[09:30] <pipe_> hello, i have a netbook hp dm1-4100 series, with "Beats audio". i m using ubuntu 12.04 and the sound isn't very well, i hear some noise. how to i can improve the sound?
[09:30] <mangoz88> andrea_17: there are lots od addons to help you with flash in firefox
[09:30] <andrea_17> i m actually using ubuntu 12.04
[09:30] <andrea_17> none of them seems to be working
[09:31] <brayn> Morning! Is there any way to allow an app to overwrite system shortcuts?
[09:31] <mangoz88> andrea_17: then i suggest a download helper addon , you can also try youtube downloader
[09:34] <andrea_17> actually mozilla keps on crashing, which browser do u all prefer?
[09:34] <_serial_> chromium
[09:35] <mangoz88> google chrome is best with flash videos
[09:35] <andrea_17> it is way better than mozilla?
[09:35] <_serial_> personal preference me thinks
[09:35] <andrea_17> so chrome or chromium?
[09:35] <_serial_> chromium
[09:35] <brayn> Also is there way way to use webapps with Chrome in 12.10 ?
[09:36] <_serial_> as you can get it from the repos straight away rather than adding the chrome stable repo
[09:36] <mangoz88> i use chrome 22 , works perfect on all videos
[09:36] <_serial_> brayn when you open a new tab theres the web app store on the bottom panel
[09:36] <Archie> .
[09:37] <brayn> _serial_, I meant the new Ubuntu functionality to treat websites as native apps. It works on Firefox and Chromium but not chrome
[09:38] <_serial_> ah ok, i don't use chrome :/
[09:38] <pipe_> hello, i have a netbook hp dm1-4100 series, with "Beats audio". i m using ubuntu 12.04 and the sound isn't very well, i hear some noise. how to i can improve the sound?
[09:39] <brayn> Is there any way to allow an app to overwrite system shortcuts?
[09:39] <opalepatrick> Any calculator that has store recall functions. gcalctool used to but they have disappeared. qalculate and speedcruch seem way over the top and more into storing variables. Bit bizarre
[09:39] <brayn> for example Ctr+Alt+L -> to allow my IDE to use that shortcut but also have lock screen functionality
[09:39] <_serial_> pipe_ : have you had a play with alsamixer?

[09:49] <pipe_> which one you recomend me?
[09:49] <_serial_> does hd-audio generic have any output?

[10:15] <sk1pper> hi folks, does anyone know what is the "private key password" option when importing a VPN connection on network manager? i have no idea what password is it asking for and if i don't give a password for that option i cannot save the imported VPN
[10:16] <nv> there is a public and private key. you its looking for the private key
[10:16] <_serial_> good luck :)
[10:17] <nv> how you get the private key all depends on the key distrobution method
[10:18] <sk1pper> nv: what do u mean? i don't have any private or public key, and it's asking me for the password of the private key
[10:18] <nv> oh that would be a pin or password you set up
[10:18] <Bettrave> Hello
[10:18] <Bettrave> I need help : Can anyone tell me how to uninstall windows programs if I installed them using wine
[10:19] <nv> you need keys for encryption
[10:19] <sk1pper> nv: i haven't set up any password, i can use the same files to connect to vpn from win7 without any additional key and password
[10:19] <nv> whatever you were using was handling keymanagement without your knowledge
[10:19] <_serial_> Bettrave: run the uninstaller that comes with the windows program
[10:20] <MonkeyDust> Bettrave  it is or should be an item in the menu - Wine > Uninstall Wine Software
[10:20] <Bettrave> the prob. where should it be ?
[10:20] <nv> windows/ or n the prog files dir,
[10:20] <Bettrave> I am using ubuntu
[10:20] <nv> theres also a folder for the install logs that has all the info
[10:22] <nv> oh nevermind my head is in the wrong place. thought you were VM'ing windows
[10:22] <_serial_> Bettrave: did you install directly to wine or did you install with playonlinux?
[10:23] <_serial_> Bettrave: http://askubuntu.com/questions/101064/uninstall-a-program-installed-with-wine
[10:23] <sk1pper> nv: no, i am trying to import a VPN connection and the network manager is asking for a private key password, and i don't have any additional password, from windows i can connect to the VPN server from GUI OpenVPN, on ubuntu i am confused :/
[10:24] <CrazyHorse181> to get cron to run from 6pm to 4am
[10:24] <CrazyHorse181> ahh dont' worry fixed it
[10:25] <nv> i dont know how your old system worked. likely some sort of TKIP. but to have an encrypted connection you always need encryption keys
[10:26] <nv> you can import the keys from your windows partition if you can find out where openvpn stores the keys
[10:30] <Mrokii> hello. How/where can I activate nvidia-drivers in Ubuntu 12.10 from the console?
[10:30] <sk1pper> nv: i am importing the configuration file from the windows partition but there is no key to import
[10:30] <Mrokii> How is the gui named that lets me activate it I mean, so I can call it from terminal
[10:30] <nv> keys are usually issued by the server after authentication and checking your public key, sometimes key management is done through secure email w/ pgp / gpg
[10:31] <bitool> 3
[10:31] <bitool> 3
[10:31] <nv> what GUI Mrokii?
[10:32] <Mrokii> nv: The GUI where I can choose which Nvidia-driver to activate. I have installed drivers, but after a reboot I am on a very small resolution and the drivers don't seem to be activated.
[10:32] <sk1pper> nv: i understand that, but the problem is that they key is not protected by a password, however network manager is asking for that private key password
[10:33] <cmd-h> try System Settings > Additional Drivers
[10:33] <nv> you had to have some kind of password to authenticate to the server when you set the connection up in windows for the first time
[10:34] <Braden`> Hello
[10:34] <Mrokii> cmd-h: I have no access to that, that's why I need to start it via Terminal. Compiz isn't working properly

[10:35] <Mrokii> So, the question is: How can I start that "additional drivers"-app/Gui from the Terminal.
[10:35] <sk1pper> nv: right, i have that password but is not a password for the key, is an authentication password
[10:35] <nv> have you tried it?
[10:35] <subdesign> thx
[10:35] <jrib> Mrokii: what ubunut version?
[10:36] <jrib> ubuntu :(
[10:36] <Mrokii> jrib: 12.10.

[10:36] <jrib> Mrokii: don't know.  Isn't it part of software center now?  Just start software center
[10:36] <Fuzzles> how come ubuntu 12.04 is supported for 5 years when 10.04 was only for 3?
[10:36] <cmd-h> injustice
[10:36] <MonkeyDust> Fuzzles  it's called LTS
[10:36] <circle> I want to find a program where I can draw some very simple mathematical diagrams. Very simple. I would normally use paint but I don't have paint on Linux, and the recreations aren't that good. What do you suggest?
[10:36] <jrib> Fuzzles: because the policy changed
[10:37] <Siegel-> hello, user of the latest version here. for a month or so two of the updates that keep recurring wont download and install properly, so all other updates get installed except for these two: "complete generic linux kernel" as well as "general linux kernel image". can someone help me solve this problem?
[10:37] <Mrokii> cmd-h: It say module nvidia_current not found.
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> ah, 10.04 vs 12.04
[10:37] <Fuzzles> jrib, ok thanks
[10:37] <Siegel-> update manager says that theyve been downloaded yet not installed.
[10:37] <cmd-h> which driver have you installed?
[10:37] <Fuzzles> does anyone use the LTS here?
[10:37] <cmd-h> me
[10:37] <Siegel-> me too
[10:37] <_serial_> i do :)
[10:37] <jrib> Siegel-: use apt-get and pastebin your command and full output
[10:38] <Fuzzles> is 12.04 going to get the new smart/optimized unity for 12.10?
[10:38] <Siegel-> jrib: no problem, yet what should i type in after apt-get ?
[10:38] <jrib> Siegel-: you're just doing an upgrade?  Do: sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:38] <jrib> Mrokii: apparently it might be in software-sources (software-properties-gtk is the command)
[10:38] <Siegel-> jrib: ok ill type that line
[10:38] <sk1pper> nv: yes i have tried and just tried it again
[10:39] <ThinkT510> Siegel-: update first then dist-upgrade
[10:39] <jrib> Siegel-: oops, I made a typo
[10:39] <jrib> Siegel-: you're just doing an upgrade?  Do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:39] <nv> you need to contact the admin and get the info
[10:39] <Mrokii> jrib: I don't see where I can activate the drivers in there.
[10:39] <jrib> Mrokii: there's supposed to be a tab
[10:39] <Siegel-> jrib: this is gonna be long... lots of lines.
[10:40] <jrib> Siegel-: pastebin can handle it :)
[10:40] <Fuzzles> if your upgradeing your safer option is a fresh install
[10:40] <Siegel-> jrib: i dont know if im doing an upgrade. its just two things that wont ever install through update manager.
[10:40] <Mrokii> jrib: What tab? What should it be named?
[10:40] <jrib> Mrokii: "Jockey has been deprecated in favor of a "Drivers" component in software-properties."
[10:40] <Fuzzles> quicker then upgrading plus less hassle
[10:40] <Mrokii> jrib: Ah, so it's the repositories thing. Thanks.
[10:41] <Siegel-> Fuzzles: what can i upgrade to? i have the latest version. im not trying to upgrade. its just that those two things always show up in update manager. does that mean they want me to upgrade?
[10:41] <Braden`> Is there a makefile generator for c++ that is decent?
[10:41] <jrib> Siegel-: update-manager does what that command does
[10:41] <Fuzzles> Siegel-, so you already using 12.10 and what packages are they?
[10:41] <ThinkT510> !dist-upgrade | Siegel-
[10:41] <PatrickDickey> Siegel-: what packages won't install?
[10:42] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: complete generic linux kernel and generic linux kernel image. upadate manager says theyre downloaded but not installed
[10:42] <Bustacap> _serial_, that worked. thanks :)
[10:43] <PatrickDickey> Siegel, does it give you an error message when you try to install them? If you don't see one, I'd try the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade option that others are recommending. At least there, you'll get some type of message.
[10:43] <Fuzzles> use the clean commands to clean packages and cache then retry siegel
[10:43] <Siegel-> Fuzzles: well no. im using the lts version. isnt that recommended anyway?
[10:44] <User123> Help with compilation required :) ./configure done but when I try "make" it writes that no makefile found but there's two of them in folder.
[10:44] <ksbalaji> I am on a liveusb with casper-rw ext4 partition. I am able to reboot with changes. But dpkg reports errors http://pastebin.com/exmHYJns . Please help.
[10:44] <_serial_> avit Bustacap! :)
[10:44] <ThinkT510> !checkinstall | User123
[10:44] <Fuzzles> Siegel-, its what i use but try the cleab commands to clean pakcages and cache restart and try installing maybe they didnt download properlty
[10:44] <PatrickDickey> Siegel and Fuzzles, it has nothing to do with upgrading (version to version). Most likely something happened, and the kernel couldn't install. Doing it via the command line (sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) will tell you what's happening.
[10:45] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: it does give me an error but im running that dist-upgrade command now. ill slee if this works.
[10:45] <circle> I want to find a program where I can draw some very simple mathematical diagrams. Very simple. I would normally use paint but I don't have paint on Linux, and the recreations aren't that good. What do you suggest?
[10:45] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: if it doesnt work, ill run it again through update manager and tell you what error i get.
[10:45] <Fuzzles> PatrickDickey, i know hes using 12.04
[10:46] <PatrickDickey> Siegel, you'll get the same error message now.
[10:46] <Siegel-> i got this line in terminal in the end : E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[10:46] <PatrickDickey> Siegel, above that, what was the last thing it was trying to do (before It started returning error messages).
[10:46]  * PatrickDickey is guessing update-grub
[10:46] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: ill paste binn this
[10:47] <User123> ThinkT510, it writes 1)make 2)sudo checkinstall. But I can't even get to #1
[10:47] <PatrickDickey> Good idea. ;-)

[10:50] <Bustacap> If I have 2 partitions, each 174gb, and start the ubuntu installer, how will I know which one is windows and which one is my ubuntu one that I want to delete and reinstall on?

[10:50] <PatrickDickey> Bustacap, are they both formatted with ntfs?
[10:51] <Bustacap> No, one has this ubuntu installation that I want to replace.
[10:51] <Bustacap> Other is windows 7
[10:51] <PatrickDickey> Swarnava, you need to mount them before you can see them.
[10:51] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: im gonna pastebin the result: http://pastebin.com/1UQ2g5EV
[10:51] <Swarnava> PatrickDickey: how to mount it?
[10:51] <PatrickDickey> Bustacap, you'll see one formatted as ntfs and the other formatted as whatever you configured ubuntu as (probably ext4
[10:51] <Bustacap> Ok. Thanks :)

[10:53] <Glurk> Hi folks, can anyone tell me where I can find the printer configuration files? It irks me a bit that I have to re-install my printers every time I do a clean install of Ubuntu and I am pretty sure there must be something like .mozilla or .Skype to restore these settings. Who can help me out here?
[10:53] <PatrickDickey> !mount | Swarnava
[10:53] <User123> ThinkT510, Maybe, I just need alternative to VLC it doesn't works :(
[10:54] <iosys> Swarnava: you can 'sudo apt-get install ntfs-config' and mount your drives with it
[10:54] <Swarnava> PatrickDickey: if i mount, will i lost the data that contain those drive?
[10:54] <ksbalaji> My initramfs does not go well with dpkg. There was a suggestion to update casper. I did - no use. Help.

[10:54] <PatrickDickey> Swarnava, nope. Mount is basically just loading the drive into the system, so you can open it.
[10:55] <ThinkT510> User123: audacious doesn't work?
[10:56] <User123> ThinkT510, PatrickDickey, Could you tell a good alternative to VLC? Default player also runs .mkv film with lags.
[10:56] <MonkeyDust> audacious is nice
[10:56] <User123> ThinkT510, I don't even know what is it.
[10:56] <PatrickDickey> Off hand, no. I pretty much use vlc or Movie Player (or XBMC).
[10:56] <Swarnava> PatrickDickey: wow..thanks man one more thing i have slow net connection, so can i install sound package offline?
[10:56] <Swarnava> !mount
[10:56] <ThinkT510> User123: beepmp is for music, not video
[10:57] <User123> Ok, will try to install.
[10:57] <ThinkT510> User123: its been dead for years
[10:57] <MonkeyDust> User123  audacious is like winamp
[10:57] <Swarnava> !command
[10:57] <ThinkT510> User123: audacious replaced it
[10:57] <PatrickDickey> Swarnava, you can download the .deb file for it, and install it via dpkg -i filename.deb
[10:57] <ThinkT510> User123: for video vlc has worked great for me but you could try gnome-mplayer
[10:57] <Swarnava> PatrickDickey: where can i get that deb file?
[10:58] <nicferrier> I want to put nginx 1.1 on my oneiric server. is the best way to just compile it? or should I use a backport?
[10:58] <PatrickDickey> Swarnava: It depends on which audio card you have. Some of them are pre-configured.
[10:58] <User123> Ok, thanks, sad that VLC doesn't play any videos for me, got used for it on win7.
[10:58] <Chotaz> Hello eveyrone, yesterday I freshly installed my hdd with ubuntu 12.10 and installed all system updates. After that I switch the graphics driver for the currently tested on(NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT) but now my screen is messeud up I can only see a small square at the center with the desktop, everything else is black.
[10:58] <PatrickDickey> User123: is it just that they lag, or do they not play at all?
[10:59] <User123> Default ubuntu12 player lags on .mkv VLC doesn't even start a video, freezes at the very beginning.
[10:59] <Siegel-> jrib: i see its a bug, thanks
[10:59] <PatrickDickey> Siegel-: I haven't forgotten you. ;-) You could try sudo dpkg --remove --pending and it should clear those two updates out. Then you can do a check for updates again, and try them again.
[11:00] <Swarnava> PatrickDickey: thanks! :)
[11:00] <Swarnava> have a nice day!
[11:00] <PatrickDickey> User123: Maybe you need the codecs?
[11:00] <PatrickDickey> You too Swarnava.
[11:00] <jrib> Siegel-: the comments are lengthy but they seem to provide a workaround/solution
[11:01] <User123> PatrickDickey, on win7 the were installing along with VLC. Do you need to install them manually on ubuntu?
[11:01] <PatrickDickey> I've had it happen a couple of times. The update is in Proposed, and I try it.  Or something else happens. I've ended up using the dpkg --remove --pending to clear it.
[11:01] <PatrickDickey> User123: in some cases, yes. If you didn't select the option to install third party applications in the installer, you might have to.
[11:01] <User123> PatrickDickey, yeah, audacious says that no decoders found for mkv + file is too large.
[11:02] <PatrickDickey> !restricted | User123
[11:05] <User123> Ubuntu restricted extras already installed.
[11:05] <circle> I want to find a program where I can draw some very simple mathematical diagrams. Very simple. I would normally use paint but I don't have paint on Linux, and the recreations aren't that good. What do you suggest?
[11:06] <PatrickDickey> User123: you might check into the mediabuntu project. They don't have it in the bot (like restricted was). But, it might do what you need.
[11:06] <Chotaz> circle: gimp?
[11:07] <ThinkT510> User123: check that you have gstreamer-plugins-bad + ugly installed
[11:07] <cmd-h> circle: something like dia?
[11:08] <PatrickDickey> circle, have you checked in Software Center?
[11:08] <MonkeyDust> circle  i found texlive, havent tried it, tho
[11:09] <User123> ThinkT510, E: Unable to locate package gstreamer-plugins-bad
[11:09] <ThinkT510> User123: use synaptic and search there
[11:09] <PatrickDickey> ThinkT510: aren't they in the mediabuntu repositories?
[11:10] <ThinkT510> PatrickDickey: they are in the official repos
[11:10] <PatrickDickey> Ahh ok.
[11:11] <User123> ThinkT510, yep, installed.
[11:11] <ThinkT510> User123: have you tried gnome-mplayer?
[11:11] <User123> PatrickDickey, mediabuntu or medibuntu?
[11:11] <ThinkT510> User123: don't bother with medibuntu
[11:11] <PatrickDickey> medibuntu.
[11:12] <User123> sudo apt-get install gnome-mplayer?
[11:12] <ThinkT510> yes
[11:12] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: thanks would i need to restart? because they still show in update manager
[11:12] <PatrickDickey> User123: Did you say that it errors out as too big (the video)?
[11:13] <PatrickDickey> Siegel, click Check. They'll show up again, but they (hopefully) will install this time.
[11:13] <Siegel-> ooh i see
[11:14] <User123> ThinkT510, E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/)
[11:14] <Mrokii> Hi. Seems I can't get the nVidida-drivers to activate on 12.10, despite having installed nvidia-current and used nvidia-xconfig. When I use modprobe I am told that Module nvidia_current isn't found.
[11:14] <ThinkT510> User123: close other package managers
[11:14] <PatrickDickey> Siegel, how long has this been happening? I ask that, because it might be a problem that they fixed later on.
[11:14] <Siegel-> i did check now im waiting for them to install.
[11:14] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: about a month maybe more
[11:15] <User123> ThinkT510, ah, right, synaptic is open.
[11:15] <PatrickDickey> User123: earlier, did you say that the error message was something about file too big?
[11:15] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: it failed. im gonna pastebin details
[11:15] <Siegel-> http://pastebin.com/Sqgey137
[11:15] <User123> PatrickDickey, ".mkv: Value too large for defined data type."
[11:16] <Girvo> Sup everyone
[11:16] <User123> PatrickDickey, + "No decoder found for file"
[11:17] <AssociateX> lp
[11:17] <AssociateX> oop's
[11:17] <circle> Chotaz: NO.
[11:17] <Chotaz> circle: sure, just throwing a suggestion.
[11:18] <User123> ThinkT510, gnome mplayer works fine, thank you! But I still wonder what's wrong with default player, VLC, audacious.
[11:19] <ThinkT510> User123: audacious is just for audio, it doesn't do video
[11:19] <PatrickDickey> Siegel-: you could try sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade it's supposed to force things.
[11:19] <vlt> Hello. I have a USB memory device here on Ubuntu 12.04 w/ kernel 3.2.0.  I ran `badblocks` on it and the number of the last found bad block is bigger than the reported size of the device. Is this possible? What does that mean?
[11:20] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: im running it
[11:22] <Glurk> quit: Gotta go, see you all later!
[11:22] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: again same error. whenever it tries to depmod it never works
[11:24] <JmCourir> Hi! Good morning guys :)
[11:25] <PatrickDickey> Siegel, I'm at a loss also. Everything that I'm seeing says run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
[11:25] <PatrickDickey> Siegel-:  in Software Settings, do you have proposed updates selected?
[11:25] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: i dont know. how do i go there
[11:26] <PatrickDickey> In Update Manger, click on Settigs.
[11:26] <PatrickDickey> Settings*
[11:26] <PatrickDickey> If there's a check in the box next to Proposed, remove it.
[11:27] <Mrokii> So what could be the reason that modprobe tells me that nvidia_current isn't found, despite having installed the drivers?
[11:27] <ThinkT510> Mrokii: isn't the module just called nvidia
[11:28] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: in which tab?
[11:28] <PatrickDickey> Updates tab.
[11:28] <Braden`> Is there a way to force apt-get to install a package even if apt is locked by another running apt?
[11:28] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: there are recommended updates, important security updates, pre-released updates (unchecked) and unsupported updates. should i uncheck recommended?
[11:28] <ThinkT510> Braden`: you don't want to do that
[11:29] <PatrickDickey> Siegel-: nope. You're good. The Pre-released is proposed.
[11:29] <Braden`> I am pretty sure valgrind (what I am wanting to install) will not interfere with any of the updates going on
[11:29] <Braden`> Is there a way to force the download of the dpkg from apt?
[11:29] <User123> ThinkT510, argh, sound is +1-2seconds but that may be video itself problem, is there any option for changing video/audio timing?
[11:29] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: ooh ok. so ill just leave it at that i guess haha.
[11:29] <ThinkT510> Braden`: wait till the updates are done then
[11:29] <Braden`> ThinkT510:  It will take to long.  Its a do-release-upgrade
[11:29] <ThinkT510> User123: no idea sorry
[11:29] <Braden`> Is there a way to force the download of the dpkg from apt?
[11:30] <Guest73582> sweetz
[11:30] <Guest73582> hiiii to all
[11:30] <ThinkT510> Braden`: that will break things if you interupt it
[11:30] <JmCourir> Hi guys, I have 6 monitors, they are all working fine. But I have a little problem. How to say to Ubuntu - Gnome3 how to select my (prefered display) to open games, apps with?
[11:30] <PatrickDickey> Yep. Sorry that I can't be of more help Siegel-.  The only other thing you could try is sudo dpkg --purge --pending
[11:30] <PatrickDickey> Siegel-: if you try that, close the update manager first.
[11:31] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: and these two are under "important security updates" aw well
[11:31] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey:  i was thinking of reinstalling the os
[11:31] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: i never save anything on my computer anyway so its  no prob
[11:31] <Mrokii> phone, afk
[11:32] <PatrickDickey> Siegel-: you can do that also. Make sure any files that you want to keep are backed up though.
[11:32] <Siegel-> i have no files. my computer is an internet machine and all the pics i have are saved on usb devices
[11:32] <User123> ThinkT510, no problem, but i thought that it takes less time to get video working on ubuntu...
[11:32] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: however i think im gonna get lubuntu this time. since i do only use my computer for browsing
[11:33] <ThinkT510> User123: vlc works flawlessly for me
[11:33] <Braden`> So there is no way to download a file from apt even if you don't want to immediately install it while apt is already running?
[11:33] <circle> I want to find a program where I can draw some very simple mathematical diagrams. Very simple. I would normally use paint but I don't have paint on Linux, and the recreations aren't that good. What do you suggest?
[11:33] <User123> ThinkT510, I'm not very lucky then :(
[11:33] <penyulap> can someone help me, I want to copy files into the current directory, but I don't use the command line much, and otherwise it doesn't seem to work because i have to be root, so I sudo instead. I want to copy a directory called for example boxofapples into the current directory. is it like this >sudo cp ///home/me/.arduino/boxofapples/* -r /
[11:33] <cmd-h> circle: Ubuntu Software Center
[11:34] <Alexi> circle, LibreOffice i think can do that
[11:34] <circle> whatr's the learning curve like?
[11:34] <Alexi> approximately 42 degrees )
[11:35] <PatrickDickey> Siegel-: Lubuntu sounds good. Or even Xubuntu. Technically that's what I have running. even though I use Unity and the ubuntu desktop.
[11:35] <User123> ThinkT510, I can't even shut down VLC and in system monitor it's said that it uses 180% cpu :D
[11:35] <penyulap> Does anyone use the command line anymore ? I dont' use it much
[11:35] <Siegel-> PatrickDickey: is there a way of doing that without creating a startup disk?
[11:35] <PatrickDickey> penyulap: is the current directory one that you have write permissions to?
[11:35] <tenX_> PatrickDickey: lubuntu? for losers?
[11:35] <Alexi> User, type   "sudo pkill -9 vlc"
[11:35] <penyulap> no, i think it is the one that I don't
[11:36] <PatrickDickey> tenX_: lubuntu = lightweight (computers)
[11:36] <penyulap> it's usr/share/arduino/libraries
[11:36] <tenX_> PatrickDickey: ah ;)
[11:36] <penyulap> it doesn't like me fooling around in there, but that is where i am supposed to put the new files i think
[11:36] <tenX_> PatrickDickey: how lightweight is it
[11:36] <PatrickDickey> penyulap: try this sudo cp -r /home/me/.arduino/boxofapples .
[11:36] <User123> Alexi, worked, thanks, what -9 is for?
[11:36] <tenX_> PatrickDickey: like debian netinstall?
[11:36] <Chotaz> Can anyone help em with ubuntu and siplay graphics driver for a geforce 9600gt?
[11:36] <wols_> penyulap: what problem are you trying to solve?
[11:36] <ThinkT510> User123: system monitor does cpu usage at 100% per core
[11:37] <Alexi> -9 is the SIGNAL you are sending , SIGKILL i think it is
[11:37] <PatrickDickey> tenX_: It's light on the desktop side. It uses Lxfce instead of Gnome/KDE.
[11:37] <User123> ThinkT510, ah, ok I have 2 cores, it's ok then.
[11:37] <tenX_> PatrickDickey: k thx 4 info
[11:37] <penyulap> :D it worked it worked Omg it worked :D
[11:38] <bazhang> PatrickDickey, lxde is lubuntu, xfce is xubuntu
[11:38] <PatrickDickey> wols, penyulap is trying to copy files from a directory in their home to a directory that they don't normally have write permissions.
[11:38] <penyulap> thank you PatrickDickey
[11:38] <bazhang> there is not a lxfce
[11:38] <phaber> hola !!!
[11:38] <PatrickDickey> Sorry bazhang, I get them confused.
[11:38] <Alexi> User123: "sudo kill -L" gives a list of SIGNAL names
[11:38] <Mrokii> ThinkT510: I don't know. I installed nvidia-current from synaptic and from the terminal a second time.
[11:38] <PatrickDickey> hola phaber, como estas?
[11:38] <Anshul> python
[11:38] <PatrickDickey> you're welcome penyulap. I hope that helped you out.
[11:38] <bazhang> !es | phaber
[11:39] <ThinkT510> Mrokii: the module is just called nvidia
[11:39] <tenX_> PatrickDickey: how about fubuntu, with fluxbox
[11:39] <bazhang> tenX_, thats fedora
[11:39] <phaber> bien.... estoy provando a intender como se hace con mirc.....
[11:39] <penyulap> it did, thank you Patrick
[11:39] <PatrickDickey> tenX_: never heard of it. I've heard of mythbuntu, edubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, and ubuntu (gnome remix also).
[11:39] <bazhang> tenX_, unless you meant fluxbuntu
[11:39] <User123> After killing VLC process gnome player works fine. I think VLC was making the video to lag. :D
[11:39] <Mrokii> ThinkT510: And how does that help?
[11:39] <ThinkT510> Mrokii: nvidia-current is just the package name in the package manager
[11:39] <tenX_> bazhang: does it really exist?
[11:39] <Alexi> Nice 1 User123
[11:39] <bazhang> s/fubuntu/fuduntu/
[11:40] <tenX_> PatrickDickey: just a guess
[11:40] <tenX_> PatrickDickey: word play
[11:40] <ThinkT510> Mrokii: lsmod nv*
[11:40] <PatrickDickey> phaber, quieres #ubuntu-es. Mi espanol is poquito.
[11:40] <bazhang> tenX_, it is unofficial. you can install fluxbox on ubuntu if you choose
[11:40] <phaber> el mio tambien....
[11:40] <Alexi> User123: if you know the Process ID number, you can do  kill -9 <number> or if you only know the name theen its  pkill -9 <name of process>
[11:41] <tenX_> bazhang: yes of course. was just trying to throw something in
[11:41] <Mrokii> ThinkT510: That doesn't seem to work. I only get "usage: lsmod"
[11:41] <ThinkT510> Mrokii: then nvidia module isn't loaded
[11:41] <Mrokii> ThinkT510: Is there a way to manually load it?
[11:41] <ThinkT510> Mrokii: pastebin the output of lsmod
[11:42] <User123> Alexi, -L shows that 9 is KILL, got it, thanks! And how do I know how process is called?
[11:42] <Alexi> Mrokii:  sudo modprobe <module name>
[11:42] <Alexi> User123:  "top" or "htop" or "ps -A"  gives a list of running processes
[11:43] <wols_> User123: or you simply use "killall" and you can use the name. no need for a PID
[11:43] <Alexi> ty wols_
[11:43] <Mrokii> ThinkT510: One moment, will take a second or two. I'm on a very small resolution currently.
[11:43] <User123> wols_, won't killall will kill all the processes? :)
[11:44] <Alexi> No, just all instances of <vlc> if there's more than 1 running
[11:44] <Mrokii> ThinkT510: http://pastebin.com/KyMTCnZS
[11:45] <Mrokii> Alexi: I already did that. I get "FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found."
[11:45] <Alexi> User123: "sudo killall vlc"  i guess would be how to do it
[11:45] <User123> Ok, got it, thanks, you all are awesome. Thanks again :)
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> Hey guys, can I dd an installed Ubuntu partition to a USB stick, add Grub to the MBR and use it as a USB OS? (obviously changing UUIDs in /etc/fstab and so forth)
[11:48] <nibbler_> ActionParsnip: you can even cp it to save time and convert fs...
[11:48] <Alexi> Mrokii: it may not exist in the /lib/modules? directory , you may have to manually build it, which is a bit fiddly, but you go to the the linux kernel directory ,and "make modules", "make modules install" or something
[11:48] <ActionParsnip> nibbler_: sweet, that's my next lump of fun then. Got my install to 2.9Gb and fancied a chuckle :). Thanks :D
[11:48] <nibbler_> ActionParsnip: but i have very bad experience with running OS from usb, at least long term
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> nibbler_: oh definately, its just to see if I can
[11:49] <Mrokii> Alexi: "or something" doesn't sound too good when it comes to fiddling with the kernel. :)
[11:49] <nibbler_> ActionParsnip: then enjoy ;-) depends a bit on your bios obv.
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> nibbler_: yeah thats all good, I install via USB
[11:49] <Mrokii> I may try to install everything manually though if there's no other solution.
[11:50] <Alexi> Mrokii: Im not familiar with your machine, but When i needed a module, I turned it on in the kernel config, and then compiled it, then modprobed it.
[11:51] <wols_> Mrokii: you are lacking the nvidia module? what dos dpkg -l |grep nvidia say?
[11:51] <wols_> there should be some nvidia-kernel or sopackage shown
[11:51] <wols_> ActionParsnip: you can't. you would have to reinstall grub. then you could
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> wols_: "dd Grub to the MBR"  ;)
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> *add
[11:52] <Mrokii> wols_: It shows me some lines about nvidia-drivers that are installed.
[11:53] <Mrokii> wols_: ii  nvidia-current                                              310.14-0ubuntu1~xedgers~quantal3                    amd64        NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library

[11:53] <Mrokii> ii  nvidia-settings                                             310.14-0ubuntu1~xedgers~quantal2                    amd64        Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: sudo dpkg -P nvidia-experimental-304
[11:53] <wols_> ActionParsnip: grub needs to know where to find stage 1.5 and 2. that is written to the MBR wen installing. basically patching the grub code. dd won't help
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: please use a pastebin for multiple lined outputs
[11:54] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: Sorry, next time. I need to reboot after that command?
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> wols_: can I chroot to the USB OS and sort Grub from there?
[11:54] <MaxedOut> What are some basic spreadsheet calculators that work under console other than sc?  (SC is really to powerful for what I want, which is to setup a table of strings that I can modify on the fly during a ssh session)
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: worth a try
[11:54] <wols_> ActionParsnip: that's fine, yes. bind mount /proc and /dev/ beforehand
[11:55] <Mrokii> I'll see. Thanks for now.
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> wols_: absolutely. I've chrooted a few times :)
[11:55] <MaxedOut> I'm not really using it for calculations, just to organize data as I go from site to site.
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> !info oleo
[11:55] <Hippie_> Hi
[11:55] <wols_> !info nvidia-current
[11:56] <Alexi> MaxedOut:  gnumeric, libreoffice has one, may  be also too much.
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> !info ses
[11:56] <andrea__> hy any support for medibuntu?
[11:56] <wols_> mrmist: use the propre ubuntu nvidia-current module. not the xedgers one. waste of bytes anyways for your system
[11:56] <MaxedOut> Alexi: I've never heard of gnumeric so I'll try that.  I thought Libreoffice was strictly GUI
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> MaxedOut: there is ss too which is an sc derrivative
[11:56] <Hippie_> whats the best way to install nvidia drivers on a fresh installation
[11:57] <wols_> mrmist: gnumeric is X too. and libreoffice as well of course
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> Hippie_: there is no best way
[11:57] <Alexi> MaxedOut: sorry, i misread that you wanted a console program, gnumeric is also a gui
[11:57] <dr_willis> andrea__: its an unofficial 3rd party repo. so not really
[11:57] <wols_> !nvidia | Hippie_
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> Hippie_: I use:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> !info slsc
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> !info ss
[11:57] <MaxedOut> Alexi: oh, okay that happens.
[11:57] <Michiellllaptop> why is my 11.10 install asking to update to 12.04 instead of 12.10?
[11:57] <dr_willis> !medibuntu
[11:57] <wols_> ActionParsnip: ask ubottu in private, until you found it :P
[11:57] <andrea__> my problem is video on YT and others, i can see just a few videos; any suggestions?
[11:58] <wols_> int3nz0r: cause you must upgrade to the next ubuntu version. you can't skip releases
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> wols_: will do
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> MaxedOut: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SimpleEmacsSpreadsheet
[11:58] <MaxedOut> ActionParsnip: I've never tried ss so I'll look into it.  I really just want to organize strings in a nice easy to read table.  i'm not using it for calculations.  Do you have any other recommendations?
[11:58] <wols_> Michiellllaptop: ^^
[11:58] <MaxedOut> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[11:58] <dr_willis> Michiellllaptop: you upgrade from lts to lts.. or to each release in order.
[11:58] <int3nz0r> wols_ wrong highlight ;)
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> MaxedOut: http://sourceforge.net/projects/oleo/
[11:59] <Michiellllaptop> okГ© imma delay the next update though, this one is taking like 45min already
[11:59] <Michiellllaptop> i dont need another hour wasted after this
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> MaxedOut: these aren't recommendations, its just stuff I'm finding
[11:59] <MaxedOut> ActionParsnip: Well your google fu is better than mine.  I kept pulling up sc through various searches, I suppose because it is the most powerful of the console tools.
[12:00] <Bustacap> So if I install nvidia-current, when I reboot, I get a blank screen with my desktop and I can't do anything. What can I do to fix it :/
[12:00] <dr_willis> i used sc for many years. ;-)
[12:00] <Michiellllaptop> unity just closed i think o.O
[12:00] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: Still nothing. This time modprobe tells me that 304 can't be loaded. Guess I'll see if I can install/compile or whatever the drivers manually. :(
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: you can't compile the proprietary driver, its proprietary
[12:01] <Michiellllaptop> all the menu bars have disappeared and i can't alt+tab
[12:01] <wols_> somehow it's funny. everyone has nvidia problems. and there they said it'd be the one to get for linux... imagine that
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: could uninstall the nvidia-current you have, remove the edgers PPA then install the one from the Ubuntu repos
[12:01] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: I mean install it manually. I know I did that before.
[12:01] <Michiellllaptop> and it says it still needs 30minutes :|
[12:01] <dr_willis> ive rarely had nvidia problems. ;-)
[12:01] <wols_> rickbol: purge ALL nvidia drivers you have installed, and run depmod -a
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> wols_: nvidia has been flawless here for many many years
[12:02] <wols_> Mrokii: installing manually is a foolish thing
[12:02] <wols_> Mrokii: ^
[12:02] <dr_willis> had more issues with intel here.
[12:02] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: I have installed the 304 one and activated it (at least according to the repository-GUI.
[12:02] <Alexi> i like nouveau, and it will soon have reclocking for my card.
[12:02]  * Michiellllaptop now hates updates -.-
[12:02] <ActionParsnip> seen more issues with AMD/Radeon and SiS things
[12:02] <Mrokii> wols_: If you have a better idea...
[12:02] <wols_> Mrokii: I just told you what to do. your choice
[12:03] <unityman> I will support unity. Even though there are like ten of thousands of Icons that Unity could have used along with better GUI like cairo that could get the job done better. Real support is for intergration of cell phones and tablets. Like were there taking Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: what does nvidia-settings say you are using?
[12:03] <wols_> Mrokii: purge them all and stop using xedgers. run depmod -a before trying again
[12:03] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: It tells me that the 304 driver is used.
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> unityman: then use Cairo...nothing stopping you
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> Mrokii: cool, did you try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig    and rebooting?
[12:04] <Mrokii> ActionParsnip: No, didn't try xconfig again, forgot about that. Though I somehow doubt that it will work, as I had used that before with the other driver. Anyhow, I'll try. Thanks for now.
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> unityman: I use Lubuntu + xompmgr + Docky. Works well: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/QuantalDesktop.png
[12:05] <unityman> ActionParsnip: Agreed just was unsure of the vision Mark Staleworth had for ubuntu. But his idea is much clearer now.
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> unityman: I switched from plank 9in that  image) to docky recently
[12:06] <unityman> ActionParsnip: When I'm get down to nutts and bolts I use Arch Linux with Openbox and Conky with RSS feeds.
[12:06] <fra> ciao
[12:06] <ActionParsnip> unityman: if you install xcompmgr and add:  @xcompmgr -n    to your session config, you can use compositing :)
[12:07] <fra> !list
[12:07] <dr_willis> so fra. do you  ! list every channel you join?
[12:08] <Mrokii> As I thought. Didn't help as well. So I'm getting rid of all that nVidia-crap for a while, so at least I can use this installation.
[12:08] <unityman> ActionParsnip: probably going to load Gnome 3 and cairo with kupfer. I usually use kupfer over all much faster then my mouse.
[12:08] <seednode> so
[12:10] <wojtek> Hi guys. I have a problem with 12.04->12.10 upgrade (RAID1). Grub says "Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting." I have already tried boot-repair, but without luck (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1306993/). Any help would be appreciated...
[12:10] <unityman> ActionParsnip: Wireless keyboard and mouse  on a 32" LED Vizio Tv. Watch Football through firstrowsports.eu and Veetle for movies..
[12:14] <unityman> ActionParsnip: Waiting to see what ISP plan for torrents and illegal downloads.  Seen on CNN they plan to limit bandwidth if you violate there policy here in near future. May need to spoof My Commcast subscribtion
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> unityman: 32" Toshiba TV of some sort (I'm not that interested in TVs to care) for remote controlling VLC with my android phone and the occasional blast on Urban Terror
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> unityman: Unlimited everything here so far in the UK.
[12:16] <unityman> ActionParsnip: Yep, UK doesn't have the same copyright laws as America... I am starting to hate my country in all round about ways... :(..
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> unityman: 'land of the free' ;)
[12:18] <unityman> ActionParsnip: Hey just get rid of Corprate America and the American Dream will love on.. Greed is not Good!
[12:18] <Eagleman> How do i see which port is being used for submission in postfix>?
[12:19] <unityman> Eagleman: port scanner should give you that info...
[12:19] <ActionParsnip> Eagleman: there is #postfix too, slightly more precise to your issue. Could be useful to ask there too
[12:20] <Eagleman> It only shows which ports are open?
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> Eagleman: 'netstat -a' can show active ports etc.
[12:21] <Eagleman> Also tried that, but it doesnt show me who or what used that port and for what:   tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:587             <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN
[12:21] <Pici> Eagleman: sudo netstat -tanp will list process names
[12:22] <Eagleman> master/ so its postfix
[12:23] <lazarus_> when useing wget is it possible to only download certain file type i.e exclude .jpg files from the download
[12:23] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:23] <yeehi> I want to find .iso files inside a folder - The folder I want to search has many sub folders. /home/saved/ How do I search for iso files inside all these sub folders?
[12:24] <Pici> yeehi: find /path/ -iname "*.iso"
[12:24] <yeehi> thanks Pici - let me try that
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: i the images are in a single folder you can use the --cut-dirs=   option
[12:28] <gongysh> who knows how to make networkmanager not to manage a given network device?
[12:28] <gongysh> on ubuntu 12.04
[12:28] <yeehi> pici - that didn't work - nothing happened...
[12:29] <Pici> yeehi: did you replace /path/ with /home/saved ?
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: there is also the --reject    option and you can specify the rejection of the files you don't want.
[12:29] <codefyre> lazarus: wget -R
[12:29] <yeehi> yes, pici
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: guess where I'm getting this from?
[12:29] <lazarus_> because i need to make a backup of a website but i only need the html files no images and so on
[12:29] <yeehi> let me try again, pici
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> codefyre: yes but to then not download certain files...?
[12:29] <codefyre> lazarus: wget -R jpg
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: guess where I'm getting this stuff from?
[12:30] <lazarus_> ActionParsnip: the help pages
[12:30] <yeehi> pici, how do i convert the icons at the top of nautilus into a path directory I can copy / paste?
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: man wget
[12:30] <lazarus_> ah
[12:30] <Pici> yeehi: I don't know, sorry.  I mostly use the terminal for everything I do.
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: thats literally all I am reading, and what you want is there.....did you not read that before asking?
[12:31] <yeehi> you are cool Pici! I should get better with the command line...
[12:31] <lazarus_> i was just confused as to what i was reading
[12:32] <alluazad> Hi all
[12:32] <alluazad> Will shipit be sending dvd again >?
[12:32] <alluazad> sooner
[12:32] <alluazad> ?
[12:33] <ksbalaji> After tiner
[12:34] <ksbalaji> After tinkering a lot, now I am on a liveusb. Now, the / doesnot have a vmlinuz link. Does this mean I lose everything on reboot? If so, how to recreate link? SOS please
[12:36] <IdleOne> alluazad: Canonical no longer ships free cd/dvd.
[12:36] <alluazad> will any other company take up the project ?
[12:37] <alluazad> it was very helpful before
[12:37] <IdleOne> alluazad: probably not.
[12:37] <ksbalaji> Is it ok to have a vmlinuz zip file in / instead of a normal vmlinuz?  SOS please
[12:38] <alluazad> will speed be an issue if i am installing 12.10 inside win 7 64 bit ?
[12:38] <alluazad> ram is 4 gb
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> alluazad: you can buy them from the canonical store, or even ebay
[12:39] <IdleOne> alluazad: what do you mean by :inside" ?
[12:39] <IdleOne> "inside"
[12:39] <alluazad> inside like virtual
[12:39] <alluazad> there is an option for that right ?
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> alluazad: do you mean Wubi?
[12:40] <alluazad> yes thats it
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> alluazad: that's not virtual
[12:40] <IdleOne> alluazad: installing in a VM will take a performance hit which is expected
[12:40] <alluazad> so wubi is not virtual ?
[12:40] <IdleOne> no
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> alluazad: you just use your crappy NTFS to hold a file which stores your Ubuntu OS
[12:41] <MonkeyDust> alluazad  wubi is a pseudo-installation, so to say, inside windows
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> alluazad: it is loop mounted at boot and booted to
[12:41] <alluazad> so i am using it like any other program in win 7 right ?
[12:41] <alluazad> so there will not be any speed issue
[12:41] <MonkeyDust> alluazad  yes
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> alluazad: it is installed as a program but you still need to reboot to get to Ubuntu
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> alluazad  my yes referred to your first question
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> alluazad: I recommend you resize yourNTFS using Windows 7 disk manager then install to the freed space
[12:42] <alluazad> ntfs not supported ?
[12:42] <Eagleman> !ntfs
[12:43] <nessi_-> my upgrade vim 12.04 to 12.10 is messed up. I was asked to restart at some point during the upgrade, ever since I don't have any X working nor network working. When I run apt-get upgrade I get many packets listed which are not yet installed. "-f" does not work either, when I do that it tries to download some more packets which it cannot due to lack of network connectivity. Can I boot from USB/CD and resume the upgrade from the USB/CD medi
[12:43] <nessi_-> instead?
[12:43] <IdleOne> alluazad: it is supported in that you can read/write to ntfs but you can't do a real install of Ubuntu to ntfs.
[12:44] <alluazad> ok i get it
[12:44] <alluazad> i will do wubi
[12:44] <alluazad> so that it will not mess with partition
[12:44] <IdleOne> alluazad: sounds like a safe option for you at this point.
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> idd :)
[12:45] <alluazad> yea :) i dont want to lose data in the hdd
[12:45] <alluazad> if there will no speed issue , then i am good to go
[12:45] <ex0a> nessi_-: boot with livecd then chroot into the install and upgrade that way
[12:45] <nessi_-> ex0a: I'll try that, Thanks
[12:46] <alluazad> one more question : why major game titles are not in linux ?
[12:46] <alluazad> is ubuntu not good for graphical gaming ?
[12:46] <wojtek> Why grub-install returns with "Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting." error? (Ubuntu 12.10, software RAID1). Here is log from boot-repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1306993/)
[12:46] <pestilence> i used to have keyboard shortcuts that made a window take up half the screen on the left, half the screen on the right, and maximize/unmaximize.  Any ideas on how to get that back?
[12:46] <ex0a> alluazad: because the hardware manufacturers aren't concerned about linux drivers
[12:47] <pestilence> in keyboard shortcuts for "windows" i only see "maximize" as an option
[12:47] <alluazad> that is one thing i am not entirely shifting to ubuntu . i will miss gaming :(
[12:47] <pestilence> for some reason when i upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10, the keyboard shortcuts didn't make it.
[12:48] <pestilence> alluazad: steam for linux isn't far away
[12:48] <alluazad> will linux be capable to use my graphics card ?
[12:48] <alluazad> nvidia has drivers for ubuntu >
[12:48] <alluazad> ?
[12:49] <_cronus_> nessi_-, you should be able to do that, but it might be easier to get the network running...
[12:49] <ex0a> alluazad: yeah you should be okay, they may lack some of the advanced features that you would get in windows though
[12:49] <alluazad> ok ok
[12:49] <alluazad> i will install 12.10 to get the feel of it :0
[12:50] <alluazad> :)
[12:52] <pestilence> alluazad: yes, nvidia makes linux drivers.  they work just fine.
[12:52] <pranav> do parcellite doesn't works with 12.04
[12:52] <pranav> ?
[12:53] <amaurea> Hi! I'm on ubuntu 12.04, and I'm trying to add a SMB printer. This page (http://askubuntu.com/questions/153517/ubuntu-12-04-network-printing-through-windows-samba-server) shows a nice-looking configuration panel with all the settings I need to fill in, but on my own system, the printer settings dialogue found in system settings lacks almost all of these options.
[12:53] <amaurea> So I guess I'm using the wrong program for adding this
[12:54] <pestilence> alluazad: yes, really
[12:55] <alluazad> brb need to check
[12:56] <dr_willis> amaurea: you could try the cups web interface also. http://localhost:631
[12:57] <amaurea> dr_willis: This looks promising. Thanks :)
[12:57] <callcenter> hola
[12:57] <callcenter> aaa
[12:58] <fego> hi callcenter
[12:58] <pestilence> alluazad: in 12.10, package nvidia-current has Version: 304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1
[13:00] <IdleOne> Ubuntu Open Week - IRC session with AlanBell http://youtu.be/aYvqlUpZLhk starting any second #ubuntu-classroom-chat www.ubuntuonair.com
[13:01] <pinnerup> ardchoille: Double Commander is now out in the PPA for quantal. I suggest you give it a try if you like Orthodox File Managers :)
[13:04] <amaurea> dr_willis: How do I set the username and password to be used for the SMB printer using the cups web interface?
[13:04] <alluazad> confirmed :)
[13:06] <dr_willis> amaurea: not sure. havent done  a windows shared printer in years
[13:06] <amaurea> Does anybody else here know?
[13:09] <_cronus_> amaurea, why not using system settings? it is probably easier...
[13:09] <amaurea> _cronus_: see my original question 12 min ago
[13:10] <alluazad> bye bye
[13:10] <alluazad> all
[13:10] <amaurea> system settings' add printer dialog does not contain the settings I need. It just automatically tries to find all printers, and doesn't let me specify the SMB details, unlike the example on the page I linked to
[13:10] <BrianBlaze> anyone know what the best way after compying a file how to clear out the old one so it is empty without deleting each line one at a time
[13:11] <_cronus_> amaurea, you should be able to get to these settings. have you selected the windows printer via samba option?
[13:11] <ardchoille> pinnerup: Oh, nice. Thank you for that!
[13:11] <pestilence> BrianBlaze: rm?
[13:11] <llutz> BrianBlaze: "> filename"
[13:11] <BrianBlaze> I don't want to remove
[13:11] <BrianBlaze> just empty it out lol
[13:11] <pestilence> you just want to truncate it?
[13:11] <amaurea> _cronus_: I have no samba option. I have a "local" and "network" option, and these have no sub-options
[13:11] <pestilence> rm && touch ?
[13:11] <jrib> BrianBlaze: I would just use mv and then create an empty file. It will be faster in some cases
[13:11] <pestilence> oh, llutz's suggestion is easier.
[13:12] <amaurea> _cronus_: the "network" option has a box where I can tell it to search for printers by name, and that's all
[13:12] <amaurea> _cronus_: I'll make a screenshot of it
[13:13] <somethinginteres> fstab seems to be giving my HDD the wrong permissions. I just want to automount on boot, problem is root is the owner of "My_Book". Can't figure out why. http://pastebin.com/GSEKk7a2
[13:13] <jrib> somethinginteres: you don't have any options related to ownership in your fstab
[13:13] <llutz> somethinginteres: because fstab-mounts are done as root. use "uid/gid" in mount-options to change that
[13:13] <jrib> !ntfs | somethinginteres

[13:17] <PatrickDickey> Now, I've got a strange question. I have Skype open on Xubuntu 12.10. When I close it, it is supposed to go to the notification area, but it disappears. I don't have a bottom panel at all. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
[13:17] <_cronus_> amaurea, you said you are using ubuntu 12.04, right?
[13:17] <usr13_> somethinginteres: ext4   users,rw,defaults        0       0
[13:18] <usr13_> somethinginteres: ntfs   users,rw,defaults        0       0
[13:18] <usr13_> (first one was typo)
[13:18] <BrianBlaze> oh sorry I never thanked u guys for the input so thanks!
[13:18] <somethinginteres> usr13: will try

[13:19] <nicofs> I just upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04 and now I "can't access" my other display. I use an nVidia card and the nVidia x server settings with two displays. If I try to move the mouse over to the other display, it simply vanishes and reappears on the other corner of the same display... I can't get "over to the other one"... any ideas?
[13:19] <tyler_d> my laptop has unexpectedly shutdown 2 times this morning, what in the syslog might give me a hint of what is going on?
[13:19] <tyler_d> 12.04 64
[13:20] <amaurea> _cronus_: Yes
[13:20] <amaurea> _cronus_: It didn't start out as that version, though. Perhaps an update only went through partially, if that is an older version of the dialogue box?
[13:22] <lanoxx> is there a way to find orphaned file on ubuntu (e.g. files that do not belong to a package) (except /home/ of course
[13:22] <unityman> uname -a
[13:23] <somethinginteres> usr13: no go. Same. 2TB works, same info. Says "not the owner, can't change permissions in properties dialog.
[13:23] <ratbert90> Hey, if anybody is around, I have a issue with nfs and samba exibiting the same problem.  I have a second EXT4 hard-drive, and nfs or samba refuse to open or share folders on it.   Does anybody know how to fix this?
[13:23] <Zuhaitz> Hi, I updated my Ubuntu Linux 12.04 to 12.10, I have it configured in BASQUE/NAVARRE language, the problem is that now some parts are in the second language (incomplete), should I reinstall? may be is not translated in 12.10? or may I reinstall 12.10 from zero? Thanks for the atention.
[13:24] <usr13_> somethinginteres: Did you log out and back in again?
[13:24] <usr13_> and remount
[13:24] <usr13_> umount and mount
[13:25] <somethinginteres> usr13: yep
[13:25] <_cronus_> amaurea, sorry, i can't think of what might be causing this.
[13:25] <Chotaz> Hello everyone, I'm having some problems with my NVidia graphics card and ubuntu 12.10, can anyone spare me some time?
[13:26] <amaurea> _cronus_: Ok, no worries. Thanks anyways
[13:26] <yossarianuk> hi -I need help with compiling the ubuntu kernel - i.e kernel + ubuntu patches..  I know how to compile a kernel generally from  kernel.org (make-kpkg), and I know how to use git to do it .
[13:26] <yossarianuk> I would like to know how to compile via the linux-source-3.5.0 package....  I notice the kernel source is @ /usr/src/linux-source-3.5.0/linux-source-3.5.0.tar.bz2 - is this just the vinilla source ? what do I do with the debian/ + debian.master/ folders ? Do I use make-kpkg or the standard debian packaging commands
[13:28] <usr13_> Chotaz: What's the problem?
[13:29] <jrib> !kernel | yossarianuk
[13:29] <Chotaz> usr13_: After freshly installing the system, the gpu fans were at 100% all the time, like no drivers were loaded, so I search around system settings and found it was using an opensource drive, so I switched to the one that corresponds to nvidia-current (the tested one) and after rebooting I can't see my desktop properly only a small square at the center of the monitor is visible all the rest is black.
[13:30] <usr13_> Chotaz: How did you install it?
[13:31] <Chotaz> usr13_: I stumbled upon the driver option while searching around the tabs for the software updates that pop up after the instalation
[13:31] <yossarianuk> jrib: I do want to compile it... I have always done so, my question was really about thr linux-source package..
[13:31] <Michiellllaptop> i installed dropbox from the software center and now it says it's running from an unsupported location. Is this known and does it matter?
[13:31] <jrib> yossarianuk: so read the link ubottu gave you.
[13:32] <usr13_> Chotaz: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[13:32] <yossarianuk> will do - thanks
[13:32] <Michiellllaptop> hmmm, nobody knows then?
[13:33] <Chotaz> usr13_: I can't even access the terminal, the square centered at the screen is only a part of the desktop, I can't access any menus, as they are beyond the visible square and the mouse only works inside it
[13:33] <Zuhaitz> Hi, I updated my Ubuntu Linux 12.04 to 12.10, I have it configured in BASQUE/NAVARRE language, the problem is that now some parts are in the second language (incomplete), should I reinstall? may be is not translated in 12.10? or may I reinstall 12.10 from zero? Thanks for the atention.
[13:33] <magic_al> i ve just installed ubuntu 12.10 on a brand new lenovo thinkpad. my card reader dosnt work out. what can i do?
[13:35] <usr13_> Chotaz: Ctrl-Alt-F6  #And log in.
[13:35] <Chotaz> usr13_: ok, done, the filed as been renamed, should I do anything else?
[13:36] <usr13_> yes
[13:36] <nicofs> After an update to 12.10 I can't access my other screen... the mouse "refuses to go there"... please help...
[13:37] <usr13_> Chotaz: sudo service lightdm restart
[13:37] <wastrel> nicofs: did you check in the displays settings
[13:39] <nicofs> wastrel, I use nVidia X Server Settings and by now I must have tries every single possibility of setting my system up...
[13:39] <nicofs> *tried
[13:39] <wastrel> i dunno from nvidia
[13:40] <d1gital> hey, #ubuntu, I'm trying to set up a secondary monitor on my laptop.  The second display has a higher resolution than the laptop's LCD, so when I set them side-by-side in ARandR, there's always a piece of the display which is inaccessible.  There must be a way to make the display L-shaped, right?
[13:41] <Magentium> digital, what kind of graphics adapter do you have? how are you hooking up the other monitor, and what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[13:41] <Chotaz> usr13_: i'll restart now to test this, brb.
[13:42] <Chotaz> usr13_: ^
[13:42] <john_doe_jr> I have a script that is running and errors out @ the terminalвҖҰit writes a lot of stuff to the terminal but I can't see all the infoвҖҰis there any way I can see all the info @ the terminal?
[13:42] <d1gital> Magentium: here's the adapter info: http://pastebin.com/4SMHy7qb
[13:43] <magic_al> i ve just installed ubuntu 12.10 on a brand new lenovo thinkpad. my card reader dosnt work out. what can i do?
[13:43] <d1gital> Magentium: it's a Samsung 1600x1200 LCD connected via the laptop's VGA port.
[13:44] <d1gital> Magentium: and I'm on precise
[13:44] <ratbert90> anybody?
[13:44] <sporkboy> okay... I can only get the battery meter showing if I also show the print, messaging, and volume, thus making my titlebar look really cluttered, mostly with stuff I'll never use. any way I can disable things inside of indicator-applet?
[13:44] <simplew> is possible to access ubuntu cloud form another OS?
[13:44] <ratbert90> This is pretty terrible, and ubuntu 12.04 didn't have any issues at all with sharing a external.
[13:45] <Magentium> and you are finding it is not scaling properly?
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> ratbert90: if you run:  smbtree  on the server, does it see it's own shares?
[13:46] <d1gital> It works fine if I use only the external monitor, or run both at the same vertical resolution.  The problem comes in when I want to run the monitor at its full resolution, which is taller than the laptop
[13:46] <usr13_> Chotaz: You don't need to restart, just go back to tty7,  Ctrl-Alt-F7  or Alt-Right-Arrow
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> simplew: should be ok in theory, 'access' in what way?
[13:46] <simplew> ActionParsnip: im in windows now, can i access it from here?
[13:47] <ratbert90> ActionParsnip, no
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> simplew: access it to do what? FTP? SSH? HTTP? What?
[13:47] <ratbert90> ActionParsnip, nfs does though, but gives me a access denied error
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> ratbert90: then you need to check there first before you start messing with client systems
[13:47] <d1gital> If I extend the desktop across both monitors, there's an inaccessible rectangle above the laptop's LCD which is part of the display area, but is invisible
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> ratbert90: is the samba service running?
[13:47] <simplew> ActionParsnip: i dont know, im simply asking if i can access it from windows? and if possible how?
[13:47] <ratbert90> ActionParsnip, yes
[13:47] <d1gital> i.e. windows are rendered there, desktop icons, etc
[13:47] <ActionParsnip> simplew: if it is network accessible then yes it is accessible
[13:48] <Zuhaitz> Hi, I updated my Ubuntu Linux 12.04 to 12.10, I have it configured in BASQUE/NAVARRE language, the problem is that now some parts are in the second language (incomplete), should I reinstall? may be is not translated in 12.10? or may I reinstall 12.10 from zero? Thanks for the atention.
[13:48] <simplew> ActionParsnip: so how do i do it
[13:48] <yeehi> In Nautilus, How do I add a short cut to a folder that will appear on the left side, along with e.g. home, Documents, Music
[13:48] <llutz> simplew: you mean ubuntu-one?
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> simplew: depends what to achieve. In what way are you wantinig to 'access' it. 'Access' tells us nothing
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> simplew: you can SSH to the system using putty, for example
[13:49] <simplew> ActionParsnip: i want to enter in cloud to upload files
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> simplew: or web browse to it using a we browser
[13:49] <pestilence> top
[13:49] <simplew> ActionParsnip: whats the url?
[13:49] <pestilence> doh!
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> simplew: then you can probably use SFTP which you get with the SSH server you access the system with
[13:49] <Simon1245> Hey guys, how can I change so Windows loads up first and not linux? I remember there was some program earlier that you could use to change it with a gui as I'm not very good with the terminal as I bearly use Linux.
[13:49] <simplew> ActionParsnip: whats the url to use a broswer
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> simplew: use something like filezilla and connect via SFTP to the address you connect to via SSH and you can throw files up to the server
[13:50] <simplew> ActionParsnip: whats the address?
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> simplew: if the system isn't hosting an HTTP server, its pointless trying to connect to it
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> simplew: the address is the one you connect to when you use putty/SSH
[13:50] <llutz> Simon1245: "sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober /etc/grub.d/08_os-prober && sudo update-grub"
[13:50] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, got everything almost working - but missing the applications from my unity lens?
[13:50] <Xiol> Simon1245: You can edit something like /etc/default/grub and change the default OS to boot. I'm pretty sure it's there, not used Ubuntu for a while.
[13:51] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, "unity-lens-applications is already the newest version."
[13:51] <simplew> ActionParsnip: what?!?
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> simplew: you SSH to the system don't you. To configure it and so forth, via SSH. Right>
[13:51] <simplew> ActionParsnip: im asking whats the acress to use sin cei never used putty or any other tool to access it
[13:51] <ratbert90> ActionParsnip, I can share a local drive on SDA1, but SDB1 refuses to share the drive.  I see it as a share, but when I double click on it, it errors out with:  Failed to mount Windows share, please select another viewer and try again
[13:52] <Simon1245> Thanks llutz and Xiol :)
[13:52] <nicofs> I can't move my mouse over to my second display after upgrading to 12.10... how can I get that working again? (nVidia)
[13:52] <llutz> simplew: "ubuntu-cloud" you mean access to ubuntu-one or what exactly?
[13:52] <Simon1245> llutz, How do I start it?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> ratbert90: you share the mount point, not the drive. sda1 and sdb1 aren't even drives. They are partitions
[13:52] <Xiol> simplew: If you've never used PuTTY or another tool to access it before, I don't think you're going to be able to achieve what you're trying to achieve in a reasonable timeframe
[13:52] <pestilence> nicofs: is the second display using twinview or is it a separate xserver?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> simplew: where did you get this cloud thing from?
[13:52] <pestilence> nicofs: regardless, you should be able to sort it out using nvidia-settings
[13:53] <ratbert90> ActionParsnip, I know
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: you could reinstall the package to reinstate it, may help
[13:53] <ratbert90> what I am saying is sharing a mount point ON sdb1 gives me that error
[13:53] <nicofs> pestilence, seperate x screen - but the settings don't have a checkbox for use mouse for both screens...
[13:53] <ratbert90> on SDA1 it doesn't
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> ratbert90: so why say 'drive' when you  know it's not a drive...
[13:53] <ratbert90> because the problem only occurs on trying to share on the second drive
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> ratbert90: All I can recommend is unshare the mount point, then reshare it.
[13:54] <ratbert90> tried it :\
[13:54] <luyang> Hi is the latest version 12.10?
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> ratbert90: I've ony used smb.conf to share folders, works well. How are you configuring the share?
[13:54] <wastrel> luyang: yes
[13:54] <luyang> I think I currently have 12.04. Any good reason to upgrade? Can I do it from 12.04?
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> luyang: look at the version numbers, then think about what yearit is, then think again ;)
[13:54] <d1gital> I'm trying to set up a secondary monitor on my laptop.  The second display has a higher resolution than the laptop's LCD, so when I set them side-by-side in ARandR, there's always a piece of the display which is inaccessible.  There must be a way to make the display L-shaped, right?
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> luyang: you can upgrade from Precise to Quantal in one move, yes
[13:55] <luyang> ActionParsnip:  is it year month version numbers? if so that's smrat
[13:55] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, no diffrence )-:
[13:55] <luyang> ActionParsnip: how?
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> luyang: yes, thats exactly it
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | luyang
[13:55] <luyang> smart lads at ubuntu
[13:55] <donofrio> is it a logout login thing? or some command I need to run like "unity -justworkandshowmemyapps" switch
[13:55] <pestilence> nicofs: don't know what the answer is.  I use twinview.  Not really sure what it would mean to use the same mouse on two different x servers
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> luyang: also makes it easier to know when releases are EOL ;)
[13:55] <simplew> im in https://one.ubuntu.com/services/ and i have logged in, but now i dont see how i can upload files
[13:55] <brontosaurusrex> luyang: 12.04 is LTS, 12.10 is not
[13:56] <luyang> but 12.10 is probably 12.04 with some bells and whistles?
[13:56] <luyang> I don't need s upport anyway
[13:56] <ratbert90> with system-config-samba
[13:56] <luyang> I'm cutting edge
[13:56] <brontosaurusrex> lol
[13:56] <ratbert90> ActionParsnip, with system-config-samba
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> luyang: 12.10 has some jazzy new Unity features
[13:56] <luyang> such as?
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> ratbert90: I see, not used that, sorry
[13:56] <nicofs> pestilence, it used to be that way: push mouse over the edge of screen one and it appears on screen 2 - now it appears on the other side of the same screen...
[13:56] <Mrokii> hello. I switched back to Nouveau because I couldn't get nVidia-drivers to work. But now I have the problem that compiz isn't loaded automatically anymore after boot.
[13:56] <astropirate> Is it possible for me to continue to use my desktop as normal, and have a friend SSH into my computer with a second user and also do stuff on the computer via SSH?
[13:56] <ardchoille> !webapps
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> luyang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3IpXE2bYv0
[13:57] <rozmuq> how do i make xchat minimize to tray when i close it:?
[13:57] <donofrio> by jazzy he means you have a few packages to remove on each install apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping unity-lens-music
[13:57] <luyang> ActionParsnip: thx
[13:57] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: depends on taste. I use Lubuntu so sidestep a lot of the fluff
[13:58] <simplew> FOR what i see i can only access ubuntu cloud if running UBUNTU
[13:58] <Mrokii> wols_: I had tried your suggestion, getting rid of xedgers, puring drivers and re-installing nVidia, plus using "depmod -a". Unfortunately that didn't make the nVidia-drivers work.
[13:58] <sporkboy> Mrokii! I just dealt with that.
[13:58] <luyang> Wow Ubuntu bundles Amazon....
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> simplew: so you want to download and upload files to your ubuntu one storage in windows? Is that right?
[13:58] <luyang> :o
[13:58] <sporkboy> Mrokii, had to put in a new ppa, lemme find the page again.
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> luyang: some love it, some hate it
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> luyang  yes, controversial decision
[13:58] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, but how do I get my application lens rendering?
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> luyang: its removable
[13:59] <luyang> MonkeyDust: I can imagine
[13:59] <luyang> ActionParsnip: I see
[13:59] <pestilence> nicofs: try using twinview.  I think that's what you want.
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: how do you mean?
[13:59] <nicofs> pestilence, that's not what I want. I have been using seperate x screens happily for a few years now...
[14:00] <brennan_> hi room
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> simplew: https://one.ubuntu.com/downloads/windows/
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> brennan_: howdy
[14:00] <Bustacap> So after a fresh install of 12.10, how should I go about installing the latest nvidia drivers?
[14:00] <sporkboy> Mrokii, http://www.techlw.com/2012/03/install-nvidia-drivers-on-ubuntu-1204.html then go to jockey and try the.. uhm... post-something. the one right before experimental 304
[14:00] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, in that I do not have the application icon in the unity launcher but no apps listed
[14:00] <llutz> simplew: even if you don't answer questions https://one.ubuntu.com/downloads/windows/
[14:00] <Mrokii> sporkboy: I'll give it a try, thanks.
[14:01] <sporkboy> Mrokii, on a friend's, I was getting any gui with no bars.
[14:01] <sporkboy> tried like 15 things and that did it.
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: try:    sudo apt-get --reinstall install unity-lens-applications
[14:01] <usr13_> Bustacap: You should be presented with an option for it shortly.
[14:01] <Mrokii> sporkboy: Worth a try.
[14:01] <brennan_> ActionParsnip, hey i'm playing a game and the alt+s command will not work nothing with alt will
[14:01] <Bustacap> usr13, I haven't gotten anything so I decided to do apt-get install nvidia-current.
[14:02] <Bustacap> But when I open the nvidia config, it gives me this error "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> brennan_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141011/unity-customize-keys-f10-alts
[14:02] <Bustacap> When I do that, and reboot, my screen displays like crap.
[14:02] <Bustacap> And I still get the same nvidia error.
[14:03] <Bustacap> Lspci shows that my card is detected.
[14:03] <Zuhaitz> Hi, I updated my Ubuntu Linux 12.04 to 12.10, I have it configured in BASQUE/NAVARRE language, the problem is that now some parts are in the second language (incomplete), should I reinstall? may be is not translated in 12.10? or may I reinstall 12.10 from zero? Thanks for the atention.
[14:04] <usr13_> Bustacap: Or you can look for "Hardware Drivers" under "Administration"
[14:04] <iceroot> Zuhaitz: guess its not translated in 12.10
[14:04] <paolooo> hi @all, I just installed winehq and installed an application. How do I browse installed application? I'm using ubuntu 12.04
[14:04] <iceroot> Zuhaitz: because new features/text needs a translatation and as it seems its not done yet
[14:05] <Bustacap> usr13, I don't see that?
[14:05] <osse> It seems the output of the update-motd.d scripts are filtered. I only see the three first lines of my script. How can I configure this?
[14:05] <usr13_> Bustacap: Did you do  "sudo nvidia-xconfig"?
[14:05] <Zuhaitz> ice799, ok... is about the calendar, days, and things like that, so... sure? :$
[14:05] <Bustacap> Yeah, and that works but then gives me that same error when I reboot, and also I can't see anything when I reboot besides my wallpaper.
[14:05] <Mrokii> sporkboy: Won't work I guess. They don't provide a PPA for 12.10.
[14:06] <usr13_> Bustacap: Must be wrong screen-size.
[14:07] <usr13_> Bustacap: Did you look to see what screen-size it was using?  Or could you tell if you were seeing all of the background image or just a portion of it?
[14:08] <sporkboy> Mrokii, d'oh. yeah.. didn't think about that. I've taken to lts only in my old age.
[14:08] <Bustacap> I just found a lot of threads of people with the same problem so I'm going to try this fix: http://askubuntu.com/questions/202677/nvidia-driver-doesnt-work-in-12-10
[14:08] <brennan_> ActionParsnip, it didnt work anyother ideas
[14:08] <brennan_> ?
[14:08] <sporkboy> you know, because of nvidia issues every time I upgraded.
[14:09] <Mrokii> sporkboy: Thanks anyway.
[14:10] <Mrokii> These nVidia issues are a pita.
[14:10] <brennan_> ActionParsnip, the alt has a whole bunch of options that i dont want to investigate
[14:10] <sporkboy> Mrokii, you might check nvidia's website for newer ones or risk trying the 12.04 package (I know it's anti-recommended, but I've done it before)
[14:11] <john_doe_jr> I'm running through a script on a server but the script failsвҖҰ.it writes all kinds of info to the info to the terminal & I'd like to know what but I can't scroll up to see..any ideas how I can solve this problem?
[14:11] <yossarianuk> one of ubuntu's worst features is not having nvidia as a rolling release package
[14:11] <Mrokii> sporkboy: I already tried 310.x, that's the latest from x-swat, which I guess is kind of similar to xedgers.
[14:11] <yossarianuk> it should be - if you buy a card in 1 year it won;t be supported by the driver in 12.04 (supported for 5 yrs)
[14:11] <yossarianuk> thats silly
[14:12] <DrPoO> Hi all, I started my upgrade from 12.04 LTS (im using unity as a desktop) to 12.10 this morning, and half way through the  upgrade the window decorations dissapeared and my alt+tab combo does not work so I have no idea if the upgrade is done.... what do I do?! please help
[14:12] <yossarianuk> and all the times there are bugfixes - i.e by sticking with the default nvidia driver you getting less features and less stability - all in the name of 'stabilty'
[14:13] <DrPoO> Using alt+ctrl+f1 I can reach a working terminal
[14:13] <Simon1245> Could someone please tell me how I can make so at the grub loading part that Windows starts up at the start of it and not Linux?
[14:13] <sporkboy> DrPoO, I'd go to a terminal and keep an eye on dmesg. might give you some insight.
[14:14] <llutz> Simon1245: i told you
[14:15] <DrPoO> sporkboy, any ideas of what to look for?
[14:15] <DrPoO> sporkboy, what is the process called (the upgrading program)
[14:15] <usr13_> DrPoO: ps aux |grep apt
[14:15] <Simon1245> llutz, That doesn't work
[14:15] <Simon1245> llutz, I mean there's no gui thing like where you can change it
[14:16] <llutz> Simon1245: sure it works, why do you want a gui for a one-line change?
[14:16] <Xiol> DrPoO: you could start 'top' and take a look to see what processes are running. if all it idle then it should be complete (should be!)
[14:16] <Simon1245> llutz, It's easier and less chance to mess it up totaly, I guess.
[14:16] <usr13_> DrPoO: or htop
[14:16] <gaetano_> #ubuntustudio
[14:17] <DrPoO> usr13_, when running ps -e |grep apt I only see aptd... but I think that this program is always running
[14:17] <usr13_> DrPoO: How did you run the upgrade?  From a terminal?
[14:17] <usr13_> DrPoO: htop
[14:17] <DrPoO> Xiol, running top shows me dpkg working hard still....
[14:17] <Simon1245> llutz, Could you tell me how I change it with this the terminal?
[14:17] <llutz> Simon1245: GUI = more code = more chance for issues   but do whatever you like. i told you how to get it working, just copy/paste it into terminal
[14:18] <DrPoO> usr13_, i ran the upgrade using the gui
[14:18] <Zuhaitz> is posible to do an upgrade?
[14:18] <Zuhaitz> downgrade
[14:18] <usr13_> DrPoO: Ok, it's still working on the upgrade process.  How long has it been?
[14:18] <Simon1245> Oh
[14:18] <sary> Salutaion!
[14:18] <Simon1245> After that I don't have to do anything and it'll load Windows as default?
[14:18] <llutz> Simon1245: correct
[14:18] <usr13_> Zuhaitz: Downgrade = re-install
[14:19] <DrPoO> usr13_, I finished downloading everything 15/20 mins ago, it was on the installing step when the problem arose
[14:19] <Simon1245> llutz, Oh alright thanks! :)
[14:19] <usr13_> DrPoO: Ok, give it some time.
[14:19] <Zuhaitz> usr13, :(
[14:19]  * Zuhaitz whyyyy
[14:19] <Zuhaitz> xD
[14:19] <DrPoO> usr13_, i figured .... so wait for dpkg to finish???
[14:20] <sary> My friend is trying to install ubuntu side by side with Windows XP , after the installation is done , He got an error: system error rescue http://paste.ubuntu.com/1307036/ .. what should i tell him o try next .
[14:20] <DrPoO> usr13_, I also see a process named "quantal"
[14:21] <usr13_> Zuhaitz: If you have /home/ on separate partition you can do fresh install with different version, tell it not to format /home's partition, use same user name, and it will be the same as if you did an upgrade.
[14:21] <sary> he was installing ubuntu 12.10 , now will try with ubuntu 12.04 , have check the iso with MD5sum . burned the the new iso to a USB media .
[14:22] <gggg> d
[14:23] <simplew> llutz: thanks
[14:23] <usr13_> Quantal is code name for 10.10
[14:23] <jorgp> is there a way to get the mx5500 keyboard and mouse w/ bluethooth dongal working with livecd 12.10?
[14:23] <Fernest> I've got a Galaxy S2, a Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop and two Ubuntu 12.04 Laptops. I wish to create some sort of cool, linux based home-network. (One (old) laptop is used as a media center, the desktop is for work/games and the second laptop is for mobile stuff). Is there a way to use the media-laptop as some sort of server, while the Smartphone is able to control the devices? (Contacts and stuff should be synced between all machines).
[14:23] <Fernest> Does one have an idea/link/tutorial/keyword how to start such a network?
[14:23] <usr13_> *12.10
[14:24] <sary> HE got this error as well , The boot files of [Ubuntu 12.10] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them.
[14:24] <DrPoO> usr13_, 12.10 is quantal quetzal i thought
[14:24] <usr13_> Fernest: You use gmail, right?
[14:24] <Fernest> (with control I mean stuff like: "Play next song on the media-laptop or launch some script on the work-station (like auto-upload or compile scripts)
[14:24] <Fernest> yeah
[14:25] <usr13_> Fernest: Contacts are already shared
[14:25] <Fernest> yes, but I wish to have more control
[14:25] <usr13_> Fernest: You add someones phone number from the PC and its' there on the phone
[14:26] <usr13_> Fernest: I use file-expert on the phone to transfer files <>
[14:26] <Fernest> I want more control. Maybe using SSH to control the machines with the Android. But maybe there are some graphical Linux solutiosn?
[14:26] <sary> Fernest: so , you're trying to setup a home Network share !
[14:26] <Fernest> more than sharing
[14:26] <LucidGuy> Can anyone explain to me my I can't sync my time with ntp.ubuntu.com   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1307278/    Thats the output from ntpdate -q
[14:26] <Fernest> something like Ubuntu_for_androids (which has yet to come).
[14:27] <Fernest> maybe SSH, maybe ftp, etc. etc.
[14:27] <sary> Will , get the sharing setup first , then see what's your options from there .
[14:27] <Fernest> so there is no all-in-one solution?
[14:27] <usr13_> LucidGuy: "no server suitable for synchronization found"
[14:28] <usr13_> LucidGuy: Try a different server
[14:28] <TheLordOfTime> LucidGuy, you may want to actually define a time server
[14:28] <TheLordOfTime> LucidGuy, like... ntpdate -q ntp.ubuntu.com
[14:28] <TheLordOfTime> i've had issues with it nor reading from its configs before
[14:28] <LucidGuy> TheLordOfTime, that output was from ntpdate -d ntp.ubuntu.com
[14:29] <Fernest> do you think it could be done with Ubuntu-Cloud (using all the machines as cloud devices)? Or is it not worth the trouble?
[14:30] <usr13_> LucidGuy: Try a different server
[14:30] <usr13_> LucidGuy: ntpdate pool.ntp.org
[14:30] <Michiellllaptop> since i updated to 12.04 i keep getting Internal Error messages about 'unity-music-daemon' package: unity-lens-music
[14:31] <Michiellllaptop> anyone know about this?
[14:31] <Bustacap> Was empathy always the chat client preinstalled? I feel like it is working different right now than what I'm used to?
[14:31] <usr13_> LucidGuy: Or just drop the -d
[14:32] <sary> Fernest: Do you wanna Setup Up something like AndroMouse For Android In Ubuntu !
[14:32] <usr13_> LucidGuy: Actually it shouldn't matter....
[14:32] <LucidGuy> usr13_ the -d is just for debug вҖҰ dropping it makes no difference.
[14:32] <LucidGuy> usr13_, and still unable to sync with the server you specified.
[14:32] <usr13_> LucidGuy: Must be a network issue
[14:33] <usr13_> LucidGuy: Looks like port 123  ?
[14:35] <LucidGuy> usr13_, You think my port 123 is blocked going out?
[14:35] <ironhalik> Hello - anyone here using Galaxy Nexus with Ubuntu and transfers files with MTP?
[14:36] <TheLordOfTime> LucidGuy, did you try a different NTP server?
[14:36] <TheLordOfTime> LucidGuy, just in case.
[14:36] <usr13_> LucidGuy: I don't know, but tested from mine and works ok.  That's all I can think of is that you have a network issue.
[14:36] <LucidGuy> TheLordOfTime, tried a few
[14:36] <usr13_> TheLordOfTime: Yes, he tried a different server
[14:36] <TheLordOfTime> LucidGuy, then it is likely a networking issue, either the ISP's blocking traffic or otherwise
[14:36] <TheLordOfTime> usr13_, he just said that dude :/.
[14:37] <LucidGuy> Odd, doesn't matter what server I try I get ..  stratum 0, offset 0.000000, delay 0.00000   .. you would think some values would be in there
[14:37] <usr13_> LucidGuy: ping -c3 ntp.ubuntu.com
[14:38] <LucidGuy> usr13_, responds fine
[14:39] <usr13_> LucidGuy: sudo iptables -L
[14:39] <usr13_> LucidGuy: sudo iptables -L |pastebinit
[14:40] <LucidGuy> Not iptables. . getting similar results from another host..
[14:41] <chris_123> hi, i have an encrypted linux root partition on my current ssd and want to move it to a bigger one. clonezilla failed. how can i get this done?
[14:41] <compdoc> thats why I dont mess with encryption
[14:41] <compdoc> so many issues
[14:42] <sary> any hint on what maybe wrong here! http://paste.ubuntu.com/1307036/
[14:42] <robotfuel> chris_123: you could use dd to copy the encrypted partion to another drive, your root partition would be the same size.
[14:42] <chris_123> compdoc, thanks for your empathy. any word of advice?
[14:43] <chris_123> robotfuel, and is there away to enlarge  it once it is on the bigger disk?
[14:43] <usr13_> LucidGuy: Maybe your router has a time server running?
[14:44] <usr13_> LucidGuy: ... and you can use it?
[14:45] <LucidGuy> I'm at work ..
[14:46] <robotfuel> chris_123: usually there is a way to do that, but it's different for every setup. Google should help you find out how.
[14:47] <chris_123> would it be a good idea, to create a new luks partition on the target disk and copy everything there with rsync -a in the new place and just reinstall grub from a changeroot? do you see any problem with this approach or advice otherwise?
[14:48] <LucidGuy> How else can I test port issues .. telnet to port 123?
[14:49] <robotfuel> chris_123: that would work.  it should be faster than resizing the partition.
[14:50] <chris_123> ok, i'll try that
[14:51] <biri> hi
[14:51] <Bustacap> Anyone know why when my sidebar is on auto-hide, moving my mouse to the left doesn't bring up the bar -_-
[14:51] <Taint> is there somewhere I can go to read/download the very basics of starting with ubuntu?
[14:51] <bazhang> !manual | Taint
[14:51] <bazhang> !rute | Taint
[14:52] <Taint> I mean even before that... like getting all drivers and stuff.... even the screen is messed up
[14:52] <biri> hrlp
[14:52] <biri> list
[14:52] <usr13_> sary: What is /dev/sda5  for?
[14:52] <bazhang> Taint, check the ubuntu manual to start
[14:52] <Taint> k thanks bazhang
[14:54] <Fernest> which program do you use to transfer files between Android + Ubuntu?
[14:54] <magic_al> i ve just installed ubuntu 12.10 on a brand new lenovo thinkpad. my card reader dosnt work out. what can i do?
[14:55] <MonkeyDust> Fernest  there's something new called AirDroid
[14:55] <crem> Does it work in? Just out of curiosity.
[14:55] <sary> usr13_: i don't know , it's from a friend laptop! what you think it could be there for? I mean. is it removeable !
[14:55] <Fernest> MonkeyDust: Thanks!
[14:55] <plat> Hi,is there any xubuntu channel?
[14:55] <bazhang> plat, #xubuntu
[14:55] <usr13_> sary: It says: "Boot successfully repaired.
[14:56] <usr13_> sary: So.....?
[14:56] <sary> usr13_: he didn't mentioned it for me while setting up his partition table!
[14:56] <usr13_> sary: Is it booting ok?
[14:56] <sary> usr13_: Right , but didn't boot after!
[14:57] <usr13_> sary: What error does it give?
[14:57] <shaneo> hi guys im running 12.10 and use pidgin as a messenger but it will not add itself to the messaging menu...how can i fix this?
[14:58] <sary> usr13_: after the installation , it gave this error as first " error system error grub rescue " on the next one he got "The boot files of [Ubuntu 12.10] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them."
[14:59] <sary> usr13_: i meant , on the first boot .
[15:00] <fluitfries> anyone using Thunderbird for the chat features?  i'm skeptical
[15:00] <sary> usr13_: but really good noticing on your part , i may need to check more abou his /dev/sda5 partition.
[15:01] <usr13_> sary: So now it gives error:  "The boot files of [Ubuntu12.10] are far from the start of the disk."?
[15:02] <sary> usr13_: that's what he said , yes. i think he said this after looking at the boot-repair output! am not quit sure.
[15:02] <usr13_> sary: sda5 is probably not relevant to why it won't boot, just wondering why he created it, because looks like he created it at the same time as he did the Ubuntu install and I'm not sure why he'd do it.
[15:04] <greengeek_> hallo?
[15:04] <physically_fit> what's the name of this torrent/magnet client? it was very good but i forgot its name. Something like "Xtivi", its icon it's green with blue and red i think.
[15:04] <physically_fit> Xviti?
[15:04] <physically_fit> someone here recommended it to me
[15:05] <lesshaste> how do you save the printing options in acroread?  They revert to the default every time I restart it.
[15:05] <sary> he is off line at the moment , switching back and forth between his working pc and the broken laptop with the Ethernet cables , because he doesn't have a Wi-Fi Network.
[15:05] <usr13_> sary: Does it boot MS Windows?
[15:05] <greengeek_> do you speak hungary?
[15:05] <DJones> !hu | greengeek_
 kГ¶szГ¶nГ¶m
[15:06] <sary> usr13_: no it doesn't , he mentioned later on that got an error message and was unable to boot to his Windows Xp , due to some Avg2013 error somehing to do with that.
[15:07] <guang_> e
[15:07] <usr13_> sary: DOes it boot Ubuntu?
[15:07] <sary> usr13_: No, none of the OS's.
[15:08] <usr13_> sary: Never did?
[15:09] <sary> usr13_: not once.
[15:09] <toscho> hi, I have a problem with my samsung scx-4728fd mfp. when trying to detect it as a scanner either xsane or samsung unified driver configurator crash with memory error
[15:10] <usr13_> sary: All I know is that it says, "The boot files of [Ubuntu 12.10] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them. You may want to retry after creating a /boot partition (EXT4, >200MB, start of the disk). This can be performed via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [Separate /boot partition:] option of [Boot Repair]. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition)"
[15:10] <bazhang> toscho, what about simplescan
[15:10] <blackness> welp, i found a issue with 12.10. its leaking for random lengths at random times.
[15:10] <samir82show> hello

[15:11] <gaetano_> #ubuntustudio
[15:11] <researcher123> How to remove s7.addthis.com?  It takes infinite to open some pages
[15:11] <gordonjcp> researcher123: adblock
[15:11] <usr13_> sary: I don't know what he has done but sounds like he somehow changed partition size without moving the data to the beginning of the partition. (Just going from what that error message says.)
[15:12] <sary> usr13_: this time , i suggested to him to burn a new iso of 12.04 to his usb media using Unetbootin , he was on his way to boot the live-cd from his laptop on the other room , since then he went off-line.
[15:12] <blackness> researcher123, set '<IP_ADDRESS> s7.addthis.com' to /etc/hosts and it'll cancel out ;)
[15:12] <researcher123> gordonjcp: where do I type this command?
[15:12] <gordonjcp> researcher123: it's a firefox addon
[15:12] <Lorra> researcher123, the configuration page of my router allows to set some domain names you want to aoid to contact
[15:12] <Lorra> researcher123, yeah, use that add-on
[15:12] <Lorra> researcher123, it works great
[15:12] <usr13_> sary: I too, am a LTS fan.
[15:13] <sary> usr13_: Yeah , looks like it!
[15:13] <samir82show> okk, I need to write/modify a usb device driver for usb device which is I don't  know according to what I have to modify the source code
[15:13] <sary> usr13_: Yeah , tell me about it .. :-)
[15:13] <blackness> usb-creator-gtk/kde would be better if he has access to a working machine
[15:14] <usr13_> sary: When asked what kind of computer I like best, I reply, "One that works."  OS's are same.
[15:14] <sary> usr13_: he is actually smart , he startd to aske about the differences between both versions , and so answered and explained the meaning of LTS as well.
[15:15] <sary> usr13_: :-)
[15:18] <sary> usr13_: i fond it funny when people get's all hyped up about the none-LTS new release , then the next 3-4 weeks they start complaining about some " edgy stuff " Thaha :;-D Like Really kids!
[15:18] <usr13_> sary: See my PM
[15:18] <toscho> bazhang: it's the same with simple-scan
[15:19] <martino1> Hi. I'm using Lubuntu , and in lxpanel I installed the "indicator-messages" to have messaging controls always in the panel..... BUT it seems not to work with pidgin .. icons remains inactive (grey)
[15:19] <samir82show> anybody knows about usb device driver
[15:19] <samir82show> ?
[15:19] <martino1> What can I do?
[15:19] <bazhang> samir82show, how is this ubuntu support related
[15:20] <samir82show> what kind of supports you mean?
[15:20] <graciano> hi
[15:20] <graciano> im from brazil
[15:20] <bazhang> samir82show, ubuntu support. how is your device driver question related to Ubuntu support
[15:20] <samir82show> I suppose support means fixing systems issues
[15:20] <bazhang> !br | graciano
[15:20] <fluitfries> samir82show, just ask your question, state your problem first.
[15:21] <bazhang> samir82show, that sounds like hardware
[15:21] <samir82show> its programming more
[15:22] <bazhang> try ##programming samir82show
[15:22] <samir82show> coding a module in c
[15:22] <samir82show> but its linux programming
[15:22] <martino1> Hi. I'm using Lubuntu ... I installed the "indicator-messages" and "indicator-messages-gtk2" to have messaging controls always in view on the panel..... BUT it seems not to work with pidgin .. the icon remains inactive (grey)
[15:22] <martino1> What can I do??? :(
[15:22] <bazhang> samir82show, and this is Ubuntu OS support. thats just generic coding
[15:23] <samir82show> then where I have to go?
[15:23] <bazhang> ##programming
[15:23] <fluitfries> martino1, have you checked that the software is compatible with lxpanel?
[15:23] <samir82show> for linux kernel and device drivers
[15:23] <bazhang> samir82show, I just told you
[15:23] <samir82show> thanks
[15:24] <martino1> fluitfries: of course, lxpanel has its "indicator-applet" which  *IS* made exclusively for it
[15:24] <mamad> jjkl
[15:24] <fluitfries> martino1, i also run lubuntu, but i've not really done anything to lxpanel.  sorry.
[15:24] <martino1> I think the problem is pidgin mis-integration .... this problem was also in some version of gnome2
[15:25] <fluitfries> martino1, ah, so maybe the issue is already a reported bug?
[15:25] <martino1> but ... idk
[15:26] <shaneo> can someone assist me with pidgin not showing up in messaging menu please
[15:27] <shaneo> 12.10
[15:27] <martino1> shaneo: you too
[15:27] <martino1> :(
[15:27] <shaneo> yeah martino1 it's annoying
[15:27] <martino1> I'm with lubuntu and have the same problem
[15:27] <martino1> yes it is
[15:28] <shaneo> i was thinking maybe editing indicator menus in dconf might do it but idk
[15:28] <fluitfries> you guys are trying to add more indicators than the default pidgin one?
[15:28] <martino1> idk too
[15:28] <martino1> fluitfries: it's not about pidgin's tray icon
[15:28] <fluitfries> ah k
[15:28] <martino1> it's the general messaging indicator
[15:29] <shaneo> no fluitfries *messaging menu indicator
[15:29] <fluitfries> i can try it on my system right now if you tell me how, but it sounds broken.
[15:29] <fluitfries> lubuntu 12 here
[15:29] <martino1> me too
[15:29] <toscho> hi, I have a problem with my samsung scx-4728fd mfp. when trying to detect it as a scanner either xsane, simple-scan or samsung unified driver configurator crash with memory error
[15:29] <shaneo> sudo apt-get install pidgin
[15:29] <martino1> fluitfries: if you want to check
[15:29] <martino1> sudo apt-get install indicator-message*
[15:29] <fluitfries> i've got pidgin set up already
[15:29] <fluitfries> kk
[15:29] <martino1> then add "indicator applet" to lxpanel and enable messaging
[15:30] <shaneo> hmm martino1 never thought about that
[15:30] <shaneo> you ran that and it still doesn't work?
[15:32] <martino1> shaneo: it is loaded
[15:32] <martino1> but not in communication with pidgin
[15:32] <fluitfries> ok, i checked off the messaging box, and it just says "no indicators"
[15:32] <shaneo> hmm
[15:32] <shaneo> testing something now ill let you know if it works martino1
[15:33] <martino1> fluitfries: you have to install the package I told  you before
[15:33] <fluitfries> martino1, yea, i did.
[15:33] <shaneo> martino1, got it
[15:33] <martino1> well then you have to restart lightdm fluitfries to apply the modifies
[15:34] <martino1> ohhh no, install this too ----> sudo apt-get install lxpanel-indicator-applet-plugin
[15:34] <shaneo> :) but doesnt close to indicator but it's there
[15:34] <shaneo> *close to messaging menu
[15:34] <fluitfries> martino1, installed.  now what, log out and back in?
[15:35] <martino1> fluitfries: ye .. sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm restart
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> martino1: do other apps have issues with the indicator?
[15:36] <martino1> hmmm I try now
[15:36] <martino1> which apps should be compatible?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> martino1: that will either isolate the issue to the indicator, or pidgin
[15:37] <Chamunks> would it be a bad thing to run sudo apt-get purge apport?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> martino1: transmission uses that
[15:38] <martino1> ActionParsnip: hmm I don't think so .. It would isolate the issue to the indicator's  pidgin module , or pidgin
[15:38] <martino1> ;)
[15:38] <lmat> Is there a command that I can use to monitor the file system?
[15:38] <martino1> I try
[15:38] <lmat> I see inotify, but it's an API. I'd rather not write a program if possible.
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> martino1: it still shifts the issue from the indicator, is my point
[15:38] <Scunizi> after doing a <xsetwacom set "Wacom bla bla" Touch on>  I no longer have clicking ability with my mouse or tablet pen.. so I did the same thing but said "off" at the end.  That didn't work. How do I fix my mouse to allow me to click?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> lmat: could use conky
[15:39] <fluitfries> martino1, lol, that halted my session.  but i rebooted and i see the menu now.
[15:39] <martino1> nope, it could still be indicator's issue
[15:39] <lmat> ActionParsnip: So ubuntu doesn't come with anything like this?
[15:39] <martino1> fluitfries: how do you see it?
[15:39] <fluitfries> a small envelope, if i click it i get status options n stuff
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> lmat: there is disk manager or something like that, just because its not default doesn't mean anything
[15:39] <ardchoille> lmat: gkrellm is another monitoring app, and it has a skinnable ui
[15:39] <martino1> fluitfries: can you switch from "available to afk  for example?
[15:40] <lmat> ardchoille: Thanks.
[15:40] <fluitfries> martino1, however it is not functioning.  it will launch pidgin but not change status
[15:40] <ardchoille> yw
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> lmat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Baobab
[15:40] <martino1> fluitfries: it is a bug so
[15:40] <martino1> fluitfries: you wanna try a possible solution?
[15:40] <martino1> It's about installing newest p
[15:40] <martino1> *pidgin
[15:40] <martino1> from pidgin's repos
[15:41] <FireAndIce> Hi everyone!!
[15:41] <jitaochu> hello
[15:41] <lmat> ActionParsnip: Thanks.
[15:41] <FireAndIce> How do I resize columns using keyboard shortcuts in ubuntu?
[15:41] <lmat> I'm looking for a tool that monitors a particular file and takes some action when the file is deleted.
[15:41] <FireAndIce> Like the one on this link.. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/28734/how-to-resize-all-window-columns-with-a-single-keystroke/
[15:41] <fluitfries> martino1, sure.
[15:41] <martino1> :)
[15:41] <Scunizi> any wacom users out there?  I just foobar'd my ability to click with my mouse by using xsetwacom Touch on then off.. any solutions?
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> lmat: conky will update more regularly and give a display of disk usage
[15:42] <martino1> fluitfries: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pidgin
[15:43] <[TiZ]> How do you do a minimal install of 12.10? The alternate CD no longer exists, and there isn't a minimal install mode on the desktop CD.
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> !mini | [TiZ]
[15:43] <lmat> [TiZ]: install arch linux and add what you want? ;)
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: you use the mini ISO to do a mini install, not the alternate
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: the ubuntu community is larger than the arch one :)
[15:43] <[TiZ]> lmat: I actually migrated FROM Arch because stuff breaks so much.
[15:44] <llutz> lmat: look ar "inotify"
[15:44] <llutz> at*
[15:44] <ardchoille> Wowsers, it's only 28mb
[15:44] <[TiZ]> I did Ubuntu to Arch, had a buncha fun, stuff started breaking, came back to Ubuntu.
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> 34mb for an installer is sweeeeet
[15:44] <Bombo> how can i tell the NetworkManager not to disable the eth0 device on sleep mode? (for wakeonlan)
[15:44] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip: Thank you!
[15:44] <fluitfries> martino1, ok, done
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: remember to MD5 test ;)
[15:44] <lmat> llutz: Thanks. That being an API isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I was hoping to not have to write a program.
[15:45] <Jimster480-L> hwos life for everyone here
[15:45] <Jimster480-L> hows*
[15:45] <ardchoille> ActionParsnip: can you imagine how fast the md5sum command will be on a mini installer? lol
[15:45] <martino1> fluitfries: can you please paste the output? or just check your own whether pidgin has been updated from new repos or not
[15:45] <[TiZ]> It took like a second, lol. Download's all good.
[15:45] <paolooo> hi @all, is there any video to ipad3 converter in ubuntu?
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> ardchoille: hehe, and bit errors affect a larger percent too

[15:46] <ActionParsnip> paolooo: what video types do you have to convert?
[15:46] <fluitfries> martino1, let me reboot one more time.
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> paolooo: and what files will your ipad thing play?
[15:46] <martino1> ok

[15:50] <lmat> [TiZ]: heh...arch is a bit rocky
[15:50] <martino1> ActionParsnip: have you read?
[15:50] <lmat> [TiZ]: I used it for a while earlier, then changed jobs (and computers). So when I went to set up the new computer, I went to ubuntu.
[15:50] <martino1> it's not pidgin's fault
[15:51] <martino1> it's indicator's pidgin-integration source part
[15:51] <lmat> [TiZ]: Although, i've    service lightdm stop   and disabled it, and I just sit on tty1 the whole time, so it's really not much different.
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> martino1: read what?
[15:51] <fluitfries> martino1, ok, i'm gonna uninstall the indicator stuff now. :)
[15:51] <martino1> ActionParsnip: we installed the new version from pidgin's repos
[15:51] <lmat> [TiZ]: The configuration is way more complex (because Arch's was only what I need), and there are a good deal more tools just sitting around...and apt-get...
[15:51] <martino1> nothing changed
[15:51] <roylaprattep> someone know about mod_auth_mysql ?
[15:51] <pestilence> i used to have keyboard shortcuts that made a window take up half the screen on the left, half the screen on the right, and maximize/unmaximize.  Any ideas on how to get that back?
[15:52] <martino1> fluitfries: thank you veeery much
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> martino1: ok then report the bug is affecting Precise too
[15:52] <roylaprattep> do I need it with phpmyadmin ?
[15:52] <fluitfries> martino1, glad to help
[15:52] <lmat> ActionParsnip: https://github.com/rvoicilas/inotify-tools/wiki
[15:52] <martino1> ufff what a shame
[15:52] <[TiZ]> lmat: I had fun configuring Arch. It's just that ubdates would break stuff, and you'd have to bend over backwards to get certain packages to work.
[15:52] <lmat> ActionParsnip: If anyone asks this question again, I suspect this is the right place to dg.
[15:52] <lmat> s/dg/go/
[15:52] <lmat> [TiZ]: yup.
[15:52] <[TiZ]> lmat: For example, getting networkmanager to play well with openconnect? Good luck. That's actually the straw that broke my back; I needed that to work for my job.
[15:53] <[TiZ]> lmat: So I switched to a minimal ubuntu install that I built up Arch-style. I drop in a package, and it just works.
[15:53] <lmat> [TiZ]: ahh, yup. I only IRC, and try out this and that. It's a virtual machine, so I didn't care if it breaks.
[15:53] <martino1> I don't even know how to report a bug in the right way
[15:53] <lmat> [TiZ]: I should have gone minimal...I think I'll make a new machine!
[15:53] <ardchoille> !bugs
[15:53] <ardchoille> martino1: ^^
[15:53] <[TiZ]> lmat: minimal is great. I've done it on my laptop and my work box. built up an Xfce just the way I want.
[15:53] <martino1> I don't even have a launchpad accout
[15:53] <lmat> "The programs are written in C and have no dependencies other than a Linux kernel supporting inotify." That's what I like to hear!
[15:54] <lmat> [TiZ]: You dual boot?
[15:54] <ardchoille> martino1: you should make a launchpad account, very handy
[15:54] <fluitfries> martino1, when you report the bug, let me know the link by PM and i will click the +1 button on it, too.
[15:54] <fluitfries> bbl
[15:55] <[TiZ]> lmat: Nope. Only Linux.
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: could have used wicd
[15:55] <lmat> [TiZ]: Must be nice!
[15:55] <[TiZ]> lmat: However, I do have a windows VM that I keep running on one of my monitors at all times.
[15:55] <lmat> [TiZ]: I'm trying to get there...we use Lync, can that be done on Linux?
[15:55] <nicofs> I can't move my mouse over to my second display after upgrading to 12.10... how can I get that working again? (nVidia, seperate x screen)
[15:56] <lmat> [TiZ]: ah.
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: network manager isn't the only network manager app available you know......
[15:56] <lmat> "After this operation, 201 kB of additional disk space will be used." YES! I love this package!
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> lmat: wooo
[15:56] <lmat> ActionParsnip: :0
[15:56] <lmat> doh   ActionParsnip: :)
[15:56] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip: I'm aware of that, and I used to use wicd. But since when did wicd do more than just connect to a network?
[15:56] <pestilence> nicofs: remind me why you need separate x servers again?
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> lmat: mind you I like that stuff tbh
[15:57] <[TiZ]> lmat: Lync? I'm not sure what that is.
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: putting in tonnes of effort in to get network manager working when wicd is available is a little silly imo
[15:57] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip: NetworkManager works perfectly fine. No effort at all.
[15:58] <lmat> [TiZ]: It's a Microsoft telephone (PBX replacement) solution.
[15:58] <lmat> [TiZ]: It's integrated with Outlook...
[15:58] <nicofs> pestilence, because of running applications in full-screen-mode simultaneously. and because i want it that way (that alone should be enough).
[15:58] <lmat> [TiZ]: Does a Windows VM cost money?
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: thought you said you had some issue getting it working though.
[15:58] <[TiZ]> ActionParsnip: The problem is adding OpenConnect VPN onto it. Doesn't work at all on Arch. Works out of the box on Ubuntu.
[15:58] <lmat> [TiZ]: (license?)
[15:58] <pestilence> nicofs: ah, ok.
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> [TiZ]: ah, not used VPN, never had a need for it
[15:58] <D[4]ni> how can i remove webclips? D:
[15:58] <pestilence> nicofs: did you try having nvidia-settings write a new xorg.conf?
[15:59] <[TiZ]> lmat: I just use VirtualBox to run it; the school I work for has an enterprise license for it.
[15:59] <lmat> [TiZ]: license for what, Windows?
[15:59] <nicofs> pestilence, several times...
[15:59] <lmat> [TiZ]: So you install like you would any other machine? (and it requires a license)
[15:59] <riqdiiz> hello how do i get grub appear after installing multiple os's?
[15:59] <Necrosporus> riqdiiz, have you installed it?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> riqdiiz: if you hold SHIFT at boot, does it show?
[16:00] <nicofs> pestilence, the screen is on - it looks the way it should, all is there and properly set up - i just can't get any input device to focus it...
[16:00] <Necrosporus> Edit /etc/default/grub and modify delay variable
[16:00] <pestilence> nicofs: that is really weird.  you said the mouse moves periodically instead of moving to the second monitor?
[16:00] <riqdiiz> i installed it  as i was installing  DSL ..
[16:01] <D[4]ni> i accidentally added a web clip for facebook. how do i remove it again?
[16:02] <nicofs> pestilence, yes, so to speak. i can't move it over the left edge (which is ok. nothing there) and when i move it over the right, it reappears left but should move over to the next screen...
[16:02] <riqdiiz> it looks like  windows bootloader takes over as it starts to boot..:-)
[16:02] <hc96> hi guys! I have a problem with virtualbox and 2 virtual network cards. I run ubuntu server 12.04. I can ping from the host to the guest via 192.168.56.{1,200}, the guest can ping to the ip of google.com, but DNS does not work. What should I do? I think it has to do sth. with /etc/resolv.conf
[16:02] <pestilence> hc96: what is the guest OS?
[16:03] <hc96> pestilence: its ubuntu server 12.04, the host is xubuntu 12.10
[16:03] <kenneth__> I've been looking everywhere
[16:03] <pestilence> hc96: what is the contents of resolv.conf
[16:03] <kenneth__> anyone know where to find crowbar guys
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> riqdiiz: did you install Ubuntu using Wubi?
[16:04] <hc96> pestilence: nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> \n search fritz.box
[16:04] <hc96> pestilence: and it states the contents will be overwritten by resolvconf(8)
[16:05] <pestilence> hc96: hrmm. where'd it get that.  ubuntu desktop uses dnsmasq...does ubuntu server not do that?
[16:05] <riqdiiz> I installed it as stand alone.
[16:05] <hc96> pestilence: <IP_ADDRESS> is the host IP of my VirtualBox network
[16:05] <pestilence> hc96: is it running a dns server?
[16:05] <riqdiiz> no through the windows gui.
[16:06]  * pestilence looks for the atm machine
[16:06] <[TiZ]> lmat: Yeah. Stick a CD into the host computer, the virtual machine will install Windows from it.
[16:07] <lmat> [TiZ]: ok
[16:07] <riqdiiz> :'(what am I gonna do?
[16:07] <bazhang> riqdiiz, a wubi install?
[16:08] <hc96> pestilence: actually it should since other guests OS have DNS
[16:10] <martino1> I can't believe this
[16:10] <pestilence> hc96: dunno.  no guarantee that the other OS's are using the host for DNS.
[16:11] <pestilence> hc96: for example, I could install a nameserver inside an ubuntu guest and have it provide its own DNS.
[16:11] <martino1> fluitfries, shaneo: I solved it
[16:11] <Guillem_> Can i find the cpu freq at /proc? I think I saw it once and I cannot find it anymore...
[16:11] <pestilence> hc96: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> from inside the guest?
[16:11] <hc96> pestilence: yes I can
[16:11] <pestilence> Guillem_: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[16:12] <llutz> Guillem_: grep MHz /proc/cpuinfo
[16:12] <Bustacap> How do I properly change a cusor theme so it changes all cursors?
[16:12] <beandog> Guillem_: cpufreq-info is gonna give you more details
[16:12] <martino1> I simply installed pidgin-libnotify
[16:12] <riqdiiz> I have Two Os's on my pc ;ubuntu and windows co-existing  and I use grab to boot into both  but I just installed a third  small damn Linux  into the third  partition and everything went like done!But The DSL isnt showing up among the  grub choices ?
[16:12] <pestilence> hc96: how about dig @<IP_ADDRESS> www.google.com
[16:12] <martino1> !info pidgin-libnotify
[16:13] <beandog> Guillem_: apt-get install cpufrequtils; cpufreq-info
[16:13] <martino1> The icon still doesn't change color, but at least works :D
[16:13] <beandog> Guillem_: can change the governer there as well
[16:14] <D[4]ni> in startup programs, i added a script that mounts three partitions (a few months ago)
[16:14] <bazhang> riqdiiz, so update-grub ?
[16:14] <hc96> pestilence: connection timed out, no servers could be reached
[16:14] <D[4]ni> since 12.10 all those partitions open in nautilus on startup. never happened on 12.04
[16:14] <bazhang> !grub2 | riqdiiz have a read
[16:14] <D[4]ni> (how) can i prevent that?
[16:15] <pestilence> hc96: what other guests do you have?  see if that works in any of those.
[16:15] <DJones> t
[16:16] <D[4]ni> btw, mounting via udisks
[16:17] <Guillem_> pestilence, llutz beandog, thanks
[16:17] <JPeterson> why does "sudo service lightdm stop" return "unknown instance"? "sudo service --status-all 2>&1|grep lightdm" return " [ ? ]  lightdm"
[16:18] <Guillem_> beandog, I'm changing the governor with cpufreq-selector and I see that this tool is at another package. I've installed and now I have cpufreq-set; are both equivalent?
[16:18] <beandog> Guillem_: dunno, but most likely.  there's only one governer, so yah, should be fine. :)
[16:18] <hc96> pestilence: I got another linux, there the resol.conf contains nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> \n search fritz.box
[16:19] <hc96> pestilence: however, dig @<IP_ADDRESS> www.google.com also does not work
[16:20] <riqdiiz> tThanks got it
[16:20] <beandog> hc96: I hope you mean resolv.conf
[16:20] <hc96> beandog: sure...
[16:20] <fluitfries> martino1, ok that's good.  do you think i should downgrade my pidgin back to stable?
[16:20] <beandog> hc96: put nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> in there and remove the other one
[16:20] <JPeterson> please explain these messages. "sudo service lightdm stop" return "unknown instance"? "sudo service --status-all 2>&1|grep lightdm" return " [ ? ]  lightdm"[ http://i.imgur.com/xHed6.jpg ].
[16:21] <Taint> I'm trying to install my drivers. I tried using the additional drivers software and it says no proprietary drivers are in use
[16:22] <Guillem_> beandog, I'm experiencing overheating problems with my laptop. The thing shuts-off under heavy loading (computation). I miminize this changing the governor to powersafe, thus the CPUs use the minimum MHz possible. Question is if I could change that freq to a higher value but not the higest.
[16:22] <martino1> fluitfries: uhm I wouldn't call it "unstable" it's totally stable :)
[16:23] <beandog> Guillem_: cpufreq-info will tell you what speeds it can run at
[16:23] <martino1> it's just not from ubuntu's repo
[16:23] <beandog> Guillem_: anyway, yah, you can set max clock speeds
[16:23] <Taint> how do I get drivers for my gfx cards and all hardware?
[16:23] <fluitfries> martino1, ok
[16:23] <martino1> fluitfries: anyway, if you want to, you can simply use ppapurge to do the job
[16:23] <JPeterson> is the qusetion "how to close x" hard to answer?
[16:24] <martino1> JPeterson: haha no it is not
[16:24] <hc96> beandog: why does that work? seems more generic and not quite safe, is it?
[16:25] <martino1> you wanna know how or just its difficulty? :)
[16:25] <beandog> hc96: you're just setting the manually.  nothing unsafe about that.
[16:25] <beandog> *them
[16:25] <JPeterson> martin the following question is. why is a non-hard and important question not answered?
[16:25] <D[4]ni> mh. it's starting to happen more often that i can only move my mouse, clicking and trying to use the keyboard does nothing. is there a better way out of this than REISUB?
[16:25] <martino1> JPeterson: uhm I didn't read
[16:25] <martino1> JPeterson: there obviously are many ways
[16:25] <D[4]ni> ctrl+alt+f[1-79 don't work as well
[16:25] <JPeterson> obviously
[16:26] <D[4]ni> ctrl+alt+f[1-7] don't work as well *
[16:26] <martino1> I can tell you a trick to set "ctrl alt backspace" as the "X closer" keybind
[16:26] <ardchoille> wowsers, 79 function keys.
[16:26] <Guillem_> beandog, oh! yeah! man cpufreq-set shows me that. I can say that cpufreq-set is much more complete than cpufrec-selector!
[16:26] <JPeterson> what is drawing x in this picture where "sudo service --status-all 2>&1|grep lightdm" return " [ ? ]  lightdm"[ http://i.imgur.com/xHed6.jpg ]?
[16:26] <martino1> JPeterson: or just kill X process by early findind its pid
[16:27] <beandog> Guillem_: yah, you have lots of options ... pretty nice, really
[16:27] <JPeterson> martin, pgrep "X process" return ""
[16:27] <D[4]ni> once more audio does not work at all
[16:27] <beandog> Guillem_: cpufrequtils *might* come with an init.d script to set them on startup
[16:27] <hc96> beandog: rebooting again sets nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> in the file along with nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> (I have added dns-nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> to /etc/network/interfaces)
[16:27] <hc96> beandog: and now dns again does not work
[16:28] <beandog> hc96: beats me.  no idea what's setting it.
[16:28] <beandog> hc96: it'll always use the first one first, though
[16:28] <martino1> JPeterson: what? lol   I called "X process" but process's name is X
[16:28] <martino1> lol
[16:28] <JPeterson> martin, pgrep "X" return ""
[16:28] <martino1> ps aux|grep X
[16:28] <Zaki-Sama|2> Hi everyone !!
[16:29] <martino1> JPeterson: really?
[16:29] <hc96> beandog: apparently not, since <IP_ADDRESS> is the first line
[16:30] <martino1> hmm I don't really know how unity's structure is ,, and how unity works
[16:30] <martino1> maybe it is that helly "plymouth"
[16:30] <beandog> hc96: well, whatever.  use that and nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> and you'll be fine
[16:30] <Zakidine> okay since no one is answering me on the french chan, just ask my question here
[16:30] <Zakidine> if i install the new 12.10 in 11.10's place
[16:31] <Guillem_> beandog,yes, I've seen it. The fan began blowing :P I have a computation ongoing and I had the governer set to powersafe, so the install of the package has changed it to ondemand.... :P
[16:31] <beandog> hc96: or you can use opendns instead of google: <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:31] <Zakidine> would i get while having the grub message
[16:31] <Zakidine> 12.10 and 11.10
[16:31] <JPeterson> martin, yes but that was because it wasnt running. i guess startx start X and not lightdm
[16:31] <beandog> Guillem_: cpufre-set -g <governer> I think ??
[16:31] <beandog> *cpufreq-set
[16:32] <martino1> JPeterson: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration <---- follow the procedure to set keyb-layout... and at the end it will ask you "you want ctrl alt backspace" to ...blahblah tell yes
[16:32] <JPeterson> martin, i dont wanna answer any question regarding the keyboard
[16:33] <martino1> lol
[16:33] <martino1> JPeterson:  ps aux|grep -i lightdm
[16:34] <JPeterson> martian: why would that be different from "sudo service --status-all 2>&1|grep lightdm"?
[16:34] <beandog> JPeterson: because service can be wrong
[16:34] <JPeterson> oh
[16:34] <beandog> based on how they check running services, pids
[16:34] <martino1> JPeterson: :)
[16:34] <beandog> Like something could be *running*, but if service didn't start it, it may not know
[16:35] <beandog> or you could have something where a service starts, using service, but service thinks it craps out when really it doesn't
[16:35] <beandog> odd corner cases, and stuff.
[16:35] <martino1> JPeterson: if you don't wanna answer for keyboard (lol) just run this --> setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
[16:35] <padhu> ubuntians, I got error when i login in gui mode, the error log is as http://pastebin.com/MfC8yT4A
[16:35] <beandog> displaying a process list isn't gonna lie though
[16:35] <JPeterson> the correct answer is. startx doesnt start lightdm, it starts X. "kill $(pgrep X)" is therefore recommended way to close x
