[14:33] <vlt> stueng: debootstrap is a tool you have to install first. On nearly any other Ubuntu or Debian system. Even CPU architecture doesn’t matter. Then you run it and it will install a complete fresh system into a *directory* you specify.
[14:33] <renato> I m lost in this linux
[14:34] <stueng> vlt: where would one run this tool from ?
[14:35] <stueng> !x.org
[14:35] <huppensuhn> is there a way to prevent shutdown and reboot? e.g. when a backup is running
[14:36] <mkohler> hi, how can I install a newer version of libc6? I get a dependy error: "Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) but 2.13-20ubuntu5.1 is installed"
[14:36] <nijan> Hello ubuntu community. We are a no profit association with a drupal site. We wanted to implement ideatorrent but it doesn't seems to be supported anymore and is not compatible with drupal7. What are you using for the brainstorm site?
[14:36] <stueng> !libc
[14:36] <vlt> stueng: An example. You have a working Ubuntu 10.04, install debootstrap, then open a terminal and run `debootstrap precise ./my_new_precise_system/`. It will install a base system (even w/o a kernel). You can either specify packages to be installed addidionally by debootstrap with the --include option or you can later chroot into that directory and run apt-get there …
[14:36] <stueng> how do u get package info from this bot ?
[14:37] <fidel_> stueng: !info packagename
[14:37] <stueng> !info libc
[14:37] <fidel_> stueng: but you could use your local terminal as well
[14:37] <stueng> !info libc6
[14:37] <fidel_> stueng: as it doersnt spam the channel ;)
[14:37] <stueng> tnks
[14:38] <stueng> is it possible to make the system auto login without a gui ?
[14:39] <mkohler> ^ that's weird since I have the precise sources in my sources.list and still can't get 2.15
[14:39] <fidel_> mkohler: tried apt-cache policy?
[14:39] <stueng> mkohler: under that depency error, do you see others? to do with previous installs that went wrong?
[14:39] <fidel_> mkohler: 'apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME' should show the version in use and the version offered by apt's sources
[14:41] <mkohler> stueng: actually there are other depency errors, but all about libc6
[14:41] <mkohler> how can I "abort" an upgrade?
[14:41] <mkohler> so it is clean to try again?
[14:42] <mkohler> 2.13-20ubuntu5.1 is installed, candidate is 2.15-0ubuntu10
[14:42] <stueng> tbh I dunno, but usually when I have weird stuff like that its because of a previous instlal that went wrong
[14:42] <stueng> guys, whats the equivilant to startx?
[14:43] <stueng> what used to be startx
[14:44] <n0dna> stueng, should still be startx unless the installed went wrong before that got configured
[14:44] <stueng> n0dna: which package would install x.org then ?
[14:44] <stueng> I dont want a DE.. just X
[14:45] <stueng> !info x.org
[14:45] <KurtKraut> How can I change the mouse cursor size? I use my computer plugged in a TV far from me. I need to increase the mouse cursor to make it visible. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity and didn't find this config.
[14:45] <n0dna> I think id't be ubuntu-desktop or desktop-ubuntu
[14:45] <stueng> n0dna: that would give me the DE.. which I am trying to avoid
[14:45] <n0dna> ah, gotcha...
[14:45] <stueng> I want the bare minimum to run XBMC
[14:45] <n0dna> would xbmc have the deps it needs?
[14:46] <stueng> xbmc is installed, just cnat run because of cannot connect to X server
[14:46] <n0dna> gotcha.

[14:48] <ICWeiner> lol
[14:49] <G__81> i am facing a problem with Ubuntu 12.04. any packages that i try to install result in failure. the message i see is all with respect to locale stuff. how do i resolve these errors can some one help me out ?
[14:49] <stueng> wohooo it works
[14:49] <BLZbubba> ok i'm starting to see this error: Illegal declaration of subroutine fields::PU
[14:50] <BLZbubba> from apt-get
[14:50] <BLZbubba> frontend actually
[14:50] <BLZbubba> am i the only one seeing this error?
[14:50] <stueng> I issue startx and all I get is a terminal, where I can start XBMC from. So, next step... is there a syntax I can pass to startx to make it start XBMC ?
[14:50] <BLZbubba> it looks like PUBLIC somehow came over as PUÂLIC
[14:51] <DFrostedWang> Once a week for 10 years lol
[14:51] <BLZbubba> in Fields.pm
[14:51] <stueng> ok nm that was easy: startx xbmc
[14:51] <n0dna> stueng: haven't done it in years, but iirc there's a .xinitrc in your ~
[14:51] <BLZbubba> stueng: which window manager does it give you?
[14:51] <terranada> I reinstalled my operating system (11.10) on multiple partitions one for root one for /usr and one for /home when i reinstalled i changed my login name and my old home folder is encrypted
[14:51] <stueng> BLZbubba: none
[14:51] <terranada> how can i access the data?
[14:51] <BLZbubba> stueng: then how do you start xbmc
[14:51] <G__81> can some one help me out ?
[14:52] <BLZbubba> G__81: what is the most common error/
[14:52] <stueng> BLZbubba: when I enter "start x" is takes me to a higher resolution terminal. From here I can start xbmc
[14:52] <stueng> startx*
[14:52] <n0dna> G__81,  can you install them from the CLI? tht'd eliminate the frontend as your issue
[14:52] <vlt> G__81: I think it’s because your generated locale file might be missing. So the messages are not related to the packages installed but just to the terminal. Try `dpkg-reconfigure locales`.
[14:53] <stueng> a simple "startx xbmc " starts X and starts XBMC so that was easy
[14:53] <G__81> vlt, i tried generating the locales but it does not solve the issue i get the errors still
[14:53] <vekexasia> Hello All, i'm trying to slow down the scroll speed of my mouse but I cant. I already googled but maybe i'm missing something.
[14:53] <BLZbubba> stueng: ok then look at the startx man page, in particular:        $(HOME)/.xinitrc         Client to run.  Typically a shell script which runs many programs in the background
[14:53] <terranada> I need to access my old encrypted home folder from a new user account, how can i do this?
[14:53] <DerZauberer> hi partyppl
[14:53] <BLZbubba> see if that helps you out
[14:53] <stueng> Im sure it will BLZbubba thanks
[14:53] <G__81> vlt, my /etc/default/locale file contains

[14:54] <terranada> srsly u guise
[14:54] <vekexasia> can anyone help me with my problem
[14:54] <vekexasia> of the scrolling of my mouse ?
[14:54] <DerZauberer> Seems like the wacom bamboo graphictablet crashes x11 :(
[14:54] <jathaba> vekexasia: there's a mouse and touchpad settings menu, have you tried that?
[14:54] <DerZauberer> after plugging it in, there is "stopping save kernel messages" and so on on the screen
[14:55] <vekexasia> hmm? LOL
[14:55] <alFReD-NSH> Does installing with wubi have any performance effects?
[14:55] <DerZauberer> it also stops anacron then
[14:55] <jathaba> oh, sorry, i guess it doesn't have a scroller control, my apologies
[14:56] <vekexasia> DerZauberer: yes just tried. don't work
[14:56] <stueng> in a normal ubuntu installation theres this "desktop sharing" anyone know what package provides that ?
[14:56] <G__81> BLZbubba, any help is greatly appreciated
[14:56] <Myrtti> alFReD-NSH: apart from the fact that it's not recommended for anything other than demoing the system or testing if the hardware works properly?
[14:57] <alFReD-NSH>  Myrtti: its not?
[14:57] <alFReD-NSH> whyyyyyyyy?
[14:57] <rotham> hey
[14:57] <Myrtti> alFReD-NSH: and as such it isn't recommended for longtime use, and the upgrades to newer versions often seem to fail? other than those limitations, no, there is no performance effects.
[14:57] <rotham> what do I have to add to an upstart script to get it to run on startup?
[14:57] <ICWeiner> I need help mounting an internal SD card reader for boot.
[14:57] <rotham> on the servers startup?
[14:57] <BLZbubba> G__81: what is your error?  can you pastebin the output?
[14:57] <DerZauberer> any ideas what I can do, vekexasia?
[14:57] <stueng> ICWeiner: are you sure your machine can boot from SD card? is it connect to the PCI bus or internal USB?
[14:57] <Myrtti> alFReD-NSH: because it's meant as a demo of Ubuntu much like PC game demos are
[14:58] <wwd> folks I have a bit of an issue I am trying to create an internal bitmap on a mdadm raid6 array without success. Anyone have any knowledge of this issue?
[14:58] <wwd> oot@bb:~# mdadm --grow --bitmap=none /dev/md0
[14:58] <wwd> mdadm: no bitmap found on /dev/md0 root@bb:~# mdadm --grow --bitmap=internal /dev/md0
[14:58] <wwd> mdadm: failed to set internal bitmap.
[14:58] <BLZbubba> G__81: are you doing a dpkg -i, apt-get install, or something else?
[14:58] <ICWeiner> It won't boot. That's what I want to change.
[14:58] <ICWeiner> IDK how it's connected
[14:58] <jathaba> can anyone help me edit an xorg.conf file? My monitor's image is slid left and is using the wrong resolution
[14:58] <splnet> Anyone here use qemu? I'm getting failed to initialize KVM: No such file or directory
[14:59] <alFReD-NSH> I installed ubuntu from 10.10 by wubi... Now running low on drive space now... Thats why I thought I should make a clean install without wubi
[14:59] <ikonia> splnet: how are you calling it
[14:59] <Myrtti> alFReD-NSH: sounds like a good idea
[14:59] <G__81> there were some updates shown by update manager and i clicked on update and i found that the packages have got installed but it says package installation failed. The reason being because of locales it shows errors with respect to LL_CC etc not set LANG_LL something of that sort
[14:59] <KurtKraut> How can I increase the mouse cursor size? I use my computer plugged to a TV far from me. I need to increase the mouse cursor to make it visible. Also I'd like to change it to a darker color as I used to do easily in Gnome 2. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity and didn't find this config.
[14:59] <alFReD-NSH> Would I be able later to change my drive without reinstalling
[14:59] <Zxixi> i just did an rm -rf in the wrong directory and kill a load of directories, is there any way to get them back?
[14:59] <ikonia> Zxixi: not really
[15:00] <Zxixi> restore backup it is then
[15:00] <Zxixi> thanks
[15:00] <Myrtti> alFReD-NSH: depending from what you mean by that
[15:00] <Sidewinder> alFReD-NSH, What Myrtti said is 100% correct; you'd be better off trying ubuntu from LiveCD to test hdw. sound, etc. Then if you like it, install dual boot, NOT wubi.
[15:01] <alFReD-NSH> I suppose its trivial to use the normal installer to install dual boot, right?
[15:02] <stueng> hmm what happened to iwconfig ? whats that called now?
[15:02] <mkohler> I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/NwXehKht .. how can I fix that?
[15:03] <terranada> how can i delete an old encrypted home folder?
[15:04] <stueng> deleting the user doesnt delete the folder?
[15:04] <stueng> and its not a folder its a directory :P
[15:04] <terranada> I reinstalled under a different name
[15:04] <terranada> now my old home folder is encrypted and i cant do anything with it
[15:04] <terranada> its 60 gb that i need
[15:05] <stueng> rf -Rf /path/to/fdirecotry doesnt work ?
[15:05] <nemo> So, I'm trying hard to love unity (although if compiz keeps crashing on me, I think I'll give up on it. Unity2D has way too annoying of window resizing)
[15:05] <terranada> i dont want to risk deleting the wrong things
[15:06] <stueng> sorry rm -Rf *
[15:06] <nemo> Anyway. I use davmail. Davmail in XFCE4 and gnome2 has an icon in the notification area.
[15:06] <nemo> There appears to be no notification area in Unity
[15:06] <terranada> i dont know how encryption works so i dont know what will happen if i delete the folder which registers as only 4 kb
[15:06] <nemo> How do I add a notification area to unity so I can actually access the management for this app?
[15:07] <elspuddy> iv just used dd to image a drive, how whould i access this image the dd made ?
[15:07] <nemo> elspuddy: mount it on a loopback?
[15:08] <stueng> anyone know the name of the package that provides the GUI interface to managing network interfaces?
[15:08] <lacinyc> it seems as though whenever I log out, my encrypted files are not repacked.. i.e. on next log in, I get the old contents again - what might be causing this? I just did an install of precise keeping my encrypted home partition as it already was, and did not have this problem before.
[15:08] <stueng> or command
[15:08] <elspuddy> nemo,  : how is this done ? :
[15:08] <nemo> elspuddy: I think gvfs is even able to make a nice browsable virtual - not sure though. does for isos
[15:08] <nemo> elspuddy: google for mounting disc image on loopback :-p
[15:08] <terranada> so no one knows how to delete an encrypted home folder?
[15:08] <stueng> I would rm -Rf it lol
[15:08] <nemo> indeed
[15:09] <lacinyc> terranada: there is a more thorough set of steps that are easily found by googling, but rm -rf should in general work?
[15:09] <terranada> i dont know what to google
[15:09] <terranada> i dont know the words
[15:09] <lacinyc> the exact question you just asked :)
[15:10] <terranada> how do i shot web?
[15:10] <terranada> it gives me pages on encrypting home folders not deleting them
[15:10] <lacinyc> oh well
[15:10] <stueng> yeh I googled it too, just found insturctions on creating encryoted dirs not deletin em
[15:11] <lacinyc> and here I wasn't even sure if you were serious.
[15:11] <terranada> god i wish there was a good support for GNU/Linux
[15:11] <stueng> anyone know the name of the package that provides the GUI interface to managing network interfaces? or the command from terminal?
[15:11] <lacinyc> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#How_to_Remove_an_Encrypted_Private_Directory_Setup
[15:11] <lacinyc> terranada: there is, you just have to look for more than 5 seconds.

[15:19] <zizoo> I can't get terminal beeps to work? I tried all sorts of fixes I read online, including going into alsamixer and unmuting beep, modprobing pcspkr, and echoing to /dev/console. The first two do nothing and the last says permission denied for /dev/console. Any tips?
[15:19] <zizoo> work.*
[15:19] <mkohler> Cerrdor: http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-apache2-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-ubuntu-10.10-lamp

[15:19] <stueng> Cerrdor: install apache ?
[15:20] <stueng> !apache
[15:20] <xudehuai> .
[15:20] <lacinyc> Cerrdor: that assumes you *want* lamp.. which I'm going to guess is correct in this particular instance.
[15:21] <Cerrdor> that is correct
[15:21] <maverick> exit
[15:21] <Cerrdor> I have been asked to monitor a server monitoring software and blog about it in Linux admin scenarios
[15:22] <zizoo> I don't even particularly care whether I get the apt repository's beep program to work or echoing the terminal bell character. I just want to be able to beep.
[15:22] <stueng> are you going to blog in english Cerrdor ?
[15:22] <Cerrdor> yupp
[15:22] <stueng> god help us
[15:22] <Cerrdor> Im Amurican
[15:22] <mister_m> I am having trouble making an alias for a path that contains spaces. I have the alias value in quotes - but when I use the alias the path cuts off at the first space
[15:23] <stueng> try putting a \ infront of the space
[15:23] <DerZauberer> so nobody has an ideo to get it working? :/
[15:23] <Mitchell_M> Okay, I tried to do a manual override of the default .desktop files on launcher using these instructions. however didn't give me results. Am I just bad at following these instructions?? lol http://askubuntu.com/questions/73096/how-to-make-applications-pinned-in-launcher-appear-for-all-users
[15:24] <mister_m> stueng, escaping them worked. I was not expecting that I needed to escape them when they were in quotes. thank you
[15:24] <DerZauberer> I really need to get this graphictablet working, because my friend is a webdesigner
[15:24] <FrozenMind> mister_m - You will want to use \ -- Example /hello\ there\ my\ name\ is\ FrozenMind = hello there my name is FrozenMind <- as a file/folder name :)
[15:24] <Cerrdor> sometimes you have to define them
[15:25] <jarlath> Not sure what package to report this bug against, but basically users with a password-less login have their sound muted at every login. Any suggestion?
[15:25] <Cerrdor> wierd
[15:26] <designbybeck> Anyone know the best way to do an actual Install to a USB... so you can have a full blown Username/Password, Software Install, Save Files and such?
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> designbybeck:  just point the installer to the usb.. same as a hard drive
[15:27] <zizoo> I can't get beeps out of the terminal. I tried unmuting 'beep' in alsamixer and modprobing pcspkr, to no avail. Any help?
[15:27] <designbybeck> but at what point Dr_Willis ?
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> designbybeck:  i reccomend a 16+ gb usb
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> designbybeck:  when you do the installer... you point it to the usb /dev/sdXX same as you would a internal hard drive. no differance at all. be sure grub installs to the usb also.
[15:27] <Cerrdor> or just unpack the iso to the usb using a virtual disk
[15:28] <designbybeck> how do you force GRUB to install to the usb? Dr_Willis?
[15:28] <designbybeck> How would you do that Cerrdor?
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> designbybeck:  the installer asks...
[15:28] <kapz> is there any way to determine if my laptop supports sata 3.0? like in device manager
[15:28] <designbybeck> where to install grub? Off the normal .ISO install Dr_Willis?
[15:28] <Cerrdor> designbybeck, you on Linu8x or windows?
[15:28] <Mitchell_M> designbybeck: I don't thing you understand, when you go to through the installation it ask you where you want to install the program
[15:28] <Cerrdor> yupp
[15:28] <designbybeck> I've tried the UCK but doesn't seem to work with 12.04
[15:29] <designbybeck> Ubuntu 12.04 Cerrdor
[15:29] <Mitchell_M> ???
[15:29] <Mitchell_M> Yeah, Ubuntu 12.04, I have the same one
[15:29] <designbybeck> Ubuntu Coustomization Kit
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> UCK has issues with 12.04 from what i hear.
[15:30] <designbybeck> So if I have a laptop, and boot off a USB...and have another USB plugged in, I can tell it to Install to the Blank USB?
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> designbybeck:  thats how i do it all the time.
[15:30] <Mitchell_M> designbybeck: look at this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cuzC03ZuPCA/TvDn3XckS2I/AAAAAAAAATc/ODzc8pSWd7s/s1600/how+to+install+ubuntu.jpg
[15:30] <designbybeck> Yeah Dr_Willis that is what I have read, I had the same bug that was posted
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> one live-usb installing a full install to a 2nd usb
[15:31] <Mitchell_M> Under the Device for boot loader isntallation: you select the drive
[15:31] <designbybeck> Hmmm... I guess I've never tried exacatully that, I was affraid of messing up the systems harddrive
[15:31] <designbybeck> looking now Mitchell_M
[15:31] <zizoo> How can I beep via terminal? I tried unmuting 'beep' in alsamixer and modprobing pcspkr, but still no sound from echoing the bell char or from the beep program.
[15:31] <Mitchell_M> this is an older version of Ubuntu, but same idea
[15:31] <pungi-man> can i have two monitors displaying two different workspaces but connected with a single CPU??
[15:31] <designbybeck> ah!.... could it be that easy!... I've seemed to overlook that
[15:31] <Mitchell_M> I know because I installed Ubuntu 12.04 at least 6 times over the past 3 weeks
[15:31] <Cerrdor> zizoo have you tried a fog horn while pressing the button?
[15:32] <Mitchell_M> past 2 weeks
[15:32] <Cerrdor> that would get a signifigant beep
[15:32] <designbybeck> an d you just give it it's own username/password and then can boot off it from any computer and it keeps your settings and software you have insatlled?
[15:32] <Mitchell_M> I didn't do it on a USB, but it would run the same way and request username and password
[15:32] <zizoo> Cerrdor, lol, maybe I'll just attach a usb foghorn to my computer and write my own beep program to operate it. :P
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> designbybeck:  full install to usb is same as a normal install procedure...
[15:33] <Cerrdor> zizoo now yur thinkin
[15:33] <kapz> is there any way to determine if my laptop supports sata 3.0? like in device manager
[15:33] <designbybeck> Ok... maybe some of the older things I was reading scared me!
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> usb-> usb is quite quick also
[15:33] <G__81> i get the following errors when i install any package
[15:33] <designbybeck> ha. I'll give it  a go Dr_Willis and Mitchell_M...thank you for your help!
[15:33] <Mitchell_M> It's simple, don't let the internet scare you :0
[15:33] <designbybeck> *fingers crossed*
[15:33] <Mitchell_M> kk
[15:33] <G__81> http://fpaste.org/k1wB/
[15:33] <G__81> can some one help me solve the errors mentioned @ http://fpaste.org/k1wB/
[15:33] <drvanon> This error (https://gist.github.com/2775900) got me a little confused. Are there multiple errors or is it just one?
[15:34] <zizoo> lol, but seriously, does anybody know why these beeps don't work?
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> zizoo:  theres some known issues with 12.04 and 'system beeping' not working
[15:34] <G__81> hi Dr_Willis
[15:35] <deejay31> Are friendly bots allowed in here
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> deejay31:  best to not bring them in. no need for them to be here
[15:35] <zizoo> Dr_Willis: Ah. No resolutions though? I have looked around online, but haven't seen much on this issue recently, aside from this guy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/96511/getting-the-pc-speaker-to-beep
[15:35] <deejay31> Oh, ok
[15:35] <G__81> can some one look into these locale errors. Am missing something or is something screwed up
[15:36] <G__81> The errors are pasted @ http://fpaste.org/k1wB/
[15:36] <Dr_Willis> zizoo:  i normally turn off the beeps... even if it means removeing the little pc spkr.
[15:36] <Progster> should I be able to su into an account which has shell set to /bin/false if I supply -s /bin/sh ?
[15:36] <G__81> Dr_Willis, can you help me please ?
[15:37] <Zta> From Ubuntu 12.04 a "Type your command" prompt opens in the top left corner whenever I press and release Alt alone.  How do I disable that?
[15:37] <zizoo> Dr_Willis: I want it mainly as an easy not-bypassable way to aggravate people who use my computer without permission. I take another device and ssh 'while true; do beep; done'.
[15:37] <zizoo> Or similar
[15:38] <DerZauberer> okay, so she has go back to windows for a working graphic tablet :/
[15:38] <spacebug-> Zta: system settings -> keyboard -> short cuts -> key to show the HUD  (disable that one)
[15:38] <Zta> thanks!
[15:38] <Cerrdor> oh zoing
[15:39] <Cerrdor> which server should I use basic ubuntu, DNS server or Edubuntu
[15:39] <zizoo> And just because I like experimenting with the beep parameters to make music. xD... It works on my laptop, but my laptop is still on 11.10.
[15:39] <designbybeck> Another question Dr_Willis and Mitchell_M ... I've seen this a time or two now. When I pop in a bootable USB or in this case just created a new one. I see a popup that says "A volume with software packages has been detected. Would you like to open it with pakcage maanger?" what is this?
[15:39] <mkohler> I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/NwXehKht .. how can I fix that?
[15:40] <designbybeck> Is it saying I can update the ISO/Boot packges so it is already even more uptodate when I install it?
[15:40] <Mitchell_M> Hmm, I don't remember that, but is that in the selection for erase and create new page?
[15:40] <Mitchell_M> not new page I mean new Ubuntu install
[15:41] <designbybeck> no Mitchell_M
[15:41] <designbybeck> just when you plug in a bootable jump drive
[15:41] <Zta> spacebug-: Relief!!  Now, I previously had Super+Tab configured to cycle though apps using a different switcher.  I configured this in ccsm and still have this configured, but Super+Tab is overridden to cycle the task bar.  Can this be disabled too?
[15:42] <Mitchell_M> I don't think that's necessary, but if it really bothers you I can try installing ubuntu on a Vm right now and look at it
[15:42] <zizoo> Well, would anyone know why I can output bell chars to /dev/console on my 11.10 lappy but get a permission denied error on 12.04?
[15:42] <stueng> on a "minimal" ubuntu install without a DE would a USB stick automount? if not, how do I know its /dev/sdxxx ?
[15:42] <stueng> oh fdisk helped me... but will it try autmount ?
[15:43] <jst> hello
[15:43] <jst> i have a real simple question im still new to ubuntu
[15:43] <spacebug-> Zta: Not sure but you should be able to change things like that in ccsm I think.
[15:43] <Mitchell_M> give me a moment
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  no it would not. there are console based auto mounting services.
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> !mount | stueng
[15:44] <stueng> Dr_Willis: could you point me in the direction of one, I wish for this system to auto mount
[15:44] <jst> how do i connect two differnt folders so there one in the same?
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  check the package manager search feature.
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> not used one of those in years.
[15:44] <stueng> Dr_Willis: apt-cache search ?
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  yes...
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> !apt
[15:45] <jst> hello?
[15:45] <stueng> jst: define connect two folders
[15:45] <stueng> !info pmount
[15:45] <Dr_Willis> jst:  you can make 'soft links' to make folder 1 also appear as folder 2
[15:46] <Cerrdor> is this edubuntu server any good if anyone has used it?
[15:46] <jst> im trying to get web to be in httpd
[15:46] <stueng> !info autofs5
[15:46] <jst> so if i place it in that folder it gets put into httpd
[15:46] <stueng> ^ does this soiund right Dr_Willis
[15:47] <clausen> I would like to remove setuid on everything on my server (for security reasons).  According to the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SUIDFiles Ubuntu requires "sudo" to be setuid root.  What might go wrong if I remove setuid root?
[15:47] <clausen> (on sudo)
[15:47] <G__81> Did some one get a chance to look @ the errors ?
[15:48] <Dr_Willis> clausen:  you lose all sudo rights... and cant admin anything. ;)
[15:48] <Dr_Willis> clausen:  theres secure, then thers paranoid... then theres 'tinfoil hat paranoid'
[15:48] <Mitchell_M> designbybeck: you still there?
[15:48] <clausen> Dr_Willis, yes, I'm definitely going for "tinfail hat paranoid" for this project.  I plan to log in via ssh pubilc key to root
[15:48] <OerHeks> G__81, LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_IN.ISO8859-1"  ??
[15:49] <clausen> (and then drop privileges with non-setuid root "su")
[15:49] <OerHeks> G__81, how did you do that?
[15:49] <clausen> Dr_Willis, so, if I do all administration as root, I won't have trouble with non-setuid sudo?
[15:50] <G__81> OerHeks, i didnt do anything i am not sure how it got set ? :(
[15:50] <G__81> OerHeks, how do i rectify these errors ?
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> clausen:  sudo has usese other then 'the command you use to get root rights' if you are doing such customzations, you are likely to cause other issues and perhaps even make things more insecure. I dont see the point in your security  changes.
[15:51] <designbybeck> yes Mitchell_M?
[15:51] <OerHeks> G__81, this askubuntu page can help >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/11184/how-to-change-users-language-locale-back-to-english
[15:51] <Mitchell_M> okay
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> clausen:  there is SElinux and bastille that do other hardning features.. but i dont use them
[15:51] <Mitchell_M> So I'm in the selection for the drivees
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> clausen:  move the binaries to a removeable usb flash drive. ;)
[15:51] <Mitchell_M> Is what you said before or after?
[15:52] <clausen> Dr_Willis, what other uses?
[15:52] <clausen> (I don't understand how removing setuid could make things less secure)
[15:52] <designbybeck> err... the last question i had Mitchell_M was just on a Ubuntu computer, when you plug in a USBBootable Drive
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> clausen:  check the sudo homepage to learn of some of its other features. one is logging of commands used, another is allowing non-root-non-admin users limited admin rights..
[15:53] <Mitchell_M> :o, so you haven't started the install ?
[15:53] <designbybeck> right this was just a side question I Noticed a few times when plugging in bootable drives
[15:54] <splnet> How do I disable the MOTD update that occurs each time I ssh in?
[15:54] <Mitchell_M> :o, I see. That's not important then. What's important is popping your cd in and seeing the drives. I'll post up a picture of what you will see in Ubuntu 12.04
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> splnet:  you can do a 'touch .hushlogin' and not see the motd at all
[15:55] <designbybeck> does it have to be a CD Mitchell_M? Or can I use 2 usbs?
[15:55] <OerHeks> splnet, uninstall MOTD
[15:56] <stueng> anyone know how to make a minimal, terminal only ubuntu installation auto mount USB devices when they are plugged in?
[15:56] <stueng> I have tried autofs5 I dont think this is the right hting
[15:56] <faceprint> I recently upgraded a headless box from 11.04 to 12.04 (in 2 steps, running do-release-upgrade twice).  I now have an issue where the box will disappear from the network until I ping from the box out, and then network connectivity is fine.  I haven't figured out a good way to describe this problem in a search to try and find a solution.  Can anyone help?
[15:56] <clausen> Dr_Willis, thanks a lot for your help!  I think I've convinced myself there will be no problem (since sudo only works for people in the admin group anyway)
[15:57] <stueng> !info udev
[15:57] <Mitchell_M> You can do 2 USBs
[15:57] <splnet> Dr_Willis: right but /etc/motd still seems to get updated which causes some slow down
[15:57] <Mitchell_M> Only the other USB will appear so it will be fine
[15:58] <D[4]ni> ...is it normal that my speakers make really strange noises when i listen to music and simultaneously play some game?
[15:58] <splnet> OerHeks: I don't see a package called motd
[15:58] <OerHeks> splnet, or wipe /usr/share/games/fortune ?
[15:58] <splnet> OerHeks: update-motd is there but is not installed
[15:59] <compdoc> splnet, if you chmod -x  to the files in /etc/update.motd.d they wont run
[15:59] <splnet> OerHeks: that might be. Its basically an advertisement for Ubuntu.
[15:59] <designbybeck> Ok my first burn didn't seem to work right...so i'm making a nother USB
[15:59] <OerHeks> splnet, yes, you can add your own.
[16:00] <splnet> compdoc: bingo thats what I was looking for. thanks!
[16:00] <stueng> !info usbmount
[16:00] <compdoc> splnet, I have my motd give me system info like cpu load
[16:00] <Mitchell_M> ok
[16:02] <alecbenzer> is a way to get gnome-terminal (or any other term-emulator) to highlight filenames like it does urls and be able to open them by clicking on the name?
[16:02] <deepsight> anyone knows how to create an Apple's partition_map from linux?
[16:03] <splnet> Alright it takes 5 seconds to ssh into my machine. Any tips how to improve that? I added "UseDNS no" to sshd_config. Any other ideas?
[16:05] <OerHeks> splnet 5 seconds eh ?
[16:05] <OerHeks> splnet looks like this issue >http://brianin3d.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/slow-ssh-under-ubuntu-fix/
[16:05] <OerHeks> GSSAPIAuthentication no
[16:06] <Mitchell_M> designbybeck: okay, here's where you will change to USB, after you select erase all on the previous screen. http://tinyurl.com/c73kzo2
[16:06] <Mitchell_M> I have to go now, but good luck (i'll be back later probably)
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> alecbenzer:  cant say ive ever seen that feature.. or would want it. ;)
[16:07] <killr> hi guys.........my alsamixer does not have a option of pcm
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> alecbenzer:  i do recall some nautiuls patch/feture where it would have a terminal at the bottom of the file manager window.
[16:07] <town> Icy Box embedded (2.6.X) ?
[16:07] <mkohler> I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/NwXehKht .. how can I fix that?
[16:07] <splnet> OerHeks: I just tried that. Still no dice
[16:09] <designbybeck> Hmm
[16:09] <splnet> Not seeing that gss failure issue. This is 12.04 btw
[16:09] <alecbenzer> Dr_Willis: well I wouldn't really want to deal with nautilus. I meant just opening it in $EDITOR or something
[16:09] <designbybeck> thanks Mitchell_M
[16:10] <Bronze> Hi, just started using ubuntu again after many years absence, not familiar with new init system. Can someone tell me what the command is to disable a wervice? So it does not get started again at next reboot?
[16:10] <Bronze> *service, not "wservice" :)
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> Bronze:  for upstart managed services. you can edit/rename the /etc/init/whatever.conf file to be like whatever.dontrun   as a easy way
[16:12] <Bronze> Dr_Willis: what is the approved command to use in the updtart system? I'd rather conform to good practices.
[16:12] <Bronze> *upstart
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> Bronze:  never seen a 'command' to manage it..   from what i recall of the upstart homepage. they say either edit the .conf or rename it
[16:12] <Bronze> no equivalent to chkconfig?
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> !upstart
[16:13] <nils_> Hi there. Can someone tell me why I get ugly GNOME notification popup under KDE ? ==> http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2012/21/1337789583-Screenshot14.png
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> there may be some better upstart starter guides out there also. i rarely mess with it.
[16:14] <Bronze> Dr_Willis: Please, when you said "edit the .conf" what file were you referring to?
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> Bronze:  each service has its own whatever.conf file look in /etc/init/
[16:14] <Bronze> ok, thanks.
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> theres still vestages of the old SysV stuff about. :) but if you look those are actually being handled by upstart. perhaps someday they will all vanish.
[16:16] <prothon> Hello. I've been looking around but I can't find much of anything pertaining to an iSCSI fenced storage solution for ubuntu.
[16:16] <prothon> Does anyone have a direction they could point me in?
[16:19] <huppensuhn> is there a way to prevent shutdown and reboot? e.g. when a backup is running
[16:19] <mkohler> huppensuhn: why would you want to do that? what is causing the shutdown?
[16:19] <bieb> how do I remove a package from apt-get's list? I was trying to install likewise-open, it failed through apt-get, but I was able to install pbis (replacement for likewise-open) everytime I try to install another package it fails because it is still trying to download likewise
[16:20] <Dr_Willis> 'it failed through apt-get' - what failed about it?
[16:20] <en1gma> im going to use yumi to install ubuntu 12.04 64bit to my usb stick. how do i make a persistent install so i can change back to the older ui and it will save it so i dont have to do it everytime
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> en1gma:  the instaler tool normally has an option to make a persistant save file.  And if you really want the old gnome2 - there are some Unsupported ubuntu variants out with it allready
[16:21] <huppensuhn> mkohler, I'm causing the shutdown, when I'm not thinking of the backup still running
[16:21] <en1gma> i absomg really
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> a persistant save file setup is not ideal for major changes to the install.
[16:21] <en1gma> what are the variants
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> no idea.. gnome 2 is dead to me.. i dont touch it.
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> check  the ubuntu blog sites and disrtowatch
[16:22] <en1gma> omg i so hate the new UI i hope they switch it back...i do hate kde more though
[16:22] <mkohler> huppensuhn: I'm sure you could change the shutdown script and set a variable to indicate a backup is running.. but honestly I have no idea how :)
[16:22] <en1gma> i usually just roll it back to older version and then its all good
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> en1gma:  oh well..  gnome2 is dead.. and the fallback mode is basically a tempary  thing.
[16:22] <bieb> Dr_Willis: it failed trying to overwrite /usr/bin/domainjoin-cli which is also in the package pbis-open.. thats what it tells me.. I have run apt-get -f install 3 times, as it recommends and it still fails.
[16:22] <en1gma> they are really going to keep this ui from now on?>
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> gnome shell, unity, or xfce/lubuntu if you want old skool
[16:23] <lattera> so I have a shared library, libhijack, in /usr/lib (/usr/lib/libhijack.so), attempting to compile an app against it, gcc (and clang) both say that it can't find libhijack
[16:23] <Dr_Willis> en1gma:  unity is the default desktop for ubuntu, and the ubuntu-tv and ubuntu-phone i hear.
[16:23] <fabiobik> people i have something that make me nuts.... im trying to get an usb bootable disk but when i boot from usb gives me missing sysyem operative
[16:23] <Dr_Willis> but i imagine it will get tweaked for those.
[16:23] <fabiobik> can someone help me with this?
[16:23] <Dr_Willis> fabiobik:  you made it wrong perhaps.
[16:23] <devpilot> when i'm running ubuntu my laptop getting much hotter than it get in windows
[16:23] <Fat-Thing> Dr_Willis, does the ubuntu 9.04 work!? i got a cd tho.... :)
[16:23] <en1gma> gawd it just feels so slow compared to gnome2...i mean it definately slows me down switching from one app to the other
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> Fat-Thing:  no idea. I stay with the current latest releases.
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> en1gma:  unity is quite snappy on my low end netbook.
[16:24] <fabiobik> Dr_Willis, i guess..
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> i just apt-tab to switch apps. same as i always have.
[16:24] <fabiobik> Dr_Willis, im using unetbootin
[16:24] <en1gma> the slow part is having to select the buttons each time
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> buttons? ;)
[16:24] <mkohler> en1gma: I encourage you to use alt+tab.. it makes your life a lot easier :)
[16:24] <en1gma> not the software actually switching after you select the buttons on left panel
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> who needs buttons.. we dont need no stinking buttons..
[16:24] <huppensuhn> en1gma, there is mate desktop, a gnome2 fork. but it's not in the repos and I have no idea how well it works.
[16:25] <en1gma> alt-tab if only two apps but if you have 5 open then alt-tab is slow
[16:25] <Dr_Willis> en1gma:  superkey+# can also switch apps...
[16:25] <ZenMaster> Good morning
[16:25] <Fat-Thing> i messed up my distro...and tot i'm doomed! thankfully i got fluxbox...and tried to install ubuntu-desktop and it works back but got messy coz it freezes alot .... for about 30-40sec and resumes grrrr
[16:25] <prothon> ls
[16:25] <Dr_Willis> en1gma:  but most people dont bother to actually learn any of the ubuntu tricks.. thats why if you hold the SUPER key it shows the shortcut keys. :)
[16:25] <mkohler> prothon: wrong window ;)
[16:26] <en1gma> i really cant believe they are keeping it. im still using it but i definately put it back to the way i been used to
[16:26] <Dr_Willis> Fat-Thing:  freezes for all users? even newly made one?
[16:26] <fabiobik> Dr_Willis, ive istalled mbr
[16:26] <Dr_Willis> en1gma:  with that logic we would all be using Geos and Win1.1
[16:26] <fabiobik> to the pen but nothing...
[16:26] <kostasa> hi
[16:26] <prothon> mkohler, haha yeah. I moved my mouse too far and synergy kicked me over to my laptop :P
[16:26] <en1gma> with the logic they are using now we all might as well just use windows
[16:26] <Dr_Willis> fabiobik:  could be the pc cant read the usb or boot from them. You can 'dd' the iso file to the flash thats about as idiot-proof (if you dont mess up dd) as i know.
[16:27] <lattera> anyone know why I would get undefined symbol errors when trying to compile an app, when the symbols to in fact exist?
[16:28] <Fat-Thing> nope Dr_Willis my old ubuntu 10.04 lts distro....the gnome2 got weird it boot up but got no panel shown nothing rather i got a terminal so i tried to login using fluxbox and from there i tried one suggestion from here to do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop then reboot and walla i got my old gnome2 work but not like before it freezes a lot
[16:28] <gulzar_> any offline dictionary like Artha but for KDE?
[16:28] <Dr_Willis> Fat-Thing:  make a new user.. see if they have the same issue.
[16:28] <Fat-Thing> yup same issue i tried it already :(
[16:28] <huppensuhn> is there a way to get transparent compression inside encfs? I read about fusecompress, but it's not in the repositories. there is a working package on launchpad, but I'm worried about losing my data if that doesn't work anymore after e.g. an OS upgrade. are there alternatives?
[16:28] <lattera> anyone know why I would get undefined symbol errors when trying to compile an app, when the symbols do in fact exist? (`objdump -T /usr/lib/libhijack.so` shows they exist)
[16:29] <Fat-Thing> i tried to lessen the resolution from the monitor same failed
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> Fat-Thing:  that points to some deeper system issue then.  so im out of ideas.
[16:29] <bieb>  Dr_Willis: it failed trying to overwrite /usr/bin/domainjoin-cli which is also in the package pbis-open.. thats what it tells me.. I have run apt-get -f install 3 times, as it recommends and it still fails.
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> lowering the res seems a rather random thing to do.
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> bieb:  perhaps remove both packages? and then reinstall one..
[16:30] <Fat-Thing> but i did a memtest and all passed i dunno .... just by opening 1 youtube video i need to refresh the page 3 times to get the video work.....hehehe weird
[16:30]  * Dr_Willis apt fixing skill level is rather fundamental
[16:30] <D[4]ni> ...is it normal that my speakers make really strange noises when i listen to music and simultaneously play some game?
[16:30] <ZenMaster> Anyone here have any experience with volantis?
[16:31] <ZenMaster> Or help on how to configure it? :D
[16:31] <lattera> anyone know why I would get undefined symbol errors when trying to compile an app, when the symbols do in fact exist? (`objdump -T /usr/lib/libhijack.so` shows they exist)
[16:32] <_Marcus> !anyone | ZenMaster

Ever since I did that when I startx all I get is blank screen (as root or normal user) I re-installed everything. startx worked fine when running as root... when I laucned as normal user blank screen. and now doesnt work for root either ever since
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> why wyoud you startx as root?
[16:46] <stueng> I was in sudo -s at the time and forgot
[16:46] <safeith> I installed heimdall in ubuntu 12.04 but when i wan to use it i get libusb erroe how i can fix it
[16:46] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  most likely some of the users config files are now owned by root.  change them back to be owned as  the user. :)
[16:46] <kippy> Guys I installed xrdp on one of my machines, I connect using remmina. Problem is when the connection breaks and I connect again, I get blank desktop instead of my running applications, is this spawining a new x-session? What can I do?
[16:46] <stueng> Dr_Willis: it wont start as root either atm ?
[16:46] <rabbi1> designbybeck: thank you
[16:47] <stueng> how can I kill this blank screen ?
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  so..  use the console. and kill X
[16:47] <designbybeck> i've used lynx before, takes a lil while to get use to, but i guess it is good for what it does rabbi1
[16:47] <stueng> Dr_Willis: under ctrl+alt+f1 I see "no protocol specified"
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> stueng:   and how about the other 5 consoles?
[16:47] <Dr_Willis> alt-ctrl-f2+
 and <alt> work on right side of keyboard instead of left side, how can i change this ?
[16:48] <stueng> Dr_Willis: they are fine, I just wonder if this no protocol specified is a clue ?
[16:48] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  thats error messages/log from your X session.. you could do a ctrl-c in that console to kill X i imagine
[16:48] <hawkal1> What would a generic minimal install need to play sound?
[16:48] <stueng> Dr_Willis: yeah ctrl+x worked to kill it, I thought maybe the no protocol error might be a clue why I have blank scnreen
[16:48] <lattera> what's a good pastebin client in ubuntu's apt repos?
[16:49] <lattera> I use wgetpaste on fbsd
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> !info pastebinit
[16:49] <stueng> Dr_Willis: so chown media:media -R /home/media ?
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  your users name is media? how.. weird.
[16:50] <Sheperson> I have installed both Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.3 with 1.8.7 as the default. How can I set 1.9.3 as the default ruby interpreter?
[16:50] <stueng> Dr_Willis: its a xbmc box
[16:50] <jeremiah> i am having difficulties updating 11.10 to 12.04. i keep getting errors. can someone help
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  that looks right. but you could use the ls -R command to see what files are actually changed. most likely its just one or 2 of them
[16:51] <stueng> "there are stopped jobs" someone remind me how to fall back to them pls
[16:51] <stueng> its been a while :P
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> bg/fg commands are for job controll normally
[16:51] <openvoid_> jobs to list them
[16:52] <stueng> ty thats it
[16:52] <Dr_Willis> saw a neat guide once on bash job control ;)
[16:52] <Dr_Willis> but i rarely use 1%  of bash's features it seems
[16:55] <meoblast001> hi
[16:55] <meoblast001> is it normal for 12.04 to randomly lock up frequently during use?
[16:55] <meoblast001> i have 2 systems with very different hardware and they both do it
[16:55] <meoblast001> is this a known issue?
[16:56] <stueng> startx as the user still results in blank screen Dr_Willis
[16:56] <escott> meoblast001, probably an issue with your graphics drivers. what kind of graphics card do you have
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  move all their config and other files to some subdir perhaps. to eliminate it being a setting issue.
[16:56] <meoblast001> escott: Mesa, Intel on one, ATI on the other
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  they have a .dmrc file? if so check whats in it also.
[16:56] <rotham> hey... why would upstart say this:
[16:56] <rotham><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:56] <rotham> err
[16:56] <rotham> oops
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> what a long prompt. ;)
[16:57] <escott> meoblast001, the intel should be fairly stable. something else must be going on. any pattern to the lockups
[16:57] <rotham> #service supervisor stop
[16:57] <rotham> stop: Unknown instance:
[16:57] <meoblast001> escott: none at all
[16:57] <HustlerInvader> Argh the Ubuntu Dash, Launcher, Topbar have suddenly disappeared after normal actions like using Chromium - how can I fix this? Or how can I troubleshoot this?
[16:57] <meoblast001> i want to believe it's Unity's fault, but who knows
[16:58] <meoblast001> i figure if it's happening on 2 of my machines, lots of other people must be having the same problem
[16:59] <stueng> Dr_Willis: cat .dmrc - no file
[17:00] <stueng> I deleted .Xauth*
[17:00] <stueng> rebootoing and trying again
[17:00] <Cerrdor> HustlerInvader, try Alt+F2
[17:01] <stueng> Dr_Willis: deleting .Xauth* fixed hte problem
[17:01] <stueng> this is weird its sluggish when launched as a normal user
[17:01] <HustlerInvader> Cerrdor: Perfect that fixed it, thank you so much, it was driving me crazy... do you happen to know why it happens or how I can avoid it?
[17:02] <Cerrdor> I dont know why it happens just sometimes crashes
[17:02] <Cerrdor> it happens lol
[17:03] <xeviox> hi guys, installed "ssmtp" on my server (ubuntu 11.10), but I'm unable to send a testmail as "Ctrl+D" isn't recognized to end the message, any clues?
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> stueng:  thats a main X security file . so that makes sence
[17:04] <HustlerInvader> Cerrdor: oki, I would make a bug report about it, but I just don't know what data that I should submit and how to reproduce the bug :/
[17:04] <Dr_Willis> xeviox:  i thought ctrl-\ also worked as an end of file. (been ages since i last did stuff like that)
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> xeviox:  could be the terminal app is some how takeing the ctrl-d or the window manager is.
[17:05] <xeviox> Dr_Willis: thanks, will try that
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> ctrl-d to finish email.. that IS old skool. ;P
[17:06] <xeviox> Dr_Willis: hehe
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> you going to send out email to everone in the corp. to tell them 'email is not for personal use' ;)
[17:07] <stueng> ok wtf... I start xbmc as normal user its sluggish. I start as root its fast ?
[17:07] <xeviox> Dr_Willis: although it's a bit unhandy to type, "Ctrl-\" seems to work thanks!
[17:08] <specijalac> is it possible to remove Unity from Ubuntu?
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> xeviox:  old skool trivia knowledge.. i cant rember where i learned that at.
[17:08] <stueng> !notunity
[17:08] <stueng> ^^
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> specijalac:  install whatever desktop you want.. use it instead.
[17:08] <wilee-nilee> specijalac, some do but not a good idea really, you can get every desktop all by itself including the gnome shell.
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> ill stick to unity for now. I like the HUD.
[17:09] <specijalac> well no offence to any one of you guys, but ubuntu became a bit crapy when Unity came to place..
[17:09] <specijalac> at least for me..
[17:09] <specijalac> so I'm trying to get rid of it!
[17:10]  * Dr_Willis wonders how many sec. it was actually used...
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> but whatever.. install what you like. we dont care.
[17:10] <wilee-nilee> specijalac, that is your personal opinion and others as well, but this is support, not subjective complaints.
[17:10] <xeviox> Dr_Willis: just found out that nullmailer messed up my log folder, so I try to migrate to ssmtp
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> Lubuntu and xubuntu are good for old skoool desktop setups.
[17:10] <newbie> i can list the folders on the client but when i am prompted for username and password and i give it.. it doesnt lets me in. what can be wrong. using kubunt as server and kubuntu as client
[17:10] <fccf> specijalac: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop environment
[17:10] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  what sort of 'service' are you refering to?
[17:11] <fccf> gnome-desktop-environment **
[17:11] <specijalac> thank you fccf!
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> gnome-shell is weirder then unity in many ways. ;)
[17:11] <fccf> specijalac: after that is done click the ubuntu logo in the login screen to select Gnome classic
[17:11] <specijalac> well I don't like the iOS/Windows rippping on Linux
[17:11] <specijalac> thank kind of linux is not a linux for me
[17:12] <bazhang> !ot | specijalac
[17:12] <specijalac> there are better UI's there, and linux with unity is not unique at all
[17:12] <specijalac> OK
[17:12] <bazhang> specijalac, thats enough
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> The gnome-classic/fallback is just a 'stopgap' measure i hear - and may vanish in the next release.. or whenver the gnome-devs want it to go away. ;)
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> specijalac:  thats all debateable in the OT channel.
[17:12]  * Dr_Willis hugs the HUD.
[17:13] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  i have installed samba on both computers. and i want to share files from one to another. i just go to samba shares and can view the folders but cant acces them
[17:13] <stueng> you are sharing files between two linux machies?
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  you gave the user a samba password with the 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' command on the machines?
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> or set up guest/open shares. :)
[17:14] <stueng> use nfs?
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> or sshfs ;) depending on your needs
[17:15] <stueng> ok wtf... I start xbmc as normal user its sluggish. I start as root its fast ?  <-- anyone :)
[17:15] <specijalac> nfs as for - need for speed? :D
[17:15] <stueng> network file system
[17:15] <specijalac> just kidding :P
[17:15] <OerHeks> !wtf > stueng
[17:16] <stueng> ok wth... I start xbmc as normal user its sluggish. I start as root its fast ?  <-- anyone :)
[17:16] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  no... on which should i give it. client or server. and by the way i am unable to view the contents now. and nautilus says unable to mount share folder.
[17:17] <stueng> newbie: why are you using samba, do yo uhave windows machines that need to access this ?
[17:17] <bazhang> stueng, no need repeat every two minutes
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  the machine that the user is connecting to needs to be setup for a samba password for them to login with.
[17:17] <stueng> bazhang: I removed the swear word
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  i set up both machines the same way. since i could be going either direction
[17:17] <newbie> stueng,  no. some one just told me that its easier to setup. and i might have a windows client later on.
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  if you use the on the fly share creation fature of nautilus, you can make guest accessable shares.. or set a password.
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> i always set my users samba password to be same as their login. ;) but im lazy
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> same as their login password i mean.
[17:19] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  ok so i should do sudo smb passwd -a :the username of?" ?
[17:19] <TML> do you guys handle ubuntu one at all?
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> newbie:   the server has an identical user as the connecting machine?  whatever user name you want to use on the server and will be entering.
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> TML:  they have the #ubuntuone channel. or was it #ubuntu-one
[17:20] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  i did the same thing. enable guest accesable shares by nautilus but now it doesnt even shows the contents. at first it was but not accepting password. or i should say letting me in
[17:20] <TML> Dr_Willis: Thanks
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  i rarely use the nautilus feature. i normally edit the smb.conf file and enable home shares, and then give the users samba passwords.  so all their home files are allready shared.
[17:20] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  ya.. both users of both machins have the same name. how did you know?
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  so give both users the same samba password.
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> on both machines. ;)
[17:21] <newbie> ok. complete command ?
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> smb passwd -a :the username of?
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> its sudo smbpasswd
[17:22] <newbie> k
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> -a is for 'add/create' a password
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc
[17:22] <chaotix> hello.  i run dual boot with ubuntu 10.04 and windows xp.  i just stupidly downloaded a virus by mistake inside of windows thinking it was a rainmeter skin from deviantart.   i am almost positive it was a virus because inside of the compressed file instead of what i was supposed to get, i got an executable file.  i tried to delete the whole kit-n-caboodle, but was told i could not as the program was currently in use.  i immed
[17:22] <chaotix> iately restarted into Ubuntu, and here I am.  My two questions are:  1.)  Can my Ubuntu partition be hacked/cracked/corrupted by this? and 2.)  I read a few times that clam av was a good tool to use to clean up my windows partition from ubuntu, would you recommend this, or an alternative action from within ubuntu? or should i just handle this prob from windows?
[17:23] <nemo> Has anyone at all successfully gotten eclipse to launch in 12.04?
[17:23] <chaotix> any help would be much appreciated as my situation is urgent, thanks in advance
[17:23] <nemo> I've been trying on and off for a couple of days now
[17:23] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  username is the username of both machins . that is bob in my case
[17:23] <nemo> chaotix: virus cleaning from ubuntu is a common tactic
[17:24] <nemo> chaotix: clamav is a good start, although like any virus detection software, it won't get all of it.  you'll probably want to install a registry editor too.
[17:24] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  right ?
[17:24] <nemo> chaotix: to clean up reg keys and find reg keys pointing to evil stuff.
[17:24] <fccf> chaotix: your ubuntu system is safe from damage, you can delete that file from within ubuntu, you may not have actually been attacked if you didn't actually extract the .exe
[17:24] <nemo> the way you got the virus implies you need to be a lot more careful in windows. maybe you should use virtualbox
[17:24] <nemo> fccf: program currently in use implies he launched it...
[17:25] <sirriffsalot> Hey! Is there a way to check how many turns a second my hard disk is running at in Ubuntu?
[17:25] <fccf> nemo: actually, the compressed file could not be deleted, because the decompression program hadn't finished looking at,
[17:26] <gmcinnes> sad trombone. Just did "do-release-upgrade -d" to go from 10.04 to 12.04 and when I rebooted at the end of the process, I'm dumped at a grub prompt with no linux kernels listed :(  Any ideas?
[17:26] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  it says unable to mount windows share
[17:26] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: hdparm -i /dev/sdx
[17:27] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: or my I (capital i ) for more info
[17:27] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: äh -I I mean
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  did it ask for a username/pass?   you could enter the full path to the share in nautilus's  address bar..   ctrl-L then -> smb://server.ip.number/sharename
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  and to make things easier.. dont ever use spaces in share names. ;)
[17:28] <nemo> fccf: that's one possible explanation sure :)
[17:28] <nemo> fccf: 'scuse me for being more paranoid about a system that I'm not in front of...
[17:28] <chaotix> okay...
[17:28] <nemo> fccf: and a user who clearly isn't too cautious ;)
[17:28] <chaotix> i will delete first
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> sirriffsalot:  'turns a second' ? you mean the RPM?
[17:29] <elspuddy> iv just made a image of a mac hard drive useing dd, iv found the command i want to use but i kow a mac hard drive is not ext4, what do i mount the image as ?
[17:29] <falematte> hi all, after in installed ubuntu 12.04 64 bit iall woked fine with flash on chrome, then i installed adobe flashplugin and i get the settings menu freezed in the video. How to restore the initial setup? Thanks
[17:29] <JessicaW> I'm having an argument with a windows person. He says he's found a software that will do on the fly incremental disk imaging on ov our ubuntu boxes. I've always been told this isn't possible yet I'm having trouble finding documentation to verify this. Can you image a *nix system on the fly?
[17:29] <wilee-nilee> chaotix, clam only finds stuff not a remover and will show false positives. There a number of good av apps that are bootable
[17:29] <samba35> i have some doc files with .gz how do i add then to normal man pages
[17:29] <chaotix> okay wilee-nilee
[17:30] <chaotix> i hope i dont have to reinstall windows it took me all night and i was almost at where i wanted it to be
[17:30] <chaotix> as far as drivers and customization
[17:30] <chaotix> but i should have been more careful...  i use deviantart all the time and i used to love rainmeter when i had windows
[17:30] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  it did asked and i gave one. and it keeps asking again and again and not let me in
[17:31] <samba35> or is there any way to use .gz files
[17:32] <newbie> what could be wrong
[17:32] <falematte> hi all, after in installed ubuntu 12.04 64 bit iall woked fine with flash on chrome, then i installed adobe flashplugin and i get the settings menu freezed in the video. How to restore the initial setup? Thanks
[17:32] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  what could be wrong. mounting problem or permision problem
[17:33] <wilee-nilee> chaotix, here is a list, most IT guys would say a reinstall so be careful it depends on the level of infection if there is one.  http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootable-antivirus-rescue-cds-download-list/
[17:33] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  and i am giving computer name instead of ip name
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  try the ip # ?
[17:34] <samba35> if i use gunzip i am able to extract individual file but how do i extract all file and add to system /man pages
[17:34] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  how do i know my ip
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  look on teh server and its ifconfig command
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  perhaps the smbtree or findsmb command may show it also
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> I use static ips so i know all my servers ip #'s ;)
[17:35] <mishahu> hai
[17:37] <falematte> hi all, after in installed ubuntu 12.04 64 bit iall woked fine with flash on chrome, then i installed adobe flashplugin and i get the settings menu freezed in the video. How to restore the initial setup? Thanks
[17:37] <chaotix> so one last thing guys,  would i be better off booting back into win now and using my virus scanner or scanning from ubuntu?  my win virus scanner is a free one called avira(?)...   would i be better off using ubuntu and getting one from the repo's?
[17:37] <gmcinnes> anyone able to help with a 12.04 upgrade issue?
[17:37] <sirriffsalot> faglnar: hey! Saw your reply just now. Ran the command and got some text, what should I be looking for?
[17:37] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  did that but same problem. do i need to reboot. what could be the problem. i can see the shares but cant get in
[17:38] <chaotix> yeah its called avira
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  no idea. I dont fight wiath samba much any more.  for a linux to linux box id just use sshfs
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  you could try restarting the samba service on both machines i guess.
[17:39] <chaotix> and if i wasted anyones time here by being careless...  i guess i just kinda forgot about viruses a little bit
[17:39] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  ill reboot
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  also i tend to edit the smb.conf and enable the homes share feature.  i rarely use the user-controlled-shares
[17:39] <chaotix> and so i apologize
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> chaotix:  for best AV hunting.. its  a good idea to use several AV apps. ;)
[17:40] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  hmm. i was trying to share a partition that is to be mounted each time i reboot. (it is mounted by the way.)
[17:40] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: something with rpm values or power states. wait i'll look on mine
[17:40] <chaotix>  thanks Dr_Willis...  and everyone...   bye
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  you will want to have that partion mounted via fstab most likely. Otehrwise it wont be shared untill the user logs in.. and what FS is the partition?
[17:41] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: nope i faild, it doenst show
[17:42] <newbie> Dr_Willis, the partition that is to be shared is ntfs (windows files system)
[17:43] <cristian_c> Hi
[17:43] <cordoval> gnome-settings process taking 100% and burning my laptop
[17:43] <cordoval> what do i do>
[17:43] <cordoval> ?
[17:43] <cordoval> what is wrong with ubuntu 12.04?
[17:43] <FloodBot1> cordoval: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:43] <cordoval> cannot kill it
[17:43] <cristian_c> How can I activate pinch gesture on my touchpad in ubuntu?
[17:44] <cristian_c> there is this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11300/how-do-i-test-multi-gesture-capabilities-of-a-touchpad
[17:44] <cristian_c> but I don't know how I can use it
[17:44] <cordoval> why gnome-settings-daemon runs at 104% melting down my costly laptop?
[17:45] <cristian_c> Which set-prop have I to use to activate pinch?
[17:45] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: i once had a drive which showed 1 of 3 spin states in hdparm but the ones i have now dont show
[17:45] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  how do i edit fstab. what do i need to chang
[17:46] <cordoval> i have reached 82C on my processor thanks to gnome-settings-daemon that i cannot kill, how to fix this?
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> !fstab
[17:47] <OerHeks> cordoval, change settings back, likely the issue
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  shareing a ntfs/vfat may require some extra options in the fstab file also. been a while since i shared a ntfs/vfat
[17:47] <cordoval> I have not changed any settings
[17:47] <cordoval> OerHeks: how come should i change settings, my processor is melting hurry else it will sure disconnect me
[17:47] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  hmm. so difficult thing.
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  rather trivial actually...
[17:48] <sirriffsalot> faglnar: so I can't tell with the command you gave?
[17:48] <OerHeks> cordoval, hurry?
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  but it depends on what thing you are talking about.
[17:48] <OerHeks> why?
[17:48] <cordoval> please hurry yes OerHeks
[17:48] <newbie> i hope there would be an easy guide on net to find

[17:50] <tuser> i lost my partion table, i'm trying to restore it
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  so i would make fstab mount it at boot.  then edit the smb.conf to make it shared by the system. not a user.
[17:51] <sirriffsalot> faglnar: this is the output http://pastebin.com/eLrqcStF ... :)
[17:51] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  hm. i see theres not fstab command in terminal. strange
[17:51] <cxe215c> a
[17:52] <Sidewinder> falematte, How 'bout just completely removing adobe flashplugin? Just a guess..
[17:52] <tuser> hi all. sorry to bother but i need urgent help with testdisk, any testdisk user?
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  not at all. there is no fstab command...
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> !fstab | newbie
[17:52] <Sidewinder> !details | tuser
[17:52] <newbie> Dr_Willis, oh ok
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  the ntfs-config tool Might setup a proper fstab entry for that filesystem. i do it by hand normally
[17:53] <tuser> i just need some help with testdisk, i never used it before
[17:53] <tuser> i lost my partiton table, testdisk gives me: "Partition sector doesn't have the endmark 0xAA55"
[17:53] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: is it the output of hdparm -I     (minus capital I)
[17:53] <tuser> i'm just trying to fix it but i don't want to make things worst
[17:54] <tuser> i'd like an help on the procedure to recover it
[17:54] <sirriffsalot> faglnar: no, that's the output of hdparm -i /dev/sda
[17:54] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  how do you know the uids by the way
[17:54] <bazhang> !blkid | newbie
[17:55] <faglnar> sirriffsalot:  hdparm -I /dev/sdx    (minus capital I) is more verbose
[17:55] <ZarathustraDK> Anybody know if it's possible to get Landscape without a subscribing to a support-contract?
[17:55] <sirriffsalot> faglnar: with "hdparm -i" I just see a lot of command options for hdparm...
[17:56] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: i mean with the drive path after it
[17:56] <cordoval> :'( 80s C my processor help, gnome-settings @ 104% of CPU, what should i do ubuntu?
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> cordoval:  perhaps log out/back in...
[17:57] <cordoval> well problem is recurrent
[17:57] <sirriffsalot> Yes, the output you saw in the pastebay I gave you was hdparm -i /dev/sda/
[17:57]  * Dr_Willis wonders how somthing can be 104%.....
[17:57] <bazhang> ZarathustraDK, contact the landscape people and ask
[17:57] <cordoval> Dr_Willis: ubuntu makes us wonder
[17:59] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: but instead of "minus small i" do "minus capital i"
[17:59] <sirriffsalot> faglnar: oh, now I see what you meant, haha:)
[17:59] <PedroGomes> Hi, does anyone knows if it is possible to create an empty (or mostly empty) lvm group in a installation based on preseed/partman?
[18:00] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: either you see abstract values for power management behaviour and if lucky the drive reports spinspeed
[18:00] <cordoval> also to change the titlebar buttons i have had to write on my bashrc a line like gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string minimize,maximize,close: kind of ridiculous that it cannot save settings
[18:00] <cordoval> tweak ubuntu does not have these
[18:00] <falematte> hi all, after in installed ubuntu 12.04 64 bit iall woked fine with flash on chrome, then i installed adobe flashplugin and i get the settings menu freezed in the video. How to restore the initial setup? Thanks
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> cordoval:  i think its dconf these days in 12.04 . and there are theme files that hold those settings also if you want to change the default theme to always be a specific way
[18:01] <sirriffsalot> faglnar: anything here? http://pastebin.com/AptXU32P
[18:01] <cordoval> dconf?
[18:01] <cordoval> hmm
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> i think 12.04 changed from gconf to dconf, if i recall the info i read at the webupd8 blog site
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/9867/how-to-switch-window-controls-to-the-left
[18:03] <cordoval> dconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/button_layout --type string minimize,maximize,close: ?

[18:03] <angelo> i have a problem with wireless
[18:03] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  bazhang  no luck with ntfs-config    . iam stuck with unable to share ntfs partition
[18:03] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: Nominal Media Rotation Rate: 7200
[18:04] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: seems like running on full speed
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  you could practice by shareing some Other directory so you know samba is working.  then work on shareing the ntfs. You can edit the fstab by hand,

[18:04] <sirriffsalot> faglnar: wow, that's quick haha:)

[18:07] <sirriffsalot> vekexasia: ok, try running "sudo synaptic"
[18:07] <bakhtiya> Hi. I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on Amazon's EC2. The newest version of python apt-get provides is 2.6.5. Is it possible I can upgrade to 2.6.6 or newer (maybe 2.7.x like 11.04) WITHOUT recompiling everything manually?
[18:07] <vekexasia> i don't want to install compiz :)
[18:07] <coolclick> can I install unbuntu w/  windows installer several times...ie 11.10 and 12.04?
[18:07] <vekexasia> I just want to set up a keyboard shortcut
[18:07] <sirriffsalot> vekexasia: ah. well I just wanted to make sure nothing "compiz-related" is installed in case you wanted to remove everything
[18:08] <sirriffsalot> vekexasia: ok, good luck!
[18:08] <vekexasia> ah lol ok
[18:08] <sirriffsalot> vekexasia: do you know how to do that yourself?:)
[18:08] <vekexasia> sorry
[18:08] <vekexasia> hmm not sure...
[18:08] <sirriffsalot> vekexasia: ok, are you using the unity desktop environment?
[18:08] <vekexasia> I'm in a "Settings" "keyboard" which shows
[18:08] <hairydog> hi everyone!
[18:09] <sirriffsalot> hairydog: ello
[18:10] <hairydog> I have a quick question
[18:10] <Sidewinder> !ask
[18:10] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  ok. now the home folder is not even adding . previously i added atleast ntfs .(despite i couldnt login) any ways. let me see what i can do. see you in some time.
[18:10] <hairydog> I know html/css and am learning javascript, and I'm new to Ubuntu pretty much as far as advanced Ubuntu goes
[18:10] <JessicaW> anyone know how to mount a windows share as read only?
[18:10] <hairydog> my question is, I want to have a website and host it on my own
[18:11] <hairydog> Does anyone know of any good tutorials on how to set my computer up as a web server in Ubuntu? I don't want to set one up in windows because of security
[18:11] <Sidewinder> JessicaW, I don't think linux can set windows permissions; not sure though.
[18:11] <hairydog> or even better, how can I setup a virtual machine as a ubuntu web server?
[18:12] <JessicaW> Sidewinder: I was hoping ro option would work but, won't let you access the directory at all without sudo if i do that.
[18:12] <JessicaW> silly windows...
[18:12] <Zentaur> hello
[18:13] <openvoid_> JessicaW, set windows share to ro on windows machine
[18:13] <Sidewinder> JessicaW, I'd demand my money back. ;-)
[18:13] <Zentaur> i'm trying to add an application to hud. is it possible. i'm sure it is bu how...? :)
[18:13] <JessicaW> openvoid_: yeah... looks like I'll have to. :D
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> Zentaur:  each app has its own .desktop file that defines the app and other settings about the app. make such a file and it should show up in all the menus in the proper places
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> 'its all about the .desktop' files. ;)
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Zentaur: an easy way is to copy one from ~/.config/autostart   as they are a bit simpler
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> example desktop file i made for conky  conky.desktop   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003411/
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> pastebinit startconky.sh
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003413/
[18:18] <hairydog> can anyone point me to a good tutorial on setting up ubuntu as a web server in a virtual machine?
[18:18] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  i can acces /home/bob/documents but when i try to share /home/bob it doenst.
[18:18] <Dr_Willis> put the .desktop files in   ~/.local/share/applications   menus should see them
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> newbie:  i normally edit the smb.conf file to have it make the  special 'home' share. each users home is then shared under the smb://servername/username  share
[18:19] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: um the nominal drive spin rate it could either be the maximum or the current setting
[18:19] <hairydog> :'( nobody likes me
[18:20] <AndreaITPN> hi all
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> hairydog:  install ubuntu in the vm.. any guide should work same as if its a real machine..

[18:20] <bieb> I installed LTSP with Ubuntu 12.04, I have to connect to Active directory, so I installed pbis (Likewise-open's replacement), I am connected to the AD domain, I can run the commands from command line to verify AD (find-user, find-dc, etc) and can ssh into the ltsp server with my AD credentials. BUT.. on the server I can not get login as an AD user, there is no option for it, I see the user that I created when installing Ubuntu, and guest session. There is no
[18:20] <newbie> Dr_Willis,  thanks. but i really have to struge to share the ntfs partition. iam a newbie
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> hairydog: you've waited all of 100 seconds...ever heard of 'patiece'?
[18:20] <ZenMaster> How does one go about seting an enviroment variable?
[18:21] <ZenMaster> For instance, I have to set gbuild as an eviroment variable.
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> ZenMaster:  can be as simple as export FOO=bar  in .bashrc
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> ZenMaster: export gbuild=something
[18:21] <ZenMaster> Dr_Willis: Thank you.
[18:21] <chaotix> hi...  what are the antiviruses that you guys like to use in ubuntu?  i have just installed clamav after getting the git repos and i am currently runnung clamav now but i should diversify
[18:22] <ZenMaster> Gbuild=/path/to/build I need?
[18:22] <hairydog> no ActionParsnip what's patience? :P
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> ZenMaster: if you add it in ~/.bashrc    it willbe set each boot
[18:22] <openvoid_> !antivirus
[18:22] <chaotix> openvoid, i need to scan a different partition
[18:22] <chaotix> thanks for the link
[18:23] <AndreaITPN> I have installed ubuntu on an USB pendrive, the system is quite slow like I suppose, but also when all is loaded the CPU is always >90 in wait I/O status, why? How i can limit the i/o access?
[18:23] <sirriffsalot> faglnar: yeah, but how do you know it is running at max?:)
[18:23] <nemo> So. Has anyone here successfully launched the Eclipse package after upgrading to 12.04?
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> hairydog: remember to bridge the connection to the VM so it is easily accessible
[18:23] <nemo> Appears to be completely broken
[18:23] <ZenMaster> Anyone upgrade to 12.04 LTS on a production server yet? I am afraid to on mine since everything is working at the moment.
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> nemo: tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it
[18:24] <ElEuNaMe> hello!
[18:24] <nemo> ActionParsnip: done
[18:24] <ElEuNaMe> !list
[18:24] <nemo> ActionParsnip: also ran locate and blew away all eclipse files
[18:24] <hairydog> In virtualbox I'm assuming that would be done before the server is started in the settings for network ?
[18:24] <faglnar> sirriffsalot: most drives run either at 5400 or 7200 rpm. only high end drives like wd velociraptor do something like 10000 but i dont think thats doing much benefit
[18:24] <eightieskhild> !air
[18:24] <nemo> ActionParsnip: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/1000272
[18:24] <eightieskhild> anyone know how to get adobe air?
[18:24] <nemo> ActionParsnip: have *you* successfully launched eclipse?
[18:24] <arooni-mobile> hey folks; about to install ubuntu fresh on a new box with a 500gb hard drive. and 8gb of ram  i'm thinking:  / (20gb) ext4... then /home (472gb) ext4 then rest as swap (8gb) ... in this partition order does this sound good?
[18:24] <hairydog> put it as "Bridged Adapter" right ActionParsnip ?
[18:24] <nemo> eightieskhild: ugh. why? :)
[18:24] <schultza> is there a way to upgrade a to a new version of ubuntu without sudo or su?
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> nemo: not something I use
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> hairydog: yes, assuming you use virtualbox
[18:25] <nemo> schultza: boot from a CD
[18:25] <hairydog> yeah
[18:25] <hairydog> I do
[18:25] <nemo> schultza: why. you don't remember your password?
[18:25] <eightieskhild> nemo, I need it for a live chat client at my job
[18:25] <hairydog> also ActionParsnip - do I need ubuntu server edition or can I run it from my desktop version ?
[18:25] <sirriffsalot> faglnar: Ok! Cheers for your help!
[18:25] <nemo> eightieskhild: ick. need to introduce your workplace to XMPP servers :)
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> hairydog: you can run it on either
[18:26] <hairydog> sweet thank you, don't feel like downloading server edition :P
[18:26] <schultza> not the root password
[18:26] <roshan> hello
[18:26] <schultza> or the admin's account password
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> eightieskhild:  there used to be a .deb for it. I recall using it for some radio app. but i cant even rember  the radio apps name
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> schultza: if you have Oneiric, you can boot to the Precise install CD and upgrade that way
[18:26] <ZenMaster> ActionParsnip: The installer I am reading right now says " Ass the build script to your path envrioment variable" That is what we just did right?
[18:26] <schultza> also, is there a way to change the default color scheme of unity?
[18:27] <schultza> ActionParsnip, thanks
[18:27] <roshan> I installed Ubuntu 12.04 today , and I am getting frequent error messages like "Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error "
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> ZenMaster: no, the path is slightly different
[18:27] <roshan> Is it serious
[18:27] <judgen> howdy,, Hiw do i get xinerama to work properly..
[18:27] <judgen> how*
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> roshan: are you fully updated?
[18:27] <roshan> yes
[18:27] <hairydog> Does anyone know the command line to install google chrome on ubuntu 12?
[18:27] <arooni-mobile> hey folks; about to install ubuntu fresh on a new box with a 500gb hard drive. and 8gb of ram  i'm thinking:  / (20gb) ext4... then /home (472gb) ext4 then rest as swap (8gb) ... in this partition order does this sound good?
[18:27] <arooni-mobile> laptop i'm talking about
[18:27] <judgen> hairydog: there is no such thing, but you can use chromium
[18:27] <ZenMaster> ActionParsnip: I am trying to install this Volantis software, and it is having me set these envrioment variables which seams easy. But I have not had to do that. I guess the years of apt-get have made me soft.
[18:27] <dasKreech> Hello can I get some help with a USB ethernet adapter?
[18:27] <roshan> Yesterday, I downloaded the 64 bit iso image, and installed it today and then updated
[18:27] <dasKreech> I've loaded the driver for it (I think) but it resets everytime I get an IP address which also happens to be a recent NM bug
[18:28] <hairydog> ok so sudo apt-get install chromium?
[18:28] <dasKreech>  how can I debug if it's the driver causing the issue?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> judgen: sure there is
[18:28] <judgen> hairydog: I think so
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> hairydog: https://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux

[18:29] <coolclick> Hi, sorry could not find answer for this.  Can I load from windows installer, multi instance of ubuntu... ie 11.10 and 12.04?
[18:29] <schultza> roflol @ auronandace
[18:29] <designbybeck> auronandace: not that chromium
[18:29] <roshan> Does anyone else faces this problem
[18:30] <designbybeck> ha
[18:30] <tracon> Is there a way I can edit which modules are disabled when I suspend my computer?  I do not want my wireless to turn off when I suspend.
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> coolclick:  i dont think wubi can handle differnt installs of ubuntu on the windows side at teh same time
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> roshan: was it a clean installor an upgrde?
[18:30] <auronandace> designbybeck: thats why i pointed out the package name is chromium-browser
[18:30] <roshan> new install
[18:30] <roshan> not an upgrade
[18:30] <designbybeck> ;)
[18:31] <roshan> Also, occassionally, the screen goes blank and hangs, and I have to remove the battery and reboot
[18:31] <hairydog> coolclick, try using virtualbox and setup Ubuntu VMs if you want to run multiple versions
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> roshan: have you tested the RAM?
[18:31] <eightieskhild> Dr_Willis, whats the best way to install java?
[18:31] <roshan> No..
[18:32] <roshan> Do i need to ?
[18:32] <hairydog> ok ActionParsnip call me a noob but what do I do with a .deb file?
[18:32] <coolclick> Dr_Willis:  thanks, for answer.  So should I partition from my 11.10 instance and load 12.04 fresh?
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> roshan: I would
[18:32] <roshan> But, such issues weren't there with the 11.10 version
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> hairydog: double click it....
[18:32] <designbybeck> !deb
[18:32] <hairydog> oh oops
[18:32] <hairydog> I right click > extract here lol
[18:32] <designbybeck> @hairydog
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> coolclick:  i never use wubi and i dont reccomend it.. I always do clean installs.
[18:32] <Wizard> Hi!
[18:32] <Dr_Willis> !java | eightieskhild
[18:33] <designbybeck> Agree with Dr_Willis ...wubi isn't advised
[18:33] <hairydog> oh nice
[18:33] <hairydog> it opens the software center and installs it... pretty sweet
[18:33] <dasKreech> ActionParsnip: the guies ?
[18:33] <hairydog> sorry if I ask stupid questions, I'm a windows guy trying to learn Ubuntu
[18:33] <dasKreech> ActionParsnip: Ah guides
[18:33] <coolclick> hairydog: thanks, i had VM before but rather run on its own.
[18:33] <designbybeck> Yep hairydog how's that for integration! :) makes installing and uninstalling anything pretty nice
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> dasKreech: guides, typo
[18:34] <roshan> ActionParsnip: And if there is no error in with RAM, do you suggest using the 11.10 version?
[18:34] <Heartbeats> Hi, my camera works on cheese but not on other apps or tinychat and cameroid. Can anyone help me with this?
[18:34] <designbybeck> And we're here to help hairydog.... just pay it forward...and teach/show others Ubuntu/Linux and other Open Source Software packages
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> roshan: could report a bug

[18:37] <designbybeck> I don't do much networking stuff these days so I don't know about any of them, just showing you options
[18:37] <dasKreech> ActionParsnip: would you mind if I asked the person with the problem to speak to you?
[18:37] <norbert_> hey all, every time I reboot automounting stops working for a couple of days and then starts working again

[18:39] <dasKreech> ActionParsnip: when you plug it in you get http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003425/ on lsusb
[18:39] <sunitasethi> to ubuntu and windows 7
[18:40] <sunitasethi> i do not have the drivers
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> dasKreech: run:  lsusb   you will see an 8 character hex ID, use it to find guides
[18:40] <sunitasethi> lsusb shows the adapter
[18:40] <Skowron> Hi guys, I need help with setting up one rule in iptables. I have to allow outgoing connections to smtp.google.com on port 465. I tied google for it but can't find anything. Can anybody help me?
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> dasKreech: 067c:1001     search for that online, you may find guides
[18:40] <sunitasethi> ActionParsnip: i did not find much
[18:40] <Frodo> Is anyone here German by coincidence?
[18:41] <bazhang> Skowron, try #netfilter
[18:41] <dasKreech> ActionParsnip: I looked up the adapter and it has a pegasus chipset so I got sunitasethi to run sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/usb/pegasus.ko and they pop up the adapter but it resets everytime an IP is assigned
[18:41] <bazhang> Frodo, #ubuntu-de
[18:41] <sunitasethi> ActionParsnip: how do i start or see pegasus activity?
[18:41] <dasKreech>  ActionParsnip I looked it up and it's a lot of people asking for help with no response so far
[18:41] <hairydog> just read the whole antivirus page in the ubuntu community
[18:41] <Skowron> bazhang - thanks!
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> dasKreech: if you run:    sudo lshw -C network      do you see a network device
[18:41] <hairydog> made my brain grow a littl ebit lol
[18:41] <moes> Ubuntu-10.04..invalid partition table on /dev/sda..wrong signature 5954
[18:42] <dasKreech> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003392/
[18:42] <dasKreech> No sudo but it comes up now with no identifier
[18:42] <sunitasethi> dasKreech:  it is showing as auto ethernet in wired connections.
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> dasKreech: looks like its eth4
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> dasKreech: if you use wicd you will be able to name the interface to use
[18:43] <dasKreech> ActionParsnip: Right but at this point you'll have to talk to sunitasethi
[18:43] <dasKreech> That's as far as I got
[18:44] <judgen> when using amdcccle to use xinerama everything lags something fierce... how do i resolve this?
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> dasKreech: install wicd and you can set eth4 as the wired interface
[18:44] <dasKreech> ActionParsnip: ah one more item is that last night it was showing Carrier Off in the ifconig and NM logs
[18:45] <sunitasethi> ActionParsnip: yes dasKreech made the adapter work
[18:45] <dasKreech> ActionParsnip: walk sunitasethi through
[18:45] <dasKreech> sunitasethi: try sudo apt-get install wicd-kde
[18:45] <dasKreech> !info wicd-kde
[18:46] <sunitasethi> ActionParsnip: i can see the adapter trying to connect with internet..the connection fails
[18:47] <moes>  Ubuntu-10.04..invalid partition table on /dev/sda..wrong signature 5954..How to repair ??
[18:48] <sunitasethi> dasKreech: i can see the adapter trying to make a connection but keeps disconnecting
[18:49] <dasKreech> sunitasethi: can' you pastebin the output of sudo grep -i networkmanager /var/log/syslog ?

[18:55] <Cerrdor> anyone have an ubuntu server setup I can get an account on?
[18:55] <bazhang> jonny, not a warez network, stop that
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> I really wonder what people expect from a list anyway
[18:55] <DJones> jonny: There still won't be any warez here since you asked 2 minutes ago
[18:55] <Cerrdor> lol
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: files they can pull down
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> and what kind of files would they expect from a ubuntu support channel? :)
[18:55] <Cerrdor> maybe a list of topics you can get help on?
[18:56] <StevenR> Dr_Willis: ones with a free license?
[18:56] <Cerrdor> but that would be useless anyway lol
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> we should have the bot send them to a Legally-free book site or somthing.
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: not sure, some host warez etc
[18:56] <sunitasethi> dasKreech: nothing

[18:57] <kulolando> hi, somebody knows where I can find the screenshots of an ubuntu installation?
[18:57] <sunitasethi> dasKreech:  it is already installed
[18:57] <schultza> how do i change this color scheme from the brown/purple to a brighter white/blue or even white/green ?
[18:57] <olri> on 10.04 usb-stick /media mount only root:root, no user write  access, wrong charset, any idea ?
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> kulolando: google images maybe
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> kulolando:  ubuntu.com perhaps.. and look at youtube for unity videos
[18:57] <dasKreech> ActionParsnip: can you help sunitasethi with wicd ?
[18:57] <bazhang> kulolando, there are guides online, try distrowatch.com for links
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> schultza:  try a differnt theme and the myunity tool to select the themes
[18:58] <sunitasethi> dasKreech: there are 3 wired connections here ActionParsnip
[18:58] <Captain_Proton> kulolando, http://www.computer-howto.com/2012/05/installing-ubuntu-1204-desktop-step-step/
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> dasKreech: its a gui app as well as a GUI app, if you enter the settings and name the device (if it doesn't pickup)
[18:58] <kulolando> I mean: I made some screenshots of an installation but I don't know in which folder they are keeped
[18:58] <schultza> ah, nvrmd.. found one i like
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> kulolando: what app did you use?
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: myunity doesn't work in Quantal yet :(
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> olri:  you mean filesystems getting mounted in /media? ntfs/vfat filesystems?
[18:59] <kulolando> just the default key for that in the keyboard
[18:59] <hairydog> ok
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  im going to skip that release just because it has a silly name. ;)
[18:59] <dasKreech> sunitasethi: alt+F2 -> wicd-kde I guess ?
[18:59] <hairydog> so ubuntu 12 iso can fit on a cd right? or do I have to burn to dvd?
[19:00] <Dr_Willis> hairydog:  it has a cd image.
[19:00] <sunitasethi> dasKreech: it does not show mcuh
[19:00] <dasKreech> Dr_Willis: You'd love Fedora
[19:00] <nemo> ActionParsnip: FWIW, updated bug w/ fix from eclipse linux channel. Old bad SWT libraries that needed a dpkg purge
[19:00] <sunitasethi> dasKreech: i has this info before
[19:00] <hairydog> I just downloaded Fedora dasKreech what is the main difference between it and ubuntu?
[19:00] <kulolando> in other distributions, for example in Mageia, the screenshots are kepped in /root/screenshots (or something like that), in Ubuntu I don't know where are the screenshots after the installation
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: its runnning freakily well.
[19:01] <dasKreech> sunitasethi: aand what happened?

[19:10] <harris> but cant you help me now
[19:10] <harris> ...........helo
[19:10] <harris> hello
[19:11] <hairydog> ok so I did sudo apt-get install nagios3
[19:11] <hairydog> installed nagios and was able to hit the nagios webpage at http://localhost/nagios3
[19:11] <hairydog> where are the config files on my system so I can edit what hosts to monitor and put in the IP addresses?
 can you help me
[19:11] <hairydog> I might
[19:11] <hairydog> I'm a noob :P
[19:11] <hairydog> but if it is something easy then maybe
[19:12] <harris>  when i go to network manager ... there is no enable network button
[19:12] <hairydog> ahh sorry I have no experience there
[19:12] <hairydog> I'm new to Ubuntu
[19:13] <harris>  when i go to network manager ... there is no enable network button
[19:13] <david__> if I have two hard drives and I want to install Linux onto One of them only do I click "install linux alongside windows" OR "install linux on the entire disk and all infomation will be erased" ?
[19:13] <harris>  when i go to network manager ... there is no enable network button how do i get tgat
[19:13] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, /etc/nagios3/conf.d/
[19:14] <AzizLight> Hi everybody
[19:14] <escott> harris, what does "rfkill list" on the command line say
[19:14] <glioros> how to find out the blocked ips of my server?
[19:14] <adamand> glioros, iptables -L
[19:14] <AzizLight> I just installed Ubuntu's Guest Additions for VirtualBox but the new resolutions don't appear in the displays settings... how can I make my screen smaller please?
[19:15] <glioros> adamand: there is no ip when running this command. Does this mean that I have no blocked ip addresses ?
[19:15] <david__> if I have two hard drives and I want to install Linux onto One of them only do I click "install linux alongside windows" OR "install linux on the entire disk and all infomation will be erased" ?
[19:16] <escott> david__, you probably want the second (assuming disk2 is empty) but be sure you pick the correct disk
[19:16] <hairydog> AzizLight, when you resize the window it should automatically adjust the resolution
[19:16] <schnuffle1> glioros: normally not except you block "all" traffic
[19:16] <david__> what if disk two has a linux os on it already
[19:16] <david__> ?
[19:16] <hairydog> thank you Captain_Proton
[19:16] <escott> david__, do you want to destroy that install?
[19:17] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, np
[19:17] <AzizLight> hairydog: ah I see, thanks a lot
[19:17] <harris> escott
[19:17] <david__> well I would like to replace it with another linux install
[19:17] <hairydog> you're welcome
[19:17] <david__> in other words overwrite it with a new install
[19:17] <harris> rfkill brings up 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
[19:17] <harris> 	Soft blocked: no
[19:17] <harris> 	Hard blocked: no
[19:18] <schultza> !pastebin | harris
[19:18] <Captain_Proton> glioros, what are you trying to do. protect from hack attacks?
[19:18] <escott> harris, but you dont see the wireless lan in the network gui?
[19:18] <dontknow> consciousness
[19:19] <harris> what is the network gui
[19:19] <glioros> Captain_Proton: To see if my server blocked me. Basically I cannot access the box of my server and 2 other websites. I can access other websites. My ISP argue they didnt blocked them, and the hosting company that everything is ok.
[19:19] <david__> if I do the second option would I still be able to chose between windows and linux at boot even though I chose not to install alongside windows??
[19:19] <zigi> Hi, someone who knows, who administers server changelogs.ubuntu.com?
[19:20] <escott> harris, when you click on the network icon in the ?upper right? does it not list the wireless
[19:20] <glioros> Captain_Proton: even with tracert i get that unable to connect to the target system
[19:20] <adamand> glioros, what exactly are you trying to access on your server?
[19:20] <adamand> glioros, port or service
[19:20] <escott> david__, if the ubuntu disk is the boot disk yes. if the windows disk is the boot disk you would either have to change the boot order or install grub on the windows disk
[19:21] <waza-ari> hey all, is there a UPNP Client for ubuntu which also advertises itself on the network?
[19:21] <glioros> adamand: service. I cannot access the cpanel and one website of the server. all the other websites are accessible.
[19:21] <harris> only wired connect with disconnect
[19:21] <Captain_Proton> glioros, did you install fail2ban or anything like that
[19:21] <harris> vpn connections
[19:21] <glioros> Captain_Proton: no
[19:21] <harris> enabling networking with a check
[19:21] <harris> connection information
[19:21] <escott> harris, then go to the preferences and see what it says on the wireless tab
[19:22] <harris> how do you get to prefrences
[19:22] <adamand> glioros, is your server behind a DSL line at home or at the colocation facility, a VM in the cloud, whatnot?
[19:22] <glioros> Captain_Proton : and in addition I cannot access the website of the hosting company. I called them and they argued that I am not on their blacklist. webfusion.co.uk is it accessible for you?
[19:22] <escott> harris, that menu should have a settings or preferences option
[19:23] <hairydog> ok so I can't edit the .cfg files and save them because they require permission from another user my main ubuntu account isn't the user who created the files
[19:23] <harris> it only has edit connections
[19:23] <hairydog> I know there is a way to switch it to this user using terminal, does anyone know what that command is?
[19:23] <glioros> adamand: I am behind a dsl company. The server is behind webfusion.co.uk hosting company. I cannot access the server and their website.
[19:23] <escott> harris, ok then that
[19:23] <harris> ok
[19:23] <glioros> Home I am using a dsl. The first sentence is wrong
[19:23] <harris> it has nothing
[19:24] <Captain_Proton> glioros, yes
[19:25] <nemo> So. Continuing my "trying to learn to live with Unity" - how does one make a custom launcher in unity? I have an app that happens to show up in the app list, but clicking on it does nothing which makes me think a bad .desktop file somewhere (unfortunately there's no context menu to remove/edit)
[19:25] <nemo> I'd make a new shortcut but there is no "create launcher" context menu anywhere that I can find...
[19:25] <glioros> Captain_Proton; what do you mean by yes?
[19:25] <escott> !info alacarte | nemo
[19:25] <nemo> kind of weird actually. even windows lets you do that
[19:25] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, put sudo infront of vim or nano
[19:25] <nemo> escott: oh. alacarte still works in unity? cool
[19:26] <nemo> optional. heh. eh. fine.
[19:26] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, they are owned by root
[19:26] <escott> nemo, it should
[19:26] <harris> escott it was blank
[19:26] <nemo> escott: wish they hadn't gotten rid of "create launcher" though :(
[19:26] <escott> harris, blank how?
[19:26] <Captain_Proton> glioros, yes I can get to the there site
[19:26] <harris> there was no wireless connections
[19:26] <harris> in the box
[19:26] <glioros> Captain_Proton: I can get to the site using a proxy as well. With my normal internet connection I cannot.
[19:27] <escott> harris, have you dont anything to modify files in /etc
[19:27] <hairydog> Captain_Proton, using nano how do I edit and save?
[19:27] <glioros> My isp argue that they havent block it and webfusion argued that they didnt blocked me
[19:27] <hairydog> I was trying to open with text editor
[19:27] <hairydog> the gui one not terminal
[19:27] <harris> what do you mean
[19:27] <escott> harris, have you modified any files in /etc?
[19:27] <glioros> Captain_Proton; so one of them it seems lying?
[19:27] <harris> no
[19:27] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, sudo nano /etc/nagios3/config.d/whatever
[19:27] <hairydog> i got it open
[19:27] <hairydog> I just don't know how to edit and save the file now
[19:27] <nemo> escott: interesting. fixed the bad path in alacarte, and the unity launcher still doesn't work - I guess it isn't aware of the change yet
[19:27] <harris> i dont even know how to get to that
[19:28] <hairydog> lol
[19:28] <BlouBlou> is there any program to send twits without the need of using firefox, loging...?
[19:28] <escott> nemo, you probably need to logout
[19:28] <harris> escott
[19:28] <harris> are you there
[19:28] <Captain_Proton> glioros, something is wrong, my guess would be ISP doing something
[19:28] <ThePendulum> Greetings
[19:28] <escott> harris, im not sure why network manager isn't seeing the wireless. i assume it appears in iwconfig?
[19:29] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, try this http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/reu/nano.html
[19:29] <adamand> glioros, I'm not sure I understand what the problem is. do you have shell access at the server or is it completely unreachable from your home?
[19:29] <ThePendulum> I have Windows installed on an SSD, and I'd like to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7. However, for some reason, the Ubuntu LiveCD thinks the SSD is completely empty
[19:29] <harris> escott it says when i ran that code lo        no wireless extensions.
[19:29] <harris> eth0      no wireless extensions.
[19:29] <glioros> adamand: I have shell access. Is there any way from the shell to check if my ISP is blocking the server ?
[19:29] <nemo> escott: bleah. you'd think they'd just link to the existing launcher. even dragging to the panel doesn't trigger any kind of check :-/
[19:30] <harris> but it works on the same computer in vista mode
[19:30] <escott> harris, but didnt rfkill list show the wireless lan, or is that perhaps a bluetooth adapter?

[19:31] <escott> ThePendulum, what does sudo parted -l /dev/sdX say?
[19:31] <harris> sorry
[19:31] <adamand> glioros, what would the ISP block in this case? if you are able to access via shell, then there is network connectivity
[19:31] <ThePendulum> escott: Is that a lowercase L or a capitcal i?
[19:31] <nemo> Another super-annoying behaviour that seems to have started in 12.04.  If I copy from an alert or popup or whatever, and then close it, my paste buffer is cleared
[19:31] <escott> ThePendulum, :
[19:31] <escott> ThePendulum, L
[19:32] <ThePendulum> Ah, okay
[19:32] <adamand> glioros, are you trying to launch a web server ?
[19:32] <nemo> I have to leave the dialog open while pasting or I lose my data.  This is in both XFCE4 and Unity.
[19:32] <vekexasia> why the hell i have ubuntu in chinese?  LOL
[19:32] <harris> escott
[19:32] <harris> i need thw answer in 10 minutes
[19:32] <nemo> Also seems to be regardless of whether I use ctrl-c or X paste (mouse select)
[19:32] <glioros> adamand: no. the webserver is running properly. But I cannot access certain websites from http
[19:32] <ThePendulum> escott: Warning: /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.
[19:32] <ThePendulum> However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.

[19:32] <ThePendulum> msdos partition table.  Is this a GPT partition table?
[19:32] <FloodBot1> ThePendulum: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:32] <escott> !attitude | harris
[19:33] <escott> harris, what does "rfkill list" say?
[19:33] <ThePendulum> FloodBot1: That was all in one line here...?
[19:33] <adamand> glioros, from the server, what happens if you do tracepath www.webfusion.co.uk? or any other site that you are "unable to access"
[19:33] <harris> 0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
[19:33] <harris> 	Soft blocked: no
[19:33] <harris> 	Hard blocked: no
[19:33] <escott> ThePendulum, so a gpt partition usually has a protective MBR that is meant to cover the entire disk. that is the first part of the parted complaint
[19:34] <ThePendulum> And the second part?
[19:34] <nemo> Hm. Another sucky thing.  I'm running both system firefox and nightly firefox in separate profiles.  This appears to completely befuddle Unity.
[19:34] <escott> harris, how about sudo lshw -C network
[19:35] <nemo> clicking the system Firefox icon focuses the nightly. And it will only show the nightly window, not the system firefox windows
[19:35] <nemo> I'm thinking the only way to fix will probably be to use alacarte to make a separate nightly firefox launcher
[19:35] <escott> ThePendulum, you never pasted the second part (ie does parted show a partition layout or not)
[19:35] <nemo> *grumble*friggenunity*grumble*
[19:35] <ThePendulum> escott: What would you like me to paste? All GParted shows is 60GBs of unallocated space
[19:36] <harris> escott i pasted it here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003559/
[19:36] <escott> ThePendulum, so parted doesnt show a partition table at all? There is a tool gdisk that you might use to see what the gpt and mbr partitions look like
[19:36] <escott> !broadcom | harris
[19:37] <ThePendulum> escott: GParted is able to recognize it has a GPT partitioning table, but that's about it
[19:37] <escott> harris, you probably just need to run "jockey-gtk" and install the broadcom drivers
[19:37] <nemo> escott: fwiw. didn't require reboot. path was still wrong. just took me a little bit to verify it due to workingaround/ranting 'bout the copy/paste flaw.
[19:38] <ThePendulum> escott: For some reason, I can't install applications on this LiveUSB
[19:38] <cody_> !!!!
[19:38] <cody_> HIII!!
[19:38] <cody_> WHATS UP PEEPS!!
[19:38] <cody_> :D
[19:38] <harris> so i did that and enabled the driver
[19:38] <ThePendulum> cody_: I beg your pardon? Behave dude, you're not 12 are you?
[19:38] <harris> so do i have to restart
[19:38] <cody_>  what the heck... that was my son miss behaving... i apologize..
[19:39] <escott> harris, you shouldnt have to restart, but if the module wasnt automatically probed restarting should get it probed
[19:39] <OerHeks> harris yes, after restart the BCM driver is working
[19:39] <ThePendulum> cody_: I find that hard to believe, just make sure it doesn't happen again
[19:39] <cody_> anyway, i came here for help
[19:39] <escott> ThePendulum, you can just install it to ram
[19:39] <ThePendulum> escott: What exactly do you mean?
[19:39] <escott> ThePendulum, sudo apt-get install gdisk does what?
[19:40] <ThePendulum> escott: Basically E: Unable to locate package gdisk
[19:40] <ThePendulum> Tip to run apt-get update
[19:40] <killer1> i have a file whose owner is root ...how to change it to normal user
[19:40] <cody_> Hello? i came here for help and what do i get? people yelling at me.
[19:40] <cody_> Im' starting to hate ubuntu...
[19:40] <ThePendulum> cody_: You may want to ask your question so we can help you...
[19:40] <escott> !info gdisk | ThePendulum
[19:40] <escott> ThePendulum, add the extra repos and apt-get update
[19:41] <ThePendulum> escott: When I run apt-get update, it terminates and tells me to run apt-get update to fix it...
[19:41] <ThePendulum> cody_: Why are you hating Ubuntu?
[19:41] <cody_> Ok, so i have 3 ubuntu computers and whenever i use one of them is always randomly shuts down...
[19:41] <cody_> it happens all the time!
[19:41] <Captain_Proton> cody_, just on one or all of hem
[19:41] <cody_> i have no idea why. and i checked the hibernation and all that...
[19:41] <ThePendulum> cody_: That seems like a hardware problem
[19:41] <cody_> just on of them
[19:42] <cody_> ahh
[19:42] <OerHeks> cody_, open the cover and blow away the dust
[19:42] <Captain_Proton> cody_, when it shut off can you restart it and it will run fine or will it shut down again
[19:42] <cody_> ok, ill try that, any more suggestions before i go?
[19:42] <ThePendulum> cody_: Do you get any errors, or just a plain shutdown?
[19:42] <cody_> just a plain shutdown
[19:43] <cody_> it says " going to sleep"
[19:43] <schultza> have you checked power options?
[19:43] <ThePendulum> ^
[19:43] <cody_> yes i have...
[19:43] <harris> escott that didnt work
[19:43] <judgen> Is there a ubuntu theme for kdm that actually looks like ubuntu (purple and orange)
[19:43] <hairydog> wow
[19:43] <hairydog> this window
[19:43] <ThePendulum> cody_: Can you assure that you are not leaning on any keys on your keyboard when it happens?
[19:43] <hairydog> is in the taskbar
[19:43] <hairydog> i can't drag the top
[19:43] <hairydog> so I can't move it
[19:43] <FloodBot1> hairydog: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:44] <Captain_Proton> cody_, what vrs of Ubuntu you running
[19:44] <hairydog> or close it
[19:44] <cody_> hmm, that could be possible...
[19:44] <cody_> um, let me check
[19:44] <guntbert> killer1: what file is that?
[19:45] <hairydog> hey guys, what is the ubuntu equivalent of the windows cmd command "ipconfig"
[19:45] <ThePendulum> hairydog: ifconfig
[19:45] <hairydog> thank you
[19:45] <ThePendulum> hairydog: That will probably get you the information you need ;) np
[19:45] <harris> escott are you there
[19:45] <escott> harris, yes
[19:46] <harris> i didnt work
[19:46] <hairydog> ahh
[19:46] <hairydog> it's not showing my ip address
[19:46] <cody_> i have to go. thanks for your help!
[19:46] <ThePendulum> cody_: When you go to System Settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts (tab) -> System (listed item), you can see what keys may sh... bye
[19:46] <harris> i still have the same problem
[19:47] <hairydog> oh wait, it is showing my IP address... but it's not letting me ping
[19:47] <ThePendulum> hairydog: The IP address of your computer, or your external address?
[19:47] <ThePendulum> hairydog: Your computer is 'inet addr'
[19:47] <hairydog> trying to find the local ip not the internet address
[19:47] <harris> escott.....
[19:47] <hairydog> I'm looking for the private IP address 192.168.xxx.xxx
[19:47] <ThePendulum> hairydog: Look for 'inet addr: ***.***.***.***'
[19:48] <escott> harris, what does it say in lshw -C network now?
[19:48] <aartist> hairydog: ifconfig | grep inet
[19:48] <ThePendulum> ^
[19:48] <hairydog> under eth0, it's saying <IP_ADDRESS> is my Ip
[19:48] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, ifconfig  will only show the local address
[19:48] <hairydog> but I know that is wrong
[19:48] <ThePendulum> hairydog: Could you throw us a screenshot?
[19:48] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, that is a local address
[19:48] <hairydog> cause my dhcp assigns all Ip to 192.168.xxx.xxx
[19:48] <ThePendulum> Captain_Proton: That's what he's looking for
[19:49] <hairydog> you know what I'm retarded.... It's because I'm using virtualbox
[19:49] <Captain_Proton> lol
[19:49] <hairydog> I haven't bridged the network adapter either
[19:49] <ThePendulum> hairydog: That... yes, that changes the rules a bit
[19:49] <hairydog> brb lol gotta switch to bridged adapter
[19:49] <ThePendulum> ha, good luck
[19:50] <ThePendulum> Why can't I install any applications on my LiveUSB :\
[19:51] <harris> escott i posted it here http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003585/
[19:51] <escott> harris, i dont know much about broadcom, i only buy atheros
[19:51] <harris> so...
[19:52] <escott> harris, so all i can point you to is !broadcom
[19:52] <BluesKaj> !broadcom
[19:52] <hairydog> ok
[19:52] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, can you ping now?
[19:52] <hairydog> new question: how do I set my TCP/IP settings for IPv4 manual on ubuntu?
[19:52] <hairydog> yeah I'm good now, got the 192.168.6 prefix
[19:52] <harris> do who can help me
[19:52] <BluesKaj> hairydog, ip a | grep eth0 , the first IP should be your pc
[19:52] <hairydog> I got it already thanks guys
[19:52] <ThePendulum> :)
[19:53] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, sudo nano /etc/network/interface
[19:53] <hairydog> it's showing the proper private IP Now, just need to set it manually so our firewall doesn't block my internet access
[19:53] <escott> ThePendulum, what message does it give you when you apt-get update
[19:53] <ThePendulum> escott: It says I should apt-get update, lol
[19:53] <Captain_Proton> hairydog, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html
[19:53] <escott> ThePendulum, it says "you should apt-get update, lol"
[19:53] <hairydog> thanks Captain_Proton
[19:53] <harris> escott can you find someone who can help me
[19:54] <escott> !patience| harris
[19:54] <ThePendulum> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1003590/
[19:54] <escott> ThePendulum, I would just fix the indicated duplication error by removing one from sources.list
[19:54] <ThePendulum> escott: How do I go about that?
[19:55] <hairydog> this is weird.... our firewall should block access to the site you linked me to
[19:55] <escott> ThePendulum, modify /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:55] <hairydog> it blocks access to ALL sites except maps.google.com when an IP is in the <IP_ADDRESS>-200 range
[19:55] <hairydog> yet, I'm <IP_ADDRESS> and can access it fine....
[19:55] <ThePendulum> escott: Thanks
[19:55] <ThePendulum> hairydog: 124 is in the 100-200 range to me?
[19:56] <ThePendulum> Oh, block
[19:56] <hairydog> yeah, it should block me
[19:56] <mib_mib> hi guys, i'm having trouble getting ruby 1.9.2 to install - the package is supposedly called ruby1.9.1-full but it is only installing ruby1.9.1 ( see this link http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ ) - i already did sudo apt-get update to update repos - can someone help?
[19:56] <hairydog> but I can access msn.com and the ubuntu pages
[19:56] <hairydog> facebook I can't, youtube I can't
[19:56] <ThePendulum> hairydog: Have you restarted your system ever since setting it all up?
[19:56] <harris> i need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
[19:56] <hairydog> yeah I had to do that in order to set it to bridged network adapter in virtualbox
[19:56] <harris> ugh
[19:57] <hairydog> it lets me load microsoft.com but blocks the site hosting microsoft.com's images and CSS file.... lol basic html layout
[19:57] <escott> !info ruby1.9
[19:57] <aartist> I have connected my system to external display (TV) via HDMI. I can see picture but sound is via laptop only rather than TV
[19:57] <guntbert> harris: you really must be more patient - nobody here owes you anything
[19:57] <harris> does anyone know about broadcom
[19:57] <AzizLight> which is the package name for gvim: vim-gnome or vim-gtk?
[19:58] <Captain_Proton> aartist, did the sound work in windows
[19:58] <harris> i am sorry i am getting paid to fix this computer
[19:58] <harris> and they are getting mad
[19:58] <auronandace> harris: refund them
[19:58] <guntbert> harris: well, we are not getting paid :)
[19:58] <harris> sorry
[19:58] <harris> can you please help me
[19:59] <ThePendulum> What sources should be included in sources.list? I removed some and now apt-get update works, yet no applications are available
[19:59] <BluesKaj> harris, well read the post aimed at you like the one I posted for you a while back , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[19:59] <fabiobik> hi
[19:59] <ThePendulum> harris: I think it's clear to us that you are in need for help, and we will offer help as soon as we can and feel like it
[19:59] <fabiobik> libusb.h not found, use ./configure LIBUSB_CFLAGS=...
[19:59] <ThePendulum> Greetings fabiobik
[19:59] <mib_mib> hi guys - can someone please help me install ruby1.9.2 via apt-get? Supposedly apt-get install ruby1.9.1-full should install 1.9.2 but its not working
[19:59] <fabiobik> where i can find libusb.h_
[20:00] <guntbert> AzizLight: both are - one with gnome the other with gtk --   see /msg ubottu info vim-gnome
[20:00] <hairydog> is the ping command from windows the same in ubuntu?
[20:00] <hairydog> trying to find an open ip
[20:00] <Captain_Proton> harris, is there home on a separate partition? if so just reinstall it choose 3rd party when it installs
[20:00] <escott> harris, so you are getting paid to come to this channel and bug the unpaid volunteers for help. nice racket you have going on there
[20:00] <fabiobik> where i can find libusb.h?
[20:00] <guntbert> hairydog: yes
[20:00] <ThePendulum> hairydog: ping [parameters] [address]
[20:00] <ThePendulum> Yes, basically
[20:01] <GunshipJelly> Hello Ubuntians, former ubuntu user here, back from the dead.    Have a noob question for anyone who feels they have the gusto to answer it.
[20:01] <trism> fabiobik: libusb-1.0-0-dev (in 12.04 anyway)
[20:01] <ThePendulum> GunshipJelly: Continue.
[20:01] <fabiobik> trism: yes but where he live?
[20:01] <guntbert> !ask | GunshipJelly
[20:01] <trism> fabiobik: /usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h
[20:02] <ThePendulum> guntbert: Technically, he anounced a question rather than asking to ask it
[20:02] <harris> Captain_Proton what does that mean
[20:02] <fabiobik> trism thank you
[20:02] <trism> fabiobik: dpkg -L package_name; to list the files in an installed package
[20:02] <Captain_Proton> harris, is it a new install?
[20:03] <harris> jwhat do you mean
[20:03] <GunshipJelly> If i choose the option to use the windows installer to install ubuntu.   Is ubuntu running within windows (meaning it'll run slower and have limitations vs a full clean installation)  or is the computer essentially duel booting the two OSs...?
[20:03] <norbert_> hey all, every time I reboot automounting stops working for a couple of days and then starts working again
[20:03] <trism> mib_mib: which version of ubuntu? and how do you know it is only installing 1.9.1?
[20:03] <Captain_Proton> harris, di you just install it or was it there before you touch it
[20:04] <OerHeks> GunshipJelly, yes, wubi is a nice tryout, but not the real ubuntu experience
[20:04] <ThePendulum> GunshipJelly: I am not sure at all, but I think it's running inside Windows
[20:04] <harris> i installed it
[20:04] <BluesKaj> GunshipJelly, wubi runs within windows
[20:04] <harris> wait no
[20:04] <harris> they installed it
[20:05] <auronandace> GunshipJelly: if you have separate partitions, it is a dual-boot, if not then it is a wubi
[20:05] <Captain_Proton> harris, ok when you installed it it ask to ? one is download updates on install and install restricted extra. did you check these?
[20:05] <ThePendulum> auronandace: Do you happen to know more about dual booting Windows/Ubuntu?
[20:06] <harris> i did not install it
[20:06] <auronandace> ThePendulum: define more :) (i do that yes)
[20:06] <GunshipJelly> well I have a 60gig ssd and terabyte hdd.  Windows 7 is installed on the ssd, and when i used the ubuntu windows installer i installed ubuntu onto the hdd.....does that matter ?  sorry like i said..noob.
[20:06] <harris> it was there before i touched it
[20:06] <Captain_Proton> harris, sorry read that wrong
[20:07] <nyad> hi I can't open a jnlp file but the same file is opening fine under windows. It's very small, here's a link to the pastebin http://pastebin.com/72ibZabM
[20:07] <Captain_Proton> harris, can you back up there stuff and reinstall it connected to the internet. and make sure those boxes are check
[20:07] <auronandace> GunshipJelly: if you use a livecd and launch gparted how many partitions do you see and what types are they?
[20:08] <nyad> It should be opening but I get an error saying that it's an invalid XML file
[20:08] <nyad> wtf
[20:08] <ThePendulum> auronandace: Got a little problem with that, I am seeing no partitions... (I am not GunshipJelly btw)
[20:08] <GunshipJelly> i don't have a live cd. i just went to the ubuntu site and hit install ubuntu with windows.
[20:08] <Captain_Proton> harris, the install takes about 15 min, and if the boxes are check there internet will work after it done
[20:09] <ThePendulum> GunshipJelly: Create one, you may prefer to use a flash drive for it
