[16:59] <bismay> Hello everybody..I want to be an ubuntu app developer . Any suggestions what should I learn and from where should I learn?? Currently I know C and C++ .
[17:00] <auronandace> !text | delinquentme
[17:00] <h22turbo> delinquentme: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" and GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="text"
[17:01] <h22turbo> then update-grub and reboot
[17:01] <alci> bismay: did you look at http://developer.ubuntu.com/
[17:01] <BluesKaj> bismay, join #ubuntu-devel
[17:02] <bismay> ok
[17:03] <trism> bismay: #ubuntu-app-devel for app dev (not #ubuntu-devel)
[17:04] <BluesKaj> plenty of devels to choose from
[17:05] <bismay> ok
[17:07] <delinquentme> h22turbo, naild it! +1
[17:07] <h22turbo> awesome
[17:08] <delinquentme> yeah I was running the GUI everytime for basically a webserver ... that should free up some processing
[17:10] <lessless> is it possible to use aucdtect which requires libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 on 12.04?
[17:12] <WDKevin> I changed my user account from 'Custom' to 'Administrator' and now I can't RDP into Xubuntu. What do I need to do to fix that?
[17:12] <WDKevin> Besides changing my account back to custom.
[17:12] <dr_willis> hmm.. makes me wonder how custome differs from admin.
[17:13] <WDKevin> I'm not entirely sure, but the account was already, what I thought to be, an admin.
[17:13] <WDKevin> It's the only account on the box and the same one I installed it with
[17:13] <lessless> or what are other ways to detect mp3 to flac transcode
[17:13] <dr_willis> there may be some rdp group that got changed
[17:13] <WDKevin> But I was having trouble getting it to function as a domain controller so I made my account an admin instead and now RPD is borked.
[17:14] <sunk8> hi
[17:14] <sunk8> any1 here?
[17:14] <dr_willis> lots of people here
[17:14] <WDKevin> 1719 of us

[17:15] <dr_willis> i hide the list
[17:15] <TJ-> Can someone remind me of the other packages installed with lmsensors for gui monitoring?
[17:15] <BluesKaj> dr_willis, yeah but not by default
[17:16] <dr_willis> tj- nit sure of any that come with it.... byt there are seveal gui tools out for lm sensors info
[17:16] <sunk8> hi

[17:26] <thebishop> any clue when the beta goes live?
[17:27] <Pici> thebishop: when its done
[17:27] <thebishop> Pici, DUDE!
[17:27] <h22turbo> May 24, 2016
[17:27] <delinquentme> So im looking at this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders#Getting_VBoxLinuxAdditions.iso  and according to THIS document ... a vboxsf or vboxfs  ... are NOT recognized " file system types "
[17:27] <theadmin> thebishop: Ask in #ubuntu+1, unstable versions are not discussed nor supported here.
[17:27] <delinquentme> however in ANOTHER ubuntu tutorial: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders#Getting_VBoxLinuxAdditions.iso
[17:28] <delinquentme> they ARE listed ... as accepted types
[17:28] <Pici> thebishop: there is no set time for any of our releases. ISOs need to be tested, etc, so when they're all working to the release manager's satsifaction then the release will be done.
[17:30] <theadmin> delinquentme: vboxsf is the way it works for me, long as the guest additions are installed
[17:30] <theadmin> delinquentme: Also, you linked twice to the same page.
[17:31] <delinquentme> hmm ok maybe I should reinstall the geust additions
[17:31] <delinquentme> oh!
[17:31] <delinquentme> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/mount.8.html
[17:31] <delinquentme> derp derp.
[17:32] <TheDixieRose> anyone got any ideas on how to raise a hdd back from the dead without booting from disk or usb ports?
[17:32] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: define "dead"\
[17:32] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: if the drive is *literally* dead, you're out of luck
[17:32] <jcromartie> my Ubuntu machine is out of space
[17:32] <jcromartie> MV
[17:32] <sunk8> thank you ubottu
[17:32] <jzen> Hello you wonderfully helpful volunteers! Could someone tell me how I would get my system to load startx at boot instead of leaving me at a terminal?
[17:32] <jcromartie> I mean it's a VM
[17:32] <TheDixieRose> can run live cds, just barely though
[17:33] <theadmin> delinquentme: Well, vboxsf is not officially supported by mount, a trick is done by guest additions by placing a binary called "mount.vboxsf" in /usr/bin/ I think.
[17:33] <TLoT> jcromartie: then clear out data folders, or upgrade the VM?
[17:33] <TLoT> jcromartie: if you ran out of space, you've got too much data on teh VM then
[17:33] <jcromartie> TLoT: I can't remove the data :P
[17:33] <jcromartie> I mean I can
[17:33] <jcromartie> but it's necessary
[17:33] <jcromartie> the bulk of it is preallocated MongoDB files
[17:33] <TheDixieRose> tlot, well i have some mobility...can go into bios and run live cd ubuntu
[17:33] <TLoT> jcromartie: then upgrade the VM to the next highest disk space level
[17:33] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: that's not what I asked
[17:34] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: the drive/disk/HDD is separate from BIOS
[17:34] <jrib> jzen: the easiest way would be to use a display manager like lightdm (but this should be default)
[17:34] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: just because you can get to BIOS doesn't mean the HDD isnt physically dead
[17:34] <scubes13> question.. what is the command to run the "System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts" app in Ubuntu/Gnome?
[17:34] <TheDixieRose> right, was just saying these are my only access points into the system
[17:34] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: so boot a LiveUSB
[17:34] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: otherwise, you're kind of SOL
[17:34] <nyRednek> TheDixieRose: 'dead'
[17:35] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: unless you remove the drive and hook it up to a currently-working sytem as a secondary drive
[17:35] <jzen> jrib: lightdm was already installed. :(
[17:35] <theadmin> scubes13: This isn't really the answer, but run alacarte, find that menu entry and look at what it runs.
[17:35] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: but that can invalidate warranties, so...
[17:35] <scubes13> thanks theadmin
[17:35] <TheDixieRose> tlot, hwo would i go about doing that>
[17:35] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: which part?
[17:35] <TheDixieRose> sooooo not worried about warrenties at this point, lol...
[17:35] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: removing the drive and connecting to another system?
[17:36] <TheDixieRose> yes
[17:36] <jrib> jzen: did you disable it?
[17:36] <BluesKaj> TheDixieRose, try the live -media method first either cd or usb stick
[17:36] <TLoT> TheDixieRose: if you don't know how to do that already, you can break things if you start messing around with it, which is why i recommend you only do that *if* you are comfortable messing with the hardware
[17:36] <TLoT> otherwise, start with the LiveUSB
[17:36] <TheDixieRose> it'll fit into my sony viao fine but i'm not sure what do to after that
[17:36] <scubes13> theadmin - "gnome-keybinding-properties" thanks again!
[17:36] <theadmin> scubes13: no problem
[17:37] <TheDixieRose> i have an external hdd but it won't load through the usb port
[17:37] <dynesh> I use a ubuntu 12.04 LTS on dell vostro 1014. my wireless is unable to detect available networks. my wireless driver is AR9285. can someone help me out in this regard
[17:37] <jzen> jrib: no, but reinstalling left me unable to fully load that system. Im trying to use Ubuntu-builder to make an updated Xubuntu w my fav apps
[17:37] <sebersole> after installing opera, per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser , I can no longer do apt-get updates
[17:37] <TheDixieRose> the error msg is realtek something or another
[17:38] <signornessuno> hi, my pc freeze every time i leave it downloading from amule
[17:38] <sebersole> i experienced the same trying to follow along the instructions for setting up oracle repo too
[17:38] <sebersole> is it just somethign wrong in those wikis?
[17:38] <BluesKaj> !who
[17:38] <TLoT> sebersole: what errors are being thrown when you try?
[17:38] <sebersole> no errors
[17:39] <sebersole> it just hangs
[17:39] <jrib> jzen: reinstalling what?  What didn't fully load?
[17:39] <TLoT> did you try waiting a bit to see whether it fixes itself?
[17:39] <sebersole> eventually they timeout
[17:39] <sebersole> 100% [Waiting for headers]
[17:39] <Loof> Is there any way to skip part of a postinst script... specifically I want to upgrade a package on 'boot' and NOT start/restart the service at that time... let it happen later in the boot process
[17:39] <sebersole> is the last bit i see
[17:39] <Loof> This is via apt-get/aptitude
[17:40] <sebersole> `sudi apt-get update`
[17:40] <TLoT> Loof: you'd have to modify the package...
[17:40] <jzen> jrib: the Xubuntu splash comes up, but no longer gives me even a terminal.
[17:40] <sebersole> but even using ui
[17:40] <theadmin> sebersole: The repo's server is down or somehow else unreachable. Third-party repos aren't really supported.
[17:40] <sebersole> "ubuntu software center"
[17:40] <sebersole> same thing
[17:40] <jrib> jzen: reinstalling what?
[17:41] <Loof> TLoT: Ugh, I'm trying to avoid curating my own package(s) for this... is there no other way?
[17:41] <pidginsucks> !ping
[17:41] <Loof> TLoT: This is part of a chef bootstrapping process... I'm using the system chef package... so I want to use that to update the system
[17:41] <sebersole> well not really sure what that means in terms of what ubuntu needs, but the url is def accessible
[17:41] <dynesh> I use a ubuntu 12.04 LTS on dell vostro 1014. my wireless is unable to detect available networks. my wireless driver is AR9285. can someone help me out in this regard
[17:42] <jzen> jrib: sorry for confusion, i aptget installed lightdm, said it was already there, and installed again anyway
[17:42] <Loof> TLoT: However, chef isn't actually configured at that point... so it fails
[17:42] <signornessuno> it just do it another time now f**k off
[17:42] <TLoT> Loof:  the postinst scripts are there usually for good reasons, if a package has them, you should not remove them unless absolutely necessary, and you can only remove them by removing them from the package.  That's part of dpkg's processes, and the format of packages...
[17:42] <sebersole> http://deb.opera.com/
[17:42] <jrib> jzen: what happens after the splash screen?
[17:42] <TLoT> !language | signornessuno
[17:42] <BobHill> dynesh: wicd program?
[17:42] <jrib> signornessuno: please mind your language
[17:43] <signornessuno> ok but someone can help me, i'm going mad
[17:43] <jzen> jrib: oddly, this added several gnome packages not present at the time. After splash, its frozen, [esc] bings list of tasks, like normal boot, but nothing follows. Im sorry, i think my question is too general.
[17:43] <dr_willis> i dident even see the question...
[17:43] <TLoT> signornessuno: when you use foul language like that, nobody *wants* to help you, afaict you're getting annoyed over nothing.  now what're you trying to get help with, you never really asked anytrhing
[17:43] <sergiu> Hello
[17:43] <dynesh> BobHill : i just installed wicd..it isnt working for me..i used the method from this thread - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309072
[17:44] <eman_> hello,  my wifi looses connection randomly, i got a tip to check syslog at the time it happend. Now i have but dont know what to look for ?
[17:44] <signornessuno> dr_willis why my pc crash?
[17:44] <TLoT> signornessuno: could be one of a billion reasons, we'd need more information
[17:44] <dr_willis> signornessuno:   first guess.. hardware failure...
[17:44] <hfic> How can I check my r/w speed for usb?
[17:44] <TLoT> !details | signornessuno\
[17:44] <TLoT> bleh
[17:45] <dynesh> BobHill : each time i get into this RTC, im getting different solutions. but none of them actually worked..can someone really help? or should i re-install it all over again?
[17:45] <pidginsucks> Hi. Can i perfom an test in ubuntu like in windows 7? Calculation per seconds, Video in games etc?
[17:45] <jzen> jrib: thank for your time. I think I need to gather more information before I can come back for help. Goodbye
[17:45] <dr_willis> pidginsucks:  there are benchmark tools for linux
[17:45] <h22turbo> ahh man... new kernel update for 12.04 LTS
[17:45] <pidginsucks> dr_willis thanks ;)
[17:46] <BobHill> dynesh: I had a problem with driver one time so I used NDisWrapper in those times, it was card certified for windows
[17:46] <sebersole> sigh time to fire up fedora then i guess since all these programs put out rpms
[17:46] <Loof> Hmph, it's added by dh_installdeb... it would've been good if that had an env variable to skip the start yet do the rest of postinst
[17:46] <Loof> DPKG_NO_START or something :P :)
[17:46] <theadmin> Loof: Unfortunately, APT is not Portage ;)
[17:47] <dynesh> BobHill : what should i do now? will it fix the issue?
[17:47] <jrib> Loof: you can do that, though I don't remember how
[17:47] <signornessuno> i'm running ubuntu 10.04 whit kernel 3.4.1-030401-generic and always apparently randomly the system crash, the screen freeze, can't give any imput with keyboard or mouse, i try a different kernel, i do all upgrades, try disabling compiz, try look at syslog but can't go out from this problem
[17:47] <BobHill> dynesh: maybe somebody else could help U
[17:47] <Loof> jrib: Neither does the postinst script it seems :P :)
[17:48] <dynesh> BobHill : thank u
[17:48] <Loof> I could let chef 'install itself' but then it does something bogus... it installs a new copy of ruby + gems + chef in /opt/
[17:48] <battlehands> I want to install the lighest, noob friendly linux distro with a gui on my netbook.  I want to be able to do it today.  please advise.
[17:48] <Loof> and runs from there
[17:48] <Loof> I've already preped images with chef client installed... but I need to keep the client in sync with the server
[17:49] <Loof> As far as versions, in any case
[17:49] <TJ-> battlehands: I've been enjoying Lubuntu on my low-power notebooks
[17:49] <dr_willis> battlehands:  depends on your needs.. 'noob friendly' is vague.. tiny corelinux is 10mb for the lightest with desktop.
[17:49] <battlehands> TJ-, by low power, are you referring to processing power or the power supply?
[17:49] <dr_willis> battlehands:  lightest ubuntu vaienr is lubuntu
[17:49] <signornessuno> dr_willis how to exclude hardware problem, i don't have this problem on windows
[17:49] <dynesh> My wifi is unable to detect available networks. help me out. the driver is AR9285
[17:49] <TJ-> battlehands: low CPU ability
[17:49] <dr_willis> signornessuno:  and your video card is?
[17:50] <battlehands> dr_willis please take my vagueness as a indication of my level of proficieny (noob)
[17:50] <dr_willis> battlehands:  go lubuntu then...
[17:50] <TJ-> battlehands: But it does also seem not to stress the battery with unnecessary frills
[17:50] <battlehands> TJ-, okay.  that sounds good.
[17:50] <battlehands> TJ- did you install from dvd or usb?
[17:50] <signornessuno> dr_willis, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[17:51] <dr_willis> there not much need for the ubuntu 'dvd' for most people
[17:51] <TJ-> battlehands: What I like is, it's still part of the Ubuntu family with access to everything the big bad CPU/GPU guzzling Unity desktop :)
[17:51] <TJ-> battlehands: First one, I did a debootstrap side-by-side... for the others, a network install from a PXE server
[17:52] <TJ-> battlehands: a USB stick with the ISO CD image on it is simplest for you I'd think
[17:52] <dr_willis> signornessuno:  id try out 12.04 and see if it runs better. theres been a lot of work done on intel drivers and other stuff in the new releases
[17:52] <TJ-> battlehands: It depends on whether those systems will boot from USB ... older devices sometimes won't
[17:52] <jrib> Loof: I *think* you need to read /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.policy-rc.d.gz
[17:53] <signornessuno> dr_willis, can do upgrade-dist or i must do a fresh install?
[17:53] <dr_willis> signornessuno:  i always do clean installs
[17:53] <dr_willis> less problems that way
[17:53] <unperson> Hi.  I'm wondering if anyone here has run this game Diaspora: Shattered Armistice on lucid successfully?  I'm trying to do so here, but the sound isn't working.  The only clue is a message that says "openal:463: Unknown error number 0x0000a004".
[17:53] <battlehands> TJ- I will give it a shot
[17:53] <unperson> I'm guessing this means there's a problem with Open AL, but I have no idea what or how I might fix it.
[17:54] <signornessuno> dr_willis, ok i try thanks for help hope it's a solution
[17:54] <unperson> The message "unknown error message" is generally a discourage sign. :-/
[17:55] <mercvrivs> please, how to start sshd only manually? (ie., dont start at login)
[17:55] <Xajin>  I attmepted to use aptitude to install memcached on an ubuntu machine, it came back with several pacakges to remove in addition to installing memcache.  Its strange to me why it would require me to remove a package like postfix.  Here is a full list of packages it wants to remove.  Anyone have any thoughts on this? http://pastebin.com/e0gZHVcT
[17:55] <zykotick9> Xajin: if you use 12.04 you shouldn't be using aptitude... see "/msg ubottu aptitude" for details...
[17:55] <eman_> help whit 12.04 wifi, my wireless connection randomly looses connection, have to reconnect to make it work again?
[17:56] <krababbel> unperson: remove its links in/etc/rc*
[17:56] <Xajin> zykotick9: I guess that might be an issue, heh thanks.
[17:56] <unperson> krababbel, The links for what, Open AL?
[17:57] <mercvrivs> please, how to setup sshd to start only manually? (ie., dont start at boot)
[17:57] <heisenmink> mercvrivs: why?
[17:57] <theadmin> mercvrivs: update-rc.d sshd disable
[17:58] <mercvrivs> because ill use my pc as server somethimes
[17:58] <mercvrivs> thank you
[17:58] <krababbel> mercvrivs: : remove its links in/etc/rc*
[17:58] <krababbel> unperson: sorry
[17:58] <unperson> krababbel, Np, I figured out you must have been talking to him.
[17:59] <unperson> krababbel, Which explained what your answer made no sense.  :-)
[18:00] <SnowmanX11> Can anybody give me a link to linux driver or config file which makes this audicard work with 5.1 sound through jacks? ::: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
[18:00] <unperson> krababbel, Aren't you supposed to use update-rc or something for that these days?
[18:00] <krababbel> unperson: yes, didn't know the command :)
[18:00] <SnowmanX11> I can't find any. :-(
[18:01] <theadmin> unperson: update-rc.d
[18:02] <jrib> theadmin, unperson: ssh uses an upstart-style script though
[18:02] <BluesKaj> SnowmanX11, sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel , that should load your audio driver , but make sure you alsamixer ctls turned up and unmuted , no MM in the ctrl boxes
[18:02] <theadmin> jrib: Ah.
[18:02] <unperson> jrib, Wondered about that too.  No idea how that works.
[18:02] <jrib> mercvrivs: read in the upstart cook book about overrides
[18:03] <jrib> theadmin, unperson: ^
[18:03] <unperson> jrib, Good someone knows these things.  :-)  Sometimes it does seem like stuff that used to be really easy is now really complicated, though.
[18:03] <jrib> mercvrivs, theadmin, unperson: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files
[18:04] <theadmin> unperson: Upstart is actually easier than SysV init, though I prefer OpenRC
[18:04] <unperson> jrib, Well, I must admit in this case that was pretty easy.
[18:05] <xt_hydra> hey doe som1 know how would i know the dependency of the package "xubuntu-desktop"
[18:05] <jrib> xt_hydra: apt-cache depends xubuntu-desktop, but why?
[18:06] <unperson> So I take it that no one has a clue what "openal:463: Unknown error number 0x0000a004" may mean?  (I'd even settle for just what the 463 refers to, I guess.)
[18:06] <xt_hydra> jrib : trying to scan sensors ..doesnt seem to show up.. i only see my GPU
[18:06] <jrib> unperson: yes, though the fact services can still be of the new upstart-type or the old sysv-type make it confusing
[18:06] <SnowmanX11> BluesKaj: ok, I did and? How do I test it?
[18:06] <hwilde_> how do I undo the last round of updates that I installed ??
[18:07] <theadmin> hwilde_: You can't. Downgrading is not supported.
[18:08] <Haix64> Hi. How does Ubuntu enable coloring of outputs in console, and also in nano? I wanna do the same in Arch
[18:09] <hwilde_> theadmin, the update broke my audio and nobody will help me fix it.  I demand to know how to undo
[18:09] <theadmin> hwilde_: You can demand all you want, it's not possible and nobody will tell you how to do it.
[18:09] <ejcweb> I'm struggling to get an external monitor (ViewSonic LED 1080p) working on Ubuntu 12.04. It shows up in the Displays settings window, but when I try to turn it 'on' I get an error message saying the configuration could not be applied.
[18:09] <hwilde_> theadmin, you are unhelpful.
[18:09] <ejcweb> Is there some driver I need to install?
[18:10] <hwilde_> help my sound is stuttering 11.04  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d305cc96e83735bd7b448165d147189dcb72b971
[18:10] <theadmin> hwilde_: Well, good luck is all I can say.
[18:10] <hwilde_> my sound used to work fine for many months.  a week ago I ran an update and now it stutters
[18:10] <hwilde_> the stuttering happens in youtube, totem, and on command line
[18:10] <theadmin> hwilde_: Oh, sound stuttering... Have you tried getting rid of Pulseaudio, if that's possible in your environment? (I seem to have that trouble with Pulse but not with "plain" ALSA)
[18:11] <hwilde_> how do I "get rid of pulseaudio"
[18:11] <BluesKaj> SnowmanX11, alt+f2 type phonon
[18:11] <hwilde_> I have been asking since monday in here and in #alsa and nobody has replied
[18:11] <Haix64> Hi. Can someone please tell me how does Ubuntu enable that console coloring?
[18:12] <hwilde_> I would really like a way to "test drive" the updates and see if they break my system, or a way to undo
[18:12] <theadmin> hwilde_: If you're using GNOME/Unity you don't really have an option, since GNOME is highly dependent on Pulse. However, if you're using KDE/XFCE/LXDE you won't have trouble doing it. Just sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
[18:12] <BluesKaj> hwilde_, if you get rid of pulseaudio , you may not have any audio on websites
[18:12] <hwilde_> everytime I get it working it works great for months, then some update breaks
[18:12] <jrib> Haix64: why not ask in #archlinux how to enable colors in your terminal?  I'm pretty sure both ubuntu and arch allow you to use colors by default and nothing special needs to be done
[18:12] <hwilde_> so why can't we test the updates first like when changing screen resolution and it says click here to accept or it will revert in 45 seconds
[18:12] <hwilde_> It didn't upgrade my kernel version it's just some package update that broke my audio
[18:13] <BluesKaj> theadmin, pulseaudio is necessary on kde as much as gnome now , at least in my experience
[18:13] <hwilde_> how do I find a list of the most recent changes made by the upated
[18:13] <gcmalloc> hwilde_, you can set up a wm to do this
[18:13] <theadmin> BluesKaj: Really? That's weird -- I'm on Precise, I just did sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio, rebooted and KMix fell to ALSA (calling devices something entirely odd though)
[18:13] <Haix64> jrib: I didn't get a clear answer at #archlinux, and also Arch's default coloring is very little. I wanna make it as extended as Ubuntu :-D thanks anyway though
[18:13] <sebersole> when running apt-get update, what does an error like this mean? W: Failed to fetch http://oss.oracle.com/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages  Undetermined Error
[18:13] <hwilde_> how do I find a list of the most recent changes made by the updates
[18:13] <jrib> Haix64: you just mean the bash prompt? Or... what exactly?
[18:13] <theadmin> sebersole: Why the heck are you using a Debian repo on Ubuntu?
[18:14] <delinquentme> "        usershare owner only=false        "    ... does that look like a correct variable / setting configuration statement?
[18:14] <delinquentme> shouldn't it have underscores or something?
[18:14] <BluesKaj> theadmin, I mean for webaudio , alsa can still handle audio on the HDD
[18:14] <sebersole> you do realize ubuntu wikis recommend this right?
[18:14] <theadmin> BluesKaj: Not sure what web audio is. Flash works fine, HTML5 stuff works fine...
[18:14] <hwilde_> how do I find a list of the most recent changes made by the updates
[18:14] <Haix64> jrib: run "ls" in Ubuntu and for different file types/permissions/... there are different colors. Arch doesn't do the same. Besides, in a console in Ubuntu, nano hightlights source codes, nano in Arch doesn't
[18:14] <hwilde_> It didn't upgrade my kernel version it's just some package update that broke my audio
[18:14] <theadmin> sebersole: I don't trust wikis (they are user created content... Anyone could have copy-pasted this from, say, Debian's site)
[18:15] <hwilde_> I would really like a way to "test drive" the updates and see if they break my system, or a way to undo
[18:15] <theadmin> Haix64: alias ls='ls --color'
[18:15] <hwilde_> It didn't upgrade my kernel version it's just some package update that broke my audio
[18:15] <gcmalloc> Haix64, wait what ?
[18:15] <hwilde_> I have been asking since monday in here and in #alsa and nobody has replied
[18:15] <hwilde_> my sound used to work fine for many months.  a week ago I ran an update and now it stutters
[18:15] <BluesKaj> theadmin, ok , but my onboard doesn't , and neither does my pci audio card , for flash and html5 I still need pulse
[18:15] <hwilde_> the stuttering happens in youtube, totem, and on command line
[18:15] <Haix64> theadmin: does work! what to do with nano?
[18:15] <nightcrawler786> how can I remove the games package from 12.04.01
[18:16] <hwilde_> help my sound is stuttering 11.04  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=d305cc96e83735bd7b448165d147189dcb72b971
[18:16] <theadmin> Haix64: wait, wut? nano does coloring on Ubuntu? That's... new to me
[18:16] <jrib> Haix64: ubuntu just aliases ls to "ls --color=auto"
[18:16] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: I think you sudo apt-get remove gnome-games
[18:16] <Haix64> gcmalloc: I'm asking how to enable console colors
[18:16] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, that removes gnome and unity as part of the dependencies
[18:17] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: Oh, wow
[18:17] <Haix64> jrib: you're right, the same thing works in arh
[18:17] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, I pretty much lose my entire desktop
[18:17] <jrib> hwilde_: honestly, I would try 12.04 and if the problem doesn't exist there, I would upgrade.  11.04 will be unsupported next month anyway
[18:17] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: Not cool...
[18:17] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, yeah, Its pretty bad
[18:17] <gcmalloc> Haix64, with ubuntu ? uncomment the force colo line in ~/.bashrc
[18:17] <jrib> Haix64: for nano, I guess just look at the /etc/nanorc that ships with ubuntu.  I don't know anything about nano
[18:17] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: Try removing every individual game then? I can't imagine there be more than like 15
[18:17] <gcmalloc> Haix64, for nano http://how-to.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_use_syntax_highlighting_with_the_GNU_nano_text_editor
[18:17] <nightcrawler786> I did that too
[18:17] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, I did that too
[18:18] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: Hm, same thing I'd think?
[18:18] <Haix64> alright. to make it default, I gotta add the alias in /etc/profile, right?
[18:18] <nightcrawler786> still not very helpful
[18:18] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, yep
[18:18] <jrib> Haix64: you can just use your ~/.bashrc
[18:18] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: Bah... Sorry, I have no idea :(
[18:18] <nightcrawler786> Ubuntu is pretty bad with the dependencies
[18:18] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: I know... I wish we had USE flags D:
[18:19] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, I personally use gentoo ;)
[18:19] <hfic> How can I check my r/w speed for usb?
[18:19] <hwilde_> how do I find a list of the most recent changes made by the updates
[18:19] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, but I have to make a virtualbox Ubuntu for the newbies in India :)
[18:19] <hfic> or disk r/w either way
[18:19] <hwilde_> It didn't upgrade my kernel version it's just some package update that broke my audio
[18:19] <OerHeks> nightcrawler786, did you use aptitude to remove?
[18:20] <nightcrawler786> OerHeks, nope
[18:20] <nightcrawler786> OerHeks, aptitude remove gnome-games?
[18:20] <OerHeks> nightcrawler786, no, aptitude can break stuff, on 64 bit ubuntu
[18:20] <KillJoy> cant you do: sudo rm "name of game"
[18:21] <theadmin> KillJoy: No you can't... That's Windows thinking
[18:21] <nightcrawler786> OerHeks, I don't wanna use something that Ubuntu is about to phase out for good reason
[18:21] <theadmin> KillJoy: apt will just reinstall them on next upgrade
[18:21] <TJ-> fingerprint-gui ... very cool! (if you have a lappie with a fingerprint scanner)
[18:21] <KillJoy> good point
[18:22] <dryicebomb> hwilde_ you can less /var/log/dpkg.log and /var/log/apt/history.log
[18:23] <nightcrawler786> Ubuntu Business edition ships without the games package but then ships other garbage that I don't need
[18:23] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: Use the minimal CD?
[18:23] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: It's sort of like a netinstall, you choose what you want
[18:23] <mercvrivs> update-rc.d sshd disable returns an error:
[18:24] <mercvrivs> update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/sshd: file does not exist
[18:24] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, there is a minimal CD?  I'll try it out
[18:25] <jrib> mercvrivs: that you should be using upstart override files, not update-rc.d
[18:26] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: I'm almost entirely sure... Kubuntu doesn't include many games (includes one, but it's removable too easily)
[18:26] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, my guess is that it will be installed as part of Unity
[18:26] <sedeki> how do I rebuild my apt repository index?
[18:26] <theadmin> sedeki: apt-get update
[18:26] <mercvrivs> oh sorry i didnt see that
[18:26] <sedeki> theadmin, i get an error when I do that
[18:26] <mercvrivs> how to install
[18:26] <jrib> mercvrivs: how to install what?
[18:26] <mercvrivs> upstart
[18:27] <jrib> mercvrivs: you already have upstart
[18:27] <jrib> mercvrivs: see http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files
[18:27] <mercvrivs> thank you ill see
[18:28] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: There's some minimal gnome package, and unity doesn't depend on any games afaik
[18:28] <xt_hydra> i don't find libxfce4panel on lauch pad... that might be an issue
[18:28] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, thanks for the link. Will try out the minimal CD
[18:29] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: Okay, but HUGE warning: You'll need some form of internet connection, most likely wired, during the install.
[18:29] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, thats fine
[18:29] <nightcrawler786> theadmin, internet connection is not something I need to worry about in the US
[18:29] <nightcrawler786> :)
[18:30] <xt_hydra> hmm.. libxfce4panel is on RPM's
[18:30] <theadmin> nightcrawler786: Heh. Well I for example have a wireless router and people complain when I try to use wired
[18:30] <theadmin> xt_hydra: You don't use RPM on Ubuntu
[18:30] <xt_hydra> lol i think ive unpacked them a few time for source compiles
[18:31] <xt_hydra> i dont think thats an issue.. rather than being told to use launch pad to install xfce stuffs
[18:31] <theadmin> xt_hydra: Huh. Can't you just sudo apt-get install xfce4?
[18:32] <xt_hydra> the fact is i need librarys to compile xfce stuffs
[18:33] <theadmin> xt_hydra: sudo apt-get install libxfce*-dev
[18:33] <xt_hydra> going to look depend
[18:33] <fluffy> hello
[18:33] <theadmin> xt_hydra: My bad, sudo apt-get install 'libxfce.*-dev'
[18:34] <xt_hydra> the things is im trying to compile a plugin for xfcepanel
[18:34] <xt_hydra> and i cant find the damn libxfcepanel
[18:34] <xt_hydra> its rather funny isnt it?
[18:35] <theadmin> xt_hydra: You can use "apt-get source" to download source code of individual packages, if you have source repos enabled
[18:35] <xt_hydra> uh...
[18:35] <xt_hydra> ookay...
[18:35] <xt_hydra> how do i search into source repository?
[18:35] <Thunderb0lT> hi there, compiz eats my memory. what to do?
[18:36] <theadmin> xt_hydra: sudo apt-get update ; sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list ; enable source repos ; apt-cache search "blah"
[18:36] <xt_hydra> ook.. i see
[18:36] <theadmin> xt_hydra: Err, first edit the file, then apt-get update
[18:38]  * eon01 is away: Occupé
[18:38] <Thunderb0lT> lol
[18:38] <theadmin> !away > eon01
[18:38] <xt_hydra> isnt source repos.. are actually links?
[18:39] <theadmin> xt_hydra: Well yes, they are...
[18:39] <Froward> my tum tum hurts :( please fix this, ubuntu dev team
[18:39] <Froward> jk but for real it is ouchie
[18:39] <xt_hydra> theadmin or infact is there a commands or a place where i can find repositorys?
[18:40] <theadmin> xt_hydra: /etc/apt/sources.list contains all the official repositories, one per line. Lines starting with # are ignored.

[18:40] <Thunderb0lT> compiz eats Memory and causes so much Load.  uses 3 processor out of 4..what should i do ?
[18:41] <fredddiiiii> I just installed the Zukitwo theme but how do I enable it?
[18:41] <fluffy> How can I rotate a pdf when the file is open? I scanned a book I am reading and I turned it into a pdf. but I forgot to rotate it...Is there any way to do this?
[18:42] <xt_hydra> fluffy : press : ctrl + left
[18:43] <fluffy> xt_hydra: thanks
[18:43] <fredddiiiii> xt_hydra, could you help me with my issue?
[18:43] <fredddiiiii> I want to use Ubuntu but I want to theme it nicely. :(
[18:43] <fredddiiiii> And it all seems rather complicated.
[18:43] <theadmin> !themes | fredddiiiii
[18:43] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: I thought there was a way to tone it down (but not completely disable) compiz without switching to unity2d, but it might require an extra control panel.
[18:43] <alex-> who is in charge of the ubuntu website?
[18:43] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: if you switch to unity2d, no compiz :)
[18:44] <fredddiiiii> theadmin I installed WebUp8 repository and apt-get installed the theme but how do I enable it?
[18:44] <theadmin> fredddiiiii: Power icon -> Settings -> Appearance (something along those lines)
[18:44] <fredddiiiii> The theme is not listed.
[18:44] <fredddiiiii> It uses unico.
[18:44] <theadmin> fredddiiiii: Probably incompatible with your current software sets, then
[18:45] <Thunderb0lT> kyle_: I did everything, not only 2d but also xfce, ldce, cinnamon, flux..all the lightweight desktop environments..no sense
[18:47] <Thunderb0lT> kyle_: would it be sth related with bumblebee?
[18:47] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: If you choose ubuntu2d when you log in (click the little ubuntu icon to the upper right of your name), compiz doesn't run.
[18:47] <fredddiiiii> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/zukitwo-zukini-holo-theme-packs-updated.html
[18:47] <fredddiiiii> Ubuntu 12.04. :(
[18:47] <fredddiiiii> It is what I have.
[18:47] <FloodBot1> fredddiiiii: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:47] <Eagleman7> I am trying to make a backup of my ubuntu machine using clnezilla but i cant gt it to work
[18:47] <fredddiiiii> theadmin, trying to install Zukitwo as listed there.
[18:47] <kyle__> sth bumblebee?
[18:48] <fredddiiiii> And I just got Ubuntu but I am very confused as to how to enable it.
[18:48] <kyle__> Sith bumblebee?
[18:48] <Thunderb0lT> kyle_: dude i know how to choose 2d lol..i thought there were any other ways to increase system performance..
[18:48] <fredddiiiii> I isntalled the repository, installed the theme, but how to enable it? =(
[18:48] <fredddiiiii> It is not listed under themes.
[18:48] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: Ahh.  Well, did you install sar?  It's a bit arcane, but it's a fantastic way to see what is using up resources on your system.
[18:49] <fredddiiiii> Does anyone have any experience with installing and enabling themes? I want to install Zukitwo: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/zukitwo-zukini-holo-theme-packs-updated.html
[18:49] <Thunderb0lT> kyle_: i use top command and got a System Load Indicator..
[18:49] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: install sar, (I think it's apt-get install atsar in 'buntu), run like normal for a few days.
[18:49] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: Then bone up on your sar reading skills (google will pull up some good articles, manpage isn't the greatest for this one), and read the data with sar -A, etc.
[18:50] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: It will tell you what's chewing up your system: slow drives, too little ram, too many processes, etc.
[18:51] <Thunderb0lT> kyle_: The program 'sar' can be found in the following packages:* sysstat & * atsar..which one?
[18:51] <hlpme> anybody want to help me fix unity? I've tried reinstalling it by various means.   How do I transfer terminal history from one terminal to another (like F! to F2)
[18:53] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: Either or.  sysstat is the package it usually comes with in other distros, but atsar is about the same I think.
[18:54] <Thunderb0lT> kyle_: installed both. what to do now
[18:54] <souterrain> I've put ubuntu on USB flash drive using PDL's UUI tool. Is anyone familiar with how I would change the boot menu?  It doesn't seem to have the "persistent" option by default.
[18:54] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: Now check /etc/defaults for a file, something like sar or atsar or sysstat.  edit it to make sure sar is set to run.
[18:54] <kyle__>  /etc/default rather
[18:55] <napster> souterrain: Copy the bash history file, may be?
[18:55] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: Actually, just checked on a 12.04 box, it's run automatically, no file editing necessary :)  Now just use the system normally for a day or three.
[18:56] <Coded1> heh never thought I'd be able to run a Win7 guest on a Linux (Ubuntu) host **with** aero!
[18:56] <napster> skunkworks: : Copy the bash history file, may be?
[18:57] <skunkworks> napster, I will look
[18:57] <Thunderb0lT> kyle_: i dont understand what to edit in that file, sysstat is included in /etc/default dir
[18:57] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: As long as there isn't a line that says, "disabled=true" or something, you're good.  It makes it obvious if it's disabled or not.
[18:58] <Thunderb0lT> kyle_: ah there is ENABLED=false
[18:58] <fredddiiiii> Does anyone have any experience with installing and enabling themes? I want to install Zukitwo: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/zukitwo-zukini-holo-theme-packs-updated.html
[18:58] <kyle__> Thunderb0lT: OK.  So you know what to do.  After you're done, wait a few minutes, then run sar -A.  It should show you info about the current day.
[18:58] <xt_hydra> theadmin : i still end up on RPM find
[18:59] <Meznev> Hey, is there a repo that is more aggressive with updating stuff?
[18:59] <kyle__> brb
[18:59] <fredddiiiii> Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu look sexy?
[19:00] <fredddiiiii> Or does everyone just run the default theme?
[19:00] <wilee-nilee> souterrain, I would just use a loader that makes a casper-rw persistent but there are ways to do it here is one link.  http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/ubuntu-persistent-live-cd.html
[19:00] <nannes> HIIII
[19:00] <Meznev> I liked the default theme for the pre-unity stuff
[19:00] <fredddiiiii> Meznev, pre-unity?
[19:00] <souterrain> wilee-nilee: I just figured it out myself... /cdrom/syslinux/txt.cfg
[19:00] <pcbsdl1> nannes: Hi
[19:00] <fredddiiiii> I just want to know how to make Ubuntu look better.
[19:01] <Coded1> fredddiiiii: I just got ubuntu going with cairo-dock + compiz stuff and it looks perdy
[19:01] <fredddiiiii> I do not like this red / brown theme.
[19:01] <wilee-nilee> souterrain, cool. ;
[19:01] <fredddiiiii> Coded1, can I see your desktop?
[19:01] <wilee-nilee> ;0
[19:01] <pcbsdl1> fredddiiiii: install e17 ? :P
[19:01] <_Trullo> my compiz crashes at startup :/
[19:01] <souterrain> wilee-nilee: thanks for the link
[19:01] <Thunderb0lT> kyle_: i think i have to add that option myself, sysstat -A
[19:01] <wilee-nilee> _Trullo, have you tweaked it?
[19:02] <nannes> anyone who managed to install gnome3 on *lucid* without dist-upgrade?  I want someone who makes me hope for the best :D lol
[19:02] <fredddiiiii> pcbsdl1, e17? I am new to Ubuntu and want to permanently install it on my notebook.
[19:02] <fredddiiiii> But I like dark blue styles.
[19:03] <nannes> Cause I heard of many problems, and I don't wanna meet them
[19:03] <pcbsdl1> Meznev: Looking for a particular updated all or all of them ?
[19:03] <wilee-nilee> souterrain, no problem you can actually have a casper-rw partition and have a gigantic persistent if you had the room.
[19:03] <Coded1> and for bonus points I installed VMWare Workstation 9.0 with Unity for a Win7 Guest to watch netflix
[19:03] <Coded1> :)
[19:04] <fredddiiiii> Ugh these join / leave messages.
[19:04] <fredddiiiii> Coded1, can I see your desktop? Can you upload a screenshot to http://ompldr.org or so?
[19:04] <Meznev> pcbsdl1: Well, quite a few. Stuff like nagios, nginx, and other network monitoring tools and such
[19:04] <souterrain> wilee-nilee: now that 8GB flash is so cheap, it's very useful.
[19:04] <jrib> nannes: why not use 12.04? :/
[19:04] <Meznev> pcbsdl1: I take it your a BSD person? :D
[19:04] <pcbsdl1> Meznev: shhhhhh!!!!!
[19:04] <_Trullo> wilee-nilee, nope not yet, is there a log file?
[19:05] <wilee-nilee> _Trullo, not sure really, how is it crashing?
[19:05] <nannes> jrib: Because I fell in love with Lucid, Don't wanna leave it
[19:05] <nannes> :(
[19:05] <nannes> for a ugly and stupid pangolin
[19:05] <nannes> lol
[19:05] <_Trullo> I just get a message it crashed..
[19:05] <fredddiiiii> Can anyone help me guiding me on how to theme Ubuntu? :(
[19:05] <billc> i would like to install a belkin home base control center on my ubuntu.
[19:05] <jrib> nannes: ... ok
[19:06] <Meznev> I noticed nagios is still running 3.2.0 in ubuntu unless you jump to Quantal
[19:06] <Pecker> fredddiiiii: what are you trying to do
[19:06] <wilee-nilee> nannes, lucid will be end of life soon, love wont matter then. ;)
[19:06] <pcbsdl1> Meznev: You can add in debian repos see if you get newer versions of what you want
[19:06] <Meznev> I think debian has the same problem. Or, rather ubuntu has the same problem as debian. :)
[19:06] <fredddiiiii> Pecker originally I tried to install this skin according to this guide: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/zukitwo-zukini-holo-theme-packs-updated.html
[19:06] <fredddiiiii> Zukitwo.
[19:06] <fredddiiiii> Pecker, I added the repository, I installed the skin, but I have no idea how to enable it. It is not listed in the control panel.
[19:06] <fredddiiiii> So I am hoping somebody in here knows how to theme Ubuntu.
[19:06] <pcbsdl1> Meznev: Ubuntu uses Debian-Exp debs if I recall
[19:08] <nannes> jrib, wilee-nilee: Jokes apart, I need to install it on Lucid cause I can't update now, because I have many configs and many progs compiled by sources which take long time to reinstall, and i'm not even sure that they'd work on precise
[19:08] <pcbsdl1> Meznev: I am sure if you hunt on google you can find custom repos with updated nagios, regardless if the program doesn't have a bug or a security issue don't see the need to update.
[19:08] <nannes> so, anyone who tried gnome3 on Lucid? :(
[19:08] <fredddiiiii> Any idea Pecker?
[19:08] <Meznev> pcbsdl1: Yea, just some of the changes are stuff I'd like. It's not a huge deal, really.
[19:09] <hlpme> anybody want to help me fix unity? I've tried reinstalling it by various means. My dash bar is purple and menu bar empty.
[19:09] <wilee-nilee> hlpme, this the same install you were working on about 12 hrs ago?
[19:10] <hlpme> i'm back
[19:10] <wilee-nilee> !who | hlpme
[19:10] <Meznev> I fixed unity by switching it back to gnome. :P
[19:11] <Meznev> YMMV :)
[19:11] <stainless_steel_> hello
[19:11] <stainless_steel_> i'm having trouble with wifi in some networks
[19:11] <hlpme> hehe meznev. wilee, my latest effort was sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-mono ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-desktop unity unity-common unity-2d
[19:11] <stainless_steel_> with ubuntu 12.04
[19:12] <fredddiiiii> I want my Ubuntu to look like this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1FlYouKawV0/T5rFtJt6-5I/AAAAAAAAIyM/kDS5nbI2vw4/s1600/zukitwo-gshell.png

[19:13] <wilee-nilee> hlpme, Here is a site that has full lists of the installed pkgs in the desktops look in playing around in  the left panel.  Honestly I think you are trying ti fix a install running on one leg anyway and that one is broken.  http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/
[19:14] <Pici> alex-: when are you getting that?
[19:14] <wilee-nilee> or just a lack of the knowledge to fix it, which will not help you.
[19:15] <solifugus> nickserv identify alpoly*71
[19:15] <Pici> solifugus: please change your password.
[19:15] <solifugus> right away
[19:17] <hlpme> !wilee: this is a new reinstall. I reinstalled it because it kept crashing. I'm loathe to reinstall it for the n'th time. I'm not sure what to do; I'd always thought linux was stable but I'm having second thoughts.
[19:17] <Coded1> how can I take a screen shot ?
[19:17] <fredddiiiii> Can anyone help me and turn my default Ubuntu install to this: http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/art/Zukitwo-203936861
[19:17] <erictr1ck> i'm trying to associate .php files to open by default with Aptana Atudio 3 but am ahving no luck. When right clicking on a .php file and going to Properties->Open With->Show other applications Aptana is not in the list. Please help.
[19:18] <alex-> Pici: When I visited http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[19:20] <stainless_steel_> can anyone help me with wifi connection problems?
[19:20] <Pici> alex-: is it still happening?
[19:20] <alex-> Pici: http://1.nl.eu.org/gha.png
[19:20] <wilee-nilee> fredddiiiii, my stock gnome 3 looks like that except for the last folder
[19:20] <alex-> no idea
[19:20] <alex-> nope, works now
[19:21] <fredddiiiii> wilee-nilee, I installed Ubuntu and nothing is transparent
[19:21] <wilee-nilee> fredddiiiii, that is not a unity desktop
[19:22] <wilee-nilee> I have my top panel hiding as well
[19:23] <fredddiiiii> wilee-nilee, how do I turn my Ubuntu into that?
[19:23] <fredddiiiii> And why does Ubuntu not look like that per default? I do not like this look at all.
[19:23] <wilee-nilee> fredddiiiii, first you would install gnome-shell, then look at the web for clues.
[19:23] <pringlescan> Did anyone else have SSH fail to auto-start when they upgraded to 12.04 LTS on Amazon AWS?
[19:23] <fredddiiiii> Thank you.
[19:24] <MonkeyDust> fredddiiiii  the tadte of one single user can not be the default layout
[19:24] <MonkeyDust> taste*
[19:24] <fredddiiiii> wilee-nilee, gnome-shell is already installed.
[19:24] <fredddiiiii> How do I activate gnome-shell?
[19:24] <wilee-nilee> fredddiiiii, good then you are half way there.
[19:24] <wilee-nilee> fredddiiiii, at login in the dropdown
[19:25] <MonkeyDust> fredddiiiii  install gnome-shell, logout, select gnome-shell, login
[19:26] <Froward> Hello dudes. I have tried several times to install the proprietary drivers for my videocard, using the software center. It fails every time. What steps should I take to rectify this?
[19:27] <gordonjcp> Froward: you could pastebin the error message you get
[19:27] <Froward> Okay!
[19:27] <wilee-nilee> Froward, and identify the card to the channel.
[19:27] <Ascavasaion> I used to be able to maximise and minimise applications in the panel at the bottom by just clicking on the item in the panel.  that no longer works.  any pointers please?
[19:29] <Froward> here is my crashlog: http://pastebin.com/B4eCspsY
[19:29] <Froward> the card is a HD 5470
[19:29] <Froward> by ATI
[19:30] <wilee-nilee> Ascavasaion, you might identify the release the desktop and wht you have maybe done leading to this for example any window manager changes
[19:30] <LucasCampos> Hello there. I have a Dell Inspiron 14R, and it has some buttons that I have no idea how they're called. How can I find it?
[19:30] <LucasCampos> I'm using Xubuntu 12.04, 64bits, btw
[19:30] <pcbsdl1> LucasCampos: Be more specific ?
[19:30] <Ascavasaion> wilee-nilee: Ubuntu 11.04, Gnome classic desktop.
[19:30] <jarig> on which channel ubuntu dev. talk is ?
[19:31] <Ascavasaion> wildc4rd: apt-get went beserk and removed many applications and I have spent a few hours manually reinstalling them.
[19:31] <LucasCampos> Is there a program that tells me what is the name of the button I'm pressing
[19:31] <LucasCampos> ?
[19:31] <wilee-nilee> Ascavasaion, you mess with any windows managers, say like adding compiz controls and tweaking it?
[19:31] <pcbsdl1> As fare as I know no but you can create one :P
[19:32] <Ascavasaion> wilee-nilee: I did jump to lubuntu a while back, then went back to Gnome classic, but it was working still.   This is since apt-get removed 400 odd applications, broke my python, etc.
[19:32] <LucasCampos> Oh, found one. Thanks
[19:32] <pcbsdl1> LucasCampos: Take it these are keyboard buttons ? or buttons to turn up down vol etc.. ?
[19:32] <hlpme> is there a way to reinstall 12.04 from the command line to skip the grub stage, which seems to always mess up my system
[19:32] <wilee-nilee> Ascavasaion, apt-get only did what you told it to do, you have to understand dependencies.
[19:32] <pcbsdl1> hlpme: Download the console install version of Ubuntu
[19:33] <MonkeyDust> hlpme  start from the beginning, where do things go wrong
[19:33] <erictr1ck> so my application wouldn't show up in the "other applications" list when trying to associate a defualt application to open this filetype with. after a bunch of googleing i realized i had to put an %f at the end of my EXEC line in the .desktop file. what the heck is the purpose of this?
[19:33] <Ascavasaion> wildc4rd: It did not want python 2.7 to run something, so I tried to downgrade to python 2.6 and it said the 400 odd applications were no longer needed.
[19:33] <pcbsdl1> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[19:33] <wilee-nilee> Ascavasaion, and you let it right.
[19:33] <LucasCampos> pcbsdl1: Not really. On windows they are used to open configuration menu
[19:34] <pcbsdl1> hlpme: Download the text based installer and you can easily skip certain steps
[19:34] <Ascavasaion> wilee-nilee: Yes, it said they were no longer needed :)
[19:34] <wilee-nilee> hehe now you know better I assume.
[19:35] <wilee-nilee> Ascavasaion, you can make a list of every pkg instlled for just such an occasion.
[19:35] <wilee-nilee> installed*
[19:35] <Ascavasaion> wilee-nilee: Yes, I know better now... but everything is broken and battling to get it up and running.  Have got almost everything back that it removed... and will add small things as I spot them not being there.  But this not being able to maximise and minimise from panel is odd.
[19:36] <hlpme> thanks, monkeydust. I installed 12.04 on a multibooting EFI GPT system. It worked superficially but kept crashing, so I had the "bright" idea of reinstalling it. First this messed up Unity. Try again messed up the bootloader too. I got past that and now I'm back at the messed up Unity stage. I have no files to lose so I can theoretically reinstall but the visual installer just messes up the bootloader. I don't know why it doesn't leave well
[19:36] <wilee-nilee> Ascavasaion, so what is the desktop just the stock unity gnome?
[19:36] <LucasCampos> pcbsdl1: Strangely, they are showing as Super_L on xev
[19:36] <grandal_prime> ok vlan's in 12.4
[19:36] <nannes> so, anyone who god gnome3 to work on Lucid? :(
[19:36] <grandal_prime> whos good at this?
[19:37] <grandal_prime> nannes, nope works in 12.04 as well
[19:37] <Ascavasaion> wilee-nilee: Gnome classic... I am not fond of the unity interface that came with 11.04, so I chose gnome Classic.
[19:37] <hlpme> monkeydust: Ideally I'd like to fix Unity without reinstalling the OS yet again.
[19:37] <pcbsdl1> Ascavasaion: much more stable as well
[19:38] <MonkeyDust> hlpme  i don't like/use unity, but there's the command unity --reset
[19:38] <grandal_prime> ya i hated unity..had to bite the bullet and go with it though
[19:38] <Ascavasaion> pcbsdl1: I suppose it could be more stable.  I imagine it runs quicker on my oldish laptop.
[19:38] <hlpme> Is there a way to get a screenshot of the desktop saved to a file using a hotkey? I've done unity --reset.
[19:38] <funky1> could someone please help me out going nuts: http://pastebin.ca/2201851 have a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 64 bit system
[19:38] <grandal_prime> !vlans
[19:38] <hlpme> I think it might help people understand what's going on if they can see it.
[19:39] <Ascavasaion> hlpme: hit the Printscreen button.
[19:39] <OerHeks> hlpme, hit the screenshot button, should be standard available
[19:39] <zvacet> hlpme:  see if http://askubuntu.com/questions/17610/how-do-i-reset-my-unity-configuration can help you
[19:40] <hlpme> where does the file go when I hit print screen?
[19:40] <grandal_prime> ! vlan
[19:40] <grandal_prime> grr
[19:41] <hlpme> remember that I cna't access any applications from the GUI; the dash bar is empty and the dash icon does nto work
[19:41] <Ascavasaion> hlpme: When I hit Printscreen it pops up a window asking me for a filename and where I want to save it.
[19:41] <zvacet> hlpme: look in home folder
[19:41] <MonkeyDust> hlpme  there's also this, but it's more drastic gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz && compiz --replace <enter>
[19:41] <Ascavasaion> hlpme: dashbar?
[19:42] <hlpme> when I hit print screen and any combination of ctrl alt shift nothing happens
[19:43] <hlpme> The keyboard is not response in GUI mode...
[19:43] <Ascavasaion> hlpme: Do you mean that your panel is gone?
[19:43] <pcbsdl1> I would just reinstall
[19:44] <hlpme> monkeydust: I've tried dash. Ascavasaion: The dash bar is there, but mostly empty, and purple. I can't click on the icons that are in it.
[19:44] <Ascavasaion> hlpme: Not sure I know how to help you.
[19:44] <hlpme> pcbsdl1: I've reinstalled many times and it either makes it worse (borks bootloader) or does nothing. I might try a console installation next, if it's not too hard.
[19:44] <pcbsdl1> Isn'y UEFI still rather beta quality in grub2?
[19:44] <Ascavasaion> maybe try typing gnome-panel in a terminal window.
[19:45] <Andy> Hi everyone.   I use this when I change desktops to get just one specifically or to remove one in whole. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/
[19:46] <T3X> anybody can help me with how to mount my 3TB external hard drive?
[19:46] <Addisonian> Howdy.  I installed Uuntu 12.04.  I manually added a user to the system.  I want that user to show up as a choice in the login screen.  What can I do to accomplish that?
[19:47] <pcbsdl1> T3X: Just plug it in and it should show up in Gnome
[19:47] <Ascavasaion> wilee-nilee: I know that site well hehehe  The options they give never work for me hehe
[19:47] <T3X> pcbsdl1: i am using ubuntu server 12.04 not graphic
[19:47] <Andy> Anyone familiar with "Windows Live Mail" Application?
[19:47] <hlpme> ascavasaion: I installed and ran gnome-panel. first it complained about the display so I get it to :0.0 then I ran gnome-panel. What am I supposed to see?
[19:47] <wilee-nilee> Addisonian, You would be better using user accounts where you can have the user be a admin or not.
[19:48] <pcbsdl1> T3X: Oh in that case need to see what device is it
[19:48] <hfic> T3X, man mount
[19:48] <Ascavasaion> hlpme: I would imagine that it should give you the top and bottom panels.
[19:48] <wilee-nilee> Ascavasaion, Hmm, never failed me in probably at least 50 uses.
[19:48] <Ascavasaion> wilee-nilee: I am special HAHAHA!
[19:49] <T3X> pcbsdl1: it looks to me like it not detected by ubuntu
[19:49] <wilee-nilee> I can tell from here hehe Ascavasaion
[19:49] <wilee-nilee> ;)
[19:49] <Ascavasaion> wilee-nilee: hehehe  *slap*
[19:49] <Addisonian> wilee-nilee, The use does not show up in user account management.  I added him manually because I copied it from the old machine to preserve his password and files.
[19:49] <BFH> is btrfs fully supported at this point?
[19:49] <pcbsdl1> T3X: Depending on your HD layout and bios your system might not be able to see those 3TB's
[19:50] <BFH> I have a mad small hdd with two ntfs partitions, a fat16 partition and then space for the linux partition.
[19:50] <T3X> pcbsdl1: is there any way to check?
[19:50] <wilee-nilee> Addisonian, Ah, not an area I'm real familiar with but it would be about permissions overall I suspect.
[19:51] <zorbama> Hello, I just tried to configure dual monitor for my computer. Everything worked fine until I wanted to check out xinerama. Since then, no matter what I do, Ubuntu starts up into Unity 2d. Again, it supported unity 3d with BOTH screens, but after switching to xinerama (and back to twinview) I can't log into a unity 3d session. How come?
[19:51] <BFH> installer failed with BTRFS but succeeded with ext4
[19:51] <pcbsdl1> T3X: See what dmesg says when you plug in the HD if nothing shows up then figure out why
[19:52] <BFH> it's the primary hdd. and how would i do that? echo dmsg?
[19:53] <T3X> pcbsdl1 i have got this : [    3.464013] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] 732566645 4096-byte logical blocks: (3.00 TB/2.72 TiB)
[19:53] <BFH> I haven't used linux in years and have forgotten all my bash commands
[19:53] <Andy> Does anyone know how I could get "windows live mail" application working under linux?  I wasn't able to add it using Wine...
[19:54] <pcbsdl1> Install a windows VM
[19:54] <T3X> pcbsdl1: have you seen the output of dmesg?
[19:55] <zorbama> I just tried to configure dual monitor for my computer. Everything worked fine until I wanted to check out xinerama. Since then, no matter what I do, Ubuntu starts up into Unity 2d. Again, it supported unity 3d with BOTH screens, but after switching to xinerama (and back to twinview) I can't log into a unity 3d session. How come?
[19:55] <Andy> but is there a way I could get it native?
[19:55] <eman_> hey, why dose my wireless connection suddenly lose Internet connection? i don't get disconnected from the router but have to reconnect to get on the web again?
[19:55] <Andy> I don't want to have to leave a windows VM open just to check mail.
[19:56] <pcbsdl1> use thunderbird or something else instead of windows live mail
[19:56] <Andy> I didn't care for Thunderbird or Evolution.
[19:56] <pcbsdl1> I am sure wine works
[19:56] <Andy> it didn't sync right.
[19:56] <pcbsdl1> if I can play sc2 in wine you can run windows live in wine :)
[19:56] <IdleOne> Andy: get a gmail account, forward your live mail to gmail. use the web interface. I doubt you will be able to get it working with Wine but you might try asking in ##winehq
[19:56] <blz> Andy, maybe you should try to fix the problem with Thunderbird?

[20:03] <aristidesfl> I've overwritten an important file
[20:04] <Jordan_U> aristidesfl: What file? Overwritten how? Do you have a backup?
[20:06] <mega1> is it possable to turn off the network card on the first day of a month at 12am and restart at last day at 12am
[20:06] <aristidesfl> Jordan_U no I don't have a backup
[20:06] <aristidesfl> it was a text editor
[20:06] <aristidesfl> which has a bug
[20:06] <aristidesfl> and saved an empty file
[20:06] <aristidesfl> on top of my code
[20:06] <aristidesfl> :(
[20:07] <gordonjcp> aristidesfl: revert it?
[20:07] <gordonjcp> aristidesfl: you *are* using a VCS, right?
[20:07] <aristidesfl> gordonjcp how
[20:07] <Dougie> hi i need some help installing linux
[20:07] <aristidesfl> gordonjcp I didn't commit the changes
[20:07] <wlcosta> Dougie, what's the problem bro?
[20:07] <gordonjcp> aristidesfl: well at least you can get it back to where you were before you started hacking
[20:08] <aristidesfl> which was the initial state
[20:08] <Dougie> whenever try to install it repeats the purple screen with tos white dots
[20:08] <hlpme> this is what my desktop looks like: http://i.stack.imgur.com/EdQPh.jpg
[20:08] <Dougie> so i cant install it
[20:08] <mtree> hello, anyone knows the name of pretty new distro based on ubuntu or debian (not sure), with preinstalled "macos like" dock. It is very lightweight, cute and sexy distro.
[20:08] <wlcosta> Dougie, I was having this problem... I don't know if my solution will be the same of yours
[20:08] <aristidesfl> gordonjcp which has 0 work done :(
[20:08] <Dougie> what was it
[20:08] <Jordan_U> aristidesfl: If you think it's open somewhere still it might be easy to recover, or you could check for temporary files from the text editor ("ls -a" in the directory in question), but outside that your options are difficult and time consuming enough that you're probably better off spending that time re-writing the code.
[20:09] <wlcosta> but i've solved mine just burning other ISO in a new DVD
[20:09] <wlcosta> maybe you can burn an older version and then update it
[20:09] <Dougie> well i tried a disc from ubuntu then a iso burned disc
[20:09] <wlcosta> mtree, maybe Elementary OS?
[20:09] <wlcosta> Dougie, maybe booting via USB
[20:10] <aristidesfl> I'm going to kill myself
[20:10] <Dougie> cant its a dell dimension 2350
[20:10] <Dougie> an oldie
[20:10] <wlcosta> aw man.
[20:10] <mtree> wlcosta: YES. Thanks.
[20:10] <wlcosta> mtree, no problem! :D
[20:11] <Dougie> i did have xp installed to try and use the usb to execute linux but it had to reboot and cant boot from usb
[20:11] <wlcosta> Dougie, then you should try downloading an older version of it and then burning it again.
[20:11] <wlcosta> With me it worked
[20:11] <need> hello folks im here bc im an idiot and idk how to solve my problem with ubuntu
[20:11] <Dougie> ill try that now
[20:11] <wlcosta> need, what do you need?
[20:12] <wilee-nilee> !nomodeset > Dougie
[20:12] <Mir09> need, yeah.. what you need?
[20:12] <need> im trying to install ubuntu on my harddrive  as the only os, my old harddrive ... broke... so i bought a new one with no os on it
[20:12] <Dougie> where could i download an older version
[20:12] <wlcosta> Dougie, I will search it for you
[20:12] <hfic> sudo service vsftpd restart says it restarts the application, but I don't see it in top or ps -ef
[20:13] <need> i downloaded the latest version of ubuntu and used unetbootin to put it on a flash drive  for use as the comp im using to DL it in the first place doesnt have a working cd tray -_-
[20:13] <wilee-nilee> Dougie, try booting using nomodeset per the bots private message, a older version is not really a quantitative option
[20:14] <Dougie> how do i do that
[20:14] <need> when i tried to start my laptop up with the flash drive in and ready to go it gives me a generic " boot error" message
[20:14] <wlcosta> Yeah, try what wilee-nilee said, Dougie.
[20:14] <Dougie> how?
[20:14] <mega1> can i turn the network card off and on again with a timer
[20:14] <hlpme> interesting discussion on Elementary. Does anyone have any experience with it, good or bad?
[20:14] <wlcosta> At that purple screen there will be a list of options on the screen, like "install ubuntu" or "try ubuntu"
[20:14] <wilee-nilee> Dougie, how what?
[20:14] <wlcosta> at the bottom there will be a list of commands
[20:14] <Dougie> nomodeset
[20:15] <wilee-nilee> Dougie, LOOK AT the link the bot gave you.
[20:15] <Dougie> i cant get on install ununtu and try ubuntu im stuck on screen before
[20:15] <Dougie> which keeps repeating
[20:16] <need> wlcosta, do have any advice for installing ubuntu via flashdrive bc im at a loss and i have no way to make a boot cd ( small town library doesnt permit putting cd's or flash drives in there machines)
[20:16] <Dougie> and repeating
[20:16] <Dougie> it drives me mad
[20:16] <nickfreeman> Hello world!
[20:16] <wilee-nilee> Dougie, Have you checked the md5sum of the ISO or disc? you should default at a try or install or check memory,
[20:17] <Dougie> no
[20:17] <Dougie> how do u do that
[20:17] <wilee-nilee> !md5sum > Dougie
[20:17] <Dougie> having a llok now
[20:17] <nickfreeman> !md5sum > nickfreeman
[20:18] <wilee-nilee> Dougie, a bad iso, burn, or cd will cause a non default to the correct screen some times.
[20:18] <Mir09> need, I found this, maybe can help u http://askubuntu.com/questions/141311/unknown-keyword-in-configuration-file-boot-error-when-booting-off-a-live-usb

[20:19] <eman_> why do my wireless connection suddenly lose Internet connection? i don't get disconnected from the router but have to reconnect to get on the web again?
[20:19] <atrus> sometimes i see that lightdm has picked up the user's desktop background, but on most of my systems, that doesn't seem to work. any thoughts as to why?
[20:19] <wilee-nilee> eman_, Do you know the wireless card?
[20:20] <rahul_gtg> i have an unusual problem
[20:20] <Skinfakse> eman_, do you use bittorrent or something else which opens up many connections at once?
[20:20] <nickfreeman> eman_: If you are looking to download lots of porn at one time. I would get a seedbox.
[20:20] <rahul_gtg> i haven't set the su password and managed to remove my only user from sudoers list
[20:21] <nickfreeman> That way you don't have to worry about your connection slowling down.
[20:21] <gordonjcp> rahul_gtg: reboot into single-user mode, add yourself back in
[20:21] <nickfreeman> slowing* excuse me
[20:21] <rahul_gtg> what options to specify in grub?
[20:21] <rahul_gtg> gordonjcp, ^
[20:22] <Mir09> eman_, type "dmesg | wlan0" onterminal and look msg form your wireless card
[20:22] <Mir09> eman_, sorry "dmesg | grep wlan0"
[20:22] <Dire> Is there some site maint going on? The WUBI downloader and Community pages are coming up 404
[20:22] <wilee-nilee> rahul_gtg, You can add the user back with visudo, What is the evidence of no sudo now?
[20:22] <need> mir09, this seems useful but idk how to open the .cfg to edit it >.> not literate in these things

[20:23] <ticamai> I've got a Toshiba Satellite L355-S7905 with microphone issues. The microphone is turned on and up, but when I record all I hear is static. I have tried adding "options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad" and variations of it /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, as well as a full reinstall of ALSA.
[20:23] <ticamai> The microphone worked in windows before it was given to me, the previous owner used the laptop for skype calls often.
[20:25] <Dougie> this my md5 checksum for my iso e235b63c02644e219b7bf3668f479c9e
[20:25] <Dougie> is that right or is the iso wrong
[20:25] <Alpha-Omega> question: after doing "sudo modprobe fuse", I do "lsmod | grep" but nothing shows up, is there a reason it's not showing up?
[20:25] <wilee-nilee> !checksum
[20:26] <Alpha-Omega> "lsmod | grep fuse"*
[20:26] <eman_> Mir09 ok what info am looking for?
[20:26] <zykotick9> Alpha-Omega: grep isn't searching for anything?
[20:26] <wilee-nilee> Dougie, check above ^^^^^

[20:26] <wilee-nilee> theonefreeman, why are you sending that to me?
[20:27] <theonefreeman> To help you
[20:27] <guntbert> theonefreeman: we can read ourselves - please stop that
[20:27] <gray> When I install the "is connected to the Internet" has an X by it... I am not able to download updates during install.  However if I switch to another desktop I am able to ping Google for example.  Any tips?  Thinking proxy related.
[20:27] <Mir09> eman_, look if u find something like "wlan0 deauthenticating from by local choice (reason=3)" or some like this
[20:27] <Alpha-Omega> theonefreeman: how is this relevant?
[20:27] <wilee-nilee> theonefreeman, Look right above your first checksum notation, I was not looking for help. ;)
[20:27] <theonefreeman> guntbert: I wouldn't expect anything less, then that would make sending you all pm's pointless. :)
[20:27] <Dougie> i wanna install linux but i cant so, so far i dont linux cuz i cant install it
[20:28] <theonefreeman> Alpha-Omega: I thought your question was about cd's
[20:28] <eman_> Mir09 yes that line is there
[20:28] <Alpha-Omega> no
[20:28] <theonefreeman> Oh, my apologies
[20:28] <need> i will brb gonna try one last time to get my flash drive version to boot
[20:28] <Alpha-Omega> fuse isn't showing up as a loaded module
[20:28] <Dougie> help
[20:28] <Dougie> i cant get to install ubuntu screen
[20:28] <Dougie> :(
[20:29] <gray> oh, and I also tried export PROXY=<proxy URL> but that didn't appear to do anything.
[20:29] <rahul_gtg> gordonjcp, i tried that but trying to change the password still doesn't work
[20:29] <Dougie> :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
[20:29] <Guest92068> Dougie your in South Africa ?
[20:29] <Dougie> no
[20:29] <theonefreeman> Yes
[20:29] <Mir09> eman_, and after that u find "authenticated" and " associated with.."?
[20:29] <wilee-nilee> Dougie, try when you start the boot of the cd holding down the shift to get the try ubuntu gui to hit the f6 and choose nomodeset. If you burned the cd at a high speed that can cause problems as well.
[20:29] <rahul_gtg> gordonjcp, it shows: rahul is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[20:29] <guntbert> gray: did you use HTTP_PROXY=http://.... ?

[20:31] <Mir09> need, for edit syslinux.cfg u can use "nano" form terminal or "gedit" if u wanna use a graphic mode
[20:31] <gray> just tried it, no change.
[20:32] <Mir09> eman_, but now work wireless?
[20:32] <eamon> Is java run in a jail on FreeBSD run in a VM on Ubuntu secure? I'm afraid of getting a rootkit.
[20:32] <need> @mir09 i will look those 2 things up
[20:32] <Dark_light> i've upgraded an ubuntu install 11.(dont remember) to 12.04, it got stuck during the xorg unpacking and i had to reboot it, now it just gets stuck at the loading screen
[20:32] <Dark_light> i can't even access the tty
[20:33] <wilee-nilee> Dark_light, you have a backup of the unknown 11.??
[20:33] <eman_> Mir09 yes now it works but it will stop some time soon
[20:33] <Mir09> need, try :)
[20:33] <rahul_gtg> i have lost my su and sudo passwords... is there any way to add myself to sudoers file
[20:34] <Mir09> eman_, maybe is the ipv6 that give u some problem.. try to disable it
[20:34] <Dark_light> rahul_gtg: just edit /etc/shadows from a live cd
[20:34] <satalha> hey guys, i am having trouble getting wifi working on ubuntu11.10 with my acer aspire v3-571-6884. It uses a broadcom BCM-43228 card. I installed the driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php and succesfully got modprobe wl to work, however i still cannot see any wireless networks, nor does wlan0 show up in iwconfig.
[20:34] <Dark_light> rahul_gtg: or chroot and do passwd to change the passwod
[20:34] <hydrox24> rahul_gtg: You'll need to boot from a live cd to reset passwords I think.
[20:34] <BobertD> is this correct site for help?
[20:35] <hydrox24> BobertD: Yes, if it is with ubuntu.
[20:35] <Pecker> BobertD: whats your question
[20:35] <wilee-nilee> rahul_gtg, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[20:35] <satalha> does anyone have an idea what could be going wrong?
[20:35] <eman_> Mir09 Ipv6 settings method is set to ignore is it disabled?
[20:35] <BobertD> force install i386 on 64 bit          pinters got wiped
[20:36] <ticamai> Can anyone help me with my microphone? I've got a Toshiba Satellite L355-S7905 with microphone issues. The microphone is turned on and up, but when I record all I hear is static. I have tried adding "options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad" and variations of it /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, as well as a full reinstall of ALSA.
[20:37] <rahul_gtg> wilee-nilee, thanks... i'll try it...
[20:37] <Mir09> eman_, type this on terminal "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 " if the result is 1 is disable
[20:37] <Pecker> satalha: wifi issues.. those arent fun. id help more but..ugh linux and wifi.. Only thing is did you try the additionial drivers window, see if it comes up with anything?
[20:37] <eman_> Mir09 result is 0
[20:38] <need> ok so looked at gedit but i cannot download it to my flashdrive or it will erase the ubuntu thats already on it ( and assuming i do when i get ubuntu it will do the same  back again)
[20:38] <quidnunc> Anyone know of a <512MB bootable distro that I can use to securely erase partitions?
[20:39] <satalha> Packer: yep, no dice
[20:39] <eman_> Mir09 "set /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 1" is it the right command?
[20:39] <Pecker> quidnunc: darik's boot and nuke
[20:39] <BobertD> it's a  brother 495cw   that worked for two years    disappeared  from sys   have the lpr and cupswrapper files   need to force install the i386 on 64 bit sys
[20:39] <wilee-nilee> quidnunc, lubuntu would work but I would even a lighter one that is small like puppylinux.
[20:39] <hfic> sudo service vsftpd restart says it restarts the application, but I don't see it in top or ps -ef  or pidof
[20:40] <Mir09> eman_, the right command is this "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6" :)
[20:40] <Mir09> eman_, but is only for see if is enabel
[20:41] <eman_> Mir09 oh ok :), how to change it?
[20:42] <Nisstyre-laptop> Hello, in order to get my Dlink DWA-160 usb wireless adapter working I had to build a kernel module from the manufacturer (Ralink), it's not included in the kernel currently. Anyway, I guess whenever the kernel gets updated I have to rebuild it, my question is: Is there a way to make ubuntu rebuild it automatically whenever the kernel is updated?
[20:42] <Mir09> eman_, for disable type "sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf" and at the end of file add this line "net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1" "net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1" "net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1" copy the 3 lines without ""
[20:42] <quidnunc> Pecker: thanks
[20:43] <guntbert> andredieb: look for dkms
[20:43] <Pecker> Nisstyre-laptop: DKMS?
[20:43] <Pecker> quidnunc: np
[20:43] <eamon> Is java run in a jail on FreeBSD run in a VM on Ubuntu secure? I have to use java for school and I'm afraid of getting a rootkit.
[20:43] <Nisstyre-laptop> Pecker: that looks like it would be perfect
[20:43] <guntbert> andredieb: sorry, wrong nick
[20:43] <BobertD> printer probs here
[20:44] <kyle__> eamon: Whew.
[20:44] <kyle__> eamon: Anything run in a VM can be reasonably assumed to jailed, and safely kept away from your host OS.
[20:44] <need> ok well i think im pretty much SOL on installing ubuntu to my laptop -_-
[20:44] <eamon> I heard there are java exploits that can detect if it's in a VM and infect the host OS
[20:45] <eamon> kyle__^^^
[20:45] <kyle__> eamon: O_o umm link?  I just don't buy that.
[20:45] <Mir09> need, if is your first time with ubuntu is normal find strange problems :)
[20:45] <ticamai> eamon: Those mostly apply to VMs on windows that have all of the drives linked to the VM as network drives, which itself isn't a very secure thing to do.
[20:46] <BobertD> anyone willing to help with PRINTER  prob???
[20:46] <Pecker> BobertD: whats exactly is going on
[20:46] <Pecker> havent seen your question
[20:46] <BobertD> it's a  brother 495cw   that worked for two years    disappeared  from sys   have the lpr and cupswrapper files   need to force install the i386 on 64 bit sys
[20:46] <WeThePeople> hi
[20:46] <kyle__> eamon: If you're running in a chroot, or openvz, or lxe, a kernel exploit theoretically could get through.  A fully virtualized, or paravirtualized system, no.
[20:46] <kyle__> What ticamai Said.
[20:47] <BobertD> can copy and paste commands
[20:47] <need> mir its my first time with ubuntu and i have no way to make a boot cd only a flash drive version. also my first time installing an OS and using irc >.>
[20:47] <Mir09> need, no problem.. have you read here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[20:47] <eman_> Mir09 Done, but the "cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6" still shows 0
[20:48] <FluxD> Hi, I have the following pci sd card reader: 0a:03.2 Mass storage controller: Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Multimedia Card Reader (SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO/xD) When I plug in an sd card, even though it has the driver in lsmod, it does nothing. Ideas ?
[20:48] <need> yes i did but ill read it again just in case
[20:48] <kyle__> FluxD: dmesg|tail, see if anything showed up.
[20:48] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: have you looked at the output of dmesg?
[20:48] <Mir09> eman_, u have to reboot your pc first
[20:48] <FluxD> kyle__, Nisstyre-laptop , let me unplug and plug it again
[20:49] <Mir09> eman_, and after if u look it have to be 1
[20:49] <eman_> Mir09 oh :) of course :p thanks brb i hope
[20:49] <Mir09> eman_, I hope it work :)
[20:49] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: whenever you have a problem with hardware, always look at dmesg first
[20:50] <FluxD> Nisstyre-laptop, I was tailing syslog
[20:50] <d1g1ta1> How do you enlarge Linux device /dev/sda2 to a newly enlarged partition running under VMware Player when you have /dev/sda3 swap partition following /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda1 boot partitions?
[20:50] <FluxD> kyle__, Nisstyre-laptop , nothing in dmesg
[20:50] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: ...nothing at all about it?
[20:50] <need> ya nothing in there to help me.....
[20:50] <achandra> drussell, ping
[20:50] <Nisstyre-laptop> that's not a good sign
[20:51] <kyle__> FluxD: Did you modprobe/isnmod the driver, or was it done automatically?
[20:51] <wilee-nilee> d1g1ta1, What is the LInux install?
[20:51] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: are you sure you have the correct kernel module?
[20:52] <need> when i start my comp i hit f11 to choose the boot option and when i select it it just tells me  " boot error" and then starts over and tells me to insert boot media and press a key
[20:52] <FluxD> kyle__, Nisstyre-laptop , I think its the tifm module, which seems to be loaded:  tifm_7xx1              12937  0
[20:52] <FluxD> tifm_core              15040  1 tifm_7xx1
[20:52] <d1g1ta1> wilee-nilee:  i need to do this for one Redhat & one Ubuntu VM
[20:52] <wilee-nilee> d1g1ta1, This is ubuntu support try #linux
[20:52] <FluxD> kyle__, Nisstyre-laptop , how do I know what the right module is ?
[20:52] <wilee-nilee> ##linux actualy
[20:52] <eman_> Mir09 now it is disabled just have to wait to see if it works :)
[20:52] <d1g1ta1> wilee-nilee: I am trying to do this for ubuntu.
[20:53] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: generally by researching it and finding either a module you compile from source, or from a repository
[20:53] <BobertD> Pecker    that's hwo I had to install files   two years ago          attempted to un/reinstall    and all it do was remove  the cups wrapper , GUI
[20:53] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: are you following instructions from somewhere or something?
[20:53] <wilee-nilee> d1g1ta1, Cool, not sure why you have a boot partition but you can remove reload any type of partitions or resize them if working from a live enviroment.
[20:54] <wilee-nilee> If there is room to do so
[20:54] <ranveer5289> need: Is there any device like USB, CD inserted at the time of booting
[20:54] <FluxD> Nisstyre-laptop, no google told me it was tifm module, I dont know anything else
[20:54] <d1g1ta1> wilee-nilee: how?
[20:54] <TJ-> d1g1ta1: As long as you ensure the swap partition is not in use, you can delete sda3 to reclaim it's space, redo sda2 larger, then create a new sda3 at a new position for swap. After that, remember to do "mkswap /dev/sda3" to prime it
[20:54] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: it might not be the correct version, or your might have a newer revision of the hardware
[20:54] <FluxD> Nisstyre-laptop, this laptop is 6 years old
[20:55] <wilee-nilee> d1g1ta1, boot a live cd that has access and use a partitioner like  a ubuntu live cd using gparted, or a gparted live cd.
[20:55] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: the sd card reader?
[20:55] <need> @ranveer yes the usb is insterted and when i choose my boot option it says "boot error"
[20:55] <BobertD> PRINTER   prob here
[20:55] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: well then it should be in the kernel already -_-
[20:55] <Nisstyre-laptop> if it's that old
[20:55] <BobertD> anyone willing to help
[20:55] <wilee-nilee> need,  TRy another usb loader there are many. Check the md5sum of the original ISO as well.
[20:56] <ranveer5289> need: Can you once again make bootable USB
[20:56] <wilee-nilee> BobertD, Have you told us the exact problem and printer model?
[20:56] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: if that were the case udev would've detected it for you
[20:56] <Nisstyre-laptop> and loaded the correct module
[20:56] <BobertD> it's a  brother 495cw   that worked for two years    disappeared  from sys   have the lpr and cupswrapper files   need to force install the i386 on 64 bit sys

[20:57] <Nisstyre-laptop> FluxD: have a look at the manufacturer site to see if there are open source drivers
[20:57] <need> BRB
[20:57] <Nisstyre-laptop> anyway, gtg
[20:58] <BobertD> already have them

[20:59] <GlenK> hi.  should I avoid nvidia optimus stuff if I'm purchasing a new laptop?  quadro systems seem like they're really going to hurt the pocket book.
[21:00] <BobertD> pkg mgr    can't install i 386 on 64 bit sy

[21:01] <hydrox24> BobertD: If you can get the deb then you can install it using dpkg --force-architecture.
[21:01] <TJ-> GlenK: Well, an Nvidia developer just recently posted to the dri-dev mailing-list announcing they have a proof-of-concept driver that works with optimus... so before long Nvidia might be playing nice on optimus PCs
[21:01] <BobertD> can copy andpaste commands

[21:01] <Alex_Bkash> hello I need to install intel IPP in ubuntu? can any one guide plz?
[21:02] <BobertD> usually work in GUI       was installed two years back
[21:02] <GlenK> TJ-: would it be correct that the current state of affairs is that you need to go with a quadro gpu if you want something completely dedicated?
[21:02] <hydrox24> GlenK: I would still say yes unless you REALLY want to get one WITH optimus, it may still be several years before optimus support is stable and ready for consumer use.
[21:02] <TJ-> GlenK: dedicated to what?
[21:03] <TJ-> hydrox24: I doubt it'll be that long - from what I've seen the Nvidia support is going to arrive in the next few months
[21:03] <hydrox24> TJ-: he is talking about dedicated GPUs
[21:03] <mega1> can i turn the network card off and on again with a timer
[21:03] <GlenK> TJ-: as in not an intel shared memory setup or something hybrid like optimus.  just straight dedicated graphics.
[21:03] <hydrox24> TJ-: But will it actualy work? I'm dubious
[21:04] <Alex_Bkash> hello I need to install intel IPP in ubuntu? can any one guide plz?
[21:04] <TJ-> hydrox24: The proof of concept already works... they just need to tidy it up and get Dave Arlie to sign off on it

[21:05] <TJ-> GlenK: I think for laptops the main thing is to future-proof as much as possible by ensuring it has decent MXM support
[21:05] <ranveer5289> abyss42: rm "-0395e722"
[21:05] <BobertD> haven't had to use command    for over a year .....

[21:06] <TJ-> abyss42: prefix the hyphen with a \     or enclose the entire name in single-quotes
[21:06] <abyss42> TJ what if i wanted to do rm * in that directory having a bunch of such filenames?
[21:06] <GlenK> TJ-: mxm being?

[21:09] <sarutahiko> hello. does ubuntu.com/download/desktop not return anything for anyone else?
[21:09] <hydrox24> abyss42: Try using 'find -exec rm "{}" \;'
[21:10] <abyss42> TJ, Awesome
[21:10] <TJ-> GlenK: The thing to take from it is, laptops have SLOTS for the video adapters, they aren't soldered on the mainboard, so you can swap out the existing video and upgrade to a more recent, more powerful adapter without ditching the entire laptop
[21:10] <ranveer5289> TJ-: nice
[21:10] <pinguy> awesome
[21:10] <pinguy> hello
[21:10] <GlenK> TJ-: ah.  k, thanks.
[21:10] <hydrox24> abyss42: If that doesn't work you can use a bash/zsh loop.
[21:10] <hydrox24> pinguy: what do you need help with?

[21:17] <BobertD> ya    my biz laptop of 4 years been rendered all but useles  .....
[21:18] <Pecker> BobertD: what happens if you try to print
[21:19] <BobertD> the printer is no longer recognized
[21:19] <TJ-> dontknow: About the same
[21:19] <Boreeas> Is there a way to set a picture as wallpaper without moving it to ~/Pictures?
[21:20] <TJ-> BobertD: What did you do that rendered the printer unusable? some kind of release-upgrade, switched architectures, package update?
[21:20] <BobertD> actually  located but the drivers    not available
[21:20] <hydrox24> BobertD: Can you get the DEB for the package you need to install?
[21:20] <hydrox24> the .DEB
[21:21] <BobertD> already have the deb  lpr and cupswrapper    need to force install   i386 on 64 bit sys
[21:21] <TJ-> Boreeas: Yes. simply press the "+" button at the bottom of the preview pane in the "Look" tab of the "Appearance" dailog
[21:21] <TJ-> BobertD: It might help if you tell us what release of Ubuntu, and the make/model of printer
[21:22] <emil-> How can I share a folder on my network so I can access it from my other computer?
[21:22] <BobertD> again     11,10       ubuntu   and brother mfc495cw
[21:23] <TJ-> BobertD: Thanks. So from what you're asking am I correct in assuming you have to use drivers provided by Brother?
[21:23] <Boreeas> TJ-: Ah, great, thanks
[21:24] <BobertD> that's the way it worked the last two years
[21:24] <TJ-> BobertD: So something changed recently that had broken it. What has changed?
[21:25] <BobertD> force installed drivers two years ago   and haven't used terminal since .....   kernel upgrade I'm guessing
[21:26] <TJ-> BobertD: Or CUPS maybe. Have you inspected kern.log and syslog to look for clues?
[21:26] <TJ-> BobertD: They're in /var/log/
[21:26] <semitones> Hey -- do I have to restart irssi after I download a theme to ~/.irssi before I can use it?
[21:28] <BobertD> need to spoon fed    only use terminal as needed , last time two years ago
[21:29] <TJ-> BobertD: Have you seen this and tried it? http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11854714&postcount=7
[21:30] <BobertD> looking now
[21:31] <BobertD> only shows simlar prob .....
[21:32] <BobertD> no sollution
[21:32] <TJ-> BobertD: "I started completely from scratch after goofing around for the past 3 weeks trying to fix things. I must have installed the printer at least a dozen times. Going from scratch, slowly, methodically, did the trick for me right from the first try."
[21:32] <TJ-> BobertD: That's the most recent commentary I can find for what you're doing
[21:33] <bolosaur> Hi. I plugged a WiFi USB dongle into my Ubuntu machine (in order to add wifi support), and it appears that the Update Manager wants to install a bunch of network drivers. However, when I try to do so it tells me "Requires installation of untrusted packages."
[21:33] <bolosaur> What gives?!?
[21:33] <bolosaur> This isn't Windows UAC, damn it.
[21:33] <bolosaur> >:(
[21:34] <BobertD> it's reinstall having probs with           command line for  arch force      woyld be helpful
[21:34] <very> ctrl+f doesn't work anymore.. :'(
[21:34] <TJ-> BobertD: pastebin the output from the terminal so we can see
[21:35] <MonkeyDust> bolosaur  try usb-modeswitch
[21:35] <bolosaur> MonkeyDust: Thanks. What's that?
[21:36] <BobertD> aking me to do stuff   that have fortten form two years  past
[21:36] <BobertD> forgotten  from 2 yrs ago
[21:37] <TJ-> bolosaur: That message usually means the Ubuntu archive servers' it connects to are slightly out of date, or in the middle of syncing with the master archive. Sometimes changing the archive mirror you're using will solve it
[21:37] <BobertD> and the pastebin located  where?
[21:37] <MonkeyDust> !info usb-modeswitch > bolosaur
[21:37] <bolosaur> TJ-: How can I fix that?
[21:38] <BobertD> I did say needed  spoon feediing  here .......
[21:39] <TJ-> bolosaur: If that's the problem... start Software Center, do Edit > Software Sources... and on the "Ubuntu Software" tab change the "Download from:" source to another mirror server
[21:41] <bolosaur> hm ok
[21:41] <bolosaur> ill try that
[21:42] <bolosaur> oh great
[21:42] <bolosaur> checked for sources against main server and /usr/bin/jockey-gtk gets an error
[21:42] <bolosaur> ugh
[21:44] <TJ-> bolosaur: Sounds like you migth need to do "sudo apt-get update" and check any errors it reports
[21:44] <bolosaur> ok

[21:48] <pic> quick question is there a decent upnp client in the repository (VLC has been a bit of a disappointment and xbmc is a pain)
[21:48] <BobertD> ok       how does one post to paste bin ?
[21:48] <pic> TBH I just want to get tunes from me upnp server.

[21:50] <faz> hey guys, so i have ubuntu installed on a hdd in a computer here. i wanna remove the hdd and put it in another (better) computer. both are 64-bit machines. am i crazy for thinking this will work?
[21:51] <jagginess> faz, likely, but the main thing that wouldnt' work right away sometimes is the boot loader, you'll just need to grub-install again
[21:52] <faz> hm, why wouldnt the boot loader work? i would have expected that to be possibly the one thing that would still work :)
[21:52] <jagginess> faz, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[21:52] <emes> is there an easy way to install a more recent kernel on 10.04?
[21:53] <tcstar> just installed a lamp server using sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ command but apache won't start... says it cant open /etc/apache2/envars -- any ideas how to repair?
[21:53] <jrib> emes: did you see the versions available in the repositories?
[21:53] <jrib> tcstar: how are you trying to start it?
[21:53] <renode> apt-get update then upgrade then dist-upgrade <--- emes, i believe thats how
[21:53] <tcstar> i've tried service apache2 start and /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[21:53] <tcstar> i've also tried restart
[21:53] <jrib> tcstar: can you pastebin the full output?
[21:54] <pic> jagginess, Have looked at all the options still think vlc should be the best but it simply doesn't seem to work
[21:54] <emes> renode: I want 3.4 or 3.5
[21:54] <jagginess> !vlc
[21:54] <jagginess> pic, ^.
[21:54] <tcstar> no need to pastebin it, its 1 line
[21:54] <tcstar> /etc/init.d/apache2: 51: .: Can't open /etc/apache2/envvars
[21:54] <TJ-> emes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
[21:54] <semitones> hello -- if I'm trying to update my .profile to include my custom scrips in $PATH, do I do it with "export PATH" or just "PATH"?
[21:54] <jagginess> pic, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_media_players
[21:54] <jagginess> ^
[21:55] <pcbsdl1> tcstar: touch /etc/apache2/envvars && service start apache2
[21:55] <pic> Rhythmbox currently in uduntu has no upnp there and other than recompiling the thing I haven't seen a otion.
[21:55] <jrib> tcstar: do you have a /etc/apache2/envvars?
[21:55]  * jagginess thinks whoever asks for an alternative of, then suggest he uses the orginal non-alternative is really trolling.
[21:55] <emes> TJ-: thanks. I know those are unsupported, but should I expect them to work without issues?
[21:55] <tsimpson> semitones: just PATH=
[21:55] <tcstar> pcbsdl1: didnt work
[21:56] <tcstar> jrib: i didnt but i do now though its empty
[21:56] <TJ-> semitones: You know if you create ~/bin/ and put them there, that directory will be included in PATH next time you log-in?
[21:56] <semitones> TJ-: i think I tried that once and it didn't work
[21:56] <semitones> tsimpson: thanks!
[21:56] <jrib> tcstar: ... is this a clean system?  Did you previously do something funny regarding apache?
[21:56] <TJ-> emes: I'm running v3.6rc4 with Precise... I've run every version from 3.4 without issue
[21:56] <pic> jagginess, Actually I am just amazed that there is no easy upnp client in 12.04
[21:56] <eric_> I'm having an issue upgrading an older computer with XUbuntu 9.04.
[21:57] <jrib> eric_: what issue?
[21:57] <TJ-> semitones: It you look in ~/.profile there's a stanza "if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then;    PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH" "
[21:57] <eric_> When I put the Xubuntu 12.04 alternate cdrom in and run /media/cdrom0/cdromupgrade I get this error:
[21:57] <eric_> AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'init_config'
[21:57] <jrib> eric_: you can't upgrade directly from 9.04 to 12.04
[21:57] <tcstar> jrib yeah, i ran apt-get remove lamp-server^ i purged and autoremoved...  and i think in my rage of not getting intl to install i deleted the apache folder from the CLI
[21:57] <eric_> OK.  How do I get there from here?
[21:58] <semitones> TJ-: hmm, yes, that's true. I think it might not have worked because I created a .bash_profile at one point to try to accomplish the same thing. It's deleted now.
[21:58] <MonkeyDust> pic  http://upnp.sourceforge.net/
[21:58] <jrib> tcstar: purge the apache2.2-common package and then install apache2 again
[21:58] <TJ-> tcstar: You can do "sudo apt-get --reinstall install apache2" ... that might fix it
[21:58] <eric_> I tried it from a 10.04LTS cd as well, same issue.
[21:58] <jrib> !upgrade | eric_
[21:58] <TJ-> semitones: yeah possibly, or forgot to log-out :p
[21:58] <jrib> eric_: you also can't upgrade directly to 10.04.  You would have to do 9.04 -> 9.10 -> 10.04 -> 12.04.  Or backup your data and do a fresh install of 12.04
[21:59] <pic> Monkeydust: Oh well looks like if I'm going to have to go back to recompiling and extra repository I may as well go back to debian. Figure unbuntu would be a decent brain dead workstation.
[21:59] <eric_> OK.  I'll see if I can find images for 9.10 then.
[21:59] <jrib> eric_: why aren't you just using the update-manager?
[22:00] <eric_> I can go 9.04->9.10  then 9.10->10.04 and then 10.04->12.04
[22:00] <pcbsdl1> eric_: you do realize you can do this in cli ?
[22:00] <jrib> eric_: yes
[22:00] <eric_> Update manager just fails with no messages at all, I suspect it's having the same issue.
[22:00] <jrib> eric_: "same issue"?  What issue?  Did you read the wiki?
[22:01] <eric_> Yeah, I'm reading those pages. Looks like I'm trying to skip too many versions.
[22:01] <MonkeyDust> pic  'mediatomb' seems to be the keyword when it comes to ubuntu/upnp
[22:02] <pic> monketdust: that is the server not the client, I have that running
[22:02] <eric_> I also tried "do-release-upgrade"  and that tells me I can't upgrade from 'jaunty' to 'lucid'
[22:02]  * jagginess uses subsonic for his ipod and webbrowser
[22:02] <jrib> eric_: have you read the wiki?  There are special steps you must follow since you are using an unsupported release
[22:02] <tcstar> k we'll see if that worked when it's done... gotta go for now though.. thanks
[22:03] <pic> mokeydust: I have all the media on a mediatomb server I'm just looking for a client that will play them that keeps out the way.
[22:03] <jagginess> pic, there's also totem
[22:03] <eric_> Any clue where I can find an iso for xubuntu 9.04 alternate for amd64
[22:04] <jrib> eric_: 9.04 is unsupported, why would you want it?
[22:04] <need> mir09 im back
[22:04] <jagginess> !xubuntu
[22:04] <pic> jagginess, totem as a server or client? (not played with it much)
[22:04] <eric_> as a stepping stone to get to 10.04 then 12.04
[22:04] <need> yes it is the latest version of ubuntu. 12.04
[22:04] <jagginess> pic, says it's a upnp client-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UPnP_AV_media_servers_and_clients#Linux
[22:04] <jrib> eric_: does this computer you are upgrading not have an internet connection?
[22:05] <eric_> Yeah.
[22:05] <jagginess> jrib, he's using xubuntu
[22:05] <jagginess> jrib, see what ubottu mentions :/
[22:05] <eric_> I have the internet connection.  I'
[22:05] <eric_> I'm actually on the PC in question right now.
[22:05] <jrib> eric_: then just follow the wiki guide on upgrading unsupported releases.  You don't need to download ISOs
[22:05] <eric_> jrib, what do you suggest?
[22:05] <jagginess> eric_, there are differences between ubuntu and xubuntu, so i'd chgeck out #xubuntu :/
[22:06] <need> is anyone on that can help me figure out how to get a flash drived version of ubuntu to install on a msi cr620 with a blank hard drive ( had to order a new one when the drive head broke on the old one >.>)  when i boot it with the usb flash drive in it says "boot error"
[22:06] <eric_> OK.  I'll check there.
[22:06] <eric_> I found an iso here http://hex1a4.net/xubuntu/mirror/releases/9.10/release/
[22:07] <jagginess> need, try pendrive's usb maker, it can make a usb boot installer from a ubuntu iso
[22:07] <jagginess> need, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[22:08] <jagginess> need, you've got to format the usb stick to a fat32
[22:09] <need> ty i will erase the unetbootin version i have on it and try the pendrive
[22:09] <jagginess> need, (or if you have a spare external cd drive, your netbook may be able to boot off a cd)
[22:09] <pic> jagginess: sorry for being snarky but this has been bugging me for a while...really why doesn't banshee support upnp?
[22:09] <wantharry> I have problem playing video on ubutu , they are skipping the video
[22:09] <pic> jagginess: in ubuntu
[22:09] <krababbel> need: is you bios set to boot from usb?
[22:09] <jagginess> need, pendrive runs to make a usb with an .exe, (unetbootin i've tried, to me it's not as successful as pendrive)
[22:09] <krababbel> need: you unetbootin version should be fine
[22:10] <wantharry> both online and files
[22:10] <need> i dont have the ability to make a boot cd as the only computer that functions atm is this old one running xp and the sd slot & cd tray do not work
[22:10] <jagginess> need, the pendrive link i gave should help ya..
[22:11] <bolosaur> TJ-: apt-get update did nothing :/
[22:11] <bolosaur> but updating works now
[22:11] <bolosaur> it only crashed once
[22:11] <bolosaur> HOWEVER
[22:11] <TJ-> bolosaur: Darn... sorry about that!
[22:11] <bolosaur> it still hasn't fixed my wifi.
[22:11] <bolosaur> Like, when I plug my wifi dongle into my ubuntu computer, i do GET wifi on the syste,
[22:11] <jagginess> bolosaur, apt-get update, maybe you need "sudo', you have to see at least some index gettiog updated
[22:11] <bolosaur> system*
[22:11] <TJ-> bolosaur: Tell us what the device is (either "lsusb" or "lspci -nn" )
[22:11] <need> when i go into my bios and select the usb as the boot option it calls it "floppy: **** ** <-- stuff i cant recall"  and then gives " boot error" as the loading msg so i will try ur pendrive then return
[22:11] <bolosaur> jagginess: I did use sudo. Everything's fine, dandy and updated now
[22:12] <bolosaur> Anyway, let me elaborate. My USB dongle works on the OS side, but it won't actually show up on other computers.
[22:12] <jagginess> need, you need to make a fat32 partition on the usb for the ubuntu installer
[22:12] <bolosaur> It thinks it's sharing the connection
[22:12] <jagginess> need, (not ntfs)
[22:12] <bolosaur> but no other comp can see it
[22:12] <bolosaur> so what's your suggested course of action?
[22:12] <bolosaur> isusb?
[22:13] <krababbel> need: floppy is probably wrong, change the bios settings if possible, or it won't boot from usb like that I'd guess.
[22:13] <TJ-> bolosaur: hang on! that means it is working... you're confusing us :)
[22:13] <bolosaur> lsusb*
[22:13] <need> jagginess im new to literraly all of this ( even irc >.>) so idk how to make a fat32 section
[22:13] <TJ-> bolosaur: Does that PC have a network/internet connection via the WiFi ?
[22:13] <jagginess> bolosaur, maybe your usb dongle is usb3, which is why it may not show up on older computer hardware.
[22:13] <bolosaur> TJ-: No, it gets internet via USB+iPhone.
[22:13] <jagginess> need, usually they are already formatted fat32
[22:13] <bolosaur> jagginess: Maybe!
[22:14] <jetrost> where does aptitude install files? like if i install package "murmur", where would i then find the "murmur.x86" and "murmur.ini" files?
[22:14] <jagginess> need, windows uses 3 types of filesystems, fat32, ntfs, and (exfat)
[22:14] <TJ-> bolosaur: And by "show up on other computers" do you mean, those other PCs can't find the laptop with the WiFi dongle using, say, Samba network sharing?
[22:14] <jagginess> need, fat32 is common for linux installers that are on usb
[22:14] <bolosaur> TJ-: No I mean that my ubuntu computer's shared wifi connection doesn't show up as a wifi network on other computers
[22:14] <TJ-> jetrost: To discover all the files a package installs do "dpkg-query -L <package-name>"
[22:14] <bolosaur> also jagginess according to this website i'm looking at, my usb network dongle is usb 2.0
[22:15] <TJ-> bolosaur: So, you're configured it as a WAP using hostapd?
[22:15] <jagginess> need, you can check with diskmanager (rt-click Computer, maybe the 'Manage' link)
[22:15] <bolosaur> hostapd?
[22:15] <bolosaur> I don't know what that is.
[22:15] <bolosaur> I plugged my dongle into the comp, and used the network manager to create an ad hoc network.
[22:15] <TJ-> bolosaur: Ahhh thank-you! now we understand
[22:15] <jagginess> need, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000
[22:15] <bolosaur> Heh
[22:15] <need> jagg ty but i think its solved now >.> when i went into bios ( after reading of a similar problem a person had) and changed the "usb setting" from "auto" to " harddrive" it loaded properly
[22:16] <jagginess> need, good
[22:16] <need> gonna try toinstall it now and hope for the best
[22:16] <TJ-> bolosaur: Have you examined the logs files for clues as to why it's not happening? both on the Ubuntu PC and on the others?
[22:16] <jagginess> (i wouldn't want to elaborate more on how to use this m$ tool :))
[22:16] <bolosaur> TJ-: I did lsusb and it shows - among other lines
[22:16] <BobertD> trying to install brother mfc495cw drivers  and got this far
[22:16] <BobertD> Setting /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd to complain mode. robertd@robertd-laptop:~$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/model mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/share/cups/model': File exists robertd@robertd-laptop:~$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/cups/mfc495cw robertd@robertd-laptop:~$
[22:16] <bolosaur> Bus 002 Device 002: ID 2001:3308 D-Link Corp.
[22:16] <bolosaur> so that means it works i guess?
[22:16] <bolosaur> also TJ- i dont know what logs that would be
[22:17] <bolosaur> :/
[22:17] <TJ-> bolosaur: "lsusb" simply lists the device names and unique IDs... but as NetworkManager has let you create an ad-hoc network on it, the drivers etc. are all found and happy
[22:17] <TJ-> bolosaur: Log files are in /var/log/  ... from the dashboard  do "Log file viewer"
[22:18] <bolosaur> Also MonkeyDust, according to ubuntu software center, usb-modeswitch is already installed :)
[22:18] <delinquentme> I'm opening text files through bash ... and each file is basically tied to the bash window instance it was opened in ... how can I open multiple files without having the bash windows state tied up?
[22:18] <bolosaur> TJ-: alright
[22:18] <DaDaDOSPrompt> open them in what, delinquentme?
[22:18] <DaDaDOSPrompt> which program in bash are you using to do that?
[22:18] <TJ-> bolosaur: Have you tested the wifi as a regular client - connected it to a wireless access point?
[22:19] <jrib> delinquentme: append & to the command (you should google "bash job control")
[22:19] <delinquentme> DaDaDOSPrompt, gedit
[22:19] <bolosaur> TJ-: Yes, and it works it seems.
[22:19] <DaDaDOSPrompt> in bash?
[22:19] <bolosaur> It finds other networks, and I connected to another ad-hoc network after which it asked me to authenticate
[22:19] <DaDaDOSPrompt> so you're opening files by typing, in bash, `gedit <filename>` ?
[22:19] <bolosaur> so I'm guessing that it works
[22:19] <TJ-> delinquentme: I think what you want is to put the process into the background so control of the terminal returns to you. To do that in a shell, postfix  the "&" character to your commands
[22:19] <bolosaur> TJ-: I'm checking the log, and it's constaly going
[22:19] <TJ-> bolosaur: OK .. so it's an ad-hoc issue not a general WiFi connectivity issue
[22:20] <TJ-> bolosaur: They do that :p
[22:20] <bolosaur> blah blah wlan1 blah blah blabh - trying to scan for other IBSS networks with same SSID (merge)
[22:20] <DaDaDOSPrompt> delinquentme, I suspect TJ's advice is what you want
[22:20] <bolosaur> constantly*
[22:20] <delinquentme> So the thing is on my other bash console .. I can just infnitely open up windows .. without changing any part of the command
[22:20] <bolosaur> so it seems that it's working
[22:20] <jetrost> TJ-: thanks.
[22:20] <TJ-> bolosaur: You can disable the auto-scroll from the menu
[22:20] <bolosaur> Hmmm TJ, do you think that Ubuntu is for some reason hiding the network?
[22:20] <jrib> delinquentme: what is your question?
[22:20] <bolosaur> instead of showing it publicly
[22:20] <TJ-> bolosaur: Well if it's scanning thats good. Are all the PCs using the same SSID for the ad-hoc? same encryption scheme?
[22:21] <bolosaur> I don't know what that is.
[22:21] <bolosaur> So I don't know what to answer. :(
[22:21] <bolosaur> Or rather I don't understand what you're asking.
[22:21] <TJ-> bolosaur: You can choose to hide the SSID on a network... but I think there's an explicit setting for that
[22:21] <bolosaur> You know, now that I mention this, I do recall seeing an error message upon booting Ubuntu
[22:21] <bolosaur> stating something about.. some kind of conflict
[22:21] <bolosaur> and that networks would be hidden because of it
[22:21] <delinquentme> jrib, how to use bash just to open files in gedit .. and have the state of that file ( open or closed ) be disconnected from bash after initiation of the command .. say " $ gedit ~/test_file.html "
[22:21] <bolosaur> it only happens when i boot
[22:22] <bolosaur> ill try to reboot and see what it says
[22:22] <TJ-> bolosaur: hang on!
[22:22] <jrib> delinquentme: I and someone else already told you how to do that.  Append & to your command
[22:22] <delinquentme> and then WHILE that file is open in Gedit ... i can go back to a single bash window ... and open say another file
[22:22] <bolosaur> ok
[22:22] <TJ-> bolosaur: For boot time kernel messages, check the /var/log/dmesg
[22:22] <delinquentme> jrib, but im saying theres something that I've done which doesnt require that appending of &
[22:22] <bolosaur> how?
[22:23] <bolosaur> can i use log file viewer?
[22:23] <delinquentme> you're saying " $ gedit ~/test_file.html & gedit ~/other_file.html"
[22:23] <jrib> delinquentme: you probably start gedit in one bash instance.  Then when you run "gedit FILE" in another bash instance it just tells the existing gedit to open a file (i.e. another instance of gedit is not started)
[22:23] <TJ-> bolosaur: also... if you disable auto-scrolling you can scroll  back in /var/log/syslog where you should find where the PC booted last, then work forwards in time to see if that boot warning messages is captured in the log
[22:23] <need> ok ubuntu is up and running fine gonna install it to my HDD then melt down that flash drive bc it gave me so much trouble >.> ( not really)
[22:24] <jrib> delinquentme: well if you know beforehand you want to open multiple files, then you should just do: gedit FILE1 FILE2 &
[22:24] <TJ-> delinquentme: Did you press Ctrl+Z ... that will suspend a process and but it in the background
[22:24] <need> ty all VERY much for the help and i hope i nvr have to use this again :3
[22:24] <TJ-> need: congratulations for sticking with it :)
[22:25] <need> ya... i still plan to "aquire" a copy opf windows 7 ASAP and while i will run ubuntu along side it i want access to my League of legends and Steam and as far as i kno ubuntu doesnt have those
[22:25] <bolosaur> TJ-: I don't understand how i would be able to find anything intelligible
[22:25] <bolosaur> this log file is huge
[22:25] <jagginess> need, well later this year, valve will be release its edition on linux hehehe
[22:26] <bolosaur> ill just reboot
[22:26] <TJ-> bolosaur: They are, and they are frequently our saviour
[22:26] <bolosaur> and see if i see anythign
[22:26] <bolosaur> heh
[22:26] <TJ-> bolosaur: OK
[22:26] <need> <-- i play games on mylaptop and that is what im after so if u can reccomend any good strategy games or tower defense etc for ubuntu i would be very grateful
[22:27] <PeterGriffin> People, please tell me, is it possible to restore mysql base that is not archivated in phpmyadmin from the archive of the file system
[22:27] <epinky> need: Minesweeper?
[22:27] <need> o btw how do i change my name on this IRC bc i wasnt after " need" for a name but it deleted 90% of the name ( need help with ubuntu)
[22:27] <jagginess> need, gparted live cd, is commonly used to resize partitions, if you wish to resize linux later, i'd suggest to sticking to a very simple partition scheme for now: 1 ext4 (for /) and 1 for swap
[22:27] <jrib> need: /nick your_name_here (don't use spaces)
[22:27] <need> ty
[22:27] <jagginess> need, (don't use "logical" partitions if using dosmbr partition style table), you can use gpt if you want win7 can recognize gpt
[22:28] <jagginess> need, (but if you use gpt, you'll need to setup a special grub partition)
[22:28] <PeterGriffin> I just want to know that it is possible
[22:28] <PeterGriffin> or i am dead
[22:28] <need> jagginess none of what u say made anysense i do not deal with code or anything outside the realm of games with computers ( tho i will be learning c++ and some other things next spring)
[22:28] <TJ-> PeterGriffin: If some process still has the database files open, then yes.
[22:29] <jagginess> need, also it's commonly suggested to install winbloze first so that a linux setup later can add an entry to the grub menu easily
[22:29] <jagginess> need, well if you do multibooting, you will have to fix your boot loaders
[22:29] <jagginess> need, (you'll need to read up about it)
[22:29] <bolosaur> TJ-: Found it!!
[22:29] <PeterGriffin> TJ-: the system is preinstalled
[22:30] <bolosaur> TJ-: http://ubuntu-se.org/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=3604&sid=826221e2e1525e3e6ced804dc53724f1
[22:30] <bolosaur> This is what I get.
[22:30] <TJ-> bolosaur: lookinh
[22:31] <TJ-> bolosaur: solution appears to be in comment #3 of this https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/81247
[22:31] <mjuszczak> uhm, I just signed onto my ubuntu session and my background/left menu is missing.  Does that mean something may have gotten corrupted?
[22:31] <mjuszczak> is there a way to attempt to repair it?
[22:33] <TJ-> PeterGriffin: If the files are still in /var/lib/mysql/ you're in luck
[22:33] <PeterGriffin> TJ-: do you mean that as i have installed new os it wont be possible to extract the mysql base from the old filesystem?
[22:33] <bolosaur> TJ-: Ill give it a spin
[22:33] <TJ-> PeterGriffin: If you over-wrote it, its gone I'm afraid
[22:33] <TJ-> bolosaur: Not sure that's causing the loss of ad-hoc though
[22:33] <PeterGriffin> oooo
[22:33] <PeterGriffin> i have an archive of /var
[22:34] <TJ-> PeterGriffin: You might be in luck then!
[22:34] <PeterGriffin> yessss
[22:34] <PeterGriffin> i love you TJ
[22:34] <jagginess> PeterGriffin, ya, there's a way, there's many guides on how to migrate. What you're doing is sort of like a migration
[22:34] <PeterGriffin> you made me happy
[22:34] <TJ-> PeterGriffin: You're too late - my boyfriend got there first :p
[22:36] <PeterGriffin> oo it doeasn't matter. its all so wonderful already
[22:36] <bolosaur> TJ-: idk yeah
[22:36] <bolosaur> we'll see
[22:37] <bolosaur> TJ-: its late and i gotta hit the hay
[22:38] <bolosaur> but thanks for helping me so far :)
[22:38] <bolosaur> ill hit you up later mate
[22:38] <bolosaur> take care
[22:38] <TJ-> bolosaur: good luck
[22:38] <bolosaur> thanks :)
[22:38] <PeterGriffin> thank you TJ- and jagginess, you gave me hope that i may keep my head
[22:39] <freestat1> hi
[22:40] <TJ-> bolosaur: I just looked at the adhoc settings here. The "Automatic" band selection could mean your PC is on the 5Ghz band and the other PCs arent
[22:40] <bolosaur> TJ-: what does that mean :P
[22:41] <bolosaur> is that like a frequency?
[22:41] <TJ-> bolosaur: yes.
[22:41] <bolosaur> ah
[22:41] <bolosaur> can it be changed+
[22:41] <bolosaur>  ?*
[22:41] <TJ-> bolosaur: 802.11b/g is at 2.4GHz, 802.11a is at 5GHz. it is possible that is different at one end. You can explicitly set the band to make sure that isn't the issue
[22:42] <very> Where would I ask how to restore the default keyboard shortcuts of gedit?
[22:42] <bolosaur> ah thats cool
[22:42] <bolosaur> too bad i shut everything down
[22:42] <helpme22> hail !
[22:42] <bolosaur> but i saved your comments and will try it tomorrow :)
[22:42] <TJ-> bolosaur: also...
[22:42] <bolosaur> yeah?
[22:43] <TJ-> bolosaur: on the "IPv4" tab of the wireless connections dialog, you might need to select Method: "Shared to other computers" rather than "DHCP" - that latter is for clients of the network
[22:43] <bolosaur> i think it already has that set
[22:43] <bolosaur> the "share connection" dialogue probably sets it up right
[22:44] <Costeelation> someone speak sanish?
[22:44] <TJ-> !es | Costeelation
[22:44] <bolosaur> but ill look at it again
[22:44] <wilee-nilee> !es
[22:44] <bolosaur> tomorrow
[22:44] <bolosaur> TJ-: thanks for all your help today pal :D
[22:44] <bolosaur> much appreciated. hopefully i can get this sucker working tomorrow
[22:45] <TJ-> bolosaur: good luck
[22:45] <bolosaur> cheers mate
[22:45] <bolosaur> see ya

[22:51] <plzhlp> Hello all
[22:51] <Costeelation> hi
[22:51] <plzhlp> Was wondering if some one can offer me some help with iptables
[22:52] <plzhlp> or can point me in the right direction
[22:52] <plzhlp> My question is simple, thus it will have complex answer heh...
[22:52] <tsimpson> !firewall | plzhlp
[22:53] <pantheon> here is different stripes appears over screen and mouse pointer does not mapping properly
[22:54] <plzhlp> So anyone willing to help before I type my heart out?
[22:55] <tonsofpcs> nope
[22:55] <nydel> plzhlp: willing to try i am
[22:55] <tonsofpcs> we might be willing to help afterwads.
[22:55] <plzhlp> Thanks!
[22:55] <tonsofpcs> *afterwards
[22:55] <nydel> tonsofpcs: teehee :)
[22:55] <plzhlp> firstly I  wonder is iptables the same in ubuntu as it as in all other distros and firmwares... such as ddwrt
[22:56] <tonsofpcs> iptables is iptables is iptables*
[22:56] <tonsofpcs> *barring changes between revisions
[22:56] <plzhlp> Ok great I shall tell you my tale then
[22:56] <plzhlp> here goes
[22:57] <plzhlp> I have a standard local network / router is <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:57] <plzhlp> This network supports DHCP and wireless users that do not need restriction in any way shape or form.
[22:57] <tonsofpcs> your router's internal (private) interface is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[22:57] <plzhlp> I have 3 wired machines on this very same network that should be allowed access only to 1 certain URl (my own website)
[22:57] <plzhlp> I have a static range and DHCP range. This firewall rule should only be enforced for the NON DHCP range.
[22:58] <nydel> plzhlp: ...
[22:58] <plzhlp> I basicly need to whitelist 1 address for 3 machines / block everything else and allow all for my DHCP range
[22:59] <Praxi> hmm I installed Plone on 12.04 server using this sudo ./install.sh --target=Plone --password=Password standalone  that installed it to currentpath\Plone  .  Can I just run that line again with the correct path to install it somewhere else, or do I need to uninstall my previous version?
[22:59] <nydel> plzhlp: is your website local?
[22:59] <tonsofpcs> plzhlp: and this is hard for you?
[22:59] <plzhlp> no its on the net its not google uses only 1 returnable address
[22:59] <plzhlp> here is my script
[22:59] <dr_willis> Praxi:  id have to say check the plone docs. when in doubt. i would uninstall it first.
[22:59] <plzhlp> iptables -N wanout
[23:00] <tonsofpcs> uh.
[23:00] <tonsofpcs> use a pastebin.
[23:00] <plzhlp> ohh yeh
[23:00] <plzhlp> pastebin
[23:00] <plzhlp> :)
[23:00] <nydel> plzhlp: is your website local?
[23:00] <tonsofpcs> !paste | plzhlp
[23:00] <Praxi> dr_willis, how do you uninstall in ubuntu/linux?
[23:01] <very> somehow i think it's impossible to restore gedit's keyboard shortcuts without reinstalling ubuntu. i already reinstalled gedit.
[23:01] <dr_willis> Praxi:  since you did NOT use the package manager system/deb files.. NO idea.. check the docs for that program.
[23:01] <nydel> Praxi: at command line, do this: "sudo apt-get remove $applicationname"
[23:01] <jrib> very: that would be pretty impressive
[23:01] <plzhlp> http://pastebin.com/SMmXi3Ky
[23:01] <dr_willis> Praxi:  its possible it came with some uninstall script
[23:01] <Praxi> I know ./ runs things, is there a reverse?  oh right, I would need a uninstall.sh or similar woulnd't I
[23:01] <jrib> very: you just need to figure out where in your home directory they are stored
[23:02] <dr_willis> Praxi:  it totally depejns on who wrote the .sh we DONT know.
[23:02] <Praxi> roger
[23:02] <Praxi> ty
[23:02] <dr_willis> !find plone
[23:02] <dr_willis> the use of stand alone installers is - rather.. frowned upon in the linux world.
[23:03] <very> or maybe it's just the configuration of a plugin of gedit. i'm not sure where to look for it.
[23:03] <nydel> dr_willis: what are y'all trying to do? install/uninstall what sort of thing?
[23:03] <dr_willis> nydel:  somthing he installed with some install.sh script
[23:03] <wubino> my computer stopped reading the hardrive, it spins the disk but that is it... any ideas?
[23:04] <abyss42> I am using django DateTimeField in my model ..and when i do model.date_created() and compare it with datetime.datetime.now() after 5 mins model.date_created() is 6 hrs in the future. Is this a familiar issue?
[23:04] <dr_willis> raxi    | hmm I installed Plone on 12.04 server using this sudo ./install.sh --target=Plone --password=Password
[23:04] <dr_willis> standalone  that installed it to currentpath\Plone
