[15:01] <unless> Sorry, I got disconnected. I was asking about Launcher icon option aren't showing at my Appearence System Settings menu, any ideas please?
[15:01] <subz3r0> systemd0wn, coze i had a similiar problem during the installation. I tried to install from ubs-stick. but the used program for the usbstick made a mistake
[15:02] <subz3r0> systemd0wn, from dvd/cd or usbstick? if usb-stick use unetbootin
[15:02] <systemd0wn> subz3r0, I'll re-make and give it a shot. I'll try anything at this point.
[15:02] <vokevybez> i try to run mugen 1 via wine it brings up this http://pastebin.com/7VHv0PC1 can anyone help me fix this?
[15:02] <subz3r0> systemd0wn, so youre trying it from usb-stick?
[15:02] <systemd0wn> subz3r0, yes.
[15:02] <galicke> Hi, where can I find GLIBCXX_3.4.15 please?
[15:02] <galicke> sudo apt-get install GLIBCXX_3.4.15 => GLIBCXX_3.4.15 not found
[15:03] <opalepatrick> How can I revert system fonts back to out of the box unity 12.04 - since a couple of app crashes earlier, I seem to have a wider spaced font in apps like bluefish. Checked myunity and fonts are all ubuntu.
[15:03] <subz3r0> systemd0wn, used the build in usb-stick-maker of ubuntu?
[15:03] <lidar> vokevybez, you probably nee to create that fike manually \
[15:03] <opalepatrick> Same thing in this x-chat ugh
[15:03] <systemd0wn> subz3r0, used another app "Live linux usb creator" I've always used it.
[15:04] <vokevybez> lidar: i need to delete the one that is there and create my own?
[15:04] <subz3r0> systemd0wn, just try it with unetbootin. It took hours for me to figure out, that the build in usb--stick-maker was fu**** up
[15:05] <systemd0wn> subz3r0, thanks. I'm downloading it now.
[15:05] <subz3r0> systemd0wn, you're welcome
[15:05] <ThinkT510> subz3r0: no need for swearing, even if obfuscated
[15:05] <subz3r0> just let us know if it worked
[15:05] <lidar> vokevybez, sure try it
[15:05] <gordonjcp> actually with current ISOs you can just dd them to a USB stick
[15:05] <grumpy> I opened mythbuntu and it said that "Because this AVI file index is broken or missing, seeking will not work correctly" I'm not sure what that means...
[15:05] <subz3r0> ThinkT510, lol. ok ;D
[15:06] <vokevybez> lidar : okay I will
[15:06] <gordonjcp> grumpy: it means the AVI file is damaged
[15:06] <gordonjcp> grumpy: it may not have finished downloading completely
[15:06] <gordonjcp> grumpy: you can fake your way around it with mplayer --index (or --idx maybe)
[15:06] <DexterF> hi
[15:07] <Walther> So, any info on the power regression?
[15:07] <DexterF> I need the current 12.04 kernel's .config but don't have a 12.04 at hand - in which package would I find it?
[15:07] <gordonjcp> Walther: "power regression"?
[15:07] <Walther> battery life
[15:07] <gordonjcp> what about it?
[15:07] <Walther> powertop reports 22W even after switching all tunables on
[15:07] <vokevybez> lidar : it outputs the same error
[15:08] <Walther> I get 2:30 tops on this laptop, I used to get over 4h
[15:08] <gordonjcp> Walther: maybe your machine is drawing 22W
[15:08] <Walther> It most probably is, but it shouldn't.
[15:08] <lidar> vokevybez, that error is from the file note existing, not bieng where it is looking, or else permissions
[15:08] <Walther> I used to get almost twice the battery life out of this not too long ago
[15:08] <Walther> (no, this is not a case of a dead battery.)
[15:09] <gordonjcp> Walther: what has changed since then?
[15:09] <Walther> ubuntu version?
[15:09] <Walther> and all the updates
[15:09] <grumpy> Weird I was playing the movie the day before yesterday, me and my kid were watching it (Green Lantern Emerald Nights"). Thanks every one...
[15:09] <Walther> I'm talking about a difference between 10.04 and now or something
[15:10] <rejo_mangun> hi
[15:10] <Guest22244> sir , please someone help, trying to update 11.10 to 12.4 but cant see the upgdrade in update manager
[15:11] <Guest22244> sir , please someone help, trying to update 11.10 to 12.4 but cant see the upgdrade in update manager
[15:11] <Walther> Guest22244: try running update-manager -d
[15:11] <vokevybez> lidar: the file exists and its permissions are set so that anyone can read or write it
[15:11] <Guest22244> did that walther but still cant see it
[15:11] <lidar> !patience | Guest22244
[15:11] <vokevybez> lidar : the linux executable does not work either
[15:11] <Walther> Guest22244: sudo apt-get update
[15:12] <k1l_> Guest22244: what happens if you try "update-manager" with alt+f2
[15:12] <Walther> Guest22244: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:12] <lidar> vokevybez, path is wrong perhaps ?
[15:12] <bobweaver> Guest22244, you should be asking this question in #ubuntu+1
[15:12] <ThinkT510> !dist-upgrade | Walther
[15:12] <Guest22244> walther it just says that your system is upto date
[15:12] <vokevybez> lidar : where do i specify the path?
[15:13] <Walther> ThinkT510: I know that. I was just thinking that perhaps he should update his packages first.
[15:13] <Walther> Guest22244: then update-manager should work fine, that's odd
[15:13] <unless> Which app is used to edit Launcher icons size really?
[15:13] <bobweaver> woops my bad read that wrong :/
[15:13] <Walther> Guest22244: see system settings - software sources
[15:14] <Walther> Guest22244: is the check for updates set to "LTS only"
[15:14] <Walther> even if it were it should pull it as 12.04 is an LTS version, but you might want to set it to "any new version"
[15:14] <Walther> and see if it then allows you to upgrade to 12.04
[15:14] <k1l_> Walther: since 12.04.1 is out it would upgrade. i would demand the output of lsb_release and the apt-get output
[15:14] <DJones> unless: As I said earlier, myunity
[15:15] <Walther> k1l_: well you continue
[15:15] <unless> DJones, thank you a lot. :D
[15:15] <k1l_> Walther: gotta leave for family dinner, just meant to give a hint :)
[15:16] <Guest22244> no sir its fime
[15:16] <compdoc> 12.04.01 seems nice, and seems to have fixed several bugs
[15:16] <Guest22244> Walther , sir that looks fine.. is there any other way to upgrade
[15:16] <lidar> Guest22244, new install is always an option !
[15:17] <systemd0wn> subz3r0, haha! Used unetbootin, then when loaded i did a media integrity check and it failed.

[15:20] <systemd0wn> subz3r0, thanks I'll take a look
[15:21] <DHR> on 12.04, my automatically created /boot/grub/grub.cfg correctly contains menu entries for my Fedora partition's kernels too.  But if I run grub-mkconfig, the new configfile does not have those entries.  Any idea how to properly get an updated configfile with those entries?
[15:22] <lidar> DHR, could manually copy/paste them in ?
[15:23] <DexterF> nvm, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/configs/precise/
[15:23] <daninoz> hi, does anyone know an app to convert srt subtitles to idx/sub
[15:23] <jrib> DHR: hmm, why run grub-mkconfig?  What does it do exactly?  update-grub is what is recommended after making changes to /etc/default/grub
[15:25] <daninoz> In windows I found txt2vobsub, but I can't find an alternative in ubuntu
[15:26] <DHR> jrib: update-grub's manpage says it is just a grub-mkconfig wrapper that provides a "-o /boot/grub/grub.cfg".  That means that it should produce the same result BUT screw up my grub.cfg file while I'm just testing.
[15:27] <jrib> DHR: make a copy of grub.cfg and verify. Those entries should be coming from /etc/grub.d/* which I know get called when you run update-grub
[15:28] <root__> +i
[15:28] <Crawly> root__: Error: "i" is not a valid command.
[15:28] <root__> j
[15:28] <SomeGuy> !rootirc | root__
[15:29] <jrib> DHR: if the issue persists, then I guess you have to troubleshoot those scrits in /etc/grub.d/*
[15:30] <krababbel> why would xdm suddenly stop loading at boot? init script is there
[15:31] <DHR> lidar: of course I could manually paste them in.  But that surely isn't the proper way.  (1) it would get washed away every time an ubuntu update required updating grub.cfg (eg. a kernel update), (2) it would require me struggling every time Fedora updated its own grub configuration (eg. each time a new kernel is installed).
[15:32] <jrib> DHR: but, yes I just read the update-grub script and it's likely not to make a difference.  So check the scripts in /etc/grub.d/.  There's one there that checks for other linux installs
[15:34] <allb8ni> ciao a tutti
[15:34] <allb8ni> list!
[15:37] <daninoz> hi, does anyone know an app to convert srt subtitles to idx/sub
[15:39] <jrib> daninoz: subs in libsubtitles-perl
[15:40] <tdelam> no, not the right one
[15:40] <tdelam> woops
[15:42] <jrib> daninoz: I've never used it, but the description sounds promising anyway
[15:44] <geemee> Hi there. slightly OT. I have a bash script that I was to save as a PDF (yes that is correct) and for it to display correctly with syntax highlighting. It looks nice in sublime text but ST doesnt print or export as rtf. Any suggestions?
[15:44] <jrib> daninoz: a lot of suggestions here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360129
[15:46] <Roasted> I SSH into my server so much I want to create a keyboard shortcut for it calling a bash script. Only part I'm confused over is how would I get it to call on terminal, THEN issue "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and have it press enter? I'd love to have a keyboard command to instantly bring up an SSH session to my server.
[15:47] <jrib> Roasted: gnome-terminal with -x or -e (try both and see what's the difference).  See « man gnome-terminal »
[15:48] <BluesKaj> Roasted:  you could set up a script to ssh at startup, perhaps or do an alias command in ~/.bashrc , that works from the command line
[15:48] <daninoz> jrib, thanks, but that is only for convert from idx/sub to srt. I need the other way: from srt to idx/sub
[15:49] <jrib> daninoz: ah
[15:50] <jrib> daninoz: if you google "srt2sub" there are some hits for a perl script.  I've never used it.  Are you sure none of the subtitle editors suggested in the forum thread can do this conversion?  Seems kind of surprising
[15:51] <jrib> daninoz: for example, that gaupol program looks fairly comprehensive
[15:55] <daninoz> jrib, that apps work with the sub format, but not with the idx/sub. sub is a text based file, while idx/sub is a graphic based file.

[16:07] <lidar> py_can, add pasv_enable=no
[16:08] <py_can> lidar: looks like that worked. Now i'm getting 500 permission denied errors. Let's see what that's about..
[16:08] <lidar> py_can, hosts is not the problem .. it may be the issue on the remote side if your trying to connect to a hostname
[16:08] <py_can> lidar: i am using a hostname, yes
[16:08] <py_can> to connect to it
[16:08] <Spiffing> !hostname
[16:10] <lidar> py_can, if the hostname resolves to the proper ip address then the hosts file doesnt matter
[16:10] <py_can> lidar: ok
[16:11] <lidar> py_can, also your router might./should be blocking your connection unless you have a seperate connection on the outside for testing
[16:11] <py_can> No, I'm quite certain it's working correctly because SSH and apache work fine lidar
[16:12] <py_can> i'm just getting permission errors now ;)

[16:17] <py_can> oskar-, External clients couldnt connect to my VSFTPD server. So I set pasv_enable=NO, and now it works. But after login in, the ftp server spews out a "500 Illegal PORT command." error and time out.

[16:20] <W4sp> py_can: s/command/command port/
[16:21] <py_can> W4sp, I see. And this is due to iptables on my server.. or my router? open up 20 as a data port?

[16:28] <safinaskar> cosming: but note: testdisk recover one partition and deletes other :) so, make sure that you recover your partition but leave other unchanged
[16:28] <oskar-> cosming:  you could try to find out the positions of the ext4 superblock copies by "mkfs.ext4 -n", then try to repair it with that information. there are several howtos on the web...
[16:28] <steven_> i am  a fresh man
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> dedesigns57: you could report a bug, as far as I know it's a known issue
[16:29] <safinaskar> cosming: also try "acronis disk director". of course, this is not open-source world and not linux-world solution, but it works
[16:29] <dedesigns57> okay thanks

[16:35] <fidel> matts45acp: the app 'Disk Utility' offers reading the samrt data
[16:35] <wilee-nilee> matts45acp, You can use the smart data function in the disk utility of the install or a live cd.
[16:35] <fidel> if that is what you are looking for
[16:36] <py_can> lidar: It works! Love you!
[16:37] <matts45acp> lidar, seems disk utility is installed how do i run it
[16:39] <oguz> anybody knows hot to change the BIOS settings from command line?
[16:39] <oguz> hot=how
[16:40] <compdoc> oguz, not sure thats a good idea, even if its possible
[16:40] <lidar> oguz, reboot press f2 f12 or whatever ... to access it
[16:40] <matts45acp> lidar, says i have a few bad sectors how do i fix that?
[16:40] <oguz> compdoc: i am trying to do a central BIOS update for thinclients
[16:41] <lidar> matts45acp, fsck
[16:41] <oguz> lidar: i am searching for thinclients
[16:41] <matts45acp> lidar, whats fsck and how do i get it?
[16:41] <krababbel> What package do I need to have basic gtk3 support? gtk3-engines seems not enough.
[16:41] <compdoc> matts45acp, if its has reallocated sectors, you need a new drive
[16:43] <trism> krababbel: are you compiling code? if so, libgtk-3-dev
[16:43] <Yerushalmi> I'm going crazy here. Every so often my computer randomly disconnects from the wifi, and I can't reconnect until I restart. Can anybody help me with this?
[16:43] <lidar> Yerushalmi, have an error message from syslog or dmesg ?
[16:44] <krababbel> trism: No, I have some glitch in gnome-system-monitor, because it wants gtk3. I installed a commandline system, so gtk3 seems missing
[16:44] <Yerushalmi> lidar: How do I find out?
[16:44] <DHR> matts45acp: fsck is a command-line tool.  What kind of bad sectors do you have?  SMART classifies them.
[16:44] <trism> krababbel: if an app in the repos needs gtk3, it will dep on it, so you shouldn't need to do anything special
[16:44] <jrib> krababbel: what glitch?
[16:45] <lidar> Yerushalmi, after it disconnects open a xterm and type dmesg
[16:45] <|Anthony|> how can i use nautilus search to find any file that contains the string "sant" regardless of case?
[16:45] <krababbel> jrib, trism: gnome-system-monitor falls back to gtk2, and there are black areas in the window.
[16:45] <DHR> There are sectors that have been relocated (OK if there are not too many; they've been dealt with).  There are sectors pending relocation -- not good, need action.
[16:45] <trism> krababbel: that seems more like a theming problem
[16:46] <krababbel> trism: I have no gtk.rc files here, so I am looking for a package which would generate them for me.
[16:46] <matts45acp> reallocated sector count is what it says
[16:46] <DHR> matts45acp: not relocated?
[16:46] <jrib> krababbel: my suggestion would be to create a fresh new user and see if the issue persists when you log in with the new user
[16:47] <matts45acp> dhr, no reallocated
[16:47] <RyuGuns> Where are man pages stored? /usr/local/man is empty.
[16:48] <DHR> matts45acp: oops, you are right.
[16:48] <DHR> matts45acp: not a problem unless there are too many OR the number is growing.
[16:48] <trism> RyuGuns: /usr/share/man/
[16:48] <matts45acp> dhr, says just 2
[16:48] <DHR> matts45acp: should be OK, but keep monitoring it to see if it grows.
[16:49] <RyuGuns> trism: Found it, thanks!
[16:49] <oskar-> matts45acp: i would simply exchange the drive, if you still have warranty...
[16:49] <DHR> matts45acp: when a sector shows a problem, the hard drive tries to recover the data, it allocates a new replacement sector, and stores the data there.
[16:50] <DHR> matts45acp: few manufacturers will let you exchange under warranty for a few reallocated sectors.
[16:50] <oskar-> my experience is the opposite of that...
[16:51] <Hann> Hii everyone. Sorry if I'm interrupting something.  The C:/ drive is still there with all my data, but Windows won't start. =/ I've been looking around for help, I'm not sure what to do. I think it may have to do with the fact that the C drive isn't mounted, or maybe I deleted an important partition in the whole dual booting process...
[16:51] <DHR> matts45acp: each manufacturer produces diagnostic software.  For an exchange, that software must declare the drive deffective.  And it won't for a few rallocated sectors.
[16:52] <DHR> matts45acp: if you kick up a fuss, a CSR might well OK and exchange.
[16:53] <|Anthony|> how can i use nautilus search to find any file that contains the string "sant" regardless of case?
[16:53] <wilee-nilee> Hann, did you remove the windows boot partition, and or use the ubuntu installer to resize windows?
[16:54] <trism> krababbel: if you aren't using gnome-settings-daemon, you might try: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/25084/gtk-theme-wont-apply-in-fluxbox (and make sure gnome-themes-standard is installed so you at least have one gtk3 theme available)
[16:54] <Yerushalmi> lidar: Output of dmesg is here: http://pastebin.com/bbrtVCm3
[16:54] <krababbel> trism: thanks a lot?
[16:54] <krababbel> !
[16:55] <asayafa> Guys , myt Ubuntu dont want speak with Windows 7 on LAN... wtf? Comunication with Windows XP /9x /MAC OS X is okay...
[16:55] <Hann> I used Gparted for partitioning. I deleted the smallest partition there was, which was 1 MB. :( When I did that, it also messed up another partition, which was 100 MB big (that one went from having a label, to unallocated space). I think those were the recovery partitions. But, my C drive is still there, with all my data.
[16:56] <krababbel> trism: although that package won't pull any gtk3 theme it seems. Won't I need at least an enginge, like gtk3-engines-unico? Is that what you meant by "theme"?
[16:56] <DHR> Hann: there are a lot of Windows boot failure modes.  Can you not get Ubuntu's grub to boot Windows (which Windows?  Which OEM?)
[16:56] <Hann> the C drive was a boot partition, but now it doesn't have the boot label anymore. I'm looking at the partitions now on gparted
[16:56] <|Anthony|> Hann, google ubuntu boot-repair
[16:56] <DHR> Hann: what's a boot label?  Do you mean "boot record"?
[16:56] <Hann> The grub shows Windows 7 loader...
[16:57] <Hann> the column that says "flags" in gparted. it says boot on the part that has ubuntu, but nothing for C
[16:57] <DHR> When Linux resizes a Win partition, things get broken (superstition, not science).
[16:57] <trism> krababbel: unico is the ubuntu theming engine, gnome-themes-standard has adwaita, the default gtk3 one
[16:58] <trism> krababbel: you can of course install gtk3-engines-unico and light-themes
[16:58] <krababbel> trism: thanks, aidawata is missing in the package description
[16:58] <DHR> Hann: the boot flag is obsolete.  Mostly ignored.  Bog standard MBR used to pay attention to it.
[16:59] <DHR> I don't think Win7 MBR or Grub MBR care about boot flag.
[16:59] <Hann> Oh, ok. I'm looking at boot-repair now.
[16:59] <lidar> Yerushalmi, its just tired trying to deep sleep all the time
[17:01] <lesshaste> what's the name of the fortran compiler?
[17:01] <bruno_> window 0
[17:01] <n8w> anyone runin ubuntu in virtual box?
[17:02] <n8w> or any other virtualization soft
[17:02] <Hann> I'm sad, lol. I finally got Ubuntu to work without wiping my computer. And then Guild Wars 2 comes out yesterday after five years of waiting. ;-;
[17:03] <lidar> n8w, yes at various times
[17:03] <DHR> lesshaste: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2039074
[17:03] <hector__> i`ve just installed ubuntu on my new laptop, it came with gtx 570m and i want the proprietaty video driver installed.. how do i know if it`s already installed or not?
[17:03] <n8w> lidar<-- i was just wonderin, does also takes u ages to do any kind of update?
[17:04] <DHR> hann: did you resize your windows partition?
[17:04] <lidar> Yerushalmi, google that "MAC is in deep sleep"  i bet there is a solution disabling the wake on lan or some sort of power mode in your card
[17:04] <n8w> lidar<-- it takes forever to even execute 120kb update(apt-get install )...setup: i7,6G ram
[17:05] <lidar> n8w, how much ram did you assighn it ?
[17:05] <Hann> no, i left that one alone. I resized the D drive, then made a new partition that i put ubuntu on
[17:05] <DHR> Hann: it is unlikely that Win (8?) is broken then.
[17:05] <wilee-nilee> Hann, The 200 mb was a boot partition
[17:06] <DHR> Hann: deleting recovery partitions is a bad idea
[17:06] <n8w> lidar<-- 2G
[17:06] <Hann> yeah, i know that now
[17:06] <Hann> i didn't know those were recovery partitions
[17:06] <etu`> Hey guys, I'm running an Ubuntu-server 10.04.1 LTS, I think. We run lighttpd and php (fcgi)... and last week, PHP started to leak memory, for no reason. We run the same code on another box and there's no probs... I get sms every 4 hour about it this entire weekend that free mem is low on the box...
[17:06] <Hann> i thought it was in the d drive
[17:06] <etu`> Any known probs around this?
[17:06] <opieng> I have 16GB RAM, do I really need to install ubuntu with 16GB of swap space? Not sure what to do?
[17:07] <hector__> i`ve just installed ubuntu on my new laptop, it came with gtx 570m and i want the proprietaty video driver installed.. how do i know if it`s already installed or not?
[17:07] <etu`> I want to sleep tonight, havent got my weekend yet... rly... and monday tomorrow.
[17:07] <jrib>  opieng if you want to be able to suspend to disk
[17:07] <dougl> BalthaTczar, you still here?
[17:07] <DHR> Hann: worst case, use your recovery DVDs and re-initialize your disk to factory fressh.
[17:07] <opieng> jrib, suspend to disk?
[17:07] <lidar> opieng, if your going to use suspend and sleep i think you need to have equal or more swap as your ram is
[17:07] <jrib> opieng: hibernate in windows
[17:08] <Hann> rebooting computer, hopefully boot-repair worked!
[17:08] <DHR> Hann: what happens when grub tries to chainload Windows?
[17:08] <Hann> chainload?
[17:08] <opieng> ahhh ok
[17:08] <lidar> hector__, lsmod will show what modules are bieng used
[17:08] <hector__> thank you lidar
[17:09] <DHR> Hann: from my grub.cfg: chainloader +1
[17:10] <hector__> i see nouveau loaded lidar , it`s the open-source driver not the proprietary one, right?
[17:11] <Hann> Still not sure what you mean... when I select windows from the grub, the windows logo shows up as if it's starting, then the screen goes black and the computer restarts. If i select windows again, it says start up was abnormal probably because of some hardware or software change then gives me a list of safemode start up options, but it still won't start.
[17:12] <lidar> hector__, that i am not sure of
[17:12] <wilee-nilee> Hann, Post the script that is generated on using that app, the http address
[17:12] <lidar> Hann, looks like your starting over!
[17:12] <etu`> lidar, hector__: the non-free is named "nvidia"
[17:13] <Hann> Sorry. What app are you talking about?
[17:13] <etu`> but does anyone know about any known mem-leaks in php in ubuntu 10.04 server LTS?
[17:13] <DHR> Hector__: look under System Settings: Hardware: Additional Drivers
[17:14] <DHR> Hann: the fact that it gives you those choices sounds hopeful.
[17:14] <DHR> Hann: will none of the choices work?  Do any of them sound useful?
[17:15] <Hann> Let me try. If it does, then I won't come back... If it doesn't, I'll be back soon. :P
[17:15] <lesshaste> DHR: thx
[17:17] <|Anthony|> i have a font installed and in use on my system, but i can't for the life of me find where it lives
[17:17] <|Anthony|> been trying to use nautilus search to find it, but i'm coming up empty
[17:17] <|Anthony|> suggestions?
[17:18] <jrib> |Anthony|: how did you install it?
[17:18] <DHR> |Anthony|: try the locate(1) command
[17:18] <lidar> |Anthony|, try locate fontname
[17:18] <|Anthony|> it was over a year ago...
[17:18] <|Anthony|> i kinda forget
[17:18] <jrib> |Anthony|: did you use the package manager or install it yourself?
[17:18] <|Anthony|> jrib, i installed it myself
[17:19] <jrib> |Anthony|: probably ~/.fonts/
[17:19] <hector__> DHR: thank you for the information, i`m going to check it right now.. just in case if it`s using the open-source driver can i just download the proprietary one and install it or it requires me to unistall the open-source one?
[17:19] <|Anthony|> lidar, locate "santana" turned up empty
[17:19] <DHR> Hector__: that tool is supposed to take care of all the details.
[17:19] <|Anthony|> jrib, gosh darnit
[17:20] <|Anthony|> it's right there
[17:20] <|Anthony|> now i feel dumb
[17:20] <|Anthony|> >.<
[17:20] <DHR> Hector__: you might need to unlock it.
[17:20] <Hann> Ooookay, so I tried to start windows in safe mode, and it started loading the drivers. It stopped and restarted when it got to system32/DRIVERS/CLASSPNP.SYS
[17:21] <hector__> DHR: got it, it says no proprietary drivers are in use in this system
[17:21] <jrib> Hann: out of context, that really doesn't seem to belong in this channel
[17:21] <Hann> Ah sorry, I'm trying to recover windows after dual booting ubuntu
[17:21] <sam___> hey . I installed ClamTK and now GUI Version is not enabled in clams windows why? do i need to enable it?
[17:21] <hector__> DHR: there`s no option to get one, so i am guessing i should just grab a copy of the latest driver from nvidia page itself and install it myself, right?
[17:22] <DHR> hector__: the tool does let you install if you unlock (which requires a password).  Do NOT download the driver by hand.
[17:23] <wobert_> hello
[17:23] <hector__> DHR: can you tell me how i am supposed to unlock it, it`s not asking me a password or anything
[17:23] <wobert_> first time here
[17:24] <wobert_> is there anyone who can help me solve my wireless connection? I am currently accesing internet with a cable, that is one of my issue with a recent upgrade
[17:25] <wobert_> also bash is not showing the promt, and firefox is not working :(
[17:25] <krababbel> trism: Sorry, GTK3 works, I had to create a .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini too. I would like to config GTK2 now also, can I just use the same content of the gtk3 config? The theme I have to change to a gtk2 theme of course.
[17:27] <rsajdok|android> T
[17:28] <Guest48761> siemka
[17:28] <wobert_> anyone can help me solve wireless issue, bash not showing prompt & firefox not opening?
[17:29] <harris> does anyone know a lot about hard drives
[17:29] <DHR> Hector__: to be honest, I don't know how to unlock it.  My machine has no proprietary drivers available.  You could try "sudo jockey-text"
[17:30] <DHR> harris: yes, surely
[17:30] <harris> dhr can we pm
[17:31] <dataholic> how do i check the version of the package?
[17:31] <dataholic> like in other unix pkg_info
[17:31] <DHR> wobert: you've got a lot of problems.  Do you think that they are related?
[17:31] <harris> DHR,  can we pm
[17:31] <DHR> harris: I didn't claim to know a lot about hard disks.  And I'm not interested in private conversations.
[17:32] <harris> who knows a lot about hard drives
[17:32] <DHR> harris: ask your question.  Those who know an answer might respond.
[17:32] <krababbel> trism: looks like more of a libreoffice-gtk3 issue, thanks again :)
[17:32] <wobert_> not really DHR, firefox issue happenned before my recent upgrade
[17:33] <harris> can you convert a 3.5 hard drive to 2.5
[17:33] <wobert_> wireless configuration was hard last time I had issues
[17:33] <wobert_> but I do not know how to solve the wireless issue with this latest ubuntu version
[17:33] <DHR> harris: mechanically?  Not likely if you want it to still function.
[17:33] <harris> wobert_,  clean install
[17:34] <harris> they make 2.5 to 3.5 adapters but i need it vice versa
[17:34] <wobert_> yesterday I discover that batch windos does not show the prompt , which is not excited
[17:34] <hector__> DHR: why i shouldnt try to install the driver myself?
[17:34] <harris> wobert_,  clean install
[17:34] <wobert_> clean install what?
[17:34] <mobhero> hi, what will be the 27 hard disk number-- eg /dev/sda, /dev/sdb ....... /dev/sdz after that ???? pls help me
[17:34] <DHR> wobert_: work on one at a time?  Easiest is probably bash problem
[17:34] <harris> reinstall ubuntu
[17:34] <py_can> How can I prevent users that use php on my server to look at the whole system trough "echo passthru($cmd)" ?
[17:35] <wobert_> DHR, what do you suggest me to do for the bash problem ?
[17:35] <DHR> hector__: going outside the packaging system (.deb) and distro is tricky and you don't seem to be on top of arcane parts of the system.
[17:36] <lidar> mobhero, is this homework ?
[17:36] <DHR> hector__: jockey is supposed to know how to do the tricky things, within ubuntu packaging universe.  If it doesn't know how, there may be a reason.
[17:36] <DHR> wobert_: what, in gory detail, is the bash problem
[17:37] <mobhero> lidar --- sorry i didn't get u...
[17:37] <wobert_> ctrl + alt + t =  terminal without a prompt to add text
[17:37] <lidar> mobhero, looks like your asking a school question
[17:38] <wobert_> that is the issue DHR
[17:38] <mobhero> lidar --- i want to know the answer for this lida...
[17:38] <wobert_> that been said, it is the black terminal (bash) without letting type anything since the prompt is not appearing
[17:38] <mobhero> lidar..
[17:39] <Yerushalmi> lidar: Wow, you have NO IDEA. Apparently every single person in the history of the world with the Intel 3945 wireless card has this problem. And apparently NOBODY knows how to fix it. I found one thread that /might/ have a solution... now I just have to wait and see if it crashes again...
[17:39] <DHR> Harris: if you have a slot for a 2.5" drive, then you are unlikely to have room for a 3.5: drive.  That is probably why adapters are not common, I guess.  Do you mean mechanical adapters or cables?  SATA or PATA?
[17:39] <DHR> Wobert: what about running "terminal"?
[17:39] <harris> idk i am going to find a broken computer and take out the hardrive
[17:40] <wobert_> DHR, same result
[17:41] <xiambax> Whats the powerpc ubuntu channel?
[17:41] <DHR> wobert: sounds as if some initialization file is busted. (~/.*).
[17:42] <wobert_> DHR, how can we check that?
[17:42] <DHR> wobert_: simple test: add a new user, log on as that new user, see if the new user has the same problem
[17:42] <wobert_> DHR, let me do that
[17:42] <lidar> Yerushalmi, yeah seems to be a bug for sure you might wanna check out some kernel lists also maybe someone there might have soemthing
[17:43] <lidar> Yerushalmi, its a kernel issue not a specific ubuntu issue it seems
[17:43] <Yerushalmi> lidar: *nods* Every ubuntu version since like 9 has had it, so I'd gathered.
[17:44] <wobert_> DHR, nice! the guest user terminal works !
[17:44] <bond_> are there any tools to remove sata passwords from hdds for linux?
[17:44] <DHR> Yerushalmi, lidar: wireless is an area where the lack of manufacturers' help holds back Linux.  Lots of variety, a modest number with problems.
[17:44] <Guest65782> whats going on room
[17:45] <DHR> wobert: what does /etc/passwd for your UID say (last field should list your shell).  Is it different from the new user?
[17:46] <lidar> DHR, yeah with push of linux in popularity i hope all the manufacturers dedicate more time / info to the kernel developers
[17:48] <DHR> wobert_: most likely . files to be a problem: .bash*
[17:48] <Yerushalmi> lidar: What I don't get is how this computer managed to avoid developing this problem in the year that I've had it, and what changed just now. But oh well... pray the fix I found actually works :)
[17:49] <wobert_> DHR, how can we fix it?
[17:50] <lidar> kernel version could be the key
[17:51] <py_can> How can I prevent users that use php on my server to look at the whole system trough "echo passthru($cmd)" ?
[17:51] <py_can> i guess this question doesnt belong here
[17:52] <crazySDman> Wow, seems http://ubuntu.com  has blocked my IP for hitting it often with lotta the same requests from my startup script. Help!
[17:52] <lidar> crazySDman, what kind of startup script ?
[17:54] <crazySDman> lidar: one I've made myself. I run a liveboot system, but I apt-get install a lot of stuff rather than make it off my drive. so once or twice a day my IP hits ubuntu.com with the same sorts of requests eg "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras build-essential ..."
[17:55] <lidar> crazySDman, thats kind of rude !
[17:55] <DHR> wobert_: choice (1) learn shell complexities and debug.  or (2) one at a time, replace your .bash* files with those from the new user until things work.
[17:55] <FlatPenny> Hi. I'm trying to convert a sequence of JPGs to a video, and nothing I've found has worked so far (convert, ffmpeg, mencoder). Any experts?
[17:55] <crazySDman> lidar: yeah, I guess so, but I imagine a lot of people running liveboot systems do the same...? At any rate, what should I do! :o
[17:55] <lidar> crazySDman, you should save the files and just update them once a week or so
[17:55] <octi> .
[17:55] <crazySDman> lidar: agreed
[17:56] <Aethrs> I just upgraded to 12.04, what package do I install to give me something other than unity?
[17:56] <crazySDman> lidar: I just haven't quite figured out how to do that yet, like with the prefix= for make & make install...
[17:56] <crazySDman> lidar: so instead of figuring it out, I've just been apt-get install'ing for quite a while :\
[17:56] <lidar> Aethrs, try out xfce of lxde
[17:56] <Aethrs> lidar- Is there just a gnome or something?
[17:56] <Aethrs> or kde?
[17:57] <ThinkT510> !notunity | Aethrs
[17:57] <lidar> Aethrs, sure .. try them all out use the one you like
[17:57] <wobert_> DHR , thanks for your help it will take alot of time from either of the two solutions
[17:58] <luftikuss> I wonder why Ubuntu 12.04.1 installs the package gnupg by default and not gnupg2.
[17:58] <Aethrs> Thanks ThinkT510 :)
[17:59] <crazySDman> lidar: is there anything I can do in the meantime to get unbanned so I can install enough stuff to figure out how to not have to go about apt-get installing everything? :)
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> aetaric: install gnome-panel, log off then select the new session
[18:03] <lidar> crazySDman, i dont know about an unban ... try using a difreent mirror perhaps
[18:03] <crazySDman> so instead of archive.ubuntu.org and security.ubuntu.org ... ?
[18:04] <savio> hey
[18:06] <trism> crazySDman: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors might help
[18:06] <crazySDman> ok thanks
[18:07] <fcanela> Hi! There is any way to make applications output sound both for headphones and aux?
[18:09] <luftikuss> fcanela: Try alsamixer.
[18:10] <louiemat> does anyone have ubuntu 12.10 installed - what do you think?
[18:10] <Signux> Hi! I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) as part of a dual-boot system. I haven't used Windows for months and I'd like to get rid of it. Is there any ways to remove windows without affecting on linux (  like bootloader ) and space up linux file system??????

[18:26] <amigamia> if you are using filezilla to go in to do a root activity, how can you login with ftp if there is no root account so to speak?
[18:26] <frankbro> Is ubuntu minimal cd comparable to debian's business card cd?
[18:27] <py_can> amigamia, use SCP to connect trough SSH instead of FTP to have FTP like abilities while being more secure
[18:27] <py_can> amigamia, if you're using windows: download winscp
[18:27] <amigamia> no i am using commodore os vision - ubuntu distro so it is linux
[18:28] <amigamia> scp?
[18:28] <amigamia> can i find that in software manager?
[18:28] <krababbel> frankbro: looks like netinst, compare sizes
[18:28] <daninoz> does anyone know an app to convert srt subtitles in idx/sub subtitles ?
[18:28] <K350> /c/c
[18:28] <py_can> amigamia: you'd have to ask someone here for an ubuntu equivalent
[18:28] <ThuGie> hi
[18:28] <amigamia> no it is ubuntu i just need to know if it is in the softwaremamager?
[18:28] <K350> can't connect to security.ubuntu.com for updating the source.list
[18:29] <ThuGie> so getting right to the problem :p
[18:29] <ThuGie> i got ubuntu 11.10 on a vps
[18:29] <py_can> amigamia: the program is called winscp under windows. I dont know what it is called on Ubuntu.
[18:29] <ThuGie> a app i use called zpanel needs crond but i cant find any info on installing it
[18:29] <ThuGie> i was told vixie-cron but the package is not found
[18:29] <amigamia> augh
[18:30] <amigamia> thanks
[18:30] <ThuGie> could you guys help me getting crond installed crontab seems to be ok though
[18:30] <py_can> amigamia: you can use "scp" from the commandline but i suggest getting a GUI
[18:30] <py_can> to which i dont know the name of
[18:30] <amigamia> so ftp is worthless under ubuntu then
[18:30] <amigamia> augh
[18:31] <py_can> amigamia: in many cases scp/sftp/lftp is better than ftp
[18:31] <amigamia> not if i am at home on a local server it isnt :)
[18:31] <Signux> krababbel: If i remove Windows Partition doesn't any damage to grub?
[18:31] <tieinv> scp  secure copy
[18:32] <py_can> amigamia: using FTP to do root activity is not recommended
[18:32] <py_can> =]
[18:32] <krababbel> Signux: you might need to do an update-grub after deleting the partition
[18:32] <ThuGie> anybody here able to help me ? :)
[18:33] <amigamia> i am at home and the server is directly across from me....py_can
[18:33] <luftikuss> Signux: As far as I know you can simply deinstall Windows using Winddows tools. Sometimes you'll need to deinstall Windows defender first. After having deinstalled Windows you should use any Ubuntu Live CD and invoke the GParted program to add the disk space to your existing Ubuntu partitions.
[18:33] <py_can> amigamia: Get a scp GUI and do your file maintanence trough SSH

[18:35] <krababbel> Signux: update-grub should remove windows from grub menu, that's all
[18:36] <amigamia> so how can i do root functions if i cant login as root via ftp?
[18:37] <fidel> amigamia: are you used to ssh & sudo?
[18:37] <aaron__> I'm trying to use my Netgear wireless adapter and can't get it to work.  I tried using ndisgtk but it is very complicated for a lameman like myself.  Could someone give me a shove in the right direction or a link to a good how to page?
[18:37] <fidel> amigamia: ssh from client to other client as normal user & then use sudo on the target pc to do jobs which might need administrative permissions
[18:37] <fidel> thats 1 usual way
[18:37] <Signux> krababbel:  ok, but it doesn't have any harm to load my ubuntu?
[18:37] <amigamia> i have a ssh session but i want to do a ftp session too
[18:38] <krababbel> Signux: no, that's what update-grub is good for, but I am no expert to tell you 100% what will happen. You won't delete ubuntu surely'
[18:39] <amigamia> i have a ssh session going but i need to ftp cause wget isnt going right so i wanted to ftp up the file but i now have to do a bunch of mv to get move it around when i should be able to jsut ftp it up as root
[18:39] <amigamia> is correct?
[18:39] <Signux> krababbel:  thank you  for your help ;-)
[18:39] <ThuGie> uhmz :)
[18:40] <ThuGie> so can any one of you help me installing crond on ubuntu 11.10 ? :)
[18:40] <ThuGie> i tried apt-get install vixie-cron but package not found.
[18:40] <SnapSnap> Does 12.04 support screen savers?
[18:40] <ThuGie> no clue what package i should use
[18:40] <ThuGie> used google but no real answer.
[18:42] <daninoz> does anyone know an app to convert srt subtitles in idx/sub subtitles ?
[18:42] <ZipZap> hi
[18:42] <llutz> ThuGie: have you tried to get zpanel working with default cron? what errors?
[18:42] <ZipZap> cannot mount my cdrom any more since /dev/scd0 seems gone. what can i do?
[18:42] <ThuGie> well when i first installed zpanel everything worked until i needed a module that needed cron
[18:42] <ThuGie> but it didnt work.
[18:42] <Signux> krababbel:  one more question,after i remove Win,  is there any way to add space to my current file system ( my home ) ?
[18:42] <ThuGie> i followed tutorial to fix it.
[18:42] <ThuGie> but it used crond
[18:42] <FloodBot1> ThuGie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:42] <ThuGie> yet crond isntalled installed
[18:43] <ThuGie> sorry didnt notice i was talking to fast.
[18:43] <ThuGie> isnt installed*
[18:43] <DJones> ThuGie: I just had a quick look and it suggested that ubuntu doesn't use crond, it uses cron instead
[18:43] <ThuGie> i see i did try to replace the crond command with cron.
[18:43] <Slart> SnapSnap: there are several screen savers for the desktop versions of ubuntu
[18:43] <llutz> ThuGie: *buntu comes with cron, so what errors do you get?
[18:43] <fidel> amigamia: get used to the secure solutions you have - using the insecure methods is not a clever way to go
[18:43] <ThuGie> but when i execute it, i get a white page with a php error
[18:43] <amigamia> sftp has been around forever and now it's not even useful anymore...
[18:43] <krababbel> Signux: yes, but it depends on the partition table. use gparted for that.
[18:43] <amigamia> for ubuntu anyway...
[18:43] <ThuGie> wasnt sure if it was because im using cron
[18:43] <amigamia> this sucks
[18:44] <fidel> and moving a file isnt that difficult either on cli - if it is for you - consider using an scp client as someone else suggest already
[18:44] <ThuGie> the error though doesnt point to anything cron related. so thought perhaps i should just install crond
[18:44] <ThuGie> but if i'm right it doesnt have anything to do with it ?
[18:44] <Balthazar> SnapSnap: Yes - try xscreensavers
[18:44] <amigamia> give me a suggestion fidel for scp client
[18:44] <amigamia> i shouldnt even have to go through all those steps should i?
[18:45] <ThuGie> well i guess i should just wait on the forum for a reply to the php error :)
[18:45] <fidel> amigamia: winscp for windows
[18:45] <ThuGie> i ofcourse made a full post with the errors and with what i tried.
[18:45] <llutz> ThuGie: how would we know if you don't give us any usefull details
[18:45] <amigamia> what if i dont use wine?
[18:45] <amigamia> so i have to now install wine?
[18:45] <fidel> nautilus or similar should come with support out of the box if you are on linux
[18:45] <ThuGie> llutz i could give you the tut i followed + the php error + the line
[18:45] <Boreeas> Is there a way to permanently disable a synaptics touchpad?
[18:45] <fidel> amigamia: no but fully mention what you are asking for ;)
[18:45] <aaron__> Will someone help me get my Netgear USB wireless adapter working?

[18:46] <llutz> ThuGie: 1. apache runs as userr/group "www-data" (*buntu, debian)
[18:46] <ZipZap> /dev/scd0 is missing, and i dont have any other scd*
[18:46] <ZipZap> how to make one?
[18:46] <Signux> krababbel:  merC, thank you ;-)
[18:46] <krababbel> Signux: you could pastebin 'sudo fdisk -l', so we can see what you need
[18:46] <amigamia> fidel if this requires net i am screwed....
[18:46] <krababbel> Signux: NP :)
[18:46] <aaron__> thx ubotty
[18:46] <fidel> amigamia: my personal tip is: get used to cli - it might look uncomfortable at beginning - but makes you pretty independable later on
[18:46] <ThuGie> llutz i did change that :)
[18:47] <aaron__> thx ubottu
[18:47] <ThuGie> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1168551/ < if you dont want to visit the forums
[18:47] <fidel> amigamia: requires net?
[18:47] <ThuGie> llutz the pastie should tell you what i tried to get it to work.
[18:47] <llutz> ThuGie: have you seen thishttp://planet.zpanelcp.com/doku.php?id=zpanel_6:articles:installation:debian_installation_script
[18:47] <ThuGie> all command in the end worked but it ends up in a php error also included
[18:47] <llutz> ThuGie: have you seen this http://planet.zpanelcp.com/doku.php?id=zpanel_6:articles:installation:debian_installation_script
[18:47] <amigamia> i dont knwo i will find out Fidel
[18:48] <ThuGie> llutz give me a second.
[18:48] <ThuGie> ah i used a script specialy modded for ubuntu
[18:48] <ThuGie> its about the same script but small changes to make it work fully on unbuntu
[18:48] <ThuGie> except it seems cron wasnt fully fixed :p
[18:49] <ThuGie> forum itself doesnt help me with that except 1 post followed that ended up with a php error.
[18:49] <amigamia> this is amazing. i am right across from the server and i have to go thru all this to do what i could have done with sftp if ubuntu didnt restrict root ftp. augh.
[18:49] <ThuGie> so it might just be the script and cron itself working correctly.
[18:49] <beboj> Hi i have built-in modem 3g Wireless 5620 EVDO-HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini-Card  and it dosent work , any suggestion how to fix it ?
[18:50] <ThuGie> but k the cron i will wait for forum.
[18:50] <ThuGie> so for another module i need it seems atd
[18:51] <ThuGie> command i should execute is /etc/init.d/atd restart
[18:51] <jimi_> What files are used for auth? I setup ldap a while back .... and i no longer want to auth against it locally...
[18:51] <ThuGie> no atd found though
[18:51] <llutz> !info at | ThuGie
[18:51] <ThuGie> so instead atd just use at ?
[18:52] <llutz> ThuGie: /usr/sbin/atd comes with package "at"
[18:52] <ThuGie> at also doesnt exist as service.
[18:52] <llutz> ThuGie: do you even read what i wrote?
[18:53] <ThuGie> so i asume the package 11.10 that the vps hosting provides doesnt include it.
[18:53] <ThuGie> let me reread.
[18:53] <ThuGie> installing package at :p
[18:53] <ThuGie> sorry :D
[18:53] <jimi_> ah, its /etc/nsswitch.conf
[18:53] <ThuGie> working fine now thanks
[18:54] <amigamia> ok i have winscp loaded and i am connected to the server however how do i identify myself as root? cause it's just the same ole thing...
[18:54] <ThuGie> llutz really thanks a lot, for the time you spend to explain basic stuff to me :(
[18:55] <ThuGie> and point me out that i should reread stuff you wrote :p
[18:55] <llutz> amigamia: you don't since the root-account is disabled by default
[18:55] <ZipZap> the answer to my question was, that the device is now sr0, you suckers
[18:55] <amigamia> well how can i transfer to the var/www/xxx/ folder without the permissions?
[18:55] <huslat> i'm kinda new to ubuntu and i'd like to know more about it; i'm looking for a way to download the .iso file and install it alongside windows without the need to re-partition or format any drives; Help!
[18:55] <aaron__> I was reading a manual that said I have to black list "echo -e "blacklist bcm43xx\nblacklist b43\nblacklist b43legacy\nblacklist ssb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist".  How do I undo this?
[18:56] <unless> How do I install portMaps at Ubuntu 12.04?
[18:56] <amigamia> so why did i bother installing winscp?
[18:57] <fidel> !info portmaps
[18:57] <zenos_> PPPOOONNNIIIEEEZZZ... sorry bout that
[18:57] <huslat> hello!?!
[18:57] <amigamia> i see i can enter commands but i can't su or anything to elevate my status
[18:57] <aaron__> Thanks for the help everyone, I'm out of time and will be back later to continue trouble shooting
[18:57] <fidel> amigamia: as mentioned above - get used to ssh and using sudo
[18:57] <fidel> thats the real deal/way to go
[18:58] <paperino> irc://irc.darksin.it/freespirits
[18:58] <krababbel> huslat: install virtualbox in windows and install a vm
[18:58] <amigamia> i know how to use it fidel but this isnt right and you know deep in your heart this isnt right.
[18:58] <huslat> how do i do that krababbel ?
[18:58] <luftikuss> I wonder why Ubuntu 12.04.1 installs the package gnupg by default and not gnupg2.
[18:58] <fidel> amigamia: then ssh in and use something like mc at the target if you think only guis rock. is that an option?
[18:58] <amigamia> so sftp is hsitory so i will inform filezilla that is the case
[18:58] <huslat> i'm a total beginner
[18:59] <brontosaurusrex> what would i use to forward my server sendmail to gmail sender?
[18:59] <beboj> Hi i have built-in modem 3g Wireless 5620 EVDO-HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini-Card  and it dosent work, not visible in lsusb or lspci

[19:08] <W4sp> brontosaurusrex: You can use sendmail for it.
[19:09] <brontosaurusrex> W4sp, somebody told me there is something uber simple out there, but i forget what it was
[19:09] <llutz> brontosaurusrex: msmtp, ssmtp, nullmailer
[19:09] <brontosaurusrex> configuring sendmail will kill me
[19:09] <W4sp> brontosaurusrex: As you decided to use sendmail - you can use sendmail to do it.
[19:10] <W4sp> brontosaurusrex: Well, why did you decide to use sendmail makes me wonder.
[19:10] <brontosaurusrex> W4sp, sendmail will be uninstalled right now ...
[19:11] <W4sp> brontosaurusrex: Why do you ask for a solution with sendmail when you decided to uninstall it? Do you have a support question?
[19:11] <runtt21> test
[19:11] <SnapSnap> when I do "srm -r -v -z <directory name>" on a directory, sometimes the terminal will say "<file name> is not a regular file, rename/unlink only! Removed file <file name>." What would cause this?
[19:11] <brontosaurusrex> W4sp, i used wrong wording actually
[19:11] <W4sp> !test | runtt21
[19:12] <amigamia> can you add root to a user account? seems i have done that before?
[19:12] <runtt21> true and know i kno wyou can too

I had to install it with ctrl+alt+f1 terminal.  any thoughts on how to run boot-repair without a window manager?
[19:13] <W4sp> brontosaurusrex: You can install other MTAs such as postfix, which is very easy to setup. Also, see fetchmail to actually get the email to your box. I assume you do this for a road warrior?
[19:13] <MonkeyDust> tank__  better ask in #bash

[19:32] <vaio> using ubuntu 10.04. vaio sz61vn
[19:32] <Daghdha> Hi. Is there a snmp logger built into ubuntu?
[19:32] <urbann> like in terminal but with help ! and a graphical interface you can see the files you work with...
[19:33] <savio> vaio, just for confirmation did you changed power option
[19:33] <trijntje> nathan_: I would try opening a terminal (ctrl + alt +  t), and then running gnome-language-selector  and set it to english
[19:33] <ThinkT510> !fish | urbann
[19:33] <ThinkT510> !info fish | urbann
[19:33] <savio> vaio, power preference
[19:34] <llutz> urbann: i don't really get what you want, but have you looked at "mc" (midnight-commander)? is this like what you're looking for?
[19:34] <Daghdha> Coz i don't see an app for it
[19:34] <urbann> ThinkT510: yes but then you lose all the benefits of a graphical interface
[19:34] <vaio> nope, not really savio. the first thing i tried when i installed ubuntu10.04, is close the lid and see if it worked... it didn't. all the options at the power pref. are/were as they should be.
[19:35] <savio> vaio, i think you should check that option
[19:35] <vaio> savio, i did check that option
[19:35] <ThinkT510> urbann: i don't fully understand what you want
[19:35] <vaio> it says: when i close laptop lid, option= suspend.
[19:35] <ThinkT510> urbann: is there a certain gui that is confusing you?
[19:36] <Daghdha> hew wants total commander. in linux
[19:36] <vaio> i tried to change and revert them back as they were, thinking it might be a glitch... but they do not work
[19:36] <urbann> I will check out the suggestions I got. wait..
[19:37] <vaio> the options are there, selected, everything looks absolutely fine; i close the laptop lid, and nothing happens.
[19:37] <nathan_> trijntje: I've done that but I can't seem to select english. Screenshot: http://i50.tinypic.com/s2gvbl.png
[19:37] <urbann> ThinkT510: No I just think the way we communicate with computers are strange and I'm looking for alternatives
[19:37] <vaio> i installed this version of ubuntu just for this. because i thought it would work. it just doesn't
[19:37] <trijntje> nathan_: yeah, you have to drag it up, the interface is not so nice
[19:38] <trijntje> drag the entry for English to the top, or try draging the chinese one down
[19:38] <ThinkT510> urbann: text input and mouse movement has been around for years, menus even longer, what are you looking for? touchscreen?
[19:39] <nathan_> trijntje: ah ok, i'm going to log out and back in. Thanks! Let's see how this does
[19:39] <dominic_> anyone know of a grooveshark client with offline support and linking to accounts?
[19:39] <dominic_> clementine is great, but no offline support
[19:41] <thor__> hi
[19:41] <thor__> guys I need some help
[19:42] <thor__> someone could help me?
[19:42] <nathan_> trijntje: that worked thanks so much

[19:45] <thor__> Troy ok, I tryed to install spx emulator whit a deb package, but it dos not runs
[19:45] <thor__> i need to know if is possible install psx on ubuntu 12.04
[19:45] <urbann> ThinkT510: I will not be able to describe what I been thinking about here,,, I will try to set up an demo in javascript
[19:45] <WeThePeople> thor__, is this it.. http://www.zophar.net/linux/psx/pcsx.html
[19:45] <N0is3> hello
[19:45] <ThinkT510> urbann: cool
[19:46] <urbann> Midnight Commander is something in the direction I am thinking, thanks
[19:46] <N0is3> i have a question
[19:46] <thor__> WeThePeople, thanks
[19:46] <WeThePeople> nois3, wazup
[19:46] <ThinkT510> urbann: a double-paned file manager?
[19:47] <N0is3> how to add program to autostart script?
[19:47] <N0is3> i mean where this script is
[19:47] <Troy^> ok thor__ did you download the Debian .rpm of the psx emulator
[19:47] <phax> Hi I am on Ubunto 10.0.4, default run level 2, but the gdm service does not start up, each time I login to the console session and use "service gdm start". How do I go about troubleshooting this ? I have an error in the boot.log: "start: Unknown job: S20gdm"
[19:48] <thor__> yes troy
[19:48] <phax> But there is a softlink under /etc/rc2.d/ for that
[19:48] <ThinkT510> !rpm | Troy^
[19:48] <WeThePeople> nois3, like a startup program?
[19:48] <N0is3> yes
[19:48] <urbann> ThinkT510: I want a command line tool with some intelligent autocomplete a graphical interface that show what you are doing and giving tips : )
[19:48] <WeThePeople> nois3, what distro you on
[19:48] <N0is3> 10.0.3
[19:48] <Troy^> ThinkT510: why did you send that to me lol
[19:48] <urbann> ThinkT510:  I will try to set up basic demo the coming days
[19:49] <urbann> Just looking for similar existing projects
[19:49] <ThinkT510> Troy^: you said a debian .rpm, rpms are not for debian
[19:50] <Jef91> So I am compiling some extra python 2.7 modules on Ubuntu 12.04 - by default they are installing themselves to /usr/share/pyshared - but they are not being found there. They are only working from /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages any ideas why that might be?
[19:50] <Troy^> ThinkT510: right but they are built towards a certain distro at times.
[19:50] <WeThePeople> nois3, i dont know where the script is but you can goto "system, preferences, startup applications"
[19:50] <N0is3> well, i didn't mean that
[19:50] <N0is3> something like daemons
[19:51] <WeThePeople> nois3, what program>?
[19:51] <WeThePeople> you could right click and select "create launcher"
[19:52] <N0is3> my own program for connecting to the http server letting know system is on
[19:52] <N0is3> i heard something like /etc/init.d
[19:52] <N0is3> but this doesn't appear to work
[19:52] <WeThePeople> nois3, idl about that stuff
[19:52] <WeThePeople> idk
[19:52] <bttf> when i have just installed a package with aptitude, how can i find out where it has installed to?
[19:53] <N0is3> well, so thanks for trying to help anyway
[19:53] <bttf> i just dl'ed a documentation package and i have no idea where it is
[19:53] <gordonjcp> bttf: dpkg -L <name of package>
[19:53] <el_seano> bttf: dpkg -L $PACKAGE
[19:53] <gordonjcp> bttf: most likely /usr/share/doc/<whatever>
[19:53] <bttf> cool thanks
[19:53] <N0is3> ubuntu community is much more friendly than other distros communities :)
[19:53] <el_seano> heh, gordonjcp beating me to the punch.
[19:53] <WeThePeople> yes we are
[19:53] <gordonjcp> el_seano: that's because I'd just done it ten seconds before ;-)
[19:53] <gordonjcp> el_seano: it's awfy handy
[19:53] <el_seano> indeed
[19:54] <gordonjcp> dpkg -L <thing> is great for those "What the...?" moments when you can't quite work out why something doesn't appear to be showing up
[19:54] <SuperMiguel> any of you guys using the Sony media dock with linux??? (http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&partNumber=VGPPRZ20A/B)

[19:57] <vaio> need some help with lid actions on ubuntu 10.04... laptop lid-close/open: suspend/hibernate doesn't work. can anyone help? thanks
[19:57] <ThinkT510> vaio: how much ram do you have?
[19:57] <thor__> ubottu en donde lo debo escribir?
[19:57] <vaio> 2gb
[19:57] <ThinkT510> vaio: and how much swap do you have?
[19:58] <vaio> 3GB
[19:58] <ThinkT510> vaio: ok, thought i'd try the simplest problem
[19:58] <vaio> savio, i should probably tell you now that if i press the "suspend" button at user menu, it works. so does hibernation
[19:59] <vaio> thinkt510... suspend and hibernate work when i press the button at user menu
[19:59] <vaio> lid actions are not recognized though
[20:00] <vaio> nothing happens when i close the lid... the screen remains on, indicator lights - all on... same as if lid were open
[20:00] <ThinkT510> vaio: and you have it set to suspend/hibernate in the power settings when you close the lid?
[20:00] <vaio> i have done that thinkt510
[20:00] <vaio> it's not happening though... :(
[20:00] <ThinkT510> vaio: well then i can't help you
[20:01] <vaio> thanks anyway...
[20:01] <vaio> by the way, i do not think that swap or ram size have anything to do with suspension
[20:01] <vaio> especially swap
[20:02] <xman> hola
[20:03] <ThinkT510> vaio: i think swap is for hibernation, suspension is to ram
[20:03] <vaio> yes thinkt510
[20:05] <vaio> it's giving me such a headache... it's now more than a week i'm trying to find a fix or workaround to this problem... growing desperate
[20:06] <ThinkT510> vaio: you're not using any special boot parameters are you?
[20:07] <`DjM4X> bleh, i'm pissed.. i did a scan for additional drivers with jockey and it didn't detect any proprietary driver to install with my gtx 670m and there's one in nvidia's site (304.37). ok, tried to install with with x-swat ppa and guess what, now i'm stuck with 640x480. anyone here sucessfully installed this fkn driver?
[20:07] <vaio> nope. all normal. i don't see how boot parameters could affect recognition of a lit button
[20:07] <vaio> lid*
[20:08] <ThinkT510> vaio: acpi
[20:08] <vaio> installed thinkt510
[20:08] <vaio> it's already there
[20:09] <ThinkT510> vaio: sorry, i meant acpi options can be set at boot, hence my question about boot parameters
[20:09] <BluesKaj> 'DjM4X , that's an experimental driver afaik , and not stable , you're probly better off just using the nouveau driver , or the 302 series
[20:10] <ThinkT510> vaio: if acpi was off then the lid action wouldn't be regestered/recognised
[20:10] <vaio> i see... but i haven't done anything fancy. just a fresh install.
[20:11] <`DjM4X> BluesKaj i had to go back to my desktop which runs windows just to try to find a solution for this, i'm going to be running trine 2 on the ubuntu laptop and as far as i know nouveau won't be good for that
[20:11] <ThinkT510> vaio: whats the output of: lsmod
[20:12] <`DjM4X> is there any other nvidia driver compatible with the gtx 670m that won't get me stuck like the 304.37?
[20:12] <BluesKaj> 'DjM4x , I think the 302.17 driver should work if you're on 12.04 ubuntu
[20:13] <`DjM4X> yes i am
[20:13] <gordonjcp> I like my nvidia card
[20:13] <psilo23> i like spotify
[20:13] <gordonjcp> annoying that flash gives crazy colours in amd64
[20:13] <psilo23> i dislike despotify for not working properly on 64bit ubuntu though
[20:13] <gordonjcp> one day, youtube will be *all* html5 and flash will go away
[20:14] <`DjM4X> i'm still using the 304.37 and stuck at 640x480, should i run sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia-current nvidia-settings and then try the 302.17 from the nvidia's site or is it somewhere else BluesKaj ?
[20:14] <ThinkT510> gordonjcp: that couldn't happen fast enough
[20:14] <gordonjcp> ThinkT510: when it works it works well
[20:14] <`DjM4X> by the way, i'm on a 64bit system BluesKaj
[20:14] <vaio> pastebinit doesn't work on my laptop
[20:15] <`DjM4X> and 302.17 is for 32bit systems
[20:15] <doop> are there of users who have any interest in  wii and mame?
[20:15] <psilo23> any of you guys got despotify to work on 64bit ubuntu 12.04 ?
[20:15] <ThinkT510> vaio: copy and paste it to a paste site
[20:15] <BluesKaj> 'DjM4X. it should be default in additional/restricted drivers in jockey
[20:15] <vaio> where, though?
[20:15] <vaio> :lol:
[20:15] <ThinkT510> vaio: pastebin.com
[20:15] <`DjM4X> BluesKaj unfortunatelly when i scanned with jockey it found nothing
[20:16] <`DjM4X> weirdest thing ever
[20:16] <vaio> (and don't tell me to go back to school... please_ :lol:)
[20:16] <`DjM4X> that's why i had to try it myself, manually..
[20:16] <WeThePeople> vaio, or paste.ubuntu.com is way eaiser
[20:16] <BluesKaj> 'DjM4X , odd :p
[20:16] <`DjM4X> saddest part is that i got this laptop planning to run ubuntu from the beggin to play trine 2, now i can't get the graphics to work
[20:17] <`DjM4X> g8
[20:17] <BluesKaj> and it works on 64 bit systems , I used it on 12,10 for a while
[20:17] <WeThePeople> does purge override remove
[20:17] <vaio> thanks wethepeople
[20:17] <`DjM4X> BluesKaj you used it from the official site?
[20:17] <vaio> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1168703/
[20:18] <BluesKaj> 'DjM4X , or even the 295 driver should work on 12.04
[20:18] <BluesKaj> 'DjM4X , nope in jockey
[20:19] <`DjM4X> BluesKaj i'm wondering why jockey isnt detecting anything
[20:19] <`DjM4X> it's a gtx 670m ..
[20:19] <`DjM4X> it should detect something, this is weird
[20:20] <BluesKaj> 'DjM4X , have you updated and upgraded lately ?
[20:20] <carnau> I just installed ubuntu and grub can't load my os, it says "error: no such partition". If I do a "ls" on the grub-console, it returns the same. What can I do? I have 2 hdd with a simple LVM for the home directory.
[20:20] <wN> carnau: you probably have incorrect information ni the grub configuration.
[20:21] <ThinkT510> vaio: hmm, i can't see any reference to acpi in there
[20:21] <`DjM4X> BluesKaj i've installed the system today, at the time of setup i had no internet so i unchecked the 'install updates' but now i am home and i ran the update software
[20:21] <`DjM4X> it says there's nothing to update
[20:21] <`DjM4X> nothing to update, nothing in jockey
[20:21] <`DjM4X> lol..
[20:22] <BluesKaj> carnau , do you know which drive grub is installed on , go to that install and sudo update-grub
[20:22] <vaio> is it supposed to show there thinkt510?
[20:23] <ThinkT510> vaio: i guess it depends on your model, i use thinkpads so i have thinkpad_acpi listed in lsmod

[20:38] <lidar> heheh thts funny!
[20:38] <Jordan_U> gordonjcp: On Ubuntu the grub menu is hidden when Ubuntu is the only OS, you have to hold shift to see it.
[20:38] <gordonjcp> Jordan_U: not here it's not
[20:38] <gordonjcp> it always shows up
[20:38] <zykotick9> lidar: you might have just gotten these instruction in PM, but in case not - you can use "/msg ubottu foo" to search for things privately

[20:40] <drag0nius2> yeah, but when i start ddclient it says its invalid
[20:40] <gordonjcp> drag0nius2: the dpkg config tool is completely useless

[20:41] <Signux> Jordan_U: thats right. I agree with you.
[20:41] <gordonjcp> Jordan_U: bigger things to worry about that that, tbh
[20:41] <gordonjcp> once every six months or so, I see a GRUB screen
[20:41] <gordonjcp> big wow
[20:42] <Dr_Willis> exit
[20:42] <viewer> my laptop is amazingly amazingly broken.  i broke grub and trying to fix it in boot-repair on a live disk it tells me to chroot and put some commands in to purge grub-common
[20:42] <viewer> but anything I do with apt-get gives me debconf: Perl may be unconfigured (warnings.pm did not return a true value at /usr/share/perl/5.14/carp.pm line 4
[20:43]  * zykotick9 misses the old grub2 wiki page, with the chroot instructions :(..
[20:43] <gordonjcp> grub2 is pretty horrible
[20:43] <viewer> and some comppilation faileds, all related to perl, reading database unrecoverable fatal error file list for package shotwell is mising final newline
[20:43] <gordonjcp> it's worse in just about every significant way than grub
[20:43] <lidar> oh the days of lilo manually editing it for kernels ect.
[20:44] <gordonjcp> lidar: there's got to be a better way of doing it
[20:45] <gordonjcp> we need to get rid of this legacy BIOS rubbish and move to EFI or UEFI
[20:45] <viewer> should I just give up and format ubuntu?
[20:45] <ThinkT510> !ot | gordonjcp
[20:46] <gordonjcp> viewer: it depends how much time you want to spend unborking it
[20:46] <Topol> Hello, Im having a problem configuring metasploit to my database
[20:46] <Topol> :I
[20:46] <gordonjcp> viewer: nuke and pave is the quick and easy route, but you will need to set up all your local state again
[20:46] <viewer> gordonjcp, ive been spending the time, but if I can't purge grub now because of a perl error (wtf) i dont know where else to go with it
[20:47] <gordonjcp> viewer: with a bit of luck you've formatted your drive with /home on a separate partition - I've no idea why that's not the default - so it won't be too much hassle ;-)
[20:47] <viewer> of course this is the one time that I didnt put /home/ on a seperate partition
[20:47] <viewer> but I really didnt have any files on ubuntu anyway
[20:47] <viewer> just all my packages manually added
[20:48] <viewer> and some prettying
[20:48] <viewer> i guess ill just do it and get it overwith
[20:48] <lidar> viewer, dont give up! its fixable
[20:49] <viewer> lidar, any suggestions?
[20:49] <viewer> so now I'm shaving yaks, trying to fix perl, to be able to use apt-get, to be able to use, boot-repair
[20:50] <viewer> and i cant uninstall perl, because of... a perl error!
[20:50] <lidar> viewer, chroot and just try using grub-install i think it is
[20:50] <PRabyte> viewer: there is a perl script that removes everything perl, dont recall the name, but perlmonks.org is a good place to start, the monestary has monks on stand by for such inquires,,, justa heads up
[20:50] <zykotick9> 4+~
[20:51] <PRabyte> viewer: just click the chat box thingy, read the instructions, and be patient, as they are monks and are very patient, but will respond
[20:52] <lidar> viewer, http://zeldor.biz/2010/12/install-grub-from-chroot/ first hit from google for chroot fix grub
[20:52] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> hi guys, I'm afraid I'll need lots of help, but for starters, I can't access ubuntu.com, other websites work fine. Any ideas? On the newest ubuntu and using the included firefox.
[20:54] <tech1> i can access ubuntu.com
[20:54] <dragonfly> Can anybody help me ? Everything was fine until I realized that the cooling fan in my laptop was suddenly not working at all
[20:54] <tech1> did you try clearing your cookies/cache?
[20:54] <lidar> dragonfly, what kind of laptop is it ?
[20:55] <lidar> Fuzzy_Wuzzy, the website works fine for me \
[20:55] <dragonfly> It its toshiba satellite
[20:55] <viewer> ive just never seen a computer screwed up so bad in so many seeminly unrelated ways out of nowhere, did I mention I cant seem to execute any binary files? /sbin/reboot: cannot execute binary file
[20:55] <lidar> dragonfly, toss that plus model number plus linux/ubuntu in google
[20:55] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> lidar: I know, and works fine for my friends too, justnot for me :S
[20:56] <dragonfly> Lidar, I have been googling from a couple of days now. Till now there is no working solution for me
[20:57] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> filesystem.manifest? what's that?
[20:57] <drag0nius2> anyone know freedns patch for ddclient?
[20:57] <lidar> viewer, are you using a 32bit livecd and the install is 64bit or osemthing like that />
[20:57] <viewer> lidar, no, thats right off the ubuntu partition that was running fine yesterday
[20:58] <viewer> oh wel
[20:58] <viewer> this isn't worth the trouble
[20:58] <viewer> i didnt have any data on it yet
[20:58] <viewer> its just frustrating how IMPOSSIBLY bad its broken lol
[20:59] <lidar> only system i ever broke that bad gentoo .. like every other week lol!
[20:59] <thunkee> Fuzzy_Wuzzy: try a: host www.ubuntu.com in a terminal windows
[20:59] <viewer> heh
[21:00] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> thunkee: spits back "ubuntu.com has address <IP_ADDRESS>"
[21:00] <dragonfly> lidar, here is what exactly happen. I installed vmware player and on next reboot boot stuck at "starting apparmor profile" then I disabled a couple apparmor modules and it booted perfectly but fab was not running this time
[21:01] <thunkee> Fuzzy_Wuzzy: looks ok :)
[21:01] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> thunkee: still can't access it via firefox though :S
[21:02] <lidar> Fuzzy_Wuzzy, try a diffrent browser ?
[21:03] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> lidar: hmph, why didn't I think of that >.<
[21:03] <lidar> dragonfly, renable those profiles ?
[21:03] <ejv_> im downloading the new LTS imags, and on several computers I keep getting different md5sums, what's going on? :\
[21:03] <lidar> Fuzzy_Wuzzy, im hooked on opera right the minute
[21:04] <lidar> ejv_, download corrupted ?
[21:04] <ejv_> lidar: on several computers?
[21:05] <lidar> comparing to them selves or the pub;lished md5sum ?
[21:05] <dragonfly> lidar, that was the first thing I tried. But enabling them just didn't worked out. I am having a real hard time working at 92 degrees :(
[21:05] <ejv> seems pretty silly they'd all be different, the published md5sum
[21:05] <xperiamaniac> need help installling ubuntu 11.04 using wubi and iso
[21:05] <xperiamaniac> gettin a permission denied error
[21:05] <lidar> dragonfly, syslog have an error about it ?
[21:06] <dragonfly> No
[21:06] <k1l> xperiamaniac: wubi :/ and why 11.04? support is running out soon
[21:06] <dragonfly> There is nothing relevant
[21:06] <xperiamaniac> just wana see how it is
[21:06] <xperiamaniac> compared to 12
[21:06] <xperiamaniac> any help wud be appriciated :)
[21:06] <gordonjcp> xperiamaniac: buggy, slow
[21:07] <xperiamaniac> ???
[21:07] <k1l> xperiamaniac: then try the live-cd/-stick. but i prefer  real installation befor wubi.
[21:07] <xperiamaniac> i felt 12 is buggy and sow
[21:07] <lidar> xperiamaniac, stick with the new you will be happier person!
[21:07] <ejv> linux-headers-3.2.0-29_3.2.0-29.46_all.deb - "file failed md5 checksm verification"
[21:07] <xperiamaniac> 10 was awsome
[21:07] <gordonjcp> xperiamaniac: unity was a bit underdeveloped back then
[21:07] <ejv> ...
[21:07] <P3pp3R> !list
[21:08] <gordonjcp> 12 is somewhat memory-hungry but it performs pretty well in 1G
[21:08] <xperiamaniac> yes i do agree but just wanna see how it works with a 512 mb ram
[21:08] <dragonfly> lidar:  I uninstalled the vmware but even that didnt do anything helpful
[21:08] <xperiamaniac> :)
[21:08] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> can't access ubuntu.com in midori either
[21:08] <gordonjcp> it helps to either disable 3D acceleration or use a decent card with hardware acceleration - ditching the crappy onboard Intel and going for NVidia made a big difference
[21:09] <gordonjcp> Fuzzy_Wuzzy: ... but you can look up the ip address?
[21:09] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> yes
[21:09] <lidar> Fuzzy_Wuzzy, try just http://ip-address
[21:09] <thunkee> Fuzzy_Wuzzy: next give traceroute www.ubuntu.com a try
[21:10] <flyer3_> do people talk in tis channel
[21:10] <xperiamaniac> ny help guys?
[21:11] <opieng> hi all, please help! Need a quick answer, rebooting from windows to install Ubuntu 12.04 64bit from CD "Error "Prefix" not fixed"... then goes straight to the GNU GRUB Version 1.99-21ubuntu3.1 screen. I checked the disc for errors there are no errors, does anyone know if this error message has anything to do with Ubuntu?
[21:11] <Guest69887> How to open: ~/.xchat2/ ?
[21:11] <gordonjcp> xperiamaniac: 512MB, 11.04?
[21:11] <xperiamaniac> yup
[21:11] <xperiamaniac> you @ gordonjcp
[21:11] <k1l> !ot > flyer3_
[21:11] <xperiamaniac> yup*
[21:11] <Guest69887> How can I open this folder, ~/.xchat2/ ?
[21:11] <gordonjcp> xperiamaniac: it will be a painful and horrifying experience that will put you off computers for life
[21:12] <thunkee> Guest62958: make hidden files visible in your filemanager
[21:12] <xperiamaniac> how abt 10?
[21:12] <k1l> Guest69887: just open your home directory and press ctrl+h
[21:12] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> traceroute www.ubuntu.com gives a bunch of adresses, then hops 16-30 are just * * *, and that's it :/
[21:13] <Guest69887> k1l i cant see the folder .xchat2
[21:13] <opieng> lidar, you might know the answer to my question, please see above, thanks
[21:13] <gordonjcp> Fuzzy_Wuzzy: sounds like your connection is hosed
[21:13] <k1l> Guest69887: because its hidden. press ctrl+h
[21:13] <thunkee> Fuzzy_Wuzzy: looks like your provider has a problem with www.ubuntu.com
[21:13] <xperiamaniac> :(
[21:13] <Guest69887> k1l i did that.
[21:13] <k1l> Guest69887: if its not there you might not have xchat :)
[21:14] <Guest69887> k1l i am using xchat right now lol
[21:14] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> I'll boot into windows and try from there.
[21:14] <k1l> Guest69887: no. you use chatzilla :/
[21:14] <lidar> opieng, never saw that error does it give the option install boot live system ect from grub ?
[21:14] <Guest69887> On other client k1l
[21:15] <Guest69887> ah, found it k1l
[21:15] <eugene__> Hello. I am having a very strange situation with utf-9 encoding. What I am finally doing is this: Open a document in gedit, copy/paste into LibreWriter and save "encoded text" format. Repeat with another file. When I do diff 2 new files, I am getting all text different!
[21:15] <k1l> :/
[21:15] <eugene__> utf-8*
[21:15] <opieng> lidar, Yes, I can (a) try Ubuntu (b) Install Ubuntu (c) check for disc errors
[21:15] <opieng> I am at that screen now
[21:16] <eugene__> When I do diff into original files they are also shown all different but spaces! Though the text is almost identical
[21:16] <xperiamaniac> can anyone help me wid ubuntu 10 install within windows
[21:16] <lidar> opieng, pick try ubuntu does it work ?
[21:17] <lidar> xperiamaniac, just use virtualbox ?
[21:17] <opieng> lidar, trying that now..
[21:17] <xperiamaniac> virtual box?
[21:17] <xperiamaniac> i have virtual pc installed
[21:17] <gordonjcp> opieng: if you do "try ubuntu" you can still install once you get it up and running
[21:17] <xperiamaniac> but dat takes a lotta memory
[21:18] <lidar> xperiamaniac, yeah .. but easy to try it out
[21:18] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> okay, so one more thing before I reboot - how do I close pidgin, and other programs that might act in such a sneaky way for that matter? I mean in a nice way, without having to use the console to find what's running and killing it through there.
[21:18] <xperiamaniac> yes but it dst work on virtual pc
[21:18] <dragonfly> lidar any help on my wireless card is treated as ethernet?
[21:19] <brian_> hey yLL
[21:19] <lolek> hello all
[21:19] <WeThePeople> fuzzy_wuzzy, system monitor
[21:19] <drag0nius2> whats some CLI network monitor?
[21:19] <lolek> i did little google research but cun't find answer, how can i import network settings which i exported from ubuntu 10.04 into 11.04 ?
[21:20] <UL1> Quick question about Totem 2.30.2 not playing DVD. Error is "Could not read from Resource".  I tried loading the extended codecs, rebooting, with no luck.

[21:20] <WeThePeople> drag0nius2, wireshark
[21:20] <BarkingFish> evening guys, can someone remind me of where the documentation for grub2 is please? I have a guy  in #kubuntu experiencing video issues and I want to switch him to a text only boot :)
[21:20] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> WeThePeople: cool, thanks. What about pidgin/empathy specifically? Killing it via system monitor is still a bit ugly for my taste ^^
[21:21] <BarkingFish> he is getting black and white alternating lines when he picks to boot kubuntu, rather than a video output
[21:21] <drag0nius2> but its in command line?
[21:21] <brontosaurusrex> UL1, vlc plays?
[21:21] <thunkee> BarkingFish: quick he could press ctrl+alt+F1
[21:21] <lidar> anonymous_, dcc chat ?
[21:21] <xperiamaniac> :(
[21:21] <WeThePeople> fuzzy_wuzzy, its either a left or right click over the icon in the panel and close it from there
[21:22] <WeThePeople> usually right
[21:22] <lidar> dragonfly, take output from lspci and throw it in google
[21:22] <BarkingFish> thunkee, i want to get him to edit his config, I know i switched to text only by disabling plymouth and setting a verbose boot, also took out the splash option
[21:22] <lidar> dragonfly, just the line about your wifi
[21:23] <opieng> xperiamaniac, I recommend a virtual machine if you have not used Ubuntu before and wanted to try it through windows.. as a new linux and Ubuntu new user it helped me a lot, just sharing my experience.
[21:23] <lolek> i did little google research but cun't find answer, how can i import network settings which i exported from ubuntu 10.04 into 11.04, cause there is no import option in network settings in ubuntu 11.04 ...;/
[21:23] <WeThePeople> drag0nius2, what specifically are yo looking for ina network monitor
[21:23] <UL1> Brontosaurusrex I'm loading it now. It wasn't installed.
[21:23] <drag0nius2> need to see upload/download on eth0
[21:24] <Fuzzy_Wuzzy> tried right-clicking on the pidgin icon in the sidebar thingy and selecting quit, but it keeps running in the background :(
[21:24] <xperiamaniac> thanks opieng :)
[21:24] <dragonfly> lidar, already tried that. Cant find anything helpful
[21:24] <xperiamaniac> but unable to install it on virtual machine
[21:24] <xperiamaniac> :(
[21:24] <drag0nius2> something like netlimiter
[21:24] <xperiamaniac> getting permission denied error :(
[21:24] <drag0nius2> show what program uses how much bandwidth
[21:24] <lidar> dragonfly, show me how lspci calls it
[21:25] <opieng> xperiamaniac, I found VMWare Player to be really good or VirtualBox, both are really good.. for me they were anyways
[21:25] <xperiamaniac> vmware says that insuf memory to isnatl
[21:25] <xperiamaniac> install*
[21:25] <dragonfly> Hang on, I am on another machine right now, in another room.
[21:25] <xperiamaniac> virtual box i havent tried
[21:26] <SolarisBoy> virtualbox is pretty cool
[21:26] <xperiamaniac> righet now i have removed all traces of ubuntu from reistry
[21:26] <xperiamaniac> now gona try insatlling again
[21:26] <lidar> xperiamaniac, why not just do a dual boot ?
[21:27] <opieng> lidar, Do you think that error message has anything to do with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1757213
[21:27] <UL1> Brontosaurusrex: VLC starts to load it and then drops out.
[21:27] <lolek> lidar: better don't offer this option to a guy who never tried linux... trust me
[21:27] <xperiamaniac> install from windows or booot from cd?
[21:27] <UL1> Brontosaurusrex: No error message with VLC either.
[21:27] <xperiamaniac> i am using the iso image
[21:27] <WeThePeople> drag0nius2, pyshaper
[21:27] <opieng> lidar, ubuntu seems to work ok from the "Try Ubuntu option"...
[21:28] <lidar> opieng, if it boots and runs fine then dont worry about it
[21:28] <WeThePeople> drag0nius2, http://freecode.com/projects/pyshaper
[21:28] <brontosaurusrex> UL1, perhaps a borken media then
[21:28] <UL1> Brontosaurusrex: The disk is a brand new store bought dvd, not a copy. (Plays in DVD player without errors.)
[21:29] <aguitel> anyway to install amsn in 12.04 ?
[21:29] <willwork4foo> I just discovered the weirdest fix ever. But it works. I was wondering why my VirtualBox VMs were freezing up all the time, and also why my sound output wasn't working when I put my laptop (Lenovo T420) into it's dock...
[21:29] <UL1> I'll blast the dvd with air and try another disk.
[21:29] <willwork4foo> The fix for BOTH problems in one go: append "options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[21:29] <SolarisBoy> UL1: have you tried this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs ?
[21:29] <opieng> LiDar, Is it safe to install Ubuntu now from "Install Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS" from the Ubuntu desktop as gordonjcp suggested or would it be better to reboot and choose the option to install Ubuntu from the Grub menu?
[21:30] <brontosaurusrex> UL1, some new cactus protection stuff maybe, try some other dvd yes
[21:30] <UL1> SolarisBoy: Yes
[21:30] <SolarisBoy> k
[21:30] <UL1> ok, brb. thx brontosaurusrex and SolarisBoy. :)
[21:30] <WeThePeople> drag0nius2, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=99321
[21:30] <LiDar> opieng, yeah sure go ahead and install same result
[21:31] <SolarisBoy> your welcome UL1
[21:31] <opieng> LiDar, thanks! I hope this all goes well. Really looking forward to using Ubuntu more :)

[21:33] <MonkeyDust> MrBoss  sudo apt-get install wine
[21:33] <opieng> lidar, just one last check... it is ok to install ubuntu on my HDD when Windows is already installed on my SSD?
[21:34] <LiDar> opieng, sure ... just make sure you dont format the wrong drive
[21:35] <LiDar> opieng, not that i have ever done that but ... it sure makes for a bit of panic realizing your porn collection is gone
[21:35] <lolek> hmmm ok, maybe a little different question: does someone knows where is the import network setting button in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[21:35] <opieng> I have partioned my HDD for installing Ubuntu.. 80GB for Ubuntu and 16GB for Swap (I have16GB RAM)
[21:36] <LiDar> opieng, your good then
[21:36] <lolek> sorrry
[21:36] <lolek> 11.10
[21:36] <opieng> LiDar, Thanks
[21:36] <LiDar> lolek, what kind of network settings are you importing ?
[21:36] <MonkeyDust> opieng  divide the 80GB further, create separate / and /home partitions
[21:37] <MonkeyDust> opieng  10GB for / and 70GB for /home -- or so
[21:37] <MrBoss> MonkeyDust, don't install,
[21:37] <krababbel> Why would xdm not start after boot? I have to 'sudo /etc/init.d/xdm start' manually.
[21:37] <opieng> MonkeyDust, any reason why, sorry I am new to ubuntu
[21:37] <lolek> LiDar:  did exported network setting from ubuntu 10.04 from my lappie, and want to import it to the second lappie with ubu 11.10 but i can't find import option in 11.10 which was visible next to export button in network manager configuration dialog in ubuntu 10.04
[21:37] <nannes> Hello, I have a non-support question

[21:39] <Help_Pidgin> Hello all
[21:39] <Help_Pidgin> I am having great difficulties with pidgin and need help
[21:40] <Help_Pidgin> I am running the 2.10 variant which as I understand is bugulant.
[21:40] <Help_Pidgin> as such I wish to install 2.7 or 2.9 or whatever is latest but Ubuntu just will not do it!
[21:40] <lolek> LiDar: it's vpn and trust me i don't want to do it again from scratch ... i did it well a year ago i don't remember all the stuff
[21:40] <Help_Pidgin> I tried to update the repositories (I think)
[21:40] <Help_Pidgin> but it has not worked
[21:40] <Help_Pidgin> can anyone please help me?
[21:40] <LiDar> Help_Pidgin, what version of ubuntu ?
[21:41] <Help_Pidgin> 12.04
[21:41] <MonkeyDust> !info pidgin
[21:41] <Help_Pidgin> 2.10 has bugs that are fixed in like 2.7 or 2.9 or that
[21:41] <MonkeyDust> Help_Pidgin  you can always report bugs in launchpad
[21:42] <Help_Pidgin> anyone familiarized with installing 2.7 or 2.9.x on 12.04?
[21:42] <LiDar> Help_Pidgin, 2.10 is newer than 2.7 so the bugs would be fixed in the 2.10 version
[21:42] <Help_Pidgin> excuse me, the bugs are fixed
[21:42] <lolek> LiDar: any ideas where that option "went" ?
[21:42] <Help_Pidgin> oh
[21:42] <LiDar> lolek, no idea
[21:42] <opieng> MonkeyDust, would it be better to do that parition when I am in Ubuntu or do it now in Windows?
[21:42] <Help_Pidgin> ok
[21:42] <lolek> :/
[21:42] <krababbel> Why would xdm not start after boot? I have to 'sudo /etc/init.d/xdm start' manually. Is there a log to see what happened?
[21:42] <MonkeyDust> opieng  wubi?
[21:42] <opieng> no dual boot
[21:42] <LiDar> lolek, is the backup file for the setting a xml file you can just open with a text editror ?
[21:42] <MonkeyDust> opieng  do it with the live cd or usb
[21:42] <lolek> LiDar: ok .. so maybe you know where network manager store it's network settings ?
[21:43] <lolek> LiDar: it's plain/text file.. probably they just did copy of the settings file.. but i don't know the location of network manager settings :)
[21:43] <LiDar> lolek, not specifically but start looking in /etc
[21:43] <opieng> MonkeyDust, during the Ubuntu installation?
[21:43] <lolek> LiDar: hmm isn't network manager user dependent ?
[21:43] <LiDar> opieng, the ubuntu installer will do it fine
[21:43] <MonkeyDust> opieng  are you now in the live session?
[21:43] <W4sp> krababbel: Does a different DM start or do you have console login after boot?
[21:44] <krababbel> W4sp: I have a console login.
[21:44] <opieng> MonkeyDust, Yes
[21:44] <opieng> Ok thanks.
[21:44] <LiDar> lolek, both i beleive there are system wide and user .. if user it would be ~/.network or soemthing
[21:45] <MonkeyDust> opieng  ok, good, then type sudo fdisk -l|pastebinit and paste the url here in the channel
[21:45] <lolek> LiDar: k
[21:45] <W4sp> krababbel: Does xdm come up when you start it manually?
[21:45] <krababbel> W4sp: after login, I can start xdm manually, and everything is OK, but I don't understand why xdm won't start by itself. I reinstalled it too laready
[21:45] <SuperMiguel> does ubuntu support usb 3.0?
[21:45] <krababbel> W4sp: yes, i can start it via init.d
[21:45] <krababbel> SuperMiguel: works for me
[21:46] <SuperMiguel> krababbel: how do i know if it is working??
[21:46] <lwizardl> hello
[21:46] <krababbel> SuperMiguel: I have an external HDD case, usb3
[21:46] <W4sp> krababbel: The standard usggestion would be dpkg_reconfigure xdm and then select xdm from the menu. I suppose you done that already.
[21:46] <utu-san> SuperMiguel: plugin a usb 3.0 dev
[21:46] <lwizardl> if i have a bunch of github.com links how do i clone them to my local hdd ?
[21:47] <LiDar> SuperMiguel, unplug the device and plug it back in .. then look at output from dmesg
[21:47] <LiDar> SuperMiguel, it will say usb2.0 device usb3.0 ect.
[21:47] <LiDar> krababbel, did you change your runlevel ?
[21:48] <sin_tax> can anyone tell me why whenever I attempt to login to my server as a certain user via SSH, the connection is immediately closed?
[21:48] <krababbel> W4sp: the dpkg thing, no, I never found easy documentation on that. I just tried reconfigure xdm, it said the links already existed.
[21:48] <LiDar> sin_tax, root is disabled default
[21:48] <MonkeyDust> !root > sin_tax
[21:48] <krababbel> LiDar: no, this is new install too, I did install a console only type, not the standard desktop
[21:49] <sin_tax> LiDar, I am trying to log in as a user I created; I can log into SSH as my 'main' account as well as via another account I created
[21:49] <LiDar> krababbel, do you want the desktop ? can just apt-get instal ubuntu-desktop i think is the metapackage
[21:49] <krababbel> LiDar: I had done a testinstall in virtualbox just before that, and it worked. AFter setup I installed xorg, xdm and i3 window manager.
[21:49] <ekw> Anybody else having trouble getting to ubuntu.com or just me?
[21:49] <W4sp> krababbel: I see. Try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xdm' and select xdm. One more thing... There's a bug in this. If possible select lightdm first to see if your X comes up at all.
[21:49] <krababbel> LiDar: I don't want that
[21:50] <krababbel> W4sp: that command says: System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/xdm already exist.
[21:50] <SuperMiguel> LiDar: [13348.624476] sd 12:0:0:0: [sdc]<PHONE_NUMBER> 512-byte logical blocks: (1.50 TB/1.36 TiB)
[21:50] <SuperMiguel> [13348.624565] ses 12:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 13
[21:51] <LiDar> SuperMiguel, above or below that it should mention usb 2.0
[21:51] <krababbel> W4sp: ok, I will try lightdm too. In virtualbox I had weir issues with urxvt though, the colours and inputs were wrong, but maybe that was another thing.
[21:51] <krababbel> W4sp: I mean on my first test I had used lightdm
[21:51] <SuperMiguel>  LiDar scsi12 : usb-storage 3-2:1.0
[21:52] <Signux> I don't want to see grub menu, i have just one OS (ubuntu), but i have to see this menu. how to hide it?
[21:52] <krababbel> SuperMiguel: Maybe 'sudo lshw |grep USB' helps.
[21:52] <W4sp> krababbel: OK, See if /etc/init/plymouth-stop.conf starts with xdm as the bug in dpkg_configure goofs it up. :-(
[21:52] <LiDar> bye bbl
[21:53] <antoine__> bonjour
[21:53] <antoine__> hellow
[21:53] <krababbel> W4sp: How can I see if it starts with xdm?
[21:54] <antoine__> how can I creat a ftp server ?
[21:54] <antoine__> pllease
[21:54] <antoine__> please
[21:54] <jimi_> After using HDMI out, the only options I have for my video card are 800x600 and 1024x780... i used to have a lot more than this...
[21:55] <krababbel> antoine__: I found it easier to scp, do you really need an ftp server, or do you just want to copy files?
[21:55] <SuperMiguel> krababbel: that doesnt display anything usefull
[21:56] <sin_tax> I still don't know why this user can't SSH into my server... Here is the verbose SSH log: http://pastebin.com/aD14F93u  Anyone have a clue?  Password authentication is valid, I have no idea why the connection closes.
[21:56] <krababbel> SuperMiguel: maybe search through the output of 'sudo lshw' manually.
[21:57] <W4sp> krababbel: Did you try...? sudo vi /etc/init/plymouth-stop.conf . Between the pipes '|' xdm should come first, followed by lightdm and so on.
[21:57] <antoine__> infact I want to create a ftp server to share documents with my friends
[21:57] <krababbel> W4sp: after kdm, xdm is second, then lxdm, lightdm, ...
[21:58] <krababbel> W4sp: didn't see gdm is actually first, then kdm, xdm
[21:58] <antoine__> not to lodge a web site
[21:58] <ekelly> I am seeing two issues that I feel may be connected. One presents as a crash: "_usr_bin_Xorg.0.crash". This occurs on an account with administrative privileges. The other issue is a non-administrative user being logged out randomly (usually during google chrome usage, but this is 90% what the machine is used for so it may be coincidence). How should I go about characterising these issues so I can seek more help
[21:59] <W4sp> krababbel: Yes. The entire dpkg-reconfigre is goofed up. So, you now know that where to start.
[21:59] <crazySDman> Is there anyone I can get in touch with who blocks IPs for http://ubuntu.com , http://launchpad.net , & http://canonical.com ? :(
[21:59] <krababbel> W4sp: sorry, now I see it, xdm isn't there between the pipes
[21:59] <antoine__> I arrive to installe a pakadge withe a ftp server but I don't know how can conect mi on it
[22:00] <krababbel> W4sp: Thanks a lot
[22:00] <antoine__> sorry for my bad english but I'm french
[22:00] <W4sp> krababbel: It anyway should start a different DM if xdm isn't there. IT's another bug perhaps.
[22:00] <Dr_Willis> !fr | antoine__
[22:00] <antoine__> oki
[22:00] <krababbel> W4sp: xdm is my only login manager, do you mean that?
[22:01] <W4sp> krababbel: You must have lightdm somewhere. This is Ubuntu, isn't it?
[22:01] <krababbel> W4sp: this is a console install, not the usual desktop, there was no manager at all after setup :)
[22:01] <krababbel> W4sp: I used the alternate installer
[22:02] <W4sp> krababbel: So it's minimal installation, and on top you installed X11?
[22:02] <Super8> Ubuntu gnome support desktop widgets?
[22:02] <krababbel> W4sp: yes, I installed xorg, xdm and a window manager i3
[22:02] <Signux> I have Windows as dual-boot system, now i remove it and i have just Ubuntu as OS, but grub menu is still showing, How to hide grub menu?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> krababbel: nice
[22:03] <krababbel> ActionParsnip: :) It is, didn't know ubuntu allowed that through a different installer
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> Signux: what about if you run:  sudo update-grub
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> krababbel: yes the mini installer is awesome
[22:04] <W4sp> krababbel: Hmmm. Do you have /etc/X11/default-display-manager with jist one line in it?
[22:04] <Super8> Guys?
[22:04] <Super8> Ubuntu gnome support desktop widgets?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> Super8: I believe so
[22:04] <SuperMiguel> krababbel: http://pastebin.com/0NX6hzSZ
[22:04] <Dr_Willis> Super8:  theres some widgits you can get.. but i think the  idea of the widgit on the desktop is dieing out.
[22:04] <Dr_Willis> !info gdesklets
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> !info wxwidget
[22:04] <krababbel> W4sp: yes, it just says /usr/bin/xdm
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> Super8:  check out conky also. and gdesklets.
[22:05] <Super8> What is KDE Plasma Widget Plasmoids
[22:05] <Signux> ActionParsnip : I run it, but nothing happen
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> at one time the Opera and google widgits worked.
[22:05] <Dr_Willis> Super8:  those are for kde.. like it says..
[22:05] <Super8> Ah kde.
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> Signux: did it show the kernels but not windows
[22:06] <Signux> ActionParsnip : yes
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> !find xdesklet
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Signux: but grub still loads..?
[22:06] <brontosaurusrex> Super8, what kind of info would you need?
[22:07] <Signux> ActionParsnip : yes, grub still loads
[22:07] <Super8> brontosaurusrex, huh?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Signux: can you pastebin your /etc/default/grub   file please
[22:07] <krababbel> SuperMiguel: I am not 100% sure, but I would guess it works as usb3, because those controllers need different drivers than usb2. My controller also says 'xhci_hcd'. And in /var/log/ somewhere there are generated a lot of messages/errors about xhci_hcd too. This is a bug, which has been noticed for two weeks or so, should also go away soon hopefully, but it works for me alright.
[22:07] <brontosaurusrex> Super8, with conky for example, weather is pain, but cpu usage is easy ...
[22:08] <Super8> ill go for gdesklets for now.
[22:08] <Signux> ActionParsnip : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1168857/
[22:09] <krababbel> SuperMiguel: so I meant that without support for your usb3, you wouldn't see anything you connect to the usb3 ports in linux.
[22:09] <ekelly> What does the "!find" and "!info" do? I've used it as a means to do the last command with that word but never seen it used like this?
[22:10] <Kitty_> Hey guys, I'm looking for a good program to burn music CDs, having issues with K3b though.  I thought it was XF86AudioNext but I don't have those
[22:11] <babyrodger> Banshee, Rhythmbox, and Brasero all burn cds.
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> Signux: and: GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0   is uncommented
[22:11] <lewis1711> I like brasero myself
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> !shortcut | lewis1711
[22:11] <Kitty_> K, lemme try those lol
[22:11] <Signux> ActionParsnip : let me test
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> Kitty_: xfburn is pretty decent
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Signux: here is mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1168864/
[22:13] <lewis1711> ActionParsnip: I am wanting to map keys to whatever commands they run manually in a stand alone windows manager. though that gives me something to go off
[22:14] <`DjM4X> been using internet on ubuntu all day long (wired) and i plugged it off my laptop to use it on my desktop, now the laptop internet won't work anymore and i havent changed anything. double checked wired connection information and it's all correct. any clue?
[22:15] <Kitty_> Awesome, it's working, thanks guys!
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> lewis1711: in the keyboard settings you can double click the action then press the key to set it
[22:16] <W4sp> krababbel: I can't tell really. I haven't a minimal with X11 installed (will do later tho).
[22:16] <lewis1711> what I need is what command is actually run when I press the keys, which keyboard settings seems to hide
[22:17] <vamp774> Dj:  you unplugged the cable from your laptop and put in in your desktop Im assuming you are implying when you put it back in the laptop the web doesnt work right?
[22:21] <Saiki> does anyone know how to fix "file not found" on 12.04 x64 (the file IS there, but I cannoy open it in a command line
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> Saiki: where is the file and where do you want it?
[22:22] <SuperMiguel> what can i use to test read and write speed of my external drive???
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> SuperMiguel: sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sdX
[22:23] <randomDude> tried to quit docky, noticed in htop it was using 745% cpu.... lol'd
[22:23] <joubin> Can anyone tell me if they are having issues installing ubuntu 12.4.1? keeps telling me that there are missing items and that the disk is damaged. However, Im using a flashdrive and ive tried it multiple times
[22:24] <gordonjcp> randomDude: I'm amazed how often "lighweight" apps run off screaming into the impossibly high CPU load end of things
[22:24] <randomDude> gordonjcp: docky is anything but lightweight.
[22:24] <SuperMiguel> ActionParsnip: 8358.25 MB/sec really?
[22:24] <gordonjcp> randomDude: well yeah
[22:24] <randomDude> gordonjcp: lightweight docks, tint2 holds that title.
[22:25] <krababbel> W4sp: thanks anyway, I hope, this did it, I edited plymouth-stop.conf
[22:25] <brontosaurusrex> randomDude, tint2 is not a dock like docky, its a config monster
[22:25] <Saiki> ActionParsnip: it's where it should be
[22:25] <vamp774> Joubin:  Maybe try burning another cd or the iso is corrupt
[22:26] <W4sp> krababbel: Very welcome. Just one question. Did you use mini.iso?
[22:26] <Saiki> ActionParsnip: I can open the file through a GUI, I cannoy open the file in command line
[22:26] <vamp774> I just installed 12.04 this morning and all went well
[22:26] <krababbel> W4sp: I used the alternate-installer.iso
[22:26] <d34d1ys1nz> Anyone know of a good firewall for ubuntu 11.04 - Firefox isn't loading websites
[22:27] <bhamrick> anyone have any advice for creating a new user on 12.04 via ssh? my new user is set up but my bash environment is strange, no tab complete or history and no directory context
[22:27] <W4sp> krababbel: I see. Thanks for the info. Did it come up after reboot?
[22:27] <Signux> ActionParsnip: Thank you, just because  GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 is commented, i log in ubuntu without grub ;)
[22:27] <joubin> vamp774 Ive downloaded the iso 4 times (the server edition). I have downloaded it using torrent and direct http. Ive also burned it to cds and made bootable flashdrives. all fail with the same perl missing and saying that the disk is damaged (even with USB)
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Signux: yay
[22:28] <vamp774> 64 bit or 32?
[22:28] <bhamrick> added a user via useradd, created a password, created authorized_keys file in .ssh and set ownership and permissions
[22:28] <vamp774> the hard disk or the cd it thinks is messed up?
[22:29] <joubin> 64 with the http download and 32 with the torrent
[22:29] <crazySDman> I'm hoping someone can tell me who to contact about bans of IPs for ubuntu.com, launchpad.net, and canonical.com ?
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> bhamrick: copy .bashrc  and .profile  from /root to the user's home, and chown it to the new user. you'll need to uncomment the bottom few lines then run:  source ~/.bashrc    to load the new config
[22:29] <vamp774> I havent used the new server edition yet I still use like 11.10
[22:29] <Signux> ActionParsnip: for loading ubuntu, is something must be shown like ( Loading Ubuntu or something)
[22:29] <vamp774> thats bizzare
[22:29] <Signux> ?
[22:30] <joubin> yeah. What ive dne is downloaded the 11.10
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Signux: if you use proprietary video drivers, you won't see plymouth
[22:30] <joubin> and ive been updating
[22:30] <vamp774> that will work but really backwards lol
[22:30] <vamp774> good idea
[22:30] <joubin> Thanks anyways @vamp774.
[22:31] <vamp774> Hey I tried
[22:31] <vamp774> Is that working though is it installing?
[22:31] <joubin> yeah. Im all the way up to 12.04 now. after doing the updates
[22:31] <Signux> ActionParsnip: i just see violet screen!!
[22:31] <joubin> I just wish I could have done a clean install :(
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> Signux: do you eventually get a login screen?
[22:32] <vamp774> lol.  Is it an older machine or newer?
[22:32] <bhamrick> ActionParsnip: I'm getting errors from bashrc, shopt: not found and /etc/bash_completion: [[: not found
[22:32] <ciao> addon
[22:32] <joubin> its the acer revo, bout it in 09. Im reinstalling because I just put a SSD in it
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> bhamrick: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[22:33] <vamp774> haha cool.  I've had nothing but trouble with my ssd.  awesome before it died
[22:33] <Signux> ActionParsnip: yes, at first, violet screen, after that i get login screen
[22:33] <vamp774> you boot in like 5 seconds
[22:33] <bhamrick> ActionParsnip: precise
[22:34] <joubin> @vamp774: I use to have this SSD in my macbook Pro. Sold it and got an air. So I thought I put it in my ubuntu. hopefully it doesnt die. Its just going to have the OS on it.
[22:34] <bhamrick> ActionParsnip: I copied them from the ubuntu user auto-created by AWS (this is an ec2 instance)
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> bhamrick: is the new user called shopt by any chance?
[22:35] <vamp774> nice thats what i did.  I got so tired of opening my case I just disconnected the SATA cable out the back lol w/out going near the mobo.  I basically forgot cable management :D
[22:35] <krababbel> W4sp: didn't try, I am doing something :)
[22:35] <cody_> what the apt get-install for java?
[22:35] <bhamrick> ActionParsnip: no it's my name
[22:35] <cody_> what is
[22:35] <d34d1ys1nz> I can't visit any websites or login to my router page but I can be on irc. Anyone have any suggestions?
[22:35] <joubin> nice. Liev and learn. Right?
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> bhamrick: did you copy the files from /root ?
[22:36] <vamp774> yep.  Eh it was a cheaper SSD
[22:36] <bhamrick> ActionParsnip: the ubuntu user is root, yeah, amazon renames it
[22:36] <bhamrick> ActionParsnip: guess I should find a bashrc for a non-root user?
[22:36] <vamp774> @d34dlyslnz:  Just use ufw
[22:36] <vamp774> sudo ufw enable
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> bhamrick: I can give you mine, so you don't have the nonesense in it.
[22:37] <bhamrick> ActionParsnip: that would be awesome, thanks
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> bhamrick: wget -O ~/.bashrc https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/bashrc; wget -O ~/.profile https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/profile; source ~/.bashrc
[22:39] <joubin> Alright, gotta reboot. Im out. Thanks @vamp774
[22:39] <vamp774> @joubin no problem  hope it all works out for ya
[22:41] <Cong> why doesn't empathy + hotmail work?
[22:41] <TheLordOfTime> hotmail's evil that way, Cong
[22:41] <TheLordOfTime> Cong: last i heard, they don't allow access via IMAP or POP3 unless you pay money
[22:41] <Cong> it's not evil, gmail is. they read your mail for you.
[22:42] <TheLordOfTime> that may have changed, but i havent heard of them changing policy (that's Microsoft for you)
[22:42] <TheLordOfTime> Cong:  exactly why I run my own mailserver.  Problem? :P
[22:42] <TheLordOfTime> no but seriously...
[22:42] <TheLordOfTime> Cong: i think Microsoft hasnt revoked their policies on hotmail and email clients.
[22:42] <Cong> so messing uses imap and pop3?
[22:42] <Cong> messaging*
[22:43] <TheLordOfTime> Cong:  i misunderstood, that's a different protocol i think
[22:43] <W4sp> krababbel: :-)
[22:43] <SolarisBoy> indeed
[22:43]  * TheLordOfTime forgot empathy for a sec
[22:43] <TheLordOfTime> actually...
[22:43] <TheLordOfTime> just tested on mine
