[08:09] <llutz_> akis: why? you just need to be member of "video" group. running stuff with sudo is a bad idea
[08:10] <lenochka> llutz_: yes, probably it does. but then I cannot see in ps aux neither. I mean I have pid, but I cannot see the process
[08:10] <souncom> but before the update ive extract here and compressed on my rigth clic menu on this file
[08:10] <akis> ok. i am remember of everything. i just run it as sudo to be sure that the issue isn't the privilige of my user
[08:11] <akis> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218240/
[08:12] <llutz_> lenochka: ps -p <pid>
[08:13] <hardbard> hi people, noob here. I'm trying to install boinc, i downloaded a sh file, gave permissions -x and decompressed it,  but it doesnt seem contain a installer...?
[08:13] <timfrost> !info boinc-client | hardbard
[08:14] <llutz_> akis: "tvtime-configure --norm=pal --frequencies=europe"
[08:14] <timfrost> hardbard: safer to use the packaged version
[08:14] <tuxmatt> hardbard,  can you pm me
[08:15] <Ihsan_> Hi, I just installed bumblebee, followed the options on the ubuntu wiki, i rebooted, trying to run optirun in terminal get the following error:  [ERROR]The Bumblebee daemon has not been started yet or the t path /var/run/bumblebee/socket was incorrent. [ERROR]Could not connect to bumblebee daemon - is it running
[08:15] <akis> ok. i gave this already
[08:15] <tuxmatt> hardbard,  it is safer to do the package way see if its in the package manager apt-get then what you want to install
[08:17] <F-3000> Thank you Ubuntu for allowing me to test serial mices!
[08:17] <Calinou> ._.
[08:17] <F-3000> Seriously.
[08:18] <hardbard> thx :)
[08:19] <codeMonkey_> Trying to do an install of ubuntu 12.04 server onto a netbook.  It gets as far as configuring apt: Retrieving file 51 of 57 and sit there.  So I press enter after 2 or 3 hours....it goes to next file and ends up erroring like 20 times shortly thereafter. This is 3rd time trying to install, each on sane hard drive, repartitioned and reformatted to ext3 each time,
[08:19] <codeMonkey_>  Each copy of ubuntu was from same iso on same flash drive, but after second fail I  repartitioned and reformatted and re ran unetboot in from iso.  It worked previously on same computer for prior build
[08:22] <auronandace> codeMonkey_: posting the errors would help
[08:23] <codeMonkey_> Yea, unforrtunately I didnt take note of those ,but this third round is gettin close to where it errored before.  But its always stuck on file 51 of 57
[08:23] <codeMonkey_> So if it deoes it this time ill be able to post them
[08:24] <auronandace> codeMonkey_: sounds like an issue with a mirror
[08:24] <Jon--> My ubuntu boots slowly. I don't want to install botochart because the dev has been stalled for 7 years. My friend suggested I shoot it with shotgun, I think this is fair solution. Any alternatives?
[08:24] <Jon--> Sarcasm aside, is there a more up to date port of bootchart or a way to see what services/etc are slowing down boot time?
[08:24] <Jon--> s/port/fork
[08:25] <codeMonkey_> K.  Thanks
[08:25] <tuxmatt> Join can you update to grub2
[08:26] <paulus68_> I run rsnapshot backupscript which is working good how can I sent a notification by mail in order to know if everything went ok or not ok
[08:27] <fidel> Jon--: apart from being maybe not developerd so far - is there any known error / issues with it? last time i used it it seemed to work without effects
[08:27] <F-3000> tuxmatt: Jon can you update to grub2 (just relayed with correct nick in case user watches only alerts)
[08:27] <Jon--> fidel, I didn't try to use it yet
[08:27] <F-3000> (and got it wrong as well)
[08:28] <Jon--> F-3000, I read that thinking it was for me. I was very disappointed.
[08:28] <tuxmatt> f - 3000 what you mean just relayed with the currect nick in users only alert ?
[08:29] <llutz_> paulus68_: rsnapshot daily && echo "OK"|mail -s success<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:29] <F-3000> tuxmatt, I get a beep when my nick is mentioned in the chat. That's what I meant. :)
[08:29] <Jon--> tuxmatt, most chat clients will alert you when someone types your name and allow you to tab-complete names. Ex: try typing Jon*tab*, it should complete me
[08:29] <blackshirt> is anyone know where channle to learn assembly languages?
[08:30] <tuxmatt> yea i know but i never mentioned hes name
[08:30] <auronandace> !alis | blackshirt
[08:30] <blackshirt> i dont know what it is
[08:31] <Jon--> auronandace, I didn't know anything about this.
[08:31] <F-3000> tuxmatt, well, then we both with Jon-- misunderstood your sentence. ;)

[08:38] <Sil4nc4> hi guys, does anybody know how i can manage the order of the interfaces when doing PXE installations? The embedded controller is the one that does the PXE boot but when the kickstart comes up, the embedded controller becomes  eth2. What determines the order?
[08:38] <llutz_> jon edit /etc/default/grub, line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"   and run sudo update-grub to make nosplash permanent
[08:38] <Tuxist> vartotojas: check wine testing ppa
[08:39] <vartotojas> Tuxist: ok, just tell me how

[08:43] <llutz_> !alis | xcervo
[08:44] <vartotojas> blackshirt:  would you like to direct me to some good basics?
[08:45] <tuxmatt> vartotojas, when i started i learned the terminal
[08:45] <vartotojas> well, its all because my mate installed linux on my laptop
[08:45] <blackshirt> vartotojas, you can go to help.ubuntu.com.. A lot documentations available there...
[08:46] <kritika> i don't know exactly when , i guess, when there are more apps are open and if try to switch between them then i have frozen screen and my comp does not responds to any thing... @<blackshirt>
[08:46] <vartotojas> i see
[08:47] <blackshirt> kritika, how about switch to console, can you do it?
[08:47] <kritika> no nothing @<blackshirt>
[08:48] <souncom> up: anyone have an idea for my problem?
[08:49] <blackshirt> souncom, i don't know about your problem?
[08:49] <kritika> i did ctrl+alt+f2 no console opened and also ctrl+alt+t . @<blackshirt>
[08:49] <blackshirt> kritika,  learn to analyze your log
[08:50] <kritika> @<blackshirt> how ?
[08:50] <F-3000> blackshirt, one doesn't do that overnight.
[08:50] <souncom> after an update on ubuntu 12.04 LTS, extract here an compressed are missing on my rigth clic menu :(
[08:50] <auronandace> kritika: this isn't twitter, you don't need the @
[08:51] <Smackbook> i found this advice for my laptop wifi to make and install the compat drivers, but I get this when I run sudo make install  http://pastebin.com/LsQZKa55  can anyone tell me what this means or what problem its indicating?
[08:51] <blackshirt> for related kernel messages, look on some /var/log/messages, /var/log/syslog, or anithinglog on /var/log
[08:51] <kritika> ok :)
[08:52] <crizis> souncom, reinstalling archive app could help..
[08:52] <blackshirt> f-3000, sorry, maybe i,m missed something last night
[08:53] <souncom> i've reinstalling app file roller
[08:53] <souncom> and onthing
[08:53] <souncom> nothing**
[08:54] <F-3000> blackshirt, just about your comment to kritika about learning to read logs. Sadly, its not something that a novice will learn easily.
[08:54] <blackshirt> define nothing...
[08:54] <sveinse> Where does the people behind plymouth hang out?  Is rebooting after updates mandatory? What happens if computer isn't rebooted after an upgrade and another upgrade requiring reboot comes and is applied? Do updates "stack up" and appy without problems? Or is this somehow causing problems?
[08:55] <crizis> souncom, removing/moving off ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus and ~/.gconf/apps/file-roller could help..
[08:56] <huhmaster> patc, that shouldn't cause any problems
[08:56] <gordonjcp> patc: pretty much
[08:56] <sveinse> blackshirt: suck or no suck, I need to make changes to the boot splash/logging for a product of ours, so I have some plymouth questions
[08:56] <gordonjcp> patc: you may experience some weirdness if some libraries have been replaced
[08:56] <crizis> patc, won't cause any problems, but stuff like kernel upgrades won't be in effect until reboot
[08:57] <gordonjcp> patc: if the kernel version is *very* out of line with what's currently installed, expect general weirdness
[08:57] <souncom> when i clic rigth on archive i dont have extract here, and when i clic on folder i dont have compressed
[08:57] <gordonjcp> souncom: maybe you don't have something installed to expand that type of archive
[08:57] <blackshirt> sveinse, you can ask here..just ask..and i would be happy if i can help you
[08:58] <patc> huhmaster: gordonjcp : crizis : ok I see... thank you. Do one of you have some docum entation suggestions I can read to understand more in details how it works?
[08:58] <patc> documentation*
[08:58] <tuxmatt> im here to help to
[08:59] <souncom> i don't have this problem before update
[08:59] <vartotojas> Tuxist:  hey man, anyway, i decided to delete some games.. But now i cant find the directory Oo
[08:59] <crizis> patc, in a nutshell it's as simple as 1) services that get upgraded do get restarted automatically 2) kernel upgrades and some shared library updates need reboot (or with latter restarting every service which uses the lib)
[09:00] <saber_> mmm
[09:00] <sveinse> blackshirt: thanks. There is a limitation i ply which I need to overcome. ply can't show a splash on a fb and provide verbose text output on a serial console at the same time. This is something I need to fix. So it's either about modding ply, or to set ply in text mode (to seriel console) and implement my own fb splash routine.
[09:00] <Tuxist> vartotojas: /home/(username)/.wine/
[09:00] <sveinse> blackshirt: The easiest way would be to remove ply altogether, but alas, ply is married into everying in ubuntu @boot
[09:01] <Fudge> sveinse  you dont happen to know what resolution plymouth is using for images ?
[09:02] <sveinse> Fudge: Uhm. No. We're on an ARM platform with only one resolution. That is in our case setup in kernel commandline
[09:02] <blackshirt> sveinse, yes,plymoyth goes to deepth on ubuntu,you can't easilly remove it without breaking entire all system
[09:02] <patc> crizis: ok, I understand. I guess that what I don't understand is the way the updates are applied. As I understand your answer, for updates requiring reboot, the update is a totally new version of the lib that is replaced. Right? The updates don't somehow "patch" older files, so if 3 updates of the same lib are applied, the pacakge is simply replaced completely with every newer version? Correct?
[09:03] <Fudge> thanks sveinse
[09:03] <patc> crizis: so in my example, the 2 first updates just get "smashed out" by the 3rd at the reboot, yes?
[09:04] <ocx> is AHCI supported in ubuntu12? i dont see to find mySATA disks when trying to install
[09:06] <shivangpatel> any budy  idea about how to setup android SDK with eclipse in Ubuntu
[09:07] <shivangpatel> i was try my best, but ther was some error related to R variable.....
[09:08] <shivangpatel> ??
[09:09] <Jon--> my apt-key foo sucks, how I fix http://pastie.org/private/chtyosbjibs2kmndlqf8fa
[09:11] <F-3000> 12 allright serial mice. Tested with Ubuntu 12.04 liveUSB.
[09:21] <patc> I don't understand is the way the updates are applied. As I understand your answer, for updates requiring reboot, the update is a totally new version of the lib that is replaced. Right? The updates don't somehow "patch" older files, so if 3 updates of the same lib are applied, the pacakge is simply replaced completely with every newer version? Correct? So in my example, the 2 first updates just get "smashed out" by the 3rd at the reboot, yes?
[09:23] <minixvbox> patc: updates don't neccesarily stack, just the latest would be required
[09:23] <kellyangels> ♥♡♥♡♥Hello♥♡♥♡♥
[09:23] <kellyangels> Anyone care to chat?
[09:24] <llutz_> !ot | kellyangels wrong channel
[09:24] <kellyangels> Ok.. sorry
[09:25] <patc> minixvbox: yes, but in the eventuality that one or more updates are already "pending" (applied, but requiring reboot). What happens when a newer get applied, that also asks for reboot? Sorry if my question is maybe difficult to understand...
[09:26] <llutz_> patc: the pending ones will be overwritten, just the latest will be applied
[09:26] <minixvbox> patc: ah, i see, i'd assume it would simply replace the previous one
[09:27] <patc> llutz_, minixvbox, thank you guys, now I think it's clear! Great! :)
[09:27] <minixvbox> !yay | patc
[09:28] <patc> Thank you for your help!
[09:36] <bindaasomatic> is there a way to force only a single instance of application ?
[09:37] <yangholmes> hi~
[09:37] <yangholmes> I am new here~~~
[09:38] <bindaasomatic> this should be done/checked by application itself but still just curious
[09:38] <minixvbox> bindaasomatic: vlc has an option to force one instance
[09:39] <bindaasomatic> ok..,every application should have one and it should be default behavior
[09:39] <wuxort> hello
[09:39] <CommaCrazy> hi all
[09:39] <CommaCrazy> question, I have a colleague that is using ubuntu and has a problem where every so often he can't open a website and as soon as I restart his interface with ifconfig eth0 down and then up the site works again on that comp
[09:41] <sirdrake> buongiorno
[09:43] <wuxort> is there anyone here, who could help me in kernel compiling questions?
[09:44] <wuxort> not a "how to compile" kind of questions
[09:44] <Tyler91> So I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 server-amd64 I get the following message: an error was returned while trying to install the busybox-initramfs package onto the target system. There are a lot of other errors in the syslog. But idk how to share that here. Everytime I go back and wipe the partition to try and install again I get the same error message. Not sure if you guys can help or not,
[09:44] <Tyler91> thanks either way.
[09:45] <minixvbox> !paste | Tyler91
[09:47] <Tyler91> Sorry minixvbox I tried using pastebin before to submit my query but that resulted in even less people responding, actually 0 people responded...I don't think my issue is entirely complex. lol
[09:48] <minixvbox> Tyler91: pastebin is for multple lines of text, you describe your problem here
[09:48] <minixvbox> Tyler91: eg: pastebin your syslog
[09:49] <Tyler91> Well I can't, no way of exporting it
[09:49] <Tyler91> at least 100 lines
[09:49] <gordonjcp> Tyler91: take a photograph of the screen?
[09:49] <minixvbox> Tyler91: thats exactly what pastebin is for, or are you saying you can't get it to a pastebin?
[09:50] <Tyler91> yes I can't get it from the terminal to pastebin, and it would take a lot of screenshots to show you all the lines lol
[09:50] <wuxort> Is it necessary to compile in the numa stuff in kernel or is it skippable due to its server related? or is it software emulated on amd64 standard laptops?
[09:51] <Tyler91> @gordonjcp if there is another way I can get it from the terminal to here that you know of I will but otherwise I've given all the information I have access to really. Idk what else to tell you.

[10:08] <CXIV> johan_ No chance to get lags?

[10:10] <minixvbox> signornessuno: your / is full
[10:11] <signornessuno> how to free some space?
[10:11] <Guest12012> Hmmm
[10:11] <minixvbox> signornessuno: get rid of things you don't need
[10:11] <J-man> See if there are unused kernels in /boot/
[10:11] <johan_> CXIV: not much, I think.  might be slightly slower but I doubt you'd notice it
[10:11] <minixvbox> signornessuno: older kernels might be a good place to start
[10:12] <minixvbox> signornessuno: don't just delete them but uninstall then via the package manager
[10:12] <johan_> signornessuno: you could clean out some old log files in /var/log as well, and maybe even delete everything that's currently in /tm
[10:12] <johan_> signornessuno: you could clean out some old log files in /var/log as well, and maybe even delete everything that's currently in /tmp
[10:13] <signornessuno> only 8 mb in tmp
[10:14] <minixvbox> signornessuno: you need to figure out whats taking up the space
[10:14] <signornessuno> ok i remove 5 gb of logs
[10:14] <Mrokii> Hello. Is there an application starter like Synapse that actually learns what the user wants to use a certain command for? Synapse obviously does not. I mean something equivalent to Quicksilver on OS X.
[10:14] <signornessuno> thanks very much now i have enoght space
[10:15] <jrib> Mrokii: can you give an example of what quicksilver does that's special?
[10:15] <J-man> signoressuno: baobab is a program that you can use to analyse disk usage; it's installed by default
[10:15] <alex132> 5.1 sound, so I have acer 5738g,ubuntu 12.04,alsa for sound, I managed to modify alsa conf to have 5.1 sound but alsa recognize my laptop speakers as speakers , when I plug the jack for my audio system it recognize it as headphones what to do to be recognized as speakers
[10:16] <minixvbox> signornessuno: if your logs are reaching 5gb that indicates there is an issue somewhere on your system
[10:17] <ejv> hey guys, i used the lvm ubuntu installer, and it says my home is out of space, how do I give it more space?
[10:17] <signornessuno> minixvbox, ok, next time before delete i have a look at logs
[10:18] <Mrokii> jrib: What I mean is that Quicksilver learns that for example "ff" stands for Firefox and doesn't change that arbitrarily. Synapse doesn't seem to do that, or at least not very well, I don't know. As long as I don't install or use any "new" apps, it works fairly well. But I had a few occasions were I started new apps (not via Synapse) and then, out of a sudden, Synapse shows me this new app instead of the app
[10:18] <Mrokii> the command has actually been used for for a long time.

[10:19] <Mrokii> jrib: A concrete example: I have been typing "thu" for a long time to start Thunderbird. Recently I started the "Thunar File Manager" (bot not via Synapse) and now when I type "thu" in Synapse, it shows me Thunar as the default option instead of Thunderbird. Which makes no sense at all.
[10:20] <qw[russian]> help me please: i install ubuntu (Ultimate Edition) now and i would like see what is version i used
[10:20] <minixvbox> Mrokii: use unity, that has a similar search feature
[10:20] <eFfeM> qw, log in then cat /proc/version
[10:20] <Mrokii> eFfeM: AutoHotkey might be what you're looking for.
[10:20] <minixvbox> qw[russian]: ultimate edition isn't supported here
[10:20] <eFfeM> Mrokii: probably
[10:20] <Mrokii> minixvbox: I'd use unity if it wouldn't be so awfully slow for me.
[10:21] <minixvbox> Mrokii: try unity2d
[10:21] <qw[russian]> but is ubutu
[10:21] <qw[russian]> ubuntu*
[10:21] <qw[russian]> sorry
[10:21] <Mrokii> eFfeM: Oops, the app is named "AutoKey"
[10:21] <minixvbox> qw[russian]: no, its a derivative, they change stuff
[10:21] <minixvbox> qw[russian]: only official ubuntu releases are supported here
[10:21] <eFfeM> Mrokii: thanks, got it

[10:22] <Mrokii> minixvbox: I will, but afaik Uninty2d is removed in Ubuntu 12.10. Plus, I think Unity as such is rather bloated.
[10:22] <qw[russian]> minixvbox: okey, i have second question were i see version in my system ?
[10:23] <minixvbox> qw[russian]: i can't help you, you aren't using a supported release

[10:30] <J-man> karthick87: it's propably a kernel issue, try booting in an old kernel if you have that installed then further resolve the problem from there

[10:36] <J-man> karthick87: Okay what you can try is booting in single user mode or boot with a live cd and change /etc/shadow; you need some basic knowledge on what to do, ill try finding a manual 1sec

[10:53] <J-man> wishin_master: Try: modprobe -r b43 ssb wl;modprobe wl
[10:54] <wishin_master> J-man: i have added b43 in the /etc/modules/ as well
[10:54] <buglyjoe> basically I have to switch to Unity if I have to use ubuntu tweak
[10:55] <buglyjoe> does anyone know how to get this prompt in other wms?
[10:55] <minixvbox> buglyjoe: ubuntu-tweak wasn't designed for awesome, xmonad or fluxbox
[10:56] <dr_willis> buglyjoe:  you do have unity desktop installed but just not using it?
[10:56] <buglyjoe> tEuy0<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #ubuntu

[10:56] <buglyjoe>  minixvbox : I have the default that I got with the os install
[10:57] <buglyjoe>  minixvbox : so there is no way to get around this?
[10:57] <minixvbox> buglyjoe: you want ubuntu-tweak to work for something it isn't designed for?
[10:58] <wishin_master> J-man: once actionparsnip told me to add b43 to /etc/modules file then it started working fine but i recently formatted the sys since then i am not able to commect through wireless.
[10:58] <J-man> wishin_master: You can try lspci -vvv and see which driver it tries to use and blacklist that in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[10:59] <buglyjoe>  minixvbox : well, it works except for the part where it is supposed to show the root login prompt. anyway, I guess I'll use Unity when I have to
[10:59] <J-man> wishin_master: Or revert the changes in /etc/modules and see what happens

[11:43] <Autrax> oficial ubuntu forum
[11:43] <dr_willis> the forums have NOTHING to do with us in thr management of the forums
[11:43] <Daniela>  who can help me?
[11:44] <dr_willis> Danielpk:  and the issue is?
[11:44] <fidel> dr_willis: he/she left
[11:44] <dr_willis> one way to get help.... not a good way...
[11:44] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: I haven't got web access, can you just tell me what it is?
[11:45]  * dr_willis closes the ticket
[11:46] <lJ6il> gordonjcp : You give it a long text, it cuts it, and gives you 3 words by 3 words (for example), with the speed you want
[11:46] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: helps you seeing faster the words, and increasing your peripheral vision
[11:46] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: hm, I've never come across anything like that but it sounds easy enough to write
[11:46] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: fwiw I recommend that my students *don't* speed-read ;-)
[11:47] <dr_willis> guest-Dcxvar:  its best to keep it in the channel. i am in class right now.
[11:47] <dr_willis> guest-Dcxvar:  you may want to change nicks and remove the guest- part also. it makes it harder to nick complete
[11:48] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: yes. I don't know much about programming (i learnt C++ a long time ago) but i think i could build one. I'm just looking somewhere if it exists. I don't want to waste time if there's a much better software already done by someone. Why did you recomment to *not* speed read to your students ?
[11:48] <lJ6il> recommend*
[11:48] <guest-Dcxvar> how to change my nick?
[11:48] <dr_willis> guest-Dcxvar:  you said earlier you could login in to your user from the console login: screen
[11:48] <dr_willis>   /nick billgates
[11:48] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: because they don't take it in
[11:49] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:49] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: sorry for my bad english : to not take it in ? What does that mean ?
[11:50] <blackshirt> hei blueskaj
[11:50] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: they can memorise stuff, but they don't actually comprehend it
[11:50] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: so you can ask them to repeat it and they'll gabble it out verbatim
[11:50] <BluesKaj> hi blackshirt
[11:50] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: but if you ask them to *explain* what they read, they can't
[11:50] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: oh ok. Maybe they practiced speed reading in a bad way
[11:50] <guest-Dcxvar> ok, now i see i cant
[11:51] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: don't know; at the moment I'm dealing with American exchange students who are doing degree courses over here but struggle with high-school reading comprehension work ;-)
[11:51] <guest-Dcxvar> im on guest user -.-
[11:52] <dr_willis> guest-Dcxvar:  from the alt-ctrl-f1 console.. can you login
[11:52] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: oh ok... yeah. Maybe it's not the best time for them to try this.
[11:53] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: these are not stupid people; we're talking about folk who are doing their honours year of engineering degrees
[11:53] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: they just plain can't read, though
[11:53] <hroi> hi im creating a raid with mdamd
[11:53] <hroi> mdadm I mean
[11:53] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: never said they were stupid... We all have some different issues
[11:53] <dr_willis> bbl....  lab time in class.
[11:53] <hroi> Im wondering about "chunk size"
[11:54] <hroi> Im going to store very large files in my raid.
[11:54] <hroi> should I be setting the chunk size to big? instead of 512 bites.??
[11:54] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: it's their education system
[11:54] <BluesKaj> gordonjcp, sometimes we forget that colloquialisms are difficult to understand for non native English speakers
[11:54] <etfb> I'm getting sick of all the bugs in LibreOffice.  Is OpenOffice any more stable?  Or are they basically the same product?
[11:55] <gordonjcp> lJ6il: the common thread is that they were privately educated in the US, so I suspect they got sat in front of a TV and shown videos for most of it
[11:55] <gordonjcp> BluesKaj: it's fun teaching ESOL courses when English is your second language
[11:55] <gordonjcp> BluesKaj: technically it's my first now though
[11:56] <etfb> gordonjcp: Did you have your previous language removed?  sudo apt-get remove swahili or something like that?
[11:56] <gordonjcp> etfb: :-)
[11:56] <lJ6il> gordonjcp: yeah...
[11:57] <etfb> Hmmm... apt-get for the human brain... someone needs to get on that, stat!
[11:57] <bazhang> !ot | etfb
[11:57] <gordonjcp> etfb: when I was in primary school we used Gaelic pretty much all the time
[11:57] <gordonjcp> etfb: I've forgotten most of it
[11:57] <etfb> bazhang: Nice, but read up a bit.  I was the only one in that thread to actually mention anything remotely ubuntish...
[11:58] <bazhang> gordonjcp, etfb lets move on please
[11:58] <etfb> Indeed.  Anyone got any experience with OpenOffice since the "official" change to LibreOffice?  I'm sick of LO and want to try OO again.
[11:58] <lJ6il> anyway thanks gordonjcp :)
[11:58] <lJ6il> Bye !
[12:00] <guest-Dcxvar> guys
[12:00] <elaminato> anybody using wine to play age of empires with voobly?
[12:00] <BluesKaj> yes gordonjcp 2 of my kids taught English as a second language over in Taiwan for 8 yrs or so , it was enjoyable experience for them
[12:00] <guest-Dcxvar> someone please help me. Im having a big trouble. Ive lost control on my user and i cant log in on it atm
[12:01] <gordonjcp> guest-Dcxvar: have you lost your password?
[12:01] <gordonjcp> !password | guest-Dcxvar
[12:02] <guest-Dcxvar> gordonjcp, when i try to change the password, i get message "authentication token manipulation error"
[12:02] <guest-Dcxvar> what does that mean?
[12:02] <etfb> Wow, that article on "strong" passwords is deeply broken.  15 characters or more?  Ha!
[12:02] <etfb> guest-Dcxvar: what command are you using to change the password?
[12:03] <guest-Dcxvar> passwd <username>
[12:03] <etfb> guest-Dcxvar: have you seen this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/91188/authentication-token-manipulation-error
[12:04] <guest-Dcxvar> i shall check it now
[12:04] <ludwig_> i would higly suggest using whole sentences as password... plain strings are out of date. Eg. "This is my highly secure Password, try to crack this Sucker!"  easy to remember and not guessable
[12:05] <etfb> ludwig_: Indeed. Even Bruce Scneier quotes this cartoon: http://xkcd.com/936/
[12:05] <Calinou> ludwig_: heard of dictionary attacks?
[12:05]  * Calinou DOU-BLE FACE-PALMS
[12:06] <ludwig_> Calinou: do you know how they work? dont think so
[12:06] <Calinou> I do
[12:06] <etfb> Calinou: your dictionary contains the phrase "This is my highly secure Password, try
[12:06] <etfb> 	  to crack this Sucker!" does it?
[12:06] <etfb> Some dictionary...
[12:06] <Calinou> people don't bruteforce anymore
[12:06] <Calinou> they all know people use normal words as passwords
[12:06] <ludwig_> Calinou: this would only work if you have ONE WORD
[12:06] <Calinou> etfb: WORDS, not phrases
[12:06] <Calinou> today's dictionary attacks can assemble words
[12:06] <elaminato> bruteforce takes lots of time
[12:06] <ludwig_> the whole prhase has is the password hash, how you want to brut force this??
[12:06] <Calinou> not with today's GPUs
[12:06] <etfb> Calinou: you are embarrassing yourself.  The encryption of "fred nurk" is not the same as the encryption of "fred" followed by the encryption of " nurk".
[12:07] <bazhang> Calinou, thats enough
[12:07] <etfb> Your instinct is wrong.  Don't trust instinct in matters of security!  Read up on passphrases.  See Schneier on Security for loads of info.  Hang on while I find a good overview...
[12:08] <ikonia> guys - this is not an ubuntu topic
[12:08] <ikonia> it is not for this channel, please stop now.
[12:08] <bazhang> etfb, this is the wrong place for it
[12:08] <Calinou> not for -offtopic too 8)
[12:08] <Braden`> Actually
[12:08] <alex132> I have acer 5738g ,ubuntu 12.04 , i modified the conf to have 5.1 sound it works but my problem is that only my laptop speakers are detected as speakers in sound settings ,when I plug in my system audio jack ubuntu detects headphones and that only has 2.0 sound so how to make ubuntu detect my system jack as speakers
[12:09] <ludwig_> alex132: how do you output 5.1 sound via 1 system jack? :-)
[12:10] <Braden`> Statistically speaking if you mix letters, numbers, and special characters and have a 28 character long password using a triple method encryption plus a good cipher e.g. SHA512, it would take between 21 and 35 years to bruteforce that password.
[12:10] <etfb> ikonia: have a look at the article on "strong" passwords linked above.  It is dangerously out of date.  Security is an important issue; this channel is giving people the wrong information.
[12:10] <etfb> If that's not an ubuntu topic, nothing is.
[12:10] <etfb> http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2012/09/recent_developm_1.html
[12:10] <ikonia> etfb: I don't need to read it thank you
[12:10] <ikonia> etfb: this channel is for ubuntu support, not generic password cracking, please stop
[12:11] <gordonjcp> Guest28235: so have you followed the instruction in that link?  You rebooted as the root user?
[12:11] <etfb> ikonia: What the -- ?
[12:11] <alex132> it's a male female cable in it it's a jack to rc and rc goes int-o my system , in windows 7 I can select both 2.0 and 5.1 settings
[12:11] <ikonia> etfb: sorry, if that's not clear I suggest you join #ubuntu-ops and don't speak in this channel again until it is clear.
[12:11] <etfb> ikonia: It looks like you *do* need to read, because you just accused me of discussing a topic that is the diametric opposite of what I was talking about.
[12:11] <krababbel> alex132: is it a digital output? otherwise analogue 5.1 is impossible on two channels
[12:12] <krababbel> alex132: one jack usually is stereo out, some have three channels, look at the male connector and count the plastic rings, they separate the channels
[12:12] <nydel> is 12.10 / quantal quetzal beta1 upgrade for wubi pretty stable?
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> nydel  #ubuntu+1
[12:13] <nydel> thanks MonkeyDust
[12:14] <guest-nfBBvi> ok im going to kill myself -.-
[12:14] <guest-nfBBvi> i changed root password but i still cant log on administrator
[12:15] <elaminato> then type ./kill :D
[12:15] <bazhang> guest-nfBBvi, there is no root password enabled
[12:15] <ikonia> guest-nfBBvi: 1.) the root password should not be set 2.) the administrator account is a different account from root
[12:15] <gordonjcp> guest-nfBBvi: never do that
[12:15] <bazhang> !behelpful | elaminato
[12:15] <gordonjcp> guest-nfBBvi: you shouldn't have a root password set
[12:16] <alex132> it is analog and there are 2 rings , I will use digital as soon as I will buy the cable for it ,I hoped that if there is working in windows 7 it will work somehow in ubuntu also ,it is not a big problem I still have sound but I would like to be able to configure subwofer also
[12:17] <guest-nfBBvi> gordonjcp: my friend minstalled linux on my laptop. i created a new user which is shown as admininstrator at user accounts
[12:17] <guest-nfBBvi> when i turn on my laptop
[12:17] <guest-nfBBvi> im entering my password
[12:18] <guest-nfBBvi> and i get some flashes
[12:18] <guest-nfBBvi> then everything goes back to main log in screen
[12:18] <ludwig_> what you mean by "flashes" ?
[12:18] <guest-nfBBvi> and i cant enter my user
[12:18] <guest-nfBBvi> -.-
[12:20] <BluesKaj> alex132, does your speaker system have a digital controller with coax ot optical inputs?
[12:20] <BluesKaj> ot=or
[12:21] <guest-nfBBvi> ludwig_: look, i turned on laptop. First of all it shows me the log in menu for my own user and guest user
[12:21] <guest-nfBBvi> i hit my own user, and it should log in into my user yes?
[12:21] <krababbel> alex132: two rings would be three channels, that is usuall used on systems with only two jacks, so two jacks would have 2x3=6 channels. On Windows my audiochip has a driver which can do virtual surround over stereo output, that is not 5.1. On ubuntu what you see in pavucontrol is the physical config, and for me even in windows it is set to stereo, or headphones, and the virtual surround is a different setting. On linux, the media
[12:21] <gordonjcp> guest-nfBBvi: I'm not sure why you would create a user called "administrator", what's the thinking behind that?
[12:22] <guest-nfBBvi> but, when i hit log in, i see some monitor black screen flashes and it just drops me back to users panel
[12:22] <guest-nfBBvi> nooo
[12:22] <guest-nfBBvi> My user is named Zilw3
[12:22] <guest-nfBBvi> and its administrator
[12:22] <guest-nfBBvi> on user accounts

[13:15] <dr_willis> tldp.org used to have some bash color howtos i recall ages ago.
[13:15] <dr_willis> 'bash ansi color codes' may give some good hits on a search engine also

[13:17] <dr_willis> i had a example ages ago that put all the escape codes into easy to use variables like $RED and $BLUE

[13:25] <guest-anUDoN> Hey guys. Im new on linux system and i think now im screwed. Today i tried to instal some hybrid video card and i think this **** made some problems for me. After all that stuff i used unity -- reset. And guess what? Now i cant enter my User. Firstly, when i turn on my laptop it shows me the menu with the users right? First one is mine user account named "Zilw3". It has administrator privilegies.. When i enter password for this user it should log in
[13:25] <guest-anUDoN> into my user and everything should work good, but, when i hit enter, my monitor flashes with some black colour and throws me back into Users panel to select user. Atm i can use only guest user. So this is my problem.
[13:25] <jrib> guest-anUDoN: have you tried just creating a new user?
[13:26] <Braden`> How do I search for packages that I have installed?
[13:26] <jrib> Braden`: use apt-cache or dpkg -l
[13:26] <Braden`> jrib:  What parm for apt-cache?
[13:27] <jrib> Braden`: if you give an example of what you want to do, I can be more specific
[13:27] <Braden`> jrib search for a package containing the file libproc*
[13:27] <_val_> Hey there. after booting, I'm getting  (initramfs)  I've fixed this problem once byt  set rootfs=(hd0,msdos01)
[13:27] <guest-anUDoN> jrib: like how?
[13:27] <_val_> or something like this but can't figure it out. Anyone?
[13:28] <_val_> s/byt/by
[13:28] <jrib> guest-anUDoN: reboot, choose recovery mode, get a root shell, enter the command « adduser name_of_your_new_user_here », then to give the new user admin rights, « adduser name_of_new_user_here admin »
[13:28] <jrib> Braden`: you would need to use apt-file or http://packages.ubuntu.com to search for *files* inside packages
[13:29] <jrib> Braden`: apt-file search libproc
[13:29] <jrib> !find libproc
[13:29] <ocx> is AHCI supported in ubuntu12? i dont see to find mySATA disks when trying to install

[13:38] <_val_> I don't remember anymore how to goot the kernel.  set root=(hd0,msdos1) something like this?

[13:41] <Absolute0> I have ubuntu-server running as a virtualbox guest. I am able to ssh to it, but when I try accessing it through the browser with port 5000, it doesn't respond. I tried running `sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 5000 -j ACCEPT`, but that didn't help.
[13:42] <ikonia> Absolute0: whats running on port 5000
[13:43] <Absolute0> ikonia: a web server
[13:43] <Absolute0> a development web server, to be exact
[13:43] <tanguy__> salut
[13:43] <ikonia> Absolute0: ok, so from localhost can you telnet localhost 500
[13:43] <ikonia> 5000

[13:48] <Absolute0> jrib: correct
[13:48] <jrib> Absolute0: you're aware that by default, the server isn't externally accessible?
[13:49] <Absolute0> jrib: I am not, let me look at the options
[13:50] <jrib> Absolute0: you can either (1) just use ssh port forwarding or (2) change your call to app.run() so that it becomes externally accessible.  I'd probably prefer (1)
[13:51] <Absolute0> jrib: I am already using ssh forwarding, but it's annoying to do that on every VM where I test the app.
[13:52] <wubino> how do I find where grub is installed?
[13:52] <KyleYankan> Hey Ubuntu - quick question. I tried to set up VNC on my desktop - but now everytime I log into my desktop, it pulls up a broken X session. No toolsbars, desktop, jsut a terminal window. What file do I need to fix?
[13:52] <wubino> I am trying to upgrade but not sure where to install the new version
[13:52] <jrib> Absolute0: as long as you're sure only the computers you want can actually access the server (because of a firewall or closed network), then (2) should be ok too
[13:52] <Absolute0> jrib: do you know how to do that from the manager?
[13:52] <Absolute0> I mean Flask-Script
[13:52] <Absolute0> I'll look into it, thanks!
[13:53] <jrib> Absolute0: I don't.  I think you call "app.run(<IP_ADDRESS>)" (or something).  It's in the docs
[13:53] <jrib> Absolute0: app.run(host='<IP_ADDRESS>') apparently instead of the usual app.run()
[13:56] <Absolute0> jrib: python manage.py runserver -t <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:56] <Absolute0> thanks!
[13:56] <kelvinella> so is there a better way to send msg to whatsapp in ubuntu?

[14:03] <dr_willis> ultimate edition lasted i looked was not 'light'
[14:03] <u-k4kwq> do you know any irc channel that support it
[14:03] <Pici> !ultimate
[14:03] <dr_willis> newzi:  boot, or login
[14:04] <newzi> dr_willis: Boot, It disables ICMP replys
[14:04] <dr_willis> check the distros homepage
[14:05] <cdavis> How do I get a CPU monitor in the notification area on 12.04?
[14:05] <CTLwm> cdavis: sudo apt-get install conky
[14:06] <dr_willis> silly irc client i got keeps crahsing on nick completion.. ;()
[14:06] <cdavis> CTLwm: thanks, but conky isn't what I am looking for
[14:06] <CTLwm> cdavis: you mean in the taskbar?
[14:07] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com has a large list of indicator-applets cdavis
[14:07] <dr_willis> several cpu monitor ones
[14:07] <cdavis> CTLwm: yes. I am embarassed to say I can't seem to figure out how to add anythign to the task bar
[14:08] <newzi> dr_willis: Any clue?
[14:08] <newzi> dr_willis: init.d?
[14:08] <dr_willis> newzi:  with what? my client crashed.
[14:08] <newzi> dr_willis: Adding a command to execute at boot
[14:08] <dr_willis> depends on the command and what its doing
[14:09] <CTLwm> cdavis: are you  using unity?
[14:09] <newzi> echo 1 > a file
[14:09] <cdavis> CTLwm: yes
[14:10] <blubee> hey is there anyone here have an idea what could be wrong with my setup, everytime i restart my computer i get greeted with this : http://screencloud.net/v/cgB9
[14:10] <dr_willis> newzi:  rc.local  may be what you need
[14:10] <blubee> basically a full screen terminal emulator and the additional devices dialog loads, i check my startup applicaations and they are not in there, where else could this setting be that i can check to make sure?
[14:10] <CTLwm> cdavis: http://askubuntu.com/questions/29757/what-can-replace-system-monitoring-in-the-top-gnome-panel-in-unity
[14:10] <newzi> dr_willis: Thanks Heaps :D
[14:12] <Nicholas24042859> Hi is anyone available?
[14:12] <KyleYankan> What's the best way to found out my sound card's input device? A program is trying to access /dev/dsp, but it doesnt exist
[14:12] <Nicholas24042859> i have a small question about ubuntu server as a router and vpn
[14:12] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: yes
[14:12] <dr_willis> KyleYankan:  what program?
[14:12] <Nicholas24042859> the server can access the network on the other end of the vpn
[14:12] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: you want to deploy OpenVPN or PPTP VPN?
[14:12] <KyleYankan> dr_willis: soundmodem
[14:12] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: it's pptp
[14:12] <Boreeas> So, to clean up the color escapes in my .bashrc, I tried to stick the actual escapes in variables and then reference them with ${COLORNAME}: http://pastebin.com/Eixu2nk5 However, the prompt looks like this instead: \[\e\[00;33m\][\[\e[01;36m\]user@host?~]→
[14:13] <Boreeas> Why are the color codes not replaced?
[14:13] <dr_willis> !find soundmodem
[14:13] <dr_willis> !info soundmodem
[14:13] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: the connection works ok and the server can access the network on the vpn but my dhcp clients, the rest of the network connected locally to the server can't access the vpn network
[14:13] <theadmin> Boreeas: Why not use "tput setf" instead of that?
[14:14] <Boreeas> Because I didn't know that
[14:14] <KyleYankan> dr_willis: It listens to a radio via soundcard and interprets digital transmissions.
[14:14] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: Are you using pptpd?
[14:14] <dr_willis> Boreeas:  to many nested quotes or not enough when exposring the variable
[14:14] <theadmin> Boreeas: As for the actual question, single-quoted strings aren't mutable, your PS1 is in single quotes.
[14:14] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: yes. I think so :)
[14:15] <dr_willis> bbl. school time
[14:15] <newzi> !upstart
[14:16] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: the whole connection was made through command line...it's weird because the server has access to the resources behind the vpn just fine...it's just the local machines connected to the server (from which they get ip's) can't access them
[14:16] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: are you accessing your PPTP VPN through Linux Distro? i.e. using a Linux client; like gnome-network-manager?
[14:16] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: yes through an Ubuntu server machine
[14:17] <newzi> Heeeey
[14:17] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: Confirm us you have followed this - http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-debian.phtml
[14:18] <newzi> Shit, IRC is all plain text
[14:18] <rihen_> how can i change the background of my login screen in gnome 3.4> (server ubuntu 12.04lts)
[14:18] <newzi> anyone use SSL?
[14:19] <newzi> rihen_: I wanna know that aswell
[14:19] <newzi> !who newzi
[14:19] <gordonjcp> rihen_: if you change your desktop background, the login screen background should change too
[14:20] <IngElias> Ey guys I have ubuntu 11.10, sound was perfect but now doesnt work
[14:20] <IngElias>  HDA Intel PCH
[14:21] <L3top> what changed IngElias?
[14:21] <IngElias> The last I changed i think was installing and then removing osdlyrics
[14:23] <L3top> lspci -nnk | grep -i audio -A3
[14:23] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: Yes. but right now I'm stuck on routing it seems. I'm going to try again using the LAN to LAN configuration
[14:23] <Boreeas> theadmin: Ah, thanks. I didn't know that single vs double quotes had any difference
[14:23] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: I'll be right back. Thank you for your help.

[14:24] <L3top> hmm... I would expect that was working... I assume nothing is muted in alsamixer IngElias
[14:24] <CTLwm> Nicholas24042859: I used PPTPD long back. Now I run OpenVPN server; much better in my opinion. Well here is a helpful link for you - http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-diagnosis.phtml

[14:26] <designbybeck> I'm back to hunting Laptops, boss said it is now or ever if I wanted one. How about this for running Ubuntu? http://www.pasteall.org/35434
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> designbybeck  not in this channel, please
[14:26] <designbybeck> It is about Ubuntu Linux
[14:27] <designbybeck> What good is asking about Ubuntu if you don't have a computer to run it on
[14:27] <jacky007> !ot
[14:27] <L3top> IngElias: 100% is different than mute. Do you have an /etc/asound.conf file? (this is probably a pulse audio problem. I do not use or allow use of pulse cause... of this)
[14:29] <jrib> designbybeck: just check for issues with the wireless and the video card.  Everything else should be fine
[14:29] <IngElias> i dont have /etc/asound.conf
[14:30] <designbybeck> thank you jrib
[14:30] <L3top> IngElias: is this analog or digital output? How is it physically connected?

[14:32] <L3top> No problem... we all learn at some point.
[14:32] <IngElias> i will not happen again
[14:32] <L3top> IngElias: so how is this connected to speakers? Analog, HDMI, laptop speakers... etc
[14:33] <IngElias> yes, laptop speakers, i tried to use headphones but still doesnt work

[14:35] <L3top> IngElias: please pastebin the output of tail /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

[14:37] <Nicholas24042859> @CTLwm: I'm looking at this command right here "iptables --insert OUTPUT 1 --source <IP_ADDRESS>/<IP_ADDRESS>  --destination <IP_ADDRESS>/16 --jump ACCEPT --out-interface ppp0" and i'm trying to figure out where this should go...is this in filter? nat? or mangle?
[14:37] <jacky007> will it work ?  i want to configure my backtrack 5 r2 .After make some changes in it , i want to put it back on my USB . Can i do that with the help of unebootin ?
[14:37] <L3top> jacky007: ubuntu has a native tool Startup Disk Creator which it will work with, or unetbootin will work as well.
[14:37] <Sidney__> how do I create a list of files on my nas
[14:37] <L3top> backtrack is not supported here
[14:38] <IngElias> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218714/
[14:38] <jacky007> L3top: i want to use it as LIVE USB  : )
[14:38] <L3top> Then do it. I cannot tell you how well remastersys will work with backtrack.
[14:38] <L3top> nor can I troubleshoot problems you encounter.
[14:39] <Morten_> Hi, what is the best way, to setup ssh between two machines, so you don't need password?
[14:40] <llutz> Morten_: key without passphrases, which is a security-issue, be aware of this
[14:40] <L3top> I am afraid this is looking more and more like a pulse audio problem... and I don't play with pulse I am afraid IngElias.
[14:40] <AR__> you simply make a use without password
[14:40] <L3top> You can setup a shared key...
[14:40] <llutz> AR__: thats even more a security-nightmare
[14:40] <IngElias> what means a pulse audio problem?
[14:40] <Morten_> I thought of something like, ssh-keygen .. something like: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2008/11/3-steps-to-perform-ssh-login-without-password-using-ssh-keygen-ssh-copy-id/
[14:40] <usr13> IngElias: Want to do a couple tests?
[14:41] <IngElias> yes tell me
[14:41] <usr13> IngElias: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[14:41] <usr13> IngElias: Tell us if you get errors?
[14:41] <L3top> IngElias: Pulse audio is a layer over alsa which allows "easy" configuration which I find so prone to error I refuse to deal with it.
[14:41] <blackshirt> nalamt
[14:41] <IngElias> nothing sounds
[14:42] <usr13> IngElias: What do you see on the screen though?
[14:42] <usr13> IngElias: Does it appear to be playing sounds?  Or is it giving errors?
[14:42] <L3top> IngElias: does this produce sound? sudo speaker-test -c 2 -t sine -l 1 -D hw:0,0
[14:43] <keithx> how to write an application to the google travel grants
[14:43] <IngElias> its seams to work but nothing happens, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218730/
[14:43] <keithx> any one has any idea?
[14:44] <L3top> That is not really an ubuntu support question keithx.
[14:44] <IngElias> also nothing
[14:44] <L3top> But it appears to be trying correct IngElias?
[14:44] <usr13> IngElias: pkill pulseaudio ; rm -r ~/.pulse* #And test again
[14:44] <IngElias> no errors
[14:44] <L3top> listen to usr13.
[14:45] <IngElias> the same, no errors but doesnt sound nothing
[14:46] <usr13> IngElias: alsamixer  #See that channels are turned up, not muted.  Particularly PCM
[14:46] <IngElias> i mean doesnt sound anything (sorry for my poor english)
[14:46] <usr13> IngElias: alsamixer
[14:46] <usr13> IngElias: Turn everything up
[14:47] <L3top> IngElias: and make sure nothing says "M" or "MM" at the bottom.
[14:47] <usr13> IngElias: Right and left arrows will take you channel to channel.  Up arrow will turn up.  M will toggle mute on or off.
[14:47] <IngElias> lol, it works now but wtf is PCM? Maestro was full
[14:47] <usr13> IngElias: Ok. very good.  What did you turn up?
[14:48] <usr13> IngElias: You only needed to turn up PCM?
[14:48] <IngElias> w8 no PCM was 100%, speaker was 0%
[14:48] <Ihsan_> Hello, I just set up my notebook with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. After install I also installed Gnome 3, I don't like gnome 3 actually , so I chose to use Gnome Classic from the login screen. I got a little problem. I cant get the clock set. I set it up for 24-hours clock but it still stays AM or PM, does someone know a fix for this or something? I would really appreciate :)
[14:49] <usr13> Pulse Code Modulation
[14:49] <L3top> PCM stands for pulse code modulation... but you said previously when I asked about alsamixer that _EVERYTHING_ was at 100%
[14:49]  * L3top thwaps
[14:49] <usr13> Ihsan_: Use Custom
[14:50] <Ihsan_> Custom? Is that a program or a setting? Could you pleae provide where I shold look at, since im pretty new tot his :)
[14:50] <IngElias> Sorry L3top, i misunderstood you, i'm very very new at Ubuntu and also Linux
[14:50] <IngElias> Thank u guys
[14:50] <L3top> :)np :)
[14:50] <usr13> IngElias: NP
[14:51] <IngElias> U're awesome, and Linux is awesome too i have to lunch greeting from Argentina :)
[14:52] <seumas_> Dead Parakeets
[14:53] <seumas_> good mourning :)
[14:55] <seumas_> 1600 peoples and not one is chatting....
[14:55] <seumas_> interesting
[14:56] <vooze> Every so often the GUI, sound and ALL freezes for 1-2 secounds and then comes back.. and it can happen every 1 min. sometimes.. Anyone have any idea which log i should check? (ubuntu 12.04 unity) and Nvidia driver
[14:56] <seumas_> sorry dude wish i could help you
[14:56] <seumas_> this is all new to me
[14:57] <usr13> vooze: tail -f /var/log/messages
[14:57] <usr13> vooze: Or htop
[14:58] <seumas_> I've been having issues after compiling Lubuntu that works fine till the computer gets rebooted
[14:58] <usr13> vooze: ... and see what pops to top of list ... (htop)
[14:58] <usr13> seumas_: And _______________________ ?
[14:59] <seumas_> the whole install is screwed up and haywire
[14:59] <usr13> seumas_: Define "screwed up and haywire".
[14:59] <seumas_> so I switched back to 10.04
[14:59] <seumas_> with gnome]
[15:00] <seumas_> it's just not stable
[15:00] <usr13> seumas_: How did you do that?  You re-installed?
[15:00] <kalakouentin> hello, I just install 12.04 and I am using Gnome classic, I can't find an obvious way to change the theme so I can have the close button on the upper right corner of each window (in general I can't find how to edit window border properties) any idea anyone?
[15:00] <seumas_> yeah I tried lubuntu like 5 times with the same results
[15:00] <aSHKaN> wb khan
[15:01] <vooze> usr13: will try htop :) just happend but was too slow to open htop again and nothing seems unnormal
[15:02] <seumas_> I was trying to get this 12 year old desktop with an AMD Athlon classic and 1 gig of ram functional again
[15:02] <usr13> kalakouentin: gconf-editor  See:  http://www.ntlug.org/Articles/CustomizeUbuntu #And scroll down near bottom.
[15:03] <usr13> vooze: seumas_ Try xubuntu
[15:03] <seumas_> not too much a fan of xforce
[15:03] <usr13> vooze: seumas_ sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[15:03] <usr13> seumas_: Ok, then fix what you have.
[15:03] <seumas_> ok thanks
[15:03] <flan_suse> I'm getting video tearing on an Intel HD 4000 in VLC. Is there any way to fix this? Everything I read online says it's a "video driver issue".
[15:04] <seumas_> I might just put slackware on this thing and call it good
[15:05] <bazhang> seumas_, then lubuntu is probably what you would need to consider lxde/openbox
[15:05] <seumas_> lxde kept giving me problems with this hardware
[15:05] <seumas_> when running lubintu
[15:06] <usr13> seumas_: Which is it? You have hardware issue?  Or you have problem with your Desktop Environment?
[15:06] <mneptok> seumas_: it's "XFCE" and not "xforce" (X-Force is a Marvel superhero team) :)
[15:06] <seumas_> could be the desktop enviornment
[15:07] <usr13> seumas_: You can fix lubuntu and customize it, but you  have to get your hands dirty.
[15:07] <mneptok> seumas_: what graphics are in the machine?
[15:07] <slackguru> Does anyone know anything about what is going on with UBUNTU users in conjunction with twitter?
[15:07] <seumas_> lubuntu runs fine on my netbook and laptop but for some reason it wont compile and run right on this ancent machine
[15:08] <seumas_> I am running an ATI card with 128 megs ddr ram
[15:08] <mneptok> seumas_: uh. there's nothing to compile with Lubuntu.
[15:08] <dubac0> !ubuntu+1
[15:08] <slackguru> I thought maybe it was only me until last night I got a strange message from @ubuntuview
[15:08] <dubac0> ok
[15:08] <seumas_> the cereal numbers and model are scratched off
[15:08] <mneptok> seumas_: what software are you compiling and why?
[15:09] <slackguru> It appears that ubuntu users are somehow being used for spam tweets relating to "flatter tummys", "diet pills", "ripped abs" and other "health" related spam websites.
[15:09] <seumas_> its just an old machine I salvaged to do linux distros and experiment with
[15:10] <slackguru> I believe this may be something worthy of the entire UBUNTU communities attention.
[15:10] <mneptok> slackguru: this is not the place to discuss such things. this is OS support.
[15:10] <slackguru> I believe this is OS related
[15:10] <k4r1m> does know anyone know to fix get MS exchange 5.5 working on evolution? or maybe an alternative solution? thunderbird doesn't even let me try to auth
[15:10] <slackguru> I believe it is specific to UBUNTU users
[15:10] <mneptok> slackguru: it is not a techinical issue with the OS, thus it is offtopic.
[15:10] <pront0> k4r1m: Thunderbird doesn't support Exchange does it? That's why people use Evolution
[15:11] <seumas_> it's not a thunderbird but an athlon classic
[15:11] <seumas_> :D
[15:11] <mneptok> seumas_: what software are you compiling and why?
[15:11] <slackguru> If there is a back door in one of the packages provided by cannonical that allows someone to exploit something that may be off topic, it is still on topic
[15:12] <usr13> slackguru: Spit it out.
[15:12] <mneptok> slackguru: it is offtopic. so stop.
[15:12] <k4r1m> pront0: I thought it did... regardless it doesn't work and neither does Evolution... any other solutions?
[15:12] <usr13> slackguru: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:12] <kalakouentin> usr13, sorry I can't seem to locate the options that the writer refers to in that article
[15:12] <mdob> hi. Where can I find some real small ubuntu 11.04 for server purposes/
[15:13] <usr13> kalakouentin: YOu have gnome classic?  Did you try,  gconf-editor ?
[15:13] <WayneJetSki> hello
[15:13] <santosh> How to make the "Find Files" lens default?
[15:13] <pront0> k4r1m: Evolution is the only Linux software I know of which supports Exchange. Do you have the right Exchange plugin enabled?
[15:13] <mneptok> !server > mdob
[15:13] <k4r1m> pront0, I just installed ubuntu so I don't so
[15:13] <slackguru> Let's see, I just said I believe that something in the UBUNTU operating system, specific to UBUNTU users may be compromised using the exploitation of twitter as evidence and you tell me I'm off topic? Let's take a vote.
[15:14] <pront0> k4r1m: I'd have a look at the settings then. Evolution definitely supports Exchange, it should even work with ancient versions like you're using
[15:14] <seumas_> haha!
[15:14] <mneptok> let's not.
[15:14] <usr13> slacker_1l: GIve it up dude.
[15:14] <k4r1m> prooz, it gives me an error "The server is running Exchange 5.5. Exchange Connector
[15:14] <k4r1m> supports Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 only."
[15:14] <usr13> slacker_1l: Sorry, wrong nic
[15:14] <santosh> Can anyone tell me how to make the "Find Files" lens default?
[15:14] <kalakouentin> no I'll install gconf-editor now
[15:15] <k4r1m> and I'm pretty sure the server is not running 5.5.. it's running exchange 2010
[15:15] <usr13> kalakouentin: Ok
[15:15] <mdob> !ubuntu > mdob
[15:15] <mdob> that's so cool :D
[15:16] <kalakouentin> I was using dconf editor
[15:16] <mdob> server uses 2.5 GB of disk space. I need somthing much smaller.
[15:16] <slackguru> Come on people, I am asking for your help to track an unknown exploit in the OS, I used twitter as evidence that it exists.
[15:16] <Myrtti> slackguru: this is a support channel, not a bug hunting channel
[15:16] <mneptok> slackguru: drop it, or that kick turns into a ban.
[15:16] <seumas_> ok I am installing xubuntu to see if it work :P
[15:16] <Myrtti> slackguru: please respect that - if you want to discuss it, there are other venues.
[15:16] <slackguru> dropped
[15:16] <usr13> !bug | slacker_1l
[15:17] <usr13> sorry again slacker_1l
[15:17] <slackguru> not with the knowledge in here there aren't other venues
[15:17] <usr13> !bug | slackguru
[15:17] <kalakouentin> usr13, thank you, the button_layout is now changed.
[15:17] <usr13> kalakouentin: NP
[15:18] <usr13> kalakouentin: That author tells how to customize a number of things.
[15:18] <slackguru> I'm a LaunchPad member, I am just at a loss because I can think of one package that couple possibly capture a thread from another package AND a webclient too.
[15:18] <usr13> kalakouentin: ... that are not totally evident.
[15:19] <slackguru> Sorry to bother you all with this "off-topic" stuff.
[15:20] <usr13> slacker_1l: What package?
[15:20] <bazhang> usr13, he's gone
[15:20] <usr13> slacker_1l: Sorry again.  Yea, bazhang tnx
[15:25] <mdob> any ideas how to lighten system?
[15:25] <alecb> I have a Realtek RTL8188CE wifi card and I have connectivity issues with public wifi networks (works for a few minutes, then disconnects, can't reconnect until after reboot). wat do?
[15:25] <mneptok> mdob: the question lacks the requisite specificity to form a meaningful answer.
[15:25] <bazhang> mdob, try a different DE
[15:26] <flan_suse> alecb: What version of Ubuntu?
[15:26] <bazhang> mdob such as lubuntu
[15:26] <mdob> ubuntu 11.04 server
[15:26] <mneptok> mdob: you asked about a server. install the server edition.
[15:26] <bazhang> !lubuntu > mdob
[15:26] <usr13> mdob: What Desktop Environment are you running?
[15:26] <alecb> flan_suse: 12.04
[15:26] <usr13> mdob: Sorry....
[15:26] <mneptok> mdob: and there is no reason to be installing 11.04.
[15:26] <flan_suse> alecb: Issue is only with public Wifi?
[15:26] <bazhang> mdob, lighter than server? try the minimal and build up
[15:27] <minixvbox> mdob: 11.04 support runs out next month
[15:27] <bazhang> !minimal | mdob
[15:27] <kraetzja> I'm trying to compile something with pthreads, but gcc is complaining about all the posix thread functions not being defined
[15:27] <kraetzja> i have pthread.h included, libc6-dev installed
[15:27] <alecb> flan_suse: mostly, I have a feeling it's just that the signal is weaker than for private wifi and this causes the disconnects
[15:27] <kraetzja> wtf is wrong
[15:27] <mdob> I've just instlled the minimal and it's still over 1 GB
[15:27] <alecb> flan_suse: personal wifi where I'm a few feet from the router doesn't seem to be a problem
[15:27] <alecb> flan_suse: (ie, it's usable, at least)
[15:27] <flan_suse> alecu: Possible, yes. Is the system a dual-boot where you can test how well Windows works with the wireless chip?
[15:28] <k4r1m> exchange 2010 anyone?
[15:28] <minixvbox> k4r1m: what sort of a question is that?
[15:28] <compdoc> k4r1m, what about it?
[15:29] <alecb> flan_suse: yup, works fine with windows
[15:29] <k4r1m> mindstorm, compdoc: how do I get it working haha
[15:29] <mdob> I've got my application build on 11.04 and I don't want to change that for the moment.
[15:29] <compdoc> install Windows Server, install Exchange. Done
[15:29] <flan_suse> alecu: Oh.
[15:30] <mdob> I've found something on JeOS what do you think about it?
[15:30] <k4r1m> compdoc, sorry I'm asking about a client that supports exchange 2010 on ubuntu
[15:30] <mneptok> k4r1m: for mail and calendar both?
[15:30] <k4r1m> afterall this is ubuntu support not M$ support.
[15:30] <dr_willis> i thought jeos was dead
[15:30] <minixvbox> mdob: derivatives are not supported here, this is just a ubuntu support channel
[15:31] <compdoc> k4r1m, ahh
[15:31] <k4r1m> mneptok, it would make my day if I get mail working
[15:31] <dr_willis> jeos used to be a ubuntu minim al variant, and official
[15:31] <compdoc> k4r1m, it support smtp and pop3 and IMAP
[15:31] <mneptok> k4r1m: just use IMAP
[15:31] <mdob> minixvbox: do you know where I can ask about JeOS?
[15:31] <mneptok> k4r1m: or this - http://darkircop.org/xdata/
[15:31] <k4r1m> my inbox doesn't have IMAP nor POP3 access
[15:31] <og01> k4r1m: also davmail maybe? http://davmail.sourceforge.net/
[15:31] <dr_willis> !jeos
[15:31] <minixvbox> mdob: never heard of it, try their website
[15:32] <nemik> hello. does anyone know how i could get X apps to load from a cgi-bin script?
[15:32] <usr13> mdob: There is also dsl
[15:32] <dr_willis> jeos i thought is a dead prooject now
[15:32] <flan_suse> alecu: You can try manually compiling the latest version of the driver, but it'll have to be recompiled after each kernel update. Probablynot worth it.
[15:32] <mdob> usr13, I know but not sure if packages are the same as in 11.04
[15:32] <flan_suse> alecb: I think the driver for rtl8188CE is in staging (rtl8192se).
[15:32] <og01> nemik: If you want what i think you want - make sure the DISPLAY enviroment variable is set on the server
[15:33] <k4r1m> og01, tried davmail and it doesn't work either.. probably because all the ports are all blocked
[15:33] <usr13> nemik: cgi-bin scripts are for a webserver.  Right?
[15:33] <usr13> mdob: I don't know, just FYI.
[15:33] <usr13> nemik: So, are you talking about web apps?
[15:34] <alecb> flan_suse: I've actually already tried this, and it didn't seem to help (though I'm not 100% sure how to check if the compiled version is actually the one being used). I also tried using the Realtek driver
[15:34] <nemik> og01: usr13: yes it is an apache cgi-bin bash script. i put DISPLAY=:0 and it is not working
[15:34] <jrib> nemik: you probably need to investigate xauth and such
[15:34] <usr13> nemik: export DISPLAY=:0.0
[15:34] <mdob> usr13, thanks anyway.
[15:35] <flan_suse> alecb: Probably not as strong under Linux?
[15:35] <nemik> usr13: yes! thank you! i didn't put export, with that it works great.
[15:35] <nemik> thank you very much
[15:35] <flan_suse> alecu: I think i used to have a laptop with the same wireless card, but the signal was strong.
[15:35] <m1k1> ciao
[15:35] <m1k1> !list
[15:36] <alecb> flan_suse: not as strong under linux? I'm trying to use the same wifi from the same location in both windows and linux, if that's what you mean
[15:38] <flan_suse> alecu: The Windows driver may be superior for the same chipset.
[15:38] <k4r1m> anything else, anyone?
[15:38] <bazhang> k4r1m, for what
[15:38] <akupedia> no idea
[15:38] <flan_suse> alecu: Assuming you get weaker signals under Linux, but not Windows.
[15:38] <alecb> flan_suse: I think I remember seeing something that would let you use the windows driver from linux? could/should I try that?
[15:38] <k4r1m> bazhang, looking for a way to get exchange 2010 mail working on ubuntu >.<
[15:38] <alecu> flan_suse: you probably mean "alecb", not me!
[15:38] <k4r1m> no IMAP nor POP3
[15:38] <bazhang> flan_suse, try tab complete. it's alecb not alecu
[15:39] <bazhang> apologies alecu
[15:39] <alecu> no prob!
[15:40] <usr13> k4r1m: Are you using evolution?
[15:40] <k4r1m> usr13: seems to only support 200-2007
[15:41] <k4r1m> tried it numerous times with no luck, it just kept crashing or telling me version 5.5 is not support which is like exchange 1998
[15:41] <flan_suse> Oh, whoops.
[15:41] <k4r1m> 1997*
[15:41] <flan_suse> alecb: Yeah, it's called ndiswrapper.
[15:42] <k4r1m> I really thought there would be proper support for exchange 2010 on linux... Do I really have to run vm to get this crap working?
[15:42] <zykotick9> k4r1m: exchange is MS prioritary "email" and your surprised it doesn't work....
[15:43] <tomreyn> k4r1m: the crap is outside of your ubuntu system in this case.
[15:43] <Queops>  Hello! https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/postfix.html => Configuring SASL, I can't find what it wants me to edit on /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
[15:43] <bazhang> http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/06/how-to-install-microsoft-office-suite-2010-in-ubuntu-12-04-using-wine-1-5/    k4r1m read this
[15:44] <usr13> k4r1m: From the research I just did, it appears to work.
[15:44] <k4r1m> i'm not saying it's ubuntu's vault.. all I'm saying there has to be other users facing the same problem and a lot of them and there is should be software to get it working
[15:44] <bazhang> usr13, it does, with wine
[15:44] <flan_suse> alecb: A tool to help you do it is called: ndisgtk
[15:44] <k4r1m> yeah it install with wine I tried it but outlook doesn't work, just crashes
[15:44] <usr13> bazhang: I see.
[15:44] <bazhang> k4r1m, then check th e LINK i just gave you
[15:44] <flan_suse> alecu: You can download it from the repository. It's known as "Windows Wireless Drivers" in your menu.
[15:45] <k4r1m> bazhang, alright I'll try that it looks a little different
[15:45] <bazhang> k4r1m, it works perfectly fine with wine
[15:45] <alecb> flan_suse: mhm, reading through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[15:46] <tomreyn> Queops: are you on ubuntu 12.04 then?
[15:46] <Queops> tomreyn: correct
[15:46] <usr13> k4r1m: http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000378.htm
[15:46] <k4r1m> bazhang, I'll report back in  a few thanks
[15:46] <flan_suse> alejandr1: ndisgtk (aka: Windows Wireless Drivers) is a user-friendly GUI method.
[15:46] <flan_suse> I mean... alecb.
[15:46] <Queops> tomreyn: seems there are new config files (yay!....) if you could help me set this up I would appreciate it
[15:47] <guest-wOaf7e> hey guys. i need some help. i think ive done something i shouldnt and now i cant access all my files which are on my user. atm im using guest user, so nothing in terminal works for me
[15:47] <usr13> bazhang: What I'm seeing is that you can get native evolution to work.
[15:47] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, did what
[15:47] <tomreyn> Queops: so is the dovecot configuration file not available a /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf ? or are you unable to locate the "auth default" section in it?
[15:47] <k4r1m> usr13: I read that page earlier... ended up with evolution crashing
[15:47] <usr13> k4r1m: O
[15:47] <bazhang> usr13, ok. I saw the wine solution
[15:47] <tomreyn> Queops: new config files? as nin newer than which ones, and where are those?
[15:47] <guest-wOaf7e> are there any ways to get permissions to open root directory and copy my files?
[15:47] <minixvbox> guest-wOaf7e: weren't you told earlier to backup your stuff because you can log in via tty
[15:48] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, what did you do exactly. please give details
[15:48] <guest-wOaf7e> how to backup in tty?
[15:48] <usr13> bazhang: k4r1m Ok well if you can get it to work under wine, you should be good to go.
[15:48] <k4r1m> let me give evolution another try and if it doesn't work ill try that wine office guide
[15:48] <minixvbox> !tty | guest-wOaf7e
[15:49] <guest-wOaf7e> bazhang: ive installed some kind of amd drivers and then my laptop suddenly crashed Oo
[15:49] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, backup home? or what precisely. please be very clear
[15:49] <Queops> tomreyn: dovecot-core (1:2.0.19-0ubuntu2) just said that it created a lot of new version of config files
[15:49] <Queops> tomreyn: and no theres nothing there related to socket listen
[15:49] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, installed from where. why not start in recovery mode then
[15:50] <usr13> bazhang: k4r1m All that I see is pretty old.  So I don't know.  I've really not  worked through that problem myself.
[15:50] <Queops> tomreyn: the file still exists though
[15:50] <k4r1m> OH SHIT IT WORKED
[15:50] <k4r1m> loooL
[15:50] <usr13> k4r1m: Ok, there you go.
[15:50] <bazhang> k4r1m, no cursing here
[15:50] <minixvbox> !language | k4r1m
[15:50] <guest-wOaf7e> bazhang: im new on linux
[15:50] <guest-wOaf7e> bazhang:  so its kinda difficult for me with all those recovery modes
[15:50] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, installed the drivers from where
[15:50] <guest-wOaf7e> bazhang: or tty
[15:51] <guest-wOaf7e> on amd radeon web pages
[15:51] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, you're not answering my question
[15:51] <minixvbox> guest-wOaf7e: get a livecd/usb then and copy your files
[15:52] <guest-wOaf7e> minivbox about the tty?
[15:52] <guest-wOaf7e> minixvbox: how i can backup in tty
[15:52] <guest-wOaf7e> ?
[15:53] <k4r1m> I'm going on a victory lap around the office, thanks guys!
[15:53] <usr13> guest-wOaf7e: Is this just a display problem?
[15:53] <guest-wOaf7e> not only display
[15:53] <guest-wOaf7e> i cant enter my own user
[15:53] <guest-wOaf7e> and cant access all my files/folders
[15:53] <usr13> guest-wOaf7e: Have you forgotten the password?
[15:53] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, installing video drivers would not hvae that effect
[15:54] <guest-wOaf7e> bazhang: im telling you, im new on linux -.-
[15:54] <minixvbox> usr13: yes, he is having a display problem, he can't login because it throws him back to the login screen but guest account works fine
[15:54] <guest-wOaf7e> mini!!!!!!!!
[15:54] <guest-wOaf7e> your right!
[15:54] <usr13> guest-wOaf7e: You might just do:  mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[15:54] <bazhang> guest-wOaf7e, please tell us where you got the drivers from, exactly
[15:54] <minixvbox> guest-wOaf7e: you were on earlier and i remember
[15:54] <guest-wOaf7e> and i want to fix it
[15:54] <usr13> guest-wOaf7e: sudo
[15:55] <usr13> guest-wOaf7e: You might just do: sudo  mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[15:55] <guest-wOaf7e> in tty?
[15:55] <usr13> sure
[15:55] <killer_> sometimes when i close my laptop lid n opens after sometime ....then ....screen remains blank .....tty's work though...n i have to close it using power button which sometimes cause data loss
[15:55] <guest-wOaf7e> minixvbox: yea, im here for like whole day and cant find the solution to repair this shit lol
[15:56] <_XMENDES> hy guys.. any method to wath netflix dyscovery?
[15:56] <minixvbox> !language | guest-wOaf7e
[15:56] <_XMENDES> watch*
[15:56] <usr13> killer_: How much RAM do you have?
[15:56] <minixvbox> _XMENDES: netflix uses silverlight so no
[15:56] <killer_> 2 gb :usr13
[15:56] <usr13> killer_: How large is your swap partition?
[15:56] <_XMENDES> and using virtual machine?
[15:56] <killer_> 3.6 gb swap :usr13
[15:57] <usr13> killer_: Ok.
[15:57] <dr_willis> netflix on windows in vbox works
[15:57] <_XMENDES> i read on web, about android vm.
[15:57] <killer_> i have set do nothin on lid close :usr13
[15:57] <dr_willis> easier to go get a roku
[15:57] <minixvbox> _XMENDES: sure, but a whole windows vm just for netflix sounds overkill
[15:57] <zak_> what mplayer command shall i use to extract a 356kbps mp3 file  from an .mp4 video ?
[15:57] <bane_> Hi, there, can ny one tell me a good downloader for ubnutu
[15:57] <_XMENDES> yep :/
[15:57] <bane_> something on the lines of IDM for windows?
[15:57] <usr13> killer_: If you do Ctrl-F6 and then Ctrl-F7  does it recover?
[15:58] <leaftwig> How do I play 3 sound files continually simultaneously?
[15:58] <_XMENDES> the android VM works on netflix?
[15:58] <zykotick9> zak_: you can use mplayer to dump to WAV (then encode the WAV) with "mplayer -vo null -ao pcm foo"
[15:58] <usr13> leaftwig: with ______________ ?
[15:58] <usr13> leaftwig: play file1 file2 file3
[15:58] <Queops> tomreyn: no luck understanding it as well?
[15:58] <usr13> leaftwig: or:  mplayer file1 file2 file3
[15:58] <_XMENDES> anyone did test this ?
[15:59] <usr13> leaftwig: Oh, you want to play them at the same time?
[15:59] <tomreyn> Queops: i'm getting sidetracked, sorry
[15:59] <usr13> _XMENDES: What?
[15:59] <dr_willis> _XMENDES:  vbox + winxp works.  no idea on android.  i would doubt it
[16:00] <leaftwig> uh huh :3
[16:00] <_XMENDES> on wine it works???
[16:00] <leaftwig> can i open multiple terminals and set sox to repeat and continually play my favorite noises? :D :D :D
[16:00] <bane_> any IDM equivalent for ubuntu?
[16:00] <_XMENDES> i gonna try on wine
[16:00] <Queops> tomreyn: basically what i understand so far is that dovecot.conf still exists but so do other 16 other config files lol
[16:00] <akis> hi all. how can i restore message and sound indicator in my panel?
[16:00] <dr_willis> _XMENDES:  netflix in wine is a no..
[16:00] <theadmin> bane_: gwget, jdownloader, kget
[16:01] <_XMENDES> :/
[16:01] <_XMENDES> netflix gonna loose a lot users because this issue.
[16:01] <theadmin> _XMENDES: It's not their issue... They're not "losing" any users, their users never used Linux in the first place.
[16:02] <dr_willis> _XMENDES:  they havent so far....
[16:02] <usr13> _XMENDES: They never had me....
[16:02] <akis> i find. its indicator lugin.
[16:02] <dr_willis> if i want netflix, i fire up my boxeebox, or the roku
[16:02] <aaa801> I converted my root partition to btrfs and now i get error mounting / on boot, when droping to the recovery shell /dev/sda1 (the btrfs) partition is mounted on / and is accessable
[16:02] <aaa801> Any ideas?
[16:02] <_XMENDES> i dont understand.. my wdtv live use unix OS. and works.
[16:02] <tomreyn> Queops: please post the output of the command where it reported that, as well as your current dovecot.conf to a !pastebin
[16:02] <killer_> what does ctrl-f6 do ..?
[16:03] <bane_> any one can help me??
[16:03] <bazhang> bane_, with what
[16:03] <dr_willis> _XMENDES:  the port specific clients.
[16:03] <Queops> tomreyn: sure thing sec
[16:03] <dr_willis> they port..
[16:03] <Queops> !pastebin
[16:04] <theadmin> aaa801: Your filesystem in /etc/fstab may be misspecified.
[16:04] <skorasaurus> hi, I have an acer aspire 5560, w/ amd radeon 6520g gfx card. I currently have ffglrx installed but my system is often sluggish. How can I speed it up (besides a new gfx card, natch) ?
[16:04] <aaa801> theadmin: Nope its specified correctly
[16:04] <dr_willis> skorasaurus: depeds on what you do with it
[16:04] <Queops> tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1218912/
[16:04] <econdudeawesome> Howdy all. Having a hard time installing matlab student version on ubuntu 12.04. Anyone know of a good writeup on why xsetup fails?
[16:05] <killer_> do u mean ctrl-alt-f7:usr13?
[16:05] <theadmin> aaa801: Hm, okay then, not entirely sure what else
[16:05] <rgenito> is there anyway i can make Ubuntu recognize that shift+space should also be treated as a space?
[16:05] <aaa801> theadmin: looks ok? UUID=fcdab42f-6d80-44b0-a38d-53ef6f38d811 /	btrfs	errors=remount-ro	0	1
[16:05] <rgenito> its kind of annoying with my style of typing -_-
[16:06] <theadmin> aaa801: Looks fine
[16:06] <skorasaurus> dr_willis: It's often sluggish, when I have multiple windows open in firefox or generally using apps like qgis or gimp. I don't game.
[16:06] <dr_willis> skorasaurus:  more ram, and a ssd hd = big gains
[16:07] <skorasaurus> it's a newer system and I don't think it's configured correctly, given that it has 4gb of ram, quad-core amd processor.
[16:08] <dr_willis> ssd helped my 8gb  pc greatly
[16:08] <rgenito> 8gb ram?
[16:08] <dr_willis> yes
[16:08] <rgenito> dude, ssd's are the shit
[16:08] <ElixirVitae> Hi~
[16:08] <bazhang> rgenito, no cursing here
[16:08] <ElixirVitae> Is there a lirc tutorial for 12.04
[16:08] <dr_willis> ssd = 10 sec boot for a $100 investmenttt
[16:09] <rgenito> i just got a vizio ultrabook. freakin super sweet. almost as sweet as a macbook air
[16:09] <compdoc> skorasaurus, you using the proprietary video driver?
[16:09] <ElixirVitae> Infrared remote control program I got from software center keeps crashing
[16:09] <rgenito> bazhang, my bad...keep forgettin :(
[16:09] <dr_willis> rgenito:  less $$$ i bet
[16:09] <tomreyn> Queops: thanks. looks like this how-to wasn't really written for 12.04 but an older release. you should find the relevant configuration section in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-auth.conf
[16:09] <rgenito> dr_willis, yup, i think $400 less
[16:10] <Queops> tomreyn: was exactly my thoughts, that was the first file i checked, there is however nothing similar
[16:10] <rgenito> for ~4 more hours  less battery life and a HORRIBLE track pad... i'll take the $400 price cut :)
[16:10] <skorasaurus> fglrx at the moment. 2:8.960-0ubuntu1.1
[16:10] <tomreyn> Queops: if it's not there either it should be in one of these files: /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-master.conf.ext /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-static.conf.ext /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-system.conf.ext
[16:10] <rgenito> the vizio's screen is 1600x900 too :D
[16:10] <skorasaurus> wondering if I should do fglrx-updates and if it will improve performance.
[16:11] <popsch> I have a backup every 30min with 600k files (hard links) on an encrypted external drive with an ext4 fs. Now deleting these takes a long time. Any ideas how I can speed up the clean up (=deleting) process?
[16:11] <Queops> tomreyn: is it possible that the guide for 12.10 is being made as we speak and we can take a peek at the "beta" documentation, maybe it changed?
[16:11] <rgenito> and it's running ubuntu. pretty happy with it so far even though the linux world always manages to have 1 pain to get over
[16:11] <gordonjcp> rgenito: that's true of all OSes ;-)
[16:12] <Brent> Anyone running photoshop in virtualbox? Do you see any performance hickups?
[16:12] <Queops> tomreyn: sadly it's nowhere on those :\
[16:12] <OerHeks> Brent photoshop in wine is sad
[16:12] <rgenito> gordonjcp, nah, i'd say it's not true for OSX:)
[16:12] <compdoc> skorasaurus, many things can slow a pc, like hard drive and the amount of ram, and the speed of the cpu. But video drivers on linux are still often weak. Turn off that driver and use the default Ubuntu drivers. Thats the only driver I use on my servers.
[16:12] <aaa801> MHm its not letting me remount the drive as rw, keeps spiting out that / isnt mounted even though i can view it
[16:13] <Brent> OerHeks yeah I tried that route and wasnt satisfied either
[16:13] <tomreyn> Queops: ok, give me 5 minutes, then i'll take a proper look for you. just finishing my pizza :-)
[16:13] <Queops> tomreyn: no worries, it's either that or me researching about the socket listen thing
[16:13] <akis> dolhpin has the option to open zip archives as folders. ubuntu's file manager has the option? is there any other option to get this feature without using dolphin under gnome?
[16:14] <xibalba> .
[16:14] <roger_padactor> hello, I've been having trouble with my ubuntu ssh server connections. so i looked at its dns and its set to name server  <IP_ADDRESS> and another one my router provides… So I changed <IP_ADDRESS> to my router <IP_ADDRESS> and added <IP_ADDRESS> for good measure. but I still get the hang ups.  Its so random
[16:14] <Brent> I currently dual boot just for Photoshop but thinking about going VB so I dont need to restart
[16:14] <aaa801> mount -o remount,rw / returns "/ not mounted or bad option"
[16:14] <skorasaurus> i had the default drivers installed earlier, unfortunately, and my system was as sluggish then.
[16:14] <akis> ubuntu's file manager=natilius
[16:15] <bluegenes> hi
[16:16] <skorasaurus> so i tried to install fglrx to see if it would improve performance, it did, although marginally.
[16:16] <bluegenes> how can I get "connect to a server" to open the connection in the file manager window and not chromium?
[16:17] <compdoc> skorasaurus, do you think its the video perfomance? Or is it how fast programs open
[16:17] <m4rku5> is there any way I can install 12.10 beta if X won't come up (graphics driver is broken unitl 3.6-rc6)?
[16:18] <ohzie> unless: what
[16:18] <skorasaurus> compdoc: I'm trying to determine that.
[16:18] <skorasaurus> It is a bit of both.
[16:18] <zykotick9> m4rku5: reask in #ubuntu+1
[16:18] <compdoc> skorasaurus, open the disk utility. you can read-benchmark the drive
[16:19] <compdoc> skorasaurus, and check the drive's heatlh while youre there
[16:20] <skorasaurus> avg read rate, 55 mb/s, access time, 17mb/s
[16:20] <bluegenes> anyone?
[16:20] <skorasaurus> access, 17ms*
[16:21] <compdoc> thats decent. not horrible
[16:21] <bekks> Which tools produces these values?
[16:21] <bekks> -s
[16:22] <compdoc> mine shows 90.8 Mb/s average, but its a new drive
[16:22] <skorasaurus> bluegenes: have you checked chromium preferences ?
[16:22] <skorasaurus> mine is only 5400rpm.
[16:22] <compdoc> I think this one is too
[16:22] <bekks> skorasaurus: Which tool gives you these values?
[16:22] <compdoc> access 17.8
[16:22] <skorasaurus> bekks: sorry, disk utility.
[16:22] <Ihsan_> Hello, I need some help (with something that you will find stupid, maybe) but, when I slow down audio with FN+F11 key or make it higher with FN+12, or adjusting brightness screen, I normally got nice utility that showed the percentage of the audio that was right on the top, but now it has changed, its on the bottom and its ugly and pixelated. Does someone know do I have to enable something? i would really apreaciate
[16:23] <bekks> Better use some more reliable tool like hdparm.
[16:23] <bekks> and/or smartctl.
[16:23] <skorasaurus> fwiw, i have 2 firefox windows open with 12-15 tabs each.
[16:23] <skorasaurus> too.
[16:23] <compdoc> bekks, its reliable enough for a quick test
[16:23] <savio> i'm using DC++ client and my isp put limit of 2gb download per session after downloading 2gb my connection drop and to reconnect it i need to restart network-manager what should i do? http://askubuntu.com/questions/71528/make-network-manager-restart-after-dropped-connection script in this url is safe
[16:23] <dr_willis> why doo you need 15 tabs open at a time....
[16:24] <bluegenes> skorasaurus, i mean, how do I get Ubuntu to open an ftp in a normal window and not Chromium
[16:24] <compdoc> skorasaurus, thats a lot of tabs
[16:24] <bluegenes> skorasaurus, that wouldn't be in chromium settings, would it?
[16:24] <dr_willis> sounds like you need moar ram, and rethink your work habbits
[16:24] <skorasaurus> honestly, just all of the threads I've been reading in askubuntu based on this.
[16:24] <daviddoria> I installed the gcc-4.7-base package, but g++ --version still says 4.6. Do I have to uninstall the 4.6 package?
[16:24] <skorasaurus> dr_willis: good to know.
[16:24] <compdoc> skorasaurus, how much ram?
[16:25] <bekks> daviddoria: Because you need to install the g++ package
[16:25] <daviddoria> bekks, the g++ package looks like only 4.6?
[16:27] <bekks> daviddoria: Thats correct so far.
[16:28] <skorasaurus> 4gb, ddr3. I have this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215371
[16:28] <daviddoria> bekks, and "sudo apt-get install g++-4.7" doesn't work (couldn't find any package)
[16:28] <tomreyn> Queops: the documentation on the wiki page you pointed me to is for dovecot 1.x, but dovecot 2.x is in ubuntu 12.04 and later, and the configuration has changes quite a bit there. I suggest you use this one instead: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixAndDovecotSASL
[16:28] <Queops> tomreyn: so for that particular step
[16:29] <Queops> tomreyn: I go into the 10-master and add that?
[16:29] <Queops> as per dovecot wiki
[16:29] <kodak> How do i firstly, enable SLI for nvidia drivers and secondly, make sure its actually on?
[16:30] <tomreyn> Queops: exactly
[16:30] <Queops> tomreyn: Thank you, I will try it
[16:31] <skorasaurus> given this setup that I mentioned, are there other benchmark and assessment tools to see if my system is not optimized ?
[16:31] <kodak> i tried nvidia-xconfig --sli=on, but  it still looks like sli is not on
[16:31] <tomreyn> Queops: note that i have not checked whether the modifications to postfix' configuration you may already have made by now are in line with those modifications to postfix' configuration discussed on the web page i just pointed you to.
[16:31] <bekks> daviddoria: According to packages.ubuntu.com there is no 4.7 for g++
[16:31] <rgenito> ok question!
[16:32] <rgenito> can anyone else here input a "space" by pressing the space bar + shift at the same time?
[16:32] <Out`Of`Control> Hi all i have ubuntu 13 running
[16:33] <bazhang> Out`Of`Control, perhaps you mean 12.04
[16:33] <Queops> tomreyn: this is a fresh postfix install I was just simply following the guide
[16:33] <Out`Of`Control> bazhang:  no 13
[16:33] <bazhang> Out`Of`Control, there is no such thing
[16:33] <Out`Of`Control> bazhang:  on startup i see Ubuntu 13
[16:34] <bazhang> !version | Out`Of`Control
[16:34] <dr_willis> time to clean your glasses
[16:34] <bazhang> provide us with that Out`Of`Control
[16:34] <Out`Of`Control> bazhang:  its linuxMint 13 i wonder what happen that i see Ubuntu 13 after some kernel updates
[16:34] <bazhang> Out`Of`Control, mint is NOT supported here
[16:35] <bazhang> !mintsupport | Out`Of`Control
[16:35] <dr_willis> version number is year/month of release fpr ubuntu
[16:35] <tomreyn> Queops: ok, i'm just saying you may need to roll back your changes to main.cf to be sure you still have the default configuration before you start making changes to it as the new instructions i pointed you to suggests.
[16:35] <Queops> tomreyn: oh yes, ill be alert, cheers
[16:36] <Out`Of`Control> bazhang:  so why i see Ubuntu 13?
[16:36] <tomreyn> Queops: on a side note there is also #ubuntu-server where you may  have more luck getting feedback on server related questions (for the future)
[16:36] <bazhang> Out`Of`Control, its mint. it's not supported here
[16:36] <Queops> tomreyn: yeh I went there first
[16:36] <OerHeks> Out`Of`Control, ask in mint, it is a mint issue :-D
[16:36] <IBH> Hello,  Question 1: I got 2 questions.

[16:38] <OerHeks> IBH, there is a #bumblebee channel here on freenode too, those guys are up2date
[16:38] <Queops> tomreyn: you were right, the sasl_path is auth now and not auth-client, i hope thats the only issue haha
[16:39] <nhocht> how do format usb was write protect? help me!
[16:39] <dr_willis> un-write protect it nhocht  then use gparted is one way
[16:41] <kodak> i have googled around, and it seems the way to activate SLI for nvidia cards is nvidia-xconfig --sli=on, but that doesnt seem to work, wat do?
[16:42] <dr_willis> kodak:  you did restart the x server after using that command?
[16:42] <kodak> aye, i logged out(which is enough, right?)
[16:42] <joancreus> hmm i need help. something really weird is happening. i'm writing from a recent box which has an intel i5 cpu, pretty good afaik. ubuntu 12.04. The CPU usage is really really high and often the computer crashes and restarts. Be it firefox, git cloning and resolving deltas... even when i use cpulimit it crasbes. the weirdest thing is, a 2002 box w/ a centrino & ubuntu 12.04 has no problem...
[16:42] <dr_willis> no....
[16:42] <joancreus> ...doing the same tasks. what is happening?!
[16:42] <kodak> doh
[16:43] <dr_willis> sudo service lightdm restart
[16:43] <nhocht> how do format usb was write protect? help me!
[16:43] <dr_willis> un-write protect it nhocht  then use gparted is one way
[16:43] <kodak> ah, thanks dr_jesus
[16:43] <kodak> oops, dr_willis
[16:43] <bazhang> nhocht, you've gotten the answer several times. please stop repeating
[16:43] <ElixirVitae> Is there a lirc tutorial for 12.04
[16:43] <h00k> joancreus: I'd start be doing a memory test to make sure your hardware is okay
[16:44] <h00k> joancreus: the next thing I'd look at is your hard drive to make sure it isn't failing
[16:44] <joancreus> yeah, i think it must be hardware
[16:44] <joancreus> memtest?
[16:44] <h00k> joancreus: yep
[16:46] <joancreus> ok, bye, memtest needs live cd booting
[16:47] <joancreus> h00k: no way to run it w/o livecd, right?
[16:47] <h00k> joancreus: yeah, you need to either run it from a liveCD or from your grub menu
[16:47] <joancreus> ok
[16:47] <h00k> joancreus: hold left shift when you power on, it'll be at the bottom of your options there
[16:47] <joancreus> bye
[16:47] <joancreus> thanks for everything!
[16:48] <h00k> joancreus: good luck, let us know!
[16:48] <h00k> bah.
[16:48] <kodak> damn, sli is still not activated, are there other commands i should run with nvidia-xconfig --sli=on?
[16:49] <akis> which is the easiest way (if any) to move unity launcher down on 12.04?
[16:49] <dr_willis> how are you even testing if its on?
[16:49] <dr_willis> akis:  theres some unsupported hacks. check omgubuntu and webupd8 blog sites
[16:50] <kodak> dr_willis, i check the heat of the gpu's, if only one is hot, then i know AFR isnt on
[16:50] <patr|ck> hello, how can i stop rhythmbox from importing the entire ~/Music directory?
[16:50] <dr_willis> kodak:  dosent  check when?
[16:50] <dr_willis> oops. class.. bbl
[16:50] <akis> i googled enough and i found some of them. can i trust them?

[16:52] <patr|ck> djbenny, have you tried the "alternate install cd" and selected the install method for advanced/experienced users?
[16:52] <rjune> ok, so precise did away with the system tray. I'm trying to use blueproximity, the qui for which is pretty much only available via system tray.
[16:53] <rjune> How do I get the system tray back?

[16:54] <Ihsan_> Hello, I'm back with a new problem. :) Well, this is also very stupid, but when I entered my mouse settings, the mouse acceeleration and sensitivity were both on the lowest level, but I played with them a bit and didnt like the new result, so I put them both again on lowest, but my mouse is now feeling very weird, I cant concentrate on my mouse anymore. Is there a option to reset my mouse settings to default? Thanks
[16:54] <bazhang> djbenny, please provide a synopsis
[16:54] <tomreyn> Queops: yw
[16:54] <Queops> tomreyn: and yeh it's kinda sad that a LTS release documentation is oudated
[16:54] <djbenny> bazhang: ubuntu wont install, comes up with screen as shown in forum post
[16:56] <tomreyn> Queops: i'm sure some of the many hours which went into developing new features, would have been better spent on such basic things. But then they need to have new and shiny things they can present so as to make money.
[16:57] <Queops> tomreyn: ye, if it wasn't for the awesome documentation of some software projects I would be doomed
[16:58] <Queops> Can't go into the source code to check out stuff :P
[17:07] <dragonslay> i want to copy a certain range of blocks in hdd, is it possible to do that with dd if i have the starting block number?
[17:08] <TJ-> dragonslay: Yes. "sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=somefile.bin bs=512 count=34 skip=<logical-sector-offset>
[17:09] <TJ-> dragonslay: 'skip' is a multiplier of whatever 'bs' (blocksize) is. So is you're dealing with sectors of 512 bytes, bs=512 and 'skip' will be the sector offset from start of the device
[17:09] <TJ-> dragonslay: bs=512 skip=4 will start at device offset 2048 bytes
[17:10] <dragonslay> TJ-: 0x48B0A6D000 - this is the sector i want to reach.. how can i include that in command..
[17:10] <savio> anyone?
[17:10] <TJ-> dragonslay: You convert it to decimal :)
[17:10] <bazhang> savio, anyone what?
[17:10] <genii-around> There's an interesting article somewhere about how to use dd to copy subpartitions from within an image of the complete drive

[17:11] <savio> not yet
[17:11] <savio> do you have any other idea?
[17:11] <bazhang> savio, this is helping to bypass ISP regulations?

[17:12] <klpkt> I can't access the internet on my ubuntu machine. I am connected to the network, thanks to brobostigon at #ubuntu-uk, but I still can't access the network because "The DNS lookup failed"
[17:12] <klpkt> Can anyone help?
[17:13] <genii-around> klpkt: But you can ping machines on the internet at large by their IP directly?
[17:13] <savio> bazhang, in windows box when dc client get discconect it automatically reconnect
[17:14] <klpkt> genii-around: I tried pinging, but it says unknown host.
[17:14] <klpkt> genii-around: The browser says "Unable to resolve the server's DNS address.
[17:14] <TJ-> klpkt: At a terminal try this, tell us if you get a response: "ping <IP_ADDRESS>"
[17:14] <ubuntwoo> alright ive got a doozy... when I choose to "shutdown", ubuntu 12.04 closes my programs, goes black, then logs me off and sits me at the login screen. If I attempt to shut down from the login screen nothing happens
[17:15] <ubuntwoo> how can i diagnose this?
[17:15] <profiler1982> is it unity part of compiz. am think is not (bad eng) please response (ubuntu-rs)
[17:15] <genii-around> klpkt: If you do: ping -c9  <IP_ADDRESS>     does it find that IP? ( it belongs to Google)
[17:15] <dragonslay> TJ-: how do i convert that to decimal?
[17:15] <tomreyn> Queops: i don't think it's neccessarily needed to duplicate the configuration instructions those softwares' developers provide already. but it would be good to make them well available, and to offer guides on choosing the right mail stack.
[17:16] <TJ-> dragonslay: echo "ibase=16; print 48B0A6D000" | bc
[17:16] <klpkt> genii-around: Now it says that the network is unreachable.
[17:16] <Queops> tomreyn: yes I agree, with maybe some notes on ubuntu specific problems
[17:17] <Queops> tomreyn: but I guess not duplicate would defeat the point of these guides wouldnt it
[17:17] <Queops> tomreyn: maybe if the guides would be more of guidelines with external resources
[17:17] <tomreyn> Queops: providing outdated instructions pretty much does, too ;)
[17:19] <tomreyn> redhat has some good server guides, i can imagine they wanted to have something along those lines with their product name on it.
[17:19] <genii-around> klpkt: How is your computer supposed to connect to the internet? eg: internet->modem->computer  or internet->modem->switch/wifi->computer  or some other thing
[17:20] <dragonslay> TJ-: if i want to copy 500mb of data from that point, should i set count to 500mb?
[17:20] <TJ-> dragonslay: No. You should set it to 500MB / 512 (count is the number of 'bs' sized blocks to read
[17:20] <klpkt> genii-around: I don't know (And you're probably hear that a lot. I said it A Lot on the other channel)
[17:21] <CJKay> Hulp. Libreoffice doesn't work with Ubuntu's font

[17:22] <usr13> CJKay: What kind of file did you open?
[17:22] <CJKay> usr13: I didn't. The menus, the bars, everything is just boxes
[17:22] <usr13> CJKay: O

[17:23] <Icehawk78> I'm having an issue with compiz vastly inflating itself after I leave my computer running for a bit of time. I'm not 100% certain if it only happens when I lock my screen, but after using my computer for ~4-5 hours today on a fresh reboot, compiz is currently using 1.8 GB of ram
[17:24] <Queops> Woah
[17:24] <genii-around> klpkt: OK. So you must pay some company for internet access of some kind. They must have given you a gadget that would usually either connect to your phone line or to your television cable cord ( there are other kinds but these are the most common).  Do you know what the box they gave you connects to?
[17:24] <bazhang> Icehawk78, sounds like a regression (bug)
[17:24] <Icehawk78> I'm assuming it's either a bad plugin or something weird that I've configured, but I have no clue where to start looking for this.
[17:25] <CJKay> bazhang: That reply was meant for you, not klpkt. Sorry
[17:25] <bazhang> Icehawk78, you could test by disabling various plugins for a start
[17:25] <TJ-> dragonslay: no. You can't do calculations as part of the parameters to 'dd' . You have to work the values out in decimal, first, and use those directly
[17:25] <joancreus> h00k: i've (tried to) run memtest, but the computer crashed and couldn't complete (circa 60%)
[17:26] <joancreus> until that point, no errors i think
[17:26] <joancreus> what else can i do?
[17:26] <joancreus> thanks
[17:26] <TJ-> dragonslay: And remember -'skip' is the number of 512-byte sectors to miss, so make sure 'skip' is in sectors not bytes
[17:26] <Icehawk78> bazhang: One slight issue with that, is that it tends to take ~half a day or so to inflate (ie if I just lock my screen and then unlock it, it doesn't inflate, and it's not bloated from an initial --replace)
[17:26] <klpkt> genii-around: According to my parents, we have a broadband/ADSL/something...
[17:27] <bazhang> Icehawk78, so something related to screensaver/lock and compiz settings then, perhaps
[17:28] <dragonslay> TJ-: I've divided the decimal value of 48B0A6D000 by 512 to get skip=609768296 .
[17:28] <klpkt> genii-around: The router page/thingie says that it's Internet>router>computer.
