[17:48] <jetole> jusr: there isn't a standard terminal command for that. You can do it but not clealy.  It's disabled by default in ubuntu now but don't know how it applies to lubuntu
[17:50] <jetole> jusr: better idea
[17:50] <jusr> hmm, this is so much fun, linux. Been free of mcrsft for a week now.
[17:51] <monst> wNz pm when you have a minute
[17:51] <jetole> run: pidof ps -C Xorg -o pid --no-headers | tr '\n' ' ' | xarg kill -9
[17:51] <SolarisBoy> that kind of looked like mscruft
[17:51] <jetole> jusr: though that may need root
[17:51] <jusr> jusr: yea, this account is allowed no access to root or anything without logging off i think. trying for a secure system
[17:52] <SolarisBoy> *xargs
[17:52] <jetole> jusr: whatever your users name is run: pkill -9 user_name
[17:52] <jusr> will just reboot for now.
[17:52] <jusr> seems linux commands have some history in muds.
[17:52] <jetole> jusr: I don't know how secure this sounds if it can't exit the GUI. sounds more like a bug
[17:52] <TheGrey> o/ I have excrudingly slow wifi..please can you help me. I use the ath9k driver and my wireless wifi is AR928X...Everything was working, but I decided to change rc.local, by adding a line to it. I rebooted twice. There was slow wifi. I removed it and rebooted. The slowness is still there. Could the impact of adding the code to the rc.local, affected anuthing else? I've removed those lines, but still evyerhting is really slow. Code was: iwconfig wlan2 ra
[17:52] <TheGrey> te 54M
[17:52] <jusr> I played a text based video game for 19 years before trying linux.
[17:53] <jetole> jusr: I guess. I'm not a big gamer. I've had a few I've come across over the years that I liked but for the most part I don't play and kind of just didn't take to mus
[17:53] <ns-nazri> what the best software download video in internet e.g youtube
[17:53] <jusr> jetole: I deleted my logoff applet, need to logout/back in to restore it after the leafpad commands.  Was just trying to take the percise route rather than cheat with shut down power on.
[17:53] <jetole> * muds
[17:53] <jetole> jusr: 12:52 < jetole> jusr: whatever your users name is run: pkill -9 user_name
[17:54] <jusr> Thanks everyone!
[17:54] <jetole> jusr: wait
[17:54] <jetole> run: pkill -9 "$(id -nu)"
[17:55] <jetole> that should do it
[17:55] <ns-nazri> what the best software download video in internet e.g youtube
[17:55] <llutz> jetole: pkill kills processes, not users
[17:55] <jusr> pkill -9 $(username -nu)
[17:55] <jusr> correct?
[17:56] <jetole> np
[17:56] <jetole> * no
[17:56] <jetole> copy and paste what I did: pkill -9 "$(id -nu)"
[17:56] <fidel> ns-nazri: youtube-dl is nice
[17:56] <llutz> pkill -u $USER         if you really want that
[17:56] <fidel> ns-nazri: in general: there is "no-best" ;)
[17:56] <jetole> or what llutz did but which works 99.9% of the time
[17:56] <TheGrey> anyone? ;_;
[17:56] <ns-nazri> fidel : i install youtube-dl is not working
[17:57] <ns-nazri> fidel : how can run
[17:57] <jetole> ns-nazri: did you check the "lacking details in explanations" check box?
[17:57] <llutz> jetole: while "pkill -9 "$(id -nu)" never works until you have processes named like your user
[17:57] <fidel> ns-nazri: youtube-dl -t INSERT-YOUTUBE-URL-HERE
[17:57] <jetole> llutz: you're right
[17:57] <fidel> ns-nazri: its a cli-application
[17:57] <jusr> pkill didnt work.
[17:58] <jetole> jusr: llutz is right. run: pkill -9 -u "$(id -nu)"
[17:58] <jusr> Ok, I will ask how do I shut down my pc with LXTerminal
[17:58] <jetole> jusr: I forgot a option
[17:58] <defunkt> I am working in a high density wireless environment, is there any way we can tell our linux devices to prefer 5.8Ghz over 2.4Ghz?
[17:58] <zykotick9> jusr: do you have sudo?
[17:58] <fidel> jusr: without sudo again?
[17:58] <jetole> jusr: without root you press the power button but try what I just updated
[17:58] <ns-nazri> fidel : ok i test
[17:58] <jusr> didnt work
[17:58] <jetole> jusr: I forgot something on the first one I listed
[17:59] <jetole> did it give an error?
[17:59] <fidel> jusr: with sudo one way would be: sudo shutdown -h now
[17:59] <fidel> too late ;)
[17:59] <jetole> fidel: lol. Another one, kind of more 21st century is sudo poweroff
[17:59] <OerHeks> alt.gr + printscreen + K to hard logout
[17:59] <fidel> jetole: i love shutdown ;)
[18:00] <jetole> I remember the good ol' days of shutdown -r -n now but today I just use the reboot command
[18:00] <jusr> that worked
[18:00] <jetole> fidel: not enough. You're in IRC
[18:00] <jusr> Thank you!
[18:00] <jetole> jusr: which one?
[18:00] <fidel> jetole: but yeah there are several ways ...i know at least some of them and thats enough  for me ;)
[18:00] <jetole> jusr: what I said or what llutz said or what fidel said
[18:00] <malimbar> does someone know of a decent graphing app? so I could replace a calculator with my computer?
[18:00] <jusr> pkill -9 -u "$(id -nu)"
[18:01] <jetole> ah
[18:01] <jusr> Going to google what all that meant.
[18:01] <jetole> cool
[18:01] <jusr> Unless you can direct my to a very indepth command line resource for linux and LXTerminal?
[18:02] <fidel> malimbar: can you define graphing?
[18:02] <jetole> pkill kills a bunch of processes. -9 is a very hard kill type that the program can't catch and escape out of (forget specifically what the signal means but try man 7 signals if your curious. -u says which user and it can be a UID number or a user name. $() is the proper method of running a command inside another command in bash. We placed quotes around it. id -nu is the command to print your user name
[18:02] <malimbar> as in able to make 3d graphs, and solve math problems using them
[18:03] <squig> malimbar, its a computer :D its what it does
[18:03] <jetole> fidel: I think the term graphing calculator is a standard meaning a specific type of calc that both TI and HP are famous for producing. I remember it vaguely from math forever ago but not sure so don't quote me
[18:03] <jusr> -u to kill a user, -9 is the highest tier kill type? -nu to signify user as me?
[18:03] <fidel> malimbar: random apt-hit is: kalgebra - sounds like a kde-thing
[18:04] <malimbar> fidel: does it still integrate with ubuntu though? I don't mind having extra wasteful libraries right now
[18:04] <fidel> jetole: afain there are hp-simulators as well ...but never messed aroundwith them myself
[18:04] <fidel> *afaik*
[18:04]  * malimbar installing now
[18:05] <jusr>  can you explain the "$(id -nu)"
[18:05] <squig> if you dont mind spending money there are obviously the very powerful mathematics programs, eg mathematica
[18:05] <geryon66> jusr: id -nu   prints your user name
[18:05] <jetole> jusr: I just ran man 7 signal since I forgot what -9 means. I know I said man 7 signals but I was wrong.  The man page says "The signals SIGKILL and SIGSTOP cannot be caught, blocked, or ignored." meaning the apps you are killing cannot catch them and escape out of them
[18:06] <geryon66> jusr: The $() around it inserts the result into the other command.
[18:06] <zykotick9> jusr: the $() means run this as a command, and the command is "id -nu" which should return the username
[18:06] <jetole> fidel: yeah I don't care about the calc. gcalc is enough for me most the time and when it's not I either use bc or python
[18:07] <jetole> jusr: id -nu is a command, by placing it inside $() it means run this command place the results inside these quotes so the top command we are running, it only sees pkill -9 -u "jusr"
[18:07] <jetole> jusr: run id -nu from a terminal now
[18:07] <jetole> then run id without any quotes
[18:07] <jetole> er I meant without any options
[18:07] <geryon66> I'm using Lotus Notes on Precise (12.04.2). Locally everything works fine, but when I start Notes on a remote display through an ssh X11 tunnel, the window soon turns gray as if it is not responding, although everything else works fine. How can I turn that gray “shadow” off?
[18:09] <AwAk3e> Hello I was following a tutorial on a mailserver (iRedMail) and have since removed it as it isn't needed anymore, and removed the users it created doing so. However when I try run apache now I get "apache2: bad user name iredadmin". I tried changing User ${APACHE_RUN_USER} to User www-data as with the group but the error still persists. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance
[18:09] <jetole> geryon66: it sounds like one of too things, neither one has a solution. Either your remote display is waiting for the content to be sent. Remote displays take longer. This doesn't sound like the case though. It sounds like lotus notes may just not be designed to work like so
[18:10] <isaias> if ubuntu can be installed on a Nexus 7, a Nexus 10 wouldnt be much of a problem, would it?
[18:10] <malimbar> fidel: KAlgebra looks like exactly what I need! thanks.
[18:10] <xibalba> hey folks, i added the following to my /etc/fstab but it did not mount the NFS volume upon boot up. However when I logged in and ran 'sudo mount -a' it mounted just fine, any thoughts? <IP_ADDRESS>:/mnt/stor01/zcs-hsm   /opt/zimbra/hsm        nfs     ro      0       0
[18:10] <fidel> malimbar: good to hear ;)
[18:10] <jusr> jetole: what I took out of that was this. kill whattype user "command designating user"
[18:11] <geryon66> jetole: what exactly causes the window fading gray, is it Compiz?
[18:11] <fidel> malimbar: to be honest - i never used it - it was the result of a quick apt-cache search ;)
[18:11] <jetole> jusr: for the most part
[18:12] <jetole> geryon66: it could be. Or it could be lotus. or it could be something else. I would say eliminate all possibilities and worst case scenario, if it won't run over ssh then use vnc
[18:12] <jusr> jetole: command line is exactly like command line in a text based video game
[18:12] <jetole> geryon66: run: grep -riIl "iredadmin" /etc/apache2/
[18:13] <geryon66> jetole: The interesting thing is, it runs just fine, only with that gray overlay on it.
[18:13] <jetole> geryon66: that will tell you which files contain the line the line iredadmin
[18:13] <xibalba> anyone, on mounting NFS volumes at boot?
[18:13] <jetole> oops
[18:13] <jusr> dash eee @target bash.  You move east three spaces at -9, you bash @target.
[18:13] <jetole> geryon66: wrong person
[18:13] <jetole> AwAk3e: run: grep -riIl "iredadmin" /etc/apache2/
[18:13] <jetole> AwAk3e: that will tell you which files contain the line the line iredadmin
[18:13] <fidel> jusr: in case you are new to linux and willing to test a lot of stuff without having fear wrecking it - take a look at virtualbox. having a virtual playground really helps at the beginning ;)
[18:14] <jusr> Thats what we are doing in class.
[18:14] <jusr> Can I virtual box a version of linux, in linux?
[18:14] <jusr> I was virtual boxing centos using microshut.
[18:14] <fidel> jusr: yep
[18:14] <jusr> Using a eeepc by the way
[18:15] <AwAk3e> jetole: These two files are found /etc/apache2/conf.d/iredadmin.conf
[18:15] <AwAk3e> /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl, however I'm not using the default-ssl configuration. Is apache2 using iredadmin.conf by default?
[18:15] <llutz> AwAk3e: if it is is  /etc/apache2/conf.d/ it will use it
[18:15] <xibalba> too much chatter
[18:15] <jetole> AwAk3e: by default, if I'm not mistaken, apache uses everything in conf.d
[18:16] <AwAk3e> That seems to be the only conf file in there besides roundcubemail.conf which I installed when following the tutorial for iRedMail
[18:17] <jusr> oops
[18:17] <apg> ping sentabi
[18:17] <jusr> Can I ask more questions here or should I find a more newbie channel?
[18:17] <fidel> !ask | jusr

[18:18] <jusr> Gotcha. Thank you.
[18:19] <jusr> I know how to use windows to take a disk image of lubuntu and a usb.. so I can boot/install from that usb.  What program does the same thing for ubuntu?
[18:21] <fidel> jusr: in case of virtualbox - just use the .iso itself.
[18:21] <jhutchins_wk> jusr: cat or dd.
[18:21] <jhutchins_wk> jusr: cat <imagefile> /dev/sdX
[18:21] <jhutchins_wk> jusr: cat <imagefile> > /dev/sdX
[18:22] <zykotick9> jhutchins_wk: that does become a slight issue for ubuntu users, as sudo can't deal with the >.  thus "sudo -i" followed by command is required...
[18:22] <jetole> jusr: for the record, this pretty much is aa newbie channel
[18:23] <jhutchins_wk> zykotick9: Can you quote it?
[18:23] <jetole> jusr: and if it wasn't, IRC etiquette says if no one tells you to shut up then keep talking
[18:23] <zykotick9> jhutchins_wk: i don't think so.  sudo doesn't like redirects, thus tee is used for text files...
[18:23] <jusr> started Irc in 96, been afk for 10 years.
[18:23] <AwAk3e> Ah well I managed to fix it by running the script here http://www.iredmail.org/forum/topic333-iredmail-support-faq-how-to-uninstall-iredmail.html thank you guys for the help. It was much appreciated!
[18:23] <llutz> jhutchins_wk: sudo sh -c 'cat foo > bar'
[18:23] <jetole> jusr: how was jail?
[18:24] <zykotick9> llutz: nice
[18:24] <jusr> lol, wana go there?
[18:24] <jetole> not today. Ask me tomorrow
[18:24] <jetole> trying to think of any other reason a person would be afk for 10 years and nothing comes to mind so, how was it?
[18:24] <jetole> jusr: have fun?

[18:31] <Catbuntu> Hi.
[18:31] <Catbuntu> When is Ubuntu 12.04.2 released?
[18:35] <GeekSquid> Catbuntu: 12.04.1 was kinda a service update for the installer, to improve it, and while other releases have had .2 .3 and .4, 12.04 will probably stay at .1 .... although it is still updated regurlarly
[18:35] <asd123asdqwe> Hello! Can I create something like shortcut in Ubuntu. It should start terminal with command.
[18:35] <Catbuntu> No.
[18:35] <Catbuntu> 12.04.2 was scheduled for 2013-01-31.
[18:35] <Catbuntu> I think they delayed it until today...
[18:36] <genii-around> waheedi: Maybe you want something about rc-sysinit there so it starts after apache/httpd is started
[18:36] <GeekSquid> Catbuntu: where did you see that?
[18:36] <geryon66> waheedi: What exactly is not working?
[18:36] <waheedi> geryon66:  it just keeps restarting
[18:36] <waheedi> without telling me anything and i tried running with strace nothing really looks wrong with it
[18:36] <Catbuntu> I don't remember.
[18:36] <asd123asdqwe> Now I run Terminal and copypaste command, can I automate it?
[18:36] <Catbuntu> Also, there's a daily build for 12.04.2.
[18:37] <waheedi> genii-around:  i think that's a good idea to start it after apache starts
[18:37] <geryon66> waheedi: Does it give any error messages in a log file?
[18:37] <waheedi> nothing at all geryon66
[18:37] <GeekSquid> Catbuntu: sounds bleeding edge to me, daily builds are testing builds and not considered stable
[18:37] <trism> Catbuntu: the images seem to be up already, probably have the official announcement in a bit: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/
[18:38] <asd123asdqwe> Guys?
[18:39] <GeekSquid> Catbuntu: I was wrong, they have uploaded new images today for the 12.04.2 release
[18:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> having a bit of issue mirrorring a site; was doing fine with wget, the java app in the page worked totally. started with httrack and now can't get the app to work
[18:41] <ntzrmtthihu777> Sazpaimon: of sonicculT fame?
[18:41] <Sazpaimon> How would I install ubuntu on an EFI-based machine that has a single drive containing windows?
[18:41] <waheedi> geryon66:  how can i get any error message from this
[18:42] <Sazpaimon> I've read previously that grub2 will format the EFI system partition, wiping out the windows boot manager
[18:42] <compdoc> Sazpaimon, does the drive use a gpt partition type?
[18:42] <Sazpaimon> compdoc, yes
[18:42] <Catbuntu> Cool!
[18:42] <compdoc> Sazpaimon, should work - ubuntu can instal and boot from that
[18:42] <Guest30045> can someone help me with installing mupen64 plus?
[18:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> well the grub will load either ubuntu or windows at your choice
[18:42] <Sazpaimon> basically, sda has 3 partitions, a "recovery partition", Im assuming that's MS's reserved partition, an EFI system partition, and the OS partition, and unpartitioned space after that
[18:43] <Blinkiz> Hello. I have an delay in audio when playing videos. Does it exist a setting where I can delay audio in milliseconds? The problem is with all players, vlc, mplayer..
[18:43] <DuncanT1> Hi. I'm trying to run pbuilder on a machine behind a firewall, so I need to set http_proxy for all processes that start inside pbuilder... where can I set it please?
[18:43] <Sazpaimon> if I install ubuntu on that unpartitioned space, will grub2 and the windows boot loader coexist?
[18:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> ubuntu will install to the unp. space likely
[18:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> no, grub will take over
[18:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> windows what? xp, vista, seven?
[18:43] <Sazpaimon> 8
[18:43] <DuncanT1> (more accurately I'm using cowbuilder)
[18:43] <geryon66> waheedi: Have you looked in /var/log/upstart/varnish.log* ?
[18:44] <Sazpaimon> and remember the system is in EFI mode
[18:44] <GeekSquid> Blinkiz: VLC has a delay function... often with DIVX/XVID the video is encoded in a way that the audio will not line up
[18:44] <waheedi> geryon66:  yeah but actually it didn't create that file
[18:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> fail. no idea about 8, but shat I know of it is it should work.
[18:44] <Blinkiz> GeekSquid, ok, it does not exist a general setting in.. eeh.. pulseaudio or something?
[18:44] <waheedi> geryon66:  created it manually and it didn't report anything
[18:45] <geryon66> !anyone Guest30045
[18:45] <Sazpaimon> I assuming that if grub2 gets installed in the EFI system partition, it will add a chainloader entry to load up bootmgfw.efi
[18:45] <trism> DuncanT1: for pbuilder you can add: export http_proxy='url' to your ~/.pbuilderrc
[18:45] <geryon66> !anyone | Guest30045
[18:45] <Catbuntu> I use 12.04 (installed 12.04.1), should I reinstall 12.04.2?
[18:45] <Catbuntu> I mean, is a reinstallation need to have the 12.04.2 improvments?
[18:45] <waheedi> geryon66:  i think service is not recognizing that varnish got started so it keeps firing it
[18:45] <ntzrmtthihu777> it new version of precise released?
[18:46] <trism> Catbuntu: no, the images are really only so there are less updates for people who clean install 12.04, if you already have 12.04.1 you should just update
[18:46] <DuncanT1> trism: I have that set, pypi inside the pbuilder is still trying to connect to pypi.python.org:80 directly :-(
[18:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> gotcha
[18:46] <Catbuntu> Cool.
[18:46] <geryon66> waheedi: Yes, that service should not fork and exit; it should stay in the foreground for this to work.
[18:47] <Catbuntu> I use Gnome Shell because Unity is a bit slow on 12.04 and a very buggy on 12.10 (on my computer, of course)... Is it a bit improved on 12.04.2?
[18:47] <waheedi> so how can i make it working under service geryon66
[18:47] <trism> DuncanT1: hmm, not sure then. I know I use that to use apt-cacher-ng with pbuilder without issues
[18:48] <user__> Ola

[18:48] <DuncanT1> trism: Setting proxy entries in /var/cache/pbuilder/base-xxxx/etc/apt/apt.conf works for apt stuff, but pypi is causing me issues :-(
[18:48] <geryon66> waheedi: As I can see from the man page, I guess you should add -F to the command line
[18:49] <waheedi> capital F geryon66
[18:49] <geryon66> waheedi: exec varnishd -F -f /usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl -s malloc,2G -T <IP_ADDRESS>:2000 -a <IP_ADDRESS>:3000
[18:49] <ntzrmtthihu777> can someone help me get a working offline mirror of a canvasrider track?

[18:52] <Quest> how applications find duplicate files?
[18:52] <bean> Quest: what do you mean
[18:53] <Quest> bean,  how do they compare two files?
[18:53] <bean> Quest: probably using diff.
[18:53] <Quest> whats dif?
[18:54] <geryon66> !pt | user__
[18:54] <vitor> my ubuntu 12.04 dont shutdown, and now?
[18:55] <bean> Quest: a command line tool for finding the difference between files
[18:55] <bean> !diff
[18:55] <Pici> !info diffutils
[18:55] <bean> aww, man, nothing about diff.
[18:55] <bean> there we go
[18:55] <Quest> bean,  iam talking about the basics used by those tools
[18:55] <Quest> bean,  how it compares two files? checksums?
[18:56] <bean> Quest: diff will give a line by line difference
[18:56] <bean> Quest: this isn't really support related, and is a bit !offtopic
[18:56] <vitor> my ubuntu 4.12 not off, it returns to the login screen, what do I do?
[18:56] <Pici> Quest: check the manpage
[18:57] <vitor> ubuntu 12.04
[18:57] <JKL> i booted my ubuntu server without display attached. how i can enable display without reboot?
[18:57] <Quest> Pici,  man page does not tells the low level strategy
[18:57] <Quest> Pici, so the comparing software first reads all the file data, generates a checksum and then compares it?
[18:57] <GeekSquid> vitor: CTRL-ALT-F1 ... login... sudo shutdown now .... see what happens
[18:57] <Pici> Quest: its line by line.
[18:58] <Quest> Pici,  not by checksum?
[18:58] <vitor> ok
[18:58] <Pici> Quest: For diff?
[18:58] <trism> Quest: this is how diff works (at a high level): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_common_subsequence_problem
[19:00] <Quest> Pici,  trism  iam asking for any such app
[19:00] <Quest> like fslint
[19:00] <Quest> Pici, so the comparing software first reads all the file data, generates a checksum and then compares it? correct?
[19:02] <Pici> Quest: It depends on if you care about difference between the files or not.
[19:02] <bean> Quest: what are you attempting to accomplish?
[19:02] <Quest> bean,  understanding
[19:02] <bean> there are many ways of comparing files
[19:02] <Quest> Pici,  hm. the content. not file names
[19:02] <bean> this is a place for support, not teaching you about how diffutils works
[19:02] <Quest> bean,  i would take fslint benchmark then
[19:02] <Kireji> does anyone have a laptop they love that's running 12.10?  I'd like a top of the line model where everything works.  work's buying it, so price is not te first concern, support, reliability, performance are priority.  what laptops would people reccomend I look at?
[19:03] <Quest> Pici,  fslint
[19:03] <bean> Quest: http://fslint.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/FAQ tells you EXACTLY how they do it in #1
[19:04] <Quest> hm
[19:04] <Quest> Pici,  where can i read that what does a file has in it self? the content, headers, etc.?
[19:05] <bean> Quest: that message to Pici was incredibly confusing
[19:06] <krabador> help, i typed PATH=/folder:~/.bashrc to add adb shell on path, on root, and now , on root i haven't commands, but a adb shell working
[19:07] <bean> krabador: i would reopen your shell.
[19:07] <krabador> bean, great...
[19:07] <Pici> Quest: I need to take a call, sorry, can't answer further at this time.
[19:07] <bean> krabador: and then in your .bashrc add "export PATH=$PATH:/folder/"
[19:07] <bean> krabador: not sure where you got that path command
[19:07] <ntzrmtthihu777> can someone help me get a working offline mirror of a canvasrider track?
[19:07] <Quest> Pici,  thanks
[19:08] <bean> ntzrmtthihu777: that doesn't sound very ubuntu related
[19:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> tis, lol. I am using wget to do it, and #wget is more or less empty
[19:09] <bean> ntzrmtthihu777: with wget you just "wget http://url/
[19:09] <bean> "
[19:09] <syntroPi> krabador, in future do it like PATH="${PATH}:/folder/:~/.bashrc"   also note PATH is searched in sequence from beginning so first entry wins
[19:09] <ntzrmtthihu777> I ~had~ it working, but I switched tools (wget for httracker) and it don't quite work anymore
[19:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> bean: Yes, I am passable with wget, but seems I screwed up somewhere
[19:10] <krabador> syntroPi, now i reopen the terminal, it worked as ever, but i lost the adb command, the reason for the previous command
[19:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> the javascript is not loading right
[19:11] <syntroPi> krabador,btw colons are the separators in PATH variable
[19:12] <syntroPi> krabador, suffix the folder which contains adb binary to the path like export PATH="${PATH}:/parent/folder/to/adb"
[19:13] <krabador> syntroPi, on root and user are separate effects?
[19:13] <syntroPi> krabador, to make it persistent you can even add this in your ~/.bashrc file
[19:14] <krabador> oh, ok
[19:14] <syntroPi> yes ~ is $HOME
[19:16] <DMJC> Steam just launched a Linux games sale!
[19:16] <ntzrmtthihu777> :/
[19:20] <LenRockfoot> Hey!
[19:20] <LenRockfoot> I was trying to change my login screen on Ubuntu Studio to the same one as normal 12.04, but I didn't know what I was doing and screwed up.
[19:20] <Corey> It's a good thing you've got a robust backup policy in place and can restore from backups though!  A lot of people with insufficient experience and bad administrative habits would not be in such a good position.
[19:21] <LenRockfoot> Yeahh... :x
[19:21] <LenRockfoot> I hope I can fix it, all I did was use "sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -g unity-greeter".
[19:22] <ntzrmtthihu777> hmm, I should like to have the unity greeter back. that was nice, but unity in general >m<
[19:22] <LenRockfoot> And it didn't work anyway. Now, the machine will randomly close and GUI and switch to a black screen >.<
[19:23] <LenRockfoot> Earlier it wouldn't even let me log in, but I managed to switch the login manager to gdm (The gnome one?) using the tty1 thingy.
[19:23] <LenRockfoot> Does nayone know how to help me?
[19:24] <trism> LenRockfoot: can you pastebin /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ?
[19:24] <LenRockfoot> I don't know, I'll try, I have the laptop here.
[19:26] <LenRockfoot> Gnome wouldn't load... I'll reboot into the other one and try.
[19:26] <ntzrmtthihu777> damn I'm dying here
[19:27] <LenRockfoot> Why?
[19:28] <MoPac> I need help diagnosing a problem that is stopping me from logging in as my user.  At login, my screen flickers, shows the NVidia splash, then loops back to the login screen. Guest account not affected.
[19:28] <Halite> I would like to save some JS code into a file, what is the best program to do this
[19:28] <MoPac> I've tried removing all of my autostart scripts, reverting changes to my xorg.conf, and using the failsafe xorg.conf#
[19:28] <LenRockfoot> Ah...
[19:28] <MoPac> Behavior is always the same. Any other ideas?
[19:28] <LenRockfoot> I can't pastebin it, no DE will load.
[19:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> some bug running around, LenRockfoot
[19:29] <ntzrmtthihu777> you don't need a gui for that, LenRockfoot
[19:29] <trism> MoPac: ctrl+alt+f1, login as your user, rm ~/.Xauthority; sudo restart lightdm; ctrl+alt+f7, try to log in again
[19:29] <MoPac> trism: Problem: whenever I hit ctrl-alt-f1, my screen goes black, no prompt, no more input appears to have any effect. Have to hard-shutdown with physical button
[19:30] <MoPac> trism: But I can get to all of my files by running this same OS from usb
[19:30] <MoPac> trism: should I just remove the file ~/.Xauthority and then start the OS?
[19:30] <trism> MoPac: that would work as well, just check if .Xauthority in your home folder is owned by root, and if so delete it
[19:30] <sonOfRa> Why does the Ubuntu software center show "Buy" for steam and takes me to a site for ubuntu launchpad signon?
[19:31] <goodwin> I could not do apt-get update. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1653123/
[19:31] <trism> LenRockfoot: you can just look at it and type it up, it should only be a few lines
[19:31] <LenRockfoot> Oh, okay.
[19:31] <trism> LenRockfoot: mostly it just needs: [SeatDefaults] followed by greeter-session=unity-greeter
[19:31] <syntroPi> MoPac, also look in "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and "dmesg"
[19:32] <LenRockfoot> That's what it says.
[19:32] <trism> LenRockfoot: if that looks okay, make sure unity-greeter is properly installed, and if so then we'll need to look at the logs in /var/log/lightdm/ (lightdm.log first of all)
[19:32] <MoPac> trism: Thanks, trying now
[19:32] <MoPac> syntroPi: will try next
[19:32] <LenRockfoot> (How do you quit vi again?)
[19:32] <SinnyDaSquid> Ya dual boot is sucsess!
[19:32] <trism> LenRockfoot: though without pastebin it could be difficult to decipher
[19:32] <trism> LenRockfoot: :q
[19:32] <andrewaclt> Is there a list of games that steam for linux is capable of using?
[19:33] <MoPac> trism: Worked! Thanks very much.  I was stumped after I noticed there were no error messages in .xsession-errors
[19:33] <trism> LenRockfoot: if you have internet you could install pastebinit and use that to pastebin
[19:33] <ianharp> Hi guys, looking for help there with editing the reg. I'm installing Fl studio using wine, and had no probloms but i need to apply a "windows" reg edit (its a crack) any ideas about how i would go about it?
[19:33] <mandoguit> MoPac:  grub boot menu recovery option
[19:33] <MonkeyDust> ianharp  #winehq
[19:33] <ianharp> sound
[19:33] <trism> MoPac: yeah not sure it will make it far enough to get to .xsession-errors since it tries to write to .Xauthority but can't, so bails
[19:33] <LenRockfoot> I think that was the problem... It wasn't installed. I'll try it out now,.
[19:33] <MoPac> mandoguit: Thanks, but solved by deleting ~/.Xauthority then restarting
[19:34] <LenRockfoot> Should I restart or just ctrl+alt+F7
[19:34] <trism> LenRockfoot: do you have lightdm or gdm set up at the moment?
[19:34] <LenRockfoot> gdm
[19:34] <joshu> hey trism just thought I'd let you know that I exchanged the modem for another one E173 and it worked right away without any necessary hacks, configs =D i've been testing it for about an hour with VPN etc and it's working excellent!
[19:35] <trism> LenRockfoot: if it is still gdm: sudo stop gdm; sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm; sudo start lightdm;
[19:35] <trism> LenRockfoot:  then you should be able to ctrl+alt+f7 and try it out
[19:35] <trism> joshu: excellent!
[19:35] <syntroPi> sudo service gdm stop
[19:35] <JKL> is it possible to attach monitor after boot? i currently can control my ubuntu server with ssh but i would like to attach monitor to it without booting. is that possible? currently monitor does not show anything
[19:35] <joshu> trism thanks again for helping me out!
[19:36] <joshu> trism I learnt some useful things so it wasn't a complete waste ;)
[19:36] <trism> syntroPi: not really necessary, that's just a script that checks if the service uses upstart and then uses initctl otherwise runs the sysv script...since gdm uses upstart, stop works
[19:36] <MoPac> Second problem: I can't seem to mount a gigolo-gvfs directory in my /home folder in any way that programs can find. I want CrashPlan to back up to and from a file on a share (can be smb or FTP, FTP at the moment). But it can't see my /var/run.../gvfs folder or any symbolic links
[19:36] <MoPac> I'm using Nemo in case that matters
[19:36] <MoPac> gvfs-fuse is running
[19:36] <syntroPi> trism, oh didnt know that
[19:36] <MoPac> but there's nothing in ~/.gvfs
[19:37] <LenRockfoot> I tried to ctrl+alt+F7 but black screen, I'll reboot.
[19:37] <trism> LenRockfoot: yeah it might show up on f8 or higher depending if it can grab the vt or not
[19:37] <goodwin> anyone help why I could not do apt-get update? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1653123/
[19:38] <LenRockfoot> Didn't show at all.
[19:38] <MonkeyDust> goodwin  hardy is too old
[19:38] <syntroPi> JKL idk some GPUs may need to be initialized by bios at startup (detect screen connected)?
[19:38] <crazyharry> so I want to install Ubuntu on a USB drive, I formatted the drive and did this # sudo kvm -boot order=d /dev/sdb -cdrom ~/.cache/testdrive/iso/ubuntu_raring-desktop-i386.iso ....but its stuck inside the QEMU emulator...the installation making no progress
[19:38] <trism> joshu: no problem
[19:39] <goodwin> MonkeyDust: I don't know why it is hardy, I use 12.04
[19:39] <Weems> If .XAuthority is preventing me from logging in at the login screen how Do I rectify the situation (on xubuntu if that matters)
[19:39] <MoPac> goodwin: Looks like there's an issue with your verification of the sources of the update files
[19:39] <MonkeyDust> goodwin  remove the hardy sources, should solve it
[19:40] <LenRockfoot> Thanks trism! It works!
[19:41] <MonkeyDust> goodwin  system settings, software sources, other
[19:42] <goodwin> goodwin: how to remove it?
[19:42] <goodwin> MonkeyDust: how to remove it?

[19:45] <goodwin> MonkeyDust: I got system settings, but not software sources
[19:45] <crazyharry> can a startup disk install ubuntu in it ? using the ubuntu startup disk creator ?
[19:46] <goodwin> MonkeyDust: there is no software sources in system settings.
[19:46] <JKL> syntroPi: probably
[19:47] <jackjackw> hey guys, i'm trying to install wine1.5 on 12.10 - sudo apt-get install wine1.5 is telling me i hold broken packages, whatdo?
[19:48] <goodwin> MonkeyDust: why I could not resize system settings window?
[19:48] <opticnerpe> Hello #ubuntu, I am having a booting problem with LILO and Windows.  I am trying to understand this better.  I am getting the BOOTMGR is missing error when I try to boot into Windows from LILO.  I have configured lilo.conf to point to /dev/sdc1 which I verified is it has the "bootable" filesystem flag (not like that should matter), and I also mounted it and verified it contains bootmgr.exe.  Reference: http://pastebin.com/J7Bk1B3L
[19:49] <Weems> fixed it
[19:49] <Weems> user lost ownership of .ICEauthority for some reason
[19:49] <Weems> I don't know why but it seems to happen a lot under 12.10
[19:51] <goodwin> overflow
[19:51] <jackjackw> wine1.5 : Depends: wine1.5-i386 (= 1.5.23-0ubuntu1) but it is not installable <--- how do i fix this guys?
[19:55] <zykotick9> Weems: do you use sudo with gui apps sometimes?
[19:55] <opticnerpe> Nevermind, I know why it's not working.. I need to run /sbin/lilo so the lilo.conf changes go into effect
[19:56] <edve> Anyone knows much about squid proxy server ?
[19:58] <MonkeyDust> goodwin  what's the output of lsb_release -sd ?
[19:59] <MonkeyDust> edve  try #ubuntu-server
[20:00] <edve> Thanks MonkeyDust
[20:01] <goodwin> MonkeyDust: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
[20:03] <MonkeyDust> ah, 12.04
[20:03] <goodwin> MonkeyDust: any problem with that?
[20:04] <goodwin> ubuntu system settings sucks, cannot move cannot resize.
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> goodwin  no, but it's different, don't remember where or how to find it in 12.04 - got to go now, i'm sure someone else can help further
[20:04] <Lofde_> i have a command i need to run on boot for my lubuntu machine, where should i put it?
[20:04] <goodwin> MonkeyDust: thanks
[20:08] <Endafy> II have a problem, Wine 1.5 is installed but all my exe files default to "Open With Archive Manager"
[20:08] <Endafy> I cant tell it to open with Wine or Windows Program Loader by default
[20:09] <Endafy> anyone?
[20:10] <Endafy> this is seriously annoying can anyone help?
[20:10] <mandoguit> Endafy:    use your file manager / properties to make sure they are set to executable  maybe?   don't really know all the ins and outs of wine etc
[20:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> hmm
[20:10] <user____> whats the problem?
[20:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> right click on them, choose open with, set defaut to wine
[20:10] <Endafy> I cant set default to wine
[20:10] <Endafy> its not on the lsit
[20:10] <Endafy> list
[20:11] <Endafy> I wouldnt be asking in here if it were that easy
[20:11] <ntzrmtthihu777> check the properties tab, and you would be surprised how easy things are sometimes.
[20:12] <user____> what is it you are trying to open in wine?
[20:12] <Endafy> ntzrmtthihu777, hur I did
[20:13] <cviebrock> hey … I've got a weird issue.  From one of my Ubuntu boxes I can only ssh to a particular server if I include -oPreferredAuthentications=password
[20:13] <otak> Lofde_: crontab is good for that
[20:13] <cviebrock> otherwise, it doesn't prompt for a password
[20:13] <Endafy> whatever its like the blind leading the blind in here
[20:14] <ntzrmtthihu777> *shrug* wine shows up in both the properties/open with and the open with/other applications dialogue on my .exe
[20:14] <woozly> guys, how to setup sendmail for Ubuntu 12.04, If I just create server (I have no any domains, only clean server - Linode)
[20:15] <GermainZ_> Is there a way to open a window if I know its PID?
[20:15] <GermainZ_> its process' PID
[20:15] <jrib> GermainZ_: what does it mean to "open a window"?
[20:16] <jrib> woozly: you want sendmail specifically?
[20:16] <GermainZ_> I minimized something to the tray but the icon didn't show up. Running ps -A | grep process shows the PID. I was wondering if I can force open its window using the terminal
[20:16] <jrib> GermainZ_: maybe with wmctrl
[20:16] <woozly> jrib: I just can't understand what I need? I just create new linode server. Ubuntu 12. And just apt-get install sendmail
[20:16] <woozly> but when I try to send mail.. it freezes
[20:17] <jrib> woozly: well why do you want sendmail?
[20:17] <woozly> I need to set domain? or what
[20:17] <woozly> for php
[20:17] <woozly> python
[20:17] <woozly> and others
[20:17] <jrib> woozly: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/email-services.html I use exim personally
[20:17] <Inspiral> hey guys, i am running 10.04 lts. with the current maximum updateable version of php being 5.3.2. I need to upgrade to at least 5.3.3 what is the best way to do this, would it be compile through source, use a backport or upgrade the entire distro (I have websites running on this so i would like the most risk and hassle free solution)
[20:18] <ForSpareParts> Having trouble connecting to a WPA2 WEAP network under 12.10 -- it never accepts my credentials, but I know they're right (worked on my phone). Can someone advise?
[20:18] <jrib> Inspiral: have you considered just upgrading your ubuntu version to 12.04?
[20:18] <Inspiral> jrib: is that safe ?
[20:19] <woozly> jrib: okay.. thanks
[20:19] <jrib> Inspiral: well I wouldn't advise compiling php yourself unless you want to manage security upgrades yourself afterwards
[20:19] <GermainZ_> wmctrl didn't help, thanks for the suggestion tho.
[20:19] <jrib> GermainZ_: what happened when you tried?
[20:20] <Inspiral> if i wanted to upgrade to 12..04 am i likely to have some problems ?
[20:20] <GermainZ_> It doesn't show non active/minimized windows. Tried the -i switch and used the PID, got an error.
[20:20] <ForSpareParts> Inspiral: Upgrading will update a ton of software on your machine. It's a pretty stable process (though not entirely foolproof) but there is a chance that the upgraded software packages will break something once you're done.
[20:20] <jrib> Inspiral: read the release notes.  You /shouldn't/ have problems but this is software and software is not perfect so you need to be prepared with backups
[20:21] <Inspiral> figured as much, ok well i guess i have all night.
[20:21] <Inspiral> ill make a full backup of everything and then.....
[20:21] <Inspiral> :)
[20:23] <PhreakIT> Hello
[20:24] <PhreakIT> I have a small problem. When my laptop battery percentage says its 100%, I remove my power cord. After 5 seconds, it says it got 58%. How can that happen ?
[20:25] <jhutchins_wk> I take it scorch is now Atomic Cannon - but I wonder why it never made it to linux?
[20:25] <drmagoo> PhreakIT, make and model on the laptop and which version of Ubuntu are you using ?
[20:30] <PhreakIT> drmagoo: Dell Vostro 1450. Ubuntu 12.4
[20:30] <MoPac> Sorry for taking one more crack at this here today, but - is there a way to determine why gvfs-fuse is not placing links to my gvfs directories in ~/.gvfs, or a way to change the mount point altogether?
[20:30] <drmagoo> PhreakIT, how old is it ?
[20:30] <syntroPi> PhreakIT, maybe the percentage is based on voltage measurements of the battery (which could drop when psu disconnects). but idk how that is done in hw exactly...
[20:30] <PhreakIT> drmagoo: Not even an year.
[20:31] <PhreakIT> Well, If it let it charge by 100%. Close the lid. Open it again, it work normal the way it should. Confusing right?
[20:31] <drmagoo> PhreakIT, had a look at the hardware specs... The battery-monitor should report the correct value. Have you used it on battery any longer period ?
[20:32] <PhreakIT> drmagoo: I always let it drain up to 20% before I start charging again. When it reaches up 100%, I remove the power cord.
[20:33] <drmagoo> PhreakIT, how long time does it take to reach 20% and did you use it for anything special during that time ?
[20:35] <loxiw> hi
[20:35] <PhreakIT> drmagoo: Nope. Normal use. Nothing different. Just normal usage. Even when I close the lid and let it discharge from 100% the way it should, it still the normal usage.
[20:35] <PhreakIT> I don't think I'm doing anything different that will drain from 100% to 58% in a matter of 5 seconds tops.
[20:36] <loxiw> i have a newbie question, is that normal that http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?release=lts&bits=64&distro=desktop&status=zeroc gives me the amd64 even if I use intel?
[20:36] <loxiw> xd
[20:36] <Delux> just installed Ubuntu Server 12.04 - is fdisk still the best solution for setting u p partitions?
[20:36] <drmagoo> PhreakIT, but how long does it take for it to go from 58& to 20%
[20:37] <timoguin> Delux: fdisk is fine, especially if you already know how to use it.
[20:37] <timoguin> there's also cfdisk, and all the graphical ones
[20:37] <Delux> thanks
[20:38] <PhreakIT> drmagoo: about 1hr 25 mins.
[20:40] <otak> timoguin: Delux Isn't parted recommended now?
[20:40] <Delux> that's why i asked
[20:40] <drmagoo> PhreakIT, you dont have a diffrent battery to test with ? 38% for 1hr 25 min sounds about right. Might be an issues with the battery?
[20:40] <guntbert> loxiw: amd64 is not about intel vs. amd - 64bit products are often named amd64
[20:41] <PhreakIT> drmagoo: Charge to 100%. Close the lid. Open again. Its drains normally from 100% within about 3 hours. Not a battery problem right ?
[20:42] <drmagoo> PhreakIT, if you leave the lid open, the battery % is reported as normal? It only drops if you first close the lid ?
[20:44] <PhreakIT> drmagoo: Charge 100%. Remove the cord. It drops to 58% instantly and drains from there. Charge to 100%. Close the lid and open again, it starts to drain from 100% just like it should.
[20:45] <p5mith> quit
[20:45] <bekks> PhreakIT: Sounds like a broken battery :)
[20:45] <drmagoo> PhreakIT, That sounds really odd... ;) Im out of ideas then...
[20:48] <loxiw> guys pls
[20:48] <loxiw> ubuntu desktop 64bits is only for amd?
[20:48] <sonOfRa> no
[20:49] <Pici> loxiw: guntbert already answered you.  no. AMD64 refers to the name of the specification for 64 bit computers.  It will run on any 64bit desktop machine be it intel or AMD
[20:49] <timoguin> loxiw: the intel dual core processors are based on the amd64 architecture
[20:49] <loxiw> oh sry pici, didnt read you
[20:49] <loxiw> thx
[20:49] <loxiw> thx u too timoguin
[20:49] <loxiw> so a i5 wont have any trouble right?
[20:50] <Pici> loxiw: no issues
[20:50] <loxiw> oks
[20:57] <kingbeast> netsplit?
[20:57] <Pici> Just quiet.
[21:01] <wts> having a weird issue. i just got a new hard drive and im trying to download ubuntustudio.iso to a thumbdrive (current hard drive doesn't have enough space)  issue: several times i have selected the thumbdrive as the download location but it downloads to /home/$usr/Download instead and uses up whats left of my drive soace then errors out
[21:02] <ejv> wts: cd $PATH_YOU_WANT; wget <source>
[21:02] <ejv> next question!
[21:03] <ntzrmtthihu777> heeh
[21:03] <rndm> so I have patched libapache2-svn for an internal project. I'd like to distribute a binary deb internally. How do I tweak the debian/ metadata to distinguish my version from the repo version but still let it satisfy dependencies?
[21:03] <ntzrmtthihu777> ok ejv: any good at html and javascript?
[21:03] <ejv> ntzrmtthihu777: that's outside the scope of #ubuntu support ;)
[21:04] <ntzrmtthihu777> ;) well I'm doing it on an ubuntu machine
[21:04] <jrib> rndm: I increment the version and append ~jrib1
[21:04]  * ntzrmtthihu777 lols
[21:04] <ejv> ntzrmtthihu777: im sure there are channels on freenode which cater to web programming
[21:05] <ejv> s/programming/scripting/
[21:05] <ddk> ddk
[21:05] <rndm> jrib: i'll try that.
[21:05] <rndm> will that cause a problem with things that depend on this?
[21:05] <rndm> (if any)
[21:05] <ntzrmtthihu777> can you  do a check on the server for channels?
[21:06] <ejv> ntzrmtthihu777: /list does it for me, be ready for a massive flood of data; might be better to google search or try #web #html #foobar etc.
[21:06] <jrib> rndm: if there's a new version released from ubuntu though, it will take precedence over your package.  So you may want to look into pinning and you definitely want to make sure you repatch the new version (in case the new version has security updates).  Basically, you become responsible for making sure your package is kept maintained.  What did you patch by the way?  Is it something you could contribute
[21:06] <jrib> back?
[21:07] <ejv> in gentoo land it's called an overlay, in ubuntu land... i have no idea.
[21:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> true, shooting in da dark, eh ejv?
[21:08] <rndm> it's a hack that's specific to us (it determines the svn dav path based on hostname)
[21:08] <rndm> err the svn fs path
[21:08] <otak> ntzrmtthihu777: try /msg alis list *foo*
[21:08] <rndm> but we auto-update these machines
[21:08] <ejv> ntzrmtthihu777: #<language-here> format is pretty much a $STANDARD here on Freenode.
[21:08] <rndm> so that is potentially an issue
[21:09] <jrib> rndm: that's where pinning comes in
[21:09] <osirisx11> hi all, i recently reinstalled my video driver noveau, and now compiz is enabled. how do i completely disable compositing and compiz?
[21:09] <osirisx11> ubuntu 12.04
[21:09] <rndm> jrib: yeah i'll google that. thanks
[21:09] <jrib> !pinning | rndm
[21:10] <ejv> pinning eh? :)
[21:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> damn, I can't send to #html lol
[21:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> osirisx11: use unity-2d, I don' think that uses compiz
[21:10] <ejv> ntzrmtthihu777: why not?
[21:11] <osirisx11> i don't want to use unity ntzrmtthihu777, thanks
[21:11] <osirisx11> i want to use gnome classic
[21:11] <ntzrmtthihu777> :D me either, osirisx11
[21:11] <osirisx11> it was working a minute ago until i messed it up
[21:11] <ntzrmtthihu777> then use the fallback no-effects version, that's what I do
[21:11] <osirisx11> yes
[21:11] <osirisx11> ntzrmtthihu777: ok let me try
[21:11] <ntzrmtthihu777> dunno ejv, it just says can't send to channel
[21:12] <ejv> ntzrmtthihu777: works for me
[21:12] <ntzrmtthihu777> strange
[21:13] <ntzrmtthihu777> yeah, I see your test
[21:13] <ejv> ntzrmtthihu777: you may need to register your nick/alias possibly; give that a whirl
[21:14] <ntzrmtthihu777> ejv: too much of a pita right now, my net is too slow for anything bigger than irc in irssi
[21:14] <ejv> ntzrmtthihu777: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#registering
[21:14] <ejv> ntzrmtthihu777: good luck :)
[21:14] <ntzrmtthihu777> yeah, I know how to reg a nick, thanks
[21:16] <ntzrmtthihu777> and I just had this working too
[21:18] <jacklk> Hi, I keep getting lag spikes when gaming, I think it is down to my network adapter.. every couple of minutes it happens. My FPS is still high ... what could the problem be?
[21:20] <jacklk> my network card driver is installed correctly
[21:20] <unit3> hey, how long does it usually take for ppa.launchpad.net to update with new SSH keys added?
[21:21] <jpmh> I have a system - actually the one I am on now that dual boots ubuntu and lubuntu - under ubuntu the internal microphone works under lubuntu it does not, any ideas?
[21:22] <jrib> rndm: by the way, regarding that package version convention, that's just what I use and I don't remember where it came from.  If you want another opinion on it, you might try #ubuntu-packaging and #ubuntu-motu
[21:23] <yoritomo> いま、あなたは何をしますか？
[21:23] <Ben64> !jp | yoritomo
[21:23] <yoritomo> heu désolé je me suis trompé de chan
[21:24] <Ben64> yoritomo: this is english only, if you want to talk in japanese or french, please go elsewhere
[21:25] <yoritomo> yes sorry i mistaked the room
[21:25] <unit3> jpmh: could be a pulseaudio thing. if you install something for pulse audio control you should be able to manually select the mic, and that might work.
[21:26] <unit3> jpmh: I use pavucontrol under xubuntu for that purpose.
[21:27] <NetFlam> Hi all!
[21:28] <jpmh> unit3: I did install that and it show the mic - just does not actually work
[21:31] <jebb> Has any one been able to install steam on ubuntu? I keep running into a problem with the software center it says "package dependancys can not be resolved" then it crashes
[21:31] <Guest58709> I'm in kind of an off situation.  In an attempt to turn Ubuntu into kubuntu, I've messed up my luks encrypted disk.  I can mount my disks from the livecd (which I'm on).  How can I fix it from chrooting into my disk via terminal commands?
[21:32] <jrib> jebb: ubuntu version?
[21:32] <Guest58709> Ubuntu 12.10 x64
[21:32] <jebb> its
[21:33] <jebb> 12.10
[21:33] <jebb> x64
[21:35] <jebb> "steam64: Depends: steam (= <IP_ADDRESS>) but it is not going to be installed"
[21:35] <jrib> jebb: dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
[21:36] <jebb> k
[21:36] <jebb> done
[21:36] <jrib> jebb: output?
[21:36] <jebb> nothing
[21:37] <jebb> there was no output
[21:37] <jrib> jebb: I'm pretty sure steam requires multiarch unless something has changed recently.  Do you want to add i386 multiarch support and see?
[21:37] <jebb> Sure is there a downside to doing tihs?
[21:37] <jebb> this*
[21:38] <jrib> jebb: it's just added functionality (it allows you to run 32bit software on your 64bit os)
[21:38] <jebb> oh is it an apt-get command?
[21:38] <jrib> jebb: dpkg --add-architecture i386
[21:38] <jebb> do i need to sudo
[21:39] <jrib> jebb: yes
[21:39] <jebb> done, no output btw

[21:43] <Guest58709> tanveer, do you have the catalyst drivers installed?
[21:43] <tanveer> no Guest
[21:44] <tanveer> I want to get that but I dont know how
[21:44] <tanveer> its to confusing
[21:44] <jebb> haha very cool thanks man
[21:44] <SolarisBoy> 12.10 isn't LTS
[21:44] <Guest58709> ok.  Go to software sources
[21:44] <tanveer> where is software sources
[21:45] <Guest58709> search for it in the unity dash
[21:45] <tanveer> ok got it
[21:45] <tanveer> now what
[21:45] <Guest58709> go to the additional drivers tab
[21:45] <tanveer> ok now?
[21:45] <Guest58709> do you see anything that says AMD video drivers?
[21:45] <Guest58709> or something related?
[21:46] <tanveer> YES
[21:46] <tanveer> caps my bad
[21:46] <Guest58709> select that
[21:46] <tanveer> its already selected?
[21:46] <Guest58709> ok, lets try this.  open a terminal
[21:46] <tanveer> AMD [radeon HD 6800 series]
[21:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> hehe, ejv.
[21:47] <Guest58709> post the output of the command ->  lsmod | grep "fglrx"
[21:47] <tanveer> ok hold on 1 min
[21:49] <tanveer> fglrx: command not found
[21:50] <Guest58709> thats a | in between them
[21:50] <Guest58709> above the ender key
[21:50] <tanveer> i typed fglrx nothing happened
[21:51] <Guest58709> copy and paste this, without the quotes.  "lsmod | grep fglrx"
[21:51] <tanveer> ok i see
[21:51] <tanveer> lsmod | grep fglrx
[21:51] <Guest58709> yes
[21:51] <tanveer> it gives me nothing
[21:51] <tanveer> just goes to the next line
[21:52] <Guest58709> ok, so it appears that the fglrx driver isn't loaded
[21:52] <tanveer> oh
[21:52] <Guest58709> go back to the software sources drivers tab and tell me what the options are
[21:53] <tanveer> ok
[21:53] <LenRockfoot> Hey! (Again.)
[21:53] <tanveer> ubuntu softawre, othersoftwares, updates, authen, addi drivers
[21:53] <alexwaters> does anyone mind telling me why this init.d script isn't killing the process on service stop?
[21:53] <LenRockfoot> I'm not sure how I screwed up this time, but I can't log out of Ubunutu Studio. It just goes to a completely black screen.

[21:58] <alexwaters> MonkeyDust: thank you
[22:00] <Guest58709> tanveer, the radio button is selected for it right?
[22:00] <tanveer> yes
[22:01] <Guest58709> when you hit apply, does anything happen?
[22:01] <bond_> Does anybody here know about the frequency of ntpd utility to check for the time from a server?
[22:01] <tanveer> current "x.org opensource " driver
[22:01] <tanveer> is selected
[22:01] <tanveer> I have tried all 3 of them
[22:01] <Guest58709> even the post release updates?
[22:01] <olivier__> voila rien n'ai changé
[22:01] <tanveer> top one is opensource, 2nd is propriertay, and 3rd is updated and still no sound
[22:02] <tanveer> i have a youtube video running and waiting for sound to come out no results
[22:02] <Guest58709> have you tried to do it from the drivers on amd's support website?
[22:02] <tanveer> I dont know how to install AMD's latest 13.1 driver
[22:03] <Guest58709> it can be difficult if you've never done it before
[22:03] <tanveer> I read some guide and stuff but no progress
[22:03] <tanveer> its just to difficult
[22:04] <Guest58709> what card do you have?
[22:04] <azizLIGHTS> i did 'sudo shutdown now' via ssh onm the prompt, got the message that systm is going down for maintenance NOW. my sssh session wont respond now, and the computer is still on. what do i do
[22:04] <tanveer> AMD HD 6870 (XFX branding)
[22:05] <mgolisch> azizLIGHTS: does that command work when executed localy?
[22:06] <DarkKnightCZ> hi, after following this howto (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve#Installation_on_12.10_.28Quantal.29_64_bit), dash has trouble to start (there is only desktop, no close / minimize buttons)
[22:06] <mgolisch> maybe something is wrong with your acpi and it cant shut it off properly
[22:07] <azizLIGHTS> mgolisch: well i have no monitor, i have to ssh
[22:07] <azizLIGHTS> its headless
[22:08] <azizLIGHTS> it used to work before, then i put the machine into storage, came back 3 years later, and tried to shut it down and now it seems stuck. the machine is in front of my physically, the cdrom still opens
[22:09] <azizLIGHTS> what should i expect if i hold down the power button
[22:09] <azizLIGHTS> and force shut

[22:10] <LenRockfoot> How od I copy a folder to a folder that says "permission denied"?
[22:11] <queenabc> What's goiong on. Quick question, I need to install Win8, but I can't seem to format my HDD from EXt4 to NTFS. How can I go about doing this?
[22:11] <syntroPi> LenRockfoot, escalate perms
[22:11] <LenRockfoot> I... How?
[22:12] <syntroPi> eg "sudo su" and cp chmod chown
[22:12] <queenabc> Tried Disk utility, but can't format the disk that I'm using. Connected the drive as an external on my laptop but windows didn't recognize the HDD at all
[22:12] <mgolisch> queenabc: why dont you just use the installer?
[22:13] <mgolisch> at least the one in previous version was able to delete/create partitions or format them with a new filesystem
[22:13] <queenabc> Did, but when it came time to select the drive I wanted as my boot drive, the avil HDD was not formatted to NTFS
[22:13] <queenabc> Tried using the format option i the boot but was not highlightable
[22:13] <queenabc> So now I'm trying to format the drive internally
[22:14] <mgolisch> queenabc: is there anything on it you still need?
[22:14] <queenabc> syntroPi: Why would I try copying files?
[22:14] <queenabc> Nope
[22:14] <designbybeck> Is it just Ubuntu desktop that has the Shoping / Amazon stuff? Or does say Xubuntu and Ubuntu Server have things like that in there also?
[22:14] <queenabc> Backed up (only used this temporarily so nothing much)
[22:15] <queenabc> Not understanding the question. I installed the OS thru a LiveCD (Ubuntu 12.04
[22:15] <mgolisch> you could just overwrite the device file with some megabytes of /dev/urandom or /dev/zero
[22:15] <mgolisch> that should clear out the partition table
[22:15] <queenabc> Overwrite it from where though?
[22:15] <jusr> in LXTerminal, how do I do a full fat32 format?
[22:15] <mgolisch> queenabc: from within ubuntu?
[22:16] <queenabc> yes
[22:16] <otak> `
[22:16] <queenabc> Went to disk utility and tried formatting the drive, but can't format an actie drive, so that was pointless
[22:17] <mgolisch> is there only one disk connected?
[22:17] <queenabc> tried using the HDD exernally on laptop, but laptop (running win7home) couldnt read drive
[22:17] <queenabc> yes
[22:17] <queenabc> i have another external and a mini HDD that i could connect if I need to. but how would thhis get me to format the 1tb HDD
[22:18] <mgolisch> then you could try something like sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M count=10 or so be sure that /dev/sda is actualy the correct disk device if theres more than one connected
[22:18] <mgolisch> not that you kill something else unintended
[22:18] <queenabc> I just built the PC, I can assure it's the only drive connected
[22:18] <mgolisch> like a usb key or usb disk or such
[22:19] <queenabc> so run "sudo dd"?
[22:19] <StevenButt> Hello!
[22:19] <otak> ermm. why are you wiping 10 MB ?
[22:20] <syntroPi> queenabc, you want to purge your drive clean from previous ubuntu installation to instal win8 on it?
[22:20] <StevenButt> How do I copy a directory to a folder I don't have permissions to copy to? I am the admin, but don't want to use root.
[22:20] <queenabc> yes, sir
[22:20] <ejv> installing win 8, aka "downgrading" :)
[22:20]  * ejv ducks
[22:20] <mgolisch> it might not work if its gpt i think they save the partiton map on different possitions
[22:20] <mgolisch> if in doubt bott that thing from a gparted livecd and do it that way
[22:21] <queenabc> Yeah I want win8 on my pc, and ill use linux on my laptop (just to get used to it, new at it)
[22:21] <queenabc> so bot it using any Livecd?
[22:21] <syntroPi> queenabc, either you use the win8 installer to delete partition table or you boot from livecd and write with dd from /dev/zero to your /dev/sda or similar
[22:21] <queenabc> i have the ubutnu 12.04 and hiren's recovery livecds.. any these would work??
[22:22] <queenabc> syntroPi: that second part is where you're losing me. sorry.
[22:22] <Noorideen> :)
[22:22] <queenabc> the dd "converts and copies files" is this really what I'm looking for
[22:22] <DaemonicApathy> queenabc: /dev/zero is blank.
[22:22] <DaemonicApathy> So, if you copy <blank> to an entire drive...
[22:22] <queenabc> blank by default? or am I making it blank
[22:23] <queenabc> ohhhhhh
[22:23] <ntzrmtthihu777> by default
[22:23] <DaemonicApathy> Get it, queenabc? ;-)
[22:23] <queenabc> unrelated question: how do I stop these alerts from people joing.leaving the channel?
[22:23] <DaemonicApathy> That depends on the client.
[22:23] <ntzrmtthihu777> I just learned to grep a dd made image, can find deleted files thattaway
[22:23] <syntroPi> queenabc, you cant delete the disk you are running ubuntu from: so boot from a liceCD instead. then you open a terminal and "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M" to write zeroes to your first hdd (sda)
[22:24] <mgolisch> syntroPi: why not?
[22:24] <mgolisch> cleariung the partition map should be sufficient
[22:24] <Noorideen> when can i use this command " apropos remove "?
[22:24] <mgolisch> and iam quite sure that this works
[22:24] <queenabc> syntroPi: any liveCD?
[22:24] <ntzrmtthihu777> rm -r --no-preserve-root / will do it lol
[22:24] <DaemonicApathy> mgolisch: Ubuntu won't let you blank a mounted drive.
[22:24] <mgolisch> DaemonicApathy: realy?
[22:25] <DaemonicApathy> mgolisch: In my experience, yes.
[22:25] <queenabc> Apparently so. Tried. but probably tried incorrectly ofc
[22:25] <mgolisch> iam quite sure that dd doenst care for that
[22:25] <DaemonicApathy> *shrug*
[22:25] <mgolisch> yeah gparted probably wont do it because its smart
[22:25] <syntroPi> mgolisch, hmm maybe the first bytes (MBR, partition table)... but any further it will fail with fun :)
[22:25] <Noorideen> ntzrmtthihu777: ??
[22:25] <mgolisch> he doenst need the os anyhow so thats not a problem
[22:25] <ntzrmtthihu777> Noorideen: ??? what?
[22:26] <mgolisch> queenabc: or just download gparted livecd and do it from that
[22:26] <mgolisch> its graphical
[22:26] <queenabc> okay thanks
[22:26]  * syntroPi would like to see the error messages from that
[22:26] <Noorideen> ntzrmtthihu777: nothing sorry.
[22:26] <NYCplaya> anyone know how to set up hostapd?
[22:26] <NYCplaya> brb
[22:26] <syntroPi> queenabc, yes ans linux liveCD should work
[22:27] <Noorideen> whats the difference between php and python?
[22:27] <syntroPi> mgolisch, idk if its a GPT if wiping only the first MegaBytes would work?
[22:28] <queenabc> syntroPi: so run a live cd, enter the terminal and run those commands you mentioned?
[22:28] <Noorideen> guys powershell is like terminal?
[22:28] <queenabc> Windows verison of terminal, slightly different command
[22:29] <queenabc> command syntax*
[22:29] <Noorideen> queenabc: thank you i am new to programming, i am studying python atm
[22:29] <mgolisch> syntroPi: probably not
[22:29] <Noorideen> queenabc: can you tell me whats "apropos remove"? please
[22:30] <queenabc> Noorideen: I went down that road last year. python is nice. i haven't competed because thingsgot int he way but it's a good start apparently
[22:30] <syntroPi> queenabc, if your disk ist the first hdd (/dev/hda): yes. also you can use GParted GUI program from http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=downloads
[22:30] <queenabc> Noorideen: can't sorry. didn't finish the course
[22:30] <lundy> wot port does ububtu desktop sharing use? or do i need to port forward it?
[22:30] <queenabc> syntroPi: this part always gets me. do i burn the iso as a file or the contents
[22:30] <Noorideen> queenabc: good luck, and thank you!
[22:31] <queenabc> Noorideen: I was using Learn Python the Hard way, if that helps you at all. google pdfs if you need to
[22:31] <mgolisch> queenabc: you select the proper option to create a cd from an iso image
[22:31] <Noorideen> queenabc: thats what i am reading atm :)
[22:31] <syntroPi> queenabc, an iso image is an "image" from a cd, so a container which contains the cd contents. use a cd burning program to burn image and not only copy that file to cd
[22:31] <Noorideen> queenabc: i am learning about powershell before python.
[22:32] <queenabc> did the same  Noorideen
[22:33] <queenabc> syntroPi: buring the contents of the iso onto the disc. if it doesnt boot properallu ill go back and redo it the other way.
[22:33] <roger_> How would I output say the results of an "ls" into a text widget in gtkdialog?
[22:33] <Ben64> queenabc: thats not how to do it
[22:33] <queenabc> once i boot from it, will it give me the option to format the drive?
[22:33] <Ben64> queenabc: you need to burn the image as an image
[22:34] <queenabc> did not give me that option. will re do it now
[22:34] <syntroPi> queenabc, use cd burning program and tell it to burn iso image to cd. dont extract it before or such
[22:34] <Dave77> is it possible to control overscan in ubuntu?  how do I launch the screen config from cmd line?
[22:34] <Ben64> i don't know what program you're using, but i think every one has an option to burn an image
[22:34] <myname_> hey i cant get my headphones to play sound on my macbook with 12.04. anyone have a solution?
[22:34] <syntroPi> queenabc, then it should write a bootloader to your cd so you can boot from it
[22:35] <queenabc> alright, re did it and it's currently burning it. thanks
[22:35] <NYCplaya> I'm trying to set up my server as a hotspot but the tutorial doesn't say if I have to create hostapd-minimal.conf cause I searched for the file
[22:35] <NYCplaya> and can't find it
[22:35] <queenabc> its the gparted livecd
[22:35] <Sazpaimon> how would I go about converting the installation ISO to a UEFI bootable USB stick?
[22:36] <queenabc> make sure the usb is bootable I presume.
[22:36] <myname_> Sazpaimon, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[22:36] <queenabc> i did it a while ago and had to make the drive compatble with the boot fle first, otherwise he boot menu wouldnt read the thing
[22:36] <Sazpaimon> myname_, does this apply for UEFI?
[22:37] <Sazpaimon> remember UEFI doesn't work the same as BIOS
[22:37] <queenabc> syntroPi: when i boot from the cd, I'm running those commands you told me?
[22:37] <syntroPi> queenabc, either those or you just use the installed GParted partition editor from the "start" menu in the GUI
[22:37] <myname_> Sazpaimon, sry idk much about the difference between EFI and UEFI. What r u tryin to do?
[22:38] <Sazpaimon> myname_, UEFI and EFI are used interchangably
[22:38] <syntroPi> queenabc, maybe you need to "startx" to launch gui. not sure
[22:38] <Sazpaimon> UEFI is just a newer version of EFI and it's available on most motherboards
[22:38] <queenabc> syntroPi: okay thanks. so either i run the commands "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M" or look for the gui with the partition editor
[22:39] <myname_> Sazpaimon, then i think yes it will work.
[22:39] <Ben64> queenabc: are you trying to erase your drive?
[22:39] <queenabc> can i post a pastebin link? it of the commands i am supposed to run, i want to make sure the syntax is right
[22:39] <queenabc> Ben64: yes
[22:40] <queenabc> the boot drive needs to be formatted from ext4 to ntfs
[22:40] <syntroPi> queenabc, just to make sure you understand correctly: you will wipe all data from your disk that way... so its gone after you do this !!!
[22:40] <Ben64> queenabc: ok... well make sure sda is the one you want to kill
[22:40] <queenabc> syntroPi: it
[22:40] <Sazpaimon> myname_, for the windows USB installer it's just as easy as just copying the contents of the ISO to a fat32 formatted USB stick=
[22:40] <Ben64> queenabc: you don't need to use dd to format a drive to ntfs
[22:40] <queenabc> syntroPi: it's a new drive, nothing on it so now worries =D
[22:40] <Sazpaimon> since the windows ISO contains the EFI directory and the proper files to boot
[22:40] <queenabc> Ben64: what,....
[22:40] <Ben64> queenabc: you can just format it...
[22:41] <syntroPi> queenabc, ok fine just wanted to make sure
[22:41] <queenabc> from where... can't do it while i'm in the disk
[22:41] <Ben64> how are you in it? you said it was blank
[22:41] <queenabc> Blank as in no files i need to back up
[22:41] <SonikkuAmerica> Hi! Big problem, little time: My ~/.Xauthority disappeared during an update; how do I restore it?
[22:41] <myname_> Sazpaimon, easier. you just select the iso (or even download thro the installer, tho ive never done that) and the disk you want to write to. sometimes it messes up and you gotta do it a couple times.
[22:41] <queenabc> i need to format it to ntfs
[22:42] <queenabc> syntroPi: like this? http://pastebin.com/y24UCGX4
[22:42] <ozcanesen> i added third-party and property repositories but still i can't find 'steam' package on ubuntu 12.04 x64 ?
[22:42] <Ben64> queenabc: oh ok, well you can do that with gparted, without using dd at all, that just will waste time
[22:42] <Sazpaimon> myname_, the WUBI page says that it isnt compatible with UEFI
[22:42] <queenabc> yeah i just created a live disk of that.
[22:42] <queenabc> matte rof fact ill just run it now
[22:42] <queenabc> THANKS EVERYONE
[22:42] <SonikkuAmerica> Never mind, spotted it
[22:43] <Sazpaimon> keep in mind all this talk about making the USB stick bootable and stuff doesn't apply to uefi
[22:43] <Sazpaimon> uefi doesnt have any such thing as MBR and bootable partitions
[22:43] <Sazpaimon> or at least, not the same way as bios does
[22:43] <SrPx> What is the fastest command to find a file on the filesys?
[22:44] <SrPx> Deeply*
[22:44] <myname_> Sazpaimon, well when i take usb i created thro the installer i am able to boot it on my mac which and when i do it shows up as EFI. i really dont know tho. give it a try its a free app
[22:45] <Sazpaimon> also, I think there may be a bug on the ubuntu site
[22:45] <jrib> SrPx: try "locate"
[22:46] <mgolisch> but that only works if you update its db regularly
[22:46] <Sazpaimon> selecting 12.10 64 bit from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop takes me to http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/questions?distro=desktop&bits=64&release=latest and clicking the "Not now, take me to the download" link takes me to the a page that downloads 32 bit LTS
[22:46] <Sazpaimon> can anyone else replicate this?
[22:46] <syntroPi> SrPx, "find /path/to/searchdir -type f -name '*filename*'"
[22:47] <mgolisch> Sazpaimon: nope downloads the 64bit here
[22:47] <Sazpaimon> strange
[22:47] <Sazpaimon> it even happens to me in incognito so I know it isn't any extensions
[22:48] <Dave77> is anybody using ubuntu with HDMI->DVI connector?
[22:48] <genii-around> Sazpaimon: Downloads the 64 bit here as well
[22:49] <syntroPi> Sazpaimon, nope it downs the x64
[22:49] <Sazpaimon> wait it does work in incognito
[22:49] <Sazpaimon> ok I figured it out, I had noscript blocking yahooapis.com
[22:49] <Sazpaimon> carry on, nothing to see here
[22:49] <syntroPi> Sazpaimon, yes incognito here too
[22:50] <syntroPi> Dave77, HDMI -> HDMI with nvidia even works with sound here
[22:50] <syntroPi> Dave77 DVI should be same without sound
[22:50] <Dave77> what is the application called to configure the screen in ubuntu/linux called?   trying to see if ubuntu has overscan controls
[22:51] <syntroPi> Dave77 if nvidia then try "nvidia-settings"
[22:51] <Dave77> I got ATI..
[22:52] <syntroPi> hmm maybe there is similar program there idk
[22:52] <queenabc> syntroPi: why is the resoluton set to microscopic ant letters? i cant read S*^@
[22:52] <genii-around> xrandr, resapplet  ...
[22:52] <queenabc> I tried choosing a diff resoluion but nothing changes
[22:52] <queenabc> using the GUI for gparted
[22:54] <queenabc> does anyone have the gparted livecd gui setup memorized? and can just walk me thru "click this symbol, that symbol, etc"" dont get why the res won't change
[22:55] <syntroPi> queenabc, ah maybe thats because of QT reading the resolution of your screen from edid interface: try "qtconfig-qt4" to change
[22:56] <genii-around> queenabc: You can also try: ctrl-alt-<numpad + or - >
[22:56] <queenabc> i have no idea if i typed it in correctly, but will try again
[22:56] <syntroPi> queenabc, also you can try to use that dd cmd from tty1 (ctrl alt f1)
[22:56] <genii-around> ( to cycle through available resolutions
[22:56] <queenabc> yeah the zoom just messes it up worse
[22:57] <queenabc> i just ctrl-alt-f1 and now i'm stuck at a screen that says
[22:57] <queenabc> "xrandr: Failed to get size of gama for output default
[22:58] <syntroPi> queenabc, also note that dd cmd will take some time since it overwrites your whole disk (depending on size it can take hours....)
[22:58] <queenabc> I'm a 42" tv.. shall i switch to the 19"? lol
[22:58] <queenabc> I'm on*
[22:58] <genii-around> queenabc: xrandr can't work in tty1-tty6 only a terminal from inside X
[22:58] <sultan_sulehiman> Salamalekum
[22:58] <syntroPi> queenabc, thats the problem: your tv is over one meter and that qt4 reads that from edid parameters and makes fonts tiny
[22:58] <queenabc> shit.
[22:59] <queenabc> okay minor adjustments to be made. one sec
[22:59] <syntroPi> queenabc, can you go to gui with ctr alt f2 or highter (maybe f7=?
[22:59] <genii-around> alt-f7
[22:59] <syntroPi> try all f keys
[23:00] <fancyabum> Heyyy
[23:01] <sultan_sulehiman> Hello gaylords
[23:01] <unheeding> sultan_sulehiman: rule#1 DONT BE A DICK
[23:01] <fanyabum> Ok sorry
[23:02] <queenabc> ctrl-alt-f2 brought me to what looks like the cmd
[23:02] <queenabc> i'm "user@debian:~$
[23:02] <syntroPi> queenabc, ok do "ls -l /dev/sd*"
[23:03] <queenabc> syntroPi: gives me 4 root disks looks like
[23:03] <syntroPi> queenabc, which ones?
[23:03] <syntroPi> queenabc, sda1-4
[23:03] <syntroPi> maybe?
[23:04] <queenabc> is this not typing?
[23:04] <queenabc> oh there we go
[23:04] <queenabc> */dev/sda
[23:04] <queenabc> then sda1, sda2, and sda5
[23:04] <rtc> hi, since upgrading some server from ubuntu 8 to ubuntu 12, I'm getting "svn: PROPFIND of '/repository/!svn/bc/1058': Could not read status line: SSL error: Decryption has failed. (https://servername)
[23:04] <queenabc> apparetly the irc was taking the "/"as a command lol
[23:04] <syntroPi> queenabc, thats your first hdd and the 1 2 and 5 are the partitions on it
[23:05] <rtc> ie, the server with svn-dav-apache was upgraded
[23:05] <queenabc> okay, so type "dd /dec/sda
[23:05] <picca> on some irc clients you can escape / with a //
[23:06] <picca> /dev/hda
[23:06] <queenabc> not an option
[23:06] <genii-around> queenabc: What are you trying to do with dd ?
[23:06] <syntroPi> queenabc, if you want to wipe that first hdd you go like "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M" to erase all data and partitions from it. doesnt display anything and can take very long (hours). you can always stop it with "ctr c"
[23:07] <queenabc> dont know, someone told me i need to run that command to format the ext4 drive to ntfs
[23:07] <queenabc> syntroPi: ok on it now
[23:07] <genii-around> queenabc: No, you don't need that
[23:07] <syntroPi> genii-around, he tried to format with windows installer for some reason that wouldnt work
[23:08] <syntroPi> genii-around, so that would make it factory new zeroed out
[23:08] <genii-around> syntroPi: Just change partition type to 7 for ntfs, use mkntfs /dev/sda#   for it
[23:08] <bunjee> please help me install this file - firefox-18.0.2.tar.bz2
[23:08] <queenabc> alrght so first line of command was "sudo---zero"" then next line was "of --sda" then last line was "bs=1M" right?
[23:09] <syntroPi> genii-around, not sure of win8 would eat that NTFS
[23:09] <genii-around> syntroPi: If you want to reclaim entire drive then use partitoner to do that, make one big one, same process... type 7, mkntfs, etc
[23:09] <syntroPi> queenabc, noo all on one line then enter
[23:09] <queenabc> pressed enter after last line and now a new line is opened, with the underscore blinker rapidly.. i'm guessing it's going?
[23:09] <queenabc> dammit
[23:10] <syntroPi> queenabc, ctr D
[23:10] <queenabc> i control C
[23:10] <queenabc> same?
[23:10] <syntroPi> kinda
[23:10] <genii-around> queenabc: Not really but maybe it wiped out the mbr
[23:10] <syntroPi> genii-around, well gui doesnt work on his box and parted maybe too complicated
[23:11] <queenabc> alright did it in one line, pressed enter once, now new line opened
[23:11] <queenabc> press enter again?
[23:11] <syntroPi> genii-around, not sure how many bytes need to be wiped if it would be a gpt... but mbr the first megabytes should be enough
[23:11] <genii-around> syntroPi: Yup
[23:11] <trism> bunjee: firefox 18.0.2 is already in every supported release, might just need to: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade;
[23:12] <braiam> might as well need to: sudo apt-get install firefox?
[23:12] <syntroPi> queenabc, type one line                            sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M                         then hit ENTER
[23:12] <queenabc> i did
[23:12] <braiam> queenabc, http://askubuntu.com/questions/206773/how-to-completely-erase-hard-drive
[23:12] <braiam> the secure way
[23:13] <queenabc> now the blinker is sitting on the second line as if its waiting for the rest of the arguments
[23:13] <genii-around> queenabc: No, it's just processing. Will return to prompt when done, but gives no progress indication
[23:13] <queenabc> shit. okay ill just let it sit again
[23:13] <genii-around> queenabc: If you do the ctrl-D it will background it
[23:14] <braiam> crtl-z isn't it?
[23:14] <bunjee> thank you trism!
[23:14] <queenabc> well i'm on a live cd so no point in backgrounding the process,
[23:14] <syntroPi> braiam, doesnt need secure since he will overwrite it with win8. no urandom or several turns wipe needed
[23:15] <queenabc> and the gui is still super tiny syntroPi from what i saw when switching between the F keys
[23:16] <syntroPi> queenabc, had same issue here: QT4 will read your screen resolution and size from EDID interface (HDMI or DVI maybe even VGA???) and use that for font size. those will be 3px on 42 TVs hahaha (bug or feature)???
[23:16] <genii-around> braiam: Maybe, I don't use it that often....
[23:17] <queenabc> but i switched to my 19" lol problemshould be averted yeah? but nada
[23:17] <bunjee> happy valentines day people!!!
[23:17] <queenabc> i'm sorry, 28" i think. not 19.. what the hell. i dont know
[23:18] <syntroPi> queenabc, i had that issue with google earth. searched long time for solutions... then i just used "qtconfig-qt4" to set proper font size and there they were
[23:19] <queenabc> now if i run that command in my cmd on wind7.. will it do the same.. just look for the right resolution?
[23:19] <queenabc> on my laptop , that is
[23:19] <syntroPi> queenabc, idk but i think they should restrict those settings to lower limit maybe 8px or so. then characters would be readable with magnifying glasses at least :p
[23:21] <syntroPi> queenabc, qt is kde or programs using that gui library. there are some for windows too but it wont change your windows gui setting
[23:21] <braiam> queenabc, win cmd allow you to change font type and size
[23:21] <queenabc> yeah i tried getting my camera out but didnt work
[23:21] <syntroPi> brb
[23:22] <syntroPi> queenabc, btw is your hdd led flashing/lighting up?
[23:23] <queenabc> no clue where that is. will have to look up the cases's manual. the power led is lit normally (blue) but there's a secondary light right next to it that's rectangular and red atm
[23:23] <queenabc> it the fractal design arc midi
[23:23] <syntroPi> queenabc, just to make sure your cmd is active and writing to it. no need for manual
[23:24] <queenabc> the cmd is still blinking the cursor so should be good right now
[23:24] <datsmoida> do you guys know how to test if multiple ips are working on my machine ?
[23:24] <syntroPi> usually the hdd leds are red
[23:25] <queenabc> ill just study my ccna for the moment until it clears up. will come back if anything changes
[23:25] <syntroPi> queenabc, ok when its done you will have your normal prompt "user@debian:~$" or so
[23:25] <queenabc> okay sweet
[23:26] <queenabc> what exactly is this doing right now?
[23:26] <queenabc> when i cancelled out before it gave me a reading of the records copied
[23:26] <queenabc> gave me the size copied, the seconds it took, and the speed it did it in
[23:26] <queenabc> i cancelle twice accidentally
[23:27] <syntroPi> queenabc, it reads from /dev/zero (device that just provides zeroes) and writes those to your first hdd /dev/sda. so after it finished you have a "factory new" zeroed hdd
[23:27] <queenabc> okay, and at what point to i set the filesystem to ntfs? or will this do that
[23:28] <syntroPi> queenabc, nope you have blank disk after that. then windows installer will make new ntfs partition
[23:28] <queenabc> sweet. thanks. wil return with results
[23:32] <azizLIGHTS> i ran sudo apt-get update and im getting a lotta errors

[23:35] <angel> hello
[23:35] <azizLIGHTS> i literalyl just wanna install mc and do some file browsing
[23:35] <azizLIGHTS> no update of my os
[23:36] <azizLIGHTS> its intrepid
[23:36] <zykotick9> azizLIGHTS: 1) unsupported versions aren't a good idea to use.  2) are you familiar with ranger?  i like it more then mc.
[23:37] <zykotick9> azizLIGHTS: see "/msg ubottu eol" for some details
[23:39] <azizLIGHTS> irealize this version is old, and i agree unsupported/old versions are not a good idea. however, this is just a skeleton computer that houses hard drives for me over a local network, a NAS, if you will. i dont connect it to the internet or intend to, just wanna get afile manager on here so i can do it more comfortably. and i havent seen ranger yet no. im willin to try it
[23:39] <azizLIGHTS> how do i go about getting mc or ranger
[23:39] <zykotick9> azizLIGHTS: see "/msg ubottu eol" for some details, i think it has some quasi-repo you can use (that's intended for updates... but hopefully you can use it)
[23:40] <azizLIGHTS> if that doesnt work? i have to compile source?
[23:40] <braiam> or look for a shady binary somewhere...
[23:40] <zykotick9> azizLIGHTS: well, by "real" advice would be fresh install a supported version ;)
[23:40] <zykotick9> s/by/my/
[23:41] <azizLIGHTS> thats my next step heh. first im trying to consolidate hdds, then wipe, then upgrade
[23:41] <zykotick9> azizLIGHTS: upgrade from intrepid.  good luck with that.
[23:41] <azizLIGHTS> er, by upgrade, i mean fresh install
[23:42] <azizLIGHTS> bad choice of words
[23:42] <braiam> you can too mount the hdd on another pc and make your movements there
[23:43] <braiam> I think is more easy then waste hours looking for a way with your current os
[23:43] <azizLIGHTS> lol
[23:43] <azizLIGHTS> yeah i guess
[23:43] <braiam> just trying to being practical ;)
[23:44] <azizLIGHTS> yeah you make sense, i dunno why i didnt think of that
[23:46] <queenabc> syntroPi: you there?
[23:47] <queenabc> It worked, thanks, everyone

[23:48] <zZeus> Hey good people, so I read that Steam is finally being distributed on the Ubuntu Software Center
[23:49] <zZeus> And I'm greeted with this button http://snag.gy/z3OAZ.jpg
[23:49] <DoWhileGeek> zZeus:  lul
[23:49] <sonOfRa> zZeus, I can confirm that, saw that too today. It takes you to launchpad signup
[23:49] <zZeus> Why the hate though
[23:50] <zZeus> Anyway to work around it?
[23:50] <sonOfRa> I downloaded the latest deb...
[23:50] <sonOfRa> worked just fine :)
[23:51] <zZeus> Is there a 64-bit deb package in Steam's site?
[23:51] <analtoy> hello !
[23:51] <sonOfRa> sadly, no :/
[23:51] <braiam> free = buy...
[23:52] <zZeus> braiam, if you mean that it's a textual glitch: it's not. It takes you a sign up page and stuff
[23:53] <jrib> zZeus: what's the problem?
[23:53] <zZeus> http://snag.gy/z3OAZ.jpg
[23:53] <zZeus> This
[23:53] <braiam> nah, I was just loling at the text in the left that said "free"
[23:53] <jrib> zZeus: yes, what's the problem?
[23:54] <zZeus> That's the problem, I want to install it via the USC
[23:54] <jrib> zZeus: what happens when you click "buy"?
[23:54] <zZeus> I'm taken to ubuntu.com or something that looks like it to sign up
[23:55] <zZeus> Like I have to pay for it
[23:55] <zZeus> Currently, the problem is finding the Steam 64-bit debian package so I can install it manually though
[23:55] <kunji> zZeus: Hmm, that's weird, it says free
[23:55] <kostkon> zZeus, it's free, but you need to have an ubuntu one account to install it
[23:56] <jrib> zZeus: you can use apt if you want to install the "steam" package
[23:56] <jrib> zZeus: but yes, I think it's just setup to be setup with your ubuntu one account (it's free)
[23:56] <zZeus> jrib, that's odd
[23:57] <kunji> Is that 13.04?  I don't think support for that has started in this channel yet.
[23:57] <lonewulf85> Hey is any one familiar with testout.com?
[23:57] <zZeus> Xubuntu 12.10
[23:57] <braiam> instead buy, it could use another term to describe the process, it will confuse users
[23:58] <kunji> zZeus: Hmm, oh, I see, it's in the software center
[23:58] <zZeus> Yes, http://snag.gy/z3OAZ.jpg
[23:58] <kunji> jrib: I don't see a steam package via apt though
[23:59] <zZeus> apt-get install steam doesn't work
[23:59] <lonewulf85> Anyone please testout.com?
