[00:02] <Deformative> Hi, I am diskless booting ubuntu and would like the nodes to get their hostname from the dns.
[00:02] <Deformative> How do I configure this?
[00:03] <daftykins> are you running your own DNS server?
[00:04] <Deformative> daftykins: Yes.
[00:06] <mojtaba> valroadie: thank you very much for your help
[00:10] <valroadie> np mojtaba ;) glad to help
[00:10] <Deformative> Anyone?

[00:31] <neibors> Hi  all
[00:31] <neibors> I'm installed ubuntu studio 12.04. What the password for root?
[00:32] <goyan124> hello
[00:33] <veryhappy> hey guys where do i have to go with jackd?
[00:33] <reisio> veryhappy: hrmm?
[00:34] <goyan124> how do i install windows xp iso from ubuntu. unetbootin doesn't work
[00:34] <daftykins> neibors: root doesn't have a password
[00:34] <daftykins> goyan124: write it to a CD/DVD
[00:34] <veryhappy> reisio: i mean when i have problem with the audio server jackd where do i have to go?
[00:34] <goyan124> daftykins i don't have cd
[00:34] <goyan124> or disk drive
[00:34] <reisio> veryhappy: you could start here
[00:35] <neibors> rly? Hmm...
[00:35] <reisio> veryhappy: or send /msg alis list *jack* and look for the highest number
[00:35] <reisio> (which is #jack)
[00:35] <daftykins> goyan124: got a flash drive spare?
[00:35] <goyan124> daftykins yes i have usb cards
[00:35] <veryhappy> reisio: ok thank you, i'll first start here
[00:35] <goyan124> daftykins flash drive
[00:36] <reisio> veryhappy: you can also find the website for the project, and search it like so: http://www.google.com/search?q="irc" site%3Ajackaudio.org
[00:36] <daftykins> goyan124: actually you're not going to be able to do it unless you have a windows system to prepare the flash drive in the first place. you either need to write a CD or use a windows system, you can't install it from ubuntu
[00:36] <veryhappy> reisio: yea thanks dude, i wanna try here first
[00:36] <veryhappy> ;)
[00:36] <benzrf> daftykins: that's BS
[00:36] <reisio> well, all roads point to #jack
[00:36] <reisio> this time
[00:36] <benzrf> there are plenty of utilites that work on buntu
[00:36] <reisio> but perhaps not the next :)
[00:37] <goyan124> daftykins what program to use for xp iso to install in a fash drive?
[00:37] <goyan124> flash*
[00:37] <veryhappy> it's really hard for me to get jackd running how it is supposed to work but when i have to stop jackd i don't get it running anymore that good how can i completely get a process to stop completely when i need to restart it
[00:37] <neibors> I try enter in root without password- Error(password)
[00:37] <daftykins> benzrf: you're familiar with how XP installs yes? after copying files it needs to know the original mountpoint to see the flash drive as the install media again. this usually requires much scripting
[00:37] <goyan124> in windowA
[00:37] <goyan124> s
[00:37] <reisio> goyan124: http://serverfault.com/questions/6714/how-to-make-windows-7-usb-flash-install-media-from-linux#answer-167060
[00:37] <reisio> more reliable than any other approach, IME
[00:37] <daftykins> yeah that's 7, not XP
[00:38] <daftykins> not the same thing _at all_
[00:38] <jrib> !root | neibors
[00:38] <reisio> well, they're both Windows, so yes at all :p
[00:38] <goyan124> i need for xp
[00:38] <reisio> goyan124: try it
[00:38] <daftykins> i just explained why it won't work.
[00:38] <reisio> goyan124: and if it doesn't work talk to #windows, since it's a Windows problem you have
[00:38] <nvzn> anyone else having a hell of a time with recent 12.06 kernels?
[00:38] <reisio> daftykins: nope, you merely said it wasn't the same thing
[00:38] <nvzn> anyone else having a hell of a time with recent 12.04 kernels?
[00:38] <reisio> can't even remember what you said? :p
[00:38] <daftykins> reisio: before that
[00:38] <reisio> nvzn: probably, what's up?
[00:38] <reisio> daftykins: before that I hadn't mentioned it
[00:39] <daftykins> reisio: yeah but the same statements apply
[00:39] <nvzn> reisio: they don't boot for me
[00:39] <reisio> how could they :p
[00:39] <reisio> nvzn: probably avoid using them, then
[00:39] <daftykins> reisio: ugh. you are quite clearly not experienced enough on this topic. i shall leave you to your trolling sir.
[00:39] <nvzn> well, i'd like to figure out what's going on
[00:39] <reisio> daftykins: righto
[00:39] <reisio> nvzn: what happens?
[00:40] <nvzn> i get a stack trace
[00:40] <nvzn> i'll u/l it and link it so you can see
[00:40] <nvzn> 1 min
[00:40] <neibors> It works!

[00:47] <ripplebit> guys tor isn't working, any ideas?
[00:47] <valroadie> nvzn: do you have a grub installed?
[00:47] <nvzn> ya
[00:47] <reisio> ripplebit: fix it
[00:48] <nvzn> i notice grub changed
[00:48] <valroadie> Nvzn: ok well does it boot if you revert to previous kernals?
[00:48] <nvzn> yes
[00:48] <nvzn> 3.2.0-41-generic
[00:48] <HelloWorld321> ripplebit: is there an entry in the error log?
[00:48] <nvzn> is what i currently run
[00:49] <valroadie> alright well I would recommend just reverting back as the newer kernals aren't too dramatic of a change
[00:49] <nvzn> well thats what i've dont
[00:49] <nvzn> well thats what i've done
[00:49] <nvzn> but i want to know why
[00:49] <nvzn> maybe i can update something
[00:49] <valroadie> idk..compatibility? random bug? could be a number of things...
[00:50] <valroadie> you could always make a forum thread and post up some info and see if anyone has ideas
[00:50] <nvzn> yeah
[00:50] <nvzn> i should
[00:50] <nvzn> bug report
[00:50] <budtuba> Well, I just logged on.  My son (the computer expert) was conversing with start before, but we still haven't got my sound system working.  Now after rebooting I cannot start Pulse
[00:50] <valroadie> ;)
[00:50] <ripplebit> guys tor ins't working, how can i fix it?
[00:50] <budtuba> audio ...fatal errro.
[00:50] <valroadie> ripplebit: uninstall reinstall
[00:50] <ripplebit> tried that
[00:50] <budtuba> An ideas what could have happened?
[00:51] <valroadie> ripplebit: have you changed anything recently? if not then I have no idea...I don't use proxies ;)
[00:51] <truedeity> anyone got a decent copy of man of steel?
[00:51] <ripplebit> not that i can remember
[00:51] <valroadie> ripplebit: could be your ISP
[00:52] <valroadie> I know some of them reject tor
[00:52] <ripplebit> how could they block it?
[00:52] <Dr_willis> also you could clarify whats 'not working' about it.. and check its logs, and enable verbose logging.
[00:52] <byc> compiled wireshark 1.10.0 looks weired in Ubuntu 12.04 http://ntu.me/di/PK18/2013-06-16.png
[00:52] <budtuba> anybody:  I need help with my sound system.  PulseAudio cannot be started...fatal error.
[00:53] <valroadie> riplebit: no idea but they control the flow in and out so..they must have tabs on it...im sure if they can scold you for torrenting then they can figure out tor ;)
[00:53] <Dr_willis> You really dont want to use Torrents With TOR.
[00:53] <ripplebit> i dont want it for torrenting
[00:54] <ripplebit> or doing anything illegal or whatever. just want a way of protecting my privacy
[00:54] <byc> any ideas for my problem?
[00:54] <Dr_willis> ripplebit,  Tor is a little overrated in 'privacy' protection..
[00:54] <truedeity> whatever happened to the distro days of irc?
[00:54] <valroadie> not saying anyone is torrenting, I am saying if your ISP knows when people are torrenting then I am sure they could figure out peole who use tor
[00:55] <ripplebit> what is the alternative to tor then?
[00:55] <Dr_willis> truedeity,  other IRC networks have shareing channels. Not freenode
[00:55] <valroadie> budtuba: Try here maybe? I do not know a lot about the audio aspect of ubuntu http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/
[00:55] <k1l> !warez | truedeity
[00:55] <Dr_willis> ripplebit,  a vpn, or proxy
[00:55] <truedeity> whats the best warez server/chan then?
[00:55] <yeats> byc: 1) your link doesn't work for me 2) why not install from the repo
[00:55] <budtuba> Guru:  I like your name...you know anything about sound not working?
[00:55] <ripplebit> i've been looking, but i cant find any free linux vpns
[00:55] <k1l> truedeity: stop asking here
[00:55] <Dr_willis> truedeity,  no idea.. thats not really ubuntu support related..
[00:55] <Charmlet> truedeity: None. Freenode has policies against warez.
[00:55] <Dr_willis> ripplebit,  ive seen them for as low as $5 a month.
[00:56] <Dr_willis> ripplebit,  with $10 mo 'credit' with special cupon codes
[00:56] <truedeity> its too bad
[00:56] <pong> why would a home user need a vpn?
[00:56] <Dr_willis> pong,  I ran a znc server on it for my IRC ussage.
[00:57] <Dr_willis> and could also set up my own vpn.
[00:57] <Dr_willis> so i can get to my stuff from my phone.
[00:57] <Dr_willis> the idea of a 'home' user is somewhat 'broad'
[00:57] <pong> Dr_WIllis, for privacy reasons?
[00:57] <Dr_willis> pong,  thats one reason
[00:57] <Charmlet> So, I have an actual question!
[00:58] <Charmlet> I created a bootable USB with the latest ubuntu 64bit on it.
[00:58] <Charmlet> and every time I load it, it asks to try/install. How do I get it to just be bootable without try/install?
[00:58] <pong> isn't it just switching ips from isp to vpn service?
[00:58] <daftykins> Charmlet: you needed to create the flash drive with 'persistence'
[00:58] <Charmlet> I used the pendrivelinux thing
[00:58] <Charmlet> and made the persistance about 3.5 gb >.>
[00:59] <yeats> !pm | byc
[00:59] <byc> yeats:1)is there any pastebin avaliable for you guys 2)the same problem with the one in the repo
[00:59] <k1l> !paste | byc
[01:00] <Charmlet> daftykins: and there's a 3,600 MB "casper-rw" thing on the drive
[01:01] <Charmlet> daftykins: do I just keep pressing try each time I use it?
[01:01] <Dr_willis> Charmlet,  you can do a 'full' normal install to a usb flash if you wanted.. or this sort of old guide suggests removeing the 'ubiquity' package
[01:02] <Dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/7429/remove-welcome-screen-from-live-usb
[01:02] <daftykins> Charmlet: i sort of expected it to not show the menu anymore when done right, not sure
[01:02] <Charmlet> So the pendrivelinux wasn't the right install?
[01:02] <Charmlet> I probably screwed up somewhere.
[01:03] <Dr_willis> Charmlet,  depends on what you want.
[01:03] <Charmlet> I want it to be bootable and useable from the USB
[01:03] <Charmlet> but not for super intensive stuff, or anything installed.
[01:03] <Dr_willis> you CAN do a FULL normal install to usb flash.. that URL posted says you shouldent.. but the guy gives very little reason why.. and ive ran such a setup for Months and months
[01:04] <Dr_willis> OR you can use a Live-usb setup. but thats more for testing/light ussage
[01:04] <Charmlet> so how do I do the full install? full disclosure - it's an 8 gb HD, i'd run it on 4GB of ram, and I have no CD drive.
[01:04] <Dr_willis> and the guide suggest removeing the 'ubiquity' package from a live-usb install will disable that screen
[01:04] <Dr_willis> Install to USB same as you would a internal HD.  partion, put grub on its mbr and so forth
[01:04] <Dr_willis> but 8gb is a little small.
[01:05] <Deformative> Hi, I am running a bunch of diskless machines.  For some reason if I boot them all up at hte same time, about half of htem fail to mount the nfs root.  But if I turn them on one at a time, it succeeds.
[01:05] <Charmlet> little small as in it won't work, or I won't be able to install anything at all?
[01:05] <Deformative> Anyone have any ideas?
[01:05] <Charmlet> all I'd need to install is chrome pretty much.
[01:06] <reisio> Deformative: network saturation / timeouts?
[01:06] <reisio> Deformative: ask #nfs
[01:07] <Deformative> reisio: Ok, thanks.
[01:07] <reisio> sticking a tube in your mouth is what digital music is all about
[01:07] <reisio> whoops, wrong chan
[01:07] <Dr_willis> Charmlet,  then TRY what that guide suggested.. remove the Ubiquity package via  the apt-get command it says. it might disable that screen.. or just keep clicking try...
[01:08] <Charmlet> Dr_willis: I'll try to do that. Thanks :)

[01:20] <reisio> Skymont: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humble_Bundle
[01:20] <Skymont> have you heard of xonotic?
[01:20] <reisio> nope

[01:22] <ner0x> Any well know bluetooth adapters that are PCI? Or whatever the onboard card type are these days?
[01:24] <daftykins> ner0x: they tend to sell them as USB dongles alone
[01:25] <Dr_willis> I think theres  a few laptop wifi cards with bluetooth built in.. but neverreally looked at them
[01:25] <reisio> yeah it'll be a lot easier to find usb
[01:25] <Dr_willis> BT  - would be so handy.. if it worked better/faster/easier... ;P
[01:26] <ner0x> daftykins: dongles?
[01:26] <daftykins> yep.
[01:27] <ner0x> What is a dongle? lol
[01:27] <Dr_willis> http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dongle
[01:27] <Dr_willis> (computer hardware) Any small device which plugs into an electronic device, typically a computer, and alters its functionality. Common examples include wireless modems, software copy protect devices, and adapters. Some USB keyboards and mice include USB to PS/2 adapter dongles, enabling their use on machines with PS/2 ports.
[01:31] <codezombie> In my boot script I have a command listed called "console". This should call us a tmux instance, but for some reason the console command is being run at start up. https://gist.github.com/gitt/3a8ebc64bb6f412acb64 - question is, what would be causing that? This isn't my first boot script I've written, however it is the first time I've had this happen.
[01:33] <tehTerminator> join #ubuntu
[01:37] <codezombie> nvm, had backticks in an echo statement... *facepalm*
[01:39] <ner0x> Dr_willis: What a terrible name for a piece of hardware.
[01:40] <Tex_Nick> Dr_willis : i was chatting with someone bout a month ago who was using a rasberry pi with ubuntu ... was that you ?
[01:42] <Dr_willis> Tex_Nick,  Likely. :) not much to chat about.. since ubuntu isent ported to the Pi.
[01:44] <makuto> When you lose control of the desktop to a fullscreen application, what do you do? I've ctrl alt f1ed out and rebooted, but there must be a better way
[01:44] <Dr_willis> makuto,  just kill the app from the console.
[01:44] <Dr_willis> or if you can get a alt-f2 run dialog, use xkill
[01:45] <makuto> How do I get back to the desktop?
[01:45] <kostkon> ctrl alt f7
[01:45] <makuto> Ah, thanks!
[01:45] <Dr_willis> and instead of rebooting. you can 'sudo service lightdm restart'  to restart  the X server. ;)
[01:45] <Dr_willis> what app are you loseing controll in?
[01:46] <makuto> Some Wine apps don't behave properly
[01:46] <Dr_willis> cant say ive ever noticed any i couldent alt-tab out of...
[01:46] <Dr_willis> or use the alt-f2 xkill trick
[01:47] <Dr_willis> Unless they just totally crash the X server. ;)
[01:47] <kostkon> makuto, you can "confine" them in a window if you want by setting a virtual desktopf for them in wincfg
[01:47] <kostkon> winecfg*
[01:47] <Dr_willis> Thats always a handy feature in wine also. ;)
[01:47] <Dr_willis> had to do that with some MMORPG games over the years.
[01:47] <Tex_Nick> Dr_willis : ok thanks i was thinking about building an inexpensive box mounted to the back of a monitor with vesa mount for the grandkids ... using the pi & ubuntu ... thought there was now an unofficial ubuntu port ... thanks for feedback ;-)
[01:48] <Dr_willis> Tex_Nick,  if theres any ubuntu for the pi.. i dont know of it.
[01:48] <Dr_willis> Tex_Nick,  There is a Plex Client For the Pi now. that makes it a very nice  HTPC/DLNA player - if you want to run a plex server. :)
[01:48] <makuto> Thank you very much!
[01:49] <Dr_willis> http://rasplex.com/  even has a case (in the works) with Vesa mount brackets
[01:50] <Tex_Nick> Dr_willis : if you haven't heard of it ... it probably doesn't exist !!! ;-) hmmmmm i'll look into plex ... thank yo sir
[01:51] <Dr_willis> One of Plex's neatest features..  'plex channels' where (not totally reliable) your PC can stream  sites like AmazonPrime, Netflix, Hulu, and other flash sites.. to your pi via the pc.
[01:53] <daftykins> why plex over XBMC?
[01:54] <Dr_willis> plex uses a 'server client' model. where the PI (or other devices) just need the plex client
[01:54] <Tex_Nick> Dr_willis : yeah looking at plex now ... hey thanks for the feedback sir ^5
[01:54] <primepie> anyone knows a ppa to install libc++ from ?
[01:54] <Dr_willis> the plex server (a normal pc) handles all the hard stuff.
[01:55] <Dr_willis> I have the Plex Channel on my  Roku, my Pi,  and my Smart TV. they all 3 can play the files from my plex server with the exact same interface.
[01:55] <redrocket> same here
[01:55] <Dr_willis> Plex app for android exists also. but its like $5
[01:55] <redrocket> plex works very well with roku
[01:55] <Dr_willis> The plex 'service' they sell -  lets you access the files over the internet.
[01:55] <Dr_willis> but i dont do that.
[01:56] <Dr_willis> I grabbed some 3rd party Media player the other day with a built in HD  - it dosent have  the usefull channels the Roku does. ;(
[01:57] <gavilan2> Does linux uses a swap drive or something like virtual memory by default? I'm running it on an SSD, so I don't want to have any such things that make a lot of writes to the SSD
[01:57] <daftykins> yeah it create a swap partition usually
[01:57] <Dr_willis> if it even uses the swap at all. ;)
[01:57] <daftykins> if you manually partition and avoid making one, or put it on a mechanical HDD, all will be well
[01:58] <Dr_willis> I think people tend to worry way to much about  swap writes. but i got 8gb of ram - and rarely see swap used.
[01:58] <daftykins> sure, you do - but not everyone has the same hardware
[01:59] <Dr_willis> askubuntu.com had some tweak guides on ssds also.
[01:59] <Dr_willis> gavilan2,  and your ram amount is what exactly?
[02:00] <gavilan2> Dr_willis: 1 GB... I only use firefox usually...
[02:01] <daftykins> with a billion tabs?
[02:01] <Dr_willis> so.. you spent money on a ssd, instead of more ram? ;)
[02:01] <crazycory22> hello all
[02:02]  * Tex_Nick went CRAZY on this box with 16Gb of ram ... i doubt i'll ever use more than about 6Gb ... I am running an APU though ...integrated GPU shares sys ram
[02:03] <gavilan2> daftykins: 10 tabs at the most....
[02:03] <gavilan2> Dr_willis: My linux is a VM... The host PC has 16 GB.... I could put more ram into it, but I don't think I need it...
[02:04] <Dr_willis> gavilan2,  so you are worried about a virtual swap partition? thats on a real ssd?
[02:04] <Dr_willis> in a virtual hard drive. ;)
[02:06] <gavilan2> Dr_willis: I don't want to send many writes to the SSD...
[02:06] <Dr_willis> makes me wonder what this DigitalOcean VPS is doing.. they say they are using all SSD's  and i had a swap partition on them
[02:06] <daftykins> gavilan2: is the SSD the only storage in the system?
[02:07] <gavilan2> daftykins: I have some HDDs too, but the VM runs from the SSD....
[02:07] <Dr_willis> may be best to monitor how much the VM is swapping.. and if its doing it a lot.. increase its ram.
[02:08] <daftykins> gavilan2: just turn the swap off / reinstall without one
[02:08] <Dr_willis> or setup a 2nd virtual disk for the vm thats not on a ssd just for its swap partion/drive. but that may be overkill.
[02:09] <crazycory22> ok you guys would be the ones to ask i'm assuming.  i just installed Linux Mint.  And I am using xchat-gnome.  Is there a better irc client?
[02:09] <Dr_willis> crazycory22,  just 'xchat'  or 'weechat' and  Mint has its own support channels...
[02:09] <SuperLag> Tex_Nick: I thought 16GB was crazy in my MacBook Pro. Now on this ThinkPad, I've got 32GB of RAM. It's amazing.
[02:10] <SuperLag> Tex_Nick: and you'll use all 16GB of that, easily. From the *nix perspective... unused RAM is wasted RAM, so it'll use everything available.
[02:11] <mehwork> how do you install JRE with apt? is it the 'default-jre' package?
[02:11] <nevyn> !ram
[02:11] <Dr_willis> !java
[02:12] <Guest4030> i need help with this system LIDE how to get the sound
[02:13] <heri> test
[02:14] <reisio> heri: fail
[02:14] <SuperLag> reisio: ^5
[02:14] <mehwork> Dr_willis: that page is confusing, it says to install openjdk-jre6 and openjdk-jre7, but does that make sense or is it trying to say to install one or the other?
[02:14] <reisio> :p
[02:14] <Tex_Nick> SuperLag : lol ... hey man ... hey if you can afford it, Go For IT ;-) ... i use ffmpeg & handbrake for video transcoding sometimes ... with threads set to 4 ( i have a 4 core APU ) those apps will run all 4 cores at 100% ... the ram never exceeds about 6Gb though ... hey how you like that thinkpad ?
[02:15] <nevyn> Tex_Nick: how are you measuring your ram usage?
[02:15] <SuperLag> Tex_Nick: love it. I've got the W530, and everything works. Just set up the fingerprint thing yesterday. Now when the screensaver comes on, I swipe my index finger and it logs me in.
[02:15] <SuperLag> Tex_Nick: I love its expandability, as well. I have 3 SSD
[02:16] <SuperLag> Tex_Nick: hit Enter too quickly. 3 SSD's for a total of 1.1TB of storage. Pulled the optical. don't need it but once in a blue moon.
[02:16] <Tex_Nick> SuperLag ... measuring ram ussage with system monitor ... is there a more efficient way ???
[02:17] <SuperLag> Tex_Nick: I most often just look at "top".
[02:17] <franck_> hi :)
[02:17] <SuperLag> Tex_Nick: there are other ways, but top is sufficient for my usage
[02:17] <Tex_Nick> SuperLag ... jeeze that sounds super cool ... i might consider one of those in the n ear future
[02:18] <SuperLag> Tex_Nick: 2 regular 2.5" drives for 2 of them, and the third is an mSATA card.
[02:18] <Tex_Nick> SuperLag ... yeah i love top from terminal ... specially from SSH login ;-)
[02:18] <SuperLag> sorry... redundant on the "2"
[02:20] <Dr_willis> mehwork,  depends on if you want java 6 or java 7

[03:00] <Guest4030> lynnix question, where can i go to check my sound card?
[03:03] <lynnix> Guest4030,      check in what way           is your sound working  or not??
[03:04] <Guest4030> yes, what happens is that i had install external sound card
[03:04] <lynnix> arecord -l
[03:05] <lynnix> or   arecord -L
[03:09] <Guest62991> sorry lynnix, can you help me with my question, where can i check my sound card
[03:09] <valroadie> guest4030: type arecord -l OR arecord -L into a terminal
[03:10] <valroadie> -l is a lowercase L if you were wondering ;)
[03:11] <lynnix> Guest62991,     as he said
[03:12] <lynnix> but iI think it it    record -L
[03:12] <Guest62991> my computer i restarted i couldnt see your answer
[03:12] <valroadie> type arecord -l OR arecord -L into a terminal
[03:13] <Dr_willis> 'arecord -L '        ;)     not   'arecord -l OR arecord -L'    also.. Just to be very very very clear.
[03:13] <Dr_willis> without the quotes of course.
[03:14] <Dr_willis> !sound
[03:14] <lynnix> Dr_willis,      thanks
[03:14] <Dr_willis> just had to fight a sound issue on another machine... somehow.. unplygging plugging back in the HDMI cable got sound working... may be a slightly flakey cable i guess..  wasted an hr+ figuring that out. ;p
[03:17] <thelionroars> can anyone help me with this issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/308940/cant-access-my-raring-installation-after-adding-a-quantal-install/308946?noredirect=1#308946
[03:19] <etk> hi guys/gals.... i've had an issue on my system with updating from the repositories for a while now -- keeps failing on a few repos.  i've been trying to get multiple versions of ruby installed on my system with rvm but i think the repo problem is causing errors
[03:19] <etk> i've got the errors pasted here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5772833/
[03:19] <etk> the system is 12.0.4 precise
[03:19] <etk> has anyone experienced this ? nothing i've found on any googles has fixed the issue
[03:23] <SonikkuAmerica> etk: Try [ sudo apt-get clean ; cd /var/lib/apt ; sudo mv lists lists.old ; sudo mkdir -p lists/partial ; sudo apt-get clean ; sudo apt-get update ] in a terminal.
[03:24] <sere> etk: you could try changing your mirrors : http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[03:24] <etk> sere: let me try SonikkuAmerica's solution
[03:24] <etk> then on to yours
[03:28] <Guest39745> whats with all the pingdrops
[03:28] <SonikkuAmerica> Guest39745: Happens all the time.
[03:30] <etk> SonikkuAmerica: that didn't do the trick :/
[03:31] <etk> let me try changing mirrors...
[03:31] <etk> oh actually i just did that last night sere ... still didn't help
[03:35] <SuperLag> Is there any nicer screensaver thing, other than Xscreensaver?
[03:36] <SuperLag> The look/feel of Xscreensaver seems about 10 years old. It'd be nice to have something more modern and suave. :)
[03:36] <lotuspsychje> SuperLag: there are many screensavers looking modern, but many will use Xscreensaver base
[03:38] <sere> etk: did you add your gpd keys?
[03:38] <sere> gpg*
[03:40] <lotuspsychje> !info electricsheep | SuperLag
[03:40] <lotuspsychje> thats a nice1
[03:42] <lotuspsychje> SuperLag: apt-cache search screensaver
[03:42] <etk> sere: i did
[03:44] <sere> etk: something is stopping you from connect to certain servers and verifying a few gpg keys.. i dunno what
[03:48] <etk> hmm i've narrowed it down to just one sere
[03:49] <etk> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5772881/
[03:49] <etk> but i added all the keys...
[03:50] <etk> either way i don't understand why 1 error in sources.list breaks rvm from installing anything
[03:50] <sere> etk: if ruby is trying to pull anything from that repo. it will
[03:51] <IdleOne> !gpgerr
[03:52] <etk> i added all the keys it told me to
[03:52] <etk> not sure which specific one that is failing on
[03:53] <etk> but its a 3rd party repo that has nothing to do with ruby...
[03:53] <IdleOne> try sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 08A255AF
[03:54] <Austneal> hello!
[03:55] <etk> IdleOne: thanks... no errors now after i removed that google repo
[03:55] <etk> now back to rvm...
[03:56] <Austneal> would anyone like to help me set up postfix + dovecot? I've been reading documentation and tutorials for the past couple days and NOTHING works for me >.<
[03:56] <Austneal> can't believe Im having trouble for something so simple :/
[03:57] <lotuspsychje> Austneal: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/postfix.html
[03:57] <Austneal> also, Im looking to set it up to use multiple domains
[03:58] <tarwich> I just started running a server health monitor (zabbix) and it's warning me that inetd isn't running. However, my server only serves http and ssh. Do I really need inetd? Seems like it couldn't hurt.
[03:58] <Austneal> I can install it... just configuring it seems to be the trouble
[03:58] <lotuspsychje> Austneal: its best to ask specific errors in channel, so others might help you as good as they can
[03:59] <lotuspsychje> Austneal: maybe #ubuntu-server guys might also know your issue
[03:59] <Austneal> ah, thanks. I'll go check there
[04:00] <somsip> tarwich: have you checked to see what inetd does? You may have xinetd installed instead. Maybe zabbix just has a defaulkt config that needs changing to check for the other
[04:01] <tarwich> somsip: Yeah. It looks like inetd is a connection broker that listens for connection on behalf of other processes so that it can be managed better. And this is the default config. Some things are wrong. Didn't know about xinetd (checking…)
[04:01]  * lotuspsychje is off to work..bah
[04:02] <somsip> tarwich: I just did something that replace inetd with xinted and got concerned, but it seems to be the flashier version. Either way, check what zabbix is looking for
[04:03] <switching> so i just installed GNOME 3 in ubuntu and it worked well when I log into GNOME, but now when I switch back to unity the fonts are different and the close buttons are on the right.  What do I do?
[04:03] <tarwich> somsip: Well xinetd doesn't appear to be on the system. I just wanted to know if I can remove the check from my monitors. The ports are all open just fine, and I don't know how much inetd would 'help'. I'll google more and see if I can find out what process to look for and in the meantime I'll remove inetd from the monitor.
[04:03] <somsip> tarwich: sounds fair. Sorry I didn't have a more definitive answer for you
[04:03] <tarwich> somsip: np. Thanks for your time, man! :-)
[04:04] <Austneal> #ubuntu-server is dead :/
[04:04] <rhizome> grr. drive dying
[04:07] <Austneal> should have stuck with the windows server x_x
[04:12] <Average_Noxian_> Anyone available to answer a question? I think I've messed something up biiig time
[04:13] <somsip> !anyone | Average_Noxian_
[04:15] <Average_Noxian_> Basically, I've messed up my ssd, which I was using as a boot drive for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Something went wrong when I was installing WineHQ, and i could no longer use update manager. I decided to reinstall using the same .iso i used to install it the first time. only this time it won't let me install it on the ssd.
[04:16] <supramindix> hello
[04:16] <KickStarRabbit> hey
[04:17] <Average_Noxian_> Everytime I try to download it, it's telling me that it's in use. So i loaded from a live usb, and tried to format the ssd so that it could be wiped and reinstalled, but I get the same error, that it's in use. What do. Google and askubuntu have not a whole lot of information on this problem
[04:18] <etk> cool thanks IdleOne, everything is back to normal and working
[04:18] <supramindix> I have not "/dev/dsp", I do? my sound works perfect, I have "/dev/snd/*" but none work for me. is for a program that needs whether or audio device.
[04:19] <etk> also thanks sere
[04:20] <sere> etk: your welcome.. glad you got it working
[04:20] <supramindix> I'm tired of searching the internet and I can not find the solution.
[04:20] <KickStarRabbit> so I got my a release of ubunto on my labtop
[04:20] <KickStarRabbit> what happened to x-windows?
[04:20] <KickStarRabbit> the gui is not what I remember
[04:21] <supramindix> plis
[04:21] <Tex_Nick> Average_Noxian_:  basically what you would want to do for a TOTALLY new install ... boot with a live usb or cd/dvd and do a manual install ... from there delete all partitions ... and continue from there ... that's assuming it DOESN'Y have another OS installed !!!
[04:22] <supramindix> how do I create /dev/dsp? or device can replace?
[04:22] <KickStarRabbit> so is there another version of ubunto I need for x-windows
[04:23] <sere> supramindix: modprobe snd-pcm-oss
[04:24] <TheLordOfTime> in a default installation, does Ubuntu separate the /home, /swap, and / partitions automatically in a default install to a drive (without customized partitioning)?
[04:24] <TheLordOfTime> last i checked it did not
[04:24]  * TheLordOfTime is trying to confirm facts
[04:24] <supramindix> sere, FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found.
[04:25] <somsip> TheLordOfTime: the last time I sued it, it was /swap, and / and that was it, by default
[04:25] <somsip> *used
[04:25] <TheLordOfTime> somsip:  that's what i thought
[04:25] <kostkon> supramindix, try to emulate it with padsp:  padsp executable_of_application_here
[04:28] <supramindix> seems to have accepted.
[04:28] <kostkon> supramindix, ;)
[04:30] <supramindix> kostkon, very thanks! already works!
[04:30] <kostkon> supramindix, nice
[04:38] <Charcoalcat> When I let my cursor sit, it starts filling up with orange, and then clicks on whatever it's on. If I move the cursor, the glow stops. How do I turn this off? It keeps clicking on everything.
[04:41] <acerimmer> Charcoalcat, sounds like a hardware issue.  try a different mouse.
[04:42] <Charcoalcat> ... it stopped on its own?
[04:42] <Charcoalcat> acerimmer thanks anyway!
[04:42] <sere> Charcoalcat: i believe it has something to do with compiz
[04:44] <Charcoalcat> Oh no it started again. I didn't do anything except open a new tab.
[04:44] <sere> Charcoalcat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyZzl1FUVNg : this is how to activate it, so just do the opisite :)
[04:44] <Charcoalcat> sere thank you, I'll try that!
[04:45] <sere> Charcoalcat: your welcome, good luck!
[04:54] <switching> help!! I installed GNOME3 on ubuntu and now nothing appears on the desktop and i can't select anything
[04:57] <Charcoalcat> sere: The video is something else! The video shows you how to make shapes rotate around your cursor when you press a key combination. Mine looks like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16623407/screenshots/orangeclick.png
[04:57] <tones> sere how did you install it?
[04:57] <Dr_willis> switching,  common test.. try making a new user, see if they work. also clarify to the channel your version of ubuntu and what you installed exactly.
[04:58] <Charcoalcat> It's white at first, but then turns orange starting at the tip and going down! Then clicks when it's fully orange like the screenshot. The clicking is the important part.
[04:58] <Dr_willis> Charcoalcat,  sounds like some accessability feature.
[04:59] <mib_pfs> Is there a way to add a /boot partition before my / partition?
[04:59] <Charcoalcat> Dr_willis: Oh, that was it! I found it in Universal Access! Thanks!
[05:00] <Dr_willis> mib_pfs,  resize your / if its at the start of the drive and shrink it down from the front
[05:00] <Dr_willis> make a new partion then mount it to /boot/
[05:00] <switching> dr_willis thanks, but i just needed to turn something on in gnome-tweak
[05:00] <Dr_willis> why do you need a /boot/ parttion?
[05:00] <mib_pfs> Was going to experiment with different distros
[05:00] <Dr_willis> switching,  cant say i really have needed to use that tool in ages.
[05:01] <switching> dr_willis :P
[05:01] <mib_pfs> Wont resizing my / partition from the front cause data to be lost?
[05:01] <Dr_willis> mib_pfs,  i dont really see why you need a seperate /boot/ partition.
[05:01] <Dr_willis> 'resize' = gparted can resize and keep data intact
[05:01] <switching> my more important problem is that after installing GNOME, when i switch back to unity, the close button is on the right
[05:01] <Dr_willis> switching,  thats a theme setting for the most part these days. (its tweakable by various tools)
[05:01] <Dr_willis> the themes just have a script i recall that sets it to the other side,
[05:02] <Dr_willis> if you want it moved.. move it back. ;)
[05:02] <Dr_willis> !controls
[05:02] <switching> dr_willis hmm, i will look, thanks
[05:03] <Dr_willis> they should just put it in the middle. ;)
[05:03] <switching> hahahaha
[05:03] <switching> i found it in unity tweak though, thanks for your help
[05:09] <chaudhary> Hi, What is the order in which apt-get looks for proxies ( in apt.conf, $http_proxy, DIRECT etc. )
[05:13] <toobluesc> Anyone know when upstart unmounts the filesystems during reboot/shutdown ?
[05:13] <toobluesc> I need to add a task that runs after a filesystem is unmounted
[05:27] <Zelbinian> So, I have a question, but I'm not sure where to start.... basically, my Windows 7 registry ate itself this morning. Tried to install Mint a couple times... that was just not working out at all, couldn't even boot. And now right away things have been a little quirky in Ubunutu. How do I go about checking if I have hardware/driver issues?
[05:28] <MathCubes> Can some one help me get a diver?
[05:29] <MathCubes> Intel® Sandybridge Mobile
[05:29] <MathCubes> For viedo card
[05:29] <k1l_> MathCubes: ubuntu already should ship and use the right driver
[05:30] <MathCubes> well it is not because I can't play any games
[05:30] <k1l_> with steam?
[05:30] <nightfly> you might be expecting too much of your gpu
[05:30] <MathCubes> that I got 100 fps under winblows with ubuntu i got 2 or 3 fps
[05:31] <MathCubes> humm sounds to me it is the diver
[05:32] <Tex_Nick> Zelbinian:  your problems with the Win 7 registry & Ubuntu Mint would be NOT at all related ... almost sounds like you have a hardware issue
[05:32] <MathCubes> well I use X.org diver
[05:33] <wauf> Need advice. I have a usb drive which accidentally got targed by tool to make a bootable usb drive. The drive was 500gb. Now the drive reads 1.2gb. I need to recover the data. whats the best tool for this job?
[05:34] <sere> MathCubes: sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver
[05:35] <MathCubes> @sere i965-va-driver is already the newest version. The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:   lib32asound2 lib32z1 libc6-i386 Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 23 not upgraded.
[05:35] <MathCubes> I have a Intel Core i5 Processor
[05:36] <sere> MathCubes: oh sorry i dunno then.. i only have the basic intel driver installed since my card sucks.. :x
[05:37] <MathCubes> okay I want to play some games I get better fps on my netbook then on here. 8 gb of ram...
[05:37] <sere> MathCubes: how can you play videos? have you done any benchmark test?
[05:37] <MathCubes> just fine for 480 p
[05:37] <MathCubes> and 720 p some what if it isn't game like
[05:37] <sere> MathCubes: are you trying to play steam games?
[05:37] <MathCubes> on Windows 1024 p Just fine
[05:38] <MathCubes> yep
[05:38] <MathCubes> http://feedback.wildfiregames.com/report/opengl/device/Intel(R)%20Sandybridge%20Mobile
[05:38] <sere> MathCubes: well if 720p is giving you trouble then i would say its software / driver issue
[05:39] <MathCubes> I know it is since with a game like Xonotic I get 3 or 4 fps on Windows like 60 or more fps
[05:40] <MathCubes> @Sere I know it is since with a game like Xonotic I get 3 or 4 fps on Windows like 60 or more fps
[05:41] <MathCubes> @sere I get just fine fps until 3 min into the game and them it drop down to 3 fps or so
[05:43] <sere> MathCubes: that it strange.. especially if it works for three minutes.. did you check your /var/log/ maybe something stopped working?
[05:43] <Tex_Nick> MathCubes: don't know what distro or dersktop enviornment you're running ... if you can access "System Testing" it will provide a lot of info ... WARNING it can take a lot of time to run
[05:43] <MathCubes> even on openbox
[05:44] <MathCubes> @Tex_Nick How do i do that?
[05:45] <tr0n> sjd_zeus: dont irc as root
[05:46] <Tex_Nick> MathCubes : for my enviornment it's in "System Tools/Administration/System Testing"
[05:47] <MathCubes> okay doing it
[05:47] <Tex_Nick> MathCubes: it can be a LONG drawn out procedure though
[05:47] <MathCubes> okay
[06:00] <talltimber> saturday 10am?

[06:01] <MathCubes> Is anyone helping me
[06:08] <nightfly> resluts...
[06:09] <acerimmer> nightfly, re-sluts?
[06:09] <nightfly> typo a few lines back
[06:09] <nightfly> thought it was silly
[06:10] <Equinox3> is there any way to optimize tcp on ubuntu
[06:10] <Equinox3> packets and window size
[06:11] <Equinox3> the wifi seems really slow than on windows
[06:12] <Jordan_U> Equinox3: You can change the window size and other parameters, but first, is this a Wireless N network and do the drivers for your card support the N capability?
[06:13] <Equinox3> nope this is a alfa b/g awush adapter Jordan_U
[06:14] <Equinox3> Alfa AWUS036H

[07:02] <humboldt> using xubuntu... just installed... trying to find scripts / tutorials for modifying xcfe4-notes to be more like tomboy-notes.... also hoping to fix cmdln to use 'colours' similar to de-commenting terminal / cmdln in typical ubuntu

[07:04] <bazhang_> !eolupgrades | allanx0
[07:06] <histo> Duke_: test sound, network, video etc... rejoice
[07:07] <histo> humboldt: why not just use tomboy-notes ??? and just grab a .bashrc from ubuntu
[07:07] <Duke_> histo: I meant more like what apps/programs should I get, or what customization should I go through :p
[07:07] <allanx0> bazhang_ thanks i appreciate it
[07:09] <histo> Duke_: depends on what you are going to be doing.

[07:18] <coy> histo: i must remove directory and then rebuild client, like sudo ltsp-build-client --arch i386
[07:19] <mg_> Hi! I was trying to make my second display work (it lagged like hell) by installing nvidia-current drivers, but this broke stuff. Unity does no longer work (only wallpaper shows), and I am unable to enable opengl (and thus unity) in ccsm. How do I reenable nouveau drivers or properly install nvidia drivers?
[07:20] <histo> coy: yes

[07:21] <coy> histo: thanks.. i will try it..
[07:21] <seriously_random> I want to watch wwdc apple keynote 2013 https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/apple-keynotes/id275834665 <-- is it possible?
[07:21] <histo> coy: backup /opt/blah/whatever if you need anythign there
[07:21] <histo> seriously_random: just watch on youtube.
[07:21] <seriously_random> histo, link?
[07:22] <histo> seriously_random: http://www.youtube.com
[07:22] <histo> seriously_random: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=apple+keynote&page=&utm_source=opensearch
[07:23] <seriously_random> histo, thanks. Though it's annoying to find a full upload on youtube
[07:24] <coy> histo: oke..
[07:24] <histo> seriously_random: Yeah I had to search for apple keynote  that was annoying
[07:25] <seriously_random> histo, found the full version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxe_0-rttIw (I think)
[07:26] <Tex_Nick> seriously_random:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzUH9PJA1Ro ... if you have downloadhelper installed in firefox, you can easilly download it too ;-)
[07:27] <seriously_random> Tex_Nick, I've got them all. Flashgot, youtube-dl, ....
[07:27] <seriously_random> Tex_Nick, however getting this to work in ubuntu: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/apple-keynotes/id275834665 would be awesome
[07:30] <Tex_Nick> seriously_random:  guess i don't understand your issue ... what histo posted looked good to me ;-)
[07:32] <seriously_random> Tex_Nick, what you don't understand? I could try to explain better.
[07:33] <corvat> ciao
[07:33] <corvat> list
[07:34] <Tex_Nick> seriously_random: i think the link you find on itunes will be the same link you find on YouTube ???
[07:35] <histo> seriously_random: Does youtube currently work for you or not?
[07:35] <seriously_random> Tex_Nick, probably itunes has slightly better quality
[07:35] <histo> seriously_random: well you can't run itunes in linux
[07:36] <histo> seriously_random: here's the hd version on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wxe_0-rttIw
[07:37] <seriously_random> histo, http://i.imgur.com/RzMwbIk.png
[07:38] <Tex_Nick> seriously_random: what histo just posted is 1080p ... jeeze that's GREAT !!!\
[07:38] <seriously_random> Tex_Nick, well. Imagine if full version was only available at itunes link I posted.
[07:39] <histo> seriously_random: well. it's not
[07:39] <seriously_random> ok you win
[07:39] <Tex_Nick> ok this is getting to be off-toppic
[07:39] <histo> seriously_random: afaik the only way to get itunes working in linux is to use a windows vm
[07:39] <summit> .
[07:40] <seriously_random> histo, I have used gnome-mplayer for quicktime in the past. Thought perhaps this itunes protocol is just as simple
[07:41] <histo> seriously_random: the links I have just take you to an itunes download page.
[07:41] <Kion> is there any program to manage an Ipad from Ubuntu?
[07:41] <jellow> you can install itunes in wine but you can't sync with apple products
[07:42] <histo> !ipad | Kion
[07:42] <histo> !ipod | Kion
[07:43] <Kion> Thanks it is not for me, but for a friend that If I help him with this he will get rid of Windows for good and use Ubuntu
[07:44] <Tex_Nick> Kion : unfortunately i don't use apple products ( i love them though ) doesn't the Ipad support SSH ... is so you could SSH into the Ipad and probably do a lot ???
[07:45] <histo> Kion: Unfortunately if he is really reliant on itunes and wanted to switch to linux he would still need a windows vm at the least to use itunes
[07:46] <jellow> It is ptobally more sane to stick with windows due to apples proprietary nature
[07:46] <Kion> Tex_Nick: Probbably bvia ssh, that makes sense, but he is not very technology oriented..
[07:46] <histo> Kion: well you could use scp if ssh is supported.
[07:46] <Kion> For me, I just dont use any apple stuff
[07:47] <Kion> histo: I will tell him to give ssh a try, maybe that is the solution
[07:48] <histo> Kion: well you can get him some graphical apps for copying files back and forth etc.. but he will not be able to backup etc.. like itunes but everything is cloud based now. Why would he even need to plug the iPad into a computer?
[07:48] <Jordan_U> Kion: Try the page that ubottu linked to before jailbreaking and using ssh. That sounds highly suboptimal, especially for a new Ubuntu user.
[07:48]  * histo is confused why an iPad even needs to be plugged into a computer.
[07:49] <jellow> Kion: I've ssh'ed into my ipod touch and all the music names were hashed , realy was not practical.
[07:49] <alocer> so we can ssh into an android phone ? 0.O i didnt know that wow
[07:49] <Kion> jellow Yes, I am looking at them now
[07:50] <histo> alocer: with a proper app installed. You can even have your android phone be an ssh server
[07:50] <Tex_Nick> are we talking about an ipod or ipad ?
[07:50] <Kion> Is the Ubuntu OS for phones ready?
[07:50] <histo> !phone | Kion
[07:50] <Kion> I would love to install it on my Samsung S3
[07:50] <alocer> lovely histo
[07:50] <histo> Kion: bascially it's not ready
[07:50] <k1l_> Kion: no its not ready, still in development. for details see #ubuntu-touch
[07:51] <Kion> Ok thanks, cant wait !
[07:55] <Ogham> Hi all, just hit a bug with /boot being full when doing the latest update to 3.8.0-25 - Is there a manual solution?
[07:55] <zetheroo> why is it that copying large files to a USB flash drive is so extremely slow?
[07:57] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo: are you using usb2 or usb3 ?
[07:57] <zetheroo> Tex_Nick: USB2
[07:59] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo: have a look at the following link ... it will give you USB Specifications ... compare them to the device you're coppying from ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus
[07:59] <Ogham> Is there a recommended way to remove old kernels?
[07:59] <emx> i want to access my encrypted home from a non-ubuntu linux. where do i find my home folder?
[08:01] <Jordan_U> Ogham: Remove their kernel packages.
[08:01] <summit> what's everyones thought on Easystroke Gesture Recognition with ubuntu?
[08:01] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo:  also keep inmind that your motherboard usb interface needs to be at least usb2 compliant ... if it's legacy usb, it's gonna be SLOW
[08:01] <Ogham> Jordan_U: Are there further actions required such as grub updates?
[08:01] <Jordan_U> Ogham: Nope, that's all done automagically :)
[08:02] <Ogham> Jordan_U: ah excellent, been a while since I used ubuntu! (Used to BSD) - So that is literally it, purge the packages and reboot?>
[08:02] <zetheroo> Tex_Nick: I don't understand ... this is not an issue with my hardware since with Windows or older Ubuntu releases this issue was non-existent
[08:02] <jamescarr> Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
[08:03] <zetheroo> Tex_Nick: This has only been occurring with the last 2 or so releases of Ubuntu  - and on all my machines here and at work!
[08:04] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo:  ahh ok ... sorry sir i don't know what that issue might be ... is it witgh only one usb stick ?
[08:04] <darkapp> hey is there a way to partition my harddrive, with an os already on it?
[08:04] <Jordan_U> Ogham: Yup, and of course you don't need to reboot immediately, but you can if you want to confirm that everything worked as expected.
[08:04] <darkapp> before installing a new one
[08:05] <zetheroo> Tex_Nick: no, just generally copying large files to USB flash drives takes ages ... it starts off fast and then slows to a crawl
[08:06] <Jordan_U> darkapp: Yes. That's actually a very common thing for users to do to get a dual boot, and Ubuntu's installer handles it quite well.
[08:06] <darkapp> i mean before the new os is installed
[08:06] <rojie1> iMdapt
[08:06] <Ogham> Jordan_U: great thanks, just apt-get purged 3 old ones, took the -extras with em.. and seemed to finish updating the new 3.8.0-25 kernel that failed to install earlier due to lack of space in /boot!
[08:07] <Jordan_U> Ogham: You're welcome.
[08:08] <darkapp> Jordan_U: is there a way to partition without installing a new os
[08:08] <Jordan_U> darkapp: Yes, you can use GParted or other tools for partitioning.
[08:08] <darkapp> apt-get install gparted?
[08:08] <pelmen> Non on is in ubuntu-arm and ubuntu-boot so I have to ask here... Anyone can help me debug boot on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1? :) The very same kernel and initramfs boot Debian and Kali Linux but not Ubuntu which just stops somewhere and nothing happens
[08:08] <Jordan_U> darkapp: It's included by default in Ubuntu LiveDVD/USBs.
[08:09] <darkapp> so im on mint right now
[08:09] <darkapp> its on my computer?
[08:09] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo: i could do some searching ... what distros are you using ?
[08:10] <zetheroo> Tex_Nick: just Ubuntu 12.04 and up
[08:10] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo:  what transfer rates are you getting at the beginning & end ?
[08:11] <darkapp> ok got it
[08:11] <darkapp> thanx Jordan_U
[08:11] <darkapp> apreciate the help
[08:11] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo:  and what file sizes
[08:13] <zetheroo> Tex_Nick: transfer starts at about 25MB/sec and end at about 1MB/sec ... file size is anything from 500MB and up ...
[08:15] <Ogham> Jordan_U: Thanks again! That was very 'automated'! Survived reboot, and previously failed 3.8.0-25 has been installed! :)
[08:15] <Ogham> Crazy bug though!
[08:15] <darkapp> ok Jordan_U is there anyway to partition encrypted harddrives
[08:16] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo: ok i'm looking now ... no promises though ... ask your question every 10 minutes or so, providing all those details ... i'll report back in a few minutes
[08:16] <darkapp> or unencrypt my current one
[08:16] <zetheroo> Tex_Nick: no worries . thanks
[08:22] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo: man i've done a google search on "ubuntu 12.04 usb file copy slow" i find a LOT of links describing your problem ... it almost looks like a common problem ... i've just always expected usb copies to be kinda slow
[08:24] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo:  keep asking here though you'll eventually find someone with a GOOD answer
[08:24] <zetheroo> Tex_Nick: yes, same here ... I have seen a lot of people having this type of issue .. but seems there is no straightforward solution
[08:25] <Tex_Nick> zetheroo:  that's kinda what i saw in reading the first 4 search resultas
[08:25] <Tex_Nick> results^
[08:25] <splinter701> have you tried benchmarking your usb drive with 'disk utility' (disks in 13.04)?
[08:26] <Guest19405> hi all, any masta-hacka in subject ubuntu server @ amazon ec2 ? have some problems with last official 13.04 image
[08:27] <Guest19405> i think it's a bug, want to confirm it before submitting on launchpad
[08:28] <histo> !details | Guest19405
[08:29] <adnauseam> hello - did anyone here install a zotero server by any chance ?
[08:31] <histo> !anyone | adnauseam
[08:33] <Guest19405> this describes problem: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/214934 one difference: doing the same tests on 13.04, in short: ubuntu server doesn't gracefully detatch ebs volume, when i force volume to detach from AWS console, there is a lot of traces in dmesg
[08:36] <Guest19405> this problem stop us from using ubuntu @ec2, we need mdraid for our db
[08:36] <adnauseam> ubottu: the problem is there's little to no documentation. i don't know where to exactly begin. which is why i don't know what to ask about. i'd like it if i found someone who's installed a zotero server to know exactly what they've done - because i'm somewhat at a loss personally.
[08:39] <Guest19405> histo: this describes problem: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/214934 one difference: doing the same tests on 13.04, in short: ubuntu server  doesn't gracefully detatch ebs volume, when i force volume to detach from AWS console, there is a lot of traces in dmesg
[08:40] <alocer> i just cant get it. i have wasted too much time on this already i m tired of this. wireless speed on ubuntu is half of window$ or Fedora. its annoying.
[08:40] <alocer> no packet loss. no anything. WHY !!!!
[08:43] <splinter701> could it be a driver issue? Is your NIC supported by ubuntu?
[08:44] <alocer> splinter701, yes it is
[08:44] <rojie> alocer: hmm
[08:45] <splinter701> hmm indeed
[08:45] <splinter701> what sort of measurement tools are you using? The same tools using the same measurement units for each OS?
[08:45] <adnauseam> alocer: sounds like a frequency issue - try specifying a channel that;s not being used up as the one you're on right now
[08:46] <histo> Guest19405: appears to be a bug
[08:46] <alocer> splinter701, yes same tools :(
[08:47] <alocer> adnauseam, the thing is i have tried that too no diff
[08:47] <adnauseam> alocer: siwtch to modified drivers for your card
[08:48] <alocer> adnauseam, is there any? and how ? using ndiswrapper ?
[08:48] <adnauseam> alocer: what's your model ?
[08:49] <splinter701> what tool are you using to test network speed?
[08:49] <adnauseam> alocer: if you know which drivers you're using - you can find its modified version if it exists. also how are you measuring this ?
[08:50] <alocer> usual internet work .. downloads ... most of the time wget with same options ... i m curious becuz its diffrente between ubuntu and fedora :-|
[08:50] <Josh> Has anybody used unetbootin here?
[08:51] <splinter701> josh, i've used it
[08:52] <histo> !anyone | jos
[08:52] <histo> Josh: ^^^^^
[08:52] <alocer> adnauseam, splinter701 even copying file between phone and os in wifi ...
[08:54] <histo> alocer: it must be the module that is the difference in fedora vs ubuntu
[08:54] <histo> alocer: what chipset is your card?
[08:55] <alocer> histo, the module is based on kernel . and fedora is using the same module . so it should be that i m hallucinating ?
[08:56] <alocer> histo, Atheros Communications Inc. AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
[08:57] <histo> alocer: well then perhaps it's a dns issue. I would check your routes out both and see if you can determine the issue.
[08:58] <alocer> histo, how much time a dns issue will waste , more than 5 seconds ?
[08:58] <Mrdanish> hi to all
[08:58] <splinter701> alocer, how many times have you tested this issue? It would need to be more than a few times for each OS
[08:58] <Mrdanish> anyone from pakistan?
[08:59] <jatt> !urdu
[08:59] <rojie> Mrdanish: 。。
[08:59] <gordonjcp> no, but there are a couple of good Pakistani restaurants I eat at

[09:27] <user8382> Problem with gsynaptics (touch pad controls).  It refuses to disable touchpad tapping, although I have "Disable tapping" checked.  I have to disable tapping and scrolling together, just to disable the tapping, which means I'm going to lose webpage scrolling.
[09:27] <histo> horse: you could also just resize other partitions currently there and expand one. The choice is yours.
[09:27] <hd5770> mark_ mkdir sss

[09:29] <histo> mark_: mv somefile .somedirectory/
[09:29] <histo> mark_: if the directory is there you can move a  file to it.

[09:40] <emr> i just installed mysql-server, well prompt didnt ask root password, whats my mysql root pwd?
[09:40] <llutz> sahar: if you would need lowlatency (for data-/music-/video-processing), you would know it
[09:40] <llutz> sahar: for general purposes, the generic does fine
[09:41] <Tex_Nick> ActionParsnip: TY ^5

[09:48] <jnhghy> an go with this issue?
[09:48] <horrow_> sry my english is bad
[09:49] <sahar> horrow_: where are you from?
[09:49] <horrow_> bulgaria
[09:50] <sahar> my English is bad too
[09:50] <mac_> can someone please explain me, why i can not run gparted from a app launcher? but i need to go to terminal??
[09:50] <mac_> stop complaining.. use google or go to scool
[09:51] <horrow_> sahar i can send u a screenshot to understand what i mean
[09:51] <sahar> hahaha,,, you right
[09:51] <DJones> !google | mac_
[09:51] <sahar> horrow_,  but im not the expert
[09:51] <mac_> DJones... he did not ask..
[09:52] <mac_> he was complaining
[09:53] <jnhghy> mac_ you need to be root to run gparted
[09:53] <mac_> i know, thank u
[09:53] <mac_> the problem is... i think some index is broken?
[09:54] <splinter701> i can launch gparted through synapse with no problems
[09:54] <splinter701> what happens when you try that?
[09:54] <mac_> i cant run assault cube...
[09:54] <mac_> cant run virtual mashineS...
[09:54] <splinter701> ok
[09:55] <mac_> synapse? like ubuntu software center?
[09:55] <splinter701> synapse is an application you can get from the software centre
[09:56] <splinter701> its like windows start menu search
[09:56] <splinter701> you open it up with a hot key
[09:56] <mac_> aha.. no more hot keys.. please
[09:56] <splinter701> then type your app name (or the first couple of letters)
[09:56] <mac_> ctrl alt t aint working in kde
[09:56] <Tex_Nick> DJones : google-fu ... i love that ... someone needs to infuse ubottu with google-fu ???
[09:57] <mac_> not just that.. ubotto need mind update
[09:57] <splinter701> you may need to go to your keyboard shortcut settings
[09:57] <DJones> horrow: PIdgin has its own IRC support channel, as you're not getting a reply here, it may be worth asking in #pidgin (type /join #pidgin) If you need support in your own language, you could also join #ubuntu-bg which is the Ubuntu channel with support in Bulgarian
[09:57] <horrow> DJones, ok thx
[09:58] <horrow> 2 mans in my language channel haha
[09:59] <splinter701> i just looked back, i was afk when you asked horrow
[09:59] <mac_> splinter701.. my keyboard is just ok right now.. i finaly manage to disable all key bindings... its hard to stay normal if my stupid brother goes by, and sudently start smashing my keyboard..
[09:59] <definity> How would i find out waht filesystem a usb stick is in terminal?
[10:00] <auronandace> definity: what is the output of mount
[10:00] <splinter701> horrow go to the account, select "modify account" then go to "user options" and set your local alias, that will appear instead of that long string
[10:00] <horrow> splinter701: ok ill try now thx for info
[10:00] <definity> it jsut says data
[10:01] <h22> guys, html5 videos on my computer seem to have yellow spots/"snow" on them.. I also get them on flash videos if I enable chrome's flash plugin.
[10:01] <h22> how do I solve this?
[10:01] <splinter701> i gotta go now
[10:01] <mac_> can any1 help me out with launching app by icons and not running its name in terminal
[10:02] <Iszak> How can I have a PHP script run automatically in ubuntu 12.04 headless?
[10:02] <sahar> mac_: maybe you must reinstall your operating system..
[10:02] <horrow> splinter701
[10:03] <horrow> i dont have "user options"
[10:03] <horrow> they are set correctly
[10:03] <mac_> sahar stop thinking that way
[10:03] <DJones> mac_: This link may help you creating a launcher icon https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles hopefully it'll help anyway
[10:04] <mac_> oh,... so sweeet, realy... (totaly sarcastic)
[10:04] <mac_> i think some Index has awaked with mistake :/
[10:05] <Ben64> mac_: whats with the attitude? DJones gave you a great method to create launchers
[10:05] <mac_> yes... launchers... i dont need launchers..
 can any1 help me out with launching app by icons and not running its name in terminal
[10:06] <Ben64> thats what you described
[10:06] <mac_> i asked for help over fixing index of app too.. no response
[10:06] <mac_> i haved to be bitchy
[10:06] <h22> like this is paid service?
[10:06] <mac_> sorry
[10:08] <Ben64> mac_: you've been in here for 81 minutes, and all I see you saying is how to launch an application, therefore, you need a launcher
[10:09] <h22> Need some help with video drivers here.. :| Yellow "snow" on all my videos (flash and non-flash) on chrome.
[10:10] <mac_> ok... i am allready few days walking arround, google-fuing :), pulling my bear out.. aint helping...
[10:10] <mac_> ben64, possible on prvt?
[10:10] <h22> mac_ What exactly is your question?
[10:11] <h22> _launch an application_ from where?
[10:12] <mac_> if i try to log-in in ubuntu with gnome shell.. that one did some kind of fall-back
[10:12] <mac_> and it looks like a ubunutu 2d
[10:13] <Ben64> mac_: focus on one thing at a time
[10:13] <mac_> Q? what is wrong with my ubuntu 12.04, that i cant run some app?
[10:13] <Ben64> h22: do they work in firefox?
[10:14] <h22> flash = yes, html5 videos = no
[10:14] <Ben64> well firefox doesn't support a whole lot of html5 video stuff yet
[10:15] <h22> Ben64: I believe the yellow spots on flash videos and those on html5 videos are unrelated.. and I've found that using a older flash plugin solves the problem for flash videos.. but html5 videos are still messy
[10:16] <h22> And firefox by default uses the older flash plugin.
[10:16] <Ben64> well chrome comes with its own, pepper based flash plugin
[10:16] <Ben64> adobe stopped making flash for linux
[10:16] <mac_> What is wrong with my ubuntu 12.04 lts, that i cant run some app?
[10:16] <h22> Ben64: Yes, Disabling that solves the problem for flash videos.
[10:16] <Ben64> !details | mac_
[10:17] <mac_> i am running a ubuntu 12.04 lts, and i cant run some app.. i am a damn newb..
[10:17] <mac_> better?
[10:18] <qursk> guys after searching on web
[10:18] <Ben64> mac_: what app, whats the error?!
[10:18] <qursk> i couldnt get the idea of PPA
[10:18] <Ben64> mac_: we cannot read your mind
[10:18] <mac_> i know...
[10:18] <qursk> what is it or any resources will be appreciated
[10:18] <Ben64> !ppa | qursk

[10:19] <h22> qursk: Thirdparty devs use ppa to channel updates to their apps
[10:19] <Ben64> !repo | qursk
[10:19] <mac_> only if run in terminal i can run some of installed apps, progs...
[10:19] <h22> qursk: repos are the place where you download the software from
[10:21] <Ben64> mac_: gparted should be in the menu, what happens when you click it?
[10:21] <mac_>  but on a mause click, running indicator starts.. but.. thats all... i needet gparted, and after a password check... nothing happens
[10:21] <Ben64> yeah you said that, could you explain it better
[10:22] <mac_> nothing visual is happening after given password?
[10:22] <mac_> i realy dont know, how precise shell i go over this...
[10:23] <Ben64> mac_: open up a terminal and type "gparted-pkexec"
[10:23] <mac_> am... i have 6 terminals... is any1 ok?
[10:23] <Ben64> yes
[10:24] <mac_> ben???
[10:24] <Josh> So, I burned a CD with the iso of 64 bit ubuntu
[10:24] <Josh> On desktop it works fine
[10:24] <mac_> please check prvt msg
[10:24] <Josh> But on laptop, it says, "error: can't read file"
[10:24] <Josh> Any idea whats up?
[10:25] <h22> Josh: your laptop's 64 too?
[10:25] <Josh> Yes.
[10:25] <Ben64> mac_: what happens if you do "echo $DISPLAY"
[10:25] <Josh> Its intel i5 3rd generation 64 Bit
[10:25] <mac_> :0
[10:25] <mac_> ??
[10:25] <mac_> smiley shows?
[10:26] <Ben64> now...  Index brocken
[10:30] <gotwig> x
[10:30] <ezra-s> :P
[10:31] <ezra-s> dopie, check chown --help or man chown for further details
[10:31] <mac_> so.. definitely i need to reinstall the whole ubuntu?
[10:31] <Josh> I had to disable UEFI boot
[10:31] <Josh> and it worked.
[10:32] <dopie> drwxrwxr-x 2 pares101 sudo     4096 Jun 17 08:41 releases
[10:32] <Josh> Anyone has any idea what UEFI boot is?
[10:32] <Josh> I tried to read on Wikipedia
[10:32] <Josh> Went bit over my head when I skimmed through.
[10:32] <Ben64> mac_: how did you get to x?
[10:32] <mac_> x?
[10:33] <Ben64> mac_: the graphical interface
[10:34] <mac_> same as with MS windows ? it start-up on boot
[10:35] <Ben64> reinstalling would probably be easier than figuring out what is the problem
[10:35] <mac_> i put gnome enviorment.. but.. it kicked me to failsafe.. and my gnome 3 looks like ubuntu 2d
[10:35] <qursk> guys is there any redhack channel ?
[10:35] <qursk> cause 'm having an issue for instlaling on virtualbox
[10:36] <DJones> qursk: redhack? Was that meant to be redhat?
[10:36] <h22> guys, I need to permanently add a flag to an app.. How do I do that?
[10:37] <DJones> qursk: If it was meant to be redhat, try #rhel on freenode
[10:38] <mark_> mark@mark-VirtualBox:~$ mv 59586a067f4.tar.bz2 .ssh mv: cannot move `59586a067f4.tar.bz2' to `.ssh/59586a067.tar.bz2': Permission denied ... pplease help
[10:39] <Znoosey> mark_, when in doubt, sudo
[10:39] <DJones> mark_: Is the .ssh folder in your root directory, or is it a folder in your /home folder
[10:40] <DJones> mark_: Depending on which it is, you'll need to change the command you're using
[10:40] <qursk> thank you guys !
[10:42] <mac_> ben?
[10:43] <lag> Any udisk pros around?
[10:43] <Tex_Nick> I have my grandkids pc (13.04) setup to bypass grub & lightdm ( just login to their desktop on start-up ) I also have "Real VNC" set to run in "Startup Applications" so I can vnc into that box to see what they are doing ... but mainly to update their system ... I would prefer to NOT have "Real VNC" running all the time ... i'm able to SSH into that box though ... am having problems starting "Real VNC" under SSH ... would kinda like to s
[10:43] <Tex_Nick> ee the desktop (gui)
[10:43] <lag> Or udisks, I think I should say
[10:44] <mac_> if i install ubuntu 12.04 lts.. on 1 computer... can it be somehow copied to another comp? l
[10:44] <qursk> yeah
[10:44] <qursk> im having probvlems by finding
[10:44] <qursk> single iso files too
[10:44] <qursk> x86 iso files of rhel
[10:45] <mark_> Djones: home folder..but you can please tell for both root also
[10:46] <DJones> mark_:  Try mv 59586a067f4.tar.bz2 ~/.ssh to copy the file into your .ssh folder in your home directory
[10:47] <DJones> mark_: If you just want to copy (rather than move the file) use 'cp' rather than 'mv'
[10:49] <mark_> Djones :mark@mark-VirtualBox:~$  mkdir .ssh mkdir: cannot create directory
[10:52] <mark_> Djones :  i think you miss my question
[10:55] <h22> where on the filesystem can I find all the installed apps?
[10:55] <h22> ^ the applications that are launch-able, from the gnome-shell
[10:57] <bipul> Just use this command in terminal  which <Name of file> You will know the position of files.
[10:57] <bipul> h22,  Just use this command in terminal  which <Name of file> You will know the position of files.
[10:58] <h22> ^ I don't understand that.. but I was looking for all the .desktop files.
[11:00] <chiliblue> hi, my notebook ethernet adapter isn't showing up... not there in the dmesg log or lspci.
[11:03] <chiliblue> show the ethernet controller show up with lspci even if there is no module for it?
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> chiliblue: try:  sudo lshw -C network
[11:06] <leehambley> hi all, I'm looking for a way to stop apache2,samba and netatalk starting when installed via apt, I keep running into this: http://lifeonubuntu.com/how-to-prevent-server-daemons-from-starting-during-apt-get-install/ solution, and can't help thinking "that's an ugly hack" - but I also can't find much information on how to properly use policy-rc.d
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> leehambley: i believe in the postinst, they are started...
[11:07] <jrib> leehambley: zless /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.policy-rc.d.gz   I believe is the documentation you seek
[11:07] <leehambley> ActionParsnip: right, and invoke-rc.d should consult /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d if it exists
[11:07] <leehambley> sure jrib: I can create a script there that accepts those options, and if apache2/nginx/samba./netatalk are listed, return 105 or similar… but that documentation also reads "MUST BE MANAGED BY THE ALTERNATIVES SYSTEM"
[11:08] <leehambley> so it looks like I'd be doing something pretty risky if I just drop a ruby/bash script in there?
[11:08] <jrib> leehambley: ... by any package providing it
[11:08] <leehambley> fair call… so I can drop something that just exits with the code if arg matches
[11:09] <leehambley> thanks for the sanity check jrib
[11:09] <jrib> leehambley: you can see a more authoritative document pointing to policy-rc.d here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch3.en.html (search for policy-rc.d)
[11:10] <neibors> Hi all!  I need help in one problem: when I installed Ubuntu I formated HDD (to 2 parts). First parts I formated for using in ubuntu, second...well... I'm skipped the hard drive marking ... How i can now mark second part of HDD for using in ubuntu?
[11:10] <leehambley> ahh: invoke-rc.d support is mandatory in Debian, which means that for Debian 4.0 etch and later releases you can write a policy-rc.d file that forbids starting new daemons before you configure them. Although no such scripts are packaged yet, they are quite simple to write. See policyrcd-script-zg2.
[11:10] <leehambley> thanks again
[11:11] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> neibors: leave it unpartitioned and the installer will see the free space and install to it (is that what you mean?)
[11:11] <jrib> leehambley: no problem
[11:15] <Tex_Nick> if i can SSH into a box on my LAN ... shouldn't it be easy to start the "Real VNC Server" usr/bin/vncserverui ???
[11:15] <MOUD> Hey all
[11:15] <juliustemp> test
[11:16] <MOUD> How can I install ubuntu on a flash drive?
[11:17] <neibors> ActionParsnip, Hmm... How I can launch installer for this? I can't see free space in my system. Where I can see all unmarked space?
[11:17] <neibors> MOUD, Live-USB or for install?
[11:17] <DJones> MOUD: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[11:18] <MOUD> neibors: install but on a usb. I dont want the "try" / "install" always appearing when booting
[11:20] <neibors> MOUD, I think it is"Live-USB". Read message from DJones
[11:21] <MOUD> Im reading it, thanks for the link DJones
[11:21] <AceKing> For about the last week, I have been having trouble viewing youtube videos. I keep getting an error: "An error occurred, please try again later" I tried unistalling, and reinstalling flash plugin, and same for java. Nothing worked. Can someone help me with this?
[11:22] <jrib> AceKing: those sound like server-side issues
[11:22] <AceKing> I tried in both Firefox and Chromium, and same thing happens in both browsers
[11:22] <ubuntu___> Hey
[11:22] <jrib> AceKing: does it happen every time for every video?
[11:22] <ubuntu___> How to install "ASSIMP" library in ubuntu?
[11:23] <ubuntu___> It's an OpenGL lib.
[11:23] <jrib> !software | ubuntu___
[11:23] <jrib> ubuntu___: apt-cache search assimp
[11:23] <AceKing> jrib: No, once in a great while, one of the videos will work
[11:24] <ubuntu___> Thanks. Tho "E: Unable to locate package assimp
[11:24] <jrib> ubuntu___: you did not type the command I gave you
[11:24] <ubuntu___> jrib: Your command output was: Nothing
[11:24] <ubuntu___> jrib: So I guess it worked
[11:24] <jrib> ubuntu___: run "sudo apt-get update" and try again.  If you still have no output, pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get update"
[11:25] <jrib> AceKing: google suggests clearing your cookies
[11:25] <ubuntu___> jrib: Done. Still nothing. Ok.
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> !find assimp
[11:26] <jrib> AceKing: also, disable extensions
[11:26] <AceKing> jrib: I am getting an output. do you want me to pastebin?
[11:26] <jrib> AceKing: no output from what?
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu___: sudo apt-get install assimp-utils
[11:27] <ubuntu___> jrib: http://pastebin.com/6AAX50BK
[11:27] <AceKing> jrib: you wanted me to run the command "apt-cache search assimp" right?
[11:27] <jrib> AceKing: no
[11:27] <AceKing> jrib: ooops, sorry
[11:27] <ubuntu___> ActionParsnip: "... E: Unable to locate package assimp-utils"
[11:28] <jrib> AceKing: disable your extensions
[11:28] <jrib> AceKing: (and clear cookies again)
[11:28] <AceKing> jrib: OK
[11:28] <jrib> !repos | ubuntu___
[11:28] <jrib> ubuntu___: you need to enable the universe repository
[11:28] <ubuntu___> jrib: Oh.
[11:29] <jrib> AceKing: and clear your cache... I'm mostly just reading: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939314
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu___: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[11:30] <AceKing> jrib: On Firefox, I have it set to private all the time. It does not store any history.
[11:30] <ubuntu___> ActionParsnip: "Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l"
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> !find assimp quantal
[11:30] <jrib> AceKing: probably still caches thing (maybe?).  Anyway, see what happens if you unset that
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> !info assimp-utils quantal | ubuntu___
[11:31] <AceKing> jrib: OK
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu___: " In component universe " enable the universe repo
[11:32] <ubuntu___> ActionParsnip: I did. "System Settings -> Software Sources -> universe [check]"
[11:32] <AceKing> jrib: disabled extensions, and still doing same thing.
[11:34] <AceKing> jrib: again, it's doing it on both Firefox and chromium. I don't use Chromium in privacy mode, so I cleared the history, and disabled addons.

[11:44] <MOUD> Method 3 installation is a headache :s
[11:46] <ubuntu___> jrib: Thanks. It works after apt-get update once more.
[11:46] <ubuntu___> ActionParsnip: Thanks. It works.
[11:46] <jrib> ubuntu___: great
[11:47] <jrib> AceKing: it's not about clearing history, it's about clearing cookies and cache according to that link I sent you
[11:48] <jrib> AceKing: do know though that I have received that message in the past and I just refresh a minute later and the video plays fine.  It's not very often for me though
[11:50] <MOUD> Can I install ubuntu using only fat32?
[11:50] <AceKing> jrib: I cleared everything on both browsers, and still nothing. The funny thing is, if I run my mouse along the time frame of the video, I can see the small popup showing the video, but if I try clicking to advance to that point, it doesn't go
[11:51] <BluesKaj> AceKing,  sudo update-alternatives --config  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: FAT32 is not complex enough for Ubuntu to be held on
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> MOUD: you can make a FAT32 partition then make the install media using it but the actual install will need to be on a Linux partition of some sort
[11:54] <AceKing> BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5773738/
[11:56] <MOUD> ActionParsnip: I was afraid of that, thanks for the info
[11:57] <BluesKaj> AceKing, it's pointing to /etc/alternatives which is correct , so I'm not sure what the problem is.

[12:07] <JesseH> Whats a fast desktop environment?
[12:07] <JesseH> for a slow computer*
[12:08] <DJones> JesseH: Maybe look at LXDE or XFCE they're aimed at lower spec machines so should be more capeable on a slow machine
[12:10] <ezra-s> JesseH, define slow computer, cpu, gpu, ram, etc..
[12:19] <CalimeroTeknik> say, I ran locale-gen fr_FR.UTF-8 ; LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 nano and it's in English
[12:19] <CalimeroTeknik> did I miss something there?
[12:20] <ezra-s> CalimeroTeknik, maybe it is not translated to French, but I'm just trying to guess
[12:20] <CalimeroTeknik> it is.
[12:20] <CalimeroTeknik> this works on other distributions
[12:20] <CalimeroTeknik> whatever the environment variables set
[12:21] <CalimeroTeknik> actually, I've tried for two days to set the locale on ubuntu in the past on a production server I couldn't reinstall, and I never, never could give it a locale.
[12:22] <ezra-s> CalimeroTeknik, did you use --purge in locale-gen?
[12:22] <CalimeroTeknik> uh? this is a fresh chroot.
[12:22] <CalimeroTeknik> installed with debootstrap to try things, it's 12.04
[12:23] <ezra-s> CalimeroTeknik, try "cat /etc/default/locale"
[12:23] <CalimeroTeknik> so I thought I'd tackle the problem of the locale that was a failure last time
[12:23] <ezra-s> see what's in there
[12:23] <CalimeroTeknik> well I just ran update-locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
[12:24] <CalimeroTeknik> so cat /etc/default/locale says  LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 of course.
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> CalimeroTeknik: could use localepurge, it will leave only the locales you state (or just use one for simplicity)
[12:25] <CalimeroTeknik> okay… I think I generated one anyway.
[12:25] <CalimeroTeknik> there is no such command
[12:26] <CalimeroTeknik> plus this is ubuntu (or debian)-specific
[12:26] <CalimeroTeknik> whereas locale-gen is a part of libc, and update-locale just edits /etc/default/locale
[12:26] <ezra-s> CalimeroTeknik, if you are certain you have found a bug, report it
[12:27] <ezra-s> I can't think of anything else
[12:27] <CalimeroTeknik> no. I just don't know how you put a locale on ubuntu
[12:27] <ezra-s> my locale works so I don't know what you could be missing
[12:27] <CalimeroTeknik> apparently the installer sets it alright, but it seems ubuntu hacked this so much that libc is beyond recognition
[12:28] <CalimeroTeknik> and I didn't use an installer but debootstrap
[12:28] <CalimeroTeknik> so this is a fail? I could say I wasn't sure if the previous server was a clean install, but this is.
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> CalimeroTeknik: tried localepurge?
[12:29] <CalimeroTeknik> no such command
[12:29] <CalimeroTeknik> also there is nothing to purge.
[12:30] <CalimeroTeknik> could you explain how I run "localepurge" ?
[12:30] <ezra-s> ActionParsnip, I believe you mean locale-gen --purge
[12:30] <CalimeroTeknik> apt-something localepurge ?
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> CalimeroTeknik: sudo apt-get install localepurge
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> !info localepurge
[12:30] <CalimeroTeknik> okay it's done
[12:30] <CalimeroTeknik> locale-gen --purge
[12:31] <ezra-s> localepurge is something else
[12:31] <ezra-s> did it work?
[12:31] <CalimeroTeknik> hey hey, guys. unneeded localizations shouldn't prevent me from having one
[12:31] <CalimeroTeknik> no, as expected nothing changed
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> CalimeroTeknik: you set the locale you want to keep and it sets hthe locale
[12:31] <CalimeroTeknik> I'm getting the feeling I miss something there, just as last time
[12:34] <CalimeroTeknik> well, date is in French alright, so maybe ubuntu doesn't include localization for nano in its package
[12:34] <CalimeroTeknik> that is impossible
[12:35] <hay> hi all.. I am stuck at "linux-server depends on linux-image-server (= <IP_ADDRESS>.44); however: Version of linux-image-server on system is <IP_ADDRESS>.58." and am unable to fix it via apt-get -f install... what are the neccessary steps to move further? thanks!
[12:35] <CalimeroTeknik> well actually that's it. nano is not available in French on ubuntu. okay
[12:35] <CalimeroTeknik> neither is bash
[12:36] <CalimeroTeknik> this is getting strange
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> hay: could download the deb manually and install it to satisfy the dep
[12:36] <ActionParsnip> hay: are there bugs reported?
[12:36] <ezra-s> lol
[12:37] <CalimeroTeknik> bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (fr_FR.UTF-8)
[12:37] <CalimeroTeknik> wait, what does that even mean?
[12:37] <hay> ActionParsnip, why after all does linux-server depend on some older version of linux-image-server?
[12:38] <ezra-s> CalimeroTeknik, I believe (I'm not an expert in the matter at all) ubuntu comes with language packs, maybe you are missing those
[12:38] <CalimeroTeknik> what! again, ubuntu doesn't package bash with locale files!
[12:38] <CalimeroTeknik> ah, maybe there is a pack indeed, not some bash-i18n
[12:38] <ezra-s> CalimeroTeknik, do a apt-cache search language-pack-fr
[12:39] <ezra-s> chances are what you seek are in those
[12:39] <CalimeroTeknik> indeed, indeed, thanks
[12:39] <CalimeroTeknik> this is getting understandable
[12:39] <ezra-s> hehehe
[12:39] <CalimeroTeknik> I was "what" seeing the output of dpkg -L nano, then dpkg -L bash
[12:40] <CalimeroTeknik> starting to feel that something isn't right, not a single .mo file
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> hay: not sure, maybe its a bug in the metapackage
[12:40] <CalimeroTeknik> I mean, in my distro, software comes with its localization files in all available languages
[12:41] <ezra-s> CalimeroTeknik, ubuntu by default asks for your language and installs your language packs I believe
[12:41] <CalimeroTeknik> it doesn't when you debootstrap, obviously :)
[12:42]  * ezra-s can't think of a funny reply, remains in silence :P
[12:47] <guiyou> do
[12:48] <CalimeroTeknik> now this was an interesting contribution.
[12:49] <CalimeroTeknik> he could've gone so far as to saying "do raptors… ?"
[12:49] <CalimeroTeknik> (-ing ?)
[12:50] <Kroach> how do I sent a NotifyOSD confirmation bubble with notify-send?
[12:50] <Magicarp> My intake fan (3pin) is always around 1100RPM. How do I use 'fancontrol' to say what RPM to go at when the CPU reaches X temp
[12:52] <ezra-s> CalimeroTeknik, he meant "doh!"
[12:53] <usr13> Magicarp: http://linux.die.net/man/8/fancontrol
[12:54] <minimec> Magicarp: At my knowledge, you cannot really influence that anymore on newer computers. It is not the os that handles this, but the BIOS. You may have some options like 'target fan speed' or so in the BIOS settings. What you can do, is to use a kernel with 'undervolting' function, to lower fan speed.
[12:56] <ezra-s> Fan need to be plugged to motherboard for control also, most "in-take" fans are just connected to the PSU, unless he meant a cpu fan
[12:57] <BabyCat>  Hi folks, I'm having networking problems and I've narrowed it down to the ubuntu operating system.. Where can I go to figure out how to solve this networking problem?  It keeps me online for a few mintues and kicks me off... Doesn't seem a router problem cause the windows laptop never gets kicked off, just Ubuntu.. I'm using 12.03
[12:57] <BabyCat> 4
[12:58] <splinter701> is this on wifi babycat?
[12:58] <BabyCat> yeah. it is..
[12:58] <Ari-Yang> perhaps try proprietary wifi driver?
[12:58] <usr13> BabyCat: Wireless or Wired?
[12:59] <BabyCat> well.. the networking card I have is a Linux card.. brand new.. 450 mps.. nice one :)
[12:59] <BabyCat> LoL!
[12:59] <soa2ii> Hi. What's the difference between linux-signed-generic-lts-quantal and linux-generic-lts-quantal?
[12:59] <BabyCat> it seems when I turn off the network and restart it, I get networking for another couple minutes
[12:59] <BabyCat> so I think cause of that, it's the operating system..
[12:59] <soa2ii> Oh and linux-signed-image-generic-lts-quantal …
[12:59] <BabyCat> it doesn't tell me it's offline, just loops and never comes out
[12:59] <usr13> BabyCat: Look at  iwconfig  and see what the signal report is.  (If the signal report is poor, that is more-than-likely the problem.)
[13:00] <Walex2> soa2ii: UEFI BIOSes
[13:00] <CakeIsAwesome> How to register? :-s
[13:00] <soa2ii> Walex2: Ah … the signed one is for secureboot?
[13:00] <Walex2> soa2ii: yes
[13:00] <soa2ii> ok … thanks
[13:00] <usr13> BabyCat: Show us iwconfig.  iwconfig | pastebinit
[13:01] <usr13> BabyCat: (When connected)
[13:01] <BabyCat> I got it..
[13:01] <BabyCat> I'm new to IRC thought..
[13:01] <BabyCat> paste bin it
[13:01] <BabyCat> ?
[13:01] <usr13> BabyCat:  iwconfig | pastebinit  #Send resulting URL here.
[13:02] <Dillholio> tor stable browser bundle is missing from the tor site (file not found) anyone know if it's available?
[13:03] <minimec> BabyCat: Is this a wireless 'n' connection? If yes, I would try to step back to a wireless 'g' connection. As I see, you get the connection, but it is very unstable. Wireless 'g'  might do the trick.
[13:03] <usr13> BabyCat: Also tell us what lspci says about your wifi device.  lspci |grep ireless
[13:04] <Dillholio> lol I'm on the wrong channel
[13:04] <Dillholio> pft

[13:14] <Tex_Nick> sarah83:  ??? please explain
[13:14] <sarah83> what else can i say...
[13:14] <sarah83> i want the alternative downloads
[13:15] <jrib> !alternative | sarah83
[13:15] <jrib> sarah83: you can use the minimal install or server install instead

[13:15] <Zeev> I don't know if it's ubuntu question but in term up&down arrows work fine (ubuntu 12.04) but in some interpreter like ocaml when I press up/down arrows I get ^[[D characters anyone know how to get rid of those & make arrows work?
[13:16] <sarah83> jrib: thanks but im pretty sure ive seen 13.10?
[13:16] <jrib> !13.10 | sarah83
[13:16] <jrib> sarah83: 13.10 is still in development and hasn't been released yet
[13:16] <sarah83> jrib: not even for testing?
[13:16] <jrib> sarah83: #ubuntu+1 can help you with that
[13:17] <sarah83> :(
[13:17] <Ben64> of course, if you google for ubuntu 13.10 download, it's quite easy to find
[13:20] <statl> Zeev: You can't. Your shell most likely uses gnu readline to provide those extra features. If that particular program doesn't use such a library for input, it will not support such features.
[13:21] <Zeev> maybe I can change my default shell? I've been suggested in ocaml to use "rlwrap ocaml" heh
[13:21] <jrib> Zeev, statl: you can pass interpreters through some other program to give it readline features though I can't remember the name at the moment.  If you search through search results for "apt-cache search readline" you canprobably find it
[13:21] <qursk> are you guys using kali in usb, virtualisation or as default OS ?

[13:21] <jrib> Zeev: rlwrap is it, yes
[13:22] <statl> jrib: interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks!

[13:36] <Ububegin> i just did this to my ubuntu 12.04... sudo do-release-upgrade -d... the upgrade is running for almost 40 mins... wtf is happening
[13:37] <wheatthin> Ububegin, it's doing a full upgrade
[13:37] <BluesKaj> Ububegin, your OS is upgrading to the next release
[13:37] <acerimmer> Ububegin, pretty much depends on how fast your ISP is right?
[13:37] <Ububegin> Ububegin : Next release... not 13.04
[13:38] <Ububegin> BluesKaj, Next release , not 13.04 ah
[13:38] <BluesKaj> Ububegin, the -d is not a good idea for an LTS \
[13:38] <wheatthin> acerimmer, not necassarily, depends on which service he's getting it from
[13:38] <acerimmer> !mirror
[13:38] <Ububegin> BluesKaj, Can I abort this now ?
[13:38] <IdleOne> Ububegin: are you still in the downloading stage?
[13:39] <wheatthin> acerimmer, doesn't help him judge which ones faster :)..
[13:39] <acerimmer> wheatthin, so true.  blushing to admit I didn't know I could localize my mirror for the first 4 years of my ubuntu use
[13:39] <IdleOne> or have packages started to install?
[13:39] <Ububegin> IdleOne, some packages have installed... I suppose.. its been close to 40 mins
[13:39] <wheatthin> netherlands is fastest for me, and I'm in California, USA :)
[13:40] <IdleOne> Ububegin: guessing is not going to help. What is the terminal doing at this moment
[13:40] <IdleOne> ?
[13:40] <Ububegin> IdleOne, Selecting previously unselected package nmap.
[13:40] <Ububegin> Unpacking nmap (from .../nmap_6.00-0.1_i386.deb)
[13:41] <reisio> well geographic proximity matters, but so does bandwidth
[13:41] <reisio> I believe the mirrors are listed in order of bandwidth
[13:41] <IdleOne> hmm, should be safe for you to ctrl-c . it hasn't starting installing yet.
[13:41] <BluesKaj> Ububegin, the -d means you are installing a dvelopment release , which will probly break your system anyway since you skipped 13.04 and are going directly to 13.10
[13:42] <wheatthin> BluesKaj, it won't break his system.. just might make it unstable
[13:42] <IdleOne> Ububegin: hit ctrl-c and cancel the process. like BluesKaj has pointed out if cancelling now doesn't break the install, completing the upgrade definitely will.
[13:43] <BluesKaj> wheatthin, well we can only hope :P
[13:44]  * acerimmer ... thinks you shouldn't touch the terminal without at least a learner's permit
[13:45] <wheatthin> lol how else do you learn?
[13:45] <Ari-Yang> ^
[13:45] <Ari-Yang> is ubuntu 13.04 suppose to be better for laptops than 12.10? j/w (just wondering)
[13:47] <reisio> Ari-Yang: I'm sure it's _supposed_ to be better, or they wouldn't release it
[13:48] <Ari-Yang> I'm tempted to upgrade from 12.10....
[13:48] <wheatthin> it's doable
[13:48] <reisio> upgrading to new releases is quite a sane notion, ordinarily
[13:48] <Ari-Yang> if I do so, all of the PPAs and programs I installed via those PPAs will be updated to 13.04 PPAs, yes?
[13:48] <reisio> less so with Ubuntu, IME, but in general still a good notion :p
[13:49] <wheatthin> nope, temporarily disabled
[13:49] <Ari-Yang> oh?
[13:49] <Ari-Yang> so then I have to re-enable them?
[13:49] <wheatthin> yup
[13:50] <wheatthin> followed by apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[13:50] <BluesKaj> Ari-Yang, the sources upgrade to the release chosen
[13:50] <gaauud> hi all, i'm having difficulty installing ubuntu on virtualbox and/or parallels. ubuntu always boots in low graphics mode and the screen resolution is very low (800x600)

[13:52] <HElephant> Having an issue, could anyone help?
[13:52] <HElephant> (lubuntu)
[13:52] <MonkeyDust> HElephant  start with a quetion
[13:52] <MonkeyDust> question*
[13:52] <Pici> *another question, the real one.
[13:53] <Ari-Yang> there's also #lubuntu
[13:53] <Ari-Yang> !lubuntu
[13:54] <HElephant> I'm trying to install Lubuntu on my old laptop, Pentinum 3, ~480MB RAM. I pop in the CD/USB and choose my language and choose to install. Then after loading files it says "Starting LightDM Display Manager [OK]" with the lubuntu logo.
[13:54] <HElephant> Ari-Yang, I've been there, I am there now. It's kind of dead.
[13:55] <Ari-Yang> *nod*
[13:55] <reisio> HElephant: and then?
[13:55] <HElephant>  And then... nothing. That's all that happends. The "Starting LightDM Display Manager [OK]" with the lubuntu logo for two seconds, then a black screen for 5 seconds, then it repeats.
[13:57] <reisio> HElephant: CTRL+ALT+F2, grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> HElephant: what video chip do you use>
[13:58] <HElephant> reisio, should I do this when I get the problem or before the installation?
[13:59] <HElephant> ActionParsnip, urgh, some ATI Rage card.
[13:59] <reisio> HElephant: to try and fix it
[13:59] <reisio> you could also fix it from a graphical environment by booting up the install media again, and doing 'try' instead of 'install'
[14:00] <reisio> but that'll take longer (at least to someone who can stand being outside of X)
[14:00] <reisio> bbl
[14:00] <HElephant> reisio, but should I do this before or after I get "Starting LightDM Display Manager [OK]"?
[14:03] <adamk_> helgikrs1: Are you get that last line, login at the console and run 'pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log'.
[14:03] <adamk_> D'oh.
[14:03] <adamk_> Wrong person, sorry.
[14:03] <adamk_> HElephant: After you get that last line, run 'pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log'. You might need to install pastebinit first with apt-get.
[14:04] <HElephant> adamk_, are you sure I can do this without an proper installation?
[14:09] <designbybeck__> I'm trying to edit an "auto.sh" script for Guest Session. I have the code reading like I want, but the dialog box is so big you can't see the ok button? Any suggestions? : http://www.pasteall.org/43235
[14:12] <adamk_> HElephant: Well you can certainly try :-)
[14:12] <adamk_> HElephant: Worst case scenario is that it doesn't work.
[14:18] <designbybeck__> I'm not sure what kind of script it is, I'm just trying to make the dialog box smaller in size. For some reason it has a bunch of blank space: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/4204

[14:26] <acerimmer> faulkmore, I generally run dist-upgrade once a week ...
[14:26] <faulkmore> lubuntu 12.04
[14:26] <designbybeck__> ActionParsnip: might you know a thing about bash scripts? At least I think it is bash: http://www.pasteall.org/43235
[14:27] <faulkmore> i never knew about the dist-upgrade command
[14:28] <javierbuilder> how configure multitopuch  screen   ?
[14:28] <javierbuilder> xinput fails
[14:28] <faulkmore> Doesn't the Upgrade Manager also do the dist-upgrade?
[14:28] <kekko> What do you tihink of ubuntu touch?
[14:28] <acerimmer> !touch|kekko,
[14:28] <DJones> faulkmore: Lubuntu 12.04 is not an LTS (5 years support), but a standard release that is supported for 18 months, so that will become unsupported in October 2013
[14:29] <adamk_> HElephant: So by saying you could barely get in, you are saying that you *did* get in.  So now run the pastebinit command I gave earlier.
[14:29] <Ari-Yang> faulkmore, pretty much yes. But when Software Updater fails, I run dist-upgrade (and it fails for me when I've been slacking on updates and there are over 15-20 updates)
[14:29] <kekko> kubuntu is bad?
[14:29] <Ari-Yang> define "bad"
[14:29] <HElephant> adamk_, after 5 sec it closed down all processes and shut down.
[14:29] <faulkmore> I shut the upgrade manager off cuz it was annoying
[14:29] <kekko> orrible
[14:30] <faulkmore> thanks for the advice
[14:30] <kekko> this chat is very GOOD
[14:30] <acerimmer> kekko, not very definitive response.  I've used kubuntu but prefer Ubuntustudio.  To each his own.
[14:30] <kekko> thanks for your answer
[14:30] <elijah> Ari-Yang: dis-upgrade doesn't list anything to do
[14:30] <faulkmore> i've used the upgrade manager with over 300 upgrades needed. Never had any problems
[14:31] <kekko> wow
[14:31] <Ari-Yang> elijah, you sure you typed in dist-upgrade and not dis-upgrade (which you just typed)?
[14:31] <Ari-Yang> and if it doesn't, I dunno then
[14:32] <Ari-Yang> maybe going to the PPA's launchpad page or something, you can download the .deb of the latest  version there?
[14:33] <anup_grind> mozilla
[14:33] <elijah> Ari-Yang: Correct, it went throught the process and list 0 items to upgrade
[14:33] <kekko> mac os x is set on linux?
[14:33] <acerimmer> !ot|kekko,
[14:34] <kekko> Isn't imported
[14:34] <elijah> Ari-Yang: sudo apt-get install gitg=<IP_ADDRESS>~exp0
[14:34] <raub> kekko: it's based obn bsd, not linux
[14:34] <elijah> Ari-Yang: Just tried to force it like that but no go
[14:35] <adamk_> And saying it's even 'based on bsd' is a stretch.
[14:35] <Ari-Yang> kekko, what raub said, if you're curious, do some googling
[14:35] <kekko> what is the top FEDORA or ubuntu?
[14:35] <Ari-Yang> @ elij I'm not sure then.... perhaps someone else in the chan can be more help than me for this problem?
[14:35] <acerimmer> !best|kekko,
[14:35] <Pici> kekko: Again, this isn't on-topic for this support channel.
[14:35] <Ari-Yang> kekko, you'll get better answers if you google and research the questions and comparisons yourself.
[14:36] <kekko> thanks and excusemy
[14:36] <javierbuilder> kekko, no, i have one panel usb multitouch and i want calibrate
[14:36] <kekko> ok
[14:37] <raub> kekko: that can be a religious issue.  When is this file read, if ever?
[14:39] <raub> How small can I build an ubuntu server install?
[14:40] <raub> Is there a "really minimal install and I mean it" server install or must I do it myself?
[14:40] <acerimmer> !mini|raub,
[14:40] <MonkeyDust> !requirements| raub
[14:43] <raub> MonkeyDust and acerimmer, I did try installing in 1GB, which according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Ubuntu_Server_.28CLI.29_Installation would suffice, but ran out of space.
[14:43] <soy_el_pulpo> raub: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[14:43] <acerimmer> raub, I've not played with it enough to provide meaningful advice.  sorry.
[14:44] <raub> acerimmer: no worries. And I do know your character ;)
[14:44] <acerimmer> raub, what a guy!
[14:45] <soy_el_pulpo> raub: the key thing is the purpose of such installation, maybe ubuntu is not the right choice for you specific project
[14:46] <duelle> Hi, my laptop has an ethernet and a wifi device. When I try to ping it always uses the (not connected) ethernet device to run that ping .. even when I specify the interface the ping has to go through. It always uses the not connected ethernet. ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774145/ )
[14:46] <teamcoltra> So I kinda broke my user account somehow? I was trying to install a new graphics driver, but that went wonky, but was able to get to the driver selection by right clicking on the desktop and choosing change desktop, then going to all settings and getting to the graphics section
[14:47] <teamcoltra> However, now that I am back to the default driver -- Unity is still screwed up. All my windows have title bars on them but there is no unity bar or top bar thing
[14:47] <teamcoltra> When I log into the guest account it is working fine, so it's something to do with my user account
[14:48] <teamcoltra> I could add a new user give them admin privvys delete this one and then re-create it... but that sounds like a lot of work
[14:51] <wheatthin> teamcoltra, You could delete the hidden configs in your user home directory
[14:52] <wheatthin> when you relogin, they'll come back
[14:52] <Yoshi1> which distro of ubuntu should i use on a mini with 1.6 ghz cpu and 1 gig of ram?
[14:53] <wheatthin> Yoshi1, I have a 13.04 installed, and it works fine
[14:53] <wheatthin> 1.8ghz cpu
[14:53] <Yoshi1> cool i was worried the mini would be under speced wheatthin
[14:55] <BluesKaj> 1g ram will work  Yoshi1 , but it's the minimum for ubuntu
[14:59] <duelle> Hi, my laptop has an ethernet and a wifi device. When I try to ping it always uses the (not connected) ethernet device to run that ping .. even when I specify the interface to be used. It always uses the not connected ethernet. ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774145/ )
[15:02] <wheatthin> Hmm  duelle, did you specify a specific route/gateway ?
[15:03] <MonkeyDust> duelle  if you can ping an IP address, but not a URL, then it's a DNS issue -- try ping [ip address]
[15:03] <wheatthin> MonkeyDust, it's translating
[15:04] <kasansweat> All ubuntu native twitter clients I use (polly, turpial, hotot) have suddenly stopped authenticating correctly -- any ideas?
[15:04] <duelle> wheatthin: I didn't define a route. I only defined a gateway for the eth0 device. The wlan0 is configured via dhcp.
[15:05] <wheatthin> that's the problem
[15:06] <duelle> wheatthin: Ping doesn't use the correctly connected wlan0 card even if i enforce it with the -I parameter.
[15:06] <wheatthin> that's because you defined the gateway to ethernet .
[15:06] <wheatthin> connected or not, that's what you defined it to do
[15:07] <duelle> wheatthin: But isn't the gateway dependent on the device? I defined the gateway for eth0
[15:07] <wheatthin> gateway means gateway out of the network
[15:08] <duelle> wheatthin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774210/ Thats what my /etc/network/interfaces looks liek
[15:09] <wheatthin> comment out the eth0 stuff
[15:10] <duelle> wheatthin: I want to set the machine to be my internet-gateway.. It should connect via wlan to the router and be kind of proxy via eth
[15:11] <wheatthin> so your gateway will be your wifi net not the ethernet
[15:11] <wheatthin> uncomment the gateway and try that
[15:11] <duelle> wheatthin: ok, thx - I'll try ;)
[15:13] <comjf> Can someone help me figure out how to get shrewsoft vpn working? It appears installed, and the applications 'launch' but keeps saying ti can't connect to the key daemon
[15:13] <accc> hi
[15:13] <javierbuilder> SebastianFlyte,  ping
[15:13] <duelle> wheatthin: Seems to work ;) thanks a lot! So I think I misunderstood the gateway setting
[15:13] <wheatthin> :)
[15:13] <SuperLag> too bad kasansweat left
[15:13] <SuperLag> I was going to say, it's probably Twitter API changes
[15:14] <sienez> hi. how can I change the icon of a shortcut on my desktop on ubuntu 12.04?
[15:14] <SuperLag> Twitter doesn't care for any devs other than its own.
[15:14] <SuperLag> sienez: /usr/share/applications/<name of app>.desktop
[15:15] <sienez> SuperLag, name of app... it's a shell script
[15:15] <sienez> SuperLag, what name does it have? /bin/sh?
[15:15] <SuperLag> sienez: then I would create a .desktop file for that script, in /usr/share/applications/
[15:16] <SuperLag> sienez: what does your script do?
[15:16] <sienez> it simply calls a python file in /usr/share
[15:16] <leehambley> hi jrib: just a short question, does upstart honor policy-rc.d, seems like not, any idea how I can prevent upstart starting jobs that are newly installed ?
[15:16] <sienez> SuperLag, it just starts a gui
[15:17] <SuperLag> sienez: I'd create a .desktop file for it. That will also put it in your Unity search, or Applications menu
[15:17] <Yoshi1> BluesKaj: well i am setting up the mini for a friend she's only gonna view youtube and listen to music on it
[15:17] <Yoshi1> maybe do emails
[15:17] <sienez> SuperLag, it looks like this: #!/bin/sh /path/to/app.py
[15:17] <CalimeroTeknik> how do I add the key for a ppa, or disable its verification? apt-get upgrade says "6 not updated"
[15:18] <SuperLag> sienez: if your python script is set +x, then you don't need to call /bin/sh first. You can call the script directly.
[15:18] <BluesKaj> Yoshi1, then your friend should be fine ...hope she enjoys ubuntu :)
[15:18] <CalimeroTeknik> !pkgfile apt-add-repository
[15:18] <jrib> leehambley: I think even with sysv, a service will be started.  Though I'm not sure.  What happens is that .postinst scripts call invoke-rc.d SERVICE when you install a package.  I don't know if there's some other way than, to disable the service (use manual override (search upstart cookbook) for upstart services and sysv-rc-conf if a service does not use an upstart script)
[15:19] <Yoshi1> BluesKaj: i hope so too. i'm hoping it will also cure alot of the inevitable problems she gets with windows heh. i use debian myself and used to use ubuntu
[15:19] <CalimeroTeknik> do we have a !whatpackageisthisfilein command?
[15:19] <leehambley> cheers
[15:19] <reisio> taxi
[15:19] <wheatthin> CalimeroTeknik, apt-get update should tell you the errors of which is erroring
[15:19] <SuperLag> sienez: like I said... create a .desktop file for it. I'd recommend creating a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ - start with an existing file, make a copy of it and rename it to correspond to your script, then edit the file to have values you want, and point to the icon file you want
[15:20] <jrib> leehambley: there's some talk here that I haven't read through: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=571054
[15:20] <CalimeroTeknik> it's complaining about not having the signature key
[15:20] <sienez> SuperLag, thank you, I will do this
[15:21] <CalimeroTeknik> I don't know how to give it  the key but apparently people add the repo with apt-add-repository instead
[15:21] <sfxcc> how can i install libcrypto1.0.0 on a debian whisch have only 0.9.8
[15:21] <leehambley> thanks jrib
[15:21] <wheatthin> CalimeroTeknik, http://askubuntu.com/questions/131601/how-to-overcome-signature-verification-error
[15:22] <leehambley> unfixed for 3 years jrib, shame
[15:22] <jrib> leehambley: yeah, there may be more recent happenings.  Check in #upstart
[15:22] <leehambley> cheers

[15:27] <ch3cooh> guys need help, i shifted one folder from one account to another account (it contains lots of sub folders) using cp command. when i access the folder using the other account i dont have the permission to view it so i use chmod 777 foldername, but then sub folders still have to be given permission, is there a recursive chmod?
[15:27] <sienez> SuperLag, is there any documentation for the fields in a .desktop file? Eg, i took as template the one for transmission-gtk. it says Icon=transmission. Which path are they looking for the icons?
[15:27] <wheatthin> locutusofborg1, why would you need a ppa for vlc anyways?
[15:27] <sp2er> Can anyone point me to a guide to make my current monitor settings permanet in ubuntu 13.04? I have the settings right where I want them using the guides for Xrandr..but cant find an Xorg.conf to make them stick!
[15:27] <locutusofborg1> this is the master trunk
[15:27] <locutusofborg1> the upcoming 2.1, not the stable
[15:27] <ch3cooh> nvm guys it's done :) reading the man page helps!
[15:27] <reisio> sp2er: what graphics driver are you using?
[15:28] <AlanBell> ch3cooh: yes, there is, but don't 777 it, use a group
[15:28] <sp2er> ivy bridge intel HD 4000
[15:28] <wheatthin> locutusofborg1, then it's not our problem :)
[15:28] <locutusofborg1> wheatthin: a builder misconfigured it is
[15:28] <wheatthin> if it's unstable, what do you expect?
[15:28] <locutusofborg1> the problem is the BUILDER, do you understand?
[15:28] <locutusofborg1> not the code

[15:29] <krz> hi, is it safe for me to put export TERM="xterm-256color" in .bashrc?
[15:30] <sp2er> Reisio: I am using just onboad Intel HD 4000 graphics
[15:30] <reisio> krz: worst you'd have to do is undo it
[15:30] <krz> reisio: export TERM="xterm-256color" in bashrc, will have 256 color enabled in terminal by default right? even for programs like vim?
[15:30] <reisio> sp2er: http://askubuntu.com/questions/63681/how-can-i-make-xrandr-customization-permanent ?
[15:31] <reisio> krz: either it will or it won't
[15:31] <krz> reisio: but that is intended right?
[15:32] <reisio> krz: sounds possible
[15:32] <krz> thanks
[15:32] <sp2er> Reisio: I did come across that guide...but I dont know where to locate that Xorg.conf file...it is not in the folder as suggested by that guide...nothing like that under the X 11 folder here
[15:32] <sienez> what's the simplest way to change the icon of a file on the desktop?
[15:33] <reisio> depends on the file
[15:33] <reisio> sp2er: you can make the directory
[15:33] <sienez> it starts a python script
[15:33] <reisio> sienez: is it a .desktop file?
[15:33] <sienez> it's a one liner: /path/to/script.py
[15:33] <reisio> sp2er: oh, although, you should probably use xorg.conf.d
[15:34] <reisio> sp2er: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/
[15:34] <kepiting_> !DMZ
[15:34] <reisio> sienez: so it's a plain text file?
[15:34] <sienez> reisio, yes
[15:34] <sp2er> Reisio: ok I will check that guide out
[15:34] <reisio> sienez: what do you want the icon to be?
[15:34] <SuperLag> sienez: sorry, been on another window. You can point to the path where your icon graphic is.
[15:34] <sienez> the logo of the program it launches
[15:35] <reisio> sienez: okay, you might want to replace it with a .desktop file, then
[15:35] <sienez> SuperLag, yes I did that. however the logo didnt change
[15:35] <reisio> sienez: right click, you can probably find 'create launcher' or the like
[15:35] <reisio> just make a dummy one then edit it with a text editor, setting the icon is simple
[15:35] <sienez> reisio, nah, all i can do is create an empty text document
[15:36] <reisio> sienez: they are empty text documents
[15:36] <reisio> well, not empty :p
[15:36] <reisio> http://linuxcritic.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/anatomy-of-a-desktop-file/
[15:37] <SuperLag> reisio: ohhh.... good info.
[15:37] <SuperLag> reisio: I wish I would have had that doc a LONG time ago :)
[15:37] <reisio> there's a wizard with most DEs that you can get to from the right-click context menu, on the desktop
[15:38] <reisio> but yeah, it's nice to know it's just a text file
[15:38] <CalimeroTeknik> er, now I have no error at all, but apt-get upgrade says "6 packages not upgraded", I want them upgraded
[15:38] <CalimeroTeknik> what should I do?
[15:38] <CalimeroTeknik> can I say apt-get install repository/package ?
[15:38] <wheatthin> choose a different one
[15:38] <SuperLag> reisio: I found it it was a .desktop file, and then proceeded to edit. Never had any guide to follow.
[15:39] <reisio> well, that's just some stupid blog post
[15:39] <reisio> it should be in a man page somewhere
[15:39] <reisio> alas I don't know which ATM
[15:41] <azazel91> anybody knows how to install netbeans since im having problems
[15:41] <wheatthin> CalimeroTeknik, try this one http://www.unixmen.com/vlc-2-0-7-has-been-released-ppa-ubuntu/
[15:41] <reisio> azazel91: what've you tried?
[15:42] <wheatthin> latest stable
[15:42] <azazel91> you mean commands?
[15:42] <reisio> SuperLag: man desktop-file-edit
[15:44] <CalimeroTeknik> wheatthin, do you mean I must remove the ppa and re-add it with add-apt-repository?
[15:44] <wheatthin> yup
[15:44] <CalimeroTeknik> does that change anything?
[15:44] <CalimeroTeknik> what will it do that I didn't?
[15:45] <wheatthin> it will install fine.
[15:45] <CalimeroTeknik> maybe the problem is that I added it at the bottom of sources.list
[15:45] <wheatthin> and work
[15:45] <wheatthin> and be a daily build
[15:45] <wheatthin> lol no
[15:45] <CalimeroTeknik> I'm not installing VLC
