[19:59] <RaverX3X> 302.17 was the current pritortary driver even tho there website and nvidia current repo has 295
[20:00] <shamt> where is .emac file , i want to add these lines to it " (add-to-list 'load-path "PATH CONTAINING go-mode-load.el" t)
[20:00] <shamt>    (require 'go-mode-load)"
[20:00] <RaverX3X> unless i go beta driver which is 302.44
[20:01] <RaverX3X> odd because i cannot find the 302.17 driver anywhere from nvidias repos
[20:01] <glitsj16> RaverX3X: nvidia released a new beta few days ago, 304.22 which fixed a busload of bugs in 302.17
[20:01] <viktor> glitsj16, that's probably my fault, srry. not sure why it didn't work, thought it had something to do with the files being wma, but looking at the script they're mp3... so i guess it was gecko or mplayer2 not working well?
[20:01] <RaverX3X> oh got a repo for it cause i cannot find it in there resapotory
[20:01] <viktor> glitsj16, in any case, thnk u for the help :)
[20:01] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: can you pastebin the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy nvidia-curent; dpkg -l | grep nvidia      thanks
[20:02] <RaverX3X> and using sudo apt-get install nvidia-current gives me 295
[20:02] <glitsj16> viktor: probably, very welcome, and good luck with the thai language :)
[20:02] <viktor> glitsj16, :D hehe, thnks
[20:03] <RaverX3X> action u want pastebin right
[20:03] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: please
[20:03] <RaverX3X> http://pastebin.com/Qxwt46uJ there you go actionpa1snip
[20:03] <whateverman> I have an Acer Aspire 6930g and suffered from a slow machine after a plain regular installation of Ubuntu 12.04 (x64), no matter what desktop environment I used (xfce/gnome/unity/kde). I installed the Enlightenment, and on the bottom there is this toolbar that you can select CPU power mode - 2.0ghz, 1.6ghz, etc. it was on the minimum the whole time! I wonder, how can I change the CPU settings on Unity/Gnome ?
[20:04] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: sorry: apt-cache policy nvidia-current
[20:04] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: can you pastebin that please (typo)
[20:06] <whateverman> anyone?
[20:06] <RaverX3X> lsb_release -a; uname -a; apt-cache policy nvidia-curent; dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[20:06] <RaverX3X> is what u want right
[20:06] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: just:  apt-cache policy nvidia-current
[20:07] <ActionPa1snip> whateverman: http://askubuntu.com/questions/142688/cpu-frequency-scaling-for-12-04
[20:07] <whateverman> thanks!!
[20:07] <RaverX3X> http://pastebin.com/mQD84wHu there you go ActionPa1snip
[20:08] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: you are using a PPA, i suggest you contact the PPA maintainer
[20:08] <RaverX3X> ok lol
[20:08] <RaverX3X> so contact nvidia then sence that was the ppa to there repo
[20:09] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: the PPA you have is not maintained by nvidia
[20:09] <RaverX3X> got a link to the current nvidia ppa?
[20:10] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates   is what you are using
[20:10] <ida_> !list
[20:10] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: I suggest you uninstall the driver you have, remove the PPA then try the driver from the Ubuntu repo
[20:11] <neberu> yep
[20:11] <ActionPa1snip> RaverX3X: https://launchpad.net/~bryce  is the owner of the PPA
[20:11] <yannick> !patience
[20:11] <yannick> ok
[20:11] <bazhang> yannick, stop that.
[20:12] <RaverX3X> thanks now im trying to find that repo in my sources and remove it
[20:12] <Oli__> Why is my monitor using the commented out modeline rather than the non commented out modeline? http://paste.linuxassist.net/216057
[20:14] <amliby> I'm installing a web server and I'm not sure what directory would be appropriate for some template files. Does anybody have any suggestions?
[20:15] <delac> having problems configuring valr awf Widget Factory. It hangs on checking gtk3, which it claims it can't find. I'm running Precise, so what might be the problem?
[20:16] <glitsj16> amliby: if you want people to be able to use the templates directly you can put them under the web servers document root no? without more specific info it's hard to tell
[20:17] <amliby> glitsj16: This is my own software. I guess the question is where should I put the document root? Is /var/www2/ an acceptible place?
[20:17] <whateverman> I'm such a noob it's embarrassing: in order to get the CPUFreq it says on the Ubuntu forums that I need to: ppa:artfwo/ppa and install package indicator-cpufreq ; how do I install/download it ?
[20:18] <bazhang> !addppa | whateverman
[20:18] <glitsj16> amliby: it is yes, just make sure you got the dir/file permissions set up correct for that location
[20:18] <whateverman> haha thanks!
[20:18] <bXi> okay this is weird. i somehow forgot how to get a static ip address on a network interface using ubuntu server
[20:19] <bXi> i think i have set it up in the proper way but it won't come up
[20:19] <bXi> (ifconfig shows its there)
[20:19] <ActionPa1snip> whateverman: sudo ad-apt-repository  ppa:artfwo/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install indicator-cpufreq
[20:19] <amliby> glitsj16: Thanks! I'll go ahead and do that then :)
[20:20] <whateverman> thanks you!
[20:20] <muay-guy> Hello, I don't know if it corresponds that I ask this here or in virtualbox channel…but here I go. I can't access the internet in my Ubuntu Server (12.04) after creating a static interface
[20:20] <muay-guy> this is what the interface looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095535/
[20:20] <glitsj16> amliby: no problem, test locally and you'll know soon enough, good luck
[20:21] <bXi> muay-guy: how did you get your interface to actually show this configuration? i'm having issues getting it up at all
[20:22] <muay-guy> bXi: following some tutorials
[20:22] <glitsj16> muay-guy: one obvious thing about that paste is 'getway' (line 8) instead of gateway
[20:22] <muay-guy> I have no idea what I'm doing
[20:22] <Ziber> Reinstalled 12.04 today, and now I have no sound. Best way to start figuring out why?
[20:23] <muay-guy> glitsj16: yeah, I'm copying it myself reading it from the VM right now. I did a typo, English isn't my first language
[20:23] <nosuchpart> Hello everybody, I'm getting that dreaded "no such partition" error out of Grub2 after an update
[20:24] <cib0> Hello everyone.
[20:24] <nosuchpart> grub can apparently find grub.cfg, but any attempt to boot otherwise fails
[20:24] <axisys> what is a good screencast sftware? recordmydesktop saves a small file to 23M
[20:24] <nosuchpart> axisys: what about istanbul?
[20:25] <Ziber> Where should I start looking for problems if I have no sound? I had no problems whatsoever before I reinstalled the OS and didn't have to do anything last time.
[20:25] <ActionPa1snip> nosuchpart: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video   try that
[20:25] <tix__> don't mean to spam the channel with another request, but I am trying to set up NIS, and when I do "service nis restart", it says "nis: unrecognized service", even though i installed the nis package. ideas?
[20:25] <ActionPa1snip> Ziber: run:  alsamixer    are all levels cranked and unmuted?
[20:26] <ActionPa1snip> tix__: use TAB to complete the service name
[20:26] <axisys> nosuchpart: i guess i could try that
[20:26] <axisys> nosuchpart: never used it before
[20:26] <Ziber> Everything is up fully, yes.
[20:26] <delac> test
[20:26] <delac> yay
[20:27] <Ziber> All the sound settings seem fine...
[20:27] <glitsj16> muay-guy: okay, i'm not at all an expert on this, but ubuntu 12.04 made some changes to dns resolving .. i think you have to add dns details into /etc/network/interfaces for a static ip .. http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ has much more to say
[20:27] <Jordan_U> nosuchpart: Please run boot info script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt it produces.
[20:27] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | nosuchpart
[20:27] <cib0> I've noticed something very strange. I recently have been using hg with the mozilla source. When using tools such as hg qnew, I  noticed a very large delay(10 minutes) where other developers only experience a delay of a few seconds.
[20:27] <Ziber> Running alsamixer solved it I guess? Thanks.
[20:27] <tix__> ActionPalsnip: i tried that, to no success, but when i look at tutorials, the serivce is called "nis" whenever they try to use the "service" command
[20:28] <cib0> I looked for possible causes, and the only thing I could find was that I used the "encrypt home directory" option when setting up ubuntu and mozilla was in my home. Sure enough, when moving mozilla elsewhere, suddenly hg sped up from 10 minutes per action to 10 seconds per action.
[20:28] <glitsj16> bXi: you might also want to go over http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ to get static ip set up properly in 12.04
[20:29] <cib0> I also figured out that hg uses many many files to store its changes. Thousands of files for the mozilla source.
[20:29] <cib0> tl;dr: Ubuntu home directory encryption seems to slow down file lookup by a factor of 50.. any idea why that is?
[20:29] <tix__> I forgot to mention that I am trying to run NIS on Precise
[20:30] <ActionPa1snip> Ziber: ok, what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[20:30] <Ziber> ActionPa1snip: It's all working now. Dunno what the problem is.
[20:30] <Ziber> *was
[20:30] <ActionPa1snip> Ziber: ah, if it's fixed then no worrie :)
[20:31] <manners13> anyone know a way of passing variables from php to shell using ssh2
[20:32] <Ziber> manners13: see #php, but system() :)
[20:33] <Ziber> So, my wireless mouse scrolling is WAY too sensitive. How can I change that?
[20:33] <nosuchpart> Jordan_U, I got it working. Seems like I needed to run grub-install
[20:34] <tix__> Ziber: depends, if you have a sensitivity switch on your mouse, then that could be the culprit but you can find sensitivity settings in ubuntu's settings.
[20:35] <tix__> if you're running precise: system settings -> mouse and touchpad
[20:35] <tix__> i can't think of anything other version off the top of my head
[20:36] <newbie22> does anyone know a good channel for "Windows XP"
[20:36] <newbie22> ???
[20:36] <qmr> my external monitor is to the left of my laptop display.  can I move Unity dock to external display?
[20:36] <glitsj16> newbie22: ##windows
[20:37] <newbie22> Thanks..
[20:37] <tix__> so does anybody know why the precise package for NIS does not install "nis" as a service?
[20:37] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: I think if you make the external display the primary display it will move
[20:38] <danielsp> newbie22: I think you should try a forum somewhere on the web, if you got probs with Windows.
[20:38] <qmr> Alt-F2 doesn't do context searching, but it looks just like unity launcher... any reason for this?
[20:38] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: how do I make it primary?  What does that mean?
[20:38] <ActionPa1snip> tix__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNISHowTo
[20:39] <tix__> ActionPalsnip: Yes, I have looked at that page, but the problem is that nis is not located in /etc/init.d
[20:39] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: in display settings, make the external display primary, if you use an nvidia gpu then you can set it in nvidia-settings
[20:39] <tix__> at least it is not installed with the package
[20:39] <ActionPa1snip> tix__: try:  sudo updatedb; locate nis
[20:40] <qmr> I have monitor settings, I don't have display settings.  not seeing anything in here about primary
[20:40] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: try right clicking the external disply....
[20:41] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: nothing happens when right clickcing
[20:43] <colorsother> can someone help me with a fresh install of 12.04LTS... during the install from a USB stick it hangs
[20:44] <OerHeks> colorsother, be patient, some parts take some time, do you see the hdd led reacting? does caps lock work?
[20:44] <rinzler> what is the grub menu key?
[20:44] <designbybeck> colorsother:  where does it hang at?
[20:44] <tix__> ActionPalsnip: is there any way to filter that list down to just scripts or binaries?
[20:44] <OerHeks> rinzler, hold shift @ boot to enter grub menu
[20:44] <colorsother> okay ill give it some time... i tried the acpi=off option and kept getting     /sbin/modprobe -bv   errors
[20:45] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: can you drag the displays around?
[20:45] <ActionPa1snip> tix__: you could pipe it into file I guess then grep to see which are binaries
[20:45] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: yes
[20:45] <rinzler> OerHeks: thanks
[20:45] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: ok then drag the monitor to the left of the laptop, does it make the Unity move?
[20:46] <qmr> It's already on the left, no
[20:46] <colorsother> currently have a screen that says ubuntu 12.04 with the 4 dots and it keeps going and going
[20:46] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: what video chip do you use?
[20:46] <glitsj16> qmr: you could try editing ~/.config/monitors.xml .. If one of your displays is designated  as the primary output in that file the launcher will show up on that  display. Find the "output" item for your desired primary display in that  file, and then find the sub-item named "primary".   I'm trying to give it a shot today, but meh
[20:47] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: seems there is a launcher placement drop down. Do you see taht?
[20:48] <colorsother> OerHeks the HDD LED is not doing anything
[20:48] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: its ok, i use few apps so it works for me
[20:48] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: add the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[20:48] <glitsj16> flow is relative, what is a logout/login compared to braking your neck to see the launcher where you want it ;)
[20:48] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: I don't have any dropdowns besides res, refresh, and rotation
[20:48] <colorsother> thanks ActionPa1 let me restart and try that
[20:49] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[20:50] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: natty
[20:50] <jacta> how is it that I'm able to get my console look like this: http://9l.dk/upload/Screenshot%20-%2007162012%20-%2010:49:22%20PM.png
[20:50] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: ahhh, let me search better
[20:50] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: Precise has a nice switcher in its display config
[20:50] <jacta> the green/blue style
[20:51] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: natty doesn't have much support left in it either, you may want to upgrade soon
[20:51] <qmr> How many animals do I need to sacrifice for a smooth upgrade?
[20:51] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: try:    xrandr --output VGA-0 --primary
[20:52] <qmr> warning: output VGA-0 not found; ignoring
[20:52] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: you may need to run:  xrandr  to see the display names
[20:52] <ActionPa1snip> qmr: http://superuser.com/questions/294553/setting-primary-monitor-for-natty-narwhal
[20:52] <colorsother> how do i pass the nouveau.blacklist=1 option during install ?
[20:53] <bXi> okay can someone help me with dhcp3-server ?
[20:53] <bekks> bXi: Just ask what you really want to know please. :)
[20:53] <bXi> all of the guides i find on the web are referencing files that don't seem to exist on my install
[20:54] <glitsj16> jacta: have you tried changing the color preferences in your xfce4-terminal yet?
[20:54] <jacta> glitsj16, yep - changed background and such in there
[20:55] <qmr> ActionPa1snip: Ok, made it VGA1, but it hasn't moved
[20:55] <colorsother> ActionPa1snip :  how do i pass the nouveau.blacklist=1 option during install ?
[20:56] <glitsj16> jacta: not sure i got your question correctly .. do you want to get the left look (with transparent background) and yours is still looking like the right part of that picture?
[20:57] <GhostWolf> hi all. im stuck on an issue, i upgraded 12.04 by using a fresh install. and i know to get sound back to normal or to working order i have to use the alsamixer. i've done that and i still don't get sound or music through my speakers

[21:00] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: yes, it's one big long command, just copy and paste it to th terminal
[21:00] <glitsj16> jacta: if both are yours you should be able to replicate the settings from left one to right one seeing it is xfce4-terminal ..
[21:00] <GhostWolf> i know it is. just want to make sure and just one second

[21:20] <Nogal> anja_versus -- I use Firefox, Chrome, Epiphany, and Chromium and it works on all of those if that helps... I don't have opera installed though.
[21:21] <glink> is it possible to be the same error that launchpad gave me before i use the new quickly pacages that fixed a bug related with not building in LP?
[21:21] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:21] <colorsother> ActionPa1snip: thanks for the option..
[21:21] <anja_versus> Nogal: it works in Chromium and (I think) Rekonq.... just not in Opera. The page seems to load (going by the source view) but it doesn't display.  I would like to strip down my ubuntu 11.10 to its basic resources so that it runs only the necessary processes. Can someone help me with that please?
[21:22] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: once you get the proprietary driver in you'll be ok. You more than likely won't see the boot splash but it's quite trivial
[21:23] <colorsother> okay... well im just waiting to see what happenes here.. thanks for your input
[21:23] <cascadia> I've got a question for people more skilled with Ubuntu than me: The hard drive on which my /home partition resided has failed. It no longer works. Consequently, I can't login to my system anymore because the home folder is gone. There was no important data in that home folder, so I am not worried about it being gone, but I'd like to be able to get back in to my system without reinstalling Ubuntu. What do I need to do to fix the login issue?
[21:23] <ActionPa1snip> dat789: http://modifyubuntu.com/#speed     has a show all startup apps, you can disable stuff there and make boot faster
[21:24] <dat789> ActionPalsnip: thank you. I'll check that out now
[21:24] <Nogal> cascadia; you might want to look into a slax liveCD to boot up and make a backup of your data you need to recover.
[21:24] <qmr> Neither glipper or AutoKey are working properly with Unity.  I try to open preferences for glipper and nothing happens.
[21:26] <noiro> Hey guys, whenever I try to run Gnome for 12.04, it runs gnome classic. Why is this? On my much less powerful netbook, gnome with effects loads, but not on this computer (which much better graphics)
[21:26] <robin> hello
[21:26] <cascadia> Nogal: All the data that was in that home partition was backed up. Meaning, I didn't lose any documents, pictures, etc. So okay there. The issue is I can't login when the system boots up. It says it can't enter the home folder. Just returns me to a login screen.
[21:27] <radioelephant> hi all
[21:27] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, ok thats all done. what do i need to do next?
[21:27] <Nogal> cascadia, without reinstalling it, that's out of my league...
[21:30] <trism> glink: nope that doesn't seem to be the issue (I'm guessing your earlier bug was the glib-compile-schemas one everyone was having)
[21:31] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*     wait 10 seconds then reboot to test
[21:31] <glink> so how can i solve the problem? i used only quickly things :x i don't understand
[21:31] <BenGurion> hey, I just started using a wireless bluetooth keyboard on ubuntu 11.10 and I noticed that if I don't use the keyboard for a  while the bluetooth will set itself on "off", is this normal?
[21:32] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, reboot the pc?
[21:32] <glink> trism: so how can i solve the problem? i used only quickly things :x i don't understand
[21:32] <ThinkT510> BenGurion: probably, maybe for power saving?
[21:32] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: yes after the small wait, should reload the new alsa with default settings, may help
[21:32] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, ok just making sure you meant the pc
[21:32] <trism> glink: I have an idea, and am taking a look now, I'll let you know
[21:33] <trism> glink: but it is looking like another quickly bug
[21:33] <glink> i have litle time can you email me?
[21:33] <glink> lol
[21:33] <BenGurion> ThinkT510, yes, well this is not a problem if there is only a short delay at the beginning of each active session however, sometimes the bluetooth will be completely off, so that i have to replug it and redo the search for the keyboard device
[21:34] <ThinkT510> BenGurion: oh, the wonders of wireless keyboards
[21:34] <noiro> Hey guys, whenever I try to run Gnome for 12.04, it runs gnome classic. Why is this? On my much less powerful netbook, gnome with effects loads, but not on this computer (which much better graphics)
[21:34] <noiro> Which gnome is the one without a bottom task bar?
[21:34] <BenGurion> ThinkT510, also, haven't restarted yet, hope I don
[21:35] <BenGurion> t have to redo the search for the device each time
[21:35] <CoJaBo> "Package 'php5-fpm' has no installation candidate" <--Is there any way to troubleshoot/fix errors like that?
[21:36] <BenGurion> on the other hand the cheap wireless mouse i got with its own usb dongle is working perfectly
[21:36] <BenGurion> stupid bluetooth
[21:36] <trism> glink: I'll keep looking but you may want to ask in #ubuntu-app-devel they probably have more experience with quickly
[21:36] <ThinkT510> BenGurion: sorry i can't be more helpful, i refuse to use wireless keyboards, waste of batteries etc
[21:36] <BenGurion> ThinkT510, but you gotta hate wires
[21:36] <BenGurion> and cords
[21:36] <ThinkT510> BenGurion: they are never in my way so no
[21:36] <BenGurion> they give me eye cancer
[21:37] <BenGurion> it's so 1999
[21:37] <BenGurion> on the other hand the invisible waves will probably give me brain tumors
[21:37] <har> good evening
[21:38] <glink> trism: thank you! if you find some thing u can contact me by LP or give feedback on the app.  i really have to go once again thank you very much!
[21:39] <ActionPa1snip> BenGurion: wired is a tonne easier to configure
[21:39] <ThinkT510> ActionPa1snip: what configuration?
[21:39] <BenGurion> ActionPa1snip, the configuration is actually pretty easy, for usb dongles there is none, for bluetooth it's simple
[21:40] <colorsother>  ActionPa1snip, okay i got the install to go through but once I rebooted the system will no longer load.. hangs on the splash screen with 4 dots.... also the grub menu never appears so i can put in a optoin
[21:40] <BenGurion> but my worry is, will it stay that way for the bluetooth, it seems unstable
[21:40] <noiro> hey guys, can you tell me why gnome3 is not executing and isntad switching to fallback mode?
[21:41] <ThinkT510> noiro: graphics drivers
[21:41] <aguitel> noiro, need propietaries drivers
[21:41] <noiro> I have nvidia's propietary driver installed. e.o
[21:41] <aguitel> realy?
[21:41] <aguitel> check
[21:41] <noiro> aguitel, how would I check?
[21:42] <LosGringo> Word. Yo... Ok. I dual booted. But at the choice screen. I don't want it to count down. I'd like it to stay. There are times where I must get up and come back, and I don't like constant restart to choose
[21:42] <aguitel> noiro, glxgears
[21:42] <ActionPa1snip> BenGurion: or you can shove in a usb device and blam, zero config
[21:42] <aguitel> glxinfo
[21:42] <ThinkT510> LosGringo: /etc/default/grub
[21:43] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: hold SHIFT at boot and you can press E to edit the boot option there
[21:43] <noiro> aguitel, the gears show up
[21:43] <LosGringo> What's that gonna do? How will I then turn the counter off?
[21:43] <noiro> and they are moving at a reasonable framerate
[21:43] <aguitel> noiro, glxinfo say rendering yes?
[21:43] <ThinkT510> LosGringo: 'tis the file to edit, rather self-explanitory when you see it
[21:43] <noiro> aguitel, they don't say anything. Just a window with 3D gears moving.
[21:44] <BenGurion> see just now I had to replug the bluetooth dongle
[21:44] <LosGringo> Awesome. Thank you
[21:44] <HDScorpio> http://imgur.com/a/3ZAgJ Wierd grpahics error, any help?
[21:44] <aguitel> noiro, exit this window
[21:44] <BenGurion> under system settings it said "bo bluetooth adapter found"
[21:44] <BenGurion> no*
[21:44] <aguitel> noiro, type in other terminal glxinfo
[21:45] <HDScorpio> The wierd lines in everything

[21:46] <noiro> aguitel, in terminal, it shows me a ton of hex lines

[21:47] <kyle__> Anyone about using intel 3150 graphics on 12.04?  Is it fantastic, laggy, middle of the road?
[21:47] <HDScorpio> http://imgur.com/a/3ZAgJ If anyone can help me out, I have these wierd lines all over my wallpaper. This used to happen to me on Ubuntu 11.10 aswell
[21:48] <noiro> aguitel: Here is a framerate for the gears: 96694 frames in 5.0 seconds = 19338.752 FPS
[21:48] <BenGurion> great, works on reboot
[21:48] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, i did as you said and i still can't get any sounds
[21:49] <aguitel> noiro, ok
[21:49] <colorsother> after i put in the nouveau.blacklist=1 what do i press to save the option ?
[21:49] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: if you re-check alsamixer is it ok? If you press F6 is the correct sound device selected?
[21:49] <Somelauw> Hi, when using nvidia drivers some fonts are displayed very huge, but only when I'm not running gnome-settings-daemon. When using nouveau drivers fonts are always displayed in a normal format. I'm wondering if I can make the fonts display normal without running gnome-settings-daemon.
[21:49] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: if you use speakers, are they in the right hole?
[21:50] <HDScorpio> http://imgur.com/a/3ZAgJ If anyone can help me out, I have these wierd lines all over my wallpaper. This used to happen to me on Ubuntu 11.10 aswell
[21:51] <ActionPa1snip> HDScorpio: is the system a laptop?
[21:51] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, i checked alsamixer even making sure nothing was muted and everything was at 100 but i didn't check the sound device, did that before but didn't think of that after the reboot. and yes everything is in the right place. i haven't changed anything since i did a fresh install of 12.04 it worked fine before i installed the new ubuntu
[21:51] <noiro> aguitel: Unity works on my computer fine, I just don't like the UI. I want Gnome3's. :P
[21:51] <ActionPa1snip> noiro: then install gnome-shell  and use that
[21:51] <IdleOne> noiro: install gnome-shell, logout, select gnome-shell at login
[21:51] <kyle__> HDScorpio: I'd boot off a CD and run memtest86 if I were you.  Looks like video card using share memory, and it's corrupt.
[21:52] <zykotick9> HDScorpio: if you open the wallpaper image in an image viewing program - does it also have the lines?  and/or try different wallpaper - same issue?
[21:52] <dat789> when you want to disable stuffs from /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop, do you delete, or rename the .desktop files there? Otherwise, the more straight-forward question is how to disable?
[21:52] <HDScorpio> Actionpalsnip Yes, a really old HP-550
[21:52] <noiro> ActionPa1snip: I have. When I select gnome during login, it puts me into Gnome 2
[21:52] <aguitel> Здравствуйте, сразу прошу прощения если не туда пишу. Подскажите пожалуйста утилиту для измерения уровня сигнала вай-фай
[21:52] <ActionPa1snip> noiro: sure you didn't install gnome-panel and not gnome-shell?
[21:52] <HDScorpio> Zykotick, if you look at the other image it's not just the wallpaper. It doesn't happen when I change the wallpaper
[21:53] <zykotick9> !tab > HDScorpio
 When I use sudo apt-get install gnome-shell it says there are no new updates
[21:53] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: my sound troubleshooting skills are limited, maybe others can help
[21:53] <RamJett> I have a NFS question. In NFS v4. How would I use the UID/GID of the client (passwd/group) to map. I do not even need the server to map user/group ..  I've been using NFS v3 for misc file servers and the server has never mapped the UID/GID
[21:53] <CoJaBo> So it turns out the issue is that the "minimal" install of Ubuntu is missing nearly all of the repositories; a fact mentioned nowhere.
[21:54] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, ok, i never encountered this before, first time i used ubuntu i was told to go to alsamixer when i didn't have sound. i did that and now i don't
[21:54] <HDScorpio> Tab wont work..
[21:54] <HDScorpio> So should I run memtest?
[21:54] <UseRR> bash: ./configure: Permission denied
[21:54] <UseRR> why?
[21:54] <kyle__> HDScorpio: I think so.
[21:54] <UseRR> plz help me
[21:55] <kyle__> RamJett: if you don't need the UID/GID parts, you can put insecure in the exports line
[21:55] <ActionPa1snip> UseRR: is it in your users $HOME ?
[21:55] <colorsother> can someone let me know how to save the grub parameters after I edit the boot commmands.. not sure if im save the options i put in
[21:55] <ActionPa1snip> UseRR: and what are you compiling?
[21:55] <tcstar> So, I'm having a permissions issue on SSH I think...  I have a git repo on the server that periodically I have to chown to my user before it will allow me to push anything to it...   Any idea how to fix that?
[21:56] <Dr_willis> colorsother,  you edit the /etc/default/grub file then rerun update-grub as root.
[21:56] <zykotick9> colorsother: to "save" grub options edit /etc/default/grub file - then run "sudo update-grub"
[21:56] <UseRR> ActionPa1snip Comile for omega-0.7.7-stable.tar but bash: ./configure: Permission denied
[21:56] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: you only need to edit it for the first boot then you can install the nvidia proprietary driver :)
[21:56] <zykotick9> Dr_willis: great minds think alike - and fools seldom differ ;)
[21:57] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, got a question, theres something new in alsamixer i don't think i remember from 11.04 but it has auto-mute and its selected as enabled. should that be enabeld or disabled?
[21:57] <bobby_> Since I installed ubuntu 12.04 I've experienced constant graphical glitches where parts of the screen don't always update, it's especially noticable when using the terminal.  Has anyone else seen this or can suggest a solution? It's quite irritating.
[21:57] <Dr_willis> We are all Foos here ;)
[21:57] <ActionPa1snip> !info  omega
[21:57] <ActionPa1snip> hmm
[21:57] <ActionPa1snip> UseRR: is the folder stored in your users home folder?
[21:57] <UseRR> ActionPa1snip yes
[21:57] <Descra> Hi, what set of package do  you recommend for a low computer (1.5Ghz, 512 Mb, mobility radeon 7500)?
[21:58] <ghanima1> Hello all
[21:58] <dat789> when you want to disable stuffs from /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop, do you delete, or rename the .desktop files there? Otherwise, the more straight-forward question is how to disable?
[21:58] <Descra> first i supose that kde is not good! :)
[21:58] <IdleOne> Descra: Try Lubuntu
[21:58] <Descra> IdleOne: i will take a look
[21:58] <Descra> thanks
[21:59] <kyle__> Anyone here using intel 3150 GMA graphics on their system?
[21:59] <bobby_> Anyone?
[21:59] <ActionPa1snip> UseRR: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc    please
[21:59] <Dr_willis> dat789,  you could just move the files somwehere.
[22:00] <ActionPa1snip> bobby_: tried a differnent desktop session, like unity2D?
[22:00] <dat789> Dr.willis: so long as it is not in the autostart folder?
[22:00] <ActionPa1snip> Descra: lubuntu or xubuntu are sleek
[22:00] <sidux> hi
[22:00] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, ok i actually tried and disabled the auto-mute thing in alsamixer. i hear static all the time but when i play a song on rythymbox it plays. do you know how to turn of the static sound?
[22:00] <Dr_willis> dat789,  err.. yes.. that would make sence. ;)
[22:00] <bobby_> ActionPa1snip: no, i'll try that.  The multi monitor support doesnt seem as good on unity2d though, but ill use it if it works.
[22:01] <dat789> Dr.willis: thanks!
[22:01] <ActionPa1snip> bobby_: worth exploring
[22:01] <colorsother>  ActionPa1snip, thanks but after putting in that parameter 12.04 will not load.. but not sure if i am putting in correctly.
[22:01] <colorsother> HOLD SHIFT at bootup to bring up grub menu
[22:01] <colorsother> then press "e" to edit
[22:01] <colorsother> then add the  "nouveau.blacklist=1" line to the bottom
[22:01] <colorsother> then PRESS F10
[22:01] <FloodBot1> colorsother: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:02] <DJRWolf> is there a way to make iTunes work in Ubuntu? native or with wine?
[22:02] <ghanima1> I just purchased a new laptop due to my old one dying on me thankfully the hd is in tack... I installed the new laptop with ubuntu 12. now I am trying to copy my data over but am getting some error Error  Mount on filesystem of type eCryptfs explicitly disallowed due to known incompatibilities.... not sure what to do
[22:02] <ghanima1> any thoughts
[22:02] <Guest60343> hello all
[22:02] <squarepeg> hello
[22:02] <bobby_> I have a problem where Ubuntu will freeze. The only thing i can move is the mouse.  It hangs for about a minute and then resumes.  Anyone seen this on 12?
[22:02] <squarepeg> you know what? I can't change my cursor.
[22:02] <IdleOne> DJRWolf: maybe with wine, see #winehq for more help
[22:02] <Dr_willis> colorsother,  the bottom? it goes on the line where theres a 'splash quiet' at the end of the line. I belive..
[22:02] <Guest60343> na sas pw.. pws mporw na diagrapsw arxeia apo to file system
[22:02] <ActionPa1snip>  UseRR: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc    please
[22:03] <squarepeg> I don't know why but it's damned near impossible to change your cursor.
[22:03] <tcstar> bobby_: i run ubuntu 12.04 on 150 machines and 16 servers, i've never seen that happen
[22:03] <colorsother> is this correct ActionPa1snip?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095708/
[22:03] <squarepeg> People have been griping about it since 2007
[22:03] <IdleOne> !gr | Guest60343
[22:03] <squarepeg> I found a thread of people griping beginning in 2007, right up to 2010 when they gave up, and it still isn't fixed.
[22:03] <spinull> .
[22:03] <Dr_willis> squarepeg,  ive changed mine befor.. havent ttried lately. Ive noticed that often i have to log out/back in for all apps to use the new cursor
[22:04] <ActionPa1snip> colorsother: remove the: quiet splash  and in it's place add: nouveau.blacklist=1
[22:04] <squarepeg> Dr_willis: the difficulty is that you can't change the size
[22:04] <bobby_> tcstar: very happy for you.
[22:04] <squarepeg> I even installed gcursor
[22:04] <Dr_willis> squarepeg,  never noticed or tried.
[22:04] <squarepeg> doesn't do anything
[22:04] <ghanima1> I just purchased a new laptop due to my old one dying on me thankfully the hd is in tack... I installed the new laptop with ubuntu 12. now I am trying to copy my data over but am getting some error Error  Mount on filesystem of type eCryptfs explicitly disallowed due to known incompatibilities.... not sure what to do..... anyone
[22:04] <squarepeg> and I installed big-cursor
[22:04] <squarepeg> Dr_willis: it's just one of thse things, which makes you feel helpless like you're in the USSR or something.
[22:05] <GhostWolf> ok if anyone else can help me, ActionPa1snip helped me to this point. i am not able to hear any music or sound coming from my speakers. i did run alsamixer and put everything to unmute and to 100 as well. still no sound, but there is something new called auto-mute and thats automatically on enabled. when i switch it to disable i hear static type noise and when i play a song i can hear it.
[22:05] <squarepeg> Why can't I have a big honking bourgeosie cursor?
[22:05] <Tonisius> squarepeg: nothing is stopping you from that cursor
[22:05] <colorsother> thanks ActionPa1snip
[22:05] <tcstar> bobby_: you only asked if anyone has had the issue...  I answered and said no in essence and you get defensive?  Now, it sounds to me like you're computer either has a hardware issue or perhaps a runaway process causing it to eatup all of your CPU..
[22:05] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: isn't there the mouse pointer size option under mouse settnigs?
[22:06] <Dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/search?q=change+cursor+size
[22:06] <squarepeg> Tonisius: I'll have to make my own window manager.
[22:06] <colorsother> not too good with Grub yet
[22:06] <squarepeg> everything is interdependent
[22:06] <squarepeg> like a byzantine bureacracy
[22:06] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: nope
[22:06] <bobby_> tcstar: my apologies
[22:06] <squarepeg> The settings don't stick anyway.
[22:07] <Schuenemann> hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 to my netbook using a pendrive recorded with unetbootin. But I get that busybox shell and a kernel panic when I exit it. Any help, please?
[22:07] <bobby_> tcstar: I've ssh'd into it and nothing is using much CPU or anything else
[22:07] <squarepeg> You set it to 48 pixels in the gconf editor and it doesn't stick, but it doesn't give an error message either.
[22:07] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  tried the usb on other machines? could be it was made wrongly.
[22:08] <RamJett> kyle__ : Thanks .. worked
[22:08] <tcstar> bobby_: sorry then.. those are the only things I could think that could be causing any issues...  hardware or cpu issues...  I had a server doing something smilar until I uninstalled some programs that were running away constantly that I didn't really need anyway
[22:08] <squarepeg> maybe I'll tackle this deficiency myself
[22:08] <squarepeg> This can be my thing. I'll be the cursor choice guy.
[22:09] <Schuenemann> Dr_willis, yeah, it didn't work either. First I tested with 64bit version and it worked (but my netbook isn't amd64). Md5 matches with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[22:09] <Schuenemann> Dr_willis, I recorded the same way I did with the 64 bit version. Simply started unetbootin, selected the ISO and the device and waited for the files to copy
[22:09] <bobby_> tcstar: I've run the same harddrive on another identically specced laptop (except the monitor) with the same result.
[22:09] <ActionPa1snip> Schuenemann: did you MD5 test the ISO you used?
[22:10] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  i tend to use the tools from the pendrive linux site. some of them can auto-verify the iso. Or i just Image the ISO straight to the USb
[22:10] <ActionPa1snip> Schuenemann: sorry, misread
[22:10] <GhostWolf> well i actually fixed my own problem, it was soemthing to do with the auto-mute in alsamixer that was on default set on enabled. so i disabled that, with the static type noice i muted everything in alsamixer that has to do with mic. result is no static noise and still able to play and listen to music and sound
[22:10] <zykotick9> squarepeg: fyi - i bet if you use a non-compiz based windows manager your mouse settings would work...  compiz has coused issues with xorg cursor selection for a long long time it seems.  good luck.
[22:10] <Schuenemann> ActionPa1snip, it's ok
[22:10] <ActionPa1snip> GhostWolf: nioe wtg :)
[22:10] <tcstar> :bobby_ sounds like a software issue then when it happens try using atop (i like atop more than top)  to get a detailed look at what's running and that'll hopefully give you an idea of any cpu whore software
[22:10] <kyle__> RamJett: Awesome.
[22:10] <squarepeg> thanks zykotick9
[22:11] <Schuenemann> Dr_willis, how is that "Image the ISO straight to the USb"?
[22:11] <Schuenemann> with mount -o?
[22:11] <GhostWolf> ActionPa1snip, yea i tried to see if you know anything about the auto-mute thing but you didn't respond lol so i didn't know what to do
[22:11] <squarepeg> I just have to drink a lot of coffee every day, or I'll get nothing done.
[22:12] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: not a good sign
[22:12] <GhostWolf> anyways im out, my problem is solved and fixed. have a nice one everyone
[22:12] <kyle__> squarepeg: Just because I always have a fresh pot I'm drinking, my co-workers treat my office like a coffee shop.
[22:13] <squarepeg> kyle__: maybe that's good for networking
[22:13] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: I'll get some adderall soon.
[22:13] <kyle__> Heh.
[22:13] <IdleOne> !ot | squarepeg
[22:13] <squarepeg> I can't seem to keep up with all the top-tier programmers
[22:14] <IdleOne> squarepeg: Please stick to ubuntu support in here, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:14] <squarepeg> yep
[22:14] <squarepeg> I'm just trying to make my cursor big, but I guess there's no easy way.
[22:15] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: let me search
[22:15] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[22:15] <squarepeg> precise
[22:15] <Schuenemann> how can I record the ISO to USB pendrive besides using unetbootin?
[22:15] <squarepeg> I'm in Unity 2D right now.
[22:16] <ActionPa1snip> !info big-cursor
[22:16] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: tried that?
[22:16] <squarepeg> yep, it's installed
[22:16] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: ok
[22:17] <Jordan_U> Schuenemann: The problem is most likely with linux kernel drivers, meaning that since any tool to put Ubuntu on a USB drive will still use the same kernel + initrd, any tool will have the same problem.
[22:17] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxfa2fXJ1Wc   tried those commands in the top right
[22:18] <Schuenemann> Jordan_U, don't understand. Drivers from the box I'm using?
[22:18] <Jordan_U> Schuenemann: If the problem is with linux drivers not being able to access your USB drive, you could work around the problem by using the netboot installer, which doesn't need to access anything from the USB drive after control has been passed to linux.
[22:18] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: I'll try it out
[22:18] <Jordan_U> Schuenemann: Drivers in the linux kernel which support (or in this case *don't* properly support) your computers USB controller.
[22:19] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  I use 'dd' or 'cat' or on windows   'winimage' (i think) to put the image straight to iso. it then thinks the usb is a cd. :)
[22:19] <zykotick9> Schuenemann: if you are on a unix box, then you can cat the iso to the sdX directly with the default 12.04 ISO which is a hybrid iso/usb image.
[22:19] <Schuenemann> Jordan_U, but I have installed ubuntu there before. I actually have it right now
[22:19] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  or use any of tghe dozen tools listed at the Pendrivelinux web site
[22:19] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: seems ok, that guy makes great Ubuntu (and Linux in general) vids
[22:20] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: it is an informative video, and it shows that the configuration  is a major undertaking.
[22:20] <squarepeg> But thank you, I'll let you know the results.
[22:21] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: hardly, just a single setting in dconf...
[22:21] <Schuenemann> Dr_willis, cat ubuntu-12.04-32bits.iso > /media/pendrive/    ?
[22:21] <colorsother> hahaha... okay i've got 12.04 to bootup and i installed the additional nvidia drivers and now the keyboard stop working for some reason.  i can't log into my box...
[22:21] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  i always use dd. :) not sure of the syntax for cat/.
[22:22] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  and you put it on the /dev/sdX  of the device.. NOT its mountpoint
[22:22] <Dr_willis> Schuenemann,  dd if=foo.iso of=/dev/sdb     (DONT make a mistake and use a wrong device)
[22:22] <zykotick9> Schuenemann: incorrect syntax for cat!!!  you need to "sudo -i" first then select the USB drive (not a partition) "cat blah.iso > /dev/sdb"
[22:22] <ActionPa1snip> Dr_willis: thats always entertaining
[22:23] <Schuenemann> ok, it's going now
[22:24] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: does it work ok now?
[22:24] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: It works for some windows, but not everywhere.
[22:24] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: did you reboot?
[22:24] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: no
[22:24] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: well...the video shows a reboot....
[22:24] <squarepeg> okay, I'll do that
[22:24] <squarepeg> brb
[22:24] <rhizmoe> how do i keep the unity scroll thingy from subverting resize handles?
[22:25] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: if you only follow half a guide, you won't getthe result
[22:25] <rhizmoe> i want to resize, but ubuntu thinks it knows better than me what i want to do.
[22:26] <rhizmoe> pretty sure the channel has probably stopped responding to gnome3 questions by now
[22:26] <species> i wonder why that is
[22:26] <species> i have serious beef with gnome3 myself
[22:26] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: gnome3 is the default DE, so I doubt that a lot
[22:27] <species> ActionPa1snip: if we did a show of hands, how many people here use gnome3 do you think?
[22:27] <rhizmoe> ActionPa1snip: well, the overall idea seems to be to shut up and like it. meanwhile, i have trouble resizing windows
[22:27] <ActionPa1snip> species: i'd say most ni here as it isthe default DE in Ubuntu...
[22:27] <species> im not trolling, this is a serious question
[22:27] <rhizmoe> i bought a new video card for it, does that count?
[22:27] <species> ActionPa1snip: in the same way as windows is the default OS on pc's?
[22:28] <rhizmoe> you aren't going to get a "show of hands" on irc, btw
[22:28] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: you don't have to at all, there is nothing stopping you using LXDE, XFCE or KDE for example
[22:28] <species> rhizmoe: o/
[22:28] <species> see, show of hands
[22:28] <species> yeah, lxde ftw
[22:28] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: back
[22:28] <rhizmoe> ActionPa1snip: is that to say there's no way for me to resize a window without a scroll thumb appearing under my cursor?
[22:28] <squarepeg> Still the big cursor works only in special circumstances.
[22:29] <squarepeg> When I resize my window, it's big.
[22:29] <squarepeg> inside my web browser I have the big cursor
[22:29] <squarepeg> but on the desktop, I have the small cursor
[22:29] <lifestream> I used to know a command line to "press and hold a key
[22:29] <lifestream> Oops.
[22:30] <squarepeg> I bet it would look like an invisible speck on a retina display
[22:30] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: no idea, not something I do tbh
[22:30] <rhizmoe> you don't resize windows? ok.
[22:30] <lifestream> I used to know a command line to "press and hold a key" for me, but I can't remember what it was called. Does anyone know it? Because in one game, I want to hold down a key all the time.
[22:30] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: thanks for your help. I got it partially figured out.
[22:30] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: cool
[22:30] <Casey> ok i got it to run the script
[22:30] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: all I did was search the web :)
[22:30] <Casey> but it won't send the email
[22:30] <squarepeg> But someone made it so the cursor size is locked.
[22:30] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: I don't use GUI much except web browsers
[22:31] <squarepeg> Yeah, me too. I tried that video and couldn't get the change to take full effect.
[22:31] <Casey> whats the mail sent log for ssmtp?
[22:31] <Casey> wheres
[22:31] <ActionPa1snip> Casey: check in /var/log
[22:31] <squarepeg> Anyway, I'm not sure what is the limitation for the regular desktop cursor
[22:31] <rhizmoe> ActionPa1snip: that's funny, because i mostly bump up against this in terminal windows.
[22:31] <squarepeg> There are two cursor modes
[22:31] <squarepeg> one remains unchanged.
[22:31] <rhizmoe> maybe you don't use scroll buffers
[22:31] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: guake is extended horizontally and has enogh vertical space :)
[22:32] <squarepeg> So i guess I want to figure out how to change the primary cursor mode. Gnome did something to hard-code this.
[22:32] <ActionPa1snip> squarepeg: could ask in #gnome
[22:32] <rhizmoe> "i never resize windows...i'd better answer someone's question about it!"
[22:33] <lifestream> In case anyone was wondering what program can Press and Hold a Key for me, it was called xsendkeycode. See you later!
[22:33] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: all I said is that you don't have to use gnome..
[22:33] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: don't put words in my mouth
[22:33] <squarepeg> ActionPa1snip: perhaps I will.
[22:34] <rhizmoe> [15:30] < ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: no idea, not something I do tbh
[22:34] <rhizmoe> "don't use gnome" isn't a good answer, tbh
[22:34] <rhizmoe> but i'm not here to fight!
[22:34] <ActionPa1snip> rhizmoe: you asked me, directly, a question. Its rude to not reply isn't it
[22:35] <ActionPa1snip> 23:29 < rhizmoe> ActionPa1snip: is that to say there's no way for me to resize a window without a scroll thumb appearing under my cursor
[22:36] <myhero> how to install xfce on 12.04 ???? sudo apt-get install xubuntu-destop is not wrking on terminal and software center is not showing any other xubuntu desktop environment pacakages....
[22:36] <ActionPa1snip> myhero: sudo apt-get install xfce4   will install a minimal xfce desktop
[22:36] <danub> why are packages "kept back" during an upgrade?
[22:36] <Casey> i'm trying to get this script to send a email i got it to run but it won't send it i think its a error iun the script, also i'm useing ssmtp to send the email
[22:36] <Casey> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095751/
[22:37] <ActionPa1snip> danub: because their dependencies are not met yet
[22:37] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: hii action how r u....
[22:37] <ActionPa1snip> myhero: not bad, you ok?
[22:37] <danub> ActionPa1snip: how do i go about findout out what dependancies are missing?
[22:37] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: m gud....so after many days....
[22:38] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: i wanna install full and not minimal....any other way 2 install full xubuntu desktop environment
[22:39] <ActionPa1snip> danub: they are on the repos, as soon as the repos get the deps for the package it will install. Its not something you can sort
[22:39] <danub> Casey: not much of a shell scripter. all my stuff is in perl. my guess is the mail command is wrong somehow
[22:39] <ActionPa1snip> !info xubuntu-desktop
[22:39] <danub> ActionPa1snip: ahh. i was looking and was like, i want amarok... why hold it back
[22:39] <ActionPa1snip> myhero: do you have universe repo enabled
[22:40] <Schuenemann> Dr_willis, I think I just broke the pendrive
[22:40] <ActionPa1snip> danub: the amarok package is ready, but the packages it needs are not at the right versions yet, so it is held back
[22:40] <Schuenemann> it isn't mounting anymore
[22:40] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: yes....main universe multiverse and restricted....
[22:40] <danub> gotcha
[22:40] <rhizmoe> Casey: does mail -s "test" your@email work?
[22:40] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: so i should do xfce4 as u said or xubuntu-meta ???
[22:41] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: and why is xubuntu-desktop not showing anything ???
[22:42] <ActionPa1snip> myhero: try:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[22:42] <danub> anyone in here live in Minnesota?
[22:42] <danub> nvm, off-topic
[22:43] <Schuenemann> zykotick9, the pendrive doesn't mount anymore. I type "mount" and it doesn't show up
[22:43] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: i did update int he 1st place then tried xubuntu-dsktop in software center then did sudo apt.....xubuntu-desktop and then when it didn't showed up then i came here....
[22:43] <danub> Schuenemann: that just tells you what is mounted. you might have to mount it again or try disconnecting and reconnecting
[22:44] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: and whether my system is update or not but why is it not being showed in software center
[22:44] <Schuenemann> danub, I did. It blinks a few times and nothing more
[22:45] <myhero> ActionPa1snip: i did update in the 1st place then tried xubuntu-dsktop in software center then did sudo apt.....xubuntu-desktop and then when it didn't showed up then i came here....
[22:45] <Wug> alright so I have me an issue
[22:45] <myhero> ActionParsnip: and whether my system is updated or not but why is it not being showed in software center
[22:45] <danub> something might be wrong with the drive, but you can try to mount it manually. you just have to find the location and the format type. in the old gnome menu you could use the computer janitor to tell you about the drive, but i dont know where to look in unity for that info
[22:45] <Wug> I bought a 7970 and replaced my old 9800 with it
[22:46] <Wug> 7970 is an amd graphics card for those who may be unaware
[22:46] <Schuenemann> danub, it was working ok until I did "cat ubuntu.iso > /dev/sdb
[22:46] <Wug> trying to update the drivers fails, and refers me to a nonexistent log file
[22:46] <Wug> its perplexing.
[22:47] <Wug> the log file in question is /var/log/jockey.log
[22:47] <cascadia> I've got a question for people more skilled with Ubuntu than me: The hard drive on which my /home partition resided has failed. It no longer works. Consequently, I can't login to my system anymore because the home folder is gone. There was no important data in that home folder, so I am not worried about it being gone, but I'd like to be able to get back in to my system without reinstalling Ubuntu. What do I need to do to fix the login issue?
[22:47] <Casey> no mail don't work but i can send mail useing ssmtp
[22:47] <danub> Schuenemann: i dont think that is the right command for that.
[22:48] <Casey> command
[22:48] <danub> Casey: your sendmail isn't setup right then
[22:48] <Wug> cascadia: can you boot to single user mode
[22:49] <fliesentisch> Hi everyone, how can I mount my canon eos 600d as a normal drive?
[22:49] <Wug> I believe you do that by adding "-1" to the end of the boot arguments, which you can do from grub I think by pressing e
[22:49] <Wug> its either that or "-single"
[22:49] <Wug> tell me if you get that far
[22:50] <cascadia> Wug: Will try that now
[22:50] <Sazpaimon> how do I enable javascript in the elinks deb?
[22:50] <Casey> well how do i get the mail command to use ssmtp?
[22:51] <HDScorpio> http://i.imgur.com/BJWMA.jpg  Youtube fullscreen error, didn't happen in 11.10. Upgraded to 12.04 yesterday and this is happening
[22:51] <Schuenemann> danub, so? The pendrive is screwed?
[22:52] <danub> Schuenemann: actually, ignore me. that seems to be the directions for making a USB an iso bootable drive. my guess is that now that you have it as a bootable drive, ubuntu doesn't want to mount it
[22:52] <Wug> cascadia: I'm in dozens of channels.  ping me to attract my attention
[22:52] <Munz> thank you for making ubuntu :) just two things : cant adjust the volume while a "full-screen" application is running "game" also i can not adjust the "screen brightness on my toshiba laptop"
[22:53] <HDScorpio> http://i.imgur.com/BJWMA.jpg  Youtube fullscreen error, didn't happen in 11.10. Upgraded to 12.04 yesterday and this is happening
[22:53] <cascadia> Wug: Okay
[22:53] <HDScorpio> This error is unrelated to my previous, which is sorted out now.
[22:53] <Wug> in su mode?
[22:53] <danub> Schuenemann: you will need to manually mount that most likey. 'sudo mkdir /media/pendrive;sudo mount -t iso /dev/sdb /media/pendrive' if memory serves
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> HDScorpio: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[22:53] <Munz> thank you for making ubuntu :) just two things : cant adjust the volume while a "full-screen" application is running "game" also i can not adjust the "screen brightness on my toshiba laptop"
[22:54] <amliby> Where is the proper place to save log files? Lintian gives a warning for logs saved in /var/log/myprog/
[22:54] <Wug> cascadia: youre in single user mode?
[22:54] <Schuenemann> danub, yeah, it's indeed bootable. I'll install it on the netbook
[22:54] <cascadia> Wug: Booting up the OS right now
[22:54]  * jagginess thinks Munz is spamming the same message at least 3 times in 1 minute
[22:54] <cascadia> not yet to point where I can enter grub
[22:54] <Munz> sorry
[22:55] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, getting that now
[22:55] <danub> Schuenemann: yeah. you will have to manually mount that then. try the commands i gave u earlier if you want to mount it.
[22:55] <Munz> thank you for making ubuntu :) just two things : cant adjust the volume while a "full-screen" application is running "game" also i can not adjust the "screen brightness on my toshiba laptop"
[22:55] <sudo-apt-get> ubuntu doesnt support webgl?
[22:55] <jagginess> !ops Munz spamming same message over and over
[22:55] <Wug> Munz: if youre going to spam that over and over, at least fix the grammar errors
[22:55] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/rjZZnbjs
[22:56] <Munz> Wug: sorry i thought u meant i should do that , second english is not my native language .... have a nice night
[22:57] <sudo-apt-get> I cannot open a website in ubuntu becoz it says no webgl supported.
[22:57] <sudo-apt-get> Please help
[22:57] <ActionParsnip> HDScorpio: all I can recommend is uninstalling flashplugin-installer and enabling the partner repo, then install adobe-flashplugin
[22:57] <jagginess> sudo-apt-get, try a different webbrowser
[22:57] <danub> sudo-apt-get: its not ubuntu, its the browser/hardware ur using
[22:58] <sudo-apt-get> i am using chrome
[22:58] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, how would I go about that?
[22:58] <danub> whats the site?
[22:58] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, I'm a skid at that stuff
[22:58] <sudo-apt-get> http://ramayana.sites.f-i.com/
[22:59] <danub> works fine for me
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> HDScorpio: use software centre
[22:59] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, Oh, okay
[22:59] <Wug> cascadia: does it boot to SU mode
[22:59] <cascadia> Wug: Having trouble getting into grub.
[23:00] <sudo-apt-get> The site says my graphics card doesnt support webGL
[23:00] <AlphaOmega> hello.  I just had 4 ubuntu servers reboot "mysteriously" and each one came back up within 20 second of each other.  Is this an ubuntu thing?  could ubuntu 10.04 server reboot itself from a security update or something?
[23:00] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, Ah, the flash I have appears to be for mozilla when I'm running chrome, maybe thats the error?
[23:00] <cascadia> Wug: I've tried both Shift and Esc keys,
[23:00] <sudo-apt-get> how can i put webgl in graphics card.
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> HDScorpio: the plaugin will work in both
[23:00] <danub> sudo-apt-get: so double check that your graphics card drivers are installed correctly. if yes, then your card is too old
[23:01] <danub> sudo-apt-get: a graphics card is either WebGL compatible or its not.
[23:01] <Schuenemann> dammit my wifi driver is proprietary
[23:01] <sudo-apt-get> danub, My hard drive crashed somedays ago. How to put drivers in it?
[23:01] <sudo-apt-get> Webgl worked before.
[23:02] <Schuenemann> how necessary is it to be connected to the internet while installing ubuntu?
[23:02] <danub> then its probably just bad/incorrect drivers
[23:02] <danub> figure out what card you have and then google 'ubuntu install {graphics card} driver' where {graphics card} = whatever your graphics card is
[23:03] <Jordan_U> Schuenemann: Not at all, unless you're using the netinstall image of course.
[23:03] <Wug> cascadia: pound every key
[23:03] <danub> Schuenemann: depends on the install media your using
[23:03] <Wug> use a binary search lol
[23:03] <Schuenemann> Jordan_U, ok, I'll install this driver later then
[23:03] <Wug> anyway no solution so I'll ask again
[23:04] <cascadia> Wug: Been doing that
[23:04] <danub> what are you trying to do cascadia ?
[23:04] <Wug> danub: get into grub
[23:04] <danub> for what? to just modify the grub list or what?
[23:05] <cascadia> danub: I think the idea is to boot into singleuser mode
[23:05] <Wug> danub: boot into single user mode because the drive /home was on died
[23:05] <Casey> who uses ssmtp?
[23:05] <Wug> so fstab needs to be enfiddled
[23:06] <Wug> I bought a new graphics card (radeon 7970) to replace old one (nvidia 9800gtx+), trying to activate the proprietary drivers, but the installation is failing and referring me to a logfile (/var/log/jockey.log) which just happens to not exist
[23:07] <danub> to get into single usermode you should just be able to 'init 1' and get into it. but i have never went into single usermode so i dont know how much that will help you
[23:07] <Wug> danub: he cant boot normally
[23:07] <Wug> anyway, I've checked all of the retard stuff like file permissions and disk space
[23:08] <Wug> I've concluded that it's not me being retarded
[23:08] <HDScorpio> ActionParsnip, The reinstall didn't work
[23:09] <cascadia> Wug: I haven't been able to get into grub, but... I have successfully logged in to a textonly console (tty)
[23:09] <danub> Wug: try 'sudo updatedb;locate jockey'
[23:09] <Wug> cascadia: oh, herp
[23:09] <Wug> here I am going through all these extra hoops
[23:09] <Wug> boot and login to a tty
[23:09] <Wug> i've heard that if I were to say "installing 7970 drivers on ubuntu is impossible because such and such a biased anti ubuntu reason" I would immediately get 500 helpful comments
[23:10] <bekks> Having three hardlinked files A B C - how can I rename B and C when renaming A to A* ?
[23:10] <Wug> and then be kickbanned
[23:11] <danub> Wug: did you try that command to locate the jockey file?
[23:11] <amliby> Where is the appropriate place to save log files?
[23:12] <Wug> danub: yeah.... into an ssh session on some remote computer.  no wonder I wasnt getting anywhere
[23:12] <Jordan_U> Wug: People here are trying to be helpful. If they know how to fix the problem you're having they will probably reply to your question. Being inpolite / trolling will just convince people who might otherwise help you to instead ignore you
[23:12] <Wug> should I append "| grep \.log" ?
[23:12] <danub> cascadia: in the command window, you can try 'update-grub'. or you can play with the /etc/grub.d/ files
[23:13] <Wug> Jordan_U: its a joke
[23:13] <danub> Wug: i cant image there are that many files named 'jockey', but you can if you want lol
[23:13] <Wug> danub: theres quite a list actually
[23:13] <danub> then by all means, grep for log
[23:13] <danub> lol
[23:14] <Wug> there are no .log files
[23:14] <Wug> how uninformative
[23:14] <Jordan_U> cascadia: Did you actually hold shift during boot?
[23:15] <Wug> Jordan_U: the joke is that the easiest way to get help with ubuntu (or any other linux distro) is to say $DISTRO sucks because I can't X
[23:15] <Wug> you will hear more ways to accomplish X than you would have ever thought possible
[23:16] <Wug> danub: drawing a blank here.
[23:16] <PlayingNaked> i need some ubuntu help, i am a newb - probably an easy answer
[23:16] <danub> Wug: yeah, im not finding anything on a quick google search for it.
[23:16] <Wug> WAHEY
[23:16] <danub> i see they put out a special catalyst driver, but i dont know if that is what you need
[23:16] <Wug> I found it
[23:17] <danub> what was it?
[23:17] <Wug> apparently it doesnt flush to disk until I close the message
[23:17] <danub> LOL
[23:17] <PlayingNaked> i have installed ubuntu on my windows machine, dual booting. I performed an automatic partitioning when installing
[23:17] <Wug> which I hadnt done, because I was reading the filename
[23:17] <danub> well that will teach you
[23:17] <cascadia> Jordan_U: Yeah, that's what I was trying
[23:17] <Wug> here take this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1095809/
[23:17] <PlayingNaked> anyways, i dont have any free space on my ubuntu OS- and when i run gparted, i only see the windows partition (when booting from live cd)
[23:18] <heligoland> hi
[23:19] <Wug> it complains 3 times becayse it cant find the module it hasnt installed yet
[23:19] <heligoland> Can someone please, please plese help me get my Belkin wifi adapter working?
[23:19] <aaGp> anyone who can help me out with Disk Utility ?
[23:19] <Wug> aaGp: what do you need from it
[23:20] <Schuenemann> is it normal in the installation to take a long time stopped? The bar has not moved for about 10 minutes
[23:20] <danub> Wug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11413368
[23:20] <danub> that help you out?
[23:20] <Schuenemann> is says creating filesystem ext4 to / in sda
[23:21] <Schuenemann> the pendrive isn't blinking anymore
[23:21] <cascadia> danub: ran update-grub
[23:21] <aaGp> Wug: the thing is, that i want to change the format from my external HD that is NTFS to FAT32 that way i can plug it in to my DVD player, i have read that is possible doing that.
[23:21] <gavin__> hello
[23:21] <gavin__> I need some help
[23:21] <aaGp> wug: i just dont want to format the HD just to change the format
[23:21] <danub> gavin__: just ask
[23:21] <gavin__> I'm trying to play a DVD and it won't let me play it on Ubuntu
[23:21] <danub> cascadia: did it fix ya?
[23:21] <raptx0r> hi guys! Please help me! i've deleted for mistake /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ entirely! What should i do now?
[23:22] <gavin__> it keeps saying can't find the resource or something like that
[23:22] <gavin__> I can't seem to locate the issue
[23:22] <PlayingNaked> I am dual booting windows and Ubuntu; i dont have any free space left on my Ubuntu- Gparted does not show two partitions, is this configured somehwere else?
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> !dvd | gavin__
[23:23] <gavin__> !dvd, won't seem to play
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: did you try removing unused kernels and clearing space with bleachbit?
[23:23] <aaGp> wu: there's an option that is called Edit Partition, where appears the option what format do u want to give to the HD, i just wanna make sure that nothing is gonna happend with all my files that i have inside of my external HD..
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4; sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh; sudo apt-get upgrade
[23:23] <PlayingNaked> I have not used bleachbit yet, no. Will bleachbit clear the unused kernals as well, or is that a terminal command?
[23:23] <gavin__> ActionParsnip: What does that command do?#
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: ubuntu tweak can do it, or you can do it manually
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: guess...based on your initial question....
[23:24] <danub> lol
[23:24] <PleXuS> is there a universal music file ID Tag reader for MP3 and FLAC and other file systems? or read id3info those also?
[23:24] <PlayingNaked> ActionParsnip, is Ubuntu running on my Windows drive and not a seperate partition?
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: those commands are in the playiingDVD link that ubottu gave too
[23:24] <gavin__> ActionParsnip: Would that sort the main issue out and the Discs will work
[23:25] <gavin__> Ah ok
[23:25] <gavin__> Thanks
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: that's why that factoid exists
[23:25] <Wug> well whatever
[23:25] <danub> and on that note, im off to finish my scripts. later all.
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: so we don't have to give the command, as loads of people ask
[23:25] <Wug> danub: that sort of helped
[23:25] <danub> Wug: sort of?
[23:25] <Wug> it might have installed but failed to load
[23:25] <Wug> some of it is definitely there
[23:25] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: if you have the folder /host   your are using wubi
[23:26] <Wug> I dont get the same output for any of the commands listed in the thread
[23:26] <Wug> mostly error messages
[23:26] <danub> thats not good
[23:26] <Wug> will try restarting
[23:26] <Schuenemann> is it normal in the installation to take a long time stopped? The bar has not moved for about 10 minutes
[23:26] <PlayingNaked> ActionParsnip: looks like I am using wubi
[23:26] <Wug> if the driver is just not loaded because whatever other one was in use that might fix it
[23:26] <gavin__> ActionParsnip: Ah ok, I understand what you're saying now, a lot of people used to ask about the commands and thank you for your advice
[23:27] <danub> Wug: it might. it might be locked. give it a restart. cant hurt lol
[23:27] <ironhalik> anyone noticed menus being drawn below active windows? Ie. right click menu being hidden beneath nautilus window, etc.
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> gavin__: PlayingNaked you can use that folder to access the data on your Windows OS. Dead handy
[23:28] <raptx0r> how can i do ? i've deleted the entire directory /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ for a mistake. I know that i'm insistent, but it's urgent. Please.
[23:28] <tensorpudding> do you have backups
[23:29] <gavin__> ActionParsnip: Mine isn't Windows OS, mines Ubuntu OS
[23:29] <tensorpudding> if not, you are probably going to have to reinstall your system
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: gavin__ sorry, crossed wires
[23:29] <tensorpudding> if you delete the majority of your system libraries things will not work
[23:30] <goddard> are there any remote system log viewer programs?
[23:30] <Schuenemann> goddard, nano, vim, less
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: the install method isn't that important. You can remove old kernels and get a lot of space back
[23:31] <ironhalik> Really could use some help - I have no idea how to google it :) Since every query with 'windows' and 'ubuntu' returns dualbooting :)
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> goddard: less is great
[23:31] <goddard> Schuenemann: that works but i was thinking a graphical remote viewer
[23:31] <goddard> alright
[23:31] <PlayingNaked> ActionParsnip, even i fi can access my windiws dir from /host - I have like 100 gigs free, but my ubuntu says I only have 156 MBs or so. Where may I modify that?
[23:33] <PlayingNaked> ActionParsnip, ok, ill give that a shit
[23:33] <PlayingNaked> shot
[23:33] <goddard> haha
[23:33] <ironhalik> :>
[23:34] <Jordan_U> PlayingNaked: Free space in Wubi has to do with how much of the filesystem contained in the root.disk file is in use, not how much free space there is on your Windows partition.
[23:35] <PlayingNaked> ok, makes sense. if running ubuntu tweak or bleachbit doesnt free up enough- ill be back to see how we can increase that file if at all
[23:37] <Schuenemann> is it normal in the installation to take a long time stopped? The bar has not moved for about 20 minutes
[23:37] <danub> back
[23:37] <danub> Schuenemann: if it is still hung on installing /, something screwed up
[23:38] <Schuenemann> *sigh* rebooting...
[23:39] <gavin__> thank you for your help guys
[23:39] <gavin__> gtg now bye
[23:39] <Phoenixz> Running Kubuntu 11.10 on an 8 core i7 /w 8GB... I start one instance of virtualbox with windows 7 (using 3GB w 128MB graphics mem), and my entire system grinds to a halt while accessing disk.. From what I can see, the system is swapping like nuts.. Is this normal? What could be the problem, and how could it be fixed?
[23:39] <Phoenixz> or at least improved?
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> PlayingNaked: running:  uname -a  shows the running kernel. You can use software centre to remove what isn't needed
[23:42] <rhizmoe> Phoenixz: you should get more ram if you want to run 3G vm's
[23:42] <bekks> Nonsense.
[23:43] <bekks> Before starting the VM, take a look at free -m
[23:43] <bekks> It will tell you how much RAM is left including caches.
[23:44] <Phoenixz> rhizmoe: Running only 1 VM? Thats 8-3 =5 for kubuntu.... Should be way more then enough..
[23:44] <Phoenixz> rhizmoe: and it does not explain why virtualbox starts swapping like crazy
[23:44] <Phoenixz> I just disabled swap, and now it runs acceptably...
[23:44] <bekks> ps -ef and free -m will explain it.
[23:45] <bekks> And take a look at the swappiness on your box, which is a setting in /etc/sysctl.conf
[23:46] <Ziber> So I'm watching a youtube video, and it's stupidly sped up. Maybe I have to upgrade flash player or something?
[23:47] <Phoenixz> bekks: more then enough available.. I'll check swapiness yeah
[23:47] <Schuenemann> danub, I can't believe it's stuck there in the same point
[23:48] <cascadia> danub: I edited grub to force the menu to appear at boot. So now it shows up. What now?
[23:48] <Phoenixz> Set swapiness to 5.. basically, my dev compu should NOT swap
[23:49] <danub> then there is something wrong. It probably cant access the disk or something. I had this problem back with ubuntu 8.04 not playing nice with my jmicro raid controller. it could access the disk and just sat there. I haven't had the problem in a long time though so i dont know how to fix your problem or where to view the install logs at
[23:49] <danub> cascadia: i dont know. what are you trying to do? move /home to a different disk or something?
[23:50] <Ziber> Seem to have some issues when watching youtube videos, it plays faster than normal. Any ideas for a fix?
[23:50] <chaospsychex> Can u untu be installed on the samsung galaxy s ii?
[23:50] <PlayingNaked> bleachbit is hanging or something- any suggestions on how i might kill it? I sure hope its not wiping my windows dir
[23:50] <cascadia> danub: Goal is to be able to boot into the GUI without it throwing up an error, like it has been doing, and returning me to the login screen.
[23:51] <|Long|> my crontab job does not start as time schduled can someone plz help?
[23:51] <danub> what is the error it is throwing? you said you had a HD crash... did it wipe out everything?
[23:52] <danub> |Long|: what does the entry look like in cron?
[23:52] <|Long|> danub, here 0 20 * * *           /glftpd/bin/tur-newday_0day.sh  auto
[23:52] <|Long|> 10 20 * * *         /glftpd/bin/tur-newday_0day.sh close
[23:52] <|Long|> 12 20 * * *        /glftpd/bin/tur-newday_mp3.sh  auto
[23:52] <|Long|> 14 20 * * *       /glftpd/bin/tur-newday_mp3.sh close
[23:53] <|Long|> it was time started at 19 i just changed
[23:53] <danub> you are doing it wrong
[23:53] <Ziber> Could a problem with flash lead to sped up youtube videos?
[23:54] <danub> it would be '0 20 * * * program to run > output
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> |Long|: do you have a desktop UI?
[23:54] <|Long|> ok, let me change it now
[23:55] <|Long|> ActionParsnip, yes i did installed that GUI version but didnt started
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> |Long|: how do you mean 'didn't started'?
[23:56] <|Long|> cuz it was set at 0 19 but nothing happened
[23:56] <Schuenemann> can anyone tell me what is wrong with my attempt to install ubuntu with a pendrive? This is the 2nd time the installation simply hangs at about 40%
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> Schuenemann: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[23:57] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip, yes, it matched
[23:57] <glitsj16> PlayingNaked: if you enabled bleachbit's item to overwrite free disk space (system stanza) it could take very long indeed .. better verify that you have that disabled before killing bleacbit
[23:57] <PlayingNaked> yeah, thats what it was
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> Schuenemann: do you get web access in the liveCD desktop?
[23:57] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip, the log says "asking for cache data failed"
[23:57] <Ziber> Nobody knows about ubuntu+flash problems?
[23:57] <PlayingNaked> and i didnt launch it with sudo
[23:57] <PlayingNaked> thanks glitsj16
[23:57] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip, no, the wifi driver is proprietary
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> Ziber: in what way?
[23:58] <glitsj16> PlayingNaked: you're welcome
[23:58] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip, Test WP failed, assume write enabled
[23:58] <PlayingNaked> With ubuntu-tweak, i cannot seem to get it to "clean" is that because i didnt launch it as root?
[23:58] <Ziber> ActionParsnip: The youtube video just plays at a faster rate than it should. Which is an odd error.
[23:58] <Casey> i need help with a small problem in a sh script
[23:58] <Casey> i need to change sec to mins
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> Schuenemann: if you make the USB device with some persistance then use another system that gets you web access, you may be able to upgrade the ubiquity app
[23:58] <glitsj16> PlayingNaked: yes, it needs enhanced privileges to do anything under /
[23:58] <Casey> RUNTIME="Remaining Runtime: $REMAINING_RUNTIME Seconds"
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> Ziber: can you pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[23:59] <Schuenemann> ActionParsnip, sorry, can you explain? Not clear for me
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> Schuenemann: if you use persistence, you can make changes to the install USB and they will stick, including updates. So if you upgrade the installer application you may find it helps

[17:33] <cooper> are there any plugins available for firefox that run the latest version of shockwave
[17:38] <cooper> hello
[18:10] <cooper> im looking for a plug in for firefox that will run the latest version of shockwave
[18:15] <OvenWerks> cooper you are more likely to get an answer to that in #ubuntu than here. (more people)
[18:18] <cooper> ok thanks
[21:35] <cooper> need some help freeing up space in boot partition for updates
[21:36] <cooper> tried autoclean and purge and autoremove
[21:52] <sakrecoer> cooper: if it dosent work you can manualy remove old versions in there, but it is a risky operation. are you familiar with the version numbers of kernel stuff?
[21:55] <sakrecoer> if you paste a link to a screen shot of what is in your /boot i can help you, also i need you to tell me the output of this command in a terminal: uname -r

[09:02] <tarjei> [Ubuntu 12.04] Is it possible to have a job that depends on postgres having started?
[09:03] <tarjei> postgres does not use upstart, so I would need some way to set the service to start after it
[09:03] <tarjei> is that possible?
[09:14] <jodh> tarjei: see http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#standard-idioms
[09:15] <jodh> tarjei: you should probably specify 'start on stopped rc' but not that that assumes the SysV postgresql service script doesn't "lie" and return before postgresql is actually able to service new client requests.
[09:16] <jodh> tarjei: s/but not/but note/
