[20:07] <Darkenvy> that ppa penguincsc would not add because of invalid key
[20:07] <kurtwp_> Darkenvy: they were bought by Oracle
[20:07] <Pricey> DuxB: I assume you're not dual booting?
[20:07] <DuxB> Darkenvy: it was purchased by oracle
[20:07] <xangua> !gpgerr | Darkenvy
[20:07] <DuxB> Pricey: I am, but I rarely if ever use windows
[20:07] <Darkenvy> I tried that and it said unsafe ownership of file
[20:07] <SafariMonkey> xangua, is resetting thye best option?
[20:08] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: follow this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[20:08] <Pricey> DuxB: This is a crappy idea... but boot into windows and see what that says?
[20:08] <Galvatron> SafariMonkey: As you speak about it, yes, I'd have such issues prior to swiching to Kubuntu
[20:08] <xangua> SafariMonkey: not sure why the Unity laucnhe/plugins disabled, is it enabled¿
[20:08] <concrete_> Darkenvy, If you are having problems install Oracle Java try this http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux
[20:08] <Galvatron> *I'd had
[20:08] <DuxB> Pricey: worth trying
[20:08] <Pricey> DuxB: If that has the overclocked values, we can be pretty sure hardware is fine, ubuntu needs kicking
[20:08] <Galvatron> But I han  never linked tom to "Scale"
[20:08] <Pricey> dueyfins-: wheras if that also shows the original stuff, there might be something else wrong...
[20:09] <Pricey> bah
[20:09] <concrete_> Oracle Java is so easy to install
[20:09] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: follow this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[20:09] <SafariMonkey> xangua, when unity breaks it usually leaves me worse off than this. and unity doesn't have a tick-box...
[20:09] <Galvatron> Instead I had decided that Unity + the development Compiz is way too defective/unstable and went for KDE 4.8
[20:11] <faz> list
[20:11] <SafariMonkey> Galvatron, I find as long as I avoid certain combos, it's usually fairly stable. I haven't figured rotate cube out yet, though.
[20:11] <concrete_> Penguincsc, Don't always relay on some one else's potentially buggy script learn to install Oracle Java manually just in case things go wrong http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux
[20:12] <guntbert> faz: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ».
[20:12] <SafariMonkey> fyi I have i7 950, gtx 460, 6gb ram
[20:12] <shaneo> hi guys everytime i try to connect to anything running on apache2 it just downloads the php file instead of loading the page any suggestion
[20:13] <nemo> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/795038/comments/10
[20:13] <concrete_> Galvatron, I have heard so many people complain about Unity that is why I am waiting until the first point release of Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS after July 2012
[20:13] <nemo> Does anyone know how to enable these "integrated menus in titlebar" ?
[20:13] <nemo> Unity's current GIMP behaviour is really annoying
[20:14] <shaneo> in particular wordpress and phpMyAdmin
[20:15] <xangua> nemo: you mean the global menubar¿ are you using unity¿
[20:15] <Penguincsc> concrete_: It's not "someone's buggy script" Webupd8 are great and have a lot of cool stuff that works great
[20:15] <SafariMonkey> ok resetting
[20:15] <zanberdo> shaneo, attempting to access localhost? it's likely you have not installed libapache2-mod-php5
[20:15] <zanberdo> or some variation of it.
[20:16] <shaneo> zanberdo, ok ill check
[20:16] <Galvatron> concrete_: As much as I like Unity, I'm waiting for 12.10 - maybe they'll finally go out of alpfa at least.
[20:16] <Galvatron> nemo: Which menus?
[20:16] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: did it work?
[20:16] <chadi> Galvatron: if I have two terminal windows, how in unity can I get a list of open terminals?
[20:17] <shaneo> zanberdo, ok it wasnt installed also php5-cgi isnt installed should i install it
[20:17] <shaneo> n/m
[20:17] <Galvatron> chadi: as I said, the simplest way would be astivating the "Scale" plugin
[20:17] <zanberdo> shaneo, That all depends on what you are hoping to achieve.  I am still working under the presumption that you are attempting to access your own server (localhost). It will depend on what php-cgi provides.
[20:18] <zanberdo> shaneo, ah, ok, you figured it out. cheers!
[20:18] <Darkenvy> okay
[20:18] <chadi> Galvatron: it is activated! yet, when I click on the terminal icon, I don't get them in the scale overview, but only get the last opened terminal.
[20:18] <Darkenvy> Penguincsc, "java version" returns could not find or return main class version
[20:18] <nemo> Galvatron: basically what the bug complains about. GIMP is multi-window, and is terribly unintuitive to use in Unity when unity *isn't* losing track of gimp (unity --reset seems to have helped with that for now over here)
[20:18] <inkadnb> I'm having trouble with crontabs
[20:19] <nemo> Galvatron: the bug was closed because it says that: "Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 there will be an option to have integrated menus in the titlebar (for instance see http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/ubuntu-12-04-to-ditch-global-menu/)."
[20:19] <inkadnb> In my crontab I only have two entries both with @reboot
[20:19] <nemo> Galvatron: that would indeed fix that issue by basically restoring the per-image menu that GIMP normally has in non-Unity
[20:19] <nemo> Galvatron: I'd like to know how to enable that, if it exists at all
[20:19] <inkadnb> I'm trying to get my buildbot master and slaves to start on startup under my "buildbot" user.
[20:19] <Darkenvy> god ide rather be messing with Xorg.conf than be installing java 0_0
[20:19] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: did you follow the last link I sent you?
[20:19] <Darkenvy> yes I did
[20:20] <Darkenvy> want a pastbin?
[20:20] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: did you try to install it manually before trying the HOWTO?
[20:20] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: yes
[20:20] <Darkenvy> I probably tried 5 or 6 different guides before now
[20:20] <Darkenvy> I uninstalled openjdk however
[20:21] <xangua> nemo: it didn't get to precice pangolin
[20:21] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: run sudo updatedb in a console
[20:21] <nemo> xangua: :-/ ohhhh well. there's always gnome3
[20:21] <Darkenvy> isnt that just updating sources.list with apt-get?
[20:21] <Darkenvy> done
[20:21] <nemo> xangua: I really was trying hard to get used to Unity, despite its many flaws, but that one is definitely a dealbreaker.  thanks.
[20:22] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: then dpkg -l |grep java and pastbin it
[20:22] <inkadnb> Anyone have experience with crontabs?
[20:22] <xangua> !anyone | inkadnb
[20:23] <kRush> how do I get gnome-terminal to remember its size and position?
[20:23] <Penguincsc> inkadnb: what do you need?
[20:23] <tavl> what is the most straightforward mode to have both 32bits and 64bits libc installed on ubuntu? couldn't find the real packages without falling in a hole of conflicts and dependencies.
[20:23] <concrete_> Galvatron, I would stick with the LTS releases of Ubuntu Linux for stability the other versions have a lot of bugs that need to be worked out
[20:23] <inkadnb> I added two @restart entries in my crontab file but they're not working. I'm trying to get my buildbot master and slaves to start under the 'buildbot' account on startup
[20:24] <Darkenvy> http://pastebin.com/KL82dV5d
[20:24] <Penguincsc> concrete_: 11.04 was good and stable
[20:24] <Senvu> Hey I just installed ubuntu on my server, but somewhere and the end there was a question what kind of additional software I want to install (e.g openssl server or apache) I accidentily hit the wrong button, is there anyway to find out afterwoards which software was installed?
[20:24] <Galvatron> nemo: Try GIMP 2.8 from PPA with a single-window mode
[20:24] <inkadnb> not really sure what I'm doing wrong
[20:24] <goddard> ubuntu is logging me into Unity 2D even though I clicked the other Unity on login
[20:25] <concrete_> Darkenvy, Are you still trying to install Java on your system ?
[20:25] <Darkenvy> yes
[20:25] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: then dpkg -l |grep java and pastbin it
[20:25] <inkadnb> Penguincsc: Did you see my message?
[20:25] <Darkenvy> http://pastebin.com/KL82dV5d
[20:25] <Darkenvy> I litterally already did that guys
[20:25] <Darkenvy> look above
[20:25] <Galvatron> concrete_: 12.04 Compiz is not even enywhere close to be stable, since the whole 0.9.x is a DEVELOPMENT line. Even the official Compiz support channel recommends swiching to the stable 0.8.x if possible.;)
[20:26] <concrete_> Follow this  guide I told you not to rely on anyone's script click this link http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Oracle-Java-on-Ubuntu-Linux
[20:26] <Darkenvy> concrete_ is that for me?
[20:26] <fhtagn> testing lubuntu on a live usb
[20:26] <Darkenvy> I did not use a script to install java yet
[20:26] <fhtagn> wifi appears to be working. Anything obvious I should check=
[20:26] <fhtagn> obviously my keyboard needs to be changed...
[20:26] <concrete_> Darkenvy, yes
[20:27] <concrete_> Darkenvy, It will explain everything in detail about the installation of Java on your system
[20:27] <Darkenvy> the problem is I get an error when using "java version"
[20:27] <Darkenvy> "Error: Could not find or load main class version"
[20:27] <alankila> Darkenvy: java -version eh?
[20:27] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: just undo all you did manually and follow the guide
[20:28] <Penguincsc> inkadnb: no
[20:28] <Darkenvy> java -version returns version :)
[20:28] <Penguincsc> inkadnb: I don't understand what are you trying to do
[20:28] <Darkenvy> but the GUIDE did NOT have the -verson. it said "java version"
[20:28] <concrete_> Darkenvy, java -version
[20:28] <alankila> Darkenvy: so it was wrong. Move on.
[20:29] <Darkenvy> okay Im just stating that so you know it wasnt my fault :P
[20:29] <kurtwp_> Darkenvy: did you type java -version
[20:29] <charlton_> thanks xangua, unity must have been half-broken, so I disabled ir and did a logout-login, re-enabled it and all is well
[20:29] <Darkenvy> yes it works
[20:29] <Darkenvy> let me see if I can use java
[20:29] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: I am looking at it and it does have the -version
[20:29] <Galvatron> Speaking of testing, I've recently discovered e4rta - a replacement for Ureadahead, which gives a real boot-time boost: http://www.howtogeek.com/69753/how-to-cut-your-linux-pcs-boot-time-in-half-with-e4rat/ The only problem is that you must re-run the procedure from time to time, especially after major updates.
[20:29] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[20:29] <concrete_> Penguincsc, He is definitely a newbie to Java
[20:29] <chadi> Can I move the close minimize maximize to the right? Please?
[20:29] <TheVoid> how do i flush dns cache in ubuntu 10.04 lucid?
[20:30] <Darkenvy> are you looking at the same guide?
[20:30] <Penguincsc> concrete_: that is why we are here. I bet he might help us with somethin else
[20:30] <fhtagn> chadi: you can. or could. Ubuntu Tweak, i believe that is the name of the tool.
[20:30] <inkadnb> Penguincsc: nevermind I figured it out. Enviroment variables aren't passed to crontab :|
[20:30]  * TheVoid waits
[20:30] <Penguincsc> inkadnb: glad I could help ;-)
[20:30] <Darkenvy> okay it works
[20:30] <Darkenvy> thanks gys!
[20:31] <Darkenvy> Im out
[20:31] <chadi> fhtagn: that moves them only in unmaximized mode. In maximized mode, they're still on the left :/
[20:31] <Galvatron> Penguincsc: All's fine, except for this Oracle/Sun Java installer being ALPHA
[20:31] <Penguincsc> Darkenvy: cool. enjoy
[20:31] <fhtagn> oh, then i dunno, soz.
[20:31] <Darkenvy> ^^
[20:31] <Penguincsc> Galvatron:  works fine for me
[20:31] <TheVoid> gosh i'm about to break something
[20:32] <erik32533> ubuntu 12 10 install question
[20:32] <Penguincsc> Galvatron:  all it does, is download the official java from sun. like the one for nonfree flash installer
[20:32] <concrete_> You have to expect Ubuntu Linux is filled with bugs that haven't been worked out so don't stress out when things don't work out
[20:32] <CoJaBo> Penguincsc: Dunno, it hasn't finished yet :/
[20:32] <TheVoid> ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[20:32] <the_cops> use debian stable
[20:32] <the_cops> no bugs
[20:33] <Galvatron> Penguincsc: Does it remove Open JDK?
[20:33] <erik32533> seems like ubuntu 12 10 wants to freez up
[20:33] <Penguincsc> CoJaBo: the dd command?
[20:33] <TheVoid> how many damn idle people does this have to have...
[20:33] <erik32533> i can run live cd of ubuntu
[20:33] <CoJaBo> Yeh, the thing is soo slow :/
[20:33] <Penguincsc> Galvatron: I think it does, when it checks for dependencies
[20:33] <khmerog> im trying to install virtual box but there is 4 diffferent ones..they end in DBG, DKMS, FUSE, QT..which one do i install for kubuntu?
[20:33] <CoJaBo> LOL, I just noticed this RAM sitting here has a label on it.. "Compatible with Windows 7"
[20:33] <TheVoid> can anyone help me
[20:33] <TheVoid> :|
[20:34] <concrete_> Even Java is filled with bugs and security issues that's why they keep releasing updates to Java
[20:34] <Penguincsc> CoJaBo: might be a USB 1.1 port
[20:34] <CoJaBo> Gah.
[20:34] <xangua> khmerog: sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[20:34] <erik32533> its gets to preparing to install ubuntu it sits there
[20:34] <erik32533> how long do i wait
[20:34] <Penguincsc> what's the proble TheVoid
[20:34] <sintrinsic> Mornin' guys. Anyone have an idea why empathy would allow me to set up accounts and connect with them in the account manager, but give me an error about connecting to the Telepathy Account Manager when I try to open the contact list?
[20:34] <MediaWork> hm
[20:34] <fl1bbl3> they fixed the packaged version of virtualbox?
[20:35] <schultza> which is faster? vbox or kvm?
[20:35] <MediaWork> I want to point out something, suggest something
[20:35] <Galvatron> Penguincsc: How does Oracle compare to Open JDK?
[20:35] <erik32533> be the second ubuntu 12 cd i burned
[20:35] <carl-eric> Hi - in previous ubuntu/gnome versions I could adjust the encoding pipes sound-juicer uses to encode ripped CDs. in 12.04 neither rhythmbox nor sound-juicer allow me any kind of customization anymore. How do I adjust these gstreamer settings now?
[20:35] <TheVoid> Penguincsc, I can't get my DNS cache or w/e it is to clear
[20:35] <xtof_> schultza: kvm -- slightly
[20:35] <TheVoid> on 10.04 lucid lynx
[20:35] <MediaWork> sometime, especially with specular materials, cycle produces fireflies... which seem to be a different kind of noise to the regular noise reduction you get from increasing your samples.
[20:36] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: I don't understand. decribe what are you trying to do
[20:36] <erik32533> hmmmm
[20:36] <erik32533> can someone help
[20:36] <MediaWork> those fireflies dont reduce in noise the same way as the rest of the image.
[20:36] <TheVoid> Penguincsc,
[20:36] <TheVoid> I've updated my DNS servers, yet it's not changing in my system
[20:37] <TheVoid> It's different with other machines with a clean DNS cache
[20:37] <MediaWork> doubling the sampling I have noticed does not fix that ,  but if you render twice with different seeds, and seems also by moving your camera by a small amount.
[20:37] <Penguincsc> Galvatron: I guess it supports more sites, but I bearly use java, just for browsing
[20:37] <TheVoid> It's correct with others.
[20:37] <concrete_> Galvatron, OpenJDK is way behind on updates and security issues and bug fixes, that is why it is best to install Oracle Java
[20:37] <kurtwp_> TheVoid: did you restart or reload your bind
[20:37] <MediaWork> you can get rid of the fireflise much faster.
[20:37] <TheVoid> kurtwp_, heh.
[20:37] <TheVoid> how do i do that
[20:38] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: where did you update you DNS servers?
[20:38] <Galvatron> concrete_: Thanks I guess I'll go for it then.:)
[20:38] <TheVoid> Penguincsc, i changed it from freedns to cloudflare
[20:38] <TheVoid> lol
[20:38] <Cerrdor> I have phpmyadmin installed but when I go to myip/phpmyadmin its not found any ideas?
[20:38] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: is this a server?
[20:38] <TheVoid> no
[20:38] <TheVoid> this is my computer
[20:38] <TheVoid> with a desktop version of ubuntu 10.04 lucid lync
[20:38] <xangua> TheVoid: what he mean to say was, how did you change them¿
[20:38] <kurtwp_> TheVoid: restart your networking
[20:38] <zanberdo> Cerrdor, running apache?
[20:39] <Cerrdor> apache2
[20:39] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: did you add it to a file or used the network manager?
[20:39] <krysten2013> i am installing ubuntu using wubi. how large should my installation size be if I plan on using ROS (robot operating system) and gazebo (robotic simulator)
[20:39] <nemo> Galvatron: I've tried it. not a fan at all
[20:39] <RGErrDay> Hello
[20:39] <TheVoid> restarted lol
[20:40] <nemo> Galvatron: I have no desire to learn a new way of using the app just because people are duplicating the limitations of less powerful window managers
[20:40] <TheVoid> it kept connection because i guess it replied/made a ping to the server in time i guess
[20:40] <xangua> krysten2013: how long do you want it¿ wubi can't get more than 30GB i believe
[20:40] <RGErrDay> Wubi isnt that good imo
[20:40] <TheVoid> still not changed
[20:41] <krysten2013> xanguia: well i currently have 148 GB of free space, I don't want to take up too much space from my C drive
[20:41] <Galvatron> I don't recommend this thing at all - a good way to get some strange issues.
[20:41] <zylv> sd
[20:41] <concrete_> Galvatron, Do you know how to program in Android ?
[20:41] <xangua> !ot | concrete_
[20:41] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: I need to know where did you edit inthe new DNS
[20:42] <TheVoid> Penguincsc, it's updated fine, you don't really need to know where it's edited. But it's edited from dot.tk
[20:42] <TheVoid> my server shows
[20:42] <zanberdo> Cerrdor, check /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default to see if there is a virtual directory configured.  You may also check /var/www to see if there is a symlink to your phpmyadmin home folder.
[20:42] <TheVoid> root@internet:~# host viod.tk
[20:42] <TheVoid> viod.tk has address <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:42] <TheVoid> viod.tk has address <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:42] <TheVoid> my pc shows nothing
[20:43] <TheVoid> and for www. it's same for server but on pc
[20:43] <TheVoid> it's not changed
[20:43] <TheVoid> www.viod.tk has address 94.249.215.nope
[20:43] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: what version of Ubuntu?
[20:43] <TheVoid> Penguincsc, 10.04 lucid lynx...
[20:43] <goddard> ubuntu is logging me into Unity 2D even though I clicked the other Unity on login
[20:44] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: what's in the /etc/resolv.conf file?
[20:44] <Cerrdor> zanberdo, I dont see a symlink how do I create one?
[20:44] <TheVoid> # Generated by NetworkManager
[20:44] <TheVoid> domain home
[20:44] <TheVoid> search home
[20:44] <TheVoid> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:44] <FloodBot1> TheVoid: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:44] <TheVoid> Penguincsc, ^
[20:44] <TheVoid> ugh it was only 4 lines
[20:45] <TheVoid> >.>
[20:45] <CyberSix> lulz
[20:45] <TheWHAT> well that's a nice bot
[20:45] <CyberSix> good bot
[20:45] <zanberdo> Cerrdor, I can't guarantee this is the correct approach! However, if you know the path to phpmyadmin home folder you can create a symlink in /var/www using: sudo ln -s /path/to/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin
[20:45] <h00k> !botsnack
[20:46] <zanberdo> Cerrdor, however, as I said, there is no guarantee this will work!
[20:46] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: seems your DNS are managed by your gateway (router)
[20:46] <TheVoid> Penguincsc, my other local machines are resolving it correctly
[20:46] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: do you know hoe to change the settings?
[20:46] <zanberdo> it presumes that apache is configured to follow symlinks, that the permissions to the path are compatible with the access requirements, that there is an index.htm[l] file in your path... there are a lot of things that have to align to be sure this works.
[20:46] <TheVoid> i wonder how it even changed to the router...
[20:47] <TheVoid> it should be set to google's dns..
[20:47] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: so go into the Nework Manager and check it's right
[20:47] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: is the other machine also Linux?
[20:48] <chadi> How do I create a new instance of an app in unity without having to right click > new and without having to type the name of the app?
[20:48] <TheVoid> Penguincsc, yeah, it works fine both on windows and linux
[20:48] <chadi> is there a way to do something like shift + click?
[20:48] <TheVoid> but not on this netbook
[20:48] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: what do you get when you edit the eth0 in the network manager?
[20:49] <TheVoid> Penguincsc, nah i'm on wifi
[20:49] <trism> chadi: middle click
[20:49] <TheVoid> yay
[20:49] <Galvatron> Penguincsc: Oracle installer doesn't automatically purge Open JDK - I had to do so manually.
[20:49] <TheVoid> i set it back to google's dns and it's working now
[20:49] <TheVoid> lol
[20:49] <TheVoid> like all my other machines
[20:49] <TheVoid> i guess i found the problem
[20:49] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: what was it then?
[20:49] <chadi> trism: I don't have a middle click. I'm on a touch screen with a keyboard
[20:50] <Penguincsc> Galvatron: I said "I think" I don't remember... ;-)
[20:50] <TheVoid> Penguincsc, my router was caching dns queries lol
[20:50] <trism> chadi: only combo I am aware of, sorry
[20:50] <Penguincsc> TheVoid: so you restarted the router?
[20:51] <TheVoid> Penguincsc, no i changed my netbooks dns servers back to google... somehow it switched back to my routers
[20:51] <TheVoid> fixed now anyway

[20:57] <ha1dfo> hi, i'm trying to compile a package for myself, and I wonder if you know how to ask debuild to do cross-compilation for me. -- actually no cross-build is needed since the content is just scripts files

[21:06] <ompaul> what is the correct way to add a shell script to the unity "dash home" bar
[21:08] <ompaul> what is the correct way to add a shell script to the unity launcher might be a better way to describe it
[21:08] <donvito2> how to install apache?
[21:08] <the_cops> give it an extension

[21:09] <the-erm> Does anyone know how to mount a usb drive via the command line?  I've tried "mount" as a user, and searched for hours on fusermount.  xfce will mount drives no problem by clicking the drive on the desktop.  I'm writing a script that should be able to mount the drive without user interaction and without root.
[21:09] <ompaul> the-cops was that directed to me, if so please be aware the script lives in /usr/local/bin/ and is called bman.sh
[21:10] <Shinobi> Does anyone know what I would search under to implement multiuser crud functions in a perl script? Sorry it's off topic.
[21:10] <zanberdo> the-erm, if I'm not mistaken this is handled by udev and a scrip in /etc/udev/rules.d/ but that's about the extent of what I can help with..
[21:11] <the-erm> thanks zanberdo I'll look there.
[21:11] <cloudy> Hi - when doing sudo apt-get update I get a number of 404 or hashsum mismatch
[21:11] <zanberdo> the-erm, if you make any progress, let me know. This is an issue I run into from time to time and I'd love a definitive answer myself! :)
[21:11] <Orukusaki> Idle
[21:12] <zanberdo> cloudy, check your /etc/apt/sources.list and any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d to be sure they are valid url's and valid repos
[21:13] <nekro> hola gente soy nuevo en xchat quisiera arrancar con esto para mantenerme un poco mas comunicado
[21:13] <cloudy> zanberdo, thank you for the information. How do I know what is valid and what is not?
[21:14] <zanberdo> cloudy, hrm, good question. I guess the first thing you can do is navigate to the url and verify that it exists. if you are getting 404 you are likely pointing to outdated repos. what version of ubuntu?
[21:14] <cloudy> zanberdo, sources.list.d is empty
[21:14] <the-erm> zanberdo: the only thing I see in /etc/udev/rules.d/ is what you want your dvd to be labeled, and eth*, wlan* device naming.
[21:14] <cloudy> 12.04, but for arm cpu though
[21:15] <zanberdo> cloudy, having sources.list.d empty is fine. you will need to look at sources.list then. As to the url's for arm, I don't know.
[21:15] <zanberdo> the-erm, yeah, ok, you may need to do some research on udev. sorry I can't offer more guidance
[21:17] <cloudy> zanberdo, ok, if not 404 but hashsum mismatch, what would you suggest?
[21:17] <zanberdo> cloudy, that would make me think that there is something wrong with the repo I have installed, but given that you are running arm there may be another solutions.
[21:20] <cloudy> zanberdo, thank you for your time
[21:20] <zanberdo> cloudy, sorry couldn't be more help. I haven't run into an issue with checksum and repos :(
[21:22] <cloudy> zanberdo, I had it lately also on my desktop install. What I did there was to switch to the main servers, ran update, no issues, then switched back to regional servers, ran update, no issues
[21:23] <zanberdo> cloudy, I've done that myself and haven't run into any issues...
[21:23] <cloudy> zanberdo, I am wondering what is wrong with servers starting with de.archive
[21:24] <charnel> anybody knows where the libpg-dev is ? I cannot install it and it is not in the sources  ?
[21:25] <cloudy> charnel, checking with synaptic didn't bring it up
[21:26] <charnel> cloudy, yep tried it from the console
[21:26] <arooni-mobile> whats the best/easiest way to search for a partial file name in a given directory?  for instance i want to return any file names that might contain the string i'm searching for
[21:26] <charnel> arooni-mobile, grep
[21:26] <escott> arooni-mobile, find . -iname "*pattern*"
[21:27] <trism> charnel: do you mean libpq-dev?
[21:27] <charnel> yes
[21:27] <skylar> arooni-mobile `find . -name *match*` yeah
[21:28] <charnel> trism, It does not exists
[21:29] <charnel> but I need to install it
[21:29] <trism> !info libpq-dev | charnel
[21:29] <trism> charnel: it is in main, if that is what you meant, (PQ not PG (lowercase of course))
[21:29] <ubuntu_> where i can download dvd image with software packages of precise ?
[21:30] <ubuntu_> i mean frm where ?
[21:30] <charnel> trism, thanks
[21:31] <Sidnicious> Hey, I tried following these instructions (linked from the download page) to make a Mac-bootable USB stick: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[21:32] <reisio> Sidnicious: trying is admirable
[21:32] <Sidnicious> It didn't work, the stick doesn't show up as an option to boot from. Threads like http://askubuntu.com/questions/28495/how-do-i-get-my-mac-to-boot-from-an-ubuntu-usb-key suggest that the instructions don't work… what's up here?
[21:33] <myhero> frm where i can download precise dvd image with software packages ?
[21:35] <reisio> myhero: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors
[21:36] <martinphone> is there a ppa for mkvmerge?
[21:36] <muelli> martinphone: there is search for the PPAs :-)
[21:37] <the-erm> zanberdo: gvfs-mount -d /dev/sdd1 ... it's so simple even puts it in /media/ for you... man that took entirely too long to figure out.
[21:38] <haxxpop> what is the diffent between BIOS and GRUB?
[21:38] <h00k> haxxpop: BIOS is part of your motherboard, GRUB is the bootloader installed on your harddrive
[21:38] <roflmaoYd> haxxpop: if you use grub you can change to bios by using 'sudo rm -rf /'
[21:38] <h00k> !danger
[21:38] <cloudy> haxxpop, BIOS mean basic input output system and is the first piece of software that gets loaded when you power up your pc
[21:38] <muelli> well h00k. One runs off the flash in your motherboard and the other runs off the harddisk. They both do, obviously, totally different things.
[21:39] <Galvatron> Sidnicious: Have you set USB as the first boot device?
[21:39] <h00k> muelli: yes, I'm aware
[21:39] <reisio> furthermore, it won't change the BIOS :p
[21:39] <Sidnicious> Galvatron: Macs don't have that
[21:39] <h00k> :)
[21:39] <muelli> oh, sorry h00k -.-
[21:39] <cog> Hello.  I don't know how to get a DVD to play.  I run 12.04 Edubuntu.
[21:39] <muelli> I meant haxxpop...
[21:39] <Galvatron> Sidnicious: UEFI lacks the option to set a boot priority?
[21:40] <Galvatron> I don't believe it
[21:40] <Galvatron> Check carefully
[21:40] <h00k> Galvatron: good call, it's not true :)
[21:40] <heer> hello
[21:41] <Sidnicious> Galvatron: In Apple's implementation, you can hold down a key when you boot to list all the bootable volumes devices that the system can find, that's it. From the OS, you can set a default volume to boot from (not device, volume).
[21:41] <Sidnicious> s/volumes devices/volumes/
[21:41] <reisio> heer: goodbye
[21:41] <haxxpop> what is the difference between uefi and bios ?
[21:41] <escott> !dvd | cog make sure you follow these instructions
[21:41] <reisio> haxxpop: former is fancier, but other than that not much
[21:42] <Sidnicious> h00k: care to elaborate?
[21:43] <reisio> haxxpop: part of why Galvatron doesn't think it's missing this feature, no doubt
[21:43] <haxxpop> reisio: both're used for the same purpose, right ?
[21:43] <escott> haxxpop, one is the minimal amount needed to boot ibm hardware, the other is substantially larger than the linux kernel
[21:43] <ironhalik> how can I disable auto-away in Empathy?
[21:43] <reisio> haxxpop: pretty much
[21:44] <mouth1> hi
[21:44] <reisio> ironhalik: might ask #gnome
[21:44] <reisio> mouth1: hi
[21:44] <mouth1> does anybody have the samsung nc10 plus jp06 netbook?
[21:44] <reisio> mouth1: yes I'm sure some one has
[21:44] <h00k> Sidnicious: on which?
[21:45] <mouth1> i wanted to ask how good does ubuntu 12.04 run on it
[21:45] <mouth1> :)
[21:45] <reisio> mouth1: nc10+jp06?
[21:45] <haxxpop> what do you think about secure boot feature?
[21:45] <mouth1> reisio: ??
[21:46] <h00k> haxxpop: your questions might be better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic, since they're not necessarily Ubuntu support specific
[21:46] <haxxpop> h00k: okay.
[21:46] <h00k> mouth1: check out the Ubuntu Friendly database, let me grab a link
[21:46] <reisio> haxxpop: fairly irrelevant to most things
[21:46] <OerHeks> mouth1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NC10 looks great OOTB
[21:46] <h00k> mouth1: https://friendly.ubuntu.com/ may help
[21:47] <Sidnicious> h00k: Whether there was a way to set boot order besides choosing which volume to boot from
[21:48] <Galvatron> cog: You'll actually have to purchase a commercial player, unless you're OK with piracy. Medibuntu includes an illegal stuff, including pirated Windows codecs and proprietary commercial DVD-plying components, which by no means are a freeware (you usually pay for them once you purchase any DVD player).
[21:48] <h00k> Sidnicious: well, my motherboard has UEFI, and I have a nifty click/drag interface where I can order boot devices. It depends on what motherboard/UEFI you have.
[21:48] <donvito2> how it is possible i installed phpmyadmin but in web i cant connect to it?
[21:49] <reisio> donvito2: maybe you have to configure it
[21:49] <donvito2> i did
[21:49] <Sidnicious> I guess my base question is if there's a right way to make a bootable Ubuntu USB stick for Mac besides the instructions on the site, since I have found zero reports of anyone using those instructions successfully
[21:49] <donvito2> i reconfigure it
[21:49] <h00k> Sidnicious: I'm not sure how the Macs do it :( Sorry
[21:49] <reisio> Sidnicious: you mean to keep Mac OS?
[21:49] <reisio> for a multi-boot?
[21:49] <iLogical> I have a hercules classic webcam, it works fine in cheese, for instance. It doesn't with skype, even though i did use this command LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so said to have worked in ubuntu karmic. What do I do?
[21:50] <OneFix_Work> Anyone here using SpaceWalk with Ubuntu?
[21:50] <Sidnicious> h00k: yeah, Apple's implementation is a little different, there's no configuration interface at all. To make a bootable Mac OS USB, you just dump the files in an appropriately-formatted partition and it shows up as an option to boot from.
[21:50] <Galvatron> Sidnicious: have you already tried UNetbootin for Mac? in not, then go: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[21:51] <cog> I installed the codecs at the Edubuntu installation, but Totem usually pops up and plays it. (It doesn't now.)
[21:51] <Sidnicious> Galvatron: "Note that resulting USB drives are bootable only on PCs (not on Macs)." :/
[21:51] <cog> Thank you Galvatron :)
[21:51] <iLogical> the only camera avaiable is /dev/video0
[21:51] <iLogical> in skype
[21:51] <reisio> Sidnicious: sorry was that a yes to my question?
[21:51] <escott> cog, did you manually run the script in /usr/share?
[21:51] <cog> Not to my memory.
[21:51] <h00k> !mac | Sidnicious have you seen these?
[21:51] <donvito2> when i type localhost/phpmyadmin i get this Not Found
[21:52] <escott> !dvd | cog then reread and follow the instructions
[21:52] <Sidnicious> reisio: Well, at the moment I just wanted to use it as a live USB
[21:52] <reisio> Sidnicious: ah
[21:52] <Sidnicious> reisio: How does that change things?
[21:52] <reisio> Sidnicious: now I know what you want :D
[21:52] <Sidnicious> :)
[21:53] <reisio> aetaric: :D
[21:54] <mouth1> is the intel gma 3150 supported? 3d effects too
[21:54] <Sidnicious> h00k: Let me read through sysctl hw.model
[21:54] <Sidnicious> er
[21:54] <Sidnicious> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-2/Oneiric
[21:54] <reisio> mouth1: intel is usually well supported
[21:54] <cog> Why doesn't Totem normally play the DVD then?
[21:55] <cog> Thanks escott :)
[21:55] <aetaric> reisio: yes?
[21:55] <reisio> aetaric: know how to image Ubuntu to boot from an Apple?
[21:55] <xangua> cog: legal issues
[21:55] <aetaric> netboot?
[21:56] <Galvatron> Sidnicious: To tell the truth, I don't see any sense in installing Linux on Mac, while Mac OS is clearly a superior OS, taking a lot of good stuff from both Penguin and Windows, but it's just my opinion. ;)
[21:56] <aetaric> i haven't figured out how to trick the mac's to boot from a network server like you can a pxe client
[21:56] <reisio> aetaric: to boot from a USB from an Apple, sorry
[21:56] <aetaric> oh usb
[21:56] <aetaric> that is cake
[21:57] <reisio> aetaric: Sidnicious is having some trouble
[21:57] <aetaric> hold option and turn it on
[21:57] <reisio> aetaric: now about this cake...
[21:57] <Sidnicious> aetaric: that's how you boot from a network server too
[21:57] <Sidnicious> Or, hold down the N key
[21:58] <aetaric> yes
[21:58] <aetaric> option gives you a list of drives to boot from
[21:58] <aetaric> whereas N just starts the apple netboot nightmare
[21:58] <zykotick9> Sidnicious: fyi, some Macs won't boot gnu/linux from USB
[21:59] <Sidnicious> aetaric: Heh. How would I prepare the USB drive? dd doesn't give me anything that it sees as bootable
[21:59] <Sidnicious> zykotick9: Hurm.
[21:59] <aetaric> erm. use disk utility to make it. convert the iso to a dmg and image the drive from that
[22:00] <aetaric> i've done it before. i just remember it to be a MAJOR pain
[22:00] <Sidnicious> zykotick9: Huh. awesome considering that a few new models that don't ship with optical drives...
[22:00] <aetaric> and i have to do it to install ubuntu as my disc drive is broken
[22:00] <FilipeMaia> Hi. I'm trying to install ubuntu using a DVD on a new desktop. The boot menu shows up, I choose to install but then all I get are some noisy horizontal lines on the screen. What should I do?
[22:00] <Sidnicious> aetaric: you image it with disk utility?
[22:00] <zykotick9> Sidnicious: next time, buy better hardware
[22:00] <escott> !alternate | FilipeMaia, sounds like it might be !nomodeset try !alternate
[22:01] <Sidnicious> zykotick9: I have no desire to have an optical drive.
[22:01] <aetaric> you should be able to
[22:01] <FilipeMaia> escott: I'm not sure I have any blank CDs left. Can I use that with a USB stick?
[22:01] <designbybeck> When you have 2 USB's plug in, how to you tell which one is which via /dev/sdb1 and/dev/sbc ?
[22:02] <designbybeck> sdc
[22:02] <jaqque> hi. upgraded to 12.04. my wallpaper has gone missing. it was from 11.10 or 11.04 or 11.something. i want it back. where can i get it from?
[22:02] <Sidnicious> aetaric: I'll give it a shot, thanks
[22:02] <escott> FilipeMaia, sure
[22:03] <FilipeMaia> escott: how do I burn the image in a USB stick?
[22:03] <reisio> jaqque: was it the defualt wallpaper from 11.10/04?
[22:03] <jaqque> reisio: no, the pretty flower
[22:03] <jaqque> orange
[22:03] <Galvatron> FilipeMaia: Bot is just half-right. You can access the advanced boot options by pressing any key on a purple screen with two symbold on the botton, choosing any language,  then pressing F6. There you can choose "noapic", "acpi=off" and "nomodeset" - all worth trying.
[22:03] <Dr_Willis> FilipeMaia:  i use tools from the pendrivelinus web site
[22:03] <escott> FilipeMaia, if you have an ubuntu install you can use the usb-creator-gtk too
[22:03] <reisio> jaqque: which pretty flower?
[22:03] <FilipeMaia> escott: I only have access to macOSX at the moment
[22:04] <FilipeMaia> Galvatron: I'll give it a try
[22:04] <jaqque> reisio: trying to find it on google right now
[22:04] <reisio> jaqque: do you have an old (even cluttered) screenshot of it?
[22:04] <jaqque> reisio: but it was the one that had the tight focus on one flower and the rest blurred
[22:04] <hikerbiker> on a powerbook g4 tried loading lubuntu powerpc  12.04 but it hangs on a missing wireless driver     is there an update ISO with a fix for this ?
[22:04] <jaqque> reisio: if i did, i would have linked it already :)
[22:04] <Galvatron> FilipeMaia: You don't necessarily need the Alternate, especially that installig from it takes several times longer than a regualr one (I don't know why, but it's my experience at least).
[22:05] <donvito2> how to make /var/www/ to be readaable please
[22:05] <reisio> jaqque: you think you know yourself better than I know yourself?! :p

[22:05] <jaqque> that one
[22:05] <reisio> jaqque: the one as in some official Ubuntu wallpaper?
[22:05] <FilipeMaia> Galvatron: I managed to type e on the grub boot menu and can now change boot options
[22:05] <cryptotheslow> designbybeck, replug one of the usb drives then "tail /var/log/syslog" to see where it mounted - should work
[22:05] <jaqque> it is one of the official, but not the default
[22:05] <reisio> jaqque: :)
[22:05] <dr3mro> hello ; is it possible to make root applications use unity global menu !!!
[22:06] <FilipeMaia> Galvatron: your suggestion is to add acpi=off and nomodeset to the linux line?
[22:06] <designbybeck> oh goodness.. not an easier way ;)? I just moved over the file i neeed to the harddrive anyway, so i can take one out and burn to the other! but thanks cryptotheslow
[22:06] <escott> !ubuntu-wallpapers-precise | jaqque
[22:06] <reisio> jaqque: go to images.google.com, click the little blue camera icon, paste in that URI http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fUbZQcEL7Tw/TonPzpM6BAI/AAAAAAAAZhQ/meT7GuZ8wl4/s400/Ubuntu+11.10+Oneiric+Ocelot+Wallpapers+%25281%2529.jpg you'll get a big copy

[22:06] <escott> !info ubuntu-wallpapers-precise | jaqque presumably replace "precise" with your desired release
[22:06] <Dr_Willis> apps running as root - do use the global menu here i belive
[22:06] <cryptotheslow> designbybeck, or just touch a small file onto either oen and see which light flashes :D
[22:06] <cryptotheslow> one*
[22:07] <FilipeMaia> Galvatron: I already see some improvements! I got the the purple screen
[22:07] <jaqque> escott: thank you.i'll let you know if that worked
[22:07] <designbybeck> that would be cool cryptotheslow but i don't think they have lights
[22:07] <designbybeck> or at least i haven't seen it under ubuntu light up
[22:08] <escott> jaqque, just download and install this .deb http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/ubuntu-wallpapers
[22:08] <FilipeMaia> I wonder with nomodeset and acpi=off are not the default
[22:08] <jaqque> escott: that was it
[22:08] <jaqque> thank you
[22:08] <FilipeMaia> s/with/why
[22:08] <jaqque> escott: apt-get got it for me
[22:09] <hikerbiker> any ubuntu unsiders here that kno whow to get a 12.04 lubuntu to install ?   hangs on a  missing wireless card driver
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> hikerbiker: perhaps disable/turn off the wireless card - so it dosent try to load drivers for it
[22:10] <reisio> hikerbiker: should be able to install it without networking
[22:10] <reisio> or don't check that 'download updates' option
[22:10] <cryptotheslow> designbybeck, hmmph. Out of suggestions then, I just use syslog
[22:10] <designbybeck> Thanks cryptotheslow
[22:10] <Dr_Willis> i thought i heard of some bug yesterday tht causes system hangs with some wifi driver.. but i dident   get the details
[22:11] <jaqque> okay - that was all i needed! thanks!

[22:12] <sm_> hello everybody
[22:12] <Galvatron> !question | sm_
[22:13] <hikerbiker> i dont need wireless network connection  have ethernet hooked up
[22:13] <hikerbiker> it says its missing a b43 driver    thenn just hangs
[22:14] <sm_> i have a serious problem with my browser , I'm using ubuntu10.4 and my firefox is 4.0.1 ,i upgrade my package now when i want to open the pages that contain flash movie nearly all of them has intrupted , what can i do for  that ?
[22:14] <hikerbiker> i'm trying to load 11.10 now to see if i can get something to happen
[22:14] <LordOfTime> hikerbiker:  you may need to download that driver suing the hardware drivers tool
[22:15] <sm_> is this problem related to my recent upgrad and what if it is true what can i do for that?
[22:15] <cryptotheslow> designbybeck, thinking about it - if you labelled the partitions on the usbs you could use blkid to see where they are mounted
[22:15] <hikerbiker> how can i download it when i'm installing from a CD
[22:15] <sm_> is there anyone using ubuntu?
[22:15] <mykrobinson> quick question. How do I remote connect to another ubuntu 12.04 user who has desktop sharing enabled? He has set desktop sharing to use UPnP and has it enabled. I am trying Remina, but feel I am missing something
[22:15] <reisio> hikerbiker: wasn't my suggestion, doubt you need to
[22:15] <designbybeck> hmm i think they both had 2 diffeneet partiions so i could have tried that
[22:16] <reisio> mykrobinson: should only have to plug in the number (& optional pass) he gives you
[22:16] <mykrobinson> reisio: and use VNC as the protocol?
[22:17] <sm_> please help me i have a serious problem with my browsers after i upgraded my packages
[22:17] <reisio> mykrobinson: that'd be my guess, yes
[22:17] <reisio> sm_: okay help granted

[22:17] <mykrobinson> got it. Thank you
[22:18] <goddard> for some reason when i login it always loads me into ubuntu 2d
[22:18] <goddard> how can i fix it?
[22:18] <escott> iLogical, what version of ubuntu?
[22:18] <iLogical> 12.04
[22:18] <iLogical> LTS
[22:18] <escott> iLogical, /usr/lib32 path is wrong
[22:18] <iLogical> could you say the commands ? :)
[22:18] <reisio> iLogical: you actually tried it without ld_preload first, right?
[22:19] <escott> iLogical, on mine it is /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so, but you should always verify that the file exists when you get an error like that
i'm really sorry you're right
[22:19] <iLogical> reisio,  tried with it
do you want to help me?
[22:20] <cryptotheslow> sm_, use Synaptic to purge and reinstall flashplugin
[22:20] <reisio> sm_: I am indifferent to helping you, but will if I can
[22:21] <iLogical> IT worked thanks escott
you are definitely deserved , i mean you want to give more information about my browsers' problem?
[22:21] <mykrobinson> reisio: any magic tric to triggering the user's dash while in remote session?
[22:23] <OerHeks> sm_, there are more volunteers, just state your problem
[22:24] <sm_> when i check my synaptic flashplugin-installer is check , is it needed to install another package for showing flash movie in the browser ?
[22:24] <Brustofski-Fan> under network.. wireless what is use as hotspot?
[22:25] <OerHeks> sm_, that package should be enough for flash
[22:25] <sm_> and the other problem after upgrading my packages via sudo apt-get upgrade now when i open a page in my browser it is really slow what can i do for that , is it related to my recent upgrade?
[22:26] <Needer_of_Help> drupal/ubuntu noob, I had drupal install working, then installed/uninstalled/reinstalled vmware-workstation and now my drupal is broken - "PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of /var/www/drupal/includes/lock.inc)."
[22:27] <schultza> why drupal
[22:27] <sm_> what can i reinstall or repair my brower?
[22:27] <FilipeMaia> Galvatron: I've managed to install but now it rebooted and I have the exact same problem, but this time I didn't see any grub menu
[22:27] <genericon> What's the difference between the available kernels?
[22:28] <genericon> I'm installing onto RAID using Ubuntu alternate on a USB stick, and linux-generic-pae failed or something, so I started "install base system" again
[22:28] <genericon> and now I have the option of generic, generic-pae, image-extra, image-generic, image-virtual, and so on
[22:28] <sm_> how can i reinstall my firefox on ubuntu10.4?
[22:28] <cryptotheslow> sm_, reinstall the flashplugin via synaptic. Just right-click on it there and take the "complete removal" option - process that then install it again. Close you browser before starting that
[22:29] <japro> anyone experience using CUDA on 12.04?
[22:29] <escott> !pae | genericon
[22:29] <Brustofski-Fan> genericon, think the pea is for an x86 32 bit with more then 4 gig of ram
my browser is really slow what can i do for this problem?
[22:29] <FilipeMaia> I've just installed ubuntu using nomodeset but now after rebooting I don't see a grub menu and I only get a screen with garbage. What can I do?
[22:30] <cryptotheslow> sm_, are you sure it is the browser and not just your internet connection?
[22:30] <Brustofski-Fan> under network wireless what is the use as hotspot ?
[22:31] <goddard> for some reason when i login it always loads me into ubuntu 2d
[22:31] <goddard> how can i fix it?
[22:31] <japro> Brustofski-Fan, nah, you already need it to use all of your 4gb
[22:31] <AndyZee> hello everybody, does anybody know of a settings file for gnome3 login screen?
yeah i m pinging <IP_ADDRESS> and the result is as usual or even better , is it possible that ping statement return fake result?
[22:32] <cryptotheslow> FilipeMaia, hold down the shift key as it starts to boot - you should then get the grub menu screen where you can add your nomodeset in
[22:32] <Brustofski-Fan> not me.. i have AMD quad core 64 bit with 6gig ram
[22:32] <schultza> how do i check to see if this machine has 32 bit or 64 bit installed?
[22:32] <cryptotheslow> sm_, unlikely you'd get a fake ping result. Maybe try another browser to test. e.g. chromium
[22:32] <japro> Brustofski-Fan, but with a 64bit version
[22:33] <wawowe> schultza: uname -i
[22:33] <AndyZee> schultza, uname
[22:33] <AndyZee> oh
[22:33] <schultza> ah
[22:33] <japro> you need pae to use all 4gb on a 32bit install
[22:33] <reisio> schultza: what does it matter which is installed?
[22:33] <FilipeMaia> cryptotheslow: any particular shift? I tried the left one with no luck
[22:33] <AndyZee>  does anybody know of a settings file for gnome3 login screen?
[22:33] <Brustofski-Fan> japro, yep.. i was trying to answer a ? someone eles was asking about the pea kernel
[22:33] <genericon> right, I fugred the pae was about that
[22:33] <schultza> reisio: virtualization
[22:34] <schultza> has better support in 64 bit
[22:34] <reisio> perhaps, trivially better
[22:34] <reisio> the guest is already installed?
[22:34] <schultza> yes
[22:34] <genericon> that was the first thing that came up on google - but what's the difference between virtual and image?
[22:34] <cryptotheslow> FilipeMaia, I thought left shift would do it :/ Maybe that changed
[22:34] <reisio> schultza: so what, you would reinstall if it were a 32-bit guest? :)
[22:34] <FilipeMaia> cryptotheslow: right one also doesn't seem to work
i tested it by chromium but the suitation is the same
[22:34] <schultza> maybe in a few months
[22:34] <reisio> :D
[22:35] <schultza> too bad this computer isn't vt-d... id try out xen right now
[22:35] <reisio> yeah, I'd be watching netflix right now
[22:35] <schultza> yep
[22:35] <schultza> thats one of two reasons why i havent fully switched to linux as the base os
[22:35] <reisio> but I'd also be richer or broker than I am :p
[22:35] <schultza> or the dom0 as xen would refer to i
[22:36] <reisio> netflix not actually that important to me
[22:36] <reisio> but if I had vt-d, and netflix, I'd definitely use it :p
[22:36] <schultza> gaming and netflix are
[22:36] <reisio> I play the game of life
[22:36] <schultza> sometimes i need the distraction
[22:36] <reisio> yeah :)
[22:36] <cryptotheslow> FilipeMaia, you need to be quite quick getting that shift held down. If you can do it while the bios checks are still going through you should catch it.
[22:37] <FilipeMaia> cryptotheslow: of my shift was down for a long time don't worry, my BIOS takes a while
[22:38] <schultza> why is it saying ubuntu-unregged , when i am regged
[22:38] <rahduke> besides disabling auto DHCP how can I make sure that my wired main PC's IP doesn't change and my dedicated wireless clients stay the same as well? I just got a new router and my main IP addy seems to reset every time i reboot
[22:38] <cryptotheslow> FilipeMaia, hmm. Try tapping Esc instead
[22:38] <FilipeMaia> cryptotheslow: Esc durig the purple screen?
[22:38] <cryptotheslow> before
[22:38] <CoJaBo> Is it possible to clone the installer to a hard disk, boot it, and install from there (to the same disk)?
[22:39] <FilipeMaia> cryptotheslow: that's gonna be tricky
[22:39] <cryptotheslow> FilipeMaia, once the purple screen is up grub is done and gone
[22:39] <reisio> CoJaBo: yup
[22:39] <FilipeMaia> cryptotheslow: esc worked!
[22:39] <cryptotheslow> \o/
[22:39] <reisio> FilipeMaia: clearly you aren't using Firefox :p
[22:39] <CoJaBo> reisio: Hm; how would I do that?
[22:39] <reisio> CoJaBo: why would you want to
[22:40] <CoJaBo> reisio: Because it may be the only feasible way to install on a machine that does not have a working CD drive and BIOS cannot boot from USB.
[22:40] <reisio> CoJaBo: is there an OS on it already?
[22:40] <FilipeMaia> cryptotheslow: can I get non graphical terminals in Ubuntu? I tried Ctrl Alt F2 but I didn't see anything
[22:41] <CoJaBo> reisio: Yeh, older kubuntu, Jaunty
[22:41] <reisio> CoJaBo: you could just upgrade that
[22:41] <CoJaBo> I can't simply upgrade, as the package manager is thoroghly screwed.
[22:41] <reisio> CoJaBo: you could unscrew it, but :)
[22:41] <reisio> CoJaBo: yes you can also tell the boot loader to boot an install image
[22:41] <CoJaBo> If i could unscrew it, I actually wouldn't need to upgrade lol..
[22:41] <genericon> besides PAE, what's the difference between the kernels?  "image" "virtual" "extra" and "generic"?
[22:41] <cryptotheslow> FilipeMaia, now time to look up how to make that nomodeset thing permanent. I think you need to edit /etc/default/grub to suit then run update-grub. But check that out I'm going off memory
[22:42] <reisio> heh
[22:42] <CoJaBo> reisio: How? Grub works, but there seems no way to get it to boot cd.
[22:42] <FilipeMaia> cryptotheslow: ok thanks
[22:42] <reisio> CoJaBo: is it GRUB2?
[22:42] <CoJaBo> No, grub1
[22:42] <reisio> CoJaBo: mmm
[22:42] <reisio> CoJaBo: IIRC it's simpler from GRUB2
[22:42] <reisio> CoJaBo: you might want to try installing GRUB2 the hard way
[22:42] <Zackington> is there any backtrack support on here?
[22:43] <CoJaBo> I have an external CD drive, but the BIOS doesn't even try to boot from it
[22:43] <genii-around> !backtrack
[22:43] <reisio> CoJaBo: min I can never find that GRUB1 image boot link
[22:43] <cryptotheslow> FilipeMaia, Ctrl Alt F1 to F6 should give you a tty once booted. If not working, boot to recovery mode from the grub menu and drop to root shell to make your edits
[22:43] <xangua> Zackington: /join #backtrack-linux
[22:43] <reisio> CoJaBo: some BIOSes require you to actually remove the hard disk as a potential boot source before they will, despite the order being applied properly
[22:44] <FilipeMaia> cryptotheslow: ok thanks for the help. I'm out of batery so have to log off.  Its a dell :/
[22:44] <reisio> CoJaBo: old one, I guess
[22:45] <Jordan_U> CoJaBo: There is still the option of the minimal install as I started to explain.
[22:45] <CoJaBo> Not even that old; came with Vista originally
[22:45] <Guest24663> Hey everyone, just a quick question about mantel, am I in the right place?
[22:45] <reisio> I know I have it bookmarked, but it must have an awful title
[22:45] <Jordan_U> CoJaBo: What happened when you tried to boot from the USB drive after dd'ing the iso to it though?
[22:45] <CoJaBo> Jordan_U: Nothing, it just ignored it.
[22:46] <Jordan_U> CoJaBo: Did the USB drive boot successfully on another machine?
[22:46] <Galvatron> genii-around: To tell the truth, I see no problem with supporting Mint here, since "Mint" itself: is just an addon set for Ubuntu and makes a very minor changes (you can easily add and remove it from an existing installation - I already did so once).
[22:47] <Galvatron> Backtrack or Trisquel is a completely different story though.
[22:47] <Jordan_U> !mint | Galvatron
[22:47] <schultza> not everyone in ubuntu needs to know the tweaks mint has put in...
[22:48] <schultza> !ot
[22:48] <Guest24663> On ubuntu wiki about mantel, there's documentation for macbookpro4.1 and Ubuntu9. I want to install 12.04. Am I right in thinking I can just follow the same wiki for 9 but with 12? Never done mantel stuff before, but have a few pure ubuntu boxes around
[22:48] <Galvatron> These are just some few programs and graphical motives - nothing important
[22:48] <CoJaBo> ..Actually, I have another old laptop, I muight just be able to replace the CD drive afterall....
[22:48] <CoJaBo> Forgot i even had this one
[22:48] <Galvatron> I can add or remove "Mint" anytime, with absolutely no problem
[22:50] <reisio> CoJaBo: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/MEMDISK#ISO_images
[22:51] <reisio> CoJaBo: you could also pop the drive out and install from another computer and then pop it back in
[22:51] <Jordan_U> reisio: Memdisk will only work with the minimal iso, and in that case it's easier and more sane to simply load the netboot kernel and initrd directly.
[22:51] <reisio> CoJaBo: just have to make sure critical drivers are included: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ (textarea)
[22:52] <reisio> Jordan_U: why's that
[22:52] <genericon> ok so I figured out that my problem with installing ubuntu alternative is that it can't find the kernel on the archives
[22:52] <rahduke> besides disabling auto DHCP how can I make sure that my wired main PC's IP doesn't change and my dedicated wireless clients stay the same as well? I just got a new router and my main IP addy seems to reset every time i reboot
[22:53] <genericon> it suggests doing apt-get update or fix-missing... how do I do that?
[22:53] <genii-around> rahduke: Most routers have the ability to always assign the same IP to the same MAC address
[22:53] <ActionParsnip> rahduke: the wired connections you can define in /etc/network/interfaces if you want, and you can then uninstall network manager
[22:54] <Cerrdor> when I tried to update my domain to my IP it says Invalid ZTLD?
[22:54] <mcphail> rahduke: set static IPs for all of your devices or configure your router to hand out defined addresses to each client
[22:54] <CoJaBo> reisio: Its 64-bit, I don't have another 64-bit computer.  I did find another CD drive (internal), fingers crossed it even stillworks O_O
[22:54] <cryptotheslow> rahduke, have a look if your router supports fixed IP allocations via dhcp. most do
[22:54] <Cerrdor> TLD
[22:54] <Jordan_U> reisio: Because memdisk only fools bootloaders and DOS. Once an OS with real drivers (like Linux's) starts it will look for a CD in the physical drive and fail to find it. You can tell the kernel / initrd scripts to find the iso file on a hard drive, but that requires passing special kernel parameters (which memdisk by its nature can't do).
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> rahduke: you can define the addressing in network manager instead, if you prefer a GUI
[22:54] <reisio> Jordan_U: but why would it be easier to netboot?
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> rahduke: set the static IPs at the top end of your network range so that DHCP addresses don't clash
[22:55] <reisio> CoJaBo: heheh
[22:55] <heer> hi
[22:55] <CoJaBo> reisio: OMG it does
[22:55] <CoJaBo> OMG
[22:55] <reisio> amazin(fruit)
[22:55] <reisio> heer: wb
[22:55] <everson> portugues?
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> !pt
[22:55] <rahduke> crytpotheslow: thats what i was looking to do
[22:55] <CoJaBo> Its been sitting up there for almost 10 years -_-'
[22:55] <everson> algm?
[22:56] <Jordan_U> reisio: I didn't say it would be easier to netboot, I said it would be easier to load the netboot kernel and initrd directly (the "minimal" iso is an iso containing the netboot kernel and initrd). I understand how that wasn't at all clear though :)
[22:56] <reisio> CoJaBo: nice
[22:56] <rahduke> ActionParsnip: ill have a look
[22:56] <reisio> Jordan_U: oh still with memdisk?
[22:56] <everson> algum brazuca on?
[22:56] <Jordan_U> reisio: No, directly via grub.
[22:56] <everson> hehehehe
[22:56] <cryptotheslow> rahduke, what router is it? although it's probably OT for #ubuntu :(
[22:56] <everson> portuguess
[22:56] <rahduke> Linksys e1200
[22:56] <rahduke> whats OT?
[22:56] <cryptotheslow> off topic
[22:56] <xangua> !pt | everson
[22:57] <reisio> mmm
[22:57] <rahduke> ActionParsnip: are you telling me to goto network manager change from Auto DHCP to manualand set the address from there w/ dns servers and all?
[22:57] <everson> sala brazuca
[22:57] <everson> algm on
[22:57] <reisio> aeoueouaeuo
[22:58] <everson> lol
[22:58] <ActionParsnip> rahduke: yes you will need to set IP and DNS
[22:59] <cryptotheslow> rahduke, page 29 and 30 of the manual available here: http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/linksys/E1200  covers dhcp ip reservations on that box
[22:59] <rahduke> ActionParsnip: so basically just copy the info from my current connection information and set the IP to what i want it to be?
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> rahduke: should be fine, yes. You can get the DNS servers with:  cat /etc/resolv.conf
[23:00] <rahduke> ActionParsnip: netmask and subnetmask are the same thing right?
[23:00] <CoJaBo> ...aaand, the installer (kubuntu) just freezes.
[23:00] <genericon> I'm confused as to how it can be unable to resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com in the installer but ping on a different console works just fine
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> rahduke: yes, same difference
[23:01] <dejan_spasic> hi folks
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> CoJaBo: did you upgrade the installer before running it?
[23:01] <ActionParsnip> CoJaBo: assuming you have web access
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> genericon: try:  echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null      then retry
[23:02] <ActionParsnip> genericon: actually, remove the '-a' from that :)
[23:03] <genericon> how do you override the archive hostname to replace it with an IP?  that might fix the problem?
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> genericon: thats what the command I gave actually does :)
[23:03] <dejan_spasic> if i mount a network storage over smb with nautius where can i find the location of the mounted storage?
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> genericon: well, its a different DNS to try
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> genericon: you could add an entry in /etc/hosts for the name to IP conversion if you want
[23:03] <ActionParsnip> dejan_spasic: ~/.gvfs
[23:04] <Blue1> dejan_spasic: depends on the mount point you specifiy in the mount
[23:05] <dejan_spasic> ActionParsnip: okay. thats all ;) thank you!
[23:07] <xangua> (18:02:33) ActionParsnip: genericon: try:  echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null      then retry - works on precice¿
[23:07] <CoJaBo> ActionParsnip: It was trying to compute how much space it could save by resizing the partition I intended to erase -_-'   I just did a `killall ntfsresize` in terminal and it came back to life lol
[23:08] <ActionParsnip> CoJaBo: ha, awesmoe
[23:09] <reisio> narrator: but then CoJaBo began to question what other things after being killed completely would start behaving better! (DUN DUN DUN!)
[23:10] <CoJaBo> Heh. Nothin beats a good ol killall -9 :P
[23:11] <blackshirt> CojaBo: i don't think so
[23:11] <wolfric> how can i set fstab to not require a drive to be present in order to boot. i tried nofail option but that didn't work, i still get an option saying "press to skip mounting or press m for manual recovery'. I still want the option there to mount it if it's available though
[23:12] <wolfric> nvm, should have googled the error, going to try nobootwait
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> wolfric: add 'noauto' as an option
[23:13] <wolfric> noauto won't even mount it if it is there though right?
[23:14] <ActionParsnip> wolfric: yes, but you can add an entry in /etc/rc.local to make it attempt to mount :)
[23:14] <wolfric> nobootwait was actually what i wanted but cheers
[23:15] <roaje> hey, do you guys know how i can disable the crash report tool?
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> wolfric: sweet (mental note)
[23:17] <genii-around> roaje: Uninstall apport
[23:18] <roaje> genii-around: excellent thank you much
[23:18] <roaje> have a great day
[23:19] <harushimo> i'm using virtual box. Is it possible to have a desktop shortcut on ubuntu?
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: desktop shortcut to what?
[23:20] <harushimo> for my virtual machine
[23:20] <harushimo> I think I just figured it out
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: what, to launch it, or to access the files??
[23:20] <harushimo> both
[23:20] <harushimo> I want to be launch and access it without using sudo
[23:20] <[yates]> i have an nfs mount over ethernet, transfer rates start at 30-40mbps but then drop to 12mps after a while, the same with usb actually, is there anyway to debug this?
[23:20] <reisio> course
[23:20] <harushimo> in order for me run virtual box. I need to do sudo
[23:20] <reisio> harushimo: think you can still just right-click and add a launcher
[23:20] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: ln -s /usr/share/applications/virtualbox.desktop ~/Desktop/VirtualBox.desktop
[23:20] <reisio> harushimo: otherwise you can add a .desktop file to Desktop/
[23:21] <harushimo> I did that
[23:21] <reisio> yeah like that, only a shell script using sudo instead
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: use TAB to autocomplete the file names
[23:21] <reisio> if that's really what you want
[23:21] <reisio> harushimo: did you not add your user to the vboxusers group?
[23:21] <harushimo> I didn't know it had that
[23:21] <harushimo> I just started using vbox like 4 days ago
[23:21] <reisio> better check 'groups userhere'
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: to access the files, the only way I can think is to set the network in the virtualbox to 'bridged' then install samba or similar and it will appear as a system on your LAN
[23:22] <harushimo> I'm still not use to the program
[23:22] <harushimo> ok
[23:22] <reisio> what files?
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: then you can just access it like the other systems you may be sharing on :)
[23:22] <harushimo> oh cool
[23:22] <harushimo> I didn't know this at all
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: or install openssh-server and you will get an SFTP server
[23:24] <harushimo> ok I will do that
[23:24] <myhero> whats the diff between 1.6gb live dvd iso and 600+mb desktop iso when it ccan also be used live ???

[23:28] <ActionParsnip> ipproblem: try:  echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> myhero: you can install each desktop on the same ubuntu, you will just choose the desktop at login
[23:29] <ipproblem> oh ok
[23:29] <ipproblem> ActionParsnip: I'll give that a shot
[23:30] <CoJaBo> Needer_of_Help: Reinstalling VMware will change your network adaptors- probably some network config is looking for the wrong name somewhere.
[23:30] <myhero> ActionParsnip: so that will be full setup iso installed on top of same ubuntu or it will be just DE ?
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> myhero: just the DE and the apps for the DE
[23:31] <heexx> Why is it so fu**ing hard to install OB?
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> myhero: at log in you will use the cog menu next to your name in lightdm and select the desktop to use
[23:31] <Needer_of_Help> CojaBo say a few more words, noob here
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> myhero: you could download the live CD ISOs and have grub2 boot them if you want, bit more effort
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> heexx: what is OB?
[23:31] <myhero> ActionParsnip: how to do it ?
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> myhero: not something I've done but I know grub2 can boot stored ISO files.
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> heexx: ob == openbox?
[23:32] <Jordan_U> myhero: Download the isos and then follow http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F
[23:32] <myhero> ohh means i'll hve to just store boot iso on hdd n it will boot frm it ?'
[23:33] <Jordan_U> myhero: Yup.
[23:33] <myhero> ok
[23:33] <myhero> but now the same question.....how do i get all other versions on top of ubuntu ?
[23:34] <CoJaBo> Needer_of_Help: I'm guessing its probably an issue with the mysql server- is it running? Sometimes they wont even start if the network config changes
[23:34] <Cerrdor> trying to move a wordpress directory and I keep getting this error:: root@cerrdor:/var/www# cp /var/www/wordpress/wp-admin/ /var/www
[23:34] <Cerrdor> cp: omitting directory `/var/www/wordpress/wp-admin/'
[23:34] <myhero> i'll just hve to get DE and apps but how to get them n store them for afterwards live session ?
[23:34] <heexx> ActionParsnip: Yes.
[23:34] <CoJaBo> Cerrdor: cp -R
[23:35] <Cerrdor> ohh
[23:35] <yeats> myhero: just do 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' (and so on for the others)
[23:35] <Cerrdor> before the Directory named?
[23:35] <CoJaBo> Cerrdor: Yeh, by default itll skip dirs- -R is the recursive option
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> heexx: sudo apt-get install openbox
[23:35] <yeats> myhero: just note that all programs will be available in each DE
[23:35] <donvito2> !webmin
[23:35] <heexx> ActionParsnip: Then why do I find pages and pages of long GUIDES(!) to install it?
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> !ebox | donvito2
[23:35] <myhero> but that will download n install but how i store it locally so as to use them afterwards also ?
[23:36] <donvito2> thanks ActionParsnip
[23:36] <this_is_a_un> myhero, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/02/how-to-boot-iso-with-grub2-easy-way.html
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> heexx: because they aren't specifically for Ubuntu, the repos have openbox on them. Did you not think to search software centre first / use apt-cache ?

[23:37] <heexx> ActionParsnip: So it's easy for Ubuntu, but not for other distros?
[23:37] <Needer_of_Help> oops
[23:37] <Cerrdor> CoJaBo, thnx so much
[23:38] <gkatsev> anyone used ndiswrapper? Trying to install wifi driver and it installs fine but `modprobe ndiswrapper' gives me a `FATAL module ndiswrapper not found.'
[23:39] <heexx> ActionParsnip: Hello?!?!?!?!
[23:41] <OerHeks> heexx, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox
[23:41] <ipproblem> ActionParsnip: I tried the command you listed but tee isn't on my Busybox ash shell...
[23:42] <bitonic> ppas don't seem to work tonight. is it only me?
[23:42] <heexx> OerHeks: Jesus Christ!
[23:42] <heexx> OerHeks: **** that. :/
[23:42] <OerHeks> heexx, for other distro's: why should we care?
[23:43] <reisio> heexx: you just install it and run openbox-session after stopping GDM
[23:44] <heexx> reisio: And that would look like shit if not configured for days?
[23:44] <Hilikus> i have a friend trying to install ubuntu. he left an unformatted partition in his harddrive. is there any way in the installer to tell ubuntu to take that region and do everything it needs with it? i don't want to tell him to manually create /, /boot and swap
[23:45] <OerHeks> hilikus sure, if that partition is >4.4Gb
[23:45] <Jordan_U> Hilikus: I think that's one of the default options, it certainly used to be years ago.
[23:45] <Hilikus> it is
[23:45] <Taksas027> was it harmless to run sudo apt-get autoremove?
[23:46] <Hilikus> he says that the only option thats automatic tries to shrink his windows partition even more to give the space to ubuntu instead of taking the already empty one
[23:46] <OerHeks> Taksas027, it "is" harmless.
[23:46] <reisio> heexx: it'd look the same as it ever looks
[23:48] <trism> gkatsev: ndiswrapper is not included with the kernel in 12.04, install ndiswrapper-dkms
[23:48] <dr3mro> ubuntu has came a long way towards maturity in 12.04 but still needs alot !!
[23:48] <reisio> a_lot
[23:48] <reisio> what doesn't
[23:48] <gkatsev> trism: ah. thanks.
[23:48] <danny> hello how do i google search strait from the unity hud
[23:51] <Browser> Hello everyone
[23:51] <eR^zeRa`> i believe the proper greeting around here is hello world
[23:52] <wlightning> can anyone recommend a gui (non web based) document manager/virtual filing cabinet software.. preferably something I could easily scan all my bills into and tag them for later access
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> reisio: i was thinking that
[23:52] <wlightning> ?
[23:52] <dr3mro> hello , I have patched some packages and want to make them into the official repositories .. they are in my PPA !! what to do ?
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: so does mac, so does windows...
[23:53] <xclusive585> I really would like to know how you can request a package be built and added to the Ubuntu repository. Especially one that has a proven PPA already
[23:53] <Browser> I have added Guake to application that Ubuntu execute to startup , but Ubuntu doesn't open it. Why?
[23:54] <gkatsev> trism: should I be following this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper) or is there a better guide?
[23:54] <dr3mro> ActionParsnip, No but ubuntu has become a longer way .. it's now more mature to me than windows and onlycompetes with mac
[23:56] <dr3mro> ActionParsnip, ubuntu only needs to have a more professional applications like video editors ( pro ) not amature apps like now and a more options for customization in the ubuntu settings center and make ubuntuy tweak and my unity useless
[23:56] <Kasplodey> Browser, how did you add it?
[23:57] <werder> Browser: Guake is a drop-down terminal, right?
[23:57] <Browser> Yes.
[23:58] <werder> Browser: well it won't show up when you start, you have to press F12 to drop it down
[23:58] <Browser> Kasplodey:  from the menu of Ubuntu. I added the order: guake.
[23:58] <Browser> Yes, but guake is not open.
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: there are more interfaces than unity :)
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> Browser: press F12
[23:59] <werder> Browser: you mean the process hasn't started, right?
[23:59] <Browser> Yes yes. doesn't work
[23:59] <Browser> werder: yes
[23:59] <werder> Browser: ok, so Guake works when you start it manually?
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> Browser: if you run:  ps -ef | grep guake     is it running ?
[23:59] <Browser> ActionParsnip:  i have to run guake , if not doesn't work f12


[14:21] <ScottL> persia, your advice about downloading the source package when updated a bzr branch was astoundingly helpful for the ubuntustudio-menu updates :)
[14:22] <ScottL> apparently there had been several commits and pushes but not merged
[14:23] <ScottL> i had asked luke (because I expected that he would do the merge) but haven't gotten a response but my direction is to make the changes (which all seem sane) it the three other commits to the source package
[14:24] <ScottL> but I will keep the package version number the same as the last commit so that it looks sane from a user's perspective (0.12ubunut1 -> 0.13)
[14:24] <ScottL> i hope i'm doing the right thing and won't have to do it again ;)
[19:54] <rlameiro> persia: can you help me in here
[19:54] <rlameiro> I will try to install the BETA1 but on the iso.qa.ubuntu.com tracker, ubuntu studio says is not testing...
[19:54] <rlameiro> "We are not testing at the moment"
[20:03] <ScottL> rlameiro,   try here:   http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/lucid/beta-1/
[20:07] <rlameiro> ScottL: i have the iso
[20:07] <rlameiro> thas is no the problem
[20:07] <rlameiro> ScottL: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/build/ubuntustudio/all
[20:13] <ScottL> oh, i think reporting is just temporarily deferred because of the bug jam
[20:14] <ScottL> don't let that stop you from testing though ;)  because you can always file bugs
[20:17] <rlameiro> ScottL: i wasnt stopping :D
[20:17] <rlameiro> i just found that strange
[20:17] <rlameiro> why cant i make my globaljam at home???
[20:18] <rlameiro> this is kinda racist :D
[20:18] <rlameiro> lol
[21:44] <rlameiro> I just came a cros to a kinda of a bug
[21:44] <rlameiro> maybe not US related
[21:45] <rlameiro> is about the restricted drivers installer, concerning the broadcom wireles druiver
[21:45] <rlameiro> at firstboot it gave an error
[21:45] <rlameiro> i neede to reboot in order to jockey download and install the restricted drivers
[22:20] <rlameiro> !bug #550503
[22:52] <rlameiro> what can be changed during beta1?
[22:52] <rlameiro> its just bug fixes or can some things be changed
[22:53] <rlameiro> for example ubuntustudio controls deb still depends on libglade
[22:56] <TheMuso> rlameiro: I thought work was done to fix that. It may not have been uploaded.
[22:57] <rlameiro> TheMuso, I made it
[22:57] <rlameiro> and the new gui.xml is there
[22:58] <TheMuso> rlameiro: ah ok.
[22:58] <rlameiro> but the deb package still list glade as a dependency
[22:58] <rlameiro> is it only change the files on the deb folder of the branch?
[23:00] <TheMuso> rlameiro: I guess the fixes either haven't been uploaded yet, or the deps weren't fixed. I'll ahve a look tonight, got a busy day today so won't get a chance to look.
[23:01] <rlameiro> no i can do it and then do a merge, just wanted to know how
[23:06] <rlameiro> TheMuso, should i change the /debian/control file?
[23:06] <rlameiro> it is not pressing, i think libglade is still on lucid so it is not a big problem
[23:06] <TheMuso> rlameiro: right I'll still take a look nayway


[00:17] <fmarier> so it looks like systemd is going to fix everything that sucks in distros http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2014/debconf14/webm/A_glimpse_into_a_systemd_future.webm
[00:50] <G> fmarier: is that the 'systemd-will-do-everything-by-btrfs' thing?
[00:52] <fmarier> G: no it's more like "systemd-is-adding-new-daemons-and-tools-to-fix-all-the-problems-we-run-into"
[00:53] <G> fmarier: oh right, I'll have to watch that then
[00:53] <fmarier> for e.g. something to automatically create system users as needed, which will replace the dirty hacks that we have to put in maintainer scripts at the moment
[00:53] <fmarier> i'm looking forward to that particular one
[00:53] <G> The latest one is http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linux-systems.html
[00:57] <fmarier> hm, i might indeed need to grab a large cup of tea before reading that one
[00:58] <G> Yeah, re-reading it, I can see the logic, but I'm currently cringing at the idea of such things as "what happens when you add NFS to the mix" etc
[00:59] <fmarier> surely systemd will rewrite NFS ;)
[01:09] <olly> If systemd does solve all our problems, it'll just replace them with a whole new set of problems
[01:09] <G> don't.. joke.. about it :P
[01:10] <olly> Like pulse audio did
[01:11] <olly> Except without solving anything afaics
[01:14] <G> yeah, Pulseaudio kinda-works for me, but ALSA/ESD worked better imo
[01:14] <G> tbh, I find the Windows audio subsystems more problem inducing than Pulse these days
[01:29] <olly> It does seem better behaved these days
[01:30] <olly> Ubuntu pushed it too soon which didn't help
[04:47] <G> olly: yeah, Fedora also pushed it way too early as well
[08:11] <mwhudson> lennart is a bit of a nutter, but bits of esd were written by rasterman and he's definitely worse :)
[08:22] <G> true, esd was certainly worse than ALSA

[00:09] <hosiet> Reposting after a day: I am looking for sponsor for a pkg in universe (e.g., MOTU people can help): fcitx5-chinese-addons/5.1.3-1ubuntu1, which fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fcitx5-chinese-addons/+bug/2061664 . Let me know if you have any concerns. Thanks!

[09:16] <bdrung> tjaalton, since you touched it last, do you want to apply the upstream fix for xorg-xserver for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/2062144 or should I do it?
[09:16] -ubottu:#ubuntu-devel- Launchpad bug 2062144 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) "xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.17-3 FTBFS on armhf" [Undecided, New]
[10:18] <tjaalton> bdrung: added a comment there
[10:47] <bdrung> tjaalton, thanks. so how to solve that?
[10:59] <tjaalton> drop armhf from it? :)
[11:00] <tjaalton> and from -video-all
[11:00] <tjaalton> (nouveau)
[11:05] <tjaalton> I'll test something
[11:05] <tjaalton> then again there is a new bugfix release of xorg-server too, to fix a potential double-free in the current one
[11:38] <tjaalton> bdrung: this was fixed in debian via -3
[11:38] <tjaalton> so maybe just sync that
[11:38] <tjaalton> nouveau
[11:39] <bdrung> tjaalton, no, this did not work, -3 is the failing one
[11:41] <tjaalton> why does it fail only on armhf?
[11:41] <bdrung> because it uses -Werror=implicit-function-declaration
[11:42] <tjaalton> and that can't be changed in the package?
[11:46] <tjaalton> looks like xserver .12-1u1 already has the double-free fix, so I wouldn't be touching that anymore

[14:40] <bdrung> i am looking into it
[14:42] <bdrung> xypron, why do you specify exact versions instead of using ">="?
[14:43] <xypron> bdrung: this was suggested in a review of a prior release.
[14:43] <xypron> bdrung: I am fine if this is changed to >= or the constraint is lifted completely.
[14:44] <bdrung> xypron, do you have a pointer to the previous discussion?
[14:44] <xypron> no
[14:46] <xypron> bdrung: The package is only used to generate live-installer images.

[19:53] <sudip> openmotor needs to be removed, it depends on python3-scikit-fmm which is not available.
[20:11] <ahasenack> if ceph has just dropped 32bits (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/19.2.0~git20240301.4c76c50-0ubuntu5/+build/28114799), should it even run dep8 tests on armhf?
[20:13] <ahasenack> I suppose a bug is missing, to remove its armhf packages?

[20:25] <ahasenack> but not in rmadison
[20:26] <doko> ahasenack: the lp page doesn't change status. I just checked. the tgt binary is removed
[20:27] <ahasenack> doko: but dep8 tests are still attempting to run for armhf, is that a bug over there?
[20:27] <ahasenack> or does tgt (for example) need a no-change-rebuild upload to set things straight again?
[20:29] <sergiodj> ahasenack: if you go to the actual binary page (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/armhf/tgt/1:1.0.85-1.1ubuntu6) you'll see that it's marked as deleted

[02:36] <james_> I am having an issue where after several students log in the server slows down and the other network card shuts down so no ssh access during this condition.  the only way I have been able to fix this is to power off / reset the server and everything is fine for a while..  opteron / 2gb ram edubuntu 8.04 / pxeboot
[02:36] <james_> has anyone seen anything like this before?  btw. it's edubuntu amd64
[02:48] <cilkay> james_: I don't understand the "pxe boot" and server part. Please explain.
[02:50] <cilkay> I've had strange things happening with LTSP, such as the first netboot is very fast, faster than a local hard disk boot actually, and each subsequent one gets slower to the point where by the third or fourth, it may never boot.
[02:50] <cilkay> The server certainly isn't underpowered with a P4 2.8GHz and 2GB of RAM.
[02:52] <cilkay> Today, when I changed a GDM theme and logged out to see the new theme, all I saw was a black screen. The keyboard wasn't responsive. I couldn't ssh into the machine to see what was going on. "No route to host." When I power cycled the machine, it was fine. There is something funny going on.
[03:33] <james_> That behavior is very similar to what I am seeing.  pxe boot is the same as netboot and the server is the main computer.
[03:54] <cilkay> james_: I thought you were pxe/netbooting the server, which didn't make sense.

[13:47] <carwash> In skolelinux/debian-edu there is an install option for workstations automatically authenticating against the debian-edu server and mounting home directories. Is there a similar option in edubuntu? If not, how would one achieve a similar goal in ubuntu?
[14:25] <wima> does anyone know how i can avoid the floppy icons to show up on the desktop?
[19:28] <LaserJock> ogra: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tuxtype/+bug/261991 doesn't need a FFe does it?
[21:08] <McLinux> Hi - Can anyone tell me why I ended up with edubuntu when I installed ubuntu?  I haven't noticed any difference but the name, but I'm a bit curious is all!
[21:10] <HedgeMage> McLinux:  Perhaps you used and Edubuntu CD by accident, or perhaps you installed the package "Edubuntu-desktop"
[21:11] <HedgeMage> McLinux:  the only differences between edubuntu and ubuntu are the art and packages included by default -- you can actually turn one into the other and back again with ease
[21:13] <McLinux> could it have been from one of the updates I downloaded?
[21:17] <HedgeMage> no, updates just bring your existing stuff up to current versions.
[21:18] <McLinux> hmm, how do you change desktop packages (I've had ubuntu a few months but I'm just starting  to play with it!)?
[21:21] <HedgeMage> McLinux:  just install ubuntu-desktop and remove any edubuntu stuff you don't want
[21:21] <McLinux> Thanks
[23:45] <LaserJock> sbalneav: around?
