[17:42] <Yerushalmi> UbuBasher: I don't EXPECT to be able to use my old usage history. I know enough about how this sort of thing works :)

[17:42] <matelot> Daekdroom: Only Classic ?
[17:42] <nitzs> nishttal2: i'm not sure about that? what did you do in the previous version?
[17:42] <ptl> no clue on why my DNS resolution simply stopped working?
[17:42] <Yerushalmi> UbuBasher: No, it's not. I even tried going into Privacy settings, shutting it off and turning it back on again, erasing all history...
[17:43] <nishttal2> nitzs nothing.. it just worked.. i installed and no problems
[17:43] <Yerushalmi> UbuBasher: But when I go and open a new file, it still doesn't remember I've done so.
[17:43] <UbuBasher> which program?
[17:43] <Daekdroom> matelot, Gnome Shell can't use compiz, KDE's compatibility with it is now little. What else?

[17:45] <blacksunseven> some recent wine update has caused text rendering in apps like utorrent to basically grind to a halt. opening a windows file browser and letting it render files in the directory takes like 30 seconds or more.
[17:45] <nitzs> ChrisWere: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/MD5SUMS
[17:45] <Yerushalmi> UbuBasher: It's just not recording my activity at all. I really like being able to use the Activities menu as a quick shortcut to recently used files, and it's quite irritating that I don't have that anymore. Yet within things like gedit, Document Viewer, etc., I can see the list of files I've recently opened. They just don't show up in Activities.

[17:50] <LinuxGuy2009> ChrisWere: Thats an invalid md5sum. http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/DVDs/ubuntu/12.04/release/MD5SUMS

[17:51] <LinuxGuy2009> The md5sum matches none of the versions of 12.04

[17:52] <flyingbuddha> Hi. I've just upgraded to 12.04 (from 10.04), but I'm having problems with my ethernet card not being recognised. This is on a VPS machine. Is there anyone that can guide me through getting it working as I don't have much knowledge with Ubuntu.
[17:52] <shadowspell> my wired cable also dont recognised

[17:53] <Amdpc> Hi..I want to share a directory using samba in from terminal…WHich commands to use ?
[17:53] <nitzs> ChrisWere: also check the md5sum of your burnt cd.
[17:54] <flyingbuddha> "Waiting for network configuration…"
[17:55] <LinuxGuy2009> ChrisWere: Maybe there is a problem with the iso on the website?

[18:00] <flyingbuddha> AlanBell: Oh no :( I've no idea how to enable my ethernet card, all the instructions on the net say to boot into the BIOS
[18:01] <flyingbuddha> AlanBell: What is ioemu / netfront? (Network Emulator)

[18:03] <ChrisWere> nitzs: i dont appear to be able to do that. I google how and it looks damn complicated
[18:03] <apan> hello, anyone here who knows apache2 quite well? :-)
[18:03] <DasEi> flyingbuddha: add two lines : auto eth0 and ..

[18:05] <ChrisWere> nitzs: it doesn't work
[18:05] <nitzs> flyingbuddha: do 'ifup eth0'
[18:05] <kel_> aberon do you want sun java or open java?
[18:05] <flyingbuddha> nitzs: RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address
[18:05] <sudipta> conky does not work in ubuntu 12.04...dmesg show some segfault...:::[   63.277937] conky[2013]: segfault at 0 ip b70feb84 sp bf8aedb8 error 4 in libc-2.15.so[b6fb9000+19f000]
[18:05] <aberon> kel_, which ever is more reliable to run Minecraft. Which do you suggest ?
[18:05] <bravery> why the ubuntu customization  kit doesn't work? It closes itself after the language option.When I first ran it, an error showed as "the application zenity closed unexpectedly".
[18:06] <apan> I dont know if this is the right forum, but i'll give it a try: (my issue): im using ubuntu server 11.10, and im running apache2, my problem is following: i can access my /var/www/ the DocumentRoot, but when im trying to go into a sub folder e.g: /var/www/serviio/ i get the following error: You don't have permission to access /serviioweb/ on this server.
[18:06] <nitzs> ChrisWere: maybe 'md5sum /dev/sr0'?
[18:06] <azend> Does anyone else have an issue with the unity launcher sticking closed when set to autohide?
[18:06] <kel_> id go with sun
[18:06] <aberon> kel_, alright. How to
[18:06] <kel_> give me about 5 minutes ill get the page you ned
[18:06] <kel_> need*
[18:06] <aberon> kk
[18:06] <flyingbuddha> DasEi, nitzs, AlanBell: Network was working on 10.04 if that makes any difference?
[18:07] <sudipta> conky does not work in ubuntu 12.04...dmesg show some segfault...:::[   63.277937] conky[2013]: segfault at 0 ip b70feb84 sp bf8aedb8 error 4 in libc-2.15.so[b6fb9000+19f000]
[18:07] <aberon> Wait, kel_ is there no terminal command to do it?
[18:07] <kel_> yes
[18:07] <kel_> what version of ubuntu you on
[18:07] <aberon> kel_, 11.1
[18:07] <ChrisWere> nitzs: nope
[18:07] <ChrisWere> nitzs: should the CD be mounted or unmounted?
[18:08] <sudipta> come on....anyone......?
[18:08] <AlanBell> flyingbuddha: I would suggest asking thrustVPS support, I think they are really good
[18:08] <DasEi> flyingbuddha: are you connecting via dhcp of your router ? what reveals sudo ifup eht0 ?
[18:08] <aberon> sorry sudipta I don't know :(
[18:08] <DasEi> ifconfig ?
[18:08] <flyingbuddha> AlanBell: Ok
[18:08] <jameslord> hi all
[18:08] <thephantom> How do I properly uninstall and then reinstall python on a 12.04 live USB
[18:08] <jameslord> how to install git svn on ubuntu?
[18:09] <AlanBell> flyingbuddha: they might be able to change the emulation mode of the network hardware (it isn't a real network card so they can maybe change what it pretends to be)
[18:09] <aberon> kel_, side question, do you know why the software centre thinks I have java isntalled ?
[18:09] <kel_> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin
[18:09] <bravery> I am on 12.04. why the ubuntu customization  kit doesn't work? It closes itself after the language option.When I first ran it, an error showed as "the application zenity closed unexpectedly".
[18:09] <flyingbuddha> DasEi: I'm connecting via VNC. ifup eth0 outputs:
[18:09] <flyingbuddha> RTNETLINK answers: Cannot assign requested address
[18:09] <kel_> i think you have open java installed
[18:09] <Steevca> I have noticed that some wierd stuff with ubuntu,the red lamp on my pc is alweyes on,it doesn't stop glowing.But there is no problem with memory or hardware.
[18:09] <AlanBell> flyingbuddha: anyhow, I think they would be interested in getting to the bottom of a problem with 12.04 on their setup
[18:09] <OerHeks> sudipta paste your conky script on pastebin.com please
[18:09] <aberon> kel_, java -version does not bring open up though
[18:09] <Pici> jameslord: install git-core or subversion
[18:10] <DasEi> thephantom: apt-get remove --purge, apt-get install
[18:10] <flyingbuddha> AlanBell: I can choose a different Network Card and a different Network Emulator in my control panel, would either of these be any use?
[18:10] <Steevca> Also,ubuntu is getting slower,but i have normal memory compsumtion and normal hardware configuration for ubuntu to run on.
[18:10] <AlanBell> flyingbuddha: yes, try them out
[18:10] <Steevca> Only thing i did are some changes with compiz,can that cause ubuntu to run slow?
[18:10] <kel_> not working?
[18:10] <aberon> E: Unable to locate package sun-java6-plugin
[18:10] <kel_> htmm one second
[18:10] <kel_> hrmm*
[18:10] <Pici> thephantom: I can't see any scenario where doing that would be a good idea.  Perhaps if you explained what you were trying to acheive, we could be of better help.
[18:10] <flyingbuddha> DasEi: Eventually ifup eth0 says: 'Failed to bring up eth0'
[18:10] <jameslord> Pici dude, ihave installed git, but still not recognize git svn:(
[18:11] <flyingbuddha> AlanBell: What is a 'Network Emulator'? Options are: ioemu and netfront
[18:11] <DasEi> flyingbuddha: and is it dhcp orr a static routing you use ?
[18:11] <aberon> kel_, the command didn't work. I only pasted a lil bit of it
[18:11] <flyingbuddha> DasEi: dhcp
[18:11] <kel_> do me a favor aberon
[18:11] <aberon> kk
[18:11] <bravery> anybody here know what is application Zenity?
[18:11] <kel_> in terminal type
[18:11] <kel_> java -version
[18:11] <AlanBell> flyingbuddha: no idea, but there are not that many combinations to try :)
[18:11] <thephantom> Apt-get remove --purge python also removes loads of dependencies include many gnome files. Is that alright?
[18:11] <DasEi> flyingbuddha: where does the offer comes from ?
[18:11] <kel_> post what comes up
[18:11] <theadmin> bravery: zenity is a GTK application to create various prompts -- mostly used from within scripts
[18:11] <aberon> kel_, I already told you what is outputed from that lol
[18:11] <Pici> jameslord: Looks like that functionality is provided via the git-svn package.
[18:12] <flyingbuddha> DasEi: offer? I don't understand dude.
[18:12] <kel_> na do it ones more
[18:12] <kel_> i didnt read it
[18:12] <ZeloZelos> bravery, did you google it?
[18:12] <DasEi> flyingbuddha: dhcpoffer, arp-request
[18:12] <ChrisWere> nitzs: the md5sum doesn't seem to work for the CDROM, but I've burnt it a few times and they've all had the same problem.
[18:12] <bravery> ZeloZelos, let me do it. thanx theadmin
[18:12] <aberon> kel_, PM
[18:12] <flyingbuddha> DasEi: Please forgive me, I'm very new to this, what you said doesn't make sense.
[18:12] <Pici> ChrisWere: perhaps you should check the md5sum of the iso that you downloaded.
[18:13] <ChrisWere> Pici: I have
[18:13] <DasEi> flyingbuddha: which device is the dhcp offered from ?
[18:13] <nitzs> ChrisWere: was the cdrom mounted?
[18:13] <ChrisWere> nitzs: yes
[18:13] <ZeloZelos> bravery, i wasnt tring to be mean, its just looks pretty complicated and lengthy to explain, a libraray or stuff
[18:13] <theadmin> thephantom: There's no reason whatsoever to uninstall Python. If you messed your Python setup up, you can just reinstall the files via "sudo apt-get --reinstall install python", but still I don't see any scenario where this may ever be useful.
[18:13] <ChrisWere> nitzs: but it still stops at the same place on the USB boot.
[18:14] <nitzs> ChrisWere: usb boot?
[18:14] <ChrisWere> nitzs: booting from a usb drive
[18:14] <flyingbuddha> DasEi: In /etc/network/interface dhcp is set on eth0 if that's what you mean?
[18:14] <nitzs> chris_0076: are you booting from a cdrom or a usb drive?
[18:14] <nitzs> ChrisWere: *
[18:14] <DasEi> flyingbuddha: is your router or whatever offerng the ip or is this part of the vpn ?
[18:15] <ChrisWere> nitzs: i've tried both
[18:15] <flyingbuddha> DasEi: Part of the VPN
[18:15] <DasEi> flyingbuddha: most likely an static address then
[18:15] <nitzs> ChrisWere: where exactly does it hangs?
[18:16] <essentia> Hello.
[18:16] <ChrisWere> nitzs: just before x
[18:16] <flyingbuddha> DasEi: The server is a VPS, so I guess ThrustVPS are providing the IP :)

[18:17] <nitzs> ChrisWere: have you tried the nomodeset option?
[18:18] <ChrisWere> nitzs: how do i do theat?

[18:24] <minimec> megabitdragon: That should work...
[18:24] <trek201> its been sitting at 95% for about 15 min
[18:24] <megabitdragon> minimec, I tried that without any success
[18:25] <kilrae> is it possible to hide particular mounted volumes from being listed in the launchbar?
[18:25] <DasEi> trek, give it another ten, else medium is prbly corrupted
[18:25] <trek201> it can't be corrupted...i blessed the disc burner with holy water and 10 hail mary's
[18:26] <DasEi> trek201: ... but forgot to md5 , he ?? ;)
[18:26] <trek201> heh...damn
[18:26] <acalbaza> anyone know how to adjust the size of the login screen?  it is way too big and i need to scroll to find the login window - 12.04.
[18:26] <mads-> Can't I write a ubuntu image to a DVD?
[18:26] <DasEi> !md5sum
[18:26] <tisqueldotim> Fyodorovna, Thanx for your input ... here's mine : http://open.spotify.com/track/0Xy9xPPs2zRRFqljGqKXel   PS I've transfered #chl's now.
[18:26] <Dr-Willis> Hmm.. doing a clean install of 12.10 and  the hostname seems to be 'this' ;) and the user is 'this'  ...  sort of strange
[18:26] <minimec> megabitdragon: I can hardly believe that... Is that partition menitoned in fstab, beiing the /home directory (should imho). That could be the problem.
[18:26] <Fyodorovna> trek201, maybe it needed a nondenominational blessing. :)
[18:26] <jameslord> Pici  no git-svn package found:(
[18:26] <jameslord> hell
[18:27] <minimec> megabitdragon: ... or part of /home ...
[18:27] <DasEi> mads-: a cd image to dvd often not, though can d//l dvd-image, I prefer usb-installs or network ones
[18:27] <megabitdragon> minimec, the partition is is mounted in fstab in /home
[18:27] <kajgz> can anyone help me with my thing? :(
[18:27] <shadowspell> Do i need to download anything to make ethernet working ?
[18:27] <mads-> DasEi, can you tell me how to network install?
[18:28] <Pici> jameslord: it should be available in all supported releases, in universe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/955705/
[18:28] <theadmin> shadowspell: Normally not
[18:28] <mads-> DasEi, My girlfriend have borrowed our USB drive out and I only have DVD discs other than that
[18:28] <DasEi> mads-: get the minimal installer, have a wired releiable network connections, follow instructions on screen
[18:28] <jost> how the package for dbmail in ubuntu 11.10 called?
[18:28] <DasEi> mads-: ah, same problem thn, that also needs either a cd or usb
[18:29] <mads-> DasEi, If I have ubuntu 11.10 on it can I then do any kind of install without any other medium?
[18:29] <mads-> I have another computer present if that would help in any way
[18:30] <DasEi> mads-: I don't understand .. you have ubu11.10 and wonto to dist-upgrade ? yes that works
[18:30] <minimec> megabitdragon: hmmm... Well... what now? Did you do that chown procedure while being logged in as the same user. Did you try to do the procedure in 'recovery mode' (grub option)? Maybe that helps.
[18:30] <ph0bar> I am having trouble with the HUD. It just won't show if i press Alt. Any suggestions ?
[18:30] <The_BROS> After pressing the button in the Compiz Manager to restore the Default profile my Unity flew off (No Dash, top hats, the system tray). It only Unity 2D works. Maybe some way to restore the Unity?
[18:30] <mads-> DasEi, I was more looking for a clean install. But I could try dist-upgrade until I get my USB back
[18:30] <grkblood> whats with the ubuntu launcher background changing with 12.04?
[18:31] <mads-> I had completely forgotten about dist-upgrade though. Thanks
[18:31] <grkblood> horrible decision on ubuntus part
[18:31] <kunguz> how do I force my xubuntu to use VESA driver?
[18:31] <DasEi> mads-: run with updatemanager -d
[18:31] <ClientAlive> c'mon now guys... where's the love?
[18:31] <DasEi> !dist-upgrade
[18:31] <Fyodorovna> mads-, yu can do a network with the minimal cd if needed.
[18:32] <Dr-Willis> launcher changes color based on wallpaper main colors. a new feature. I think the webupd8 site mentiond how to turn it off.
[18:32] <Dr-Willis> bbl.
[18:32] <kunguz> I have GMA500 which does not have good relationship with Linux, I have to switch to VESA somehow, any ideas?
[18:32] <ClientAlive> sure is frustrating to try and figure out what should be a 2 min fix for hrs...
[18:32] <Gary_inNYC> does anyone know if precise pangolin requires PAE from cpu?
[18:32] <trek201> ok, someone told me earlier how to get ndiswrapper... it was sudo apt-get install ndissomething
[18:32] <trek201> any ideas?
[18:33] <megabitdragon> minimec, I did it as the same user but I will try recovery mode and see what happens
[18:33] <DasEi> Gary_inNYC: same as beforehand, 32 bit needs pae for more than 4 g ram, graphics included
[18:33] <minimec> kunguz: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.  At least I think so.
[18:34] <Gary_inNYC> DasEi: ok
[18:34] <kunguz> minimec: thanks!
[18:34] <kilrae> trek201, search in software centre
[18:34] <DasEi> minimec: no, that just rewrites the config, but could do the trick
[18:34] <Buuyo> Is it safe to install kernel upgrades in a 12.04LTS cloud guest on EC2?
[18:34] <trek201> kilrae: all that comes up is the windows wireless driver
[18:34] <trek201> i need the thing that the windows wireless driver needs to work
[18:35] <Sol4Pistons> Hello
[18:35] <DasEi> trek201: broadcom chip ?
[18:35] <trek201> no
[18:35] <minimec> DasEi: kunguz How do you get that 'console ui' again. I know that there was some possibility to get this config ui...
[18:35] <Sol4Pistons> Does anyone here know how to fix a problem with WUBI?
[18:35] <kunguz> minimec: unfortunately no console-ui appeared :(
[18:35] <minimec> kunguz: What about blacklisting the i915 or so driver, if other proposition is not working?
[18:36] <DasEi> minimec: not sure, hardy had some stuff isn't there no more and many drivers like nvidia provide gui
[18:36] <kunguz> minimec: how to do I change boot options? I am not use to grub2 :(
[18:36] <trek201> it was something like sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dpkg
[18:36] <trek201> except thats not it
[18:36] <kunguz> minimec: I should blacklist it from boot options, right?
[18:36] <kilrae> dkms
[18:36] <trek201> yes!
[18:36] <DasEi> kunguz: left control, e for edit , c for booting
[18:36] <sda> hi all, i used to install ubuntu on my two hd / on sdb (SSD) and /home on sda (HDD) but after i installed UB12.04 the computer won't boot, the only way to make it work it's say to use entire sda and make the installing process partition and install. How can I fix it?
[18:36] <trek201> wait no
[18:37] <kilrae> which is listed in software centre
[18:37] <trek201> thats not it either
[18:37] <minimec> DasEi: kunguz: Let me search the net for that.
[18:37] <kunguz> DasEi: at the boot time, my screen is whole black by the way; I can not see anything until I reach to the UI
[18:37] <minimec> kunguz: You could sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and add i915 there...
[18:37] <the-system> Bonjours
[18:37] <kunguz> minimec: thanks! trying...
[18:38] <trek201> cant find anything matching dkms in software center
[18:38] <DasEi> kunguz: you can remove the quiet option, if you want to see all this gibberish or call dmesg
[18:38] <kilrae> i must say, software centre is much nicer than i remember
[18:38] <trek201> maybe i need to update my apt-get
[18:38] <kunguz> minimec: ok, restarting...
[18:39] <kunguz> minimec: I have added a line as blacklist i915
[18:39] <shadowspell> what I should do if wired connection appears disconnected ?
[18:39] <minimec> kunguz: That could work...
[18:40] <kunguz> minimec: seems like working, but one problem stays the same :( The half of the screen is overlaying onto the other half so I can only use half of the screen
[18:40] <kunguz> minimec: the behaviour is the same both for built-in drivers and vesa
[18:41] <kunguz> minimec: INTEL wasn't like this in the past :( GMA500 is a disaster :(
[18:41] <minimec> kunguz: DasEi: Well there was an ui once --> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg --You will be asked a bunch of questions about your hardware, do your best to answer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690760
[18:41] <bs0d> Hello everyone
[18:42] <minimec> kunguz: How do you know then, that is uses the vesa driver? Did you do some lsmod |grep intel/vesa?
[18:42] <bs0d> How much disk space ( VM ) do I need for a desktop ubuntu installation with couple of software installed from packages ( say, pgadmin3, mysql client software and some Jabber client ) ?
[18:42] <kunguz> minimec: screen resolution changed after blacklisting
[18:42] <bs0d> VirtualBox suggests 8 GB by default, but I think it will be pretty much
[18:42] <minimec> kunguz: That's a sign... I guess ;)
[18:43] <Guest21394> Any Iron browser users on here?
[18:43] <Fyodorovna> bs0d, the least is 4 gigs or so for install the install unpacks to about 3 gis
[18:43] <DasEi> minimec: yes, I was remembered to hardy, which also had some to create modlines, but it's gone now
[18:44] <Fyodorovna> s/gis/gigs
[18:44] <jost> can anyone recommend me: 1. a ftp server capable of using authentication via pam-mysql, 2. a mail delivery agent working with pam-mysql?
[18:44] <bs0d> Fyodorovna: thank you
[18:44] <minimec> kunguz: Did you check/try something like that? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1229345
[18:44] <mads-> Looks like my /etc/apt/trusted.gpg has been corrupted. Can I somehow reset it?
[18:44] <Fyodorovna> bs0d, no problem good luck. :)
[18:44] <jost> I don't want to use vsftp or dbmail
[18:44] <kunguz> minimec: checking
[18:45] <kunguz> minimec: I believe this was before they have implemented some new driver inside kernel
[18:45] <minimec> kunguz: In that thread, they are working with a xorg.conf file. You would have to create one, I guess.

[18:48] <DNA_> Hello, I am a Linux newbie.  I have set up Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04 dual boot system on my laptop. I use Truecrypt (v 7) encrypted partitions. These partitions are set as Favorites volumes. In Windows Treucrypt has option of auto mounting favorite volumes on logon. But I don't see such option in Ubuntu. I searched for a solution to auto mount Truecrypt favorite volumes in Ubuntu without success. Can anyone advice me on this?

[18:48] <neattoast> DNA : I am not sure, but I think that ubuntu can't read trucrypt disks. Am I right, anyone?
[18:49] <neattoast> The_BROS: did you try reinstalling?
[18:49] <shadowspell> DasEi: File exists
[18:49] <minimec> kunguz: no problem. ;)
[18:49] <DasEi> DNA_: yes, go to tc's homepage, there the needed commands are found to manually mount partitions > script them
 complete system or Unity?
[18:49] <Fyodorovna> DNA_, you might try #truecrypt as well, small channel but more help
[18:49] <neattoast> The_BROS: just unity!
[18:50] <DNA_> neattost: I can manually mount truecrypt partitions in Ubuntu.
[18:50] <usr> hey de donde son?
[18:50] <DasEi> does ifconfig list valid networkcards , shadowspell ?
[18:50] <lwizardl> hello

[18:50] <neattoast> good to know :)
 how can I do that if there is no any toolbars and dash when I login to Unity?
[18:50] <lwizardl> I was wondering if there is a way to create a docked section of the desktop to put mount points always appear
[18:50] <neattoast> The_BROS: unity 2d of course
[18:51] <countfuzzball> Is it possible for me to get a reading of how much cache memory isn't disk cache?

[18:51] <usr> hello, I have a problem with a wireless driver. I installed ubuntu 12.04 but the wireless card is not being activated. I tried iwconfig and I only see lo and eth0 which I believe is lan. My card is Broadcom BCM4311. Where can I find the driver and how can I install it?
[18:51] <neattoast> The_BROS: sudo apt-get install unity
[18:52] <neattoast> I think that is it.
[18:52] <shadowspell> DasEi: it shows some ethernet, eth0 ,wlan0, lo
[18:52] <mads-> If the /etc/apt/trusted.gpg has been deleted, can I then somehow "reset" it?
[18:52] <yoophglup> wow, i cam here to ask a question. I was trying to remember the exact error so I searched the part I could remember. Google displayed search results which showed the error I was receiving. I then clicked the link and found the solution. Thanks for all the help!
[18:52] <countfuzzball> neattoast: I don't have unity/gnome installed. This is a 12.04 server install.
[18:52] <Dr_willis> The_BROS,  if you want to reset the unity settings tehres the 'unity --reset' command i belive
[18:52] <countfuzzball> with X/fluxbox etc.
[18:52] <DasEi> shadowspell: sudo ifup eth0               ?
[18:52] <Infinite8> Going from Windows to 12.04 LTS.  Machine has a whopping 8GB or RAM.  Shld I go with the 32 bit and install PAE or just the 64 bit?
[18:52] <Dr_willis> The_BROS,  to seeif its a unity setting issue. you could make a new user and see if unity works for them.
[18:52] <Dr_willis> Infinite8,  i alwyas go 64bit os if the hardware can support it.
[18:52] <usr> !Broadcom
[18:53] <DasEi> Infinite8: I'd use 64 bit, less hassle
[18:53] <neattoast> countfuzzball: install the task manager then. I think the package is something like gnome-task-manager. Use apt-cache
 I should type 'unity --reset' in terminal?
[18:53] <usr> !Broadcom

[18:58] <neattoast> doctari: could be a compiz problem. Did you try restarting compiz? (compiz --replace)
[18:59] <doctari> neattoast, would compiz effect firefox internally
[18:59] <theadmin> notlistening: You can start the service from /etc/rc.local (just don't forget to stop it from /etc/rc.shutdown), since that gets executed very late in the boot process
[18:59] <shadowspell> DasEi: i should leave space a line then write the rest on gedit ?
[18:59] <neattoast> doctari: I think the tooltips are rendered with compiz
[19:00] <doctari> neattoast, but my rss feed which is an addon to firefox is affected
[19:00] <neattoast> doctari: Oh! did you try reinstalling the addon?
[19:00] <DasEi> shadowspell: no just the two given lines at the end of that file, should have 3 entry-blocks aka lo, eth0, wlan0

[19:01] <doctari> neattoast, not yet rss and google mouse over previews are affected, they look like the tooltip popups but I don't think they are generated the same
[19:01] <neattoast> doctari: Did you recently update firefox or ubuntu? I could be a compatiblity issue.
[19:01] <DasEi> KurtKraut: it's still there , least in my installs, call it from terminal

[19:04] <TheDJACR> :P
[19:04] <neattoast> doctari: are you using the latest version of everything?
[19:04] <theadmin> John_____: 12.10 will be released this October. Please don't give misleading information.
[19:04] <KurtKraut> DasEi, I've just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 and it is not installed by default. That is why I'm trying to figure out where would be the new default place for such configus.
[19:04] <TheDJACR> It's a good thing I know how to manage :)
[19:04] <minimec> mikubuntu: 'delete' or 'backspace'. Both work. To be sure, do sudo update-grub afterwards, to update all grub entries.

[19:05] <theadmin> sonnhy: Not sure what you're trying to ask. The 64-bit version is stable enough, for sure (well, at least as stable as the 32-bit one)

[19:06] <shadowspell> DasEi: already add eth0 inet dhcp but nothing changed
[19:06] <jonathank89> theadmin: that's what I figure it would be called https://bugs.launchpad.net/fglrx however I don't seem to be able to see any other bugs to search from to see if anyone else is having the same issue.
[19:06] <neattoast> doctari: It could be that your addons don't work with firefox 12.
[19:06] <DasEi> shadowspell: sudo dhclient still doesn't know eth0 ?
[19:06] <cc11rocks> Brightness (Fn + F4, Fn + F5) always work, Sound (Fn + F11, Fn + F12) only sometimes...
[19:06] <AlanBell> sonnhy: works great, all the programs in the archive work fine, stuff like skype also works fine, I am not aware of any problems at all
[19:07] <doctari> neattoast, its been working fine for months I have the latest addons. It was a sudden thing that happened during a session not when I opened up firefox
[19:07] <shadowspell> DasEi: answer is : File Exists
[19:07] <theadmin> Speaking of, does Ubuntu require a separate repo enabled for multilib support? (I haven't used the 64-bit Ubuntu before)
[19:07] <jakesyl> how to set up?
[19:07] <DasEi> shadowspell: sudo networking restart              ?
[19:07] <sda> why if i make the installer create partitions the system work, and if i decide how the partion should be it doesn't?
[19:07] <AlanBell> theadmin: no, it kind of just works,
[19:07] <mikubuntu> minimec, ok i made the change, then i did 'cont x' 'Y' to save, now how do i exit nano?
[19:08] <jonathank89> theadmin: I think because its the proprietary driver don't use launchpad as their bug tracker...maybe...I'm not too sure.
[19:08] <theadmin> AlanBell: Ah, lol, "kind of just works"... That's the whole Ubuntu :D
[19:08] <sonnhy> And what about the programs that works only on 32bit, how to use it?
[19:08] <AlanBell> theadmin: installing skype brings in a heap of i386:package stuff
[19:08] <theadmin> jonathank89: Well, there is a Launchpad bug page for any package in the official repos
[19:08] <AlanBell> sonnhy: what programs?
[19:08] <DasEi> theadmin: depends on which package, can find out my msg ubottu and then !info gedit  forr example
[19:08] <neattoast> doctari: Could be a corrupt settings file or another application. I don't think I can help you any further if it's this deep :(
[19:08] <shadowspell> DasEi: wrong commant
[19:08] <sonnhy> i don't know, i 32bit only
[19:08] <minimec> mikubuntu: Well. If you saved it correctly, you should be on the console again :(
[19:08] <Ang3> hey guys, the install program freeze on my laptop ...
[19:08] <doctari> neattoast, thanks for you time I appreciate it
[19:09] <sonnhy> i'm speaking about the 32 bit only, how i can use them?
[19:09] <theadmin> AlanBell: Thanks.
[19:09] <Ang3> i already burn 2 CDs alwayq the same issue
[19:09] <DasEi> shadowspell: sudo networking stop && sudo ntworkingh start              ?
[19:09] <neattoast> doctari: you're welcome
[19:09] <DasEi> e+
[19:09] <theadmin> DasEi: It'd be something like "sudo service networking restart"
[19:09] <theadmin> DasEi: I don't think "networking" is a command.
[19:09] <DasEi> theadmin: see above
[19:09] <Monotoko> does anyone know where I can talk with some ubiquity developers? :)
[19:09] <AlanBell> sonnhy: skype just works, it installs 32 bit libraries to support it. I am not aware of any other application that is 32 bit only.
[19:10] <DasEi> shadowspell: sudo service networking stop && sudo service networkingh start              ?
[19:10] <minimec> mikubuntu: depending on your language settings 'y'es, could be 'j'a or 'o'ui...
[19:10] <DasEi> theadmin: thanks, overseen that
[19:10] <bs0d> I am new to ubuntu. Please share your experiences, which ftp / sftp file manager, mysql client, and jabber client do you concider the best for Ubuntu?
[19:10] <mikubuntu> minimec, nano still open -- cursor sitting at the end of line "File Name to Write:  /ect/default/grub_ ... (just over Get Help  M-D DOS Format)
[19:10] <theadmin> AlanBell: There are a bunch. The first example that comes to mind is TeamViewer -- not sure, but it pulls a ton of lib32-* packages on my system.
[19:10] <shadowspell> DasEi: unknown instance
[19:11] <gcmx> bs0d filezilla for ftp
[19:11] <Monotoko> let's try that again, does anyone know where I can talk to some developers? I just need some pointers on fixing my own bug
[19:11] <theadmin> AlanBell: (That's a non-Ubuntu system, but still, their "64-bit" version relies heavily on 32-bit libs)
[19:11] <mikubuntu> minimec, nano still open -- cursor sitting at the end of line "File Name to Write:  /ect/default/grub_ ... (just over Get Help  M-D DOS Format)
[19:11] <theadmin> Monotoko: #ubuntu-devel might be a good place.
[19:11] <sonnhy> and there aren't problems if i install a huge amount of 32 libs?
[19:11] <DasEi> shadowspell: sudo service networking start
[19:11] <AlanBell> bs0d: for ftp/sftp I would use the standard nautilus file manager, for mysql I kind of like phpmyadmin (secure it carefully), not sure about jabber.
[19:11] <shadowspell> DaSei: do i need to disconnect first from wireless ?
[19:11] <DasEi> shadowspell: no
[19:12] <jonathank89> theadmin: thanks for your help
[19:12] <theadmin> jonathank89: No problems
[19:12] <minimec> mikubuntu: Answer with the first letter of 'yes' in your default system language. If that is not working...
[19:13] <theadmin> minimec: Just so you know, "y" is always valid and always interpreted as true when apps ask for a yes/no thing over CLI -- no matter the language. Like in Russian I can type "y" or "д".
[19:13] <minimec> mikubuntu: ... close the terminal, open another one and type sudo gedit /etc/dfault/grub ...
[19:13] <mikubuntu> minimec, its english -- but i'm saying -- i already DID 'contrl' 'X
[19:14]  * totesmuhgoats never even considered the yes / no prompt in other languages
[19:14] <minimec> theadmin: Ok. Thx Did not know that...
[19:14] <sonnhy> ok thanks, now i will install the 64 bit version, thanks for help
[19:14] <John> Ubuntu 12.04 Alpha is Out!: http://goo.gl/H7RjN
[19:14] <cc11rocks> Can anyone help me with my keys problem?
[19:14] <cc11rocks> John : Ubuntu 12.04 Final is Out!
[19:14] <mikubuntu> minimec, when i try to close the term, it says there is a process running, and closing it will kill it
[19:14] <theadmin> Someone ban John, please.
[19:14] <gcmx> where have u been John??
[19:15] <shadowspell> DaSei: still Wired Network Disconnected
[19:15] <alankila> Is there a known bug in precise kernel which somehow relates to task_struct slab bloating to something like 200 MB and processes randomly stalling?
[19:15] <DasEi> shadowspell: sudo ifup eth0  ?
[19:15] <minimec> mikubuntu: kill it, open a new one and do 'sudo gedit /etc/default/grub'. you get the editor GUI with the open fiel. Do the changes and save. Then sudo update-grub and reboot
[19:16] <gcmx> help, can't shut my Ubuntu down. it juz stalls at the Ubuntu sign and the dots keep moving FOREVER!!
[19:17] <shadowspell> DaSei:  eth0 already configured
[19:17] <gcmx> I always have to manually shut the pc down
[19:17] <yacc> Any idea how to mount an ecryptfs-ed home directory if I know the passphrase? (Technically speaking my home directory uses the same key, it's a restore of an earlier backup of my box)
[19:17] <theadmin> gcmx: That happens sometimes. Try appending "reboot=bios" to your kernel line (yes, reboot, weird name for the param I know -- still, it often helps with such problems)
[19:18] <gcmx> thanks theadmin, going to try it now :)
[19:18] <sherif> hi guys
[19:18] <aberon> Can anyone tell me why the Software Center says I have the java openjdk installed even though my /usr/lib/jvm/ is completly empty?
[19:18] <shadowspell> DasEi: eth0 already configured
[19:19] <mikubuntu> minimec, thx -- rebooting -- i'll let you know
[19:20] <sherif> i have problem with chromium always give me the message "this webpage is not available" especially with twitter
[19:21] <alankila> gcmx: I've also noticed that these days it makes a difference if you type "sudo poweroff" vs. "sudo halt". The halt may actually just crash the machine at the end of it, and not power down. Although any screen animation should stop if this is the case
[19:21] <sherif> anyone here
[19:21] <Boohbah> sherif: can you open the same pages in firefox?
[19:21] <DasEi> shadowspell: ifconfig now shows an ip ?
[19:22] <sherif> boohbah im checking it takes long time sending request
[19:22] <Boohbah> sherif: then you probably need to fix your network connection
[19:23] <bs0d> very sorry for stupid noobie question, but where can I find "All Programs" kind of menu, and how to access terminal? I can't find any icon / menu entry for it
[19:23] <aberon> Boohbah, do you know the answer to my question?
[19:23] <nishttal2> after a fresh install of 12.04 i am getting a no suck partition error and grub rescue
[19:23] <shadowspell> DasEi: it shows one more thing, etho avahi
[19:23] <aberon> bs0d, go to the dash
[19:23] <aberon> and search terminal
[19:23] <minimec> aberon: If you did a 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall default-jdk' Maybe that helps.
[19:23] <sherif> boohbah im connected when i use windows it works fine
[19:23] <mikubuntu_> minimec, seems to be fixed -- thanx again
[19:23] <minimec> mikubuntu_: No problem.
[19:23] <aberon> minimec, what does that install? open or sun
[19:23] <shadowspell> DasEi: and it show inet address on eth0:avahi
[19:24] <sherif> boohbah but in ubuntu always takes longer time to open n some sites never open
[19:24] <mikubuntu_> and Jordan_U thanks also for help yesterday
[19:24] <minimec> aberon: Default is openjdk-6-jdk
[19:24] <aberon> at what version? I need it to be about or on 30
[19:24] <gcmx> alankila thanks man
[19:24] <minimec> aberon: openjdk-7-jdk should also be in the repository.
[19:24] <DasEi> bs0d: welcome, either alt+F2  enter gnome-rterminal, or in the guy it's located under more apps; softwre-center and syaptics for addional installs,, and you can chaange back to gnome or other if you like
[19:25] <aberon> no openjdk 7 thank
[19:25] <aberon> you
[19:25] <DasEi> gnome-terminal*, bs0d
[19:25] <DasEi> shadowspell: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[19:26] <bs0d> DasEi: btw what wm is used in ubuntu by default?
[19:26] <theadmin> Can someone explain what words like "ubuntu", "debian", "fakesync", "git", "svn" do? Like how do they affect the package manager's preference of one package over another?
[19:26] <DasEi> shadowspell:  pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces
[19:26] <aberon> minimec, after doing that command, java -version doesn't bring up anything
[19:26] <aberon> o wait
[19:26] <aberon> sorry nvm
[19:26] <alankila> theadmin: a question like that is unanswerable. As far as I can tell, the words are not of the same class at all.
[19:27] <DasEi> bs0d: lightdm I think, I'm not using unity either, but that works with gdm, too
[19:27] <kel_> aberon at the least you should see something like this is openjdk6 is installed
[19:27] <kel_>   Selection    Path                                      Priority   Status

[19:27] <FloodBot1> kel_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:27] <DasEi> shadowspell: give url from terminal here
[19:27] <shadowspell> DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/955841/
[19:27] <theadmin> alankila: I randomly encounter them in the package versions. I can understand that, say, 1.2 is obviously greater than 1.1 or 1.1.1, but which of "1.2ubuntu1" or "1.2ubuntu2" is greater? I can't make sense of this scheme of naming.
[19:27] <aberon> kel_, nah, java-version brings up a list of packages
[19:28] <kel_> no i mean when you go to config
[19:28] <kel_> you say it installed buy you see nothing
[19:28] <kel_> but*
[19:28] <alankila> theadmin: ah. Okay, now I get it. I think the heuristics are complicated, but it must go something like this: the version string is tokenized to numbers and alphabet strings, and numbers are sorted numerically and strings alphabetically, I guess.
[19:28] <aberon> kel_, it brings up the same packages
[19:28] <DasEi> shadowspell:  pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf
[19:29] <aberon> kel_, yah, nothing is in /usr/lib/jvm/
[19:29] <bcuraboy> guys,i've runned the usb disk creator that comes with ubuntu 12.04 to make an installation of ubuntu 12.04 on other pc.but it stucks at some point...
[19:29] <kel_> unintall everything
[19:29] <alankila> theadmin: this scheme at least provides something that should look and feel a whole lot like the version preference used by the package manager, and in general the cases are easier, like only the last digit is different, say -1 to -2, or -1 and -1ubuntu1 (apparently the longer string is preferred)
[19:29] <bcuraboy> i've downloaded the .iso file from the ubuntu site
[19:29] <bcuraboy> and the pen is 8gb size
[19:29] <bcuraboy> what could be wrong?
[19:29] <kel_> restart your systen aberon and then install both openjava6 and openjava7
[19:30] <kel_> see if anything is in the configeration file at that point
[19:30] <kel_> no matter if you use 7 or not
[19:30] <kel_> something should show up
[19:30] <theadmin> alankila: It's a strange scheme generally... How would hex version numbers get interpreted (some vcs's do that)? Like would "f" correctly get put above "9"?
[19:30] <ntadej> Hi, I have a problem after upgrading to precise
[19:30] <shadowspell> DasEi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/955844/

[19:31] <theadmin> alankila: Makes sense, thanks. Well you did clear it up a bit
[19:31] <kel_> yea search the repository manually
[19:31] <DasEi> shadowspell:  sudo dhclient   (looks all good, and has a standard router address set)
[19:31] <theadmin> alankila: Still can't understand why they do this... If they need some bumping mechanism, they could just append a number after a dash or something\
[19:32] <TheDJACR> Question: So I updated from 11.10 to 12.04, and now my Broadcom driver isn't loaded. I go to the menu to load it, it says all of the applicable modules have been blacklisted

[19:33] <monvillalon> I need to figure out from what repository an application was installed, is this possible?  Sorry. How can I put icons I need quite often to desktop ( terminal, mail client, db admin software etc )? Its not very convenient to perform a search every time I need to run something

[19:35] <theadmin> bs0d: I think you can simply create a Launcher (right click desktop and find something about that there), or right click a running app in the left panel and "Keep in Launcher".
[19:35] <bs0d> theadmin: thank you, I'll try to do it
[19:35] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks. I just updated to 12.04, and I've found that the Activities menu in GNOME no longer displays my recent documents when I type there (even though the dock in Ubuntu still does). Anybody know why and how to fix it?

[19:51] <trism> Yerushalmi: I think the easiest way is with gsettings vendor overrides, http://paste.ubuntu.com/955897/ , copy that to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/unity-greeter.gschema.override then run: sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/; and restart lightdm, hopefully after that no drum beat
[19:51] <L3top> Yerushalmi: I would find the chime and echo > /path/to/chimename.mp3
[19:51] <L3top> Yerushalmi: but that is a terribly hacky way to go about it.
[19:51] <joseluis64> does anyone knows how may I set a wallpaper slide in Ubuntu 12.04
[19:51] <mikubuntu_> wait a minute --- if my new version is using UNITY then it's not a gnome panel, right?
[19:52] <aberon> nperry, what will that do ?
[19:52] <aberon> nooo
[19:53] <Yerushalmi> trism: How do I restart lightdm?
[19:53] <Yerushalmi> trism: (I'm fairly new to Ubuntu)
[19:54] <L3top> Yerushalmi: service lightdm restart
[19:54] <joseluis64> Yerushalmi: Log into a tty Ctrl
[19:55] <Yerushalmi> L3top: Thanks. I got a bunch of "Rejected send message" warnings, but the first one said "stop" and the second one said "start" so I'll assume it worked...
[19:55] <Yerushalmi> *logs off to test*
[19:56] <Yerushalmi> Woohoo! It worked! Thanks guys, you people are awesome.
[19:56] <snell> where can i get help running mame on 12.04?
[19:59] <agentjrac> Has anyone had any trouble with the ubunto 11.10 update?
[19:59] <Yerushalmi> Another question: I have a Firefox extension that puts the RSS feeds in my bookmarks in bold or faded out, depending on if they have new or unread items or the like. This doesn't seem to work at all in the standard login (the one called "Ubuntu") presumably because the menu is detached from the window, instead appearing in the upper bar. The entire menu is in the same face. It works,...
[19:59] <Yerushalmi> ...however, in "GNOME". Anybody know how to get it working in "Ubuntu"?
[19:59] <Boohbah> agentjrac: no
[19:59] <Toph2> agentjrac,,, first time ever, mine went smoothly
[20:00] <agentjrac> I don't like the new contrast, I can't read anything on the screen.
[20:00] <Boohbah> snell: sudo apt-get install mame
[20:00] <agentjrac> And it appears to be frozen.
[20:00] <agentjrac> is 12.04 better?
[20:00] <Boohbah> way better
[20:00] <agentjrac> Sweet, well then that's what the computer is getting.
[20:00] <Guest21112> no
[20:00] <agentjrac> Thank God I have another computer.
[20:01] <Boohbah> agentjrac: it is usually easier to do a clean install than an upgrade
[20:01] <agentjrac> Oh okay yeah I don't think walking away and going to lunch helped either.
[20:01] <Boohbah> lunch always helps
[20:01] <Toph2> agentjrac,,, sorry,,, i didn't have trouble with the 11.10 update,, the 12.04 went smoothly
[20:01] <agentjrac> Well I am going to clean install the 12.04.
[20:01] <agentjrac> I am downloading it now.
[20:02] <agentjrac> Thanks for the help. I am very very VERY new to linux.
[20:02] <agentjrac> But I love it, even my grandmother understands it better than windows.
[20:03] <agentjrac> You guys have a good day.
[20:03] <snell> boohbah i installed mame but i cannot find documentation on how to run roms
[20:03] <bcuraboy> i'm having problems installing ubuntu 12.04 through a usb pen
[20:03] <javajosh> What are the major differences between 12.04 and 10.04? (And why do so many versions have a ".04" minor number?:)
[20:04] <pyboy> javajosh: there is a big difference
[20:04] <joseluis64> javajosh: that numbers are the date of launch of any version
[20:04] <bcuraboy> i already have tried make the usb disk through the disk creator that comes by default and through unetbootin
[20:04] <snell> is there a frontend for mame on 12.04?
[20:04] <bcuraboy> however it stucks every time at some point
[20:06] <Boohbah> snell: gnome-video-arcade
[20:06] <bcuraboy> help please
[20:07] <theREALjoshbeitl> hi?
[20:07] <pyboy> theREALjoshbeitl: hello
[20:07] <theREALjoshbeitl> I got a quick question for someone.
[20:08] <Boohbah> bcuraboy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[20:08] <theREALjoshbeitl> A hacker threatend to hack my computer (saying he know my internal ip, blalba trojan) - what are the odds of him doing any damage?
[20:08] <Boohbah> theREALjoshbeitl: approximately 3 out of 7
[20:08] <theREALjoshbeitl> really?
[20:08] <pyboy> theREALjoshbeitl: your ok
[20:08] <Boohbah> yes
[20:08] <b^j> since upgrading to 12.04 the touchpad on my Asus EEEpc 1005 stops working after being logged in for a while, it comes back on a reboot then eventually stops again
[20:08] <theREALjoshbeitl> ok good
[20:08] <theREALjoshbeitl> thanks
[20:09] <pyboy> theREALjoshbeitl: call the feds
[20:09] <bs0d> Does Ubuntu contain its own bind / named server by default? o_O
[20:09] <notlistening> Right I am still having trouble getting my printer driver to run during boot, tried rc.local and same problem :/
[20:09] <b^j> any ideas what the issue is
[20:09] <theREALjoshbeitl> pyboy: but then they'll arrest me for hacking! lol jk
[20:09] <notlistening> any other ideas how to start a login maybe?
[20:09] <bs0d> resolv.conf contains nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> and dig @localhost returns lookup results! I will highly appreciate, if anybody explains me what's going on
[20:09] <notlistening> I have tried crontab
[20:09] <cross> Hello, I've just ran tasksel command and installed tomcat, but can't lauch ubuntu now. Seems like I've removed Desktop env
[20:10] <cross> if anybody have an idea how to get it launched? Thank you for support!
[20:10] <theREALjoshbeitl> cross: you can get into a terminal from pressing Alt+Ctrl+F1
[20:10] <theREALjoshbeitl> then you can do your troubleshooting
[20:10] <cross> awesome
[20:10] <guntbert> bs0d: what system are you running?
[20:10] <cross> trying it now
[20:10] <cross> thank you theREALjoshbeitl
[20:10] <bs0d> guntbert: Ubuntu Desktop 12.04, just installed in half an hour ago
[20:10] <theREALjoshbeitl> yw
[20:11] <pyboy> theREALjoshbeitl: dont get on the wrongside of hackers  what are you doing that got you in that much trouble
[20:11] <theREALjoshbeitl> pyboy: I made him mad on a Minecraft server
[20:11] <LjL> theREALjoshbeitl: this isn't really an Ubuntu technical support issue... please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic but anyway i wouldn't overly worried, as long as your security is reasonable
[20:11] <bs0d> guntbert: it runs some kind of dnsmasq as I see here .. but what is it?
[20:11] <theREALjoshbeitl> LjL: oh sry
[20:12] <bcuraboy> Boohbah, i've done those steps but it still stucks
[20:12] <bcuraboy> i've tried both ways
[20:13] <eph3meral> so I (thought) I configured my Ubuntu 11.10 Server Virtual machine to be an XDMCP Server, but I still can't get my windows host to connect to it... I've opened UDP 177 and TCP 6000 on my vbox NAT, but still no love when attempting to connect from MobaXTerm, any suggestions? most of the tutorials out there are not very descriptive or informative, I've been googling for a while now
[20:13] <dabeast_> How do I set the boot flag off on a NTFS partition???
[20:13] <bs0d> guntbert: and another issue, /etc/hosts seem not to be read. I have checked /etc/nsswitch.conf host file dns .... so first lookup should be to /etc/hosts, but I get ns query instead to ( localhost ! dns server )
[20:13] <bs0d> weird
[20:13] <guntbert> bs0d: I am surprised as well
[20:13] <eph3meral> anyone else have experience configuring and connecting to an XDMCP server?
[20:13] <theadmin> dabeast_: sudo cfdisk /dev/sda, find your NTFS partition, select "Boot", it will set it off, then select "Write". Finally, "Quit".
[20:14] <U-b-u-n-t-u> When I try to upgrade to 12.04 it fails and the reason is "failed to get release notes" ... any suggestions?
[20:14] <guntbert> !info dnsmasq | bs0d
[20:14] <dabeast_> theadmin: thanks
[20:14] <guntbert> bs0d: that states "optional"
[20:14] <bs0d> ubottu: thanks a lot. I have found it from processes list running .. another question is how to turn it off from autostart?
[20:15] <bs0d> guntbert: I have found it from processes list running .. another question is how to turn it off from autostart?
[20:15] <guntbert> bs0d: the package dnsmasq is *not* installed - let me have a look
[20:16] <U-b-u-n-t-u> When I try to upgrade to 12.04 it fails and the reason is "failed to get release notes"  there is a second one now "check your internet connection" ... any suggestions?
[20:16] <bs0d> guntbert: it is, in my case .. and dnsmasq is run upon boot, its autostarted.
[20:16] <trism> bs0d: see http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/
[20:16] <bs0d> guntbert: I now see "Additional autostart applications" and its not on the list .. need to turn if off somehow
[20:17] <bs0d> trism: thanks a lot. Seems, that's what I need
[20:17] <trism> bs0d: it describes how to turn it off later in that post "I really don’t want a local resolver, how can I turn it off?"
[20:17] <guntbert> bs0d: apt-cache policy dnsmasq will tell you if it is installed
[20:17] <Xunie> Any issues with miro being a resource hog?
[20:17] <U-b-u-n-t-u> When I try to upgrade to 12.04 it fails and the reason is "failed to get release notes"  there is a second one now "check your internet connection" ... any suggestions? << I change servers to the main server and its working now
[20:17] <railsraider_> can't get apache2 to install No apache MPM package installed - i did try to install apache2-mpm-prefork but with no luck
[20:18] <bs0d> guntbert: strange .. apt-cache sais it's not installed, but it gets autostarted and I see it running on the processes list :\
[20:18] <Yerushalmi> I have a Firefox extension that puts the RSS feeds in my bookmarks in bold/faded out, depending on if they have new/unread items. It doesn't work at all in the standard login (the one called "Ubuntu"), presumably because the menu is detached from the window, instead appearing in the upper bar; instead, the entire menu is in the same face. It works, however, in "GNOME". Anybody know how to...
[20:18] <Yerushalmi> ...get it working in "Ubuntu"?
[20:18] <bs0d> guntbert: it must have been installed from installation cd by installer and now from apt
[20:18] <guntbert> bs0d: read what trism sent you
[20:19] <theadmin> Yerushalmi: This is a radical solution, but if you "sudo apt-get remove firefox-globalmenu" the menu will go back to it's "normal" position rather than being in the upper bar.
[20:19] <trism> bs0d: only dnsmasq-base is installed by default
[20:20] <bs0d> trism: that's what I have running here .. I'm reading article you sent me link to .. hope I'll be able to get rid of it :)
[20:20] <Yerushalmi> theadmin: I like this idea, actually. I never did like the global menu. I wonder if it'll work.
[20:20] <theadmin> Yerushalmi: If you don't like the global menu entirely, you can get rid of it for all the apps with "sudo apt-get remove appmenu-gtk appmenu-qt"
[20:20] <guntbert> trism: according to !info dnsmasq-base it should be optional -- is there a bug somewhere?
[20:21] <minimec> Yerushalmi: The first thing I do after a ubuntu insatll is to uninstall all appmenu-* packages and firefox-globalmenu. It works ;)
[20:21] <bs0d> trism: well, its just describing dnsmasq .. but how to turn it off totally, that it's not run upon boot? I do not see it in "Autostart" programms list :(
[20:21] <Yerushalmi> theadmin: Shiny! I'll do that. I wish there were a simple setting I could do instead of having to uninstall it. Let's see if it works (I'm running GNOME right now, so I'll have to log out to find out)
[20:22] <minimec> Yerushalmi: there is one, but only available via ppa. it's called unsettings I think. You should find the link on webupd8.org
[20:22] <b^j> anyone know why my trackpad randomly stops working after upgrading to 12.04?
[20:23] <mikubuntu_> minimec, new problem -- just tried to share a story on facebook, and noticed i have no docking tray at the bottom showing -- is that a gnome panel?
[20:23] <bs0d> trism: Oh, Im blind. Thanks for the link!
[20:24] <Xunie> Okay, wtfuuu.  I mean, Jesus.
[20:26] <minimec> mikubuntu_: That is a unity question and I don't use that... Per default, the systry is empty now. You can create a 'whitelist' whit applications to show in the systry. I also guess that there is a facebook 'app' for your personal 'online' menu 'the letter icon'.
[20:26] <yabai> yes
[20:26] <djp> hi, has anyone seen a 12.04 upgrade gone completely wrong; frozen at borked desktop?
[20:26] <djp> can't even get to recovery mode from grub
[20:26] <djp> totally pooched
[20:26] <eph3meral> djp, if you tried to upgrade "inline" then yes I'm not at all surprised that you b0rked your system
[20:26] <eph3meral> I don't even know why they provide that button
[20:27] <djp> it wen way bad
[20:27] <eph3meral> it should read "Click Here to Play Russian Roullette with your System" instead of "Upgrade"
[20:27] <minimec> mikubuntu_: systray ;) This should do for the systray. http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html
[20:27] <ThE> HELLO
[20:27] <djp> ok, but from here with a frozen desktop and no access to recovery-mode or a termin or a VT, then what?
[20:27] <ThE> hola
[20:27] <sbauer> cocolos Has left
[20:27] <cwill747> !hi | ThE
[20:28] <PiNinja> I just finished installing SC2, everything seems to be running fine until I try to login. After that, it crashes. Can anyone help me with this?
[20:28] <sbauer> What's up
[20:28] <sbauer> pininja are you using wine?
[20:28] <PiNinja> sbauer: Yes.
[20:28] <trism> guntbert: optional doesn't mean that a package isn't installed by default, in this case it is a dep of network-manager which is recommended by ubuntu-desktop
[20:28] <drPoO> how can i remap the Ctrl+Alt+T behaviour to a different program??
[20:28] <theadmin> PiNinja: #winehq for wine support, http://appdb.winehq.org may be helpful too
[20:29] <sbauer> PiNinja, that's probably more a wine related problem, more so than a ubuntu problem. I would suggest visiting wine's help channel.
[20:29] <theadmin> drPoO: Search for "Keyboard Shortcuts" and use that app
[20:29] <guntbert> trism: thx for the clarification
[20:29] <Yerushalmi> theadmin: Thanks much! It works perfectly now.
[20:29] <PiNinja> sbauer: Alright, I'll do that. Thanks.
[20:29] <theadmin> Yerushalmi: No probs... Weird problem though.
[20:29] <djp> what do I do when recovery-mode sends me back to a borked desktop?
[20:29] <drPoO> theadmin, I still want a terminal but one from terminator
[20:29] <abhinavmehta> what is this error:
[20:29] <abhinavmehta> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[20:30] <theadmin> drPoO: Remap it to "terminator" then.
[20:30] <abhinavmehta> I know, I can solve this error…but I want to know, why I'm getting this..?
[20:30] <Yerushalmi> theadmin: I guess there aren't many programs that customize their menus with colors and the like, so nobody really noticed it as being an issue.
[20:30] <djp> geez, with 1700+ on this channel, it's kina impossible, isn't it?
[20:30] <bs0d> I managed to switch that dnsmasq off, but still my /etc/hosts file doesn't get read for some reason :(
[20:31] <minimec> abhinavmehta: Well read. Exactly what it says... Just do the dpkg thing
[20:31] <bs0d> I can't understand why :(
[20:32] <xardul> anyone have any issues with the x64 installer?  gets to the welcome screen every time where I can click "install" or "try" and then it won't accept any input. mouse moves but no clicking, keyboard won't even register. ctrl+alt+delete doesn't even do anything. any ideas?
[20:32] <abhinavmehta> minimec: thanks for info…but I'm running "apt-get update" on remote-virtual instance….which is auto-handled by scripts….so I want to avoid this manual-intervention…and want to know, why I'm getting this..?
[20:32] <cwill747> djp: what made you go back into recovery mode?
[20:32] <cwill747> djp: as in what is the underlying proble
[20:32] <sirriffsalot_> Is there any software for ubuntu users that qualitatively lowers the pitch of the guitar signals coming in?:)
[20:32] <djp> THE BOX JUST BOOTS TO AN INCOMPLETE FROZEN DESKOP
[20:33] <djp> (sorry for shouting)
[20:33] <bs0d> djp: fresh installation?
[20:33] <minimec> abhinavmehta: Somehow the install process was interrupted. That can have multiple reasons... A broken package for example or other things.
[20:33] <djp> no, upgrade from 11.10
[20:33] <djp> using the Russion Roulette button
[20:34] <bs0d> problem solved. Thanks for help everybody
[20:34] <djp> if I could get to any kind of terminal, I think I could fix it
[20:34] <bs0d> djp: single user mode / rescue mode?
[20:34] <djp> but no recovery mode, no VT, no xterm
[20:34] <abhinavmehta> minimec: hmm…
[20:34] <abhinavmehta> minimec: thanks :)
[20:35] <djp> how do I boot to runlevel 3 from grub recovery mode ?
[20:36] <b^j> djp: doesn't recovery mode give you a menu to drop to a root prompt?
[20:36] <djp> nope, just sends me back to the borked desktop
[20:36] <ChrisWoollard> Does anybody know what is up with the gb ubuntu apt server. It is running like an absolute dog.
[20:36] <MonkeyDust> ChrisWoollard  meaning?
[20:37] <ChrisWoollard> it is slow
[20:37] <BobMarley> but sufficient
[20:37] <ChrisWoollard> extermely
[20:37] <b^j> djp: append ro Single to the boot options
[20:37] <aberon> can anyone tell me why java -version says I have java installed, but I can't do any webstart things?
[20:37] <ChrisWoollard> it has been downloading packages for about 6 hours
[20:37] <SolarisBoy> do you have javaws in your path?
[20:37] <john> b^j revoverymode requires you to log in as root. As ubuntu per default has no root password (You could of corce set one) this doesn't work so goos
[20:37] <SolarisBoy> aberon: ?
[20:38] <aberon> SolarisBoy, javaws?
[20:38] <SolarisBoy> aberon: yes
[20:38] <aberon> SolarisBoy, I am not sure. I do not know what that is
[20:38] <SolarisBoy> aberon: its the binary that loads a jnlp.
[20:38] <aberon> SolarisBoy, How do I check?
[20:38] <SolarisBoy> aberon: javaws -version
[20:38] <ChrisWoollard> I was getting the kind of download speed you would expect from a dialup modem
[20:38] <b^j> dip: k, boot with a live cd  or thumb drive and set a password or chroot and do your fix
[20:39] <xardul> 12.04 64bit installer hangs at opening screen. any way to get to console during CD boot?
[20:39] <SolarisBoy> it will thrown an error but show you the version still (as its not a valid option) but point being it shouldn't be command not found
[20:39] <aberon> pm
[20:39] <aberon> didnt want to flood main
[20:39] <mikubuntu_> minimec, thx i'll try to find a solution
[20:39] <mikubuntu_> new problem -- just tried to share a story on facebook, and noticed i have no docking tray at the bottom showing -- is that a gnome panel?
[20:40] <minimec> mikubuntu_: systray ;) This should do for the systray. http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html
[20:40] <FredFuchs> In short I'm having problems with 12.04. When selecting install ubuntu from a livecd it gives me the option to install a prior ubuntu version whilst keeping my personal documents. Does that actually work?
[20:40] <mikubuntu_> minimec, thx -- checkg it now
[20:41] <MonkeyDust> FredFuchs  the live cd, which ubuntu version?
[20:41] <dabeast_> Does anyone know if AR9285 is supported by the kernel.
[20:41] <dabeast_> ?
[20:42] <FredFuchs> MonkeyDust when I booted the 11.04 disc it said I could do that if I wished?
[20:42] <yacc> Just making sure, could it be that there is no way to mount an arbitrary ecryptfs "underlying fs" on some random mountpoint without resorting to coding it oneself?
[20:42] <MonkeyDust> FredFuchs  what's bothering you, then, 11.04 is older than 12.04, i'm not getting it
[20:43] <trism> dabeast_: it is with ath9k
[20:43] <flippo> I must say, HUD is very nice.
[20:44] <CaoBranco> What a have to do to execute a .jar file? i have the jdk
[20:44] <AbeFM> Issues! I've been running 10.x for a while since my 11.xx experiences have kinda sucked, but I thought I'd try 12.04 on my windows box (modern i5, ssd and an older nvidia card)
[20:44] <AbeFM> Can someone help me with issues? I lose responsiveness for ~2 minutes whenever anything tries to use transparnecy. Already have nvidia drivers.
[20:44] <MonkeyDust> FredFuchs  do you want to install an older version, go ahead, though I don't see the point in doing it
[20:44] <cfedde> release party in north denver today.
[20:44] <FredFuchs> MonkeyDust I upgraded to 12.04 which is currently installed to my HDD. Currently it's tripping over it's self and doesn't work. So I wondered if I could simply downgrade to 11.10 and not have to fully backup,wipe and install.
[20:45] <Duke> hi all :) i installed Ubuntu 12 from USB at my laptop but.... it works only when USB stick is pluged in. Otherwise i see a black screen :( any word of advise?
[20:45] <MonkeyDust> FredFuchs  yes, if you have a separate /home partition
[20:45] <Random832> Duke: when it asked where to install grub what did you say
[20:45] <guntbert> FredFuchs: downgrades are *not* recommended/possible/supported
[20:45] <stantonwarrior> Hi, I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu 11.10 on a box that used to run earlier versions of Ubuntu fine. But I have since changed the card from a Geforce to a Radeon and Ubuntu just doesn't get on with it.
[20:46] <AbeFM> Duke: I had a similar issue, flickering and all that, black screen one time. I rebooted a couple times then was able to install nvidia drivers. But it's just unusable slow
[20:46] <stantonwarrior> I posted about it on the official forum but nobody has replied to it yet (you can see a screenshot in there): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11875255#post11875255
[20:46] <AbeFM> yeah - similar to what I had
[20:46] <FredFuchs> MonkeyDust what do you mean by having a seperate home partition?
[20:47] <The_BROS> Is there an opportunity to hibernate in 12.04?
[20:47] <Duke> random832: i picked to use all disk
[20:47] <MonkeyDust> FredFuchs  then all your personal files will be saved and just / will be reinstalled
[20:47] <AbeFM> Better question: How do I get this unusable 12.04 OFF my windows drive? I'll try it again when it's ready
[20:47] <abs> hey, my laptop keeps getting ridiculously hot (it's dualboot one -- win7, and I put 12.04 on it recently). I should mention that when on win7 it doesn't get NEARLY as hot. Any tips?
[20:48] <abs> basically, it gets so hot that it auto shuts off pretty frequently
[20:48] <Duke> abeFM: i see.... i have a totaly black screen tho. and cursur blinking at upper left corner
[20:49] <mikubuntu> minimec, fyi this commandline solution didn't work for me :: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html -- it's not an emergency issue -- i'm not going to worry about it, just going to go back to ubuntu classic till unity gets more together
[20:49] <abs> Iḿ thinking itś because of the nvidia drivers. Should I get rid of them and use the opensource ones? Can someone please briefly describe how I would do this?
[20:49] <Duke> abs: i have the same problem but it gets extremly hot and noisy under windows vista.
[20:49] <AbeFM> Duke: How many tries at rebooting? I tried recovery mode.... And safe graphics mode, and kept rebooting, eventually I got in and first thing I did was put on nvidia drivers
[20:49] <Duke> abeFM: 3 times so far.... actually. i'm pretty new at this. don't even know to install drivers :(
[20:50] <minimec> mikubuntu: You will have the same problem, when it comes to the systray, I guess...
[20:50] <AbeFM> Can someone tell me how to remove the ubuntu/windows bootloader thing?
[20:50] <b^j> AbeFM: you would have to do a windows repair install
[20:50] <MonkeyDust> AbeFM  you mean the grub menu?
[20:50] <rfictus> anyone know why my sound input isn't working anymore in 12.04 ??
[20:51] <AbeFM> I think so? It's very unlike the grub 1 and 2 I've used in the past
[20:51] <MonkeyDust> rfictus  in Terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM (mute), go there and press m
[20:51] <stantonwarrior> Can anyone help me with my 11.10 install problem? Thanks.
[20:51] <InferiorHumanOrg> rfictus: did you upgrade to 24 kernel ? it broke my sound too. I went back to 23
[20:51] <rfictus> MonkeyDust: already did that
[20:51] <AbeFM> I already HAVE dual boot, on anotehr drive,but now I come into windows and I get a "windows boot loader" option. This was the "install ubuntu from within windows" thing I just thought I'd try
[20:52] <rfictus> InferiorHumanOrg: sound is still working, except input
[20:52] <greg606> hi
[20:52] <Jordan_U> AbeFM: Remove Wubi through Add/Remove programs
[20:52] <MonkeyDust> AbeFM  you mean wubi?
[20:52] <InferiorHumanOrg> rfictus: try going back to the 23 kernel and see if it works, they did something in 24...
[20:52] <rfictus> InferiorHumanOrg: alright, any idea how to do that?
[20:52] <greg606> on 12.04 with ati I get "the desktop cannot be created becaause area is too large" how can I fix it?
[20:52] <InferiorHumanOrg> rfictus: when your pc boots hold shift to enter the grub menu, then go to other linux versions and select the old kernel to boor.
[20:52] <InferiorHumanOrg> boot*
[20:53] <rfictus> InferiorHumanOrg:  alright thanks, will try that, brb
[20:53] <InferiorHumanOrg> if it works in 23. then 24 is broken for you as well.
[20:53] <AbeFM> yep. wubi
[20:53] <rfictus> what is the terminal code to shutdown and restart but first close all programs
[20:53] <rfictus> ??
[20:53] <InferiorHumanOrg> sudo shutdown -r now
[20:53] <sirriffsalot_> rfictus: sudo shutdown -r now
[20:53] <sirriffsalot_> :P
[20:54] <rfictus> InferiorHumanOrg:  that restarts in a brute force way
[20:54] <Daekdroom> sudo restart also works
[20:54] <rfictus>  I want it to close the running programs first
[20:54] <AbeFM> Monkey: Will look for that. Is there an easy way to disable it without removing everything? I DO want to give 12.04 a chance, but I've spent ~2 hours to get ~10 mouse clicks in.
[20:54] <sirriffsalot_> Is there no one aware of any software for ubuntu users that adequately lowers the pitch of the guitar signals coming in??
[20:54] <InferiorHumanOrg> rfictus: um idk then? that doesn't brute force.. it stops all the system services etc. just save / close anything your working on and do it that will be fine ...
[20:55] <dabeast_> What do I want the output of "rfkill list" to be? Both "no" for soft and hard block?
[20:55] <InferiorHumanOrg> dabeast_: yea
[20:55] <rfictus> k thanks ppl, booting to kernel 23
[20:55] <stantonwarrior> Hi, can anyone explain to me how do a fresh install when Ubuntu doesn't seem to have the right driver for your video card? I'm trying to install on a machine with a Radeon 6670 card and the screen is just filled with gibberish.
[20:55] <Buduk> the program 'ac' in the package acct is supposed to report the number of hours a user has been connected, however, ac -p <user> is reporting currently 3.11 hours for a user account that was created 1 hour and 40 minutes ago. anyone have a clue whats up with that ?
[20:55] <AbeFM> That's going around Stanton
[20:56] <InferiorHumanOrg> stantonwarrior: you will need to do a manual driver install then maybe? like from here
[20:56] <InferiorHumanOrg> !ati | stanton
[20:56] <smw> stantonwarrior, the alternative install cd should work
[20:56] <dabeast_> InferiorHumanOrg: lshw -C network shows wireless as "*-network DISABLED
[20:56] <AbeFM> I've already seen it with a few people, and once I got things working, it got so slow I can't use it
[20:56] <smw> stantonwarrior, then you can use jockey-cli to see if you can install the driver
[20:56] <three18ti> how would you image a partition?  I'm trying to backup a partition on my laptop so I pulled the drive put it in an external usb chassis, and was running dd, but it kept crashing so I used ddrescue and it was able to fix errors, but now it's running at 3M/s (was 30 M/s earlier).
[20:56] <dabeast_> InferiorHumanOrg: How can I fix this?
[20:57] <smw> stantonwarrior, warning. getting your video card to work could require the cli
[20:57] <mouth1> hi i have a problem. sometimes my system freezes up, the desktop gets black, then you can see it again but can't control the mouse and unity 3d elements are missing sometimes. what can that be? it occurs randomly
[20:57] <InferiorHumanOrg> dabeast_: hrm. i'm not sure then, have you tried bringing the interface up manually like. sudo ifup wlan0
[20:57] <stantonwarrior> OK, will give that a shot thanks.
[20:57] <smw> stantonwarrior, although, you can also use kernel cheatcodes to change to the vesa driver
[20:57] <smw> stantonwarrior, I can not for the life of me remember how to do that though
[20:58] <smw> stantonwarrior, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[20:58] <b^j> three18ti: if there are disk errors that will happen, and the only thing you can do is adjust the retries
[20:58] <rbnielsen> mouth1, does that happen when the screen goes black, and after you've "woken it up" again?
[20:58] <dabeast_> InferiorHumanOrg: ifconfig shows wlan0 as up.
[20:59] <mouth1> rbnielsen, no it's during usage
[20:59] <mouth1> i was surfing the web rbnielsen
[20:59] <rbnielsen> Ah okay.. Just wondering..
[20:59] <rfictus> Hi, the microphone problem is working now. MonkeyDust & InferiorHumanOrg
[20:59] <mouth1> then the mouse got stuck, then the screen turned black, then you could see the screen again with missing unity 3d elements
[20:59] <rfictus> InferiorHumanOrg: back on kernel 17, only one I have
[20:59] <Tigerboy> I dropped my ubuntu and broke the kernel
[21:00] <three18ti> b^j so using a tool like clonezilla wouldn't necessarily make a difference as far as replication speed is concerned?  (As I understand it they use different replication methods, dd being a block copy which is slower and clonezill which doesn't...)
[21:00] <rfictus> InferiorHumanOrg: anyway to copy current kernel setting to kernel 24??
[21:00] <fayimora> please what is the command to se the amount of space left on my hard drive via the terminal?
[21:00] <finish06> I am adding some UUIDs to my fstab for auto-mount, where should I mount them too so they show up in the unity launcher bar?
[21:00] <AbeFM> mouth: My screen acts all goofy and the mouse gets stuck, but pretty sure it's all unity stuff. If I could turn it off it might be uusable
[21:00] <Bsims> fayimora:  df -h
[21:00] <guntbert> fayimora: df -h
[21:01] <fayimora> Thanks guys
[21:01] <b^j> three18ti: yes, but if you are getting read errors that may not work, you can give it a shot and it will be a lot faster if it works
[21:01] <Bsims> or du -h or di -h depending on what exactly you want to know
[21:01] <minimec> finish06: I think /media should do.
[21:01] <rbnielsen> I've been experiencing that the gui doesn't react when i wake it after the black screensaver. It helps by switching to a terminal and then back to where the gui is.
[21:02] <mouth1> how do you do that rbnielsen ?
[21:02] <finish06> minimec, so if the drive name was AwesomeVideos, would I write "/media/AwesomeVideos" or would I write "/media?"
[21:02] <stantonwarrior> OK guys, am off to create an alternate install CD... bye 4 now
[21:02] <ApocGoD> Can I get some help? Running Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome 3. Getting the error :error: no such device: 76e5d1b1-1fdc47bb-97fe-660dc407d99f grub rescue on startup
[21:02] <rbnielsen> ctrl+alt+f1 and ctrl+alt+f7
[21:02] <Bsims> ApocGoD:  Ouch sounds like grub didn't get written
[21:02] <mouth1> thanks
[21:03] <rbnielsen> My gui usually lies at f7
[21:03] <minimec> finish06: There is a /media folder in the '/' folder. so /media/AwesomeVideos. With fstab you would also define accesslevel.
[21:03] <finish06> minimec, this is what I have -->  UUID=08867eef-0dd6-4c51-a223-4d86ff571350	/media/MediaTwo		ext4	user,auto	0	0
[21:03] <rbnielsen> I'm not sure it helps your problem, mouth1
[21:03] <eph3meral> hmm, so I just configured GDM to be an XDMCP server, it works handily... now I would prefer to use XDM because it's so much more lightweight
[21:03] <eph3meral> but I haven't been able to get XDM configured properly
[21:03] <mouth1> yeah rbnielsen
[21:03] <Slartibart> Anyone here tried compiling the plugins package for cairodock? Managed to build with alsa mixer applet? I get "package 'alsa' not found", but no matter what package I try the message is still the same(12.04).
[21:03] <eph3meral> I've got * in my Xaccess file(s)
[21:03] <ApocGoD> Bsims, it was working fine a few moments ago. I shut down the computer and took out my secondary hard drive.
[21:04] <eph3meral> do I need something else? this seems to be basically the only setting that seems relevant in all the documentation that I've read
[21:04] <ApocGoD> That probably has something to do with it, any idea how to fix it?
[21:04] <negro_> alguien en español
[21:04] <Daekdroom> !es | negro_
[21:04] <Bsims> ApocGoD: look at /etc/fstab
[21:04] <ApocGoD> I can't get into Ubuntu at all, i'm on a secondary computer right now.
[21:04] <minimec> finish06: Ok. That should do I guess.
[21:05] <Bsims> ApocGoD: Sorry I'm upgrading my windows drive or I'd drill down and tell you specificaly what to exit
[21:05] <Bsims> ApocGoD: wierd sounds like your install was on the drive you removed
[21:05] <finish06> minimec, guesS?  ok, I will give it a try... let me see what happens :)
[21:05] <finish06> brb
[21:05] <ApocGoD> It's not, it's on the primary drive.
[21:06] <three18ti> b^j, ok thanks.  since I've gotten past the bad sectors and I'm more than 1/2 way through I think I'll let the ddrescue continue for now...  keep your fingers crossed for me :)
[21:06] <ersoy> Hello, upgrade 12.04 and I can not open ubuntu
[21:06] <youdy> sup my babies, what is up my babies
[21:06] <ApocGoD> I really hope I dont have to install Ubuntu..
[21:06] <ersoy> how can i fix my ubuntu
[21:07] <Bsims> ApocGoD: Hrm try booting off a livecd... maybe just as simple as rerunning grub
[21:07] <three18ti> b^j, novel idea...: what if I fsck'd the partition?  ... still I think I'll let this continue for now.
[21:07] <HoNgOuRu> I have problems login in with my regular user, lightdm restarts on correct user password. if I remove ~/.Xauthority from another shell then it will login successfully, any ideas on what could be causing this?
[21:07] <Slartibart> ersoy: What does  "can not open ubuntu" mean?
[21:08] <ersoy> Select grub ubuntu, blank and black screen
[21:08] <ApocGoD> Bsims, thanks. Will try that first.
[21:08] <MonkeyDust> !details| Slartibart
[21:08] <rfictus> how do I migrate kernel 17 to 24 ??
[21:09] <rfrittmann_> #ubuntu-server
[21:09] <NotJimCarrey> can someone help me with "Couldn't configure pre-depend libdb5.1 for libpam-modules" when i try to upgrade to 12
[21:09] <rfrittmann_> oops, sorry about that
[21:09] <ersoy> MonkeyDust, I dont know problem, I know only upgrade 11.10 to 12.04, and I can not open/start ubuntu !
[21:09] <b^j> three18ti: if there are physical issues ddrescue is probably your best bet to get data back, i don't think fsck is the greatest at recovering data from bad blocks
[21:10] <MonkeyDust> ersoy  did you get the grub menu?
[21:11] <three18ti> b^j, the strange thing is the os boots on that partition...
[21:11] <graft> hi, why the heck is firefox defaulting to adobe reader 9? i mean i didn't even voluntarily install that thing
[21:11] <abs> HEY! If I have win7 and ubuntu dual-boot, can I access my win7 stuff when on ubuntu? How? e.g., can you give me an absolute path I can copy&paste which will let me access my C: drive?
[21:11] <b^j> three18ti: there might not be data or important data in the bad sectors
[21:12] <three18ti> b^j, actually, to clarify, though it's /dev/sdX3 it's my primary partition.
[21:12] <damo> howye lads
[21:12] <youdy> abs: mount your windows parition. and enjoy yourself.
[21:12] <AVP> how do i install 12.04 on my computer?
[21:12] <jwrigley> Cheers, running 12.04 with gnome-shell, but autostart applications don't autostart, anyone have any idea how to fix that?
[21:13] <youdy> AVP: with the dvd ;D
[21:13] <ersoy> MonkeyDust, I dont remember, ubuntu Kernel x.x.x and windows Xp
[21:13] <MonkeyDust> abs  use sudo fdisk -l to see on which partition your win7 is installed - mount that partition in ubuntu - usually, win is installed on /dev/sda1
[21:13] <Bsims> abs: may have to install the ntfs package but I do it all the time
[21:13] <AVP> youdy: i don't know i download the ios and don't know what to do after that
[21:14] <MonkeyDust> ersoy  what do you mean you don't remember, what system are you in now?
[21:14] <abs> ok /dev/sda1   *          63   163830869    81915403+   7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
[21:14] <abs> thatś probably it. How do I mount it?
[21:14] <Bsims> abs: also download http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ will let you copy files from Linux to windows
[21:14] <ersoy> MonkeyDust, Oh I am sorry, Windows XP
[21:14] <youdy> abs: mount /dev/to/disk /path/to/mountpoint
[21:14] <ersoy> MonkeyDust, I can not open/start my ubuntu
[21:14] <MonkeyDust> abs  create a folder with an easy name, then type sudo mount /dev/sda1 [that name]
[21:15] <abs> Bsims: is there any particular reason to do that? Frankly the only reason I wanted to access it was... to play the music Iǘe got on my win7 partitions!
[21:15] <Bsims> abs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[21:15] <MonkeyDust> !grub| ersoy
[21:15] <abs> youdy: ok thanks -- should I be root when doing that? or rather, whatś the preferred way? mount when root or not root?
[21:15] <ersoy> !kernel
[21:15] <Bsims> abs: lol I do it because I don't trust windows not to eat my Linux FS where my music/movies are installed
[21:15] <greg606> anyone having problems with 12.04 and ati dual screeens?
[21:15] <bbbbbbbb> I just muted my sound, when I tried to unmute nothing comes out of the speakers. how do I fix this?
[21:16]  * youdy lix MonkeyDust
[21:16] <Slartibart> I get http://pastebin.com/vDBHkbwt from cmake when I try to build the plugins package for cairodock. No matter what I try - so far - I haven't succeeded in removing the "package 'alsa' not found" message. alsamixergui, etc... Does anyone know what package is required here?
[21:16] <krababbel> abs: windows partition should be available automatically in /media
[21:17] <greg606> I get the error: "The desktop cannot be created because the area is too large"
[21:17] <Slartibart> https://lists.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-team/msg03258.html (search for ALSA_MIXER) shows the script code, but there's no package name in there that I can find(ubuntu 12.04)
[21:17] <ersoy> MonkeyDust, I am sorry: I have got a one hdd, ubuntu and windows xp. I see update manager new ubuntu version and I updated 12.04, reboot pc I can not use/open/start ubuntu. blank and black screen. I use only windows xp.
[21:18] <jwrigley> does anyone else running 12.04 and gnome-shell, have trouble with autostart applications not starting?
[21:18]  * Bsims is running last version out of lazyness
[21:18] <mouth1> do intel hd graphics run better than radeon HD?
[21:19] <mouth1> are intel drivers better than ati drivers?
[21:19] <finish06> hey minimec ... so I entered that stuff into my fstab as we discussed, and this is what I get ...
[21:19] <finish06> http://imgur.com/3UPWF
[21:19]  * jwrigley is running an older version of lazyness, installing the newer version was too much work.
[21:19] <MonkeyDust> mouth1  define "better"?
[21:20] <mouth1> MonkeyDust, more stable, no x server freezes, better 3d
[21:20] <minimec> mouth1: If you think about a new computer... Looks like the new Ivy bridge that intel is launching, is very competitive on linux.
[21:20] <finish06> so it does auto mount the mediaone drive, but it adds another ugly mediaone drive icon, that "doesn't exist" ....
[21:20] <Aikar> how can i make compiz stop using so much cpu?
[21:20] <Bsims> mouth1: they are stable, but intel graphics are low-to midrange at best
[21:20] <eph3meral> nvidia > intel > ati/amd
[21:20] <MonkeyDust> mouth1  i have intel video, works smoothly, but then, i don't use 3d or eye candy
[21:21] <mouth1> minimec, no. i have a i3 550 cpu which should have an intel hd graphics on it. i expereience random system freezes and maybe its because of the x server with open source ati drivers for my hd6850?
[21:21] <bbbbbbbb> I just muted my sound, when I tried to unmute nothing comes out of the speakers. how do I fix this?
[21:21] <eph3meral> mouth1, quite likely, ATI sucks
[21:21] <mouth1> what do i do now eph3meral :(
[21:21] <mouth1> it didn't happen with 11.10
[21:21] <djp> So.. I managed to get a root terminal up from recovery mode, and then had to get a legacy keyboard, because the USB sub-system is not woking.. from here I want to resume the upgrade problem.. but guess what? no networking! no eth0.. sould I have started recovery mode with a switch to enable networking (sigh) ?
[21:21] <mouth1> and happens mostly when i'm webbrowsing eph3meral
[21:21] <jwrigley> bbbbbbbb: have you tried to up the sound? sometimes unmute won't work for me, but if I just up the sound, it still works
[21:22] <Bsims> I'd have to agree with eph3meral... Nvidia is a closed blob, but their hardware is fast, and the drivers are stable. Intel is quite enough for light to mid gamers, the drivers work and are GPLed... ATI is fast but the drivers are crap on any OS
[21:22] <bbbbbbbb> jwrigley: yeah, does nothing.
[21:22] <MonkeyDust> ah, gamers...
[21:22] <Ben64> I'm on 10.04, and my desktop theme keeps resetting to some really old looking one, and this is in dmesg - [16808.730780] gnome-settings-[2547]: segfault at 13d3540 ip 00007f4eb9d53f70 sp 00007fff0ea187c0 error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[7f4eb9d23000+17a000]
[21:22] <Bsims> mouth1: yeah that sounds about right
[21:22] <mouth1> Bsims, how do you mean?
[21:22] <jwrigley> bbbbbbbb: try "sudo service pulseaudio restart"
[21:23] <Bsims> ATI for the past 15 odd years I've been building computers, make great hardware but can't write a working driver to save their souls
[21:23] <bbbbbbbb> jwrigley: I removed pulseaudio, because it made something crash.
[21:23] <lyscer> every time I run "hostname -f" I get the following error: hostname: Name or service not known
[21:23] <lyscer> I looked it up and google and tried to follow suggestions, but am still getting the error
[21:23] <jwrigley> bbbbbbbb: when did you do this, before or after the silence?
[21:23] <Bsims> mouth1: go with intel or if you game on windows Nvidia... though intel will work for most steam games
[21:23] <mouth1> Bsims, you mean my freezes are x server freezes because of the ati drivers?
[21:23] <minimec> mouth1: Oh it's one og that Intel/ati combo. I disabled the ATI/AMD GPU on the laptop of my mother. It was heating the laptop and not even running...
[21:23] <Bsims> mouth1: I'd bet on it
[21:24] <bbbbbbbb> jwrigley: before. it worked just fine afterwards, then once i muted it and no sound since
[21:24] <mouth1> can i disable the ati gpu and use the i3 550 gpu?
[21:24] <minimec> mouth1: The internal intel gpu runs fair enough for daily use.
[21:24] <Bsims> mouth1: yup do it in bios
[21:24] <minimec> finish06: Can you mount the drive Media Two normally?
[21:25] <finish06> as in just click on the icon and it mounts?  Yep :)
[21:25] <Bsims> minimec: hell had no problems with left for dead 2 or TF2 with intel
[21:25] <mouth1> Bsims, can you tell me what i have to do please?
[21:25] <mouth1> is there a setting for it?
[21:25] <finish06> but I have to click :(  that is the crappy part minimec
[21:25] <mouth1> i have a gigabyte mainboard
[21:25] <johnzorn> whats the best way to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04?
[21:25] <bastidrazor> !upgrade | johnzorn by reading this.
[21:25] <Bsims> mouth1: enable the built in graphics card in BIOS and plug in your monitor to the motherboard graphics port vs the one for the video card
[21:26] <pyboy> johnzorn:update manager is the best
[21:26] <jwrigley> bbbbbbbb: probably you should install it again then...
[21:26] <eph3meral> mouth1, what do you do now? I would suggest going back to 11.10
[21:26] <eph3meral> mouth1, I would also suggest selling your computer and getting nvidia :P
[21:26] <MHz128> How can I configure a keyboard shortcut to switch the video output to HDMI from VGA?
[21:27] <eph3meral> but I know that's not a particularly helpful suggestion for most people
[21:27] <mouth1> eph3meral, yeah
[21:27] <mouth1> Bsims, eph3meral: will ubuntu load the right drivers right away and disable the ati gpu?
[21:27] <mouth1> or do i have to unplug the gpu?
[21:28] <bbbbbbbb> jwrigley: okay, i'll try
[21:28] <Bsims> mouth1: should do it on its own
[21:28] <Bsims> if not you can switch back
[21:28] <minimec> finish06: well that is acceptable, isn't it. there is certainly an option to mount it on boot in fstab. I don't it, but I am sure that that should exist... ;)
[21:28] <mouth1> ok i try
[21:28] <mouth1> thanks
[21:28] <NotJimCarrey> can someone help me with "Couldn't configure pre-depend libdb5.1 for libpam-modules" when i try to upgrade to 12
[21:28] <grkblood> in 12.04 im having an issue with dual monitors where i have a launcher come up on both monitors. how do i make the launcher only come up on the primary monitor?
[21:29] <finish06> minimec, Yeah, fstab does mount it, however I was just curious as to why it should the second icon...  that was the "hmm" moment...
[21:29] <minimec> Bsims: Well it's a intel GMA HD (westmere bridge). They run fair, but not as good as the sandy bridge ones...
[21:29] <vexus> does someone know if the bugs from beta2 with nvidia are fixed for the release?
[21:30] <newbie_ubuntu> i just install my ubuntu 12.04, but now my screen blank, i am using laptop acer aspire 4376, pls help me
[21:30] <Bsims> johnzorn: I've never gotten the gui upgrade to work right... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades and do the server upgrade
[21:30] <pyboy> johnzorn:if you want to do it from the terminal just type  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:30] <Bsims> johnzorn: works everytime
[21:31] <auronandace> vexus: thats rather vague, i'm using 12.04 with nvidia just fine
[21:32] <endra> I want to backup using the built-in backup app and a LANd server over SSH. It seems to find/upload successfully but everything then fails saying: Backup Failed: The specified location is not mounted
[21:32] <newbie_ubuntu> anyone can help me? my screen blank after installing ubuntu 12.04
[21:32] <auronandace> !nomodeset | newbie_ubuntu
[21:33] <Bsims> minimec: heh I love my current box... Intel Core i5 cpu gen2 sandy bridge 2500K, Intel BOXDH67BLB3 MB, two 1tb WD caviar blacks, and 8 gigs of ram
[21:33] <vexus> i have an dv5 from 2009 with 9600m gt it works till some updates made the system crash after 30 mins of usings it i am not shure to use the nvidia or stick with nouveau, espacialy hon never works on this system
[21:33] <Bsims> vexus: are you a GPL zelot?
[21:34] <djp> So.. I managed to get a root terminal up from recovery mode, and then had to get a legacy keyboard, because the USB sub-system is not woking.. from here I want to resume the upgrade problem.. but guess what? no networking! no eth0.. sould I have started recovery mode with a switch to enable networking (sigh) ?
[21:34] <Bsims> the nvida drivers work... as well as the windows drivers. I'd recommend them to everyone who isn't a hardliner on the GPL
[21:34] <vexus> no i just do not like systemfreeze after 30 mins working i like the nvidia blop but i think they used the not workung 295.40 at beta and that is not good anyway
[21:34] <Bsims> yeah its a closed source blob
[21:35] <Bsims> vexus: you can downgrade ya know
[21:35] <krababbel> djp up the network yourself if there is no switch?
[21:35] <cdcoulon> can anyone help? having a difficult time configuring wpa2 connect on a USB device - it has worked previously
[21:35] <Bsims> /var/cache/apt... something or the other
[21:35] <vexus> Bsims: with the normal repo or over ppa?
[21:36] <krababbel> djp: can you do that?
[21:36] <djp> krababbel: whatever do you mean, like a comman-line switch?
[21:36] <djp> i tried ifconfig up weh0
[21:36] <djp> eth0
[21:36] <Bsims> vexus: heh via dpkg
[21:37] <krababbel> djp: what does 'ip addr' say/
[21:37] <minimec> Bsims: Well the intel i's 2nd/3rd gen seem to run smoothly on Linux. Love my i3/hd3000 lenovo x121e too.
[21:37] <L3top> ifconfig eth0 up
[21:37] <vadi2> Has anyone else had success with enabling the 'unredirect fullscreen windows' in 12.04 on nvidia?
[21:37] <brontosaurusrex> how would i make a "locate" database for an external usb drive? (or any location)
[21:37] <Bsims> minimec: heh got a usefull flag on my review... said it worked perfectly out of the box for both windows 7 and ubuntu last version
[21:37] <djp> and /etc/init.d/networking restart, and I tried start networking and I tried /etc/init.d network-manager restrt
[21:37] <krababbel> djp: does eth0 show an ip4 address?
[21:37] <L3top> can you be clearer brontosaurusrex?
[21:37] <djp> there is no eth0
[21:38] <ApocGoD> Can I get some help? Ubuntu 11.10, Gnome 3. Getting a Grub Rescue error when I take out my secondary hard drive. Can someone help me figure out how to transfer or mod whatever file I need to so that I can remove my second hard drive and not have to reinstall Ubuntu on my primary?
[21:38] <djp> central to the problem (sub-problem)
[21:38] <krababbel> djp: 'ip link' , is it ther?
[21:38] <bbbbbbbb> jwrigley: I have reinstalled pulseaudio, how do I get the panel icon etc back?
[21:38] <djp> nope, nothing but loopback
[21:38] <Bsims> bbbbbbbb: worst case... do you run kde or gnome or unity?
[21:38] <brontosaurusrex> L3top: i'am trying to figure out if i can search for files on disconnected devices
[21:39] <bbbbbbbb> Bsims: gnome
[21:39] <L3top> djp cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[21:39] <polandeer> Hello, I was wondering if I could use hostnames without the .local at the end.
[21:39] <L3top> Is there an eth0 in there djp?
[21:39] <polandeer> (Especially for ping or ssh)
[21:39] <vexus> Bsims: dpkg is only the packet manager but where you mean are the packages from canonical,nvidia or any other ppa or so
[21:39] <Bsims> delete the .file for gnome it will make you redo any customastions you did
[21:39] <L3top> oh... brontosaurusrex... just a file list?
[21:39] <cdcoulon> using wpa_supplicant getting : ctrl-iface bind (PF_UNIX) failed: address already in use
[21:40] <L3top> brontosaurusrex: not the files themselves?
[21:40] <Bsims> vexus: any thing you apt-got is in var/cache/apt/ something... I'm in windows or I'd tell ya directly
[21:40] <NedMan74> got 12.04 yesterday... was left without wi fi .. got some help yesterday but wasnt able to fix problem... any ideas please??
[21:41] <polandeer> Meaning if my hostname is ubuntu-desktop then how can I use it without putting ubuntu-desktop.local
[21:41] <usr13> ApocGoD: We'd need to know more about your system in order to be able to offer specific advise.
[21:41] <ApocGoD> @usr13 What do you need to know?
[21:42] <djp> L3top: -net rules look.. well.. ok, end in NAME="eth0"
[21:43] <L3top> djp: type route -n
[21:43] <brontosaurusrex> L3top: whatever is stored in locate databases, hopefully a bunch of things
[21:43] <rfrittmann_> hey all, anybody know why Ubuntu 12.04 Software Centre reports all installs as failed, but the installs all actually succeed?
[21:43] <brontosaurusrex> L3top: including file-comments of some sort
[21:43] <djp> route -n is prett bleak; lebels but no values
[21:43] <krababbel> djp since ip link gave nothing you have to add it. Try ip link add link eth0
[21:43] <Keo-w> any tweaks that i should do when running ubuntu 10.04 on esxi 5 (besides the vm tools)
[21:44] <trek201> will ubuntu still work if i change motherboards?
[21:44] <Bsims> trek201: yeah it should autodetect everything on its own
[21:44] <ThePendulum> trek201: Yes, it will. That's one of the great things of Ubuntu in comparison with Windows
[21:44] <FredFuchs> So 12.04 (thats installed to my HD). Has broken and I can't boot into it. I'm wanting to browse the it's partition so I can access my files so I can back them up elsewhere. I've booted into 12.04 on a USB and upon opening the installed 12.04's partition this is what I see http://www.fayp.com/vi-FOGd3M.png
[21:44] <trek201> ah nice
[21:45] <djp> krababbel: "Not ernough informantion; "type" argument required
[21:45] <usr13> ApocGoD: What exactly is on primary and what is on slave drive?  Did you install grub to the MBR of the Master Drive?  How do you have the hard drive(s) partitioned?  Why are you removing one of the drives?   Are they SATA or IDE?  etc. etc..
[21:45] <Bsims> trek201: it will work perfectly, or at least tell you where and why it broke...
[21:45] <trek201> thinking of changing over from a sempron to an i3...hopefully will go smooth
[21:45] <Bsims> trek201: went from amd very old to brand new intel MB/cpu booted off the new hd and it all worked
[21:46] <Bsims> trek201: amd to intel
[21:46] <ApocGoD> @usr13 Not sure where I installed Grub to, primary drive is tripe partitioned, secondary is triple partitioned, both are SATA, the secondary drive is going back into its own pc.
[21:46] <L3top> djp add the following lines to your /etc/network/interfaces file: auto eth0                 and: iface eth0 inet dhcp                            then /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:46] <Bsims> from a dedicated nvida video card to built in intel and it Just Worked
[21:47] <L3top> I don't know about that brontosaurusrex, but it is an interesting idea. I will have to think about it.
[21:47] <ApocGoD> @user13 Would it be better to just copy important files and then wipe the primary drive and start over?
[21:47] <usr13> !grub | ApocGoD
[21:47] <trek201> nice
[21:47] <Bsims> that said... back up your /home/username first
[21:48] <trek201> i think ill do the conversion, soon as i pick up an 1155 board that supports pata
[21:48] <Bsims> restored everything in /home because I didn't make it its own partition... had my own desktop picture et all
[21:48] <NedMan74> got disconnected.....  got 12.04 yesterday... was left without wi fi .. got some help yesterday but wasnt able to fix problem... any ideas please??
[21:48] <djp> L3top: ok, now what, restart network?
[21:48] <L3top> yes... /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:48] <usr13> ApocGoD: That is a decision you would need to make, based on how much work you have into the configuation of the system in its' present state and how pleased you are with it at this point ... and how much more do you have to do to get it like you want it.
[21:48] <Bsims> trek201: on Linux each users config is under /home... assuming it will read the old config files... its still there
[21:48] <djp> oh. sorry you gave that instruction ;-)
[21:49] <L3top> sudo if you aren't root djp
[21:49] <djp> L3top: "ignoring unknown interfaces eth0=eth0
[21:49] <bargash> hi
[21:49] <djp> L3top: i'm root
[21:49] <sirffreddirocco> hi guys, i've an acer aspire with i3 intel sandy bridges. Is 3d acceleration working with intel drivers?
[21:49] <L3top> pastebinit /etc/networking/interfaces
[21:50] <user82> hi. does anybody know if i can add banshee/rythmbox to the HUD so i can find my tracks easily?
[21:50]  * Bsims forgot to make /home a seperate partion... so I had to restore from my backups
[21:50] <djp> easier said than done :-)
[21:50] <L3top> oh
[21:50] <L3top> lol
[21:50] <ApocGoD> @usr13 I enjoy Ubuntu and I would be reinstalling and upgrading to 12.04 if I did this. I may just go ahead and do that.
[21:50] <Bsims> heh rsync is your friend
[21:50] <bargash> when i do upgrade from 11.10 to 12.10 not completely i cant manage the desktop, plz how can i recover it or what is the solution
[21:50] <FredFuchs> So I'm trying to recover my files from my 12.04 ubuntu installation. I cannot boot into it. I tried booting into 12.04 from USB and browsing the installed ubuntu's partition and this is what I see http://www.fayp.com/vi-FOGd3M.png
[21:50] <minimec> sirffreddirocco: Working quiet good.
[21:50] <djp> L3top: the interfaces file was missing eth0..
[21:51] <ApocGoD> @usr13 Thanks for your help, will go ahead and start backing up important files.
[21:51] <L3top> one second... I will make a dummy file for you to compare against.
[21:51] <djp> ok
[21:51] <ei2matrix> gente, necesito poner la funcion de copiar en la tecla F9, con gconfig no puedo porque solo me permite bindear un comando y no una combinacion de teclas Ctrl+c
[21:51] <djp> I'm working from my laptop next the borked box
[21:51] <sirffreddirocco> minimec, so installing precise unity 3d should works out of the box?
[21:51] <usr13> ApocGoD: Having a fresh install of 12.04 souds pretty good.
[21:51]  * Bsims prices a 2tb usb drive
[21:51]  * Bsims needs to upgrade local backup media
[21:52] <bargash> can anyone help me plz
[21:52] <Bsims> then I can use the 1tb one for my sideline buisness
[21:52] <minimec> sirffreddirocco: the sandy bridge is running smoothly. I have a i3/HD3000 laptop too. Loving it. I use the following powersave options ... /etc/default/grub: i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 pcie_aspm=force
[21:52] <glaci> Hello! Anyone here with working ati (radeon hd 4250) driver on 12.04?
[21:52] <IdleOne> Bsims: off topic comments in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[21:52] <minimec> sirffreddirocco: If you add the options in default_grub, do sudo update-grub afterwards.
[21:53] <bargash> plz help when i do upgrade from 11.10 to 12.10 not completely i cant manage the desktop, plz how can i recover it or what is the solution
[21:53] <sirffreddirocco> minimec, ok, thank you
[21:53] <djp> L3top: might I have missed the "enable networking" part of the recovery mode?
[21:53] <bcuraboy> are there any minimun requisits for ubuntu 12.04?
[21:54] <L3top> djp: it should look like this http://pastebin.com/PH22xcwR
[21:54] <jfreak53> Maybe not UBU but Unity kind of
[21:54] <minimec> sirffreddirocco: There are multiple articles about that power problem... this is just one of them ... http://danielj.se/2011/11/16/how-to-fix-powerbattery-problem-with-linux-kernel-3-x-on-ubuntu-11-10/
[21:54] <krababbel> djp: maybe the drivers are not loaded yes
[21:54] <L3top>  djp I came in late... I didn't know you were in recovery... but I wouldn't expect that to be the issue.
[21:54] <sirffreddirocco> minimec, problem are only power releated, right?
[21:55] <sirffreddirocco> no problem with 3d
[21:55] <minimec> sirffreddirocco: Yeah. The GPU is running out of the box.
[21:55] <finish06> The default spot for windows to open on my ubuntu 12.04 is in the top left right under the menu bar... anyway I can change it?  it is a pain
[21:55] <newbie_ubuntu> why its often blank screen in installing ubuntu?
[21:55] <krababbel> L3top: I tried to delete eth0 on a test box and couldn't. So it's weird that ip link doesn't show eth0 at all.
[21:55] <sirffreddirocco> minimec, ok
[21:55] <krababbel> what do i know
[21:56] <djp> L3top: I added the lase line, and now the error message say Cannot find device "eth0"
[21:57] <adek05> I have VM image with lucid, but lucid doesn't have libevent2(only 1.4.*). Now, what should I do to get this new packages? Should I upgrade to ocelit? If so, what is the safest way to do it from up-to-date lucid to ocelit
[21:57] <L3top> djp: weird...  echo > /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules             and reboot
[21:57] <jfreak53> newbie_ubuntu: Use Alt Installer instead
[21:57] <L3top> that will overwrite your rules file with nothing for the record djp
[21:57] <L3top> when you reboot it will regenerate itself djp
[21:57] <djp> L3top: where am I echoing that to.. ?
[21:58] <krababbel> etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[21:58] <L3top> you are echoing NOTHING to the persistent rules file.
[21:58] <L3top> echo > /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[21:59]  * L3top uses echo > to blank files quite a bit
[21:59] <djp> hmmm I'm confused by the proposed command.. wouldn't that command overwrite the file with nul?
[21:59] <djp> oh.. that's the intent
[21:59] <djp> :)
[21:59] <djp> I think I'll just rename it, yes?
[22:00] <daniel> I have a question about getting my wireless chip to work. I am using an HP Mini 1030NR with Ubuntu 12.04 desktop installed. My ethernet works just fine, but my wireless is "disabled by hardware switch" - wireless chip is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)
[22:00] <L3top> sure... not necessary but always good practice djp
[22:00] <daniel> I have been searching for a solution for a few hours and thought maybe one of yall had seen a problem similar to this before
[22:01] <adek05> daniel: have you got a switch to turn on/off wireless?
[22:01] <L3top> well... you want it to be there, and empty... so not rename exactly, but you could cp it to a backup file djp. If you rename it and create it again you must check that the permissions etc are teh same... this is why I use it. It is an easy way to make an empty version of anything.
[22:02] <ulkesh> hey has anyone successfully gotten PlayOnLinux to store files on a different drive?  I run Ubuntu on an SSD and don't want Wine/etc storing files on it (I have a normal SATA drive for that)...should I simply install/configure Wine and not try to use PlayOnLinux?
[22:02] <ulkesh> (sorry if that's technically not a ubuntu-specific question)
