[15:00] <miles_> Hello
[15:00] <EliahKagan> @fasta sorry of you already said this, but what release of Ubuntu are you running?
[15:00] <bazhang> !clone | sharp15
[15:00] <fasta> EliahKagan: Precise
[15:01] <miles_> Issue: since a power failure while the computer was running, X can't start anymore on my machine
[15:01] <miles_> What can I do?
[15:01] <bazhang> sharp15, or use aptoncd if the arch is the same
[15:01] <bazhang> !aptoncd | sharp15
[15:02] <EliahKagan> fasta: liblzma2 is no longer provided in Precise :-(
[15:02] <hudnix> Can someone tell me how to get vuze icon to be visible in the panel in gnome?
[15:02] <fasta> EliahKagan: but there are still applications dependent on it.
[15:02] <fasta> EliahKagan: Ubuntu would have known this if they had executed every application at least one.
[15:02] <fasta> EliahKagan: once*
[15:02] <EliahKagan> what applications are giving the errors saying they need liblzma.so.2 ?
[15:02] <elisa> Bonjour!
[15:03] <sharp15> bazhang: i'm not trying to clone.  i have a machine with a bad network card and someone who wants to use it to edit the occaisional word file (no need for the net).
[15:03] <hudnix> After upgrading, whenever I start vuze it is invisible because it starts minimized to the panel.
[15:03] <bazhang> !fr | elisa
[15:03] <fasta> EliahKagan: hmm, I think it was my environment. Never mind.
[15:03] <bazhang> sharp15, aptoncd then perhaps
[15:03] <elisa> Sorry i haven't seen
[15:03] <Shred00> what has to happen to get the upload of changelogs to the changelog server to actually be reliable?
[15:04] <Shred00> where do i file a request/bug about this?
[15:04] <EliahKagan> fasta: yeah, when a project is built on Launchpad, the build should fail if it depends on any shared libraries that are not packaged
[15:04] <y0om4> is there a way to mv over existing files without using copy -Ru because cp -Ru would not do if you have limited space on a hard drive
[15:04] <JeroenDeDauw> Can anyone recommend a good VM to run Windows in when running Ubuntu? Stuff associated with Oracle gets automatically disqualified from being good ofc :)
[15:05] <EliahKagan> JoroenDeDauw: if you're willing to use proprietary software, in my experience VMware tends to outperform VirtualBox considerably
[15:05] <sharp15> bazhang: unfortunately.  this machine is 32bit and every other machine i own is 64bit.
[15:05] <fasta> JeroenDeDauw: I am not aware of anything which qualifies
[15:06] <JeroenDeDauw> :/
[15:06] <fasta> JeroenDeDauw: qemu-kvm does run it, but not with high-end graphics.
[15:06] <EliahKagan> VMware Workstation is proprietary payware but VMware Player is proprietary "freeware" and there are third party tools for creating empty VMs you can start with
[15:06] <EliahKagan> depending on your needs, Xen (which is free open source software) may work as well or better than VMware
[15:07] <EliahKagan> but if you're looking for something like VirtualBox but technically better, IMO VMware Workstation fits the bill
[15:07] <fasta> JeroenDeDauw: virtualbox is GPL.
[15:07] <JeroenDeDauw> EliahKagan: fasta: ok, thnx :)
[15:07] <EliahKagan> @fasta it's an Oracle product though so presumably JeroenDeDauw does not want to use it
[15:07] <escott> fasta, but it has been touched by the oracle demon whose powers extend to destroy licenses... oh wait nevermind they lost to google
[15:08] <Netheril>  Hello
[15:08]  * sandyd go vmware!
[15:08]  * sandyd hides
[15:08] <EliahKagan> from a perspective of staying free though, VirtualBox is FOSS, and VMware is not...
[15:08] <EliahKagan> i'm not trying to dis VMware, i use it regularly, but if you want FOSS then virtualbox is a better call
[15:09] <tattoli_> he wants a vm guys not a software license
[15:09] <EliahKagan> hi Netheril
[15:14] <Star2012> is there a network admin here .. msg me plz
[15:14] <Star2012> network/server person
[15:14] <Netheril> Hi master
[15:15] <hairydog> found the coolest theme ever
[15:15] <hairydog> mac osx lion theme for ubuntu
[15:15] <hairydog> really sweet
[15:15] <mohtadi> hi everyone, i've a question please, i'm building my own kernel to get a custom os, i'm trying to make a 3G key work on it, for that i've to use usb_modeswitch , to switch from mass storage mode to modem mode and get the key on ttyUSB , the problem is that after launching  usb_switchmode, i get nothing on a ttyUSB, apparently it's a kernelconfig problem, does anyone know what should activate, include as a module and deactivate?
[15:15] <amh345> i've been trying to configure a session timeout in sshd_config, but no matter what i do it wont timeout.   here is what i have ClientAliveInterval 3   ClientAliveCountMax 1   is it possible im missing something? i dont see why it wont work.
[15:15] <bazhang> hairydog, avoid it
[15:15] <hairydog> why
[15:15] <hairydog> it's awesome
[15:15] <bazhang> hairydog, it breaks your system , is unsupported
[15:15] <hairydog> already using it and I love it
[15:16] <hairydog> no it doesn't lol
[15:16] <hairydog> I've been using it just fine
[15:16] <Onixs> On average rig, how long would it to backup a 1TB of data on another hd
[15:16] <bazhang> hairydog, thats fine, its unsupported.
[15:16] <hairydog> http://www.noobslab.com/2012/05/mac-os-x-lion-for-ubuntu-1204-precise.html
[15:16] <hairydog> ^ that one?
[15:16] <hairydog> it just uses compiz, ubuntu tweak, and cairo dock
[15:16] <bazhang> hairydog, lets stay on topic for supported issues please
[15:17] <bazhang> Star2012, see your PM
[15:17] <hairydog> bazhang,  are we talking about the same theme at http://www.noobslab.com/2012/05/mac-os-x-lion-for-ubuntu-1204-precise.html
[15:17] <hairydog> ^ that one is unsupported?
[15:17] <cccangel> Hey guys I am having an opengl crash with Ubuntu 12.04 intel drivers.  I have vmware workstation and every time I acheive aero with opengl through driconf, ubuntu freezes completely.  Its there a easy way to get an older/newer driver for intel graphics in ubuntu 12.04?
[15:18] <ZenMaster> I want to upgrade to 12.04 but I am afraid it is going to break stuff.
[15:18] <ZenMaster> :D
[15:19] <cccangel> I know i had this working in Ubuntu 11.10 intel drivers...
[15:20] <Toph2> ZenMaster,,, the 12.04 upgrade is the first in the last 3 that didn't break things for me
[15:20] <hairydog> can I login to my yahoo account on empathy?
[15:21] <escott> hairydog, just select accounts, select yahoo, put the email address and password in
[15:22] <[pq]> hello. I've got some problem having DKMS build nvidia-current kernel module on 3.2.0-24-generic (ubuntu precise). Anyone can help me fix that?
[15:23] <poire21> Hi, my first time here. Can't login to my Ubuntu 12.04 setup, seems to be a problem with video. Thought maybe the update to Xorg...
[15:23] <EliahKagan> ZenMaster: you may want to try 12.04 LTS out on a live CD/DVD or USB flash drive, before upgrading to it
[15:24] <sandyd> poire21: why can't you login? Password not accepting? screen not turning on?
[15:24] <amh345> is there something about my sshd_config question that prevents a response? i only ask because i've posed the question about 6 times in the last 24 hrs. heh
[15:24] <escott> amh345, probably because people dont know
[15:24] <poire21> Screen turns on, but instead of the usuall login screen (with familiar wallpaper) I get a terminal-esque screen stating the name of my computer and asking for my login (username) and then my password
[15:25] <ant0neo> anyone any idea Y I cannot log in 2 youtube on this machine after the latest updates?? I use ubuntu 10.04 LTS my other machine that has'nt been updated yet has'nt got this issue or AM I way off the mark in my consideration HERE??
[15:25] <amh345> escott: hmm. that's possible. i thought it would have been standard fare.
[15:25] <sandyd> poire21: Looks like Xorg died. What video card you using?
[15:25] <amh345> perhaps people dont ssh in very often
[15:25] <hairydog> escott, where do I select accounts at?
[15:26] <EliahKagan> Onixs: transfer rate from one drive to another depends on the drive speed (speed of the interface, drive's rotational speed if it's a traditional disk rather than SSD; and the speed supported by the drive's electronics), as well as the filesystem, whether you're copying a few big files or many smaller files, and whether or not you're using any kind of compression or encryption
[15:26] <escott> hairydog, from the contacts list edit->accounts
[15:26] <sandyd> poire21: you installed any proprietary drivers
[15:26] <jacobpc-8917> H
[15:26] <sandyd> poire21: from the additional drivers (jockey) thingy
[15:26] <EliahKagan> an extremely vague estimate for transfer rate is that it will probably be between 10 MB/s and 30 MB/s
[15:26] <poire21> I have an AMD Radeon 6870 1GB
[15:26] <hairydog> oh ok I found it thank you escott
[15:26] <mohtadi> hi everyone, i've a question please, i'm building my own kernel to get a custom os, i'm trying to make a 3G key work on it, for that i've to use usb_modeswitch , to switch from mass storage mode to modem mode and get the key on ttyUSB , the problem is that after launching  usb_switchmode, i get nothing on a ttyUSB, apparently it's a kernelconfig problem, does anyone know what should activate, include as a module and deactivate?
[15:26] <EliahKagan> could well be much higher with SSD's though or much lower if you back up to a share over a slow network
[15:26] <poire21> Yes I had Catalyst installed from AMD
[15:27] <poire21> I had installed directly from AMD site
[15:27] <sandyd> poire21: ah.
[15:27] <sandyd> poire21: there is the problem.
[15:27] <sandyd> poire21: the one on the site does not rebuild whenever you update to a new kernel.
[15:27] <poire21> worked great, I simply rebooted after an update, which I seem to recall included Xorg
[15:27] <hairydog> saying authentication failed :(
[15:28] <poire21> oh... crappy
[15:28] <EliahKagan> for 1 TB of data, 10 MB/s takes about 28 hours, and 30 MB/s takes about 9 hours
[15:28] <sandyd> poire21: you need to remove the driver you installed, and reconfigure xorg
[15:28] <sandyd> poire21: Ill send you a wiki page on how to do that
[15:28] <poire21> Thank you so much!
[15:29] <Toph2> when I boot, I get the message,'Network Service discovery disabled. Your current network has a local......'. Is this a problem?
[15:30] <sandyd> poire21: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Oneiric_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx
[15:32] <[pq]> hello. I've got some problem having DKMS build nvidia-current kernel module on 3.2.0-24-generic (ubuntu precise). Looks like there is some problem detecting configured headers. Anyone can help me fix that?
[15:32] <poire21> sandyd: so I have not worked in that mode before; should I just type the commands on the terminal-esque screen (after I input my login), or should I go to recovery mode
[15:33] <sandyd> poire21: Their the same
[15:33] <EliahKagan> poire21: you should just be able to run those commands in a Terminal window
[15:33] <EliahKagan> you can even paste them in
[15:33] <unkn-error> hello
[15:33] <EliahKagan> if you don't have a GUI
[15:33] <EliahKagan> then you can run them in a virtual console
[15:33] <unkn-error> I connected to the server with putty and run tasksel
[15:34] <unkn-error> and I have this pink screen http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/main/5/14502210258.jpg
[15:34] <unkn-error> it is normal to be pink?
[15:34] <poire21> sandyd: Thank you so much for your help! Hopefully you won't see me here again in a few minutes ;-)
[15:34] <EliahKagan> unkn-error: yes
[15:34] <sandyd> poire21: your welcome :)
[15:35] <sandyd> I had a LED monitor when that purple screen flashed on. hurt my eyes so badly lol
[15:35] <unkn-error> wierd in tuorial is blue https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel
[15:35] <EliahKagan> if the command-line is pink before or after, that's weird, but it's normal for package management interfaces in Ubuntu that use ncurses to be pink/purple
[15:35] <qubuntu> when i started ubuntu i saw a "could not write byte: broken pipe" lol. should i be worried? :D
[15:36] <EliahKagan> ive seen it both colors in different versions of Ubuntu and other Debian-based OSes
[15:36] <unkn-error> I belived that is because of some putty settings
[15:36] <EliahKagan> that makes sense -- sometimes i work via SSH, and sometimes not
[15:37] <EliahKagan> qbuntu: unless you're having other errors, i wouldn't worry about that -- i've seen that message when first booting up a number of times on different machines, without problems
[15:37] <unkn-error> okay then
[15:39] <Advertising> please help !!!!!!!!!! http://www.kidsmag.ro /// is this real about ubuntu !? VIRUS free or not ?!

[15:47] <pravi> hello
[15:47] <Unknown0BC> Hi, in oneiric when trying to use phpMyAdmin I get : Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
[15:47] <pravi> anyone pls help

[15:48] <jacobpc-8917> !patience
[15:48] <pravi> battery detection problem in toshiba
[15:49] <escott> pravi, there are various acpi options to the kernel you can try
[15:49] <pravi> tried someone but not successful
[15:50] <pravi> anyone have any idea
[15:50] <mneptok> pravi: LiveCD of another distro will tell you if this is a general kernel issue with that laptop.
[15:51] <pravi> mneptok tried many versions but same problem
[15:51] <phunyguy> is there a command line ALAC encoder to go from FLAC to ALAC in ubuntu? Ormaybe a dbpoweramp alternative?
[15:52] <phunyguy> (one that maintains 24bit audio unlike ffmpeg)
[15:52] <mneptok> pravi: then the Linux kernel itself is the problem. it is not Ubuntu specific. file bugs at kernel.org or use Ubuntu's bug system (launchpad.net) to report issues
[15:53] <unkn-error> I have this problem, and It seems that I can not resolve it
[15:53] <unkn-error> " W: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com precise Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192 "
[15:53] <unkn-error> I followed this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1869890&page=3
[15:53] <unkn-error> but it dosen't fix it
[15:53] <escott> unkn-error, use apt-ket to add the key from the keyserver.ubuntu.com
[15:54] <escott> unkn-error, http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x16126D3A3E5C1192
[15:54] <kleewyck> I have a ltsp server running Ubuntu 11.10 and my clients seem to work just fine. When update to 12.04 I have no audio on my clients. Anyone had this issue?
[15:56] <unkn-error> escott: so, the command will be sudo apt-get add http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x16126D3A3E5C1192 ?
[15:56] <Sidewinder> !rootirc > Guest10073
[15:56] <escott> unkn-error, save that key (if you trust it you should verify) to a file and then run sudo apt-key add filename.pub
[15:57] <moes> Opened parted and recieved the following error: Unallocated partition table..invalid partition table on /dev/sda wrong signature 5954..This is my Ubuntu-10.04 partition.Any fix ??
[15:58] <moes> *gparted
[15:58] <escott> moes, best bet is probably to build a new partition table that matches the old one EXACTLY
[15:58] <escott> moes, and verify the disk isn't failing by checking the smart status
[15:58] <jacoman> h
[15:58] <klync> i have an nfs export with 'root_squash' option on the server, mounted on the client via autofs. i had to change a user's numeric uid and gid, which i did on both ends, but now the export shows up as nobody:nogroup. can't figure out what i'm missing. restarted nfs on the server and autofs on the client, but still not luck. ideas?
[15:59] <unkn-error> so that will be, cd /home/wolfy/Downloads && wget http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x16126D3A3E5C1192 && sudo apt-key filename
[15:59] <markdtxt> Hi guys, i recently installed lmms on U.E 2.7 but the sound is not fuctioning. Please help.
[15:59] <escott> unkn-error, basically
[15:59] <GeekSquid> unkn-error: you will have to strip the header from that file
[16:00] <moes> escott, I checked smart data and have one bad sector and alsoreallocated sector count warning
[16:00] <jacobpc-8917> //msg nickserv identify jacoman treescape8917
[16:01] <escott> jacobpc-8917, time to change the password
[16:01] <GeekSquid> jacobpc-8917: one less shash
[16:01] <jacobpc-8917> les
[16:01] <jacobpc-8917> yes
[16:01] <NSNO> oh wow
[16:01] <unkn-error> hm http://paste.ubuntu.com/1006603/
[16:02] <escott> unkn-error, there is a & in the URL. it is not quoted or escaped so it backgrounded the first bit prior to the &
[16:03] <GeekSquid> unkn-error: goto http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x16126D3A3E5C1192 and copy the text starting with -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- to a text file and save it to key.pub and use that file
[16:03] <cdavis> I am using byobu and when I cannot resize the pane to fit my window after using a virt-terminal. the screen is padded with "."
[16:03] <escott> unkn-error, it would be easier to just open the browser and copy and paste the keyblock. its ascii armored so you wont hurt it
[16:03] <cdavis> F5 doesn't resize the pane either
[16:04] <unkn-error> I am connected with ssh to the server, so only cli
[16:04] <GeekSquid> unkn-error:  use nano, you can still paste using Ctrl-Shift-V
[16:05] <unkn-error> good point!
[16:05] <persona24> How can I have mutliple workspaces in KDE?
[16:07] <moes> escott, http://pastebin.com/B0psRgRf...data from fdisk -l I don't know what the qnx4.x entry is ..that partition was my swap file
[16:08] <unkn-error> GeekSquid escott worked! :)
[16:08] <GeekSquid> moes: that is a bad link
[16:09] <escott> moes, you might want to use testdisk to verify your partition table
[16:09] <escott> moes, but its going to be hard for us to make any kind of recommendation regarding a corrupted mbr
[16:09] <persona24> How can I have multiple workspaces in KDE?
[16:10] <jagan_> hmmmmmmmmm
[16:11] <kirkland> cdavis: then you have another window or user connected to the session elsewhere, with a smaller terminal
[16:11] <kirkland> cdavis: kill off that connection or user, and you'll be full screen again
[16:15] <moes> escott, Would Super fdisk-1.0 also be an option
[16:16] <GVolkmann> Hi all. I have a problem with Gnome3 crashing, appears to be something in the configuration. How do I completely delete a user profile for Gnome3 in 12.04?
[16:16] <cdavis> kirkland: yep, doh on my part. thanks
[16:16] <escott> moes, dont know that tool, but something that scans the disk for superblocks to identify where filesystems begin and end would be advisable
[16:16] <moes> escott, Thanks for the info
[16:18] <sfears> GVolkmann: create a new user and delete the home folder of the one that's having problems
[16:18] <sfears> make sure you backup all your documents
[16:18] <sfears> or just delete all the .folders GVolkmann
[16:19] <Riccardo> !list
[16:19] <unkn-error> how can I shut down the system? " halt " command will just "halt" the os, not power off the hardware
[16:19] <GVolkmann> sfears: yeah, I was affraid the answer was the hard way :( a bit of the baby is going out with the bath watter
[16:20] <sfears> GVolkmann: before you delete anything
[16:20] <sfears> GVolkmann: create a new user, log into it and see if it fixes your problem... if it does, it's something in your home folder.  if the new user doesn't fix it, it's something on the system side
[16:21] <GVolkmann> sfears: good idea.
[16:25] <djszapi> hey, what is the name of the kernel package on ubuntu ?
[16:25] <djszapi> I would like to reinstall the kernle.
[16:25] <djszapi> kernel, even.
[16:26] <djszapi> is it kernel-image ?
[16:26]  * djszapi has no clue...
[16:26] <sfears> you wouldn't really reinstall the kernel djszapi, you could upgrade it
[16:26] <nelson777br> hello, I'm having problems with 12.04 video drivers. how can I active nouveau driver ? it is loading some generic driver ("renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)")
[16:26] <djszapi> sfears: nope
[16:26] <djszapi> sfears: I would like to reinstall it
[16:26] <djszapi> since it behaves weird after an sdcard clone.
[16:27] <djszapi> so what is the kernel package name ?
[16:27] <nelson777br> I want to restore to the default after instalation video configuration
[16:27] <sfears> linux-image
[16:27] <sfears> is you don't know what the package is called what makes you think it's the kernel causing issues djszapi?
[16:28] <nelson777br> hello, I'm having problems with 12.04 video drivers. how can I active nouveau driver ? it is loading some generic driver ("renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)"). I want to restore to the default after instalation video configuration
[16:29] <sfears> nelson777br: use the "restricted drivers" package
[16:30] <sfears> nelson777br: "additional drivers"
[16:32] <escott> nelson777br, that is nouvea
[16:33] <nelson777br> escott: "renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)" is nouveau ?
[16:35] <escott> nelson777br, i believe so
[16:36] <djszapi> sfears: please do not troll :)
[16:36] <nelson777br> Can anyone confirm "renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 0x300)" is nouveau ?
[16:36] <nelson777br> I mean, how can I check nouveau driver is active ?

[16:42] <Logos01> Halloa! The 12.04 Ubuntu release's NetworkManager seems to be using dnsmasq on the local machine for dns setup. Is there a decent resource for configuring this?
[16:42] <oCean> meharzada: the sudo password is your own (user) password
[16:42] <meharzada> escott its mine
[16:42] <Logos01> (I want to set up a '--server=' flag to that instance.)
[16:42] <oCean> meharzada: also, please note that 10.10 is end of life since april
[16:42] <Logos01> unkn-error: There's no reason it shouldn't.
[16:42] <meharzada> o cean its not working
[16:42] <Logos01> unkn-error: However, you can validate this by installing the package and checking for the modules within it before rebooting to it.
[16:42] <oCean> meharzada: does it work when you use it in a terminal?
[16:43] <unkn-error> how do I check the modules?
[16:43] <oCean> meharzada: so on a terminal prompt, running   sudo -i   works with your own password?
[16:43] <meharzada> i diddent check it ocean

[16:47] <splnet> escott: ok thanks
[16:47] <yggdrasil> sfears: yes, it doesnt show up there.
[16:47] <yggdrasil> only the internal display is there.
[16:47] <Logos01> Anybody -- resources for modifying config of dnsmasq used by NetworkManager?
[16:47] <oCean> meharzada: you are new, but you are using release 10.10?
[16:48] <sfears> look on your f1-f12 keys. is there a logo of a display on any of them? you may have to use the fn or ctrl key to turn on the secondary monitor.  laptops disable by default to save power
[16:48] <meharzada> yea
[16:48] <racar_> Hello folks,  i installed 12.04 and i have an issue. Sometimes the window menu ( at the top left ) , when i mouse over  the main level is displaying but not the second one. Its doing the same thing for all my window. Any idea ?
[16:48] <oCean> meharzada: please use a more recent version (12.04 is latest) Version 10.10 is end of life and no longer supported
[16:48] <yggdrasil> sfears: yea tried that too..
[16:48] <meharzada> can i upgrade it
[16:48] <meharzada> ?
[16:48] <sfears> yggdrasil: have you looked in the additional drivers application to make sure you have non-generic drivers installed?
[16:48] <oCean> meharzada: yes, but fresh install is much easier
[16:49] <oCean> meharzada: it's a long way from 10.10 to 12.04
[16:49] <djszapi> oCean: why ?
[16:49] <oCean> djszapi: why what
[16:49] <djszapi> I can upgrade a more years old archbox without any issues
[16:49] <djszapi> to the new system...
[16:49] <yggdrasil> sfears: yes, i have loaded the two different versions that are presented to me in the additional drivers and rebooted with both. no go :(
[16:49] <meharzada> ok nice but how can i resolve the issue which i m facing
[16:49] <yggdrasil> ive googled and cant seem to find anything either.
[16:50] <AcidRain2012> my ubuntu radio stream has streamed almost 20,000 songs :)
[16:51] <escott> meharzada, start by opening a terminal and typing "sudo echo success[ENTER]" and see if it prints success after you type in your password
[16:51] <keen_> Hi, is anyone familiar with the ban process on irc.icq.com? I am trying to sign in and it tells me I'm banned and I cannot make any sense of it...
[16:51] <meharzada> how can i check the terminal
[16:51] <meharzada> ?
[16:51] <oCean> djszapi: ubuntu does not always have direct upgrade paths
[16:51] <oCean> meharzada: your version is too old, the repositories (software) is no longer available
[16:51] <sfears> yggdrasil: what video card are you using?
[16:52] <oCean> meharzada: so, FIRST install a new version THEN come ask for support
[16:52] <yggdrasil> mmm
[16:52] <yggdrasil> its some nvidia
[16:52] <L3tops> Ok, so after upgrading through from 1004 to 1204, my the only issues I encountered were flashplugin nomenclature breaking the upgrade to oneiric, and asterisk issues... which I got around... now in 1204 my dash home appears to be deaf dumb and blind to any applications I have. Nothing I type in there returns any results, and there are no defaults in there... filters set to all. Any ideas?
[16:52] <sfears> and your desktop effects are working properly yggdrasil?
[16:52] <yggdrasil> let me check.

[17:07] <bhull05> Hello. I'm having an issue while attempting to format a laptop into ubuntu. I have tried using a USB flash drive and a CD and I encounter the same issue, after the installation process commences the screen freezes for 2 minutes and I get a screen of black and white horizontal bars frozen permanently until a forced reboot. Help anyone?
[17:07] <guntbert> yggdrasil: please take it easy on the <enter> key :), and it usually helps all if you put the nick of a person you are talking to at the start of your line
[17:08] <bjorkintosh> my dell laptop has buttons for controlling the volume and for muting ...
[17:08] <bjorkintosh> somehow, mute works properly, but unmute does not.
[17:08] <bjorkintosh> how're the buttons associated with the volume controls?
[17:09] <amh345> when running a command like cpulimit -e process -l 40  < is this permanent or does it revert when rebooted?
[17:09] <bjorkintosh> amh345, reverts.
[17:09] <bjorkintosh> it only becomes 'permanent' if you set it every time you boot up.
[17:09] <amh345> oh ok.  thank you.
[17:09] <bjorkintosh> or if the values are saved somewhere.
[17:10] <Wizard> amh345: you can add it /etc/rc.local
[17:10] <amh345> and just so i understand.  that's 40% of the CPU, correct?
[17:10] <amh345> Wizard: thank you1
[17:10] <rbrooks> bjorkintosh, check out acpid
[17:10] <Wizard> bhull05: ping.
[17:10] <Wizard> bhull05: Does it freeze after you hit "Restart"?
[17:11] <dijonyummy> how are you folks liking 12.04
[17:12] <bhull05> Wizard: No, it freezes when I press "Run Ubuntu from USB Drive"
[17:12] <bjorkintosh> dijonyummy, i've been on it for a few months now.
[17:12] <bjorkintosh> hmm. i wonder. anyone using 3.4 yet?
[17:12] <Wizard> 3.what? :>
[17:13] <bhull05> Wizard: Then, it scrolls through a wall of text and the purple Ubuntu screen comes up, but after the 5 dots go from white to orange it freezes for about 2 minutes, and then the black and white bar screen comes up.
[17:13] <bjorkintosh> Wizard, kernel.
[17:13] <innociv> I installed some things from FUBAR, the same thing but different versions, and now it's really fubar. How do I clean it up?
[17:13] <Wizard> bjorkintosh: 3.2.0-24-powerpc-smp
[17:14] <Wizard> bhull05: Which gfx card?  This has to be something with gfx card. It is possible to change video mode during cd boot, but I've forgotten how ;P
[17:17] <L3tops> bhull05: have you installed the nvidia drivers?
[17:18] <Wizard> L3tops: He's booting LiveCD ;]
[17:19] <L3tops> doh
[17:19] <Wizard> L3tops: I also don't know how to help you with Dash. Look at .xsession-errors, maybe some config file is screwed.
[17:19] <Wizard> I mean broken ;P
[17:19] <L3tops> try booting with the nomodeset option bhull05

[17:25] <nemo> Wizard: well, I've been using azureus for years. but might be worth moving.
[17:25] <L3tops> CiDhed: The only way I can think to do it is to script a connection to a SSID that doesn't change.

[17:29] <Wizard> L3tops: have you checked that error file?
[17:29] <Wizard> Unity is really worth trying.
[17:29] <rodhash> beandog, no :/
[17:29] <Wizard> If you don't have many specific options, you can also remove .config .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd and so ;]
[17:30] <L3tops> yes... I have other performance issues with it on this junk ATI... just going a bit lighter weight. I have no shortage of machines to run it on
[17:30] <bustabust> CIFS mounting issue... I have a drobo NAS with a share called central. I can 'smbclient -L drobo-primary' and see the share called central. However when I run the command 'sudo mount -t cifs -o username=bustabust,password=mypass //<IP_ADDRESS>/central /mnt/drobo' error says Unable to find suitable address. Any ideas? I've googled the heck out of this thing
[17:30] <nemo> Wizard: I'm trying hard to get used to it.  Still handles apps like Eclipse badly though (loses track of it and tries to launch again instead of switching)
[17:30] <nemo> Wizard: also lack of applets *really* pisses me off. I miss my cpu/network monitors
[17:31] <Wizard> nemo: Java apps are easy to fix.
[17:31] <Wizard> I did that with my IntelliJ <3
[17:31] <L3tops> CiDhed I didn't think about that... maybe you could launch wicd as root from startup
[17:31] <Wizard> nemo: you just have to edit their desktop file and add StartupWMClass.
[17:32] <nemo> Wizard: oh. and if I launch 2 instances of firefox, even with completely different paths, (/home/nemo/firefox.nightly/firefox vs /usr/bin/firefox) it thinks they are same firefox as on launcher, and clicking focuses the nightly one.   I guess I could try making another launcher, now that I learned alacarte is the workaround for their removing that capability from pretty much anywhere
[17:32] <CiDhed> L3tops, that is what I am trying now.
[17:32] <nemo> Wizard: now about those applets... :-p
[17:32] <Wizard> Which you can get by running xprop.
[17:32] <CiDhed> wicd has always been a decent network manager. Don't know why it isn't the main in ubuntu.
[17:32] <Wizard> nemo: Unity uses WM_CLASS to sort windows.
[17:32] <Wizard> Firefox will allways be Firefox ;]
[17:33] <nemo> Wizard: that has nothing to do with firefox
[17:33] <Wizard> It has.
[17:33] <nemo> Wizard: and everything to do w/ launching another app w/ same name but totally different location
[17:33] <Wizard> I told you, Unity uses WM_CLASS window hint.
[17:34] <nemo> Wizard: you did mention, I'm just saying how it is annoying as a user
[17:34] <Wizard> Applications usually use *same* WM_CLASS regardless of version or path.
[17:34] <nemo> I don't particularly care *what* they chose to do. they are just replacing an interface that did work
[17:34] <Wizard> nemo: You can't do anything with this.
[17:34] <Wizard> nemo: apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
[17:34] <lello> hi guys, i've a desktop with an i5 and an ati 6750. With proprietary ati drivers, 3d won't work, instead if I use the integrated intel everything works fine, except sometimes
[17:34] <Wizard> Nothing is being replaced :/
[17:35] <nemo> Wizard: this was more about your "unity is really worth trying" so I mentioned my trying, and things encountered.  I could go on
[17:35] <nemo> Wizard: for example, Unity2D makes resizing windows almost impossible
[17:35] <lello> sometimes, desktop start withouth 3d working
[17:35] <lello> and I don't know why
[17:35] <nemo> there's an open bug on that. has been open for a while
[17:35] <Wizard> nemo: Yes, I know.
[17:36] <nemo> my SO is using Unity2D 'cause 3D was too unreliable (crashy/sluggish) on her intel gfx card
[17:36] <Wizard> I got used to alt+right click resize years ago, so I don't care ;P
[17:36] <nemo> Wizard: yeeeah. 'scuse me for not recommending that to her.

[17:36] <nemo> Wizard: I'm experimenting w/ MATE but unfortunately it still doesn't play nice w/ Gnome3 installed
[17:36] <Wizard> nemo: This bug is a metacity bug actually.
[17:36] <nemo> Wizard: maybe soon.
[17:37] <nemo> Wizard: well. metacity + excessively thin border themes in default Unity2D
[17:37] <nemo> Wizard: shouldn't give users a non-functional experience in the interests of style
[17:37] <cypher-neo> nemo: Don't like Unity? Try something else, like Xubuntu or GNOME-Shell.

[17:38] <codeM0nK3Y> how can i check which version of php is in the repos? the lampstack page says php5, but that could mean 5.1 for all I know
[17:38] <ferris> not really sure why audacity is not working
[17:38] <nemo> dlentz: hm. I was using the one off the ubuntu PPA - is it significantly different in Mint?
[17:38] <ferris> can someone help me out with this?
[17:38] <cypher-neo> nemo, I found an amazing XFCE distro called Voyager. It doesn't use Unity at all so you shouldn't have a problem it.
[17:38] <ferris> and thanks in advanced
[17:39] <nemo> dlentz: main issue was w/ config daemon startup errors, causing most of config to be unusable. someone blamed that on having Gnome3 installed
[17:39] <lello> no one may help me?
[17:39] <guntbert> !details | ferris
[17:39] <Wizard> nemo: Usually new users are amused by Unity.
[17:39] <nemo> dlentz: but I was unwilling to remove Gnome3 - esp since I'm experimenting w/ MATE to try and find my mom a migration path off 11.04 that she's been trapped on
[17:39] <Wizard> It works. It's predictable. Preconfigured.
[17:39] <cypher-neo> ferris, You're having problems with Sound?  Make sure the Sound is turned up and not muted, and then from Sound Settings you can run tests and see why it's not working.
[17:39] <nemo> Wizard: heh. unless they use Unity2D
[17:39] <Wizard> nemo: I do.
[17:39] <nemo> then they are amused in not-a-fun-way
[17:40] <Wizard> Religion forbids me using Compiz.
[17:40] <Wizard> ;P
[17:40] <nemo> unity2d also made moving apps between monitors almost impossible
[17:40] <Wizard> Let's take this chat to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[17:40] <nemo> way too hard to drag them around
[17:40] <nemo> Wizard: these are legit bugs that I'm looking for fixes on. hardly off-topic
[17:40] <Wizard> nemo: I got thing into my hands and fixed a bug myself.
[17:41] <Wizard> I added patch to launchpad issue, but *nobody* did *anything* with it.
[17:41] <nemo> another fun one w/ 2 monitor setup. experimenting w/ disabling laptop monitor and just using plugged in one. every time she reboots I have to disable the laptop monitor again, it always forgets.  That one might be lowerlevel than Unity I guess, although XFCE did not do this
[17:41] <Wizard> For more than a week.
[17:41] <Wizard> ;]
[17:41] <Wizard> nemo: I agree, many things need polishing.
[17:41] <nemo> to put it mildly :)
[17:41] <Wizard> But. I appreciate one thing.
[17:42] <Wizard> nemo: ;)
[17:42] <nemo> Wizard: they haven't even gotten to the level of function my mom has been used to for years in Gnome2 :)
[17:42] <cypher-neo> nemo, Out of curiousity, which XFCE distro did you use? Standard Xubuntu, or another X flavor?
[17:42] <Wizard> Yes, I know.
[17:42] <guntbert> nemo: sop that ranting please
[17:42] <guntbert> *stop
[17:42] <schultza> how do i check to see how much physical memory i have?
[17:42] <Wizard> But at least Linux has *unique* GUI.
[17:42] <ferris> guntbert... when i start audacity it silently quits. When I start it in a terminal it gives errors and quits.... never gets to the ui
[17:42] <nemo> guntbert: those aren't rants. those are a list of bugs. if you know of workarounds or fixes, you could be helpful instead of rude. if you're an admin, well, still being rude
[17:43] <dlentz> schultza, sudo dmidecode
[17:43] <Wizard> And I was waiting for this for more than 10 years.
[17:43] <ferris> the alsa-info information is posted at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1e069eb0ac6fa82fb489549ceca37fc5affa0d3e
[17:43] <nemo> cypher-neo: I'm not using an XFCE4 distro - I install it on standard ubuntu
[17:43] <L3tops> schultza: cat /proc/meminfo will tell you more than you ever wanted to know :)
[17:43] <nemo> cypher-neo: just one more window manager
[17:43] <Wizard> Besides, Unity's gui reminds me WindowMaker ;P
[17:43] <guntbert> nemo: this is a support channel, no developers here
[17:43] <Wizard> I used to like WindowMaker.
[17:43] <nemo> guntbert: yes. and those are user interface bugs. perhaps there are workarounds or fixes.
[17:44] <ferris> I am not having playback issues as i can listen to music, watch videos ect... just can't start audacity
[17:44] <guntbert> ferris: send the output of audacity to a !pastebin
[17:44] <dlentz> ferris, have you made any attempt to google the error you receive from audacity in the terminal?
[17:44] <Wizard> nemo: join #ubuntu-offtopic.
[17:44] <nemo> guntbert: I'm quite familiar w/ how to find the dev channel thanks, just none of this is appropriate to it :-p
[17:44] <schultza> there was another command that showed both physical and page/disk memory used and total
[17:44] <ferris> yes
[17:44] <Wizard> We can talk freely there.
[17:44] <guntbert> !google | dlentz
[17:44] <L3tops> schultza: top will also tell you about resources.
[17:45] <cypher-neo> nemo, Oh, okay.  I wouldn't inflict it on my mom
[17:45] <ferris> dlentz, yeah i have which is why i am hoping someone can take a look at the output and tell me what I need to do
[17:45] <dlentz> guntbert, thanks for the information (that i've seen a bazillion times), but i did not tell anyone to google anything, just asked if they already had
[17:45] <nemo> Wizard: have more than enough channels open in irssi. thanks anyway.
[17:45] <Wizard> :S
[17:46] <Wizard> Too bad, it was such a interesting discussion.
[17:46] <ferris> this just started after the upgrade to 12 lts
[17:46] <guntbert> ferris: you need to show us the output :-) (use a pastebin please)
[17:46] <cypher-neo> nemo, Funny... I just adjusted my clock....
[17:47] <cypher-neo> nemo, Didn't seem too hard to me.
[17:47] <nemo> cypher-neo: try timezone :-p
[17:47] <dlentz> ferris, yes, do as guntbert suggested and pastebin the error
[17:47] <cypher-neo> nemo, Oh... I see what you mean.
[17:47] <unkn-error> is webmin safe or is a security flaw?
[17:47] <ferris> Not sure it will display properly in pastebin but we will see
[17:47] <guntbert> !webmin | unkn-error
[17:48] <ferris> ok... it looks like it will work
[17:48] <unkn-error> is there an free alternative to webmin and cpanel?
[17:48] <ferris> http://pastebin.com/jM4SKaFm
[17:49] <cypher-neo> nemo, Actually... once I put my mind to figuring it out, it wasn't too difficult to do.
[17:50] <guntbert> ferris: that is the output of audacity?
[17:50] <nemo> cypher-neo: oh? is there a nice gui for it? last I checked it still had to be done on commandline
[17:50] <ferris> dlentz guntbert  It is in paste bin... those are the outputs from the alsa-info script
[17:50] <nemo> unacceptable for mom or SO
[17:50] <cypher-neo> nemo, I opened Settings, clicked on Calendar, and there was a Timezone option.
[17:50] <ferris> guntbert, yes
[17:50] <nemo> cypher-neo: oh. haha. that doesn't actually change it :)
[17:50] <nemo> yes. I know. also. really hard to navigate
[17:50] <ferris> guntbert, no... that is from alsa
[17:50] <ferris> not audacity
[17:51] <guntbert> ferris: I expected the output of audacity, but maybe someone else will be able to see problems in the alsa-info
[17:52] <CiDhed> Figured it out, if anyone cares
[17:52] <schultza> CiDhed: figured what out?
[17:52] <ferris> guntbert,  this is the output from audacity http://pastebin.com/ZPe4zpxR
[17:52] <CiDhed> Limited users not being able to connect to new public networks without a root password.

[17:53] <cypher-neo> LOL. Typing in the wrong window
[17:53] <schultza> CiDhed: is a fix for that?
[17:53] <guntbert> ferris: now I see why you posted the alsa-info - alas I am not able to help with those issues - sorry
[17:54] <roasted_> Anybody running Motion? I'm trying to set up multiple cameras and am curious about the motion.conf file. With multiple cameras, you use the thread.conf files (1 per camera). Okay fine. But in motion.conf, /dev/video0 still takes primary unless I have a netcam_url specified. So what do I do for this portion of the file when the cams should be configured in thread1.conf, etc?
[17:54] <guntbert> cypher-neo: change that password ;-)
[17:55] <CiDhed> schultza, yeah, you edit the network manager policy in /usr/share/polkit-1
[17:55] <schultza> nevermind... ill be back. rebooting for ubuntu updates (cups, unity)
[17:55] <cypher-neo> guntbert, lol. Yeah
[17:55] <CiDhed> There really should be a permissions application.
[17:55] <dlentz> ferris, you should really report the segmentation faoult on launchpad. audacity shouldn't be doing that even if it has issues with your sound
[17:56] <ferris> I have clicked submit a report when the dialog box popped up... is that the same as using launchpad?
[17:56] <dlentz> ferris, yes, do you have a link?
[17:56] <ferris> no.
[17:57] <ferris> i start audacity and then it gives me the report a problem... so I click  submit a problem
[17:57] <patc1> Hello, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on notebook. If using single screen (external), I can use kaffeine. If I activate the notebook screen too, kaffeine does not work (no image, but still sound OK). This all works fine under 10.10, but 10.10 is no longer supported. I think it comes from xorg or something about the screens management... any idea please?
[17:58] <ferris> haven't gone into anything else
[17:58] <dlentz> ferris, does tha bring up a browser??
[17:58] <ferris> no
[17:58] <schultza> im back

[17:59] <ferris> when i start it with sudo... i get a pop up that says... Audacity could not find a place to store temporary files.
[17:59] <ferris> Please enter an appropriate directory in the preferences dialog.
[17:59] <dlentz> see if workaround in comment 5 on that bug fixes it
[17:59] <anels> Hi, guys. Does anyone know how to configure the compression rate when create an archive?
[17:59] <Wizard> anels: Yes, gzip has switches from -1 to -9.
[18:00] <ferris> then I get another dialog box... that says...
[18:00] <escott> anels, gzip -#
[18:00] <Wizard> See man gzip for details.
[18:00] <ferris> Do you want to report the problem now?
[18:00] <ferris> I click report problem...
[18:00] <Wizard> Other compressors have simmilar params.
[18:00] <anels> Thanks, how about GUI? I mean I like right-click compress
[18:00] <ferris> then it asks for admin pass

[18:01] <do1080> why does the command who return 0 users?  specifically the chain "who | wc -l"
[18:01] <do1080> does it not count myself?
[18:01] <ferris> ok
[18:01] <ferris> thanks
[18:01] <dlentz> ferris, i have to go, but good luck
[18:01] <patc1> nobody?
[18:01] <Wizard> do1080: It should.
[18:01] <escott> do1080, who only counts tty's and psuedo ttys. not all terminal like applications open a tty
[18:01] <do1080> makes sense
[18:01] <do1080> thanks
[18:02] <escott> do1080, guake for one doesn't although im not sure what it does if it doesnt have a tty...

[18:03] <Layke> I'm trying to kill a process.. it's not dying.. sudo kill pid

[18:03] <schultza> try "kill -9 [pid]"
[18:04] <Layke> Thanks
[18:04] <Layke> That killed it.
[18:04] <Layke> What was the difference?
[18:05] <bieb> ubuntu 12.04 LTSP.. trying to install Firefox as local app... did chroot /opt/ltsp/i386.. apt-get update.. apt-get install firefox.. Unable to locate Firefox...  what is the package name for Firefox?  It used to be just "firefox"
[18:05] <escott> Layke, a different signal was sent -9 is SIGHUP i believe
[18:05] <schultza> Layke: some programs may have NOHUP status on them which keeps them running, or there is another reason. The kill -9 forces it to close like the system is shutting down. Please read the "man kill" about it for more information.
[18:05] <patc1> Hello, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on notebook. If using single screen (external), I can use kaffeine. If I activate the notebook screen too, kaffeine does not work (no image, but still sound OK). This all works fine under 10.10, but 10.10 is no longer supported. I think it comes from xorg or something about the screens management... any idea please?
[18:06] <ferris> dlentz, it worked... thanks a lot
[18:06] <cccangel> patc1, have you tried dual booting an install of 12.04 to see if that helps fixing the problem?
[18:07] <Layke> Thanks for the tip.
[18:07] <schultza> Layke: yw
[18:07] <patc1> cccangel: no. I know that it works under 10.10. What I would like to know is how to make it work under 10.04.
[18:07] <Syria> Please help me with applying a socks proxy system wide on Kubuntu 12.04.
[18:07] <patc1> cccangel: so I think it'll be OK under 12.04... but I need it to work under 10.04
[18:08] <uofm49426> can i upgrade from lts to lts
[18:08] <uofm49426> can i go from 11.04 to 12.04
[18:08] <schultza> uofm49426: there is a current problme with that from the last lts to this new one. They are frantically working on it now.
[18:08] <cccangel> patc1, what kindof grpahics card are you on?
[18:09] <patc1> cccangel: intel graphics I can check more in details if needed
[18:09] <dillon> can someone help me with an issue i seem to be having? i can get WoW to run in ubuntu but i get low FPS
[18:10] <uofm49426> so right nows i have to step to 11.10 before going to 12.04
[18:10] <dillon> ?
[18:11] <cccangel> patc1, thats all i need to know.  i think your best bet is to look into https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa and see what that can offer as for a graphics update ...
[18:11] <schultza> uofm49426: actually, there is a problem with that too. But at this time, thats the upgrade path.
[18:11] <fixtehinterwebs> hi! i'm using 12.04 and i'm having issues with tomcat. Specifically, i have a deployed application that wants to write logs to ${catalina.home}/logs , and what that yields is an error in catalina.out which complains about ioexceptions in /usr/share/tomcat6/ . That directory contains no symlink to /var/log/tomcat6 . So i add an export for CATALINA_HOME in root's .bashrc pointing to /usr/lib/tomcat6 , but funnily enough that pr
[18:11] <bazhang> dillon, via wine?
[18:11] <dillon> yessir
[18:11] <fixtehinterwebs> so, i dig up the /etc/init.d/tomcat6 file, and that declares a CATALINA_HOME at /usr/share/tomcat6
[18:11] <bazhang> check the appdb and /join #winehq dillon
[18:11] <patc1> cccangel: thank you, I'll have a look!
[18:11] <bazhang> !appdb | dillon
[18:12] <dillon> ty sirt
[18:12] <fixtehinterwebs> which is whats breaking my application, but i need /usr/lib/tomcat6
[18:12] <dillon> sirs
[18:12] <cccangel> patc1, because 11.10 uses an updated xserver, mesa, and etc... and they backport newer versions ..
[18:12] <fixtehinterwebs> so, wtf
[18:12] <fixtehinterwebs> ubuntu, Y U BREAK MY TOMCAT?
[18:12] <uofm49426> ill just go to 11.04 till i can pick up a cdr
[18:13] <patc1> cccangel: but do you have an idea why it works under 10.10?  Maybe I can find a way to goaround it! :)
[18:15] <hairydog> I love ubuntu
[18:15] <Syria> bazhang: Do you have a minute please?
[18:15] <patc1> cccangel: thanks for your help.
[18:15] <cccangel> patc1, your best bet is use bleeding edge updates for that version
[18:15] <bazhang> Syria, ask the channel, if they know the answer someone will try
[18:15] <cccangel> patc1, aka... the link i gave you
[18:15] <patc1> cccangel: yes oki, thanks!
[18:16] <hairydog> bazhang, do you know how to view ubuntu shares?
[18:16] <hairydog> I need to see what folders I'm sharing
[18:16] <fixtehinterwebs> bazhang: i apologize, but that doesnt make me less in need of help and less pissed off at how a distro is breaking my webapps
[18:16] <Syria> How can apply a socks proxy system wide please?? Kubuntu 12.04.
[18:16] <bazhang> hairydog, samba shares? nfs? please clarify
[18:16] <hairydog> samba
[18:16] <unkn-error> uff
[18:16] <bazhang> hairydog, are you sharing between windows and ubuntu?
[18:17] <hairydog> trying to
[18:17] <unkn-error> i tried this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1006820/ but I still have no bootscreen / bootsplash
[18:17] <hairydog> I just want to see what folders I have shared so far
[18:17] <naryfa> Hi everyone
[18:17] <bazhang> hairydog, got the drive mounted in fstab?
[18:17] <hairydog> not sure what fstab is
[18:17] <schultza> hairydog: ddid you install samba-server ?
[18:17] <hairydog> I'm new to ubuntu
[18:17] <hairydog> umm let me show you
[18:17] <bazhang> !fstab | hairydog
[18:17] <hairydog> hang on 1 sec
[18:18] <roasted_> hairydog: what's the goal here? To have shared folders on Ubuntu that Windows can access?
[18:18] <schultza> hairydog: samba client is already installed by default. server side is not
[18:18] <roasted_> schultza: I've never installed samba-server, and I've always hosted shares on my ubuntu system.
[18:18] <byteman> If I run <<$ echo -e "foo">> I get "foo", but if I run <<$ sh -c 'echo -e "foo"'>> I get "-e foo" ---why do I get the "-e" in the second example?
[18:18] <baazigar|rajat> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[18:18] <unkn-error> how can I disable the boot splash to see only the text when it's booting? at least if is not working too see a text on the screen, not just a dark / blank screen
[18:18] <roasted_> in fact, samba-server isn't even a valid package in 12.04
[18:19] <baazigar|rajat> gnome-session: Depends: gnome-session-bin (>= 3.2.1-0ubuntu8) but 3.2.1-0ubuntu8 is to be installed
[18:19] <baazigar|rajat>                Depends: gnome-session-common (= 3.2.1-0ubuntu8) but 3.2.1-0ubuntu8 is to be installed
[18:19] <hairydog> I followed this guide
[18:19] <hairydog> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html
[18:19] <baazigar|rajat> hi i am getting this error when installing tweak tool
[18:19] <schultza> roasted_: with this install of 12.04, ive had to physically installed [smb|samba]-server to get it working.
[18:19] <roasted_> schultza: samba-server is not a valid package in ubuntu 12.04
[18:19] <hairydog> and yeah the goal is to have ubuntu folders that I can view from my windows machine
[18:19] <L3tops> baazigar|rajat: Do you have PPAs installed?
[18:19] <roasted_> E: Unable to locate package samba-server
[18:19] <baazigar|rajat> no
[18:19] <escott> byteman, compare to /bin/bash -c 'echo -e "foo"'
[18:19] <hairydog> so far I have gotten it to where I can see my ubuntu vm, and can see the folder I shared, but when I try to open it, windows asks for authentication, I want it not to do that so I can just view the folder
[18:20] <schultza> well, i know i had to install some sort of server package in connection with samba to get mine to work
[18:20] <vekexasia> Hello all, i've just installed ubuntu on my desktop machine. Do you know which daemon is listening on port 53 ?
[18:20] <roasted_> hairydog: that guide looks good. However, if you want a more "no bs" way to configure samba, check out system-config-samba... it's a small but easy to use GUI to handle those tasks.
[18:20] <hairydog> sudo apt-get install system-config-samba ??
[18:20] <roasted_> hairydog: personally, when I began to tinker with samba, the config file kind of had me confused, so I would make changes in the gui and check the config file to see what the gui changed. From there, I learned much quicker.
[18:20] <roasted_> hairydog: yes
[18:20] <hairydog> k ty
[18:20] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops: is there no way to solve this dependency error???
[18:20] <hairydog> I'll check it out
[18:20] <roasted_> hairydog: it's also in the software center, listed as "samba", but just run that in terminal and you'll download it.
[18:21] <hairydog> I'm falling in love with ubuntu
[18:21] <roasted_> hairydog: it'll show up in your menu as Samba... need root to open the application. From there you can set up shares and whatnot. You'll see when you get there, but like I said, check out the smb.conf when you're done making changes. It'll help you learn.
[18:21] <hairydog> the more I learn the more I like it
[18:21] <L3tops> Well baazigar|rajat we must first figure out what is causing it...
[18:21] <escott> byteman, i think what is happening is that in /bin/sh which is really /bin/dash "echo" is a builtin that does not understand -e
[18:21] <roasted_> hairydog: it's a good platform. We're porting from Mac to Ubuntu here at work.
[18:21] <hairydog> Nice
[18:21] <L3tops> typically baazigar|rajat it is due to some errant ppa
[18:21] <roasted_> hairydog: just keep your resources in mind... ubuntuforums, this IRC channel, etc.

[18:26] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops : through software-center
[18:26] <hairydog> So game makers won't make games for Ubuntu ? Is that just because it's open source and free or what?
[18:27] <hairydog> and bazhang  this is Ubuntu support, I'm asking questions related to Ubuntu and game support :P
[18:27] <bazhang> hairydog, thats outside the support topic here
[18:27] <hairydog> not uh!
[18:27] <L3tops> baazigar|rajat: have you done an apt-get update    lately?
[18:27] <schultza> bartj: jaunty is no longer supported, you will need to upgrade to a newer version
[18:27] <hairydog> it says ubuntu support, that is technically ubuntu support
[18:27] <escott> hairydog, they are coming around slowly, but it always seems a couple years out
[18:27] <povoacao> resintall ? is it  not enough to recompile the kernel and install the required libraries ? only reinstalling...
[18:27] <L3tops> baazigar|rajat: sudo apt-get update
[18:27] <vekexasia> Hello guys, I don't want to sound annoying but I've an issue. I can't refresh the ip address of a website. dig always query localhost for the dns but I don't have any dns installed. Any idea ?
[18:27] <bazhang> hairydog, no it's not. lets move on
[18:27] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops : i did it an hour ago
[18:27] <roasted_> hairydog: beware of bazhang. He holds the magical ban hammer.
[18:27] <hairydog> !topic
[18:27] <bartj> schultza, or I could try installing from the sources ?
[18:28] <hairydog> Official Ubuntu Support Channel. Hey just cause I ask about games because I'm a gamer and want to game on Ubuntu doesn't make it any less important than anyone else's questions you're just being hitler.
[18:28] <schultza> or go from the sources. id recommend a ubuntu upgrade (install from disk) option though
[18:28] <schultza> you will not get supported updates without doing everything yourself
[18:28] <roasted_> hairydog: I'd drop it bro... he holds the ban hammer.
[18:28] <roasted_> sigh...
[18:28] <bazhang> roasted_, lets move on
[18:28] <roasted_> color me surprised
[18:29] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops : can you help or should i reinstall ubuntu ???
[18:29] <bartj> schultza, i tried googling a bit but couldn't find the sources for libmysqlclient15-dev
[18:29] <schultza> sorry guys, i helped the gaming topic along
[18:29] <vekexasia> Hello guys, I don't want to sound annoying but I've an issue. I can't refresh the ip address of a website. dig always query localhost for the dns but I don't have any dns installed. Any idea ?
[18:29] <L3tops> We can figure it out... a reinstall is a drastic step baazigar|rajat. What were you trying to install to begin with that gave you the depend error
[18:29] <roasted_> Question - any Motion users here? I'm trying to set up multiple network cameras, but I'm having an issue with the config file. I understand I am to use the thread.conf files for individual cameras, but what about the motion.conf where /dev/video0 takes priority?
[18:29] <hairy-dog> jerk.
[18:29] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops : Advanced setting
[18:30] <escott> roasted_, im curious what this "motion" project is
[18:30] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops : Tweak advanced gnome 3 settings
[18:30] <zacktu> is there a live cd tool that can examine the mbr on a disk and say that it has been corrupted  beyone repair?
[18:30] <roasted_> escott: it's a motion detection software for Linux... uses your webcam by default, or you can set up network cameras.
[18:30] <shred805> hello does anyone know the command to run the add printer wizard
[18:30] <roasted_> escott: I can set share paths in the config and itll save the images/video stream to that location whenever something moves across the camera field of view.
[18:30] <L3tops> baazigar|rajat: have you run an apt-get upgrade?
[18:31] <L3tops> baazigar|rajat: sudo
[18:31] <shred805> im trying to run it though ssh need the command
[18:31] <hairy-dog> bazhang, how about instead of kicking me, you could direct me to a channel where I CAN talk about gaming on Ubuntu?
[18:31] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops  : yes sudo apt-get update, not upgrade
[18:31] <roasted_> hairy-dog: #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:31] <escott> roasted_, ok. i was wondering if it was some open source attempt at something like kinect
[18:31] <bazhang> hairy-dog, #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:31] <sweb1> what is pacakge name of sun java in ubuntu  ?
[18:31] <hairy-dog> thank you roasted_
[18:31] <L3tops> baazigar|rajat: I am confused at the error, because they both appear to want and not be installed because of the same version... please sudo apt-get upgrade and try again
[18:31] <sweb1> no openjdk
[18:32] <roasted_> escott: not necessarily. Its appealing to me because ZoneMinder has been giving me some issues with my higher resolution surveillance cameras... so I wanted to try Motion, which users have been praising, but I just can't find much info on the subject.
[18:32] <roasted_> escott: I can figure out how to get 1 camera to work in the config, but once I introduce other cameras and have to split my configs in the thread1.conf thread2.conf etc files, I lose it.
[18:33] <escott> roasted_, i've never heard of the project i was just curious what it is
[18:33] <escott> sweb1, sun java can no longer be distributed by canonical per instructions from oracle
[18:33] <roasted_> escott: sounds good. :)
[18:33] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops : how much time will it take ? on 256 kbps net speed?
[18:34] <povoacao> if I use make x86_64_defconfig in my 32 bits ubuntu, my new kernel will support 64 bit hardware ?
[18:34] <sweb1> escott: for any distrubtion of linux ? or just ubuntu ?
[18:34] <bazhang> povoacao, you have to reinstall to change arch
[18:34] <escott> povoacao, its not supported. your userspace including glibc would still be 32bit
[18:34] <BrainFrosty> What's a genius?
[18:35] <BrainFrosty> I heard it was a male with an oversized penis
[18:35] <kurtwp_> sweb1: to my knowledge sun-java it is still in the repo
[18:35] <bazhang> BrainFrosty, related to ubuntu?
[18:35] <escott> sweb1, i believe it was for everyone
[18:35] <BrainFrosty> no in general
[18:35] <L3tops> baazigar|rajat: I cannot know that. Go ahead and run it, and it will tell you the amount of megs that will need to be downloaded
[18:35] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops : around 1 GB of upgrades, it will take a lot of time.
[18:35] <bazhang> BrainFrosty, wrong channel. stop it
[18:35] <hairy-dog> how do I take a screenshot in ubuntu?
[18:35] <BrainFrosty> alright fine
[18:35] <kurtwp_> hairy-dog: download shutter
[18:36] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops : i ran it
[18:36] <sweb1> package name : kurtwp_
[18:36] <sweb1> ?
[18:36] <L3tops> baazigar|rajat: perhaps a better answer is... less time than a backup/reinstall/restore?
[18:36] <escott> sweb1, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/java-to-be-removed-from-ubuntu-uninstalled-from-user-machines/
[18:36] <schultza> kurtwp_: there is no default solution?
[18:36] <L3tops> I will be around baazigar|rajat.
[18:36] <kurtwp_> sweb1: do a apt-cache search sun | more
[18:36] <kurtwp_> see what you see
[18:36] <baazigar|rajat> L3tops : ok
[18:36] <kurtwp_> schultza: for what
[18:36] <schultza> kurtwp_: for the screen capture
[18:37] <kurtwp_> schultza: correct so let me re-phrase I recommend shutter for a screen cap utility
[18:37] <hairy-dog> kurtwp_, sudo apt-get install shutter?
[18:37] <kurtwp_> hairy-dog: do a apt-cache search shutter to make sure
[18:38] <schultza> i just did.. shutter is a package
[18:41] <povoacao> is possible to install with the DVD ubuntu 64 bit without loose my data on my 32 bit ubuntu ?
[18:41] <escott> povoacao, just backup your /home and the user data should be safe
[18:41] <bazhang> povoacao, got a /home partition thats separate?
[18:41] <povoacao> my /home partition is cripted
[18:42] <escott> povoacao, that shouldnt be a problem as long as you backup all of /home
[18:42] <povoacao> all other filesystems is under /
[18:42] <schultza> your home dir is encrypted. but while you are in it.. it's available to you, right
[18:42] <kurtwp_> povoacao: back it up anyways
[18:42] <povoacao> I would like to preserve the applications too
[18:43] <povoacao> a lot of applications...
[18:43] <schultza> not sure how you would be able to preserve the apps
[18:43] <escott> !clone | povoacao
[18:43] <ankush_> Hi all
[18:43] <zbeefy> hi
[18:43] <nemo> Wizard: found another app horribly painful to use in Unity - GIMP.  Having menu along top of each window is really useful. going to top of screen and trying to figure out which window is being referenced, not so much
[18:43] <escott> povoacao, when you backup the encrypted /home you should do so from a livecd so as to avoid issues with having the ecryptfs mounted on top of /home/username
[18:44] <nemo> Wizard: actually, that one I think is enough to drive me back to gnome3 or anything else
[18:44] <ankush_> I have just installed ubuntu 11.04 , installed some softwares, and restarted, but now it freezes on the purple loading screen? what should I do?
[18:44] <nemo> Wizard: well. that on top of the other problems.
[18:44] <povoacao> I think I can install without format filesystem ou recreate them
[18:45] <schultza> nemo: it's not as bad for the mac osx users.. that's their normal
[18:45] <arta> remASTERIN IN UBUNTU
[18:46] <zaggynl> has anyone managed to boot ubuntu server x64 on virtualbox?
[18:46] <povoacao> I would like to preserve the applications...not reinstall...only install the 64 bit kernel and the necessary packages
[18:46] <povoacao> and update any or other pack if necessary
[18:46] <schultza> i dont think you can update from a i386 (32 bit) to a x86-64 (64 bit) arch
[18:47] <schultza> without a reinstall... great.. now im punctuating again with enter
[18:47] <povoacao> they tell me to reinstall....
[18:47] <schultza> yeah, i think that's your best option
[18:47] <schultza> but back up what you have installed with the method they told you on the programs.. then backup your /home dirs... then reinstall...
[18:47] <povoacao> I want the easy option
[18:48] <schultza> i think that's the best option right now...
[18:48] <povoacao> and not the best in this case.
[18:48] <escott> povoacao, thats the ONLY option in this case. please don't ask again
[18:48] <arta_> Indonesia .........
[18:48] <schultza> you are talking of TWO DIFFERENT archs.. you cant upgrade from one to another
[18:48] <arta_> help remasteering
[18:48] <schultza> without rebuilding the whole system.. thats why there needs to be a reinstall
[18:49] <piihb> Can someone explain the different versions of Adobe to download for Linux?
[18:49] <escott> piihb, adobe what?
[18:49] <arta_> I am Ubuntu 11.04
[18:49] <piihb> escott: Flash.
[18:50] <schultza> arta_: what are you trying to remaster?
[18:50] <escott> piihb, can you give an example of what you are trying to pick between?
[18:50] <arta_> yas,,, I have trobol
[18:51] <o67pc> aff
[18:51] <o67pc> isp fdp
[18:51] <o67pc> What is the file of we change the ttl of linux?
[18:51] <zacktu> a friend gave me a computer -- installs of windows xp and ubuntu won't boot -- system rescue cd will find ubuntu and boot it, but ubuntu won't boot off the disk -- i've tried fixmbr and fixboot for windows w/ no success -- is it time to trash the disk?
 yes I know is two different archs
[18:51] <piihb> escott: YUM for Linux; .tar.gz for other Linux; .rpm for other Linux
[18:52] <povoacao> I know I need gcc , libs and other suffs 64 bits
[18:52] <escott> !apt | piihb use apt to install flash do not download programs from websites
[18:52] <schultza> povoacao: but there is no command to switch archs at this time
[18:52] <schultza> once you installed an arch, it stays in that arch for any updates/upgrades.
[18:53] <povoacao> yes I know....but will be good if someone create this command
[18:53] <zbeefy> zacktu: you could check the drive under ubuntu live CD using Disk Utility
[18:53] <povoacao> to switch archs
[18:53] <bazhang> povoacao, cannot be done. reinstall
[18:53] <zacktu> zbeefy: disk utility says the disk is ok
[18:53] <o67pc>  What is the file of we change the ttl of linux?
[18:53] <povoacao> I work with AIX....AIX I can just switch
[18:53] <roasted_> Anybody running Motion? I'm trying to configure multiple network cams but I'm having some confusion in regard to the /dev/video0 vs network cams in the config file. Anybody familiar with this?
[18:53] <arta_> schultza use ubuntu 11.04
[18:54] <bazhang> povoacao, lets move on please
[18:54] <piihb> escott: So, sudo apt-get adobe flash    ?
[18:54] <zbeefy> zacktu: then it must be okay, format it in Disk Utility
[18:54] <escott> povoacao, and its open source so you can start hacking on that. but it is not supported yes and it is certainly not supported here
[18:54] <violinappren> !id | arta_
[18:54] <zbeefy> zacktu: and assign a new partition table
[18:54] <escott> piihb, you may have to enable the partner repos
[18:54] <povoacao> will be good if ubuntu in the near future support this....
[18:54] <escott> !info flashplugin-installer | piihb
[18:54] <schultza> arta_: what program is trobol?
[18:54] <zbeefy> zacktu: but remember to format the drive, not the partition
[18:54] <o67pc> What is the file of we can change the ttl of linux?
[18:55] <yeats> o67pc: what does "the ttl of linux" mean?
[18:55] <arta_> thank  Boy....     saya mau coba rombak semua Ubuntu 11.04nya
[18:55] <piihb> escott: What's wrong with downloading from websites?
[18:55] <o67pc> yeats, the time to live of the packet delivered..
[18:55] <o67pc> yeats, i rementer is on /proc/net or something like that
[18:56] <escott> piihb, you start downloading from websites and you end up with an OS like microsh** win**ows and we wouldn't like that
[18:56] <arta_> im join http://www.ubuntu-id.org sedikit yang oooll
[18:56] <schultza> arta_: what language is that?
[18:57] <violinappren> arta_:  wrtie: /join #ubuntu-id
[18:57] <arta_> Indonesia Sir
[18:57] <o67pc> schultza: I think is germany?
[18:57] <arta_> I  am sorry not speak English
[18:58] <piihb> haha thanks, escott :P
[18:58] <zacktu> zbeefy: i let ubuntu have the entire drive when doing the install -- most of the drive was one partition, with also a partition for swap and one more i think
[18:58] <schultza> !indonesian | arta_
[18:58] <zbeefy> zacktu: and you installed grub on /dev/sda ?
[19:00] <zacktu> zbeefy: didn't install grub as a separate activity -- it's not been necessary for any installs that i have done before
[19:00] <arta_> okay
[19:00] <arta_> I've been following ubuntu.id, little is online
[19:00] <schultza> what other languages do you know well?
[19:00] <zbeefy> zacktu: then it installed itself automatically, and what, it didn't boot after that?
[19:00] <schultza> and im sorry. i dont know the program "trobol"
[19:01] <violinappren> schultza: misspelled trouble
[19:01] <androidbruce> has anyone had issues updating samba4 in 12.04?
[19:01] <schultza> well, there is a parser otu there spelled that way
[19:01] <Sysi> when I play music (mp3) with VLC after boot, sound crackles for a minute or a half and then starts working properly, sound output is set to be pulseaudio, some way to fix it?
[19:02] <schultza> arta_: what is the problem you are having?
[19:02] <zacktu> zbeefy: it won't boot -- all i get is a blinking cursor
[19:02] <violinappren> Sysi: only in VLC?
[19:02] <schultza> Sysi: if it happens in other programs as well, I'd suspect it's the file that has recorded static/crackling
[19:02] <zbeefy> zacktu: at which point, since the beginning of the bootup process? Is BIOS set to boot off of this drive?
[19:03] <WoLf> Hello everyone, I've just updated my ubuntu installation to 12.04 and I'm having an issue trying to fix a problem.. I can't get tleds to work anymore, and it's listed as removed from this version..
[19:03] <arta_> does anyone else
[19:03] <arta_> plans for remastering my internet needs
[19:03] <arta_> can help to provide advice or guidance on how the process of remastering...
[19:03] <bazhang> arta_, UCK
[19:03] <bazhang> !uck | arta_
[19:03] <Sysi> violinappren: I don't have other players installed, what should I compare with? something with gstreamer, mplayer?
[19:04] <bazhang> arta_, read that link First
[19:04] <violinappren> Sysi: download mplayer or gnome-media-player
[19:04] <violinappren> !remaster | arta_
[19:04] <zacktu> zbeefy: i've had it as the top -- also below the CD and used bios to select the hard drive when i wanted to test so i know that i'm trying to boot from the disk
[19:04] <WoLf> Is it removed cause it was not compatible anymore, or just cause it was obsolete? If so, which apt source can I add to retrieve it again without having to completely remove 12.04?
[19:04] <tim`> is anyone very familiar with the linker updates in 12.04? I am trying to link against an existing .so file but it is missing some symbols - I'm wondering if moving 11.10 to 12.04 could have caused this due to the whole non-exporting of symbols of dependent libraries business ?
[19:05] <ankush_> Hi, I have just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my Dell Vostro 1450 intel core i3, after installing some softwares, i  tried to restart, but now it freezes on purple loading screen, need help in diagnosing the problem
[19:06] <zacktu> zbeefy: i've booted system rescue cd and tried 2 options: 1) find a linux system and boot it; 2) boot from the hard disk ---- #1 works and #2 doesn't
[19:06] <zbeefy> zacktu: linux will be read from the CD into the RAM, so it will work
[19:07] <arta_> sorry sir
[19:07] <arta_> whether there is a translation language chat here?
[19:07] <arta_> I apologize for using the new ubuntu
[19:07] <zbeefy> zacktu: is it a laptop?
[19:07] <UncleSlippyFist> hello, everybody! I was simply wondering if there's an easy way to get a tiling window manager up and running? I don't feel like dealing with toooo much configuring
[19:07] <wilee-nilee> !bootinfo | zacktu for your mbr and grub problems
[19:08] <arta_> I apologize for a long time back, because I have to translate in google traslate first
[19:08] <Escherial> hey, anyone happen to know if support for realtek wireless adapters has improved at all in 12.04? i tried installing it earlier, but was unable to work on account of being unable to connect to wireless routers that used any kind of encryption (WEP, WPA, etc.)
[19:08] <zbeefy> zacktu: try manually disconnecting the drive and connecting it back
[19:08] <piihb> escott: I'm having trouble with the Adobe download...
[19:09] <escott> piihb, details
[19:09] <Escherial> had to go back to 11.10, which paradoxically has better support for my rt3040 (which it recognizes as an rt2800pci for some reason)
[19:09] <arta_> thanks for the help pack
[19:10] <piihb> escott: I used the command: sudo apt-get install flashplugin non-free    It got to a certain point with the download and then said 'Processing triggers for update-notifier-common...[LINK]
[19:10] <piihb> escott: Just click the link?
[19:10] <ankush_> Hi, I have just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my Dell Vostro 1450 intel core i3, after installing some softwares, i  tried to restart, but now it freezes on purple loading screen, need help in diagnosing the problem
[19:10] <zacktu> zbeefy: this is a dell desktop -- i thought it would be a nice sandbox
[19:11] <escott> piihb, can you paste what you are seeing
[19:11] <UncleSlippyFist> is bluetile a viable tiling wm?
[19:11] <zacktu> zbeefy: i'll also ready over the suggestions on the thread that the bot sent - thanks for your help
[19:11] <zbeefy> zacktu: I remember I had problems like that once but that was because of bad sectors. I could only use the drive for storage.
[19:12] <WoLf> Nevermind my question I guess. there's so much stuff that went wrong in 12.04 I see now.. my apologies but I'm going back to 10.04 until it lasts.
[19:12] <zbeefy> zacktu: sorry I couldn't resolve it
[19:14] <zeidoz> is it possible to share a file in one user's home directory with another user?
[19:14] <piihb> escott: It seems that it was just taking it's time; no problems. Thanks!
[19:14] <Walex> zeidoz: if you set permissions (to 'group', 'other' or with an ACL).
[19:15] <escott> zeidoz, yes. unless you encrypted your home directory (that makes it harder). otherwise just create a group for the two users. sudo usermod -a -G newgroup username for both (DO NOT FORGET the -a) and chgrp filename
[19:15] <zeidoz> Walex: so chmod 777 should do it, right?
[19:15] <escott> zeidoz, 777 grants full access to everyone on the computer
[19:15] <zeidoz> escott: hmmm, still wouldn't work, not sure why
[19:15] <abhinavmehta> I'm bored with the traditional '$' or '#' character, displaying on my shell(terminal)….I want some new character as my Prompt. Anyone using something creative..?
[19:16] <zeidoz> well, at least i know it *should* work
[19:16] <zeidoz> oh, damn, nevermind
[19:16] <zeidoz> thanks escott
[19:16] <Sysi> violinappren: mplayer plays music fine when VLC gives broken sound, I guess I need new music player
[19:16] <escott> abhinavmehta, just change $PS1
[19:17] <abhinavmehta> escott: I know how to change, but I need some new character to change with..
[19:17] <Sysi> abhinavmehta: % or > works pretty well
[19:17] <abhinavmehta> Sysi: these are old too….isn't there some new-improvement.
[19:17] <yeats> abhinavmehta: that isn't really ubuntu support, is it?
[19:18] <abhinavmehta> yeats: I agree, it's not ubuntu support…but just asking fools here…if they are sing something interesting.
[19:18] <abhinavmehta> *oops folks
[19:18] <yeats> abhinavmehta: there's an offtopic channel: #ubuntu-offtopic - fyi
[19:18] <abhinavmehta> that's auto-correct sorry..
[19:19] <abhinavmehta> *using
[19:21] <abhinavmehta> yeats: ok, I've taken this to #ubuntu-offtopic, but guess what I was talking about was a very general topic.
[19:22] <zowsz> i need work have a nice day
[19:23] <zbeefy> zeidoz: zero doesn't give permission, one grants permission, now binary: 1 = 001, 2 = 010, 3 = 011, 4 = 100, 5 = 101, 6 = 110, 7=111,  each digit in 3-digit-binary-number (like 111) stands for READ WRITE EXECUTE respectively. Permissions are given to USER GROUP OTHER. Therefore permission 7 will grant a USER: read write and execute. The next consecutive 7 will do the same to GROUP, another consecutive 7 will do the same to OTHER.
[19:23] <zbeefy> I only hope I explained it clear lol
[19:23] <zbeefy> clearly*
[19:23] <zbeefy> But this is valuable
[19:23] <zbeefy> easy to calculate
[19:25] <conanbatt_> im using ubuntu server for my web application, on an ec2- amazon instance with 8GB diskspace.  I am running out of harddrive space, but i dont get why. Ive tried to use du or find to find large files or folders, but nothing is bigger than half a Gig

[19:27] <schultza> check log file sizes
[19:28] <schultza> then run through du with the /home /usr etc to find out where the data is all going.. -h for human readable
[19:28] <conanbatt_> tmp is 96k. I have deleted all my log files, which were decent, but none of them over 100 megs

[19:32] <negev> hi, i have a ubuntu 12.04LTS box configured as a pptp client. the vpn connects and everything looks fine, I can ping the remote endpoint etc, but if i do:  $ curl --interface ppp0 ifconfig.me    it hangs. tcpdump shows the traffic going out over ppp0 and valid responses coming back, all with correct ip addresses, so i am confused as to why this doesn't work. oddly if i specific:  route add ifconfig.me dev ppp0, it then works, but that doesn't help me if i want to be

[19:37] <hairy-dog> Does anyone know of any good NASA apps for Ubuntu?
[19:38] <carl-cbm> I am trying to configure the subpixel rendering on 12.04 - the best I can find online is a ref to a package 'ubuntu-tweak-tool' that is not shown in aptitude
[19:39] <OerHeks> hairy-dog, celestia is a nice skyviewer, never seen nasa apps besides openstack
[19:40] <fidel_> carl-cbm: there is ubuntu-tweak and gnome-tweak-tool (just to avoid name-confusion)
[19:40] <wilee-nilee> carl-cbm, ubuntu-tweak is a 3rd party with a PPA
[19:40] <UncleSlippyFist> oh lordy, I'm trying awesomewm. What did I get myself into?
[19:41] <flametai1> Hi everybody, would anyone know of a website or anything at all for getting themes for 12.04 LTS?
[19:41] <carl-cbm> the problem I am having is really bad font rendering  - when I move a terminal horizontally it does the thing where it looks like it is moving across a lot of black lines.
[19:42] <fidel_> flametai1: webupd8 reports about such things from time to time
[19:42] <schultza> conanbatt_ has a situation where du and df are not reporting the same thing for his system's disk usage
[19:43] <c0deMaster> I installed Macbuntu then removed it but now the globam app menu is not working, how can i renable it?
[19:44] <flametai1> fidel_, Thank you, I didn't even know this website existed. Seems very good for knowing about what's going on

[20:00] <schultza> hmm
[20:00] <maokei> !datarecovery
[20:03] <modernbob> is there a system-switch-mail for ubuntu

[20:05] <unkn-error>  like in " recovery mode"
[20:08] <OerHeks> unkn-error, the text that rolls on your screen in recovery or normal boot mode, are different anyhow. "text"option in grub is all there is.
[20:09] <guntbert> unkn-error: try to add "noquiet"
[20:10] <BlueWolf> Hi, Does reinstalling a computer with ubuntu clear out the registry? I am trying to learn more about the Linux operating system and I thought it would be good to know how to erase the registry so that no one can see stuff?
[20:10] <Aprel> The windows registry. No, ubuntu won't clear that
[20:10] <OerHeks> BlueWolf, mbr ?
[20:11] <unkn-error> sudo update-grub or sudo update-grub2? is there a difference?
[20:11] <schultza> BlueWolf: there is no registry like in windows in ubuntu. Ubuntu has a collection of config files throughout the whole computer though.
[20:11] <BlueWolf>
[20:11] <BlueWolf> Aprel: Ya a windows one.
[20:11] <BlueWolf> schultza: Is that cleared when one reinstall Ubuntu with Ubuntu or Windows?
[20:12] <unkn-error> BlueWolf: your nick was my nick name ten years ago :D
[20:12] <Aprel> BlueWolf: Only a windows reinstall will clear the windows registry. Or edit the registry manually
[20:12] <schultza> BlueWolf: in order to clear out the history, you will have to delete all partitions and start fresh. But keep in mind the hard drive keeps the last 7 bits per bit.. so it's still possible to get that information.
[20:13] <Aprel> BlueWolf: Though many "registry errors" reported by those "free-scan" online programs are just cons to get you to install tehir software
[20:13] <BlueWolf>
[20:13] <BlueWolf> unkn-error: Funny, Mine now :D
[20:13] <cccangel> Aprel, there is also the Win PE that can be used for offline registery edits...
[20:13] <schultza> BlueWolf: i dont mean to make you paranoid, but most hard drives are magnetic and will retain prior information.
[20:13] <guntbert> unkn-error: yes, there is a big difference, you probably want sudo update-grub
[20:14] <BlueWolf> schultza, Aprel: So is it possible for an experienced Hacker to recover sensitive information?
[20:14] <cccangel> schultza, lol... is that why some people will download programs to format their hd like 10 times with different methods?
[20:15] <schultza> BlueWolf: most companies that have what they consider top secret (not to be released to the world) will first do a DoD-7 level wipe and then destroy the hard drive physically.
[20:15] <Aprel> BlueWolf: yeah, if they have access to your hard drive. There are tools that can help ""permanently"" delete your data in Ubuntu
[20:15] <cccangel> BlueWolf, yes.  an experienced person can use fragmented data left in sectors on your harddrive to compose complete file headers then restore files.
[20:15] <unkn-error> BlueWolf: If I will gonna take your hardisk from your computer and run a data recovery software I will gonna see all the "pictures, banners" etc. from the site you visited
[20:15] <schultza> or if they are keeping it.. keep it on top secret level and just dod-7 wipe
[20:15] <maokei> whats the propper way to unmount a a harddrive in ubuntu sudo unmount /dev/sda2
[20:16] <unkn-error> BlueWolf: but if the hardisk is encrypted then I would not have a chance
[20:16] <mahsom> I need Yahoo messenger with support webcam and voice .
[20:16] <schultza> maokei: umount, not unmount
[20:16] <escott> maokei, you can also mount and unmount without sudo using "udisks"
[20:16] <Aprel> Bluewolf: something like dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/partition_you_want_to_wipe can help delete data permanently.
[20:16] <maokei> alright
[20:17] <schultza> escott: udisks?
[20:17] <escott> schultza, the backend that nautilus uses
[20:17] <Aprel> I say "help" delete because some organizations like the NSA only recommend phyiscal destruction of the drive to wipe it clean
[20:17] <cccangel> Aprel, BlueWolf , there is a program i stumbled into that can encrypt your harddrive with multiple layers...
[20:17] <cccangel> but its a pain to set up
[20:17] <unkn-error> BlueWolf: you may wish to "wipe" a hardisk, one pass is just enough - really, you will not need gutmann or etc. for home usage, and on a 74-80 gb hdd will gonna take about 2-3 or 4 hours depending by the controler
[20:17] <cancer> i want to remove these from jockey 'nvidia binary xorg driver, module kernal and VDPAU libarary'
[20:17] <schultza> Aprel: that's the 3rd stage in a 7-run wipe (DoD-7)
[20:18] <Aprel> ccangel: truecrypt?
[20:18] <cccangel> Aprel, yes thats the one
[20:18] <cancer> i want to remove these from jockey 'nvidia binary xorg driver, module kernal and VDPAU libarary'
[20:18] <unkn-error> tryecrypt is very nice, if you will not encrypt the whole hardisk
[20:18] <BlueWolf> schultza: I once Zeroed my hard disk, sorry don't know what the name is but it wipe everything off better that formating. Dose that delete all the information or can it still be salvaged?
[20:19] <Aprel> schultza: you mean they recommend certain steps before incineration of the drive? lol, what do they think can be recovered from an incinerated drive?
[20:19] <unkn-error> I currently speak with you guy's from a Sandboxed Brownser which resides in a Tryecrypt container
[20:19] <hairy-dog> Quick question: does anyone know any good sites for Ubuntu specific C++ programming so I can start programming applications for Ubuntu?
[20:20] <cccangel> unkn-error, lol... i couldnt ever sit through the process of setting truecrypt up. too lengthy
[20:20] <Aprel> BlueWolf: zeroing out completely an hdd probably makes it unrecoverable to most hackers.
[20:20] <guntbert> !ot | schultza unkn-error Aprel
[20:21] <BlueWolf> Aprel: But can information still be accessed and put back together?
[20:21] <cccangel> hairy-dog, look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=656721
[20:22] <cccangel> hairy-dog, scroll down and look at the think available
[20:22] <hairy-dog> thank you
[20:22] <unkn-error> BlueWolf: I really need to write an article about this subject, I hope it will be ready in two weeks
[20:23] <BlueWolf> unkn-error: And you point on Earth is? :D
[20:23] <cccangel> BlueWolf, if your data isn't wiped up with the programs that offer DoD 7 wipe, then it can be recovered
[20:23] <amh345> is anyone here using google authenticator?  having a problem where it's not accepting my password
[20:23] <cccangel> but also realize BlueWolf that technology is not perfect (ever) so if someone is motivated to do anything, it can be achieved
[20:23] <cccangel> period
[20:23] <BlueWolf>
[20:24] <BlueWolf> cccangel: What exactly is "DoD 7 wipe" ?
[20:24] <unkn-error> BlueWolf: will be www.marcelcuculici.tk
[20:24]  * cccangel goes to google
[20:24] <Aprel> BlueWolf: it's more of a security question. Probably not, especially without physical access to the drive. The CIA, NSA, or government security organization in your area will have a much more detailed analysis of how to have complete piece of mind when destroying sensitive ddata.
[20:24] <unkn-error> BlueWolf check this out: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1211/~/how-to-low-level-format-or-write-zeros-(full-erase)-to-a-wd-hard-drive-or-solid#windlg

[20:27] <salvatore> virtual box
[20:28] <salvatore> any solution?
[20:28] <BlueWolf> So basically the only people able to recover data from a hard disk that has been zeroed is CIA and other government authorities?
[20:28] <BlueWolf> Not basic hackers?
[20:29] <Aprel> BlueWolf: Not necessarily, but they'll share some tips with you on how you can fullyd estroy your data
[20:30] <guntbert> BlueWolf: please move that discussion (to #ubuntu-offtopic for instance) - it has nothing to do with ubuntu-support
[20:30] <Aprel> salvatore: are you using the phyiscal cd for the install or a ripped iso?
[20:31] <salvatore> physical cd

[20:42] <escott> modernbob, check /etc/alternatives

[20:44] <escott> modernbob, no its a directory of symlinks
[20:45] <modernbob> escott: don't see anything that looks like postfix.. is there a system-switch-mail for ubuntu
[20:45] <escott> modernbob, update-alternatives is designed to interface with /etc/alternatives
[20:46] <modernbob> escott: how do you use it
[20:47] <escott> modernbob, is bsd-mailx an mta>?
[20:48]  * Hayro #cvv2 #cvv2 #cvv2 #cvv2
[20:48]  * Hayro #cvv2 #cvv2 #cvv2 #cvv2
[20:48] <escott> modernbob, i think update-alternatives --list mailx should list the options

[20:51] <Aprel> salvatore_ I looked that error online but didn't find much useful. Most people said it's from a burned copy of a win-install cd, and it's some copy-protection remnant from MS, it seems
[20:52] <escott> modernbob, "update-alternatives --list mailx" printed nothing?
[20:53] <BFranks> Reading https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/ftp-server.html  .. it claims that vsftpd allows anon login by default.. yet both the 'ftp' and 'anonymous' users give me 'bad password' failures?
[20:54] <modernbob> escott: just said no alternative to postfix.. so my issue is this.. postfix doesn't appear to be listening ...  but when I do netstat its listening.. no mail though from outside. when I poke that port from outside machine postfix isn't there even though in main.cf protocal is all and interface is all

[21:16] <skyl> I guess `apt-cache search` is the way
[21:16] <nug700> where would i go to download ubuntu 10? it doesn't seem to be in the download section on the ubuntu website.
[21:16] <Dr_Willis> the ftp servers i thought had all the old iso versions.
[21:17] <Dr_Willis> you mean 10.04 ?
[21:17] <nimei> Hi. Is there some option such as: '--ask-me-everything-at-the-start-and-then-do-it-automatically' for the Ubuntu Server ISO installer?
[21:17] <schultza> !pastebin
[21:17] <nug700> yes
[21:17] <Mr_Spray> good evening all, I am running 12.04 LTS and I ran update-manager last night and after the updates I rebooted.  Update-manager will no longer run (script errors), anyone able to help if I pm the error?

[21:20] <nimei> Also: is there a way to replicate an ubuntu install on another machine? (the same exact packages/configuration/everything that runs on this machine)
[21:21] <ohad> hello
[21:21] <MonkeyDust> !clone| nimei
[21:21] <svasdasd>   /dev/disk/by-id
[21:22] <zykotick9> nimei: the !clone factoid looks after package installation, but you'd need to copy configs separately
[21:22] <nimei> MonkeyDust: would that also replicate all the configuration and user folders ($HOME)? Is it enough to just copy it verbatim?
[21:22] <ohad> why does my brightness bar have only 6 phases? during restart it has more phases but when entering ubuntu, there are only 6. under 10.04 I had more options...
[21:22] <nimei> MonkeyDust, zykotick9, good, thanks. :)
[21:23] <Dr_Willis> nimei:  if you want a exact clone, you can use clonezilla. or get fancy with dd
[21:23] <Dr_Willis> nimei:  but if the pcs are going to be on the same lan you would need to change hostnames and so foth
[21:23] <guggero> zykotick9: thanks for the hint about the UUID. I was searching on the wrong end. I now changed my ZFS configuration to use /dev/disk/by-id/ instead of just /dev
[21:23] <MonkeyDust> nimei  and don't forget to backup personal documents
[21:23] <nimei> Dr_Willis: yes. they are on the same LAN. 'dd' seems an interesting option.
[21:25] <Dr_Willis> nimei:  if to more then 1 pc.. clonezilla is an amazeing tool
[21:25] <Dr_Willis> even for one pc to antoerh pc.. its very handy
[21:25] <nimei> Dr_Willis: would grub work after 'dd'? I mean, probably different disk ids or such stuff.
[21:25] <Dr_Willis> nimei:  the uuids would be the same.
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> nimei:  if the HDs are differnt sizes you would need to fix that also.
[21:26] <escott> nimei, dd is low level so you can capture everything, but that raises the question why would you want to capture everything.
[21:26] <Sargun-Work> How much disk space does the default ubuntu pool take up
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> dd even copies the empty space. ;)
[21:26] <nimei> Oh.
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> dd most likely copies dark matter btween the hd tracks.. ;P
[21:26] <nimei> Well, since that will take forever I think I'll probably try clonezilla first or the factoid.
[21:27] <nimei> Thanks to everyone for the hints. :)
[21:27] <E144> I just boot a livecd with both drives on the computer and copy paste XD
[21:27] <ohad> no one encountered this??
[21:27] <escott> Sargun-Work, depends on how much you install 10-20Gigs is sufficient for a fully loaded desktop
[21:28] <E144> But clonezilla is good too mainly for copying disks when theyre dying or ur attempting file recovery
[21:28] <escott> ohad, you can dig around with acpi stuff in /sys
[21:29] <ohad> I want to change the increments for each click on the Fn+brightness button

[21:37] <Aprel> Just downloaded oracle's java runtime (I need it over openjdk). I extracted the tar file and it has a bin dir and a lib dir but no install script. What's the proper way to manually install binary files from an extracted tar?

[21:38] <L3tops> yggdrasil: sorry I am very tied up trying to get this guy that is only on a few hours at a time on the other side of the world to run annoying to figure out code.
[21:38] <L3tops> yggdrasil: but if that is what we were doing, anyone can help you.
[21:38] <escott> Aprel, i would imagine unpack it to /opt and then change /etc/alternatives symlinks with update-alternatives to point to your version in /opt

[21:41] <klync> .... having weird problems with autofs after changing a user's numeric id
[21:41] <Aprel> escott: ah, I see. curious: is there any disadvantage to just changing the link at /usr/bin/java to point inside /opt?
[21:42] <escott> Aprel, update-alternatives is the way you are meant to do things
[21:46] <Aprel> escott: oh, just realized now that update-alternatives is a program designed for this thing (on hearing it, thought it was a dir full of symlinks). thanks.

[21:53] <prodigel> hi all. I have a partition/mbr problem. I have a big extended partition which I've resized to create some 50 GB of free space at the end, and from windows I've created a new ntfs partition in that space. I wanted to be on the safe side with all this, but the contrary happened. Now grub is corrupted, gparted shows me 'unallocated partition' while fdisk sees them properly. The data is there, as I can mount the linux partition without problems. Is there an
[21:53] <prodigel> easy way to fix this? Thanks
[21:54] <prodigel> ... now I'm using a live usb drive to check all this
[21:54] <Yewbacca> Hi. Does anyone know how to tune the Samba server in Ubuntu to make a folder with 30000 files faster over the network? Actually, the issue is this: If I mount the SMB sharepoint and view it in a terminal and just type "ls", I get a super fast listing of all files. The issue is that Mac OS X does the equivalent of ls -l, by requesting attributes and modification times for every freaking file.
[21:54] <Yewbacca> The result is that it takes like half an hour to open the folder. Can samba somehow cache file attributes and return them faster? :S
[21:54] <escott> !paste | prodigal send us the output of sudo parted -l /dev/sdb
[21:55] <Frank-N-Steen> prodigel, how is grub involved?
[21:56] <Frank-N-Steen> prodigel, Did you move the front of a Linux partition?
[21:56] <prodigel> Frank-N-Steen, after rebooting from windows it give me an error,  and the recovery console
[21:57] <prodigel> Frank-N-Steen, didn't touch the start of the partition, I've made it smaller, taking from the end, no movement

[22:03] <arooni-mobile> hi folks; trying to run meld: Invoking 'patch' failed.  Maybe you don't have 'GNU patch' installed,or you use an untested version of Git. ..... dont know what to do now
[22:04] <unkn-error> sysv-rc-conf show me some runleveles this is why I was asking, because I really need to disable some services
[22:04] <escott> arooni-mobile, in what way would meld depend on git?
[22:04] <arooni-mobile> escott, no idea... i'm running it on a git directory
[22:04] <arooni-mobile> escott, but thats the error message i get
[22:04] <unkn-error> I have too mutch ram "eaten"
[22:05] <escott> arooni-mobile, have you set meld as your git merge tool?
[22:05] <linux4u> just for it to come out the other end unkn-error
[22:05] <arooni-mobile> escott, i'm just running meld from the command line
[22:05] <arooni-mobile> escott, meld . in the git directory
[22:06] <unkn-error> linux4u: huh?
[22:06] <escott> arooni-mobile, i would try running meld outside the git dir just in case there is some weird interaction there
[22:06] <nimei> unkn-error: how are you looking at how much ram is being eaten?
[22:06] <linux4u> NM

[22:09] <escott> arooni-mobile, yes and we are trying to figure out what the problem is. so why dont we start by seeing if something specific to that directory is the problem
[22:09] <Him> Hi all. I'm trying to connect to a Netgear Wifi Range Extender that I bought, but it keeps giving me an error. Something along the lines of it being a .local domain and incompatible with avahi. Anything I can do to remedy this?
[22:10] <catmistake> hello. looking for a little direction... with getting teh wireless card up on my edgy box (don't laugh... sick uptimes, does whats needed). old a22m died, swapped drive into t43 and it boots... would love teh wireless cared to work... not sure where to begin. is there an chan for old ubuntu installs?
[22:10] <arooni-mobile> escott, well i can open it on a different directory ;  and open files there

[22:11] <escott> arooni-mobile, what is the command you are running to start meld in that git dir
[22:11] <escott> linux4u, if you know what you are doing sure. remember to use the alternate installer
[22:11] <Frank-N-Steen> prodigel, but follow Jordan_U as well you are in good hands.
[22:12] <unkn-error> nimei: thank you really, I was google for this but I did hit only unnoficial sites
[22:12] <nimei> unkn-error: np. :)
[22:13] <linux4u> escott, is it another iso?
[22:13] <escott> !alternate | linux4u
[22:14] <prodigel>  Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/puxRZ6WW
[22:14] <arooni-mobile> escott, meld .
[22:14] <linux4u> escott, I am doing server? is there an alternate for server?
[22:14] <catmistake> followup... bah... nevermind... sources won't work on edgy, obviously... if i can find the debs i can install the stuff i need. thx for teh quick response. carry on.
[22:15] <escott> arooni-mobile, when you run it that way it does something to parse the .git directory. evidently it doesnt like your version of git.
[22:15] <escott> linux4u, i dont think so, but you could also try !minimal and install the ubuntu-server target
[22:16] <prodigel> Frank-N-Steen, when trying to grub-install it complains: bad boot flag | Embedding is not possible.  GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists.  However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. | will not proceed with blocklist
[22:16] <arooni-mobile> escott, should i try a different version of git?
[22:16] <Jordan_U> prodigel: The starting sector for sda7 is 2,941,963,786 but your drive only has 976,773,168 sectors.
[22:16] <escott> arooni-mobile, i dont know how you would but sure
[22:17] <linux4u> escott, so the default server iso should allow me to do software raid?
[22:17] <prodigel> Jordan_U, the windows partition manager probably f**ed it up. I saw something strange looking there, but I continued on it, as I couldn't do more about it
[22:17] <escott> linux4u, is the server iso otherwise a normal debian installer?
[22:17] <Jordan_U> prodigel: Please watch your language, obfuscated or otherwise,
[22:18] <prodigel> Jordan_U, sorry about that
[22:18] <zaki> hi all i need help on wifi on ubuntu 12.04

[22:19] <nodestool> hi zaki
[22:19] <zaki> hi nodestool
[22:19] <Frank-N-Steen> better than me anyway, lol
[22:19] <Jordan_U> prodigel: Try the utility "fixparts". It's good at figuring out how things actually should be. If it can't get you to a state where all your partitions are readable try testdisk as well (which can search your drive to find where filesystems start/end and create a new partition table based on that information).
[22:19] <nodestool> zaki: what is your question
[22:19] <dbummy> clear
