[14:25] <z3r0_> some how
[14:25] <z3r0_> *G*
[14:25] <greg606> MestreLion: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1069199
[14:25] <MestreLion> not sure what is the default in 12.10... in precise it's 12.4, and AMD already released 12.6, 12.8 and 12.10, all stable...
[14:26] <greg606> I used ati proprietary
[14:26] <greg606> stable yes...
[14:26] <greg606> ;)
[14:27] <MestreLion> greg606: yes, there are some issues with 12.10 and ati proprietary for the Radeon HD 7000 series
[14:27] <kelye> hello, how can I change the terminal behaviour to act like putty terminal ?
[14:27] <greg606> MestreLion: could it be my mouse problem?
[14:27] <kelye> (selecting copies the selected part)
[14:27] <lmg> MestreLion: any news? (did someone reply to your call)
[14:28] <MestreLion> greg606: its hard to tell. Have you tested a similar setup using 12.04 ?
[14:28] <mneptok> greg606: why not revert to the included "radeon" FLOSS driver and see if the mouse behaves properly?
[14:29] <MestreLion> greg606: you may also remove the ati proprietary and use the free source drivers, and see if the mouse still hangs
[14:29] <MestreLion> just to test if the problem is related
[14:29] <guang_> how to uninstall ubuntu?
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> greg606: what AMD GPU do you have?
[14:29] <greg606> MestreLion: i have uefi  + win8 - damn hard to setup, i'm happy i did. not willing to move everything .
[14:29] <greg606> ActionParsnip: 7950
[14:30] <MestreLion> guang_: no operating system provides and "uninstall" feature. You simply delete its partition and revert the boot loader
[14:30] <Angells>  vbfbv
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> greg606: then I suggest you report a bug
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> MestreLion: Ubunru via wubi does :)
[14:30] <Angells> free irc shell find?
[14:30] <greg606> ActionParsnip: I can't while using unsopported drivers
[14:30] <MestreLion> ActionParsnip: hum, true. But again, not a "real" OS :P
[14:30] <mneptok> Angells: not in this channel.
[14:31] <Angells> but where?
[14:31] <mneptok> Angells: also, not a question for this channel
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> MestreLion: it is, its just stored in a file on NTFS and loop mounted at boot :P
[14:32] <MestreLion> greg606: if you don't want to install 12.04 (it usually installs fine with windows and other ubuntus, specially if you already have grup installed and working), then your best test would be to remove the catalyst driver and test the free radeon ones
[14:32] <MestreLion> ActionParsnip: humm, nice. I never knew how wubi did its magic :P
[14:33] <greg606> MestreLion: i'll try
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> MestreLion: 'magic' in the loosest term :D
[14:33] <mneptok> Wubi's magic is usually along the lines of "Watch me pull a hat out of a rabbit!"
[14:34] <MestreLion> ActionParsnip: but then, same procedure: delete it (file instead of partition) and fix boot (windows boot selection instead of mbr's grub)
[14:34] <MestreLion> ActionParsnip: I assume wubi also installs a windows software that does exactly that?
[14:34] <mneptok> MestreLion: Ubuntu is listed as an installed app in Windows' "Add/Remove Programs" i believe
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> MestreLion: oh totally, you can do it manually but there is an item in 'programs and features' to do it for you
[14:37] <GunArm> can anyone help me?  my file system seems to have switched to read-only in the middle of a package upgrade, and now any sudo command returns 'bus error', top returns IO error, uptime gives a seg fault.  What could cause this?  Can I reboot?
[14:37] <MestreLion> would be neat if wubi also has a feature of installing "for real" and dd'ed the file to a parttion, so you keep all installed programs and settings
[14:37] <MestreLion> maybe it does have it already
[14:38] <compdoc> GunArm, when there are read/write errors, the FS swiches to read-only
[14:38] <compdoc> can you run the disk utility?
[14:38] <GunArm> which one?
[14:38] <morethananoise> hey, I've got problem with my ubuntu 12.10, i've just upgraded and nothing works.. Unity doesn't even show up, my mouse cursor disappears randomily, anyone can help..?
[14:38] <GunArm> probably not if
[14:38] <compdoc> gnome disk util
[14:39] <GunArm> compdoc: no i'm sshed in to my headless server
[14:39] <compdoc> click the Dash button and type in disk
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> morethananoise: what video chip do you use?
[14:39] <compdoc> you have smartctl installed?
[14:39] <GunArm> i think so
[14:39] <morethananoise> ActionParsnip: I use amd radeon hd 4200
[14:39] <compdoc> GunArm, try: smartctl -a /dev/sda
[14:39] <MestreLion> GunArm: rebooting seems your only choice, considering you cannot run any commands. You can deal with interrupeted package  installs later
[14:39] <compdoc> or whatever drive
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> morethananoise: then you'll want this: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy.html
[14:40] <GunArm> compdoc: yeah i have to sudo it and it gives a bus error
[14:40] <compdoc> GunArm, use sudo fdisk -l    to list the drives
[14:41] <compdoc> if you dont use sata, is wont be sda
[14:41] <velho> hello folks! how can I run Windows inside Linux? I can't remember the name of the progra... thanks!
[14:41] <GunArm> anything with sudo gives a buss error
[14:41] <compdoc> if its raid, it wont work anyway
[14:41] <MestreLion> velho: I'm very fond of VirtualBox
[14:42] <GunArm> i guess I'll have to reboot, but unfortunatly, I cant reboot over ssh if I cant do sudo, so I have to wait until my girlfriend wakes up at home and have her yank the plug out of the wall
[14:42] <GunArm> if I cant sudo I dont see any better way to reboot
[14:42] <MestreLion> GunArm: are you able to open other ssh sessions?
[14:43] <Nach0z> GunArm: why cantcha sudo?
[14:43] <mah454> After receive this message in syslog : Nov  2 18:09:17 SkyNet kernel: [  161.001911] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: PCI INT A disabled
[14:43] <GunArm> MestreLion: ill trye
[14:43] <mah454> My mouse disabled !
[14:43] <mah454> How can fix this problem ?
[14:43] <GunArm> Nach0z: some kind of file system error on my root mount
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> GunArm: you can always boot to root recovery mode and reinstall sudo there, may help
[14:43] <Nach0z> GunArm: oh. you tried rebooting into the recovery prompt?
[14:43] <velho> MestreLion, thanks ;)
[14:43] <compdoc> mah454, new system? old system? it worked before?
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> mah454: usb mouse or touchpad?
[14:44] <MestreLion> guys, he's ussing ssh, so no sudo = no reboot
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> MestreLion: gah
[14:44] <GunArm> ActionParsnip: well sudo itself works (by itself it gives command options), but I think its more to do with being locked out of sbin or something
[14:45] <MestreLion> GunArm: try to open another connection, just to see if the machine is dead
[14:45] <Nach0z> GunArm: you tried manually specifying command paths?
[14:45] <mah454> ActionParsnip: I use laptop , I connect mouse to system and after some second mouse disabled (Laptop Dell Vostro 3350)
[14:45] <Nach0z> s/command/executable
[14:45] <GunArm> interestingly no I can't log into a new ssh, possibly because there is that script at login that checks how many packages there are to upgrade which is crashing
[14:45] <velho> MestreLion, do you know VMWare?
[14:46] <MestreLion> velho: yes, but there is no native VMWare server in ubuntu repo
[14:46] <auronandace> !vmware
[14:46] <GunArm> MestreLion: fwiw I can navigate around my filesystem on this connection I had open, the machine isn't totally dead, just kinda useless heh
[14:46] <MestreLion> GunArm: non-sudo commands work fine?
[14:46] <velho> MestreLion, thanks! I was actually trying to find it there :D
[14:47] <mah454> compdoc: ActionParsnip : please view this paste : http://dpaste.com/hold/822966/
[14:47] <MestreLion> velho: install VirtualBox... it works great, and has a very nice GUI
[14:47] <Touhou11> Those VMWare instructions are out of date... VMWare player lets you create your own virtual machines now, not just use existing ones
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> mah454: does the touchpad work ok?
[14:47] <GunArm> MestreLion: yes, I can do "apt-get moo", but not "sudo apt-get moo"
[14:47] <mah454> ActionParsnip: yes work
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> Touhou11: you can edit it, its a wiki
[14:47] <MestreLion> GunArm: I mean commands that don't require sude :P
[14:48] <Touhou11> ActionParsnip: It requires a user account, you can't edit anonymously for some reason
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> mah454: how about if you unplug the mouse, wait a few seconds then shove it back in?
[14:48] <MestreLion> velho: do you specifically need VMWare ?
[14:48] <ActionParsnip> Touhou11: well yeah, that's how wikis work
[14:48] <Touhou11> Wikipedia lets you edit anonymously
[14:48] <GunArm> MestreLion: well some of them, i can cd around, and cat files, but "top" gives "-bash: /usr/bin/top: Input/output error"
[14:49] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, dude sence I got my apt-get update working with your help, it no longer see's any new updates at all??
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> Touhou11: then make an account, or report a bug
[14:49] <MestreLion> GunArm: can you write files?
[14:49] <mah454> ActionParsnip: mouse work ... but after some second disabled !
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> mah454: tried a different usb mouse?
[14:49] <mah454> ActionParsnip: yes
[14:50] <mah454> what is ehci_hcd  ?
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> mah454: are you using a USB3 port?
[14:51] <KsM> mah454: driver for the USB ports, basically
[14:51] <mah454> ActionParsnip: yes
[14:52] <mah454> How can fix this problem ?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> mah454: tried a USB2 port, you do realize that a mouse sends very little data
[14:53] <mah454> But ubuntu 12.04 have not this problem ! (I use ubuntu 12.10)
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> mah454: its worth exploring though...don't you think
[14:53] <GunArm> MestreLion: it seems like no, not even in ~ (which is the same partition), and some subfolders of ~ i cant even ls in
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> mah454: what do you hope to gain by using USB3 for mouse exactly?
[14:54] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, any thoughts about how to get my host to see the updates sence Oct 17th?
[14:54] <rainbowwarrior2> rl
[14:54] <rainbowwarrior2> hello
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[14:54] <GunArm> MestreLion: it seems like I dont have any options other than cutting power to the machine, which is just scary because I have a 10 TB raid array running on it
[14:55] <GunArm> although the raid array is still up and running (I can read and write to it) just not the / device
[14:55] <MestreLion> GunArm: i'd wait for someone with console access to check it out
[14:56] <flyer1229> hello
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> just seen a youtube vid. Mouse transmits 0.01Mbps to the system. What a waste
[14:56] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, yah "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: sounds good
[14:56] <velho> how can I see how much space is in my disc, inside ubuntu? thank you
[14:56] <donofrio> I thought a bunch of updates have come out, at least 30??
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> velho: df -h
[14:56] <tlopez> is there a webpage that shows if your laptop can run ubuntu from USB
[14:56] <tlopez> ?
[14:56] <MestreLion> GunArm: worst-case scenario, one could do a SysReq to nicely close all programs and shut it down
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: did the repos get 'hit' or were they 'ign'?
[14:57] <Parufito> hi! anybody knows if Gnome Classic is still available in Ubuntu 12.10 ? thanls
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> tlopez: check in the BIOS
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Parufito: install gnome-panel and log of, choose the new available session
[14:57] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, Most "Hit" a bunch "ING"
[14:57] <MestreLion> velho: open your home folder... you can also right-click "computer" for its properties
[14:57] <velho> ActionParsnip, thanks! any GUI?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: I can suggest you run this: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage
[14:58] <tlopez> I tried to install Ubuntu on my new laptop month ago , the laptop is new and expensive so maybe the drivers for linux have not come out yet for the hardware
[14:58] <abangmanja> cant upgrade ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. any help
[14:58] <GunArm> MestreLion: but even if I was to give someone root access to my server they couldnt ssh in.  interesting I never knew about this sys req thing
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> velho: there is disk analyser in dash if memory serves. You already know the space though....
[14:59] <abangmanja> ubuntu upgrade take forever to download
[14:59] <Parufito> thanks ActionParsnip. I have it in 12.04, but i was afraid that canonical decided to delete it from the repos. Thanks!
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> abangmanja: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades     use the Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended) method
[14:59] <velho> ActionParsnip, cool! way simpler :) thanks
[15:00] <abangmanja> im using main server is that what  you mean
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Parufito: You can always change desktop, there are 3rd party (unsupported) forks of gnome2
[15:01] <MestreLion> velho: even simpler: open your home folder (Nautilus) and go View-> Statusbar. That will always show the free space of your current drive
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> abangmanja: it shows how to upgrade from LTS to non-LTS  in CLI
[15:01] <Parufito> yes, but i preffer the gnome classic from ubuntu that is based in gnome3 but mantaining the simple gnome2 look :D
[15:01] <Parufito> i've tried some other without good feeling
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Parufito: if you install gnome-panel, you wil be using gnome3
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> Parufito: just with a different shell....gnome-shell
[15:01] <laumonier> hi ive got a problem on ubuntu my wifi internet conection is very slow unlike on my windows seven is there a way to fix this??any clue to help me?
[15:02] <MestreLion> Parufito: Cinnamon or MATE may be an option for you
[15:02] <onam> !ot
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> laumonier: what wifi chip do you use?
[15:02] <rainbowwarrior2> heh my mind has just gone blank and i have forgot what i was going to ask lol
[15:02] <Parufito> i've tried all and what worked better for me was the Gnome Classic in ubuntu 12.04... but i don'
[15:03]  * rainbowwarrior2 hugs Ubuntu 12.10 :o)
[15:03] <abangmanja> ActionParsnip thanks
[15:03] <Parufito> the only problem was if caninical decided to delete it in 12.10, but if you say that not, i'll keep it :D
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Parufito: you could use XFCE, its got the Gnome2 smell
[15:03] <abangmanja> im happy with LTS 12.04
[15:04] <MestreLion> abangmanja: +1. 5 years of support is a bliss :)
[15:04] <Parufito> i use xfce in my laptop :D is nice, but for my workstation i preffer the "gnome" stuff
[15:04] <MestreLion> blessing*
[15:04] <abangmanja> im trying to upgrade twice but fail now im stick to LTS
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> Parufito: XFCE is made using GTK
[15:05] <mad-leigh> when my wifi is slow I open a online radio as it seems to help boost the signal quality - adsl+2 .... just my 2 cents
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> is it possible to use mutter with Ubuntu 12.04 + Unity?
[15:07] <velho> MestreLion, awesome! :)
[15:09] <MestreLion> lmg: still there?
[15:10] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, ok finshed and no new packages - so I should be uptodate or is it broken?? just want to be secure cause I cannot have this desktop get exploited
[15:12] <MestreLion> lmg: I've found it! Looks like USC also uses data from "Ubuntu App Directory", which is an online catalog with complementary package information
[15:12] <GunArm> MestreLion: I stepped my girlfriend at home through REISUB and now it's back up and seems to be fine
[15:12] <MestreLion> lmg:  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-webcatalog
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: not sure dude, try a different server
[15:13] <Srini> Hi all
[15:13] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, always welcome an honest answer any day of the week ----- thanks for the tips you've been a awesome help, I'll rtry the dirretnt host
[15:14] <mN-> a
[15:14] <Srini> I am using ubuntu server 12.10 - seeing loads of issues doing apt-get --- getting 403 forbidden.... I am able to wget without problems, (I am behind a smoothwall )
[15:15] <JimmyJohnny> I just booted into KUbuntu 12.10 off of my 8GB flash drive.  Its USB 2.0. Im not so sure they should even encourage people to try the OS this way. It would probably drive people away. Unless  I am doing something wrong but I dont know what it could be.
[15:15] <Srini> I am new to Ubuntu... tried many things found from google... nothing worked.... :(
[15:15] <lmg> MestreLion: thank you - will check later - baby awake.
[15:16] <theFantasticTrol> kubuntu? isn't that like a fat version of unity?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: I try :D
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> Srini: can you ping the server?
[15:17] <JimmyJohnny> i think so, i really didnt read the details, its supposed to be a more graphically enhanced version of the vanilla Ubuntu, so i said, yeah let me try that
[15:17] <theFantasticTrol> it uses the kde desktop if im not wrong
[15:18] <theFantasticTrol> just usable for fast computers with good graphics cards really
[15:18] <skypce> hello guys, a problem with irqs can do the mouse slow after resume?
[15:18] <theFantasticTrol> not recommended on a usb stick lol
[15:18] <skypce> or irq problems freeze all the pc?
[15:18] <TheJelly> Is the hard drive performance penalty in a Wubi install significant?
[15:18] <JimmyJohnny> sounds right, Im not gonnna be able to form any opinions until I re-burn the ISO to a CD and just boot from that, running off USB is not worth it. My computer is good enough, got an i3-2105, just can't belileve the slow speed off usb
[15:19] <sevi> Hey guys,  i have a question regarding my webform. it cant connect to my serverside phpscript named connect.php. there is an syntax error on line 30. can anybody look at it? : http://pastebin.com/n6Ni1MEp
[15:19] <MestreLion> lmg: hummm, got it! I'ts the comment from the desktop file! check the source package for: ./release/freedesktop/blender.desktop
[15:19] <_val_> Hello. Did someone get spice-xpi addon working under firefox?
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> TheJelly: it will be directly affected by fragmentation in NTFS
[15:19] <theFantasticTrol> if you want a good usb linux system you should look into something like puppy linux
[15:19] <BluesKaj> JimmyJohnny, do you have a cdrom drive , the live cd is quite fast ..but i've never tried kubuntu on a usb stick
[15:19] <_val_> I've found a ppa, and added but can't seem to get it working. Any idea?
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> _val_: could try contacting the PPA maintainer
[15:20] <skypce> hello ActionParsnip
[15:20] <BluesKaj> JimmyJohnny, the live media versions are always slower then the real installed OS anyway
[15:21] <theFantasticTrol> if you want a ubuntu version try lubuntu or xubuntu, they are the least memory/cpu consuming ones
[15:21] <theFantasticTrol> for ubs that is
[15:21] <sevi> is this the right channel for my question? perhaps i need to be in php
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> _val_: did you read http://www.spice-space.org/docs/spice_user_manual.pdf
[15:22] <JuJuBee> got a laptop with a core duo 1.86 CPU and 4GB RAM and KDE and GNOME.  Gnome seems to run fine but when in KDE, the cpu utilization goes up and everything lags horribly.  Top shows CPU going up to 100% for kwin
[15:22] <skypce> hey , do you can invite me to #ubuntu-support?
[15:23] <_val_> ActionParsnip: yes reading now.. seem I've to get the sources.
[15:23] <_val_> Allright thanks. Going to compile it
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> skypce: get identified and you can walk in
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> skypce: I'm not allowed either, I'd ask in #freenode
[15:24] <skypce> ActionParsnip,  * Cannot join #ubuntu-support (Channel is invite only).
[15:24] <MestreLion> lmg: and it makes perfect sense to extract the "highlight" from there too: the description in the package is always in english, while the .desktop file info can contain several languages. So USC can show a package description in the user's own language
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: what GPU do you use?
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: are there any bugs reported?
[15:25] <MestreLion> lmg: if there is no .desktop file, or if the desktop contains no "Comment" field, then USC uses the 1st line of the "Description" field on package's debian/control file :D
[15:28] <gnagno> hello all
[15:28] <donofrio> ActionParsnip, ok this one is weird - I cannot change servers, I can test for best but the software sources screen just says on "main server"
[15:28] <x__> whats the best way to have a script run every 30 seconds or so, but not have multiple instances going at a time ??
[15:29] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: GPU : Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
[15:29] <wols> x__: cron and the first thing the script does is creating a lock file and checking it
[15:29] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: the laptop is actually one of my students'
[15:29] <wols> x__: and before it ends, releases the lock of course
[15:29] <gnagno> I just updated from precise to quantal, my video driver are totally screwed up, when I try to reinstall nvidia drivers the process hangs at update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-18-generic and stays there for hours... can someone help me please?
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> donofrio: edit /etc/apt/sources.list     and change 'archive.ubuntu.com' to 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com'
[15:29] <JimmyJohnny> I've tried booting UBuntu off the CD in the past and it worked a hell of a lot faster than bootinng off a USB stick.
[15:30] <x__> wols, yea I don't know how to bash script ;-P its an archive extracting python script someone else wrote that I am using manually atm.
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> JuJuBee: are there any bugs reported with KDE and the Intel 950 GPU?
[15:30] <wols> x__: you can do it in python too...
[15:30] <JuJuBee> ActionParsnip: looking now
[15:30] <x__> wols, well I don't know python, not a programmer :-P
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> x__: if you have a desktop UI, you can use gnome-schedule
[15:31] <x__> ActionParsnip, nah its command line
[15:31] <wols> ActionParsnip: it's not the cron thing that is the problem :)
[15:31] <x__> wols, this is the script https://bitbucket.org/markstahler/auto-extract-python/src/7ba39f76ebc50e11739300e5fde062312a1732f1/auto-extract.py?at=default
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> wols: i see
[15:31] <x__> the script creates an .unrared file in the dir to state its already done its business and not to do it again, so maybe I can just add a cron job and it will work fine already ?
[15:31] <lmg> brilliant find MestreLion. thank you, I'll take it from here :)

[15:33] <[diablo]> Good afternoon #ubuntu … Does anyone run Ubuntu 12.04 on a Viglen MPC please?
[15:33] <wols> x__: http://shoaibmir.wordpress.com/2009/12/14/pid-lock-file-in-python/
[15:33] <wols> !ask | [diablo]
[15:34] <Daneshvar> hi
[15:34] <[diablo]> wols, rem I did not ask to ask a question
[15:36] <auronandace> !anyone | [diablo]
[15:36] <Dshoe> Hey all, I have an 8GB flash drive I want to use but the last thing I did with it was restore an OS X install disk to it before I sold my MacBook. I tried opening Gparted and I got a message saying "The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes." My options are cancel and ignore, If I hit ignore then Gparted crashes.
[15:37] <x__> wols, so do I just paste that code in to the beginning of the script... ?
[15:37] <x__> wols, sorry experienced linux user, very very novice coder ;-P
[15:37] <JimmyJohnny> Dshoe you should install a bootable image of Ubuntu on a flash drive by itself, thats probably the safest thing to do
[15:37] <Dshoe> JimmyJohnny, and run gparted from there I'm assuming?
[15:38] <NikP> Hello.
[15:39] <JimmyJohnny> Dshoe i am not familiar with gparted, just saying if you want to try Ubuntu from a flash drive maybe its best to format the flash drive FAT32 as one partition, install the Linux image and run from there
[15:40] <Dshoe> JimmyJohnny, your misinterpreting my issue. I need to format this flash drive and can't.
[15:40] <Dshoe> Gparted (common tool) gives me an error and then crashes before creating a new partition table.
[15:40] <JimmyJohnny> Dshoe oh, not sure on that, I just did mine using Windows 7 with a right-click and then "Format"
[15:40] <NikP> Can I test with a command if my other PC in the network is online? (Sorry, I'm not so good in English ;-)
[15:41] <Dshoe> My issue is that this is formatted to an OS X partition table because the last thing I did with it was install a fresh OS X before shipping out my laptop.
[15:42] <Linkandzelda> hello, is there a PAE patch for 32 bit ubuntu to make use of my 16 GB ram on 32 bit machine?
[15:42] <JimmyJohnny> Dshoe, maybe there is a utility like "diskwipe" or something to simply zero out the drive, im a windows users for the most part, but windows 8 has me looking at taking a more serious look at linux
[15:43] <somsip> !pae | Linkandzelda
[15:43] <Linkandzelda> thanks a lot
[15:43] <DJones> Linkandzelda: If you're using 12.10, pae is enabled by default
[15:43] <Linkandzelda> even better than
[15:44] <Linkandzelda> im planning to use it tonight
[15:44] <Connorhd> I'm having a problem with uwsgi on ubuntu 12.04, when I use "service uwsgi reload" it reloads the first time, but not after that, it appears to be because the process name changes from uwsgi to uwsgi-core after the first reload. I'm not sure if there is a good place for me to report this bug?
[15:44] <DJones> Linkandzelda: The details are in the link from ubottu anyway
[15:44] <NikP> Can I test with a command if my other PC in the network is online? (Nice when I use SSH)
[15:44] <x__> NikP, what are you trying to test ?
[15:45] <rihen> hello
[15:45] <NikP> x__: What do you mean?
[15:46] <easy> I have an external hard drive with bad sectors.. my guess that its only the beginning of the disk.. how can I scan for bad sectors and then format the disk away from the bad sectors?
[15:47] <x__> NikP, your question made no sense to me, what are you trying to test through SSH ?
[15:47] <x__> easy, how many bad sectors ? and you can use the gnome disk tool.
[15:48] <NikP> x__: I would use it for remote maintenance
[15:48] <x__> easy, most drives will flag sectors that are bad to not be used, and they have a few extra ones to replace them, I have a 1TB HD that has 1 bad sector that came out of an external drive and has been fine and in usre for several years since then.
[15:49] <x__> NikP, ok, I still don't know what that means, just login via SSH and run whatever commands you want to use.
[15:49] <sevenforall> Hey. Can I use grep to select every file in a directy, except subdirectories and files ending with ".mkv"?
[15:49] <NikP> x__: Yes, that's it.
[15:49] <jrib> sevenforall: you could use grep, but you wouldn't.  You probably want to use find
[15:49] <sevenforall> jrib: Touché
[15:50] <sevenforall> jrib: How do I use find in a way it excludes .mkv files?
[15:50] <jrib> sevenforall: find has -not and -name.  I'd start there
[15:51] <sevenforall> jrib: I can't find anything about the -not option
[15:51] <_val_> Hi again. Trying to compile spice-xpi addon for firefox on precise. I'm getting this error: No package 'libxul-embedding' found
[15:52] <_val_> anyone any idea. Can't find libxul anywhere.. no sources, no ppa's nothing.
[15:52] <jrib> sevenforall: man find<Enter>/-not<Enter>      (where <Enter> means press your Enter key)
[15:52] <manoj> hi
[15:52] <jrib> sevenforall: you can also use "!", but I figured -not would be more self-explanatory :P
[15:53] <jrib> sevenforall: brb
[15:53] <krofna> How do I open executable file as sudo? If I type sudo ./my_executable it wont work..
[15:53] <jrib> krofna: that's how.  So be more specific about how it "wont work"
[15:53] <JMS32> When i'm trying to install ubuntu from USB it's write what can't mount CD
[15:53] <JMS32> What to do?
[15:53] <krofna> jrib: sudo: ./mapextractor: command not found
[15:54] <_val_> krofna: chmod +x ./my_executable  if this is a script.
[15:54] <sevenforall> jrib: I've skimmed through it and googled, are you sure there's a -not? :P
[15:54] <_val_> err.  chmod +x my_executable
[15:54] <jrib> sevenforall: yes... are you on ubuntu?  Why are you skimming and googling, just use the keystrokes I said above
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> JMS32: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[15:55] <krofna> _val_: that doesnt seem to do anything
[15:55] <sevenforall> jrib: The manual doesn't add any useful information, hehe
[15:55] <jrib> _val_: what you said would work too :)
[15:55] <jrib> sevenforall: there are some examples that use !, if you want to search for that. What do you have doubts about?
[15:55] <_val_> jrib: ./my_executable is not a valid filename I guess.
[15:56] <_val_> I mean passing it as a parameter to chmod
[15:56] <krofna> It is. And no, its not a script, its compiled executable..
[15:56] <jrib> _val_: you provide a path to chmod, ./my_executable is fine
[15:56] <sevenforall> jrib: I'm using "find -not *.mkv" which doesn't get me anything but a usage error
[15:56] <JMS32> ActionParsnip, yes. 4bd3270bde86d7e4e017e3847a4af485 All is ok
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> krofna: if you run:  ls  do you see the file?
[15:56] <jrib> sevenforall: you want a -name in there
[15:57] <krofna> Yes
[15:57] <jrib> sevenforall: you also want to probably enclose '*.mkv' in quotes
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> JMS32: installing server?
[15:57] <sevenforall> jrib: Okay, a bit further now
[15:57] <sevenforall> Thanks
[15:57] <jrib> krofna: it's probably something that tries to run inside the file that it can't find
[15:58] <dr_willis> the thing to rember is the 'shell' is the one expanding wild cards.. unless they are quoted and passed to the command.  sevenforall .
[15:58] <dr_willis> sevenforall:  like    echo *    vs   echo '*'
[15:58] <JMS32> ActionParsnip, yes
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> JMS32: it doesn't have a desktop UI you know, is that what you desire? It's all CLI based.....
[15:58] <JMS32> ActionParsnip, I'm know what i'm doing, thanks
[15:58] <yup> Hello
[15:59] <sevenforall> jrib: Can I get find to ignore hidden files also? (a)
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> JMS32: just checking, loads of people install server wanting a desktop system. Calm down
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> JMS32: let me search some
[15:59] <Pnoexz> JMS32: if you knew what you were doing, you wouldnt be here
[16:00] <yup> I'm trying to mount ntfs partition with mount.ntfs-3g cmd like this
[16:00] <yup> mount.ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/windows -o uid=0
[16:00] <yup> but after mounting /mnt/windows is owned but user with uid 1000
[16:00] <_val_> so anyone any answer about my question?
[16:00] <savid> Anyone here using Ubuntu-Gnome 12.10?  I'm a bit confused about GOA vs. UOA.
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> JMS32: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127398/usb-drive-install-of-ubuntu-12-04-server-fails-cant-find-components-from-cd-r
[16:01] <_val_> anyone any idea. Can't find libxul anywhere.. no sources, no ppa's nothing.
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> savid: https://debarshiray.wordpress.com/2012/10/06/goa-why-it-is-the-way-it-is/
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> !find libxul
[16:02] <_val_> ActionParsnip: I am compiling a source which requires this lib.
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> _val_: seems to be in the app already, have you ran:  sudo updatedb; locate libxul
[16:03] <_val_> ActionParsnip: done.
[16:03] <_val_> /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so
[16:03] <_val_> /usr/lib/thunderbird/libxul.so
[16:03] <dr_willis> wonder if its part of the firefox source
[16:03] <_val_> But the source code does not find it.
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> _val_: you may need to symlink those back to /usr/lib    to make it be found
[16:04] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get build-deps firefox   should pull in needed dev packages that may have it included.
[16:04] <dr_willis> but that seems overkll
[16:04] <_val_> http://pastie.org/5172451
[16:05] <jrib> sevenforall: sure. just use a similar expression that matches for names that start with a '.'.  And look into -and
[16:05] <_val_> this is the error when compiling
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> _val_: link is broke for me
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> ahh its ok now
[16:07] <_val_> messing for 3 hours now. Can't seem to find anything that works.
[16:08] <javierf_> hi all! Since some days, my indicator-messages is broken in ubuntu 12.10. Well, it was working fine after I upgraded, and now it swithches colour when I get a notification. But when I open it, there are all the rows (one for each status state, unity-mail one, facebook one...), but with blank text: there is nothing, just empty rows. Even, if I get a message, it changes colour and in the message line, it appears the minutes have passed since I got the messa
[16:08] <javierf_> ge, but no text (then, I kind of guess what arrived depending on the row). This happened a week after I tried to configure the colour changing indicator depending of the status. Nothing in google. Someone knows what can be happening? Thanks!
[16:08] <_val_> anyway. Got to go now. I'll check another time.  Thanks ActionParsnip .
[16:11] <TomyLobo> hi
[16:11] <sasori> any nvidia gpu masters in here who can help me with this problem??? You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[16:11] <sasori> asus u30sd gt520m
[16:11] <Aleksander> Hello. Do you know what's wrong with xorg-video-abi-12 on 12.10? Neither -12 or -11 has an installation candidate
[16:11] <TomyLobo> i noticed that the hibernation in 12.04 is disabled by default. and earlier my system booted instead of unhibernating.
[16:11] <Aleksander> sasori, paste your xorg.conf
[16:11] <dr_willis> sasori:  normal routine for me is install the os, 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' (reboot) then run nvidia-settings.
[16:11] <TomyLobo> is that why it's disabled by default?
[16:12] <sasori> dr_willis: thats exactly what i did to lead me to this problem
[16:12] <sasori> unfortunately
[16:13] <sasori> i then tty out, and stoped ldm, or whatever its called and tried nvidia setting again, no avbail
[16:13] <sasori> Aleksander: not tooo good with that, where can i find that??
[16:13] <dr_willis> i dont even need an xorg.conf for my nvidia ssytem on 12.10
[16:13] <Aleksander> sasori, gksu gedit /etc/xorg.conf
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> TomyLobo: as far as I know, if your setup doesn't support it then it will be disabled
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> Aleksander: not /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:14] <Aleksander> ActionParsnip, ow right
[16:14] <Aleksander> my bad, sorry
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> Aleksander: ;)
[16:14] <Aleksander> sasori, it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:15] <JMS32> ActionParsnip, i can't find suitable answer in that link..
[16:18] <daschel> I have switchable graphics cards (intel/amd) and have tried installing drivers for them.  when I try to install via additional drivers, i can no longer use any DE besides gnome 2.  everything automatically falls back to it.  installing from the amd website completely breaks the X server.  does anyone have a solution for using gnome 3 with the appropriate graphics driver?  alternatively, I dont particularly do anything in linux that necessitat
[16:18] <daschel> es the amd card, so the intel chip would be sufficient, but the fan seems to run needlessly and I figured that was a driver issue.  would it be better just to use a temp monitor/fan speed control
[16:18] <sasori> Aleksander: thanks for the files dir, where should i paste?
[16:18] <sasori> pm?
[16:18] <JMS32> When i'm trying to install ubuntu from USB it's write what can't mount CD. How to fix it? MD5 is ok. It's server version
[16:19] <Aleksander> sasori, http://pastebin.com/ and then give me a link
[16:19] <sasori> Aleksander: lol... ok... but now cause this totally mangled my setting everything is in huge mode, give me a sec :)
[16:20] <Aleksander> huge mode?
[16:21] <sasori> Aleksander: the resolution is at lowest possible..... since i tried to install nvidia
[16:21] <sasori> Aleksander: http://pastebin.com/SWfeVERj
[16:21] <Aleksander> sasori, what *buntu and/or DM are you using?
[16:21] <xpistos> Hello all. Is there a way that I can pause and ftp download and close the connection that will enable me to come back to the ftp site later and resume the download with out corruption?
[16:21] <Aleksander> xpistos, wget
[16:22] <r0tha> wget has a feature that starts where you left off
[16:22] <Aleksander> and if you don't like the console, you can find basically any download manager out there
[16:22] <r0tha> man wget
[16:22] <xpistos> Aleksander: I will have to check if godaddy allows that
[16:22] <sasori> Aleksander: i just switched to kubuntu 12.10... i couldnt do ubuntu unity anymore... i tried... but i cant.
[16:22] <xpistos> sasori: I went to gnome3 and it was good
[16:23] <Aleksander> sasori, I know that feeling, I just switched to Unity Ubuntu from GNOME Arch
[16:23] <Aleksander> sasori, what's your normal resolution?
 TomyLobo: as far as I know, if your setup doesn't support [hibernate] then it will be disabled
[16:24] <Aleksander> sasori, try "xrandr -s 1280x1024" or whatever your max res is
[16:24] <sasori> Aleksander: yah.... the closest i got was accepting mint with cinnamon, which was nice, but eventually, had to change b/c of hang issues
[16:24] <TomyLobo> i'm on a brand new laptop. the hardware shouldnt be a problem
[16:24] <sasori> Aleksander: yah but that wont allow me to chenge the actual nvidia controls, which is the problem
[16:25] <dr_willis> actually 'brand new' as in just released to the market - can be a bigger problem with drivers...
[16:25] <sasori> Aleksander: basically i need that so i can turn laptop montior offi, shut lid, and use external monitor
[16:25] <Aleksander> sasori, so the problem is that nvidia-xconfig tells you you're not using nvidia kernel module?
[16:25] <Aleksander> sasori, run 'lsmod | grep nvidia'
[16:25] <Aleksander> sasori, brb
[16:26] <roror> Hi. having some trouble with apt-get. the result of apt-get upgrade is here: http://pastebin.com/tAgJcRSR . Can you please help?
[16:27] <sasori> Aleksander: as soon as i open server settings it says i need to run a command as sudo, forget what it is and cant get it, cause it crashed and need to log out.  lol.  anyways, the command you gave me to run outputs this : nvidia              11257759  0
[16:29] <Aleksander> sasori, sudo runs command as a root
[16:29] <bigbadben> I am  trying to install bitcoin qt and this error came up after I installed the PPA and changed the source to mavrrick
[16:29] <Aleksander> as an administrator
[16:29] <bigbadben> https://gist.github.com/4002451
[16:30] <Aleksander> sasori, this means that you have nvidia up and running
[16:30] <Aleksander> sasori, please paste 'sudo nvidia-settings' and tell me what happens
[16:30] <Aleksander> it needs your user passwrod
[16:30] <r33P33r> heya
[16:31] <sasori> Aleksander: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[16:31] <Aleksander> sasori, hmmm.
[16:31] <sasori> Aleksander: and have run it a few times now

I use Ubuntu 12.04 and the latest versions of all software (this issue is all the same on older revisions of the software though). The problem is that if I use the fglrx driver (which I need to), specific websites crashes Firefox. For instance www.inet.se crashes Firefox every time if the fglrx driver is activated. Any ideas?

[16:47] <duri> just loaded 12.10 on a Dell 820 laptop where 12.04 was working just fine. now UI is really slow. is the slowness all determined by Unity and Dash. Will it get faster if I switch to a different windows manager such as Xmonad or Unity 2d ?
[16:47] <savio> will editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg will do thing?
[16:48] <mns`> duri, i would back to 12.04 lts for stability
[16:48] <savio> but how could i comment multi line
[16:51] <iceroot> savio: depending on the editor you are using
[16:52] <savio> iceroot, i'm using nano . but how this is depend on editor
[16:52] <iceroot> savio: i thought your question is "how to comment multiple lines with one command"
[16:52] <JimmyJohnny> has anybody ever tried booting into unbuntu off a usb stick and had 'useable' performance? I did it but was too slow to endure
[16:53] <savio> iceroot, no i just want to disable windows entry from grub menu
[16:54] <Nickeeh> i want to develop a game on Ubuntu, but I can't figure out where glBindFramebuffer() is, for example. Where can I find it?

[16:56] <Juggie> Hi All... I am running 10.04.4LTS... if I do a dist-upgrade w/ LTS is that going to upgrade me to 12.04.1LTS or 12.10?
[16:56] <searching> a lot of users have this problem
[16:57] <dd_> juggie, I think it will bring you to 12.04
[16:57] <iceroot> Juggie: dist-upgrade will NOT upgrade your ubuntu version
[16:58] <searching> blazemore u are live?
[16:58] <iceroot> Juggie: but the normal upgrade process when you want to upgrade the ubuntu version will bring you to 12.04
[16:58] <savio> iceroot, i add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub
[16:59] <Gnea> !ppa
[16:59] <dd_> iceroot, juggie, but remember backing up your files, the jump from 10.04 to 12.04 is big so the risk of breakage is higher
[16:59] <Juggie> iceroot, oh I was under the impression it would my mistake.
[17:00] <iceroot> !upgrade | Juggie
[17:00] <Juggie> ah right,  I see now.. 'do-release-upgrade' it mentions it when I og into shell.
[17:00] <Juggie> K, thanks I will read.

[17:08] <Deluxo> Hello everybody! Does any one know how to user gtk.textbuffer.serializate function??? I've been searching the web for this about a day now, still have no clue
[17:08] <i7c> awaad: that can only be handled by your browser/pdf reader imho.
[17:08] <Deluxo> gtk.textbuffer serialization*
[17:08] <dr_willis> awaad:  seen auto copy to clipbord extensions for browsers. your app could monitor the clipbord i guess.. but that seems like it could grab info/words from anything.
[17:09] <Deluxo> or at least someone maybe knows how to specify mime-type in gtk.textbuffer.serialize ?
[17:10] <Deluxo> i know it has to call Gdk.Atom. But other than that i cannot figure out
[17:11] <n00b982>  wow there are 1700 people here
[17:11] <dr_willis> n00b982:  its a slow day
[17:11] <awaad> i7c, dr_willis: There is some application which implements this methodology called "KTranslator". Introduction on its site says the following:
[17:11] <n00b982> this is a ton of people
[17:11] <n00b982> more than the #freenode channel
[17:12] <dr_willis> n00b982:  seen 3000+ here on release day
[17:12] <n00b982> wow dr_willis
[17:12] <awaad> i7c, dr_willis: There is another application called "KTranslator". Introduction on its site says the following:
[17:12] <awaad> i7c, dr_willis: The main idea behind KTranslator is to translate a word without disturb the application in use. So, when the user selects a word while pressing CTRL key, KTranslator will try to translate the word and show the result in a popup window. It behaves like Babylon for Windows.

[17:22] <svm_invictvs> Hey, how does one install Jetty 8 on Ubuntu?
[17:22] <svm_invictvs> When I use the package tool, it will install jetty 6, but not Jetty 8.
[17:23] <gordonjcp> svm_invictvs: grab the source and look at how the jetty 6 package works?
[17:23] <svm_invictvs> gordonjcp: So it's not packaged for distribution, is it?
[17:24] <dr_willis> for newer versions  look for a PPA, or in backports
[17:24] <svm_invictvs> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jetty8
[17:24] <svm_invictvs> I see that...
[17:24] <savid> I'm following this guide for customizing an ubuntu package: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpdatingADeb .  How do I change the --configure args within this process?
[17:25] <svm_invictvs> dr_willis: What is ppa?
[17:26] <awaad> i7c, dr_willis: Do you have any idea, where to start ?
[17:26] <dr_willis> !ppa
[17:26] <i7c> awaad: read the source code of this other appliciation you talked about?
[17:27] <awaad> i7c: It is written in C++ which I don't have good knowledge about.
[17:27] <munim> Hey.. I am having a bit of an issue with virtual box. I had an ubuntu guest with NAT and Host only networking set up on my ubuntu host.. I updated to ubuntu 12.10 today, and installed virtualbox again and set up the guest with the same VDI. the guest ubuntu doesnt seem to have any network adapters set up now
[17:28] <bekks> munim: You could join #vbox as well.
[17:28] <munim> bekks, thanks

[17:54] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, You are missing part of grub see this link for using the bootrepair tool on purging and reloading grub, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Purging_.26_Reinstalling_GRUB_2
[17:55] <Gerowen> Question, when I do apt-get update I get an error from one of the repositories, I'm guessing it's where I initially attempted to install skype from the software center before downloading it from their site.  What effect would disabling this repository have?
[17:55] <Gerowen> W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/commercial-ppa-uploaders/skype/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[17:58] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, You need the grub bootloader in sda that is the HD mbr, it has windows there now, I assume the bootrepair loads it.  You can chroot to the ubuntu install and do all of this from a command line as well.
[17:59] <tomy222> wilee-nilee: yes I have already done but without sucess
[17:59] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, Done what?
[18:00] <lloowen> Hello all. Does anyone know where I can find the repository URL's for 11.04 so that I can copy and paste them into /etc/apt/sources.list?
[18:00] <wols> Gerowen: no effect
[18:01] <wols> tomy222: you need to (re)install grub
[18:02] <tomy222> wilee-nilee: I have tried to reinstall grub from ChRoot enviroment
[18:02] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, using a 12.10 cd?
[18:02] <overclucker> lloowen: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[18:02] <tomy222> wilee-nilee: yes
[18:03] <tomy222> wilee-nilee: yes from usb kez
[18:03] <tomy222> wilee-nilee: yes live key
[18:03] <lloowen> overclucker: Thanks but that does no longer have 11.04
[18:03] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, did you run apt-get purge grub-pc grub common apt-get install grub-pc grub-common
[18:05] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, basically as one line it can be run as apt-get purge grub-pc grub common && apt-get install grub-pc grub-common
[18:05] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, THen when asked where to put grub it would be sda
[18:06] <juril> Hi there.. I'm setting up serial console access for ubuntu 12.10.. I refer to the documentation (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto), but /etc/event.d/ttyS0 doesn't seem anymore the right place for the upstart script. I think the right place now is /etc/init.d/, do I need to change anything regarding the script itself? Thanks!
[18:06] <_cronus_> lloowen, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com
[18:06] <trism> juril: /etc/init/ for upstart scripts now
[18:07] <hm> Hi! I did a fresh ubuntu install on my comp but for some weird reason, my grub is over-written as soon as I restart my comp. Any clue what might be the problem?
[18:07] <arlo> hello are there are nice people some can help me to open port 80 on my router
[18:07] <arlo> we can use teamwiewer to remote..
[18:07] <trism> juril: see the karmic and newer section of that wiki page
[18:07] <hm> I'm on windows right now btw. can go to ubuntu via live-usd if needed
[18:07] <rephy222> anyone know how i uninstall a script
[18:07] <juril> trism, /etc/init is full of .conf files.. I put my ttyS0.conf there.. just this?
[18:07] <trism> juril: yes
[18:08] <juril> trism, cool! thanks :)
[18:08] <rephy222> i got a dnsproxy. script so i could enable wildcards in my hosts file
[18:08] <cool_boy> HI guys!
[18:09] <Dandao> hi
[18:09] <rephy222> and it didnt work out so well anyone know how i could remove it
[18:09] <cool_boy> I want to intall ubuntu 12.04 from removable disk
[18:09] <cool_boy> for that which setup I need .iso or what?
[18:09] <frenk_> lista
[18:09] <dr_willis> rephy222:  how did you install it?
[18:09] <gordonjcp> rephy222: how did you insta
[18:09] <gordonjcp> heh
[18:09] <rephy222> it was a python script
[18:09] <dr_willis> cool_boy:  you can put the iso in a 'live' setup on excternal media you then boot/install from
[18:10] <dr_willis> rephy222:  thats telling us very little.
[18:10] <rephy222> cool_boy: yeah u need an iso and i would use unetbootin to install it on a thumb drive
[18:10] <dr_willis> cool_boy:  12.10 only has the desktop or server iso's :) if you want a desktop install iuse the desktop...
[18:10] <dr_willis> pendrivelinux has alternatives to unetbootin as well to make a bootable external install usb.
[18:11] <overclucker> lloowen: it looks like natty is still in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ so, as long as you use the official repos, you can replace the dist with natty and it should work
[18:11] <wilee-nilee> hm, Boot the ubuntu live cd get this app and just run the bootinfo summary and post the url to it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[18:11] <arlo> hello are there are nice people some can help me to open port 80 on my router, we can use teamwiewer to remote.

[18:12] <blakes> Does anyone know if there is a CUPS alternative for 12.04.  Cups (1.5) crashes whenever a printer is added, whenever a Mac prints a postscript job and if three people submit a job at the same time.

[18:13] <dr_willis> rephy222:  if all it edited was your hosts file. then check that file and undoo its changes.. or check the scripts docs and see if it has a undo feature

[18:21] <onewithhammer> thats what i am trying to do
[18:22] <rephy222> try 755
[18:22] <onewithhammer> i do not want the other user that is in a different group able to open the file or folder thats why i set it to 0
[18:23] <rephy222> first number is root second is non root and third is any other

[18:26] <tomy222> wilee-nilee: Yes I could do, but then I lose the connection to the chat
[18:26] <blakes> onewithhammer, the home folder above your shared folder must be 777... that would be bad
[18:26] <onewithhammer> this is what i typed in termal" chomd 750 /home/user1/work_file
[18:27] <onewithhammer> this is what i typed in termal" chomd 750 /home/user1/work_file/work-sheet

[18:31] <tomy222> wilee-nilee: No
[18:31] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, Hard plug the computer then try the grub install, I assume you have purged it.
[18:32] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, You can restart a chat I have to go anyway to vote, I'm in the US.
[18:33] <tomy222> wilee-nilee: Ok I can try but I m definitly connected to the internet

[18:33] <kev^> i can ping google too
[18:34] <tomy222> kev^: wow
[18:34] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, Cool, I am not real experienced here other then to know the commands, it looks like maybe the repo it is calling is incorrect, I don't really know how to fix that from a chroot.

[18:38] <svm_invictvs> What am I missing here?
[18:38] <svm_invictvs> sudo apt-get install jetty8 ought to do it correct?
[18:39] <dfgas-cr48> when i apt-get purge mysql-server it does not remove all the databases and such, how do i do this?
[18:39] <k1l_> ubottu: !find jetty8

[18:39] <svm_invictvs> gordonjcp: That's Jetty 6
[18:39] <gordonjcp> svm_invictvs: maybe jetty 8 isn't packaged

[18:41] <svm_invictvs> Ah..
[18:41] <k1l_> svm_invictvs: then there is only jetty 6 like you can see in my link above
[18:41] <livingdaylight> k1l_: mint is using ubuntu
[18:41] <livingdaylight> k1l_: mint channel dead
[18:42] <k1l_> so either you consider an upgrade to 12.10 (which is not lts, and i wouldnt recommend) or you find a ppa for that

[18:44] <k1l_> livingdaylight: the mint channel is on antother irc network. see the message. and mint and mate are not supported here. ask the mint guys they should know whats up
[18:44] <Guest35155> am i connected?
[18:45] <Hammerhead2010> I installed sysv-rc and aptitude says it's there....but there is no executable
[18:45] <Guest35155> whats the best program to shut down my kids computer from mine?
[18:45] <Hammerhead2010> So frustrating
[18:45] <rsumi> wilee-nilee: i followed the instructions to boot from an iso but grub is not prompting me to select where to boot when the computer starts. it just has the computer splash screen
[18:45] <rsumi> suggestions?
[18:45] <svm_invictvs> k1l_: Why not just upgrade?
[18:46] <Hammerhead2010> And why is /etc/network/interfaces not being looked at anymore....
[18:46] <k1l_> svm_invictvs: most server admins prefer the stable and long term support releaases
[18:46] <Hammerhead2010> almost makes me wnat to go back to Gentoo....
[18:46] <rsumi> because my system is all messed up from performing upgrades. gnome and xfce are unstable
[18:46] <k1l_> Hammerhead2010: it is. but if there is nothing edited in it the NetworkManager does the work
[18:47] <lissyx> Hello
[18:47] <ignacio__> hello, install doom3 but only opens with 32bit colors and I have 16 bit, is there a command to run with 32bit colors without having to configure the xorg.conf?
[18:47] <lissyx> did someone noticed Xorg cpu spikes when using gnome-terminal .
[18:47] <lissyx> ?
[18:47] <svm_invictvs> !ppa
[18:47] <k1l_> Hammerhead2010: for most user its way easier to let the interfaces alone and configure the network through the NM. but you can use the interfaces if you want. just go ahead
Thats the part that's killing me...there is I have 2 interface manually configured...yet the routes(static) i have in it do not get looked at... This was not a problem in 11
[18:48] <ignacio__> hello, install doom3 but only opens with 32bit colors and I have 16 bit, is there a command to run with 32bit colors without having to configure the xorg.conf? please help
[18:48] <__SUCKER__> hi
[18:48] <svm_invictvs> k1l_: Honestly, fuck it, i'll just manually install Jetty 8
[18:48] <unrar> One quick question; my 2GHz CPU was shown as 800MHz with lscpu, then with Granola I "overclocked" it to 2000MHz (which is what it should be), is it normal?
[18:49] <__SUCKER__> no, it's not. you're a phrik
[18:49] <__SUCKER__> freak
[18:49] <k1l_> !ops
[18:49] <ignacio__> hello, install doom3 but only opens with 32bit colors and I have 16 bit, is there a command to run with 32bit colors without having to configure the xorg.conf? please help
[18:49] <DJones> !guidelines > __SUCKER__
[18:49] <svm_invictvs> k1l_: thanks
[18:49] <__SUCKER__> !guidelines
[18:49] <unrar> some intelligent answer?  I tried to disable the network manager with sysv-rc or bum...but sysv-rc apt-get install does not produce a binary....
[18:50] <unrar> In other distros such as... Mint, I think, it didn't happen
[18:50] <bekks> unrar: Then Mint has no reasonable power management.
[18:51] <unrar> another thing, if I have installed a NVIDIA driver, why does the CPU activity increases from 8% to 50% when I put the mouse over the launcher?
[18:51] <lissyx> Hammerhead2010, just declare your interface normally in interfaces(5) and nm won't touch it
[18:51] <Guest38790> which version of java should i use for  my brwoser and application..?? jdk7 or jre7 ?
[18:52] <bekks> Guest38790: As long as you dont want to develop Java applications, you'll be fine with the JRE.
[18:52] <MrBushido> are there any good tools for ext filesystem integration with windows explorer? I know its kind of off topic, but i figured people in here are more likely to know than #windows
[18:52] <Guest38790> bekks : i dont want to develop application
[18:52] <k1l_> Hammerhead2010: im not too much into the network stuff to know what you fiddled there already. but from a clean install: if you configure an interface the NM doesnt touch it.
[18:53] <MrBushido> are there any good tools for ext filesystem integration with windows explorer? I know its kind of off topic, but i figured people in here are more likely to know than #windows
[18:53] <MrBushido> ugh, sorry, missclick
[18:53] <bekks> MrBushido: No.
[18:53] <Benxyzzy> Anyone know of a quick way I can find out if my shell is sitting inside a screen session? Sometimes I forget :/
[18:53] <bekks> Benxyzzy: press ctrl-a-d
[18:53] <Benxyzzy> bekks: You're saying, if I'm not in a screen it'll do nothing?
[18:54] <bekks> Benxyzzy: Correct.
[18:54] <Benxyzzy> Sorry for the obvious question
[18:55] <Guest38790> which version java should i install openjdk-jre or openjdk-jdk?
[18:55] <sava> !list
[18:56] <Leoneof> is there a way to download all packages for offline purpose?
[18:56] <Leoneof> like DVDs
[18:58] <bekks> Leoneof: All packages would need about 80GB.
[18:59] <Leoneof> bekks: i guess it's almost ~40 Gb
[18:59] <rephy222> say i run a script that makes some changes is there some sort of log to read to find out whats been done
[18:59] <bekks> Leoneof: Still far too much to put on a DVD.
[18:59] <Guest38790> which is the fastest cd/dvd burner?
[19:00] <Leoneof> bekks: separating them? :/
[19:00] <wilee-nilee> rsumi, I have never booted with a ISO from grub so I can't really help there, but if you make a thread on the UF right now with booting ISO from grub problem I suspect you will get a quick answer.
[19:00] <rephy222> because i ran a script from this site http://code.google.com/p/marlon-tools/source/browse/tools/dnsproxy/dnsproxy.py
[19:00] <rephy222> and its slowing down my connection
[19:00] <brandon420> can someone help me install nightingale?
[19:01] <chipotle> will any touchscreen laptops work with ubuntu? thanks!
[19:01] <tomy222> wilee-nilee: /etc/resolv.conf was not setup in ChRoot env
[19:01] <nb-ben> hi is there a way for me to use 2 different workspaces on 2 monitors?
[19:01] <brandon420> chipotle, yeah, they will.
[19:01] <nb-ben> so that each monitor uses a different workspace
[19:02] <brandon420> nb-ben, that would be cool, but i dont think that you can.
[19:02] <wilee-nilee> tomy222, I had wondered if the chroot was good.
[19:02] <chipotle> brandon420 what drivers do you need to get the touchscreen capability?
[19:02] <chipotle> i can't find anything online...
[19:02] <nb-ben> yeah I don't think so aswell so I figured I'd ask
[19:02] <brandon420> i have been using dual monitors for awhile and never seen a option like that.
[19:02] <nb-ben> maybe someone found a way :D
[19:02] <nb-ben> I think you could run 2 different X clients on them
[19:03] <rephy222> i was trying to edit my hosts file so i could use wildcards and i think it turned on a proxy and i wanna turn it off
[19:03] <nb-ben> I mean X servers
[19:03] <nb-ben> one for each monitor
[19:03] <nb-ben> but that would be completely different X environment
[19:03] <systems7> hello, does anyone now how to set up a 2 pin button switch to a serial port?
[19:03] <nb-ben> systems7, try ##hardware
[19:03] <brandon420> chipotle, https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/quantal/xinput-calibrator/
[19:05] <linkandzelda> damn, can really nobody help me?
[19:05] <brandon420> what was your question?
[19:05] <vvpalin> your all alone, everyone else has been taken over by the zombie apocalypse
[19:06] <brandon420> i always knew link would be the last one standing.
[19:06] <linkandzelda> regarding mac mini 2011, doesnt even get to the grub bootloader when booting from CD or USB
[19:06] <vvpalin> sorry linkandzelda its just you, me and some crafty bots
[19:06] <brandon420> Yeah, I know nothing about macs, sorry man
[19:07] <jtrucks> vvpalin: good thing I prepared for the ZA!
[19:07] <abdostar> hello, I am about to install ubuntu, and I have a question about swap partition, do I really need, and does it really improve performance
[19:07] <brandon420> Did you make sure that you were booting to the right device? linkandzelda
[19:08] <brandon420> abdostar, how much ram do you have? ssd or standard hdd?
[19:08] <dfgas-cr48> how do i reconfigure a package like when it first installs?
[19:08] <linkandzelda> brandon420, natrually, it wont even boot the Plop bootloader cd either
[19:08] <linkandzelda> just gives me a black screen
[19:08] <abdostar> 4Gb and HDD
[19:08] <linkandzelda> im totally gutted ;/
[19:08] <rephy222> is there anyway to do like a restore on ubuntu to undo any changes within a timeperiod
[19:08] <abdostar> brandon420: 4gb and HDD
[19:09] <brandon420> abdostar, I don't see why you would need a swap space. But since you have a hdd, there would be no adverse effects of having it except the losing the space.
[19:10] <brandon420> linkandzelda, I would check the the bois settings. I have never touched a mac, so i dont know how much different they would be. Sounds like it is looking in the wrong place to me.
[19:11] <abdostar> brandon420: thank you, that's help. I was using linux mint, and worried about the GUI, will that be a challenge for me untill I get used to it
[19:11] <wilee-nilee> rephy222, Ubuntu does not have a restore function like windows. You might try explaining the problem in the form of a question.
[19:11] <linkandzelda> brandon420, it is looking in the wrong place, but its actually skipping the drives and trying to boot a windows partition whuch isnt there. the probem is, macs have no bios
[19:12] <wilee-nilee> not to me but the channel
[19:12] <systems7> hello, does anyone now how to set up a 2 pin button switch to a serial port?
[19:12] <wilee-nilee> dfgas-cr48, You need to tell the channel what the package is.
[19:13] <brandon420> abdostar, it should be alright. If you are new to linux i would start with ubuntu (the most documented distro) But mint is pretty user friendly from the get-go
[19:13] <brandon420> linkandzelda, let me google really fast.
[19:13] <rephy222> i installed a dnsproxy python script to allow wildcards in my hosts file and now i cant browse certain websites
[19:13] <dfgas-cr48> wilee-nilee, mysql-server
[19:13] <rephy222> and i wanna undo whatever the script did
[19:14] <abdostar> brandon420: thank you, sine all is clear now, I wil start formating and installing, see you guys later
[19:14] <rephy222> http://code.google.com/p/marlon-tools/source/browse/tools/dnsproxy/dnsproxy.py    this is the script
[19:14] <brandon420> abdostar, you are welcome, good luck!
[19:14] <linkandzelda> brandon420, ive been googling for almost 1-2 days now. but get this. as soon as i mention mac people have no idea, and i cant find a solution
[19:15] <linkandzelda> so, let me ask this
[19:15] <linkandzelda> what if it wasnt a mac?
[19:16] <brandon420> you would just change the boot order in the bois.
[19:16] <brandon420> it is much easier.
[19:16] <brandon420> have you tried holding down the "C" key while restarting it?
[19:17] <wilee-nilee> dfgas-cr48, I would ask in #ubuntu-server if you get no answer here.
[19:17] <linkandzelda> brandon420, iĺl try holding that C key i havent
[19:17] <brandon420> i see a few documents that say todo that
[19:17] <brandon420> http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Snow_Leopard_Installation_Instructions.pdf
[19:18] <rdk> sudo ln -s /path/to/phantomjs /usr/bin is not working for me. What wrong i am doing here?
[19:19] <linkandzelda> brandon420, black screen. cd starts spinning then stops, nothing
[19:19] <brontosaurusrex> linkandzelda: also if you are in osx, there is an option in prefs, for what will be next boot device
[19:19] <linkandzelda> brontosaurusrex, thanks, but using the alt key lets you select the device you want at boot, and thats what i been doing
[19:19] <brontosaurusrex> that should work
[19:20] <coz_> hey guys, I need to disable wallpaper fade in 12.04, the gtkrc thing  doesnt seem to work here.. any other suggestions?
[19:20] <brandon420> linkandzelda, are you sure that you made the disc correctly?
[19:21] <rdk> sudo ln -s /path/to/phantomjs  /usr/bin is not working for me in ubuntu. What wrong i am doing here? please help.
[19:22] <linkandzelda> brandon420, i used the same disc and same USB to install it on my macbook air
[19:22] <linkandzelda> you can see why this is making me rage, there is no reason why its not working
[19:22] <rephy222> rdk: what are u trying to do

[19:25] <rdk> rephy222:  I want to run a phantomjs scripts on my linux box, I have downloaded it and just want to run scripts.
[19:25] <brandon420> (always unplug all extra hardware when installing a new os)
[19:25] <brandon420> SailorMoon, i dont think so.
[19:26] <SailorMoon> brandon420: it was last edited today, and, Ubuntu on an Android device? Psh.
[19:26] <rdk> rephy222:  i can runt it now but for that I have to give a absolute path of phantomjs while running script from anywhere on machine.
[19:27] <brandon420> SailorMoon, there are alot of people that install ubuntu to their tablets, and phones.
[19:27] <coz_> hey guys, any way to stop wallpaper fade?
[19:27] <SailorMoon> brandon420: but not as a legit OS
[19:28] <SailorMoon> brandon420: They install ontop of Android. this is replacing android
[19:28] <coz_> on 12.04
[19:28] <brandon420> coz_, Thanks for helping me install cairo-dock awhile back. =)
[19:29] <brandon420> SailorMoon, oh, i have no idea then. Try it and let me know?
[19:29] <coz_> brandon420,   no problem, that must have been a while way back :)
[19:29] <SOLEIL> hi I want to know what's the best ubuntu for my netbook
[19:29] <SailorMoon> brandon420: feel free to smite me, but im not running ubuntu so i cant do it
[19:29] <coz_> SOLEIL,  I would assume the 12.04 LTS  ,,yes?
[19:30] <coz_> SailorMoon,  you are now smitten
[19:30] <SailorMoon> lol
[19:30] <brandon420> 12.10 isn't bad.
[19:30] <coz_> wait that means something else ;)
[19:30] <SailorMoon> ;)
[19:30] <SailorMoon> i would love the heck out of ubuntu, if it was real. Need to offer an actual installable rom instead of this weirdness
[19:30] <SOLEIL> I'm not sure about it, I always have to fix a lot of things to make all work
[19:30] <brandon420> and coz_ I think that the fading backgrounds are just a setting in the background settings.
[19:31] <coz_> brandon420,  ah I will check,, thanks
[19:31] <brandon420> I noticed that there is a time symbol on the ones that change.
[19:31] <coz_> brandon420,  well I dont mean the changing wallpapers I mean just the fading  when chaning from one to the other , but let me check
[19:31] <rdk> reph
[19:32] <bjrohan> Can someone explain to me ffmpeg and/vs avconv. When trying to run ffmpeg, I get a message to use avconv instead. I want to record my desktop with audio.

[19:34] <OerHeks> dougl, i used to use devilspie for that

[19:35] <gglitch> Hello Ubuntu people. I recently installed kubuntu-desktop, and having logged into it once, whenever I instead log into Unity as usual, my right-click context menu (among a few other submenus, like the save-as menu) looks like kwin. Any idea why that is and how I can revert it to Unity?
[19:35] <brontosaurusrex> bjrohan: perhaps visit #ffmpeg and ask ther
[19:36] <coz_> dougl,   you can open applications on any dispaly using compiz  with the settings manager
[19:36] <dougl> coz_, no command line for that?
[19:36] <brontosaurusrex> bjrohan: the version bundled is outdated and borken (thats what ffmpeg people say at least)
[19:36] <bjrohan> I shall brontosaurusrex I was looking here for the avconc message :-)
[19:36] <coz_> dougl,  I am sure there is,, just dont recall at the moment
[19:36] <dougl> I want xbmc to be on display 2 every boot
[19:36] <bjrohan> brontosaurusrex: I have downloaded a static version
[19:37] <dougl> coz_, k thaanks
[19:37] <brontosaurusrex> bjrohan: then it sounds like you are using the wrong one
[19:37] <coz_> dougl,   as i said that sould be able to be accomplished with compiz and xbmc in the start up apps
[19:37] <coz_> but
[19:37] <coz_> dougl,  you would have to test it
[19:37] <Guest58315> salut a tous
[19:38] <bjrohan> brontosaurusrex: the one that I have from the repo, that does work okay. I will switch to the Static built one and give it a go

[19:45] <SailorMoon> Still no one here educated on that ubuntu nexus page?
[19:46] <SailorMoon> it has a bugzilla page so it has to be real
[19:46] <SailorMoon> but why no rom
[19:47] <k1l_> SailorMoon: what do you mean?
[19:47] <husterd> pleaseplease help! after upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 the login screen cannot  appear? please help
[19:47] <SailorMoon> Aparently Ubuntu is officially available on the Nexus 7 tablet, k1l_.
[19:47] <k1l_> SailorMoon: yes i know. but which page are you talking about?
[19:47] <bjrohan> If someone can help with ffmpeg error I would appreciate it. I keep getting an error unknown import format alsa
[19:47] <SailorMoon> And im INSANELY interested in getting it but im running windows and the instructions are for ubuntu. i plan to try virtualbox later but still, it should be able to install itself  like anyrom
[19:47] <bjrohan> No one is in #ffmpeg
[19:48] <k1l_> SailorMoon: ah, now we come to the point of interest.
[19:49] <SailorMoon> k1l_: My main point being, why no rom installer, so that it can install itself?
[19:49] <k1l_> SailorMoon: you can ask the arm guys if there is a rom. #ubuntu-arm
[19:49] <Pelo> afternoon folks, I'M running gnome shell and I need to delete my current gnome-panel and make a new default one , the current one is un-responsive to alt-click and keeps popping up over full screen videos
[19:52] <husterd> pleaseplease help! after upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 the login screen cannot  appear? anyone?
[19:53] <Pelo> husterd, does it just freeze when the login screen should appear or do you just go straight into the desktop ?
[19:54] <Moopington> Hey, I just finished installing the gnome shell on a minimal ubuntu install, and I can't figure out for the life of me how to get to a terminal… :\
[19:54] <Pelo> Moopington, either from the application menu or crtl-alt-T
[19:54] <SailorMoon> k1l_: Theyre all dead now.
[19:54] <Moopington> Pelo: that was the first thing i tried.. there's no terminal application, and ctrl-alt-t does nothing..
[19:55] <ThinkT510> !eol | husterd
[19:55] <husterd> Pelo:  no if i reboot it shows the screen that says out of range and still like that
[19:55] <Pelo> Moopington, alt-f2 gnome-terminal
[19:55] <Moopington> I'll try that. thanks. :P
[19:55] <Pelo> husterd, that's beyond my expertise
[19:56] <Pelo> husterd, can you get to a console ? crtl-alt-f1 throught f6 ?
[19:57] <husterd> Pelo:  now i am working on a live cd and chating with you
[19:57] <Pelo> husterd, try installing instead of upgrading that might solve many problems
[19:58] <husterd> Pelo:  how coz i dont like to loose my folders on home
[19:58] <dougl> how do I start xbmc on my secondary display in my nvidia/twinview config in kde on my kubuntu 12.10 installation?
[19:58]  * Moopington sighs. "Command not recognized"
[20:00] <unheeding> is there a channel for GNOME3 Ubuntu users?
[20:00] <unheeding> I don't want to hang out with people using unity
[20:01] <Pelo> husterd, sorry , I was assuming that your /home was on a seperate partition , they you would not loose it , if this is above your skill level use the live cd to copy your /home to some other media ( usb key for exemple), then reisntall, you can then copy the /home data back to your hard drive
[20:03] <husterd> Pelo:  so there is another way not to make format?
[20:04] <Pelo> husterd, that's my best solution, someone else might know better,  try booting into the install you have now and seeif you can get into the console mode , from there maybe someone else can help you fix it
[20:04] <svm_invictvs> exit

[20:08] <bkfitz> Can someone tell me why port 1720 is showing as open on my server?  I'm using ufw but only allow 22, 80, etc
[20:08] <bekks> lsof -i
[20:08] <bkfitz> nmap shows 1720 open?
[20:09] <bkfitz> server is ubuntu 10.04 server
[20:09] <bekks> lsof -i on your server.
[20:09] <unheeding> has anyone found a cure for kswapd0 running at 100% CPU?
[20:09] <unheeding> i've searched high and low but haven't found a solution
[20:09] <bkfitz> lsof doesn't exsit on ubuntu server
[20:09] <unheeding> the only thing that stops it is  reboot
[20:09] <bkfitz> i guess i can apt-get it
[20:09] <wols> bkfitz: sudo netstat -anp |grep 1720  which process owns the port?
[20:10] <bkfitz> nothing
[20:10] <wols> then it's not open
[20:10] <bkfitz> nmap says it is though
[20:10] <mih1406> Why I have to buy FlareGet even it is an open source program?
[20:10] <bkfitz> nmap 66.288.57.208
[20:10] <onewithhammer> bkfitz are tou on windows?
[20:10] <wols> nmap is a crap software which is utterly useless for what you are trying to see
[20:11] <Guest47081> bekks, humm not sure what I am looking for
[20:11] <wols> bkfitz: can you connect to the port?
[20:11] <bkfitz> negative... ubuntu 12.04 laptop
[20:11] <bkfitz> wols: how should I try
[20:12] <wols> bkfitz: are you saing this port is open on  telnet  66.288.57.208 1720
[20:12] <wols> ?
[20:12] <bekks> Guest47081: For errors/hints what happened to your windows drive.
[20:12] <bkfitz> wols: i guess
[20:12] <bkfitz> wols: I'm confused
[20:12] <wols> bkfitz: really. IP 66.288.57.208 ?
[20:12] <wols> that is not a valid IP
[20:12] <bkfitz> wols: yes
[20:13] <bkfitz> wols: sorry <IP_ADDRESS> typo
[20:13] <randybo> Hey, I was wondering if I backup using the backup that comes with ubuntu 12.04 will it back up all my settings also? like compiz settings?
[20:13] <bekks> randybo: Depends on how you configure it.
[20:13] <randybo> how can I got about it so it does?
[20:13] <Guest47081> bekks, here is my dmesg output.
[20:13] <wols> bkfitz: telnet <IP_ADDRESS> 1720  tries to connect to the port you say is open. it won't connect cause it is not
[20:14] <Guest47081> bekks, opps sorry here you go http://pastebin.com/JBqbyrLQ
[20:14] <bkfitz> wols: then why would nmap show it open?
[20:14] <wols> bkfitz: cause it's faulty and has bugs or you are not able to use it properly
[20:14] <randybo> bekks: how can I go about it so it does?
[20:14] <bekks> Guest47081: How many disks do you have?
[20:15] <bkfitz> wols: all I'm doing is nmap IP :)
[20:15] <bkfitz> wols: maybe faulty/bugs???
[20:15] <bekks> randybo: I have never used that tool, I am creating backups with my own scripts, fitting my personal needs.
[20:15] <TomyLobo> grahh, i hibernated my laptop, wanted to power it up in the train to play some games, but somehow the stupid ecrypt lost my user folder... Logging in as usual, i get an unwindowmanagered windows saying "Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation."
[20:15] <wols> bkfitz: I ran nmap on it just now. and you have postgresql open to the world. bad idea
[20:15] <bkfitz> wols: temporary
[20:16] <bkfitz> wols: i know
[20:16] <TomyLobo> logged in via console, all that's to be found is some random crap explaining me to use ecrypt-mount-userdata or something
[20:16] <bkfitz> wols: it's a linode hosted box with no UI... so i open it temporarily to use pgadmin
[20:16] <Guest47081> bekks, I have a RAID5 hard drives that Ubuntu sees fine (3 partitions 4 GB, 1 GB , and 605 GB - these have an old version of Kubuntu installed) and I have a seperate physical HDD directly plugged into one of my SATA ports on my motherboard (this is the one with Windows installed)
[20:16] <TomyLobo> (which failed too, btw... said my password is wrong)
[20:16] <wols> bkfitz: learn to configure a VPN
[20:17] <onewithhammer> wols: did you scan him?
[20:17] <wols> yes I ran nmap on his host to check what he said about port 1720. and he was wrong: nmap doesn't show that port open at all
[20:18] <bekks> Guest47081: You are mixing up "partitions" and "drives" in a way I dont understand how many drives you have.
[20:18] <AndChat560000> Hi
[20:18] <bekks> Guest47081: How many physical disk drives do you have?
[20:18] <bkfitz> wols: :)
[20:18] <bkfitz> wols: ufw deny 5432. done
[20:18] <wols> bkfitz: but for the future, a VPN would be a good idea (imho)
[20:19] <wols> bkfitz: or even a ssh port forward
[20:19] <bkfitz> wols: agree... just never done it and haven't had time.. .but that nmap result is weird... did you see 1720 when you ran it?
[20:19] <wols> same for the proxy if it is one, and of course disable ftp altogether. you have ssh, that's enough :)
[20:19] <Guest47081> bekks, sorry I have 4 total drives (3 are in a RAID 5 array using a MegaRAID PCI controller) and the forth is the one with Windows only installed... so total of 4 physical drives
[20:19] <wols> bkfitz: no nmap
[20:20] <bkfitz> wols: huh... ok thx :)
[20:20] <wols> bkfitz: whenever nmap shows a port, use telnet or nc to connect to it, to see if it actually responds.
[20:20] <bkfitz> wols: good policy thx
[20:20] <wols> and when you own the host in question, always use sudo netstat -anp |grep LIST
[20:21] <bekks> Guest47081: Then why do we see 3 drives, while (since you are using a HW raid controller) we should see only 2 drives (the RAID and the 4th drive)?
[20:25] <Guest47081> bekks, the raid is split into 3 logical drives (4GB, 1GB swap, 605 GB) via the PCI card, I also am running Ubuntu LiveCD through a  USB stick (4GB)...... my missing WIndows HDD is 250GB
[20:25] <bekks> Guest47081: Then pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l please
[20:26] <randybo> If I am looking to back up my settings and all my programs what folders would I want to put into my backup?
[20:26] <Guest47081> bekks, here you go: http://pastebin.com/SeF1Vsfr
[20:27] <wols> randybo: all
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> randybo  for all you programs, use dpkg --set-selections
[20:28] <TaJMoX> Help! ALT+TAB and ALT+F4 doesn't work anymore. Any ideas on what I can try to fix it? Ubuntu 12.04
[20:28] <TomyLobo> My user folder's contents disappeared. now all i see is Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop, .ecryptfs, .Private and README.txt
[20:28] <TomyLobo> and i cant log in with KDE anymore, only text mode
[20:28] <TomyLobo> kubuntu 12.04 LTS
[20:29] <TomyLobo> i tried ecryptfs-mount-private, but it doesn't accept my user account password
[20:30] <bekks> Guest47081: There are four drives. Should be enough ;)
[20:31] <zoktar> almost all my video players crash while playing mkvs and mp4's anyone else have issues like this?
[20:32] <wols> !errors | zoktar
[20:33] <Guest47081> bekks, yes I see 4 but there should be 5-- sda1=4GB Thumb drive with Live CD on it, sdb1=4GB ext3, sdc1=1GB swap, sdd1= 634GB ext3, what it does not show is my 250GB NTFS
[20:34] <TomyLobo> google says "When you originally ran ecryptfs-setup-private, you were asked for two things. Your Login Password, and a file encryption key."
[20:34] <TomyLobo> i was never asked for a file encryption key!
[20:35] <Bsims> I am having problems with wireless... wlan0 is not created, and is not availible... lsusb shows the device correctly, ath9k_htc is loaded but no joy
[20:36] <Guest47081> bekks, if it helps here is my lshw output: http://pastebin.com/BH4MVUDZ
[20:36] <delinquentme> how can I run a grep for "---" as a literal?
[20:36] <TomyLobo> -- then ---
[20:36] <TomyLobo> i think
[20:37] <wols> Bsims: pastebin your dmesg output
[20:37] <Bsims> wols: I am under windows at work, it appears I have hit this problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/173457/usb-wi-fi-netgear-wnda3200-unable-to-allocate-urbs-error
[20:37] <kev^> i have a question. how can non-root users shut down a system? for example, XBMC can shut down the system as a normal user.
[20:37] <jrib> delinquentme: grep -- "---"
[20:37] <kev^> just a general linux question i suppose
[20:38] <TaJMoX> Help! ALT+TAB and ALT+F4 doesn't work anymore. Any ideas on what I can try to fix it? Ubuntu 12.04
[20:38] <mr_david> delinquentme: grep "\-\-\-"
[20:38] <mr_david> kev^: sudo
[20:38] <bkfitz> wols: RE vpn do you recommend OpenVPN
[20:38] <delinquentme> and then what if i need to make it recursive?
[20:39] <wols> bkfitz: yes
[20:39] <bkfitz> wols: this is a production server... do I need to worry about messing things up... should I try on our test box here :)
[20:39] <wols> bkfitz: or for the short term, quick fix, a ssh port forward
[20:39] <bkfitz> wols: ssh port fwd?
[20:40] <bkfitz> wols: 22 - 5432
[20:40] <wols> bkfitz: never noticed any problem but since it's a VPS, I dunno how the virtualization is handled. OpenVPN needs to create a kernel network interface for itself of course
[20:40] <bkfitz> wols: won't that route all traffic on 22 to 5432
[20:40] <TaJMoX> kev^ It's because the user is in the ACPI group (/etc/group)
[20:40] <mr_david> delinquentme: grep -R
[20:40] <TaJMoX> kev^ that gives him permission to use shutdown
[20:41] <Bsims> Ah it appears its a kernel bug, its being loaded as a bulk usb
[20:41] <bkfitz> wols: apparently they support it : http://library.linode.com/networking/openvpn :)
[20:41] <wols> bkfitz: no it won't. you designate a single port on your client end, and everything you send to this local port will get forwarded to the pgsql port on the remote machine
[20:42] <TaJMoX> kev^ Wait, there is no acpi group on this OS. So it must be the sudo group or adm group.
[20:42] <Bsims> wols: thanks anyway... lol just got to run a wire to see if I can get a kernel update to get the wireless to work
[20:43] <bekks> Guest47081: You can see four disks.
[20:43] <Aurelio> Mount raid on... what?
[20:44] <bekks> Aurelio: ... a mountpoint.
[20:44] <Aurelio> like what ?
[20:44] <Aurelio> whats a good idea ?
[20:44] <bekks> Aurelio: /mnt/myraid
[20:45] <Aurelio> hmm, alright cool, thanks. Still not getting the hang of Linux file systems
[20:45] <Guest47081> bekks, i must be missing the other disk, what is it listed as /dev/sde1?1?
[20:45] <bekks> Guest47081: sde would be the 5th disk.
[20:47] <RealOptyz> How can i make it so when i use my tv, to auto select 720p mode? plz and ty in advanced :)
[20:47] <Guest47081> bekks, humm well sda1 = thumb drive, sdb1 = ext3, sdc1 = swap, sdd1  = ext3   .... still not seeing NTFS
[20:48] <systems7> hello, does anyone now how to set up a 2 pin button switch to a serial port?
[20:48] <bekks> Guest47081: Did you triple check the cabling?
[20:48] <systems7> how to set up a 2 pin push button switch to an internal serial heddeR?
[20:49] <bekks> !patience | systems7
[20:49] <systems7> huh?
[20:49] <systems7> i only asked once
[20:49] <wols> systems7: how is this ubuntu support related?
[20:49] <Guest47081> bekks, yes... if I reboot and go to my bios and set the Windows Harddrive to boot first, than Windows boots fine
[20:49] <bekks> systems7: At least two times. At 214820 and 214852
[20:49] <systems7> becuase its gonna trigger an ubuntu commoand
[20:50] <Guest47081> bekks, I even tried new SATA cables on all my drives
[20:50] <TaJMoX> RealOptyz use the ATI or Nvidia control software?
[20:50] <bekks> Guest47081: Which Ubuntu do you use exactly?
[20:50] <TaJMoX> RealOptyz I don't know how to do it if you have an Intel card.
[20:50] <wols> systems7: that doesn't make it ubuntu related at all. sounds more like something for #electronics or #hardware
[20:50] <RealOptyz> Yes im aware of that
[20:50] <RealOptyz> I was hoping for a command line approach
[20:50] <systems7> wols: thanks
[20:51] <TaJMoX> RealOptyz For me, when I'm using my monitor it automatically chooses 1920x1200 and when I turn on my TV it selects 1280x720 automatically (ATI)
[20:51] <Guest47081> bekks, currently I am running off a Live CD.  on the EXT3 drives it has a old 8.xx Kubuntu version
[20:51] <RealOptyz> I was kind of reading about xrandr. Maybe there is a way to set a 'preferred '
[20:51] <Guest47081> bekks, sorry the livecd is Ubuntu 12.10
[20:53] <lloowen> Hello all! Can anyone point me to a good tutorial about how to change a kernel from the command line as I want to change the kernel on my VPS, if that is at all possible!
[20:53] <RealOptyz> TaJMoX: When using my TV it likes to auto select 1366*768. quite irritating lol
[20:53] <bekks> lloowen: It isnt, since the kernel image is built by your ISP, to fit their needs.
[20:54] <bekks> lloowen: So unless your ISP provides a new package for you, you'll have to stay on that kernel.
[20:54] <lloowen> bekks: Hmmm I figured something like that was happening. I changed from 10.04 to 11.04 but the kernel was the same!
[20:55] <wols> bekks: wouldn't that depend on the kind of VPS? e.g. he might run under a Xen one
[20:55] <dbugger> Hey guys. I have connected my Playstation to the aux in, on my computer. How can I make that the audio comes out through the speakers?
[20:55] <physically_fit> hi friends
[20:55] <bekks> lloowen: Because updating the release will not update the kernel automagically.
[20:56] <bekks> wols: And without a domU kernel, he'll break his VPS. :)
[20:57] <lloowen> bekks: I suspect my VPS have rigged it so that it is practically impossible to set up a tun/tap interface or even run openSwan
[20:57] <chris_is_me> so is there a way to disable screen blanking that works better than installing xscreensaver as with xscreensaver running when i reopen my laptop lid it never wakesup
[20:58] <Jaime> dbugger: you should enable the mic output and turn up the volume, did you do it?
[20:58] <sudokode> chris_is_me: xset
[20:58] <dbugger> How do I do that?
[20:58] <bekks> lloowen: Well, then you have to contact their support, I guess.
[20:58] <dbugger> Jaime, Im not sure how to do that in Ubuntu
[20:58] <Jaime> you should open the audio preferences in the system setup
[20:58] <chris_is_me> sudokode: doesn't work tryed that
[20:58] <physically_fit> dbugger, i don't know if this can help you, but i was reading this today; it helped me to listen to my mic through my speakers: http://blog.flipzu.com/2011/02/how-to-mix-voice-and-audio-on-ubuntu.html
[20:59] <aleksandar22> anyone got tunngle running with or without wine
[20:59] <chris_is_me> i'm using 12.10 upgraded from 12.4
[20:59] <aleksandar22> or any unoffical way to connect to tunngle networks
[20:59] <chris_is_me> setting in control panel are completly ignored
[21:00] <dbugger> Jaime, i rightclick on the speaker icon and I open "Sound Settings" Over there in the Input tab theres nothing really to enable
[21:00] <physically_fit> dbugger also you'll need this command too, to unload the numbers (modules) you'll get: pactl unload-module <number>
[21:00] <soman> Hi guys. Tell me please any good app for recording video from desktop. Ubuntu 12.04
[21:01] <physically_fit> dbugger, are you listening to me? did you check that link i gave you?
[21:01] <Jaime> dbugger: i think physically_fit, it's on the right way
[21:02] <Gerowen> Can anybody provide me with a good Linux alternative to Skype for calling land-line phones from your computer or smart-phone?
[21:02] <dbugger> physically_fit, Im reading it, wait
[21:02] <Gerowen> Skype is just letting me down over and over.
[21:02] <AlexNagy> Gerowen: why? It works, sort of.
[21:03] <physically_fit> dbugger anotate this command too, or you'll get too many sound streams: pactl unload-module <number>
[21:03] <dbugger> physically_fit, but isnt that article for the "mic" jack?
[21:03] <dbugger> I have the console on the aux-in jack
[21:04] <physically_fit> dbugger, yeah, that's why i said i wasn't sure if that could help you, but it may guide you somewhere....
[21:04] <Gerowen> It works well enough for calls to other skype users, but for some reason when I've tried using it to interact with land-line phones it doesn't ring half the time when people call, sometimes when I call a number I know is correct I get re-routed to a random person, and more often than not when someone does answer when I've called them the phone stays totally silent and I have to hang up and call back a 2nd time.
[21:04] <physically_fit> over the rainbow
[21:04] <dbugger> I already did it once in the past, even though Im not sure how
[21:04] <dbugger> Im sure it was nothing like that
[21:04] <Samus_Aran> does anyone know how I can fix Ubuntu's networking?  after a broken update, my Ubuntu can no longer connect to wireless or wired networks.  the icon just keeps trying to connect and fails always.
[21:04] <AlexNagy> Gerowen: I've not had that issue calling landlines. ):
[21:04] <Samus_Aran> currently I am manually using "dhclient eth0", but that disconnects every couple minutes
[21:05] <dbugger> I remember typing some sort of command in the terminal, which showed me something similar to the alsamixer, but with lot more channels. Turning one of them up fixed the issue
[21:05] <physically_fit> dbugger, also the command alsamixer you can enable the tracks you need
[21:05] <RealOptyz> How can i make it so when i use my tv, to auto select 720p mode? plz and ty in advanced :)
[21:05] <Gerowen> I didn't used to, it's weird.  I use it primarily on my Android phone which seems to be where most of the problems happen.
[21:05] <RealOptyz> nvidia drivers
[21:05] <AlexNagy> Gerowen: ah
[21:06] <physically_fit> hi bipolar
[21:06] <dbugger> physically_fit, in the alsamixer there isnt anything that can help me
[21:07] <physically_fit> dbugger, i dunno, i been researching since today only this thing
[21:08] <zoktar> !pastebin
[21:09] <Samus_Aran> dbugger: ALSA provides no wrapping for the mixer items, meaning that it is whatever the hardware provides.  this is often non-sensical to humans.  sometimes you need to adjust two or even three mixer controls to actually do what you want.
[21:10] <dbugger> Samus_Aran, Id adjust 20 if I knew which ones :P
[21:11] <Samus_Aran> dbugger: and make sure they're all unmuted (press 'm' so there are no "MM" items below the mixers)
[21:11] <Greg___> I was wondering if anybody can help me with a question?
[21:11] <Samus_Aran> dbugger: I missed the part where you said what you were trying to do.  record, play sound?
[21:11] <bekks> !ask | Greg___
[21:12] <Samus_Aran> Greg___: it would be easier to help you with an answer.  :)
[21:12] <Greg___> The sudoers file on a ubuntu box has been corrupted, and Policykit is not on the machine ... how can I fix the box without reloading the entire box
[21:13] <Greg___> Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS is what I am running on the machine
[21:13] <bekks> Greg___: "has been corrupted" - how?
[21:13] <Samus_Aran> Greg___: did you ever add a password for root?
[21:13] <Greg___> no password for root, and the sudoers file was changed
[21:13] <bekks> Greg___: How was it changed...?
[21:13] <Samus_Aran> Greg___: you will need to boot from CD, then chroot to your distro.  this way you will be root user, and can install packages and so forth
[21:13] <Greg___> using nano adding a new user to the file
[21:14] <Samus_Aran> reinstall the packages you messed up
[21:14] <zoktar> sample output from vlc segfaulting, almost all other players segfault similarly http://paste.ubuntu.com/1327544/
[21:14]  * nydel wonders why so many people running lucid are coming in for support lately
[21:14] <bekks> Samus_Aran: He cant, with a messed up sudoers file.
[21:14] <bekks> Greg___: And did you change the existing entries?
[21:14] <Samus_Aran> bekks: please re-read what I suggested.  it does not use sudo.
[21:14] <Greg___> Ok so boot from CD than chroot, and then I will be able to edit that file right
[21:15] <bekks> Greg___: And did you change the existing entries?
[21:15] <Greg___> no I did not change what was already there
[21:15] <Greg___> I just added a new line
[21:15] <Samus_Aran> Greg___: what line did you add?
[21:15] <bekks> Greg___: Then why cant you just use sudo then, with your old user?
[21:16] <Samus_Aran> strange to remove permissions from your user.  :)
[21:16] <TomyLobo> my laptop (less than a week old, kubuntu 12.04 LTS, crypted home folder since installation) fails to mount the crypted home folder. hibernate failed to resume about 5 times, i think that's relevant, too.
[21:16] <Greg___> I get this error /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 10 <<< sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 10 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
[21:16] <TomyLobo> how do i recover my data?
[21:16] <Greg___> it is weird, and that happens no matter what username is used
[21:17] <BluPhenix316> hey when i try to boot the ubuntu 12.10 cd it just boots to a blackscreen with a grub prompt
[21:17] <bekks> Greg___: Thats not weird. sudo doesnt work as long as the sudoers file contains unparseable errors.
[21:17] <Greg___> ahh ok
[21:17] <bekks> Greg___: You have to use a live cd, revoke your changes and try again.
[21:17] <Greg___> ok
[21:18] <chitra> Hi all
[21:18] <linkandzelda> Yay, I'm finally on Ubuntu
[21:18] <BluPhenix316> is my ubuntu 12.10 cd corrupt or is it a problem with uefi?
[21:18] <chitra> I just installed ubuntu 12.04
[21:18] <chitra> I am not able to download python packages for it
[21:18] <physically_fit> linkandzelda, 12.10 or 12.04?
[21:18] <Greg___> is Policykit-1 default or is that something I have to download seperate
[21:18] <linkandzelda> physically_fit, 12.10
[21:18] <linkandzelda> and I'm using Xchat
[21:18] <chitra> I am trying sudo apt-get install python-dateutil
[21:19] <BluPhenix316> linkandzelda, gratz, i can't even get the live cd to boot
[21:19] <bekks> Greg___: Did you remove it? Why do you need it to be installed?
[21:19] <BluPhenix316> it just seems me to a grub prompt
[21:19] <chitra> it says :0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 48 not upgraded.
[21:19] <ms_choudhary_200> chitra what error are you getting?
[21:19] <linkandzelda> BluPhenix316, what device?
[21:19] <kate_r> hi
[21:19] <kate_r> if a deploy a production server, should i fire it up inside a screen? or is there a better way?
[21:19] <chitra> seems like already installed
[21:19] <Samus_Aran> BluPhenix316: you could try the alternate install CD
[21:19] <chitra> it is happening with all the packages
[21:20] <Greg___> No I did not remove it, but I know that is another way to fix the problem if that is installed.
[21:20] <BluPhenix316> Samurs_Aran: what is that? I've tried burning the ISO to a disc and writing it to a usb stick and same thing
[21:20] <chitra> sudo apt-get install postgresql
[21:20] <bekks> Greg___: Thats no fix at all for a broken sudoers file.
[21:20] <BluPhenix316> what is the alternate install cd?
[21:21] <bekks> Greg___: since root has no pw set, you cant login as root.
[21:21] <Samus_Aran> BluPhenix316: sometimes the default install CD has issues with the graphics card in the system and ends up without a visible screen.  in those cases, there is the alternate install CD that doesn't have graphics.
[21:21] <Samus_Aran> BluPhenix316: it uses a semi-graphical text mode installer that is fairly easy to follow
[21:21] <Greg___> ahh ok
[21:22] <Greg___> Thank you very much
[21:22] <chitra> ms_choudhary_200: sometimes I am getting error like this
[21:22] <ms_choudhary_200> my college network administrator blocks chat on irc. How can i connect? Tried with tor, didn't worked.
[21:22] <chitra> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1327567/
[21:22] <Samus_Aran> Greg___: boot from CD, check if your Ubuntu system is auto-mounted (it should be), then from a terminal do: sudo chroot /mnt/whatever
[21:22] <BluPhenix316> Samurs_Aran: the problem i'm having through is, complicated, I had it working before, I was dual-booting between windows 7 and windows 8(i hate it, but it was a required school project), I installed ubuntu overtop of windows 8 but couldn't get back into 7, so i installed windows 8 again, removed windows 8 from windows boot manager and tried to reinstall ubuntu and now the disc just sends me to the grub prompt
[21:23] <Samus_Aran> Greg___: then you can do "visudo" to edit the file
[21:23] <BluPhenix316> i really can't stand uefi but i'm stuck with it for now
[21:23] <linkandzelda> BluPhenix316, do you have a mac or a pc?
[21:23] <trism> chitra: did you run: sudo apt-get update; yet?
[21:23] <Greg___> Awesome :) thank you
[21:23] <BluPhenix316> linkandzelda: pc, Alienware X-51
[21:23] <chitra> no
[21:23] <linkandzelda> i see
[21:24] <Samus_Aran> BluPhenix316: GRUB is installed to your hard drive, if it's booting from CD there is no GRUB involved.  it sounds like your BIOS is not booting from the CD
[21:24] <trism> chitra: then do it and try again
[21:24] <chitra> trism : i was getting same in sudp apt-get update too
[21:24] <Samus_Aran> BluPhenix316: do you have to press some key to choose to boot from CD?
[21:24] <chitra> but now it is showing me there are some updates
[21:25] <chitra> trism: why does that needs, I mean I have just downloaded ubuntu12.04 ,is not a updated one?
[21:25] <BluPhenix316> no
[21:26] <BluPhenix316> and its not grub, i installed mint fine but i was hoping to install ubuntu
[21:26] <linusoleander> Can I specify a pid file when using "nohup" ?
[21:26] <bekks> linusoleander: No.
[21:26] <BluPhenix316> i know its a uefi issue but i'm running out of ideas
[21:26] <Samus_Aran> BluPhenix316: what?  you said it goes black on a GRUB screen.  there is no GRUB on the Ubuntu install CD at all, it uses I think ISOLinux
[21:26] <linusoleander> bekks: Do you know anything similar to nohup which makes it possible to specify a pid file?
[21:27] <trism> chitra: you have to run that after you first install to download the latest package index, otherwise you won't be able to install most packages
[21:27] <bekks> linusoleander: Specifying a pid file will not help you at all. A pid file is not a running process, but a file.
[21:27] <chitra> trism: thanks
[21:27] <linusoleander> bekks: Yes, i know. But I need to pid for the process that's being started
[21:27] <linkandzelda> now I've installed Ubuntu I have no idea what to do next lol
[21:28] <BluPhenix316> Samus_Aran, when i put the cd in, it goes to a grub prompt, if i don't have the cd in, i can choose either a windows boot manager or mint
[21:28] <bekks> linusoleander: You cant predict the PID that is gonna be used.
[21:28]  * Descriptioned Hello Moto ¶
[21:28] <BluPhenix316> and the grub prompt says grub version 1.99something something ubuntu something hehe
[21:28] <physically_fit> ikonia, friend, are you here?
[21:28] <chitra> trism: I was thinking to install the packages and start my work and later ,updates can run , So it is not a right way?
[21:28] <linusoleander>  bekks I want to tell the current application to use a specific file as pid pile
[21:28] <linusoleander> *file
[21:28] <Samus_Aran> BluPhenix316: okay, that's news to me that the CD is using GRUB.  I guess GRUB 2 can manage boot CDs
[21:29] <linusoleander> nohup --pid /tmp/prod.pid && kill `/tmp/prod.pid`
[21:29] <BluPhenix316> Samus_Aran: i tried using linux usb creator, which normally uses syslinux, but that uses grub as well
[21:29] <linusoleander> bekks: Like that ^
[21:29] <BluPhenix316> for ubuntu 12.10
[21:29] <bekks> linusoleander: That is not possible as I just stated.
[21:30] <trism> chitra: update doesn't install new packages, just index for the packages, you use apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade; to upgrade the packages
[21:30] <linusoleander> bekks: Why is that, it works with "rackup" for example
[21:30] <BluPhenix316> maybe my iso is just corrupt and i should download another
[21:30] <bekks> linusoleander: I never heard of "rackup" until now.
[21:31] <bekks> linusoleander: And killing a file, not a PID, is just nonsense.
[21:31] <linusoleander> bekks: Yeah, I missed the cat part
[21:31] <linusoleander> bekks: The idea of specifying a pid file for a process isn't strange at all. Why would it?
[21:31] <BluPhenix316> think Secure Boot would effect it any? right now I have secure boot disabled
[21:32] <linusoleander> I can do it for mysql, postgresql, redis and so on
[21:32] <cjoseph> I have some source code I've modified and got running fine. I uploaded the code to github and cloned it to another ubuntu machine, and it won't compole on the second machine. The configure script won't even run, it just prints out this:  syntax error near unexpected token `config.h'
[21:32] <bekks> linusoleander: Because a "pid file" may contain everything - it doesnt have to contain a PID. And a process is not forced to actually create a PID file at all. Thats why it is nonsense.
[21:32] <simplew> i have installed kubuntu, so when runing firefox and clicking to open or save file, in the dialog that apepars does apepars the Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos directories, what package i need to isntall to have those dirs appearing in the "Save As" firefox dialog?
[21:33] <Samus_Aran> BluPhenix316: so yeah, I recommend the alternate CD, as it tends to have far fewer issues: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[21:33] <nydel> hmm, mail-notifier is crashing right after i run it. could anyone help me troubleshoot?
[21:33] <BluPhenix316> Samus_Aran: thank you!
[21:33] <Samus_Aran> BluPhenix316: I'm not familiar with secure boot
[21:33] <linusoleander> bekks: Yes, i know that is why I'm asking if there is a wrapper application which can store the pid in a file so I can access it later
[21:33] <dj_corncob> I want to play around with writing client-server sockets.  What should I use in ubuntu to simulate a server on my machine?
[21:34] <skypce> i have a question
[21:34] <linusoleander> I need to know the pid for a specific process to be able to track it
[21:34] <linusoleander> I don't understand why that's strange
[21:34] <skypce> the "--" option is need in kernel boot options?
[21:34] <BluPhenix316> i can't wait for Steam on Linux, if Valve can convince bethesda to make native linux versions of their games through steam, i won't ever need windows again
[21:34] <jrib> linusoleander: so record the pid when you start it, no?
[21:35] <linusoleander> jrib: How?
[21:35] <jrib> linusoleander: how are you starting it?
[21:35] <jrib> linusoleander: and what is "it"?
[21:35] <Samus_Aran> BluPhenix316: it seems they don't have an alternate install CD for 12.10, but they do for 12.04
[21:36] <linusoleander> jrib: Just by calling it. "/usr/bin/mybinary"
[21:36] <BluPhenix316> Samus_Aran: they have the net install mini iso, that should do it, i have a decent wired connection
[21:36] <linusoleander> jrib: It's a bunch of different background processes
[21:37] <jrib> linusoleander: that information is available as some bash variable.  See its documentation.  Better yet, ask #bash as they might suggest to you a better way to do what you want
[21:37] <BluPhenix316> ok lets give this a shot, if it works i'll be back and let ya know if your curious
[21:37] <Samus_Aran> dj_corncob: you can do that lots of different ways.  what's the issue with just running the server and client programs on the same machine?  if you need virtual machines, you can use VirtualBox, QEMU, or there's one that lets you run another Linux kernel/system directly.
[21:38] <nydel> has anyone got m-audio drivers for ubuntu/linux? specifically for a firewire device?
[21:38] <linusoleander> jrib: Yes, I know that. but I need to know the exact possision of the pid file before starting it
[21:38] <jrib> linusoleander: what?  Why is there suddenly a "pid file" involved?
[21:39] <linusoleander> jrib: I need the pid file. Have you ever used monit, god or bluepill?
[21:39] <chitra> trism: is there a differenct in sudo apt-get update and update from update manager?
[21:39] <jrib> linusoleander: no.
[21:39] <Samus_Aran> nydel: if it is not supported by ALSA, give OSS v4 a try, it has a lot of excellent sound drivers
[21:40] <linusoleander> jrib: Anyhow, I need to write a pid file for any background process I start
[21:40] <trism> chitra: no
[21:40] <jrib> linusoleander: I think you should state what your actual goal is.
[21:40] <nydel> Samus_Aran: do you have the appropriate URL to check about ALSA support? & for OSS v4? i'm not familiar with OSS v4 at all.
[21:40] <trism> chitra: well, checking for updates no, but again, apt-get update; doesn't actually install packages
[21:40] <linusoleander> I've a background process that's being tracked by monit. Monit needs the pid file to be able to track it
[21:41] <chitra> trism: what it actually does?
[21:41] <Samus_Aran> nydel: #OSS channel here on FreeNode.  their web site is in the URL.  there's also a wiki page that tells you how to set up apps to use OSS instead of ALSA.
[21:41] <trism> chitra: downloads information about available packages
[21:41] <jrib> linusoleander: so if a program creates a pid file, give monit the pid file.  If a program does not create a pid file, create it.
[21:41] <Samus_Aran> nydel: my browser is lagging, or I'd grab you the URLs
[21:41] <jrib> linusoleander: although I imagine if you ask monit support there may be a "better way"
[21:42] <nydel> Samus_Aran: have you ever heard of a box that takes an hdmi in, & has a bunch of outs? for example, right now i use my laptop & an HDMI out to HDMI1, my television. then i use RCA outs to my firewire M-Audio which is running on a windows desktop over there. & outs from the m-audio go to dual monitor speakers as well as another set of speakers.
[21:42] <Samus_Aran> nydel: years ago OSS (Open Sound System) was the only Linux sound system.  then OSS switched to v3 and became closed-source, so ALSA was invented to fill in the gap.  OSS with v4 went back to open source.
[21:42] <nydel> Samus_Aran: but i would be interested in a box that just takes the HDMI & has a bunch of outs
[21:43] <Samus_Aran> nydel: that sounds like a lot of passing through.  wouldn't that create delays in the sound?
[21:43] <chitra> trism: just info about available packages?
[21:43] <jrib> linusoleander: here read this: http://mmonit.com/wiki/Monit/FAQ#pidfile
[21:43] <trism> chitra: yes
[21:43] <chitra> it takes so many MBs and time?
[21:43] <trism> chitra: there are many many packages
[21:43] <simplew> something is very wrong, if i restart network-manager service i get DOUBLED wifi network entries from network-manager icon
[21:43] <booh->  Fresh install.  I try to access in IMAP, plain text passwd, outside my LAN without success...
[21:44] <nydel> Samus_Aran: no delay, unless i'm experiencing a very pleasing chorus effect, but it couldn't be more than 10ms i doubt, else i'd be able to tell
[21:44] <chitra> trism: may be :/
[21:44] <linusoleander> jrib: I was a bit fast there, I'm not using monit atm, I'm using bluepill. Thanks anyway
[21:44] <chitra> trism: synaptic pakage manager does the same thing?
[21:44] <linusoleander> jrib: But I get the point
[21:44] <trism> chitra: if you click Reload yes
[21:44] <linusoleander> I was hoping that linux had something build in
[21:50] <ubuntu-fan001> hi
[21:50] <Samus_Aran> ubuntu-fan001: hello
[21:51] <Samus_Aran> nydel: I've never used Firewire or USB soundcards, myself, but any time I have issues with ALSA I just switch to OSS v4 and the issues are gone.  :)
[21:51] <ubuntu-fan001> i have some question about setting vpn in ubuntu
[21:52] <gordonjcp> !ask | ubuntu-fan001
[21:52] <ubuntu-fan001> awright
[21:53] <ubuntu-fan001> my bad
[21:53] <ubuntu-fan001> is there a way to setup l2tp vpn in ubuntu
[21:54] <guntbert> ubuntu-fan001: have you seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN ?
[21:55] <dada> cc
[21:55] <ubuntu-fan001> no
[21:55] <dada> ya des francais ?
[21:55] <guntbert> !fr | dada
[21:55] <Multbrelch> :)
[21:56] <chitra> trism: you were right, updates are working now
[21:57] <chitra> :)
[21:57] <trism> chitra: happy to hear it
[21:58] <chitra> :))
[22:00] <chitra> It was too important for me ,I am not sleeping whole night just for setup the system,tomorrow need to leave from here
[22:00] <chitra> :)
[22:01] <chitra> there are soo many packages but all are small in size
[22:01] <chitra> most of
[22:01] <DeathStar> is there a wine help channel?
[22:02] <guntbert> DeathStar: #winehq
[22:02] <ubuntu-fan001> gunbert:so there is no way
[22:03] <ubuntu-fan001> i just look at the link you gave me
[22:04] <guntbert> ubuntu-fan001: well, I have to admit the page is rather old
[22:04] <ubuntu-fan001> yeah
[22:04] <chitra> on other system's ip irc chat is disabled,I get message something like contact to admin ..
[22:04] <ubuntu-fan001> do we have now?
[22:04] <chitra> what I need to do for that?
[22:05] <ubuntu-fan001> the l2tp support for ubuntu
[22:05] <dr_willis> chitra:  what irc client and whats the exact message?
[22:06] <guntbert> ubuntu-fan001: please have a look at http://bailey.st/blog/2011/07/14/connecting-to-a-l2tpipsec-vpn-from-ubuntu-desktop/
[22:06] <eyastaifour> Hi, I need help installing ubuntu please. i have a machine that has Windows 7, can access USB (but cant boot from it), cant access CD/DVD (drive is bunked), and can emulate an ISO as a disk (on Windows 7) :)
[22:07] <ubuntu-fan001> thank u
[22:07] <eyastaifour> anyone up for a challenge ? :)
[22:07] <ubuntu-fan001> i will
[22:08] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/100039/l2tp-vpn-connection-plugin
[22:08] <Belz3buth> hell! :)
[22:08] <Belz3buth> *o x)
[22:08] <chitra> actually what happened with me is , I registered a nick on a system but I was using the nic without register from many days on other system,today after register I went to other computer and opened the irc ,it said the nick is registerd please verify : I started to verify but before it ,I got a message that my ip is blocked for IRC
[22:08] <dr_willis> eyastaifour:  you sure you are making the boot usb thing correctly? does it work in other machines>
[22:09] <guntbert> ubuntu-fan001: dr_willis found more ^^^^
[22:09] <chitra> dr_willis: dont remember the actual message but it was something like I need to contact to admin
[22:09] <eyastaifour> dr_willis:  its an old machine: it cant boot from USB... it has windows on it now, and I copied the ubuntu.ISO on it (via a USB drive)
[22:09] <dr_willis> chitra:  the  register your nick web site from freenode said that? If so ask in #freenode
[22:09] <ubuntu-fan001> yeah
[22:09] <dr_willis> eyastaifour:  i would be amazed that a machine so old it cant boot from USB is even able to run windows 7
[22:10] <ubuntu-fan001> thank dr willis
[22:10] <eyastaifour> dr_willis: im amazed as well.
[22:10] <dr_willis> eyastaifour:  if you got a spare small hard drive you could image the ISO file to the HD plug it in. boot from it then install to a differnt HD i guess...
[22:10] <chitra> eyastaifour: are you jocking?
[22:10] <chitra> :P
[22:11] <eyastaifour> dr_willis: i can not BOOT from USB. in my boot menu, i have: CD, HDD, and network
[22:11] <chitra> dr_wills: yes something like that
[22:11] <eyastaifour> my DVD drive doesnt work. i m not interested in setting up PXE now
[22:11] <dr_willis> eyastaifour:  ive seen usb NOT show up IF the usb flash is not bootable. Ie: not made properly.
[22:11] <eyastaifour> i have windows, and there's an ISO there - ubuntu ISO. and i have a 40 GB unallocated space on the HDD
[22:12] <dr_willis> guess you could try virtualbox and get lucky.. but that is most likely not a good idea to try to do a real install to a real hd from within vbox.
[22:12] <mcoffee> Call me a noob, but I would like to ssh to localhost.
