[07:42] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: its a shell, if you install gnome-panel and log off then log in to the classic desktop it will look more familiar, alternatives also include (but are not limited to) kde,xfce, lxde and so on...
[07:42] <peay> actionparsnip: how do i monitor computer statistics like cpu usage
[07:42] <fishbait_> mm acutally i tried compiling from source first!
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> peay: top
[07:43] <Ormie> ActionParsnip, ok. How do I take unity out and put the normal and fully-functional GNOME desktop?
[07:43] <peay> top?
[07:43] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: fsck was done in a sec
[07:43] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: am I using it right?
[07:43] <L3top> !nounity | Ormie
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: I told you already, just leave unity on, it takes up very little room
[07:43] <peay> actionparsnip: top?
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> peay: yes, its a terminal command
[07:44] <L3top> peay: yes... just type top. If you want a graphical representation try conky.
[07:44] <L3top> !conky
[07:44] <L3top> er
[07:44] <Ormie> sigh
[07:44] <L3top> !info conky
[07:45] <error4o4> MonkeyDust: thanks. what would be the easiest way to disable access. Removing ~/.ssh/known_hosts and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys  ?
[07:45] <peay> actionparsnip: how could i possibly be using 2 of 4 gb
[07:45] <peay> just chrome and xchat open
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> peay: you running firefox web browser?
[07:45] <peay> chromium
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> peay: how much ram is chromium using?
[07:46] <fishbait_> i have restored my interfaces config 60 seconds now
[07:46] <MonkeyDust> error4o4  yes, but it will then ask to create a new key, when user tries to connect/login
[07:47] <peay> actionparsnip: im not sure
[07:47] <error4o4> MonkeyDust: i'm trying to completely disable SSH Keys access for some users
[07:48] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: ah. Found it. e2fsck -cvf
[07:48] <krababbel> peay: use system monitor
[07:48] <llutz_> error4o4: add soemthing like "Match User thatbaduser1 baduser2 \n PubkeyAuthentication no" to sshd_config
[07:48] <fishbait_> no luck THATS IT I'M RE-INSTALLING
[07:49] <error4o4> llutz_: thx
[07:49] <llutz_> error4o4: for more than 1-2 users, its easier to put them into a special group and use "Match Group badgroup ..."
[07:49] <ladweeba> okay so I've decided to install linux over my windows vista on my acer aspire laptop.
[07:49] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: I think I am looking in the wrong place. Not even grub boots...
[07:50] <fitsum>  i coudn't format  my external hard disck using gparted it gives me an error file:///gparted_details.htm
[07:50] <MonkeyDust> ladweeba  tip: do *not* use wubi
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> peay: the mem colomn shows the amount of ram per process
[07:50] <smw-tab> It just occurred to me that if the mbr grub was loading, I would see grub>
[07:50] <ladweeba> after the battery powers back up, I will copy software to an external hard drive and then end windows vista.
[07:51] <ladweeba> MonkeyDust, what is wubi?
[07:51] <gartral> hey all, I want too remove pulseaudio. but it wants too remove ubuntu-desktop.. Is this safe?
[07:51] <fishbait_> no!
[07:51] <gartral> didn't think so.
[07:51] <smw-tab> Sure. As long as it does not want to remove 300 things
[07:52] <gartral> so how do I safely kill pulse, I need JACK for a project and it needs access too alsa..
[07:52] <smw-tab> gartral: you can remove it
[07:52] <fishbait_> it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop
[07:53] <smw-tab> gartral: assuming it is not asking to remove everything;-)
[07:53] <gartral> smw-tab: won't is say that it wants too remove said 300 things via apt-get autoremove?
[07:53] <ladweeba> okay so I looked it up and found that it's a windows ubuntu installer
[07:53] <smw-tab> fishbait_: is that a problem?
[07:53] <L3top> smw-tab: I thought you said you were able to get to recovery console
[07:53] <L3top> Is removing the desktop a problem?
[07:53] <smw-tab> L3top: using a live CD
[07:53] <fishbait_> depends is ubuntu-desktop the gui like i think it is from the name?
[07:53] <L3top> ah...
[07:54] <smw-tab> fishbait_: no, it is a Meta package with everything in a default Ubuntu install
[07:54] <K-Lab> mornin all
[07:54] <gartral> fishbait_: no, it's a metapackage too make installing everything the GUI needs too function properly alot easier
[07:55] <error4o4> llutz_: thanks
[07:55] <fishbait_> ah then no i mistook the name and and acted to prevent his mistake accordingly'
[07:55] <L3top> smw-tab: do you have the fglrx driver installed?
[07:55] <smw-tab> L3top: who cares! Grub does not boot
[07:56] <smw-tab> L3top: I don't think the BIOS ever starts grub
[07:56] <gartral> smw-tab: the output of sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio -> http://pastie.org/4072215
[07:56] <hohol> привет
[07:56] <MonkeyDust> !ru
[07:57] <smw-tab> gartral: no reason to auto remove
[07:57] <fishbait_> okay re-installing i swear i will cry if this doesn't work
[07:58] <echo083> hello, i'd like to personalize my grub menu at boot but the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file is set as readonly is there another file I should edit and do update-grub ?
[07:58] <L3top> smw-tab: This was working, you installed virtualbox, and the MBR was affected? Reinstalling grub does nothing? hmmm... does the bios have virtual hw support? and does changing that affect the grub issue?
[07:58] <smw-tab> gartral: the things it is removing don't look important to me. Do so at your own risk
[07:59] <smw-tab> The vbox should not have affected it
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | echo083
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  it depends on what you want to change
[07:59] <smw-tab> L3top: but yea... grub install did not work
[08:00] <echo083> Dr_Willis, i want to remove the "recover" entries and change de label, i disable the readonly and change the values ? is it fine ?
[08:00] <echo083> Dr_Willis, the label*
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  you do NOT edit the grub.cfg directly. you edit the grub config files as needed.
[08:00] <peay> actionparsnip: a program called compiz is using the most memory
[08:00] <smw-tab> L3top: I did grub install while chrooted in Ubuntu
[08:01] <echo083> Dr_Willis, where are they ? :-
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  i posted factoid info just above....
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | echo083
[08:01] <smw-tab> L3top: using the Ubuntu alternative live CD
[08:01] <echo083> Dr_Willis, i thought it was ubottu :(
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> peay: if you try Unit2D, is it ok?
[08:02] <smw-tab> L3top: damn my tablet loves to capitalize things :-\
[08:02] <peay> actionparsnip: how do i?
[08:02] <krababbel> peay: that is normal
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> smw-tab:  yep. autocorrection can suck on irc
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> peay: log off, select unity2D session using cog menu near your username, log in
[08:03] <echo083> Dr_Willis, ok i found it but i don't understand the automatically generated entries will be in my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file ?
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> they really need to make that cog buttom more obvious it is a menu selector item..
[08:03] <echo083> Dr_Willis, i only want my own entries
[08:03] <error4o4> llutz_: is it valid to have "PubkeyAuthentication no" and below having a "MatchGroup goodUsers \n PubkeyAuthentication yes"  to enable SSH pub key access only to goodUsers group members ? thx
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  you edi tthe /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/ files
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  update-grub reads those and generates the grub.cfg
[08:04] <llutz_> error4o4: yes, but makes no sense. i'd just set PubkeyAuthentication Yes as default
[08:04] <echo083> Dr_Willis, i can remove the file with the entries i don't want ?
[08:04] <echo083> Dr_Willis, how to generate them again i find change of mind ?
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> depends on which entry.. make backups of what you change.
[08:05] <error4o4> llutz_: I was looking into disabling it for everyone by default but enable it for users that are in certain group, so I can control it better
[08:05] <llutz_> error4o4: ahem, sry i guess i misread you
[08:05] <echo083> Dr_Willis, i'll edit the the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file ... thus if i made a mistake i'll just have to do a grub-update to restore everything
[08:06] <peay> actionparsnip:everything seems to be much faster
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  untill the kernel updates and overwrites that file without you noticeing...
[08:06] <llutz_> error4o4: so you want to set PubkeyAuth NO as default and enable it for a special group using Match Group...?
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> peay: yep, no compiz to stink the place up, it uses metacity instead :)
[08:06] <error4o4>  llutz_: yes
[08:06] <llutz_> error4o4: its ok
[08:06] <didi> Is it possible to use Ubuntu One if I'm not using Unity?
[08:06] <echo083> Dr_Willis, kernel is not fair ! how to tell him not to do that !
[08:06] <error4o4> llutz_: thanks :)
[08:07] <peay> actionparsnip:will I have to change that everytime i log on?
[08:07] <DrRobotto> Hi guys
[08:07] <bazhang> didi, sure it is
[08:07] <didi> bazhang: Nice!
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  you edit the  proper config files. You dont edit grub.cfg thatgs how
[08:07] <bazhang> !notunity | didi
[08:07] <DrRobotto> Is there any possibility to change the print in file default settings in the document viewer?
[08:07] <llutz_> error4o4: i just prefer to set the default as restrictive as possible and then "open" it for special cases. but both ways will work
[08:08] <didi> bazhang: Where can I read about how to do it?
[08:08] <echo083> Dr_Willis, but files in the /etc/grub.d folder are nasty bash files i don't know how to customize the output
[08:08] <bazhang> didi, #ubuntuone may know
[08:08] <didi> bazhang: Thank you.
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  then i suggeest you leave them alone. and leave grub alone. i guess..
[08:08] <error4o4> llutz_: as I can see the default enables ssh pub keys for everyone, thats i want it for a special froup, to control it better
[08:09] <echo083> Dr_Willis, i'll edit grub.cfg and save it if the kernel change it i'll just have to replace it with my own :)
[08:09] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  you would be better ude of your time reading the grub docs the bot gave you
[08:10] <echo083> Dr_Willis, i don't care it is boring !! they should have made something more usable
[08:10] <llutz_> error4o4: just make sure you dont allow passwordlogin for all
[08:10] <echo083> Dr_Willis, :p
[08:10] <ladweeba> is it better to create a linux partition, that is a dual boot or install the entire linux over the windows vista.
[08:10] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  whatever.
[08:10] <peay> actionparsnip:will I have to change that everytime i log on?
[08:10] <ladweeba> I already have windows 7 on another machine
[08:10] <echo083> Dr_Willis, i read the documentation for lilo but they said blablabla it will be replaced with grub
[08:11] <error4o4> llutz_: ok
[08:11] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  so? Lilo was replaced by grub.. and grub2 has repled grub.. syslinux and isolinux are alterantives to grub2 also..
[08:11] <echo083> Dr_Willis, now there is grub2 ... and why not a grub3 i'll have to read the fucking manual each time i want to customize my boot menu
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> peay: the last session is remembered
[08:11]  * Dr_Willis has learned them all
[08:11] <ladweeba> I would like a system with just nothing but linux on it but I'm a newb to linux so not sure how I should start out...I hear ubuntu is perfect for folks migrating from windows to linux.
[08:11] <peay> actionparsnip:awesome thank you
[08:12] <echo083> Dr_Willis, syslinux and isolinux ... you will tell me i have to read the manual again ?
[08:12] <Dr_Willis> echo083:  you havent bothered to read much of anything yet as far as i can tell. have a nice day
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> peay: np man
[08:12] <echo083> Dr_Willis, no i really read lilo manual !! at ages
[08:12] <bazhang> !manual | ladweeba
[08:13] <bazhang> echo083, no cursing here
[08:13] <echo083> bazhang, what is cursing ?
[08:13] <bazhang> !rute | ladweeba this may help too
[08:13] <L3top> ladweeba: Just download the ubuntu iso, burn it to a dvd, or a thumbdrive with the instructions provided on the main page and follow the step by step install instructions.
[08:13] <ladweeba> thank you ubottu!!!
[08:13] <bazhang> echo083, no bad language. you know that.
[08:13] <echo083> bazhang, about what ?
[08:15] <ladweeba> ok, ubottu
[08:15] <TransitTycoon> Trying to get "Record my desktop" to record both internal audio, and my Mic. I tried routing my mic so now it plays on my speaker, but "Record my desktop" does not pick it up. Any ideas? (I don't want to run a seperate audio record because of editing issues
[08:16] <echo083> bazhang, ?????
[08:16] <bazhang> echo083, yes?
[08:17] <echo083> bazhang, you said no bad language i'm still waiting about what ??
[08:17] <ActionParsnip> TransitTycoon: what apps have you tried?
[08:17] <bazhang> TransitTycoon, what others have you tried. kazam is worth a look
[08:17] <echo083> bazhang, did you try to talk to someone else ?
[08:17] <MonkeyDust> <3 kazam
[08:17] <TransitTycoon> bazhang: ActionParsnip: both have terrible performance, trying to do a screencast with a heavy cpu app
[08:18] <bazhang> echo083, no.  you used some foul language earlier. lets move on
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> TransitTycoon: both what? I can name about 5 screencast apps.....
[08:19] <echo083> bazhang, i don't exactly see what you are talking about but ok :)
[08:19] <TransitTycoon> ActionParsnip: bazhang: Ive tried all of them, and besides, my problem is different. These programs can either record internal audio, or my mic picking up the internal audio. I want it to record the internal audio, because my mic is rubbish
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> TransitTycoon: tried Eidete?
[08:20] <TransitTycoon> ActionParsnip: *Facepalm* ; my recorder is not the problem. Audio routing is.
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> TransitTycoon: or Tibesti?
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> !info eidete
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/help-test-new-screen-recording-app-eidete
[08:20] <ruslan_osmanov> hi. what happened with https://one.ununtu.com/notes? It doesn't work for me anymore.
[08:20] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  what? an artical thatgs not about a new icon theme? ;P
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> TransitTycoon: have you set the correct mic as the input device?
[08:21] <TransitTycoon> ActionParsnip: Unless (I don't recall) you can show me a recorder that records a Mic stream and an internal audio stream simeataneously.
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> TransitTycoon: not something I do, I am only aware of some of the available apps
[08:21] <daze> There is an application icon in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/whatever.svg. I put a modified icon in ~/.icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/whatever.svg. Should my new Icon override the original (for the current user)? how does the icon resolver and hierarchy work? any links to read on? (Ubuntu 12, Gnome, Unity) :)
[08:21] <TransitTycoon> ActionParsnip: ? My mic works, and I can get it to play on the speakers.
[08:22] <TransitTycoon> ActionParsnip: But I what I really want, is for my mic input to be recognized as internal audio.
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> TransitTycoon: so a 'record what I hear' situation?
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> TransitTycoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJO5rHI6akM   may help
[08:24] <TransitTycoon> ActionParsnip: Yah, sort of. Internal audio would be any sound that plays on your computer.
[08:24] <TransitTycoon> hmm
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> TransitTycoon: could even message the author of the vid for some tips :)
[08:24] <Dr_Willis> i never can get 'recordmydesktop' to save teh sound im hearing. got it working once.. and was never able to do it again. ;)
[08:24] <TransitTycoon> ActionParsnip: I don't think you understand my question
[08:25] <MonkeyDust> Dr_Willis  kazam doesnt record sound either
[08:25] <TransitTycoon> ActionParsnip: I know how to do that already.
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> MonkeyDust:  well.. baked beans! ;(
[08:25] <TransitTycoon> ActionParsnip: But, here is the issue; record what you hear does not apply to you hearing your own microphone ~
[08:26] <L3top> TransitTycoon: I do not believe alsa can record both at the same time. I am not familiar with .25, but I know it has been an issue for a long time. Let me see if I can find you a link.
[08:27] <TransitTycoon> L3top: hmmm, so you are aware of this? IE, internal Audio and Mic not being able to be recorded by one device?
[08:27] <L3top> eg you can only record one input device at a time... (your output becomes an input in this case as well as your mic)
[08:29] <L3top> TransitTycoon: do you have pulse installed?
[08:29] <L3top> As memory serves... it sort of came to be to address this issue...
[08:29] <TransitTycoon> L3top: Interesting, and there is no way to transfer the input back to "output"? As said, I got my mic to play over my speakers along with a youtube video, but when I recorded, the recording software (altered to pick up internal audio) only picked up youtube.
[08:29] <TransitTycoon> L3top: Yah, its a pretty fresh ubuntu install
[08:30] <L3top> I believe pulse is the solution...  look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1687396
[08:33] <TransitTycoon> L3top: Wow, looks like you found it; I am impressed
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> i thought jackd+pulse :) but i can barely get jackd working
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> i want to be able to talk into my mic. and sound like Mikey Mouse over skype calls... ;)
[08:36] <TransitTycoon> Dr_Willis: Why does Jack exist when I have never had any luck getting it to work without a headache?
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> i was able to do that years ago with my windows box and creative s.
[08:36] <TransitTycoon> lol
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> TransitTycoon:  i got it working once.. to reccord 'what i hear' with gtkrecordmydesktop.. worked well.. but the next day. icouldent repeate teh feat.
[08:37] <TransitTycoon> Dr_Willis: Well I already got that far; it was easy
[08:37] <TransitTycoon> err
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> i got a $20 'recoreds from video out to sdcard' gizmo i use now a days to record stuff
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> TransitTycoon:  write a guide on how ya dide it. I never can get it working again
[08:37] <TransitTycoon> except, "Record what I hear" didnt include me hearing my mic
[08:38] <TransitTycoon> Dr_Willis: download pulseaudio-volume control
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> had to have specific apps running.. and recording for the controls to even show up in the pulse control box's   was the issue i had i beliuve
[08:38] <TransitTycoon> Dr_Willis: And go to record tab
[08:38] <TransitTycoon> Yah
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> so i think i had to start the app recording. then paused it.. then messed with the pavcongrol app... and then.. well.. it got confused
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> and i got confused ;)
[08:39] <TransitTycoon> well when you start recording, it pops up in the volume control, and you just set it to "monitor of built in blah blah blah"
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> then i was playing with jackd also at the same time following some other guides
[08:40] <TransitTycoon> ... that probably did it
[08:40] <TransitTycoon> I could never get rosegarden working reliably :(
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> but ive not tried this task again in 12.04
[08:42] <MonkeyDust> TransitTycoon  technically, a rosegarden question is for this channel, but i guess #ubuntustudio is more suited
[08:43] <TransitTycoon> MonkeyDust: It was the issue a few years back, anyways... brb
[08:43] <Dr_Willis> sound can still be a mess  in ubuntu sadly. ;(
[08:43] <smw> ActionParsnip, still here?
[08:43] <ActionParsnip> smw: aye
[08:44] <asfsdfad> hello?
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> jello
[08:44] <smw> ActionParsnip, I managed to look up the url for super grub disk online, chroot into my system using the restore disk I had, wget it, burn it (taking out the disk it was booting off of), and then booting with grub2
[08:45] <smw> ActionParsnip, I still have no idea what is wrong...
[08:45] <smw> but the grub2 disk from the internet works perfectly...
[08:45] <niluje> My ubuntu (12.04 lts, unity) was responsive. I need to reboot every ~15 days, as it becomes less and less responsive (changing of workspaces takes a few ms). Is it a known issue?
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> smw: the Ubuntu liveCD has all the stuff you need on it, no need for an extra CD....
[08:45] <asfsdfad> thanks,I just test my ircclient
[08:45] <smw> ActionParsnip, really? It has something to boot the linux already there?
[08:46] <smw> ActionParsnip, I needed the grub live cd because the grub installed on my system was not booting
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> smw: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video/
[08:46] <smw> ActionParsnip, and I did not have the livecd, just the alternative install cd
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> smw: you can use the alternate CD too, same difference
[08:47] <smw> ActionParsnip, I did a reinstall of grub!
[08:47] <smw> ActionParsnip, grub install /dev/sda
[08:47] <smw> ActionParsnip, it did not work
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> smw: when the text installer starts asking for input, press CTRL+ALT+F2
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> smw: you can do a bit more than than in a chroot
[08:48] <smw> ActionParsnip, whatever, I now have full access to my ubuntu system
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> smw: nice :)
[08:48] <smw> ActionParsnip, do you have recommendations for fixing booting?
[08:48] <smw> ActionParsnip, I don't want to be tied to a live cd to boot...
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> smw: that guide is what I recommend to users with grub issues
[08:49] <smw> ActionParsnip, have you ever seen one where grub did not come up at all?
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> thers that boot-repair tool also. and iove also insgtsalled  grub to a spare tiny flash drive as a backup 'boot my system' device
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> perhaps try installing it to a flash drive as a test
[08:50] <smw> the bios seems to never pass off to grub.
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> smw: tried holding shift at boot?
[08:50] <smw> ActionParsnip, there is no grub...
[08:50] <smw> and yes
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> smw: then the BIOS sounds like it needs configuring
[08:50] <smw> I looked, there is no reason in the BIOS
[08:51] <smw> ActionParsnip, haha. The commands she use are the exact same things I did
[08:51]  * L3top asks again do you have hw virtualization option/enabled in BIOS smw?
[08:52] <smw> L3top, yes, it has always been enabled
[08:52] <TransitTycoon> L3top: The thread didnt solve my problem; it just got me where I am right now.
[08:52] <smw> L3top, I enabled it a long time ago
[08:52] <L3top> try disabling it.
[08:53] <smw> ActionParsnip, I even did the same bind commands :-P
[08:53] <TransitTycoon> L3top: essentially I need to run two recording programs; one for my internal audio, one for my external audio. I want to just use one so I don't have to bother with editing, and re-rendering
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> smw: what if you run:  sudo update-grub   in the chroot, did you do that?
[08:54] <smw> ActionParsnip, yep
[08:54] <smw> ActionParsnip, but that does not help anyways because that updates the grub.cfg
[08:55] <smw> and it never gets to that stage
[08:55] <smw> ActionParsnip, anyways, thanks for the help. I am going to go rebooting/debugging.
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> smw: then i'd check your BIOS out
[08:55] <shafi> Hi, I have installed pdnsd in my ubuntu server 12.4 from this link http://jbolos.com/2011/07/speeding-up-internet-browsing-on-linux-using-pdnsd-for-persistent-dns-caching/ but now the clients are not able to ping any domain name, but they are able to ping the IP of a specific domain. Any idea? Thanks.
[08:55] <smw> ActionParsnip, now that I have a functional desktop, I can test and debug much easier
[08:56] <RandomDude123> How to hide the side menu in unity?
[08:56] <smw> ActionParsnip, the stuff you mentioned doing are the first things I tried :-)
[08:56] <smw> ActionParsnip, apparently I know my grub 101
[08:56] <smw> ActionParsnip, even though I was making it up on the spot ;-)
[08:57] <DJones> RandomDude123: Which version of Ubuntu are you using, 12.04?
[08:57] <smw> bye ActionParsnip
[08:57] <RandomDude123> Yes, the new LTS.
[08:57] <sdf_hitwh_ict> hi, this is a test
[08:57] <shafi> any one could help please?
[08:58] <wookienz> guys if i renew a ssl cert do i need to rek it?
[08:58] <MonkeyDust> RandomDude123  install and use MyUnity
[08:58] <DJones> RandomDude123: If you go to your appearance settings, and Behaviour tab, there is an "Auto-hide the launcher" on/off button http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity/101415#101415
[08:58] <wookienz> key
[08:58] <RandomDude123> Okay, thanks.
[09:00] <remus_> guys, how can I force delete an instance ?
[09:01] <remus_> i keep getting this error
[09:01] <remus_> TRACE nova InstanceNotFound: Instance instance-00000005 could not be found.
[09:01] <remus_> in nova-compute.log
[09:04] <phanindraramesh> Hai all, is there any tool in ubuntu that takes ttf font file as input, gives the font information in xml format as output??
[09:04] <glitsj16> shafi: could you pastebin both your /etc/default/pdnsd and /etc/pdnsd.conf? Very hard to say what's going on with pdnsd without those for starters...
[09:05] <smw> ActionParsnip, it works!
[09:05] <Benkinooby> !uefi
[09:05] <smw> ActionParsnip, everything is operational. Thanks again
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> smw: np :)
[09:05] <smw> ActionParsnip, damn that scared me to death
[09:06] <smw> ActionParsnip, I now have another disk to add to my emergency kit :-)
[09:06] <asd_hitwh_ict> hello?
[09:06] <smw> ActionParsnip, I highly recommend the supergrub disk ;-)
[09:07] <smw> ActionParsnip, more than anything, it let me boot my computer so 1. I knew it was possible and 2. could calm down enough to fix it.
[09:07] <asd_hitwh_ict> anybody can see me?
[09:07] <fishbait> okay i have installed switch mod but i can't ping my router
[09:07] <fishbait> i haven't added any routes
[09:07] <smw> ActionParsnip, although, if I had not left my laptop at work, I would have been calm :-P
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> asd_hitwh_ict:  if we say no... ;)
[09:07] <asd_hitwh_ict> lol
[09:07] <fishbait> its a fresh install with only switch mods installed
[09:09] <asd_hitwh_ict> ÎÒÊÇÖÐ¹úÈË
[09:09] <Chuck_Norris> aloha all :D
[09:09] <Chuck_Norris> *sounds of wind*
[09:09] <fishbait> i can;t ping my router
[09:09] <DJones> asd_hitwh_ict: People can see you
[09:09] <Dr_Willis> asd_hitwh_ict:  you have a ubuntu support issue?
[09:10] <asd_hitwh_ict> no, i just write a prog by myself
[09:10] <asd_hitwh_ict> im in win7
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> sorry to hear that.. have a nie day..
[09:10] <MonkeyDust> asd_hitwh_ict  this is the support channel
[09:10] <DJones> asd_hitwh_ict: The Windows channel is ##windows
[09:10] <fidel> asd_hitwh_ict: we are asking as this channel usually limit itself to ubuntu-support related questions
[09:10] <fidel> hrhr - too late
[09:11] <asd_hitwh_ict> sorry, i have ubuntu, i just want take a test
[09:11] <Chuck_Norris> fidel: r8168?
[09:11] <asd_hitwh_ict> im sorry about that
[09:11] <bazhang> #test asd_hitwh_ict
[09:11] <Chuck_Norris> sry i meant fishbait
[09:11] <fidel> Chuck_Norris: you mean someone else right?
[09:11] <Chuck_Norris> ye
[09:12] <fishbait> realtek 8111/8168B (rev 03) nic
[09:12] <asd_hitwh_ict> ok, i will
[09:13] <Chuck_Norris> fishbait: and what's happend with the walkthrough that i gave you yesterday?
[09:13] <Chuck_Norris> this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899
[09:14] <fishbait> i have no idea it was working then dns wouldn't stick across boots chmod screwed it up so re-install install switchmod drivers and now this
[09:14] <fishbait> that is what i just did
[09:14] <shafi> thanks glitsj16 pleas see the files here: http://pastebin.com/0LuGXLs2
[09:15] <glitsj16> shafi: thanks, i'll have a look and report back here
[09:15] <shafi> I have already add my ISP dns in the file
[09:15] <shafi> glitsj16, tnk u
[09:15] <fishbait> and then i forced it to 100baseTx-fd to get it to work
[09:15] <karlhunt> I have a problem where gnome 3 suddenly decided to load classic mode no matter what I select. I have tried reinstalling but still no dice.
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> karlhunt:  make sure your 3d video drivers are working
[09:16] <MonkeyDust> <3 classic mode
[09:16] <Benkinooby> karlhunt, you do that my using the jockey program
[09:17] <adamk> Last I checked, jockey does not tell you if you have 3D acceleration, it simply informs you if there are any restricted drivers available.
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> and if they are in use
[09:17] <fishbait> chuck_norris followed that walkthough progress but no dicef then mii-tool -F 100baseTx-fd eth0
[09:17] <karlhunt> Dr_Willis, I have intel hd 3000 integrated graphics. Everything else graphics related is ok. How do I check?
[09:18] <fishbait> and worked there now but can't ping router
[09:18] <Dr_Willis> karlhunt:  inel are included by default.. so that sort of shoots down the obvious problems
[09:19] <Chuck_Norris> fishbait: idk, i'm not able to help you
[09:19] <The_Explorer> Question: System wide lag/stutter(even programs already loaded) SATA Hard drive local transfers (Large files)
[09:19] <karlhunt> Dr_Willis, I figured that. It was fine for ages them one day blamo. Can't remember if I applied and updates or not. I tried removing gnome-shell and re-installing it
[09:19] <fishbait> well the only difference is that eth0:avahi isn't there
[09:21] <fishbait> reboot after miitool -F 100baseTx-fd and magically it works
[09:22] <fishbait> that forces it to 100mbps full duplex
[09:22] <glitsj16> shafi: cnfiguratin looks good, but I suspect 12.04's changes regarding DNS could be the issue. See http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ for more info ...
[09:22] <MonkeyDust> !find avahi | fishbait
[09:23] <fishbait> don't need to mii-tool -F 100baseTx-fd worked
[09:23] <shafi> many thanks glitsj16
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> karlhunt:  as a test try making a new user . see if it works for them
[09:23] <karlhunt> Dr_Willis, good idea ill give that a bash
[09:25] <fishbait> chuck_norris for future reference i think that the switchmods driver doesn't support 1000baseTx aka gigabit ethernetso u use mii-tool -F 100baseTx-fd to force it to use 100mbps speeds
[09:26] <Chuck_Norris> ye, and  i think you can do it with "iwconfig" as well, that's what i think
[09:26] <cache_za> i installed 12.04 only to find that dns change made my local network servers disappear, annoying
[09:26] <MonkeyDust> cache_za  start from the beginning
[09:26] <fishbait> iwconfig only with wireless i think
[09:26] <karlhunt> Dr_Willis, nil point :-( still gnome classic
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> my local netwwok servers started showing up in 12.04 ;) go figure
[09:26] <fishbait> but usefull info non the less
[09:27] <Dr_Willis> karlhunt:  perhaps stop lightdm, login to console. use startx and look for some error messages on the console .  (just guessing now)
[09:27] <fishbait> eitherway thank you for the help
[09:27] <Chuck_Norris> ye, np
[09:28] <jamesloiz> hay
[09:29] <jamesloiz> http://www.123siteweb.fr/jamesloiseau
[09:29] <Dr_Willis> random spammage?
[09:30] <DJones> jamesloiz: Do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[09:30] <bazhang> jamesloiz, dont paste that here
[09:30] <jamesloiz> ye
[09:30] <dada_hitwh_ict> .
[09:30] <jamesloiz> how can i install openoffice
[09:30] <jamesloiz> the old version
[09:30] <jamesloiz> libreoffice is different :(
[09:31] <Dr_Willis> id say learn libreoffice.
[09:31] <MonkeyDust> !openoffice| jamesloiz
[09:31] <MonkeyDust> see?
[09:31] <Guest61884> hi
[09:31] <jamesloiz> ahum ye
[09:31] <jamesloiz> seems i get a BadSomething error
[09:31] <Dr_Willis> Openoffice is basically dead isent it?
[09:31] <jamesloiz> related to X or something
[09:32] <Dr_Willis> jamesloiz:  it may be in your Xsomthing.log in your home dir
[09:32] <knightrider> hi
[09:32] <jamesloiz> hum
[09:32] <knightrider> hi hih
[09:33] <MonkeyDust> knightrider  this is the ubuntu support channel
[09:33] <x_> why the switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice?
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> oracle killed Openoffice dident they?
[09:33] <MonkeyDust> x_  because of oracle
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> oracle is good at ruining  good projects
[09:33] <knightrider> i know MonkeyDust , thats for the welcome greeting
[09:34] <knightrider> thanks
[09:34] <MonkeyDust> x_  guess openoffice is no longer open source, since oracle bought it
[09:34] <Dr_Willis> So its ClosedOffice?
[09:34] <knightrider> MonkeyDust,  wheres the links?
[09:34] <knightrider> lolXD
[09:34] <openvoid_> !antivirus self
[09:35] <ikonia> !antivirus | openvoid_
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> openvoid_:  you can do /meg ubottu  factoidname
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> oops /msg ;)
[09:35] <glitsj16> fishbait: trying to follow your thread ... you mentioned getting it to work but not reviving a reboot, editing /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf is known to fix that part of the puzzle... have you tried that already?
[09:36] <openvoid_> thanks
[09:36] <gbear14275> anyone know anything about this?  http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=21385&lang=eng&OSVersion=&DownloadType=Firmware
[09:36] <karlhunt> Dr_Willis, couldn't see anything. Need to figure this out I don't want to reinstall
[09:36] <x_> I hadn't realized that Oracle bought OpenOffice, MonkeyDust ? Wow.
[09:36] <Dr_Willis> x_:  they sort of bought SUN...
[09:36] <cylon1729> hi
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> 2 years ago? 3?
[09:37] <AlanBell> x_: oracle bought sun, messed up openoffice for a bit, caused the libreoffice fork then gave the bits to the apache foundation who are the current maintainers of Apache OpenOffice
[09:37] <gbear14275> linux microcode update?  anyone heard of it?
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> im suprised google dident gobble them up.
[09:38] <AlanBell> x_: the supported fork in Ubuntu is libreoffice, but in theory apache openoffice could make a comeback one day
[09:38] <yeats> gbear14275: what's your actual question?
[09:39] <MonkeyDust> gbear14275  better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:39] <gbear14275> yeats, MonkeyDust, wondering if its applicable to my system
[09:39] <mimicc> anyone on around here who can help me understand why my os keeps crashing...had current ubuntu now on xubuntu still same problems with computer freezing then will not boot in any mode from hard drive or from original usb but if i wait a few hours apparently it will boot as if nothing happened
[09:39] <Tazen_> :)
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> mimicc:  desktop? Laptop?  sounds like a hardware issue some where
[09:40] <AlanBell> mimicc: try memtest86 overnight
[09:41] <mimicc> really? i had been told maybe hardware but not specifics adn a windows user insisted that wasnt it unfortunately has been my only source or live help without being able to log on here do you think it could be a failed RAM stick?
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> mimicc:  could be a loose ram stick.. could be most anything.
[09:42] <fidel> mimicc: if you consider ram being an issue - run memtest
[09:42] <MonkeyDust> mimicc  and use more interpunction to make your questions readable, pls :)
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> open it up. dust it out. reseat all ram and cablesd.. look for mice :)
[09:42] <gbear14275> wasn't sure if ubuntu did anything with the updates...  generally... looking for info (google a little thin)
[09:43] <gbear14275> sorry, flaky hotel wifi
[09:43] <mimicc> ahhh ok I had tried memory and it said there were some errors i didnt get the code but then today it sadi there were none...if that is the case does it mean its fixed as of now or just that something was screwy with the tests? first time i had to run those.
[09:43] <mimicc> oh sure! sorry.
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> memory good then bad.. id definmatly reseat the ram.
[09:43] <yeats> gbear14275: you'd want to check with your system vendor about that - it's not related to the OS
[09:43] <gbear14275> yeats, you sure... just found this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-microcode
[09:44] <mimicc> okay. so the people who make the actual hardware is who i need to talk to? how would i reset ram?
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> mimicc:  remove ram chip, dust it off. plug it  back in.
[09:44] <mimicc> sounds simple enough
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> rather trivial  to do. if  you can gete to it
[09:44] <x_> guess I'm over a year behind the curve, MonkeyDust : http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2011/04/oracle-gives-up-on-ooo-after-community-forks-the-project/
[09:44] <yeats> gbear14275: no idea, sorry
[09:44] <fidel> mimicc: you dont reset ram - you can check if ist connect as expected and then run repeating tests using memtest
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> 'reseat' not 'reset'
[09:45] <gbear14275> yeats, it seems to be a mystery...  but glad I found a package relating to it
[09:45] <yeats> !info intel-microcode
[09:45] <asdf_hitwh_ict> .
[09:45] <MonkeyDust> x_  now you know, so at least, this channel has been useful to you :)
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> but most ram chiips thesd days are  very well held in. with clips
[09:46] <karlhunt> Dr_Willis, getting there found a useful error while running glxinfo /usr/lib/gnome-session/gnome-session-check-accelerated-helper: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1
[09:46] <mimicc> I believe I can get to it...ah, reseat makes more sense now that I think about it...it is a pretty old desktop...good stuff inside i have been told but I am fairly certain it's not an issue to get out and back in
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> karlhunt:  and those libs are used by the 3d stuff.
[09:47] <Dr_Willis> !find libGL.so.1
[09:47] <karlhunt> and same error in .xsession-errors
[09:47] <gbear14275> yeats, the thing that got me was the description said to put it in "/etc/firmware" and it would work... was suspicious
[09:47] <mimicc> I will try that, and hopefully find it is a good fix! Much appreciation Dr_Willis!
[09:47] <karlhunt> I tried apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx as that library is supposed to be part of that package
[09:48] <yeats> gbear14275: I would generally say if your system is running well, don't change anything firmware-related ;-0
[09:48] <karlhunt> but still no dice
[09:48] <asdf_hitwh_ict> .
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> mimicc:  if memtest says one slot/chip is bad.. you can gtry removeing it.. be sure to UNPLUG from the wall befor working on the insides.
[09:48] <bazhang> !test | asdf_hitwh_ict
[09:48] <bazhang> asdf_hitwh_ict, dont test here
[09:48] <mimicc> okay! I think that was what it said and maybe I knocked it back in place without knowing? If it were that loose...
[09:49] <mimicc> since tests when it started just now came back fine
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> mimicc:  if its old. a good dusting is worth doing.
[09:49] <mimicc> ahh
[09:49] <mimicc> will do! I have dust off this is fine right?
[09:49] <mimicc> Someone said to keep it running to avoid blowing dust into the hard drive?
[09:50] <gbear14275> yeats, indeed, thanks for the look
[09:51] <phanindraramesh> Hai all, is there any tool in ubuntu that takes ttf font file as input, gives the font information in xml format as output??
[09:53] <mimicc> thanks again! I'm gonna run the tests once more and perhaps dust/reseat as needed if problem comes up again. again- very much appreciated! it was giving me issues for weeks nice ot finally have a clear idea at least. =)
[09:54] <wylde_> mimicc: ideally you shouldnt' have your hands inside the case while it's powered up. You should also remove the power cord from the wall and Either discharge static by touching the case frame or using an anti-static strap.
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> unplug from wall befor working on it.
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> and hard drives have filters.  :0
[09:54] <knightrider> how do i find the torrant file?
[09:54] <wylde_> !torrents
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> !torrent
[09:54] <bazhang> knightrider, torrent for what
[09:55] <bazhang> !torrents | knightrider these?
[09:55] <xxoo> quit
[09:56] <knightrider> im trying todolwnload a free show  but its on a torrant... just trying to get a site to work that im on  torrantstream.org
[09:56] <bazhang> knightrider, thats not on topic for this network
[09:57] <knightrider> i know you guy deal with bittorrant stuff
[09:57] <phanindraramesh> Hai all, I have a sony pendrive of 8gb size. but it is showing only 1.2 gb. Gparted is showing that 6.34 gb is unallocated. what shall i do???
[09:57] <bazhang> knightrider, software, not here to find torrents
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> theres 100's of torrent beginner guides out therer.
[09:58] <knightrider> i just wanted to know wheres the defalt torrant location,for bittorrant
[09:58] <Chuck_Norris> phanindraramesh: expand the 1.2 partition  to complete the disk
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh:  make a partition for tghe unallocated space.. or resize the esixting partition
[09:58] <nitro282> salve
[09:58] <Chuck_Norris> the i meant resize
[09:58] <knightrider> Dr_Willis,  ok
[09:58] <nitro282> ho un problema, ieri ho inserito l'hd usb
[09:59] <DJones> !it | nitro282
[09:59] <knightrider> bazhang, ok
[09:59] <nitro282> #ubuntu.it
[09:59] <phanindraramesh> Chuck_Norris, how can i extend the existing partition?
[09:59] <phanindraramesh> Dr_Willis,  how can i extend the existing partition?
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> gparted is our friend phanindraramesh  ;)
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> backup  imporntant data first.
[10:00] <phanindraramesh> Dr_Willis, there is nothing in the pendrive
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh:  you dident 'dd' an iso file to the flash drive did you:
[10:00] <Chuck_Norris> plug the drive, open gparted,  unmount the drive, right click on the 1.2 partition then resize
[10:01] <phanindraramesh> Dr_Willis, I did. I created a ubuntu 12.04 bootable usb from the pendrive
[10:01] <Chuck_Norris> finaly aply changes -.-
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh:  thats why then. :) you will need to use 'dd' to zero the mbr/drive. then repartition it to use all space.
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh:  i bet its still showung up as nan  iso9660 filesystem
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> gparted might be able to delete the iso9660 fs/partition
[10:02] <phanindraramesh> Dr_Willis, I formatted it after installing ubuntu
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> see what gparted can do then i guess.
[10:02] <phanindraramesh> Dr_Willis, it is showing the flags as boot
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> boot flags dont menan much theese days ;)
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> id say backup any data you want to keep from it. delete partitons, and remake them as you want
[10:05] <phanindraramesh> Dr_Willis, I deteted the partitions. but there are 2 partitions in  gparted. How can I add them?
[10:06] <phanindraramesh> Dr_Willis, Got it now. Thank you
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> if you delete them all it will all be unallocated space. then  make a new partition
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> dont forget to apply changes...
[10:09] <karlhunt> Dr_Willis, the file is there http://pastebin.com/2xm9BHpB but still gnome classic and no glxinfo
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> 3d isent working.. so thats the root of the issue..
[10:10] <Ormie> how do I download the end of life version of ubuntu server?
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> its on the archive servers i belive Ormie
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> !eol
[10:11] <hjsfk432745> hello
[10:11] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[10:11] <phanindraramesh> Dr_Willis, gparted is showing the message  "one operation pending" for a long time. i.e deleting the 1.12 gb
[10:11]  * Dr_Willis has no idea why you would wana eol server...
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh:  check the arows. it may show details.
[10:11] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  has a talent for inventing the strangest questions
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> phanindraramesh:  it may be confused by it beingg an ISO image at one time. thats why i always zero mine out wwith dd , befor using gparted
[10:12] <phanindraramesh> Dr_Willis, how can i zero the dd?
[10:12] <hjsfk432745> can someone help me with disabling my flash hardware acceleration?
[10:12] <Darkasakerionz> Hi! Anyone know how to start a process inside a screen from a bash script?
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> brb. battery is dead
[10:13] <cyberdo> hjsfk432745: right click on an applet and select settings
[10:13] <hjsfk432745> yes but it doesnt work. i cklick on it, but it is still on
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> Darkasakerionz  from the man pages : -d -m   Start screen in "detached" mode. This creates a new session but doesn't attach to it. This is useful for system startup scripts.
[10:14] <cyberdo> hjsfk432745: you might need to reload the applet (refresh the page)
[10:14] <Darkasakerionz> MonkeyDust, but, with that command can you attach in to a screen from the bash a process?
[10:14] <hjsfk432745> ye stil on
[10:15] <cyberdo> hjsfk432745: then I have no idea
[10:15] <hjsfk432745> hmmmm
[10:15] <MonkeyDust> Darkasakerionz  i'm not sure i understand the question
[10:16] <angs> I am using ubuntu 12.04. how/where can I see explanation of color codes in the terminal?
[10:16] <Darkasakerionz> MonkeyDust, Sorry I have a worst level of English.
[10:16] <Darkasakerionz> MonkeyDust, the point it's to start a screen and execute an script inside that screen, only with a bash script also
[10:17] <phanindraramesh> Chuck_Norris, the 1.2 gb partition is mounted on /dev/sda1 and the other is mounted  on /dev/sda2. I cannot resize the poartition
[10:17] <subhojit_> how to undo a patch in ubuntu?
[10:17] <MonkeyDust> Darkasakerionz  then, yes, i guess screen -d -m is what you need
[10:18] <wylde_> Darkasakerionz: #bash may be  able to assist you as well. :)
[10:18] <Chuck_Norris> phanindraramesh: close gparted and: gksu gparted
[10:19] <phanindraramesh> Chuck_Norris, still I cannot resize the partition
[10:19] <Chuck_Norris> btw phanindraramesh i like doing "dd" deleting everything then right click > format as, thats it
[10:20] <Chuck_Norris> paste an image with the: "cannot resize partition"
[10:21] <Darkasakerionz> MonkeyDust, wylde_ thanks
[10:23] <phanindraramesh> Chuck_Norris, http://postimage.org/image/r7l7sxu2v/5407904e/is the link. it did not give any message cannot resize. but there is no space to increase the volume
[10:25] <Chuck_Norris> phanindraramesh: right click on the grey unalocated partition and format it as you like
[10:25] <MonkeyDust> phanindraramesh  first reduce the unallocated partition, i guess
[10:26] <Chuck_Norris> if you'll using this partition with windows then format it as NTFS
[10:26] <Chuck_Norris> ye, if you wanna make the 1.2 partition bigger so, resize the grey partition
[10:28] <toasty>  Hi.  Suddenly my ubuntu fails to load and I get the error message.. "No init found.  Try passing the init=bootarg.  I typed init=bootarg at the command prompt and it says "/bin/sh: bootarg.: not found"  I have no idea what any of this means O.o

[10:32] <MonkeyDust> phanindraramesh  you're on the right track to learn partitioning
[10:33] <Chuck_Norris> phanindraramesh: click on the grey buton for applying changes
[10:35] <phanindraramesh> Chuck_Norris, which grey button?
[10:35] <Chuck_Norris> green buton
[10:35] <Chuck_Norris> i meant -.-
[10:38] <dariusz1> toasty: use gparted in livecd/usb option check yours linux partition
[10:38] <phanindraramesh> Chuck_Norris, it worked. thank you

[11:00] <shiznatix> Hi. I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed and have the latest eclipse ide as well. I "pinned" the Eclipse icon to the taskbar thing and when I click the icon, it opens eclipse. The problem though is that after eclipse is already running, if I click the icon again it tries to open eclipse again instead of opening the currently existing window. How can I solve this so that I can jump from browser-to-eclipse quickly?
[11:01] <wylde_> anyone know off the top of their head how to redirect the output of a bash command to the clipboard?
[11:02] <MonkeyDust> shiznatix  maybe in preferences, you can select 'open one instance' or so
[11:03] <xxCORZAHxx> Hi i am trying to install java on lubuntu 10.04, But i had trouble installing the package can anyone help?
[11:04] <reisio> xxCORZAHxx: trouble?
[11:04] <xxCORZAHxx> I only recently Installed Lubuntu
[11:05] <reisio> xxCORZAHxx: is that the trouble, or are you just repeating yourself?
[11:05] <xxCORZAHxx> I cant install java on Lubuntu 10.04
[11:05] <MonkeyDust> xxCORZAHxx  https://www.duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+10.04+java
[11:07] <reisio> xxCORZAHxx: what happens when you try
[11:07] <shiznatix> MonkeyDust, there isn't such an option it seams since they want people to be able to open multiple workspaces at a time. Is there nothing that will show "currently open applications" like a taskbar on this Ubuntu?
[11:07] <xxCORZAHxx> it is updating first
[11:08] <Ormie> is ubuntu 8.04 server bundled with python?
[11:08] <MonkeyDust> !8.04
[11:09] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  is it server?
[11:09] <Ormie> Yes
[11:09] <xxCORZAHxx> Ormie i suggest getting Lubuntu! its lightweight.
[11:10] <D[4]ni> i'm on 12.04, and everytime i plug in my iphone, nautilus pops up and displays the phone's documents folder. how do i prevent this?
[11:11] <Ormie> xxCORZAHxx: i would also suggest you answer me yes or no with my question first!
[11:11] <reisio> xxCORZAHxx: well that's not a very sound strategy
[11:11] <reisio> xxCORZAHxx: if something doesn't work on 12.04, you should just fix it
[11:11] <reisio> ...on 12.04
[11:11] <xxCORZAHxx> I am not sure Ormie
[11:12] <xxCORZAHxx> I need help making a irc channel
[11:13] <ikonia> xxCORZAHxx: ask in #freenode
[11:13] <wylde_> xxCORZAHxx:  /join #whateveryouwant
[11:13] <fidel> xxCORZAHxx: but consider reading the freenode faq first - before you just start doing things ;)
[11:17] <tga> hey, I am trying to undelete some files using extundelete
[11:17] <tga> any idea why it would say 6176 recoverable inodes found but not copy _anything_ to the recovered dir?
[11:18] <xxCORZAHxx> Can someoone help me create a IRC Server
[11:18] <ikonia> xxCORZAHxx: what are you not sure on ?
[11:18] <reisio> xxCORZAHxx: install inspircd and configure it

[11:31] <Dan_E> thank you
[11:32] <Guest14730> how can i remove the dashboard in ubuntu 12.04?

[11:36] <Chuck_Norris> oh! yeah! ubuntu-tweak i already have it install it
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> ubuntu-tweak is in the repos

[11:46] <reisio> Macready: Firefox win32?
[11:46] <Macready> Yeah...I know, it's hard - most useful stuff already has native Linux versions! Yes, a GUI app would be good.
[11:46] <reisio> Macready: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-13.0&os=win&lang=en-US
[11:46] <DJones> Macready: Notepad, thats a pretty simple app as well
[11:47] <Macready> That's true. Maybe Notepad++ . Can't get that for Linux I don't think.
[11:49] <chicognu> I have a cable modem conected to my laptotop trough ethernet and the adress is assinged using dhcp, the problem is: in windows everything is normal, in ubuntu 10.04 everything is normal, but in ubuntu 12.04 it do not work, what i can do ?

[11:53] <valentin_mu> hi guys, i got problems with google earth 6.2 in ubuntu 12.04 - i install it using .deb file from google site.
[11:53] <valentin_mu> as i launch it - i get unreadable characters everywhere.
[11:53] <chicognu> reisio, it is a specific bug from 12.04 ... all others o.s tested are working with my modem
[11:54] <fidel> valentin_mu: any (readable) error output?
[11:54] <reisio> chicognu: try updating your kernel, then
[11:54] <fidel> have you tried running it from cli to see (maybe) more output?
[11:54] <reisio> valentin_mu: why aren't you using googleearth-package from multiverse
[11:54] <valentin_mu> fidel: nope (
[11:54] <chicognu> reisio, there is no specific config to change ?
[11:55] <reisio> chicognu: there may be
[11:55] <fidel> valentin_mu: answering 2 questions with a single 'nope' usually starts confusing ppl ...at least me ;)
[11:56] <valentin_mu> fidel: sorry )
[11:56] <reisio> must be a Lisp user
[11:56] <valentin_mu> i had no any error output, and i have latest version of all installed packages
[11:58] <Chuck_Norris> valentin_mu: sudo apt-get install lsb-core ttf-mscorefonts-installer
[11:59] <valentin_mu> Chuck_Norris: i've already done it
[12:00] <mondokey> has anyone been able to install mondo on ubuntu 12.04?
[12:00] <Chuck_Norris> valentin_mu: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> !find mondo | mondokey
[12:01] <valentin_mu> Chuck_Norris: mscorefonts are also installed

[12:02] <mondokey> MonkeyDust: i am talking about mondorescue
[12:02] <Chuck_Norris> sry, i should... http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-make-google-earth-look-native-in-ubuntu/
[12:02] <fidel> mondokey: i dont see  package called like that in 12.04
[12:04] <Pici> mondokey: Looks like it was removed from Debian for being unmaintained and then subsequently from Ubuntu. See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mondo/+publishinghistory and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=629585
[12:04] <mondokey> mondo  is not part of the official repo
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> mondokey  start here http://www.mondorescue.org/support.shtml
[12:04] <Volkswagner> greetings, I'm running Ubuntu 8.04.4 on a VPS, Citadel indicates "can't connect to clamd" with this log message Can't connect to <IP_ADDRESS>:3310: Connection refused
[12:04] <valentin_mu> Chuck_Norris: i have another problem - i have no menu line  "File Edit View, etc" and all ciryllic symbols look corrupted
[12:05] <Volkswagner> It seems clamd is using a lot of memory 22322 clamav    25   0  149m 137m  496 S    0 17.9   0:00.00 clamd
[12:05] <valentin_mu> it's not about making it look "native" %)
[12:05] <mondokey> mondo is still alive and kicking : http://www.mondorescue.org/downloads.shtml
[12:05] <Chuck_Norris> valentin_mu: they will apear in the top unity panel
[12:06] <Volkswagner> If I try to run any commands against clamd I see segfault >>>> LibClamAV Error: mpool_malloc(): Can't allocate memory (262144 bytes).
[12:06] <sacarlson> Volkswagner: might want to restart it
[12:07] <Volkswagner> sacarlson, thanks I have restarted it, actually I had to kill pid and start as the clamd commands segFault
[12:07] <Volkswagner> It immediately jumps to high RAM use
[12:07] <Chuck_Norris> valentin_mu: if not so, ye there is another problem =P
[12:07] <valentin_mu> Chuck_Norris: but i dont see them there
[12:07] <sacarlson> Volkswagner: uninstall it?  do you really need virus protection?
[12:08] <valentin_mu> i use gnome-fallback mode
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> unless hes scanning h  the windows side of his system ie dosent
[12:08] <Volkswagner> I can't say I need it as I don't think It ever ran the entire time my mail server has been up, I just decided to try to tackle this issue again
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> there may be updated clamav ppas also
[12:09] <MonkeyDust> Volkswagner  if you have linux only, you don't really need a virusscanner
[12:09] <Chuck_Norris> valentin_mu: like some user says, try the google earth from universe or idk, reinstall or reconfigure the google earth
[12:09] <mondokey> the problem is that after executing
[12:10] <mondokey> wget   ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/ubuntu/12.04/mondorescue.pubkey | sudo apt-key add mondorescue.pubkey and then apt-get install mondo  apt-get complains that the packages can not be verified
[12:10] <Pici> mondokey: you need to run apt-get update first
[12:10] <Volkswagner> My wife was running MS windows until recently got her a MacBook, but she is not receptive to the change :(  I'm not sure Linux would have any better chance with Her
[12:11] <mondokey> i di run apt-get update after installing the key and then  attempted to install mondo and the problem remains the same
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> let her start having to do all the upkeep and maintance on her windows boxs and so forth.. and she will change her mind. :)
[12:11] <jemark> Volkswagner: my wife doesn't mind a different OS, she is using firefox the most of the time anyways
[12:11] <aboudreault> Hi ppl. I'm not able to configure my screen using xrandr. The monitor tells me that I am 1920x1080 @ 60hz but the screen is 2 inches to big on the right. what's the issue? (dual monitor)
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> aboudreault:  you are not using a TV as a monitor are you?
[12:12] <aboudreault> Dr_Willis, no, normal 23inches monitor. Connected on a DisplayPort
[12:12] <valentin_mu> Chuck_Norris: from universe or idk - sorry, what do you mean by that?
[12:13] <Volkswagner> Am I hearing that the ClamAV issue is not worth the effort to diagnose?
[12:13] <Chuck_Norris> valentin_mu: sudo apt-get install googleearth-package
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> Volkswagner  not really
[12:14] <Volkswagner> is it possible that ClamAV wants to use more memory than is available, if so How do I check that?
[12:14] <sacarlson> Volkswagner: to me it's a waist of resources,  yes I would think it's needs too much mem for a vps
[12:15] <sacarlson> Volkswagner: you can check mem with top
[12:15] <valentin_mu> Chuck_Norris: thanks, i'll try it now
[12:15] <Chuck_Norris> np
[12:15] <Volkswagner> sacarlson, I don't see mem limit in clamd.conf, could it be set elsewhere?
[12:16] <Volkswagner> clamd is using "only" 17% of memory, so I believe the system could offer more if clamd requested it
[12:17] <Volkswagner> from top >> 22322 clamav    25   0  149m 137m  496 S    0 17.9   0:00.00 clamd
[12:17] <sacarlson> Volkswagner: yes there can be set limits for apps but I'm not sure where they are set
[12:19] <Volkswagner> I will heed the advice and apt-get purge clamav :)  if after a quick query at #clamAV yields no help
[12:19] <Volkswagner> thanks folks
[12:20] <valentin_mu> i tryed both deb from google and deb made by googleearth-package - they both have problem with encoding :(
[12:21] <valentin_mu> is there anyone who can help?

[12:22] <Dr_Willis> since google earth is closed srce  you may wan tto check their support pages and the forums or askubuntu.com
[12:22] <MonkeyDust> wubino  32 on 64 yes    64 on 32 no
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> haxxpop  ^^
[12:23] <Dr_Willis> wubino:  dependson what you are using java for
[12:23] <wubino> hadoop but it is not a production environment
[12:24] <MonkeyDust> wubino  and depends on your needs
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> the open soured java does all i need
[12:24] <linux> how do I figure if my printer is serial or parallel?
[12:24] <wubino> is there a java_home manager to make use of multiple versions?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> linux i doubt if you hae a serial printer
[12:25] <sacarlson> linux most new printers are usb, older were parallel
[12:25] <zykotick9> linux: chances are it's parallel, i don't remember seeing a serial printer
[12:25] <compdoc> linux, describe the connector on the printer
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> unless its 20+ yrs old
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> kve had serial printers. on my C64
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> parallel are getting rather uare also :)
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> rare
[12:26] <linux> ok, and if its parallel, "parallel:/dev/lp0" would be right, right?
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> the cups interface normally sees them automatically
[12:26] <linux> How do I list the parallel devices connected to my computer?
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> are you even sure its parallel?
[12:27] <linux> I've installed a ddl driver.
[12:27] <linux> no, not sure.
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> how old is this printer?
[12:27] <MonkeyDust> ddl, isnt that a windows thing?
[12:28] <linux> It has 15/20 years  old. I think, I bough it used. not sure. but its a dot matrix printer, very old.
[12:29] <wylde_> o.O I haven't seen one of those in ages.
[12:29] <MonkeyDust> we had a dot matrix in the 1980's :)
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> you do have  ino ribbin for it? '_
[12:29] <DarkVador1> lol. sup
[12:29] <DarkVador1> Do people still use ubuntu?
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> heh.. no ribbon no printing

[12:31] <Dr_Willis> i got a few big boxs of  form feed  address labels
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[12:31] <linux> Is there a command I could use to list all /dev
[12:32] <ikonia> linux: ls -la /dev
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> last parallel printer i uised..  i plugged it in.. and it auto configured.. which suprised me
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> plug it in.. fire up the cups web inerface. and see if its seen
[12:33] <theQ_> mmm

[12:55] <Guest65044> hi
[12:55] <wylde_> !rootirc
[12:57] <intore> hi, i have many problems printing from ubuntu 11.10 with a brother printer. bad characters, stack errors, slow, ...could you help me please?
[12:59] <ProtekNickz> intore: whar model?
[12:59] <ProtekNickz> what*
[12:59] <Jonii_> What FLOSS VoIP client would you recommend for Ubuntu?
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> !voip
[13:00] <Jonii_> 12.04 Unity
[13:00] <ProtekNickz> intore: what model? Brother ?????
[13:00] <intore> ProtekNickz, HL 5250DN
[13:01] <bieb> I have added a repository for apt.. when I run at-get update ir tells me Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open   is there a way to force it? There are no other packagemanegers op
[13:01] <bieb> open
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> !fixapt
[13:02] <wylde_> bieb: are you using sudo?
[13:02] <bieb> wylde_: yes using sudo
[13:02] <Jonii_> I know there's a whole bunch of them, that's precisely why I'm asking for recommendations. Twinkle had best reviews but it's development had ceased, with no support for unity. Empathy was deemed difficult to use and lacking in features, Ekiga had awful reviews...
[13:03] <wylde_> bieb: alrighty, ^^^^^ see the bot's message above :)
[13:04] <Jonii_> I just want someone to recommend a voip option, with video chat possibility, that works with Unity, 12.04, and has all the secondary functions I can't think of but are absolutely necessary for VoIP client
[13:04] <bieb> wylde_: ran that.. no change
[13:07] <OerHeks> Jonii_, see the url from ubottu
[13:08] <bieb> Dr_Willis: I ran that script for fix apt, no luck.. still same message
[13:08] <chicognu> how do i install the dhcp client from the cd of ubuntu 10.04 in ubuntu 12.04 ?
[13:10] <abckb__> chicognu: dhcp client get installed by default imo
[13:10] <candyban> hi all. When I do a dpkg --get-selections >packages on a 12.04 (amd64) and I try to import them in another 12.04 (amd64) it wants to install all sorts of :i386 packages (which are nowhere in the packages file I generated)
[13:10] <chicognu> abckb__, yes, i know, but im in trouble using the default client
[13:11] <abckb__> what kind of trouble?
[13:11] <candyban> Is dpkg --set-selections < packages ; apt-get dselect-upgrade no longer supported?
[13:11] <wylde_> bieb: check that software center is not open, synaptic is not open,update manager is not open, another instance of apt-get is already running. etc.Besides that the above command should have done it.
[13:11] <S0LIDUS> I was just curious as to what the best file system would be to use on an ubuntu 12.04 server?
[13:11] <backbox> good morning everyone!!!
[13:11] <chicognu> abckb__, in ubuntu 12.04 the interfaces don't get the ip adress
[13:12] <OerHeks> chicognu, wireless?
[13:12] <chicognu> abckb__, the eth0 to be specific don't get the adress using dhcp
[13:12] <Industrial> Where did I go wrong with installing mongodb? I have both mongodb-server and mongodb-clients installed and the mongodb server is running but I don't see it in ps -e|grep mongo https://gist.github.com/1014dc4231f55a392f5f

[13:13] <chicognu> abckb__, no erro, simple don't conect
[13:13] <backbox> I wouldn't consider myself a newbie so i hope not to waste ur time
[13:13] <chicognu> abckb__, sorry if i missspell some words
[13:13] <OerHeks> blackbox just ask and find out
[13:14] <abckb__> chicognu: its ok but no error? then how do you know its a problem with dhcp client?

[13:16] <jennie> thanks
[13:17] <abckb__> chicognu: are you sure your modem/router/gateway is connected to internet?
[13:17] <chicognu> abckb__, yes, i'm usin it in ubuntu 10.04 right now to talk to you :)
[13:17] <chicognu> using*
[13:18] <backbox> ok, so right now i'm running blackbuntu on my desktop running in my internal 40 g hard drive. on my external 1tb hard drive i "had" 3 partitions. the first one called "please" was a complete back up of all my media. and the other two i would use to boot into various os's live of course.  well i was using the live usb creator to make ubuntu studio live usb. and it like did something weird and i rebooted to get out of it and now my whol
[13:18] <backbox> e 1tb has been wiped and partitioned as one big empty fat 32.
[13:18] <candyban> anyone issues with apt-get dselect-upgrade (trying to install i386 packages on amd64?)
[13:18] <abckb__> chicognu: ifconfig
[13:18] <backbox> i've tried testdisk, and magicrescue
[13:18] <chicognu> abckb__, what you want to me to past ?
[13:18] <wylde_> bieb:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/15433/fixing-could-not-get-lock-var-lib-dpkg-lock
[13:19] <abckb__> chicognu: pastebin the output
[13:19] <chicognu> http://dpaste.com/758101/
[13:19] <bieb> wylde_: thanks
[13:20] <chicognu> http://pastebin.com/meEBJx1i abckb__
[13:20] <backbox> but testdisk can't find my partitions unless i select that it wasn't partitioned, then when it finds my lost partitions it can't write them back because i didn't select a partition type. when i select intel it won't find my ext4 lost partitions
[13:20] <nyuszika7h> How can I fix this?
[13:20] <nyuszika7h> E: Package 'default-jre' has no installation candidate
[13:20] <Industrial> Where did I go wrong with installing mongodb? I have both mongodb-server and mongodb-clients installed and the mongodb server is running but I don't see it in ps -e|grep mongo https://gist.github.com/1014dc4231f55a392f5f
[13:21] <backbox> anyways needless to say i'm now running backbox live to see what i can do but after booting into ubuntu rescue remix i got the same lameness when i ran testdisk
[13:21] <abckb__> chicognu: i see that you got ip address
[13:21] <chicognu> abckb__, yes, im using ubuntu 10.04 right now
[13:22] <chicognu> abckb__, i don't get ip adress, dns, netmask in 12.04

[13:25] <esing1> hi
[13:25] <chicognu> abckb__, do you know how to install dhcpclient from ubuntu 10.04 live cd in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[13:25] <hackqueer> Hello all . The MSN messenger doesn't seem to load when I log into hotmail from ubuntu. Any ideas why ?
[13:25] <esing1> how do I make an executable file in ubuntu to run this command: nautilus smb://.....
[13:25] <TADS> same problem as this person here but he has not had a reply yet
[13:25] <TADS> http://askubuntu.com/questions/145437/the-installer-encountered-an-unrecoverable-error-and-will-now-reboot
[13:25] <sacarlson> chicognu: doesn't it come preinstalled with dhclient?
[13:26] <chicognu> sacarlson, yes, it come, but im not geting ip adress, netmask, dns in ubuntu 12.04, but i get it in ubuntu 10.04 ... so i belive it is a problem with the dhcp client in ubuntu 11.04
[13:27] <esing1> I put that command into a document and saved it as .sh , but it doesnt run
[13:27] <esing1> also trying it to start from terminal  "sh filename" doesnt work ! ubuntu doesnt have SH ?
[13:27] <zhouchuan> \join #ubuntu -cn
[13:27] <esing1> i want to make something like a link to my network adresse
[13:27] <sacarlson> chicognu: did you try sudo dhclient eth0; ?
[13:28] <MonkeyDust> TADS  maybe you can add on that page, that you are having the same issue
[13:28] <sacarlson> chicognu: or is it wireless?
[13:28] <chicognu> sacarlson, yes, it took some time, and i kill it... but i will try it again, and wait for a timeout or some erro message
[13:29] <chicognu> sacarlson, wired
[13:29] <TADS> just found another thread now and just reading this see if it helps... i looked all last night and couldnt find anything but now i asked in here im finding stuff lol
[13:29] <esing1> ok i made it work now by using properties of the fil
[13:29] <chicognu> 10/100 i guess sacarlson
[13:29] <esing1> but yet I wonder why sh filename doesnt work in ubuntu terminal
[13:29] <esing1> oh now it works
[13:29] <abckb__> chicognu: to manually assign ip address to an interface do: "sudo ifconfig eth0 <ip-address> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:29] <rikram> have you tried using dot+slash (./)?
[13:30] <chicognu> abckb__, i cant do it by hand
[13:30] <abckb__> chicognu: why not?
[13:31] <forda> hello
[13:31] <chicognu> abckb__, my modem works as bridges and give the ip to my network interface
[13:32] <chicognu> abckb__, if you check my ifconfig you will see that: inet end.: <IP_ADDRESS>  that is my ip in the internet and in the network card ... don't know if im clear enough... i can't express my self in english very well
[13:32] <craigbass1976> what is it about Ubuntu now that make it so "Recently Used" is always the first choice when I'm in a GUI file browser (like saving or opening a file) ? Is there a way to shut this off?
[13:33] <forda> I'd need help with an upstart problem... I'm trying to start a process with upstart (unicorn server), which works fine: upstart grabs the correct PID of the unicorn master process but once I send the unicorn process USR2 signal to reexecute the running binary, upstart won't recognize the new master process and won't update the PID
[13:33] <forda> is something like this even manageable with upstart?
[13:33] <esing1> can I change the symbol icon of a .sh file ?
[13:33] <forda> I am googling and trying different configurations for almost two days now with no success
[13:35] <abckb__> chicognu: someone more informed will be able to help you
[13:35] <MonkeyDust> forda  and has it worked before or on a different OS or distro?
[13:35] <chicognu> abckb__, thank you anyway :)
[13:36] <forda> MonkeyDust, this is the first time I am trying this setup
[13:36] <meet> how long does the upgrade  from  11.10 to 12.04 take? how large is the download size?
[13:36] <sacarlson> chicognu: does your modem have an admin address?
[13:36] <MonkeyDust> forda  so are you sure it's even possible?
[13:36] <chicognu> sacarlson, no ...
[13:36] <backbox> ok fine since none of you can help me with my harddrive data recovery issue do any of u know about armitage??
[13:37] <backbox> when it comes to metasploit framework i'm a newbie
[13:37] <forda> MonkeyDust, well, not at all :). But maybe someone here knows it...
[13:37] <OerHeks> meet it can take up to 2-3 hours, depending on your connection, how big? depending on the packages installed
[13:37] <sacarlson> chicognu: what is it a modem card?
[13:37] <DJones> meet: I think my last upgrade took about an hour, download size is probably about 700mb, more if you have additional apps installed
[13:37] <Krabbe> My server doesnt seem to be the most stable
[13:37] <ikonia> ls
[13:37] <ikonia> oops
[13:37] <sacarlson> chicognu: the modem has no method of control?
[13:38] <chicognu> sacarlson, it is a cable modem, model:  sbv5121l
[13:38] <chicognu> sacarlson, i don't so about the "method of control"
[13:39] <hackqueer> can anyone tell why can't I access MSN messenger when i sign into hotmail ?
[13:39] <devxdev> any members of unity-2d in here?
[13:39] <esing1> i found it out myself ;d
[13:39] <sacarlson> chicognu: your sbv5121l has a default ip address of <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:40] <sacarlson> chicognu: you can add a secound ip to your interface to ping and talk to it
[13:40] <chicognu> sacarlson, lol, i use it has 2 years and never knew it lol ... it ask for a user and password
[13:41] <sacarlson> oh so you are able to attempt to login to it?
[13:41] <SoleSoul> Hi. I am using Ubuntu Server 12.04 for MySQL and rsyslog. I set up rsyslog to use MySQL hence I need to change the startup order so MySQL would start before rsyslog or else I get an error message. How is it done, changing the startup order of services? thanks
[13:41] <TADS> Think i have found a way round it :) its copying files now... it was the slideshow
[13:41] <chicognu> sacarlson, yes, but i don't know the password
[13:42] <sacarlson> chicognu: if you can attempt to login then you must have an ip address set on your eth0
[13:42] <sacarlson> chicognu: assuming eth0 is what you use to connect to your sbv5121
[13:43] <chicognu> sacarlson, no, you don't understood ...  In ubuntu 12.04 i don't get any adress
[13:43] <chicognu> sacarlson, but right now i'm using ubuntu 10.04
[13:43] <sacarlson> chicognu: oh oh ok but what is the result from 10.04 when you do sudo dhclient eth0 ;
[13:44] <sacarlson> chicognu: and what address does eth0 become on 10.04?

[13:56] <andy__> can anybody point me to a widget type system monitor? i'm looking for one that is transparent and semi-easy to configure cause i'm noobish. thanks in advance!
[13:56] <sacarlson> chicognu: might also check values used for dns lookup
[13:56] <roasted> Question - I'm running this command in a bash script via cron once daily - find /media/NAS/motion/backdoor_cam -mtime +1 -exec mv {} /media/NAS/motion/archive/backdoor_cam \; - I'm a little confused by it. I wanted it to move all files older than 1 day, but it seems to hold 2 days total - 12, 11, 10 of this month. Is this by design? I expected it to save just 12 and 11...
[13:56] <backbox_> so do u think you could help me boot into iso's from grub?
[13:57] <chicognu> sacarlson, how do i check it ? in /etc/resolve.conf ?
[13:57] <sacarlson> chicognu: yes
[13:57] <sacarlson> chicognu: you could also use googles dns address to test of <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:57] <chicognu> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:57] <chicognu> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> backbox_  unetbootin offers that option, but make sure you have space enough left in /

[14:00] <sacarlson> chicognu: looking at the mask for your address I'm not sure how this could work without this address bb404801.virtua  being resolved

[14:04] <andy__> not sure what a live environment is... sorry... i'm running ubuntu 12.04 with unity
[14:04] <theadmin> SunSoul: Doesn't really matter, but given that GRUB doesn't boot EFI by default (does it?), I guess live is easier
[14:04] <siriusnova> sawp
[14:04] <theadmin> andy__: That was a mistab, don't worry about it
[14:04] <geirha> LmAt: That's up to you. Obviously, they're not affiliated with Ubuntu, but the fact that they have drm-free, native linux games is enough for me
[14:06] <Duality> hi all
[14:06] <Duality> i got a computer that runs ubuntu server, and this laptop i am on right now, would it be possible to stream sound somehow over the network to my ubuntu server computer ?
[14:06] <SunSoul> theadmin, I currently have an installation of Ubuntu 12.04, but it currently does not boot. The installation went fine, but I need to install Grub-EFI. So, if I boot through live environment, whether it be CD or USB, and do the reinstallation, I should be good to go?
[14:06] <masd> hello all, what's best ? ubunto 32 bits or 64 ?
[14:07] <Meridious> what kind of computer ?
[14:07] <trirnoth> Hello all. Googling but not coming up with what I think would be an easy solution. How can I have a command run at startup as a regular (non rot) user ?
[14:07] <theadmin> SunSoul: Just install the grub-efi package on livecd, then run "grub-install" appropriately.
[14:07] <larryone> masd, if you're got a 64 bit machine, run 64 bit OS....
[14:07] <theadmin> masd: 64-bit support is good enough, just use that if your hardware supports it.
[14:08] <theadmin> trirnoth: Add "@reboot your_command" to your user's crontab.
[14:08] <SunSoul> theadmin, alright, but do you perform this installation string before installating Ubuntu, or after installing Ubuntu, before restarting your system?
[14:08] <zykotick9> masd: how much RAM do you have?  if it's less then 4GB, i'd use 32.
[14:08] <brooke_> mh.......
[14:08] <theadmin> SunSoul: After installing, I guess, because Ubiquity puts grub without caring about EFI
[14:09] <trirnoth> theadmin: cool. thnx. reading up on this now.
[14:09] <brooke_> anybody know a windows live messenger for ubuntu where it lets u video chat
[14:09] <masd> Okey thanks all, but why on the ubunto website the 32 bits version is ( recommended )
[14:09] <SunSoul> theadmin, okay. Will give it a try.
[14:09] <Guest83298> howto reinstall wifi
[14:09] <Meridious> because it will work on both 32 and 64 bit hardware
[14:09] <theadmin> Guest83298: That question makes no sense. Also you were already told twice that we don't support Backtrack.
[14:10] <Meridious> it will not use 64 bit hardware to its full potential however
[14:10] <Meridious> but it will run stably
[14:10] <masd> zykotick9 i have 8GB
[14:10] <brooke_> anybody know a windows live messenger for ubuntu where it lets u vieo chat
[14:10] <zykotick9> masd: use 64bit then!
[14:10] <theadmin> brooke_: I think amsn has support for that.
[14:10] <takeitrun> if u have 8gb use 64bit
[14:10] <Meridious> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?distro=desktop&release=lts&bits=64
[14:10] <Meridious> there is the download link for ya
[14:10] <brooke_> mh........
[14:10] <Jonii_> 64bit is good enough nowdays? :o
[14:11] <joedoe47> so so
[14:11] <Jonii_> I have had 64bit computers for a long time now, but I was always told to use 32bit version regardless, so I've did
[14:11] <masd> Thanks all, have a nice day! =D
[14:11] <brooke_> hhow do i open it
[14:11] <Meridious> You too
[14:11] <Jonii_> i've done that*
[14:11] <brooke_> i have it installed
[14:12] <theadmin> brooke_: It should be in the applications "menu" then, hit the Super key and type amsn
[14:13] <brooke_> its not there
[14:13] <brooke_> it says i haVE THE DATA FILE ON UBUNTU CENTER
[14:13] <brooke_> i removing it

[14:14] <aliendev> hey hey
[14:14] <brooke_> pidgin mh...
[14:14] <Jonii_> by the way, should I worry about constant reports about "system has encountered an internal error" and "system program crashed"?
[14:14] <nannes> Hi. I need to install zRam on Ubuntu Lucid, but I still have the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel, so they are not compatibles. How can I update the kernel to 3.2, and then enable zram?
[14:15] <aliendev> does anyone wanna help get mac's bootcamp to officially support the installation of Ubuntu? I created a petition on facebook
[14:15] <Jonii_> 12.04 ubuntu

[14:15] <brooke_> an receive files
[14:15] <sacarlson> chicognu: ok now you have all the info you need for 12.04
[14:16] <nannes> brooke_: You can receive files, but depends on which protocol you use.
[14:16] <sacarlson> chicognu: maybe I shouldn't assume you have a static ip address?
[14:16] <MonkeyDust> brooke_  it's easily installed, you may want to try and report in the channel
[14:16] <brooke_> can i vieo chat
[14:16] <brooke_> video
[14:16] <chicognu> sacarlson, yes, i don't have a static ip adress
[14:17] <nannes> brooke_: yes, if you manage to configure your webcam.
[14:17] <brooke_> ok
[14:17] <brooke_> good
[14:17] <nannes> brooke_: the plugin you'll need is "Fonomo Video Chat" for pidgin
[14:17] <profiler1982> wubi install YES or NO
[14:17] <Sidewinder1> NO!
[14:17] <nannes> profiler1982: Please NOPE
[14:18] <sacarlson> chicognu: well good enuf to try anyway you have 87 minits
[14:18] <profiler1982> WHAY
[14:18] <brooke_> does logitech webcam work
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> logitech makes a lot of differnt webcams
[14:18] <nannes> brooke_: lol, it depends. There are many models of logitech cams :D
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> some work.
[14:19] <sacarlson> chicognu: personly I like 10.04 better, not to turn you off too much from upgrading but
[14:19] <brooke_> i have it plug in nothing pops up
[14:19] <MonkeyDust> brooke_  try it out, so you are the expert :)
[14:19] <chicognu> sacarlson, and how i configure the 12.04
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> brooke_:  what do you expet to pop up? run an app that uses the cam
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> !info cheese | brooke_
[14:19] <profiler1982> micro sd or usb
[14:19] <nannes> aliendev: what is "mac's bootcamp"
[14:19] <sacarlson> chicognu: is it a desktop or server install?
[14:20] <chicognu> sacarlson, desktop
[14:20] <brooke_> whats the app name
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> brooke_:  'cheese'
[14:20] <brooke_> k
[14:20] <sacarlson> chicognu: then you can open the gui network-manager and manualy setup the ip and route and dns
[14:21] <sacarlson> chicognu: I would also like to the the output of dhclient eth0; on 12.04
[14:21] <Guest95072> ciau belli
[14:21] <brooke_> its done installing
[14:21] <brooke_> it works
[14:21] <brooke_> :)
[14:21] <sacarlson> chicognu: wow I stuter when I type
[14:22] <chicognu> sacarlson, i configure thouse things with what information ? the ip is my atual ip adress ? and the route ? the dns i can use google dns ?
[14:22] <Somelauw> Which package contains latex?
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> !find latex
[14:22] <sacarlson> chicognu: you can add google dns as another alternate if you wish
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> Somelauw:  try an apt-cache search latex
[14:23] <SunSoul> When I reinstall grub, to replace with Grub-EFI, do I install grub in the /dev/sda, or /dev/sda1 partition? Just want to make sure. Or will the installer automate it for me?
[14:23] <chicognu> sacarlson, and the route ?
[14:23] <mun> hi
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> SunSoul:  grub normally goes ont eh MBR of the HD.. ie: sda
[14:23] <sacarlson> chicognu:  the gateway address is <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:23] <brooke_> the pidgin wont open
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> SunSoul:  unless you are somehow chainloading grub
[14:24] <sacarlson> chicognu: also note the masks for your ip
[14:24] <brooke_> it opened before
[14:24] <brooke_> now it won't
[14:24] <brooke_> nvm
[14:24] <chicognu> sacarlson, what is it ?
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> brooke_:  we can handle more then 3 words per line also...
[14:24] <sacarlson> chicognu: your ip mask is <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:24] <SunSoul> Thanks Dr_Willis
[14:24] <mun> does anyone else find that ubuntu has too many system updates? after each update, something just has to break. from 11.04 to 11.10, my laptop's volume up/down notification doesn't work properly...
[14:24] <brooke_> mh..
[14:25] <Somelauw> Dr_Willis: that's a lot, but I think I'll install texlive-latex-recommended
[14:25] <brooke_> anyone knoww how to install oovoo on ubuntu
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> mun:  11.04 to 11.10 is a major update. not just a 'system update'
[14:25] <chicognu> sacarlson, and the ip ? i leave it to be set by dhcp ? because my ip is not fix, when i reboot i will lost my atual ip
[14:25] <mun> Dr_Willis, is 11.10 to 12.04 also a major one?
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> mun:  even more biggererer ;)
[14:26] <mun> well, then i guess i should be saying there're too many major updates.
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> 12.04 did a lot of huge updates/changes/improvements
[14:26] <sacarlson> chicognu: before we try manual we will try dhcp but you ip now is <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> mun:  every 6 months.. notice the version #'s are dates?
[14:26] <mun> i really don't want to jump ship and move to OSX.
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> mun:  stick to the LTS if you want
[14:26] <SunSoul> Dr_Willis, I have my partition scheme setup with home sswap, and root. My root partition is only 5 GB, is this good enough?
[14:26] <brooke_> pidgin doesnt let u video chat.......
[14:26] <mun> but these major updates really piss me off.
[14:26] <sacarlson> chicognu: that ip is good for at least 87 minits as that's your lease
[14:26] <jrib> mun: with LTS you can upgrade every 2 (or even 4) years
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> SunSoul:  you mean / or /root ?
[14:26] <julien> ya des francais
[14:27] <SunSoul> Dr_Willis
[14:27] <SunSoul> Correct
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> mun:  no one is forceing you to update..
[14:27] <SDX0> mun: There are other distros that don't update as often as Ubuntu.
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> !lts | mun
[14:27] <chicognu> sacarlson, ok, i took note from everything, any new advice before i reboot ?
[14:27] <Mo0O> hi,
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> we get people complaining ubuntu dosent update FAST enough.. ;)
[14:27] <SDX0> Hello.
[14:28] <SunSoul> Dr_Willis, your correct. I mean the /root partition. It is set to 5 GB, should it be any bigger?
[14:28] <Exploiter> How can i use 'cut' command to get 'http://www.google.com' from line as such 'google website http://www.google.com'
[14:28] <sacarlson> chicognu:  if all else fail try set to the private address range of the cable box to see you can ping it to verify it's not a driver problem
[14:28] <Mo0O> does someone know wich driver to use with : 04f2:b272 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Lenovo EasyCamera
[14:28] <Mo0O> ?
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> SunSoul:  '/' is the root of the filesstem..  '/root' is the root users home.. 2 very differnt things..
[14:28] <Mo0O> it a webcam ...
[14:28] <SDX0> Debian Stable which only updates when Haley's comet is visible.
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> SunSoul:   i would make / at leat 10gb.
[14:29] <Mo0O> it's*
[14:29] <thiebaude> !cheese
[14:29] <luis_> hOLA SOY NUEVO
[14:29] <kanhiya> Hello everyone
[14:29] <erbiondo76> ciao
[14:29] <erbiondo76> !list
[14:29] <mneptok> luis_: Ingles solamente aqui, pf.
[14:29] <Mo0O> thiebaude: cheese is not a driver ... :)
[14:29] <kanhiya> My system freezes usually
[14:29] <luis_> HELLO
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> Mo0O:  for most all webcam.. you normally plug them in and they eitehr work.. or are totally unsupported.. ;()  test with cheese
[14:29] <kanhiya> disk usage is so high that,it does not blink
[14:30] <sacarlson> chicognu: that means you would also want to try set your ip manualy to <IP_ADDRESS>  and see if you can ping <IP_ADDRESS>  and try connect to it with your browser to see you get the login screen
[14:30] <Exploiter> How can i use 'cut' command to get 'http://www.google.com' from line as such 'google website http://www.google.com'
[14:30] <kanhiya> I don't know what is the cause
[14:30] <kanhiya> it is being caused by update
[14:30] <Jonii_> Now X.org crashed
[14:30] <SDX0> Exploiter: Right-clicking and clicking "Cut" doesn't work?
[14:30] <chicognu> sacarlson, ok, i will reboot now, thank you :)
[14:30] <Jonii_> The weird thing is, I can't actually experience any instability
[14:31] <kanhiya> how to know what is the cause, normally nautilus i think
[14:31] <Mo0O> Dr_Willis: I'm not on ubuntu, but I know it works on ubuntu, and I want to know which driver ubuntu use ;-)
[14:31] <Exploiter> SDXO 5 MB text file.
[14:31] <Exploiter> How can i use 'cut' command to get 'http://www.google.com' from line as such 'google website http://www.google.com' (all words after http word)
[14:31] <rapha> Hi!
[14:31] <Jonii_> The only reason I know that X.org crashed is the window popping up and explaining that it's what happened
[14:31] <Mo0O> Dr_Willis: with something like lsmod :)
[14:31] <rapha> How do I connect to a Window 7 network share whose user doesn't have a password with Nautilus?
[14:32] <SunSoul> Dr_Willis Ah, ok. So / 10gb, home can be the rest, and swap can be 6GB, so 6144 for swap.
[14:32] <Jonii_> There's no sign of redrawing anything, no slowing down, no graphics tearing, no part of system becoming unstable, no visible bugs, no features lacking, no options disappearing, no programs I can see crashing
[14:32] <reisio> Exploiter: I'd probably use egrep or awk myself
[14:32] <llutz> Exploiter: always 3rd field separated by whitespaces? cut -d' ' -f3
[14:33] <reisio> actually I'd use perl
[14:33] <Jonii_> I'm kinda curious to know how that can be the case. I mean, X.org crashed. It's supposed to handle... Well, everything
[14:33]  * reisio throws perl at everything :p
[14:33] <reisio> Jonii_: X has no popup for crashes
[14:33] <reisio> Jonii_: you're talking about some DE crashing :p
[14:34] <sidvee> My insti has proxy, am try to install a pkg and he is getting stuck at "Connecting to archive.canonical.com|<IP_ADDRESS>|:80"
[14:34] <Exploiter> LLutz can you give an example?
[14:34] <Jonii_> reisio, still, that's precisely what happened. Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error. When I press "see details", it explains to me that X.org has crashed
[14:35] <Exploiter> I wan to get whole like after http
[14:35] <sidvee> How to make the apt-get connect to where I want. sources.list?
[14:35] <Jonii_> Then lots of technobabble about specifics of that crash
[14:35] <llutz> Exploiter: cut -d" " -f3 file              will always cut and show the 3rd column from "file"
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> sidvee  connect where you want?
[14:36] <Exploiter> LLutz as I said, I want to get all the character after the http word.
[14:36] <Jonii_> What I don't get is, how come all the problems this crash causes to me is this windows popping up
[14:36] <sidvee> MonkeyDust: Connect to my insti REPOS.
[14:36] <reisio> Jonii_: nope, probably compiz crashed
[14:36] <dryicebomb> Exploiter cut -d: -f2
[14:36] <sidvee> Apt-get getting stuck at "Connecting to archive.canonical.com|<IP_ADDRESS>|:80"
[14:36] <Jonii_> reisio: you'd probably see some graphics being redrawn if compiz crashed?
[14:36] <llutz> Exploiter: and i asked you: you want to cut always 3rd field separated by whitespaces?
[14:37] <MonkeyDust> sidvee  ubuntu version?
[14:37] <zykotick9> sidvee: do you have your proxy set in /etc/apt/apt.conf?
[14:37] <llutz> Exploiter: or is it "http://to-the-end-of-line" or what exactly?
[14:37] <Jonii_> reisio: like I said, this crash has absolutely no effect that's visible to me, other than the "ubuntu has experienced an internal error" window popping up.
[14:38] <sacarlson> sidvee: I think it's like export http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport
[14:38] <MonkeyDust> Jonii_  then why bother?
[14:38] <Jonii_> Few days earlier I was listening to music, and I got similar report, the only difference was that it was some low-level sound device controller that had crashed. My music played on uninterrupted
[14:38] <brooke_> i tried to sudo install Amsn sudo apt-get install Amsn and it sai unable to locate package
[14:38] <sidvee> zykotick9: No. That file is empty. Have set it at bashrc
[14:39] <zykotick9> sidvee: in /etc/apt/apt.conf the format is: Acquire::http::Proxy "http:address_here/";
[14:39] <Jonii_> MonkeyDust: well, system is not supposed to do this, right?
[14:39] <DJones> !info aMsn
[14:39] <MonkeyDust> brooke_  amsn is no longer in the repos
[14:39] <mneptok> Jonii_: that's called "failing elegantly" and is something to which programmer's aspire.
[14:39] <brooke_> nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
[14:39] <sacarlson> sidvee: I think you would want to start as root to keep the export setting like with sudo -s
[14:39] <Exploiter> llutz using grep http:// | cut -d:  -f2 webs.txt  I am getting '//google.com'
[14:39] <Exploiter> LLutz: yes till the end of line after http word(including http word)
[14:40] <Jonii_> mneptok: well, yeah, if that's the case, it's extremely cool, but I'm still worried a bit about these constant crashes all around my system
[14:40] <sidvee> sacarlson: Already done. Have saved it at bashrc
[14:40] <sidvee> zykotick9: lemme try.
[14:40] <sacarlson> sidvee: and fails to work?
[14:40] <Jonii_> Again, these happens 2-4 times/boot
[14:40] <mneptok> Jonii_: try a live CD? and a Live session of something like Xubuntu or Kubuntu? see wha'ppens?
[14:40] <sidvee> sacarlson: Yes. It is try to access "archive.canonical.com"
[14:41] <zykotick9> sidvee: v2 in /etc/apt/apt.conf the format is -- Acquire::http::Proxy "http://address_here:PORT/";
[14:41] <sidvee> sacarlson: trying*
[14:41] <sacarlson> sidvee: maybe you set the export in your user and not for root
[14:41] <Jonii_> mneptok: I could try that, though I'd have no idea how to use the data gathered that way to decide what to do next
[14:41] <sidvee> zykotick9: Wait. Trying
[14:42] <sidvee> sacarlson: What to do then?
[14:42] <jennie> hello, I need help with this command please tell me what to do to run this command ? find -size [[+|-]]<size>
[14:42] <mneptok> Jonii_: the critical fata is "does this happen on Xubuntu where there is no Unity, there is no 3D compositing, and things are generally less complex?"
[14:42] <Jonii_> There is a possibility that my memory controller is bust. I suspended my system before applying a required patch that makes the system not-bust-memory-controller-when-going-suspend
[14:42] <sacarlson> sidvee: zykotick9's method sounds better
[14:42] <sidvee> sacarlson: Following that wait
[14:42] <sidvee> zykotick9: Do i need to do the same for FTP as well?
[14:42] <sidvee> zykotick9: http , https, ftp?
[14:43] <zykotick9> sidvee: i just use http?  so i'm not sure.
[14:43] <Exploiter> Thanks LLutz and dryicecomb works done with find and replace :)
[14:43] <Jonii_> mneptok: that sounds sensible. Though I'm unsure if Xubuntu has identical way of telling user that something just crashed?
[14:43] <Jonii_> All I have to go on with is that "Ubuntu has encountered an internal error" window that pops up, that behavior needs to be in place in Xubuntu also
[14:44] <mneptok> Jonii_: apport exists in Xubuntu, also.
[14:45] <angs> ifconfig -a does not show the gateway IP. what command do I need to use for it?
[14:45] <sacarlson> angs: route -n
[14:45] <angs> thank you sacarlson
[14:48] <SDX0> If I'm updating from Xubuntu 11.10 to 12.4, should I do a complete reinstall?
[14:50] <sacarlson> jennie: you want to find a list of files that are a byte size biger then what ?
[14:52] <JerusalemT> Shalom y'all. Both my network card and my sound card seem to have stopped working. What to do?
[14:52] <jennie> sacarlson please take any example , I just want to learn about it
[14:52] <Meridious>
[14:53] <sacarlson> jennie: try experiment find -size 10k
[14:53] <angs> how to select all text in nano editor?
[14:53] <jennie> sacarlson what about [+|-] ?
[14:54] <JerusalemT> How can I re configure my network card so that it will recognize the router?
[14:54] <sacarlson> jennie: I think + is graterthan - is lessthan  try and find out
[14:54] <llutz> jennie: - = smaller than, + = bigger than
[14:55] <ikonia> jennie: man find will explain it also
[14:55] <sacarlson> jennie: so you can try find -size 10K+  and find -size 10k-  and see the diff
[14:55] <Meridious> angs: nano is too lightweight to do a select all
[14:55] <JerusalemT> Does anyone have any suggestions about reconfiguring my network card?
[14:56] <JerusalemT> Just point me in the right direction
[14:56] <brooke_> how do i update skype using sudo commands
[14:56] <jennie> sacarlson what [+|-] means I was trying find -size [+|-] 100
[14:56] <ikonia> jennie: man find will explain the options
[14:56] <ikonia> brooke_: what you've said makes no sense
[14:56] <SDX0> JerusalemT, you might want to look into ifconfig and iwconfig.
[14:56] <angs> Meridious: thank you
[14:57] <sacarlson> jennie: and I had it reversed it's find -size -10k
[14:57] <llutz> jennie: - = smaller than, + = bigger than         find / -size +10M      to find files >10Mbyte      find / -size -10M   for files < 10MByte
[14:57] <SDX0> JerusalemT, but that's after you're sure the drivers for your network card are working properly.
[14:57] <JerusalemT> Ifconfig shows me that eth1 is there and it appears to be properly configured. However I cannot ping my router.
[14:57] <Meridious> angs: if you plan to spend some time in a command line, may i suggest learning to use Vi
[14:58] <JerusalemT> How can I remove amd reconfigure eth1?
[14:58] <ezbbunk>  /win 21
[14:58] <krababbel> JerusalemT: eth0 works?
[14:58] <Meridious> angs: it is pretty complex to pick up, but there are a few good cheat sheets.
[14:59] <Meridious> angs: http://www.eec.com/business/vi.html
[14:59] <JerusalemT> Krabble, nope.
[14:59] <krababbel> JerusalemT: can you ping eth1's address itself?
[15:00] <Chuck_Norris> aloha all :D
[15:00] <Chuck_Norris> *sounds of crickets*
[15:00] <Meridious> chirp chirp to you too
[15:00] <nannes> brooke_: why aMsn? Use pidgin!
[15:00] <JerusalemT> I just looked at /etc/network/interfaces and futzed wirh it
[15:00] <JerusalemT> Let me see what happens now
[15:00] <brooke_> pidgin doesn't let u video chat
[15:00] <nannes> brooke_: yes, it does with the right plugin -.-
[15:01] <nannes> I said you before!
[15:01] <rapha> How do I connect to a Window 7 network share whose user doesn't have a password with Nautilus?
[15:01] <brooke_> then tell m

[15:01] <Jak2000> hi all, i am downloaded the lastest cdrom of ubuntu server, i start the installation, when the step is on: 'Detect Hardware' not continue (i only see a screen of color purple, and not continue, i a waitng around 20 minutes and  not continue, anyone know why? or how to force to continue? thanks
[15:02] <krababbel> JerusalemT: if you change that file you need to restart networking, don't you use network manager?
[15:02] <krababbel> hi chuck
[15:02] <Chuck_Norris> aloha krababbel
[15:02] <dryicebomb> rapha open a nautilus window, then hit CTRL+l to get the abbility to type your locations, then type smb://WINDOWSSHARE
[15:04] <JerusalemT> Krababbel, I've tried making the changes via network connections but it doesn't work.
[15:05] <krababbel> JerusalemT: did you also disconnent and reconnect? Do you mean network manager?
[15:05] <krababbel> i guess you do
[15:05] <rapha> dryicebomb: did that and it just tells me "could not be found", but so quickly that I don't really think it actually tried...
[15:05] <panigrc> empathy doen't save the favourite irc channels
[15:06] <JerusalemT> System preferences network connection via the gui brimgs up a dialog box in titled network connections.
[15:06] <dryicebomb> rapha, did you connect to it by name, or IP? also, can other computers on the network connect to that share?
[15:06] <sidvee> "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) "
[15:07] <NetFluidBot> Hi ! This is the NetFluid.IRC bot running on Raspberry Pi for the first test !
[15:07] <rapha> dryicebomb: i don't have any other computer to try with, unfortunately. I tried by name, and the name is pingable. trying by IP yields the same result though.
[15:08] <sidvee> zykotick9: "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) " :(
[15:08] <B_Pro> Does anyone have instructions on making a bootable USB flash drive for OSX? The instructions given here do not work: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[15:08] <krababbel> JerusalemT: anyway you can do changes directly in terminal using 'sudo ip' commands. 'ip add <IP_ADDRESS>/24 dev eth1' adds an address. ip delete... removes. this works immediately
[15:08] <dryicebomb> rapha can you check the firewall settings on the computer that you are trying to get to? make sure that windows file and print sharing are allowed.
[15:08] <NetFluidBot> Hi ! This is the NetFluid.IRC bot running on Raspberry Pi for the first test !
[15:08] <sidvee> "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) "
[15:09] <krababbel> JerusalemT: also 'ip link' and 'ip addr' show the current config.
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> !mac | B_Pro maybe here
[15:09] <gh0stn0te> hi
[15:11] <JerusalemT> Thanks K
[15:11] <krababbel> JerusalemT: sorry, i meant 'ip addr add ...'
[15:11] <mneptok> JerusalemT: are you using static IP configurations? and did this problem start after an update to 12.04?
[15:12] <strata> ltsp fat clients keep getting screen resolution of the server? i.e. a 1024x600 netbook keeps thinking it has a 1920x1080 resolution?
[15:13] <rapha> dryicebomb: the Windows 7 computer's firewall seems to be configured to allow file and printer sharing, and file and printer sharing is turned on.
[15:13] <JerusalemT> Nope and nope. I am running version 10.04
[15:14] <mneptok> JerusalemT: is this wired or wireless?
[15:14] <dryicebomb> rapha can you open up the network share on the local computer by opening up a window and typing in //WINDOWSSHARE ?
[15:15] <JerusalemT> So, ipmaddr spits out a line about eth1 which includes state UNKNOWN
[15:15] <B_Pro> Does anyone sell ubuntu preinstalled on a USB stick? I need to install it on a notebook that has no optical drive.
[15:15] <xangua> !usb | B_Pro
[15:15] <theadmin> B_Pro: You can make your own USB
[15:15] <JerusalemT> WIRED
[15:16] <JerusalemT> Sorry for shouting
[15:16] <B_Pro> I've tried to make my own USB stick for days, none of them work.
[15:16] <mneptok> JerusalemT: can you pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interfaces please?
[15:16] <krababbel> JerusalemT: i got unknown state on loopback interface, but eth0 for me is stat UP
[15:16] <xangua> !doesntwork | B_Pro
[15:16] <rapha> dryicebomb: windows exporer seems to think that's a web address and opens firefox instead
[15:16] <JerusalemT> Nope. My ubuntu box is offline. I am using a tablet
[15:17] <rapha> dryicebomb: but i got it working through "tools > map network drive"
[15:17] <mneptok> B_Pro: you realize that OSX will boot off the first physical hard disk if possible, ignoring anything else. you *must* press a key (or key combo) to boot from USB or optical media.
[15:18] <B_Pro> Following the instructions here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx  my USB drive gets the error "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" when plugging it into my Mac. I want to make a bootable USB drive, but can't seem to get it to work.
[15:18] <mneptok> JerusalemT: have you tried booting to an earlier kernel?
[15:18] <JerusalemT> Ooooh mneptok, that's an idea
[15:18] <mneptok> B_Pro: the USB installer is a bootable device. it is not something you try to mount and run from inside OSX.
[15:19] <krababbel> JerusalemT: I'm not sure about what state actually means there. I have another box here, where it shows eth0 state unknown, but it is working fine.
[15:19] <JerusalemT> Rebooting
[15:19] <B_Pro> I am trying to make a bootable drive, but there is an error somewhere and the USB stick is not bootable. The Mac will not read it when booting from it (pressing "U" when booting)
[15:19] <rodhash> Hello guys... I need little help...
[15:19] <rodhash> For some reason my keyring is not keeping my wireless password, every time I log in on Ubuntu, the wireless password is requested to me
[15:19] <rodhash> any idea?
[15:20] <mneptok> B_Pro: the "not readable" error happens at boot time?
[15:20] <B_Pro> Yes
[15:20] <MonkeyDust> rodhash  password or wpa key?
[15:20] <ex0a> i've been having a hard time figuring out how to do this, but i need to either boot a cdrom from grub2 or from a 128mb usb flash drive, and the media i want to boot can't fit on the flash drive.. i've already burned a dvd but i cannot figure out what to put in grub2
[15:21] <K-Lab> have to go bye all
[15:21] <mneptok> B_Pro: be sure to md5sum the .iso you downloaded. or get it via BitTorrent, where the protocol has hashsums for error correction.
[15:21] <B_Pro> Done that. The md5sum is valid
[15:22] <rapha> dryicebomb: I just found some Samba frontend with which I was able to set the Ubuntu machine's workgroup to "WORKGROUP" (which is what the Windows machine has) and now I can see the windows machine under "Network" in Nautilus. If I click on it, I'm asked my username and password, though. Unfortunately my empty password is not accepted.
[15:22] <rodhash> MonkeyDust, wpa key
[15:22] <mneptok> B_Pro: i'm not rich, so i use Thinkpads. :) but there's a pretty large Ubuntu userbase using Macs. if no on knows here, try mailing lists or the forums. there are others out there with more knowledge.
[15:22] <JerusalemT> Well to quote the estemable ( spelling) Jon Lajoie " you say "Guess what world?" you've got me cornered again I'm gonna roll another joint"
[15:22] <B_Pro> thanks ^^
[15:22] <JerusalemT> Booting an older kernal
[15:23] <mneptok> JerusalemT: this channel has a family-friendly policy. twisting j's is on the far side of that policy. just like mixing a martini.
[15:24] <JerusalemT> Noted mneptok
[15:24] <mneptok> JerusalemT: thankee sahib.
[15:25] <JerusalemT> Holy crap! The older kernal works! What the heck does that mean?
[15:26] <JerusalemT> Why would be true and older kernal work?
[15:26] <mneptok> JerusalemT: something in the newer kernel's driver for your chipsets? something about an ABI change that breaks drivers for just your stuff? unsure. but it's bug-worthy on Launchpad.
[15:27] <JerusalemT> Cool. Thanks so much for all the help.
[15:28] <mneptok> JerusalemT: get the very latest Fedora image. find out if it's Linux, or just Ubuntu's kernel build.
[15:28] <mneptok> JerusalemT: 10.04 is all 2.5 kernels. forget that. sorry.
[15:29] <mneptok> errr .... 2.6
[15:29] <JerusalemT> Problem solved. Now let's see if we can get my sound to work again. Where should I look to play with that? Also how do I get the computer to automatically boot the old colonel? Haha, my voice recognition software keeps printing colonel instead of kernal.
[15:29] <Meridious> hah!
[15:29] <MariachiAC> Hi all, I am trying to install grub-efi. I installed ubuntu already, but it will not boot, since I have a efi boot within my bios. So I saw that there was a grub-efi package. How do I go about installing it, so that I can use that over standard grub. I am currently in a live USB environment, with the installation already finished, but still in the live environemnt of hte USB. Help lease.
[15:30] <mneptok> Good afternoon, General Protection-Fault. This is Colonel Panic reporting for duty.
[15:30] <mneptok> MariachiAC: did you let the Ubuntu installer auto-partition the entire disk?
[15:30] <MonkeyDust> what is this grub efi people keep asking asking quetions about?
[15:31] <mneptok> MonkeyDust: (U)EFI capable GRUB.
[15:31]  * mneptok uses it
[15:31] <MariachiAC> Yes, I did a default install mneptok
[15:31] <kanhiya> is there any way to stop loading same list again and again while updating
[15:31] <kanhiya> i am having a slow internet connection
[15:31] <mneptok> MariachiAC: you need a 50MB or so FAT32 partition at the very beginning of the disk, mounted at /boot/efi in Linux.
[15:31] <kanhiya> and every time it loads same file again and again
[15:32] <MonkeyDust> and what's uefi?
[15:32] <kanhiya> is there any way
[15:32] <mneptok> MariachiAC: UEFI systems will not boot without this. if you do not have such a partition, you either have to reinstall, or set the BIOS to disable EFI completely.
[15:32] <kanhiya> to stop loading same files again and again and update only changes
[15:32] <kanhiya> i mean , if i add repo.
[15:32] <kanhiya> but
[15:33] <MonkeyDust> ok, found it "UEFI is the firmware that will eventually replace BIOS in commercial PCs."
[15:33] <kanhiya> it change same file again and again
[15:33] <sidvee> can't open synaptics
[15:33] <sidvee> extra junk at end something error
[15:33] <dryicebomb> rapha, if its windows 7 there is an option to turn off password protected sharing.
[15:33] <kanhiya> hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[15:33] <MariachiAC> Ah ok mneptok . So I need to do a custom install then?
[15:33] <kanhiya> anybody here,
[15:33] <thiebaude> kanhiya: hi
[15:34] <kanhiya> thiebaude: Hi
[15:34] <MonkeyDust> kanhiya  please don't shout
[15:34] <kanhiya> I am having a question, can u help me, thiebaude
[15:34] <_P3S_> hi how can I regenerate the initframe?
[15:34] <thiebaude> kanhiya: most likey if you dont get an answer to your question, there no answer to it right now
[15:35] <mneptok> MariachiAC: set the BIOS to (U)EFI only. do a custom install, creating that partition (FAT32, no kore than 75MB, beginning of disk, mounted at /boot/efi), and report back if the system does not boot when the install is finished.
[15:35] <kanhiya> MonkeyDust: I have to shout
[15:35] <limiton> hi
[15:35] <RiXtEr--Home> is there a non pae kernel on the 12.04 iso?
[15:35] <MonkeyDust> kanhiya  not here please
[15:36] <mneptok> kanhiya: do not shout. there is no reason. you do not *have* to. and i am telling, not asking. thanks.
[15:36] <_P3S_> I've reinstalled the kernels but there aren't any initrd images in boot folder
[15:36] <kanhiya> MonkeyDust: Where, i am here to get help,  no body is taking care of my questions
[15:36] <mneptok> !patience > kanhiya
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> !patience
[15:36] <xangua> kanhiya: and shouting is always the best way to get ignored :/
[15:36] <limiton> how can restore (see the prompt) a command (fsck) executed through a ssh session which was disconected? I reconnected and the proccess is still running.

[15:37] <RiXtEr--Home> xangua, yes, i have an article where the author used netboot, but I'd like to just use what I have.
[15:38] <xangua> RiXtEr--Home: i read a guide but didn't mentioned netboot, it mentions the minimal cd
[15:38] <Exploiter> If i have 10 websites like google.com, how can I enter them in 'host' command can anyone tell me any syntax of method?

[15:41] <ikonia> host is a resolver
[15:41] <ikonia> Exploiter: host is doing a dns lookup
[15:41] <RiXtEr--Home> Exploiter, the host command is not the same as /etc/hosts (if that is what you are talking about)
[15:42] <Exploiter> nooo
[15:42] <jrib> Exploiter: use a for loop
[15:42] <Exploiter> I want IP address from multiple google.com like addresses
[15:42] <Exploiter> jrib you are on right track
[15:42] <Exploiter> how?
[15:42] <jrib> Exploiter: for var in a b c; do echo $var; done   <-- example for loop
[15:42] <ikonia> for 10 names, just type "host domain.com" 10 times
[15:42] <mneptok> panx: is that a fixed-woth (monospace) font?
[15:42] <Exploiter> ikonia host can give you IP too
[15:43] <ikonia> Exploiter: yes, I know it can, I told you it's doing a dns lookup
[15:43] <ikonia> I know how to use host
[15:43] <Exploiter> Ok
[15:43] <Exploiter> panx use mono font
[15:43] <panx> mneptok, Ubuntu Light ,12
[15:43] <mneptok> panx: use a monospace font in terminals. always.
[15:44] <panx> ok
[15:44] <cargo23> Exploiter $for hostname in `cat filename`; do host $hostname; done;
[15:44] <panx> mneptok, wow! its okay :) thanks, why other fonts overlaping?
[15:45] <Exploiter> I should have learn scripting :(
[15:45] <mneptok> panx: because Unix computer terminals in the 1960s were not used for pre-press artsy text. they were used for computing. ;)
[15:45] <cargo23> Exploiter:  If this is something you are going to do a lot of, learn about xargs or parallel
[15:45] <panx> mneptok, ;) kk

[15:46] <mneptok> MariachiAC: if you have a 50MB or so FAT32 partition mounted at /boot/efi the rest of the disk usage and partitioning is up to you. also, be aware, you need to create a GPT partition table. not MS-DOS.
[15:47] <mneptok> MariachiAC: i'm not sure the GUI installer lets you choose table type. if not, use the -alternate image.
