[16:09] <Calinou> Sly: the computer would be $100 cheaper if there was no windows; I was just complaining about manufacturers
[16:09] <Sly> mneptok: perhaps as a dual boot at some point, but I wouldn't use Windows 8 either way.
[16:09] <llutz> Calinou: it wouldn't and now please take this "i hate ms" to #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:09] <mneptok> Sly: pull the hard disk, set it aside for when you go to resell. by a HD and do what you want to it.
[16:10] <Calinou> banned from -offtopic, try again(R)
[16:10] <Sly> mneptok: well, I can always pull the hard drive from my other computer.
[16:10] <bazhang> Calinou, thats enough
[16:10] <mneptok> Sly: probably too late for the "never even been booted" thing.
[16:10] <Sly> It already has Ubuntu 12.10 installed and working perfectl.
[16:10] <Sly> *perfectly
[16:10] <henshaw> mneptok: http://distanz.ch/inotail/ says "As of version 7.5 of coreutils tail --follow uses inotify if available (as inotail does). "
[16:11] <Sly> I haven't looked up to see if this case has enough room for two drives.
[16:11] <mneptok> henshaw: OK, so add the arg to your tail command.
[16:11] <Esokra> Sly: Do you know where to get help with sandboxing application with arkose?
[16:11] <edve> anyone knows a good alternative to landscape ?
[16:12] <sipior> edve: portrait?
[16:12] <Erik_D> lol
[16:12] <xatcon> lol
[16:12] <henshaw> mneptok: I did, unless you're saying that there's a difference between "-f" and "--follow"
[16:12] <Erik_D> edve: What is landscape?
[16:12] <Esokra> ^^
[16:12] <Erik_D> (not the photo orientation :P)
[16:12] <mneptok> henshaw: i don't know. i know the --follow arg is actually documented.
[16:12] <xatcon> scape  full land i think
[16:12] <edve> Thank you Erik
[16:13] <edve> no it's the service offered by cannonical
[16:13] <mneptok> Erik_D: remote monitoring and admin for Ubuntu, a paid Canonical service.
[16:13] <mneptok> edve: Puppet?
[16:13] <Esokra> has nobody ever heared of arkose ?
[16:13] <xatcon> how i use my dell wire less blue tooth headset with my laptop
[16:13] <Erik_D> edve: I have no idea, sorry
[16:14] <Lasivian> hiya
[16:14] <xatcon> any adv
[16:14] <Lasivian> I'm looking for a way to find a file and see both it's location and it's size
[16:14] <Lasivian> from commandline that is. ls-R | grep will give me the sizes, and find gives me the locations, but I need both
[16:14] <henshaw> mneptok: nope, --follow doesn't work for me either
[16:14] <Esokra> how does global menu work? is it for every application different?
[16:14] <llutz> Lasivian: find /path -iname '*partofname*' | xargs ls -lh
[16:15] <mneptok> henshaw: dunno. i use inotail.
[16:15] <__nyarlathotep> anyone have experience setting up a permanent install of ubuntu server in virtualbox?

[16:31] <BluesKaj> is_null, alt+f2?
[16:31] <is_null> BluesKaj: nope, just alt, it pops an autocomplete allowing to do stuff like File -> Open etc ...
[16:32] <newbie01> can anyone point me to the right direction regarding setting up dual screens? (I'm assuming it is a driver issue but I can't find anywhere to check my hardware or drivers)
[16:32] <is_null> also, can someone with ubuntu 12.10 paste his grub.conf please ? I deleted it i'd like to restore it manually ... can't find it on google
[16:32] <BluesKaj> is_null, must be a unity or gnome thing , no such command on KDE
[16:33] <is_null> BluesKaj: that's a really neat hack, i'd like to find sources for that
[16:33] <is_null> these kind of menus are the last thing that make me have to use the mouse ..

[16:38] <VlanX> wols_: i get ERROR: Module ehci_hcd does not exist in /proc/modules
[16:38] <wols_> neure: openbox, ratpoison, awesomewm, etc. those are all more minimalist. and of there there is lxde and xfce from lubuntu and xubuntu
[16:38] <wols_> VlanX: lsmod. check what is loaded
[16:39] <VlanX> wols_: on usb_hid?
[16:40] <wols_> VlanX: no, what is loaded at all
[16:40] <VlanX> wols_: http://pastebin.com/r6ffxq5F
[16:41] <wols_> VlanX: maybe it's not a module but compiled in
[16:41] <prashant_123456> CrazyGangster, yep thanks for the help
[16:41] <VlanX> yes it is
[16:41] <VlanX> apparently
[16:42] <VlanX> wols_: http://pastebin.com/1429kv9z
[16:42] <wols_> VlanX: that doesn't say if it is or not. /boot/config* is

[16:56] <socialbug> why do i have all the videos from youtube blue?!?!?!
[16:57] <bazhang> socialbug, full screen the flash video, disable hardware acceleration
[16:57] <socialbug> ok
[16:57] <socialbug> all try that
[16:59] <ChogyDan> Im having a bug during the boot process.  How do I file a bug?
[16:59] <bazhang> !bugs | ChogyDan
[17:00] <ChogyDan> bazhang: I read that page, and I couldn't figure it out, hence why I am asking here.  The page is focuses on a specific package or process, but it happens during boot, so I don't know the package or process
[17:01] <bazhang> ChogyDan, whats the bug you say you found then
[17:03] <ChogyDan> bazhang: the boot pauses if I have a drive disconnected.  There is a prompt asking to skip mounting the drive, but that prompt disappears if you exit the splash screen and go back.  So, either the boot shouldn't pause, or the prompt should remain shown
[17:03] <bazhang> ChogyDan, and if the drive is connected?
[17:04] <ChogyDan> bazhang: it's fine.  It seems the boot process doesn't like the missing mount points
[17:04] <bazhang> ChogyDan, and the drive is in fstab?
[17:04] <ChogyDan> the drive is just extra storage.  Yes, I think it is in fstab, lemme check though
[17:05] <bazhang> ChogyDan, and how long is this "pause"?
[17:05] <ChogyDan> yea, fstabed.  Permanent
[17:06] <bazhang>  ChogyDan, and how long is this "pause"?
[17:06] <ChogyDan> unless I answer the prompt.  But when I first ran into this, I was hitting esc to see errors, and that wiped the prompt.  So I had no idea what was going on at first
[17:06] <ChogyDan> bazhang: I tested for at least 20 minutes.  Im guessing permanent
[17:07] <bazhang> ChogyDan, the system pauses for 20 minutes during boot?
[17:07] <ChogyDan> bazhang: it never actually booted
[17:08] <bazhang> ChogyDan, what  is the "pause" you mention then
[17:10] <ChogyDan> bazhang: I call it a pause because there is a prompt requesting what to do with the mount points.  This prompt can get hidden, but if you answer it, boot continues.  So it is a prompt that pauses the boot process until answered.  (Now I know how to get past it)
[17:11] <shihan> hmm, anyone running bind as a slave on ubuntu server 12.04? anything special you had to do?

[17:16] <klaxtr> hi everyone, i have a hard time connecting to my wireless internet conection, it was working good till today is there a way to have a error log??
[17:20] <Peanut> Hi folks, just did an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10, but now I end up in a 'grub rescue' that complains about 'file not found' Originally, root filesystem was on a intel software raid (md0). Any hints? I've tried googling, and several people seem to have run into this on the upgrade.
[17:21] <delinquentme> I'm looking inside a Makefile ... and im seeing file paths with double forward slashes ... such as -L$(libdir) -Wl,-R$(libdir) -L/home/ed/local//lib -Wl,-R/home/ed/local//lib
[17:21] <delinquentme> what does this do?
[17:22] <mrfunk> hello
[17:22] <Peanut> delinquentme: I don't think that does anything special, probably just a poorly written autoconf.
[17:22] <trism> delinquentme: probably nothing, when the makefile was created it probably did something like -L$prefix/lib where $prefix was /home/ed/local/ with a slash at the end
[17:22] <mrfunk> how can i join #wine without getting kciked?
[17:23] <bubu\a> hi guys - I want to use logrotate. Whats the difference in putting in an entry in /etc/logrotate.conf or creating it's own file in /etc/logrotate.d/ ? I want to rotate the logs daily/hourly

[17:29] <OpenBoxArch> Moogs: gparted
[17:30] <arabi> ubottu : I am learning mysql that is why i installer lamp
[17:30] <frokk> Moogs: you can't resize a volume you're running an OS off of, so most people use a LiveCD (run the OS off a flash drive or CD)
[17:30] <wols_> yeehi: FIRST error
[17:30] <ChogyDan> yeehi: that might be from a previous error

[17:34] <bubu\a> hi guys - I want to use logrotate. Whats the difference in putting in an entry in /etc/logrotate.conf or creating it's own file in /etc/logrotate.d/ ? I want to rotate the logs daily/hourly
[17:34] <arabi> in windows there is a WAMP window ... where I can see running servers .. and visit the localhost page ... in linux how can i do that
[17:34] <pgdac> jrib: ThinkT510  : yes i opend that file , now what to edit there
[17:34] <rajmahendra> any idea where can i get the driver ?
[17:34] <jrib> pgdac: I didn't tell you to open any file.  I asked you a question.
[17:34] <wols_> arabi: you can visit localhost page just like win windows. there is no such panel in linux
[17:34] <llutz> arabi: start your browser, open "http://localhost"
[17:35] <frokk> bubu\a: I do not know, but that does seem like something you can google.
[17:35] <wols_> rajmahendra: you already have the driver. there exists only one and ubuntu is already using it by default
[17:35] <pgdac> jrib: Please repeat your question

[17:35] <Moogs> how do i do that
[17:35] <jrib> pgdac: and you have no idea why? you are getting that error?  You haven't done anything to python or something weird with your package system?
[17:35] <arabi> It works!
[17:35] <arabi> This is the default web page for this server.
[17:35] <arabi> The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.
[17:35] <arabi> i am getting the above message...
[17:36] <jrib> yeehi: use apt-get
[17:36] <arabi> is it from LAMP?
[17:36] <rajmahendra> wols_, actually when i use 12.4 i can run a graphic based games on my system once i update my system to 12.10 the app is not working.
[17:36] <jrib> arabi: it's from your apache server, sure
[17:36] <wols_> Moogs: are you running from your installed ubuntu?
[17:36] <Moogs> wols_: yes
[17:36] <xangua> Moogs: you were already told to use a live cd...and backups are always good idea :)
[17:36] <llutz> arabi: yes, now you have to read apache- and mysql-dokumentation about configuring an d using it
[17:36] <pgdac> jrib: Actually this system is used by many people , so i have no idea what happens in my absence
[17:36] <arabi> then how can I acces mysqlserver ?
[17:36] <wols_> Moogs: you've been told time and again not to do that. we don't write that to spite you
[17:37] <yeehi> thanks, jrib - let me try that
[17:37] <wols_> arabi: install phpmyadmin

[17:37] <DrCode> how can I stop report combo in ubuntu?
[17:37] <DrCode> it pop up
[17:38] <frokk> Moogs: you can't resize the volume that the OS is running from, use a liveCD to resize that volume
[17:38] <Moogs> frokk: okay see you in a second.
[17:38] <frokk> probably not, I'm about to reboot to solve my own problem
[17:38] <arabi> llutz: i have run that..but i am getting the same message as from apache server
[17:38] <Kartagis> !xen
[17:38] <jrib> pgdac: that's fine.  You can still answer my question based on your experience.
[17:38] <arabi> wols_ where can I install phpmyadmin
[17:38] <llutz> arabi: never
[17:39] <arabi> is there any diffrent local host address for mysqlserver
[17:39] <OpenBoxArch> !xmonad
[17:39] <wols_> arabi: what is your actual problem?
[17:40] <jrib> OpenBoxArch: xmonad is in the repositories, you just install it and select it at the login window as your session
[17:40] <wols_> arabi: and you install phpmyadmin like any other pogram under ubuntu

[17:41] <jrib> soee: you should say what you are doing to get that error.
[17:41] <arabi> wols_: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin   is it enough?

[17:42] <soee> jrib, i just downloaded AptanaStudio3 and trugin to run it

[17:43] <jrib> soee: so how are you trying to run it?
[17:43] <OpenBoxArch> jrib: just seeing why the bot was not bringing up xmonad and yet xen.. thats all
[17:43] <jrib> OpenBoxArch: it's just because no one has created a factoid for it
[17:44] <gsnedders_web> Booting into live CD and then running update-grub doesn't appear to have made any difference, somewhat expectadly.
[17:44] <OpenBoxArch> jrib: figured that after punching in a few more tests. thanks :)

[17:44] <theadmin> OpenBoxArch: There we go. Next, please /msg the bot to check for something like that.
[17:44] <jrib> soee: don't do that.  Instead, make it executable and then do ./AptanaStudio3

[17:45] <arabi> thank you guys .. now I got what I am looking for

[17:45] <OpenBoxArch> theadmin: never seen new you could msg the bot thank you. ;P
[17:46] <soee> jrib, works your way, app runs ok only in terminal i have small error message: Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 9: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated.

[17:46] <gsnedders_web> Peanut: Typo? (Given there was no prompt)
[17:46] <jrib> soee: that's just telling you that in the future your ~/.fonts.conf file will be ignored and you should move it to ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf

[17:47] <Funhouse> Hi there,  how would I go about changing the owner for all folders named .svn within the root folder. like  sudo chown -R ubuntu folder_name
[17:47] <Snicers-Work2> I want to lock ALL users to a specific folder heirarchy for vsftp, is this possible?
[17:47] <gsnedders_web> Peanut: No, no release upgrade here; just latest 12.04 package updates
[17:47] <jrib> Funhouse: use find and -exec
[17:47] <Funhouse> jrib, ah ok great thank you trying now

[17:49] <Guest93071> hola

[17:50] <theadmin> !es | Guest93071
[17:50] <Moogs> how do you install a file downloaded from the net.  it is in tar.bz2 format
[17:50] <OpenBoxArch> Snicers-Work2: most ftp's allow you to only share data from specific foler...
[17:50] <jrib> Moogs: you avoid it.  What are you trying to install?
[17:50] <Moogs> firefox aurora
[17:51] <theadmin> Moogs: There's a ppa for that
[17:51] <Moogs> i set it to permission: file to execute
[17:51] <Snicers-Work2> OpenBoxArch: , currently the ftp is locking local users to their respective home folders, I want one folder for all users.
[17:51] <Moogs> so, what do i need to do?
[17:51] <theadmin> Moogs: Generally, Mozilla's tarballs are binary tarballs. You extract them, navigate to the folder and run the executable (ending in -bin) in them.
[17:51] <coz_> hey guys, up until 12.04, I would use this command to remove "recent docume ts"   python -c "import gtk; gtk.recent_manager_get_default().purge_items()".. it doesnt seem to work on 12.10, any suggestions for changing the command?
[17:52] <emes> I'm on a thinkpad t430s, and when I resume from sleep on 12.10 the sound stops working. didn't have this issue with 12.04. ideas?
[17:52] <mrfunk> wols_: i still havent figure out how to install it
[17:52] <theadmin> Moogs: However, if you want an app that's not in repositories, please first search the web for "<SUBJECT NAME HERE> ppa", so "firefox aurora ppa" in your case
[17:52] <theadmin> Moogs: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/firefox-aurora
[17:53] <unrar> Hy
[17:53] <OpenBoxArch> Moogs: you would have to compile that. Is that a older or newer version of firefox? tuxfiles.com instructions. I would highly not recommend doing this can cause problems in updates and upgrades.
[17:53] <astex> My brightness controls increment screen brightness by 4 instead of 1.  How do I fix this?
[17:54] <Moogs> newer, it's an alpha version of firefox.
[17:54] <Moogs> okay, well i will do that.  thanks.
[17:54] <theadmin> OpenBoxArch: That's not what mozilla's tarballs are. They provide portable binary tarballs with their applications. I think they're even statically linked.
[17:54] <navneeth> OpenBoxArch: I don't think you need to compile anything from the archive from Mozilla
[17:54] <OpenBoxArch> Moogs: Run Arch LInux
[17:55] <astex> OpenBoxArch: offtopic
[17:55] <theadmin> OpenBoxArch: No spam please. Suggesting other distributions in this channel is not welcome, unless they are an officially supported Ubuntu distribution.
[17:55] <hdb2> hey all, debian user here...just installed 12.04 for a friend's mom, and she wants/needs an interface "more like windows". is there something I can install that has good integration that's more of a "typical" desktop experience for a win user?
[17:55] <trism> coz_: strange, seems to still work here
[17:55] <theadmin> hdb2: KDE you mean :P
[17:55] <hdb2> theadmin: :)
[17:55] <astex> hb2: KDE
[17:55] <bazhang> !behelpful | OpenBoxArch
[17:56] <Axsuul> How would I restart monit if it crashes?
[17:56] <navneeth> hdb2: cinnamon! you can install it in Ubuntu,right?
[17:56] <hdb2> theadmin: I was hoping to stay in the gnome family, but I haven't kept up enough to know what's going on with that now...
[17:56] <theadmin> hdb2: Check http://kubuntu.org for prebuilt images of Ubuntu with KDE, I suggest you just use those if the install is fairly new and you can afford to reinstall.
[17:56] <MonkeyDust> navneeth  i have it, with a ppa
[17:56] <hdb2> navneeth: brilliant!!!  didn't think of that!
[17:56] <OpenBoxArch> theadmin: Not spam was recommending running alphas is best in Archlinux not to say Ubuntu is not a great distro.
[17:56] <astex> hdb2: also, gnome2 (MATE)
[17:56] <hdb2> astex: mate, even better!
[17:56] <bazhang> OpenBoxArch, please take the chit chat elsewhere
[17:56] <coz_> trism,  mm   I am also on gnome fallback which generall worked as well,, that may be the issue here
[17:56] <henshaw> mneptok: researching to file the 'tail -f' bug and think it might only happen on the live image (due to the overlayfs). did you test what 'tail -f' does on your system?
[17:56] <hdb2> many great suggestions, thanks everyone for getting me pointed in the right way!
[17:57] <astex> anyone know anything about my brightness problems?
[17:57] <arabi> i have installed phpmyadmin .. where i can open it?
[17:57] <astex>  brightness controls increment screen brightness by 4 instead of 1.  How do I fix this?
[17:58] <akis> hi all. i am running xubuntu 12.04. my daughter have to run a windows application: "microworlds pro". what do you suggest me to do? can i use wine? do i have to install windows on wine or there is the possibility to run this windows application on wine without install windows. i had never used before wine so it is for me 'terra icognita'. Help plz!
[17:59] <astex> there is no need to install wine, akis.  WINE contains many of the libraries of Windows allowing it to tun many windows programs without an actual install.
[17:59] <astex> akis: you should go ahead and try to install and run the program after installing wine
[17:59] <MonkeyDust> !appdb > akis
[18:00] <astex> wait...no need to install windows
[18:00] <armbar> Folks, just upgraded to quantal, got problems installing swi-prolog. Is this the right place to ask for help?
[18:00]  * astex typos on new keyboard
[18:00] <theadmin> armbar: Depends, is that in the repos? :P
[18:00] <OpenBoxArch> akis: how pressed on time are you to get this up and running?
[18:00] <leon1984> Excuse,when i type this command:"sudo apt-get install -f" the bash say "post-installation returned an error code (1),initramfs-tools have an error,E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)",what should i do ?
[18:01] <akis> astex: you mean that there is no need to install windows on wine, isn't it?
[18:01] <theadmin> !fixapt | leon1984
[18:01] <armbar> not much, just that it goes deep down to libgmp10 so it might be affecting some other packages too.
[18:01] <astex> akis: yes
[18:01] <theadmin> Err, wrong factoid, ignore that leon1984
[18:01] <theadmin> leon1984: Try "sudo dpkg-configure -a"
[18:02] <akis> OpenBoxArch: hmm. i don't have enough time. 1-2 days only -:(
[18:02] <armbar> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[18:02] <armbar>  libgmp-dev : Depends: libgmp10 (= 2:5.0.2+dfsg-2ubuntu2) but 2:5.0.5+dfsg-2 is to be installed
[18:02] <armbar> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[18:02] <theadmin> armbar: Hm... Do you have any unofficial repositories enabled? Correct that if so.
[18:03] <akis> astex: do i have just to install wine using ubuntu software center and then download and install the windows application?
[18:03] <astex> akis: that is more than enough time if the program happens to work at least decently on first attempt.  Otherwise, you should probably dual boot.  WINE can be...tempermental.
[18:03] <astex> akis: yes
[18:03] <genii-around> arabi: Usually if on the same machine, http://localhost/phpmyadmin
[18:03] <genii-around> !info libgmp10 precise
[18:04] <leon1984> theadmin,ubottu,theadmin,Thanks! I'm trying : )
[18:04] <astex> akis: you should search for your app at http://appdb.winehq.org/ to see if it will work well
[18:05] <OpenBoxArch> astex: hey playonlinux using wine seems to have changed. Whats the deal?
[18:06] <arabi> genii-around : i am getting error... phpmyadmin not in this server
[18:06] <dr_willis> i think they got their own wines OpenBoxArch
[18:06] <dr_willis> a wine celler.  ;-)
[18:06] <genii-around> arabi: You installed it from the Software Center, or with aptitude or apt-get, or some other way?
[18:07] <arabi> apt-get
[18:07] <arabi> genii-around : sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql phpmyadmin
[18:07] <arabi>   i have run this
[18:07] <akis> astex: i read already after some googling that the application works under ubuntu/wine. not 12.04 but older versions.
[18:08] <robbie> anyone play torchlight 2? I know its off topic but I just need the local_settings.txt file :)
[18:08] <astex> akis: the concern is usually wine.  not ubuntu.  if it works under older versions, then it will most likely work well on the current version
[18:08] <OpenBoxArch> dr_willis: hmmm... Last time been to that website the were a commercial company guess Playonlinux didnt take off...
[18:09] <astex> OpenBoxArch: isn't playonlinux mostly Steam games.  And isn't Steam releasing a linux version in like two weeks?
[18:09] <dr_willis> OpenBoxArch: never really used it or needed it. i recall some comercial wine called crossover  years ago.
[18:10] <theadmin> astex: playonlinux is just a nice way to manage wine apps
[18:10] <dr_willis> astex: its in beta testing now.
[18:10] <genii-around> arabi: Did you restart apache?
[18:10] <armbar> I had before, they are disabled. Now, interesting is that libgmp-dev wants to install libgmp10 2:5.0.2  when I do have libgmp10 2:5.0.5 already.  This is strange.
[18:11] <akis> astex: that makes me happy. have you ever used wine? what do i have to do after i installed it?
[18:11] <akis> OpenBoxArch: why?
[18:12] <alusion_> My print screen is configured to just search for ksnapshot instead of screen shotting >_> how do I change it?
[18:13] <genii-around> armbar: It's the particular version of " libgmp10 2:5.0.5"  that it wants is the issue: eg: 2:5.0.2+dfsg-2ubuntu1  is what's in the repository but: "<armbar>  libgmp-dev : Depends: libgmp10 (= 2:5.0.2+dfsg-2ubuntu2) but 2:5.0.5+dfsg-2 is to be installed"
[18:13] <OpenBoxArch> akis: Use to run playonlinux about 3 yrs ago and it supported apps as well as games. The site has changed 100% and doesn't list a demo any more.
[18:13] <alusion_> where do I find the actual package files? I wanna set printscreen to use shutter
[18:13] <robbie> how can I see the full titlebar text on a window that wont resize?
[18:13] <astex> akis: nothing.  wine just kind of works
[18:14] <Snicers-Work2> I set the local_root to the directory I want users locked into but they can still go closer to the root of the file system in vsftp, how do I restrict that?
[18:14] <genii-around> armbar: Which sort of indicates wherever it's getting it from doesn't have the ubuntu1 or ubuntu2 at the end and likely not an official repository
[18:14] <astex> akis: most of the time.  if not, try googling the program and see what other people have done to make it work.
[18:14] <robbie> how can I see the full titlebar text on a window that wont resize?
[18:14] <arabi> genii-around : no i didn't .. how can I do that
[18:15] <armbar> genii-around: so I it tells that libgmp-dev is not pointing to the right dependencies?
[18:17] <robbie> how can I see the full titlebar text on a window that wont resize?
[18:17] <arabi> genii-around : thanks .. now it is working :)
[18:19] <genii-around> armbar: What say result from: apt-cache policy  libgmp10
[18:19] <genii-around> arabi: You're welcome
[18:19] <robbie> how can I see the full titlebar text on a window that wont resize?
[18:19] <alsu> I'm trying to follow https://newrelic.com/docs/server/server-monitor-installation-ubuntu-and-debian

[18:21] <Ar71k> Hello, im looking for some help with my wireless USB network adapter
[18:21] <genii-around> armbar: the 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status line tells us it was installed manually and not from ubuntu repositories
[18:22] <armbar> ups that looks quite bad
[18:23] <robbie> xwininfo !! thank god

[18:24] <VlanX> anyone remembers how to download a directory with WGET and the option to select the destination folder?
[18:24] <leon1984> Can i reinstall initramfs-tools? there is an error.
[18:25] <dniMretsaM> leon1984: what error?
[18:25] <huggy-bear> VlanX: http://txt.binnyva.com/2007/03/download-entire-folder-using-wget-command-in-linux/
[18:25] <dniMretsaM> and what version of Ubuntu
[18:26] <genii-around> VlanX: -P or --directory-prefix=       according to the manpage
[18:26] <huggy-bear> VlanX: the flag: -P ~/some/folder sets the destination
[18:26] <theadmin> alsu: deb is not a command, read the instructions you are following carefully.
[18:27] <leon1984> dniMretsaM@ When i type "sudo apt-get install -f" it say "post-installation returned error code 1,initramfs-tools have an error"
[18:27] <genii-around> leon1984: sudo apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools
[18:27] <armbar> genii-around: how can I replace it without reinstalling the world? (apt-get remove libgmp10 removes a ton of packages)
[18:28] <genii-around> leon1984: Or, the package is installed properly but trying to rebuild the initrd is giving some error causing it to fail
[18:28] <genii-around> armbar: I didn't tell you to remove anything.
[18:28] <VlanX> huggy-bear: thanks for your help, i'm now trying to understand how the recursive parameter works
[18:28] <dniMretsaM> leon1984: try "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get upgrade" again. had this yesterday and that fixed it
[18:29] <genii-around> armbar: the: sudo apt-get install libgmp10= 2:5.0.2+dfsg-2ubuntu2         should just overwrite the existing version
[18:29] <leon1984> genii-around@ It say "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
[18:29] <crqd> is there a way of shortening the notification ballon from gwibber? it stays up far too long and clicking it doesn't get rid of it
[18:29] <huggy-bear> VlanX: as you can see on the website, you can tell it with the -l or level flag how deep it will go. inf goes into all folder that are there, so, if you don't know what's in it and you want it all, use that.
[18:30] <unrar> Hi
[18:31] <BlauskaerM> Is there someone in here that is skilled with fluxbox?
[18:31] <huggy-bear> BlauskaerM: depends on what you need.
[18:31] <genii-around> leon1984: What result from: ls /var/cache/apt/archives/initramfs-tools*
[18:32] <VlanX> huggy-bear: so, provided the address is something like http://aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd; with level 2 i would download only /ccc and all its subdirectorIes?
[18:32] <genii-around> armbar: I put a space by accident between the "=" and the "2" in that command, make sure there is no space and try then
[18:32] <leon1984> genii-around@ "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1),dpkg:initramfs-tools (--configure) error"
[18:32] <BlauskaerM> huggy-bear: I'm using fluxbox on one of my old computers atm but the latest gnome ver has damaged my by moving the "close window", "maximize window size" etc to the left side. Is there a way to change this in flusbox aswell?
[18:32] <BlauskaerM> me*
[18:32] <genii-around> leon1984: That's not the answer to the question I asked
[18:33] <huggy-bear> VlanX:  well, if you give it that address, level 2 would go another 2 levels beyond /ddd.
[18:33] <unrar> One question: On Ubuntu 12.04 with GNOME Shell, it's really good with nouveau, but when I install a NVIDIA driver it gets slow!!
[18:33] <unrar> Is it normal?
[18:33] <leon1984> genii-around@ It say no file
[18:33] <huggy-bear> BlauskaerM: i don't think that gnome can do that to fluxbox. let me check something, it's been a while... it's easy as pie to set that up, just need to check things...
[18:34] <dniMretsaM> leon1984: did you try what I suggested?
[18:34] <BlauskaerM> huggy-bear: I think you missunderstand me
[18:34] <crqd> gconftool-2 --set "/apps/metacity/general/button_layout" --type string "menu:minimize,maximize,close"
[18:34] <BlauskaerM> huggy-bear: I just want to move the close window buttons to the left side on fluxbox
[18:35] <BlauskaerM> huggy-bear: But nm, I think I found it
[18:35] <huggy-bear> BlauskaerM: oh, ok.
[18:35] <leon1984> dniMretsaM@ yes,i am tryed  It say the same error
[18:35] <BlauskaerM> huggy-bear: Thanks anyway :)
[18:35] <huggy-bear> BlackPanx: np :)
[18:35] <crqd> flux probably uses gtk, and it inherits it from gnome that way
[18:35] <Ar71k> I really need some help connecting my 12.04 box to the internet
[18:36] <dniMretsaM> leon1984: put the entire error in a pastebin and link it here
[18:36] <crqd> the reason why
[18:36] <alo21> hi all
[18:36] <llutz> BlauskaerM: http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php?title=Window_Buttons
[18:36] <huggy-bear> crqd: i don't think so.
[18:36] <alo21> what program can I use to upload translations file for LP?
[18:37] <Ar71k> i've installed the driver associated with my USB network adapter and ndiswrapper is showing its installed and the device is present
[18:37] <crqd> i was wrong, i thought everyone except kde used gtk :P
[18:37] <Ar71k> but i cannot get it to detect networks
[18:37] <crqd> like x/l
[18:37] <Snicers-Work2> should I user virtual users for vsftp?
[18:38] <dubac0> how do i see if a site is down via terminal?
[18:38] <Ar71k> when i do "sudo modprobe ndiswrapper" it returns "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found"
[18:38] <Ar71k> ping <site>
[18:38] <llutz> Snicers-Work2: if you want to chroot them, yes
[18:38] <leon1984> dniMretsaM@ I found it,"gzip: stdout: No space left on device"
[18:39] <trism> Ar71k: ndiswrapper is not included in the kernel by default anymore, you must install ndiswrapper-dkms to build it (which can be a bit difficult without network access)
[18:40] <llutz> !msg ubottu info gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
[18:40] <llutz> grr
[18:41] <trism> Ar71k: though on 12.10 you will probably be blocked by bug 1023645
[18:41] <Ar71k> trism: i've downloaded ndiswrapper-common_1.57_1ubuntu1_all.deb should i remove that first?
[18:42] <Ar71k> trism: i mistakenly said 12.10 im actually 12.04
[18:42] <crqd> what card are you using?
[18:42] <Ar71k> crqd: its a netgear N300
[18:42] <trism> Ar71k: no you don't need to remove that, you just need ndiswrapper-dkms, the linux-headers for your kernel and dkms (plus any dkms deps not already installed)
[18:43] <Ar71k> ill grab it now
[18:43] <crqd> those warnings about ndis being unstable isn't very nice looking though
[18:43] <genii-around> leon1984: What version of Ubuntu are you on, and is it 32 or 64 bit? If unsure, report result of: uname -a     and: cat /etc/issue

[18:48] <robbie> ive been having network issues and I am noticing that it drops more often when I am playing music on Rhythmbox .. I think it might be related to UPNP?
[18:48] <trism> Ar71k: apt-cache policy linux-headers-$(uname -r); should tell you if you already have the headers, dkms is here http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/dkms, gcc should be installed by default but I don't know about make and patch
[18:48] <trism> Ar71k: I unfortunately don't know a nice way to get a list of everything you need
[18:49] <Ar71k> trism: after installing the dkms, what would be the proper next step to testing if it worked?
[18:49] <TechnodicT_> Any suggestions for a product designing software on ubuntu.?
[18:50] <trism> Ar71k: check: dkms status; to see if it is installed for your kernel
[18:50] <TechnodicT_> [00:19] (TechnodicT_) Any suggestions for a product designing software on ubuntu.?
[18:50] <laserfandango> What X server and client is the NExus 7 version of Ubuntu running?
[18:51] <wilee-nilee> TechnodicT_, This is support, if you had a specific goal you might get help otherwise polling the channel is off topic
[18:52] <guybrush> Hi every one, i have a problem when booting, i use a sdcard to boot from, and after a short while i get a terminal with: initramfs,,, what to do?
[18:52] <Ar71k> trism: i've done the modprobe, and a iwconfig. It looks like its starting to work
[18:52] <trism> Ar71k: excellent
[18:54] <leon1984> genii-around@ When i type "update&&upgrade" the error is : http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8327/8135851661_7ffac40621_b.jpg
[18:54] <ratbert90> Hey does anybody know of a program to read information being sent to a serial port?
[18:54] <ratbert90> I have a device that I need verified and it *should* be sending temp and direction through the rs232 port
[18:54] <Peanut> ratbert90: minicom is a terminal emulater, is that what you're looking for?
[18:55] <Peanut> (emulator rather)
[18:55] <Ar71k> trism: its detected my network but cannot connect, im gona try to restart. Are there any suggestions as to another issue it could be?
[18:55] <ratbert90> Peanut, no no.  This is a device connected a embedded system.  I am using GTKterm to connect to the board, and I need a program that could read the information the camera is sending through RS232
[18:55] <TechnodicT_> Compiz crashing a lot on 12.10 any sugestions?
[18:56] <trism> Ar71k: not really sure, been a while since I used ndiswrapper myself
[18:56] <Evdb> Hye guys, quick little question, in which specific line do I need to add the boor parameters, and where in that line?
[18:56] <Ar71k> trism: no worries, thanks a heap for your help mate. i think i'll give it a few more goes.
[18:56] <Peanut> ratbert90: do you want the data just in a file, or a program that is able to understand the specific data format that your device is dumping on RS232?
[18:56] <MonkeyDust> what's boor?
[18:57] <Evdb> Haha I meant boot typo sorry
[18:57] <ratbert90> Peanut, hopefully clean terminal output would be preferred
[18:58] <Evdb> So MonkeyDust can you help me?
[18:58] <genii-around> leon1984: So:  cd && mkdir initramfs && cd initramfs && wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/busybox/busybox-initramfs_1.18.5-1ubuntu4_amd64.deb && wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/initramfs-tools/initramfs-tools-bin_0.99ubuntu13_amd64.deb &&  wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/module-init-tools/module-init-tools-udeb_3.16-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb && wget http://archive.ubuntu.
[18:58] <genii-around> com/ubuntu/pool/main/i/initramfs-tools/initramfs-tools_0.99ubuntu13_all.deb     then: sudo dpkg -i busybox-initramfs_1.18.5-1ubuntu4_amd64.deb  && sudo dpkg -i initramfs-tools-bin_0.99ubuntu13_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i initramfs-tools_0.99ubuntu13_all.deb
[18:58] <wilee-nilee> Evdb, /etc/default/grub is the file for adding parameters once added run a update-grub
[18:58] <Peanut> ratbert90: then why wouldn't minicom suffice, if ou want terminal output?
[18:59] <Evdb> wilee-nilee yeah but I mean in the grub menu sorry
[18:59] <Evdb> wilee-nilee I just need to know which line (when i press 'e') and where in that line
[18:59] <Phibs> is there any way to change to 1000HZ vs 100 in the kernel ?
[19:00] <wilee-nilee> Evdb, In the menu you would hit e and navigate to the line where you see quiet and add it, if you want it permanent then the file I posted.
[19:00] <genii-around> leon1984: You're out of room in the /boot directory
[19:00] <Peanut> Phibs: generally, recompile the kernel with the setting you want
[19:01] <Phibs> Peanut: was wondering if the 'lowlatency' image did that
[19:01] <genii-around> leon1984: Forget the earlier instructions about manually getting the files, and instead the result of:    df -h
[19:01] <Peanut> No, 'lowlatency' means high resolution timers and probably an interruptable kernel.
[19:01] <Evdb> wilee-nilee and does it matter where in that line? And should I only add stuff or also delete stuff?
[19:02] <AlexNagy> does anyone know who originally wrote tk-wrapper?
[19:02] <AlexNagy> erm, wrong chan
[19:02] <t0astcfh> hello all. im having an issue with Archive manager and would like to know if there is a way to debug it. Its not allowing me to add files to an archive and giving "
[19:02] <Phibs> Peanut: ok
[19:02] <wilee-nilee> Evdb, Depends on what your adding is the real question, anything done there is not permanent so you can do it without any damage.
[19:03] <Evdb> wilee-nilee okay thanks I'll try some stuff out!
[19:03] <wilee-nilee> Evdb, The important thing here is details not vague questions.
[19:03] <wilee-nilee> ;)
[19:03] <Benxyzzy> Is there still much of a use for CompizConfig Settings Manager in 12.04? I still have it installed from way back in 10.04, back when Ubuntu shipped without a proper settings dashboard for some reason. Here's hoping that 12.04 provides CCSM's functionality now and I can remove it...
[19:04] <wilee-nilee> Benxyzzy, ccsm is the desktop manager for unity
[19:04] <leon1984> genii-around@ It say 404 not found
[19:05] <Peanut> I have a system with Intel Matrix RAID in the BIOS, which is supported by Ubuntu. Now I'm trying the rescue CD because my upgrade to 12.10 failed, but the rescue CD recognises the raid as /dev/mapper/isw_<long_string>, but does not offer me the option to use it as my root filesystem for the rescue. How can I trick the rescue image into doing that?
[19:05] <Benxyzzy> wilee-nilee: Really? I thought it was an optional extra to install, and I've read lots of places saying it's dangerous
[19:05] <genii-around> leon1984: "404 not found" is a web problem. I require the result of: df -h
[19:05] <alone> there is yankies here ?
[19:05] <crqd> Benxyzzy, they removed all the fancy things from it like desktop cube so there's not much point
[19:05] <genii-around> alone: As well as every other nationality
[19:05] <wilee-nilee> Benxyzzy, unity is a plugin in ccsm it all sists on top of gnome 3 in 12.04, dangerous hardly.
[19:05] <wilee-nilee> sits*
[19:06] <crqd> compiz is the wm, ccssm is just the settings editor
[19:06] <crqd> like gconf
[19:06] <wilee-nilee> crqd, Not true the cube and other cutom settings are still there.
[19:06] <tacomaster> what is the purple background with the orange dots that light up and go back to white untill the lightdm loads?
[19:06] <wilee-nilee> custom*
[19:06] <alone> genii-around: there is anybodys from new-york* ;D 'cause I see that it's shit
[19:06] <Benxyzzy> wilee-nilee: http://askubuntu.com/questions/80589/what-are-some-of-the-issues-with-ccsm-and-why-should-i-not-use-it
[19:07] <genii-around> alone: That's not a support question, please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, without the profanity
[19:07] <wilee-nilee> Benxyzzy, Notice the date on that post and 11.10, that has nothing to do with 12.04
[19:07] <alone> genii-around: ...
[19:08] <Peanut> I cannot even mount it from the CLI in rescue: I have /dev/mapper/isw_<long_string>, but I need to mount /dev/mapper/isw_<long_string>p1 for my root fs (the full disk is listed in /dev/mapper, but its partitions aren't - but I can see them with fdisk)
[19:08] <leon1984> genii-around@ df -h,The /boot was full,and another was 95% used
[19:08] <genii-around> alone: They are actually discussing that in there right now
[19:08] <Benxyzzy> wilee-nilee: So in answer to my original question then, between 11.10 and 12.04 ccsm has gone from a desktop-destroying 'advanced tool' to a bone-fide integrated piece of the system?
[19:08] <crqd> just launched ccsm and no desktop cube or wobly window for instance
[19:09] <genii-around> leon1984: Yes. You need to make more room on /boot ( at least )  and probably on the rest as well
[19:09] <wilee-nilee> Benxyzzy, THe dangerous is one I say one persons opinion and a bad one.
[19:09] <genii-around> alone: eg:  /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:10] <wilee-nilee> Benxyzzy, If it was so dangerous why would canonical have it part of there main desktop.
[19:10] <yellabs> any one using ubuntu on an asus transformer ?
[19:10] <crqd> it isn't in the default, you need to install
[19:10] <leon1984> genii-around@ Ok,thank you very much :)
[19:11] <wilee-nilee> yellabs, Post your problem, polling for users is a waste of time.
[19:11] <yellabs> its not a poll , thanks
[19:11] <Benxyzzy> wilee-nilee: The OP suggests it is not one opinion, and I was hoping for a better reasoning for CCSM's improvement than "trust Canonical"
[19:12] <brontosaurusrex> Benxyzzy: most of us are just users as well, or did you expect a hot debate?
[19:12] <theadmin> yellabs: Ubuntu doesn't really do ARM...
[19:12] <theadmin> yellabs: So just stay with Android for now
[19:12] <Phibs> theadmin: really? How is it on the nexus 7 then :)
[19:12] <wilee-nilee> Benxyzzy, Well never had a problem here, but I know how ccsm works. It is nopt a matter of trusting Canonical, it is not getting caught up in confirmation bias from a post.
[19:12] <yellabs> ah , you are right
[19:12] <Benxyzzy> brontosaurusrex: What makes you say that?
[19:12] <theadmin> Phibs: Must be some special, maybe even non-official port
[19:12] <Phibs> nod
[19:13] <brontosaurusrex> Benxyzzy: mz keyboard
[19:13] <brontosaurusrex> my*
[19:13] <Pici> !arm
[19:13] <theadmin> Phibs: And I'm talking about <s>serious</s> official buisness here
[19:13] <Benxyzzy> wilee-nilee: Several posts. And I don't know what I believe yet, hence why I'm asking here. You've clarified a lot for me, thanks
[19:14] <Phibs> theadmin: oh snap dawg
[19:15] <Benxyzzy> lol, just fired it up for the first time in ages: "This tool allows you to deeply configure Compiz's settings. Some options may be incompatible with each other. Unless used with care, it is possible to be left with an unusable desktop."
[19:16] <yellabs> hmm, xchat cant scroll
[19:16] <yellabs> because no scroll bar
[19:16] <devish> neither irssi
[19:16] <Troy^> I'm using weechat atm
[19:17] <yellabs> sounds cool, weechat
[19:17] <Troy^> yellabs: similiar to irssi with a different layout of things.

[19:22] <yellabs> be back in a minute
[19:24] <yellabs> alright

[19:29] <Evdb> Hey Wilee-nilee everything worked out and after the big problems I've had Ubuntu is running great again!
[19:31] <wilee-nilee> cool Evdb,
[19:32] <[TiZ]> So, displaylink. What do I have to do to make it work on Quantal?
[19:33] <bassna> hello. could anybody help me with getting a program to install correct?
[19:35] <wilee-nilee> bassna, What is the program?
[19:35] <bassna> projectm
[19:36] <VlanX> is it possible to have a program or a widged that blinks whenever a write o read have been made on your hard drive?
[19:36] <bassna> lol?
[19:37] <bassna> you must be one angry fat kid to just be sitting in here waiting to make fun of people lol
[19:37] <Safa_[A_boy]> hello, I have a problem when I copy from my flash, an error dialog come and say "Error splicing file: Input/output error", what to do?
[19:38] <bassna> need friends man?
[19:38] <Bernd187> what should I use in a chroot => "mount -t proc /proc /mnt/chroot/proc"  vs "mount -o bind /proc /mnt/chroot/proc" ?
[19:38] <d1gital> Where can I go to check the development status of a particular package?  For example, I want to know when apache 2.2.23 will be available in the repos.
[19:40] <genii-around> Bernd187: Also dev and sys
[19:40] <bassna> wilee-nilee i tried to install it, but it doesnt open i guess
[19:40] <llutz> Bernd187: the 1st, bind not needed
[19:40] <[TiZ]> So would I be correct in guessing that displaylink is only going to work in linux once it's not necessary anymore?
[19:40] <Bernd187> genii-around & llutz, thx so first one
[19:41] <[TiZ]> I'm kind of hacked off. These devices have been around for a very, very long time. Windows 7 handles them flawlessly. Compositing, desktop effects, everything. Meanwhile, over here, we have to hand-craft an xorg.conf just to have a displaylink monitor on the same desktop, and even then, no compositing or even acceleration.
[19:43] <David-A> VlanX: xosview can and I think gkrellm can too, and probably others (blink or idicate hd activity among other things)
[19:44] <Safa_[A_boy]> :'(
[19:46] <chrmhoffmann> linaro
[19:48] <guybrush> Hi every one, i have a problem when booting, i get a strange terminal output initramfs,,, what to do? i used another sdcard that is lower read/write speed, and that did work....
[19:49]  * chrmhoffmann blushes. sorry.
[19:52] <steve___> is it possible to use tuxedo ntfs instead of ntfs-3g in ubuntu? is it free?
[19:53] <steve___> sorry no offence, but what's that suppose to mean?
[19:55] <llutz> steve___: tuxerea-ntfs you mean? that's afaik MAC-stuff
[19:55] <bergersen> Having some trouble booting Ubuntu after install... it never loads GRUB, just jumps right back into Windows 7! Kinda new at this :( I have multiple HDDs, and install Ubuntu on a separate drive...
[19:56] <bkfitz> Can someone help me figure out why UFW is not enabling by default on reboot... I've set ENABLED=yes within /etc/ufw/ufw.conf
[19:56] <bjrohan> I am not able to get ffmpeg working correctly, either via the package manager, or by following the guide here: https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide I have removed both the package and the compilation guide. ANy help in getting ffmpeg working is greatly appreciated
[19:57] <bekks> bjrohan: What do you mean by "working properly"?
[19:57] <cap10morgan> In 12.04, does the /usr/lib/jvm/default-java symlink no longer get created?
[19:57] <steve___> llutz: i meant tuxera,  yes...  i just read this http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-embedded/performance/
[19:58] <bkfitz> And I do have a file that exists in /etc/init.d/ called ufw
[19:58] <bkfitz> so I assume that means startup on boot
[19:58] <bjrohan> So that when I open a file in say Kdenlive, OpenShot, or WINFF, I can export it to, avi, mov, mpeg4, etc. it only let's me output to ogg
[19:58] <brontosaurusrex> bjrohan: the usual way is to compile latest git or find some up to date ppa
[19:59] <bjrohan> I followed the instructions for Ubuntu here: https://ffmpeg.org/trac/ffmpeg/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide
[20:00] <brontosaurusrex> bjrohan: that looks good to me
[20:00] <akSeya> hello ^^
[20:01] <bjrohan> brontosaurusrex: it was a no go. Could this be perhaps because I did it in my home directory, so said programs couldn't find it, even with a symlink?
[20:01] <akSeya> folks, i have just made a upgrade here, now looks like ubuntu is ignoring the systray-whitelist from dconf
[20:01] <akSeya> i'm missing some icons on systray, how can I enable it again?
[20:01] <insulina> hello, I have a ubuntu server, afther installing nagios3, the server know dont let me access to public pages without auth http://autoprobadtm.cge.uevora.pt/maps/ , how can I remove this and nagios? the service seems to continue there even after I remove it with apt-get, thanks
[20:01] <brontosaurusrex> bjrohan: they may be tied to their version
[20:02] <WeThePeople> is there a better option than alsamixer, the volume is to sensitive
[20:03] <bjrohan> brontosaurusrex: as I have no ffmpeg installed, do you think I shuould go with the one in the stock ppa, and add in the libav53 extras?
[20:04] <brontosaurusrex> bjrohan: no idea. i just use it from cli
[20:04] <bjrohan> brontosaurusrex: Gotcha

[20:07] <backbox> what up people
[20:08] <David-A> VlanX: you don't think it's too much? tried conky? or screenlets?
[20:08] <backbox> Hi there every one
[20:08] <backbox> say hi
[20:08] <WeThePeople> david-a, conky takes some know how to program
[20:09] <bekks> WeThePeople: Not at all.
[20:09] <bekks> It only takes someknow how on how to use an editor to configure the configuration file.
[20:10] <David-A> well, you may need to know how to google
[20:10] <WeThePeople> yeah, conky is easy :)
[20:14] <dr_willis> conky old school. now they addeded stuff thats beyond me to it.
[20:15] <VlanX> David-A: i actually do have screenlets, but i don't think i can do that
[20:15] <VlanX> David-A: do you think it'll be too much cpu expensive?
[20:16] <dr_willis> conky i would think is less cpu hungry then screenlets
[20:16] <dr_willis> bbl
[20:16] <David-A> VlanX: no worries for the cpu, too much christmas-tree on the screen, for you eyes
[20:17] <VlanX> David-A: i'm planning to buy a 23" full HD monitor, so the hell :D
[20:20] <crowfax> hi guys, i feel like i've contracted a case of the stupid. can somene tell me how the hell to enable OEM mode in the 12.10 installer?
[20:20] <David-A> VlanX: 23", even worse then, hope you are not sensitive to epelepsy
[20:22] <VlanX> lol
[20:22] <crowfax> do i take it to mean no one knows?
[20:23] <Danon> There trashing our rights man! There trashing the flow of data!
[20:23] <limpc> hi, I've been upgrading my ubuntu since 11.04, and my HD recently died right as 12.10 was released.  So I got a SSD and installed 12.10 on it.  However, I have not had any luck getting ATI's drivers to work with it since.  I have a Radeon HD6700.  It was working fine in 11.10, but wasnt as fast since 12.04 and I cant get it to install correctly at all in 12.10 -
[20:23] <limpc> im only able to use the opensource version which sucks.
[20:24] <crowfax> anyone? no. awesome.
[20:24] <crowfax> it's weird, google doesn't have the answer either
[20:24] <brontosaurusrex> !oem

[20:31] <mirak_> jrib, it's not, I will just take the packages from quantal. Or install quantal repo and see what happens
[20:32] <crowfax> ah well, guess it can't be done in 12.10 then
[20:32] <jrib> mirak_: um, why are you ignoring the advice given to you?

[20:37] <julius_> hi
[20:37] <mirak_> jrib, ok that's doable. I remember there was an option to set when building, but that's really far away.
[20:37] <jrib> mirak_: you should grab the source packages and rebuild them.  There's some tool that automates the backport process too if you prefer.  It should be referenced on the wiki.  It's called "prevu" iirc
[20:37] <julius_> says here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/jetty            that jetty is version 6.x in ubuntu. but theres already a jetty 9.x - will it ever be updated?
[20:37] <aoeui`> ubottu: David-A: thanks. "very easy" to find and easily accessible from the download area
[20:38] <mirak_> jrib, anyway i need to add quantal repos to get the source package
[20:38] <David-A> i'm no bot, but don't think I'm intelligent either :)
[20:38] <jrib> mirak_: sure, the deb-src lines
[20:39] <mirak_> jrib, yeah right
[20:39] <duncan> David-A: can I msg you? it's so noisy in here. I think the install is intact, all the files seem to be there. It must be something I did with the MBR.
[20:39] <trism> mirak_: just install ubuntu-dev-tools and pull-lp-source source_package quantal; (you can also use backportpackage)
[20:39] <trism> mirak_: not need to add quantal repos
[20:39] <David-A> duncan: pleas msg
[20:40] <DaemonicApathy> duncan, have you tried running update-grub from Ubuntu?
[20:41] <mirak_> trism, ok
[20:41] <duncan> DaemonicApathy: could that help? it's booting fine into linux, so why wouldn't it work for windows?
[20:42] <mirak_> trism, i don't like a lot to install dev packages
[20:43] <mirak_> trism, it bloats a bit the system
[20:44] <mirak_> trism, if i want to fix a default distribution, should i put precise, precise-updates ?
[20:44] <mirak_> precise-security ?
[20:44] <mirak_> wich order are they ?
[20:44] <DaemonicApathy> duncan: depends on why Win7 isn't being recognized. If the boot entry was just mixed up, updating grub can find it again sometimes.
[20:44] <trism> mirak_: --no-install-recommends can help, or just dpkg-dev and go to launchpad to get the .dsc and tar files, though you will still need some dev packages to do the rebuild
[20:44] <Adam__> hello
[20:45] <trism> mirak_: I'm not sure what you mean
[20:45] <Adam__> how add windows on grub when i have 3 phisical HDD - #1 - grub+ubuntu, #2 - /home, #3 windows 7
[20:46] <mirak_> trism, in apt you can set the prefered version. Wich allows to add quantal repos, and install just the necessary packages from quantal
[20:46] <mirak_> without marking everything as to update
[20:46] <trism> mirak_: yes but I am not talking about adding quantal repos at all
[20:46] <duncan> DaemonicApathy: ok, worth a try I guess. Can you point me to a quick run down on the commands? not something i do very often.
[20:47] <DaemonicApathy> "update-grub" in a terminal, duncan
[20:47] <DaemonicApathy> No quotes.
[20:48] <duncan> DaemonicApathy: oh, that worked fine. Usually I think it's a pain working with grub. I'll reboot in a mo and see if anything has changed.
[20:50] <mirak_> trism, ok thanks. I even forgot i had my own ppa by the way ^^
[20:51] <Adam__> how add windows on grub when i have 3 phisical HDD - #1 - grub+ubuntu, #2 - /home, #3 windows 7
[20:51] <trism> mirak_: with your ppa you can do
[20:51] <mirak_> yep i will upload them there
[20:52] <trism> mirak_: backportpackage -u ppa:user/ppa package_name; and it should mostly do it for you
[20:52] <DaemonicApathy> Adam__: run "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and select which drives you want grub on.
[20:52] <mirak_> trism, i had to to pbuilder create
[20:53] <mirak_> trism, but yeah
[20:53] <marsje> my friend just upgraded from ubuntu server 10.04 to 12.04 and now it seems his dns settings are wrong... how can I see what is the current dns-server? how can I change it?
[20:54] <Adam__> DaemonicApathy: grub2-common can be?
[20:54] <Adam__> i don't have grub-pc
[20:54] <mirak_> trism, jrib, thanks to you guys i am rediscovering the joys of building hahaha
[20:54] <MonkeyDust> marsje  there's also #ubuntu-server
[20:54] <Adam__> i can't recovfigure it
[20:54] <DaemonicApathy> Adam__: I believe that is fine, but play around with it.
[20:55] <Adam__> # dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
[20:55] <Adam__> Package `grub-pc' is not installed and no info is available.
[20:55] <marsje> MonkeyDust: true, but I think it's not ubuntu server specific... but I'll  check
[20:55] <Adam__> # dpkg-reconfigure grub
[20:55] <Adam__> grub2-common        grub-common         grub-efi            grub-efi-amd64      grub-efi-amd64-bin
[20:57] <Adam__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1316336/
[20:57] <Adam__> but it didnt installed windows in boot
[20:58] <DaemonicApathy> I'm not an expert on grub, but unless someone else has a better idea, I'd suggest installing grub-pc, Adam__.
[20:59] <Adam__> DaemonicApathy: i have grub2
[21:00] <DaemonicApathy> Me too.
[21:00] <erncic> Adam__ : this may help you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1673788
[21:02] <Adam__> DaemonicApathy: grub2 dont have grub-pc
[21:04] <Adam__> i can't belive that is so hard :/
[21:04] <Adam__> why can't it just work
[21:06] <wilee-nilee> Adam__, Grub 2 has grub-pc
[21:06] <Adam__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1316363/
[21:06] <Adam__> i dont have
[21:06] <Adam__> on clear install ubuntu
[21:06] <Adam__> few days ago
[21:06] <FloodBot1> Adam__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:07] <wilee-nilee> Adam__, If you are running a efi setup there is very little help here I would use the ubuntu forum, and run a bootscript.
[21:07] <VLanX> anyone else experienced mouse or keyboard lagging even with CPU << 100% ?
[21:08] <Adam__> wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1316363/
[21:09] <Adam__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1316371/
[21:09] <Adam__> <- after lang=c
[21:10] <wilee-nilee> Adam__, I would post that bootscript in your own thread for help at the Ubuntu Forums, there are only a couple of users regularly on this channel who kn ow this stuff, the forums has sevral more on almost al the time.
[21:10] <Adam__> i am not on ubuntu forum
[21:11] <wilee-nilee> Adam__, I know a msdos set up and grub 2 quite well but not a got setup. Join the forum then.
[21:11] <wilee-nilee> gpt*
[21:11] <Adam__> but there is no any magic
[21:11] <Adam__> just how add next hdd to grub :(
[21:11] <Adam__> when i switch in bios, windows boot fine
[21:12] <brontosaurusrex> VLanX: usually a drivers problem
[21:13] <wilee-nilee> Adam__, It is not magic, but most do not know gpt, it is not often seen.
[21:13] <Benxyzzy> exit
[21:13] <Benxyzzy> whoops
[21:14] <VLanX> brontosaurusrex: you sure? happens quite rarely, expecially with system under load
[21:16] <mirak_> trism, it doesn't work. I don't understand why the build worked, and now i want to install it says dependencies are missing
[21:18] <trism> mirak_: can you pastebin the output?
[21:18] <mstenta> Hi all, I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro... neither the LiveCD nor LiveUSB works. I have checked the MD5 on both. When I reboot and hold 'c' (to boot from cd) the cd spins for a bit, then ejects itself and I end up with a black screen with just a blinking cursor.
[21:18] <mstenta> Has anyone had this issue? Or has anyone been able to successfully install Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro?
[21:18] <Noskcaj> mstenta: is the cd scratched at all?
[21:19] <mstenta> Noskcaj: Nope. Brand new. And I tried it on another PC laptop and it worked fine.
[21:19] <moorscode> hi there
[21:19] <Noskcaj> mstenta: you need the amd64-mac cd
[21:19] <Noskcaj> google for it
[21:19] <mstenta> Noskcaj: Yep, that's what I'm using... 12.10 AMD64+MAC
[21:20] <Noskcaj> ok, im out of ideas, hopefully someone else knows
[21:20] <mstenta> Noskcaj: thanks anyway :-)
[21:20] <moorscode> I'm having a massive struggle with postfix; 550 5.1.1: User unknown in virtual alias table - would anybody please give me some thoughts?
[21:20] <mstenta> I think it might be an issue with boot partitions... ? But I really have no idea how those work... :-/
[21:21] <mstenta> I have installed Ubuntu previously on this MacBook, and installed Refit in the process... I didn't use it for a while, and then recently I decided to delete my Ubuntu partition and try it again with a newer install. But now I can't boot the install CD at all.
[21:22] <mstenta> I'm wondering if deleting the old partition messed something up...,
[21:22] <mstenta> Oh I hope that someone here is ignoring the impending doom of the hurricane and knows how to help me!!! ;-)
[21:22] <falconindy> hi. i notice that when i switch workspaces in unity with a keyboard shortcut, if i do it quickly, the popup with the workspace view "sticks". anyone know of a bug report regarding this, or maybe if there's some way to change the behavior of the workspace switcher so that this popup isn't visible to begin with?
[21:24] <mstenta> I have googled just about every possible combination of terms to find a solution... I've found a few similar issues... but none of them have had solutions that worked for me.
[21:24] <mstenta> I've been trying to get this to work for the past 3 days
[21:26] <mstenta> :-(
[21:26] <mdpai> Hi guys. I got this error/warning when try to install grub. http://pastebin.com/zAUhkLwc  Anyone has a pointer?
[21:27] <mdpai> I move my Ubuntu installation to another drive and want to install grub on it.
[21:30] <mdpai> Can I just change the partition table to let say msdos?
[21:30] <David-A> mdpai: my guess is the partition table is not of type msdos and there is not room for a normal grub2 boot record.
[21:31] <mdpai> If I want to change the partition table to msdos, do I need to reformat all?
[21:31] <mdpai> David-A: ^\
[21:31] <David-A> mdpai: You can change it but I don't know if current partitions will be saved.
[21:32] <mdpai> David-A: I will try it then
[21:32] <mdpai> thanks

[21:34] <mdpai> Well I have no choice.
[21:34] <k1l_> snow_ru: change the release prompt form lts releases to the regular releases. in the repository settings
[21:34] <vfw> snow_ru: You don't like LTS?
[21:35] <snow_ru> what should I do to upgrade it to 12.10 ?
[21:35] <vfw> mdpai: Why do you want to change it?
[21:35] <snow_ru> klaas, vfw  ?
[21:35] <vfw> snow_ru: k1l_ just told you.

[21:40] <vfw> mdpai: /dev/sdc ?   Shouldn't you be installing grub on sda?

[21:41] <mdpai> vfw: Is it a must?
[21:41] <David-A> mdpai: you can try testdisk afterwards to see if it can recover the partitions. (no guarantee, for fun or education)
[21:41] <vfw> mdpai: Why?
[21:41] <vfw> mdpai: Which HD boots?
[21:41] <mdpai> vfw: Why not?
[21:41] <shince> H,G keys are not working as its should be. When i press any mentioned keys,its select the last typed word or curlsor will go anywhere in the typed sentence...what could be the issue??
[21:41] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, You a member of the ubuntu forums?
[21:41] <vfw> mdpai: Which Hard Drive does your computer boot to?  sda?
[21:42] <mdpai> David-A: I'm re-rsync my hdd now. :)

[21:42] <profoak> Hey guys, I'm having trouble running a file through terminal and by gui. When typing ./filename, it says file now found. The file is in fact there and I am in the correct directory, but it won't run. Has anyone run into similar problems?

[21:42] <isolier> I am trying to install 12.10, and all seems to go well, however, the install hangs at "Configuring Hardware" and showing the details reveals it is initramfs at "generating /boot/initrd" Any ideas?
[21:42] <vfw> mdpai: Then why are you trying to install grub onto sdc ?
[21:42] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: I don't think so. :)
[21:43] <mdpai> vfw: I want to move my Ubuntu installation to the new drive. You are like a FBI. :)
[21:43] <bekks> profoak: Could you show a pastebin of all that?
[21:43] <Linkandzelda> hello can somone help me fix broken packages in ubuntu 10?
[21:44] <bekks> Linkandzelda: In which Ubuntu 10?
[21:44] <Linkandzelda> im trying to install eclipse and packges eclipse-jdt and pde are not being installed
[21:44] <vfw> mdpai: moving your Ubuntu installation from one drive to another is a pretty complicated affair.  You might be better off to backup /home/ and re-install.
[21:44] <David-A> profoak: did you spell it exactly? it should be executable, and then you can type the beginning of its name and then TAB to complete the name
[21:44] <Linkandzelda> 10.04 lts i beleive
[21:44] <kev_> why is it impossible to map a network drive?
[21:44] <mdpai> vfw: No.
[21:44] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, The forums is your best instructions on this I used to due grub help there. There are some users on everyday who can be more helpful with a gpt setup then the couple that are on here
[21:44] <profoak> bekks: It literally says "No such file or directory". David-A: I always use tab completion.
[21:44] <bekks> Linkandzelda: Whats the output of lsb_release -sc ?
[21:45] <bekks> kev_: It is possible.
[21:45] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: I already changed the partition table to msdos :(
[21:45] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, Run this script then and pastebin the text. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[21:45] <Linkandzelda> its lucid
[21:45] <mdpai> In the process of rsync both drive right now.
[21:45] <Linkandzelda> bekks: this is backtrack 5 based on ubuntu lucid, i get the same result with actual lucid too
[21:45] <David-A> Procrastinator: if the script has a faulty shebang it may say "file not found" or similar, not about the script file, but about the interpreter.
[21:45] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, The script will tell us what we need to know.
[21:46] <kev_> bekks i'm really struggling here
[21:46] <David-A> profoak: see msg to Procrastinator ^^
[21:47] <vfw> mdpai: Ok, once you move your ubuntu partitions, you'll need to change fstab and re-install grub to the HD that boots, (which is more-than-likely sda, not sdc).
[21:47] <profoak> David-A: It's a binary file. It's an installer for necessitas from their website
[21:47] <bekks> !backtrack ¦ Linkandzelda
[21:48] <Linkandzelda> bekks: huh? lol
[21:48] <bekks> !backtrack
[21:48] <guntbert> bekks: wrong pipe :)
[21:48] <Linkandzelda> Ok, then I'll boot ubuntu 10.04, will you be able to provide support then?
[21:48] <mdpai> vfw: Ok. That's what I want to do. Want to try this at least once. :)
[21:49] <mdpai> vfw: Grub is always on sda? This is one thing I don't really understand
[21:49] <kev_> back to windows
[21:51] <uglyoldbob> how do I specify a video bitrate for the stream between ffmpeg and ffserver and have it actually use that bitrate?
[21:51] <vfw> mdpai: What is not to uderstand?  The computer boots to the primary drive, (which in most cases is sda1).
[21:52] <mdpai> vfw:  For example if I install grub to two different drives. It will always look at the primary drive correct? But then, how a primary drive is chosen?
[21:53] <dark> hi i'm new to ubuntu and completely lost
[21:53] <uglyoldbob> i think ffserver calls it the feed
[21:54] <dark> don't know if anyone can help but  i'm running ubuntu 12.10 and trying to install the current nvidia release but when i do unity doesn't show
[21:54] <vfw> mdpai: Why install grub on any other drive but the primary one?
[21:55] <vfw> mdpai: You only need it on one HD, the primary drive, sda
[21:55] <shince> H,G keys are not working as its should be. When i press any mentioned keys,its select the last typed word or curlsor will go anywhere in the typed sentence...what could be the issue??
[21:55] <shince> ubuntu 11.10
[21:57] <mdpai> vfw: Ok.  So if my sda doesn't move and I just move my Ubuntu in sdb to sdc, I don't need to re-install grub. Correct?
[21:57] <jasper^off> hej guys

[22:01] <anonymous> jemand aus deutschland hier?
[22:01] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, Are the sdb and sdc ubuntu identical?
[22:01] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: Right now yes. I just rsync sdb1 and sdc1
[22:02] <mdpai> I plan to format sdb after this transfer successful
[22:02] <dark> anyone wanna walk me through the install of the current nvidia driver on 12.10
[22:03] <jrib> !nvidia | dark
[22:03] <Linkandzelda> here is the error i'm getting, if anyone can help with it i would be very greatful http://cl.ly/image/0K043d2R0m2k
[22:03] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, That will be a problem for grub, but whichever one you want to run needs grub in its mbr, grub is in the sdb as of now, but will probably need a reload to boot by chrooting in and running the grub-install /dev/sdb  as suggested before you will want the fstab correct. Grub will be confused by two identical ubuntu's though.
[22:04] <torres> Where is the best place to talk about Unity development?
[22:04] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: So my grub is in sdb and not sda?
[22:05] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, correct you want it in the same HD, unless you have a master slave setup which I don't think this is.
[22:05] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, Can you unplug the sdc drive?
[22:06] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: I'm on Live CD now. So if I chroot to sdc and install grub there, I need to un-install grub from sdb first?
[22:06] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, you would not have to uninstall grub at a all, which drive has the ubuntu you want to use?
[22:06] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: sdc
[22:07] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, The problem here is that you have 2 identical ubuntu's that will confuse grub, so you need to deal with that first.
[22:08] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, You would be better with a clone of the sdc ubuntu not an exact copy.
[22:08] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: Can't we say to grub which UUID that has the Ubuntu that we want?
[22:09] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, I'm not sure how to be honest, but a update of grub will nulify that even if you can.
[22:09] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, grub does not read the UUID I believe.
[22:10] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, I would just clone the one on sdc with clonezilla and remove the sdb one.
[22:11] <wilee-nilee> unless you have some need for both then you will have to fins a helper who knows what to do then. mdpai
[22:12] <wilee-nilee> find*
[22:13] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: Actually I don't need both. What I want to do right now is to move my Ubuntu from sdb1 to sdc1. Then, I want to format the entire sdb.
[22:13] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: If I install grub to sdc1 then format sdb. It will solve my problem right?
[22:14] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, Not sure what your problem is exactly.
[22:14] <Ballek> hi
[22:15] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: I don't know what the problem either. You are saying that I will have an issue regarding the identical ubuntu installation.
[22:15] <L3top> mdpai: You would install grub on the first disk in boot order, and not using the partition number... and then update it. I would get rid of sdb1 first so it is not found by grub.
[22:15] <bretolius> Anyone recomend a some good, lightwheight, unity compatable system monitors for the toolbar?
[22:15] <bretolius> like CPU/network meteters
[22:15] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: I don't need both installation. I just want to move from sdb to sdc
[22:15] <dark> ok not to sound like an idiot but it keeps telling me nvidia installer needs to be run as root how do i do that
[22:16] <L3top> dark sudo
[22:16] <bretolius> dark: sudo
[22:16] <mdpai> L3top: So I need to install grub on sda now?
[22:16] <bretolius> dark: are you having nvidia driver issues with 12.10?
[22:16] <dark> yes
[22:16] <bretolius> yeah they are fucked up but I have a solution I can point you too
[22:16] <bretolius> yike sorry language
[22:17] <toastcfh> hello all. im having an issue with Archive manager and would like to know if there is a way to debug it. Its not allowing me to add files to an archive and giving "
[22:17] <dark> please i just want my 1920x1080 hd res back
[22:17] <L3top> mdpai: yes... and then update-grub... but again, you want to get rid of sdb1 first if that is your intent.
[22:17] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, You started with a gpt problem, that is now fixed. If you have a good install on sdc and grub loaded there and first in the bios to be read you should be set. So yes if you transfer the sdb ubuntu to sdc and there is only on e install and it is good your okay then.
[22:17] <bretolius> dark: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/202677/nvidia-driver-doesnt-work-in-12-10
[22:17] <toastcfh> it works with other archivers
[22:17] <toastcfh> ;/
[22:17] <mdpai> L3top: wilee-nilee Ok noted. Thanks.
[22:17] <bretolius> dark: basically you need sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[22:17] <dark> what's that
[22:18] <wilee-nilee> mdpai,  Grub will pickup the windows install with a update-grub as well.
[22:18] <moorscode> could anybody give me a hand, I'm trying to fix my postfix-dovecot setup, but I can't seem to receive any mails on my virtual domains..
[22:18] <bretolius> dark, im not sure, but the drivers need it
[22:18] <dark> lol
[22:18] <L3top> dark uname -r
[22:18] <budtaz> hi ubuntu  ...where i can find HDR for gimp 2.8.2 ?
[22:18] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: Yup
[22:18] <bretolius> also, I found all sorts of problems with all nvidia drivers except The experimental ones
[22:18] <dark> sorry i'm absolutely new to this first time using ubuntu at all
[22:18] <L3top> !info linux-headers-generic
[22:18] <toastcfh> dark headers for the kernel so u can compile the moodle for nvidia against the kernel
[22:19] <bretolius> dark, follow those instructions, and install the epxerimental drivers
[22:19] <L3top> dark... I just want you to type  uname -r    in a terminal.
[22:19] <bretolius> dark: thats what worked best for me
[22:19] <L3top> dark: and drop it back to me. I would not follow that advice until we know what kernel you are on.
[22:19] <wilee-nilee> dark, Be sure to use nicks on the channel you can auto complete them with tab, this makes things much easier. ;)]
[22:19] <toastcfh> anyone got any ideas about Archive manager?
[22:19] <bretolius> Anyone recomend a some good, lightwheight, unity compatable system monitors for  the toolbar?
[22:20] <dark> 3.5.0-17-generic
[22:20] <dtigue> Man, I've used some version of Linux since 1998. I've used Ubuntu at the office since 2005. Never have I had more trouble installing a package than I have today while trying to install Plex Media Center through the Ubuntu Software Center
[22:20] <L3top> !info conky | bretolius
[22:21] <bretolius> Anyone recomend a some good, lightwheight, unity compatable system monitors for  the toolbar?
[22:21] <toastcfh> dark, did u try just going to settings > additional drivers and just enabling the nvidia driver?
[22:21] <bretolius> woops
[22:21] <bretolius> did not mean to repost that
[22:21] <dtigue> Ubuntu's Software Center seems to have gotten worse with each consecutive version release, almost to the point where I can't recommend Ubuntu to my friends and family anymore
[22:21] <L3top> worse in what respect dtigue?
[22:21] <dark> i did but unity doesn't show
[22:21] <bretolius> L3top: I am aware of conky, but can you get it to live up next to your sound volume and network status buttons?
[22:22] <L3top> dark: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[22:22] <toastcfh> does it when u hit the super button?
[22:22] <toastcfh> dark, ?
[22:22] <dtigue> L3top: some don't install when I click install, its as slow as christmas, and the interface is more cluttered with each release it seems
[22:22] <toastcfh> auto hide was jacked up for me after upgrade
[22:22] <KM0201> dtigue: so if you donj't like it (i dont either) just keep using synaptic
[22:22] <bretolius> dark: if unity is not showng, open up a terminal (ctl-alt-t I think) start the software center, and change back to the open source driver till you get the headers installed
[22:23] <bretolius> the same thing happened to me
[22:23] <L3top> dtigue: if something doesn't install when you click it, then something is wonky with dpkg... or you have added bad source repos which cause a dependency problem.
[22:23] <dtigue> KM0201: i've never really used Synaptic either, i prefer apt-get....
[22:23] <bretolius> this is like a pretty massive bug I can't belive cononical released it like this
[22:24] <KM0201> dtigue: then if ou prefer apt-get, wjhy are you crying about usc?
[22:24] <mdpai> L3top: wilee-nilee One last question. Where grub installed is not important as long as I boot into that drive first. Correct?
[22:24] <dtigue> L3top: this is on a fresh install with updates, so nothing should be wrong with dpkg and there is no extra repos
[22:24] <dark> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti] [10de:1244] (rev a1)
[22:24] <dark> 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF116 [GeForce GTX 550 Ti] [10de:1244] (rev a1)
[22:24] <dtigue> KM0201: i have a lot of family that uses ubuntu, and I'm their go to guy when something doesn't work
[22:24] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, When you say grub installed are you meaning the OS, or the mbr?
[22:25] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: mbr
[22:25] <KM0201> dtigue: i can relate, as i'm in the same boat.. but again, show them how to use synaptic.
[22:25] <dtigue> KM0201: i was only testing out 12.10, so i would know whether to recommend the upgrade or to tell them to just stay with 12.04 LTS
[22:25] <KM0201> or apt-get
[22:25] <L3top> dtigue: whether or not it is a new install... dpkg can break. In a terminal type sudo dpkg --configure -a     just to be sure.
[22:26] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, I doubt the sdc will boot ubuntu unless the copy from sdb was indenticasl to whatever the mbr grub is set at, I suspect you will have to reload the mbr.  There is also a tool called supergrub that will boot you into a non booting OS.
[22:26] <dtigue> L3top: yea i've done that already, nothing works, i'm no where close to being a noob, i just needed to vent a bit about USC not working correctly
[22:26] <L3top> dark: that one is a pain... it is new... but I would not expect you to have problems finding the additional drivers... apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep -i installed
[22:27] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: I re-install grub on sdc. So it should boot right?
[22:27] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, I use supergrub myself and reload the mbr from the desktop when needed, rather then a chroot.
[22:27] <dtigue> KM0201: yea i guess i'll be teaching my dad and mom how to use synaptic, the problem is synaptic doesn't hold anything back and i;m afraid he will just start installing random junk that he doesn't need
[22:27] <wilee-nilee> mdpai, should.
[22:27] <mdpai> wilee-nilee: Ok thanks. Time to reboot and see what happens :)
[22:27] <L3top> dtigue: this is a support room, not therapy. If you have a support question I will try and answer it... but the problems you describe are uncommon... and indicate something else at their root.
[22:27] <Linkandzelda> could somone help me with tightvnc?
[22:27] <cap10morgan> on a new 12.04 install, when apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk, the /usr/lib/jvm/default-java symlink is no longer created (even after update-java-alternatives -s java-1.6.0-openjdk-i386). is that expected behavior?
[22:28] <KM0201> dtigue: i'd agree w/ L3top, you have issues.  why are you concerned about him installing things he "doesn't need"
[22:28] <dark> Installed: (none)
[22:28] <dtigue> L3top: lol, yea well i need therapy
[22:28] <KM0201> !vnc | Linkandzelda check here
[22:29] <L3top> dark:  just try installing it.    sudo apt-get install nvidia-current        then log out and back in... see if that is better. Do you have another PC to talk here on in case there is an unexpected result?
[22:30] <dark> i can try on my fiance's windows pc
[22:30] <Linkandzelda> KM0201: thanks, but my problem isnt listed there. I have tightvnc server opening on boot but, after installing eclipse tightvnc fails to find its default fonts directory and cannot open ;-;
[22:30] <dtigue> KM0201: L3top: i'm just testing 12.10, i just wanted to see how well it worked for the common 60 yr. old that knows nothing other than what i've showed him and he has learned on his own, i'll continue to look in to the problem, but when I click 'Buy' on Plex Media Server, i expect it to install from a fresh install and not just sit there and not do anything
[22:30] <dtigue> I'll figure it out,
[22:30] <PatrickDickey> L3top, how do you know which cards are supported under nvidia-current? I don't want to recommend it to people and find out that it doesn't work with their cards.
[22:31] <L3top> PatrickDickey: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/304.37/README/supportedchips.html
[22:31] <L3top> but I deal with them so much I just know most pciids off the top of my head.
[22:32] <dtigue> L3top: KM0201 other than the USC, issue I've had 12.10 seems to be running smoothly though, is there any big performance boosts in this version over the LTS ?
[22:32] <toastcfh> man down
[22:32] <toastcfh> is there any way to debug archive manager?
[22:33] <toastcfh> my shits busted and i cant figure out why
[22:33] <toastcfh> ;/
[22:33] <toastcfh> :(
[22:33] <toastcfh> :c
[22:33] <bretolius> whats wrong with it
[22:33] <toastcfh> wont let me add files to archives
[22:33] <bretolius> even if you make a new archive?
[22:33] <bretolius> or specific to one archive
[22:34] <toastcfh> yeah
[22:34] <toastcfh> to all
[22:34] <L3top> !enter
[22:34] <toastcfh> i can add some files to it
[22:34] <bretolius> you can add some files to it but you cant add files to an archive?
[22:34] <PatrickDickey> Thanks L3top. I'll bookmark that for future reference (plus for when I buy  a new card).
[22:35] <toastcfh> bretolius, i can add some files to it but some files i can. its like its randomly derping. i think it might be permissions related but it doesnt give me a good error
[22:35] <fairuz_> wilee-nilee: L3top: (I'm mdpai from just now)... /dev/sdc1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)   Thanks for the help!
[22:36] <Hemebond> Anyone know why Evolution shows Google contact birthdays as being one day later?
[22:36] <toastcfh> i just wanna debug it and see why
[22:36] <toastcfh> does it log somewhere?
[22:36] <bretolius> i dont know but debugging != logging
[22:37] <toastcfh> well logging would help me debug it
[22:37] <toastcfh> either way
[22:37] <toastcfh> ui error just says it fail. no reason why
[22:37] <David-A> Hemebond: daylight saving time/summer time confusion? (we change it at different weekends in europe and the usa)
[22:37] <L3top> toastcfh: you could watch syslog or maybe more likely dmesg
[22:38] <bretolius> yeah thats anoying.  see if there is a log somewhere in /var/log
[22:38] <toastcfh> dmesg didnt show anything
[22:38] <Hemebond> David-A: Our daylight savings isn't a day.
[22:38] <wilee-nilee> fairuz_, no problem. ;)
[22:38] <L3top> toastcfh: if you are trying to save an archive in a folder for which you do not have permission to write that could happen. You could open it from terminal with gksudo and probably at least determine if it is a permissions issue.
[22:39] <bretolius> toastcfh: or see the system log app
[22:39] <dark> did that no unity went back to the xorg n drives and unity is back
[22:39] <PatrickDickey> Hemebond: I think he means that since their Daylight Savings Time ended, and your computer is typically set to UTC (hardware), it might be causing problems.
[22:39] <bretolius> dark: now install those headers, and the experimental driver
[22:39] <David-A> Hemebond: isn't it? where do you live? :) I mean if it is rounding an exact time point to the second to be displayed as a date only, and round very simply, it can be wrong.
[22:40] <toastcfh> good call lemme try that
[22:40] <Hemebond> (sorry, really pissed off right now)
[22:40] <Hemebond> How do I check what Evolution is doing wrong?
[22:40] <L3top> dark: who are you talking to? And do not install experimental drivers unless you remove the native drivers first... did you install nvidia-current?
[22:41] <bretolius> Hemebond: did you miss a birthday by a day?
[22:41] <Hemebond> Yes.
[22:41] <bretolius> yikes
[22:41] <bretolius> goog.... evo... gahhhhrrrrrrrr
[22:42] <Hemebond> Google also seems to change birthday dates.
[22:42] <bretolius> Hemebond: do you sync google with anything else?  like a phone?
[22:42] <Hemebond> I went through all my contacts and fixed them, yet one contact now shows the bday two days earlier than it is.
[22:42] <Hemebond> Yes, iPhone.
[22:43] <bretolius> Hemebond: you might also want to check #evolution on irc.gimp.org
[22:43] <Hemebond> Will do.
[22:43] <Hemebond> Thanks.
[22:43] <David-A> Hemebond: is the clock in you computer right, and timezones?
[22:43] <wilee-nilee> and year
[22:43] <Hemebond> David-A: Yes, all fine there.
[22:44] <bretolius> Hemebond: I would be very suspicious of data changes/loss at any of your sycn points
[22:44] <bretolius> sync*
[22:45] <Hemebond> Hmm, THunderbird also shows the birthday as wrong.
[22:46] <lostandconfused> hi i installed 12.10 over 12.04 yesterday and everything was working great until I restarted and now it boots up and stalls at "*stopping system V runlevel capacity [done]   *starting [done] "
[22:47] <PatrickDickey> Hemebond: It's probably something with Google's Calendar then. If it's an evolution issue, you can probably get more support from their channel. You can join their IRC chanel #evolution on irc.gnome.org.
[22:48] <lostandconfused> does anyone know how I can diagnose and the issue?
[22:49] <toastcfh> ** (file-roller:13192): WARNING **: Error making symbolic link: File exists
[22:49] <const_antine> Hi, how does Ubuntu store DNS server list?
[22:49] <toastcfh> bretolius, error above
[22:49] <toastcfh> so its not permissions
[22:50] <alienaut> vlc player is buzzing for a short after i play the the video but it is getting annoying everytime i pause and play
[22:50] <const_antine> I want to create a custom DNS server for my lan
[22:51] <const_antine> what should I do to change Ubuntu network settings to include custom DNS server address?
[22:52] <blip-> hi all, I need to do some development with Ruby on Rails and MySQL under Linux.  Would ubuntu running within VBox under Windows 7 work well enough for that ?
[22:53] <toastcfh> yeah idk why im getting that error
[22:53] <toastcfh> odd ;/
[22:53] <PatrickDickey> const_antine: You can either add it's IP Address to the DNS Server list in Network-Manager, or add it manually to /etc/nameservers depending on how you configure your network. Personally, what I do is have my DNS server run my DHCP also (and turn that off at the router). That way it sends the information to all of the clients.
[22:53] <alienaut> blip-, i am developing rails application on ubuntu
[22:54] <toastcfh> it happens when i drag and drop a file that already exists into the archive manager
[22:54] <blip-> alienaut, ah great, the Ruby on Rails guys recommended I do it under Linux rather than Windows
[22:54] <PatrickDickey> const_antine: In Network-Manager, click on the interface, and then click Edit. The DNS Server list is under IPv4 addressing.
[22:54] <blip-> I've used Linux for years, just never as a virtual machine within Windows
[22:54] <toastcfh> it should just update/replace the file
[22:54] <alienaut> blip-, i suggest you double boot your computer
[22:54] <axisys> is there a tool to collect all the IPs that are hitting this host on a specific port ?
[22:54] <axisys> in next 1 hr
[22:54] <axisys> for example
[22:55] <gangnam-style> axisys: netstat
[22:55] <axisys> gangnam-style: nice nic :-)
[22:55] <const_antine> PatrickDickey, fascinating, is it a lot of work to make DHCP run DHCP?
[22:55] <alienaut> blip-, yes linux or mac is better if you want to develop rails apps
[22:55] <gangnam-style> axisys: thank you
[22:56] <PatrickDickey> const_antine: manually, possibly. I installed a server designed for it (Amahi Home Server), and I used webmin to configure everything.
[22:56] <axisys> gangnam-style: netstat inly shows when someone listening to that port .. as far as I know
[22:56] <axisys> gangnam-style: in this case no one is listening to that port
[22:56] <alienaut> blip-, here is a guide for you http://ryanbigg.com/2010/12/ubuntu-ruby-rvm-rails-and-you/
[22:56] <wrostek> Anyone know how to check transmission rate from a machine running hosted ?
[22:56] <wrostek> hostapd
[22:56] <gangnam-style> axisys: okey, what do you want ?
[22:57] <axisys> i want all the IPs that are hitting this server on port 8000 e.g
[22:57] <PatrickDickey> const_antine: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/dhcp3-server also http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html
[22:57] <axisys> but nothing is running on port 8000
[22:57] <wrostek> e.g. Im running hostapd, and I want to know what Rate i am running at ( 300mbs, 54 mbs or 600mbs ) How can I check this?
[22:57] <axisys> i can tcpdump to collect and then parse through
[22:58] <axisys> but would be nice if there is a tool like dnstop
[22:58] <Hemebond> Turns out I can't edit Google contact info from Evolution or Thunderbird. Anyone got recommendations on replacements? I'm sick of moving back and forth between the two of them.
[22:58] <axisys> dnstop gives all the IPs that are hitting on port 53
[22:58] <blip-> alienaut, thanks.  I was planning to use Xampp to get the whole LAMP stack what do you think ?
[22:58] <const_antine> PatrickDickey, thank you! Although it looks like /etc/nameservers is absent on my computer. Perhaps you meant /etc/resolv.conf
[22:58] <phy1729> `/wc
[22:59] <PatrickDickey> const_antine: Yep. That's probably what I meant. I've only been awake for about 30 minutes. ;-) more or less.
[22:59] <orogor> hi
[23:00] <orogor> anyone knows where the desktop effect thingy has gone ?
[23:00] <PatrickDickey> axisys, why would anyone be trying to hit that port, if nothing's running on it? Or do you mean running a portscan on your network?
[23:00] <Kruko> hi, ubuntu one crashes when i try to install it on 12.04 LTS
[23:01] <lolcat> I need ia32-libs, but it whines about dependencies
[23:02] <axisys> PatrickDickey: there was splunk running on that port on that IP
[23:03] <axisys> PatrickDickey: so clients are still sending data
[23:03] <alienaut> blip-, will you install xampp on ubuntu?
[23:03] <alienaut> or windows
[23:03] <PatrickDickey> axisys: ifstat, iftop, iftraf, darkstat (if it's still available), wireshark if you want to sit and watch it.
[23:03] <dark> l3top back
[23:03] <axisys> PatrickDickey: but I want to reconfig the clients to match some changes we are making on new splunk server
[23:04] <blip-> alienaut, on ubuntu
[23:04] <axisys> PatrickDickey: iftop is pretty good
[23:04] <axisys> PatrickDickey: thanks
[23:05] <alienaut> blip- i think this is a better way https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[23:07] <PatrickDickey> axisys: no problem.
[23:08] <PatrickDickey> Hemebond, are you in the evolution channel also? I see a "hemebond" in there. If so, have they been able to help you at all?
[23:09] <dark> l3top u still here
[23:10] <Hemebond> PatrickDickey: That is me. No answer yet.
[23:10] <lappy_lubuntu> Hello everyone!  Is this a good place to ask for help if I'm having problems with ubuntu?
[23:10]  * PatrickDickey ping L3top just in case it didn't happen when dark called him.
[23:10] <lolcat> How can I run 32 bit packages without ia32-libs? :/
[23:10] <Hemebond> Also asking in the Thunderbird channel since that also shows the same problem.
[23:10] <L3top> sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[23:11] <PatrickDickey> Hemebond: just wanted to make sure. I wasn't sure if you got the right server name (since we gave you two of them earlier).
[23:11] <Hemebond> I'm really looking forward to Geary being completed.
[23:11] <L3top> dark ^
[23:11] <Hemebond> I really want to ditch Evolution and Thunderbird.
[23:11] <alienaut> guys any idea when steam realese for linux?
[23:11] <PatrickDickey> Hemebond: Have you actually gone to the Google Calendar website and checked to make sure the contacts aren't messed up there?
[23:12] <Hemebond> PatrickDickey: The dates are correct in the Google contacts.
[23:12] <lappy_lubuntu> When I try to mount my windows partition I get an error message saying "Error mounting /dev/sda2 at /media/lubuntu/Windows7_OS: Command-line `mount -t "ntfs" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=999,gid=999,dmask=0077,fmask=0177" "/dev/sda2" "/media/lubuntu/Windows7_OS"' exited with non-zero exit status 12: Failed to read last sector<PHONE_NUMBER>): Invalid argument"

[23:13] <PatrickDickey> Hemebond: but are they right in Google Calendar? I'd imagine that Evolution and Thunderbird are getting their information from there (assuming, yes I know.... that you're using that also).
[23:14] <Hemebond> PatrickDickey: There is no proper birthday calendar in Google calendar. I just removed a third-party calendar that showed them, and it showed the correct dates.

[23:28] <Hemebond> PatrickDickey: I've got it installed.
[23:28] <Hemebond> The only thing it doesn't yet do is support multiple Google accounts.
[23:28] <Hemebond> Which I need.
[23:29] <PatrickDickey> Ahhhh. Gottcha. I wonder if they've got that on the roadmap then Hemebond
[23:29] <Hemebond> It is on their roadmap I believe.
[23:29] <Hemebond> Hmm. I should check out their calendar app.
[23:29] <Red_M> hey guys i got a sick server here that cant resolve DNS
[23:30] <derpsauce> Hello! I'm new to Ubuntu, and re-read this article from a while ago (www.catb.org/esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html) and I'm trying to get Python 3.30. Which package should I get? Here are my options: http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.0/
[23:30] <purvesh> I had booted from my usb bootable ubuntu 12.04 & 12.10 and copy & pasted some data to my laptop's windows drive, but when i rebooted to windows that content is not showing (or deleted automatically) even i had tried booting from both version.
[23:30] <almigi> Has anyone sorted out why installing virtualbox from the software center in 12.10 doesn't work?  Every time I try to launch a virtual machine I get an error telling me to run a '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' only to get an error that the command can't be found.
[23:31] <Red_M> i try to use a DNS name when ssh'ing and it gives me "ssh: Could not resolve hostname <removed>: Temporary failure in name resolution"
[23:31] <Red_M> any ideas?
[23:31] <Red_M> it can wait but its annoying me
[23:31] <almigi> my guess is that it's the same issue that's affecting the display drivers (missing linux-headers or something). Just wondering if anyone else was able to confirm that.
[23:31] <derpsauce> No idea, man. Sorry
[23:32] <Red_M> sigh
[23:32] <balduin> Red_M in Ubuntu 12.04 Python 2.7 is standart
[23:32] <derpsauce> I don't know how any of that stuff works, anyways.
[23:32] <not_unoriginal> hey all, I tried using that windows installer app dealy
[23:32] <Red_M> balduin: ...?
[23:32] <derpsauce> balduin: Python is my question.
[23:32] <almigi> Red_M: so, basically ssh works with the ip address but not the DNS address?
[23:32] <Red_M> yes
[23:32] <balduin> but you can install Python 3.2 in Ubuntu 12.04 over synaptic
[23:32] <not_unoriginal> upon reboot there is an MBR error
[23:32] <almigi> Red_M: and I'm guessing regular address work everywhere else?
[23:32] <Red_M> yeah
[23:33] <derpsauce> balduin: Should I get 3.30? Or is 2.7 fine? Sorry,  I'm new.
[23:33] <Red_M> almigi: im using an ssh tunnel on it and hostnames resolve fine
[23:33] <Red_M> but ssh doesnt
[23:33] <Red_M> and i havent -- oh no one is in the office yet
[23:33] <Red_M> shiiiieeeeeetttt
[23:33] <balduin> Red_M sorry
[23:33] <not_unoriginal> so anyway I am wondering how do I get rid of the faulty install?
[23:33] <almigi> Red_M: is it possible the problem is with the host itself? have you tried pinging it just to see if it's up?
[23:33] <PatrickDickey> derpsauce: You can use either one. I currently use 2.7.3, and python3 is available through the repositories. I'm not sure if it's 3.3.0 or not though.
[23:33] <Red_M> almigi: im connected to it right now
[23:33] <top> does anyone know $COMP_WORDS environment variable?
[23:34] <Red_M> everything is up and fine but DNS on this server doesnt work
[23:34] <Red_M> so both servers are up
[23:34] <balduin> derpsausce: If you new in Python learn python 3 it doesn't matter what exact version of Python 3 you use
[23:34] <Red_M> and accept ssh conns
[23:34] <top> why I can't find the environement variable in my ubuntu system?
[23:34] <derpsauce> PatrickDickey: I'm looking at this page here (http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.0/) but I don't know which package to use.
[23:34] <jrib> top: what do you mean?
[23:35] <balduin> derpsauce: are you familiar with apt-get or synaptic or something
[23:35] <keglevich> hello all... is someone maybe familir with SIEVE or MANAGESIEVE in conjunction with DOVECOT?   What are you trying to accomplish
[23:35] <top> I can't find the environment variable:$COMP_WORDS
[23:36] <PatrickDickey> derpsauce: in a terminal, type sudo apt-get install python3 It will install the version that's already available through Ubuntu. No compiling needed.
[23:36] <pepee> top, what are you trying to do?
[23:36] <derpsauce> balduin: I have used the terminal a bit, mostly learning Bash Shell Scripting. I don't know the exact parameters of apt-get but I get the gist of what it does.
[23:36] <derpsauce> PatrickDickey: Thanks!
[23:36] <Red_M> almigi: i tried nslookup on the faulty DNS box and i get ";; connection timed out; no servers could be reached"
[23:36] <PatrickDickey> No problem derpsauce.
[23:36] <top> I just look it in a programme,it use this environment variable.
[23:36] <top> pepee: I just look it in a programme,it use this environment variable.
[23:37] <pepee> top, try setting it?
 you know how to install new programms or packages on Ubuntu or?
[23:37] <top> pepee: OK
[23:37] <almigi> Red_M: I wish I could find an answer for you... I found some similar reports of things like this in launchpad, but I can't find a good workaround... is this a host on a local network that's not resolving?
[23:37] <jrib> top: you should really say what it is you are actually trying to accomplish.  Maybe you can read about COMP_CWORD in « man bash »?
[23:37] <derpsauce> balduin: PatrickDickey just helped my out, but I think I can manage with other stuff as well. Thanks though!
[23:37] <pepee> top, if you give us more info, we can help you
[23:37] <Red_M> almigi: no the internet
[23:37] <Red_M> infact nothing resolves
[23:38] <Red_M> not even google
 yes i see thats all
[23:38] <almigi> Red_M: but things resolve if you were to use "ping" or "finger" , right?
[23:38] <Red_M> no
[23:38] <top> pepee: I can find the $COMP_WORDS and the $COMP_CWORD variable
[23:38] <Red_M> i get "unkonwn host"
[23:38] <top> pepee: I find it in the bash man pape.
[23:38] <almigi> Red_M: but Firefox (or whatever browser) works, right?
[23:39] <Red_M> *unknown
[23:39] <Red_M> almigi: my broswer via the ssh tunnel works fine
 later you have to say in terminal python3 to run an interactiv python 3.2 shell or python3 file.py to run the interpreter!
[23:39] <pepee> top, as jrib said, there is some info about COMP_CWORD in the bash manpage
[23:39] <top> pepee: but I can't find the info about $comprerly?
[23:40] <PatrickDickey> top to find the environment variables on your system, you can either type echo $GLOBAL or printenv in a terminal.
[23:40] <pepee> top, again, give us more info about what are you trying to do, or just find a tutorial about it
[23:41] <almigi> Red_M: so the browser is being ran on the remote machine then... the problem is nothing on the local machine resolves (I hope I'm understanding this correctly)?
[23:41] <Red_M> alienaut: infact i cant even ssh to my other server via the ssh tunnel with DNS forced on to look up at the tunnel end
[23:41] <Red_M> alienaut: yes... the server i have via a ssh tunnel and terminal does not reslove names
[23:41] <Red_M> shit
[23:42] <top> pepee: I want to find some info about $COMPREPLY.it is about to give completion suggestions for BASH.
[23:42] <Red_M> almigi: ^
[23:42] <pepee> top, try asking in #bash
[23:42] <PatrickDickey> top http://books.google.com/books?id=Qu6H8fnAvGoC&pg=PA394&lpg=PA394&dq=$compreply&source=bl&ots=ChiP7itG00&sig=UFgySYUyDe9a_gztFliqbq7WTmo&hl=en&sa=X&ei=OhSPUKX_H6qK2QXUs4DQBQ&ved=0CDsQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=%24compreply&f=false
[23:43] <top> PatrickDickey: thanks a lot.
[23:43] <PatrickDickey> top no problem. As pepee mentioned, you're better off asking these questions in #bash.
[23:43] <top> PatrickDickey: OK.
[23:44] <almigi> Red_M: I never had that issue myself, but I found this... I suppose it's worth a shot (unless you already tried it): http://askubuntu.com/questions/142327/can-not-access-internet-dns-names-do-not-resolve-after-update-today
[23:44] <keglevich> hello all... is someone maybe familir with SIEVE or MANAGESIEVE in conjunction with DOVECOT? I can't get it working
[23:47] <PatrickDickey> keglevich: You could ask in #dovecot
[23:50] <Red_M> almigi: fixed it
[23:51] <Red_M> found out the .etc.resolv.conf was empty
[23:51] <Red_M> */etc/reslov.conf
[23:51] <Red_M> so i just added some name servers
[23:51] <Red_M> anyway thanks
[23:51] <Derxst> hello everyone
[23:55] <sepoki> Hi, how can i get the current directory name, not the path only the folder name
[23:56] <trism> sepoki: basename $(pwd); ?
[23:57] <sepoki> Thank you
[23:59] <David-A> sepoki: better with quotes: basename "$(pwd)"   - or alternatively: basename "$PWD"
[23:59] <trism> excellent point
