[07:14] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, If memory serves, that would actually do a "Wubi Install" of Ubuntu to your flash drive. It sounds like you want plain old "bootable Ubuntu on a flash drive," right?
[07:14] <seednode_> otahak: As I said, I'm not sure there's an exact replacement
[07:14] <otahak> sudo apt-get install indicator-appmenu ?
[07:14] <Muphrid> otahak: remove, but if you want the old style back, gnome-panel (fallback) would be your easiest option
[07:14] <pablo_> trying linux live usb creator
[07:14] <jason32423> does anyone have any opinions on the importance of TRIM on a ubuntu ssd ?
[07:14] <otahak> well, here's the end result I desire - I want a button in my global menu that lets me access my applications in the same style ubuntu 10 did
[07:15] <Muphrid> otahak: then install gnome-panel
[07:15] <Muphrid> and select "gnome fallback" from the login screen
[07:15] <otahak> thank you!
[07:15] <pablo_> how much space do you need to allocate to "persistence"
[07:15] <otahak> sorry for not using proper nomenclature
[07:15] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, Is that the program here? http://www.linuxliveusb.com/
[07:15] <pablo_> yes Forspareparts
[07:16] <Muphrid> otahak: note that it is not functionally the same as gnome 2, it is a fallback.
[07:16] <Muphrid> but it resembles the looks of gnome 2
[07:16] <otahak> good enough! lol
[07:16] <arvut> pablo_: unetbooting is probably better, available for windows and linux (maybe even for mac)
[07:16] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, I've never used that particular program, but the website talks a lot about making virtualized Linux installations, which isn't what you want.
[07:16] <pablo_> unetbootin had no option to install the OS as a usable bootable though
[07:16] <pablo_> it made it an installer
[07:16] <pablo_> though when i booted from it it had an option to "try ubuntu without installing"
[07:16] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, arvut is right -- the "installer" it makes *is* a bootable Ubuntu.
[07:17] <ForSpareParts> Yep. Just pick that option and you're good to go.
[07:17] <arvut> a live usb, yes. you can still run ubuntu from it, with the speedlimits of usb
[07:17] <pablo_> yea but its kind of annoying having to go through 1 menu and pick that option
[07:17] <pablo_> i just want something that straight away boots ubuntu
[07:17] <pablo_> so im trying this LinuxLive cd
[07:17] <ForSpareParts> You can just let it go through that menu.
[07:17] <ForSpareParts> The default is to launch Ubuntu, IIRC.
[07:17] <pablo_> oh mine just stopped at that menu
[07:17] <pablo_> anyway no harm in using LInux Live cd right?
[07:17] <ForSpareParts> Oh. I could be wrong.
[07:18] <Brofie> You are
[07:18] <ForSpareParts> Yeah, no harm -- just make sure you're creating a live usb rather than a virtualization.
[07:18] <ddfgt> #ubuntu-dev
[07:18] <pablo_> yeah
[07:18] <ForSpareParts> Brofie, OK. Sorry.
[07:18] <arvut> right, then you can choose a usb as install destination and do it via normal install. or is there a problem in that?
[07:18] <pablo_> its installing to USB now
[07:18] <pablo_> i maxed the persistence space at 4gb
[07:18] <Brofie> ForSpareParts: you're not forgiven, but thanks anyway
[07:18] <pablo_> what is persistence?
[07:18] <seel> hey, I'm having so much trouble getting wine installed...
[07:18] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, I mention that because the website says a lot about virtualized installs.
[07:19] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, Persistence is the amount of space dedicated to keeping your files between startups.
[07:19] <Muphrid> pablo_: Having a Live USB key is better than just using a Live CD because you  can even save your data and install software. This feature is called  persistence (available only on selected Linux).
[07:19] <Muphrid> pablo_: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/help/faq/persistence
[07:19] <pablo_> Muphrid sorry i meant create LIVe USB. i am creating a live usb
[07:19] <seel> I'm running ubuntu 12.10 and it keeps telling me I have broken or missing dependencies, which I posted about in the forums and so far, what was suggested hasn't worked
[07:19] <arvut> interesting that ppl make those .exe installers for a whole systeminstall, makes little sense to me.
[07:20] <Brofie> I just wanna be friends with everyone in here
[07:20] <Brofie> is that so much to ask for?
[07:20] <Muphrid> pablo_: you asked about persistence, I gave you information on that subject
[07:20] <pablo_> thanks pal
[07:21] <arvut> Muphrid: he wants a complete ubuntu install, non-live version. on a usb stick. bootable usb more or less. I've considered making a bootable gentoo usb system that I can use on other pc's than my own as well.
[07:21] <pablo_> what arvut said
[07:21] <Muphrid> arvut: I had this idea before, but didnt try it, not sure how it would work
[07:22] <arvut> pablo_: its an interesting concept, but if you're new to ubuntu or linux in general, it might get really tricky. don't give up tho :)
[07:22] <Muphrid> and to install gentoo on it you will need a really big one
[07:22] <pablo_> yeah
[07:22] <Brofie> I'mm baaaack
[07:22] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, What LiLi creates would presumably work for that. Fair warning: it'll probably be slow.
[07:22] <Brofie> guess who's back
[07:22] <Brofie> back again
[07:22] <Brofie> shady's back
[07:22] <Brofie> back again
[07:22] <FloodBot1> Brofie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:23] <pablo_> as slow as any other ubuntu on USB right forspareparts???? or no?
[07:23] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, Yeah, that's what I meant.
[07:23] <pablo_> gotcha!
[07:23] <pablo_> its just to test ubuntu 12.10
[07:23] <pablo_> if i like it. il install partition
[07:23] <ForSpareParts> Cool.
[07:23] <arvut> Brofie: please go to a offtopic chat instead, this is ubuntu support. I recommend ubuntu-offtopic or gentoo-chat
[07:23] <seel> would it be helpful to paste a link to the forum poast so someone may help me further?
[07:24] <ForSpareParts> Wubi's a pretty decent way to try Ubuntu, as well, if you don't need to be able to take it between computers.
[07:24] <ForSpareParts> Less performance/storage problems.
[07:24] <arvut> IdleOne: banned him?
[07:25] <ddfgt> there is someone expert here?
[07:26] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, (tagging you, just in case you didn't see the last couple things I said)
[07:26] <arvut> pablo_: you can add the usb drive to your bootmenu in bios if you want it to be a regular bootable OS
[07:26] <pablo_> nah i caught it
[07:26] <pablo_> i probably should have done wubi
[07:26] <pablo_> ive used wubi before
[07:27] <arvut> ddfgt: if you need help, just ask your question. plenty of skilled people in here.
[07:27] <Tiklu> I installed ati driver in my ubuntu box
[07:27] <Tiklu> the driver is detected properly
[07:27] <Tiklu> xorg.conf is also configured
[07:28] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, OK, cool. Wasn't sure exactly how new you were, wanted to cover all bases.
[07:28] <Tiklu> but still ubutu is saying experience : standard
[07:28] <Tiklu> I even installed the VA things
[07:28] <Tiklu> got the instructions from her
[07:28] <Tiklu> her
[07:28] <Tiklu> here
[07:28] <Tiklu> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[07:28] <FloodBot1> Tiklu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:29] <Tiklu> ok :)
[07:29] <Tiklu> sorry
[07:29] <skooks> LiveCD and installation loading isn't supposed to take very long from a CD, right?
[07:29] <cfhowlett> skooks: compared to what?
[07:29] <pablo_> yeah no problems
[07:29] <skooks> 10 minutes long.
[07:30] <pablo_> my linux live key is ready! time to test
[07:30] <skooks> I tried using the Live CD and straight up installing it and it hangs on the loading screen.
[07:30] <ForSpareParts> pablo_, Woo! Good luck!
[07:30] <pablo_> thanks people
[07:30] <tekkbuzz> Flynsarmy: you find it yet? smartctl has an apm arg. if you look in the man page. It's something like: smartctl -c /dev/sde -g apm<number-between-1-254>
[07:30] <pablo_> its booting fine
[07:31] <pablo_> btw do i need to download drivers?
[07:31] <pablo_> or what
[07:31] <skooks> Seriously though, how long should live CD booting or installation booting take on a decent laptop?
[07:31] <pablo_> takes a while i guess
[07:32] <skooks> What's a while
[07:32] <skooks> ?
[07:32] <pablo_> lol dont know
[07:32] <pablo_> wahtever youre expericing ;)
[07:32] <pablo_> cool im in ubuntu 12.10 from usb
[07:32] <skooks> I have a dual core AMD processor with 4 gigs of ram and some HD Radeon 4000 series chipset and for some reason I cannot even boot into the Live CD or into the installation process.
[07:32] <pablo_> USB Ethernet dongle works
[07:33] <skooks> I waited a good 15 minutes.
[07:33] <pablo_> brightness control doesnt lol
[07:34] <pablo_> says instlal 13.04 kernel https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbookPrime
[07:34] <Muphrid> skooks: that is the standard for all usable hardware
[07:34] <pablo_> is there an easy way to do that?
[07:34] <Muphrid> (the installation)
[07:34] <skooks> Muphrid, so I should just let it sit for an hour until it boots into the Live CD mode or installation candidate?
[07:35] <skooks> I cannot remember it always taking that long.
[07:35] <skooks> I remember waiting 5 minutes max on my desktop.
[07:35] <Muphrid> skooks: do you mean it takes 15 min to boot or to install?
[07:35] <skooks> It just hangs there.
[07:35] <skooks> On the loading screen.
[07:35] <skooks> I've waited 15 minutes and it just hangs there continuously.
[07:35] <Muphrid> Ok, 12.10?
[07:35] <skooks> 12.04.
[07:36] <Muphrid> then that is weird, do you see the plymouth screne? can you ctrl+alt+f1 while hanging to see the output?
[07:36] <skooks> Plymouth screen?
[07:36] <Muphrid> yes
[07:37] <skooks> What is that exactly?
[07:37] <Muphrid> skooks: the ubuntu purple boot screen where you see the logo and 5 dots acting as a progress bar
[07:38] <pablo_> stackoverflow is awesome. http://askubuntu.com/questions/202630/cant-mount-any-partition-acl-error
[07:38] <skooks> I can get to the plymouth screen with the dot progress bar.
[07:38] <skooks> And it just hangs on the bars loading forever.
[07:38] <skooks> on the dots*
[07:39] <Muphrid> skooks: try to press ctrl+alt+f1 in that screen and it should show a console
[07:39] <Muphrid> with boot messages
[07:39] <Fonsie> can anybody give me the readers digest version of what wubi is?
[07:39] <Fonsie> and how it works?
[07:39] <IdleOne> !wubi
[07:39] <skooks> I'll try that and come back if I get no results.
[07:40] <Haematoma> Is there anyway to leave x11 tunnelled applications active after an SSH connection has been terminated?
[07:40] <Fonsie> can i use wubi to install lubuntu without getting rid of windows (duel boot)
[07:41] <Savage_CL> anybody around?
[07:41] <b3nj> help me, no sound in firefox
[07:42] <Savage_CL> using pulse audio?
[07:42] <b3nj> Savage_CL: how do i know?
[07:42] <hapster> any news with nouveau working with Optimus laptops for 13.04?
[07:43] <Savage_CL> b3nj, what version of ubuntu?
[07:43] <b3nj> Savage_CL: 12.10
[07:43] <Savage_CL> if you hit the super key and type in pulse, does pulse audio come up?
[07:43] <b3nj> Savage_CL: pusleaudio volume control
[07:44] <Savage_CL> open that up
[07:44] <Savage_CL> go to applications
[07:44] <Savage_CL> see if FF is in there.
[07:44] <Savage_CL> anybody know much about networking in ubuntu?
[07:44] <b3nj> Savage_CL: where is "applications"
[07:45] <Savage_CL> should be a tab in the volume control
[07:45] <Savage_CL> err sorry
[07:45] <Savage_CL> the playback tab
[07:45] <b3nj> Savage_CL: Show: Applications?
[07:45] <Savage_CL> yea
[07:45] <Savage_CL> does FF show up?
[07:47] <b3nj> Savage_CL: i am playing a video now and in playback i see bar going left/right
[07:47] <Savage_CL> http://shared.jarmstrong.me/images/Selection_032.png
[07:47] <Savage_CL> That's about what it should look like with something playing.
[07:47] <b3nj> Savage_CL: yeah, it shows that something is playing
[07:47] <Savage_CL> Then the problem is not with firefox.
[07:47] <Savage_CL> check to make sure it's going to the right adapter (in your output devices)
[07:47] <speedy> good morning ! is this the ubuntu help channel
[07:48] <Savage_CL> It is!
[07:48] <Savage_CL> what is you need help with?
[07:48] <speedy> :-)
[07:48] <b3nj> Savage_CL: it is only firefox problem, chrome plays sound well
[07:48] <Savage_CL> Go to your Output Devices tab
[07:48] <Savage_CL> does it show anything playing?
[07:48] <speedy> i would need some help with nvidia GTX 560 TI from EVGA
[07:49] <b3nj> Savage_CL: something is playing there too
[07:49] <Savage_CL> the generic nvidia drivers seem to work well, speedy.
[07:49] <Savage_CL> or rather, the open souce versions.
[07:49] <Savage_CL> b3nj, would it happen to be the firefox stuffs?
[07:49] <b3nj> Savage_CL: yeah, it is a youtube video playing in firefox
[07:49] <SadlyMistaken> Hello everybody. I've a problem with microphone in ubuntu. Whatever program i use to record with the webcam, allways the audio is bad. 6 or 7 seconds later. what can i do?
[07:50] <speedy> my problem is from boot on! after i select boot option i enter in some kind of blue screen thats all
[07:50] <Savage_CL> I'm not sure, speedy. I've not had that problem.
[07:50] <Savage_CL> b3nj, so pulse is showing that the audio is getting to the output device?
[07:50] <b3nj> Savage_CL: yes
[07:50] <Fonsie> can i use wubi to install lubuntu without removing windows (duel boot)
[07:51] <Savage_CL> is it the *correct* audio device?
[07:51] <Savage_CL> fonsie, I would guess so.
[07:51] <SadlyMistaken> Fonsie first you must to create the partition of the hd
[07:51] <Savage_CL> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1808613 <-- fonsie

[07:52] <SadlyMistaken> please.
[07:52] <timgrin> I am having issues installing Ubuntu on a HP Sleekbook 14 with Windows 8 - model is here http://www.harveynorman.co.nz/hp-pavilion-14-b013au-laptop.html
[07:52] <Fonsie> i have been doing it from usb drive and have been having problems with it booting after installation
[07:52] <b3nj> Savage_CL: HDMI/DisplayPort 4
[07:52] <Savage_CL> so is it getting to your TV?
[07:52] <b3nj> Savage_CL: i do not have a tv
[07:52] <JohnTeddy> How can I find out every package on my system that isn't part of the stock ubunt quantal distribution?
[07:52] <Savage_CL> Is that the *right* audio device?
[07:53] <Savage_CL> it looks like it's sending the audio through HDMI (to your display)
[07:53] <speedy> 1 version of ubuntu started but only under the options try ubuntu after i add repo data for nvidia update server and did install from lattest grafik driver after reboot same blue screen ass on all versions i tryed befor
[07:53] <timgrin> not sure if problem is UEFI or the AMD system on the laptop
[07:53] <b3nj> Savage_CL: i do not have anything connected to hdmi
[07:53] <Savage_CL> well as you just told me, that's where it's going.
[07:54] <b3nj> Savage_CL: /dev/null
[07:54] <Savage_CL> :P
[07:54] <arvut> timgrin: I know that some devices that comes with win8 has uefi instead of bios, which sometimes locks the hardware to a certain OS. the must be ways around it tho.
[07:54] <dr_willis> there 'might' be ways around it
[07:55] <dr_willis> depending on the locks
[07:55] <b3nj> Savage_CL: when i play video in chrome in pulse settings it shows that something is playing in Built-in Audio Analog Stereo
[07:55] <Savage_CL> So it's going to the wrong audio device. now we're getting somewehre.
[07:55] <arvut> there is always a way. that way can be a very long and hard way tho. anything is possible.
[07:55] <Savage_CL> where*
[07:55] <timgrin> arvut: I have turned off UEFI in the bios (initially wanted dual boot but now happy with complete wipe and install just to get it installed) but the usb drive when plugged in goes to a flicking black screen with small wavy lines on it
[07:55] <dr_willis> ying a new pc from system76, then thats not really a way...
[07:56] <dr_willis> ;)
[07:56] <cfhowlett> !nomodeset|timgrin:
[07:56] <b3nj> Savage_CL: so how do i change the output device in firefox?
[07:56] <Savage_CL> b3nj... use http://thepb.in and give me the result of `aplay -l`
[07:56] <timgrin> ubottu: how do I boot from the disk drive into grub so I can set the kernel parameter
[07:57] <dr_willis> b3nj:  looked at the pavumixer and pavucontroll tools while stuff is playing yet?
[07:57] <b3nj> dr_willis: not yet
[07:57] <speedy> timgrin was this message for me sorry i am austrian and my english is not that good
[07:57] <b3nj> Savage_CL: i can just use aplay -l | pastebinit
[07:57] <arvut> timgrin: sorry, my experience with uefi and windows 8 devices is very limited. see if someone else here knows how to do it, else you have to figure it out on your own or search elsewhere. please keep us updated if you make any progress, posting about it on the ubuntu forums could potentially help thousands of ppl. =)
[07:57] <dr_willis> timgrin:  if you see grub menu hit e to alter boot options. hold shift if grub is hideing
[07:57] <Savage_CL> that's fine.
[07:58] <arvut> !uefi | arvut

[07:59] <arvut> right.. will use /msg ubottu in the future then :P
[07:59] <arvut> x0auser: morning, have a cup of ubuntu ;)
[08:00] <Savage_CL> hmmm... Is the analog device set as your default?
[08:01] <x0auser> Believe me, i have it full of coffee :)
[08:01] <b3nj> Savage_CL: how do i find out that?
[08:01] <jjason> hello all
[08:01] <helmut_> hi
[08:01] <b3nj> lol
[08:01] <jjason> anyone have any opions on ssd and trim?
[08:02] <Savage_CL> go into your audio settings and see if it's the default (the green checkmark)
[08:02] <b3nj> Savage_CL: so?
[08:03] <Savage_CL> is it the default?
[08:03] <timgrin> dr_willis: not sure grub is loading off the usb stick - when the stick is out it boots past the "post" screen and into windows - when stick is in it brings up "Press escape to enter setup" then goes into wavy lines - will try the SHIFT option
[08:03] <b3nj> Savage_CL: how do i find that out?
 go into your audio settings and see if it's the default (the green checkmark)
[08:04] <BlackDalek> HELP! I lost my sound device from the sound settings output device and can't get it to come back! It happened after I plugged in a device to the HDMI socket then unplugged it. Now my sound is broken and won't come back after a reboot
[08:04] <b3nj> Savage_CL: maybe sound settings?
[08:04] <cfhowlett> b3nj: pavucontrol
[08:04] <Savage_CL> yes....?
[08:05] <BlackDalek> no... it's not the default because it no longer exists in the list
[08:05] <BlackDalek> everything is GONE from output devices list
[08:06] <b3nj> Savage_CL: pavucontrol does not show any green checkmarks
[08:06] <TheCrownedFox> I seem to have a problem. I am trying to adjust the volume on my laptop through alsamixer, but for some reason it has picked some arbitrary number that I can't adjust the volume below. Is this a common problem?
[08:07] <b3nj> cfhowlett: hi
[08:07] <b3nj> cfhowlett: problem solved
[08:07] <aaas> my uid/gid of my user doesn't match up between client/server for nfs and I think this is causing some permission problems... how can I map uid/gid with a standard ubuntu nfs install?
[08:07] <b3nj> Savage_CL: problem solved
[08:07] <BlackDalek> b3nj, pavucontrol is not installed.
[08:07] <Savage_CL> oh?
[08:07] <b3nj> Sava
[08:07] <Savage_CL> What was the issue?
[08:08] <b3nj> Savage_CL: in Volume Control > Configuration i set GF108 High Definition Audio Controller off
[08:08] <cfhowlett> b3nj: quick : how?
[08:08] <timgrin> dr_willis: no cigar - it seems to start flicking immediately after the usb disk drive is powered up - I think it has problems loading grub (I have tried 12.04LTS 32 bit and 12.04LTS64bit usb drives)
[08:08] <cfhowlett> b3nj: it's always the simple little things ...
[08:08] <Savage_CL> There ya go >.<
[08:09] <jbarber> Hey!
[08:09] <b3nj> cfhowlett, Savage_CL, thanks
[08:11] <Haematoma> anyone know of a free service similar to dyndns?
[08:11] <Haematoma> I'm looking to have my SSH server frequently attach its registered ip address to a free domain name.
[08:11] <JohnTeddy> Is there a meta package that is the entire default ubuntu install for quantal?
[08:12] <JohnTeddy> So a meta package for all stock/default packages.
[08:14] <timgrin> anyones else know how to fix boot graphics problems where grub doesn't even load?
[08:15] <BlackDalek> this is what I see in my sound outpute devices now.. it USED to say something like "built-in audio" http://imagebin.org/241799
[08:18] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, What does your lspci output say? Does Ubuntu see your sound card?
[08:19] <gabkdlly> JohnTeddy, I believe ubuntu-desktop does that
[08:19] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, yes. 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04)
[08:19] <jbarber> Uh, I think you can use DNS Dynamic.
[08:19] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, or that might be the HDMI port...
[08:20] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, in which case... no, the audio device is gone
[08:20] <jbarber> That sucks.
[08:20] <skooks> Yeah, when I try to oot into Ubuntu's live cd or install I notice that it eventually gets to the point in console where it says, "Unable To Find A Medium Containing A Live File System"
[08:20] <skooks> Ugh.
[08:21] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, No it is definately your sound card
[08:21] <BlackDalek> ok
[08:22] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, now what is the output of aplay -l (lower case L), can you pastebin the result please?
[08:22] <Muphrid> skooks: my guess is something went wrong in the liveusb/cd copying then
[08:23] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1498954/
[08:23] <skooks> the CD itself or?
[08:23] <skooks> The*
[08:23] <Muphrid> is it a cd?
[08:23] <dctrd> Yeah
[08:23] <skooks> Yes.
[08:24] <Muphrid> the problem is in the boot medium, which is the cd
[08:24] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Ok, you have a sound card that is recognised by Ubuntu, now we just have to get it going :)
[08:25] <skooks> How do I verify that the CD is the problem?
[08:25] <skooks> I do believe there is a way.
[08:25] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, oh joy!
[08:28] <Muphrid> skooks: Um, not sure if md5 checking works in a cd
[08:29] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Ok now open a terminal and run alsamixer
[08:30] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, What I want you to do is check to make sure your sound card is selected properly
[08:30] <Muphrid> skooks: perhaps you can boot the cd in virtualbox
[08:31] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, alsamixer shows master, PCM and SPDIF as playback devices
[08:32] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Ok press F6 and select the PCM sound card
[08:33] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, my options are default, HDA Intel PCH or "enter a device name"
[08:34] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Ok which one is currently selected?
[08:35] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, HDA blah blah etc... is selected I guess, since it says that at top left for alsamixer window
[08:35] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, No worries, just escape out of the selection window
[08:36] <jbarber> Does anyone do any programming in C/C++?
[08:37] <Gavilan2> jared5552: I used to...
[08:37] <jbarber> Did you do any OpenGL or SDL stuff?
[08:37] <skooks> d
[08:37] <skooks> Muphrid great idea.
[08:38] <Emanon> Damn I missed it. What did muffy say?
[08:38] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Now back at the main screen again there at the bottom of the first column called master should be 2 zeros
[08:39] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, If there is MM then use your arrow keys to highlight Master and then press m to toggle
[08:39] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, And then do the same for the column called PCM
[08:39] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, http://imagebin.org/241800
[08:39] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Now play some sound/music and see what you get
[08:41] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Yeah like that :) Probably wouldn't hurt to mute S/PDIF though
[08:41] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, as you can see there is no 00 below PCM though
[08:41] <Emanon> Does it cause hissing if you're not using it or something Mechdave?
[08:41] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Yeah, that is ok, just means you can't mute it :)
[08:42] <Mechdave> Emanon, Just doesn't work for him
[08:42] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Ok can you play any music or sound now?
[08:42] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, rhythymbox is playing silence.
[08:42] <blim> hi, Is there a way I cant optimize Ubuntu internet setting for gaming?
[08:42] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, all sound is silent.. movies, system sounds etc...
[08:43] <aeon-ltd> blim: you can't besides free up as much bndwidth as possible
[08:43] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, It is a silly question but you haven't muted it in gnome app for sound?
[08:44] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, you're right, that is a silly question. It's not muted. :)
[08:44] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Good... Simple stuff like that has tripped me up for a bit before :)
[08:44] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, sound comes out of my TV when I plug the HDMI cable back in... if that helps.
[08:44] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Ok Hang on, I have to log in to Gnome... BRB
[08:45] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Ok so sounds like the sound is routed to HDMI
[08:46] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, OK hang on for a sec, will go to gnome
[08:46] <BlackDalek> Are you SURE the HDA Intel PCh is my sound card and not just the HDMI port?
[08:48] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, Are you SURE the thing in alsamixer is my soundcard and not the HDMI port? Intel PantherPoint HDMI sounds more like the HDMI port than the onboard audio card to me.... :(
[08:48] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, I am doing some research atm... Trying to verify whether it is a HDMI port or not
[08:51] <ddfgt> hi
[08:51] <Cong> Why aren't there options to change the clock format for gnome-panel? ubuntu 12.04
[08:51] <ddfgt> how i can mount my NAS in ubuntu?
[08:51] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, In your sound settings you should have in the Play Sound Through box a couple of choices... Currently you have none
[08:51] <Emanon> Cong, I think they're in the gconf-editor options.
[08:52] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, that's my original question
[08:52] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, In alsamixer press F5 and see if Master Mono is muted?
[08:52] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, So the problem is that Ubuntu has somehow forgotten about your sound card
[08:52] <blim> aeon-ltd: ok thanks
[08:53] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, But it hasn't really
[08:53] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, I know.. that's my whole problem. I see nothing called master mono in alsamixer. I see a Master, and it isn't muted
[08:54] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Even after pressing F5?
[08:55] <ddfgt> someone?
[08:55] <Cong> Emanon, can't find them in gconf-editor
[08:56] <Emanon> Hold on I'm looking for the path, I'm on 12.10 so it's not there for me.
[08:56] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, http://imagebin.org/241801
[08:57] <Emanon> My mistake Cong I must have been remembering to back when they used standard Gnome.
[08:57] <Mechdave> ddfgt, Does your NAS work off Windows sharing?
[08:57] <Mechdave> BlackDalek, Ok, hang on just doing some reading
[08:58] <ddfgt> Mechdave, is the "xtreamer"
[08:58] <BlackDalek> Ubuntu gobbled up my soundcard and won't give it back :(
[08:58] <ddfgt> it's look like a box that seat near to the TV
[08:58] <Emanon> Cong: Is there an option in System Settings>Time & Date?
[08:59] <ddfgt> Mechdave, ?
[08:59] <Emanon> In the "Clock" tab of "Time & Date" perhaps Cong.
[09:03] <kelvinella> guys i found a bug in nautilus
[09:03] <cfhowlett> !bug|kelvinella
[09:03] <kelvinella> after running the system for a while, the menu in nautilus will disappear
[09:03] <kelvinella> and cut and paste files wont work
[09:04] <kelvinella> only paste into folder work
[09:04] <kelvinella> it works
[09:05] <SwashBuckla> Custom Unattended Ubuntu install CD -- is it possible to create one? This would be awesome!
[09:05] <kelvinella> but the paste in right click menu is gray out
[09:05] <kelvinella> it works if click on it lol
[09:05] <SwashBuckla> I'd love to be able to put in a CD, boot, and have an OS set up with all my desired packages without pushing another button
[09:09] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, had a look in the bios settings for anything useful soundcard-wise.. found nothing
[09:10] <SwashBuckla> http://askubuntu.com/questions/122505/how-do-i-create-completely-unattended-install-for-ubuntu seems to answer my question :)
[09:10] <SwashBuckla> has anyone here done this?
[09:11] <EricHerman> anybody good with screen resolution issues? I upgraded my xubuntu to version 12.10 and since then my screen has been at the wrong resolution. It used to be that when I had a game or something that left the screen in the wrong resoution, I could fix things with: xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1920x1200
[09:11] <EricHerman> however, now I get a message that "xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default"
[09:12] <SwashBuckla> in the meantime I think I might try dpkg --set-selections < installed-software
[09:12] <BlackDalek> Mechdave, welcome back
[09:12] <cfhowlett> !remastersys|SwashBuckla
[09:13] <EricHerman> I tried to change from "DVI-0" to "default" as suggested by a web-search, but that resulted in "xrandr: cannot find mode 1920x1200"
[09:13] <SwashBuckla> !remastersys SwashBuckla
[09:13] <cfhowlett> SwashBuckla: see remastersys for customized ubuntu iso
[09:13] <SwashBuckla> Sorry, I don't know anything about remastersys SwashBuckla
[09:13] <SwashBuckla> cfhowlett: ok
[09:13] <cfhowlett> http://www.remastersys.com/
[09:13] <EricHerman> And indeed, when I use the GUI display settings tool, I do not see 1920x1200 in the list of options.
[09:14] <SwashBuckla> cfhowlett: mm nice
[09:14] <SwashBuckla> cfhowlett: I currently use lots of dotfiles backed up on github
[09:14] <cfhowlett> SwashBuckla: yeesh.  hardcore.
[09:14] <SwashBuckla> that's how I move my config onto new machines
[09:15] <SwashBuckla> there's not that many
[09:15] <SwashBuckla> .xinitrc, xmonad.hs. .Xdefaults ...
[09:17] <SwashBuckla> Ubuntu is booting very slowly. Is there any profiling tool I could use to inspect the boot process for bottlenecks?
[09:18] <cfhowlett> SwashBuckla: pretty sure there's a boot log somewhere.  Also, you can reboot and turn off silent mode so you can see the boot scroll
[09:19] <SwashBuckla> is silent mode a GRUB flag?
[09:19] <cfhowlett> SwashBuckla: looking - wait 1
[09:19] <SwashBuckla> :)
[09:20] <bazhang> !nox | SwashBuckla

[09:28] <kainwrk> hello!
[09:28] <kainwrk> can anybody help me with bind?
[09:34] <SwashBuckla> Jordan_U: THANKS :)
[09:34] <SwashBuckla> woopcaps
[09:35] <wildc4rd> how can I get rid of Unity in 12.10?
[09:35] <Jordan_U> swang1: You're welcome.
[09:37] <kainwrk> i make all settings in config files, some time it works perfect. But now I have a  c0 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) mistake
[09:37] <kainwrk> I cant resolve any computers that write in my DNS
[09:38] <jgcampbell300> can anyone here explain the what dns-search  does in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[09:40] <netchip> hi
[09:40] <netchip> maybe an idiot question
[09:41] <netchip> where can I get the initrd of Ubuntu 12.10 for ARMHF devices?
[09:41] <cfhowlett> netchip: probably not.  ask away.
[09:41] <netchip> You know, the default init file etc
[09:41] <bazhang> netchip, #ubuntu-arm ? been there?
[09:41] <netchip> bazhang, didn't know that #ubuntu-arm existed, thanks
[09:44] <genteor> fgdk
[09:45] <genteor> hi chan!
[09:46] <cfhowlett> genteor: greetings
[09:48] <repozitor> i inserted a wireless USB card into USB
[09:48] <repozitor> where i can found all about it's driver?
[09:49] <cfhowlett> repozitor: in the terminal: lshw
[09:49] <kainwrk> no? no help for me here?
[09:50] <Dayofswords> I need some help. I'm upgrading ubuntu 11.1o to 12.04.1 and mid-way the windows disappear  with the background and mouse still there. i went to the ctrl-alt F1 terminal, did htop top and i think the release upgrader is still running, basically, how can i get my GUI working again without stopping thee upgrade?
[09:50] <bazhang> kainwrk, ask the channel a question
[09:50] <cfhowlett> !patience|kainwrk:
[09:50] <bazhang> Dayofswords, ctrl alt f7
[09:50] <MonkeyDust> kainwrk  start here https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/dns.html
[09:51] <kainwrk>  i make all settings in config files, some time it works perfect. But now I have a  c0 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) mistake
 I cant resolve any computers that write in my DNS
[09:51] <Dayofswords> bazhang: did, i get a mouse, no unity and the background is only showing at the  bottom
[09:51] <kainwrk> it works some time, till i restart my virtual machine
[09:52] <kainwrk> now i cant resolve any computer
[09:52] <bazhang> kainwrk, why not ask in #bind
[09:52] <MonkeyDust> kainwrk  i've had that too, vbox stealing the connection, especially when i ran virtual winxp
[09:52] <kainwrk> it means that config files is ok
[09:53] <netchip> where can I get an initrd for arm devices?
[09:53] <JohnTeddy> Is there a ppa for quantal to get the linux kernel 3.8?
[09:53] <kainwrk> hmm, with what command or config file i can see default DNS
[09:53] <cfhowlett> netchip: #ubuntu-arm not helpful?
[09:53] <netchip> cfhowlett, they don't answer there :|
[09:54] <MonkeyDust> netchip  did you read the wiki page? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM
[09:54] <kainwrk> i ask in bind. silence was an answer :)
[09:54] <bazhang> JohnTeddy, check the PPA search site
[09:54] <Dayofswords> bazhang: any idea how I can bring the release updater to the command since GUI isn't working anymore?
[09:54] <cfhowlett> netchip: download the Ubuntu-arm and extract initrd?
[09:54] <JohnTeddy> What is the ubuntu channel for 13.04?
[09:54] <netchip> MonkeyDust, I did....
[09:54] <bazhang> JohnTeddy, #ubuntu+1
[09:55] <JohnTeddy> thanks
[09:55] <netchip> cfhowlett, I downloaded ubuntu-core ARMHF, and that's just the root filesystem
[09:55] <netchip> cfhowlett, because EVERY ARM device works different
[09:55] <netchip> hmm
[09:56] <netchip> maybe I can dump it
[09:56] <cfhowlett> netchip: err. wish I could help, but that kind of knowledge is above my paygrade.  Stay in channel and ask again.  or see the ubuntu-arm wiki for other support options.
[09:56] <netchip> cfhowlett, Ok, thanks :)
[10:00] <netchip> cfhowlett, I think this will do it, with mods :) http://pastebin.com/gCusRKCM
[10:00] <Dayofswords> I need some help. I'm upgrading ubuntu 11.1o to 12.04.1 and mid-way the windows disappear  with the background and mouse still there. i went to the ctrl-alt F1 terminal, did htop and i think the release upgrader is still running, basically, how can i get my GUI working again without stopping the upgrade?
[10:01] <cfhowlett> Dayofswords: ctrl alt f7
[10:02] <lucido> how can I install and activate the propreity nvidia drivers from the console (my fresh ubuntu install fails to start the GUI)?
[10:02] <Dayofswords> cfhowlett: that just goes back tot he GUI but it's not working right, I only have a mouse and partial bottom of the background, no desktop, unity or anything
[10:02] <cfhowlett> Dayofswords: so the upgrade is running but the display is fragged?
[10:03] <Dayofswords> cfhowlett: pretty much, It got to the upgrading packages part then while i was waited freaked out on me
[10:04] <Dayofswords> I think the "do you want to remove these not needed packages"
[10:04] <Dayofswords> is the part it's probably on now
[10:04] <MonkeyDust> press enter, or y
[10:05] <netchip> a simple question: if I am at /, and I have a script executed, which unmounts /, and it is on /, will it continue? Or is it just stopping?
[10:05] <cfhowlett> Dayofswords: here's a thought: let the upgrade run.  If you still see display issues on reboot, then either your iso is flawed *THIS is why I always md5sum check before install* or your graphics are failing.  Assuming you had proper graphics under 11.10, I'd suggest a corrupt ISO.
[10:05] <cfhowlett> Dayofswords: also a good reason to do clean installs rather than distro upgrades ...
[10:05] <Dayofswords> cfhowlett: it was not with an iso, i was using Ubuntu's "Upgrade to ubuntu 12.04.1" button-thingy
[10:06] <cfhowlett> Dayofswords: understood ...
[10:06] <MonkWitDaFunk> hi channel, is badblocks included with ubuntu after installing? i just installed precise
[10:06] <Dayofswords> the process with the huge dpkg command ended a few minutes ago so i think the upgrdae part finished.
[10:07] <cfhowlett> Dayofswords: fwiw, it's usually quicker to DL the ISO, md5sum and then install.
[10:07] <Dayofswords> cfhowlett: yeah, probably would have been
[10:10] <Dayofswords> cfhowlett: oh here is something there is process running with "gksu -desktop /usr/share/applications/update-manager.desktop -- /tmp/update-manager-Yj6bJ4/precise"  so the manager is prompting for a password, any idea how i could somehow enter it without being in the gui(since it's bork)?
[10:11] <Reddie> Greetings.
[10:11] <cfhowlett> Dayofswords: frustrating.  Sorry, but IDK.
[10:11] <Reddie> Anyone have a moment?
[10:11] <MonkeyDust> Dayofswords  that's a trail of problems, better start over
[10:11] <cfhowlett> Dayofswords: Sorry to also say, your best bet is to DL the iso, check it and clean install.  Yes, that means starting over ...
[10:12] <MonkeyDust> !ask | Reddie
[10:12] <cfhowlett> Reddie: greetings.  state the issue.
[10:13] <Reddie> I am not exactly good with ubuntu, but I managed to at least download and install Wine. I attempted to run an older game with it, but it freezes relatively quickly after start up.
[10:13] <MonkWitDaFunk> badblocks is part of the e2fsprongs package
[10:13] <MonkeyDust> !appdb > Reddie
[10:13] <Reddie> Is there a common solution?
[10:13] <bazhang> check the appdb Reddie then join #winehq for help
[10:14] <Reddie> Thaks, will do.
[10:17] <netchip> !help
[10:21] <netchip> can I access my ARM device via USB, to execute root commands? I mean, I probably don't have network/graphics.
[10:21] <netchip> Or do I have to boot in recovery mode, and chroot into my installation?
[10:23] <test> .
[10:24] <MonkeyDust> netchip  you're doing something experimental, it seems: try it, then you are the expert
[10:25] <netchip> MonkeyDust, That's a way of thinking I never thought of ;-)
[10:25] <monk13> hey all, just curious... i am a new linux user... I login and see a shared FAT32 im using between linux/windows..
[10:26] <monk13> I'd like to copy a file there. via command line.. but not sure where it is in the not-GUI.
[10:26] <white_magic> monk13: use the force
[10:26] <monk13> i thought maybe its mounted and it would be under /dev/sdb5
[10:26] <monk13> but only see /dev/disk/by-label there and doesnt seem to be it.
[10:26] <monk13> haha white_magic, i'll try ;)
[10:27] <monk13> Im making a copy of the GRUB boot partition so i can supply it to VirtualBox in Windows to run that linux OS as a raw disk partition. (guess im not a total newb as I made it sound ;) )
[10:27] <MonkeyDust> monk13  type mount to see where everything is
[10:28] <monk13> sweet thanks MonkeyDust. i see the shared drive is on /media/me/SHARED
[10:30] <KangLong> ...
[10:30] <netchip> hmm
[10:31] <netchip> pretty interesting
[10:31] <yu> Hi all
[10:31] <netchip> hi yu
[10:33] <monk13> doubt it, but has anyone ever gotten ubuntu to show up as a 'raw disk' in VirtualBox? following their VB's advanced instructions now but not sure if i need to supply -mbr to it. the mbr of the drive has Windows Bootloader used to dual boot. not sure how i can get the Virtual Machine software to know to use the boot partition which is on extended partition (boot partition is on extended partition along with /, /home, linux-swap p

[10:35] <Sail> is removing ubuntu one good or bad?
[10:35] <cfhowlett> Sail: why remove it?  Don't like it, don't use it...
[10:36] <white_magic> because linux is a cancer
[10:36] <white_magic> that's what steve balmer said
[10:36] <white_magic> it's a cancer so it infects the HDD
[10:36] <white_magic> it's kind of like a virus
[10:36] <Sail> cfhowlett: whts the use of ubuntuone?
[10:36] <cfhowlett> !owhite_magic:
[10:36] <white_magic> eventually the HDD starts decaying

[10:56] <Gorilla_No_Baka> right, hello every one.. Does anyone know why  the latest ubuntu does not have any sound at all? JUst did a clean install
[10:56] <Gorilla_No_Baka> do i have to modeprobe stuff now or what?
[10:57] <BlenderKiel97> Ok, I don't know why Compiz is crashing. I haven't install any video card drivers. It seems like not enough RAM Memory(2GB), but I don't know more about it. Thanks for help
[10:57] <Gorilla_No_Baka> I mean it worked flawless untill i decided to do the "right thing " and do a  clean install upgrade
[10:58] <Coffeecoco> wow, the reaisation of roughly 14 years ago i was hanging out in the linux channels learning
[10:58] <Coffeecoco> realisation*
[10:59] <angel56> realiZation :)
[10:59] <Coffeecoco> yeah that^
[11:00] <Gorilla_No_Baka> funny enough there is no warning in the ubuntu documentation reference the inability to support  "snd_hda_intel
[11:00] <cfhowlett> Gorilla_No_Baka: this is for 12.10???
[11:01] <Gorilla_No_Baka> i know .. it's mental innit?
[11:01] <cfhowlett> Gorilla_No_Baka: try running from terminal alsamixer and change AUTO-MUTE MODE to disable
[11:02] <cfhowlett> Gorilla_No_Baka: for references   http://askubuntu.com/questions/204277/sound-not-working-with-ubuntu-12-10-clean-install
[11:02] <Gorilla_No_Baka> cfhowlett: :) oh dear, that was the first thing i did..That's the only thing left to do since some very VERY smart and bright guy decided to remove alsaconf
[11:02] <cfhowlett> Gorilla_No_Baka: live and learn
[11:04] <Gorilla_No_Baka> cfhowlett:  that's why i am here ..Englighten me please.. Do i need to compile some stuff? do i need to upgrade/downgrade my kernel?  modeprobe "snd_hda_intel(which idid by the way)
[11:04] <cfhowlett> Gorilla_No_Baka: you should be able to reinstall alsaconf ... wait 1
[11:04] <Gorilla_No_Baka> rgr that
[11:05] <cfhowlett> Gorilla_No_Baka: so do I understand that you removed alsa?
[11:06] <endra> hey
[11:06] <Gorilla_No_Baka> cfhowlett:  you mean getting the package from debian and extract it to get only the alsaconf script..? No i did not remove anything.. this is a brand new fresh install.. all i did so far was to apt-get gdebi irssi axel and cclive..
[11:06] <cfhowlett> endra: greetings
[11:07] <endra> I want to use my ubuntu-server to be network storage for the office. What's the best way to do that? cfhowlett: greetings right back at you
[11:07] <cfhowlett> Gorilla_No_Baka: ok.  so far as I understand alsa is now deprecated in favor of pulseaudio.  to see your pulse audio settings run pavucontrol
[11:07] <endra> There are quite a few solutions, and not really one leading one that I could find. It has to be compatible with OS X, though, is the only caveat.
[11:07] <cfhowlett> endra: ehhhh, I think I saw a tutorial for that.  wait.
[11:09] <Gorilla_No_Baka> cfhowlett:  stand by
[11:10] <cfhowlett> endra: fullcircle magazine dedicated an issue to installing and configuring servers; issueSE01
[11:11] <endra> cfhowlett: wait a sec, I'm capable of setting up servers. I'm just not sure which file sharing software to use
[11:12] <cfhowlett> endra: ok.  IDK enough to give intelligent advice on that.  ask in this channel and #ubuntu-server
[11:12] <endra> cfhowlett: thanks for the attempt, appreciate it
[11:14] <namoamitabuddha> ubottu: why not aptitude?
[11:15] <k1l> namoamitabuddha: aptitude got problems with multiarch
[11:16] <Gorilla_No_Baka> cfhowlett:  ok just installed pavucontrol..it reports everything being 100%
[11:16] <Gorilla_No_Baka> cfhowlett: no sound however
[11:16] <cfhowlett> Gorilla_No_Baka: and might your hardware switch be set to mute?
[11:16] <namoamitabuddha> k1l: Is it fixed now? http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=672340
[11:18] <Preed> Finally ubuntu for android is coming :D
[11:19] <Gorilla_No_Baka> cfhowlett: it's one of the newest toshibas  a p850 3th gen proc i7  8gb ram and all that there's  no other controls to mute the sound on this thosiba except for some weird ass mac like up and down volume on off keyboard buttons which of course are not working since the toshet won't work on ubuntu either..Big Surprise
[11:19] <Gorilla_No_Baka> :)
[11:19] <Preed> I just wonder, is it going to be availible as a download for existing devices like my SGS3, and is it going to be free?

[11:22] <Preed> Or is ubuntu for android only going to be availible on new devices from manufacturers?
[11:22] <cfhowlett> Preed: which is announced but not available as yet.
[11:22] <ania_> any idea why conku runs in terminal not desktop??
[11:23] <cfhowlett> lcabreza1: unknown.  please ask in the #ubuntu-phone channel.

[11:26] <Gorilla_No_Baka> cfhowlett:  do you think it would be worth to uninstall pulse  and then try to reinstall again.. I could apt-get remove it and then try to reinstall
[11:27] <Gorilla_No_Baka> in these situations alsaconf would have worked wonders.. It NEVER failed ONCE..NEVER
[11:27] <sh3llc0d3r> admin around?
[11:27] <cfhowlett> Gorilla_No_Baka: apt-get purge is what you want to try.  But, yeah, that would me my line of attack

[11:31] <sh3llc0d3r> thanks @k1l

[11:37] <taofd> I am trying to mount a remote smb share… anyone know how to make this work?
[11:37] <zyngawow> can anybody help with this? http://imgur.com/sUxv6
[11:38] <taofd> when using mount -t  smbfs it tells me smbfs is an unknown file type
[11:38] <taofd> what does 12.10 use to handle smb shares?
[11:39] <taofd> anyone know?
[11:40] <cfhowlett> taofd: my wish to peek in at #ubuntu-server with this query.
[11:40] <taofd> @cfhowlett thx
[11:41] <vrnithin> #join lex
[11:41] <cfhowlett> vrnithin: you mean /join #lex
[11:42] <vrnithin> cfhowlett,sorry i forget to add /
[11:42] <taofd> sigh… all i really want is to use freefilesync to sync my files between a local folder and a smb share
[11:43] <taofd> anyone have experience using freefilesync? it doesn't seem to lallow me to use remote shares
[11:43] <taofd> as a work around, i figured i could mount a remote smb share to a local folder and do it that way...
[11:45] <olivia_> anybody able to help me fix an SD card I corrupted using dd?
[11:46] <llutz> taofd: mount -t cifs              (smbfs is obsolete since years)
[11:48] <taofd> @llutz yeah after some searching i'm trying it with cifs… how would i handle a server address with spaces in the folder?
[11:48] <olivia_>    I have tried everything even the Windows-only official SD formatter, Ubuntu can't see the card, but Windows can (although cannot format/read/write, even using the special tool).
[11:48] <llutz> taofd: mount -t cifs      dir\ wth\ space
[11:49] <taofd> would it just be mount -t cifs server:/word\ word/folder ~/shared_folder
[11:50] <taofd> what about the syntax for the server? i'm guessing smb://server isn't gonna fly?
[11:57] <eos> hi everybody! my laptop takes 11s to mount the swap .... any clue how can I reduce it?
[11:57] <BlackDalek> Help! Ubuntu ate my sound card now I got nothing in my output devices for sound... http://imagebin.org/241799 how do I get it back?
[11:57] <taofd> llutz: can you give me the syntax for mounting a smb share if server=smb://server/username/folder share="share test" and mount= mount?
[12:02] <taofd> anyone knows where ubuntu mounts smb shares by default?
[12:02] <taofd> i.e., is there a temporary folder it mounts to under /home/user
[12:03] <BlackDalek> help! Ubuntu has "forgotten" how to use my sound card. It no longer shows up in devices for sound settings. How can I reinstall it?
[12:03] <netchip> hey
[12:03] <netchip> what is the recommended way to generate an ubuntu core image??
[12:05] <BlackDalek> the soundcard in my laptop went dead in ubuntu and all sound is being routed through the HDMI port. I have the HDMI cable unplugged, but Ubuntu cannot find my soundcard in the devices
[12:06] <FlyOnZeWall> BlackDalek, it should be detected on startup, are you sure it still works? (most of the times I've had hardware disappear on me is when it's broken down)
[12:06] <bpuzzled> taofd: just type "mount" in terminal to get a list; that should tell you for sure.
[12:07] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:08] <FlyOnZeWall> taofd, which ubuntu version do you have?
[12:08] <FlyOnZeWall> hi BluesKaj
[12:09] <BlackDalek> FlyOnZeWall, it was working fine this morning. I plugged in a HDMI cable and sound worked fine through the TV. I unplugged it and sound never returned. Even after a reboot. It won't come back. Here is result of aplay -a http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1498954/ and here is result of lspci http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1499410/
[12:09] <BluesKaj> hi FlyOnZeWall
[12:09] <StevieRockfoot> Hiya!
[12:09] <SadlyMistaken> Hello everybody, can someone help me with PULSEAUDIO??? I have a problem with PULSEAUDIO. Any program I use to record me with the webcam, i always got a video with bad sound... 6 or 7 seconds later.
[12:10] <BlackDalek> FlyOnZeWall, and here is what shows in output devices http://imagebin.org/241799
[12:10] <taofd> @FlyOnZeWall: 12.10 -- i've found where gvfs mounts stuff now, it's all under /run/user/<username> … problem is, i am still unable to select my target folder via freefilesync :(
[12:12] <FlyOnZeWall> BlackDalek, do you still have the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf?
[12:14] <FlyOnZeWall> taofd, have you considered using rsync for file synchronization?
[12:14] <taofd> does rsync handle folder renames, file deletes, and file moves?
[12:15] <FlyOnZeWall> not sure about the folder renames, but the rest I believe it handles
[12:15] <FlyOnZeWall> I'm not a spokesman for rsync =)
[12:15] <FlyOnZeWall> I just know it's quite a popular tool to use for this purpose
[12:16] <taofd> looks like rysnc cannot detect moves :( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1232349/mirroring-file-moves-with-rsync
[12:16] <taofd> yeah, rsync was first on my mind… would be great if it did handle moves / deletes, especially since there's built in compression
[12:17] <taofd> freefilesync works great, but i'm having trouble getting it working for osx
[12:17] <blackdalek> FlyOnZeWall, did you get my messages? I got disconnected from IRC
[12:17] <FlyOnZeWall> nope
[12:17] <taofd> figured it'd be easy to just install a linux vm, mount a shared folder, then mount my target smb share, but it's proving more complex than i expected
[12:18] <blackdalek> FlyOnZeWall, last message was imagebin post of missing output devices...
[12:18] <blackdalek> FlyOnZeWall, and here is what shows in output devices http://imagebin.org/241799
[12:18] <EricHerman> Well, I was able to overcome the resolution problems after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 by wiping the root partition and doing a clean install from CD.   Somewhat disappointing solution, but it worked.
[12:19] <blackdalek> FlyOnZeWall, it was working fine this morning. I plugged in a HDMI cable and sound worked fine through the TV. I unplugged it and sound never returned. Even after a reboot. It won't come back. Here is result of aplay -a http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1498954/ and here is result of lspci http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1499410/
[12:20] <Benxyzzy> If I want to rename a file, the user needs to have write permissions on the parent directory, am I right?
[12:20] <jakeriver> i'd say yes.
[12:22] <Benxyzzy> I want to gzip a custom log in /var/log , but looks like I'm going to have to do it as root. The logging user can write to the logfile itself but /var/log is only writeable by root
[12:22] <blackdalek> Can anyone in here help?, sound was working fine this morning. I plugged in a HDMI cable and sound worked fine through the TV. I unplugged it and sound never returned. Even after a reboot. It won't come back. Here is result of aplay -l http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1498954/ and here is result of lspci http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1499410/ and this is what is in output devices http://imagebin.org/241799

[12:29] <atlef> !b43
[12:30] <pppingme> olivia_ maybe the partition table is bad, use dd and write all zeros (/dev/zero) to it
[12:31] <rokra> Hi, how to run lightdm instedad of gdm?
[12:31] <pppingme> olivia_ be sure you write it to the whole card (ex: /dev/sdc) and not a partition (/dev/sdc1)

[12:39] <Jan1974> hi, did someone has experiences with installing Ubuntu on a new Sony Vaio with Windows 8 pre-installed?
[12:39] <olivia_> MonkeyDust could dd really have done hardware damage?
[12:40] <olivia_> MonkeyDust I ran the wrong dd command

[12:59] <Transhumanist> So you were using what version before 12.04?
[12:59] <Tashtego> i guess if the system freezes there is no log where i can look for?
[13:00] <Creed> hello folks, I have a problem installing a wireless dongle on ubuntu hardy heron.  I've got the drivers but I can't understand how to install it.
[13:00] <Tashtego> i started with 12.04
[13:00] <Tashtego> new computer hardware. ssd hard disc
[13:00] <Tashtego> 8core cpu
[13:00] <Transhumanist> hmm.
[13:00] <Tashtego> maybe vga problems?
[13:00] <jay__> hash isn't working?
[13:00] <Tashtego> "AMD unsupported hardware" shows me
[13:00] <Transhumanist> I'd ask about it on the ubuntu forums. But which graphics driver are you using?
[13:01] <Creed> I've done lsusb and shows that the computer sees the dongle
[13:01] <cfhowlett> Creed: hardy?  EOL!!!!
[13:01] <jay__> \ ,<----- this comes up instead
[13:01] <jay__> foward slash
[13:01] <Tashtego> Transhumanist, the default ones i cant install amd vga drivers via "additional hardware"
[13:01] <Creed> hi cfhowlett , for me is the best ubuntu ever
[13:01] <Tashtego> always breaks with an error
[13:01] <Creed> the most stable of all
[13:01] <cfhowlett> Creed: ok then.
[13:02] <Creed> cfhowlett: can you help me?
[13:02] <cfhowlett> Creed: that said, I'd be surprised if you could actually get a wifi dongle to work.
[13:02] <cfhowlett> Creed: wish i could.  let me look real quick
[13:02] <Transhumanist> I dunno sorry, tash. If it were me, I might try some other versions like 12.10 or Xubuntu and see if the error recurrs. But if you get no response here, definitely try the ubuntu forums.
[13:02] <Creed> thanks cfhowlett
[13:03] <Transhumanist> http://ubuntuforums.org/
[13:03] <Tashtego> k thx
[13:03] <Petaz> how do i setup ipv6 nating?
[13:03] <MonkeyDust> Creed  fastest, easiest and cleanest would be fresh install -- backup first and consider creating a separate /home partition
[13:03] <olivia_>  I ran this on my SD card: dd bs=1M if=2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/sdb ------- but now I realise it was wrong, however i cannot mount/see the card any more, anybody able to help? :)
[13:04] <Creed> MonkeyDust: mmm thanks but I'll rather buy a mac...
[13:04] <Transhumanist> separate home partition means you don't need backup personal data when reinstalling the OS, since the personal data is on another partition. fairly obvious, but worth mentioning
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> Creed  why not upgrade AND buy a Mac, so you have both?
[13:04] <Transhumanist> olivia: can you still see it in gparted?
[13:05] <Transhumanist> Why not dual-boot Ubuntu on the Mac? ;)
[13:05] <Transhumanist> but P.S. don't buy a mac. Buy a System76.
[13:05] <Petaz> System76? but its 13 fcol
[13:05] <Creed> MonkeyDust: thx for the advice, which sounds great but in a distant future...
[13:06] <MonkeyDust> what's 13 fcol?
[13:06] <Creed> cfhowlett: i've done lsusb
[13:06] <Petaz> year
[13:06] <Transhumanist> olivia: if you haven't got gparted, install it via apt-get or the Software Centre
[13:06] <Petaz> i thought you could make the connection...
[13:06] <Transhumanist> than, open it and see if you can find sdb
[13:06] <Creed> so if he sees it means that is a good start, or not?
[13:06] <Transhumanist> if you can, then just reformat it with fat or ext
[13:06] <cfhowlett> Creed: best I can suggest is you search for the "best wireless adapters for ubuntu" and use one of them.  backward engineering anything else on an EOL system isn't worth the time, IHO.
[13:07] <Syria> I cant ssh to my laptop from the LAN I get connection refused.
[13:07] <Petaz> FCOL For Crying Out Loud
[13:07] <Creed> cfhowlett: how
[13:07] <Creed> i've got everything cfhowlett
[13:07] <Creed> drivers and terminal
[13:07] <Creed> what else do i need?
[13:08] <Transhumanist> is SSH installed on the host machine, Syria?
[13:08] <Transhumanist> silly question, but... ;)
[13:08] <cfhowlett> Creed: OK.  what make/model?
[13:08] <Syria> Transhumanist:  Yes, openssh-client
[13:08] <Transhumanist> http://askubuntu.com/questions/30080/how-to-solve-connection-refused-errors-in-ssh-connection
[13:08] <Creed> cfhowlett: of...?
[13:08] <cfhowlett> Creed: the dongle
[13:09] <Creed> ok...it's a 3072 Ralink Technology, Corp
[13:09] <Syria> Transhumanist:  It didn't work, I don't have an IP address conflict.
[13:09] <Benxyzzy> exit
[13:09] <Benxyzzy> aw
[13:09] <Transhumanist> is it possible to restart both devices and then confirm that the ssh service is running on the host machine after restart?
[13:09] <Creed> Bus 004 Device 005: ID 148f:3072 Ralink Technology, Corp
[13:10] <Syria> Transhumanist:  I can ssh into other computers, But I can't ssh into my computer! It means that ssh is working right?
[13:11] <cfhowlett> Creed: LOTS of entries on that model failing under 8.04
[13:11] <Syria> Transhumanist:  "pgrep ssh" gives 1372 & 3366
[13:11] <MonkeyDust> Syria  to ssh *into*, you need to have openssh-server installed on that pc
[13:12] <Syria> MonkeyDust: I see! I have installed openssh-client only.
[13:12] <cfhowlett> Creed: see the final entry in this thread ... FIXED  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1565165

[13:18] <Creed> sorry...
[13:18] <Creed> from what I read of the link you showed me, I couldn't get te final solution

[13:27] <iwkse> hi, can you advice a TODO software that allows to create tasks according to separate projects/works?
[13:27] <Creed> ehm... I really appreciate your will to help me cfhowlett, do you know somebody that has got more experience?
[13:27] <Syria> How can I poweroff several machines at one time? When the employees go home somethimes they forget their computers running!
[13:28] <Coffeecoco> set a cron job
[13:28] <Coffeecoco> timmer
[13:28] <Coffeecoco> shutdown
[13:28] <Creed> however whatever you told me to type, doesn't give back anything cfhowlett
[13:28] <cfhowlett> Creed: stay in channel and keep asking.  I'm know LOTS of people come through with more experience than me.  Best of luck
[13:28] <compdoc> Syria, what if an employee is working late?
[13:29] <Syria> compdoc:  I know who is working late, And when he is not I want to send a command to shutdown the pc.
[13:29] <Syria> Coffeecoco:  The time is different! not always in the same time.
[13:29] <iwkse> Syria: that's easier, just connect though ssh and shutdown the machine
[13:29] <sroecker> iwkse, https://live.gnome.org/Planner
[13:29] <netchip> bwah
[13:30] <Syria> iwkse:  I have more than 35 computers in my LAN
[13:30] <iwkse> sroecker: there's something less "complicated" than planner?
[13:30] <compdoc> Syria, you can do that with ssh
[13:30] <compdoc> ah
[13:30] <iwkse> Syria: well pay someone to do that
[13:30] <netchip> how can I fetch on my x86 PC, an ARMHF package + those dependencies? I hate manually downlaoding packages and all dependencies...
[13:30] <Syria> iwkse:  :( I am being paid to do that.
[13:30] <iwkse> so work!
[13:31] <skillico> ha
[13:31] <Petaz> outsource
[13:31] <Coffeecoco> Syria the time on the pc is different?
[13:31] <Creed> hello folks, I have a problem installing a wireless dongle on ubuntu hardy heron.  I've got the drivers but I can't understand how to install it.
[13:31] <iwkse> Syria: there are things that can't be easily automated
[13:31] <Creed> can you help me to install the drivers?
[13:31] <Creed> from terminal? Thanks
[13:31] <Coffeecoco> Syria f the time on the pc is differnet then you need to sync the time with ntp
[13:31] <Syria> Coffeecoco: I mean, Sometimes I have to turnoff the pc's at 3 pm and sometimes at 4 and so on..
[13:31] <iwkse> well you could still design something interesting, like sensors on the chairs
[13:31] <Coffeecoco> oh ic
[13:32] <iwkse> so you know when someone is sit there
[13:33] <Petaz> just use flash player to spy on them using the laptops cam
[13:33] <Syria> I heard that cssh can give the same command to many several machines!! but when i used it all I got was many open windows at the same time!
[13:33] <Coffeecoco> Syria is it win or nix pc?
[13:33] <Syria> Coffeecoco:  Ubuntu pc.
[13:33] <skillico> so, downloaded windows 8, used it to download ubuntu
[13:33] <sroecker> iwkse: maybe http://taskcoach.org/
[13:33] <skillico> and i love it
[13:33] <iwkse> sroecker: thanks i'll give a look
[13:33] <Petaz> i used freedos to download ubuntgu
[13:33] <Coffeecoco> Syria maybe create a ssh script with the ip's let it run ssh login and run shut down
[13:34] <Syria> Coffeecoco:  I am using net school support with windows machines and it works perfectly.
[13:34] <Coffeecoco> simple^
[13:34] <skillico> never heard of, but sounds like commandline
[13:34] <skillico> xhat really needs a new dockingicon
[13:34] <skillico> chat*
[13:35] <skillico> its horrible
[13:35] <Syria> Coffeecoco: Is it an easy thing to write scripts like that ! do you know where I can find a tutorial please!
[13:35] <sroecker> Creed: what's the problem? did you get the drivers as a .deb or .tar.gz? are they kernel modules or nswrapper drivers?
[13:35] <Petaz> skillico: the CLI is your friend if you want to break free from UNITY hell
[13:35] <iwkse> Syria: to me the best solution is putting a fine to workers who forget to shutdown the system.
[13:35] <skillico> btw. anyone here know if ubuntu is ready for hidpi screens?
[13:35] <iwkse> you'll see the won't forget after a while
[13:35] <Syria> iwkse:  I am just an IT guy, I don't hire employees.
[13:36] <iwkse> Syria: i see, but it's an idea you could show
[13:36] <Creed> sroecker: I've got the drivers on a mini cd autorun
[13:36] <bkc_> Petaz: wrong, anything other than unity is your friend if you wanna break free from unity hell...
[13:36] <bkc_> Petaz: doesn't have to be CLI...
[13:36] <sroecker> Creed: so you got windows drivers?
[13:36] <Creed> sroecker: yep, win, mac, linux
[13:37] <mgedmin> I find myself trying to upgrade an ubuntu 8.10 desktop according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Intrepid
[13:37] <sroecker> Creed: and are the linux drivers open source? maybe there's already a kernel module
[13:38] <Creed> sroecker: I've completely no idea
[13:38] <mgedmin> and do-release-upgrade fails with "Failed Upgrade tool signature", "Failed Upgrade tool", "Failed to extract", "Extracting the upgrade failed. There may be a problem with the network or with the server."
  No "upgrade" is provided
[13:38] <k1l> mgedmin: wow a 8.10 i would really consider a new isntall there
[13:38] <auronandace> mgedmin: you'd be better off fresh installing
[13:38] <sroecker> Creed: try lspci and find out which chip you got
[13:39] <mgedmin> I'm logged in remotely
[13:39] <Creed> ok
[13:39] <mgedmin> the owner tried to make a bootable USB key of the latest release and it failed to boot
[13:39] <Petaz> hey the stable kernel has just been updated
[13:39] <cfhowlett> mgedmin: do you mean specifically 8.10 to 9.04?
[13:39] <Petaz> .6 is the new one
[13:39] <bkc_> mgedmin: do you know if the date on the server is correct? as the keys are dated :)
[13:39] <Coffeecoco> Syria
[13:39] <Coffeecoco> You need to set up public key authentication on remote computers so it will not ask for password.
[13:40] <Coffeecoco> Then you will be able to issue remote command over ssh, like this:
[13:40] <mgedmin> cfhowlett, yeah, my plan is to plod boringly along 8.10->9.04->9.10->10.04->12.04
[13:40] <Coffeecoco> ssh root@remote_computer "shutdown -h now"
[13:40] <Creed> sroecker: it's a realtek semiconductor
[13:40] <mgedmin> bkc_, the clock is fine -- but maybe interpid's archive gpg key has expired?
[13:40] <Coffeecoco> put last bit into a sh script and run it obviously change it to the machine address
[13:40] <Creed> (the computer in question is not the one I'm talking from)
[13:40] <olivia_> anybody able to help me with my sd card, here is dmesg output: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4628444/dmesg_output.txt
[13:41] <auronandace> mgedmin: 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10 are end of life, why weren't they upgraded when they were supported?
[13:41] <cfhowlett> mgedmin: sounds ... painful.  Y U NO just clean install to current release.
[13:41] <bkc_> mgedmin: can you paste the output somewhere?  <command> |& curl -F sprunge=@- sprunge.us

[13:43] <Coffeecoco> networ interface card
[13:43] <sroecker> Creed: i thought you had a wireless dongle.
[13:43] <Coffeecoco> Petaz it was good tri tho :P
[13:43] <Creed> ehm..
[13:43] <Coffeecoco> coulda been a bug and worked...
[13:43] <mgedmin> bkc_, cfhowlett, I'd love to; do you have any suggestions how I might do that, remotely?
[13:43] <skillico> cfhowlett: okay, you just "contribute"? im mainly a ux/ui designer and work a lot with web-stuff, im not talking about making forum signatures
[13:44] <skillico> MonkeyDust: thats where i started
[13:44] <k1l> Coffeecoco: keep this channel clean for real support please
[13:44] <Creed> sroecker: do you want me to connect it now?
[13:44] <Coffeecoco> ok
[13:44] <cfhowlett> skillico: wait one ...
[13:44] <bkc_> mgedmin: ooh, remotely... do you have multiple partitions? :P
[13:44] <sroecker> Creed: yes, is it a usb card? then you need to look what lsusb shows
[13:44] <bkc_> mgedmin: anyways, the error seems to indicate a correct download, have you tried it again? :)
[13:44] <Creed> ok
[13:45] <mgedmin> bkc_, yes, a few times -- also tried do-release-upgrade -p, just to see what it would do; same error
[13:45] <MonkeyDust> skillico  what you can do, create an app, make a .deb or ppa, post it on a blog or forum and hope someone picks it up
[13:45] <cfhowlett> skillico: see http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=16   for contributing artwork to ubuntu

[13:45] <bkc_> mgedmin: tried setting a higher verbosity-level and se if it spits out more info? :)
[13:45] <Creed> ok
[13:46] <mgedmin> bkc_, I don't see any flags to set a higher verbosity level :(
[13:46] <cfhowlett> bkc_: this is WAY over my level, but could you do a PXE boot?
[13:46] <Creed> sroecker: Bus 004 Device 005: ID 148f:3072 Ralink Technology, Corp
[13:46] <skillico> MonkeyDust: I've never used ubuntu earlier, and just loved whats happening these days, I'm not talking about actually writing apps but would be happy to contribute with ui/ux work, user behaviour, etc. (http://skilli.co)
[13:46] <bkc_> cfhowlett: uhm, yes but totaly unrelated as a standard PXE boot still requires physical access :)
[13:47] <skillico> cfhowlett: thanks!
[13:47] <cfhowlett> bkc_: as I said, way over my level.  So that won't work.
[13:47] <cfhowlett> skillico: best of luck
[13:47] <niarbeht> Sooooo, is anyone here good at messing with the grub2 configuration scripts?  Or know somewhere to go to get good information?  I've googled around in the past and met with pain.  In particular, I'd like to edit the scripts so it generates an extra entry for it's detected Linux OS thingies where certain specific grub command thingies are executed first.
[13:47] <k1l> mgedmin: can you post you sources.list?
[13:47] <iwkse> olivia_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132100/errors-in-dmesg-test-wp-failed-assume-write-enabled
[13:48] <bkc_> cfhowlett: I was more thinking along the line of installing to a separate partition, setting grub/whatnot to the new installation, wiping the old installation, done :)
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> skillico  then maybe this is what you want http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/careers

[13:50] <mgedmin> the bootable USB key was created with usb-creator and it fails to boot even in kvm
[13:50] <sroecker> Creed: hmm, your are using hardy, right?
[13:50] <sroecker> this kernel is rather old
[13:50] <bkc_> cfhowlett: why not? bootstrap the new installation, chroot and set it up, fix grub, reboot, wipe old and stretch the partition :)
[13:50] <mgedmin> hey, can I dd a recent ubuntu .iso onto a usb key and have it boot?
[13:50] <mgedmin> I heard it works for Fedora
[13:50] <k1l> mgedmin: yes
[13:50] <olivia_> iwkse do you know what that thread has to do with my sd card beaing unreadable/
[13:50] <mgedmin> cool, I'll try that
[13:51] <cfhowlett> bkc_: --- ___ *** I speak English ... I understood nothing you just said. LOL!
[13:51] <Creed> sroecker: i undestand that is old, but it works great on my computer...extremely stable and quick
[13:51] <cfhowlett> bkc_: but if you can do it >>> Color me impressed.
[13:51] <Creed> sroecker: is there not a way to solve this without touching hardy>
[13:51] <sroecker> sroecker: http://wiki.debian.org/rt2870sta debian supports this since 2.6.29 but I guess you have 2.6.24
[13:51] <bkc_> cfhowlett: that's how you normally install ArchLinux nowadays so I'm forced to do it anyway :)
[13:52] <olivia_> iwkse I ran this on my SD card: dd bs=1M if=2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/sdb ------- but now I realise it was wrong, however i cannot mount/see the card any more, anybody able to help? :)
[13:52] <k1l> mgedmin: can you pastebin a "lsb_release -a"?
[13:52] <Creed> sroecker: how can I know what kernel is
[13:52] <Creed> ?
[13:52] <cfhowlett> mgedmin: ubuntu has a startup disk creator JUST for making boot USB's.  or use netbootin.  Not sure that dd'ing the ISO only will create a bootable media
[13:52] <sroecker> Creed: uname -a
[13:52] <sroecker> uname -r shows only the kernel version
[13:52] <Creed> 2.6.24-19 generic
[13:53] <dariebi> hi all
[13:53] <mgedmin> k1l, just a sec (it'll be 8.10 Intrepid Ibex fwiw)
[13:53] <Petaz>  who is all?
[13:53] <MeanEYE> You can all me All
[13:53] <cfhowlett> dariebi: greetings
[13:53] <mgedmin> ssh is very laggy because I'm test-booting the USB key in kvm over remote X ;)
[13:54] <Creed> sroecker: ok,
[13:54] <mgedmin> cfhowlett, that's usb-creator, which was used for this non-functional usb key; I guess it was just buggy way back in 2008
[13:54] <Creed> if i use this wireless dongle on a younger version of ubuntu how do I install it
[13:54] <k1l> mgedmin: i saw some commented jaunty repo lines in the sources.list. so maybe the system is confused about its own state
[13:54] <mgedmin> I see a few lines of aubergine in KVM; I guess that means I can dd the iso straight to a USB disk!

[14:11] <bhavesh> Why is 32bit Ubuntu "recommended"?
[14:11] <Creed> Could't find package build-essential

[14:12] <mgedmin> conclusion: dd if=ubuntu-*.iso of=/dev/sdX worked fine, the USB key booted up
[14:12] <k1l> bhavesh: because there is still 32bit-only hardware out there
[14:12] <jelllow> I have 2 hard drives I want to transfer over 1tb worth of files from one to the other , nautilus crashes are there any cli tools ? cp or mv are not verbose enough.
[14:12] <bhavesh> k1l: k
[14:12] <k1l> bhavesh: if you have 64bit hardware  go with that
[14:12] <bhavesh> okay.
[14:12] <Creed> sroecker: Could't find package build-essential
[14:13] <Petaz> i have 1 SDD wich i want to use on all my computers with my personal files can i use ubuntu to have several hardwaer profiles for each computer?

[14:48] <MierdaMan> any other way yo find out which distro is?
[14:48] <k1l> MierdaMan: lsb_release -a
[14:48] <k1l> MierdaMan: if that is not there its no ubuntu and better ask in ##linux
[14:49] <MierdaMan> k1l: this is not a running distro, I have an SD card with a file system, and I need to know if it is Ubuntu
[14:49] <MierdaMan> ok
[14:49] <aleksandar22> anyone habing ubiquity problems with 12.10 and VBox
[14:49] <aleksandar22> having*

[14:49] <dcope> any ideas on how to compile https://github.com/BlueDragonX/xf86-input-mtrack
[14:49] <k1l> MierdaMan: cat /etc/lsb-release
[14:50] <k1l> MierdaMan: if its not there its no ubuntu
[14:51] <MierdaMan> k1l:  confirmed, there is no lsb-release file, it is not Ubuntu
[14:51] <MierdaMan> I wonder now which one is
[14:51] <k1l> MierdaMan: so it might even not be a debian, too
[14:51] <MierdaMan> mmm, right
[14:51] <MierdaMan> so without installing it there is no way to know which one is?
[14:52] <k1l> MierdaMan: i dont know how other distris make them selves recognized. so try asking in ##linux

[15:07] <nomike> hi
[15:08] <nomike> How do i forward- and reverse lookup domains in the shell? I've made some entries in /etc/hosts and when I do "host something" it ignores them and queries the dns server. If I use "ping something" it honours "/etc/hosts"
[15:08] <mgedmin> nomike, you can use 'getent hosts something'
[15:08] <emil> süpdofigüsofigüpdoüsgpoifüpsodiüpoiüsdfpig
[15:09] <mgedmin> no idea about reverse lookups -- does the glibc resolver even use /etc/hosts for those?
[15:09] <Guest88737> Emil
[15:10] <Braden`> Hello
[15:10] <Braden`> I am in grub rescue mode.  How do I boot my hdd?
[15:10] <Guest88737> hello
[15:10] <nomike> mgedmin: Well that's not what I need. I need to do normal lookups as are done by glibc.
[15:10] <Guest88737> tschüss
[15:10] <Guest88737> arschlöcher
[15:11] <mgedmin> nomike, AFAIU 'getent hosts' does exactly that -- e.g. I can 'getent hosts www.google.com' even though it's definitely not in my /etc/hosts
[15:11] <Chanel> any idea
[15:11] <mgedmin> nomike, for interactive use I prefer ping -- shorter to type
[15:11] <Chanel> which ubuntu is suited for
[15:11] <Chanel> 1GB RAM Laptop
[15:11] <Chanel> Dual Core
[15:11] <Chanel> the GUI is too heavy
[15:13] <mgedmin> Braden`, does http://askubuntu.com/questions/197833/recovering-from-grub-rescue-crash help you?
[15:13] <compdoc> Chanel, these days I install the server version, and then a minimal desktop. boots very fast.
[15:14] <mgedmin> Chanel, I would be tempted to try 12.04
[15:14] <mgedmin> what sort of graphics does this laptop have?
[15:14] <mgedmin> usual options are Intel (onboard graphics), NVidia, AMD
[15:14] <Chanel> onboard
[15:14] <Chanel> its  a crappy laptop
[15:15] <unhuman> i got php error ps_files_cleanup_dir: opendir(/var/lib/php5) failed: Permission denied (13), whereas is set to: drwx-wx-wt root www-data, how is it possible?
[15:15] <mgedmin> ah, actually, Intel messed things up a bit by releasing some PowerVR-based ("Poulsbo") GMA500 and related chips that are very poorly supported in Ubuntu
[15:15] <mgedmin> most other Intel graphics chips work very well
[15:17] <Chanel> its annoying
[15:17] <Chanel> why do they have to post hostnames
[15:17] <Chanel> when some1  joins
[15:18] <adamk> If you register your nick, it won't post your hostname or IP address.
[15:18] <Chanel> ohh ok
[15:18] <Chanel> well i dont have a problem with that
[15:18] <Chanel> the thing is it hoggs the screen
[15:19] <Chanel> BTW Wubi wont help for minimal installation right?
[15:19] <k1l> Chanel: use a real irc client instead of webchat, which can hide the join and parts
[15:19] <k1l> Chanel: dont go with wubi.
[15:19] <Familybook> The faster you get better the better you get faster
[15:20] <sw> freenode webchat can hide join/part messages, anyway
[15:20] <Chanel> Okies
[15:20] <Chanel> http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso kept on download
[15:20] <Chanel> maybe it helps
[15:20] <Chanel> BTW is this a good place to hire developers :P
[15:21] <Chanel> actually my server needs a bit of optimization
[15:21] <Chanel> dont kick me just asking
[15:22] <k1l> !ot | Chanel

[15:27] <acovrig> is is possible to install ubuntu server from a 128M usb (network install)?
[15:27] <usr13> malik_: 10.10 reached End Of Life April 10, 2012
[15:27] <Chanel> 128M USB do they still exist ?
[15:28] <to_be_determined> weird... i can see all the chat activity through the webchat.freenode site, but using xchat... cannot see anything.
[15:28] <acovrig> Chanel: I have a 128M and 32G, but really don't feel like formatting the 32G
[15:28] <CrazyGangster> well asked! xD
[15:28] <usr13> malik_: If you have /home/ on a separate partition, you can do a 12.04-LTS install and leave /home/ as is.
[15:28] <acovrig> Chanel: never mind, its a 256, but do u know if it's possible?
[15:29] <usr13> malik_: Otherwise, back-up home and do fresh install.
[15:29] <malik_> I can do a fresh install but how do i manage a internet sharing ? is it automatic on 12.10 ?
[15:31] <Nikita19> do i have to format the drive before i can install 12.04
[15:31] <usr13> !firewall | malik_
[15:31] <malik_> i actually tried 12.04 LTS, but my system was lagging and hanging spontaneously, so i switched back, I have a rather old machine, 2,4Ghz quad core with 4GB Ram and 512MB Graphic card.
[15:32] <atlef> !install | Nikita19
[15:32] <usr13> malik_: You can use a firewall script to share interent via NAT
[15:32] <Guest23089> hi
[15:33] <malik_> i never did that before and am a newbiw to ubuntu.. thats why i asked here...
[15:33] <usr13> malik_: But will need to do it through your LAN port and I'm sure that will not work for your situation, so what you need is a wireless router as well.
[15:33] <Guest23089> i some problems with syslinux,,,not work..
[15:34] <usr13> malik_: But would have to know a bit more about the specific's of how you actually connect.
[15:34] <Abhijit> !details | Guest23089,
[15:35] <usr13> malik_: In other words, you can do ICS through the LAN port of your PC, but from there, you'll prolly need a WiFi router plugged into it in order to do exactly what you request.
[15:36] <malik_> usr13,  I connecto to the WLAN by right clikcing the Network Icon and choose Hidden Network, Type in the SSID and Secure Key for WPA2 Personal, Then i use pppoeconfing to connect through pppoe using my user account/password.
[15:36] <usr13> malik_: But your statement of the situation is not clear.
[15:36] <Nikita19> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1499909/
[15:36] <Nikita19> my issue
[15:36] <Nikita19> :(
[15:36] <atlef> try xubuntu or lubuntu
[15:36] <usr13> malik_: Ok, if that is the way you connect, then yes, what I said is correct.
[15:37] <malik_> usr13,  i need to do a 'sudo pon dsl-provider' at the start of every session after WLAN is connected.
[15:37] <Abhijit> nikis, describe it here and include the link as well. do not give only the link.
[15:37] <Abhijit> Nikita19,  describe it here and include the link as well. do not give only the link.
[15:37] <k1l> Nikita19: dont go with wubi. make a real instllation on seperate partitions
[15:38] <Guest23089> my pendrive not load anymore syslinux now...only grub,,,,,,i need this load if not load a distro linux..
[15:38] <usr13> malik_: Connect via your Desktop, share it over the LAN port, plug a WiFi router into the LAN port and share from there to your other WiFi devices.
[15:38] <malik_> OK, then thank you for your help. I will try this and get back if i have to ask further question..
[15:38] <k1l> Nikita19: but if you consider a lightwight desktop you should try lubuntu
[15:38] <Guest23089> how i repair it_
[15:38] <malik_> OK, that was my concern . Can't i use a WLAN USB Stick  to act as an access point ?
[15:39] <malik_> and provider internet to other devices?
[15:39] <usr13> malik_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[15:39] <themhz> is there any software for ubuntu so I can use to check if a set of vectors are subspace of another set? Or in general is there any software that I can use to do vector calculations ?
[15:40] <bushy> Haven't used this box in a while, just booted today and it cannot do an update.  Any suggestions?
[15:40] <Abhijit> themhz, have you tried matlab? there is matlab equivalent for linux
[15:40] <sw> !search vector | themhz
[15:40] <themhz> Abhijit, no I am not aware of it
[15:40] <usr13> malik_: You can use a WLAN USB Stick as an access point if it has access point mode, (AP mode).  But I doubt seriousl that it does, (most dont).
[15:40] <Nikita> I logged out anyways repeating my question
[15:40] <sw> !search matlab
[15:40] <sw> !matlab
[15:40] <atlef> bushy, what errors do you get when you sudo apt-get update?
[15:41] <bushy> I can post them
[15:41] <Nikita> is ubuntu memory hogging while running iso version
[15:41] <Nikita> or its not hogging my memory because 7 takes upto 80%
[15:41] <usr13> malik_: It may have ad-hoc mode and you can use that for one-to-one.
[15:41] <atlef> !pastebin | bushy
[15:41] <themhz> sw thank you
[15:41] <Nikita> !search wow
[15:41] <usr13> malik_: In other words, you could connect with one other device in ad-hoc mode.
[15:41] <themhz> Abhijit,  thank you I will check matlab
[15:41] <sw> no problem
[15:42] <Nikita> !help
[15:42] <Nikita> !patience
[15:42] <Abhijit> themhz, try mathematica, scilab and gnu octave
[15:43] <magma> I have 6 machines inter-connected through a 1Gb LAN network, how can I make authentication centralized?
[15:43] <themhz> Abhijit,  ok i noted it down thank you again
[15:44] <usr13> malik_: By the implementation of pppoe, your school is purposfully limiting device connections to one per student.
[15:45] <Nikita> @magme RADIUS

[15:53] <kanha> Nikita: oh :)
[15:53] <Abhijit> Guest23089, sorry this one -  cat /etc/*-release
[15:53] <Nikita> kanha: my only experience in linux is CentOS 5,6 that too on a server with IPMIKVM
[15:53] <kylescottmcgill> Has anyone ever trialed a USB 3 video output card on ubuntu? im running Ubuntu 12.10 on a macbook, and wondering if i can get another monitor to do my bidding
[15:54] <CarlFK> Nikita: read my "what distro" on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CarlKarsten
[15:54] <nick13371992> hi i have a problem, i have installed ubuntu from wubi and now when i want to start Ubuntu there's an error -  C:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mdr couldn't be opened
[15:54] <kanha> Nikita: well since you have less ram so give 4gb of swap area.This swap area will be used almost like ram when your complete space of ram that 1gb is in used..

[15:55] <dcope> how can i change my trackpad driver?
[15:55] <nick13371992> hi i have a problem, i have installed ubuntu from wubi and now when i want to start Ubuntu there's an error -  C:\ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mdr couldn't be opened
[15:55] <dinosaurvskitten> I recently installed ubuntu on my macbook air, and have been having problems with the trackpad being way too sensitive (I keep getting spurious clicks, right clicks often turn into movements or left clicks, etc.). Is there a simple way to fix this?
[15:55] <kanha> Nikita: so you can go with ubuntu 12.10 its minimum requirement is 768 mb ram and 5gb harddisk space.
[15:55] <k1l> nick13371992: dont use wubi. make a real installationa
[15:56] <Nikita> kanha: downloading 12.04 coz i read it needs 512mb
[15:56] <pioj> hi. How can I kill the process  DiskUtility comes from?
[15:56] <kanha> Nikita: it's also good but give swap space too will be useful for your work :)
[15:57] <pioj> It seems Ive hang the program someway
[15:57] <Nikita> kanha: sad part is i have a 4GB Ram lying in my bedroom cant install it coz it would void the warranty :P
[15:57] <Hank___> Hi
[15:58] <kanha> Nikita: then keep your 4gb ram at rest :P
[15:58] <nick13371992> can i install Ubuntu from External Disc?
[15:58] <CarlFK> Nikita: once the box is a few weeks old, void the warranty.  chance of you needing it is low, value of upgrading the ram is high.
[15:58] <Hank___> I installed the recent ubuntu (12.10) with all recent patches to a Lifebook A512
[15:58] <Hank___> I'm still having problem with two things:
[15:58] <Hank___> 1) tocuhpad which is detected as PS2
[15:59] <Hank___> 2) controlling the brightness of LCD with FN+F6/F7
[15:59] <nick13371992> can i install Ubuntu from External Disc?
[15:59] <magma> I have 6 machines on a cluster. Is it possible to write a script to execute a command on each one of them through ssh ?
[15:59] <Hank___> I found a new psmouse driver but there is no instruction how to compile it
[16:00] <sargennto> Can anybody point me in the right direction with installing a Lexmark all-in-one printer? I can't seem to find much information via google. And the info I do find is from 2010 or older.. Thanks
[16:00] <Nikita> Thanks @ CarlFK & Kanha for your help See ya in 1hr once the iso is downloaded ^^
[16:00] <nick13371992> can i install Ubuntu from External Disc?
[16:00] <atlef> !install | nick13371992
[16:00] <Hank___> atlef:  :-)
[16:00] <xana40> nick are you talking about a usb device
[16:00] <kanha> Nikita: welcome ;)
[16:01] <retrofan> Hank___ : isnt were an Readme file in the packet ?
[16:01] <pioj> How can I call DiskUtility?
[16:01] <pioj> not call, Kill, sorry
[16:01] <pioj> It looks frozen
[16:01] <rumpel> magma, for i in some servers; do ssh user@server command ; done   ... or something like that
[16:02] <Hank___> retrofan, There was, but no instruction about compillation just deep technical information. Usual make  or make all does not work as there is no such target
[16:02] <Hank___> there is a Makefile also
[16:02] <llutz> !info cssh | magma
[16:02] <Hank___> I can show you the link, you may have better knowledge:
[16:02] <llutz> !info clusterssh | magma
[16:02] <retrofan> tried ./configure ?
[16:02] <Hank___> retrofan, http://www.dahetral.com/public-download/psmouse-alps-dst-1.2.tbz/view
[16:03] <Hank___> retrofan, Yes, but there is no configure  that would create the necessary things
[16:03] <Hank___> also it is possible the linux-source is missing
[16:03] <Hank___> I mean the kernel source
[16:03] <magma> rumpel: can I put there various commands, instead of just one?
[16:03] <Hank___> what is the soruce kernel package name in Ubuntu?
[16:03] <magma> ubuntulog: I will check that out
[16:04] <Hank___> never mind, linux-source is the kernel source
[16:05] <retrofan> there is an file named alps.sh did you tried to execute it ?
[16:05] <rumpel> magma, it's just a loop. Sure. and it's probably more like    for i in some servers; do ssh user@$i command ; done    hm... play around with it.
[16:05] <Hank___> retrofan, not, yet. I can try it
[16:05] <magma> nice
[16:06] <llutz> magma: how to use it http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/413853:managing-multiple-linux-servers-with-clusterssh
[16:07] <llutz> magma: main drawback is that it needs X
[16:07] <magma> llutz: that's not exactly what I was looking for. That seems that I have still to run my command in each ssh window
[16:07] <magma> yes I don't have X also
[16:07] <Hank___> retrofan, so it gives several options, not sure what I should choose to compile the pmouse
[16:07] <llutz> magma: no, you run it once in the cssh window, and it will be executed on all hosts in your cluster
[16:08] <magma> oh ok
[16:08] <Hank___> retrofan, also not sure why qemu is in that
[16:08] <llutz> magma: but still, it needs xterm
[16:09] <llutz> !info pssh | magma this might do for you without X
[16:10] <Hank___> retrofan, kernel sources, headers are necessary
[16:10] <Hank___> I think
[16:10] <devvrat> hiii
[16:10] <Aeyoun> Hi. I have a problem with packaging. My debian/upstart file is not copied into the build-area (where dh_installinit expects it to be). All other files from debian/* is copied over as expectd. Any idea? Verbose output does not give me any more hints.
[16:10] <devvrat> how to root the ubuntu??
[16:10] <llutz> !root | devvrat
[16:11] <usr13> Aeyoun: What version of Ubuntu do you have?
[16:11] <Aeyoun> usr13, 12.12
[16:12] <Aeyoun> I added some more debug code to dh_lib to verify that it does indeed not find debian/upstart and that it does look for it. Have also monitored fs activity and verified that the file is never put into the build-area.
[16:12] <usr13> devvrat: See my PM.
[16:12] <usr13> Aeyoun: lsb_release -a
[16:13] <set_killer> hey, guys. I am trying to configure the networking interface on ubuntu server 12.04 (hosted on virtualbox). I set up /etc/networking/interfaces and when when i try ifup eth0  everything is okey. But when i restart the machine, there is no eth0 in ifconfig.
[16:13] <Aeyoun> usr13: 12.10, I'm sorry. we just shipped 12.12 (different software) at work. :-)
[16:13] <bekks> set_killer: So which interface is there after a reboot?
[16:13] <bekks> set_killer: ifconfig -a
[16:14] <set_killer> eth1
[16:14] <usr13> set_killer: If it is not actively connected, it will not show up unless you give command ifconfig eth0
[16:14] <limac> hi I need some help installing boost on ubuntu
[16:14] <Hank___> retrofan, ok. I could compile. Thansk for the idea. Now I can see the touchpad in the system settings
[16:14] <Hank___> however there is no effect on that yet. :(
[16:15] <Hank___> I have another general question
[16:15] <limac> after following this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1180792 I keep getting the error that "boost/filesystem.hpp: No such file or directory|"
[16:15] <bekks> usr13: Which is not true when the interface eth0 is gone and is named eth1 now.
[16:15] <bekks> set_killer: Then configure eth1 instead of eth0
[16:15] <Hank___> the LCD brightness should be able set by pressing FN+F6/F7
[16:15] <usr13> bekks: That is another possibility
[16:15] <Vyom> Hi everyone. Nice using Ubuntu from a few days. Well, but there are sometimes when it gets stuck just before login screen appears. Dont know if that's normal!
[16:16] <Hank___> for me the FN+F4 controlling this together disabling/enabling mouse continuously
[16:16] <Hank___> and only decreasing the brightness
[16:16] <Coffeecoco> i think interface changing like that has something todo with the driver/module getting added/removed
[16:16] <devvrat> how to install .deb files
[16:16] <Hank___> I have not found option to setup the right layout
[16:16] <set_killer> bekks: i've tried, but again. eth1 is not UP on startup
[16:16] <Coffeecoco> it happens to me if i add and remove in wrong order
[16:16] <bekks> set_killer: Then check again using ifconfig -a
[16:17] <atlef> !deb | devvrat
[16:17] <Aeyoun> devvrat: sudo dpkg -i file.deb -- google knows this stuff too. :-)
[16:17] <devvrat> not working
[16:17] <devvrat> okkk
[16:17] <Aeyoun> Maybe the package is broken.
[16:17] <set_killer> bekks: i have found that http://pingbin.com/2011/02/ubuntu-eth0-missing-after-reboot/
[16:17] <Hank___> devvrat, no dpkg or it does not work
[16:18] <Hank___> ?
[16:18] <bwellsnc> I figured I would ask this in here, I have a motorola razr hd and I am needing to connect this to my machine.  I have followed the documents on xda-developers, and none of these have worked.  The mtpfs option is the only option on this phone.  I have been told that the problem in the android channel that it's because linux is trailing to far behind on MTPFS.
[16:18] <devvrat> dpkg dosent working
[16:19] <Aeyoun> devvrat: any error messages?
[16:19] <set_killer> bekks: will it help?
[16:19] <bekks> set_killer: Then try it.
[16:19] <usr13> set_killer: That article is too old to be useful. Disregard
[16:20] <nullby7e> where is inittab in 12.10
[16:20] <nullby7e> ?
[16:20] <bekks> usr13: Which is not true again.
[16:20] <bekks> usr13: persistent net rules is exactly ONE current reason for a renamed eth0 interface.
[16:20] <bekks> set_killer: I'd give it a shot.
[16:21] <set_killer> okey :)
[16:22] <magma> thnaks llutz I will check that out
[16:23] <devvrat> ubuntu working slow ....any reasion??
[16:24] <ubuntu___> no
[16:24] <usr13> bekks: You are correct
[16:24] <atlef> devvrat, full install, wubi, vbox or?
[16:24] <WHO_A_HOE> i am not in ubuntu but i am having issues with alsa and i can't join the ##linux because when i type #linux it comes out ##linux
[16:24] <magik_> if your using wubi devvrat it's gonna be slow.
[16:24] <set_killer> bekks: mmm, it didn't helped
[16:24] <devvrat> full install
[16:24] <bhavesh> devvrat: 12.04, 12.10, DE?
[16:25] <devvrat> 12.10
[16:25] <set_killer> bekks: the MAC address is static, however
[16:25] <Aeyoun> Is devvrat an auto-troll? His behaviour is erratic and focus span seems to be only a minute.
[16:25] <BluesKaj> devvrat, file indexewr on ?
[16:25] <devvrat> whats that
[16:25] <usr13> bekks: But there is probably another reason for the problem he encountered.
[16:25] <bhavesh> devvrat: Unity on 12.10 tends to be slower than 12.04
[16:25] <devvrat> i m just new user
[16:25] <ti89breh> is there any way to donate to users who have helped you resolve serious problems with ubuntu that could have hurt your business if not for their help
[16:25] <devvrat> i downt know any thing
[16:25] <zakkotron> how to install gtk latest version
[16:25] <seednode> ti89breh: Send them Bitcoins ^^
[16:25] <nullby7e> where is inittab in ubuntu?
[16:26] <usr13> bekks: So you had him barking up the wrong tree.
[16:26] <nomike> ti89breh, send the money to me, I will take care of the rest
[16:26] <Aeyoun> ti89breh, ask for their amazon wishlist. :-)
[16:26] <Coffeecoco> bitcoins hehe
[16:26] <ti89breh> usr13, ^^ do you have bitcoin
[16:26] <Coffeecoco> is that the new currency?
[16:26] <nomike> ti89breh, ;-)
[16:26] <WHO_A_HOE> so i'm screwed
[16:26] <ti89breh> hahah nomike sounds good to me
[16:26] <philinux> bwellsnc: have you got mtpfs installed on your machine?
[16:26] <usr13> ti89breh: NO, what is a bitcoin?
[16:26] <Coffeecoco> its virtual money used to buy drugs :P lawl
[16:27] <ti89breh> usr13, remember you helped me resolve a problem with my /home dir not mounting? do you have paypal ?
[16:27] <seednode> ti89breh: But yeah, you could (depending on interests) gift them a Steam game they want, order them something they want from Amazon/ebay to a PO box
[16:27] <bekks> usr13: Yes, but with a totally legitimate reason - and because YOUR reason for not barking up that tree was simply wrong, which you admitted. So let's move on now.
[16:27] <bhavesh> devvrat: Unity, the default Desktop Environment tends to run "a lot" slower on Ubuntu 12.10 as compared to 12.04, If its unacceptably slow, try using Gnome Shell instead.
[16:27] <usr13> ti89breh: haha  ok yea.
[16:27] <Coffeecoco> i appologise it can be used for legit purpose
[16:27] <k1l> WHO_A_HOE: ask in #freenode if you have problems with the freenode network
[16:27] <devvrat> tring...and thanks
[16:28] <atlef> philinux, thx, did not know about that one
[16:28] <ti89breh> pm ;-)
[16:28] <WHO_A_HOE> ok
[16:28] <seednode> Coffeecoco: Fair enough, but it's commonly accepted that drugs and other illicit orders dominate the BTC usage
[16:28] <usr13> ti89breh: See my PM.
[16:28] <Coffeecoco> seednode of coarse :) not that i do it
[16:28] <magik_> bhavesh, Can you still run gnome on 12.10 64bit?
[16:28] <philinux> atlef: not sure if it installed by default or I installed it. It's in the repo but I've slept since
[16:28] <seednode> Someone gifted me 2BTC for Christmas
[16:28] <seednode> It was nice
[16:29] <Coffeecoco> but i think the bitcoint thing is good as long as its not exploited or anything
[16:29] <bhavesh> magik_: ? You mean to say gnome-shell?
[16:29] <bhavesh> magik_: Why won't you be able to?
[16:29] <magik_> bhavesh, yeah
[16:29] <bhavesh> magik_: yes
[16:29] <Aeyoun> user82, any idea about my packaging problem? I have kind of hit a dead end and don't know where to turn.
[16:30] <magik_> bhavesh, I thought I remember reading in some forum someone said if you been using unity and goto gnome you might run into some configuration problems is that true
[16:30] <ti89breh> sent $5,000 thks again for helping me resolve the issue
[16:30] <bhavesh> magik_: Well, i haven't experienced any such problem
[16:30] <Coffeecoco> ti89breh lol
[16:30] <usr13> Aeyoun: Not sure.  Don't have enough information.  But there are some things you can try.  apt-get install -f
[16:31] <atlef> philinux, i had problems connecting my phone, now it is solved after installing it, so thx
[16:31] <magik_> bhavesh, well I'm using 12.10 64bit I've used gnome shell before but if I switch now is it going to affect anything I should be aware about?
[16:31] <magik_> bhavesh, I meant I used gnome shell on a different cpu haven't tried on this one.
[16:31] <bhavesh> magik_: Nope.
[16:31] <usr13> Aeyoun: apt-get update
[16:32] <magik_> Well I might switch back to gnome then because I like Unity but I can't stand the login screen and having to change remote users uid to under 1000 to hide them kind of a annoyance.
[16:33] <set_killer> hhmmm guys, do i need ethtools or something like that ?
[16:33] <philinux> atlef: I must have done the same thing last year then lol
[16:33] <Hank___> back
[16:33] <bekks> set_killer: I'd doublecheck the config.
[16:33] <Hank___> still touchpad problem... Lifebook A512
[16:34] <Hank___> there is an area both bottom and right to scrolling screen
[16:34] <Hank___> but it does not work
[16:34] <Hank___> I can  now see the settings too for touchpad
[16:35] <Hank___> but there is no effect of the scroll area
[16:35] <user82> Aeyoun, packing?
[16:35] <set_killer> bekks: /etc/networking/interfaces is okey and  'ifup eth0' reads that file and then i have internet. But should i run ifup eth0 everytime after restart
[16:36] <speedmastery> sorry but is this a help channel for ubuntu
[16:36] <set_killer> speedmastery: yes
[16:36] <set_killer> speedmastery: ask anything you want
[16:37] <speedmastery> i have really massive problem installing nvidia driver for gtx 560ti  spent  my hole day reading and trying but nothing worked
[16:38] <usr13> speedmastery: Did you get the correct software from nvidia.com  ?
[16:38] <Coffeecoco> speedmastery did you do what i usually do, spend the day on it, the time litterally flew, you realise its bed time?
[16:38] <usr13> speedmastery: Did you use jockey-gtk ?
[16:39] <kunji> I have an obnoxious wireless issue.  I'm not sure if it is because of my new router, or a kernel update or something else.  The machine is running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit Kernel 3.2.0-35-generic and the wireless device is a Realtek RTL8191SEvA, after a seemingly random amount of time the wireless stops working and also seems to stop the wireless from working for the entire band (the router does 2.4 and 5 GHz).  Disconnecting and reconnecting on the machine lets ever
[16:39] <speedmastery> i installed linux source header  did run source update and  driver show in additional driver tap but when i aktivate them dont work
[16:39] <usr13> brb
[16:40] <bhavesh> bah, still an hour left to complete 12.04 download :(
[16:41] <user82> speedmastery, do you have the log from the installation? you can also get it by opening a terminal and run "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current"
[16:42] <Aeyoun> user82, yes, I am trying to make a new debian package. not install an existing. I have got the whole process working except that this one upstart file is not copied over to the build-area/*/debian folder along with the other files.
[16:43] <user82> ok Aeyoun cannot help you there sorry...
[16:43] <pip__> Hi.  If I install from the Precise mini iso & then add xubuntu desktop do I get 5 years of support?
[16:43] <speedmastery> i am bretty  new in ubuntu and i dont speak english to well so it could get a bit heavy where to i find som logs
[16:44] <user82> speedmastery, just open the terminal. then run "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current". then post all the text here
[16:44] <atlef> speedmastery, there are a lot of differnt language channels
[16:44] <user82> there should be a detailed report of the error in there then
[16:44] <speedmastery> atlef how to i change to the german channel
[16:45] <atlef> !de
[16:46] <speedmastery> user 82  i was trying to update to nvidia current update i did repo update and i even se 310.xx and 313.xxx
[16:46] <atlef> speedmastery, that said, we will try to help you, but it might be easier using native language
[16:46] <speedmastery> i have a gtx560 and there are some issues with full gpu support
