[00:03] <syncsys> i cant install software  like wine and skype in latest kubuntu x64 http://www.pastebin.ca/2296448
[00:06] <dr_willis> can you install ANY software at all? like 'sudo apt-get install cowsay' ?
[00:07] <k-stz> can someone tell me some suggestion to fix bad sound in zsnes
[00:09] <Alviss> join #ubuntu
[00:10] <dr_willis> k-stz:  try changeing the sound outputs from alsa, to pulse, or visa-versa perhaps
[00:10] <rizzo> Did you change any settings in the emulator?
[00:10] <dr_willis> zsnes is also a good but very old emulator. it may have some issues with pulse audio
[00:11] <rizzo> Lowering the sample rate will produce 'bad sound'.
[00:13] <syncsys>  i was using local server
 when i switch to u.s server. its showing updates.
 isnt ubuntu servers supposed to be sync
[00:15] <k-stz> rizzo: 32000hz sample as default setting in 12.04LTS, changing to 44100hz, (which sounds more familiar anyone?), so thx for that
[00:15] <NuSuey> any advice how can I set my "performance" settings in 12.10? I mean, I had the option before in some previous ubuntu.. like to set .. full performance.. or power saving settings..
[00:16] <NuSuey> my gpu is quite hot on my laptop when I'm using ubuntu.. so I would love to be able to change that :)
[00:16] <NuSuey> any advice?
[00:16] <k-stz> NuSuey: i suggest turning of compiz effects
[00:16] <Kion1> ouyes I was until now
[00:16] <Kion1> I am just upgrading
[00:17] <watchtower> hi does anyone now of any plans for ubuntu  to make their own phone i know they have done the ubuntu for android but was wondering if they had any plans to make a phone
[00:17] <NuSuey> k-stz: haven't used the 12.10 .. soo how can I easily disable compiz?
[00:17] <NuSuey> *effects
[00:18] <dr_willis> watchtower:  just rumors   - i will belive it when i see it in stores.
[00:18] <dr_willis> NuSuey:  use some other desktop like lubuntu, or xubuntu, that dosent use compiz is one way
[00:19] <NuSuey> dr_willis: can't I just install some other shell (like fluxbox) and just logon to that?
[00:19] <watchtower> OK thanks
[00:19] <NuSuey> *desktop
[00:19] <dr_willis> NuSuey:  if you want.
[00:19] <dr_willis> NuSuey:  thats exactly what i suggested. ;) basically
[00:19] <rizzo> No, you suggested he ditch his current system :P
[00:20] <NuSuey> dr_willis: ok, will do that. But can't I somehow change the "performance" settings? I feel that my laptop goes "FULL PERFORMANCE" even when I'm not doing anythings
[00:20] <NuSuey> *anything
[00:20] <syncsys>  anyone on x64 and ruing skype or wine?
[00:20] <dr_willis> i dont mess with the power-mode/cpu mode settings much. But it may be an apci issue or bug if its going to the wrong modes.
[00:20] <dr_willis> !info lubuntu-desktop
[00:21] <Kion1> Merry Christmas to all the Ubuntu Community
[00:21] <syncsys> how to apt cache search?
[00:22] <picca> Merry Christmas Kion1
[00:22] <r4d1x> Santa didnt bring me working AMD drivers :(
[00:22] <picca> lol @ r4d1x
[00:23] <Kion1> Thanks picca MC to you too
[00:23] <NuSuey> dr_willis: well what could I do?
[00:24] <Kion1> r4d1x ¿does AMD not work well under linux?
[00:25] <r4d1x> without X it works fine
[00:26] <Kion1> If buying a new system to put ubuntu in it, is it better to go with an AMD video card or an Nvidia?
[00:26] <Kion1> All I know was Linus Trovalds video on Nvidia! jaj
[00:26] <r4d1x> I think as long as its not with integrated either is fine
[00:26] <XRS1> intel
[00:26] <fishhead> Go with nvidia but check for driver support
[00:27] <r4d1x> my issues stem from the integrated intel card on the cpu
[00:27] <XRS1> intel drivers actually work. unlike amd and nvidia
[00:27] <r4d1x> I think
[00:27] <Kion1> I have an Alienware and its Nvidia GTX260M never runs at full power under linux!
[00:27] <Kion1> that's why I feel more like trying AMD
[00:27] <r4d1x> except that all they do it output video, if you want and sort of acceleration you need amd or nvidia
[00:27] <dr_willis> NuSuey:  try out lubuntu, via installing the lubuntu-desktop package. it wont use compiz
[00:27] <XRS1> amd drivers are 100% broken at the moment
[00:28] <r4d1x> there has been mixed success with 12.11
[00:28] <r4d1x> problem is X seeing that I have intel and AMD and thinking that its needs to use switcharoo
[00:28] <dr_willis> Kion1:  i would avoid ati/amd.. stick with nvidia if you need the gpu power. intel if you dont.
[00:28] <dr_willis> Kion1:  those dual-gpu-optimus systems are also a major cause of problems at this time
[00:29] <XRS1> intel GMA chipset runs faster than nvidia and amd chips with the current drivers
[00:29] <Kion1> Yes I will buy some powerfull video card, just wondered what should work best
[00:29] <r4d1x> but it provides limited opencl which is what I need :(
[00:29] <XRS1> dont waste your money on a powerfull card unless you are going to run windows
[00:29] <dr_willis> Kion1:  i find older nvidia cards, (from like 6+mo to a year ago release) are the most stable.
[00:29] <fishhead> if you get a comp with amd ati check for driver support first
[00:30] <dr_willis> Kion1:  i dont see the point in a $300+ video card on ubuntu.
[00:30] <Kion1> XRS1 I do use it for GPU computations
[00:31] <dr_willis> Kion1:  it would depend on what software you are using for thaat 'GPU Computations' i imagine then. if thats your main goal
[00:31] <XRS1> its a sad state of affairs when the cheapest Intel chips run circles around AMD and nVidia cards and chips
[00:31] <r4d1x> good deflection
[00:32] <Kion1> yes,  I ocasionally use it for games, but mostly GPU processing power and 3D modelling
[00:32] <dr_willis> I see quite a few issues in here with Intel cards.
[00:32] <dr_willis> but thisis the place people come when they do have issues. ;)
[00:32] <dr_willis> so its a little biased going by what you see in here.
[00:32] <XRS1> is there any one in here with working AMD drivers on 12.10?
[00:33] <r4d1x> better than the mint channel, just a bunch of kids googling obvious answers
[00:34] <dr_willis> Just be glad you dont have a SiS video card. ;)
[00:35] <XRS1> is there still such a thing?
[00:35] <dr_willis> I see 3-4 people in here weekly with them and having issues.
[00:35] <XRS1> that was my first 3d chip  :P
[00:36] <dr_willis> I rember when Matrox was a big name..  :P
[00:36] <r4d1x> 3dfx
[00:36] <dr_willis> back when '2d Acelleration' was  the buzz word.
[00:36] <dr_willis> PhysX ;)
[00:38] <XRS1> any way, i get "Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: text/html decoder" when i try to play an .mp4 from a PHP page. the file works fine when i watch it from folder or youtube.   any ideas why it wont play? <embed src="http://xrs.no-ip.biz/downloads/metro.mp4">
[00:49] <hyde> my mouse right click is not working in ubuntu 12.04, any ideas?
[00:49] <XRS1> restart?
[00:49] <XRS1> has it ever worked?
[00:49] <hyde> restart would not work
[00:49] <hyde> yes
[00:50] <XRS1> what has changed since?
[00:50] <hyde> if I know, why would I ask?
[00:50] <dr_willis> Cat chewed on the wire>?
[00:50] <angelpossum> merry christmas every one
[00:50] <XRS1> (and it feels like the button is pressing?)
[00:50] <hyde> no
[00:51] <XRS1> well you should feel it if your looking for the click. if not, its prolly broked
[00:51] <hyde> keyboard right click is working
[00:51] <hyde> must be some misconfiguration by mistake before
[00:53] <dr_willis> could seeif the right click regiesters in the console after installing 'gpm' and seeif it works for a newly made user.
[00:53] <dr_willis> could also run xev and click in its window and see if the right clicks regiester
[00:54] <hyde> for xev, I could see activities when left click mouse, but nothing shows up when right-clicking
[00:55] <hyde> I could not find a place in ubuntu where to enable mouse right click
[00:55] <dr_willis> Hmm. that would point to the button being broken i would think.
[00:55] <dr_willis> Ultimate test would be to try a live cd and see if it works there
[00:56] <XRS1> ^^
[00:56] <dr_willis> in not sure how it could NOT be showing in xev.  since xev reportss the lowest level of inputs.
[01:00] <logun> Hi I'm using ubuntu 10.10 while clicking "reload" button in synaptic package manager I'm getting a error message that

[01:01] <logun> Hi I'm using ubuntu 10.10 while clicking "reload" button in synaptic package manager I'm getting a error message that
[01:01] <logun> The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored."
[01:01] <OerHeks> 10.10 is end of life, logun , so upgrade to a supported versions is the solution
[01:02] <logun> 0erHeks, cant we update only the synaptic
[01:03] <IdleOne> !eolupgrades | logun
[01:04] <OerHeks> logun you can add "old-releases"  to the repo's,  but that will give you the latest fixes up to april 2012
[01:05] <OerHeks> see usrl from ubottu
[01:07] <syncsys> dr_willis, working with the u.s upgrade not with local server.
[01:14] <XRS1> okay google says i need rhythembox and python to make error ""Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: text/html decoder" go away. well i already have totem and python. everything works fine untill i <embed src="http://xrs.no-ip.biz/downloads/metro.mp4"></embed> in PHP page
[01:15] <XRS1> #php and #python fault ubuntu
[01:22] <logun> #lfs-support
[01:24] <XRS1> ?
[01:27] <Kion1> hyde maybe your mouse is not functioning properly
[01:33] <Kion1> I am upgrading from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10, The download seems incredibly long!
[01:38] <daftykins> Kion1: maybe you're just excited
[01:39] <isa> Marry Christmast
 I guess...!
[01:41] <Kion1> daftykins I dont even know what changed between the two
[01:41] <daftykins> Kion1: mmm i can't say either i'm afraid, i'm sure it's in the release notes
[01:41] <isa> I'm sorry I mean Merry Christmas
[01:41] <XRS1> a few nice fixes and a lot of added bugs  :P
[01:42] <isa> Sorry Sorry. Hahahaha
[01:42] <Kion1> XRS1 That is what I was afraid of
[01:42] <bobweaver> text/html << mimetype
[01:42] <Kion1> And the reason I held the change so much
[01:42] <Kion1> my system was working perfectly
[01:42] <daftykins> Kion1: why change then? :)
[01:44] <Kion1> daftykins I just wanted to have the latest version of my OS
[01:44] <daftykins> ah
[01:44] <crazybrain1> how to install dark-mint theme?
[01:44] <bobweaver> !mint
[01:44] <Kion1> daftykins I am the type of guy that is not afraid of breaking things in my system
[01:46] <crazybrain1> it shows unable to locate packages
[01:46] <daftykins> Kion1: yarr
[01:46]  * XRS1 recommends enabling proposed updates
[01:46] <bobweaver> lol
[01:47] <Raspootis> How does 12.10 do with exFAT file systems? I'm looking for a good filesystem to use on an external hard drive with operability between OS X/Windows/Ubuntu
[01:49] <usr13> Raspootis: Just fine.
[01:49] <usr13> Raspootis: Wait, exFAT?  Is that same as VFAT?
[01:49] <Raspootis> IT'
[01:50] <compdoc> never heard of exfat
[01:50] <eristikophiles> so like, i have a bit of an odd problem. i get the 'pipes failed: too many open files in system' error in the shell, but when i try to use any of the commands that i found by googling on how to fix it, they also fail due to the same error. so it seems i can't actually fix it without it being fixed. anyone know of a way to work around that?
[01:50] <Raspootis> It's a propietary filesystem by Microsoft, designed for use with flash media
[01:50] <ring0> exfat != vfat
[01:50] <bobweaver> (Extended File Allocation Table
[01:50] <compdoc> yeah, thats a good choice for a hard drive. not
[01:51] <usr13> compdoc: What?
[01:51] <bh> Can anyone refer me to a good article on configuring postfix on unbuntu? Their documentation is a bit opaque if you're unfamiliar with their vocabulary
[01:52] <leo2007> how to fix this obscure error? http://bpaste.net/show/v5107FOm7qeF6p5AC7KK
[01:52] <usr13> Raspootis: Yea, I think exFAT is ok.
[01:52] <Kion1> daftykins And because of that, from time to tiem I end up with self inposed pain JAJA, And that is the way in which I have learned this wonderfull OS
[01:52] <Raspootis> compdoc: some would suggest FAT, but FAT is limited to 4GB files
[01:53] <XRS1> eristikophiles:  try a live disk
[01:53] <daftykins> Kion1: oh yeah, gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette
[01:53] <bobweaver> !postfix | leo2007, you have read these ?
[01:54] <leo2007> I am new to debian system like ubuntu. but familiar with redhat
[01:54] <bobweaver> !MailServer >> leo2007
[01:54] <leo2007> what?
[01:54] <eristikophiles> hm. i suppose. i never got this error before though, so it seems if i just reboot it'd go away almost. but i was hoping to fix it with the system still running
[01:54] <Mahmoud> hi -- how to send CR in netcat?
[01:54] <eristikophiles> unfortunately i can't open anything or run anything in shell
[01:55] <usr13> Raspootis: Yea, exFAT is fine as far as I can tell.  (Just did a little research and it looks like its a go..)
[01:55] <bobweaver> !mailserver  >> leo2007
[01:55] <bobweaver> er
[01:56] <bobweaver> !mailserver
[01:56] <leo2007> bobweaver: do you understand english?
[01:56] <bobweaver> nope , what are you tring to configure in postfix ?
[01:58] <bobweaver> eristikophiles,  you can not press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to tty ?
[01:59] <Raspootis> ech, it seems that exFAT works in Ubuntu under FUSE
[01:59] <Raspootis> maybe plain FAT would be better
[01:59] <XRS1> FAT16 would not work
[02:00] <Raspootis> FAT32 is the most commonly used FAT system
[02:00] <leo2007> bobweaver: postfix is not in my question? you might have misread someone else's.
[02:01] <bh> leo2007: that's me
[02:01] <leo2007> bh: yeah, I was completely lost for a while.
[02:01] <bh> bobweaver: I just want to accept e-mail for existing users on some domain and then use .forward to redirect it if necessary
[02:04] <bobweaver>  leo2007  you where not the only one
[02:04] <bobweaver> leo2007,  what is going on with init.d thingy ?
[02:05] <leo2007> I have fixed it.
[02:05] <usr13> Raspootis: Ah, yea.  I see that you have to install the fuse-exfat and the exfat-utils packages:
[02:07] <usr13> Raspootis: Yea, vfat (or fat32), is what most all usb drives come with, so.... if you can work with fat32, yer prolly better off.
[02:08] <Raspootis> Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet should I have any media files over 4GB
[02:08] <usr13> Raspootis: So, why not just install the fuse-exfat and the exfat-utils packages?
[02:09] <Raspootis> This ubuntu system is pretty bare with hardware (1GB ram), and I plan to be running programs off of the drive, so speed will be the concern
[02:10] <eristikophiles> so yeah, rebooting fixed the issue (for now anyway) .. but i have no idea what was wrong still. ulimit -a shows that there is in fact no limit on the number of files i can have open
[02:12] <usr13> eristikophiles:  grep ^[^#]  /etc/security/limits.conf
[02:13] <usr13> eristikophiles: But.. how about root?
[02:13] <eristikophiles> it says 'no matches found: ^[^#]'
[02:14] <usr13> eristikophiles: That's good....
[02:14] <eristikophiles> you think that while my regular username has unlimited files root won't?
[02:15] <eristikophiles> yeah that whole file is comments btw
[02:15] <eristikophiles> there doesn't seem to be any actual lines without a # in front
[02:16] <usr13> eristikophiles: yea, we confirmed it was all comments with the above command.
[02:16] <usr13> eristikophiles:  grep ^[^#]  /etc/security/limits.conf
[02:16] <eristikophiles> i wasn't sure what that search parameter does.. i don't know awk/sed wildcards
[02:17] <usr13> df
[02:22] <eristikophiles> anyway thanks. i guess this is just one bug i have to not worry over too much. never happened before and rebooting fixed it
[02:22] <SolarisBoy> any line not beginning with #
[02:23] <SolarisBoy> ^begins [^negates]
[02:23] <granjknjkgea> how can I change my ubuntu 12.10 to boot into single-user mode?
[02:23] <eristikophiles> thanks SolarisBoy
[02:24] <SolarisBoy> yw eristikophiles
[02:24] <eristikophiles> granjknjkgea- if you don't already know how to do that, why do you want to always log in as root?
[02:24] <eristikophiles> (and thereby break the system more easily) :)
[02:24] <SolarisBoy> granjknjkgea: append single to the boot parameters
[02:25] <granjknjkgea> SolarisBoy: in grub?
[02:25] <SolarisBoy> granjknjkgea: yes
[02:25] <eristikophiles> that was maybe more helpful, but i still think that it's a bad idea. i used to log in as root in *nix at first then eventually i encountered problems. programs installing themselves and messing up system files. random accidents and mistakes causing me to have to do more to fix them than otherwise, that stuff
[02:26] <eristikophiles> k, nap time for me
[02:26] <granjknjkgea> SolarisBoy: that will bypass the password at boot up?
[02:26] <SolarisBoy> not sure can't remember but you said you want root right?
[02:26] <SolarisBoy> if not make init=/bin/sh
[02:27] <granjknjkgea> SolarisBoy: not necessarily root. I'd like to boot right into my desktop without being prompted for my password
[02:28] <SolarisBoy> that doesn't sound like you want single user mode then
[02:28] <granjknjkgea> maybe my terminology is off
[02:28] <SolarisBoy> you can do that without root or any run level switches
[02:28] <compdoc> thats actaully an option when you install Ubuntu
[02:28] <SolarisBoy> yes
[02:29] <granjknjkgea> compdoc: yeah initially I selected it, but I've changed my mind
[02:29] <mrabz> yeats ?
[02:29] <SolarisBoy> single user mode is also complete unrelated to it ;>
[02:29] <granjknjkgea> oh silly me
[02:33] <OerHeks> jakub, jakub_ jakub269 jakub394  jakub893 why so many clones?
[02:35] <robertzaccour> I plugged my laptop into my tv with an HDMI calbe and all I'm seeing on the tv is the wallpaper. Any suggestions?
[02:36] <granjknjkgea> robertzaccour: drag the window to the right
[02:36] <Pourya> ur TV acts as a second monitor….
[02:36] <granjknjkgea> robertzaccour: on your desktop that is. drag your desired window off screen to the right
[02:36] <robertzaccour> granjknjkgea, oh ok thanks
[02:37] <bobweaver> robertzaccour, ever think about Ubuntu tv mockup ?
[02:37] <robertzaccour> granjknjkgea, will it work for netflix? its fullscreen only
[02:37] <bkc_> robertzaccour: terminal => xrandr --output <external name, prob HDMI-something> --same-as <internal screen name>
[02:37] <Pourya> @robertzaccour If you want to have the same content you would have to go to the display options and enable mirorring…
[02:37] <granjknjkgea> do you launch it from a terminal?
[02:37] <robertzaccour> bobweaver, I don't know what you mean
[02:37] <bobweaver> netflicks-destop works great
[02:37] <bobweaver> robertzaccour,  what version of Ubuntu ?
[02:38] <robertzaccour> bobweaver, 12.10
[02:38] <granjknjkgea> robertzaccour: drag a terminal over to the right monitor and then launch the netflix app
[02:38] <bobweaver> not going to work then robertzaccour
[02:38] <bobweaver> robertzaccour,  I have a ppa for 12.04 though
[02:39] <bobweaver> ubuntu tv ^^
[02:39] <robertzaccour> granjknjkgea, oh ok, thanks bro
[02:39] <goddard> what does the +r mean on freenode?
[02:40] <bobweaver> robertzaccour,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfrm117Ukr0
[02:40] <bobweaver> that was 11.10 version
[02:40] <OptimizedCoder> join #c
[02:40] <bobweaver> robertzaccour,  I have sense added all mythplugins
[02:40] <robertzaccour> bobweaver, I use my tv as my tv haha
[02:41] <bobweaver> could have both as one haha
[02:41] <robertzaccour> bobweaver, but could plug it into my tv and be the same
[02:41] <robertzaccour> yeah true
[02:41] <bobweaver> why not just have one box that is dvr >/
[02:41] <bobweaver> ? *
[02:42] <bobweaver> robertzaccour,  are you thinking about dvr ?
[02:42] <bobweaver> like with a capture card at all  ?
[02:42] <robertzaccour> bobweaver, I already have DVR
[02:42] <bobweaver> robertzaccour,  myth ?  or some cable thingy ?
[02:42] <robertzaccour> bobweaver, I'd ask about it being a free DVR, but DVR is bundled in with the HD package so it'll make no difference in cost anyway
[02:43] <robertzaccour> bobweaver, cable tv
[02:43] <bobweaver> ahh
[02:43] <robertzaccour> If DVR was a separate item on the bill I'd try to get a free DVR setup with Ubuntu tv or whatnot
[02:44] <robertzaccour> gonna go watch netflix through my laptop on my tv, netflix ps3 app is down. thanks, later yall
[02:44] <robertzaccour> have fun
[02:44] <robertzaccour> be good
[02:44] <bobweaver> yeah there is alot things behind all that robertzaccour
[02:44] <bobweaver> you too
[02:46] <robertzaccour> just found another problem
[02:46] <robertzaccour> sound isn't going through the hdmi to my tv from my laptop
[02:46] <logun> Hi, how to recover the deleted shadow file
[02:47] <CarlFK> What is the package that gets me adobe flash in firefox?    flash-plugin-browser something
[02:48] <robertzaccour> bobweaver, Do you know how to get sound to the tv through the hdmi from the laptop?
[02:48] <bobweaver> nope

[02:50] <CarlFK> bobweaver: is that for me?
[02:50] <robertzaccour> Is there a way to set up sound in a 2nd monitor? thats what my tv would be
[02:50] <bobweaver> yeah CarlFK
[02:50] <CarlFK> thanks
[02:51] <bobweaver> robertzaccour,  I use a surround sound sorry
[02:51] <usr13> robertzaccour: Sound doesn't have much to do with a monitor.
[02:51] <stroodlepup> is there a package for tomee in ubuntu? a ppa maybe?
[02:52] <robertzaccour> usr13, for some reason its not going through the hdmi to the tv
[02:52] <robertzaccour> usr13, I'm having to do this workaround because the ps3 netflix app is down
[02:53] <usr13> o
[02:53] <robertzaccour> oh I figured it out
[02:53] <robertzaccour> had to change the audio profile
[02:53] <usr13> i c
[02:53] <bobweaver> I was wonder if it was that or the gfx card
[02:54] <robertzaccour> nope, just the audio profile :)
[02:54] <bobweaver> that is why I use surround sound ;) plus one remote one box for all
[02:54] <bobweaver> even my frontends(Not the big TV ) are only one remote
[02:55] <robertzaccour> ok gonna watch netflix now. been watching 'Til Death lately, great show
[02:55] <robertzaccour> later yall

[02:57] <dctrd> hey guys
[02:59] <yaben3amme> why isnt my bootable disk booting
[02:59] <yaben3amme> ?
[02:59] <yaben3amme> ive burnt it 2 times
[03:00] <yaben3amme> and fixed the bios and it isnt working'
[03:00] <bobweaver> yaben3amme,  you checked the md5sum ?
[03:00] <bobweaver> yaben3amme,  what happens and what are you trying to do ?
[03:00] <yaben3amme> i just want to boot the cd
[03:01] <yaben3amme> i burned the img file to a dvd
[03:01] <bobweaver> yaben3amme,  and you burnt cd of iso ?
[03:01] <yaben3amme> yes
[03:01] <bobweaver> good
[03:01] <bobweaver> and what happens when you boot with it in drive ?
[03:01] <goddard> i think i am starting to like osx over ubuntu
[03:01] <bobweaver> cd drive *
[03:02] <yaben3amme> the screen turns black then i see the windows logo
[03:02] <robertzaccour> ok just one more issue
[03:02] <bobweaver> ahh yaben3amme  you have to set boot to boot cd in bios
[03:02] <robertzaccour> I drag the termilal to the right (other desktop tv monitor) but the netflix app still opens up on the laptop screen only
[03:03] <stroodlepup> goddard?
[03:03] <bobweaver> yaben3amme,  that is what it sounds like . Have you opened bios ?
[03:03] <robertzaccour> chromium opens up on the 2nd monitor, but netflix app does not
[03:03] <bobweaver> robertzaccour,  press alt then enter in display and set tv to be 1
[03:03] <robertzaccour> and there's no way to drag it over there becaue its fullscreen
[03:03] <bobweaver> robertzaccour,  ^^^
[03:04] <iSeven> ...
[03:04] <yaben3amme> ive tried other cds like windows
[03:04] <yaben3amme> they work normall
[03:04] <yaben3amme> y
[03:04] <bobweaver> yaben3amme,  what kinda computer ?
[03:04] <yaben3amme> but ubuntu doesnt work
[03:04] <deitarion> How do I undo the "add showexec to udisks options" change made in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/vfat-noexec? It's preventing /media/Travel_16GB/boot/lin_start_here.sh from running the extensionless binary syslinux uses to write the boot sector.
[03:04] <yaben3amme> lenovo
[03:04] <iSeven> notebook?
[03:04] <yaben3amme> yeah
[03:04] <bobweaver> yaben3amme,  and you have open bios in boot ? like before the windows logo ?
[03:05] <iSeven> press F12 >
[03:05] <yaben3amme> yeah thats what im doing iSeven
[03:05] <bobweaver> iSeven,  lucky someone owns a lenvoo and not a craptop :P
[03:05] <robertzaccour> bobweaver, how do I change which display is the main one?
[03:05] <yaben3amme> then i select dvd
[03:06] <bobweaver> robertzaccour,  drag it to the left
[03:06] <yaben3amme> bobweaver nahh it aint that bad
[03:06] <bobweaver> no yaben3amme I am saying that you all are lucky with lenovo
[03:06] <bobweaver> I have the craptop :P
[03:07] <yaben3amme> ohh
[03:07] <bobweaver> Dell
[03:07] <yaben3amme> ok
[03:07] <yaben3amme> dell is very good
[03:07] <yaben3amme> only is you have crappy specs
[03:07] <yaben3amme> ram ??
[03:07] <bobweaver> 4
[03:07] <bobweaver> i3
[03:07] <yaben3amme> vga?
[03:07] <bobweaver> intel

[03:07] <bobweaver> WD
[03:08] <bobweaver> 2 tb I installed
[03:08] <yaben3amme> ?
[03:08] <bobweaver> I think that it is a black or scropio
[03:08] <yaben3amme> dude thats a very good pc
[03:08] <bobweaver> wont run steam
[03:08] <deitarion> ...or do I just have to ditch udisks-based automounting and use some alternative that isn't written with the assumption that everyone is a novice?
[03:08] <yaben3amme> ok back to the cd what should i do ?
[03:09] <bobweaver> you have to open bios options on boot and set cd to be 1st option on boot
[03:09] <yaben3amme> ?
[03:09] <yaben3amme> on lenovo
[03:09] <yaben3amme> you press f12
[03:09] <bobweaver> yaben3amme, most the time there is option to press f{something} too get to boot options
[03:09] <yaben3amme> and select where yoou want to boot from
[03:10] <yaben3amme> so i was selecting dvd
[03:10] <yaben3amme> the prob is with the cd
[03:10] <yaben3amme> not bios
[03:10] <bobweaver> yaben3amme,  what drives are there ?
[03:10] <yaben3amme> what?
[03:10] <usr13> yaben3amme: USB?

[03:10] <bobweaver> er
[03:11] <bobweaver> again yaben3amme  you checked the nd5sum ?
[03:11] <bobweaver> !md5sum

[03:28] <iSeven> ..call to lenovo
[03:28] <smacktalk> is there a utility that'll let you explore an iso image?
[03:28] <somsip> smacktalk: just mount it
[03:31] <aarcane> Where can I find more info on the migration to a Unified Installer?
[03:33] <kvothetech> aaearon: what
[03:33] <kvothetech> There is no unified installer.
[03:34] <CarlFK> aarcane: click around till you see the icon for the iso file, right click, "mount" ( or something similar, I don't have one handy to test with )
[03:35] <CarlFK> lspci says 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Device 9808   shouldn't I see the "restricted drivers available" option
[03:35] <aarcane> kvothetech, a few versions ago there was a blueprint or issue in the tracker to track the migration to a single ISO file that can perform installs of ubuntu desktop and server , 32 and 64 bit, and all the various others like kubuntu from a single DVD image...  but I can't find it now.
[03:36] <aarcane> kvothetech, it was for people like me who need to install a number of various configurations, and it was supposed to save a bunch of space and make everything super easy.
[03:36] <kvothetech> That's called minimal with your own local repo
[03:38] <aarcane> kvothetech, well, I remember it was in the works, but I can't find it now :(
[03:39] <kvothetech> Wouldn't be hard to make
[03:40] <aarcane> it was supposed to be the new default, btu I haven't seen anything about it in a while now, and have conveniently lost the bookmarks :(

[03:57] <usr13> hi
[03:58] <s_faraday> i have problem with virtualbox in ubuntu 12.10 x64
[03:58] <CarlFK> What is the restricted driver manager called?  I thought it was jockey
[03:59] <usr13> CarlFK: I think you are correct.
[03:59] <usr13> jockey-gtk
[03:59] <CarlFK> usr13: um.. it isn't installed on my 12.10 box
[03:59] <s_faraday> when i wanna start win 7 installation
[03:59] <somsip> CarlFK: Jockey GTK has been superseded by software-properties
[04:00] <s_faraday> VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration has been enabled, but is not operational. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot.Please ensure that you have enabled VT-x/AMD-V properly in the BIOS of your host computer.
[04:00] <usr13> somsip: oh, ok.  Thanks for the correction

[04:00] <Googol30> I'm back, if anyone remembers me... and I, of course, have questions about Ubuntu... this time about Virtualization, specifically Zen.
[04:00] <somsip> CarlFK: np
[04:00] <Googol30> No... Xen... correct spelling.
[04:01] <Googol30> On to my questions... is it possible to run a virtualized instance of Windows Vista from inside 12.04 Server?
[04:02] <py_can> I can't install Whine, I don't know what is going on: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1463757/
[04:03] <gelbander> gelbander: ok
[04:03] <s_faraday> how can i fix it?
[04:03] <somsip> py_can: to install Whine properly, you have to repeatedly ask the same question and complain that everyone is ignoreing you ;-)
[04:03] <py_can> somsip: thanks!
[04:03] <usr13> py_can: sudo apt-get -f install

[04:05] <hdldev> Hi there, is there a reason there are no more maverick package indexes on http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/?
[04:05] <py_can> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1463763/
[04:05] <py_can> somsip: yeah, could have been worse :)
[04:05] <hdldev> is it just because its been EOL'd?

[04:29] <Christina> hello all.
[04:29] <usr13> Christina: Hi
[04:30] <usr13> where's my haircut?
[04:30] <Christina> for some odd reason, i cannot log into my ubuntu 12.04 machine. it just goes back to the login again, and again
[04:30] <Christina> wtf are u talking about haircuts?
[04:30] <Christina> usr13, ^^
[04:30] <usr13> Sorry, couldn't resist, (a girl named Christina cuts my hair and she is AOL right now.)
[04:31] <Christina> wanna hear something even funnier?
[04:31] <usr13> !password | Christina
[04:31] <Christina> christina is my mom, she has cut my hair all my life.
[04:31] <usr13> Haha that's pretty good!
[04:32] <Christina> idk how her name got into the xchat program, but it here now.
[04:32] <dr_willis> Christina:  its crashing back to the Login screen. see if the guest user works.. see if a newly made user works. If so, that would imply that your users settings are some how crashing compiz/unity
[04:32] <Christina> so anyways,..
[04:32] <eamon> is gmail not loading for anyone else?
[04:32] <Christina> dr_willis, yes it just looping backt he the login screen
[04:33] <usr13> eamon: Works for me.
[04:33] <Christina> i dont believe i have compiz installed on it tho..
[04:33] <eamon> usr13: cheers
[04:33] <py_can> usr13: kk, im giving up. thanks for the help tho!
[04:33] <Christina> usr why did u do that password thing??
[04:33] <py_can> installing vnc on my windows machine instead :P
[04:34] <Christina> eamon, gmail is loading fine for me..
[04:34] <eamon> huh, maybe it's my browser.
[04:34] <dr_willis> Christina:  what desktop are you using?  Try some of the other ones.  a common issue is the .Xauthority file getting messed up and needing to be renamed/deleted
[04:34] <py_can> Christina: can you login using TTY1?
[04:34] <py_can> CTRL-ALT-F1
[04:35] <Christina> dr_willis, i have xubuntu session and xfce session and they both do the same thing
[04:35] <Christina> the ony way for me to get to the desktop is to login as guest
[04:35] <Christina> but then i cant really do anything anyways..
[04:35] <Christina> dr_willis, ^^
[04:36] <Christina> py_can, tty- u mean crtl+alt+f1--f6?
[04:36] <usr13> Christina: Ctrl-Alt-F6 and try to login
[04:36] <Christina> yes i can login with tty
[04:36] <wrh> I need help.  I wanted to get rid of my Ubuntu install on my hard drive running Windows 7.  I first deleted Ubuntu, then deleted its partition.  Upon merging the Windows OS partition with the free space, I was asked to reboot (I was using a program).  Now that I've restarted, I can't get into Windows.  Instead, "error: unknown filesystem.  grub rescue>" comes up.  Please help!
[04:36] <usr13> Christina: Ok, that's interesting.
[04:36] <MK`> Hm, why would Ubuntu be asking me to do a partial upgrade?
[04:37] <Christina> wrh, u need to run the system rescue cd for you windows installation
[04:37] <py_can> usr13: I have xubuntu and had this problem once, it messed up a config that handles the window manager, forgot what it was
[04:37] <usr13> Christina: So you more than likely have a problem in ~/.conf
[04:37] <Christina> usr13, how wouldi resolve this?
[04:37] <wrh> Will it completely reinstall my Windows or will it just recover the windows I have?
[04:37] <usr13> Christina: So you more than likely have a problem in ~/.config
[04:37] <Christina> wrh, it will fix your mbr witch was changed or corrupted my removing the linux install
[04:38] <wrh> Okay, thank you
[04:38] <Christina> wrh, if u hold on, ill get u the commands to repair the mbr

[04:39] <Christina> so give me a minute to type in the response
[04:39] <wrh> Okay thank you so much! yes I can wait
[04:39] <usr13> Christina: Ok, but what about my haircut?
[04:40] <Christina> the output of that command is "tail: cannot open `/car/log/messages' for reading: No such file or directory

[04:52] <mcknight_> Hello there. so. who feels like leading someone threw a blind install of ubuntu from usb onto a netbook with no screen
[04:53] <Pourya> have u tried closing the lead connecting it to an external monitor?
[04:53] <dr_willis> mcknight_:  setup a full install to the USB from a differnt pc.  be sure ssh and so forth is running on it..  then  use it. or a 2nd usb to boot the system and Image the usb to the hd of the netbook. ;)
[04:55] <mcknight_> well the netbook has windows 7 on it. and im kindof an ubuntu virgin, been using it for, oh um. 22 hours.
[04:55] <dr_willis> mcknight_:  so what do you want to do exactly with the netbook? its display is totally broken? plug it into a monitor
[04:56] <Pourya> close the lead
[04:56] <Pourya> it will automatically switch to the external mon...
[04:57] <mcknight_> i know how to set the usb and stuff, scren is cracked, $150 to replace. and windows seven is on it and i kind of deleted the display control drivers. well the program..
[04:57] <mcknight_> so yeah run it on an external moniter
[04:57] <mcknight_> monitor*
[04:57] <mcknight_> a shitshow
[04:58] <mcknight_> will ubuntu load and display on the external?
[04:58] <mcknight_> install*
[04:59] <mcknight_> dont worry im not a total idiot.
[04:59] <dr_willis> mcknight_:  i plug in my externals to mylaptopps and they normally get auto enabled. or i hit the Fn Keys to turn them on
[05:01] <mcknight_> see. this is a lovely samsung nf210 and it has a samsung program that has the drivers/software for the keyboard functions and thats gone.
[05:02] <mcknight_> i was doing so before hand with no issue, but system was running like crap so i started to delete the RUN BETTER programs, and it didnt work in my favor. Fn keys nor f keys work
[05:02] <mclovin> bodhilinux
[05:03] <mcknight_> ive been using it well and fine and windows starter was upgraded to home profesional. samsung updates and then the computer ran like crap. my stupidity
[05:04] <mcknight_> decent program??
[05:05]  * dr_willis has lost the thread of the origianl tech support issue....
[05:05] <dr_willis> what was the problem again?
[05:06] <mcknight_> user error
[05:06] <mcknight_> lol
[05:06] <daftykins> dr_willis: broke his screen, trying to blind-install an OS
[05:06] <daftykins> he's brave, i'll give 'im that
[05:07] <mcknight_> ive done windows blind installs. tab tab tab tab tab enther tab tab\
[05:07] <dr_willis> not like its very portable.. id install to a USB. have the thing boot from that.. (but how you set the bios to do that with no screen is a good question). :)
[05:07] <mcknight_> easy ish on linux??
[05:08] <dr_willis> you could clone an existing install to its hard drive. that would be fairly easy
[05:08] <dr_willis> best bet would be to get a external monitor working. those should work with the live cd/installer with few hassles.
[05:10] <mcknight_> i was going to clone one and dog ate my other sata cable
[05:11] <mcknight_> or cat. im going to try something pourya suggested, thank you all. appreciate it bigtime. dinosaurs suck
[05:12] <dr_willis> Had the grandkids chew up some of my cables... ;)
[05:12] <daftykins> dr_willis: :O little blighters
[05:13] <dr_willis> I guess usb cords are tasty to a teething toddler.
[05:13] <newroad> hello, I'm been using Remmina to connect to my company's RDP servers, but they've recently changed the default ports of the RDP servers for security reasons. Is there a way I can can change the port that Remmina connects to a specific server on?
[05:13] <mcknight_> merry christmas all
[05:16] <ring0> newroad, sure, instead of just using the ip of the server, set server:port and it should work again
[05:16] <daftykins> newroad: where you type in a hostname or IP, try typing host:IP or IP:port
[05:17]  * daftykins high-fives ring0
[05:17] <ring0> daftykins, \o
[05:17] <daftykins> :D
[05:18] <Alpi> Merry christmas folks.
[05:20] <CarlFK> trying to get a desktop box with both vga and hdmi to talk to a TV over vga.  it worked using the xorg drivers, but now that I installed the ati binary it is kicking the res up higher than the TV supports
[05:21] <CarlFK> I can hook ssh into it, and I can use the hdmi - any clue how to restrict how high the VGA res goes?
[05:22] <dr_willis> ati has their control panel tool.
[05:22] <dr_willis> that can tweak settings
[05:33] <newroad> thanks ring8
[05:33] <newroad> ring0*
[05:35] <ring0> newroad, is it working? :)

[05:43] <bateee> hi all, I am running a Ubuntu 12.10 server on Oracle virtualbox environment. I need to go to the full screen mode of the server. Currently I am getting small size screen to work on. Please suggest me how to go to full screen mode.
[05:46] <aeon-ltd> bateee: did you install the extras that allow any resolution?
[05:47] <bateee> aeon-ltd, I installed guest addition through apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso
[05:47] <cfhowlett> bateee: install guest additions
[05:48] <bateee> cfhowlett, guest additions was installed but with default conf, I couldn't change the screen size
[05:50] <bateee> aeon-ltd, What did you mean by extras, do I need to install something other than the guest additions
[05:55] <t3ch> possible to install only one package from pre-releases ?
[05:57] <aeon-ltd> bateee: no guest additions is what i meant
[06:14] <Magoogle> morning!
[06:15] <Magoogle> anyone know if the ARM version of ubuntu would run on the XIOS ds media player?
[06:15] <cfhowlett> Magoogle: greetings
[06:18] <jesse___> How can I make applications that I compiled myself appear in Dash? Is there a way that I can add them?
[06:25] <_joey> how do I get rid of sudo and use su instead?
[06:25] <_joey> thanks!
[06:25] <_joey> how do I stop the system update resolv.conf. I want to edit the file manually
[06:25] <_joey> Thanks!
[06:26] <daftykins> _joey: you just want to type two characters less?
[06:26] <_joey> i want to type two character once only
[06:27] <IdleOne> use sudo -i when you need extended root privs
[06:28] <daftykins> yeah i use the above when i need extended time as root
[06:28] <daftykins> then drop out with 'exit' after
[06:28] <gotoguy> I got this weird problem I hope someone might know about, I'm running KDE and in the System Tray is an icon/app called "KDE accessible", the thing is everytime I try to quit it, it just goes away a sec. then pops right back. Also if I kill the PID on the command line it does the same thing, anyone know how to fix this? thanks.
[06:29] <_joey> okay, thanks
[06:30] <_joey> what about system updating resolv.conf after reboot?
[06:30] <_joey> I want to leave it alone
[06:30] <_joey> I mean i don't want the system to update resolv.conf after reboot
[06:34] <_joey> okay, su - is fixed
[06:34] <_joey> it's just a habit
[06:41] <andy00> hi
[06:41] <cfhowlett> andy00: greetings
[06:41] <mastershake> hey guys
[06:41] <cfhowlett> mastershake: greetings
[06:41] <gotoguy> merry christmas andy00
[06:42] <mastershake> merry christmas to all
[06:42] <gotoguy> dito mastershake.
[06:42] <mastershake> cfhowlett: can you help me out with a problem im having over here?
[06:42] <cfhowlett> mastershake: possibly.  ask.
[06:43] <mastershake> just got this message when i did an apt-get install ..
[06:43] <tyfaust> How would someone with only a command line interface use an invitation/activation link on a webpage? Is there any good way, or will I need a browser?
[06:43] <mastershake> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[06:43] <cfhowlett> mastershake: ...Yes?
[06:43] <mastershake> gerix-wifi-cracker-ng : Depends: python-qt3 but it is not installable
[06:43] <mastershake> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[06:44] <andy00> Can I build a .gz file with pbuilder without having .dsc file?
[06:44] <gotoguy> I got this weird problem I hope someone might know about, I'm running KDE and in the System Tray is an icon/app called "KDE accessible", the thing is everytime I try to quit it, it just goes away a sec. then pops right back. Also if I kill the PID on the command line it does the same thing, anyone know how to fix this? thanks.
[06:45] <mastershake> cfhowlett: any ideas?
[06:45] <cfhowlett> mastershake: have you updated your apt-get lately?
[06:45] <gotoguy> It's like persistant
[06:45] <mastershake> yes
[06:46] <mastershake> for some reason i just cant install gerix
[06:46] <mastershake> pretty sure i have the right repos
[06:46] <cfhowlett> mastershake: 3rd party dependencies are the likely cause
[06:47] <mastershake> okay im semi new w linux so what should i do
[06:47] <cfhowlett> mastershake: I'm going to have to punt on this.  wifi cracker is part of the aircrack suite and is not supported on this channel.
[06:48] <cfhowlett> mastershake: try #aircrack-ng for support
[06:48] <mastershake> thanks
[06:48] <andy00> in this case http://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/evince-browser-plugin/releases/ , how can I build this with pbuilder? thanks all
[06:50] <andy00> for all I know, there's no .dsc file inside....
[06:52] <seel> Is this the place to get help with things ubuntu, right?
[06:52] <cfhowlett> seel: it is one place.  ask
[06:53] <seel> ok. well, I'm not experienced much with hardware and am trying to figure out how to go about finding a way to connect my desktop to the internet wirelessly
[06:53] <cfhowlett> seel: ok.  details on your hardware?
[06:54] <dr_willis> tyfaust:  theres links and lynx and w3m for console based web browsing
[06:55] <seel> I believe the computer is an dell inspiron 150 or 1500 or something, and will have to find out how to find what hardware I have as I'm not sure about the motherboard or any of that really. I'll find out what I can soon though, just not really sure where to start
[06:55] <cfhowlett> seel: and what ubuntu are you using?
[06:55] <seel> 12.04
[06:55] <totem> dr_willis, merry x-mass
[06:55] <ubuntuaddicted> trying to use username map within smb.conf but it doesn't appear to be working
[06:56] <dr_willis> seel:   what wifi thang are you using?
[06:56] <cfhowlett> seel: ok.  wait one.  Pretty sure I know what the problem is ...
[06:56] <ubuntuaddicted> my user within linux is not the same as on the windows xp box
[06:56]  * cfhowlett bets it's a broadcom
[06:56] <seel> I bought a belkin n150 wireless adapter and both 12.04 and mint live cd recognize a connection but never connect
[06:56] <ubuntuaddicted> i can browse within nautilus and show the share but can't write to it
[06:56] <dr_willis> ubuntuaddicted:  you  could just add a new user that matches. ;)  i always do that out of habbit.
[06:57] <dr_willis> ubuntuaddicted:  what share exactly?  a share on the windows box? or linux box?
[06:57] <cfhowlett> seel: so you're NOT using the installed wifi?
[06:57] <ubuntuaddicted> dr_willis, i don't want to have to do that. this is the first user on the xubuntu machine
[06:57] <seel> I am currently using families internet across the hall as we do not have internet actually ourselves, and the laptop works fine (internet-wise) with 12.10, I believe it is
[06:57] <ubuntuaddicted> dr_willis, a share on the windows box
[06:57] <dr_willis> ubuntuaddicted:  so what? its trivial to add new users..
[06:57] <ubuntuaddicted> dr_willis, i mapped the linux user to the windows user
[06:57] <seel> well, that's just it, I wouldn't have any clue if I even have a wireless card in the desktop or not, actually
[06:58] <dr_willis> ubuntuaddicted:  you do have a password set on the xp box for the user?
[06:58] <ubuntuaddicted> dr_willis, yes
[06:58] <cfhowlett> seel: OK, I think I understand.  open up a terminal and let's do a little investigating.  run this command lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[06:58] <Seven_Six_Two> so I got this netvista with xubuntu on it, and I don't like the username. Is there a way to change that, including the home dir, sudo ability, file ownership, etc?
[06:59] <seel> ok, let me go turn on my desktop real quick since you're taking the time to help me real-time
[06:59] <Seven_Six_Two> without reinstalling, of course!
[06:59] <dr_willis> ubuntuaddicted:  if the shares on the windoiws box.. im not sure how the linux box's smb.conf would be remapping users.. seems backwards to me.
[06:59] <cfhowlett> Seven_Six_Two: just create a new user account?
[06:59] <cfhowlett> seel: for reference, this is what I'm looking at.  http://turbolinux.org/2011/07/ubuntu-broadcom-bcm43xx-chipset-pci/
[07:00] <dr_willis> Seven_Six_Two:  easier to make a new user. give them the same rights. and copy files over.
[07:00] <ubuntuaddicted> dr_willis, it should map the linux user to the windows user
[07:00] <Seven_Six_Two> alright. thanks.
[07:00] <seel> I'm starting up the desktop now and will let you know what I find
[07:00] <dr_willis> ubuntuaddicted:  from what samba experience i have.. it remaps a windows user comming into the linux box.. not the other way around. You may want to double check in #samba
[07:00] <dr_willis> i could be wrong. ;) ive rarely had to remap users.
[07:02] <ubuntuaddicted> dr_willis, this shows http://www.brennan.id.au/18-Samba.html
[07:02] <lesterc> guys - what got changed in ubuntu's nfs server since nfsv3 era?  It starts suddenly scrolling too fast itself when i use my mouse's wheel . For example if i am reading pdf or web page and try to down the page it justs suddenly run fast even sometime opposite
[07:04] <seel> nothing about broadcom that I can see
[07:05] <seel> pci bridge: intent corp 82801 pci bridge (rev 92) is one line I got
[07:05] <missed> Please help me , The mouse just annoying me (LAPTOP)
[07:06] <_joey> linux is just annoying
[07:06] <_joey> whoever invented it should be jailed for life
[07:06] <cheesecakes> kthanxbai
[07:06] <aeon-ltd> _joey: are you joking?
[07:06] <seel> nah, it doesn't always "just work" but that's part of the fun and challenge of learning
[07:06] <cfhowlett> !ot|_joey:
[07:06] <_joey> aeon-ltd: I am trolling
[07:06] <missed> _joey, don't you use Linux?
[07:07] <missed> perhaps trolling in #ubuntu is less considered!
[07:07] <gotoguy> any one know how to have two cursors, one for each mouse?  we got the computer hooked up to a tv and a monitor and I would like to have two cursors one for me and one for my wife?
[07:08] <ubuntuaddicted> dr_willis, yeah, i just re-read it again, it only maps linux to windows not the other way around
[07:08] <_joey> 1,466 nicks. Someone should troll once in a while
[07:08] <seel> ok, I'll be honest here in that I don't know how I'm supposed to copy and paste anything from the desktop to the laptop when the desktop isn't connect online
[07:08] <cfhowlett> seel: can't be done.
[07:08] <ubuntuaddicted> dr_willis, so is there a way for nautilus to prompt me for a username and password when browsing
[07:09] <seel> exactly, so I'm not sure how to get this information to anyone that's needed... I can type pretty fast and type what I see to help you help me, but lots of typing for sure
[07:09] <cfhowlett> seel: just copy and paste very carefully.  I thought your Dell 1500 would have a Broadcom wireless chip, but as that seems not to be the case, my fix won
[07:09] <lesterc> seel: usb drives?
[07:09] <cfhowlett> seel: my fix won't help you.
[07:09] <seel> lemme check usb
[07:10] <seel> usb drives, yes
[07:12] <_joey> how long will 12.10 be supported?
[07:12] <seel> that I know of I have 4-6 usb slots
[07:13] <seel> I can easily see 4 on front of desktop
[07:13] <aeon-ltd> _joey: google say 2 years
[07:13] <aeon-ltd> *says
[07:13] <seel> and my droid will connect via tethering but the connect is not fast except for very basic stuff
[07:14] <_joey> what does Ubuntu say?
[07:14] <aeon-ltd> _joey: 2 years
[07:14] <_joey> okay
[07:15] <dr_willis> ubuntuaddicted:  i seem to recall it asking. ;) but i havent used it in ages.
[07:16] <seel> It's actually getting very late here and I'm not sure, right now, what other information I can give you very easily atm, so maybe another time soon I can share more and be of better help so you can help me
[07:16] <seel> merry christmas and good night everyone
[07:21] <powerball> Howdy
[07:22] <_joey> what is the packagename for vmware tools on ubuntu?
[07:22] <_joey> thanks!
[07:23] <DFDuckworth> This a help channel?
[07:23] <dr_willis> Support channel. yes DFDuckworth
[07:26] <lesterc> _joey: there isn't one
[07:30] <DFDuckworth> I started redshift in a terminal, closed the terminal, and redshift is still running.
[07:30] <DFDuckworth> ps -e | grep redshift turns up nothing
[07:30] <DFDuckworth> killall redshift doesn't work
[07:30] <DFDuckworth> is it called something else?
[07:31] <_joey> open-vm-tools
[07:31] <DFDuckworth> _joey: were you talking to me?
[07:31] <cfhowlett> !who
[07:32] <_joey> !whois
[07:32] <DFDuckworth> !give hug
[07:33] <DFDuckworth> !give
[07:33] <DFDuckworth> !help
[07:33] <DFDuckworth> lol
[07:33] <DFDuckworth> !patience
[07:34] <[_-S1L3NC3-_]> the power of Ubuntu!
[07:34] <_joey> Ubuntu is weak and fraigle
[07:34] <DFDuckworth> Indeed. I've been quite enamoured with arch recently though
[07:36] <BBuNooob> hey every one
[07:36] <_joey> arch is also weak
[07:36] <cfhowlett> BBuNooob: greetings
[07:37] <_joey> Windows 7 been made very user friendly, robust and exteremely securing rendering all other OS obsolete & outdated
[07:37] <DFDuckworth> _joey: what's your preference?
[07:37] <DFDuckworth> lol
[07:37] <_joey> above!
[07:37] <DFDuckworth> Nah bro
[07:37] <DFDuckworth> it's all about using plan nine
[07:37] <BBuNooob> Linux
[07:37] <DFDuckworth> with a custome kde config
[07:37] <cfhowlett> !ot|_joey:
[07:37] <_joey> I read many articles on this subject
[07:37] <DFDuckworth> taht looks like the metro interface
[07:40] <_joey> Windows have been focusing on server side till 2008-2009. Now, it's just ridiculously good on desktop, even Linus himself admits it
[07:41] <BBuNooob> does anyone know how to symlink bypass
[07:41] <DFDuckworth> Sorry for offtopic, will restate question and stop chatter.
[07:41] <DFDuckworth> I started redshift in a terminal, closed the terminal, and redshift is still running. "ps -e | grep redshift" turns up nothing. killall redshift doesn't work.
[07:41] <_joey> what? :)
[07:42] <Jordan_U> _joey: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. Opinions on the worth of Ubuntu or any other OS are offtopic. Please stay on topic. Next time you don't, you will be banned.
[07:43] <_joey> okay
[07:43] <Jordan_U> DFDuckworth: What indication are you seeing that redshift is running?
[07:44] <DFDuckworth> Jordan_U: Color changes, pretty obvious with my ~/.config/redshift.conf settings
[07:45] <lordnaz> hey
[07:45] <lordnaz> how do i change the ubuntu runtime?
[07:45] <Jordan_U> DFDuckworth: The process actually controlling this is probably not named "redshift".
 I got a similar problem with /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kaccessibleapp not dying.
[07:45] <cfhowlett> lordnaz: greetings
[07:45] <lordnaz> well the runlevel
[07:45] <lordnaz> theres no /etc/inittab
[07:45] <Jordan_U> !runlevel | lordnaz
[07:46] <Jordan_U> lordnaz: What is your end goal?
[07:46] <lordnaz> i wanna boot into console
[07:46] <DFDuckworth> Jordan_U: installed gtk-redshift to try to turn it off. when I select toggle, the colors return to normal briefly, then go back to yellowy
[07:46] <Jordan_U> lordnaz: Select the recovery mode entry from the grub menu (hold shift during boot to see it).
[07:46] <lordnaz> thanks
[07:46] <gotoguy>  I'm running KDE and in the System Tray is an icon/app called "KDE accessible", the thing is everytime I try to quit it, it just goes away a sec. then pops right back. Also if I kill the PID on the command line it does the same thing, anyone know how to fix this?
[07:47] <Jordan_U> lordnaz: You're welcome.
[07:47] <gotoguy> why how does it come back alive.
[07:47] <lordnaz> also how do i su...
[07:47] <lordnaz> or set a root password
[07:48] <Jordan_U> !sudo | lordnaz
[07:48] <lordnaz> i know about sudo
[07:48] <lordnaz> sometimes i just wanna su in
[07:48] <DFDuckworth> !passwd
[07:48] <DFDuckworth> no?
[07:49] <_joey> sudo passwd root
[07:49] <Jordan_U> lordnaz: While it's possible to set a root password, it's A: Not needed, as sudo can allow you to run whatever you need to as root and B: We don't support having a root password set.
[07:49] <_joey> change password and use su -
[07:49] <dr_willis> theres no need to set a root password
[07:49] <lordnaz> kk
[07:49] <dr_willis> sudo -s or sudo -i if you need a root shell
[07:49] <_joey> it will prompt for it, you can leave it empty I suppose
[07:49] <_joey> most people have a habit of using su -
[07:50] <dr_willis> _joey:  not ubuntu users..
[07:50] <dr_willis> and ive seen more and more disrtos go the sudo route.
[07:50] <lordnaz> i still think it sucks i cant change the runlevel
[07:51] <dr_willis> Ubuntu dosent really use runlevels.. so theres no need to change them
[07:51] <DFDuckworth> Does systemd have runlevels?
[07:51] <Jordan_U> DFDuckworth: No.
[07:51] <dr_willis> what do you want to do exactly lordnaz ?
[07:51] <lordnaz> i rather startx when i need to
[07:51] <dr_willis> lordnaz:  so? use the TEXT mode...
[07:51] <dr_willis> no need fo runlevels. ;)
[07:51] <dr_willis> !text
[07:52] <dr_willis> or just disable the lightdm service.
[07:53] <lordnaz> anyone use the new nvidia driverS?
[07:53] <lordnaz> 310.19
[07:54] <w0rm-_x> lordnaz, I do... not
[07:54] <penguinman> i'll try them once they hit the repos
[07:54] <_joey> lordnaz: not me
[07:54] <DFDuckworth> Jordan_U: any idea how i can stop redshift?
[07:54] <lordnaz> gnite
[07:54] <DFDuckworth> Jordan_U: or manage when it runs, etc
[07:55] <b3njamin_> hi
[07:55] <cfhowlett> b3njamin_: greetings
[07:55] <gotoguy> In my network management settings I got a Connection called Auto Ethernet, any one know where that gets written to in the /etc dir.?
[07:56] <w0rm-_x> gotoguy, I do.. not
[07:56] <gotoguy> thanks, <w0rm-_x> , any one else?
[08:00] <penguinman> gotoguy, should be under /etc/NetworkManager I believe
[08:00] <gotoguy> thanks, <penguinman> I'll have a look.
[08:01] <lordnaz> holding shift was no good
[08:02] <Jordan_U> lordnaz: Did you start holding shift the the moment you started the computer? Did you not see the grub menu?
[08:03] <lordnaz> yes
    Thanks man, I don't know why I couldn't see it.
[08:04] <justmeh> !nas
[08:04] <justmeh> So, what do you guys do for a NAS?
[08:05] <Seven_Six_Two> my webserver is my nas
[08:05] <justmeh> well, is it a webserver or a real nas
[08:06] <Seven_Six_Two> what qualifies as "real"
[08:07] <gotoguy> Okay in Fedora I had written a couple of scripts that would take the network up and down, and in the script was "ifup eth0" and ifdown eth0" but when I moved them over to Ubuntu it complains > ifdown: interface eth0 not configured, Anyone know why it says that, because I do have a eth0  ???
[08:08] <justmeh> gotoguy, run ifconfig and note the network interfaces
[08:09] <gotoguy> yeah, it's there eth0, lo, virbr0.
[08:09] <erncic> gotoguy: is it configured in /etc/network/interfaces?
[08:10] <justmeh> gotoguy, ubuntu desktop or server?
[08:10] <gotoguy> desktop.
[08:10] <justmeh> desktop doesnt use /etc/network/interfaces - it configures with avahi or so
[08:10] <justmeh> 'network manager
[08:10] <justmeh> lol hf with that...
[08:10] <erncic> if you use a static ip it does...
[08:11] <gotoguy> Aah, okay it is static.
[08:11] <gotoguy>  /etc/network/interfaces   says: auto lo
[08:11] <gotoguy> iface lo inet loopback
[08:12] <_joey> Jordan_U: are you around?
[08:12] <_joey> He is not. May the trolling be continued...
[08:13] <gotoguy> what would I add in  /etc/network/interfaces ?   Just -  auto eth0  ?
[08:14] <erncic> for a dynamic ip  - yes
[08:14] <gotoguy> but what if it's static?
[08:15] <gotoguy> I'm gonna try it both ways, but I like a static IP, then I know where it's at on other machines.
[08:16] <t432> How do I load wireless adaptor without rebooting?

[08:21] <helmut_> hi
[08:21] <cfhowlett> helmut_: greetings
[08:31] <b3nj4m1n> hi
[08:31] <blackshirt> hi
[08:31] <cfhowlett> b3nj4m1n: greetings
[08:32] <b3nj4m1n> installed 12.10, fans are running at full speed all the time
[08:32] <blackshirt> bad news today
[08:33] <gotoguy> thanks for the help all, good night. Happy Holidays.
[08:34] <b3nj4m1n> blackshirt: i have a laptop with hybrid graphics
[08:35] <penguinman> b3nj4m1n, that's probably the issue. hybrid graphics have issues under linux right now. I'm assuming it's an optimus setup?
[08:36] <b3nj4m1n> penguinman: nvidia + intel
[08:37] <b3nj4m1n> penguinman: i think that is because nvidia gpu is working all the time
[08:37] <penguinman> b3nj4m1n, yeah, they won't swap out properly due to lack of driver support from nvidia
[08:38] <penguinman> there was a big hubub about that a few weeks back.
[08:39] <penguinman> if i remember correctly there's a workaround, but it's not 100%
[08:39] <b3nj4m1n> penguinman: on previous ubuntu 12.04 i somehow turned nvidia gpu off with bumblebee
[08:39] <daftykins> there are some methods to make optimus tech kinda work
[08:39] <daftykins> but yeah, what penguinman said ^
[08:39] <penguinman> b3nj4m1n, should still work with bunblebee
[08:42] <penguinman> i generally go for laptops with either integrated intel or amd. don't really see the need for a high powered gpu on a lappy.
[08:42] <daftykins> it's more a perk
[08:43] <penguinman> actually what i really want to get is one of the new hybrid tablet/ultrabook setups
[08:43] <b3nj4m1n> penguinman: now i think so too
[08:45] <penguinman> i still don't understand why companies keep driver source closed. it's not like they're making a profit off the software
[08:45] <penguinman> or by keeping people on windows/mac
[08:45] <bekks> penguinman: It is like keeping their intellectual property.
[08:45] <b3nj4m1n> yeah
[08:46] <r4d1x> they are making money off it though
[08:46] <b3nj4m1n> penguinman: suggest me a good book about linux command line
[08:47] <penguinman> b3nj4m1n, well, since you're probably starting with bash, i'd suggest the oreily book on the topic.
[08:47] <r4d1x> nvidias tesla cards for example, a 2050 is roughly equiv to a 480, and a 480 is 3x the speed.  but with access to the driver you could unlock that
[08:47] <bekks> b3nj4m1n: Dont buy a book, better get familiar with the command line commands, the help is available through the "man" command, e.g. "man ifconfig"
[08:47] <bekks> b3nj4m1n: Commands evolve too fast for writing a book about them.
[08:48] <penguinman> bekks, true, but the underlying capabilities and syntax don't eveolve that quickly
[08:48] <arshavin> man command is not easy for beginners
[08:48] <b3nj4m1n> pengiunman: learning the bash shell?
[08:48] <penguinman> yeah, that's the one
[08:49] <bekks> b3nj4m1n: Thats a seperate book then. :)
[08:49] <arshavin> maybe a shell scripting book will teach you all about linux commands
[08:49] <bekks> There are far more than 4000 commands - there is no book teaching them all.
[08:49] <arshavin> download mastering unix shell scripting
[08:50] <penguinman> i still prefer the bsd approach to command line utils, rather than the gnu approach, less options and actually using pipes for their intended purpose
[08:50] <arshavin> linux shell scripting with bash.pdf
[08:51] <b3nj4m1n> asrhavin: where are you from?
[08:51] <daftykins> penguinman: how did it differ? the pipe purpose i mean
[08:51] <penguinman> well, technically pipes do the same thing, but there's almost no need to ever use them, since there's a lot of duplicated functionality between basic applications
[08:52] <b3nj4m1n> arshavin: where are you from?
[08:52] <arshavin> india
[08:53] <b3nj4m1n> arshavin: what does arshavin mean?
[08:54] <penguinman> daftykins, for example, grep has file i/o which in my opinion is wasted functionality since cat exists
[08:54] <arshavin> I like andrei arshavin so I use the name
[08:54] <b3nj4m1n> okay
[08:54] <daftykins> penguinman: so cat | grep instead of grep alone is your preference?
[08:54] <penguinman> yes.
[08:55] <penguinman> one program for one purpose
[08:55] <penguinman> the gnu core utils have a lot of feature creep in them
[08:56] <MonkeyDust> cat | less is also perfectly correct
[08:57] <FrogZilla> What are the things called that idle in IRC when you're not able to be at your computer and then when you join to your thing it shows all chat you missed, also auto-updates away status and what not,  I cannot remember..
[08:58] <b3nj4m1n> penguinman: how do i turn off nvidia gpu with bumblebee?
[08:58] <bekks> FrogZilla: "messages" in general, "join/part messages" and "status messages" in detail.
[08:58] <FrogZilla> bekks: Sorry what?
[08:58] <bekks> FrogZilla: I just answered you question.
[08:59] <t432> How do I remove the dialog "Enter password to unlock your login keyring" ? I keep getting this on restart
[08:59] <penguinman> truthfully, my ideal os would use syntax like cat <movie file/playlist> | mplayer to play a movie rather than mplayer -o "filename"
[08:59] <penguinman> or whatever the exact mplayer syntax is
[08:59] <b3nj4m1n> penguinman: i have installed bumblebee so how do i turn off nvidia gpu?
[09:00] <FrogZilla> bekks: Yeah but I used to have one back in the day and that doesn't sound like what I had, I was able to join to this irc thing I had on my VPS and when I connected to it it would relay all messages I missed in a certain chat room, and I was always there cause of the bot, which if I logged out would auto update my name to away and stuff
[09:00] <penguinman> b3nj4m1n, not exactly sure on that, google may be your friend there
[09:00] <bekks> FrogZilla: "bouncer"
[09:00] <FrogZilla> bekks: Thhhannkk yooouuu
[09:00] <b3nj4m1n> okay, thanks
[09:00] <FrogZilla> bekks: apt-get install for a good bouncer?
[09:01] <FrogZilla> bekks: Actually I'll just google, thanks though
[09:01] <bekks> FrogZilla: I dont use a bounce, but I a m using "irssi" running in "screen".
[09:01] <sgo11> hi, I have a pioneer dvd drive. when burning a dvd, the speed is always about 2.2x. very slow. the dvd is 16x max. the pioneer dvd drive is 22x max I think. why is the actual speed always 2.2x? I am using Brasero with maximum possible speed option. thanks.
[09:02] <Catbuntu> hello
[09:03] <daftykins> sgo11: think i heard about a bug with that one a long time ago. however, are you sure you've got good media?
[09:03] <eFfeM> hi in 12.04 when I launch a terminal through unity it is always higher than my screen, how can I change this (adding geometry to startup application configuration did not seem to do the trick)
[09:04] <arshavin>  looks like everyone is out for their christmas dinner at #elementary
[09:04] <sgo11> daftykins, i think the media is good. i just bought the blank dvd today.
[09:06] <daftykins> sgo11: yeah but some types don't work well / fast with some drives
[09:06] <sgo11> daftykins, I really think that is ubuntu problem. 2.2x is too slow.
[09:08] <arshavin> anyone ever custoised wingpanel
[09:08] <daftykins> sgo11: try another prog
[09:08] <arshavin> sorry customised
[09:08] <arshavin> wingpanel won't change
[09:08] <nabn> hi. I found that the aliases described in my .bashrc files are not working. any help?
[09:08] <penguinman> customization isn't high on the priority list of the elementary folks
[09:10] <sgo11> daftykins, ok. maybe. by googling, there is no solution. people tried many programs. no one will give them a good speed.
[09:11] <nabn> here's my .bashrc : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1464119
[09:12] <nabn> while the terminal in my cairo docklet has the aliases working fine, unlike in the default terminal
[09:14] <b3nj4m1n_> penguinman: what about the linux commands themselves? where could i learn them?
[09:14] <ntzrmtthihu777> lotsa places ben
[09:14] <b3nj4m1n_> from the beginning
[09:15] <Ben64> !manual
[09:15] <arshavin> b3nj4m1n_using any scripting book you can learn it easily
[09:15] <ntzrmtthihu777> heh. I just googled for how to do whatever I was trying to do.
[09:15] <ntzrmtthihu777> You learn fast with GNU software
[09:17] <b3nj4m1n_> arshavin: i have the learning the bash shell book and i see no linux commands there
[09:17] <arshavin> b3nj4m1n_  which command do you wish to learn?
[09:17] <b3nj4m1n_> arshavin: most useful ones
[09:18] <arshavin> b3nj4m1n_ then google for them with those very words,you will get them
[09:18] <milamber> b3nj4m1n_: man bash
[09:19] <b3nj4m1n_> man bash
[09:19] <arshavin>  b3nj4m1n http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/11/50-linux-commands/
[09:19] <b3nj4m1n_> yes
[09:20] <b3nj4m1n_> arshavin: okay. thanks
[09:20] <arshavin> great
[09:21] <b3nj4m1n_> excellent
[09:22] <arshavin> anyone using wingpanel elementary os
[09:22] <nabn> posting again: the aliases defined in my .bashrc files suddenly stopped working. here's my .bashrc file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1464119/  I recently installed cairo dock and the terminal docklet on it has the aliases working fine. Help?
[09:23] <auronandace> arshavin: not supported here
[09:23] <b3nj4m1n_> nabn: which ones stopped working?
[09:24] <jimmy_lo_chien_f> !time
[09:24] <nabn> b3nj4m1n_: ll, la for instance
[09:25] <nabn> b3nj4m1n_: $JAVA_HOME doesn't echo either
[09:25] <b3nj4m1n_> nabn: what does the alias command without options show?
[09:26] <nabn> b3nj4m1n_: alias rvm-restart='rvm_reload_flag=1 source '\''/home/nabn/.rvm/scripts/rvm'\'''
[09:26] <b3nj4m1n_> nabn: that's all?
[09:26] <nabn> b3nj4m1n_: yup
[09:27] <Captain_Crow> hello
[09:27] <b3nj4m1n_> nabn: try to execute this: source ~/.bashrc
[09:27] <nabn> b3nj4m1n_: now its working. what just happened?
[09:28] <b3nj4m1n_> nabn: aliases are working you mean?
[09:28] <nabn> b3nj4m1n_: correct.yah.
[09:28] <b3nj4m1n_> nabn: the source command makes bash read the give file
[09:28] <b3nj4m1n_> given file
[09:29] <nabn> b3nj4m1n_: but why wasn't it reading the file before? This problem didn't exist a day before. Can rvm installation be the problem?
[09:29] <Captain_Crow> how do i burn a ISO to a thumb drive so that it can be used as a boot drive for installing?
[09:30] <b3nj4m1n_> nabn: for some reasons bash doesn't read the file
[09:30] <b3nj4m1n_> nabn: when starting
[09:30] <nabn> b3nj4m1n_: is there any way i can specify this so that i dont have to source every time i run bash?
[09:31] <b3nj4m1n_> nabn: there are some other files that bash should read
[09:32] <nabn> b3nj4m1n_: Sorry, i don't follow.
[09:33] <Sail> any plugin vo vim so when i am code some like html with  css and side by side i can see graphical representation of this code??
[09:33] <b3nj4m1n_> nabn: try to add that line to /etc/profile
[09:34] <Sail> any plugin for vim so when i am code some like html with  css and side by side i can see graphical representation of this code like dreamweaver??
[09:35] <nabn> b3nj4m1n_: Thanks.  I am grateful.
[09:40] <b3nj4m1n_> Sail: have you tried googling?

[09:55] <bjoe> help
[09:55] <b3nj4m1n_> hello
[09:55] <ThinkT510> bjoe: rather difficult untill we know the issue
[09:55] <dragonslay> Welcome
[09:55] <zoie> hello, my package manager is broken, i cannot download any package anymore: http://pastie.org/5575456
[09:55] <bjoe> i messed up my ubuntu  kernel and nvidia driver versions are out of sync
[09:56] <bjoe> my package manager isnt broken but it will not update or upgrade
[09:56] <bekks> bjoe: Could you please pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a", "which locale" and "df -h" ?
[09:57] <bjoe> i was in the middle of merging home folders on several partitions and i must get the broken ubuntu working again because it is the most complete one
[09:58] <bekks> bjoe: What did you do before you git 176 broken packages?
[09:58] <bjoe> \bekks what is pastebin?
[09:59] <dr_willis> !pastebin | bjoe
[09:59] <bekks> zoie: Could you please pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a", "which locale" and "df -h" ?
[10:00] <bjoe> its on another machi9ne but output of lsb_release -a = No LSB modules are available
[10:00] <bjoe> Dist. Id = Ubuntu

[10:01] <bjoe> Codename: Precise
[10:01] <bekks> zoie: You should free space on your /
[10:01] <zoie> bekks: i know but that's not the issue
[10:01] <bjoe> which locale= /usr/bin/locale
[10:02] <milamber> zoie: http://askubuntu.com/questions/33025/locale-settings-are-not-right-how-can-i-reset-them
[10:03] <zoie> milamber: i know that the locale is not right, i put it in english momentarily so that i can give you the error messages (it's supposed to be in french); but that's not the issue either
[10:03] <bekks> zoie: According to your paste, that is the issue.
[10:04] <zoie> bekks: no the issue is about monodoc and stuff like that; when my locale was right, it was giving me the same errors (minus the locale)
[10:05] <milamber> zoie: then fix the locale issue and come back. the packages will not download until that is resolved.
[10:07] <benbro1> what package do I need for libreoffice on the server. only to convert docs, no GUI
[10:08] <ShadowMedic>
[10:09] <zoie> milamber: bekks here it is without the locale issue: http://pastie.org/5575486

[10:09] <dragonslay> does ubuntu has a NTFS defrag tool?
[10:11] <Sail> any plugin for vim so when i am code some like html with  css and side by side i can see graphical representation of this code like dreamweaver??
[10:12] <ThinkT510> Sail: sounds like you'd rather a wysiwyg editor
[10:12] <bjoe> bekks, i was  started to try out the experimental driver for my nvidia graphics card because my opengl stopped working .  the experimental driver did not work so i tried to  set it to use the driver previous to the one that I
[10:12] <bjoe> had been using
[10:13] <milamber> zoie: what version of ubuntu?
[10:14] <zoie> milamber: 12.10
[10:14] <Sail> ThinkT510: let me google ur reply
[10:15] <ShadowMedic>
[10:15] <bekks> benbro1: There is no such package.
[10:15] <ThinkT510> Sail: wysiwyg = what you see is what you get
[10:15] <b3nj4m1n_>
[10:15] <ThinkT510> Sail: vim is a text editor
[10:16] <benbro1> bekks: there are many libreoffice packages like libreoffice-core, libreoffice-common, packages for writer, calc.... I'm sure I don't need all of them
[10:16] <milamber> zoie: it seems as though you are suffering from a similar bug/issue as this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mono/+bug/591547
[10:16] <Sail> ThinkT510: can i get  wysiwyg  same features in vim
[10:16] <milamber> Sail: no, look at bluefish
[10:17] <ThinkT510> Sail: can you open pictures with a text editor?
[10:17] <bjoe> so lets say i've booted up the system and logged in
[10:17] <milamber> !bluefish
[10:17] <milamber> !info bluefish
[10:17] <bjoe> how do i get an xwindows going if my kernel is broken?
[10:17] <bjoe> but i can log into tty1
[10:17] <Linux_Cub> hi
[10:17] <milamber> bjoe: startx ?
[10:18] <bjoe> startx doesnt work
[10:18] <b3nj4m1n_> Linux_Cub: hi
[10:18] <bekks> bjoe: Your kernel is not broken, but just your graphics driver installation.
[10:18] <Barb_> Hi guys, I'm having the following rather strange problem: I have an ubuntu 12.10 install on a toshiba laptop intended for use as a home theatre PC. This laptop cannot see or connect to my own WiFi. The same laptop can also connect to literally any other WiFi with no issues. All other machines in the house (a wide variety of phones and laptops) can see and connect to this WiFi fine. It is specifically an issue between this router and laptop. Anyone know what co
[10:18] <Barb_> uld be going on?
[10:18] <bekks> bjoe: Did you try to install the stable, official driver from the repos again?
[10:18] <ThinkT510> bjoe: if your kernel is broken you wouldn't boot
[10:18] <bjoe> bekks the kernel wasz compiled with a different graphics driver than what is installed
[10:19] <Cub> why does linux suckl
[10:19] <bjoe> i did try to install the stable driver
[10:19] <Cub> why does linux suck
[10:19] <bekks> A kernel, technically, cannot even be compiled with a graphics driver the way you think.
[10:19] <cfhowlett> Barb_: pretty sure you've got a router/computer issue.
[10:19] <cfhowlett> !ot|Cub:
[10:19] <bekks> bjoe: So your kernel is not broken, but only your graphics driver installation.
[10:19] <zoie> milamber: i removed sh and zsh
[10:19] <Barb_> cfhowlett, That much I know. Before I start digging into the router, anything that could be causing this on ubuntu's end?
[10:19] <cfhowlett> Cub: if you have a specific request, please ask.  Opinions are welcome in the offtopic channel
[10:19] <zoie> from /bin
[10:19] <zoie> what should i do now?
[10:20] <milamber> zoie: typically a restart is required for those changes to take effect
[10:20] <ThinkT510> zoie: why did you do that?
[10:20] <Cub> cfhowlett: whats the off topic channel
[10:20] <bekks> zoie: Get them back, somehow.
[10:20] <Barb_> cfhowlett, Same behaviour in both wicd and nm, btw
[10:20] <bekks> zoie: Most likely, from your backup.
[10:20] <cfhowlett> Barb_: did you authorize connecting to unknown channels?
[10:20] <milamber> zoie: just the symlinks yeah?
[10:20] <cfhowlett> Barb_: sorry, unknown networks?
[10:20] <b3nj4m1n_> cfhowlett: how do i get to the offtopic channel?
[10:20] <bjoe> right now tty7 says *stopping GNOME Display Manager [Ok]  "newline"   utility, e. g.   zservice S20gdm start
[10:20] <bekks> !ot > b3nj4m1n_
[10:20] <zoie> milamber: bekks ThinkT510 : the guy was saying: "I just 'rm -f /bin/sh' and then make the link to zsh or dash using 'ln -s'."
[10:20] <Barb_> cfhowlett, I have never heard of that feature. Googling it now
[10:21] <ThinkT510> zoie: that is a very bad idea
[10:21] <bekks> zoie: Which is a good approach to nuke a system.
[10:21] <zoie> i don't have sh or zsh anymore
[10:21] <b3nj4m1n_> ubottu, how do i see my private messages?
[10:21] <bekks> zoie: Then get them back from your backup.
[10:21] <Cub> this is gay
[10:21] <Cub> im getting frustrated
[10:21] <zoie> bekks: i don't have backup
[10:22] <bekks> zoie: Then most likely you have to backup your data (which might be important, still), and reinstall.
[10:22] <b3nj4m1n_> !ot
[10:22] <zoie> reinstall ubuntu? that won't be necessary just for "sh"
[10:22] <cfhowlett> Cub:  ask a support question with details.  Otherwise, we will assume you are trolling ...
[10:22] <ThinkT510> cfhowlett: he left
[10:22] <bekks> zoie: If you know better... you dont even have a backup.
[10:23] <bjoe> ddxSigGiveUp: closingX
[10:23] <cfhowlett> ThinkT510: and Happy Holidays to all
[10:23] <zoie> i have nothing important to backup, obviously
[10:23] <bjoe> or closing log
[10:23] <ThinkT510> zoie: then reinstall
[10:23] <zoie> lol
[10:24] <bjoe> i have too much stuff to not loose or i would just reformat and start over
[10:24] <zoie> anyway the fix didn't help,
[10:24] <zoie> still have the same erros
[10:24] <zoie> errors*
[10:24] <ThinkT510> zoie: what fix are you referring to?
[10:24] <rimas> how bad is it to use /data vs /var/data for huge storage medium in regards to complying with unix filesystem standards? :)
[10:24] <zoie> ThinkT510: removing sh and replacing it with dash
[10:25] <rimas> (I'm currently using /var/data, but /data seems more pretty)
[10:25] <ThinkT510> rimas: standards aren't there to be pretty
[10:25] <bjoe> my grub is not showing up on the monitor and i have to guess about which image is booting  otherwise i would give one of you a shell account and see if you could log in and fix the thing for me
[10:25] <cfhowlett> Barb_: could be that the "connect to unknown/new network" is specific to iOS.  I don't seem to see a reference to it for ubuntu.  So ...
[10:26] <rimas> ThinkT510: yeah, that's why I'm feeling bad about wanting to change it to /data :]
[10:26] <bjoe> currently this one is booted into an image that is not a recovery console so i do not have the networking started up
[10:26] <Barb_> cfhowlett, ok, fair enough. No wonder I didn't see anything about it
[10:26] <ThinkT510> rimas: i'm not sure why you are storing your stuff in var
[10:27] <milamber> bjoe: you are using a lot of terms that don't really make sense
[10:27] <ThinkT510> rimas: /media seems a more sensible place
[10:27] <rimas> well, it's supposed to be public data storage, so /var/data/Music
[10:27] <cfhowlett> Barb_: sorry.  Anyway, I'd guess that your router has your computer blocked for some reason ...
[10:27] <bjoe> milamber: like what?
[10:27] <Barb_> Ok, this is strange. According to ifconfig -a, there's eth0, eth1 and lo. And none of them support scanning from iwlist
[10:28] <ThinkT510> !fhs | rimas
[10:28] <cfhowlett> Barb_: can you login to the router interface and see your connection settings?
[10:28] <Barb_> cfhowlett, Doing that now
[10:28] <milamber> bjoe: what exactly is happening and what exactly are you expecting to happen? what do you mean by image? and if it is *not* a recovery console why does that mean there is no networking?
[10:28] <rimas> ThinkT510: that 2TB drive is internal, not external, so I don't want to mount it to /media :/
[10:29] <bjoe> ubottu:  do you have a reference about how ubunti starts and which config files are used
[10:29] <ShadowMedic>
[10:29] <ThinkT510> rimas: you also wouldn't want to put it just under root (/data)
[10:30] <bjoe> milamber: if I was booted up with the recovery cnsole there  is a menu item that says start up networking
[10:30] <ThinkT510> !upstart | bjoe
[10:30] <bjoe> i dont know how to get it all started at this time without using that little menu  item
[10:31] <rimas> also, /var/data/Music currently symlinks to /var/data1/Music in case I'd want to move folders to another disk or so and that /var/data/* paths do not change (used in torrent client, media players, etc.)
[10:31] <milamber> bjoe: as far as i can tell, i thought you were having display driver issues?
[10:31] <rimas> so even if I move the disk mount point from /var/data1 to /media/data1 (which might be quite ok), the problem with /var/data remains
[10:31] <ThinkT510> rimas: what is wrong with keeping it as it is then?
[10:32] <Barb_> cfhowlett, I can't find anything that could explain this. I even have a DHCP rezervation for it (which of course I cleared to test if that was making a difference)
[10:32] <rimas> the 'wrong' is that I see it as /var/data everywhere and I'd rather see just /data.. and I'm conflicted about the change :(
[10:32] <bjoe> haha no wonder i'm lost
[10:32] <Barb_> I'm pretty confident at this point it's something wrong with my broadcom WiFi card
[10:33] <Barb_> Or the ubuntu drivers for it
[10:33] <ThinkT510> rimas: because you see the full path?
[10:33] <cfhowlett> Barb_: well, how drastic do you want to attack this?  Perhaps a router reset to default settings?
[10:33] <bjoe> milamber: yes I am having displaqy driver issues
[10:33] <milamber> Barb_: did the laptop ever connect to the home network? what is the security you are using on the home router?
[10:33] <rimas> ThinkT510: yeah, it uses space and looks less pretty :]
[10:33] <cfhowlett> Barb_: oh, essential info!
[10:33] <Barb_> cfhowlett, It was able to for a period, then one day it stopped being able to connect
[10:33] <ThinkT510> rimas: i'd say you don't have an actual problem
[10:33] <Barb_> Back when this was on 12.04
[10:33] <cfhowlett> Barb_: LOL.  OK, I'm teasing.  But I do have a bit of experience with broadcom ...
[10:34] <Barb_> milamber, Security is WPA 2 Personal
[10:34] <rimas> ThinkT510: well, a firstworldproblem :D
[10:34] <rimas> anyway, I'm gonna mount the drive to /media/data1 instead of /var/data1. so thank's for that :)
[10:34] <milamber> bjoe: ok, what is the issue? was x working now it isn't? did it break after an update? is this a first install?
[10:34] <rimas> and we'll see about symlinks later on
[10:34] <omar> Hi all.
[10:35] <Barb_> cfhowlett, A full router reset isn't really an option. It has some nasty filtering defaults that took me a long time to clean up
[10:35] <milamber> Barb_: so this has been an issue since an upgrade?
[10:35] <milamber> Barb_: have you looked for/deleted the profile (in your networks)?
[10:35] <ThinkT510> rimas: also if you are worried about your torrents going to the old directory you can just change their setting to point to the new one
[10:35] <Barb_> milamber, Exactly the opposite. I upgraded hoping it would solve the problem...
[10:35] <cfhowlett> Barb_: so you upgraded to 12.10.  I've been manually building the broadcom driver for the past 2 ubuntu releases.  But the fact fact that it worked at all and THEN failed is suspicious.  If you had  a kernel upgrade I could see it falling out ... maybe.
[10:36] <omar> For some reason, when I try to use the internal microphone, the input volume decreases automatically. What could be the reason for that?
[10:36] <bjoe> milamber: thanks
[10:36] <Barb_> milamber, And yes, I even tried setting it up manually
[10:36] <bjoe> what is this friendly-recovery thing?
[10:36] <milamber> Barb_: and not to ask an obvious question, but your home network isn't 'hidden' is it?
[10:37] <rimas> ThinkT510: sure, but I'd like my torrents to be medium-agnostic.   Worked like a charm.
[10:37] <rimas> yeah, thanks ;)
[10:38] <omar> For some reason, when I try to use the internal microphone, the input volume decreases automatically. What could be the reason for that?
[10:38] <omar> sorry, that was by mistake..
[10:38] <Barb_> Ok, everyone is shouting at me because it's christmas and apparently me trying to fix stuff is awful :P
[10:38] <Barb_> I'll try and fix this later
[10:38] <Barb_> Thanks anyways guys
[10:39] <cfhowlett> Barb_: good luck
[10:42] <Prufrock> Hello there?
[10:43] <cfhowlett> Prufrock: greetings
[10:44] <Prufrock> cfhowlett, I am having this problem with my microphone. Whenever I try to use it, the input volume decreases automatically.
[10:45] <Prufrock> I'm wondering what the reason for this could be..?
[10:45] <cfhowlett> Prufrock: hey.  Yeah, I saw that.  I don't have a clue, though.  Sorry
[10:46] <Prufrock> cfhowlett, thanks anyways. :)
[10:50] <bjoe> Hey  I have an idea!   ok the drive that has the broken display adapter driver has like 3 or more partitions.
[10:50] <bjoe> partition 1 was my working linux
[10:51] <bjoe> partition 2 was an old laptop linux partition copy that i was backing up
[10:51] <bjoe> partition 3 is windows
[10:52] <bjoe> so if i can like copy the home folder from partition 2 onto partition one then use partition 2  to install a brand new fresh ubuntu studio 12.10?
[10:52] <bjoe> would that work?
[10:57] <b33nj> hi
[10:57] <Sail> hi
[10:57] <b33nj> have you found the wysiwyg plugin for vim?
[10:58]  * arkiver wishes Merry Christmas to all  :)
[10:59] <b33nj> sail: hav eyou found wysiwyg plugin for vim?
[11:03] <JohnFlux> Hi
[11:03] <b33nj> JohnFlux: hi
[11:03] <JohnFlux> I've hit a kernel bug in 12.10 and wondering if I can use the kernel from 12.04?
[11:03] <JohnFlux> but an older kernel in 12.04.  The very latest 12.04 kernel also has the bug :-/
[11:09] <Cisce> I need help, fast.
[11:09] <Cisce> After re-installing Windows 7, my ext4 partition is free space.
[11:10] <Cisce> I had quite a lot of important files on there.
[11:10] <ThinkT510> Cisce: how are you trying to access it?
[11:10] <milamber> JohnFlux: old kernels should still be in your grub menu
[11:11] <Cisce> Well, I basically went to recover my grub menu
[11:11] <N8Wulf> From your Windows or from Linux?
[11:11] <Cisce> from my Ubuntu livecd.
[11:11] <Cisce> Turns out that my ext4 partition is free space and that there's no trace of grub.
[11:11] <Cisce> I'm so confused.
[11:11] <N8Wulf> Did u encrypt the partitions?
[11:11] <Cisce> nope.
[11:11] <milamber> Cisce: just for the sake of saying it, if you are using the disk now, stop immediately
[11:12] <Cisce> crap.
[11:12] <Cisce> This is my only HDD.
[11:12] <Cisce> It can't fail on me.
[11:12]  * cfhowlett DOH
[11:12] <N8Wulf> Cisce: I also could not access my Home partition which was Password protected
[11:12] <JohnFlux> milamber: thanks
[11:12] <ThinkT510> Cisce: you really ought to have a backup
[11:12] <Cisce> I did have backups.
[11:12] <Cisce> Just not of this.
[11:13] <Cisce> Because I didn't expect my partition to screw over that fast.
[11:13] <N8Wulf> Once I installed Ubuntu witht he right user/password I could access all again.
[11:13] <ThinkT510> Cisce: always install windows first
[11:13] <Cisce> I was planning on uploading the files to my dropbox.
[11:13] <Cisce> That's what I usually do.
[11:13] <ThinkT510> Cisce: if you knew you were going to reinstall windows then backups would have been prudent
[11:14] <Cisce> Well I just expected it to be a quick format and installation.
[11:14] <Cisce> And it was.
[11:14] <Cisce> Unfortunately, until now I didn't realize that my Ubuntu partition was destroyed in the process.
[11:14] <Cisce> How? I have no clue.
[11:14] <milamber> Cisce: well, you should be running of a livedisk right now. any file operations you are performing while using that hdd is destroying more and more of what you could possibly recover
[11:14] <Cisce> Okay, I'll reboot into my live cd right now.
[11:15] <milamber> Cisce: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[11:17] <Cisce1> okay, I'm back.
[11:18] <milamber> Cisce1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[11:18] <Cisce1> How would I go about possibly restoring data that was lost?
[11:18] <Cisce1> milamber: thanks.
[11:18] <Cisce1> "This guides applies to Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10 and 8.04." Will this still work?
[11:18] <poseid> hello.. i am setting up a VM... but now, get this:  libsqlite3-0 (= 3.7.9-2ubuntu1) but 3.7.9-2ubuntu1.1
[11:18] <milamber> Cisce1: yes
[11:18] <Cisce1> just making sure.
[11:20] <milamber> Cisce: also look at a prog called extundelete, i am pretty sure there was just a new release
[11:20] <Cisce> thanks.
[11:20] <Cisce> For all I know, I may have accidentally deleted this. I really doubt I did though.
[11:25] <milamber> Cisce: did you reinstall windows on the whole disk? if not, it could just be your partition table is borked
[11:25] <Cisce> I didn't.
[11:26] <Cisce> I installed Windows on /dev/sda1 (440gb) while the partition I'm trying to restore (/sda6) is 47gb
[11:26] <ThinkT510> Cisce: does gparted show it as free space (where your partition was)
[11:26] <Cisce> yes
[11:26] <Cisce> That's what made me to go that conclusion.
[11:26] <milamber> Cisce: oh, then you just borked grub
[11:26] <milamber> !grub2
[11:26] <Cisce> really?
[11:26] <Cisce> oh thank god.
[11:27] <Cisce> but I ran boot-repair with no luck.
[11:27] <ThinkT510> Cisce: if gparted sees it as free space then that isn't good
[11:28] <Cisce> what's the safest method I could go about getting my data back? The installation isn't too important.
[11:29] <ThinkT510> Cisce: windows always overwrites the bootloader so grub was going to vanish in any case but it seems to me that when windows was reinstalled it must have overwritten a bit of your ext4 partition
[11:29] <ThinkT510> Cisce: i've never tried them but you could use testdisk or photorec
[11:30] <ThinkT510> Cisce: or as has been suggested extundelete
[11:30] <Cisce> I've installed extundelete.
[11:30] <ThinkT510> Cisce: i could tell you how to use them sorry
[11:30] <Cisce> but I haven't gotten around to properly using it yet as I was looking for a guide.
[11:30] <ThinkT510> couldn't
[11:30] <golosone> !list
[11:30] <Cisce> thanks anyway
[11:30] <milamber> Cisce: can you pastebin the info from grub rescue?
[11:32] <ThinkT510> !undelete | Cisce
[11:32] <Cisce> milamber: Sorry to sound stupid, but how would I go about using grub rescue to get the info?
[11:33] <golosone> ciaoooooooooooooo
[11:33] <ThinkT510> milamber: no offence but how is he to rescue grub if the partition where grub was n longer exists
[11:34] <milamber> ThinkT510: grub resides in the mbr
[11:35] <milamber> Cisce: you can use boot-repair to create a bootinfo summary
[11:35] <ThinkT510> milamber: and requires the data from the partition it was installed in
[11:35] <cfhowlett> !it|golosone:
[11:35] <ThinkT510> milamber: he reinstalled windows so the mbr has been overwritten
[11:36] <milamber> ThinkT510: correct, which means that grub needs to be back there.
[11:36] <Cisce> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1464311/
[11:37] <milamber> Cisce: also, can you take a screenshot of your partition table from gparted?
[11:37] <Cisce> sure
[11:37] <Cisce> will do
[11:37] <ThinkT510> milamber: so if the partition no longer exists then what is grub trying to boot, where is the config files coming from?
[11:38] <Cisce> http://i.imgur.com/GL9eb.png
[11:38] <kamidi> ThinkT510. grub is on mbr and can be reinstalled after windows installation. mbr is not actual partition either
[11:38] <ThinkT510> kamidi: but the config file is on the partition
[11:39] <ThinkT510> kamidi: what is grub meant to boot then?
[11:39] <Cisce> milamber: posted it further up http://i.imgur.com/GL9eb.png
[11:39] <kamidi> ThinkT510: config files will be generated by boot-repair
[11:39] <ThinkT510> kamidi: the partition isn't there
[11:40] <Cisce> actually, it could very well be /dev/sda3
[11:40] <kamidi> ThinkT510: exactly the same way as after whole ubuntu installation. grub detects OSes and create config files accordingly
[11:40] <ThinkT510> Cisce: that is an extended partition (which would contain logical partitions)
[11:40] <kamidi> ThinkT510: as i understand, actual partition is intact, only mbr has been rewritten by windows
[11:41] <ThinkT510> kamidi: i disagree according to his screenshot of gparted
[11:41] <kamidi> Think510: sorry, you're right. i just checked screenshot... partition is no more :(
[11:42] <Cisce> is it impossible to recover the files or not?
[11:44] <kamidi> Cisce: i wouldn't say impossible... someone may know how to restore unallocated space to ext3/ext4 partition without causing any damage. assuming data itself have not been formatted/rewritten in any way
[11:45] <milamber> Cisce: did you do the recommended repair from boot-repair?
[11:45] <Cisce> if i ran parted like:
[11:45] <Cisce> sudo parted /dev/sda3 882075646 976771071 would that have any luck of finding anything?
[11:45] <Cisce> milamber: yep. :(
[11:45] <Cisce> Keep in mind.
[11:45] <Cisce> I did also have these files on the Windows partition
[11:45] <Cisce> before the re-install of Windows 7
[11:45] <Cisce> Any luck finding them there?
[11:45] <Cisce> sadly, it was a format but a quick format.
[11:46] <ThinkT510> Cisce: not likely since you reformatted them when you reinstalled windows
[11:46] <milamber> Cisce: for chagrins can you re-run the recommended repair and then provide the link?
[11:47] <gribouille> hi
[11:47] <Cisce> okay.
[11:47] <gribouille> how can I modify the police for the firefox menus?
[11:48] <Cisce> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1464326/
[11:48] <Cisce> milamber ^
[11:48] <milamber> Cisce: ok, can you reboot?
[11:49] <Cisce> Sure, but what into exactly?
[11:49] <Cisce> livecd or windows?
[11:49] <ThinkT510> milamber: did you see his gparted screenshot?
[11:50] <milamber> Cisce: the grub menu should pop up
[11:51] <Cisce> you sure on that?
[11:51] <milamber> ThinkT510: yes
[11:51] <Cisce> okay, will do.
[11:51] <Cisce> If it doesn't. I'll come back.
[11:51] <ThinkT510> milamber: can he recover that partition?
[11:52] <milamber> ThinkT510: possibly, he may have to use testdisk to fix the boot sector of that partition, but grub has to be in place first
[11:53] <Cisce> milamber: didn't work
[11:53] <Cisce> :(\
[11:53] <ThinkT510> milamber: would that affect his new ntfs partition?
[11:54] <milamber> Cisce: did it boot directly to windows?
[11:54] <elena-IK> is the mini.iso officially supported? will there be one for future releases?
[11:54] <Cisce> yep.
[11:54] <Cisce> booted to Windows mbr.
[11:55] <bjoe> so how do i  fix my display adapter  problem?
[11:55] <ThinkT510> bjoe: reinstall
[11:56] <bjoe> man i've got like 2 to 20 years worth of work on there
[11:56] <ThinkT510> bjoe: then why were you messing with experimental drivers
[11:56] <bjoe> i dont know
[11:56] <ThinkT510> bjoe: don't you have backups?
[11:57] <bjoe> i was in the process of getting ready to back up
[11:57] <ThinkT510> bjoe: you can still backup now
[11:57] <kamidi> bjoe: just out of curiosity... what kind of problem are you having?
[11:57] <milamber> Cisce: this is the point where i have to bow out, this is getting to the point where it is beyond my knowledge of mbrs and such. i don't know why you don't at least have grub back. that being said, i would hold off until you can talk to someone with more experience than me. Jordan_U is particularly good with this kind of stuff, so you may want to wait until they are active and ask again
[11:57] <bjoe> i wanted to test some opengl stuff out and found my mesa was not working so i went to update the driver
[11:57] <Cisce> milamber: Thanks for all of the help anyway. Sadly, I think I'm going to have to go off now.
[11:58] <Cisce> The stuff that I lost isn't heartbreaking, it's just work that I would have liked to kept, really. Along with some text files with some incredibly important notes and some docs.
[11:58] <Cisce> but overall, I can live without them. it just would have been nice to get them back.
[11:59] <RishabhTatiraju> Hey
[11:59] <ThinkT510> Cisce: at least now you know to backup before partitioning
[11:59] <Cisce> Yeah.
[11:59] <milamber> Cisce: i wouldn't give up yet, like i said, there are people that are better at this than me
[11:59] <RishabhTatiraju> my Ubuntu does not start after recent driver installation
[11:59] <Cisce> It's surprising that this is the first time that something like this has happened to me.
[11:59] <Cisce> Hell, you sure I couldn't get the files off my NTFS partition even if it was reformatted?
[12:00] <Cisce> It was a quick format, so I imagine the data *could* still be there. Unlikely though.
[12:00] <ThinkT510> Cisce: you might be able to but i wouldn't know how sorry
[12:00] <Cisce> Well both of you guys have been great help. I really do appreciate your efforts.
[12:00] <RishabhTatiraju> is there any way i can recover from this?
[12:00] <ThinkT510> Cisce: there is a ##windows channel, maybe they know of utilities for recovery from ntfs
[12:00] <bjoe> you would have to find a file using the bios disk read and put the data together one sector at a time
[12:01] <Cisce> thanks. :)
[12:01] <Ben64> Recuva works well on fat32, and probably ntfs
[12:02] <RishabhTatiraju> anybody?
[12:02] <bjoe> i dont know how the unix file system chains together chunks of files  but i would imagine it's not a whole lot different than dos
[12:03] <Cisce> just a shame that I'm awake at 5 in the morning *on christmas* trying to figure this out.
[12:04] <bjoe> mine will not start up in xwindows either  i would like to get back to work on stuff like this https://soundcloud.com/xensynth3/simp10plus13eighths-frac2
[12:04] <Gierus> ŋuþó
[12:05] <RishabhTatiraju> milamber, is there any way i can get to terminal using the LiveCD and uninstall the drivers?
[12:07] <Gierus> µaŧĸu bosaĸ
[12:08] <Gierus> ŋdzið ja ĸryć cd ó linux ?
[12:08] <Gierus> ó ?]
[12:09] <ThinkT510> !pl | Gierus
[12:11] <Cisce> btw ThinkT150
[12:12] <Cisce> milamber
[12:12] <Cisce> on testdisk I have found my partition
[12:12] <ThinkT510> !yay | Cisce
[12:12] <milamber> awesome
[12:13] <Cisce> sadly
[12:13] <Cisce> some of it has already been rewritten i think
[12:13] <Cisce> :L(
[12:13] <Cisce> BUT
[12:13] <Cisce> one of my most important files
[12:13] <Cisce> thats priceless
[12:13] <Cisce> IS STILL THERE <3
[12:13] <FloodBot1> Cisce: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:13] <ThinkT510> Cisce: partial recovery is better than no recovery
[12:14] <dwatkins> I assume you're now backing it up to a USB stick, Cisce :)
[12:14] <Cisce> doing that right now ;)
[12:18] <Cisce> Is it possible to change the directory I'm copying it to on testdisk?
[12:19] <Cisce> I Just realized I was copying to my xubuntu livecd by accident
[12:19] <Cisce> (which is on the usb, ironically enough)
[12:19] <milamber> Cisce: what command did you use to start the copy?
[12:19] <Cisce> c
[12:22] <kwyman1020> newbie question. when using rm -rf, is there a way to make an exception for content for the command to ignore?
[12:22] <milamber> Cisce: it should have asked you where you wanted to save the files?
[12:22] <Cisce> It did.
[12:22] <MonkeyDust> kwyman1020  when your're a beginnen, you should not use that command
[12:22] <Cisce> But I was wondering if I could change where it was saving now.
[12:22] <Cisce> Instead of doing the process again.
[12:22] <Cisce> because I can't change where it's saving to now.
[12:23] <kwyman1020> MonkeyDust, it's a dir I created and a package that was ran saved a lot of tmp files to the dir
[12:23] <milamber> Cisce: are you asking if you can change it while it is running? i don't think so
[12:23] <ThinkT510> Cisce: can you copy it from where it was saving to to where you want it to after?
[12:23] <Cisce> yes.
[12:23] <Cisce> but I can't open the files.
[12:23] <kwyman1020> I want to be able to remove all the tmp files but ignore the content I want to keep.
[12:23] <Cisce> owner's listed as root
[12:24] <ThinkT510> Cisce: open it with sudo or change the user
[12:24] <ThinkT510> owner
[12:24] <Cisce> thanks
[12:24] <Cisce> Didn't think of opening it as sudo ;)
[12:25] <milamber> Cisce: that's because your ubuntu user created the files, so you can either chown them or copy to the new install
[12:25] <Cisce> well it worked.
[12:25] <MonkeyDust> kwyman1020  guess you need an extensive command for that, or even a script, better ask in #bash
[12:25] <kwyman1020> Cisce: Sudo borrows permissions from root in order to perform a task otherwise only ran as root.
[12:25] <milamber> !gksu | Cisce
[12:26] <kwyman1020> Thanks MonkeyDust, I was thinking a script as well. I'm not a full on beginner, it was just a newbie question because I haven't touched terminal in a good while.
[12:28] <Sail_> any plugin for vim so when i am code some like html with  css and side by side i can see graphical representation of this code like dreamweaver??
[12:28] <kwyman1020> MonkeyDust, where might I be able to find a list of command extensions online? If you know.
[12:29] <Cisce> overall.
[12:29] <Cisce> I can't thank you guys enough for the help ;)
[12:29] <Cisce> I was terrified when I thought I lost everything, but a majority of my files are here!
[12:29] <kwyman1020> Sail_ there are vim plugins that color code and list line numbers for assistance like dreamweaver.
[12:29] <ThinkT510> Cisce: and you learned about backups to prevent the issue again
[12:30] <Cisce> yep.
[12:30] <Cisce> Well I already backup.
[12:30] <Cisce> these files I just never thought to backup at this moment. :/
[12:30] <Cisce> I've learnt that I should always backup before a format, regardless of if it's outside the partition I'm formatting on.
[12:31] <ThinkT510> Cisce: yeah, partitioning always has the potential to go wrong
[12:31] <MonkeyDust> kwyman1020  http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/
[12:31] <milamber> Sail_: multiple people have told you no. vim is not a gui. the closest thing in ubuntu is a program called bluefish
[12:31] <bekks> milamber: Sail_: gvim
[12:31] <MonkeyDust> Sail_  try kompozer
[12:32] <milamber> (06:30:34 AM) Cisce: <snip> I've learnt that I should always backup </snip>
[12:32] <Cisce> yep. :)
[12:33] <bjoe> i've been continuing without a back up trying o figure out the best way to do the backup
[12:34] <ThinkT510> bjoe: copy files to an external drive
[12:34] <bekks> !backup > bjoe
[12:34] <bjoe> thanks
[12:35] <bjoe> i also have been trying to figure out where everything is at. most of the important stuff is in home thank goodness
[12:36] <ThinkT510> bjoe: usually the most important thing to backup are your own files (you should already know where they are)
[12:36] <milamber> bjoe: often people will have a separate partition for ~ <home>
[12:37] <bjoe> yes that is the most important thing to backup.
[12:37] <bjoe> so out of all those backup programs which will span multiple dvds?
[12:38] <bjoe> i'm a bit confused about the seperate home partition , how do you mount it ?
[12:38] <iceroot> bjoe: deja-dup can create multiple files with a specific size but its also creating diffs to the last backup, so dvd would not be the best solution because you have to insert the old backups to create the diff
[12:39] <bjoe> that would be tedious
[12:39] <kwyman1020> MonkeyDust: Thank you.
[12:41] <mvt007geek> i installed ubuntu on sdcard.now i want connect pandaboard to my computer.but at the end of this address   http://pandaboard.org/content/resources/getting-started     has been wrote  :  Do not connect the power supply yet; we will connect this in a later step
[12:41] <mvt007geek> why? will it cause damage to my system?
[12:41] <bjoe> lots of times i will just take and copy parts of a home folder from one compter to the desktop of another and work from there so i have a bunch of copies of the same project at different levels of development
[12:41] <luigi69> Good morning.
[12:43] <milamber> bjoe: sounds like you need !svn or git or the new one all the kids are talking about - hg
[12:45] <benbro1> is there a command line tool to conver doc to pdf other than libreoffice or openoffice?
[12:45] <benbro1> they are huge (~400MB)
[12:47] <Quink_> Maybe you can try abiword.

[14:40] <bluesm> Hi. What tool i can found to recovery data on ubuntu
[14:41] <bluesm> First of all maybe, simply "mirror" bite after bite to another disc.
[14:41] <bluesm> ?
[14:41] <compdoc> clonezilla for that
[14:41] <compdoc> cant boot a live cd?
[14:43] <bluesm> compdoc:  I can boot ubuntu. But unfortunately for example, debian live, and lenovo diagnostic linux can't boot.
[14:44] <compdoc> why is that, do you think?
[14:44] <compdoc> hardware?
[14:45] <Googol30> Do the other Linux distros display any errors?

[14:56] <dowdyph0> iDangerMouse, Zindabad
[14:57] <operatormplik> aller
[14:57] <compdoc> bluesm, what I usually do is attach the disk to a working PC and try to recover the files
[14:57] <dowdyph0> bluesm use rsync dd, or such tool
[15:00] <echo> hi
[15:00] <echo> hello
[15:01] <iDangerMouse> Hey echo whats up
[15:01] <wei> Hello
[15:02] <wei> How to synchronize USB drive with a folder?
[15:02] <joey8> wei→ have you tried luckybackup?
[15:03] <wei> Not heard of it yet
[15:03] <joey8> that uses rsync and it is very good, clean, user friendly etc etc and written by a great bunch of guys
[15:04] <Gierus> ŋówno
[15:04] <albatard> salutations à tous
[15:04] <joey8> a vous aussi mon ami ヅ
[15:04] <wei> Is it in the ubuntu repository?
[15:05] <joey8> wei - go and look
[15:06] <albatard> wei, see the man pages of the terminal
[15:07] <albatard> wei, a thing like "man rsync"
[15:09] <wei> rsync is used for sychronizing between hosts
[15:09] <adac> What exactly do I have to set in fstab so that every user can read the mounted device?
[15:10] <Gierus> Ωoł ŧo ŋaten þa¶titią uµ ŋnome
[15:10] <theadmin> adac: Depends on the filesystem, but try umask=0333 (readonly) or umask=0000 (full access)
[15:10] <Abhijit> Gierus, english
[15:10] <dasdre> hi
[15:11] <dasdre> i'm trying to connect a computer running ubuntu 12.10 unity to wlan
[15:11] <wei> then?
[15:11] <albatard> wei, as a start point, browse the "successive see also" ... I do not now ^^
[15:11] <theadmin> dasdre: So what exactly is the problem?
[15:11] <dasdre> it can't seem to find any networks
[15:12] <adac> theadmin, I tried this and many other combinations, but it doesn't seem that those options are applied  "/dev/sdb1 /media/Hitachi_fstab fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,umask=0000,fmask=0111 0 0"
[15:12] <dasdre> and when i manually engter a network, it wont connect
[15:12] <dasdre> propetiary drivers are on
[15:12] <theadmin> adac: ...what kind of fs type is "fuseblk"? That might very well not recognize umask
[15:12] <bluesm> compdoc: If I put the disk another laptop, it turn off on the bios..
[15:13] <ercicala> CIAO
[15:13] <ercicala> !list
[15:13] <adac> theadmin, actually I'm not really sure. I got this from the autmount "mount" command
[15:13] <dasdre> wired works fine
[15:13] <wanfuse> hello ... i havent had much experience with bind in many years. I need to setup a dns server (external facing) for a couple web server entries. Anyone able to point me to a good doc on setting this up. I would like to make sure its secure. I would rather run it in a chroot as well if i can find the directions for it
[15:13] <adac> theadmin, Ther short answer is that "fuseblk" is just how an ntfs partition is reported via the "mount" command, among others. The "fuse" part comes from FUSE (file system in userspace).
[15:14] <theadmin> adac: Eh. What's the actual filesystem on the device?
[15:14] <dasdre> AFAIK, it can't seem to find the network cart
[15:14] <dasdre> *caRD
[15:14] <dasdre> just eth0
[15:14] <adac> theadmin, gparted says: ntfs as well
[15:15] <dasdre> anyone?
[15:16] <theadmin> adac: Okay, use this: /dev/sdb1 /media/Hitachi_fstab ntfs-3g defaults,dmask=0000,fmask=0111 0 0"
[15:16] <TheLordOfTime> dasdre, what card?
[15:17] <dowdyph0> dasdre make ~ $ lspci -v | grep -i "\(network\|ethernet\)"
[15:17] <adac> theadmin, that did the trick. thank you!
[15:17] <dasdre> äccording to propetiary drivers: Broadcom BCM4311
[15:18] <theadmin> adac: "fuseblk" doesn't work in fstab by the way, it's a FUSE thing, and fuse and fstab are kind of the opposite of each other
[15:19] <adac> theadmin, I see! To bad fstab doesn't throw an error though
[15:19] <dowdyph0> ok 1 sec
[15:19] <theadmin> adac: Normally it does
[15:19] <vishnu> Iam on 12.02 -apps open slow. Which monitor to use to check slow mem or problem app?
[15:19] <theadmin> vishnu: There's no such Ubuntu release as 12.02
[15:21] <dasdre> paste.ubuntu.com/1464673
[15:21] <dasdre> thats sudo lshw-c network
[15:22] <vishnu> theadmin: maybe 12.04 -this thing is slow, not even able to open a gnome-terminal to see. I am not good at linux though. Any idea please?
[15:23] <xomrk> how to combine dd with compression
[15:23] <xomrk> ?

[15:27] <dasdre> says cant find directory

[15:30] <Nece228> Hello, is it worth to buy hybrid graphics laptop (intel + nvidia)?
[15:30] <dowdyph0> xomrk: dd < foo.bar | bzip2 > foo.bz2
[15:30] <b2coutts> I have a networking issue; it doesn't seem like I can make new connections (ping google.ca doesn't work), yet I can still chat here (SSHing to a server with irssi). I can't open new SSH connections, but since this one is already open it seems to be working
[15:30] <b2coutts> does anyone know where the network config files are in ubuntu that I can poke at? Internet works fine from other machines by the way
[15:30] <max999> b2coutts: looks like name resolution is broken to me
[15:30] <max999> b2coutts, can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[15:31] <DarkSim_> Does a live-usb with ubuntu 12.04 work with a macbook?
[15:31] <dowdyph0> look if there is /etc/resolv.conf
[15:31] <DarkSim_> just wondering if I have to do anything special to try ubuntu on a macbook without installing
[15:31] <b2coutts> hmm, that's weird, /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to localhost
[15:31] <max999> b2coutts, check if you can ping the ip =)
[15:31] <b2coutts> is that normal? does ubuntu do some sort of dns proxy by default?
[15:31] <max999> b2coutts, if you can you are sure name resolution is the problem.
[15:31] <dowdyph0> dasdre try this: ifconfig -a
[15:31] <Abhijit> !mac | DarkSim_
[15:32] <OerHeks> b2coutts, you can't ping a website, try an IP like <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:32] <b2coutts> yeah, IPs work, it's a dns issue of some sort
[15:32] <b2coutts> does anyone know google's dns address? I can't look it up
[15:32] <phy1729> <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:32] <dowdyph0> um thats because the supremacy of the NetworkManager
[15:32] <phy1729> <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:33] <DarkSim_> should be <IP_ADDRESS>.1.3 if you know what I mean ;)
[15:33] <dasdre> b2coutts: <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:33] <b2coutts> and to apply the changes, is it service networking restart?
[15:34] <b2coutts> (the changes to resolv.conf)
[15:34] <dasdre> paste.ubuntu.com/1464697
[15:34] <dasdre> darksim: you have to makre special usb
[15:35] <dowdyph0> b2coutts: watch out with restarting NetworkManager
[15:35] <dowdyph0> b2coutts: I've had problems a week ago with that, all the desktop falls
[15:35] <dasdre> DarkSim_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick
[15:35] <b2coutts> hmm, I noticed that my laptop has a nameserver of <IP_ADDRESS> in resolv.conf too, but it's working fine
[15:36] <b2coutts> not used to how ubuntu handles this, is there some other file that configures the dns server it uses?
[15:36] <TheLordOfTime> b2coutts, if you're using networkmanager, it autofills data.
[15:36] <DarkSim_> I guess I asked the wrong question
[15:36] <dasdre> b2coutts: googles ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:36] <dowdyph0> b2coutts: I've got that nameserver too, the networkmanager service starts dnsmasq and dhcp service so the dns's does not depend of resolv.conf
[15:36] <DarkSim_> can a live usb I make in Windows, which works with windows, work on a macbook as well?
[15:36] <dasdre> darksim: that usb will AFAIK be live
[15:36] <DarkSim_> but since there are specific guides on this I guess not
[15:37] <b2coutts> well, at the very least, changing the nameserver in resolv.conf did fix the issue
[15:37] <dasdre> darksim: nope
[15:37] <b2coutts> (even if this isn't the intended config for ubuntu dns)
[15:37] <b2coutts> so thanks guys
[15:37] <dowdyph0> dasdre: now what's the problem?
[15:37] <dasdre> but you can afaik make a usb with ubuntu mac and ubuntu pc and make them share files
[15:37] <dowdyph0> do you have wireless-tools installed¿?
[15:37] <dasdre> dow: same as 5 mins ago ;)
[15:38] <dasdre> leme see
[15:38] <DarkSim_> Hm, but I mean just try the live usb
[15:38] <DarkSim_> not install it
[15:38] <dasdre> dow: i dont
[15:38] <dowdyph0> so that's a problem xD
[15:38] <dasdre> dark: that usb can be used for live too
[15:39] <dowdyph0> if you dont' have wireless-tools package you can't use wireless xD
[15:39] <dowdyph0> dasdre: sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant wireless-tools

[15:42] <dowdyph0> dasdre: try ifconfig -a
[15:42] <dowdyph0> your wireless nic name should appear there
[15:42] <ThinkT510> madshrms: whats the question?
[15:42] <Abhijit> madshrms, ##hardware
[15:42] <madshrms> i'd like to know if two components are compatible
[15:43] <madshrms> my graphic card is probably gonna die soon (artifacts on screen etc) and i'd like to replace it with one from another computer but i don't know how to determine if the card will be compatible with my motherboard
[15:43] <Abhijit> madshrms, ##hardware
[15:43] <dasdre> dowdyph: paste.ubuntu.com/1464711
[15:43] <dasdre> it did not
[15:43] <Abhijit> madshrms, not here
[15:44] <madshrms> thanks abhijit i'll head over there
[15:44] <BluesKaj> mad if the card fits into the available pci slot then it should work
[15:44] <BluesKaj> madshrms,^
[15:44] <madshrms> oh it's that simple
[15:44] <dowdyph0> dasdre ok you dont have the module loaded 1 sec
[15:44] <madshrms> well i'll still ask in hardware but i guess i'm just gonna try to put it in
[15:44] <madshrms> thanks
[15:44] <dasdre> Progress!
[15:45] <BluesKaj> mad you also need to install the right drivers for the card
[15:45] <Googol30> Can you run a virtualized instance of Vista from inside Ubuntu Server 12.04, or do you need a window manager?
[15:46] <dowdyph0> dasdre: try sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms
[15:48] <Googol30> Is that possible, or is it a requirement to have a window manager such as LXDE?
[15:49] <dowdyph0> dasdre: is it working now?
[15:49] <dasdre> dowdyph0: cant find package
[15:49] <dasdre> broadcom-sta-dmks?
[15:49] <OerHeks> Googol30, you need the virtualising software compatible with your vista instance
[15:49] <dowdyph0> yes
[15:50] <dowdyph0> broadcom-sta-dkms
[15:50] <dowdyph0> dkms
[15:50] <ThinkT510> dasdre: dkms not dmks
