[00:00] <Krywk> I can go on...
[00:00] <JimmyNeutron> ActionParsnip: Let me try sudo fsck -y and see what happens.
[00:00] <chaospsychex> Krywk: how are you going to record playthroughs of those on ubuntu? your feeding the video/audio into the ubuntu comp ?
[00:00] <Krywk> I've already managed to record Afraid of Monsters, but just mic.
[00:00] <Krywk> :/
[00:01] <Krywk> I'm using WINE.
[00:01] <chaospsychex> Krywk: what's your youtube channel called?
[00:01] <Krywk> I haven't uploaded anything since I couldn't record the game's audio.
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> JimmyNeutron: you need to specify the partition to test
[00:02] <Krywk> So it would be irrelevant to give you my channel name.
[00:02] <usr13> remu: On behalf of the server, "Flags [P.]" means data being "pushed" or sent.  Dono what to make of it other than the client is just not receiving or ....?
[00:02] <chaospsychex> Krywk: i could be talking to one of the big boys though...
[00:02] <remu> hmm, not sure
[00:02] <Krywk> chaospsychex, nope. I'm not famous and will not be anytime soon. :P
[00:02] <JimmyNeutron> ActionParsnip: Ok.  Let me try that and see if Ubuntu GUI sees my partitions.  I'll let you know shortly.
[00:02] <usr13> remu: Just guessing ... kind of like talking but not listening...?
[00:03] <chaospsychex> Krywk: ok, do you have teamviewer ?
[00:03] <Krywk> Yes, I do.
[00:03] <remu> right right, and that seems to make sense with what the log is saying
[00:03] <remu> that theres no supported protocl
[00:04] <Krywk> Are you going to control my PC and see all my porn gallery? (?)
[00:04] <chaospsychex> Krywk: what's the program called you are using to modify the mixer settings? you said pavucontrol ?
[00:04] <usr13> remu: Well, I don't know, I dont really have much experience troubleshooting samba, I'm mostly done it by trial and error methods, (as I do most projects :)
[00:04] <Krywk> Yep.
[00:04] <remu> lol, thanks for your help usr13, i appreciate it.
[00:05] <chaospsychex> Krywk: one sec
[00:05] <Krywk> kk
[00:06] <JimmyNeutron> ActionParsnip: DIdn't work.  Hmmm..let me just do a clean wipe of the entire HDD and come back in for a 2nd installation and see if I can see my partitions.
[00:06] <usr13> remu: Via process of elemination, it appears to be a client side issue, (but I guess we knew that already).  Not sure what to look for next, (as I'm not much of a MS-Windows expert).
[00:06] <JimmyNeutron> Thanks for helping out ActionParsnip!
[00:06] <usr13> ... not that I'm an expert of any sort ...
[00:07] <remu> usr13, i think it may have something to do with registry settings i may have changed to access the shares for work the other day. i think this router change/issue may just be coincidental
[00:07] <Krywk> remu, NOTHING is coincidental. The devil is inside the router. (?)
[00:08] <remu> lol
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> JimmyNeutron: I try

[00:10] <_Trullo> what is vps?
[00:10] <johnjacobjingerh> question... i have an existing directory (/var/lib/mythtv) i want to share as a samba directory... it's owned by Root (and cant be changed)
[00:11] <johnjacobjingerh> is it still possible to share this directory?
[00:11] <Krywk> THANK you.
[00:11] <johnjacobjingerh> what permissions should it have so I can write to it
[00:11] <My> i have question, is it possible to run a vmware esxi host on ubuntu ?
[00:11] <johnjacobjingerh> My: vmware ESXi is it's own OS
[00:11] <johnjacobjingerh> so no
[00:11] <johnjacobjingerh> you can run VMware server
[00:12] <My> i want to do few testing
[00:12] <johnjacobjingerh> but VMWare ESXi is literally it's very own OS and is a host OS
[00:12] <Krywk> .seen chaospsychex
[00:12] <johnjacobjingerh> My then  u need a dedicated machine
[00:12] <johnjacobjingerh> or use vmware server
[00:12] <My> just running it on vmware workstation
[00:12] <cnf> or virtualbox
[00:12] <yeats> or kvm
[00:12] <johnjacobjingerh> so u are running vmware esxi inside a virtual machine?
[00:12] <bekks> vmware server is outdated and unsupported - for years now.
[00:12] <My> yep
[00:12] <johnjacobjingerh> bekks yes i know
[00:13] <johnjacobjingerh> My that might be your only way but you're gonna have performance issues
[00:13] <SantaClause> Hello
[00:13] <My> i have enough resource on my machine
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> bekks: bit of a sweeping statement
[00:14] <johnjacobjingerh> My: it's not about your host so much as it is about the capabilities of vmware workstation and other vm products
[00:14] <paulsomebody> bekks: What are you trying to accomplish?
[00:14] <cnf> uhm
[00:14] <bekks> ActionParsnip: Well, the vmware support for "vmware server" was dropped in July 2011.
[00:15] <cnf> esx without vg-x ...
[00:15] <yeats> My: I would personally use KVM if that's an option for you - it's free so if it's not acceptable, you're not out any money
[00:15] <bekks> paulsomebody: Me? Nothing :) I was just commenting on johnjacobjingerh :)
[00:15] <johnjacobjingerh> you MIGHT be ok, but you'll see better performance with a dedicated host
[00:15] <cnf> may? o,O
[00:15] <cnf> ESX needs bare metal
[00:15] <johnjacobjingerh> i still use vmware server
[00:15] <bekks> cnf: Which is not try - you can even virtualize an ESX host :)
[00:15] <bekks> *true
[00:16] <johnjacobjingerh> i am gonna be changing to ESXi tho
[00:16] <cnf> bekks: you can do a lot of things
[00:16] <cnf> bekks: doesn't mean it's a good idea in any shape or form
[00:16] <bekks> cnf: You it doesnt need bare metal, while it is designed to run on bare metal :)
[00:17] <My> yeats: kvm support ESXI ?
[00:17] <yeats> My: no idea, sorry
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> bekks: oh yeah, just checked
[00:17] <lstpswrd> ubuntu 11.04 need to recover passwrd, cant access recovery mody, tried restart several times holding shift and then trying exit, what else ? no disk, can i make one ?
[00:17] <paulsomebody> bkks: Uhhm, okay.
[00:17] <tbruff13> my graphics for kubuntu 12.10 look terrible can someone help me figureout what video driver I am running an help me change it to either the open-source radeon or flgrx
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> tbruff13: what video chip do you use please?
[00:17] <My> johnjacobjingerh : i wanna run esxi 5, i hope vmware server does not supports it
[00:18] <johnjacobjingerh> what?
[00:18] <paulsomebody> Anyway, who was the person experiencing problems with VMware? I have gotten into that sick area recently, so I am sympathetic to your plight and might be able to help.
[00:18] <johnjacobjingerh> vmware server and ESXi are two different things
[00:18] <IdleOne> @bansearch Renski
[00:18] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
[00:18] <johnjacobjingerh> VMware ESXi is a bare bone OS
[00:18] <johnjacobjingerh> and is designed to be run as the host with no other OS
[00:18] <tbruff13> I know it sucks but it worked well enough in 12.04
[00:18] <bekks> ESXi is a level 1 hypervisor.
[00:19] <johnjacobjingerh> yes in technical terms what bekks says
[00:19] <johnjacobjingerh> vmware server requires a host OS to run
[00:19] <johnjacobjingerh> such as ubuntu
[00:19] <AndresSM> *was
[00:19] <AndresSM> it's dead now
[00:19] <johnjacobjingerh> what?
[00:19] <johnjacobjingerh> i didnt say is for vmware server
[00:19] <johnjacobjingerh> i just said it requires
[00:20] <AndresSM> bah had focus on wrong window don't mind me
[00:20] <johnjacobjingerh> i see
[00:20] <My> hmmm
[00:20] <johnjacobjingerh> My: you can run vmware esxi on virtualbox or vmware workstation or whatever virtualizing product you want to use
[00:20] <lstpswrd> password recovery ?
[00:21] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip, can you give me the command to so that the terminal will output what driver is currently in use
[00:21] <cnf> what do you even want to accomplish?
[00:21] <johnjacobjingerh> but you wont see the same performance as you would on a dedicated host
[00:21] <Jisawesome2> When I try to restart apache, it says that it can not reliably determine the server's domain name
[00:21] <paulsomebody> lstpswrd: How did you get there?
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> tbruff13: http://ubuntuxtreme.com/howto/how-to-fix-your-amd-graphics-in-ubuntu-12-10/   use the Makarewicz PPA
[00:21] <johnjacobjingerh> cnf: My wants to test VMware esxi
[00:21] <cnf> johnjacobjingerh: how about he answer?
[00:21] <johnjacobjingerh> what?
[00:21] <paulsomebody> lstpswrd: And, most importantly, is your partition encrypted?
[00:22] <AndresSM> johnjacobjingerh: it's actually not that bad with VT enabled but nested vms are pretty slow...
[00:22] <johnjacobjingerh> AndreSM: exactly which means testing it wont be useful for him
[00:22] <AndresSM> johnjacobjingerh: to do some lab work it's good enough
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> tbruff13: seems to affect 2xxx to 4xxx inclusive
[00:22] <johnjacobjingerh> if he wants a good test he should use dedicated hardware... unless he's just learning how to set it up
[00:22] <paulsomebody> lstpswrd: If not, here is an excellent guide. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-forgotten-ubuntu-password-in-2-minutes-or-less/
[00:23] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip, thanks
[00:23] <Jisawesome2> When I try to restart apache, it says that it can not reliably determine the server's domain name
[00:23] <johnjacobjingerh> but not if he is trying to test it's performance
[00:23] <paulsomebody> lstpswrd: If it is encrypted, you are screwed.
[00:23] <johnjacobjingerh> Jisawesome2, that's normakl
[00:23] <johnjacobjingerh> normal*
[00:23] <Jisawesome2> oh, it is?
[00:23] <paulsomebody> lstpswrd: Unless, of course you have wrote down or stored somewhere the passphrase.
[00:23] <johnjacobjingerh> it's cuz you probably dont have a FQDNS
[00:23] <paulsomebody> lstpswrd: Which you should do.
[00:23] <lstpswrd> not sure if encrypted, helping a friend who forgot psswrd been long time since using system
[00:23] <My> johnjacobjingerh: i am planning to set ahome lab for studying
[00:23] <Jisawesome2> I have no idea what that is
[00:23] <johnjacobjingerh> (fully qualified domain name)... you access the PC by either computer name or IP i assume Jisawesome2
[00:23] <lstpswrd> i will try whatever is offered though, thank you
[00:23] <PryMaL> 1kjgkjggkj
[00:24] <AndresSM> My: it works fine if guest performance is not an issue
[00:24] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip, will this ppa make any other system updates unstable and how will i stop the system from trying to update x in the future
[00:24] <AndresSM> My: a lab is most likely about configuration, etc and in that scenario it's good enough inside VMware workstation
[00:24] <johnjacobjingerh> My: but do you want  the most out of the Guest performance
[00:24] <Jisawesome2> ip, you are correct
[00:24] <Jisawesome2> cDoes it still update?
[00:24] <johnjacobjingerh> yea what AndresSM said
[00:25] <johnjacobjingerh> lstpswrd, what OS?
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> tbruff13: should be fine, its a known issue
[00:25] <johnjacobjingerh> lstpswrd, is he using Ubuntu?
[00:25] <tbruff13> ActionParsnip, bottom line my laptop is a pos and i need a new one
[00:25] <tbruff13> but alas no money
[00:26] <lstpswrd> he is using ubuntu yes
[00:26] <paulsomebody> lstpswrd: If he does not have an idea, then it is probably not encypted.
[00:26] <johnjacobjingerh> lstpswrd, i cant exactly remember how do it from the CD, but you can do it from single-user mode
[00:26] <johnjacobjingerh> paulsomebody, that's not true
[00:26] <Krywk> Is there any program that reproduces what you're speaking on your phone?
[00:26] <Krywk> microphone*
[00:26] <lstpswrd> its not allowing me to access the recovery after the grub screen, im not even seeing grub screen
[00:26] <Jisawesome2> Dragon dictation
[00:26] <My>  johnjacobjingerh: my hardwae is of i5 cpu & 8gb ddr3 ram, it good enough to run 2 esxi host of 2 gb ram and vcenter server of 1gb ram, all the vm runs with 2 vcpu :)
[00:26] <Krywk> I mean, live.
[00:27] <cnf> my: 2 ESX hosts?
[00:27] <johnjacobjingerh> My: but you're missing the fact that you have an overhead
[00:27] <cnf> My: why?
[00:27] <My> it worked well with windows7 on vmware workstation
[00:27] <johnjacobjingerh> well then you got your answer :-P
[00:27] <paulsomebody> johnjacobjingerh: lstpswrd: It is my feeling that people who have no idea are usually too lazy to enter password every time they login.
[00:27] <johnjacobjingerh> what?
[00:27] <johnjacobjingerh> how does that mean his drive is encrypted?
[00:28] <johnjacobjingerh> it most likely isnt encrypted
[00:28] <johnjacobjingerh> unless he encrypted it
[00:28] <paulsomebody> johnjacobjingerh: That WAS the point.
[00:28] <My> cnf: 2 esxi for making a HA & DRS cluster
[00:28] <cnf> o,O
[00:28] <lstpswrd> personally i use a set of passwords that i know well. i have the instructions on how to reset the password but i cant get into the recovery screen
[00:28]  * cnf facepalms
[00:28] <johnjacobjingerh> oh i missed what you were saying paulsomebody
[00:28] <AndresSM> cnf: it's a basic lab not huge
[00:29] <AndresSM> My: you should be fine
[00:29] <johnjacobjingerh> lstpswrd, is ubuntu the ONLY os on that machine?
[00:29] <lstpswrd> i have held the escape key during reboot, i tried the shift key, i tried from restart mode and from total shutdown mode
[00:29] <lstpswrd> yes it it, i asked him that
[00:29] <My> AndresSM: yep let me check it out :)
[00:29] <My> thank you all
[00:29] <johnjacobjingerh> hmmm
[00:29] <johnjacobjingerh> shift should do it
[00:29] <Krywk> Uh, hello?
[00:30] <johnjacobjingerh> re you holding it down from the begining
[00:30] <Krywk> I need a program that reproduces what you're saying, live.
[00:30] <lstpswrd> sorry everyone, paul should i pm in seperate window about this if your willing to help
[00:30] <lstpswrd> i tried shift
[00:30] <johnjacobjingerh> Kryk: Audacity
[00:30] <lstpswrd> holding from beginning, then tapping it
[00:30] <paulsomebody> Yeah, go ahead and PM me.
[00:30] <lstpswrd> tried both shift keys
[00:30] <Krywk> Audacity reproduces on-the-fly?
[00:30] <johnjacobjingerh> hmmmm....
[00:31] <Krywk> Also you can just type in Kry and press Tab.
[00:31] <johnjacobjingerh> Krywk, yes if you enable the monitor
[00:31] <johnjacobjingerh> it will play back as you're speaking
[00:31] <Krywk> Well, that didn't work.
[00:32] <johnjacobjingerh> what do u mean it didnt work?
[00:32] <johnjacobjingerh> are u sure your mic works then?
[00:32] <Krywk> I mean, I want to record system audio AND mic audio.
[00:32] <Krywk> But it just plainly doesn't detect my mic.
[00:32] <Krywk> I have to enable it.
[00:32] <Krywk> But that will disable system audio recording.
[00:32] <Krywk> I want both.
[00:32] <Krywk> :/
[00:32] <FloodBot1> Krywk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:32] <Krywk> Whoops. :/
[00:33] <johnjacobjingerh> krywk can u add a secnd track in audacity and bond it to the microphone in put
[00:33] <johnjacobjingerh> input*
[00:33] <johnjacobjingerh> second*
[00:33] <Krywk> I think, yea
[00:33] <johnjacobjingerh> then perhaps that will work
[00:33] <johnjacobjingerh> it can record two tracks at once
[00:34] <johnjacobjingerh> i've never recorded system sound with audacity
[00:34] <Krywk> It doesn't detect audio
[00:35] <Krywk> Wait
[00:38] <Linkandzelda> is it possible to use 2 docks on 12.10 or to completly disable the unity dock and use a different dock?
[00:39] <_MrSeb_> someone expert in loop device? I need to shrink to min size a file with ext3 file system inside; alnerady mounted file as loop, used resize2fs -M, but I don't know how to shrink container file...
[00:40] <Krywk> It only lets me record a few miliseconds.
[00:40] <Krywk> then it stops.
[00:40] <Krywk> :/
[00:41] <GridCube> !info xterm
[00:41] <GridCube> is optional
[00:41] <Krywk> johnjacobjingerh
[00:42] <johnjacobjingerh> yes?
[00:43] <johnjacobjingerh> i dunno why it doesnt work Krywk
[00:43] <johnjacobjingerh> sounds like an issue with audacity
[00:44] <myersg> how to I set file limites to users on ubuntu server
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> Grimdin: its in a default install though
[00:44] <myersg> I only want the users to access there home dir, and thats it.
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> myersg: look into quotas
[00:45] <myersg> can you help me do that?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> myersg: oh, then just chmod the home folder to a-rwx   and you are golden
[00:45] <myersg> can you give an example?
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> myersg: this means that only the user whom owns the folder can access the data
[00:45] <litt3lboy> Hello sexy boys
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> myersg: they will need read access and sometimes execute access to the rest of the OS so that it can use apps
[00:46] <myersg> so how do I do it?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> myersg: sudo chmod -R o-rwx /home/username
[00:47] <myersg> so what will that do?
[00:48] <myersg> now it can't add files to the users file?
[00:49] <myersg> I think it works now, thank you.
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> myersg: only the owner of the folder (and root, and users whom can use sudo) will have access to the folder in any way, they will not even be able to access the folder to see the files themselves
[00:50] <nabam> heyh, has anybody gotten the error "Secure boot not enabled" when trying to boot from 12.10 on a newer i5 laptop?  Mine specifically is the acer travel mate
[00:50] <myersg> how do I make it to were that user cannot have sudo?
[00:51] <blackshirt> myserg, i think you very paranoid people :d
[00:52] <Zigzag> Hello!
[00:52] <Zigzag> can I please get help?
[00:52] <Zigzag> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330696/ what is wrong witht his
[00:52] <Zigzag> with*
[00:52] <myersg> I know the people that will use it.. trust me, they will mess it up if I don't block them from files. I.E, keep them in there box.
[00:52] <FloodBot1> Zigzag: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:53] <myersg> how can I make it that a user cant use sudo?
[00:54] <fffff> don't add the user to wheel group, maybe?
[00:54] <jo-Br> Hi guys
[00:55] <stef0> hi =)
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> myersg: don't add them to the sudo group, or admin
[00:55] <Linkandzelda> how can I set the transparency of the window decorations in 12.10?
[00:55] <myersg> how do I remove them from it?
[00:55] <nabam> myersg, who's in your wheel group?
[00:55] <myersg> idk
[00:55] <nabam> type groups in terminal
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> myersg: http://askubuntu.com/questions/80115/how-to-remove-a-user-from-a-group
[00:56] <myersg> it says root
[00:56] <nabam> sorry, I was confused, follow ActionParsnip's link
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> myersg: then you need to run:  groups name
[00:56] <bandit-led> i keep loosing my usb kyb and mouse and have to hard reset or ssh in and restart to get them to work again
[00:57] <bandit-led> any ideas?
[00:57] <Zigzag> HM
[00:57] <Zigzag> Hmm well I posted my link guys http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330696/ ideas?

[01:00] <JohnnyBoy> im using ubuntu 12.10 32bit, google earth crashes on me and so does braid the video game
[01:00] <myersg> I need to know do clocks go back tonight?
[01:00] <myersg> So, I can change my time on ubuntu
[01:00] <teff> has anyone experienced a nasty inverted screen installing 12.10 64 bit on a dekstop with an nvidia card?
[01:01] <Robbilie> on a pc in school i have a strange problem when you start talkling bout screens..
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> JohnnyBoy: what video chip do you use?
[01:01] <JohnnyBoy> it must be an ati im not sure
[01:02] <Robbilie> jono if you want you can answer my mail here in irc ;)
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> JohnnyBoy: sudo lshw -C display     will tell you
[01:02] <jono> Robbilie, I will respond next week
[01:02] <jono> I am a bit busy right now
[01:02] <Robbilie> sure ;)
[01:03] <Robbilie> always wondering how i am able to get that fast in contact with that famous/busy people :D
[01:03] <JohnnyBoy> ActionParsnip:  PCI (sysfs)
[01:03] <JohnnyBoy> i know i have an ati raedeon
[01:03] <inflex> Have a system about 150km away, upgraded from 12.04 -> 12.10.  Was running Cinnamon before and doing fine.  Now when it boots to the lightdm login screen it comes up but you cannot interact, no clicks work.  ctrl-alt-Fn works and you can fire up startx with it, but the normal desktop isn't there (likely because of the lack of the cinnamon wm)
[01:03] <inflex> Anyhow, how can I try install/reinstall the lightdm situation so it actually works and lets me login normally?
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> JohnnyBoy: wait, it will say.  :D
[01:06] <Robbilie> Linkandzelda kill it and start it?
[01:06] <bandit-led> killall nautilus
[01:06] <Robbilie> :D
[01:06] <Robbilie> pkill would work too i guess...?
[01:06] <JohnnyBoy> ActionParsnip:  heres the pastebin  http://pastebin.com/2hqDwvFi
[01:06] <Linkandzelda> Robbilie: thanks, did that but what i needed to do it for failed
[01:06] <Linkandzelda> im trying to make my window titles transparent
[01:07] <Robbilie> what are you trying to achieve?

[01:12] <draugon> Hello, I'm installing 12.10, I created partitions and then installed, and everything seems to install fine, until the installer tries to install grub. I get 'Sorry, an error occurred and it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location" so I opened up a terminal and try sudo grub-install /dev/mapper/isw_dcibhdjcae_raid2tb and I get "Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible.
[01:12] <draugon> Aborting." I have two 1tb drives setup with fakeraid and am installing alongside windows. not sure where to go from here.
[01:13] <jrib> draugon: first step is to checksum your cd
[01:13] <toastcfh>  might just quit
[01:14] <JohnnyBoy> thank you ActionParsnip that was fast
[01:14] <draugon> jrib: k, I'll let you know
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> JohnnyBoy: i've seen the issue a lot in here so I know what to search for
[01:14] <jrib> draugon: if you're confident it's just grub failing to install for whatever reason, you need to pass --boot-directory to grub-install (since /boot/grub is for the live cd)
[01:16] <draugon> jrib: md5sum matches the cd, and I verified the cd when I burned it.
[01:17] <JohnnyBoy> ActionParsnip: wont doing all this ruin future upgrade to fglrx and xorg
[01:17] <draugon> jrib: md5sum matches the cd IMAGE I mean
[01:17] <draugon> jrib: ah, ok, so I mount the drive and pass the --boot-directory to the mounted location... ok. Thanks I'll let you know how it goes. :)
[01:19] <jrib> draugon: also see notes here about raid: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop
[01:19] <JohnnyBoy> ActionParsnip: ima reboot and see how things go thanks
[01:21] <cornell> Can anyone at least tell me what the windows popping about "feature" is called?
[01:21] <draugon> jrib: aha, install worked after I mounted and passed the --boot-directory flag to grub-install. gonna see if it boots up. If it does I probably won't be back. Thanks a ton for your help :)
[01:22] <jrib> draugon: hope I don't see you then :)
[01:24] <tomreyn> cornell: what are you referring to (i'm lacking backlog)?
[01:25] <TheLordOfTime> tomreyn:  i don't see any other backlogs relating to this, btw.  just to let you know.
[01:25] <tomreyn> thanks
[01:28] <cornell> tomreyn: I've upgraded from 10 to 12.04 and was sorely unhappy with Unity and am using Gnome Classic.  Windows tend to pop around.  When I shift a window partly onto another workspace and click on something else, the window pops back.  Some applications, the window pops down to the bottom of the screen for no apparent reason.  And if I drag a window to close to the top, it's resized to full height, top to bottom (and it's a bit hard to
[01:29] <cornell> (2 hours 12 minutes ago, I'd mentioned the same stuff)
[01:29] <tomreyn> cornell: this was cut iff behind: (and it's a bit hard t
[01:29] <Linkandzelda> anyone got experieince reading and browsing time machine backups?
[01:30] <cornell> tomreyn: "tomreyn: cornell: this was cut iff behind: (and it's a bit hard t" ?
[01:30] <tomreyn> cornell: i've never tried gnome classic on 12.04, though, so chances are i won't be able to help other than suggesting you file bug reports.
[01:31] <tomreyn> cornell: yes that's what i just said to you
[01:31] <cornell> I'd like to be able to describe it more tersely, perhaps refer to it by name.
[01:31] <Jordan_U> jrib: I need to leave, but if draugon comes back saying that they only got a grub prompt at boot, can you explain to them that they need to pass the path to the /boot/ directory to grub-install's --boot-directory argument (eg if they mounted their root filesystem at /mnt/ it should be --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ not just --boot-directory=/mnt/).
[01:32] <cornell> Yes, tomreyn, and "this was cut iff behind: (and it's a bit hard t" makes no sense to me.
[01:32] <jrib> Jordan_U: will do
[01:32] <Jordan_U> jrib: Thanks.
[01:32] <cornell> Was it truncated, or ... something?
[01:32] <tomreyn> cornell: yes, what you wrote when quoting yourself from earlier today was truncated
[01:33] <Jordan_U> jrib: They may also need to chroot in and run update-grub if the installer didn't create a grub.cfg before it failed.
[01:33] <cornell> Well, I didn't quote myself, just typed again.
[01:33] <peacock> !ot
[01:34] <tomreyn> cornell: okay, but this is still incomplete then:  "And if I drag a window to close to the top, it's resized to full height, top to bottom (and it's a bit hard t"
[01:34] <cornell> And I'm guessing that it's not a bug but someone's idea of a "feature".  Especially the bit about resizing the window.
[01:34] <cornell> Ah...  If I drag a window to close to the top, it's resized to full height, top to bottom (and it's a bit hard to undo).
[01:35] <tomreyn> cornell: i guess your best bet is to run ubuntu-bug on the package you suspect may be buggy, then add a descrition of the problem first, then re-read what you wrote for the long description and summarise it as the bug reports' title
[01:35] <cornell> Very similar to a new feature in Windows 7.  The assumption that if you have the top of a window at the top of the screen, you must also want the bottom at the bottom.
[01:36] <cornell> The package woud be ... gnome-shell ?
[01:37] <cornell> Pardon me while I figure out about ubuntu-bug.
[01:37] <tomreyn> cornell: actually now your description is complete it sounds more like you'Re running into a design choice you don't like. this may not make sense to report as a bug then,
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> cornell: if you want to report a bug with gnome-shell run:  ubuntu-bug gnome-shell
[01:38] <cornell> I'm hoping it's a "design choice" that I can unchoose ;-)
[01:39] <tomreyn> i wouldn't know. you can try with a wishlist bug
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> cornell: disable the grid plugin and the 'aero snap' feature will turn off, is that what you are having issue with?
[01:40] <cornell> mmm... aero snap... sounds like that could be it, ActionParsnip.  How to disable the grid plugin?
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> cornell: run:   ccsm   and disable it
[01:40] <Medjai> I know when ubuntu is installed clean-ubiquity runs and saves a copy of the MBR, where is that saved?
[01:43] <cornell> Having a good time tonight... "The program 'ccsm' is currently not installed."  It also seems to be a part of compiz.  Is compiz part of 12.04, or gnome-shell?  I don't recall installing it.
[01:45] <ja-s> I have a filesystem in my /etc/fstab with the option "users", but a user can no longer mount it, it requires root
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> cornell: it needs installing but you can disable the feature there. I hate it
[01:46] <ja-s> why is that?
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> ja-s: isn't the option: user    not users
[01:47] <tomreyn> yes singular
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> ja-s: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> ja-s: so that's why ;)
[01:48] <tomreyn> but IIRC there is some file system which has 'users' (pl.) as a filesystem specific option
[01:50] <tomreyn> mount(8) The non-superuser mounts. "Only the user  that  mounted  a filesystem  can unmount it again.  If any user should be able to unmount, then use users instead of user in the fstab line."
[01:50] <johnjacobjinger> why is it that when i use Youtube in ubuntu the mouse doesnt disappear but in my windows machine it does
[01:50] <johnjacobjinger> something to do with the flash player?
[01:51] <Linkandzelda> does everyone here use Unity with the launcher on the left? or are you using some other setup?
[01:51] <cornell> In ccsm, I filtered for "grid plugin", no hit.  Filtered for "grid" and got one hit, "Grid" oddly enough.  The alternate text says "Warp and resize windows to fit an imaginary grid".
[01:51] <cornell> That certainly sounds like it, right?
[01:51] <johnjacobjinger> Linkandzelda, i hate unity... i just use classic gnome
[01:52] <cornell> I second that johnjacobjinger
[01:52] <PatrickC|Cleanin> if I'm going to be installing Ubuntu alongside of Windows, does the installer disk still include the option to resize the Windows partitoiin?
[01:52] <PatrickC|Cleanin> partition*
[01:52] <PatrickC|Cleanin> or should i resize it manually within windows
[01:52] <Linkandzelda> johnjacobjinger: is that so, i like the dash thing on Unity quite a bit...
[01:52] <johnjacobjinger> PatrickC|Cleanin, i think it's dynamic
[01:52] <PatrickC|Cleanin> johnjacobjinger: so i should be able to just use the installation media (live DVD) to do it?
[01:52] <johnjacobjinger> Linkandzelda, well it gets in the way of mythtv and i use mythtv
[01:53] <johnjacobjinger> umm no PatrickC|Cleanin ...
[01:53] <johnjacobjinger> it doesnt partition it
[01:53] <johnjacobjinger> it just creates a folder on your windows drive called ubuntu
[01:53] <johnjacobjinger> and somehow it boots from that
[01:53] <PatrickC|Cleanin> Na, i don't want to do that.
[01:53] <PatrickC|Cleanin> That's WUBI :)
[01:53] <johnjacobjinger> it's like a viertual HardDrive
[01:53] <johnjacobjinger> oh
[01:53] <johnjacobjinger> i see
[01:53] <FloodBot1> johnjacobjinger: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:53] <PatrickC|Cleanin> I want to do a true dualboot
[01:54] <johnjacobjinger> yes u can resize if you use the installation DVD (has gparted on the disk)
[01:54] <Jordan_U> PatrickC|Cleanin: Yes, just run the installer and let it resize the Windows partition for you.
[01:54] <johnjacobjinger> u can do it from the live cd
[01:54] <PatrickC|Cleanin> thanks Jordan_U
[01:54] <Jordan_U> PatrickC|Cleanin: You're welcome.
[01:55] <tomreyn> does gparted support resizing ntfs partitions then?
[01:55] <cornell> mmm, in Window Management, there's a "Snapping Windows", tip says "Enables windows edges resistance".  I wonder what "edges resistance" is.
[01:55] <Linkandzelda> johnjacobjinger: is it possible to run 2 docks at the same time?
[01:55] <tomreyn> that's ntfs of all versions of windows
[01:55] <bandit-led> tomreyn, yes
[01:55] <tomreyn> i meant to say file systems, not partitions
[01:55] <bandit-led> tomreyn,  but always backup first
[01:55] <johnjacobjinger> Linkandzelda, beats me like i said I dont use unity
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> ja-s: all ok now?
[01:56] <johnjacobjinger> i only use classic
[01:56] <Linkandzelda> johnjacobjinger: hmm ok then
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> tomreyn: you can resize ntfs in gparted, if you use Win7 I'd do it in WIn7
[01:56] <bandit-led> Linkandzelda, what you trying to do?
[01:57] <johnjacobjinger> i hate windows disk management
[01:57] <tomreyn> ActionParsnip: i don't use windows, i was wondering whether it's possible because someone lelse wanted to know.
[01:57] <johnjacobjinger> annoying
[01:57] <iamzim> Hey, quick question! I want to join an ubuntu desktop client to an Active directory server, should i go the Likewise-open route or is there a better way of going about it (samba + winbind?)
[01:57] <tomreyn> this someone else was PatrickC|Cleanin
[01:57] <Linkandzelda> bandit-led: not sure, i just wanted initially to move the unity dock to the bottom... but im wondering if that isnt possible if i can use 2 docks, like have AWN installed as well, if that makes sense lol
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> tomreyn: gotcha
[01:58] <johnjacobjinger> i use winbind for that iamzim
[01:58] <johnjacobjinger> with samba
[01:58] <bandit-led> Linkandzelda,  you might want to try gnome classic for what you are talking about
[01:58] <johnjacobjinger> i've never heard of likewise
[01:58] <Linkandzelda> bandit-led: is it better than gnome 3.6?
[01:58] <bandit-led> it is gnome 3.6
[01:58] <johnjacobjinger> it just doesnt have unity
[01:58] <johnjacobjinger> unity is annoying as hell imo
[01:58] <bandit-led> its like old gnome
[01:58] <iamzim> johnjacobjinger: ok cool, so does it allow for gui login aswell?
[01:59] <bandit-led> i use only gnome-classic so its what i like
[01:59] <bandit-led> well on live systems i use unity but thats not often
[01:59] <Predictability> hi
[01:59] <iamzim> johnjacobjinger: it seems to be a much simpler way of joining an domain
[01:59] <johnjacobjinger> iamzim: yes....
[01:59] <johnjacobjinger> thats the point
[01:59] <Predictability> a domain*
[02:00] <Linkandzelda> bandit-led: i see, might have to look into trying that out
[02:00] <iamzim> johnjacobjinger: righto, just checking ;)
[02:00] <bandit-led> Linkandzelda, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed
[02:00] <iamzim> Predictability: thanks :p
[02:00] <bandit-led> you can install it and choose what window manager you want on login
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> Linkandzelda: just install gnome-panel log off and log in to the new session
[02:01] <Predictability> your welcome :D
[02:01] <bandit-led> try them all and pick the one you want
[02:01] <Predictability> is this a reddit cat?
[02:01] <Predictability> chat*
[02:01] <Predictability> but a cat is fine
[02:01] <johnjacobjinger> Predictability, ummm no.. this is a ubuntu support channel
[02:01] <rephy222> its kinda ridiculous how many dependencies there are just for a simple clock
[02:01] <Predictability> oh, sorry.  i came here because /r/ubuntu gave a link, i thought this was a reddit chat
[02:01] <Predictability> sorry!
[02:02] <mjc_> nps
[02:02] <johnjacobjinger> Predictability, if you dont have a ubuntu related question or if you arent here to offer ubuntu support then this isnt where you want to be
[02:03] <bandit-led> pred left above your statement johnjacobjinger
[02:03] <johnjacobjinger> oh haha
[02:03] <johnjacobjinger> missed that completely
[02:03] <net_runner007> hey does anyone know how to make VLC play my dvds?
[02:03] <johnjacobjinger> net_runner007, Yes...
[02:03] <Jordan_U> !dvd | net_runner007
[02:04] <net_runner007> thanks yall
[02:04] <johnjacobjinger> click the "media" menu item and click open disc
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> rephy222: what clock are you getting?
[02:04] <tomreyn> or4n: vlc dvd://
[02:05] <rephy222> the basic one that comes with ubuntu
[02:05] <tomreyn> umm sorry or4n, i hit a nasty tab expansion bug in xchat there
[02:05] <rephy222> autoremove removed it for some reason
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> rephy222: well it is an indicator, so you'll need all the indicator goodies
[02:06] <Linkandzelda> bandit-led: I'm worried that something might mess up if i switch lol
[02:06] <rephy222> ic
[02:06] <johnjacobjinger> Linkandzelda, no u wont mess it up
[02:06] <rephy222> i reinstalled it but i dont c it
[02:06] <johnjacobjinger> Linkandzelda, u can always go back by selecting it in the login menu
[02:07] <myersg> I tried to boot into ubuntu, but it took me to this: BusyBox v1.18.5 (Ubuntu 1:1.18.5) built in shell ash Enter 'help for a list of built0in commands
[02:07] <johnjacobjinger> it doesnt remove unity just adds gnome classic to the session menu
[02:07] <Linkandzelda> hmm
[02:07] <bandit-led> been using it since gnome 3 came out with no problems
[02:08] <bandit-led> i am using it right now as a matter of fact
[02:08] <myersg> what do I do?
[02:08] <rephy222> for some reason i cant get it to show up in the menu bar
[02:08] <puff> I'm troubleshooting an ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS box, it's got the whole thin client thing going on, has four extra screens attached.
[02:09] <puff> When it reboots, it doesn't get on the network. If I log into one of the terminals, su to this admin account they setup (has sudo privs) and do "sudo dhclient eth2", it gets right on the network and everything works fine.
[02:09] <puff> Now, I could just write out the instructions for the linux-illiterate folks to do this when I'm not here, but I'd rather fix the problem... any ideas?
[02:10] <tomreyn> myersg: that's usually because your root file system (the one which should get mounted to / ) could not be mounted. this can happen for various reasons, here's what comes to mind: an ubuntu installation failed/is incomplete, the file system is broken, your raid is out of synch.
[02:10] <johnjacobjinger> now so it's not getting IP at startup?
[02:10] <johnjacobjinger> puff: err... i assume it's  not getting an ip on startup?
[02:11] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Yes, that's what appears to be the case.
[02:11] <myersg> This happends every time i try to install ubuntu or anyother linux os on the computer
[02:11] <rephy222> so is the residual config stuff supposed to be installed
[02:12] <myersg> oh wait, This harddrive came out of another computer with ubuntu working fine, I put it on this computer and it does it still...
[02:12] <myersg> I know the installation is fine
[02:12] <johnjacobjinger> puff: does your network config have this for eth2:   auto eth2
[02:12] <johnjacobjinger> iface eth2 inet dhcp
[02:13] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Doesn't have anyhting for eth2.
[02:13] <johnjacobjinger> then that might be the issue
[02:13] <puff> johnjacobjinger: /etc/network/interfaces contains "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback"
[02:13] <tomreyn> myersg: so its failing since you added this drive?
[02:13] <johnjacobjinger> then u have to create one for eth2
[02:13] <puff> Weird, supposedly this was all working and the problem just started this morning.
[02:13] <wallythemoose> Question: I replaced a raid array in windows with a 3tb seagate hard drive, since Ubuntu was not playing well with the software raid. Normally Ubuntu would see an NTFS partition fine, but when I copied the data over to the new 3tb drive in windows, I had to initialize the drive as GPT, instead of MBR. As a result, Ubuntu fails to see a 3tb (more like 2.7tb) NTFS partition, it shows as unallocated. Is there any trick to getting
[02:13] <johnjacobjinger> perhaps it changed?
[02:13] <myersg> ...its not the harddrive, I took it out of another computer and it worked fine before, I was testing to see if it was the hard drive it is not
[02:14] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Is there anywhere else to look, other than /etc/network/interfaces?>
[02:14] <johnjacobjinger> no
[02:14] <myersg> anytime I try to install linux on the computer it does this..no mater what
[02:14] <johnjacobjinger> thats where it would be
[02:14] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Hm, well, nothing /etc/network has a recent modificaiton date. However, dmesg has some interesting bits. Hangon.
[02:14] <Jordan_U> wallythemoose: The problem is that it's using GPT (Ubuntu supports GPT just fine) the problem is that the partition table is invalid.
[02:14] <Jordan_U> wallythemoose: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[02:15] <johnjacobjinger> puff try to put the eth2 config in there just to see if it works
[02:15] <johnjacobjinger> if it doesnt u can always remove it
[02:15] <myersg> could the graphics do this, I install ubuntu server and it works fine on the computer
[02:15] <puff> johnjacobjinger: http://pastebin.com/b6P3EwEP
[02:16] <puff> johnjacobjinger: I don't get what's up with that renaming eth0 to eth2...
[02:16] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Cool, will try adding an eth2 config line.
[02:17] <johnjacobjinger> puff: look in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[02:17] <johnjacobjinger> tell me what the mac address is for eth2
[02:17] <johnjacobjinger> and eth0
[02:17] <Linkandzelda> is there a way I can enable writing to hfs+ drives?
[02:17] <wallythemoose> Jordan_U: pastebin.com/P6P6QQgr
[02:17] <Jordan_U> Linkandzelda: Only by disabling journaling on the filesystem.
[02:17] <johnjacobjinger> is eth0 the MAC for ETH2?
[02:18] <Linkandzelda> Jordan_U: I have a HFS+ drive, how can I do that? without losing data as well? xD
[02:18] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Checking.
[02:18] <stormdead> hi
[02:18] <puff> johnjacobjinger: No, they have different ATTR{address} values.
[02:18] <stormdead> im having some troubles with my laptop, I'm getting permission denied errors when I start up
[02:19] <Jordan_U> wallythemoose: Note there the error "Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!" which means that one of your disks has an entry in the partition table saying that a partition ends past the actual end of the disk.
[02:19] <puff> johnjacobjinger: http://pastebin.com/UFgx6373
[02:20] <wallythemoose> Jordan_U: Is it possible that windows did not create the partition table correctly and I should do it from gparted instead?
[02:20] <Jordan_U> wallythemoose: I've been seeing a lot of those recently, but I have no idea what tool is doing such a silly thing. Do you have any idea how your partition table might have become invalid in this way? Did you use any odd partitioning tools?
[02:20] <barcode> Is there anything I can set in ubuntu which will force my cpu to work slower so it doesn't heat up as much?
[02:20] <wallythemoose> Jordan_U: I used windows 7 built in partition manager
[02:20] <barcode> I want to keep the temprature down.
[02:20] <wallythemoose> It needed GPT for anything over 2tb
[02:21] <stormdead> whenever i try to turn on my laptop, i get these error messages: http://pastebin.com/jAQ4SK93
[02:21] <stormdead> can anyone help?
[02:21] <barcode> can anyone help?
[02:21] <Jordan_U> wallythemoose: Very odd and surprising then. The utility "fixparts" should fix your partition table for you: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/
[02:22] <stormdead> is there any way to fix this without reinstalling?
[02:22] <wallythemoose> Jordan_U: thanks, I will try that.
[02:22] <Jordan_U> wallythemoose: You're welcome.
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> barcode: try a lighter desktop like LXDE :)
[02:23] <stormdead> sorry about that
[02:24] <johnjacobjinger> puff try to add what i said to the network config file
[02:24] <johnjacobjinger> and restart networking
[02:24] <barcode> ActionParsnip: okay.
[02:24] <johnjacobjinger> then see if it works
[02:24] <johnjacobjinger> just out of curiosity
[02:24] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Okay, cool.
[02:26] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Didn't fix it.
[02:27] <johnjacobjinger> puff i dunno then :-(
[02:27] <johnjacobjinger> sorry
[02:27] <johnjacobjinger> both of those files look right
[02:27] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Okay... weird.
[02:28] <johnjacobjinger> puff is this a PXE server?
[02:28] <puff> johnjacobjinger: hm, is there any way I can schedule a cron job to run dhclient?
[02:28] <puff> PXE?
[02:28] <johnjacobjinger> then prob not
[02:28] <johnjacobjinger> i thought u said  it was a thin client
[02:28] <johnjacobjinger> or u were using thin clients
[02:29] <johnjacobjinger> yes there prob is a way to use cronjob to run dhclient
[02:29] <Linkandzelda> ActionParsnip: what should I do after installing gnome-panel?
[02:30] <johnjacobjinger> also puff try to determine if eth2 is indeed the correct mac address and it's not attaching to a different card
[02:30] <puff> Well, I have four ACER lcd screens that apepar to be self-contained (presumably lightweight) PCs.
[02:30] <johnjacobjinger> puff do they have OSes installed on each? or do they boot from a server?
[02:31] <puff> Well, when I reboot the server they all turn off and when it comes back on, they all turn back on and present a login screen.
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> Linkandzelda: log off then select the new session from the ubuntu logo near your usernae
[02:32] <blendedbychris> has java jre been removed from the partner repo?
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> blendedbychris: yes but there is a PPA if you want Oracle Java....
[02:33] <blendedbychris> ActionParsnip: okay no problem. i was just making sure i wasn't using a ppa if it was in partner
[02:33] <puff> johnjacobjinger: I'm not sure I get the question about eth2... dhclient is getting a connection for eth2.
[02:33] <ActionParsnip> blendedbychris: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[02:33] <johnjacobjinger> yea but after it renames
[02:33] <johnjacobjinger> puff i want to make sure the MAC address in that rules file is correct
[02:34] <puff> Hm, hang on a sec.
[02:34] <johnjacobjinger> or if eth0 has the MAC for eth 2 instead of what it should be
[02:34] <johnjacobjinger> i dunno if you can tell tho
[02:34] <johnjacobjinger> without looking at your network switch or something
[02:34] <memetic> I get unknown command linux16 when attempting to run memtestx86 from grub.
[02:34] <memetic> What's that all about?
[02:34] <johnjacobjinger> it doesnt know the command
[02:34] <johnjacobjinger> thats what it's about
[02:35] <cornell> Well, I was in the midst of investigating ccsm window management.  Found a site that suggested, instead of unchecking grid, going into it and setting the auto resize actions to None.  I was in the midst of that when things froze.  Couldn't get any response.  Tried ctl-alt-delete, ctl-prtscn-k and super-.... something.  Anyway nothing appeared to happen, so I stepped away.
[02:35] <memetic> How to fix?
[02:35] <johnjacobjinger> thats about as far as my expertise goes memetic
[02:35] <johnjacobjinger> sorry
[02:35] <memetic> Yeah, well, my question was more a thinly veiled rant about how that happens in the first place so we're both good, john.
[02:36] <johnjacobjinger> brb Puff
[02:36] <memetic> smokey smokey cancer
[02:36] <cornell> When I returned, it was shutting down.  It had stopped to ask if I wanted to save a document.  I did and allowed it to continue... Then I got a blank monitor and a lot of hard drive activity.  Now, a blank monitor and the computer is on, and apparently not doing anything.
[02:36] <cornell> (I'm now on my laptop, to chat)
[02:37] <wallythemoose> memetic: linux16 is only available on x86 systems... you're not by chance trying that on 64 bit are you?
[02:37] <memetic> Yes, I sure am!
[02:37] <Linkandzelda> ActionParsnip: this looks like backtrack 5 now lol
[02:37] <wallythemoose> That would be it. I guess like 16 bit works on 32, but not 64
[02:38] <Linkandzelda> but also similar to how it looked with unity, just without the dock
[02:38] <cornell> Ah, finally got a response, it came up to the logon page
[02:38] <memetic> So, how would I fix that problem on my system, wallythemoose?  If I wanted to just run memtest from grub, instead of from cd or whatever.
[02:39] <wallythemoose> memetic: Do you have 32 bit ubuntu installed instead of 64 by chance?
[02:39] <memetic> I don't.
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> Linkandzelda: its one way to get the old gnome look, there are 3rd party (unsupported) forks of Gnome2 in the form of Mate or Cinammon
[02:40] <Linkandzelda> ActionParsnip: I see, first thing I noticed is my sound doesnt work.. lol
[02:40] <puff> johnjacobjinger: well, the 70-persistent-net-rules has three different MAC address values for eth0, eth1, eth2.
[02:40] <wallythemoose> hmm.. well for some reason grub has the wrong memtest stuff in there... that's as far as I can tell. Maybe there is a way to install memtest for 64 buit or a different version of memtest
[02:40] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Hm, I just noticed that the line I appended to /etc/network/interfaces didn't have a newline at the end. Could that have caused problems?
[02:41] <wallythemoose> memetic: you could try running update-grub but I don't know if that would correct the problem if something else is going on
[02:41] <teff> ack, trying to install 12.04 64 bit alt and its dying at package install because "xserver-xorg-video-all: depends: xserver-xorg-video-ati but it is not isntallable       depends: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau but it is not installable"... anyone have any ideas how to resolve?
[02:42] <OerHeks> memetic, in your case, you should run memtest from cd, since your memtest86 tru grub is not working.
[02:42] <usr13> teff: What type of install are you doing?
[02:43] <puff> johnjacobjinger: Nope, added the newline and rebooted, same problem.
[02:43] <memetic> OerHeks: I don't like having broken options.
[02:43] <wallythemoose> Jordan_U: It turns out that fixparts is only for MBR disks, it says to use parted or GPT fdisk on it.
[02:43] <memetic> Most people are on 64bit systems.
[02:43] <teff> usr13, sorry, desktop install, lvm partition with root and home lv's, nvidia gpu
[02:43] <memetic> Seems like a seriously fucked approach in 12.04 to offer people memtest when it doesn't work.
[02:43] <memetic> I'll try update-grub and then just run from cd.
[02:44] <memetic> Thanks guys.
[02:44] <usr13> teff: Installing from CDROM?  Or...?
[02:44] <OerHeks> memetic, and do a filecheck too
[02:44] <Jordan_U> wallythemoose: Then use "gdisk" (which is by the same developer as fixparts).
[02:45] <teff> usr13, heh, sorry its 2:44 in the morning :p its from usb created with universal usb installer on windows
[02:46] <wallythemoose> Jordan_U: Thanks, I just realized that. Doh'
[02:46] <usr13> teff: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/976509

[02:46] <bkfitz> 12.04 on old acer laptop... just installed... wifi says 'firmware missing' help
[02:46] <bkfitz> 'device not ready'
[02:47] <usr13> bkfitz: What does lspci say about your wifi card?
[02:47] <teff> usr13, thanks, no idea how i didnt clock that myself
[02:47] <usr13> np
[02:48] <bkfitz> usr13: it's actually still installing so I'll try that when it's done, but i had the same problem with 10.04
[02:49] <usr13> bkfitz: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:49] <bandit-led> i am getting continuous lockups where i have to ssh in and restart
[02:50] <bkfitz> usr13: but with no wifi... it won't be able to upgrade... no cat5 to plug into
[02:50] <bkfitz> using my phone 3g
[02:50] <bkfitz> at the in-laws reinstalling their laptop :)
[02:51] <usr13> bkfitz: Oh, well, that's gonna make it kinda tough.
[02:51] <bkfitz> usr13: yeah... i have a usb wifi at the office, but it'll be a hassle
[02:51] <usr13> ... but tell us what the wifi chip is and we'll see what we can do.  Ctrl-Alt-F6
[02:52] <cornell1> Well, the machine's back up, seems to be better.  Though, when I drag a window to the side, it doesn't show up on the next workspace, it just disappears.  But, I can still use the right-click/move to workspace on right.
[02:52] <bkfitz> usr13: can i download the upgrades as debs?
[02:52] <teff> am i going to be able to get away with remounting the usb install media read write from the isntall enviroment?
[02:52] <cornell1> Well, this evening's problem is solved... thanks for your help tomreyn and ActionParsnip
[02:53] <usr13> bkfitz: Why don't you tell us what lspci says about the wifi chip and we'll go from there?  Ctrl-Alt-F6
[02:53] <bkfitz> usr13: 10-4... it just finished rebooting now
[02:53] <usr13> bkfitz: Oh, ok.
[02:54] <Linkandzelda> If I'm going to use Gnome Classic, is there any reason to use 12.10 over 12.04?
[02:54] <usr13> bkfitz: First, see what iwconfig says.
[02:54] <usr13> Linkandzelda: I doubt it.
[02:54] <OerHeks> Linkandzelda, not sure 12.10 still has 'classic'
[02:55] <teff> its ok, apparently yes :)
[02:55] <Linkandzelda> OerHeks: thanks to ActionParsnip It does, and i can confirm as i installed gnome-panel :)

[02:57] <blendedbychris> anyone know how to resolve this "invoke-rc.d: initscript glusterfs-server, action "start" failed."
[02:58] <blendedbychris> is it running the init script?
[02:58] <blendedbychris> The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
[02:58] <blendedbychris> job, but --configure is not supported for Upstart jobs.
[02:58] <blendedbychris> maybe that' what's blowing it up?

[03:00] <bkfitz> usr13: oh you mean the access point.. ok i'll try

[03:01] <usr13> bkfitz:  sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[03:01] <Gaming4JC> Hey all, quick and simple questions. In synaptic you can choose a specific package to upgrade. By commandline I've only done apt-get upgrade (which updates everything). Is there a way to update only ONE package from CLI?
[03:01] <johnjacobjinger> my neighbor last night threatened to call the cops on me for using linux
[03:02] <usr13> bkfitz: Once you have essid set;   sudo dhclient wlan0
[03:02] <Gaming4JC> *question rather ;)
[03:02] <mentoc> I've used update-rc.d to remove links to init scripts but the daemons seem to still start and are present in ps aux
[03:02] <usr13> johnjacobjinger: Were you hacking into his WiFi?
[03:02] <mentoc> is there anything I might be missing?
[03:02]  * Gaming4JC DuckDuckGoes while waiting
[03:03] <johnjacobjinger> usr13 he said the only ppl who use it are hackers so i must be up to no good basically
[03:03] <Gaming4JC> johnjacobjinger: he could be testing his own wifi? o_O
[03:03] <usr13> johnjacobjinger: Linux users are hackers.
[03:03] <bkfitz> usr13: iwlist scan gave me "Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down"
[03:03] <Gaming4JC> usr13: now now, no need for stereotypes... xD
[03:04] <bkfitz> usr13: now dropdown says (firmware missing) device not ready under Wireless Networks
[03:04] <wallythemoose> johnjacobjinger: tell him that hackers do work for the government
[03:04] <usr13> Gaming4JC: It's true.  But there IS a difference between hackers and malicious hackers.
[03:04] <mentoc> Hacking merely means coding
[03:05] <ekaj> Hacking means modifying
[03:05] <usr13> ekaj: correct
[03:05] <cuddylier> Hi
[03:05] <ekaj> Coding is encompassed in that
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: install the firmware cutter package listed on the broadcom wifi guide
[03:05] <cuddylier> Does anyone know of a good ssh FTP client?
[03:05] <Gaming4JC> true, cracking is evil, hacking is not
[03:05] <Gaming4JC> :)
[03:05] <ekaj> Malicous hackers should be called 'cracking'
[03:05] <ekaj> *crackers
[03:05] <usr13> cuddylier: sftp
[03:06] <ekaj> *malicious
[03:06] <usr13> ekaj: Yea, cracker is short for malicious hacker
[03:06] <mentoc> is there an alternate way daemons would start besides rc?
[03:07] <cuddylier> Usr13 what would be the command to install that.
[03:07] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: thx for the suggestion... I just googled it and got this link: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 correct?
[03:07] <cuddylier> Tried googling
[03:07] <ekaj> That's  probably why the mix up came in the first place, because people were too lazy to add malicous to hacker
[03:07] <ekaj> *the media
[03:07] <Gaming4JC> Aha, I love the man-pages. apt-get INSTALL will upgrade OR install new packages, whereas apt-get upgrade updates ALL. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/en/man8/apt-get.8.html
[03:08] <Gaming4JC> therefore I will be using install
[03:08] <Gaming4JC> ty :)
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: yes, there is a firmware cutter package there which will get the files you need from your firmware in your system and make what is needed
[03:08] <wallythemoose> Jordan_U: So I decided to bite the bullet and just repartition the drive and copy back all of the data, but it turns out that Ubuntu doesn't like Window's GPT partition table, and Window's doesn't like Ubuntu's (or should I say GParted) GPT partition table. Drats!
[03:08]  * Gaming4JC enjoys asking and answering his own questions... :P
[03:08] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: I don't have lan connection... so I need to download on this laptop and transfer to new one I'm installing... so i really need a deb
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: check out http://packages.ubuntu.com    is the system a laptop?
[03:08] <cuddylier> Anyone know the command to install the sftp client?
[03:08] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: yes... old acer
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: then move it to the router and use a wired connection, waaay easier
[03:09] <usr13> cuddylier: sudo apt-get install openssh-client
[03:09] <cuddylier> Thanks a lot usr13
[03:09] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: no router :) at the in laws installing 12.04 on their old laptop with tethered galaxy s3 on 3g
[03:10] <tomreyn> cuddylier: but i assume you want a graphical interface instead. you could try filezilla then.
[03:10] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: is this it http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/net/cutter
[03:11] <cuddylier> I want to stick to ssh if possible for performance sake, I used a GUI before and messed a machine up lol to tomreyn but ideally I would use a GUI if it wasn't for performance.
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: no, thne broadcom guide tells you the package n
[03:11] <Ethin> Unable to install ubuntu
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: name
[03:11] <cuddylier> I suppose I could install a GUI just to use FileZilla and uninstall but sounds worse than open sftp
[03:12] <tomreyn> cuddylier: the sftp command in openssl-client is indeed what you want then
[03:12] <tomreyn> .. for command line usage
[03:12] <usr13> cuddylier: FileZilla is a very powerful peice of software, (if you need it).
[03:12] <bandit-led> i have had 5 lockups setting here :C

[03:13] <wallythemoose> Simply put, I cannot share an entire 3tb (2.73Tib) drive as one partition with both Windows and Ubuntu. Neither of them will see each-other's version of the GPT partition table, and MSDOS partition table (MBR) only allows for partitions up to 2tb :(

[03:14] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: thx for you help
[03:14] <tomreyn> cuddylier: openssh is an ssh client, it's probably the one you already have installed if you already have an ssh client installed.
[03:15] <cuddylier> Tomreyn Ah...could u tell me the FTP base commands, sorry for being lazy :(
[03:15] <cuddylier> please
[03:16] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: ok... just installed the deb
[03:16] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: reboot and pray?

[03:26] <bkfitz> iwconfig shows ESSID what i set it to, but when i do a scan, it says interface doesn't support it network is down
[03:26] <wallythemoose> maybe right click on a file, properties -> open with tab, and change the application, phong_
[03:27] <simplew> usr13: /usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2/DLFCN.py
[03:27] <wallythemoose> so save the file first, then go to properties and change the open with type
[03:27] <Linkandzelda> ActionParsnip: after installing gnome-panel I was unable to right click on the panels or make new ones. how can i do that?
[03:28] <simplew> usr13: closed by mistaked
[03:28] <Guest92309> ok, it says to try not saving any memory for persistent file, ill try that.
[03:28] <Guest92309> thank you very much :)
[03:28] <greenhornlinux> Guest92309, I had the exact same issue with pendrive and ubuntu, I never solved it with pendrive. There is a work around however. Here is a link to my site and video on what you can do http://www.greenhornlinux.com/2012/06/03/install-linux-to-a-usb-thumb-drive/ basically if you can use a live cd instead you can use the live cd to set up your flash drive. That method worked for me. Hopefully you can run the live cd
[03:28] <Guest92309> oh, thank you very much, ill defintly watch that
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> Linkandzelda: I believe you have to hold ALT then right clcik
[03:29] <usr13> simplew: sudo find /usr/lib/ -name DLFCN.py -type f
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> Linkandzelda: I'd suggest you install xfce4 instead of trying to use the old gnome-panel shell. Its a lot less twitchy
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> usr13: simplew: sudo updatedb; locate DLFCN.py
[03:31] <usr13> ActionParsnip: I think my way is quicker.  ;0
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> usr13: mines good for future searches :)
[03:31] <usr13> true....
[03:31] <simplew> usr13, ActionParsnip http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330932
[03:32] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: still stuck in the mud... any ideas
[03:32] <usr13> ActionParsnip: simplew seems to have 2 versions of python ....?
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: if you are using wifi, your router will have ethernet ports which you can use
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> usr13: that's fine
[03:33] <usr13> O
[03:33] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: no router here.  Using 3g on phone
[03:33] <bkfitz> tethering
[03:33] <usr13> simplew: Well, I dono what the problem is.  (I was guessing you may have a defenciency of some sort but, maybe not.) I dono...
[03:34] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: I could take the new laptop home tomorrow and plug into my router at home and do updgrade/update... do you think that will fix it?
[03:34] <marcus> any1 know how to fix .NET on 64bit ubuntu?
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: so what will you be connecting to once the broadcom gets setup, or is it incease it needs to be used later?
[03:34] <simplew> so how can i nw report a bug in ubuntu??
[03:35] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: in-laws are going to get cable internet next week...
[03:35] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: there is also a how to in order to use the install CD as a repo to set it up with no web access
[03:35] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: luggites :)
[03:35] <usr13> bkfitz: Did you try  sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid <my-phone's-essid>;sudo dhclient wlan0  ?
[03:35] <bkfitz> yes and it took it
[03:35] <bkfitz> and when i do iwconfig it shows my essid
[03:35] <bkfitz> but still not connecting
[03:35] <usr13> bkfitz: sudo dhclient wlan0   ?
[03:36] <arielCo> Hello everyone.
[03:36] <usr13> Hello
[03:36] <bkfitz> "no such file or directory"
[03:36] <bkfitz> RTNETLINK answers: no such...
[03:36] <usr13> bkfitz: What?
[03:36] <arielCo> Any of you had trouble with the netboot/minimal cd?
[03:36] <bkfitz> usr13: thats what I get when I run sudo dhclient wlan0
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: is there a switch to enable / disable the wifi
[03:37] <dfs4> wats up linuxers
[03:37] <usr13> bkfitz: sudo dhclient wlan0   #Where wlan0 is actually the name of your wifi
[03:37] <MattJCliffe> sup dfs4
[03:37] <usr13> bkfitz: Yea, (what ActionParsnip says...).
[03:37] <pepee> simplew, are you using 12.10?
[03:37] <DayonaAdrie> "My left side dock (or as Ubuntu calls it launcher) has been missing in action since I installed Ubuntu. Is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling Ubuntu?" Just making sure someone saw/sees this. I'm poking around on forums and stuff in the meantime.
[03:37] <bkfitz> wlan0 is the name i believe
[03:37] <dfs4> nothin much just hanging out
[03:37] <bkfitz> iwconfig wlan0 says so
[03:37] <ActionParsnip> DayonaAdrie: what video chip do you use?
[03:37] <dfs4> brb
[03:37] <usr13> bkfitz: What's the essid of your phone?
[03:38] <DayonaAdrie> Uh….I have to look it up real quick ActionParsnip - give me just a moment.
[03:38] <bkfitz> FitzTether... if i run sudo dhclient FitzTether I get "Cannot find device "FitzTether"
[03:38] <usr13> bkfitz: What does lspci say about your  wifi device?
[03:38] <arielCo> Any of you had trouble with the netboot/minimal cd? I burned the amd64 iso and the keyboard stops responding on language selection. :(
[03:39] <usr13> bkfitz: FitzTether is the essid, not the wifi chip.  Try:  sudo dhclient wlan0
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: try disabling then enabling the wifi. Or unload and reload the driver module
[03:40] <bkfitz> usr13: lspci says Broadcom Corporation BCM431 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
[03:40] <usr13> bkfitz: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "FitzTether";dhclient wlan0
[03:40] <bkfitz> usr13: yes... i did sudo dhclient wlan0
[03:40] <bkfitz> thats when i get the weird RTNETLINK error
[03:40] <blackhole> guys help me, how to install download google earth?
[03:40] <DayonaAdrie> ActionParsnip: My video chip is …ATI RAedon HD 3200
[03:40] <pepee> bkfitz, in a console, rfkill list
[03:40] <ActionParsnip> DayonaAdrie: and using 12.10?
[03:41] <DayonaAdrie> ActionParsnip: Yes.
[03:41] <bkfitz> pepee: what will that do
[03:41] <bkfitz> Soft Blocked no Hard blocked no
[03:41] <bkfitz> 0: phy0: Wireless LAN
[03:41] <ActionParsnip> DayonaAdrie: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy.html
[03:41] <pepee> bkfitz, it shows if the devices are locked
[03:41] <simplew> pepee: yes
[03:42] <DayonaAdrie> Thank you so very much ActionParsnip - I'm gonna try this as soon as the Alabama LSU game ends. I'm a little wrapped up in the last minute. lol.
[03:42] <bkfitz> pepee: good thought but it doesn't look locked
[03:42] <DayonaAdrie> Well a little at the same time. Let's just hope I don't get too into the game. lol.
[03:42] <simplew> pepee: sorry, i have installed quantal, but then i upgraded to raring
[03:43] <pepee> simplew, #ubuntu+1
[03:43] <ar9> anyone of a way to delete a bunch of pictures that all end in the same way/name? i have a bunch of pictures that all end in *small.jpg
[03:44] <arielCo> Hello everyone. I'm having trouble with the minimal;netboot cd, amd64. It hangs, or the keyboard stops responding, right at the first screen. Any of you had the same happen?
[03:44] <codemaniac> ar9: use "rm *small.jpg"
[03:44] <ActionParsnip> arielCo: what video chip do you use?
[03:44] <simplew> pepee: i was there
[03:44] <ar9> codemaniac: ty
[03:44] <arielCo> Nvidia, gtx 670
[03:45] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: Pepee: Usr13: Thanks for all your help guys... prob just going to drag this thing home and get it on eth0 to update/upgrade, then mess with it
[03:45] <arielCo> (Thouh it's in text mode)
[03:45] <pepee> simplew, that's the channel for raring, just wait there until someone helps you
[03:45] <codemaniac> ar9: but before doing the rm command do a "ls -l *small.jpg" to make sure these are the set of files you want to remove
[03:45] <pepee> bkfitz, tried pinging remote servers? do you have an IP?
[03:45] <pepee> *internal IP
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> arielCo: try the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[03:46] <bkfitz> pepee: didn't check, but don't think so because little wifi icon shows empty
[03:46] <simplew> pepee: isnt there another way to report bugs?
[03:46] <pepee> simplew, for raring, no
[03:46] <arielCo> ActionParsnip: Ah, that might work. Even if it's text mode?
[03:46] <wallythemoose> Jordan_U: I tried to use Gdisk from both windows 7 and ubuntu, and still each refuses to see the other's partition table that they made... I may have to settle for MBR and a 2tb partition
[03:46] <ar9> codemaniac: is there a way to keep it to 5 letters before the *small.jpg, the're all named XXXXXs.jpg
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> arielCo: yes, it can be needed
[03:47] <pepee> simplew, in fact, bug reports may be invalid, since it's in development
[03:47] <arielCo> Trying ...
[03:47] <usr13> bkfitz: You probably need:  bcmwl-kernel-source - Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source
[03:47] <codemaniac> ar9: i dont get your requirement, can you clarify please?
[03:47] <bkfitz> usr13: ok i'll try it when i get home... thx again
[03:47] <simplew> pepee: its a bug report in an app that has nothing to do if is in raring
[03:48] <usr13> bkfitz: NP
[03:48] <pepee> simplew, yes, it has to do, whatever happens in raring has to be reported in that channel
[03:48] <ar9> codemaniac: i have pictures all named 12345s.jpg and 12345h.jpg, i want to batch delete all the 12345s.jpg ones
[03:48] <usr13> bkfitz: Actually, I'd first try:  sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade    #first
[03:48] <codemaniac> ar9: ahh, do a rm 12345*
[03:48] <pepee> simplew, that's why it's not recommended to use development versions in early stages
[03:49] <bkfitz> usr13: yeah i will
[03:49] <codemaniac> ar9: rm 12345*jpg wowld be better
[03:49] <usr13> bkfitz: What did you install?
[03:49] <codemaniac> ar9: wait
[03:50] <ar9> codemaniac: what if theyre random? like *****s.jpg
[03:50] <Gnosis-> Hello. It doesn't seem like this HP printer is recognized (I keep trying to print a test page but nothing happens). Here is my syslog: http://bpaste.net/show/55707/
[03:50] <pepee> simplew, you shouldn't be using raring if you don't want bugs in the first place, and this channel is for 12.10 or less. #ubuntu+1 is for raring
[03:50] <arielCo> ActionParsnip.
[03:50] <simplew> i have many packages in /var/cache/apt/ and i want to do a clean isntall, so i wan to tcreate a local debian repo to be able to use these packages instead download them again, can anyone help me create a local repo to be used by apt?
[03:51] <usr13> Gnosis-: firefox localhost:631
[03:51] <codemaniac> now i get you i guess, try ls -l *s.jpg, then rm
[03:51] <codemaniac> ar9: is itat all you want
[03:51] <arielCo> ActionParsnip: where do I put the params in grub2? I got "linux /linux priority=low --".
[03:51] <Gnosis-> usr13: I see the CUPS page
[03:51] <arielCo> (I'm used to legacy)
[03:51] <ar9> codemaniac: i think do, thanks man I'll try it out
[03:51] <Linkandzelda> what IM clints does everyone use?
[03:52] <Linkandzelda> i'm tempted to just use Bitlbee lol
[03:52] <pepee> simplew, you can simply copy those files, and then copying them back to the same folder
[03:52] <codemaniac> ar9: bo problem :)
[03:52] <codemaniac> no*
[03:52] <usr13> Gnosis-: Yes, now configure your printer, (and set as default if you see fit). Kill any jobs.  Print test page.  Etc....
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | arielCo
[03:52] <simplew> pepee: and oonce the clean isntall is done i copy the packages again to /var/cache/apt and synaptic will use them?
[03:53] <DayonaAdrie> Okay ActionParsnip there is still one problem that rings out for me in running this commands….I need to be able to actually open the terminal. How do you suggest I do this?
[03:53]  * DayonaAdrie is not a complete Linux junkie but does like it.
[03:53] <pepee> simplew, apt-get does that. not sure about synaptic, but it should
[03:54] <simplew> pepee: meanwhile isnt possible to report in launchpad website?
[03:54] <Gnosis-> usr13: I got it working, thanks!
[03:54] <usr13> DayonaAdrie: Ctrl-Alt-t  ?
[03:54] <usr13> Gnosis-: NP
[03:55] <tapout> are there stats on kde vs gnome with ubuntu installs/downloads?
[03:55] <tapout> i suspect kde is growing lately?
[03:55] <DayonaAdrie> Okay that worked. Thanks usr13 - I'm not a real keyboard ninja with any Linux.
[03:55] <usr13> DayonaAdrie: NP
[03:55] <pepee> simplew, file a report, but make sure to tell them you are using raring
[03:55] <Gnosis-> usr13: I think the regular printer setup GUI for Ubuntu should just include a link to open up http://localhost:631/... clearly the interface is not as good :)
[03:55] <pepee> simplew, or just wait for someone to reply in #ubuntu+1
[03:56] <usr13> Gnosis-: Agreed
[03:56] <simplew> pepee: im in https://bugs.launchpad.net/muon  but i see no way to report a bug
[03:56] <simplew> pepee: this bug happens in 12.10
[03:57] <pepee> simplew, try #kubuntu then
[03:57] <pepee> simplew, again, you are using raring...
[03:58] <Zer0Glitch> What's a good resource for learning linux for ground-up approach? E.G. i want to get into compiling and building packages for a lot of the apps that I see out there, but many of which have to be compiled, packed, or in some cases repacked.
[03:59] <trism> simplew: this would be the page for ubuntu bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/muon (the other would be for upstream bugs if muon used launchpad for that, which they don't)
[04:00] <usr13> Zer0Glitch: As a Ubuntu user, you'll find little need to compile a package, most all of them come to us packaged and ready to go.
[04:01] <pepee> Zer0Glitch, linux from scratch I suppose. ask in ##linux too
[04:01] <arielCo> ActionParsnip: okay, I added "nomodeset nouveau.blacklist=yes" after "-- quiet". Same result.
[04:02] <ActionParsnip> arielCo: are you using a switchable video hardware
[04:02] <arielCo> Yup, that's what I was writing: "Maybe booting with the integrated gpu."
[04:02] <DayonaAdrie> Well this is going to take me some time to do.  Meanwhile the only thing I have to watch i the post game coverage on a game that we done won and I don't care to watch a post game of. All I know is the Alabama Crimson Tide won.
[04:03] <DayonaAdrie> And that's all I care about. xD
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> arielCo: that stuff causes all kinds of hell in linux
[04:03] <Zer0Glitch> usr13 > Try finding a solid pre-packed NEStopia copy that runs well on Ubuntu and employs sound properly across multiple hardware brands and run that by me again.
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> arielCo: this may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> arielCo: I've never seen a success story with that mess.
[04:04] <usr13> Zer0Glitch: As far as just learning Linux from "ground up";  To start with, there are lots of resources online.  You might find http://www.linux.org/ interesting, (see Free Online Linux Courses).
[04:05] <bandit-led> Zer0Glitch, look into funtoo or gentoo as well
[04:05] <pepee> install gentoo
[04:05] <pepee> yeah
[04:05] <Zer0Glitch> A lot of the repacks and ports I want to do are for indie games
[04:05] <Zer0Glitch> Not a lot out there for games which are well-packed to run with Ubuntu
[04:06] <brady> im trying to use luckybackup to backup my /etc , but it appears to not be able to do it , which i assume is some sort of permissions thing.  I tried running lucky backup via the terminal with sudo, but it still appears to not allow it
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> Zer0Glitch: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/12.04/?q=nes   you can use once you install this deb: http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb
[04:08] <bandit-led> Zer0Glitch,   you can always build them your self although i haven't found any games that work on linux that dont usually have a debian or ubuntu package
[04:08] <arielCo> No luck either. I already installed OpenSUSE by switching to the integrated gpu, but the netboot CD freezes.
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> Zer0Glitch: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc    I may have a PPA for nestopia
[04:09] <arielCo> actionParsnip: above. Also, did I mention thet it's an amd64 ISO?
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> arielCo: shouldn't make a difference on the arch
[04:10] <arielCo> Thought so. If I even had a log... FYI, it works fine with qemu-kvm from the existing installation.
[04:11] <arielCo> Ahh... I'll try the "expert command line install" and see what shows up
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> arielCo: if you intend to use Linux it is best avoided
[04:12] <rgenito> is there a way to have "dd" show you the % complete for transferring the blocks?
[04:12] <rgenito> (if of course, the input is of a known size)
[04:13] <rgenito> oooo i found a google article that may have given me information to do that... i'll post it here if it turns out to help :)
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> rgenito: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/5293/dd-with-progress-bar
[04:13] <arielCo> rgenito: if you "pkill -USR2 dd" or maybe USR1, it prints progress info.
[04:13] <arielCo> Lol, ninja'd
[04:13] <shell> Does anyone know some popular irc channels, for General technology or chat?
[04:14] <edbian> shell, There is #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> shell: #ubuntu-offtopic can be both :)
[04:14] <rgenito> oh sweet, this seems to help me learn about other things too.. thanks ActionParsnip and arielCo :D
[04:14] <rgenito> wait, what's the topic here anyways? ;)
[04:15] <rgenito> whattttt?
[04:15] <rgenito> dude, "watch" ... awesome! :D
[04:15] <shell> Are there any others beside offtopic that you like?
[04:15] <Zer0Glitch> Special thanks to ActionParsnip and Burtonium
[04:15] <rgenito> the idea of a command like that kicks ASS
[04:15] <Tricarico> ola
[04:15] <arielCo> ActionParsnip: no luck with any option. I guess I'll burn a full dvd.
[04:15] <usr13> Zer0Glitch: sudo apt-get install build-essential #Go to http://www.linux.org/article/view/installing-programs-and-upgrading-software-os-versions and scroll to bottom.  #FYI
[04:16] <burtonium> np Zer0Glitch
[04:16] <Noskcaj> i just installed the mediabuntu extras but update manager isn't letting me update some stuff it says Requires installation of untrusted packages and stops
[04:16] <arielCo> I was trying to spare me a half-gb of updates
[04:16] <rgenito> wow, i didn't realize "kill" could be so interesting :)
[04:16] <usr13> Zer0Glitch: My last comment to you is probably something you dont really need, but just FYI.
[04:17] <Zer0Glitch> Why do you mention usr13?
[04:17] <Zer0Glitch> Just so I know?
[04:17] <usr13> Zer0Glitch: Yes
[04:18] <wilee-nilee> Noskcaj, Did you add the key and is it shown in a try in the terminal?
[04:19] <Noskcaj> wilee-nilee: what do you mean and i will try
[04:19] <wilee-nilee> Noskcaj, Are you running the installs from a terminal?
[04:19] <Zer0Glitch> usr13 > I'm running 12.04 LTS will it matter?
[04:19] <arielCo> rgenito: 'kill' is all about sending signals to processes. Most signal can be "caught" and be used for signalling.
[04:20] <usr13> Zer0Glitch: No.  (And 12.04 LTS is a good place to be IMO).
[04:21] <Noskcaj> wilee-nilee: i am now, and it says no public  key
[04:21] <skunk> Ubuntu software center is slow and buggy.. is this a common problem??
[04:21] <brady> how can i back up /etc ?
[04:21] <wilee-nilee> Noskcaj, With medibuntu stuff?
[04:21] <edbian> brady, cp /etc /some/backup/folder
[04:21] <edbian> brady, What's confusing you?
[04:22] <skunk> yes? no?
[04:22] <edbian> skunk, IDK, I never use it :P
[04:22] <brady> i was trying to use luckybackup
[04:22] <edbian> brady, I guess the -r flag might be useful
[04:22] <edbian> brady, I'm not familiar with that program
[04:22] <skunk> good grief.. this darn thing has been buggy and slow for two years since it's incemption
[04:22] <brady> im not familiar with the terminal
[04:22] <arielCo> !efi
[04:23] <edbian> fair enough :P
[04:23] <edbian> skunk, just use command line tools
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> Noskcaj: if you can give the code in:  sudo apt-get update     I can advise
[04:23] <Noskcaj> <wilee-nilee: yeah
[04:23] <skunk> look man.. not to be rude.. but if ubuntu is supposed to be for "human beings" they should compete head on with the mac app store
[04:23] <wilee-nilee> Noskcaj, I'm not sure how you added the repo, but this set of commands should of added it and the keys.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[04:24] <Noskcaj> thanks
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> Noskcaj: run:   sudo apt-get update    what is teh GPG key error you get?
[04:24] <wilee-nilee> Noskcaj, You might try just this portion, sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
[04:24] <skunk> edbian, look man.. not to be rude.. but if ubuntu is supposed to be for "human beings" they should compete head on with the mac app store
[04:24] <Noskcaj> GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org quantal InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> Noskcaj: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2EBC26B60C5A2783
[04:24] <skunk> synaptic was really good though
[04:25] <edbian> skunk, they are trying to compete.  No-one said they're succeeding!  (maybe they do) but anyway.  Do you have a tech support question?  if not you can talk about the stupid software center in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:25] <wilee-nilee> Noskcaj, It loks like ActionParsnip has the key for you.
[04:25] <Noskcaj> ok
[04:25] <jsKeal> Sup.
[04:26] <jsKeal> Hello.
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> wilee-nilee: its the same for all key errors. I have it in a script called 'getkey' :)
[04:26] <Noskcaj> jsKeal: dont waste time
[04:26] <jsKeal> Why?
[04:26] <jsKeal> lol.
[04:26] <jsKeal> I have all the time I need :&
[04:27] <wilee-nilee> ActionParsnip, Hehe, how convenient. ;)
[04:27] <arielCo> !justask | jsKeal
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> wilee-nilee: I'm lazy
[04:31] <Ali_nz^1> I need to setup a directory and have some specific permissions. I need a user called MxCamera which can read and write to this directory (MxData) via NFS. I need another user called MxUser which can Read only to this directory via SMB - as a start - where is the best place to create this folder? under /home/MxData ?
[04:33] <edbian> Ali_nz^1, I believe you need to have that use MxCamera on the file hosting machine and the machine the user logs into in order for it to work correctly.
[04:33] <edbian> Ali_nz^1, There is a system which allows you to add use account to one file on one machine and have all the other machines read that file to become of user accounts.
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> Ali_nz^1: if you use smbpasswd you can make samba users, then set which samba users have what access
[04:34] <edbian> Ali_nz^1, The best place for the folder is probably /mnt/  or I guess just in /  ?  Not really sure
[04:35] <Ali_nz^1> Ok
[04:35] <Ali_nz^1> then /mnt/MxData it is
[04:36] <Ali_nz^1> And just trying to get my head around NFS permissions
[04:36] <Ali_nz^1> If I understand correct NFS allows or disallows access based on IP address?
[04:43] <Ali_nz^1> how do I check what my username is?
[04:43] <blackshirt> whoami
[04:44] <Ali_nz^1> ta
[04:48] <codemaniac> Ali_nz^1: what says 'id'?
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> Ali_nz^1: works in windows too :)
[04:52] <Ali_nz^1> the manual suggests chown -R 65534:0 /mnt/MxData - does that give everyone access to the directory?
[04:53] <Ali_nz^1> ActionParsnip: ur right - it does work in windows lol
[04:53] <johnjacobjinger> gah freaking comcast
[04:54] <Ali_nz^1> the user I created (MxCamera) is 1000:1000 who why not chown -R 1000:1000
[04:55] <Random833> Ali_nz^1: no you need to chmod
[04:56] <Ali_nz^1> Random833: nah - the next line says chmod 755 /mnt/mxData
[05:01] <Zer0Glitch> How does one switch between desktop builds in Ubuntu?
[05:01] <Zer0Glitch> I have 12.04 LTS and just installed xubuntu-desktop
[05:01] <Ali_nz^1> whats the best free ddns service these days with ubuntu support?
[05:01] <gnnr> i use afraid.org
[05:02] <wols_> Zer0Glitch: typically you switch at login between the installed ones
[05:02] <gnnr> Zer0: usually on boot you are presented a selection in Grub boot
[05:02] <Ali_nz^1> gnnr: Yeah I seen that one - what makes it good? how to make it work with ubuntu
[05:03] <Zer0Glitch> Is there a way to set default?
[05:03] <ActionParsnip> Zer0Glitch: the last session is remembered for your user
[05:03] <wols_> Zer0Glitch: depends on your displaymanager
[05:03] <wols_> Ali_nz^1: inadyn for example. apt-cache search afraid.org
[05:03] <wols_> another would be no-ip.org
[05:04] <ActionParsnip> no-ip is sweeeeet
[05:04] <gnnr> Ali_nz^1: it's free, tons of fun domains to choose from. I'd recommend setting it up on your router and then forwarding the ports you need to your computer
[05:04] <brady> the ubuntu installer, its possible to install to a drive that has some folders in it without overwriting it?
[05:05] <gnnr> brady, during the install you are prompted to create a new partition, so usually you either want to erase the contents and install on an existing partition or create a new partition
[05:07] <brady> does this mean i can reduce the size of the partition the files are on , without deleting them, and therefore have space to create a new partition for the system?
[05:08] <gnnr> brady, yes you will have to select manual partition and see if you can find a solution that works for you
[05:09] <Ali_nz^1> it looks like you can create a subdomain
[05:09] <wols_> brady: but make sure you have backups of the data which is on the disk you want to resize. make very sure
[05:10] <wols_> Ali_nz^1: you can always only create a subdomain
[05:11] <Ali_nz^1> wols: whats the diff between the public and private ones?
[05:11] <wols_> context?
[05:12] <Ali_nz^1> wols_: the domains on freedns
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> brad[]: you can mark the partition to be used if you use custom partitining and the data will stand
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> brad[]: obviously filenames identical in the install will be overwritten by the installer
[05:14] <wols_> Ali_nz^1: all I can see are private IPs, which means non-routable IPs
[05:16] <_cb> MB on my HP just fried so went out & bought a Dell GX620 for 15 bucks, put in the drive and Ubuntu booted up. I am thrilled but surprised. Wouldnt Ubuntu have hp specific drivers installed?
[05:17] <gnnr> ActionParsnip, he parted
[05:18] <gnnr> _cb, is there a specific device that isn't working?
[05:18] <_cb> I have not done extensive testing. I am shoked that it even worked
[05:19] <_cb> gnnr can one take an ubuntu drive from any one computer, put it into another computer and it will work?
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> _cb: no bad thing, sounds awesome
[05:20] <_cb> ActionParsnip yeah.I thought I was going to have to boot onto cd, copy my data, reformat...
[05:20] <gnnr> _cb, drivers in ubuntu are packaged in to the install, so just install ubuntu on another machine, and most hardware is supported. Turns out hp, dell, etc use almost identical components
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> _cb: i suggest you get a backup solution
[05:21] <_cb> gnnr so I got lucky. Had it been a different model of computer it may have not worked.
[05:23] <gnnr> _cb  It's possible a number of motherboards would have worked, but like ActionParsnip back up so you don't have to test your luck
[05:24] <ryanliue> hi guys
[05:24] <juniour> hi guys how to install latest firefox
[05:25] <dsprc> !backups
[05:25] <fego> juniour: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> juniour: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[05:26] <juniour> fego you have use mozilla in windows
[05:27] <fego> juniour: yes, but not a bin of FF though
[05:27] <juniour> precise

[05:28] <LordOfTime> juniour:  there's chromium-browser if you want to use that

[05:29] <ActionParsnip> !info firefox precise
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> ahhhh
[05:29] <gnnr> juniour, may want to go directly to mozzila's website, and see if there is a direct download, or more frequent builds.
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> juniour: the PPAs will help
[05:30] <xangua> ActionParsnip: no, they will not
[05:30] <gnnr> yea make sure you add the PPA from mozilla
[05:30] <xangua> juniour: you are already using the latest stable firefox
[05:30] <juniour> ActionParsnip its less option here i dont get the histoty and all options
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> xangua: why not?
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> xangua: s/he has 15 wheras Quantal has 16
[05:31] <juniour> ActionParsnip how to enable al the option
[05:31] <dsprc> juniour: what do you mean you dont get the history and options?
[05:32] <juniour> yeppp
[05:32] <blazinbass> does netflix work in wine anyone?
[05:32] <xangua> gnnr: no need for that ppa in ages, it doesn't even exist anymore
[05:32] <xangua> ActionParsnip: i am using precice and have fx 16
[05:32] <simplew> why gstreamer-faac doesnt exist in ubuntu?
[05:32] <dsprc> blazinbass: i dont think so. maybe check winedb or #wine
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> xangua: seems ubottu is lying then :)
[05:33] <juniour> file,tool,edit this all option i am not getting
[05:33] <gnnr> yea i have 16 looks same as windows for me
[05:33] <LordOfTime> blazinbass:  not really.
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> xangua: yes, she is. packages.ubuntu says 16 too
[05:33] <juniour> i want to clear my history how willi delete
[05:33] <dsprc> juniour: move your mouse up to the title bar
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> juniour: press CTRL+Shift+DEL
[05:33]  * dsprc does unity still do that??
[05:34] <juniour> ActionParsnip just i cant get options like i get in windows
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> juniour: like what?
[05:34] <dsprc> the unified menu thing that they have at the top left i think is what he is talking about
[05:34] <juniour> you are using shortcut i want the icon
[05:34] <juniour> all
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> juniour: did you move your mouse to the topmost panel? The file, Edit etc go in there
[05:35] <juniour> menu in firefox
[05:35] <juniour> yaaa
[05:35] <juniour> its not there
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> juniour: do you have firefox-globalmenu installed?
[05:36] <Ali_nz^1> ok - I dont get it. I am looking at inadyn for use with freedns, but the command line examples for freedns dont show a prompt for username or password?
[05:37] <ngt> hi, i am using samsung ml1660 printer, ubuntu detect my printer but i am unable to print anything. I have installed samsung unified driver but still no result.
[05:38] <simplew> ActionParsnip: why gstreamer-faac doesnt exist in ubuntu?
[05:38] <Jordan_U> wallythemoose: One possible theory is that what you think is a single drive (and was advertised as a single drive) is really a FakeRAID of some type. Do you see more disks listed in Ubuntu that in Windows?
[05:39] <ssasori> guys... at wits end, would love some advice.  i hate unity.  hate is a strong word i know, but its true.  the fact that you cant see open windows and only have that arrow thing, i hate it.  and have to go to 3d mode to see other windows... i hate extra steps.  thats why i dont like unity.  i tried out kubuntu after 5 years.  the customization is AWESOME.  leagues above ubuntu.  but, buggy. things work than they dont work... etc.  so
[05:39] <ssasori> can anyone point me to a site that will tell me how to get ubuntu 12.10 running. with a taskbar, so i can see all open windows.  essentially is what i need.  would love the help.  thanks :)
[05:39] <ActionParsnip> ssasori: try xfce desktop :)
[05:39] <gnnr> inadyn --dyndns_service<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-a my.registrated.name,hash_from_freedns
[05:40] <ssasori> ActionParsnip: thanks dude, will go check it out right now
[05:40] <gnnr> Ali_nz^1, you'll need to go into the options on the site, and generate a hash for your subdomain
[05:40] <ActionParsnip> simplew: seems to be in gst-plugins-bad0.10
[05:41] <Jordan_U> wallythemoose: For example if the the RAID array has a stripe size of one MiB, then the first MiB of one of the drives will be the same as the first MiB of the array, and so when looking at that drive alone it will appear to have a GPT label with invalid partition definitions (because it's really describing the array rather than that individual drive).
[05:41] <Ali_nz^1> gnnr:ahhh i see
[05:42] <Ali_nz^1> gnnr: and setting it as a daemon? or startup service?
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> simplew: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-bad0.10/<IP_ADDRESS>-2ubuntu1
[05:42] <Zer0Glitch>  is there a terminal command to force my system to restart in xubuntu-desktop? It keeps reloading into Ubuntu LTS without giving me choice to choose desktop
[05:43] <gnnr> Ali_nz^1, I would probably add it as a daemon
[05:43] <simplew> ActionParsnip: such package does not exist gst-plugins-bad0.10
[05:43] <gnnr> man inadyn and read through all of the options
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> !info gst-plugins-bad0.10
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> !find plugins-bad
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> simplew: install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
[05:45] <simplew> ActionParsnip: iits installed but arista continues complaining about it
[05:46] <gnnr> Ali_nz^1, like I said earlier, I prefer to set it up on my router, if you use one.
[05:46] <simplew> ActionParsnip: in Arista i cant do a convertion using preset "Computer - H.264", then appears a dialog to search
[05:46] <ssasori> ActionParsnip: thanks for the advice, but a negative on XFCE
[05:47] <bikcmp> how do i delete a file with an - in front of it?
[05:47] <bikcmp> -blah.flv.
[05:47] <bikcmp> rm is taking it as a param.
[05:47] <bikcmp> i've tried \ and quotes.
[05:47] <Jordan_U> bikcmp: rm ./-blah.flv
[05:47] <gnnr> ssasori, have you tried lxde?
[05:47] <ssasori> however, i may have found a colution.  Cinnamon.  if that can kill the danged unity display, ill be happy as a clam
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> bikcmp: rm ./\-blah.flv
[05:47] <bikcmp> Jordan_U, ActionParsnip, worked.  thanks.
[05:48] <ssasori> gnnr: thanks, checking now
[05:48] <Jordan_U> bikcmp: Another option for difficult file names in almost any command is something like "rm -- -blah.flv" where '--' means "Stop processing flags".
[05:50] <bikcmp> Jordan_U: yeah
[05:50] <bikcmp> good one
[05:50] <bikcmp> thanks.
[05:50] <Jordan_U> bikcmp: You're welcome.
[05:50] <dsprc> ssasori: be warned that pcmanfm (the file/desktop manager of LXDE) does not play nice if nautilus is on the same box
[05:52] <m000gle> Do any international mirrors exist for the kernel DEB files available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ? ... A mirror on the Chinese mainland would be ideal, but anywhere else in Asia could also be worth a try.
[05:52] <ActionParsnip> dsprc: not had an issue here, just need to add:   --no-desktop  to when you run it :)
[05:52] <ssasori> dsprc: cool thanks for the heads up.  going to virt ubu12.10 and try cinamon to see if it kills unity look.  so sad.... had my kubuntu all set up.... but bug after bug... sucks.  seriously though, ubu needs to bring in those widgets, those are AWESOME.
[05:54] <dsprc> ActionParsnip: had to replace it with thunar because it became so crash prone.
[05:54] <nsudo> which software allows me to open .dmg's???
[05:54] <dsprc> seems like nautilus gets jealous or lonely and fights for attention sometmes.
[05:54] <Jordan_U> nsudo: dmg2img might help you, but why do you want to open a .dmg file?
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> dsprc: I'm a huge fan of pcmanfm :)
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> dsprc: it also starts trying to draw the desktop unless you tell it not to
[05:55] <nsudo> Jordan_U I have exported a movie in a dmg
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManageDiscImages#DMG_Images
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: In future I suggest you use ISO files, they are slightly easier to work with than apple rubbish
[05:58] <gnnr> dsprc, I have some issues with nautilus, usually go with one or the other on an install.
[05:58] <gnnr> have had
[05:59] <dsprc> ActionParsnip: ill try that and see if it helps to clear things up
[05:59] <YourTROLL> hello everybody !!
[05:59] <nsudo> ActionParsnip ok
[06:00] <gnnr> i'll have to try what you suggested
[06:00] <allquixotic> On Ubuntu 12.10, I want to have VMware fullscreen on my secondary monitor but the global menu bar at the top keeps painting over the vmware window.. can I disable the global menu for the other monitor?
[06:01] <YourTROLL> i want to learn the commands for ubuntu 12.4
[06:01] <YourTROLL> where can i find all of them ?
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> YourTROLL: then use it, you will learn as you use it
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> !manual | YourTROLL
[06:02] <Malimbar> It's hard to dignify responding to someone's questions when their username is YourTROLL
[06:02] <YourTROLL> yea but i am new with ubuntu
[06:02] <Malimbar> it's like asking for trouble
[06:02] <nsudo> ActionParsnip anything to replace fcp?
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> YourTROLL: thats a good start, there are tonnes of commands. I suggest you use duckduckgo and search for:  !man command     and you'll get a man page (handy)
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: what is fcp?
[06:03] <nsudo> ActionParsnip anything to replace final cut pro?
[06:03] <YourTROLL> mm okay thank you !!!
[06:03] <nsudo> ActionParsnip anything to replace final cut pro (video editor ) and motion (vfx) ?
[06:04] <Malimbar> final cut pro is a pretty high end program. Linux has video editors, but I don't know of any that wel respected
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: pitivi
[06:04] <Malimbar> pitivi is fun :)
[06:04] <ngt> ActionParsnip: I have done what was written here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1591873&page=1 but unfortunately there is nowhere to manually select the driver.
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: lightworks gets awards too
[06:04] <nsudo> ActionParsnip cool
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/professional-video-editor-lightworks-shown-off
[06:06] <gnnr> ActionParsnip, lightworks is available now?
[06:07] <Malimbar> it's in limited alpha right now I think
[06:07] <ActionParsnip> gnnr: not sure
[06:07] <dsprc> blender has some tools that allow you to lay cuts on the time line and do some editing as well
[06:07] <ngt> ActionParsnip: Furthermore, when ever i tried to print a test page or something else, the status of that job is Completed yet the printer is not printing anything
[06:07] <gnnr> yea as of 31st hmm
[06:11] <nsudo> ActionParsnip Thanks
[06:11] <Jordan_U> nsudo: Right now most video editing and effects software for GNU/Linux is either frankly not up to par with what's available in the Final Cut Suite, or is only available to those working in companies making blockbuster movies.
[06:11] <gnnr> i was bad i had to run mac in a vm, to do video editing when I needed it :(
[06:12] <Malimbar> I heard you could do that only recently, and it still suprises me that you can
[06:13] <Ali_nz^1> gnnr: where do I create a hash?
[06:14] <nsudo> Jordan_U Ya so true
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> depends what you need
[06:16] <Jordan_U> nsudo: That said, the short films from the Blender foundation prove that you can still do amazing things with purely open source software. The latest being "Tears of Steel" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6MlUcmOul8
[06:17] <gnnr> Ali_nz^1, go here: http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/ and click direct url
[06:17] <gnnr> in that url is a hash for your subdomain, or you can simply query that url with wget or curl
[06:21] <undriedsea> This is not working any ideas? Sender: tar c /dir netcat MYIP MYPORT , Recv: netcat -l MYPORT | tar x . Error is: tar: This does not look like a tar archive
[06:22] <nsudo> Jordan_U Ya Blender is a awesome piece of foss
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> undriedsea: ask in #bash too :)
[06:24] <undriedsea> thanks
[06:24] <Jordan_U> nsudo: And since their target was "to improve and test a complete open and free pipeline for visual effects in film", and I haven't tried their tools recently I may have to take back my earlier statement :)
[06:27] <nsudo> Jordan_U thats a good news !!
[06:30] <yoga> Hello World! Do I need to disable all the ppa before I dist-upgrade
[06:30] <yoga>        from 12.04 to 12.10?
[06:31] <nsudo> Jordan_U thats movie is awesome
[06:31] <Jordan_U> nsudo: Their others are as well, my favorit is still the first though just for story.
[06:33] <nsudo> Jordan_U does lightworks have a ppa?
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> yoga: I would as a precaution
[06:36] <nsudo> ActionParsnip how to install lightworks, ppa or terminal?
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: not sure dude
[06:36] <nsudo> ActionParsnip alright!
[06:37] <phillijw> So I assigned the hostname
[06:37] <phillijw> So I assigned the hostname 'litterbox' to my machine. How can I access it over the network using this name instead of IP?
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> nsudo: i believe its a limited alpha etc
[06:38] <nsudo> ActionParsnip oh ya, they say a neta release
[06:38] <nsudo> ActionParsnip nice for ubuntu
[06:40] <nsudo> ActionParsnip Jordan_U time for apple to shut their pricy acts !
[06:40] <dsprc> phillijw: you set the name locally via /etc/hosts or you can let your router handle it via dhcp (assuming it is "intelligent" enough)
[06:40] <phillijw> my router is PfSense
[06:41] <dsprc> then it most certainly is intelligent enough :)
[06:42] <phillijw> when I do an nslookup from my windows machine it says its a non-existent domain
[06:42] <brandon420> sup guys
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> phillijw: tried a different nameserver?
[06:42] <phillijw> pfsense is my nameserver
[06:45] <dsprc> phillijw: are you doing static or dynamic ip allocation?
[06:45] <phillijw> hm.. actually it just appears to be my windows machine that's confused and can't find anything... maybe because it's being routed through wireless bullcrap
[06:45] <phillijw> dsprc, dynamic
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> phillijw: try a web based one, like <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:45] <dsprc> did you reboot the machine or ask for a new dhcp lease after you renamed litterbox?
[06:46] <phillijw> ActionParsnip, I dont think you understand my issue. The problem exists on my internal network. Not the interwebs
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> phillijw: ahhh i ee

[06:47] <ArubaDods> I made a bootable usbdrive, with AntiX linux on it. it work fine on my new laptop. But on my Old laptop it does not. It give me the message that there is no bootabtle device (something like that).
[06:47] <ArubaDods> Is there anyone who can tells me why?
[06:47] <ArubaDods> ps. What I did was, sudo fdisk -l to see the usbdrive I wanted to make bootable sudo dd if=AntiX.iso of=/dev/sdx (in my case sdb).
[06:47] <FloodBot1> ArubaDods: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> phillijw: can you ping the dns server?
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: antiX linux isn't supported here
[06:49] <brandon420> Is there a equalizer for 12.10? Pref something that works system wide...
[06:49] <ArubaDods> ok lets say linux, because it did the same with ubuntu server
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/details.php?room=%23antix&net=Zoite
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: if you want distro independant support, try #linux
[06:49] <ArubaDods> ubuntuserver 12.04
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: it's not ubuntu server
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: the link I gave you takes you to the support channel of your distro
[06:51] <ArubaDods> i try it with both
[06:51] <thedrub> Howdy. Do we talk "Mint" on this channel?
[06:51] <wols_> !mint
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> !mint | thedrub
[06:51] <thedrub> Many thanks all
[06:52] <brandon420> ActionParsnip, You seem to know what you are doing, is there a equalizer for ubuntu 12.10?
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: like an animation based on sounds played, or one to tweak the outputted sound itself?
[06:53] <gnnr> brandon420, checkout pulseaudio-equalizer, it may not be in the main repositories
[06:53] <brandon420> ActionParsnip, to tweak the sound.
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> !info pulseaudio-equalizer
[06:53] <brandon420> gnnr, I saw something about that, but I could not find where to download it at, only a "atp install link"
[06:53] <ArubaDods> anyhow, one other question wich one is lighter the xubuntu or lubuntu?
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: Lubuntu is slightly lighter
[06:54] <dsprc> ArubaDods: lubuntu
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: if you want super light, install ubuntu minimal then install openbox (no desktop needed) :)
[06:55] <gnnr> maybe someone else has a better option, but I've been using pulseaudio-equalizer for awhile, http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/webupd8/quantal/main/base/pulseaudio-equalizer
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: sudo add-apt-repositoru ppa:hbars-2/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-equalizer
[06:56] <brandon420> Thank you sir!
[06:56] <brandon420> <3
[06:56] <ArubaDods> ActionParsnip, Ok thanks a lot. I use the ubuntu server, but sometimes I want to use only the minimal requierments for watching movies, because its hooked on one of my lcd
[06:56] <thedrub> Suggestions for RTL8111/8168B wireless networking? No luck getting it functioning on an HP Pavilion dv7
[06:57] <ikt> hey, does anyone know how to get empathy to sign into jabber on login?
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: that is pretty much as light as it gets, you may want to install slim as a login manager too
[06:57] <dsprc> ArubaDods: if you want something really barebones you can use twm. i think the only dependency is that you have X and glibc
[06:57] <ArubaDods> ActionParsnip, I will test the openbox, thanks a lot. I will ask about the dd command somewhere else
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: ubuntu minimal + Xorg + openbox is about 1.2Gb installed if memory serves
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: if you use /etc/network/interfaces to configure networking you can save space there too :)
[07:01] <talpur>  Hi community...which command is used to check shell I am using in
[07:02] <talpur> bash: -/.bashrc: No such file or directory....So means I am not using bash. what is my shell? csh? zsh? how I check
[07:02] <thedrub> talpur | First "tty" to figure out your tty #. Then "ps" and look for the shell running on the tty.
[07:02] <talpur> need help comunity
[07:03] <ArubaDods> ActionParsnip, ok thanks. I was looking for e text editor to save your messages in xfce. but could not find it. I open a terminal and type gedit :-)
[07:03] <ArubaDods> dsprc, thanks for your help
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: mousepad
[07:04] <gnnr> talpur, chsh
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: you can run:  sudo ln -s `which mousepad` /usr/bin/gedit     to make life easier :)
[07:04] <dsprc> talpur: echo $SHELL
[07:04] <ArubaDods> oh! ok hahaha...thanks a lot
[07:05] <talpur> thanks thedrub.. I am biggner with ubuntu...can u write me exact command for checking...thanks gnnr and dsprc...i am trying those
[07:06] <ArubaDods> ActionParsnip, is ubuntu minimal like a iso which I can download?
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> !minimal | ArubaDods
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> ArubaDods: a simple websearch would have turned that up. Saves you having to ask......
[07:07] <thedrub> talpur: Type "tty". That lists the tty at which you are typing. Something like "/dev/ttys000", or similar. The "ps" outputs a list of processes and should have the shell name associated with the "ttysXXX". Will show "bash", "sh", etc
[07:08] <ArubaDods> haha...ok thanks
[07:08] <gnnr> did echo $shell not work?
[07:08] <ArubaDods> ActionParsnip, haha...ok thanks. will search for it
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> gnnr: with a capitall SHELL it outputs:  /bin/bash here :)
[07:10] <gnnr> derp
[07:10] <thedrub> gnnr | I didn't think $SHELL was absolutely definitive. Could be changed. Perhaps I've missed something.
[07:10] <yaung> ?

[07:12] <thedrub> gnnr |   :-)
[07:12] <Ali_nz^1> ActionParsnip: what was that smb share software you suggested before?
[07:14] <samuel> hello guys
[07:14] <samuel> I am trying to run Ubuntu on a macbook pro 15 inch with retina, however the fonts and icons are tiny
[07:14] <samuel> all else is well
[07:15] <samuel> is there any way to scale everything up without using a lower resolution?
[07:15] <samuel> or at least the font sizes?
[07:15] <phillijw> can anyone recommend a cli bittorrent client?
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> Ali_nz^1: install samba, that is what gives smb
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> samuel: make the font size bigger in the appearance configs
[07:15] <samuel> phillijw: transmission has an nurses client I believe
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> phillijw: rtorrent :)
[07:16] <Ali_nz^1> ActionParsnip: sorry I thought there was some special software you mentioned about samba users. I assume now its just part of the package
[07:16] <phillijw> samuel, what is transmission?
[07:16] <phillijw> ActionParsnip, ah nice. I think i've used that one before. Nice simple client
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> !info transmission-cli
[07:16] <samuel> ActionParsnip: I am sorry, but I must be missing something… I did look for it but its not there… I am on 12.10
[07:18] <gnnr> samuel,  System -> Preferences -> Appearance, select the Fonts tab, click the Details button
[07:18] <ArubaDods> Is there a easy way to get to a network file, using xfce? like ubuntu opening Home folder and see the link in the list 'browse network'?
[07:19] <samuel> gnnr: thanks also, but I don't seem to have a fonts tab
[07:19] <samuel> I am using a "stock" ubuntu install, might I be missing something?
[07:21] <gnnr> samuel, apologies, I am not on 12.10. It appears you might want to install Gnome Tweak Tool/Advanced Settings because Gnome has removed some of it's advanced settings by default. You can also try a different window manager
[07:23] <linux_is_my_hero> I just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and all of a sudden my gui looks different and everything is slow and the resolution is definately off
[07:23] <samuel> gnnr: thanks for the info, I will try those. Do you have any idea on what WM might handle a high DPI display better? I have tried gnome-shell and unity but they don't do so well yet.
[07:23] <gnnr> samuel, I am a fan of lxde or xfce
[07:24] <samuel> xfce works with a high resolution screen?
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> samuel: or install gnome-tweak-tool and tweak there
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> samuel: sure
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> samuel: you could set a higher DPI too and things will get bigger too
[07:25] <samuel> ActionParsnip: thanks, I will try xfce and the tweak tool
[07:25] <samuel> ActionParsnip: I did try that, but no luck
[07:25] <samuel> in xorg.conf
[07:25] <linux_is_my_hero> actionparsnip: why would upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 affect my graphics drivers?
[07:25] <samuel> I doubled the DPI hoping that it would make it a quarter as big, but nothing seemed to change
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> linux_is_my_hero: sure, you will also get a later XOrg version as well, it all contributes
[07:26] <p0is0n> can anyone link me to a good tutorial for starting programs automatically upon startup, or give me a quick rundown?
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> samuel: I'd go for setting the font larger, should make things look sure smooth
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> p0is0n: there is a startup items manager in dash
[07:26] <samuel> thanks very much

[07:27] <screwsss> hey, this is dumb asking this here since its to do with windows, but is it better to keep an OS on a seperate partition, or just have the lot on the 1 hard drive.
[07:27] <linux_is_my_hero> actionparsnip: by default in 11.10 and 12.04 i had to tell it to use the nVidea drivers but there was a place to do that under system settings.  this is gunna sound really stupid, but where did it go?
[07:27] <p0is0n> ActionParsnip, I'm using server version so i don't have a gui

[07:30] <p0is0n> ActionParsnip, for example if I want to execute a python script, can I type 'python File.py &&' and it will execute on startup?
[07:31] <ArubaDods> ActionParsnip, Nice mini.iso, I have made a bootable usb using that iso with the dd command. And it worked! I am going to play around a little. :-) Thanks a lot.
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> p0is0n: yes but you only need one ampersand. If you mark the file as executable you can just name the file and can omit the 'python' word
[07:33] <Ali_nz^1> ActionParsnip: Ok. Samba installed and created a share in smb.conf and set security = user
[07:33] <p0is0n> ActionParsnip, thanks mate. I'll have a read up on exact syntax
[07:34] <Ali_nz^1> now how do I create a Samba user that can access only that folder?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Ali_nz^1: sudo smbpasswd -a name
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Ali_nz^1: you can then add: allowed users = name   and so forth
[07:39] <devish> hi all, i had one question in sleep XX what is the type (ms or sec)?
[07:39] <llutz_> devish: sec
[07:39] <devish> llutz_: thanks
[07:39] <llutz_> devish: "man sleep"
[07:43]  * dsprc man sleep. hacker caffeine. ugh.
[07:54] <XiaolinDraconis> i have a laptop that i believe needs this package (its what i used before) http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/multiverse/base/firmware-b43-installer, what do i need to download so i can transfer it via usb drive?
[07:56] <XiaolinDraconis> i got lost when it required fw cutter package, i went to the package at ubuntuupdates.org and that told me the package was an umbrella
[07:56] <XiaolinDraconis> no clue what that means
[07:57] <dsprc> !b43
[07:57] <XiaolinDraconis> this was so much easier when i let the software center handle dependencies
[07:57] <wols_> XiaolinDraconis: that package is actually a script which downloads more software to extract firmware from it
[07:57] <wols_> XiaolinDraconis: you still can
[07:57] <XiaolinDraconis> no i cant
[07:57] <wols_> !info firmware-b43-installer
[07:57] <wols_> you can
[07:57] <XiaolinDraconis> that would require an internet connection
[07:57] <XiaolinDraconis> ...
[07:58] <wols_> use your ethernet then
[07:58] <XiaolinDraconis> thats not available this time around
[07:58] <Zlasher> Hi! I'm having problem with installing Ubuntu on a SD card
[07:59] <Zlasher> It seems like the card is remounted during installation and changes mount name
[08:00] <XiaolinDraconis> would this package not require an internet connection? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/broadcom-sta_<IP_ADDRESS>-4.debian.tar.gz
[08:01] <nokia> file transfer speeds. Is this normal. 2gb mp4 file ext4 to ext4 = 5 seconds the same file ext4 to ntfs 2 minutes+ ?
[08:01] <XiaolinDraconis> or is that going to need to download stuff too?
[08:01] <wols_> XiaolinDraconis: it's not a driver
[08:01] <wols_> it's a firmware
[08:01] <crimsonmane> nokia: that's normal.
[08:01] <wols_> nokia: yes. ntfs is a user space filesystem
[08:02] <XiaolinDraconis> then that makes the information at this page useless, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20No%20Internet%20access
[08:02] <wols_> nokia: it's not 5 seconds either unless it's from SSD to SSD
[08:02] <wols_> XiaolinDraconis: it's not. stop whining
[08:03] <XiaolinDraconis> stop being purposely unhelpful
[08:03] <Jordan_U> nokia: No, it's not normal for there to be a descrepency that large between ntfs and ext4, but you're probably misinterpreting what you're seeing.
[08:03] <wols_> have a nice day. good luck with your problem. PS: remember, _you_ need help from us
[08:04] <phunyguy_> well that isnt very nice.
[08:04] <XiaolinDraconis> i need help from helpful people, not someone who is going to give me the run around
[08:04] <XiaolinDraconis> vague is not a sexy look
[08:05] <wols_> !errors ! Zlasher
[08:05] <wols_> Zlasher: a sdcard is (usually) just a mass storage device like any other, so it shouldn't make any trouble. but you need to be more specific for people to help you
[08:05] <phunyguy_x1> fail.
[08:06] <hugo> hugo
[08:06] <Jordan_U> nokia: If you had run "sync" after making that "5 second" copy from ext4 to ext4 you probably would have had to wait at least two minutes for "sync" to complete (which means that all data is actually on disk). I'm guessing that you did the ext4 to ntfs copy either after the ext4 to ext4 copy (so the original transaction, which was in memory but not committed to disk was taking up RAM) or for other reasons didn't have much free RAM ...
[08:06] <Jordan_U> ... for the transaction to be cached in.
[08:07] <wols_> Jordan_U: could be that ntfs is always synced to preven corruption issues or maybe it has to be since it's userspace
[08:07] <Zlasher> wols_, How can I be more specific? It doesn't work because the card get remounted?
[08:07] <handuel> 'ello
[08:07] <Jordan_U> wols_: I doubt that either is the case but I can't say for sure.
[08:07] <wols_> when does the error occur, how do you know it's remounted, what is the error message, etc. lots of things you don't mention
[08:08] <phunyguy_x1> wols_, relax.  We are here to help, not berate.
[08:08] <wols_> phunyguy_x1: do you have a ubuntu related problem?
[08:09] <XiaolinDraconis> wols_, do you have an attitude problem?
[08:09] <phunyguy_x1> :-/
[08:09]  * phunyguy_x1 hands wols_ a beer.
[08:11] <handuel> to be fair on wols_ it is hideously annoying when someone asks a question without giving information
[08:11] <Jordan_U> Zlasher: What error messages are you seeing from Ubiquity (Ubuntu's installer)? How are you checking the mountpoint?
[08:11] <Zlasher> The error happens during different phases during the installation depending on when it gets remounted. I don't remember the exact error message but it was something with that the device wasn't  reachable or available
[08:12] <wols_> that sounds more like your controller or card craps out and gets non responsive
[08:12] <phunyguy_x1> handuel, also to be fair, all questions are welcome, and if info is needed, it can be requested.
[08:12] <handuel> it happens a lot on launchpad, you just get people going "ubuntu is broken" and expect us to know what to do from that
[08:12] <Zlasher> I get thown back to the paritioning step and there I see that the number in the mount name has increased
[08:12] <phunyguy_x1> this is ubuntu support, not gentoo.
[08:12] <wols_> Zlasher: what device name exactly has "increased"?
[08:12] <Zlasher> sda#
[08:12] <wols_> !ot | phunyguy_x1
[08:13] <wols_> Zlasher: that number at the end cannot increase
[08:13] <Zlasher> Cannot?
[08:13] <wols_> a partition is always sda1 and never can be sda2 unless you purposely rewrite the partition table
[08:13] <wols_> yes cannot
[08:13] <Jordan_U> Zlasher: That number is the partition number, it can only change if the partition table changes.
[08:13] <dsprc> Zlasher: after you add a partition to sda it will be sda1. then add another it will be sda2 etc etc
[08:14] <arunkumar413> hi, i want to pinch zoom using the touch pad. How can i do it in ubuntu
[08:14] <Jordan_U> Zlasher: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg" after a failure?
[08:14] <Zlasher> But it reset when I restart the installation
[08:14] <wols_> Zlasher: sure. if you create a new partition only

[08:15] <llutz_> talpur: path missing, "-" isn't a valind path to chroot to most likely

[08:15] <Jordan_U> talpur: You can't chroot into stdin, it doesn't even make sense. What is your end goal?

[08:16] <phunyguy_x1> I've said my piece.
[08:16] <Zlasher> The error message and the dmsg. Should I get anything more when I'm already at it?
