[00:00] <nulldev> ninux your syntax
[00:00] <nulldev> ninux incorrect for one cat -- >>
[00:00] <cockatrice> Should I choose 32-bit or 64-bit ubuntu for the usb drive installation?
[00:00] <golfik467> done
[00:00] <golfik467> I'ts copied
[00:00] <L3tops> ninux: you could follow that with an & and it will be backgrounded
[00:00] <xomp> could someone nudge me in the right direction for help? My ubuntu server is often the target of DDoS attacks and I've been trying to use tcpdump to determine where the source of the attacks are coming from but it's not going too well for me.
[00:01] <golfik467> ISO with no extraction
[00:01] <ninux> nulldev: could you tell me the right command ?
[00:02] <ninux> L3tops: you mean to add "&" to my command and thats it?
[00:02] <nulldev> ninux what is you want to do, and why does it require the redirection of tty1
[00:02] <golfik467> Jordan do u need windows cofiguration?
[00:03] <L3tops> ninux: tee is probably what you are looking for anyway
[00:03] <ninux> i have a small ARM server (hacked seagate dockstar) and just a ethernet and som USB port. i want to add a display and need tty over USB-Serial to a microchip
[00:03] <nulldev> ninux you cant tail off tty*
[00:03] <L3tops> ninux: /join #bash
[00:04] <Jordan_U> golfik467: Are you currently booted into Windows or Ubuntu? If you're booted into Windows then please reboot (or change computers) so that you can work from an Ubuntu system.
[00:04] <nulldev> ninux so thats wherwe its failing
[00:04] <Jordan_U> golfik467: And please include my nick in your replies so that my client will highlight them.
[00:05] <golfik467> as I said I'm using IRC for first time
[00:05] <golfik467> Sry for inconvinience
[00:06] <golfik467> both my computer ran on windows
[00:06] <golfik467> sry, are running on windows
[00:07] <ninux> L3tops: from man tee "tee - read from std input n write to std output" but i have to copy the tty1 output to usb. so tee wont work or am i wrong?
[00:07] <PlayX> http://de.twitch.tv/playx83 who wants  play with me? ;-)
[00:07] <golfik467> Jordan_U: both are running on windows
[00:08] <cockatrice> If I had a 64-bit version of ubuntu, would it run on a 32-bit processor?
[00:08] <priori99> where are the ubuntu wallpapers stored in my machine?
[00:08] <Jordan_U> golfik467: Please boot your other computer into Ubuntu via the liveUSB then come back here.
[00:08] <golfik467> k
[00:08] <golfik467> Jordan_U: k
[00:09] <L3tops> ninux: read your sentence back... " write to std output but i have to copy the tty1 output to usb"  you want to tee the output to USB... again though... you need to join #bash... this is not an ubuntu issue.
[00:09] <golfik467> Jordan_U: brb
[00:09] <Jordan_U> golfik467: We should be able to switch it from booting via Syslinux to booting via grub from within the LiveUSB session itself.
[00:09] <OerHeks> cockatrice, maybe not.
[00:09] <xomp> could someone nudge me in the right direction for help? My ubuntu server is often the target of DDoS attacks and I've been trying to use tcpdump to determine where the source of the attacks are coming from but it's not going too well for me.
[00:09] <nulldev> ninux what is you need to get from tty1?
[00:09] <priori99> not themes, but wallpapers
[00:09] <cockatrice> OerHeks: so it's safer to just install the 32-bit version of Ubuntu if I want it to run on all modern computers?
[00:09] <nulldev> ninux you might be able to get it from a log
[00:10] <OerHeks> cockatrice, yes, that would do on every machine.
[00:10] <Jordan_U> PlayX: This channel is for Ubuntu support related discussion only, please don't make offtopic comments here (especially ones containing links making them look like spam).
[00:10] <cockatrice> OerHeks: Thanks!
[00:10] <IdleOne> xomp: might want to see if #ubuntu-hardened   can help you out
[00:10] <xomp> thanks IdleOne
[00:11] <IdleOne> xomp: or #ubuntu-server
[00:12] <nulldev> xomp ddod are exactly what they say distributed so hard to pinpoint and block
[00:12] <ninux> nulldev: actually i want to write a log on this road: tty* -> usb to serial -> microchip -> display
[00:12] <ninux> i'll try it at #bash
[00:12] <nulldev> ddos*
[00:12] <xomp> nulldev, I've noticed the majority of attacks are icmp floods which wireshark can sort and I can drop the traffic via iptables
[00:13] <nulldev> xomp yeah you can filter by packet but not from source
[00:14] <xomp> yeah, I had my own server show up as the source and that's why I'm curious to find a way since I don't want to drop packets from my own box hehe
[00:16] <nulldev> xomp ddos comes from to many sources unfortunately unless someone else more network orientated corrects me
[00:16] <nikama> http://forum.ubuntu-fi.org/index.php?topic=42757.msg328857#msg328857
[00:17] <xomp> nulldev, I see, I guess there is no use in trying to mitigate such attacks outside of asking my provider to null the route for 24 hours?
[00:17] <nikama> how i uninstall all vmware files, ubuntu 10.04
[00:18] <nulldev> xomp worth speaking with your host they can usually filter some out just not
[00:18] <nulldev> all
[00:18] <greenwolf> suo
[00:18] <xomp> my server is with Linode, they don't really offer any help at all and instead threaten to blacklist you from their services should any attacks you have impact their network too much.
[00:19] <flametai1> Hi everyone, does anybody know if it is possible to watch Netflix on Ubuntu at all?
[00:19] <GeekSquid> flametai1: netflix has a plugin for firefox that works
[00:19] <yeats> nikama: seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Server#Uninstalling_Source_Installs
[00:20] <flametai1> GeekSquid, it is called Moonlight correct?
[00:20] <xomp> I really enjoy Linode and all and would hate to lose them as a host but if these attacks continue (which they likely will) I'll be ousted and left with over crowded providers to choose from :/
[00:20] <nikama> yes
[00:20] <nulldev> xomp if your on self managed servers thats the way it is
[00:20] <Cerrdor> After I have my server install all set up then in order to have others use my server I need a DNS server? Or can they just point to my IP?
[00:20] <nikama> Thanks yeats!!!
[00:21] <GeekSquid> flametai1: yep
[00:21] <flametai1> GeekSquid, I installed it but it still just gives me the requirement screen?
[00:22] <xomp> nulldev, thanks for your help, I'll just ride this all out and hope for the best lol
[00:22] <nulldev> cerrdor as long as the zone entries are pesent on your server then all they need to do is point the ns to your ip
[00:23] <nulldev> xomp ok , good luck
[00:23] <sirriffsalot> Hey! I logged in this evening and the right side of my top panel (in gnome classic), with among many other things, system settings, shut down button, et cetera, has disappeared...  I can't watch anything it still gives me the requirements screen =/
[00:25] <foxmulder881> any conky freaks here?
[00:25] <GeekSquid> flametai1: from what I am reading DRM comes into play which makes it difficult to watch protected media... It is coming, but we have to be patient... Couple of things you can do... Run a virtual machine of windows, or android to allow playback via the native tools there
[00:26] <nulldev> lametail I personally use netflix and the fact it flags it works on android, looks to me like the dev need to adjust there check var as it aint looking for inux
[00:27] <nulldev> *Linux
[00:27] <flametai1> Okay good to know thank you GeekSquid and nulldev
[00:27] <foxmulder881> anyone help me with a conky issue?
[00:28] <Cerrdor> sirriffsalot: try alt+F2
[00:28] <Cerrdor> nulldev: where would I check for those?
[00:29] <sirriffsalot> Cerrdor: ok? then what?:P
[00:29] <nulldev> cerrdor not sure with ubuntu as Im red hat based
[00:29] <Cerrdor> sirriffsalot that should bring back your menus
[00:30] <greenwolf> yes same problem here i just installed moonlight and its not working for netflix
[00:30] <sirriffsalot> Cerrdor:  Brought fourth a "run" window... nothing else:/
[00:32] <Cerrdor> wierd
[00:32] <nulldev> cerrdor do a updatedb && locate named.* or updatedb && locate bind9
[00:32] <EliahKagan> greenwolf: moonlight doesn't work for Netflix because it doesn't support DRM
[00:32] <Cerrdor> sirriffsalot try sudo killall gnome-panel
[00:32] <Cerrdor> should force a restart
[00:33] <sam1967> anyone know why alt-tab doesnt work in ubuntu ?
[00:33] <EliahKagan> greenwolf: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/1488/is-there-a-way-to-stream-netflix and the links therein for details
[00:33] <EliahKagan> sam1967: it does work, in general -- what desktop environment and Ubuntu version are you using, and is this a VM?
[00:33] <greenwolf> ok thanks eliahkagan
[00:34] <greenwolf> i will check that out
[00:34] <sam1967> its not a vm. im using 12.04 with gnome classic
[00:34] <lcc> does the current release of ubuntu support uefi?
[00:34] <EliahKagan> greenwolf: i think at some point maybe silverlight was going to work in Chrome (proprietary Chrome, not foss Chromium); besides that, if you have a copy of Windows, you can make a virtual machine and access Netflix inside that
[00:35] <EliahKagan> lcc: yes it's still supported, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting
[00:36] <nulldev> Im not an android user so why doesent something that works on android not work on a desktop
[00:36] <greenwolf> ok so really the only way to view it is thru a vmaware or virtual box?
[00:36] <EliahKagan> sam1967: i don't know why that's not working, unless you've edited your shortcut key combinations and overloaded Alt+Tab
[00:36] <greenwolf> thru windows on that
[00:37] <EliahKagan> greenwolf: or other virtualization software (you can run windows on qemu too, for instance)
[00:37] <nulldev> is it google proprietary?
[00:37] <sirriffsalot> Cerrdor: nope, reset back to how it was... still can't see it=(
[00:37] <BronzeEagle> So I installed ubuntu 12.04 server edition on one of my servers on my cluster for testing and mpd keeps throwing "handle_mpd_output 420): from mpd on $HOSTNAME, invalid port info: no_port" any ideas?
[00:37] <EliahKagan> nulldev: i think Microsoft supports the Android platform
[00:38] <EliahKagan> but Google Chrome might support Netflix
[00:38] <greenwolf> EliahKagan: not to familiar with qemu what is it?
[00:38] <EliahKagan> so i think that's worth trying
[00:38] <Cerrdor> sirriffsalot have you tried logging out then back in?
[00:38] <sirriffsalot> Cerrdor: hehe, yep...
[00:38] <EliahKagan> it's another FOSS virtualization solution
[00:38] <greenwolf> nice
[00:38] <Cerrdor> wierd
[00:38] <lcc> EliahKagan: so if I get a laptop with uefi firmware I can boot an ubuntu cd and install it, or is it a more complicated process? I'm reading the docs...
[00:38] <Cerrdor> hit alt+F2 and type gnome-panel
[00:39] <EliahKagan> lcc: i don't think you should have any problems
[00:39] <escott> lcc, there are lots of growing pains. worst case you are going to have to play around with grub-efi and bootloaders. save 1MB of free space on your disk somewhere in case you need to switch to a bios emulated boot
[00:39] <EliahKagan> greenwolf: see http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qemu
[00:39] <nulldev> eliahkagan really m$ supporting google?
[00:39] <Cerrdor> brb need to load up VM
[00:41] <EliahKagan> nulldev: no, it seems that Netflix supports Android as a special case (not using Silverlight), see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.mediaclient
[00:42] <EliahKagan> i would hope Microsoft would support Android to help Silverlight compete against Flash, but i guess not
[00:42] <EliahKagan> according to Wikipedia, Silverlight 4 supports Chrome
[00:42] <Cerrdor> Ok back
[00:43] <Cerrdor> nulldev you still around?
[00:43] <EliahKagan> so you might try that: https://www.google.com/chrome/
[00:43] <alusion> Hey ubuntu I want to customize my windows and nautilus color themes and whatnot what can I use to tweak such settings?
[00:44] <nulldev> cerrdor I am but under influence og ganja and alcohol
[00:44] <nulldev> of*
[00:45] <EliahKagan> Google Chrome installation on Ubuntu is simple and should not be hindered significantly by those chemicals ;-)
[00:46] <Cerrdor> EliahKagan, lol
[00:46] <Studious> you can download the Google Chrome deb file directly from the website
[00:46] <BronzeEagle> So I installed ubuntu 12.04 server edition on one of my servers on my cluster for testing and mpd keeps throwing "handle_mpd_output 420): from mpd on $HOSTNAME, invalid port info: no_port" any ideas?
[00:46] <Studious> and install it with the command sudo dpkg -i chrome*.deb
[00:47] <EliahKagan> or just double click on it and it will open to install with the Software Center (or with gdebi, if you are running an Ubuntu variant without the Software Center)
[00:47] <Cerrdor> Studious, is there a .conf file somewhere you need to edit?
[00:48] <sirriffsalot> Anyone...?
[00:48] <nulldev> studious if that command ever fails because theres no chrome* in the dir
[00:48] <Studious> open terminal
[00:48] <Studious> then change to the directory where your download file is
[00:48] <alusion> Hey with compiz-effects what should I look out for when tweaking my system to not mess anything up?
[00:48] <nulldev> people copying and pasting from google you will breaak your box one day
[00:49] <Studious> so what you can type is: cd ~/Download or cd ~/download
[00:49] <EliahKagan> nulldev: the download link i pasted for Google Chrome isn't a google search result, it's the official dowload page for Chrome
[00:49] <Studious> then do ls *deb which will list all deb files in the directory
[00:49] <EliahKagan> since Chrome is a Google product
[00:49] <Harris> Dr_Willis,  what ubuntu comes after 12.04
[00:50] <EliahKagan> nulldev: did you download it?
[00:50] <EliahKagan> if so, you have to go to wherever you downloaded it
[00:50] <nulldev> studious install it with dpkg -i full path never give noobs wild cards
[00:50] <EliahKagan> (or specify that in the path)
[00:50] <Harris> what version of ubuntu is after 12.04
[00:51] <EliahKagan> Harris: 12.04 LTS will be followed by 12.10
[00:51] <nulldev> Ive seen alot of noobs wipe most there system out using wild cards
[00:51] <EliahKagan> the code name for 12.10 will be Quantal Quetzal
[00:51] <EliahKagan> you can already start testing it but there are not many changes yet, besides the compiler and toolchain
[00:51] <blackmatrix_ny> hello folks...the laptop is connected to a power source but battery state is not showing as charging...any known bugs regarding this ?
[00:51] <Harris> what will be new in ubuntu 12.10 EliahKagan
[00:53] <nulldev> eliahkagan I wont let Chrome on my box
[00:53] <EliahKagan> nulldev: gotcha, i didn't know if you were trying to install or not
[00:54] <EliahKagan> Harris: like every new Ubuntu release, Quantal will have new versions of all the software officially packaged for it....besides that, to be specific, here are some planned changes: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/next-ubuntu-q-to-bring-font-icon-quantum-openstack-service-to-linux/10813
[00:54] <nulldev> eliahkagan what worries me is that chromium fails to start if no RW on /dev/shm
[00:54] <EliahKagan> it's pretty preliminary so far, as Precise was just recently released
[00:55] <BronzeEagle> So I installed ubuntu 12.04 server edition on one of my servers on my cluster for testing and mpd keeps throwing "handle_mpd_output 420): from mpd on $HOSTNAME, invalid port info: no_port" any ideas?
[00:55] <Harris> does anyone know what the game is called where animated characters look like bobble heads and they appear on a ski lift and you have 100 seconds to guess who they are
[00:55] <Harris> the maker starts with an n
[00:56] <Jordan_U> Harris: Try #ubuntu-offtopic.
[00:56] <nulldev> bronzeeagle not familar with your setup but sounds like your config is wrong
[00:57] <BronzeEagle> nulldev: Well I my master node and node-1 are running Debian 6.0.4 and I've done the exact same thing with the ubuntu serv.
[00:58] <BronzeEagle> s/I my/my/
[00:58] <Harris> how d i run imovie in ubuntu for free
[00:58] <escott> nulldev, why does /dev/shm worry you?
[00:59] <Harris> how d i run imovie in ubuntu for free
[00:59] <nulldev> bronzeeagle where does it get the port from when run? Is it manually inputted, is the destination port open on the destinaton server?
[00:59] <Harris> EliahKagan,  how d i run imovie in ubuntu for free
[01:00] <schnuffle> Harris: stop repeating yourself. If someone knows you'll get an answer
[01:00] <nulldev> escott nothing apart from everythin else that uses it works fine apart from chromium when I set it to RO
[01:01] <BronzeEagle> nulldev: It's not manual and yes
[01:02] <Harris> schnuffle,  stop being rude
[01:02] <nulldev> bronzeeagle can you pastebin the config?
[01:03] <BronzeEagle> nulldev: sure one sec
[01:04] <EliahKagan> Harris: you don't -- iMovie only runs on Mac OS X, Mac OS, and iOS
[01:05] <EliahKagan> Ubuntu doesn't have a way to run programs for any of those platforms (except with virtualization/emulation, which is nontrivial and undesirable for high-end applications like serious use of iMovie)
[01:05] <Deep6> guys anyone use vmbuilder here?
[01:05] <nulldev> eliahkagan does it run on bsd then?
[01:05] <Harris> EliahKagan,  i have to make a slideshow for my class
[01:05] <EliahKagan> as a separate issue, iMovie is proprietary payware, so the part where you get it (unless you already have it) would probably not be free
[01:05] <EliahKagan> if your BSD system is Mac OS X yes, but otherwise, no
[01:05] <nulldev> so no
[01:06] <bobweaver> Elchzard,  this is kinda off topic but Ubuntu tv is  moving right along (I dont know what Imovie is thou )
[01:07] <nulldev> I love Unix because it inspired Linux but also hate it for its propriety ness
[01:07] <schnuffle> Deep6: Haven't used but sounds interessting. Up to now I used lxc to create chroot test envs
[01:07] <BronzeEagle> nulldev: the only line in the conf file is "secretword=mysecretword"
[01:07] <EliahKagan> yeah, unfortunately not -- if you have the source for a Mac OS X app that uses the Cocoa framework, and are skilled and willing to do a little work, you may be able to port it to gnustep which will run on Ubuntu, but there is no framework in Ubuntu or any BSD or Linux based OS (besides Mac OS X itself) that will run Mac OS X and iOS apps
[01:08] <EliahKagan> well currently Unix is technically just a label that applies to OSes that get certified by the Open Group -- this can be FOSS or proprietary OSes
[01:08] <nulldev> bronzeeagle could be an auth failure can you manually connect using the creds the scripot uses?
[01:08] <Deep6> schnuffle: check it out vmbuilder is a hypervisor abstraction script
[01:08] <Deep6> quite cool
[01:08] <Deep6> if I can get it to work
[01:09] <schnuffle> Deep6: where is your problem?
[01:09] <EliahKagan> the oldest Unix-like OSes that are still used regularly for general purpose applications are FOSS, they are the *BSD operating systems
[01:10] <nulldev> eliahkagan arent aix or hpaix still going I never kow the exact name
[01:10] <EliahKagan> (and Solaris, which isn't FOSS since Oracle sunset OpenSolaris but OpenIndiana is equivalent)
[01:10] <Deep6> schnuffle: I managed to figure it out  now-ish....but i'll have to wait to understand if it'll happen again
[01:10] <EliahKagan> nulldev: yeah, Aix is still going strong, though doesn't have nearly as much market penetration
[01:10] <EliahKagan> and is mainly used for servers
[01:11] <EliahKagan> i guess this depends on how we define "general purpose"
[01:11] <schnuffle> Deep6: okay then good luck
[01:11] <bobweaver> EliahKagan,  do you have a ubuntu releated questions if not there is a off-topic channel for off-yopic things
[01:11] <EliahKagan> bobweaver: sorry to go off-topic; i was responding to a comment about proprietary UNIX, i'll stop now ;-)
[01:12] <nulldev> eliahkagan my bsd experience is installing freebsd 4 (I think)
[01:12] <JonEdney> EliahKagan, restrain yourself! :P
[01:12] <EliahKagan> unless you have a question regarding comparison of Ubuntu to proprietary Unix, nulldev
[01:12] <nulldev> apart from that nothing apart from /bin/bash
[01:12] <greenwolf> what really is the primary difference between BSD and linux?
[01:12] <bobweaver> I like to hear it but if it is offtopic maybe the off-topic channel is a good place I respect you for hearing me out thanks.
[01:12] <bobweaver> EliahKagan,  ^^
[01:13] <EliahKagan> is BSD / Linux comparison on-topic for #ubuntu (as it's not specific to Ubuntu...but Ubuntu is Linux)?
[01:13] <EliahKagan> (i don't wanna keep offending ;-) )
[01:14] <nulldev> uibuntu isnt linux well not from there new kernel compiling its not
[01:14] <escott> EliahKagan, its just a matter of keeping the channel clear for people who need help now
[01:14] <bobweaver> EliahKagan,  I learned the hard way but if you are ever in doubt ask  #ubuntu-irc
[01:14] <OerHeks> greenwolf, mainly: The BSD License is much less restrictive and even allows for the distribution of binary-only source.
[01:15] <greenwolf> wow ok
[01:15] <greenwolf> any difference in regards to performance
[01:16] <Deep6> hrm....anyone have a way of shrinking /
[01:16] <escott> Deep6, boot the livecd/liveusb and use gparted
[01:16] <bobweaver> Deep6,  what do you `mean by shrink ?
[01:17] <JonEdney> Deep6, if you mean make the partition smaller, you can boot from live CD
[01:17] <JonEdney> Wow, that came a little late.
[01:17] <Deep6> well, it occurred to me that I for disk performance of my vm's I should be using raw lvm devices
[01:17] <nulldev> no other Linux chaneels act like this but they do linux-kernel not ubuntu-kernel are you funded by m$?
[01:17] <Deep6> so, given i have all of my lvm vg used up in the lv root
[01:18] <escott> Deep6, be careful with those. you can break things badly by mounting the raw device under host and guest
[01:18] <Deep6> I need to resize my lv root, to provide more space for lvm raw devices
[01:18] <Deep6> escott: they wouldn't be mounted under the host
[01:18] <Deep6> just essentially be raw lv's for guests
[01:18] <escott> Deep6, just make sure of that
[01:18] <Deep6> to improve disk io
[01:19] <Deep6> \
[01:19] <Deep6> ze plan is fullproof
[01:19] <Deep6> it'll be unsinkable!!!!
[01:19] <JonEdney> Like the titanic...
[01:19] <Deep6> drat, I knew I'd heard that before
[01:20] <Deep6> somewhere
[01:20] <EliahKagan> nulldev (and whoever): i just joined #ubuntu-offtopic, i'd be pleased to contrast GNU/Linux and BSD systems there if you're interested
[01:21] <nulldev> if titanic had been software it wouldnt have been heard of the amount of buggy software
[01:22] <nulldev> yeah will join you eliahkagan
[01:27] <Cerrdor> Is BIND9 what I need for DNS and Zone management?
[01:28] <mortal1> has anyone here ever set up whole disk encryption with a seperate home partition?
[01:28] <Deep6> Cerrdor: yes
[01:28] <Cerrdor> kthnx
[01:29] <Deep6> Cerrdor: it's not something you setup overnight, without experience
[01:29] <Cerrdor> thats what im about to learn
[01:29] <Deep6> try and find the Orielly book written by Cricket Liu
[01:30] <Cerrdor> Deep6, can you give me some idea of what is going to be involved here?
[01:30] <Deep6> Cerrdor: voodooo
[01:30] <Deep6> but fun voodoo
[01:31] <Deep6> look for the oreilly book online
[01:31] <Cerrdor> Meh I have been a voodoo practicianer for over 20 years now I dont think it is going to help tonight though lol
[01:31] <Deep6> most people don't truly get DNS, running your own server is one of the best ways of doing so
[01:32] <Cerrdor> thats what it is for. I want to learn what goes on on my hostings side of things I want to learn how they do it
[01:32] <Deep6> Cricket _gets_ DNS... more than a bazillion people combined, and on top of it, he's a good guy
[01:33] <oscarpaats> Hi. I can't edit my grub 2. I try gksu gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom but it does not allow me. I run as administrator
[01:33] <Deep6> Cerrdor: 10 years ago people were using BIND a lot and manually maintaining their own zone files, often now people are using appliances
[01:33] <Deep6> or.....shudder....Windows for DNS
[01:34] <Deep6> Infoblox (whom Cricket works for) has appliances that are based on BIND
[01:34] <randomDude> is there some kind of linux method to centerally manage firefox, thunderbird, gnome-shell and googlechrome SETTINGS and updates for a local network of workstations from a central server?
[01:34] <randomDude> would i use puppet to manage firefox addons/settings/bookmarks, googlechrome addons/settings/bookmarks, thunderbird settings/useraccounts for a localnetwork of workstations deployed by a cobbler server?
[01:36] <schnuffle> randomDude:  Puppet could do it
[01:37] <randomDude> schnuffle: is that just an observation or do you have some kind of links that document experience with this particular scenario?
[01:37] <schnuffle> randomDude: Just checking if I find the pages I read
[01:46] <mortal1> is it possible to have a seperate home partition using ubuntu's whole disk encryption?
[01:46] <escott> mortal1, should be

[01:55] <dinguse> Hello, has anyone here had any experience syncing an iphone under ubuntu 12.04?
[01:55] <sam1967> hello thanmustoki. what does your name mean ?
[01:55] <dinguse> From what I've gathered, the best way to do this is with itunes on virtualbox, but i'm not sure if there's a better way
[01:56] <escott> !ipod
[01:56] <dinguse> escott, thanks
[01:57] <dinguse> escott, on that page there is nothing mentioning 12.04... can i assume that the instructions for 10.10 will work for me?
[01:58] <Harris> hi i added the cube under desktop in compiz and now when i go under workstation i cant click a window and move it to a different workstation
[01:59] <randomDude> schnuffle: did you have any luck finding that information ?
[01:59] <escott> dinguse, presumably
[01:59] <schnuffle> Not yet. I read an article about it, but couldn't find it in my linklist
[01:59] <dinguse> escott, thanks
[02:02] <noahnoah> Strange problem with startup applications in 12.04.  I have two applications listed - vncserver and quick synergy.  Upon startup I get 150 COPIES of each started.  Any idea who??
[02:02] <noahnoah> why??
[02:04] <JonEdney> noahnoah, I'm not familiar with that personally, but did you try removing the applications and reinstalling them?
[02:04] <noahnoah> That's couldn't possible be the issue.  The applications are fine.  the startup process is creating all the instances
[02:08] <VMERSINTO> what language is opera written in?
[02:09] <pslodge> Hi
[02:09] <EliahKagan> it's mostly C++
[02:09] <pslodge> Is there a way to make Ubuntu look a little smaller?
[02:09] <EliahKagan> smaller in what way?
[02:09] <pslodge> Like, OSX on the macbook is quite clear and sharp and not in your face
[02:09] <pslodge> ubuntu is.. kind of jumping out of the screen at me
[02:09] <pslodge> everything is just  a little too bulky
[02:09] <VMERSINTO> i think he means resolution
[02:09] <pslodge> Well, resolution is one way
[02:09] <pslodge> but I'm running at the highest
[02:10] <pslodge> which happens to be the same as my macbook
[02:10] <pslodge> but ubuntu is still looking a little chunky
[02:10] <EliahKagan> so you want the windows and menus to use fewer pixels
[02:10] <pslodge> expecially in eclipse
[02:10] <pslodge> Yes
[02:10] <pslodge> exactly
[02:10] <L3tops> !enter
[02:10] <FloodBot1> pslodge: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:10] <Harris> hi i added the cube under desktop in compiz and now when i go under workstation i cant click a window and move it to a different workstation
[02:11] <pslodge> I've made all the systems fonts smaller, that helped a little
[02:11] <L3tops> cube breaks unity... what version ubuntu are you on Harris?
[02:11] <xangua> Harris: happends then you force an incompatible compiz plugin with unity ;)
[02:11] <Harris> 12.04 L3tops
[02:11] <L3tops> yeah... cube does not play nice with the other kids...
[02:12] <Harris> L3tops, how do i fix it then
[02:12] <L3tops> disable the cube
[02:12] <Harris> i did
[02:12] <Harris> that did not work
[02:12] <L3tops> I am not really sure what enabling the cube asks you to disable in order to do it, but you will need to reenable those things.
[02:13] <Harris> should i uninstall compiz
[02:13] <L3tops> no... that would definitely break everything
[02:13] <xangua> Harris: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html

[02:14] <cab938> I did an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, and now it seems a bunch of services are broken

[02:15] <HyperNerdV2> Guys, i have a quick question about android… Does anyone know if android phones give you the option to down-res movies automatically when attempting to send via e-mail?
[02:15] <HyperNerdV2> Much like when you take a photo and the os will ask if you want to send a "small" "medium"  or "large" version.
[02:16] <iBotPeaches> yes it does
[02:16] <cab938> I have a problem with being able to run various services.  I'm running ubuntu 12.04  When I tryand ssh into my machine, or connect to samba share I can't, even on localhost.  I get Connection refused.  ufw says it is disabled.  I can't connect based on my external IP either.
[02:16] <cab938> It's not just ssh, it is samba too
[02:16] <HyperNerdV2> iBotPeaches: was that directed at me?
[02:17] <iBotPeaches> HyperNerdV2, yes
[02:17] <HyperNerdV2> iBotPeaches: ha, thanks
[02:17] <escott> cab938, are you coming in from outside your local subnet
[02:18] <iBotPeaches> My comp has been sitting at the installer of "who are you?" for 25min, it only took 4 seconds on my laptop. Guess something failed, restarting and trying again
[02:18] <cab938> escott, from the same machine
[02:19] <cab938> I've tried same subnet too, but that didn't help
[02:19] <cab938> no problems with outgoing net traffic
[02:19] <cab938> and I can do things like torrent
[02:19] <cab938> so it seems to be specific to these services
[02:19] <escott> cab938, and what does service ssh status say
[02:20] <arooni-mobile> i read through : http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-ubuntu-linux-install-onionrouter-software/ ... but how do i get ubuntu to route *all* outgoing traffic through privoxy /tor?
[02:20] <cab938> ssh stop/waiting
[02:20] <escott> cab938, well its not running
[02:20] <cab938> And I just tried to restart it;
[02:20] <cab938> cab938@bamboo:~/sandboxes/cab938/Research$ sudo service ssh restart
[02:20] <cab938> stop: Unknown instance:

[02:20] <Zambz> hey guys, is there any similar application for Ubuntu to perform filer-like (ZFS Solaris) functions? :) thanks heaps
[02:20] <cab938> So it seems borked?
[02:20] <cab938> where would a find an error log for it?
[02:21] <escott> /var/log/
[02:21] <cab938> It did work before the upgrade, hence the thought that the upgrade killed it
[02:22] <escott> cab938, what is your runlevel? are you at 2?
[02:22] <cab938> yes
[02:22] <cab938> syslog has this:
[02:22] <cab938> May 25 20:22:48 bamboo kernel: [372835.638299] init: ssh main process (3835) killed by ABRT signal
[02:22] <cab938> May 25 20:22:48 bamboo kernel: [372835.638325] init: ssh respawning too fast, stopped
[02:22] <FloodBot1> cab938: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:22] <cab938> A bunch of times
[02:23] <arooni-mobile> nevermind found this guide : http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Tor
[02:23] <mortal1> is there a way to tell the ubuntu alt cd to use an existing lvm instead of creating one?
[02:23] <cab938> Is there a specific log file for ssh?
[02:24] <escott> cab938, that suggests that sshd is calling abort inside its own code. some assertion must be failing
[02:25] <escott> Zambz, you may want to tell us what those functions would do
[02:25] <cab938> When I tail the log and restart it tries about half a dozen times calling ABRT and then finally stopping
[02:26] <Zambz> escott: Hey buddy, well they provide snapshotting and RAID-Z of all filesystems, much like a filer
[02:26] <escott> Zambz, so btrfs (also a oracle product) supports snapshotting. another approach is lvm which provides various replication features
[02:27] <escott> Zambz, and if you want raid btrfs has that built in, or you can use mdam
[02:27] <Zambz> will check those out
[02:27] <Zambz> thanks!
[02:28] <escott> Zambz, btrfs is the most obvious direct competitor to things like ZFS but its not considered stable yet
[02:29] <foxmulder881> a stable btrfs seems a long time coming, actually.
[02:29] <cab938> escott, when I run sshd stand alone it seems to core dump; what would be the best way to reinstall it and is dependances?
[02:29] <cab938> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1007480/
[02:29] <cab938> Shows the dump
[02:30] <escott> cab938, maybe. hard to say whats going on ther
[02:31] <escott> cab938, you dont have anything pinned do you
[02:31] <venenoverde> hello

[02:31] <cab938> escott, is it sad I thought instantly about my wife's tablet and her pinterest usage?
[02:31] <cab938> :)
[02:31] <cab938> I'm afraid I don't know pinned in this context, unless its cpu, and no
[02:31] <escott> !pinning | cab938
[02:32] <foxmulder881> can anyone see my comments?
[02:32] <foxmulder881> reply just with "yes".
[02:33] <escott> foxmulder881, yes
[02:33] <foxmulder881> thanks escott. ;-)
[02:33] <cab938> I don't think I do escott, I don't have an /etc/apt/preferences file

[02:35] <escott> !details | akshatj__
[02:36] <akshatj__> 12.04, installing using USB
[02:37] <escott> and it is stuck doing what
[02:37] <akshatj__> Installing
[02:37] <escott> can you be more specific
[02:37] <akshatj__> It is stuck at "Installing System"
[02:38] <Zambz> escott: I also just installed zfs-fuse and created a new pool which looks to be working quite well!
[02:39] <venenoverde> hello
[02:39] <escott> akshatj__, i wonder if you could login to a tty while the installer is running. you could try it Ctrl-alt-f1 should bring up a tty, and ctrl-alt-f7 should take you back
[02:40] <escott> at the terminal you might be able to run top to see if the cpu is in use
[02:40] <Thehobo> Hey, I am trying to install Ubuntu and after boot, my monitor keeps saying "Check signal cable". I am running through a DVI to VGA adaptor (my monitor is samsung syncmaster 740N). And I can't even INSTALL the OS :(.
[02:40] <Thehobo> I looked on google and I couldnt find anything.
[02:40] <escott> Thehobo, dont run through adapters like that
[02:41] <Thehobo> escott, how come?
[02:41] <foxmulder881> above, avoid adapters.
[02:41] <cab938> escott, Is it insane to try and --reinstall ubuntu-desktop?
[02:41] <cab938> I'm really at a loss where to go next with this
[02:41] <escott> Thehobo, cause they are all broken. edid gets screwed up, and you cant get modelines
[02:41] <escott> cab938, i dont think it would do anything because it would only reinstall that one package
[02:42] <cab938> is there a way to reinstall with deps?
[02:42] <Thehobo> escott, foxmulder881, but for example I tried booting a windows CD and that works. So I suspect it has to do with Ubuntu not knowing how to output?
[02:42] <foxmulder881> probably not recognizing the display through the adapter.
[02:42] <foxmulder881> do you really need the adapter?
[02:43] <Thehobo> foxmulder881, Yes, my monitor is very old and my graphics card only has DVI outputs. :(
[02:43] <Thehobo> foxmulder881, my only other choice is to buy a new monitor which is out of the question due to financial constrains.
[02:44] <foxmulder881> no suggestions other than get a more modern display. sorry can't help you with that.
[02:44] <escott> Thehobo, you will want to specify modelines then
[02:44] <foxmulder881> try another distro just for curiousity sake.
[02:44] <Harris> L3tops, i did all of the codes in the website that xangua  gave us but it didnt work
[02:44] <xangua> ¿¿
[02:45] <foxmulder881> might be worth trying swapping dvi ports too.
[02:45] <Thehobo> escott, how do I do that though? It just boots, shows the little man next to a keyboard at the bottom of the screen. And only after that it goes to "check signal cable" while the system is still loading from the Cd
[02:45] <Thehobo> foxmulder881, I did that :)
[02:45] <Harris> xangua,  what is the upside down ? mean
[02:45] <escott> Thehobo, http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt
[02:45] <Thehobo> foxmulder881, I tried both Ubuntu and Xubuntu, you mean I should try something like fedora?
[02:45] <foxmulder881> yeah.
[02:45] <foxmulder881> just be interesting to see.
[02:46] <escott> Thehobo, basically any modern kernel 3.2 and up? is going to try and to KMS
[02:46] <xangua> Harris: as in what did you do¿
[02:46] <foxmulder881> escott, i did not know that. ;-)
[02:46] <Thehobo> escott, I am reading through the thing and I don't know how I can do that because I can't see anything.
[02:47] <escott> Thehobo, you would specify it at the boot loader
[02:47] <Gaybar2000> i got a problem
[02:47] <Harris> i copied the codes from your website to reset the compiz settings unity and launcher to get the workspaces working again but it didnt work xangua
[02:47] <Gaybar2000> how can i chose the kernel i want to boot from command line?
[02:48] <escott> Gaybar2000, hold down shift when grub starts
[02:48] <Gaybar2000> no, i can't hold shift, the computer is remote
[02:48] <Thehobo> escott, so the computer boots up. It says press any key to boot from CD, and then I get the problem I told you. I cannot see anything. How can I specify at the boot loader then?
[02:49] <escott> Gaybar2000, change the default index in /etc/default/grub and rerun update-grub. be careful though as you dont want to end up not being bootable
[02:49] <escott> Thehobo, sounds like you cant
[02:49] <Gaybar2000> thank you
[02:50] <Thehobo> escott, yeah :( oh well, thanks for trying to help me btw!
[02:50] <escott> Thehobo, you could try the alternate installer
[02:51] <Harris> xangua,  do you know what to do now
[02:51] <Thehobo> escott, yep :) thanks
[02:51] <keithclark> anyone be able to help with my mic not working anymore on my emachines netbook?
[02:51] <escott> cab938, im afraid i dont have any god ideas for you
[02:52] <cab938> yea, I'm feeling pretty empty here
[02:52] <cab938> ty for your help though escott
[02:52] <cab938> I wish I could just reinstall all 12.04 packages, maybe one was corrupted, but I have no idea how to do that
[02:52] <cab938> you would think there would be an option in apt-get
[02:52] <Harris> xangua, WHAT DO I DO
[02:53] <escott> cab938, there is a fix broken argument
[02:53] <keithclark> Well time to try another distro.....I'm tired of these 12.04 problems.  Just too many to solve.
[02:56] <xangua> !caps | Harris
[02:56] <xangua> Harris: what did you do in first place to force the cube plugin in unity¿
[02:59] <keithclark> Well I see by the activity here that Ubuntu is dying.   After a power failure, just opened a .doc and prompted to choose ASCII Filter Options. Why is this?
[03:02] <keithclark> Ok, can someone acknowledge that I was here?
[03:02] <Harris> xangua, what else can i do
[03:02] <lestat__> keithclark lol
[03:02] <deww> keithclark: nah
[03:03] <Thehobo> Can you install Ubuntu from Windows on an usb drive and then boot from that drive?
[03:03] <jordan> ok i really need some help with a ubuntu and windows 7 dual boot
[03:03] <keithclark> Ok, have fun.
[03:04] <Thehobo> jordan, what is the problem?
[03:05] <keithclark> I have to say before I leav e that this used to  be the o/s to have and the one to cphjjome to for help.  Now, nothing....I have no issue with that as there are many more to ch
[03:05] <keithclark> chose from.  Like Mint.

[03:06] <jordan> OK, who is knows a lot about dual booting ubuntu with another OS?! Cause I really need some help!
[03:06] <escott> cab938, sure. if you just wanted to reinstall the entire os you might manage to do that with some dpkg commands
[03:06] <Gaybar2000> you better use a virtual machine today
[03:07] <roasted> Question - I'm trying to figure out a way to rotate some items on my system. I'm running Motion, which takes continual JPGs when motion is detected on the camera. I want to keep a feed for 7 days... I'm trying to figure out with bash scripts and cron how at midnight I can move today's files as "yesterday" but retain monday/tuesday/wednesday as thedirectory names...
[03:07] <OerHeks> jordan, just ask your real question and find out?
[03:07] <escott> roasted, use logrotate. it runs daily you just need to create a config for it
[03:07] <keithclark> So that is Ubuntu's last chance to help me?

[03:12] <GeekSquid> keithclark: please ask a real question, instead of badmouthing us... it helps if you have a question that we can answer... I logged on recently of if you posted before I didn't see it, others may not have either... see !patience
[03:12] <jordan> OK, so I installed Ubuntu on a friends laptop. I created a dual boot with windows 7 and Ubuntu and gave both equal amounts of memory. Hes going to use Windows for gaming and Ubuntu for everything else. However, he later told me that he needs more memory on the Windows partition since games take up so much memory. I used google to try to see if I can give more memory to the Windows partition, but everything I found was too confusing for me to fol
[03:12] <jordan> low. So can an expert give me an easy to understand answer on how I would give more memory to windows?
[03:12] <flank> ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[03:12] <flank> ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
[03:12] <keithclark> GeekSquid, I did\
[03:12] <sary> keithclark: Hi , for people to be able to assist you .. you need to state your issue in details.
[03:12] <sary> flank: !
[03:12] <xangua> Harris: how about you open compiz settings manager, Disable the Cube and Largedesktop plugins and then Enable Desktop Wall plugin
[03:12] <xtu> hi, is there any bbs software for ubuntu based on text, no gui.
[03:12] <flank> i know
[03:13] <GeekSquid> jordan: use gparted, shrink the ubuntu partition, and increase the size of the windows partition... this will need to be done from the live disk, you can't do it with ubuntu mounted
[03:14] <flank> what talk about?
[03:14] <GeekSquid> flank ... this is support for ubuntu... not really a chat channel
[03:15] <flank> ???
[03:15] <sary> flank: this a support channel .. you can chit-chat in #defocus , or #ubuntu-offtopic .
[03:15] <Thehobo> jordan, Gparted comes with the Ubuntu Live CD. Just boot from the live CD and run Gparted and shrink the Ubuntu partition like Geeksquid said (very easy and intuitive)
[03:15] <jordan> Ok, on Gparted, how will i be able to tell which partition is ubuntu and which is windows 7
[03:15] <Harris> oops xangua  i uninstalled compiz
[03:15] <Thehobo> jordan, It will say on it: Windows is the NTFS one, and the Ubuntu one is the ext4 (or ext3)
[03:16] <escott> jordan, they will be different types. windows is ntfs
[03:16] <Harris> xangua,  do i reinstall it
[03:16] <flank> how to change ip by term?
[03:17] <Harris> !terminal
[03:18] <xangua> Harris: you did what¿!
[03:18] <xangua> sure uninstalling X Y and Z is the solutin to evertything...
[03:18] <flank> how to change ip by terminal?
[03:19] <Harris> xangua,  i uninstalled the app thinking it would fix
[03:19] <escott> flank, unless you have a static ip you cant just change it. it has to be set at the router
[03:20] <jordan> i think my friends laptop has a two windows (ntfs) partitions (I think one is windows 7 and the other is the recovery partition) is there any way to tell which one is which
[03:20] <escott> jordan, the recovery will likely be smaller
[03:20] <flank> such as ip <IP_ADDRESS> mask<IP_ADDRESS> gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:20] <escott> jordan, ther eis also traditionally a label
[03:20] <Sach> Working with libreoffice 3 in ubuntu 11.04. After a power failure, just opened a .doc and prompted to choose ASCII Filter Options. Why is this?
[03:22] <jordan> ok, and your sure this is possible? there shouldnt be any problems i run into?
[03:22] <roasted> escott, thanks!
[03:22] <GeekSquid> flank: you will need to edit /etc/network/interfaces
[03:22] <escott> jordan, its not a bad idea to backup before resizing, but otherwise it should be safe. it will take a long time to shrink the partition because the data has to be moved
[03:23] <escott> roasted, ok? not sure how i helped but ok
[03:23] <jordan> Ok, well thanks!
[03:24] <Harris> xangua,  please help me i reinstalled it
[03:24] <roasted> escott, that was a delayed answer to you suggesting logrotate. Had to run the dog outside for a few mins so it took me a bit to come back and see you replied.
[03:24] <escott> roasted, ahh
[03:24] <roasted> escott, seems like logrotate is already installed, which I never knew existed. I'll have to look into it and see how to set it up.
[03:25] <escott> roasted, its pretty straightforward, just base it off the config for your other logs
[03:25] <xangua> Harris: aaah.... this should install all default packages: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:25] <xisor> hi im having a problem with wubi, it will not run on my windows 7 machine, it starts to load then closes, no error messages no nothing
[03:25] <xangua> (21:13:16) Harris: should i uninstall compiz
[03:25] <xangua> (21:13:22) L3tops: no... that would definitely break everything - i just don't get why you did it....
[03:25] <roasted> escott, so I can apply logrotate to items that aren't... logs?
[03:25] <jordan> actually wait...i just downloaded gparted to take a look at partitions...what is extended, ext4, and linux-swap? Which one should I shrink to shrink Ubuntu?
[03:26] <Harris> xangua,  maybe
[03:26] <escott> roasted, its just files. why would logrotate care whats in them
[03:26] <xisor> can anyone help me?
[03:26] <roasted> escott, good point
[03:26] <Harris> xangua,  i really want the cube though
[03:27] <GeekSquid> jordan: grab a screenshot and post it to imgbin.org
[03:27] <escott> extended is a container to hold other partitions, but it does not itself contain any data. ext4 is your linux partition, linux-swap is linux related but does not contain data
[03:27] <xangua> Harris: you do not want the cube because it breaks unity
[03:28] <xisor> guess not....
[03:28] <xangua> !anyone | xisor
[03:28] <xisor> i already asked my question, got zero response from anyone at all
[03:28] <Studious> escott: when your computer is low on physical memory (ram) it uses swap (harddisk partition) as alternate
[03:28] <GeekSquid> !patience | xisor
[03:29] <xisor> i asked if someone can help me figure out why wubi wont run at all on this machine, it doesnt even spit out an error message or anything
[03:29] <xangua> xisor: and why use wubi¿ why don't give a chance to reall install¿
[03:29] <escott> Studious, i know what it is. just didnt want to go through it all because its not really related to jordans quesion
[03:29] <xisor> simple, id rather not have to go out and buy an optical drive to try ubuntu, and even if i did i have no free usb or sata ports to plug it into.
[03:29] <jordan> http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=8177   and i am aware that they are currently mounted....im not actually going to shrink any now, im just getting a look at the partitions so i know EXACTLY what i need to do
[03:30] <flank> how to read ext4 in windows?
[03:30] <sary> Sach: no simple answer as to why is that .. you stated that this occurred after a power failure , so its common that the app got crached .. see if LibreOffice is set as the default app / right click on the .doc file and select Properties .
[03:31] <escott> jordan, one headache you will have is that extended partition. you can shrink the ext4 and then move it back so that there is blank space between the end of sda2 and the start of sda5, but you cannot expand the sda2 without shrinking the extended
[03:31] <GeekSquid> jordan: shrink /dev/sda5, then shrink,sda4 with the empty space at the beginning of the partition, then expand sda2
[03:31] <Harris> xangua,  but i have seen youtube videos of other ubuntu 12.04 users with it
[03:31] <Sach> sary: yes, libreoffice is set as the default app.  Also, the file size is 32kb, so there is definitely something there!
[03:32] <escott> jordan, a couple of approaches at that point would be to (a) take a backup of your partition table and then delete it, and recreate a new one that matches the current partition table exactly, but has the extended partition starting later
[03:32] <xangua> Harris: well then do as you wish and good luck...
[03:32] <escott> jordan, alternately you could use a tool like gdisk to convert the mbr table to a gpt table and then convert from gpt back to mbr setting the extended partition as desired
[03:32] <xisor> is there a wubi specific support channel?
[03:33] <Loshki> flank: Perhaps http://www.ext2fsd.com/
[03:33] <Harris> xangua,  i am going to give you the outcomes of the command you gave me where do i post it
[03:33] <sary> Sach: Ok , is the file extension labled as doc , or docx .
[03:33] <Sach> sary: .doc
[03:34] <jordan> this is why i get so confused...can you explain this to me in plain english (i really dont understand partitions all that much)...or mabye you could give me a link to a website that explains all this to me...
[03:34] <escott> Loshki, flank, ext4 is not suppored by ext2fsd AFAIK
[03:34] <jordan> what is an extended partition??
[03:35] <meraj> hi
[03:35] <Harris> xangua,  i am sending you a file with the outcomes of the code you gave me
[03:35] <Loshki> escott: ext4 support may be new (I've never used it). The web page clearly says "Open source ext3/4 file system driver for Windows"...
[03:35] <escott> jordan, start by shrinking sda5. the shrink will happen at the end of sda5 leaving blank space between sda5 and sda6. then move sda5 so that it lines up with sda6. now you have blank space inside sda4 (its that extended container)
[03:35] <meraj> can any one help me..my 3g dongle is nt working wit ubuntu..
[03:35] <sary> Sach: Alright , i've never truobleshoot liberoffice before for whatever reason .. lets see where can we look in next .
[03:36] <escott> jordan, then you would want to resize the extended partition (you shrunk the boxes inside the extended partition box so now you can shrink the extended partition box itself) but the tools might not let you do that
[03:36] <xisor> is there a wubi specific support channel?
[03:36] <Harris> xangua, http://pastebin.com/tyXPEezT
[03:37] <meraj> jonEdney: can u help me..i m nt able to use my 3g dongle in ubuntu.
[03:37] <arooni-mobile>  i was trying to reset my mysql root password; and shut down mysql with: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop.  now mysql is refusing to start;  i have already checked /var/log/messages ; /var/log/mysql but nothing shows up ...
[03:37] <escott> jordan, and so you might have to work around that, and the two ways are to backup the table and create a new one, or to convert from mbr->gpt->mbr
[03:37] <escott> jordan, i dont know if that makes any more sense
[03:38] <jordan> ok...im kinda getting it...but ill come back when im actually doing the shrinking...and just to clarify: i can add more memory to the windows partition, correct? sorry but i really like to double check with this stuff :/
[03:38] <eje211> I'm on Pangolin. I need to install libavcodec52 or libavcodec-extra-52 as a dependency but libavcodec53 is the only one available on Pangolin. What should I do?
[03:38] <escott> jordan, with a bit of work yes you can add disk space to sda2
[03:38] <meraj> escott: can u help me..i m nt able to use my 3g dongle wit ubuntu.
[03:38] <escott> jordan, we reserve the work memory for RAM not hard disk space
[03:38] <JonEdney> meraj, I'm unfortunately not familiar with the compatibility of that.
[03:39] <Harris> xangua,  please ANSWER ME
[03:39] <meraj> ok
[03:39] <OerHeks> Harris, check your post
[03:39] <btorch> hello I'm trying to setup pbuilder and playing around with it . I'm trying to create a more dense package than bc and I'm runnig into dependencies issue. what's the best way to include the dependency already on my base image ?
[03:39] <Harris> OerHeks,  what posts
[03:39] <btorch> I'm following this btw https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto
[03:39] <meraj> xisor:can u help me..i m nt able to use my 3g dongle wit ubuntu.
[03:40] <OerHeks> Harris check your own pastebin. and keep up the attitude
[03:40] <eje211> I'm on Pangolin. I need to install libavcodec52 or libavcodec-extra-52 as a dependency but libavcodec53 is the only one available on Pangolin. What should I do?
[03:40] <xangua> !caps | Harris
[03:40] <Harris> OerHeks,  are you being sarcastic
[03:40] <jordan> work memory?
[03:40] <xangua> Harris: yes that's what i wrote¿ you wanted to confirm what i wrote¿ i don't get anything
[03:40] <OerHeks> Harris are you trolling this channel ?
[03:40] <meraj> jordan:can u help me..i m nt able to use my 3g dongle wit ubuntu
[03:41] <escott> !patience | meraj
[03:41] <xangua> !helpme | meraj
[03:41] <Harris> OerHeks,  what is trolling
[03:41] <xisor> can someone please help with with wubi?
[03:41] <Harris> xangua,  http://pastebin.com/y5Wn7LaZ
[03:42] <jordan> meraj, i dont know too much about wireless connections, but try me
[03:42] <wilee-nilee> xisor, maybe you have to ask the question, not for help.
[03:42] <xisor> i need help figuring out why the wubi application will not even run on this pc
[03:42] <xisor> it acts like its going to, then nothing happens at all
[03:43] <escott> xisor, this is after you installed wubi and try to boot into it?
[03:43] <Sach> sary: any suggestions/
[03:43] <xisor> no, i cannot even get that far, wubi itself will not load so i can install it
[03:43] <Harris> xangua,  this is the right outcome http://pastebin.com/y5Wn7LaZ
[03:43] <wilee-nilee> xisor, I would go to the ubuntu forums and have wubi in the thread header, and get the help from like the one helper there if you get no help here.
[03:43] <caesar_> is there a known issue with the file operations transfer status indicator?
[03:44] <xisor> so basically they make this thing and nobody uses or supports it?
[03:44] <sary> Sach: I guess creating a new profile for it might might show a difference .. or see if that window wont pop-up while logged in to a different user .. test this with the guest session .
[03:44] <wilee-nilee> xisor, it is just not real popular help is hit and miss, it is for trying out the OS in lieu of a prtitioned instal.
[03:44] <eje211> Hi. I have a dependency issue that apt and gdebi can't resolve on their own. I'm on Pangolin. I need to install libavcodec52 or libavcodec-extra-52 as a dependency but libavcodec53 is the only one available on Pangolin. What should I do? Mark the 52 verson as installed or force installation from source or another package?
[03:45] <wilee-nilee> *partitioned
[03:45] <caesar_> when i cut/copy a file say 300mb.. it jumps to 290mb transfered and sticks there until the tranfer is complete
[03:45] <escott> xisor, its not very popular with most people in the channel. i would recommend you do a regular install or that you use virtualbox
[03:45] <xisor> why would i be willing to do a "real" install if wubi wont even open? does not speak well to the usability of the OS, im trying to test it out, and i dont have an optical drive so this is my ONLY option
[03:45] <xisor> im not going to go buy a drive to test an OS that i may not like
[03:45] <xisor> especially if the windows based installer wont even run
[03:46] <xisor> i want a full speed test, virtualbox is far too slow and without native hardware feature support that my machine has, so it is not a viable test
[03:46] <sary> Sach: Yeah , am looking at something ..
[03:46] <jordan> escott: i have one more question: what did you mean by "work memory"?
[03:46] <Sach> sary: great.  much appreciated
[03:46] <escott> xisor, what about a liveusb? can you do a usb boot
[03:46] <Harris> http://pastebin.com/y5Wn7LaZ xangua
[03:46] <caesar_> anyone?
[03:47] <xisor> i do not know if my usb hdd enclosure allows booting via usb or not, and no idea how to set it up to do so
[03:47] <escott> jordan "word memory" not work memory my typo. we call hard disk space "disk space" or just "space" memory is RAM
[03:47] <xangua> Harris: so if there is nothing to install, you did not uninstall compiz¿
[03:47] <Harris> not yet i reinstalled it
[03:48] <xisor> i dont know why wubi doesnt work though, my machine isnt too old, the OS has been recently re installed clean, everythings working fine, except that
[03:48] <xangua> Harris: then why are you spinning around¿
[03:48] <jordan> escott: so what does that have to do with the partitions i showed you?
[03:48] <arooni-mobile> i'm not able to start mysql on ubuntu 10.04 lts;  mysql pre-start process (2655) terminated with status 1 ... any ideas on how to fix?  thanx!
[03:48] <Harris> what does spinning around mean
[03:48] <escott> jordan, you kept saying you wanted more memory. it was confusing. you wanted more disk space. thats all
[03:48] <sary> Sach: Try to reset LibreOffice user profile .. http://askubuntu.com/questions/136029/libreoffice-calc-background-fill-options-all-white
[03:50] <HACKhalo2> with the global menu, is there a way to configure it to ignore certian applications and display the menu bar the old fasion way?
[03:50] <jordan> escott: ok im sorry....im used to refering to diskspace as "memory" and word memory as "RAM" my mistake
[03:50] <soapee45> sup ppl
[03:50] <eje211> Hi. I have a dependency issue that apt and gdebi can't resolve on their own. I'm on Pangolin. I need to install libavcodec52 or libavcodec-extra-52 as a dependency but libavcodec53 is the only one available on Pangolin. What should I do? Mark the 52 verson as installed or force installation from source or another package? Is it part of some mysterious repository?
[03:51] <jordan> escott: well thanks a bunch for your help!
[03:51] <jrib> eje211: why do you believe you need 52?
[03:51] <xisor> does ubuntu directly offer support? or no?
[03:51] <xisor> since its clear nobody is willing to help me here
[03:52] <eje211> Because GDebi tells me it can't install my .deb without it.
[03:52] <eje211> jrib: Because GDebi tells me it can't install my .deb without it.
[03:52] <jrib> eje211: what .deb...?
[03:53] <eje211> Panda3D <pandda3d.org>
[03:53] <eje211> jrib: I mean, Panda3D <panda3d.org>
[03:53] <Sach> sary: /.config/libreoffice doesnt exist on my laptop.
[03:53] <JoFo> Hello everybody
[03:54] <pbx2> how do I install JRE 7u4?
[03:54] <pbx2> I downloaded the .tar.gz file and extracted it
[03:54] <pbx2> now what?
[03:54] <jrib> eje211: they seem to provide a maverick package.  Ask them about a precise package, or build one yourself
[03:55] <Harris> xangua,  thanks for starting A chat with me and then just quieting without finishing
[03:55] <Sach> sary: instead, in my home directory i can find /.libreoffice/3
[03:55] <eje211> jrib: Is there a guide on adding a self-build package to the deb tree? I'm afraid of breaking stuff.. Or is it safe to just build it?
[03:55] <jrib> eje211: what do you mean by "deb tree"?
[03:55] <jrib> !packaging | eje211
[03:55] <Harris>  join
[03:56] <eje211> jrib: If I build it, then dpkg won't know about it. Is the packaging guide about solving that?
[03:57] <jrib> eje211: I meant for you to build a deb package; yes the guide tells you how
[03:57] <eje211> jrib: I could build a deb before, but now I know it's the righ thing to do. Thanks. I feel a lot safer now.
[03:58] <jrib> eje211: you should also get in touch with the panda3d people.  Maybe you can help by contributing packages for more recent versions of ubuntu
[03:59] <Sach> sary: just tried it, but the document still opens the same way :(
[03:59] <Harris> xangua, please finish helping me
[04:00] <eje211> jrib: I think I actually work with them. (They're at Carnegie Mellon University, I'm at Carnegie Mellon University), so in addition to emailing, I'll ask around in person. But, yes, I'll definitely bring it up.
[04:00] <Harris> xangua, please finish helping me
[04:00] <Harris> xangua,  PLEASE
[04:01] <xangua> Harris: i think you need to clear your mind; you said you uninstalled compiz, and then you say you reinstalled it, the cube breaks compiz but you want the cube....stop spinning around
[04:02] <Harris> xangua, i need my workspaces fixed which compiz messed up
[04:04] <Harris>  OP <Harris>
[04:04] <OerHeks> Harris the answer is easy: uninstall the cube, it breaks unity.
[04:04] <Harris> i did
[04:05] <sary> Sach: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile#Resetting_the_User-Profile
[04:06] <Harris> how do i become an op
[04:07] <OerHeks> Harris, start your own irc channel, then you are op.
[04:08] <Harris> how do i start a channel
[04:08] <OerHeks> ask in #freenode :-)
[04:10] <Harris> xangua, i uninstalled it but the workspaces still dont let me drag windows to a different station
[04:12] <xangua> HarryS: so you uninstalled compiz and you expect unity to work¿
[04:12] <xangua> Harris: above
[04:12] <Harris> yes
[04:12] <arooni-mobile> i'm not able to start mysql on ubuntu 10.04 lts;  mysql pre-start process (2655) terminated with status 1 ... any ideas on how to fix?  thanx!

[04:16] <OerHeks> arooni-mobile, if this happened after upgrade, answer 27/30 could solve it >> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.1/+bug/573318

[04:34] <Harris> who was just helping me
[04:34] <blackmatrix_ny> manadys, its a samsung laptop
[04:34] <CoJaBo_> Ok, so DHCP is working fine, renewing the IP every few hours or so. That would be all fine and dandy, but this machine seems to have forgotten it is a server, and has a static IP set via /etc/network/interfaces - Why is this setting being ignored?
[04:35] <OerHeks> blackmatrix_ny, do you have a FN key and mouse key somewhere in the same colour as FN ?
[04:35] <CoJaBo_> .msg nickserv ghost cojabo
[04:35] <Harris> when i go to workspaces i cant drag a window to a different workspace
[04:35] <bazhang> CoJaBo_, /   a
[04:35] <bazhang> whoops
[04:35] <Harris> bazhang
[04:35] <Harris> is there a terminal code
[04:35] <bazhang> Harris, what is it, unity 2d 3d or what
[04:36] <Harris> i dont know it didnt says
[04:36] <jgmdev> CoJaBo, maybe you have network manager installed overriding your settings
[04:36] <Harris> i just typed in password
[04:36] <bazhang> Harris, sign out then back in and select one
[04:36] <Harris> what one should i click
[04:36] <blackmatrix_ny> OerHeks, i dont have that
[04:36] <bazhang> Harris, whichever one you want, I dont know the various DE you have installed
[04:37] <ddn> hello all, after last update on my 12.04 network manager is lost and no connectivity at all. what happened?
[04:37] <bazhang> ddn, the icon? in the indicator applet, or did you install wicd
[04:37] <sary> Sach: i tryied ti run in terminal .. libreoffice-writer .. but its the wrong command
[04:38] <ddn> bazhang: the icon, I just updated, no installations
[04:38] <Sach> sary: hmm...ok
[04:38] <bazhang> ddn, did you try re-adding it?
[04:38] <Harris> bazhang, it is ubuntu 2d
[04:38] <subhadip> I installed IE7 with winetricks, but it's crashing as soon as I'm launching the IE
[04:39] <ddn> bazhang: haven't, how can I do it?
[04:39] <bazhang> subhadip, check the appdb, then /join #winehq
[04:39] <bazhang> !appdb | subhadip
[04:39] <sary> Sach: Sach am looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice , and the Crashes section in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOfficeBugWrangling
[04:39] <Harris> bazhang, it is ubuntu 2d
[04:39] <Sach> Sary: ok
[04:39] <subhadip> Ok thanks
[04:39] <Sach> Sary: i'll have a look here too
[04:40] <bazhang> sary, what about tab completing the command in the terminal
[04:40] <CoJaBo> jgmdev: How do I check? This worked before, I recently swapped the mobo and the new NIC identifies as eth1 instead of eth0
[04:40] <CoJaBo> dhclient was running, i did a killall on that and nothing bad happened.. is it going to restart every boot, or was it just a leftover from when it was set to dynamic i wonder...
[04:40] <OerHeks> sary >> libreoffice --writer
[04:40] <Harris> bazhang,
[04:40] <bazhang> Harris, yes
[04:40] <Harris> it is ubuntu 2d
[04:41] <bazhang> Harris, and what is the exact problem
[04:41] <Cerrdor> whats the command I use in terminal if I want it to exit to another prompt ? Like if I sudo gedit something.file ^ and it will run gedit but it will exit to another prompt while running gedit?
[04:41] <Harris> i cannot drag a window in one space to another bazhang
[04:41] <sary> bazhang: thanks , haven't thought about that .
[04:41] <Harris> bazhang,  can we go in my channel
[04:42] <bazhang> Harris, no. don't ask users here to go to your channel. I've asked before, so don't do it again
[04:42] <Harris> ok
[04:42] <Harris> now how do i fix my channel
[04:42] <Harris> not channel workstation
[04:42] <bazhang> Harris, ask in #freenode not here
[04:43] <sary> OerHeks: thanks buddy , thats the right command Sach/ .. but then how to open a doc file with that command in terminal
[04:43] <Harris> not channnel my workspace problem
[04:43] <ddn> bazhang: forgot to say is Acer Aspire One netbook
[04:43] <Harris> i cannot drag a window in one space to another bazhang
[04:43] <manadys> Cerrdor: you probably want gsudo not sudo and if you append & it will fork the process to the background
[04:44] <sary> Sach: please state your issue again , so that others know about it.
[04:44] <manadys> i think it's gsudo, not sure, but I think doing sudo gedit /etc/file & will fork before you can authenticate with sudo...
[04:44] <blackmatrix_ny> anybody know where to configure the synaptics touchpad ?
[04:44] <OerHeks> manadys, gksudo
[04:44] <Sach> sary: will do.
[04:44] <Harris> bazhang,  how do i fix it
[04:44] <Sach> Working with libreoffice 3 in ubuntu 11.04. After a power failure, just opened a .doc and prompted to choose ASCII Filter Options. Why is this?
[04:44] <bazhang> manadys, did you mean gksudo?
[04:45] <manadys> apparently
[04:45] <bazhang> Harris, ask the channel here, if someone knows they will answer. be patient
[04:45] <manadys> I don't use a gui so I don't typically have to worry about those things
[04:45] <CoJaBo-Aztec> jgmdev: How do I check? This worked before, I recently swapped the mobo and the new NIC identifies as eth1 instead of eth0
[04:45] <Harris> !patience
[04:45] <Cerrdor> manadys, awesome thanks
[04:45] <Harris> i cannot drag a window in one space to another
[04:45]  * manadys simply automates things because the unix admin is too lazy to...
[04:46] <Harris> does anyone know how to fix this i cannot drag a window in one space to another bazhang
[04:46] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-Aztec, did you updated the interfaces file to configure eth1 instead of eth0?
[04:46] <OerHeks> Sach, damaged document, you better do a filecheck > touch /forcefcsk  ( and reboot to let filecheck run at boot )
[04:46] <CoJaBo-Aztec> jgmdev: Yeh, /etc/network/interfaces, as it said.
[04:46] <sary> Sach: Right , and liberoffice is set to default .. and please aslo mention what other steps you tried . thanks
[04:47] <blackmatrix_ny> anybody know where to configure the synaptics touchpad ?
[04:47] <Harris>  does anyone know how to fix this i cannot drag a window in one space to another
[04:47] <Harris> blackmatrix_ny,  download the driver
[04:47] <jgmdev> does /etc/resolv.conf is manually set?
[04:47] <manadys> we ask our UNIX admin to document the process of verifying a servers integrity... he gives us a 12 page document he spent a week building. I took one look at it and spent 45 minutes writing a script to do all the checks and email the results.
[04:47] <Sach> 0erHeks: so from terminal, i need to type touch/forcefcsk   ?
[04:48] <CoJaBo-Aztec> jgmdev: That file just says it was generated by NetworkManager
[04:48] <Harris>  does anyone know how to fix this i cannot drag a window in one space to another
[04:48] <jgmdev>  I had some problems on the past because network manager was overriding my manual changes
[04:48] <Sach> OerHeks: so from terminal, i need to type touch/forcefcsk   ?
[04:48] <jgmdev> I resolved it by uninstalling network manager
[04:48] <OerHeks> Sach yes, it will make an empty file forcefcsk, to trigger filecheck at boot
[04:48] <blackmatrix_ny> Harris...thanks, atleast some direction was helpful
[04:49] <Sach> OerHeks:  ok, I will do that.  Once I reboot, what should I do?  Try to reopen the file?
[04:50] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-Aztec, are you running the server with desktop environment or accesing it thru ssh?
[04:50] <sary> Sach: Wait , did this issue occurred before , I mean is this he first time you tried to open the doc file with liberoffice in ubuntu !
[04:50] <OerHeks> Sach, after filecheck, desktop will load and hopefully the file is repaired.
[04:50] <CoJaBo-Aztec> jgmdev: Desktop now, but there is no networking gui
[04:50] <Sach> sary: no, it's not the first time.  I've been working on the document all day.
[04:50] <OerHeks> sary, powerfailure caused this issue
[04:50] <sary> Sach: Ahh , okay.
[04:50] <OerHeks> i hope the hdd is not damaged
[04:51] <Harris>  does anyone know how to fix this i cannot drag a window in one space to another
[04:51] <sary> OerHeks: clearly .
[04:51] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-Aztec, dpkg -l | grep network-manager
[04:51] <bazhang> !repeat | Harris
[04:51] <sary> file system check is needed for sure .
[04:51] <Harris>  does anyone know how to fix this i cannot drag a window in one space to another
[04:52] <CoJaBo-Aztec> jgmdev: Its installed and running; stopping it kills DNS resolution
[04:52] <Sach> sary:  going to run the file system check now so will reboot.  thankks for your help. you've been great.
[04:52] <carpi> could someone please tell me the syntax to save "overscan compensation" for my 2nd flat panel monitor in the xorg.conf file?
[04:52] <sary> Harris: Hi , which ubuntu version you're running and what window manager is in used .
[04:53] <carpi> There is a line that mentions something about DFP-1 in my xorg.conf file. should i simply edit that line?
[04:53] <sary> Sach: Good idea , i hope things goes well .. please report back here . :)
[04:53] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-Aztec, you can use dhclient adapter to get that information automatically
[04:53] <Sach> OerHeks: running touch/forcefcsk in terminal produces    "bash: touch/forcefcsk: No such file or directory"
[04:54] <carpi> i have 2 flap panel monitors.. DFP-0 and DFP-1 and I would like to create a line for overscan compensation for DFP-1. Could someone please tell me how I might do that?
[04:54] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-Aztec, you can add code to /etc/rc.local that setups network interface on startup
[04:54] <pinebei> hi. my cursor keeps switching between two themes. does anyone know how i can stop it from doing this?
[04:55] <carpi> i believe this line should be put in xorg.conf
[04:55] <Harris> bazhang,  when i go to ubuntu not 2d or 3d workspace works
[04:55] <OerHeks> Sach, my bad, need 1 space > touch /forcefcsk
[04:55] <diverdude> My computer  (Lenovo w520) gets extremely hot when using ubuntu. Not when using windows. Is there some problem?
[04:55] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-Aztec, like ifconfig eth1 up, dhclient eth1
[04:55] <Harris> but when i go into 2d it doesnt bazhang
[04:55] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-Aztec, but you would need to configure everything by hand
[04:55] <bazhang> Harris, dont repeat every two seconds. if no one knows that wont get a faster answer
[04:56] <Sach> OerHeks:  it produces  "touch: cannot touch `/forcefcsk': Permission denied"   Do I need to precede the command with "sudo"?
[04:56] <sary> Sach: if as a single user mode  , YES , if as root NO .
[04:56] <carpi> anyone?
[04:57] <CoJaBo-A1tec> K, I think I got it, had to manually set /etc/resolve.conf.. Don't remember having to do that last time..
[04:57] <OerHeks> no need for sudo, AFAIK
[04:57] <blackmatrix_ny> Harris...thanks, atleast some direction was helpful
[04:57] <CoJaBo-A1tec> Can I disable NetworkManager from starting on bootup without uninstalling it?
[04:57] <blackmatrix_ny> Harris...thanks, atleast some direction was helpful
[04:58] <diverdude> My computer  (Lenovo w520) gets extremely hot when using ubuntu. Not when using windows. Is there some problem?
[04:58] <sary> Harris: See , i think the problem is that you still need to learn about the system before going on teaking things in it .
[04:58] <sary> diverdude: Does the fan runs under ubuntu !
[04:58] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-A1tec, you can try wicd instead
[04:59] <diverdude> sary: im not sure
[04:59] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-A1tec, or add the dns servers manually on the network manager so it doesnt tries to get new ones
[04:59] <diverdude> sary: i dont think so
[04:59] <diverdude> sary: how would i start them?
[04:59] <bazhang> jgmdev, installing wicd removed nm last I checked
[04:59] <CoJaBo-A1tec> jgmdev: I stopped it and everything seems to work now; I don't want to uninstall anything, just disable it in case something breaks next boot ands I need it.
[05:00] <sary> diverdude: you boot to Ubuntu and see if the fan run .
[05:00] <pinebei> does anyone know where the cursor theme is stored?
[05:00] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-A1tec, yah disabling network manager should also work
[05:01] <diverdude> sary: i am in ubuntu right now...but i dont know if the noise i hear is the fan
[05:01] <Sach> OerHeks: I ran the command and rebooted.  However, the laptop rebooted as normal without any indication of having done a scan.  Tried to open the file, and same situation.
[05:01] <blackmatrix_ny> ahhhhh now updating caused alt+tab not to work...why is 12.04 so bugyyyy....this really SUCKS
[05:02] <CoJaBo-A1tec> jgmdev: I disabled it, I wanted to stop it loading on boot- i think this is the right way, right? http://www.unixtutorial.org/2009/01/disable-service-startup-in-ubuntu/
[05:02] <blackmatrix_ny> the keyboard was the only thing I had going for me and now that handicap has been added...
[05:02] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-A1tec, sure
[05:03] <CoJaBo-A1tec> dhclient is no longer running, so thats a good sign.. Thanks, I won't know for a few hours if it does it again, but I don't think it can heh..
[05:03] <jgmdev> CoJaBo-A1tec, ahh but remember that now ubuntu uses upstart
[05:03] <blackmatrix_ny> anybody know how to enable touchpad...it was working on the demo but after full install it no longer works
[05:03] <sary> diverdude: try to determine if the fan is running at all under ubuntu .. week ago someone had a similar issue with a different laptop bu he/she did not stated if the fun was running under Ubuntu .
[05:03] <CoJaBo> jgmdev: This is a rather old version, pre upstart
[05:03] <Cerrdor> in the bind9 configuration if my gateway is 10.0.2.x would I change this:    type master;
[05:03] <Cerrdor>    file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa"; to    type master;
[05:03] <Cerrdor>    file "/etc/bind/zones/rev.2.0.10.in-addr.arpa";?
[05:03] <Cerrdor> Oh snappp
[05:04] <Cerrdor> I shoulda pastebin that sorry
[05:04] <linda> while compiling marble package, it throws the following error - dh_makeshlibs: dpkg-gensymbols -plibmarblewidget12 -Idebian/libmarblewidget12.symbols.i386 -Pdebian/libmarblewidget12 returned exit code 1
[05:04] <CoJaBo> jgmdev: I tried updating, but upstart at the time was unbelievably broken, so I rolled back lol...
[05:04] <jgmdev> CoJaBo, there is also rcconf
[05:04] <jgmdev> CoJaBo, rcconf is a cli gui utility to disable/enable services
[05:05] <CoJaBo> As long as its dead, that should be good- I just want to keep it around in case the static config explodes next reboot and I need *something* that can connect me to the net without googling which I wouldn't be able to do :P
[05:06] <blackmatrix_ny> UBUNTU...make that goddam 10.04 link easily findable and stop pushing this fucking buggy 12.04 on our face
[05:06] <jgmdev> usually a ifconfig eth0 up, and dhclient eth0 should get you online :)
[05:06] <bazhang> blackmatrix_ny, no cursing here
[05:06] <CoJaBo> jgmdev: lol.. The thing nearly gave me a heart attack when my ssh shells died tho- 2 solid days to troubleshoot, discover the mobo was bad, then rebuild the whole, and I thought it had crashed O_O
[05:07] <blackmatrix_ny> bazhang, i dont care anymore...Ubuntu is starting to act like fucking windows
[05:07] <CoJaBo> In the middle of which, a pipe burst, causing this emergency to be interrupted by another -_-'
[05:07] <Sach> OerHeks:  any other ideas?
[05:07] <jgmdev> CoJaBo, you should write down does commands I wrote
[05:07] <jgmdev> CoJaBo, in case network manager doesnt works :D
[05:08] <CoJaBo> ifconfig at least I have memorized- use that all the time :P
[05:09] <jgmdev> and dhclient adaptername to automatically get ip info
[05:09] <sary> diverdude: if the fun isn't running , this is bad and dangerous as it might and very likely to damage the cpu and motherboard .
[05:09] <Sach> sary:  The file size is 32kb, so the info is definitely still there, right?
[05:09] <jagginess> sary, /fan/fun
[05:10] <CoJaBo> lol, I have a laptop with a broken fan :/
[05:10] <diverdude> sary: how do i start it
[05:10] <CoJaBo> It gets real hot unless I sit it on its side when i leave it..
[05:11] <sary> jagginess: did i made a ty-po ! :)
[05:11] <sary> diverdude: start what exactly ..
[05:11] <diverdude> sardonyx: the fan
[05:12] <sary> Sach: it should , i hope so ..
[05:12] <jagginess> diverdude, if the fan never turns on-- and you tried different linux live cds too, then it'll be wise to consider finding out why..
[05:13] <night_> oh yes
[05:13] <night_> who can help me
[05:13] <bazhang> night_, ask a real question
[05:13] <CoJaBo> jgmdev: the fun part is trying to get wpa_supplicant working on a USB wifi adaptor with buggy drivers LOL - Very bad when it fails when its controlling a $5,000 robot o_O
[05:14] <sary> diverdude: the fan should run , if not then all i can tink of is to set the proper kernal boot option for it to run.
[05:14] <night_> there is noboday use kubuntu???
[05:14] <bazhang> night_, sure there are. whats the real question
[05:14] <Sach> sary:  I dont know what else to do :(  :(
[05:15] <night_> i can't install input-bar
[05:15] <CoJaBo> night_: I use it on most of mine..
[05:15] <bazhang> night_, how did you try to install it, and from where, what errors did you get, pastebin them
[05:15] <sary> Sach: what was the result of the fsck ..
[05:15] <bazhang> !paste | night_
[05:16] <night_> i install it by software center
[05:16] <Sach> sary: it did the scan on reboot.  once it completed, it prompted me to log in as per usual.  no sign of the results of the fsck.
[05:16] <night_> i don't know what happend
[05:17] <night_> everything looks like well with no error
[05:18] <night_> my english not every well
[05:18] <CoJaBo> night_: If you have trouble with the GUI, theres always apt-get; unfortunately, the Kubuntu gui installer has always tended to suck :/
[05:20] <night_> .....
[05:20] <night_> ok
[05:20] <EliahKagan> Kubuntu can also be installed from the Kubuntu alternate CD, if the GUI installer isn't working well
[05:20] <sary> Sach: ok, i'd try to purge liberoffice , and install it again .. and in the same time file a bug as mentioned in the wiki , also better to ask a support question in askubuntu.com and on launchpad qestions section .
[05:20] <night_> i need luck
[05:20] <arta> how are guyyy
[05:20] <question_guy> hello
[05:20] <_nix_> hey
[05:20] <EliahKagan> hi question_guy
[05:20] <question_guy> :)
[05:20] <question_guy> proud to say im trying to quit my addiction to windows.
[05:20] <killer> hi ...i m trying to compile supertuxkart...but error is there......the mailing list suggested me to upgrade irrlicht to trunk revision 4099...can u help me how to do this in ubuntu
[05:21] <CoJaBo> question_guy: Well, the first step is admitting it :P
[05:21] <question_guy> :D
[05:21] <EliahKagan> killer: is it possible for you to post a link to the relevant post/thread in the mailing list archives?
[05:22] <CoJaBo> I switched to Kubuntu after thw whole Vista fiasco... Never looked back.
[05:22] <sary> Sach: its easy and simple to creat accoutns in both askubuntu.com and launchpad.net
[05:23] <EliahKagan> Sach: indeed -- you can even use your launchpad.net account to authenticate with AskUbuntu.com
[05:23] <CoJaBo> lol, I only have 2 copies of Win XP running, in virtual machines- one to run *just* a printer, the other to run *just* IE6 -_-'
[05:23] <psych> Question all: I have a minimal precise installation with lightdm installed. XBMC is running on top of it and I have it set to put the display to sleep after a few minutes idle. When it comes back, it asks me for a password. How can I disable this?
[05:23] <question_guy> So my whole process has been somewhat incremental. I'm using ubuntu on an external drive and windows on an internal drive. Everytime I install ubuntu. I disconnect my internal drive first. As to not overwrite the mbr. The problem is.... most of the time... I get a grub rescue prompt everytime I do that..
[05:23] <q_> hi
[05:23] <psych> I assume its lightdm asking for a password but I can't seem to tell it to stop
[05:23] <EliahKagan> killer: i ask mainly because 4162 is the latest build of irrlicht and it might be better (and is also easier) to use that if there is no specific reason to use 4099
[05:24] <EliahKagan> hi q_
[05:24] <q_> i am newer to ubuntu
[05:25] <EliahKagan> question_guy: you can configure GRUB2 to not write to the MBR of the first drive -- you can do that config during installation or afterwards (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 or feel free to ask here if that's not helpful enough)
[05:25] <killer> EliahKagan : in the reply i got they specified me not to use the latest one but only to use 4099
[05:25] <sary> Welcome aboard q_ , this is ubuntu support channel .
[05:25] <jgmdev> CoJaBo, I have a usb wifi adapter ralnk I use iwpriv to configure it for exmple: iwpriv ra0 set SSID=networkname etc...
[05:25] <EliahKagan> killer: ah ok
[05:26] <night_> kubuntub is dieing????
[05:26] <CoJaBo> jgmdev: These had terrible support, but I needed to use them cuz the auth was tied to the MAC address..
[05:26] <EliahKagan> well let's see if i can find the svn server
[05:26] <CoJaBo> The other wifi i had didnt support changing its MAC wither
[05:26] <bazhang> night_, no
[05:26] <CoJaBo> either*
[05:26] <question_guy> thank you for the reply Eliah.
[05:26] <jgmdev> CoJaBo, mmm usually wireless adapter drivers suck :D
[05:27] <question_guy> I'll to my best to review that link.
[05:27] <bazhang> night_, if you wish to just chit chat, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:27] <CoJaBo> INDEED -_-'
[05:27] <night_> bazhang: ok thank you

[05:29] <siloxid> hi! how do I determine which version of ubuntu I'm running?
[05:29] <bazhang> !version | siloxid

[05:30] <CoJaBo> Huh. I've always done cat /etc/issue
[05:30] <blackmatrix_ny> bazhang, I followed the rule for the past 4 hours and no ops would even bother to help
[05:30] <bazhang> siloxid, try lspci in terminal
[05:31] <siloxid> thanks
[05:31] <bazhang> blackmatrix_ny, we are volunteers. sometimes answers are forthcoming, sometimes not
[05:34] <sary> blackmatrix_ny: bazhang is acting as a 'catalyst' .. we should all act the same .
[05:34] <blackmatrix_ny> bazhang,  the ubuntu site has next to nothing on how to go about configuring touchpad it keeps on insisting about help on the irc channel...atleast document this shit well so as we can self help

[05:45] <Banan^> hi guys - so after ubuntu 12.04 my raid 1 is lost - I see the raid in the hw controller bios just fine, and I can see the drives using the fdisk command .. I'm guessing I need to mount it or something - any ideas?
[05:46] <curiousx> aloha all :D
[05:46] <kanuha> Does the ATI driver work with 12.04?
[05:47] <blackmatrix_ny> samsug np900x4b
[05:47] <Chuck_Norris> kanuha: ye
[05:47] <Gaybar2000> i need to eat a soap
[05:47] <Chuck_Norris> kanuha: the only thing you have to do is activate it from "Aditional Drivers" that's all
[05:47] <bazhang> Gaybar2000, wrong channel stop
[05:48] <kanuha> Chuck_Norris, do I install the post release version or the other one?
[05:48] <Gaybar2000> sorry bazhang san
[05:48] <Chuck_Norris> kanuha: that way, you will install an already patched driver from canonical
[05:48] <Chuck_Norris> the other one
[05:48] <kanuha> Chuck_Norris, thx I'll give it a go
[05:49] <Chuck_Norris> ok np
[05:49] <xisorshadow> hi i have no sound and need help fixing it
[05:50] <blackmatrix_ny> Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
[05:50] <bazhang> !sound | xisorshadow
[05:50] <xisorshadow> im on lubuntu, so im not sure if that applies to me
[05:50] <xisorshadow> i got next to nothing on here lol :P
[05:50] <bazhang> xisorshadow, sure it does
[05:51] <xisorshadow> looking
[05:52] <xisorshadow> lists 2 devices, i think its trying to use the hdmi rather than the analog
[05:52] <xisorshadow> is there a way to switch it?
[05:53] <xisorshadow> bazhang?
[05:53] <bazhang> xisorshadow, with padevchooser, pavucontrol or what
[05:54] <xisorshadow> it listed both hdmi and analog when i aplay -l it
[05:54] <xisorshadow> how do i make it so it ONLY uses the analog output?
[05:54] <xisorshadow> and never uses hdmi audio?
[05:54] <xisorshadow> i think its using hdmi audio and thats why i have no sound
[05:54] <blackmatrix_ny> egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices
[05:55] <blackmatrix_ny> shit returns nothing
[05:55] <Chuck_Norris> xisorshadow: click on audio icon top right corner
[05:55] <bazhang> blackmatrix_ny, stop cursing. last warning.
[05:55] <blackmatrix_ny> bazhang, what ?
[05:55] <Chuck_Norris> then "Sound Settings"
[05:55] <xisorshadow> i dont have any icons in the top right corner, im not using gnome, not using kde either
[05:55] <bazhang> blackmatrix_ny, no more cursing here. you have been told many times.
[05:55] <xisorshadow> this is lubuntu
[05:56] <Chuck_Norris> oh! mmm... LXDE?
[05:56] <Chuck_Norris> ok
[05:56] <bazhang> xisorshadow, so install those packages
[05:56] <blackmatrix_ny> =kljdf[]
[05:56] <xisorshadow> not 100% sure, this is a custom distro xbmcbuntu, its basically xbmc as the default, with whatever lubuntu uses behind it, boots into xbmc by default
[05:56] <Chuck_Norris> so, we need the command that show up the soud's preferences
[05:56] <xisorshadow> very lightweight
[05:57] <xisorshadow> ok
[05:57] <Banan^> !dk
[05:57] <xisorshadow> 11.04 if that makes much difference
[05:57] <xisorshadow> not 12
[05:57] <blackmatrix_ny> what is the wrong with touchpad
[05:57] <xisorshadow> or 11.10, its not 12.04
[05:57] <bazhang> not really
[05:57] <blackmatrix_ny> no help
[05:57] <blackmatrix_ny> come on
[05:57] <blackmatrix_ny> i need one
[05:57] <FloodBot1> blackmatrix_ny: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:58] <xisorshadow> i have synaptic open, what package did you say i needed?
[06:00] <xisorshadow> yes its LXDE according to the xbmc wiki
[06:00] <killer> hi guys..is there a way to check yahoo mail without browser....
[06:00] <xisorshadow> Chuck_Norris , are you still there?

[06:01] <blackmatrix_ny> FUCK THIS SHIT MAN...kick me out of your party dude, Im not getting served anyways...whatever
[06:03] <Banan^> so after ubuntu upgrade to 12.04 my raid 1 is lost - I see the raid in the hw controller bios just fine, and I can see the drives using the fdisk command .. I'm guessing I need to mount it or something - any ideas?
[06:03] <Gaybar2000> banan well
[06:03] <xisorshadow> chuck_norris , no there are no preferences of any kind that i can find
[06:03] <Gaybar2000> banana do you use mdadm or bios raid?
[06:04] <Chuck_Norris> sry
[06:04] <Chuck_Norris> gotta go
[06:05] <xisorshadow> ok so... im out of luck the
[06:05] <xisorshadow> n
[06:05] <Gaybar2000> is there a basic translator for GWBasic on ubuntu?
[06:05] <Banan^> Gaybar2000: what is mdadm raid?
[06:06] <Gaybar2000> banan a sw raid
[06:06] <Banan^> it's a hardware controller PCI card, two disk attached to it
[06:06] <Gaybar2000> pastebin your fstab
[06:07] <Banan^> uhm .. just lost my vnc connection to the box
[06:07] <Banan^> fstab was an unknown command?
[06:08] <Gaybar2000> fstab is a text file located in /etc/fstab
[06:08] <Gaybar2000> just open a terminal and type cat /etc/fstab copy and paste the content of this file to pastebin
[06:09] <q_> join #ubuntu-cn
[06:10] <xisorshadow> so nobody can help me with my sound? =/
[06:10] <Gaybar2000> xisorshadow: i can help you xisorshadow san
[06:10] <xisorshadow> ok
[06:11] <xisorshadow> im running lxde, and i have no sound, aplay shows both the analog and the hdmi device
[06:11] <Gaybar2000> you have no sound? fascinating
[06:11] <Banan^> Gaybar2000 -- getting a connection refused from my vnc viewer all of a sudden, this suddenly became a project without a monitor =D
[06:11] <xisorshadow> im trying to get sound out of my laptops built in speakers
[06:11] <xisorshadow> and i have no idea what im doing
[06:11] <bazhang> xisorshadow, and the pavucontrol , padevchooser packages? did you install them?
[06:11] <Gaybar2000> banan try to connect with ssh if you can and install x11vnc, then run x11vnc on the ssh shell and connect from your host
[06:12] <xisorshadow> no, i asked which packages and you never replied earlier, getting them now
[06:12] <bazhang> xisorshadow, step one is open terminal and type alsamixer , make sure nothing is muted
[06:12] <bazhang> xisorshadow, you used my nick in your reply?
[06:12] <Banan^> yeah, that'll be another time - thanks for the heads up though, I'll try again later :)
[06:12] <Banan^> have a nice weekend guys
[06:12] <xisorshadow> no... didnt know i had to >.<
[06:13] <bazhang> xisorshadow, like I use your nick everytime?
[06:13] <bazhang> xisorshadow, you dont. but I wont see the message, so your choice
[06:13] <Gaybar2000> xisorshadow: type aplay -L
[06:14] <xisorshadow> bazhang, ok i got pavucontrol, padevchooser isnt a known package according to synaptic
[06:15] <xisorshadow> alsamixer doesnt show anything muted as far as i can see

[06:18] <xisorshadow> bazhang: i was able to get sound using pulse audio to disable the hdmi, let me reboot and see if it sticks :D
[06:18] <Gaybar2000> mr bazhang are you a ubuntu worker?
[06:18] <Gaybar2000> bazhang: because you are like 24/7 here

[06:21] <bazhang> !ot | Gaybar2000
[06:22] <robotdevil> If I use multiple mice and try to set imwheel with it mess up other mice?
[06:25] <thanmustoki> hello anybody can help me?
[06:25] <xisorshadow> bazhang: it works! now to figure out how to make the default environment xbmc instead of lxde again....
[06:25] <xisorshadow> dont suppose you know enough about lxde to help with that?
[06:26] <thanmustoki> tool for converting audio and video like total video converter in ubuntu
[06:26] <bazhang> xisorshadow, choose at login window?
[06:26] <thanmustoki> what its name
[06:26] <xisorshadow> it auto logs me in
[06:26] <bazhang> thanmustoki, handbrake
[06:26] <xisorshadow> bazhang: i need to change that to get to the login window i think?
[06:26] <bazhang> xisorshadow, yep
[06:26] <xisorshadow> bazhang: how?
[06:27] <thanmustoki> oke, thank you bazhang
[06:27] <bazhang> xisorshadow, type your nick, then select from login window
[06:27] <xisorshadow> bazhang: XD im a linux noob, i just needed something uber lightweight for my media center, and windows aint it
[06:27] <xisorshadow> bazhang: how do i get to the login window? it logs me in on its own, the login screen never appears
[06:28] <bazhang> xisorshadow, I'm not familiar enough with lxde on that, perhaps try #lubuntu
[06:29] <xisorshadow> bazhang: ok, thanks
[06:29] <wilee-nilee> xisorshadow, I beleive there is a user accounts in lubuntu as well.
[06:29] <bazhang> users and groups iirc
[06:29] <bazhang> not sure where to access that in lubuntu/lxde though
[06:29] <robotdevil> imwheel keeps crashing
[06:30] <wilx> Hi.
[06:31] <wilx> Is there a package repository with GCC 4.8 packages?
[06:31] <xisorshadow> bazhang: do you know how to make a program run every bootup automatically? if i can do that then i dont need to change the environment, just have xbmc auto run
[06:32] <bazhang> wilx, why would you need that
[06:35] <Guest69146> hi!
[06:40] <bonez2046> I get this error, when trying to print > Idle - "/usr/lib/cups/backend/hp failed"
[06:40] <bonez2046> how can I resolve this?
[06:41] <robotdevil> how to make a program only show on one screen instead of across both (twinview)
[06:41] <robotdevil> when in full screen
[06:50] <flowerpot> I just checked the crontab for every user on my machine - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - no user has a crontab.  Is this for real?  How does Ubuntu do things on a regular basis...?  Is everything being handled by Upstart?
[06:50] <robotdevil> this is a support channel right
[06:50] <[R]> flowerpot: what?
[06:51] <flowerpot> [R], I expected that somewhere, a user would have a crontab to do things on a regular basis, like rotate logs
[06:51] <[R]> robotdevil: irc supports a TOPIC command for a reason...
[06:51] <flowerpot> but not even root has a crontab
[06:51] <[R]> flowerpot: system crons are covered in /etc/crontab
[06:51] <nanobolic> robotdevil, in the system settings click on displays and untick mirror displays
[06:52] <flowerpot> Ohhhh
[06:52] <robotdevil> nanobolic: thanks
[06:53] <robotdevil> nanobolic: now what for kde I have both installed
[06:53] <flowerpot> [R], thanks, I didn't realize.
[06:54] <flowerpot> I see that /etc/crontab exists and has stuff in it.
[06:55] <motherbrain> ok I have reasonly download google chrome os both the usb and virtual machine version of them. I have tried running th vdi HDD image on my virtual box after setting the PAE check box it seems to boot and it looks like is accessing the HDD icon but its not fully loaded . IS 1GB enough to allocate for this ?
[06:55] <Sailorr> http://www.cam4.com/crystalbliss
[06:55] <Sailorr> hot girl
[06:58] <hplar> hi. I'm having a lot of difficulties trying to get my projector to work. Can anyone help?
[06:59] <motherbrain> well I increased and got the same problem i see a few red characters scroll by and then it is a black screen that keeps loading / never changes... Maybe some graphics card setting I have to set specific for chrome os ?
[06:59] <bazhang> Sailorr, dont spam  here
[07:00] <zombifier> bazhang: We do not negotiate with spam
[07:00] <motherbrain> plug it into power :) run the hdmi or vga or whatever cable you use to the computer then go into the display settings that should do it
[07:01] <hplar> i can get the projector to work vista via the usb cable, but it had to load some files from a cd to work. the cd does not contain any files that ubuntu can read.
[07:02] <BlackWeb> with IPTables would anyone know how to make them permanent to where right now then when I reboot my machine then I have to manually load the iptables saved file. how do you make it automatic
[07:03] <[R]> BlackWeb: you should use ufw
[07:03] <motherbrain> so then I would say check for linux drivers downloads on the projectors site or call the guys for help that made it
[07:05] <motherbrain> it may not currently be available use a new linux/ ubuntu distro or update as well you can try
[07:05] <motherbrain> maybe the drivers are in a newer version of ubuntu
[07:05] <motherbrain> builtin
[07:05] <BlackWeb> Alright never heard of it before I'll check it out thanks :)
[07:09] <motherbrain> look in the man pages for iptables I am sure you will beable to find a few exams and what you need to get rid of manual doing it... Or use a gui based tool to do all this behind the scense stuff
[07:09] <motherbrain> there are plenty of them'
[07:10] <motherbrain> unless you are doing something very complex or low level you shouldn't have to touch these iptables directly would think the gui versions would be enough
[07:13] <hplar> thanks for your help.
[07:13] <gapagos> i need help I installed Ubuntu but I lose video when I boot from grub
[07:14] <gapagos> I get no video issues when booting from live cd
[07:14] <gapagos> I don't understand why suddenly i lose all video signal when I boot from grub??
[07:15] <gapagos> anyone there???????????????
[07:16] <Sulaiman> Greetings, I am running windows 7 (64-bit) and want to install ubuntu (64-bit) on my E: drive using the alternative windows installer.
[07:16] <Sulaiman> the ubuntu's installer doesn't give me an option to pick 64-bit ...
[07:17] <zombifier> You must have downloaded the 32 bit image
[07:17] <zombifier> Redownload the 64bit one and you're good
[07:17] <Sulaiman> zombifier, no, I didn't download any iso file
[07:17] <Sulaiman> I just clicked on "Download windows installer"
[07:17] <zombifier> You mean Wubi?
[07:18] <KETCHUP_BOTTLE> AMD64 is listed
[07:18] <gapagos> Sulaiman, it selects 32 bit by default
[07:18] <gapagos> you need to select 64 bit
[07:18] <gapagos> 32 bit is recommended because some drivers do not work in 64 bit
[07:19] <gapagos> i need help I installed Ubuntu and it boots fine from the live cd but I lose video when I boot from grub
[07:19] <gapagos> can anyone help me or should i just give up
[07:19] <gapagos> and remove ubuntu and restore my windows MBR
[07:19] <Sulaiman> zombifier, yes, i meant wubi
[07:19] <KETCHUP_BOTTLE> try Kubuntu, before leaving the ubuntu world
[07:20] <zombifier> Sulaiman, I'm not familiar with Wubi, but it should allow you to choose 64bit
[07:20] <gapagos> Ketchup_Bottle, 1) I don<t like kde; 2- the problem occurs probably before any gui is loaded
[07:20] <zombifier> gapagos: what do you mean by losing video?
[07:20] <sasuke> jbisuwhdfuywshushd
[07:20] <sasuke> \hbcdsbhnjscmsdsdcyuhudsgxuyh
[07:21] <sasuke> dcvdsvcjdb chgdsgak
[07:21] <gapagos> zombiefier, i mean i get no video signal after I order grub to boot ubuntu, and my monitor shuts off as if it was disconnected
[07:21] <unomi> gapagos, what gfx card are you using?
[07:21] <gapagos> there is a quick image tear before it happens so i asusme it;s a driver issue or so
[07:22] <Sulaiman> zombifier, do you recommend that I stick to 32-bit, as gapagos mentioned some drivers don't work with the 64-bit version?
[07:22] <gapagos> its a nvidia 9600 gt
[07:22] <zombifier> Dunno. If you mainboard is AMD64, then go with 64bit
[07:23] <zombifier> If you don't use any foreign graphic card or wireless card then you should be fine
[07:23] <gapagos> the irony is I used to have ubuntu 9.04 and it worked fine
[07:23] <unomi> Sulaiman, there really isn't a huge difference between 32 and 64 in my experience
[07:23] <unomi> gapagos, any chance the install process went awry?
[07:24] <zombifier> In my personal experience, the new nvidia driver (provided with Ubuntu's Additional Driver) is really buggy
[07:24] <bazhang> Sulaiman, there is not such driver issue. use 64 if your hardware supports it
[07:24] <gapagos> unomi, maybe during the grub, it originally said "no such disk" and i couldn't boot any os
[07:25] <unomi> Sulaiman, I was using 32 bit before, using 64 now - haven't really run into any issues, but nor am I feeling any subjective changes
[07:25] <gapagos> I installed and used boot-repair from the live cd to repair it and reinstall grub
[07:25] <Sulaiman> my laptop is using intel i5 64bit, so I will go ahead with the 64bit version
[07:25] <unomi> when you lose video, does the hdd continue to churn / any welcome sounds?
[07:25] <KIMAvcrp> I had a strange problem after installation of ubuntu yesterday after I activated the proprietary drivers ubuntu doesn't recognize my 2nd monitor anymore. I have a gtx250. For now  I stick with the open source driver but does anyone have an idea how this can be resolved
[07:25] <gapagos> unomi thats the only issue i can think of
[07:25] <gapagos> unomi i keep hearing sounds from the HDD, but no welcome chimmie after several mins
[07:27] <gapagos> unomi but eventually it becomes quiet and I just hard-reboot.... also my keyboard still works (at least caps locks does) as I lose video
[07:27] <unomi> If it was me I'd probably just reinstall, if it persisted then look at fiddling from the liveCD environment
[07:27] <gapagos> unomi I just installed for the 1st time
[07:28] <gapagos> the install doesn<t provide any options except reformating partitions or not
[07:28] <unomi> my guess would be that it is either loading something into the kernel that would need to be blacklisted, or not realizing the need to fall back to a more generic driver
[07:29] <gapagos> yeah but what can i try to fix it
[07:29] <unomi> gapagos, the thing is that the grub install issue isn't something that is part of the normal process
[07:30] <unomi> I would personally see if it might not bug out the 2nd time around
[07:30] <gapagos> unomi, if I only use the grub as the live cd intended, it gives me the error "no such disk" when I boot
[07:30] <gapagos> it;s quite scary as I can't boot at all not even in windows or ubuntu
[07:30] <unomi> how many hdds do you have?
[07:31] <gapagos> like 3
[07:31] <gapagos> i think
[07:31] <gapagos> windows and ubuntu are on 2 different ones
[07:31] <unomi> are they stand-alone or RAID?
[07:31] <unomi> ok
[07:31] <gapagos> not sure
[07:31] <unomi> try installing with the others disconnected?
[07:31] <sary> KIMAvcrp: hi , do you happen to have a dual graphic cards .
[07:32] <unomi> I mean, yes, you can probably fix it via the liveCD and fiddling with the right config settings, but I don't have that expertise
[07:32] <gapagos> unomi, if I disconnect the linux one, ill have 2 linux distros on 2 different drives when I connect it back and itll have to reduce my windows partition
[07:32] <unomi> if you want to gain that then google might be a backup-buddy till someone who does is around :)
[07:33] <gapagos> if I disconnect the windows one it wont detect it and wont give me the windows boot option
[07:33] <unomi> no, I mean disconnect all but the one you want to install linux to
[07:33] <gapagos> but i dont want to disconnect the windows one for fear of not being able to boot in windows or having two competing MBRs
[07:34] <unomi> that is an easier issue to fix than fiddling with the unknown
[07:34] <unomi> once you can boot from your hdd with linux and the gfx still hold up
[07:34] <unomi> then the only thing left to do is the grub entry
[07:35] <unomi> ( for the windows entry )
[07:35] <gapagos> i had really bad experiences with corrupted MBRs before
[07:35] <gapagos> im kinda paranoiac nowadays
[07:35] <unomi> I wish I could help you better
[07:35] <gapagos> thx anyway
[07:35] <gapagos> i appreciate it
[07:36] <unomi> well, go exploring :)
[07:36] <unomi> boot from the liveCD and see what you can dig up on grub configumalation
[07:46] <robotdevil> how do you change the boot splash screen in 12.04
[07:47] <robotdevil> is it called usplash?
[07:47] <zombifier> Not anymore. It's plymouth
[07:48] <zombifier> You can download/change plymouth bootscreen using Super Boot Manager
[07:51] <iamtheretoday> looking to install a easy to use mail client . any recommendations ?
[07:51] <ServerCrash> hi :)
[07:52] <zombifier> iamtheretoday: Thunderbird?
[07:53] <iamtheretoday> Does thunderbird have an encryption add on ?
[07:53] <zombifier> There is. Install the package enigmail from the repo
[07:54] <zombifier> It enables GPG encryption
[07:54] <iamtheretoday> great ..Thanks zombifier.....
[08:12] <h74> ciao
[08:12] <h74> !list
[08:13] <barcode> hi
[08:14] <BlackWeb> Hey anyone familiar with NFS & OpenVPN
[08:15] <Orpheon> I need some help, whenever I run a wine game requiring DirectX it gives me an error that it can't find DirectX, and this shows up in .xsession_errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1007764/
[08:16] <Orpheon> following that, compiz crashes
[08:18] <Guest1408> Hey. I'm on a clean 64-bit 12.04 install, and I can't install ia32-libs.
[08:18] <Orpheon> huh
[08:18] <Orpheon> synaptic won't work?
[08:19] <Orpheon> it did for me
[08:19] <Orpheon> at least, it says they are installed
[08:19] <Guest1408> sudo aptitude install ia32-libs   gives me a dependency resolution dialog that suggests not installing any of the packages
[08:20] <Orpheon> "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs"
[08:20] <Orpheon> what happens?
[08:20] <Blackshirt> Guest, update your repos't?
[08:21] <Guest1408> Blackshirt: just updated
[08:21] <Guest1408> Orpheon: .... weird, they're installing
[08:21] <Guest1408> I was under the impression that aptitude was a wrapper over apt-get?
[08:21] <Guest1408> Why would aptitude choose not to install them when apt-get would?
[08:22] <Blackshirt> No...aptitude not wrapper for apt-get
[08:23] <Orpheon> so
[08:23] <Orpheon> anyone have any idea why my wine can't initialize opengl?
[08:23] <Guest1408> Blackshirt: Then what is it? How are they different?
[08:23] <Orpheon> aptitude is older, I think
[08:23] <Orpheon> not sure though
[08:24] <zombifier> aptitude handles dependency better than apt-get
[08:24] <Blackshirt> I think was not
[08:24] <Guest1408> Orpheon: apt is definitely older. I think apt dates back to '86 or something, aptitude is relatively new.
[08:24] <zombifier> aptitude is the superior tool for sysadmins
[08:24] <Blackshirt> I mean, aptitude not older compared to apt-get
[08:25] <[R]> Guest1408: that makes no sense on so many levels
[08:25] <Orpheon> ah ok
[08:25] <Guest1408> zombifier: I tend to preferentially use aptitude, but in this case it was actually refusing to install my packages >.>
[08:25] <Guest1408> [R]: ?
[08:25] <[R]> Guest1408: apt being from 86
[08:25] <zombifier> What error does it give?
[08:25] <Blackshirt> Are you sure for 86? Linux was not created before?
[08:25] <zombifier> It's possible.
[08:25] <Guest1408> Erm. 98
[08:25] <[R]> lol
[08:25] <Guest1408> listen to wikipedia, not my tired brain

[08:33] <Jragon> Hello
[08:34] <wrenny> asdf
[08:35] <Jragon> I'm in need of some help. For some odd reason, I do not know when I boot Ubuntu live it gets stuck on the loading screen with the dots going along the screen. And when I try to boot Windows which I have installed on my hdd it gets past the boot screen but then goes to a black screen with the mouse, and then it restarts. I've no idea what I've done or what I should do... :S
[08:36] <zombifier> Jragon: The LiveCD is slow. Wait for a few minutes.
[08:37] <zombifier> As for the Windows problem, no idea. The LiveCD does not, in anyway possible, modify your system.
[08:37] <Jragon> zombifier: I left it 3 hours with out any luck.
[08:37] <barcode> hi have someone know , why I didn't find menu.lst
[08:37] <zombifier> OK, 3 hours is too much
[08:37] <barcode> on ubuntu 12 LTS
[08:37] <Jragon> I have also tried Linux Mint, with the same problem.
[08:37] <Jragon> Mint 11
[08:37] <mjtowell> Jragon, if you press Esc when you see the dots, you will be shown the boot messages which may be helpful in diagnosing the problem.
[08:37] <barcode> I install Xen-Hypervisor
[08:38] <barcode> on Ubuntu 12 LTS.
[08:38] <kutty> how to create partition ubuntu 12.04 ,any one help me?
[08:38] <barcode> and already update-grub, but nothing change with grub.conf
[08:39] <kutty> how to create partition ubuntu 12.04 ,any one help me?
[08:39] <barcode> xen kernel still not showing
[08:39] <barcode> make it default bro
[08:39] <The_BROS> I found one bug. When I run Virtualbox, applet indicators of programmes crushes. How can I fix it?
[08:40] <kutty> how to create partition ubuntu 12.04 ,any one help me?
[08:40] <Jragon> Okay. It says timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -o /dev/sbd' [461]
[08:40] <mjtowell> kutty, GParted is your friend.
[08:40] <kutty> thanks
[08:41] <n1ckn4me09876543> on Windows OS, when I want to erase a CD-RW disc I just go to My Computer right click disc-drive & click ERASE THIS DISC,  how would I go about doing something similar in linux? erase cd-rw data
[08:44] <barcode> hello, Has someone already install xen-hypervisor on ubuntu ?
[08:44] <barcode> 12 LTS
[08:44] <zombifier> Can you install it?
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> !info xen-hypervisor
[08:45] <zombifier> Actually, xen-hypervisor-4.1-i386 is the correct name
[08:45] <zombifier> or xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64 if 64bit
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> yeah for some reason on my 32bit quantal I am offered xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> logging a bug
[08:46] <Jragon> mjtowell: Any idea as to what I should do?
[08:46] <robotdevil> how come removing quiet and splash from /etc/default/grub still gives me the ugly gray boot splash on kubuntu 12.04
[08:46] <zombifier> Yeah. Precise 32bit here and I see all 2 packages, i386 and amd64
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> robotdevil: do you mean a plain screen?
[08:47] <robotdevil> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=                  is how my grub looks and still a splash screen
[08:47] <barcode> I already install with xen-hypervisor-*, but I didn't find grub
[08:47] <barcode> for choosing xen-kernel
[08:48] <robotdevil> ActionParsnip: no it has a logo and everything
[08:48] <mjtowell> Jragon, not without knowing what your boot messages say. Have a look at what boot message your system hangs on and search Google for that particular boot message with words such as "hangs".
[08:48] <ActionParsnip> robotdevil: can you expandon 'ugly' then please
[08:49] <ActionParsnip> robotdevil: did you run:  sudo update-grub    after editting the file, as well?
[08:50] <robotdevil> ActionParsnip: oops lol
[08:50] <wilee-nilee> robotdevil, did you update grub after removing, or from the boot it was removed
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> haha I sense he didn't run update-grub
[08:51] <wilee-nilee> it happens
[08:51] <Jragon> mjtowell: Hmm.. It only comes up with a result. timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -o /dev/sbd' [461]
[08:51]  * ActionParsnip warms up a facepalm for robotdevil
[08:51] <wilee-nilee> lol
[08:51] <zombifier> :)
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> even says it on the top line of the file as a handy reminder :)
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> head -n 1 /etc/default/grub
[08:53] <alankila> if debian could get rid of its habit of generating the actually used config files I would be so much happier
[08:53] <zombifier> ?
[08:53] <alankila> grub2 is pretty smart, but apparently not smart enough to do the work at boot-up time to discover what operating systems are there, or to read auxiliary config files like /etc/default/grub.
[08:54] <mjtowell> Jragon, are you using the latest Ubuntu live CD?
[08:54] <ActionParsnip> alankila: that's what os-prober is for
[08:54] <alankila> every update-foo program is imho a bug. But perhaps update-initramfs and update-grub are the sort of things that are too hard to fix
[08:54] <Jragon> mjtowell: no
[08:54] <Jragon> mjtowell: I'll download it now and burn it.
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> Jragon: remember to MD5 test :)
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> robotdevil: better?
[08:55] <Jragon> ActionParsnip: How would I do that?
[08:55] <mjtowell> Jragon, I think that trying the latest live CD is good idea :) Good luck.
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | Jragon
[09:01] <ActionParsnip> quiet today
[09:05] <krababbel> hey hey!, hot weather here, and mondey off for everyone
[09:05] <belyle> Allo folks
[09:07] <robotdevil> ActionParsnip: no how do I do logout or does that cover it?
[09:07] <robotdevil> now*
[09:08] <ActionParsnip> robotdevil: do you mean from the desktop session?
[09:08] <robotdevil> sorry reboot or restart or shutdown
[09:08] <belyle> I was hoping you guys could help to break my mental block ... I've never before configured a mail or web server in my life, and for shits and giggles I registered a domain to play around with.  In South Africa we have DSL with dynamic IP's, so I would like to know if anyone can explain to me how I get the mail to delivered to my server and then how to get the mail to me and my mates
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> robotdevil: can run:  sudo shutdown -r now      and it will reboot, if that's what you mean?
[09:09] <robotdevil> ActionParsnip: I mean to see verbose, not a splash
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> robotdevil: try pressing ESC during boot, plymouth should hide and you can watch the boot, the same text is present in:    dmesg | less     if the system boots fully
[09:11] <KETCHUP_BOTTLE> belyle, your email service will need to allow you to access your email.  Then you just sign into it through a program.
[09:11] <ebe_dh> Hi to everyone
[09:14] <belyle> Ok, as I mentioned we have DSL with dynamic IP's, so I registered a DynDNS account, obviously I will have to configure something on the 12.04 (a client of sorts) ... so do I then ask DynDNS to keep the mail intended for the domain "rubinconza.dyndns.org" with them, then A) push it down to the my box, or B) Set a program up to retrieve the mail from them?
[09:14] <schreber> Does anyone know how to change the icon theme on 12.04 while running Cinnamon?
[09:16] <zombifier> schreber: Dunno if Ubuntu Tweak will do the trick, since Cinnamon is a GNOME Shell port
[09:16] <ebe_dh> i am a absolutely newcommer and need some help to bring V12.04 onto my old PC. Every try to install it from cdrom fails at the end with "Unrecovarable Error" and dies (allmost)
[09:16] <schreber> zombifier: I was thinking that might be the trick but thought best to ask before attempting.
[09:16] <KETCHUP_BOTTLE> ebe_dh, laptop or desktop?
[09:17] <belyle> ebe_dh, how far into the installation does it bomb?
[09:17] <schreber> Another odd question I like the theme kfaenza as opposed to the standard, if you want to call it that, faenza theme is there anyway to get it to work under gnome/cinnamon?
[09:17] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, hi buddy i need ur help about my wireless card. every time i start my laptop, to enable my wireless card i need to pass a command in terminal i.e. sudo modprob b43. can you please let me know how to avoid this
[09:17] <ebe_dh> it is Desktop and the install runs allmost to the end...
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> Wishing_Master: echo "b43" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null
[09:18] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, what will this do?
[09:18] <belyle> ebe_dh, if I can make a suggestion, try installing without selecting any of the Servers apart from SSH
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> schreber: cinnamon isn't supported here
[09:19] <ActionParsnip> Wishing_Master: add the word 'b43' to the /etc/modules file, it will then be loaded at boot
[09:20] <schreber> ActionParsnip: I suppose there is a #cinnamon for such things then, right?
[09:21] <ActionParsnip> schreber: perhaps, or you could join the mint channel, they use cinnamon
[09:21] <ebe_dh> belyle, how does it work
[09:22]  * kecer hi
[09:23] <belyle> I'm a ubuntu nub myself, but from what I've seen (this morning @ 03:00) near the end of the installation it asks you which servers you want to install, I de-selected everything apart from the OpenSSH server ... did you get to that part?
[09:23] <belyle> and, to answer your question, the OpenSSH will make it possible for you to use putty and ssh into the box (if you are a skint South African like me and dont have a screen for you box) :D
[09:25] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, i have added the b43 module in the modules file, i am going to reboot now to check, thanks to you in advance.
[09:25] <ebe_dh> belyle: No sofar i didnt com! The setup works pretty long on HD, ask some questions, latest for my picture...then brings error message
[09:27] <belyle> oh crap, sorry mate, I was on about 12.04 server not desktop
[09:27] <belyle> sorry
[09:28] <belyle> Won't be able to help you on Desktop, mine installed A-OK first time around
[09:28] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, i have rebooted and it works gr8
[09:28] <ebe_dh> the last error is "/usr/bin/ubiquti-dm"
[09:28] <belyle> weebee Wishing_Master, did it work?
[09:28] <belyle> awesome :)
[09:28] <belyle> Did you try and google the output ebe_dh ?
[09:29] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, there was another entry in modules files i.e. ls
[09:29] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, whats that for?
[09:30] <ebe_dh> belyle: yes i posted the report as recomendet.
[09:30] <belyle> I'm looking around too quickly
[09:34] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, there was another entry in modules files i.e. ls                                     ActionParsnip, whats that for?
[09:35] <DragonSlay> what is 12.4% contiguous in linux
[09:35] <DragonSlay> linux filesystem *
[09:35] <satop1> how to share my  usb-modem  3g mobile broadband trough wifi with my android phone ?
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> Wishing_Master: if there are other moduls mentioned, that's fine
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> Wishing_Master: those modules will also be loaded at boot
[09:36] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, whats is ls  for?
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> !ics | satop1
[09:36] <kecer> $help
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> Wishing_Master: no idea, it's a module
[09:36]  * kecer don't need help
[09:37] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, okay
[09:37] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, thanks bro
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> Wishing_Master: np :)
[09:37] <hid> hi I'm using xcaliber to calibrate the screen on my laptop but I can't find a good configuration. Can you help me ?
[09:38] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, emoticons don't work here. thats sad
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> Wishing_Master: depends on the client
[09:38] <satop1> actionparsnip i am looking into it TY
[09:38]  * kecer nah
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> Wishing_Master: works fine here in Pidgin
[09:38] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, i am using xchat
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> Wishing_Master: that's why then
[09:38] <Wishing_Master> ActionParsnip, uh?
[09:38] <hid> There's always too much luminosity and colors are wrong
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> Wishing_Master: I use Pidgin for IRC when I am home
[09:39]  * kecer .
[09:39]  * kecer nah
[09:39] <zombifier> XChat does not have emotes. If I remembered correctly, there's a plugin somewhere
[09:40] <Wishing_Master> zombifier, yeah u r right,they don't work in xchat
[09:40] <Jragon> Okay. WEll I'm now booting 12. It seems to still be on the loading dots... When I click escape it says timeout: killing '/sbin/blkid -o udev -p /dev/sdb1' [496]
[09:40] <belyle> ActionParsnip, could I run postfix as a "Internet Site" if I have a dynamic IP address linked to a country domain like rubiconza.co.za (I want my server to pull mail from my ISP in this case, Web-Africa) or do I have to chose "Internet with smarthost" ?
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> belyle: not sure, never set anything like that up before
[09:41] <systemu> botched an ecryptfs disabling
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> Jragon: what GPU do you use. It's also 12.04, not 12
[09:41] <systemu> i now only have a .Private directory
[09:41] <systemu> in my $HOME
[09:41] <morko> is there some reason i should install lamp with tasksel rather than with apt-get if it is possible to install it with apt-get install lamp-server^ ?
[09:41] <systemu> any way i can recover that
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> systemu: backups will save the day
[09:42] <systemu> ActionParsnip, <_<
[09:42] <systemu> i do have soe
[09:42] <systemu> some
[09:42] <systemu> any other way?
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> systemu: possibly https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[09:43] <systemu> the .Private dir is pretty huge
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> encryptfs is too much of a headache
[09:43] <Jragon> ActionParsnip: I'm using the GT 440
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> Jragon: add the boot  option:  nouvea.blacklist=1
[09:44] <systemu> ActionParsnip, i really wish i knew that when i was offered that on install
[09:44] <Jragon> ActionParsnip: How would I do that?
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> morko: not sure why tbh, I guess you could do it with apt-get
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> Jragon: hold shift at boot, press E to (e)dit the boot and add it on the same line as:  quiet splash
[09:45] <pungi-man> can anyone tell me how to get a static IP for my server??
[09:46] <mf|laptop> What do you mean by Static IP? Internet one that can be accessed anywhere in the world or local IP? like <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:46] <morko> ActionParsnip, thank you. i will use apt-get then. i don't understand why the community documentation tells you to install tasksel first.
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> pungi-man: you can contact your provider. Alternatively you can get a dydns / noip account then the a name can be used and the IP will be mooted
[09:47] <belyle> pungi-man, public static or local static (on your machine self) - if on your machine self then try checking out the file /etc/network/interfaces
