[00:00] <trism> ozzloy: f3-f4 does forward/back a window https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Byobu#Key_Bindings
[00:02] <ozzloy> trism, not quite what i want, when i do that, i lose the split
[00:03] <ozzloy> trism, the next window doesn't have a split in it.  i want to change what's in the lower half, display the shell i was working on from another window
[00:03] <ozzloy> trism, thanks though
[00:05] <bull3trulz> ok i need help i install a dockbarx applet for xfce panel andit is not in there
[00:06] <ozzloy> aha, ctrl-[f3|f4] is what i want... kinda
[00:07] <ozzloy> no, no it isn't
[00:08] <dward> my wireless card needs to be manually loaded on boot. i've been messing with my initramfs but just changing locations of things not configurations, could i have done something wrong?
[00:10] <dward> vague i know, but my question is, does initramfs tell what modules the kernel should load, or does that happen after the temporary ram kernel is loaded?
[00:10] <dr_willis> bull3trulz:  tried the dockbarx  ppa? or is that feature just not in the ppa?
[00:10] <bull3trulz> dr_willis, https://plus.google.com/110582468951930692841/posts/KogHZaufjc8
[00:11] <dr_willis> bull3trulz: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/new-look-dockbarx-hits-ppa
[00:11] <dr_willis> if you enable the ppa. you could use the build-deps option of apt-get to pull in all needed developer dependencies
[00:11] <dr_willis> to make it easier to compile
[00:12] <bull3trulz> dr_willis, no i have dockbarx installed but the plugin is what i had to compile i did make install and stuff nut it is not there when i choose add new item to the panel
[00:13] <OerHeks> bull3trulz, restart the panel, or logout/login could help
[00:13] <trism> ozzloy: looks like in tmux you need to do something like break-pane, join-pane: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14300/tmux-move-window-to-pane
[00:13] <bull3trulz> OerHeks, tried even restarted didnt work
[00:16] <on3453v3n> hello , how i can hide a hotspot
[00:16] <ozzloy> tmux?
[00:16] <ozzloy> when did byobu start defaulting to tmux?
[00:17] <ozzloy> trism, also, thanks again for looking into that
[00:19] <Ziber> I know I can use @monthly for a cronjob, but how would I do that with syntax?
[00:20] <jrib> Ziber: man 5 crontab explains
[00:21] <on3453v3n> is posibl to hide a hotspot?
[00:22] <Ziber> jrib: 0 0 * */1 * /path/to/command?
[00:33] <sarnold> what's the new way to do this? gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences auto-raise false
[00:34] <egc> blah
[00:36] <kirkland> ozzloy: with the byobu 5.x series, which is in 12.04
[00:37] <histo> Don't really understand why people are so hungup on byobu vs screen. Screen is tried and true and just works
[00:39]  * rob_p is a screen fan...
[00:39] <ozzloy> histo, i'm hung up on it currently because tmux doesn't work like i'm used to
[00:39] <ozzloy> it seems like the major drive behind tmux is "i want screen but i don't like GNU"
[00:40] <dr_willis> cant say ive had amy issues with  screen. tmux. or bybu
[00:40] <kirkland> tmux is far more elegantly designed
[00:40] <sarnold> ozzloy: probably code simplification is the larger drive; screen does a lot of things no one needs it to do any more (serial support! wow)
[00:40] <dr_willis> someone had a screen bug the other day in here i recall..
[00:40] <kirkland> nothing against screen, but that code base is 25+ years old, and basically unmaintained
[00:41] <kirkland> tmux is modern, fresh, and very, very clean, with an active maintainer
[00:41] <histo> kirkland: yeah ls is old also we should just get rid of that
[00:41] <erythrean> I'm trying to install kubuntu onto my mac 10.4. I tried both the 32-bit and the mac iso's but the computer won't boot into either when I hold down C at startup.
[00:41] <kirkland> ozzloy: here's the announcement moving byobu from screen -> tmux as a default: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/12/byobu-5-released.html
[00:41] <dr_willis> i miss "twin" .. its not even in the repos any more.
[00:42] <kirkland> histo: that's textbook trolling :-)
[00:42] <bekks> kirkland: So is screen. It is support by major distributors, behaves the same across various implementations, etc.
[00:42] <bekks> *supported
[00:42] <fhf> erythrean: 10.04 is too old go get 12.04
[00:43] <sarnold> fhf: I think the "10.4" identifies the mac..
[00:43] <bekks> fhf: Thats not true. 10.04 is LTS, 12.04 is LTS, and the LTS update is supported.
[00:43] <kirkland> bekks: that's arguable, from my perspective, having maintained the screen package in Ubuntu...  12.04's screen contains 48 patches with 20,000 lines of diff's
[00:43] <fhf> sarnold: didnt used mac so i dont know.
[00:43] <kirkland> bekks: because upstream screen hasn't released in 5+ years
[00:43] <sarnold> bekks: heh, I think because the distros are tired of all the wonky code in screen is part of the reason why tmux is so popular -- it does so much less than screen...
[00:44] <kirkland> bekks: it is "supported" (ie, I'm one of the people providing that support), and in my opinion, it's basically unsupportable going forward, when there is a viable alternative (tmux)
[00:44] <bekks> kirkland: Well, even without a "current upstream" - it is a pretty well supported software on various platforms, whilst tmux e.g. isnt.
[00:46] <leptone> following this for 64 bit
[00:46] <leptone> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/11/connecting-to-your-apple-time-capsule-in-ubuntu
[00:46] <leptone> seeing this:http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612394/
[00:47] <sarnold> leptone: tar xf afpfs...
[00:47] <sarnold> leptone: z says 'gzip', but you've got a bz2 file there -- that'd be j. But tar autodetects compression type these days and you can leave it off entirely. :)
[00:49] <leptone> sarnold, thx.
[00:50] <leptone> seeing this at the next step...http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612399/
[00:50] <sarnold> leptone: hahaha, that looks like an em-dash rather than two hyphens
[00:51] <sarnold> leptone: are you copy-psating from a wordpress blaahg? iirc those _destroy_ punctuation marks like - and ' and " and so forth.
[00:51] <sarnold> leptone: anyway, that'd be ./configure --prefix=/usr
[00:51] <leptone> sarnold, ok silly me. thx!
[00:51] <sarnold> leptone: you don't stand a chance when working with wordpress blogs. :)
[00:57] <userUbu0804> Hi, does anyone know how can I run Xubuntu from a USB stick ?
[00:59] <Nothing_Much> How do I re enable Unity 3D from LLVMPIPE?
[01:04] <ozzloy> kirkland, oh, that's good that it's motivated by something other than "durr GPL is viral hurr"
[01:04] <ozzloy> kirkland, i like living in this world better than the world i thought i lived in
[01:04] <ozzloy> kirkland, (re: tmux v screen)
[01:05] <ozzloy> i got called away for a bit
[01:05] <histo> !usb | user
[01:06] <ozzloy> kirkland, thanks for doing the support, btw.  that's cool that i got to talk directly to you
[01:06] <kirkland> ozzloy: no problem, cheers
[01:07] <kirkland> ozzloy: byobu, fwiw, is GPLv3
[01:07] <ozzloy> yeah, i noticed that
[01:07] <ozzloy> so i figured that wasn't byobu's motivation
[01:08] <kirkland> ozzloy: not at all;  I've been trying to "fix" some broken parts of screen for years;  had nearly given up until I learned about tmux
[01:08] <ozzloy> are the people in charge of screen just too busy with other stuff or ... what's going on there?
[01:09] <|Anthony|> what's the issue with screen ozzloy
[01:09] <pragmaticenigma> it's quite possible that the people in charge don't feel there are any improvements to be made?
[01:11] <ozzloy> |Anthony|, i'm not sure.  possibly what pragmaticenigma said
[01:12] <ozzloy> (i'm really not the right person, but here's my understanding) byobu wants to do stuff that isn't currently possible with screen.  byobu's people tried to improve screen, but got nowhere.  tmux does what the byobu people want, so byobu's using tmux
[01:13] <kirkland> ozzloy: but byobu still supports screen too :-)
[01:13] <sku11knight> hey guys, I'm running 12.04. Anybody know how to remove the gray bar on the top of the screen?
[01:13] <skypce> hello people
[01:14] <sam113101> hi
[01:14] <skypce> i have a problem with my ubuntu 12.04 , laggy mouse , only works fine with acpi=off or nosmp in grub
[01:14] <skypce> the laggy mouse is when the pc has inactivity and back to use
[01:14] <skypce> i have a compaq cq 56 126la
[01:15] <ozzloy> kirkland, oh, but the default was changed to tmux.  i thought it was changed to tmux because of some feature lacking in screen
[01:15] <ozzloy> is that not the case?
[01:16] <kirkland> ozzloy: you can run either byobu-screen or byobu-tmux or just "byobu"
[01:16] <ozzloy> it's more that screen hasn't had a release in forever?
[01:16] <kirkland> ozzloy: if you run byobu-screen, you end up in byobu, but with screen running in the background
[01:16] <kirkland> ozzloy: if you run byobu-tmux, you run with tmux running in the background
[01:16] <ozzloy> yeah, i get that
[01:16] <ozzloy> i can switch between the two.  yes.
[01:16] <kirkland> ozzloy: if you just run byobu, you run the backend that is selected using byobu-select-backend
[01:16] <kirkland> ozzloy: okay
[01:17] <sku11knight> any ideas re my question about top gray bar
[01:18] <ozzloy> sku11knight, you might have luck with unity configuration settings?
[01:18] <sku11knight> ozzloy: I was able to go through config settings to remove the launcher but the top gray bar is a mystery.
[01:19] <ozzloy> sku11knight, that top bar is part of "unity" and there are configurations for it, but there are also unity configurers you can get in addition to default ubuntu's unity configurator
[01:19] <dr_willis> !find twin
[01:19] <dr_willis> Hmm.. seems twin still is not in the repos. ;(    http://sourceforge.net/projects/twin/   sort of a neat alternative to screen/tmux
[01:20] <dr_willis> bbl
[01:20] <ozzloy> kirkland, the motivation for switching to tmux as default was the difference in development activity between tmux and screen, right?
[01:21] <ozzloy> (i just read that blog post)
[01:21] <kirkland> ozzloy: right
[01:21] <kirkland> ozzloy: 12.04 is an lts, which means that its supported until 2017
[01:21] <ozzloy> no specific feature, but reason to believe that maybe someday there will be
[01:21] <ozzloy> dang
[01:21] <kirkland> ozzloy: well, I have a slew of features that byobu uses in tmux which aren't available in screen
[01:21] <ozzloy> that's a long time
[01:22] <ozzloy> oh?  like what?
[01:22] <kirkland> ozzloy: if you're in byobu-tmux, press shift-f2, and then ctrl-f2;  and then press shift-up/down/left/right
[01:22] <kirkland> ozzloy: splitting kinda sucks in screen, and it's never going to get any better
[01:23] <leptone> sarnold, is there a way i can make it mount automatically all the time with out opening the terminal?
[01:23] <ozzloy> kirkland, ah
[01:24] <ozzloy> kirkland, this splitting and moving between splits i do all the time in screen.  is the problem that you can't give it those shortcuts?
[01:24] <ozzloy> er... keybindings?
[01:24] <kirkland> ozzloy: nope;  the same shortcuts should work in byobu-screen too
[01:24] <ozzloy> i've never tried
[01:24] <kirkland> ozzloy: but the problem is that each split in screen isn't really a new shell
[01:25] <kirkland> its just another view of an existing shell
[01:25] <ozzloy> hah, that's actually why i first came in here
[01:25] <ozzloy> i was kinda annoyed at that
[01:26] <kirkland> ozzloy: well there you go :-)  me too
[01:26] <ozzloy> er... the other way around
[01:26] <ozzloy> possibly because i'm used to the way screen does it
[01:27] <ozzloy> more importantly, i wanted to change the session displayed in one half of the split
[01:28] <ozzloy> thanks again.  this is cool talking directly to you
[01:29] <ozzloy>  is that unicode?
[01:29] <limac> how can i check the usb device names...like the /dev/ttyUSB0 etc? what command?
[01:30] <ozzloy> limac, maybe: ls /dev/tty*|grep USB
[01:30] <ozzloy> not quite sure what you mean by "check the usb device names"
[01:31] <limac> ozzloy: for instance i have something connected to /dev/ttyACM0 but i can't find that in /dev/
[01:32] <ozzloy> limac, is it an arduino?
[01:32] <limac> yes
[01:32] <ozzloy> limac, idk, not sure how to hlep
[01:32] <ozzloy> help*
[01:32] <ozzloy> cool!
[01:32] <limac> no problem, thanks for you time!
[01:32] <ozzloy> my arduino sometimes gets crazy with power
[01:33] <limac> what do you mean?
[01:33] <ozzloy> so i have to disconnect and reconnect and that seems to work
[01:33] <ozzloy> it goes down and back up because the power to it isn't solid
[01:33] <limac> hmm...as in you don't get power in the arduino?
[01:33] <ozzloy> yeah
[01:33] <ozzloy> not sure exactly what causes it
[01:34] <iIlL10Oo> what is metacity's compositing manager , can I disable it ?
[01:34] <limac> ozzloy: that's an odd problem...i have never encountered it. not sure what's wrong.
[01:35] <limac> did it detect the correct serial port?
[01:35] <ozzloy> yeah, i can connect to it, see feedback from the arduino, but sometimes it just dies
[01:36] <alexis> hello
[01:36] <Guest6109> alguien de chile
[01:37] <expoo> ello
[01:37] <limac> ozzloy: i'm not sure what could be the problem then
[01:37] <Guest6109> hello expoo
[01:37] <Guest6109> que tal
[01:37] <expoo> does anyone know how to silence the /whois
[01:37] <expoo> for oneself
[01:38] <expoo> i tried the "/mode +i"
[01:38] <ozzloy> limac, me neither.  i'm still not too familiar with hardware.  it's scary to me
[01:39] <limac> ozzloy: lol, i'm trying to hack a hardware here...
[01:42] <shadowgun> limac: what hardware?
[01:42] <limac> shadowgun: a toy robotic arm so that i can fully control it over serial port + arduino
[01:43] <limac> well actually over my web server -> serial port -> arduino
[01:43] <shadowgun> iirc, arduino is the i/o board of raspberry pi
[01:43] <bcbc2> away not here
[01:43] <limac> but i want to add the xbee wireless modules...so i need to figure out the serial communication business
[01:44] <limac> isn't arduino and raspberry pi unrelated? i thought arduino was a separate thing of its own
[01:45] <shadowgun> they always appear together
[01:46] <shadowgun> i will buy korean arm development borads, because raspberry pi is too slow for me
[01:47] <shadowgun> there are many raspberry pi + arduino tutorial videos on utube
[01:47] <fuhreal> Anyone running an Nvidia card with Nvidia binary drivers?  For some reason my resolution is stuck at 640x480 when i hit the login screen but if i enter a shell (CTRL+ALT+F1) it is the correct res.
[01:57] <MoPac> So I'm trying to disable global menubar integration in LibreOffice 4.0 without having to remove all of libreoffice-gtk just to do it.  Could someone point me to where program-specific GTK files would be sotred so I could look at selectively deleting?
[01:58] <fuhreal> \part
[01:58] <fuhreal> oops
[01:58] <fuhreal> hehe
[02:00] <ksanchez> chez
[02:01] <acovrig> can I log rsync transactions (via ssh) as a server?
[02:02] <Oris> Anyone familiar with GeoPHP/GEOS?  I just compiled and installed GEOS, but Drupal status report still says GEOS was not found.
[02:06] <kirkland> ozzloy: yep, tmux supports unicode and utf-8 in the status bar, screen does not
[02:06] <acovrig> I know I can log sftp transfers by adding '-l VERBOSE' to my 'Subsystem sftp' line, how do I do that for rsync?
[02:06] <kirkland> ozzloy: that was actually the patch I was working on screen, when I discovered that another screen user, years ago, had submitted a patch to screen to add unicode/utf8 support in the status bar
[02:06] <kirkland> ozzloy: and that patch had been ignored for ~4 years
[02:07] <kirkland> ozzloy: it was at that point that I had realized that new changes to screen simply weren't ever going to happen
[02:09] <seumas> :)
[02:10] <sku11knight> hey guys, whats the best way to auto start a bash script on boot?
[02:11] <dr_willis> sku11knight:  what is the script doing?
[02:11] <sku11knight> starting some node servers
[02:11] <dr_willis> one way - /etc/rc.local sku11knight
[02:12] <dr_willis> you may wan t to look  into upstart and make an actual service to  do  the job
[02:12] <sku11knight> that's what my brother said, but i was unable to find where upstart was exactly
[02:12] <dr_willis> !upstart
[02:13] <dr_willis> look at the 'upstart cookbook'     b ut for a simple case.. rc.local shold work fine
[02:14] <ozzloy> kirkland, woow, that's a long time.  now i don't feel so bad about some of my projects
[02:15] <sku11knight> dr_willis : can I just write a .conf file to just do an exec?
[02:15] <sku11knight> i mean, just that one line?

[02:17] <wildstrangething> I have my website files located at /var/www/mywebsite and some files at /var/www/photos. I want to disable ext4 journaling on that partition. Is it advisable to disable journaling for my main website files too?
[02:19] <wildstrangething> Hey guys, heres a question: I have /var/www/mywebsite and /var/www/media on the same ext4 filesystem. Daily deletion of many tiny files at /var/www/media seems very slow and hogs my IO!! I want to disable ext4 journaling for the filesystem, is it advisable to disable journaling for the main website files at /var/www/laravel too?
[02:23] <miroesq> i'm installing a package that really has no clear directions. it is saying that a requirement for all flavors of linux is kernel-devel, but I do not see that for Ubuntu only redhat. is that correct or am I off?
[02:26] <dr_willis> miroesq:  theres the kernel -headers package on ubuntu that some things need.
[02:27] <dr_willis> miroesq:  what are you instggalling exactly?
[02:27] <miroesq> sangoma wanpipe drivers and freetdm then later FreeSWITCH. thanks for the info
[02:27] <prik> hello good morning
[02:27] <dr_willis> never heard of any of them. You might want to check  the askubuntu.com site
[02:28] <Splendor> Does anyone have any experience with Ubuntu on an ARM Chromebook?
[02:28] <miroesq> dr_willis: thank you
[02:28] <dr_willis> Splendor:  theres #ubuntu-arm that may  have some people if no one  here does.
[02:28] <prik> jhjh
[02:28] <Splendor> dr_willis: thanks!
[02:29] <usr13> wildstrangething: no
[02:29] <wildstrangething> usr13: why is that so
[02:36] <nonuby> will there be a clean path to upgrade from 13.04b1 to 13.04rtm? (is that how it was with 12.04 etc..) or is it pave/format time at these junctions?
[02:37] <usr13> wildstrangething: Because it's just not necessary, IMO.
[02:37] <somsip> !13.04 | nonuby
[02:37] <usr13> wildstrangething: I don't see any advantage in doing it.
[02:40] <Aliengel> Hi, is there a function that restore the windows session i opened after i reboot the PC? 12.10
[02:41] <alexandros_c> hello I need some help my computer tried to install kernel 3.5.0-26-generic but it failed and now I can'r install installed anything because it tries to reinstall that kernel everytime. Any suggestion on how to get rid of the improperly install kernel.
[02:43] <usr13> alexandros_c: sudo apt-get -f
[02:43] <wildstrangething> usr13: will setting data=writeback for ext4 make deletes of many 25KB files much faster?
[02:44] <wildstrangething> right now journalling is hogging my IO completely and my server slows to a crawl
[02:46] <dr_willis> i thought journalling  reduced that.. because it  put a bunch of little writes into a big write.. ;)
[02:46] <usr13> wildstrangething: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt
[02:47] <alexandros_c> usr13,  that is not working it is just printing the help menu
[02:47] <usr13> alexandros_c: sudo apt-get install -f
[02:49] <alexandros_c> usr13,  the install is still failing, is there a way to remove it?
[02:49] <veryhappy> hi guys i need your help on the NetworkManager, it says: wired network not managed but i can only get it running if i edit the file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and set [ifupdown] to managed=true, but then i have 2 interfaces in my list: ifupdown and my wired network connection but i only want to have my wired network connection, if i change the file again it's disabled again, i...
[02:49] <veryhappy> ...only want to have my wired interface in my list, what can i do?
[02:50] <usr13> alexandros_c: Yes, as long as it's not the one your booting to now.  uname -a  #See which one it is your booting to now.
[02:50] <alexandros_c> no it is not
[02:50] <alexandros_c> it never reached that part of the install
[02:50] <usr13> alexandros_c: Sure, just apt-get remove it
[02:51] <usr13> alexandros_c: But, why did it fail?  Which kernel is it?
[02:51] <usr13> alexandros_c: What version of ubuntu do you have installed?
[02:51] <alexandros_c> lubuntu
[02:51] <alexandros_c> 12.10
[02:52] <alexandros_c> 3.5.0-26
[02:52] <alexandros_c> my current kernel is 3.5.0-25
[02:52] <usr13> alexandros_c: You can remove any kernel you want, as long as you have a working one to boot to.
[02:53] <alexandros_c> usr13, apt-get remove fails
[02:53] <usr13> alexandros_c: What is the error?
[02:53] <usr13> alexandros_c: pastebinit
[02:53] <alexandros_c> it is saying it can't locate the package
[02:54] <usr13> alexandros_c: What command did you use?
[02:55] <wildstrangething> usr13: When deleting many small files, Im getting 99% IO usage: http://i.stack.imgur.com/PmQUL.png
[02:56] <wildstrangething> jdb2 seems to be hogging all the IO
[02:56] <veryhappy> please anyone help me with my NetworkManager, thanks.
[02:57] <usr13> wildstrangething: Maybe your out of inodes?
[02:58] <wildstrangething> usr13: inode usage is 7%
[02:58] <wildstrangething> on that filesystem
[02:58] <wildstrangething> under 12% for every filesystem
[02:58] <usr13> so you compared df to df -i ?
[02:58] <wildstrangething> yup
[02:59] <Hyperiant> Modprobe is denying that I have fglrx installed, but apt-get says i have newest version; how do I get Ubuntu to see and use fglrx?
[02:59] <usr13> alexandros_c: Give me the exact command you used?
[02:59] <wildstrangething> usr13: http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZKrLh.png
[03:00] <usr13> wildstrangething: I wonder if it's a hardware issue?
[03:00] <danman1453> Is there some way to turn off the cursor sticking when scrolling from screen to screen on a multihead server?
[03:01] <Hyperiant> danman1453: disable xinerama
[03:01] <usr13> wildstrangething: What kind of drive is it?
[03:01] <danman1453> I am using twinview
[03:02] <alexandros_c> usr13, sudo apt-get remove linux-image-3.5.0-26-generic linux-image-generic linux-image-extra-3.5.0-26-generic
[03:02] <danman1453> Xinerama is disabled.
[03:02] <Hyperiant> danman1453: turn off display snap under system settings -> display
[03:04] <danman1453> Hmmm.... didnt see that, i will have to look. Thanks. But, ubuntu only sees one screen. Its a dual head card. Would the option still be there?
[03:04] <dr_willis> twinview is basically xinerama+extra stuff. ;)
[03:04] <alexandros_c> usr13, the error is reading files list for package  'linux-image-3.5.0-26-generic' Input/ouput error dpkg return error code (2)
[03:04] <usr13> alexandros_c:  ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image*list  #See what kernels you have installed
[03:04] <dr_willis> it should ssee it as 2 moniotrs danman1453  so it should be there.. it is on mine
[03:04] <alexandros_c> ok
[03:05] <danman1453> I will look.
[03:05] <veryhappy> ok i see nobody on here has a solution for my problem. take care
[03:06] <wildstrangething> usr13: 2tb sata3 hdd
[03:06] <usr13> wildstrangething: Can you run smartct against it?
[03:06] <usr13> smartct -a /dev/sdx
[03:07] <alexandros_c> usr13, linux-image-extra-3.5.0-26-generic is present along with the others
[03:07] <usr13> alexandros_c: Try removing only one at a time.
[03:07] <Hyperiant> dr_willis: I have returned with further information on my terrible fglrx bug, if you care to take a crack at it
[03:07] <alexandros_c> usr13, I did same error
[03:08] <dr_willis> Hyperiant:  i only hace one amd video machine.. and it hasent even been turned on in months.. so i rarely  mess with fglrx
[03:08] <usr13> alexandros_c: sudo apt-get update
[03:09] <dr_willis> Hyperiant:  you might want to make note of it on the forums, or askubuntu.com if you can find a proper thread about the topic
[03:11] <wildstrangething> usr13: did the test, dont seem to have any errors. http://paste.laravel.com/kkT
[03:12] <alexandros_c> usr13, I did it but was interrupted by an update
[03:13] <usr13> wildstrangething: hdparm -i /dev/sd?
[03:13] <wildstrangething> usr13: http://paste.laravel.com/kkU
[03:14] <wildstrangething> usr13: its 2 x 2tb sata3 hdd in raid-1 mirror
[03:15] <usr13> wildstrangething: I dono ....
[03:15] <usr13> alexandros_c: What?
[03:15] <usr13> alexandros_c: Can you elaborate just a bit on that last response?
[03:16] <dr_willis> the update was interrupted by  an update?
[03:16] <wildstrangething> usr13: no problem, i guess its just too many files to delete
[03:16] <alexandros_c> usr13, THE software updater interrupted the update
[03:17] <usr13> alexandros_c: Ok, I'm lost....
[03:18] <knob> Hello... if I were going to connect to an Ubuntu machine via SSH... which port would she have open?
[03:18] <usr13> knob: 22
[03:18] <knob> I have a machine on my network, yet... not sure which port to try and connect
[03:18] <knob> 22
[03:18] <knob> ok
[03:18] <knob> thanks usr13
[03:18] <knob> =)
[03:18] <FloodBot1> knob: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:18] <alexandros_c> usr13, the seconf time it said I had to run dpkg --configure -a
[03:18] <dr_willis> ssh defaults to 22 anyway..
[03:18] <knob> Sorry floodbot...
[03:18] <usr13> alexandros_c: So do it.
[03:18] <alexandros_c> usr13, but it still fails
[03:19] <usr13> alexandros_c: sudo dpkg --configure -a   fails?
[03:19] <usr13> alexandros_c: What error do you get?
[03:19] <knob> hmm... the machine rejected the connection attempt to port 22
[03:19] <alexandros_c> usr13, I am unable to complete any updates because that broken kernel install.
[03:19] <knob> this is a fresh install of ubuntu's latest release
[03:19] <knob> Should port 22 be open?
[03:19] <knob> Or is there... another way of connecting?
[03:19] <usr13> knob: yes
[03:20] <knob> I only have the network... no video monitor
[03:20] <usr13> knob: Is openssh-server installed on the server end?
[03:20] <knob> I don't know... I just installed it as it came from the factory (Ubuntu)
[03:20] <alexandros_c> usr13,  that command tries to install the broken kernel but fails and ends
[03:20] <knob> So I'm not sure if... it should be there?
[03:20] <usr13> knob: Then do   sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[03:21] <usr13> alexandros_c: pastebinit
[03:21] <knob> But... I... can't... I just have the network cable plugged into it
[03:21] <dr_willis> how did you install it then knob ?
[03:21] <usr13> alexandros_c: This PC does have a connection to the internet, right?
[03:21] <knob> I dropped an image into an SDcard
[03:21] <knob> popped that into the embedded machine, and powered her up
[03:21] <alexandros_c> usr13,  ok give me a few minute I am trying something
[03:22] <dr_willis> knob:  what image? we dont know  what comes on custom images.
[03:22] <alexandros_c> usr13,  yes it is
[03:22] <steven-> anyone expirienced issues with grub/Ubuntu 13.04 beta? It won't boot unless i configure everything manually using the grub console, the only weird part is, I configure exactly whats already configured, I even reinstalled grub, reconfigured it, no errors thrown, reboot -> busybox
[03:22] <alexandros_c> usr13,  trying to redownload the kernal and install it
[03:22] <steven-> I also hat to set sata to compatibily mode since for some odd reason acpi stoped working after the update
[03:23] <knob> dr_willis, ahh
[03:23] <knob> ok
[03:23] <knob> lemme see
[03:23] <knob> thank you... I'll report back in a couple of minutes
[03:23] <usr13> alexandros_c: Where are you downloading it from?
[03:23] <alexandros_c> usr13, through the software updater
[03:23] <usr13> Ok.
[03:25] <usr13> alexandros_c: If you can pastebin some of what you are seeing on the screen, we might be able to tell more about what's going on.
[03:25] <usr13> !paste | alexandros_c
[03:25] <alexandros_c> usr13, ok
[03:27] <usr13> alexandros_c: Have you made any modifications to the sources.list file?
[03:30] <alexandros_c> usr13,  http://dl.dropbox.com/u/107025963/2013-03-13-232609_1366x768_scrot.png
[03:34] <alexandros_c> usr13, I added prereleased updates
[03:36] <usr13> prerelease updates?
[03:37] <alexandros_c> yes
[03:37] <usr13> alexandros_c: Maybe you just need to remove that and do sudo apt-get update again.
[03:37] <alexandros_c> usr13,  tried that still failed
[03:38] <alexandros_c> did you see the screenshot?
[03:38] <usr13> alexandros_c: Oh I see, backports.  Ok yea that is your problem.
[03:38] <usr13> you know the difference between cutting edge and bleeding edge?
[03:38] <alexandros_c> yes
[03:38] <OerHeks> backports is different, prerelease are proposed updates
[03:39] <alexandros_c> I have used arch linux
[03:39] <alexandros_c> usr13, do you know a way to remove the offending packages?
[03:39] <Tex_Nick> usr13 : i'm going to frame your last post & hang it on the wall ;-)
[03:40] <usr13> alexandros_c: OerHeks may be a better person to advise you, but my advise is to leave backports alone, it's something you more-than-likely don't need and it is something that will cause problems.
[03:40] <MoPac> How do I change the order of sources for a package?  I can use apt-cache policy packagename to see the multiple sources, but I don't know how to edit their priority
[03:41] <alexandros_c> hello OerHeks do you have any insight on my problem
[03:41] <OerHeks> usr13, backports are sometimes a problem, but proposed updates can give more ( like this ) problems
[03:41] <usr13> Tex_Nick: Haha... well, I can't take credit for that wording... :)  Just passing on good information from reliable sources... :)
[03:41] <OerHeks> i do not understand why disable prerelease does not bring it back
[03:42] <OerHeks> must be really messed up
[03:42] <Tex_Nick> usr13 : good info indeed !!! ;-)
[03:42] <usr13> OerHeks: Yes, I understand both can cause problems, that is why I don't use them, (therefore I am in uncharted territory whith alexandros_c issues...)
[03:42] <alexandros_c> usr13, I came to that conclusion after install and all attempts to remove it failed :)
[03:43] <D3RGPS31> when booting a live imagine from usb, using the kernel option toram, everything from my usb stick is loaded to ram :l all 29GB :l is there any way to remedy this?
[03:43] <usr13> OerHeks: alexandros_c  ... but I have seen those that have had to work through the process of untangling such messes as this.
[03:44] <alexandros_c> usr13,  so you are saying it is better just to wipe the harddrive and reinstall?
[03:44] <usr13> alexandros_c: So remove the extra entries for backports and prerelease repositories and do apt-get update and apt-get install -f  etc. etc.
[03:44] <OerHeks> try autoclean
[03:45] <usr13> alexandros_c: I use LTS
[03:45] <alexandros_c> usr13, already tried that and it did not work
[03:45] <alexandros_c> usr13, thanks for your help
[03:45] <usr13> I am not one for working on an OS, I want an OS to work for me.
[03:46] <alexandros_c> OerHeks, autoclean did nothing
[03:47] <Bray90820> how would i map a bash script to a keyboard shortcut
[03:47] <usr13> alexandros_c: re-installing is probablyl not a bad idea, but we could read stuff like:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1983220  and try and work through the issues to get it right again...
[03:48] <usr13> alexandros_c: "sudo apt-get clean" etc.
[03:49] <usr13> alexandros_c: The repair work may become a learning experience.  I dono if it's worth it but....
[03:49] <alexandros_c> usr13, do you think ubuntu can run on pentium 1.3 w/ 4GiB  RAM, 320 GIB disk?
[03:49] <alexandros_c> usr13, that is what I did
[03:49] <usr13> alexandros_c: I don't see why not...
[03:52] <usr13> alexandros_c: I'm not sure I understand your question.
[03:52] <alexandros_c> which question?
[03:53] <usr13> "do you think ubuntu can run on pentium 1.3 w/ 4GiB  RAM, 320 GIB disk?"
[03:53] <Magoogle> anyone have any skills with zoneminder?
[03:53] <Magoogle> @usr13 yes but depending on the version... also Unity requireds a halfway decent video card
[03:54] <usr13> alexandros_c: And then you said "that is what I did".
[03:54] <alexandros_c> you told me to run a command I already ran
[03:54] <dr_willis> Pentium 1.3 - means what
[03:55] <usr13> Magoogle: Well, that is true, and he did not specify what video card it has.
[03:55] <alexandros_c> intel
[03:56] <usr13> alexandros_c: dr_willis is pointing out the fact that "pentium 1.3" is not a complete description of the processor.
[03:56] <alexandros_c> 4
[03:56] <Magoogle> @usr13 I just tried running 11.04 on a P4 at 2.4ghz with H/T and 2gb ram.. ran good, put unity on it.. wouldnt run for crap
[03:57] <Tex_Nick> dr_willis : pentium 1.3 ... http://ark.intel.com/products/42004/Intel-Pentium-Processor-SU2700-2M-Cache-1_30-GHz-800-MHz-FSB
[03:57] <Smrtz_> I'm having issues installing .net3.5, I'm trying to use this: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10166
[03:57] <usr13> Magoogle: Not sure why it wouldn't.
[03:58] <dr_willis> Smrtz_:  you may  want to ask in #winehq
[03:58] <Smrtz_> derp, sorry, thought this was that, thanks dr_willis
[03:58] <Smrtz_> !
[03:59] <usr13> Magoogle: I'm not saying it will always but I've seen unity run just fine on a system of that caliber.
[03:59] <Magoogle> @usr13 it is cause the geforce 3 AGP video card.
[03:59] <usr13> Magoogle: Yea, a good video card can help a lot.
[04:20] <Smrtz_> How do I set environment variables in ubuntu?
[04:20] <Smrtz_> is that even a thing?
[04:22] <ztir> hey
[04:23] <ztir> i forgot my ubunutu username/pass since i havent used it in so long is worth trying to recover?
[04:23] <ztir> i'd rather uninstall but not sure how because its on a diff partition
[04:23] <ztir> how would i recover password/username in ubuntu or uninstall ubuntu for reinstall?
[04:23] <expoo> @ztir
[04:24] <expoo> go to your other partition and reformat the partition you want to uninstall
[04:24] <ReeKB> w
[04:24] <expoo> alternatively, you could boot up a livecd
[04:24] <expoo> and do it there.
[04:24] <tcstar> so, i installed jailkit and followed the directions here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=248724  -- i got everything working in that i can ssh...  but i'm getting this:  https://gist.github.com/tcstar/5158783  in the terminal..  any ideas how to repair?
[04:24] <ReeKB> how i can create my room chat_?
[04:25] <Tex_Nick> can anyone give me some insight as to how well the Netflix hack/kludge for wine works on ubuntu ?
[04:25] <expoo> it works pretty well.
[04:25] <expoo> tho it could be better (my computer isn't exactly fast)
[04:25] <ReeKB> my laptop have 256 mb RAM
[04:26] <ReeKB> you can think it speed xD
[04:26] <ReeKB> i use XUBUNTU 11.10
[04:26] <ReeKB> its pretty good
[04:27] <expoo> have you tried fluxbox?
[04:27] <Tex_Nick> expoo : ahh ok cool man ... thanks for the info ;-)
[04:27] <expoo> i wouldn't worry about it if your computer is up to snuff...
[04:28] <expoo> connection speed is also important if you want better quality...but netflix has never been good about that XD
[04:28] <Tex_Nick> expoo:  i've got pretty good hardware ... never tried fluxbox though
[04:29] <ReeKB> netflix need 2 mb for second
[04:30] <OerHeks> Tex_Nick, this article from webupd8 shows a ppa with install script http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-use-netflix-in-ubuntu-through.html
[04:30] <expoo> ooh...i've been trying to keep the life going in this computer
[04:30] <expoo> so i'm using fluxbox...it's unintrusive and keeps everything fast
[04:30] <Tex_Nick> yeah bandwidth is not a pprob here ... i've got 20 M down & 5 M up
[04:30] <expoo> mad jelly.
[04:31] <Tex_Nick> OerHeks:  ok hey thanks for the link will give it a read
[04:31] <Tex_Nick> expoo : thanks for the info
[04:33] <Yakko> hey guys, if there's several processes writing to a log file, what is the best way to back up that file? (and possibly clear it too)
[04:51] <TIEInt>  /join #R
[04:51] <OerHeks> too much space
[05:00] <mutt> yo anybody in here?
[05:00] <dr_willis>  yes
[05:00] <Laogeodritt> Anyone know of packages that can provide bandwidth usage statistics (hourly/daily etc.) on a per-local-port basis? This is for a headless server; I'm running a couple different services and I'd like to track the data being transferred by each one
[05:01] <dr_willis> !info ntop
[05:01] <mutt> lol awesome, not exactly sure how all this works but glad im learning something
[05:01] <Abhijit> Laogeodritt, vnstat
[05:01] <dr_willis> !irc
[05:01] <Laogeodritt> dr_willis: doesn't that only display real-time transfer rate?
[05:01] <Abhijit> Laogeodritt, vnstat
[05:01] <Laogeodritt> Abhijit, thanks, I'll look into it
[05:02] <dr_willis> No idea. ;) i rarely need such tools
[05:02] <dr_willis> would seem a missing feature if  it dident keep some sor  tof totals
[05:02] <Abhijit> vnstat does
[05:03] <mutt> so there is different ways to connect to this room or is xchat the only way?
[05:04] <dr_willis> theres dozens of irc clients you can use mutt
[05:04] <dr_willis> im onmy  android phone rightnow
[05:04] <mutt> ah thats pretty neat
[05:05] <mutt> and this ubuntu room is probably a good place for me to learn more stuff im guessing...
[05:05] <elky> there's also the webchat that freenode provides
[05:05] <mutt> ive been tinkering with gnome for a couple years but always resort back to windows cause i give up
[05:06] <dr_willis> i tend to give up on windows...  ;P
[05:06] <mutt> freenode..yeah i read somethin with that tonight
[05:06] <mutt> lol i dont blame u on giving up on windows...seems to prone to problems
[05:07] <mutt> well this is kool, learned something new tonight...you ever used xchat?
[05:08] <dr_willis> xchat is a commonly used irc client.
[05:08] <dr_willis> it has a windows versions also.
[05:09] <mutt> yupp thats what ive been reading, seems pretty neat so far...doubt theres any chicks to chat with though lol
[05:09] <Laogeodritt> dr_willis: its command line and my recent issues getting a terminal that works well with my server/
[05:09] <mutt> can xchat connect to icq or anything like that?
[05:09] <Laogeodritt> *server's tmux are pushing me towards using Linux for everything not related to gaming or music production
[05:09] <dr_willis> some irc clients have IM client  plugins.. i  rarely use the feature
[05:10] <Laogeodritt> dr_willis: (re: Windows)
[05:11] <mutt> well hopefully i get to learn more, i really love ubuntu...hope to learn more and never go back to windows
[05:11] <dr_willis> !manual
[05:11] <mutt> sweeeeet
[05:13] <mutt> thanx man i appreciate it
[05:15] <mutt> imma go look around more on this thing, i will be back in here soon
[05:16] <servvs> I keep getting errors when I try to update, it says requires installation of untrusted package
[05:16] <servvs> the packages that are untrusted I need/want, how can I fix this?
[05:17] <dr_willis> !gpg
[05:17] <dr_willis> hmm.. theres some pgp/gpg keys  for the sources
[05:17] <dr_willis> !pgp
[05:17] <OerHeks> likely the keys are not installed indeed
[05:17] <dr_willis> i forget the factoid on it
[05:18] <Tex_Nick> OerHeks:  regarding the link you gave me for the Netflix hack/kludge for wine ... THANKS ... that was painless ... works GREAT :-)
[05:18] <OerHeks> Tex_Nick, have fun
[05:19] <OerHeks> i need a proxy or something outside the USA
[05:21] <BlackWeb> Is there away to enable access to the shutdown command without being root; I've modified my /etc/sudoer to include  "MyUserid ALL=(ALL) ALL" But still need to be root in terminal to issue shutdown command
[05:21] <lickalott> hey all
[05:21] <lickalott> anyone in here good with nawk?
[05:22] <cerebrate> after disabling auto initiating of lxde i find myself stuck with a CLI how do i initialize lxde
[05:22] <Tex_Nick> OreHeks : FYI ... i signed up for a month free trial of Netflix about 6 hours ago ... remembering that i had heard that Netflix was now supported on Ubuntu ... when i tried to access a video i was redirected to a page telling me that my system was not supported
[05:22] <lickalott> looking to print below a certain text.  below this text, the line number could vary depending on what happened (how the data is captured) so i can't just tail # the doc.
[05:22] <servvs> how can I purge all of my ppa's except the ones that come with ubuntu, some appear to be broken
[05:23] <lickalott> here's what i have so far - nawk `/Summary Statistics/{printit}printit` filename.txt
[05:23] <inasheeen> hi there, I have a question, on ubuntu gear logo > System Settings > Network , there is an option to run hotspot. there is another option to run hotspot using hostapd, which from what I heard using an infrastructure method. But works differently, in that android cannot detect ubuntu hotspot but can detect hostapd connection. may i know what is the difference between them. thank you
[05:23] <lickalott> i get errors when i run it.  i didn't write them down, but ^^ doesn't work
[05:23] <xangua> !ppa-purge | servvs
[05:23] <OerHeks> !ppa-purge | servvs
[05:23] <Tex_Nick> OerHeks:  so i used their online chat support ... only to be told by their rep that Linux was not yet supported ... lol ;-)
[05:24] <OerHeks> Tex_Nick, sorry to hear that, they must have read that page too
[05:24] <tekkbuzz> BlackWeb: try moving the MyUserid line to the bottom of the sudoers file and add the NOPASSWD: option
[05:24] <mutt> yea thats another reason i would resort back to windows instead of using ubuntu....netflix would stream on it
[05:25] <servvs> hulu streams just fine though
[05:25] <BlackWeb> Alright I'll give that a Try Thanks :)
[05:26] <mutt> is hulu free?
[05:26] <MrHacks> Somebody better wake up
[05:26] <servvs> a lot of hulu is free
[05:26] <Tex_Nick> OerHeks:  Yeah you got that right ... i'm about to go back to their online chat ... tell them that Linux is supported ... thanks again ;-)
[05:26] <tekkbuzz> BlackWeb: MyUserid ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
[05:27] <MrHacks> My resolution is stuck in 800x600
[05:27] <MrHacks> xrandr doesn't remember I have a 22" screen
[05:28] <Jordan_U> MrHacks: That's most likely a driver problem, i.e. you're stuck with VESA drivers for some reason.
[05:29] <MrHacks> This is all I can paste about the problem from /var/log/Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/EQrcXdii
[05:29] <servvs> the repo is malformed and it isn't letting me remove it, is there a solution to this?
[05:30] <asho> hi
[05:30] <asho> we are using the exchange server
[05:30] <asho> now we plan to move to open source mail server
[05:30] <servvs> looks like I can edit it as root, i will give that a try
[05:30] <asho> please guide me
[05:30] <OerHeks> servvs, just removing repo's does not roll back those packages
[05:32] <Aliengel> Hi is there option to save window session between logins in 12.10?
[05:32] <MrHacks> Jordan_U: I used the free drivers, I used the proprietary nvidia drivers, and each time this situation has gotten worse
[05:32] <dr_willis> you can get netflix so many other ways.. i dont really use it on my linux box. :)
[05:33] <MrHacks> I can't hover over the left side to view my side menu, I have to use the window key
[05:33] <MrHacks> My open application windows would take turns turning BLACK until they all turned black
[05:34] <asho> hi looking for migrating the exchange server, any sugestion
[05:34] <MrHacks> I'm hooked up to an HDMI connection on a 22" Samsung 1920x1080 screen I bough from Amazon less than two weeks ago
[05:34] <OerHeks> !server
[05:35] <servvs> I just removed the list from /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[05:35] <servvs> and did apt-get update
[05:35] <servvs> all is well now
[05:36] <MrHacks> And since the screen works perfectly, and the hardware on the computer is brand spanking new, everything works well up until all this weird crap happens that I am unfamilar with even with my knowledge of computers
[05:37] <dr_willis> brand spanking new - is often the most problematic with linux
[05:37] <MrHacks> So explain what are the VESA drivers, why I'm stuck with them, and why right now, the Display pannel show no screens detected despite the fact that I'm looking at it right now
[05:37] <shortstraw8> I typed in sudo cp -r /home/myuser/page.html/ /var/www/page.html/     when I did this it added a new page.html into the page.html in the var/www and I do not have permission on it. So my question is how do I get permission is it chown 777? And my other question is why did this happen?
[05:37] <dr_willis> VESA is the  bottom of the line failsafe drivers..
[05:38] <MrHacks> why are the fail safes going off when there wasn't anything wrong with to begin with.
[05:38] <dr_willis> because somthing has gone wrong
[05:38] <MrHacks> The only thing that is old on the machine is the graphics card which I used from a previous computer that was a couple years old
[05:38] <dr_willis> whatever other drivers were working are not
[05:39]  * dr_willis hasent been paying attention to the details.. whats the card anyway?
[05:39] <MrHacks> the free drivers failed, the propietary nvidia drivers failed
[05:39] <sarnold> shortstraw8: cp tried to bring the page.html/ directory from the source into the page.html/ directory on the destination. It'll take a while to get the hang of cp and rsync syntax. If you had run cp -r /home/myuser/page.html/* /var/www/page.html/ it would have worked as you expected.
[05:39] <Jordan_U> MrHacks: As a test, can you try booting from a LiveUSB of the same version of Ubuntu and see if the external monitor works properly? (to test a vanilla configuration)
[05:39] <MrHacks> nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX+
[05:40] <sarnold> shortstraw8: or, if the /var/www/page.html/ directory did not already exist, this probably would have worked: cp -r /home/myuser/page.html/ /var/www
[05:40] <MrHacks> Jordan_U: Not without closing everything I had open. And rebooting the machine has not effect on this problem
[05:40] <dr_willis> the test is to see if a Live cd setup  does in fact work..
[05:41] <sarnold> shortstraw8: chmod 777 is a too-blunt tool for fixing problems. it's not a good idea.
[05:41] <dr_willis> if it does - then that would show the Noveau drivers work for that card
[05:41] <MrHacks> I've tried discussing this issue with the folks at ##linux, got snubbed with a smug response of "you didn't paste your entire /var/log/Xorg.0.log file, so we're not going to help you."
[05:42] <dr_willis> seems you just want to argue.. we dont controll what other channels do.. so its  pointless info.
[05:42] <MrHacks> I'm not looking for argument.
[05:43] <dr_willis> Live cd would show IF the noveau drivers work for that card..  its also possible  you have an old /etc/X11/xorg.conf thats goofing  up things.. remove/rename it - if it exists
[05:44] <MrHacks> I don't have a LiveUSB and I've uninstalled the noveau drivers after they failed and replaced them with the propietary drivers which have also failed now
[05:44] <dr_willis> it would also be a good idea to  be sure the ssh  server is installed.. incase youneed to ssh into  the bbox to try to fix things.. and install a non unity  desktop (like lubuntu-desktop) or window manager (like jwm) as a fallback  failsafe
[05:45] <dr_willis> how did you install the nvidia drivers?
[05:45] <MrHacks> software center
[05:45] <dr_willis> I do belive theres several versions in the repos for those drivers.
[05:45] <dr_willis> the addational-drivers tool should list them.
[05:45] <shortstraw8> sarnold,  Is there a way to delete it because it is not allowing me to see my changes on my local host.
[05:46] <sarnold> shortstraw8: sudo rm -rf /var/www/page.html/
[05:46] <MrHacks> The strangest thing is that about two or three hours later after taking advice about how I should reboot (which I did and that failed) the damn thing turns back to 1920x1080
[05:47] <MrHacks> I could mess with xrandr for hours on end and have nothing happen
[05:48] <MrHacks> then suddenly the computer remembers everything it forgot
[05:48] <memand> Bit gremlins!
[05:48] <dr_willis> could be the monitor edid info is ocnfuseing what res's the monitor can actually handle also.
[05:49] <MrHacks> So what is, that? the EDID
[05:50] <dr_willis> the monitor gives info the the pc as towhat res and other specs it can handel
[05:50] <dr_willis> handle
[05:51] <MrHacks> So the monitor could be telling the computer this  information even though the monitor can handle more than 800x600
[05:51] <MrHacks> correct?
[05:51] <shortstraw8> sarnold, So in the past I have never used * before, guess I will from now on. dumb question what does the -rf mean? Thank you
[05:52] <sarnold> shortstraw8: * matches all files and directories in a directory -- except for "dot files" such as ., .., .bashrc, and so forth
[05:52] <dr_willis> could be.. or it could be some sort of error in communications where the monitor is not telling anything at all. so the pc defaults to 800x600
[05:53] <sarnold> shortstraw8: -r means (to rm) _recursive_ -- delete everything underneath the named directory. -f means _force_ -- normally rm will ask if you really want to delete a file that you don't have write access to. -f tells it to skip those questions and just delete.
[05:53] <MrHacks> Could it be the HDMI cable? I have another device plugged into another HDMI port on the screen that is showing 1920x1080. It's my Roku box for netflxi
[05:53] <dr_willis> bad hdmi cables can cause all sorts of issues.
[05:53] <Smrtz_> Hey, can I uninstall netlinks without ruining everything?  it's interfeering with something I'm working on.
[05:53] <dr_willis> or semi-flakey hdmi cables.
[05:54] <shortstraw8> sarnold,  You are the man, Thanks you just saved me from going nuts.
[05:54] <sarnold> shortstraw8 :) have fun :)
[05:56] <MrHacks> I will look into replacing the HDMI cable immediately. Prior to my purchase and using an older monitor this problem did not exist, so I will do something about the cable.
[05:56] <dr_willis> could be the hdmi port on the tv also
[05:57] <MrHacks> I tried that. Got the same result when I swapped ports
[05:57] <dr_willis> swap cables perhaps
[05:58] <Abhijit> hi. can i make ubuntu package from another distro?
[05:58] <Abhijit> or in general can i create .deb from rpm distro
[05:59] <sarnold> Abhijit: the 'alien' tool (used to?) claim to be able to do that task. however the end result might be .. strange. I'd recommend real packaging if you have the time and inclination.
[05:59] <OerHeks> there is a tool called alien to handel that, but warnings for incompatibality of those packages
[05:59] <Abhijit> :-(
[05:59] <MrHacks> sure enough, swaping the ports worked
[05:59] <OerHeks> better build from source
[05:59] <MrHacks> I will need to look into this defect
[05:59] <Abhijit> sardonyx_, OerHeks I am not talking about converting rpm to deb or vice versa.
[05:59] <MrHacks> thank you
[06:00] <Abhijit> sarnold, ^
[06:00] <sarnold> Abhijit: ah, you just want to do the packaging on your opensuse? that ought to work
[06:00] <Abhijit> yes
[06:00] <Abhijit> :-o
[06:00] <Abhijit> how on eartth you know I am using opensuse sarnold ?
[06:01] <sarnold> Abhijit: _however_ most people do packaging on ubuntu or debian within very minimal chroot environments and nearly-full build systems, using e.g. schroot and sbuild or pbuilder.
[06:01] <sarnold> Abhijit: your username is 'opensuse' :) just a guess...
[06:01] <Abhijit> :-o
[06:01] <Abhijit> is it? where?
[06:01] <sarnold> Abhijit: /wii Abhijit will show you
[06:01] <Abhijit> oh. this xchat! revealing infro about me!!!!
[06:02] <dr_willis> your cover is blown! run for it!
[06:02]  * Abhijit runs
[06:04] <HorizonXP> hey guys
[06:05] <HorizonXP> My MySQL service seemingly gets stopped/crashed at odd intervals
[06:05] <HorizonXP> I'm guessing with increased RAM usage
[06:05] <HorizonXP> but I can't seem to find anything in the logs saying what's causing it
[06:05] <HorizonXP> I've looked in syslog and mysql.err/log
[06:05] <HorizonXP> but to no avail. any ideas?
[06:05] <Abhijit> HorizonXP, also try #mysql
[06:06] <sarnold> HorizonXP: if it was taking too much memory and the kernel decided to kill it to reclaim memory, the kernel would look "OOM" out of memory messages. have you see any of those?
[06:07] <sarnold> HorizonXP: is your mysql accessible by anyone? or are connections to it fairly restricted? I recently saw some exploits against mysql that just stopped it cold, no log messages ..
[06:07] <HorizonXP> sarnold: connections to it *should* be fairly restricted, it's not exposed to external IPs, just localhost
[06:08] <sarnold> HorizonXP: good start. hrm.
[06:08] <HorizonXP> that being said, services like Wordpress, and some python apps do connect to it
[06:08]  * HorizonXP needs to kill Wordpress off this thing BTW
[06:08] <sarnold> oh. hrm. are both up-to-date?
[06:08] <HorizonXP> sarnold: which log would show OOM errors?
[06:09] <sarnold> HorizonXP: kern.log at least
[06:09] <sarnold> HorizonXP: they may also be logged into syslog.log
[06:09] <HorizonXP> sarnold: need to check Wordpress. I've held off on updates for the last week just until I can isolate this issue.
[06:09] <HorizonXP> any keywords I should look for?
[06:10] <somsip> HorizonXP: try /var/log/mysql/error.log too
[06:10] <sarnold> HorizonXP: 'oom' (I forget upper case or lowercase...), 'segfault'
[06:11] <HorizonXP> none of those
[06:11] <Kalidarn> didn't there used to be an ubuntu mactel channel?
[06:12] <HorizonXP> sarnold: apparently I only have 15 MB free out of 512+. mysqld's using the most at 7.xx%
[06:12] <HorizonXP> which... isn't that much.
[06:12] <sarnold> HorizonXP: how's your diskspace? is anything low?
[06:12] <HorizonXP> 10G available
[06:12] <somsip> HorizonXP: any swap in use - not that it should necessarily kill mysql but it will make it run badly which could cause probs
[06:13] <HorizonXP> hmm... no swap partition
[06:13] <HorizonXP> this is an EC2 instance, so i guess they didn't put one in by default
[06:14] <somsip> HorizonXP: is full logging enabled? /etc/mysql/my.cnf under general_log_*
[06:15] <somsip> HorizonXP: might be worth enabling it so see if it spits something uses out next time it goes down
[06:15] <somsip> *useful
[06:16] <sarnold> HorizonXP: bed time for me, good luck :)
[06:17] <HorizonXP> somsip: i'll check and try that
[06:17] <HorizonXP> sarnold: thanks for your help, gnite
[06:17] <somsip> HorizonXP: make sure this is set too. I find most normal errors end up in here: log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log
[06:18] <HorizonXP> somsip: my.cnf has comments about it being a performance killer?
[06:18] <ak5_> hey guys I have a 11.04 live cd I am booted into, but I want to install 12.04 (am connected to the internet) is there a way to do this?
[06:18] <somsip> HorizonXP: yes - it is. But I'd suggest your performance is worse than compromised right now? It might be your only option if you have nothing else to go on
[06:19] <aeon-ltd> ak5_: besides install and upgrade?
[06:19] <HorizonXP> somsip: fair enough :)
[06:20] <somsip> HorizonXP: How often does it fail?
[06:21] <HorizonXP> somsip: once every day or so
[06:21] <somsip> HorizonXP: so it won't run badly for too long until you get an answer. Maybe you coudl attempt to kill it with ab (apache bench) by hitting the blog or other site that uses it?
[06:22] <HorizonXP> yeah i could try that
[06:22] <ak5_> aeon-ltd: yeah
[06:23] <ak5_> aeon-ltd: upgrading has always given me more problems than a clean install
[06:23] <somsip> ak5_: then download the 12.04 live CD/DVD and install from that
[06:23] <aeon-ltd> ak5_: no, i suggest reburning for the cleanest possible method
[06:23] <ak5_> meh, want to avoid that. fine I just use 11.04 for this box
[06:23] <ak5_> :D
[06:24] <AlexanderVI> can someone explain why adobe recompiles the same version of flash every week it seems, i assume this has somethign to do with the endless flashplugin-installer updates ... to the SAME build, over and over
[06:24] <AlexanderVI> its annoying
[06:24] <AlexanderVI> its a waste of bandwidth to download flash over and over
[06:25] <aeon-ltd> AlexanderVI: doesn't apt have a ignore option?
[06:25] <AlexanderVI> aeon-ltd, it does, but i would like it to be updated when there is a real update
[06:26] <AlexanderVI> but it persists in crying wolf
[06:26] <l057c0d3r> are you sure there isnt like a 0.0.# change.. because apt should not install / re download unless there is a new version number..
[06:27] <l057c0d3r> maybe there just bumping in small bugfixes here and there..  because of there talk of dropping support for everything but chrom.......
[06:27] <AlexanderVI> no, its 11.2.202, over and over; <IP_ADDRESS>3... 11.2.275..
[06:28] <l057c0d3r> right .202  .273  .275..  there has been a revision then somewhere right?
[06:28] <AlexanderVI> no
[06:28] <AlexanderVI> not according to firefox, its 11.2.202
[06:28] <AlexanderVI> it seems they recompile every week for the hell of it
[06:28] <AlexanderVI> hash is different nothing else
[06:28] <AlexanderVI> hence <IP_ADDRESS>5..
[06:29] <truexfan81> ^
[06:29] <AlexanderVI> 11.2 r202
[06:29] <truexfan81> how long till .275 will be in the repos?
[06:29] <AlexanderVI> 2 week tops
[06:29] <AlexanderVI> then it will be updated again
[06:29] <AlexanderVI> http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>5ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>/changelog heres a history of this nonsense
[06:30] <AlexanderVI> thats how long its been goin on
[06:30] <Ben64> you see how the numbers change?
[06:30] <Ben64> that means its new : /
[06:31] <truexfan81> AlexanderVI: i just ran the gui update tool for lubuntu 12.04 the update is there, idk why it didn't show up when i did a sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:31] <truexfan81> thats kinda annoying
[06:32] <l057c0d3r> truexfan81, try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:32] <AlexanderVI> Ben64, its only true if u can point me to some adobe changelog documentation describing why its new
[06:32] <AlexanderVI> its 11.2 r202
[06:32] <truexfan81> l057c0d3r:  i tried that too, said system was up to date
[06:33] <l057c0d3r> hmm..  odd
[06:33] <AlexanderVI> saying its 'new' does not make
[06:33] <Ben64> they're not just changing it for nothing, they fix bugs
[06:33] <AlexanderVI> then it would be release 204 or something not 202
[06:33] <truexfan81> anyway its done, so i can close the screen and go back to using ssh to control the netbook now lol
[06:33] <AlexanderVI> over and over
[06:33] <l057c0d3r> AlexanderVI, try dl the source :-p and comparing
[06:33] <dr_willis> given adobes history.... :) thats supriseing..
[06:34] <l057c0d3r> well if the changes are small config / bug fixes.. but nothing major.. then does not qualify for a release update
[06:34] <AlexanderVI> if i had the 'source' i wouldnt be using their shitty product
[06:34] <l057c0d3r> oh true
[06:34] <l057c0d3r> sorry slipped my mind
[06:34] <dr_willis> ;)
[06:34] <AlexanderVI> but id bet the only change is the 4 byte compile timestamp
[06:35] <Ben64> AlexanderVI: go ask adobe then
[06:35] <l057c0d3r> maybe they just want to annoy people on linux...  sounds about right for adobe
[06:36] <dr_willis> they would totally  rename the files at random then. ;) to break  the deb tools
[06:36] <aeon-ltd> l057c0d3r: on win/mac there's an option to always do updates in background
[06:36] <truexfan81> i have windows machines too, was only i minor update on those also from .171 to .180
[06:36] <rohitkav> My Dell machine wifi isn't connecting
[06:36] <rohitkav> Kindly help
[06:37] <Aravoth> Hi all, Thunderbired notifiacations are not working at all with ubuntu 12.10, does anyon ehave a solution for this?
[06:37] <aeon-ltd> rohitkav: was it before?
[06:37] <l057c0d3r> Aravoth, if i remember correctly you have to have tunderbird open for the notifications to show up
[06:38] <rohitkav> yes
[06:38] <rohitkav> i was able to connect wired
[06:38] <rohitkav> but not through wifi
[06:38] <Aravoth> anyway to make that a passive thing?
[06:38] <l057c0d3r> might want to look into something like kdocky  or something like that..  which allows you to leave it open but drop it to system tray area..
[06:38] <rohitkav> aeon-ltd, Dell inpiron 1318
[06:39] <l057c0d3r> not sure if kdocky is what its called.. havent used it for some long after switching to evolution
[06:39] <AlexanderVI> i stand corrected, i found list of bug fixes on 3rd party site
[06:40] <Ben64> rohitkav: pastebin "lspci"
[06:40] <l057c0d3r> hmm a new kernel again...
[06:41] <l057c0d3r> now if i could only make apt update burg when it installs a new kernel...
[06:41] <l057c0d3r> updates grub conf for me.. but don't use grub...  sigh
[06:42] <jony> I need a good workaround how to mount a samba share with full write access mode in a local folder
[06:42] <l057c0d3r> anyone with an idea on that..  change apt so it updates burg.cfg rather then grub.cfg?

[07:11] <jony> please help
[07:15] <Tex_Nick> usr13 : sorry nvm  :(

[07:17] <jony> I've used this command: sudo smbmount //<IP_ADDRESS>/Documentation_Server /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server -o user=jony
[07:18] <AAA> jony: umount the share and them chown -R jony.jony /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server and remount it
[07:19] <AAA> jony: and make sure you mount it rw
[07:22] <jony> AAA, how can I mount it RW?
[07:25] <AAA> jony: it _may_ be the default. you can check with the mount command (if it is still mounted). it should be a server setting
[07:26] <AAA> jony: also tail your smb*.log on the server to see what is going on
[07:29] <iPollesion> !help
[07:29] <dr_willis> and the issue  is?
[07:30] <jony> AAA, please give me the exact commands
[07:30] <iPollesion> I am going to start learning how to program with Java and I was wondering which would be best to use 64bit or 32bit. I plan on compiling for Windows 64 and 32.
[07:30] <dr_willis> iPollesion:  i doubt if it mattters much.
[07:30] <dr_willis> iPollesion:  i use 64bit on all 64bit hardware
[07:30] <iPollesion> 32bit should be fine for bot development?
[07:30] <dr_willis> iPollesion:  i doubt if it mattters much.....
[07:30] <AAA> jony: do you have access to the samba server? on the client do $ mount | grep mnt
[07:31] <iPollesion> Ah I see.
[07:31] <dchevak> I am not home right now just wanted to see what some people think the problem might be ubuntu 10.04 DNS was running as master changed to slave no problems with rndc connection failed
[07:31] <iPollesion> It shouldn't matter much then. My work will most likely be executed on 32bit and 64bit
[07:32] <dr_willis> err.. is there anything else it could be executed on?  ;)   8bit?
[07:32] <iPollesion> and Java is OS independant. Thanks @dr willis
[07:32] <iPollesion> Haha.
[07:32] <iPollesion> Java doesn't run on chrome OS does it?
[07:32] <AAA> dchevak: firewall? bad dnsec key?
[07:33] <dr_willis> I imagine chromeos can do java
[07:33] <iPollesion> http://productforums.google.com/d/msg/chrome/vjjBEatjrMs/sjIPDqGCqKcJ
[07:33] <iPollesion> Sometimes our imagination isn't always right :(
[07:34] <dr_willis> I have chromeos running inside my  ubuntu system
[07:34] <iPollesion> Great.
[07:35] <AAA> dr_willis: you are so polite
[07:35] <jony> AAA, yes, ex. if I connect with the ubuntu's file manager, the share mounts with full access
[07:35] <iPollesion> thank you very much, those were the only questions I had.
[07:35] <iPollesion> I am excited.
[07:35] <dchevak> I disabled firewall and even removed rules for rejection all from iptables and reject all has come back in again and firewall is disabled
[07:36] <we6jbo> hi
[07:37] <bencc> installing updates hangs in the Flash plugin
[07:37] <bencc> what can I do? stop it?
[07:38] <dr_willis> i think it  will time out after a while bencc
[07:38] <dr_willis> how are you updateing?
[07:38] <bencc> dr_willis: update manager
[07:38] <bencc> dr_willis: it's been stuck for 15 mintues
[07:38] <dr_willis> i always uncheck the flash update. ;)
[07:38] <AAA> dchevak: can you do simple lookups from that box? host google.com <your-name-server-or-name-server-ip>; when that fails try $host google.com localhost (if that is where bind is running)
[07:39] <bencc> dr_willis: how can I stop the update?
[07:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> hallo ubuntu
[07:39] <dr_willis> bencc:  theres not a cancle button?>
[07:39] <bencc> dr_willis: disabled
[07:40] <we6jbo> browser can be hanging it?
[07:40] <bencc> browser is not opened
[07:41] <dr_willis> i rcall my  pc hanging in a simiiler way.... i forget what i did.. just left it alone for a day i  think. :) or i might have used the close button
[07:42] <we6jbo> I would have just killed something if it did that for 15min
[07:42] <we6jbo> not wait 24hrs
[07:42] <bencc> how can I kill it?
[07:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> bencc: ctrl+f2 xkill
[07:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> click the offending window.
[07:43] <bencc> ntzrmtthihu777: can I do it from the command line?
[07:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> that too.
[07:43] <bencc> not sure ctrl+f2 will work because I'm in vbox
[07:43] <bencc> how?
[07:43] <AAA> bencc: xkill
[07:44] <we6jbo> I dont even bother updating anymore because it seems that when I do something like that happens
[07:44] <ntzrmtthihu777> bencc: my bad, its alt+f2 anyways.
[07:44] <AAA> bencc: or ps auxfwww| grep SEARCHSTRING
[07:44] <jony> AAA, after executing mount | grep mnt : //<IP_ADDRESS>/Documentation_Server on /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server type cifs (rw)
[07:44] <AAA> bencc: and then kill that
[07:45] <ntzrmtthihu777> bencc: and yes, you can use the same xkill command from a terminal
[07:45] <bencc> search for what?
[07:45] <bencc> I killed the gui window
[07:45] <bencc> but apt is still locked
[07:45] <bencc> maybe I'll just restart
[07:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> bencc: apt is locked? if you try apt-get from the command line you can find the offending lock file and rm it.
[07:46] <AAA> jony: can you to touch /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server/test ? if not what does $ ls -ld /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server say?
[07:46] <dchevak> bind never starts on the ubuntu machine that I changed from master to slave
[07:46] <AAA> bencc: no need to restart
[07:46] <bencc> ntzrmtthihu777: thanks
[07:46] <AAA> bencc: is sounds like gui has locked your command line apt
[07:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> bencc: np, just a n00b helpin a noob.
[07:46] <ntzrmtthihu777> erm, I said that wrong, lol
[07:47] <AAA> bencc: do a search for dpkg and apt processes. you'll need to use sudo and grep
[07:47] <ntzrmtthihu777> anyone on here using irssi? got a script issue I wanna settle.
[07:48] <AAA> bencc: like $ ps aux|grep dpkg
[07:48] <dchevak> my centos master works but ubuntu hasnt started I am thinking of doing a fresh install on old hard drive and see if I can get it working then copy config I am sure once I get it working will still need to get it talking to each other
[07:49] <jony> AAA, the touch command didn't give any error
[07:50] <AAA> bencc: actually, are you positive there isn't a hidden window/tab somewhere that asks you if you want to update? apt/dpkg/dselect puts a lock in place when it is running
[07:50] <AAA> jony: then you have rw on that share, I'd rm it the touch file if it were me
[07:50] <dchevak> bind9 status shows not running
[07:51] <AAA> dchevak: is that suppose to be your nameserver?
[07:51] <dchevak> /etc/init.d/bind9 restart               says ok
[07:51] <AAA> dchevak: netstat -ltpn|grep named
[07:51] <AAA> dchevak: ps aux|grep named
[07:51] <dchevak> then says fails to connect <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:52] <AAA> dchevak: it isn't configured properly then
[07:52] <jony> AAA, then how can I mount that share in a folder as writeable?
[07:53] <dchevak> thats why I was checking firewall and iptables and noticed something is putting reject ALL
[07:53] <dchevak> I have disabled firewall and deleted ruled and keeps coming back
[07:53] <AAA> jony: hrm. you just proved it was writeable. do you want this rw available everywhere, like at /home/fakeuser/?
[07:54] <AAA> dchevak: is this a production server?
[07:55] <jony> AAA, after the chown the mounted folder is ok, but inside the shared folders haves some little locks on their folder icons
[07:55] <jony> AAA, and they are still not writeable
[07:55] <AAA> jony: use a shell. ls -l /that/directory (PASTE IN PASTEBIN NOT HERE)
[07:56] <dr_willis> hmm.. chowning a samba share?
[07:56] <AAA> dr_willis: no, just the mount point
[07:56] <dr_willis> Ok. :) at least thats doable..
[07:57] <dr_willis> recursively chown the files perhaps.. this is on a ext2/3/4 fs? and not a vfat/ntfs i hope
[07:57] <AAA> I realized the -R was un-needed right after I typed it. but if it was applied after mount, it is all good
[07:57] <jony> AAA, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5612996/
[07:58] <dr_willis> evverything is owned by root. ;)
[07:59] <AAA> jony: are other smb exported shares working? It looks like you smbd.conf needs some adjustment
[08:00] <Drenriza> is ls / |grep ^video[0-9]$ the same as saying "list anything in / that starts with video and ends on a number between 0 and 9"?
[08:00] <AAA> and I don't see the touch file you made
[08:01] <AAA> Drenriza: I think you are missing a wildcard between [0-9] and the end ($)
[08:02] <AAA> Drenriza: or better yet, more stingy regex
[08:02] <usr13> ntzrmtthihu777: I'm using irssi.
[08:02] <Drenriza> AAA not sure what you mean
[08:02] <ntzrmtthihu777> usr13: what distro?
[08:03] <jony> AAA, this is my first share that I want to mount like this
[08:03] <usr13> ntzrmtthihu777: slackware
[08:03] <usr13> ntzrmtthihu777: slackware and ubuntu Why does it matter?
[08:03] <AAA> Drenriza: I said that wrong. your regex will match video/1 but not video/1/yourmom
[08:03] <jony> AAA, but if I connect it via file manager "Connect to server" function, it mounts with write access
[08:04] <ntzrmtthihu777> usr13: because I got a sysinfo script that is returning debian/wheezy for my system, wanna know if its like that for other buntu users
[08:04] <AAA> jony: is it already mounted under /media ?
[08:04] <Ben64> jony: you should put the share in the fstab
[08:05] <usr13> ntzrmtthihu777: Oh, I dono,  I'll look at my  ubuntu system.
[08:05] <AAA> my guess is that is is automounting under /media
[08:05] <ntzrmtthihu777> kk, need the exact script?
[08:06] <usr13> ntzrmtthihu777: Wanna look?: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5613007/
[08:07] <ntzrmtthihu777> usr13: not what I mean, lol. you can add scripts to $HOME/.irssi/scripts to increase functionality.
[08:07] <ntzrmtthihu777> for instance:
[08:08] <Ben64> ntzrmtthihu777: ubuntu is based off debian, thats why it comes up as such
[08:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> Ben64: that's what I figured :/
[08:08] <histo> usr13: weechat has /script  which brings up an interface to enable disable scripts. Also has /iset  for changing settings etc... Much nicer interface IMO
[08:08] <Ben64> you could always change the script
[08:08] <AAA> jony: do the command mount. and look to see if anything looks like your samba
[08:08] <ntzrmtthihu777> usr13: check your /msg
[08:10] <usr13> ntzrmtthihu777: Ok.
[08:10] <ntzrmtthihu777> Ben64: yesh, that's what I was thinking.
[08:12] <usr13> ntzrmtthihu777: I thought you wanted just a stock config script.
[08:13] <ntzrmtthihu777> no, I was wanting to see if it was an issue with my machine that made it say debian or if all buntu machines would return that as the script exists right now.
[08:15] <ntzrmtthihu777> usr13: I seent it to msg because I did not want to flood the channel with my specs.
[08:15] <usr13> Yea, that's ok
[08:16] <ntzrmtthihu777> although it would be nifty if I had an issue and someone needed my specs
[08:19] <dchevak> I live in a village in Alaska and created a wireless Intranet for people to chat watch how to videos listen and download music I have been working on a Dell poweredge 2600 and adding another DNS server to offset load also changing from ubuntu to CentOS I aways have problems with ubuntu updates
[08:21] <dchevak> I have about 300 users and trying to instsall everything new upgrading joomla from 1.5 to 2.5.9
[08:24] <histo> dchevak: Is there a question in there?
[08:26] <jony> AAA, I know how to setup in fstab, but I will need a system restart every time when I want to mount that share? :(
[08:27] <Tex_Nick> dchevak:  I worked on the Alyeska pipeline back about 1974 ... i wish we had what you're doing now back then ;-)
[08:28] <dchevak> my question was about DNS on ubuntu 10.04 that I changed from master to slave and keeps giving me rndc errors have disabled firewall and checked iptables and something keeps putting a reject all rule in iptable have removed several times
[08:28] <Seveas> dchevak: pastebin the rndc errors please
[08:29] <Tex_Nick> dchevak:  10.04 is ancient ... have you considered upgrading to 12.04 ?
[08:30] <ntzrmtthihu777> Tex_Nick: perhaps the machines cannot handle the unity... you can remove it, dchevak, if you want.
[08:30] <dchevak> I am currently at hospital with my daughter wont be back to my server till tomorrow
[08:31] <dchevak> the error is connection failed <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:31] <PudgePacket> Where can I find a place to download a driver for my wireless USB dongle, ubuntu doesn't recognise it.
[08:32] <Seveas> dchevak: ok, let's talk tomorrow then. Few things to try is rndc keeps failing: correct content & permissions on the rndc.key file. Correct config in bind to honor it, iptables can get filled by things like fail2ban and denyhosts. Make sure the dns server is actually listening on <IP_ADDRESS> and not just the public ip
[08:32] <ntzrmtthihu777> PudgePacket: what dongle
[08:33] <PudgePacket> ntzrmtthihu777, is there a command i can run that will show it's full name?
[08:33] <usr13> PudgePacket: lspci
[08:33] <Ben64> lspci
[08:34] <ntzrmtthihu777> PudgePacket: what they said
[08:34] <Seveas> lspci doesn't list usb devices. You'll want lsusb
[08:34] <Seveas> PudgePacket: --^
[08:34] <ntzrmtthihu777> PudgePacket: what he said
[08:34] <Seveas> ntzrmtthihu777: TWSS :P
[08:34] <PudgePacket> Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192CU 802.11n WLAN Adapter
[08:35] <Seveas> !realtek
[08:35] <dchevak> yea have but I use ubuntu for my kids to watch movies I like to copy them and save DVD from getting scratched up but whatever version I have had I always seem to end up with updating problems
[08:36] <usr13> dchevak: using ufw?
[08:36] <dchevak> thats why i have been looking at switching everything to CentOS
[08:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> dchevak: do not update, back up your data and re-install the new one. I have yet to hear of a successfull in-system update.
[08:38] <dchevak> Disabled and iptables keep showing REJECT ALL rule that keeps comming up 2 of them right after each other
[08:38] <histo> dchevak: what sort of updating problems?
[08:38] <dchevak> I have deleted and disabled UFW
[08:38] <histo> dchevak: ufw just controls iptables.
[08:38] <usr13> dchevak: What were you using it for in the first place?
[08:38] <usr13> dchevak:  It would have more-than-likely left the scipt behind.
[08:39] <dchevak> apt-get seems to work on fresh install but then when I try and apt-get install update I get cant find update package
[08:39] <usr13> demonspork:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[08:39] <usr13> dchevak: Did you ever do apt-get upgrade ?
[08:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> usr13: fail.
[08:39] <zetheroo> anyone with experience working with GlusterFS in Ubuntu?
[08:40] <zetheroo> maybe I should be asking this in #ubuntu-server :P
[08:41] <dchevak> I am trying to run 1 DNS servers 1 slave and let my kids watch movies while it helps with DNS server for main system
[08:41] <Seveas> dchevak: 'apt-get install update' will try to install a package named 'update'. This package does not exist. I think you're looking for 'apt-get update' (download new package lists) and 'apt-get upgrade' (update installed packages)
[08:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> Seveas: I can't believe I did not see that...
[08:42] <dchevak> I tried all kinds of things including using aptitude
[08:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> dchevak: run exactly what Seveas typed.
[08:43] <usr13> dchevak: "run 1 DNS servers"?
[08:43] <Seveas> ntzrmtthihu777: he's not able to run anything right now he said :)
[08:44] <usr13> dchevak: Are you sure it's not just a network problem?
[08:44] <dchevak> 1 master DNS 1 slave 1 webserver
[08:45] <dchevak> I might hook up to allow user to use internet later but for now I am running everything as wireless intranet
[08:46] <usr13> dchevak: That's probably why apt doesn't run.
[08:47] <dchevak> using joomla 2.5.9 I was going to upgrade to joomla 3.0 but decided to wait a while while they make more extensions for it
[08:47] <cristian_c> Hi
[08:47] <cristian_c> How can I switch audio from mono to stereo?
[08:47] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[08:48] <Seveas> dchevak: I don't mean to sound rude, but why don't we resume this when you get back home and we can actually try things out? Troubleshooting is pretty difficult if you can't provide extra info or try things.
[08:48] <ntzrmtthihu777> cristian_c: the sound menu under system settings would be a good place to start, if not pavucontrol
[08:48] <dchevak> it has internet access when needed for updates but dont keep it hooked up to internet 300 people would kill my bandwidth limit
[08:49] <cristian_c> ntzrmtthihu777, if I launch pavucontrol, a message appears in the window
[08:50] <ntzrmtthihu777> what message
[08:50] <cristian_c> ntzrmtthihu777, 'Connection to PulseAudio failed. Automatic retry in 5s'
[08:51] <cristian_c> ntzrmtthihu777, and 'In this case is likely because PULSE_SERVER in the Environment/X11 Root Window Properties or default-server in client.conf is misconfigured.'
[08:51] <ntzrmtthihu777> cristian_c: beyond me if you can't do that, sorry. do you have high-end soundcard that does not have good linux support/
[08:52] <angel> #quizz
[08:52] <cristian_c> ntzrmtthihu777, and 'This situation can also arrise when PulseAudio crashed and left stale details in the X11 Root Window.'
[08:54] <jony> AAA, I know how to setup in fstab, but I will need a system restart every time when I want to mount that share? :(
[08:54] <cristian_c> ntzrmtthihu777, and 'If this is the case, then PulseAudio should autospawn again, or if this is not configured you should run start-pulseaudio-x11manually.'
[08:55] <cristian_c> ntzrmtthihu777, but I can't use properly my headphones
[08:55] <ntzrmtthihu777> cristian_c: see previous comment, beyond me.
[08:55] <cristian_c> ntzrmtthihu777, music is out only from a channel
[08:55] <cristian_c> ntzrmtthihu777, I don'tunderstand
[08:55] <cristian_c> *don't
[08:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> cristian_c: I mean I do not have your solution, sorry.
[08:56] <cristian_c> ntzrmtthihu777, previously it was not so
[08:56] <greek> Hi fellas. I am connected to the internet via wireless connection to an ADSL router (in the office next door). I have another router next to my computer, which I can directly connect to via network cable. Our local dev server is also plugged into this router. I would like to connect to this router and access the dev server whilst still being connected to the wireless ADSL router for internet. Is this possible?
[08:56] <cristian_c> :(
[08:56] <dchevak> well where I live GCI is installing new equipment and there wont be internet when I get home for a week or 2 we fly to a bigger Village where they have hospital for my daughter while im at the hotel using there internet I was just see what might be the permissions problem or another software beside UFW that would be writing rules to iptable and putting in REJECT ALL rule in
[08:57] <ntzrmtthihu777> cristian_c: sorry, not my area of knowledge.
[08:57] <angel> Hi!
[08:58] <alex88> greek: sure, just connect to them both, and set to not get default route from the local cable router
[08:58] <angel> How can i join #quizz
[08:58] <greek> alex88, thanks, the latter bit of that sentence, how do i do that?
[08:58] <angel> I did not remember how
[08:58] <alex88> angel: type /join #quizz
[08:58] <Ben64> angel: /join
[08:59] <angel> thks
[08:59] <alex88> greek: first, are those in the same network subnet?
[08:59] <alex88> I mean, are the 2 routers connected together?
[08:59] <angel> I don't know exactly
[09:00] <angel> i'm gone search in google as my best friend
[09:00] <greek> alex88, nope
[09:01] <alex88> greek: which ubuntu are you?
[09:01] <greek> 12.04
[09:01] <hawken> LTS
[09:01] <rking> What's a nice way to install a VCS version of some software?  E.g. I like running a very-recent tmux, vim, weechat, etc. Is there a handy way to say, "Build from this git clone, but install via the package manager" ?
[09:02] <alex88> greek: so in the network configuration, go to the cable network configuration, search for a button like "advanced"
[09:02] <alex88> sorry but I'm not familiar with ubuntu gui :)
[09:02] <Ben64> rking: you can look for a ppa, but it's unsupported
[09:02] <alex88> greek:  oh wait, I've a vm with ubuntu desktop, let me search
[09:02] <rking> Ben64: Hrm. Is there a list of good PPAs, or do you just start Googling and hope you can find one?
[09:03] <Ben64> usually just google something like "wine ppa"
[09:03] <alex88> rking: well, the main project developers of each one usually provides ppa for bleeding edge versions
[09:03] <ntzrmtthihu777> rking: what are you looking for?
[09:03] <Ben64> rking: unless you need a newer version, you should just stick with what ubuntu gives
[09:04] <greek> alex88, ok thanks
[09:05] <alex88> greek: so, got the desktop, on top bar, click on network icon, edit connections, wired connection, edit, ipv4 settings, routes, flag "Use this connection only for resources on its network", ok, save, close and connect the cable
[09:06] <rking> ntzrmtthihu777: I just like new versions of things. It's fun to be on the edge, learning the latest features, helping debug any new problems.
[09:06] <ntzrmtthihu777> rking: true. I got a few cutting edge ppa's myself.
[09:07] <rking> Ben64: I'm not a n00b so much as I'm an Ubuntu-n00b.
[09:07] <rking> alex88: OK, that makes sense.
[09:08] <alex88> rking: ?
[09:08] <rking> alex88: Re: finding a specific PPA for any given project.
[09:08] <alex88> rking: oh sorry :) forgot about that .9
[09:08] <rking> That's actually a really good way, because then I can triangulate bugs to specific package versions
[09:09] <dr_willis> if an app is in the repos.. that makes compiling from source a bit easier also.. you can pull in all the needed dependencies to compile it with the  build-dep  option to apt-get i recall
[09:09] <dr_willis> used to compile weechat all the time..
[09:09] <rking> OK, that makes sense.
[09:10]  * rking tries to shake the dust off his Debian skills.
[09:10] <greek> alex88, you're a genius, that works great, thanks :)
[09:10] <alex88> greek: I wish :) np :)
[09:11] <rking> Man, I tell you one thing from Gentoo I miss already: not having exclusive locking on package installs.
[09:12] <dr_willis> !pin
[09:12] <alex88> greek: remember to remove that flag when you need internet by cable
[09:12] <rking> I wonder if they're ever going to fix that with dpkg
[09:12] <rking> dr_willis: No I mean: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[09:13] <Abhijit> rking, genoo allow two root instances to install a software at the very same time?
[09:13] <dr_willis> cant say its really an issue for most people. things install so quickly
[09:13] <Seveas> rking: no, that's not something they're going to "fix" as it's a feature, not a bug.
[09:13] <rking> With emerge you can fire of 30 of them at once if you wanted. Really helps you ease into a new machine, because you typically want to kick off a big install of some ones you think of right away, but then as you're waiting it's nice to cherrypick specific ones
[09:13] <rking> Abhijit: Yep. Turbo m0de.
[09:13] <rking> Seveas: How is that a feature?
[09:14] <Seveas> rking: consistency over ludicrous speed
[09:14] <Abhijit> rking, and it do not create any conflict or overwriting etc?
[09:14]  * rking wonders if Firefox should add the "feature" of only allowing you to download one file at a time.
[09:14] <rking> Abhijit: I've never seen it do one thing wrong. I don't even know what might possibly go wrong.
[09:14] <Abhijit> rking, i suggest you to try installing libreoffice and opeoffice at same time in your gentoo and lets see what happens.
[09:14] <oceanne> bonjours :)
[09:14] <Seveas> Abhijit: add a kernel and firefox install and the computer will melt
[09:15] <rking> Especially since so many parts of the resource usage are different: while one package is using network to download, another is using disk to install, while another is using CPU to extract
[09:15] <Abhijit> yep tell that to rking
[09:15] <Seveas> rking: now there's a feature I want: don't wait for all packages to download before starting to install the first one.
[09:16] <rking> I'm sure you "could" break it, by doing pathological things, but I don't see why I need to wait for gcc to finish installing while I also install htop
[09:16] <Abhijit> rking, i think at the backend its just smartly using the resources but not actually 'installing' the package at 'very' same time. its just creating illusion to user that it is doing it at same time.
[09:16] <rking> Abhijit: If that's the case, that's cool.
[09:16] <Seveas> Maybe we can get canonical to replace apt with something else :)
[09:16] <teset> hi
[09:16] <Seveas> hello teset
[09:16] <^Zew^> hi
[09:16] <teset> im installing lubuntu 10.04
[09:17] <jostdotcom> q: how to fix this response using suggested command after apt-get update: W: Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release amd64 (20120823.1)/dists/precise/restricted/binary-i386/Packages  Please use apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot be used to add new CD-ROMs
[09:17] <teset> installation seem stop
[09:17] <Abhijit> !10.04
[09:17] <Abhijit> teset, its eol
[09:17] <teset> at running dpkg
[09:17] <Abhijit> why don't you get latest version?
[09:17] <Seveas> jostdotcom: remove the CD from /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:17] <dr_willis> jostdotcom:  are you using some packages from a cdrom? if not  remove the cdrom from your sources listings
[09:17] <teset> eol?
[09:17] <teset> i have an old pc
[09:18] <teset> with ISA audio card
[09:18] <Abhijit> teset, 10.04 support is going to end whithin a month. why don't you get latest version?
[09:18] <jostdotcom> will do..thanks.
[09:18] <teset> ISA audio card
[09:18] <teset> old..
[09:18] <greek> alex88, gotcha, will make a note of it :) cheers mate
[09:18] <jostdotcom> did apt-get upgrade...did not take i guess?
[09:18] <Seveas> teset: Ubuntu 10.04 (and thus lubuntu 10.04) will no longer receive support/updates. Either get a new PC or run an OS suitable for your old pc. Ubuntu is not that OS I think.
[09:18] <alex88> have fun
[09:18] <dr_willis> and you  are sure support for it has been removed from newer versions teset >
[09:18] <Abhijit> teset, you can still install driver for that in latest ubuntu.
[09:19] <teset> ISA audio??
[09:19] <teset> i have not  soundblaster
[09:19] <Seveas> Abhijit: isa sound card also indicates a pc that was build in the last century. No way unity & co will run on that.
[09:19] <teset> but yamaha old opl3 sax....
[09:19] <marcreichelt> Hi there! Did anyone get VirtualBox (package 'virtualbox') to run ob Ubuntu 12.04 (latest updates)?
[09:19] <Abhijit> then use lubuntu or xubuntu in that cas teset
[09:19] <Ben64> marcreichelt: yes
[09:19] <jostdotcom> i thought apt-get distro-upgrade would have given me the latest version for all....
[09:19] <dr_willis> teset:  test with a lubuntu  12.04 live cd perhaps
[09:19] <Seveas> Abhijit: even that... It's a piece of unsupportable trash :)
[09:20] <Abhijit> :-)
[09:20] <marcreichelt> I can't get it to run on my newest Laptop because it has warnings when compiling the kernel module virtualbox-dkms...
[09:20] <Seveas> (not lubuntu/xubuntu, the HW)
[09:20] <Abhijit> Arch is the way!
[09:20] <marcreichelt> It runs fine on my ThinkPad, though :/
[09:20] <Seveas> Abhijit: and grease is the word!
[09:20] <Abhijit> :-p
[09:20] <teset> there no way for ISA yamaha card????
[09:20] <marcreichelt> Ben64, how did you get it to run? Or didn't you have problems with DKMS?
[09:20] <Touhou11> jostdotcom: If you want a version of Linux which upgrades automatically (rolling release), you might like Debian Testing or Arch Linux
[09:20] <Seveas> marcreichelt: is there a specific reason you want virtualbox instead of kvm and virt-manager?
[09:20] <dr_willis> teset:  Try a 12.04 lubuntu live cd and see if you get sound...
[09:21] <Ben64> marcreichelt: uh, i just ran it
[09:21] <marcreichelt> Seveas, yes (and I also use KVM, but for other reasons)
[09:21] <jostdotcom> understood...i like ubuntu...just got to watch that from now on...thanks all
[09:21] <teset> i know that new linux kernel dont support  ISA audio.....
[09:21] <Seveas> marcreichelt: ok, just wanted to make sure you're aware of alternatives as I don't have an actual answer :)
[09:21] <teset> maybe new Lubuntu des it???
[09:21] <Abhijit> teset, this page says something about setting up old isa card. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToSetupSoundCards
[09:22] <Ben64> teset: how do you know it doesn't support it
[09:22] <marcreichelt> somehow the DKMS module can't be built because there is an 'implicit declaration of the function do_mmap'...
[09:22] <teset> ISA too old
[09:22] <Seveas> teset: newer kernels still support ISA audio. However, if your PC still has ISA audio, it's probably too old to run any modern, supported distro reasonably well.
[09:22] <Seveas> !virtualbox | marcreichelt this may help
[09:22] <Ben64> teset: you should just get a newer computer then
[09:22] <teset> audio work on my pc with Puppy 4.3
[09:22] <rking> Dang. I wonder if I really need 50 *.ubuntu.com sources
[09:23] <teset> no sound with last 5.5 puppy..
[09:23] <Seveas> teset: then run puppy. Why switch?
[09:23] <marcreichelt> Seveas, no, it doesn't
[09:23] <marcreichelt> it seems I am affected by this bug: md64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[09:23] <teset> i want install a python sotware....
[09:23] <marcreichelt> arghh
[09:23] <teset> anki2
[09:23] <marcreichelt> I mean this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1008966
[09:23] <rking> precise{,-security}/{main,multiverse,restricted} {amd64,i386} <- Lots of combos
[09:23] <teset> because i selected Lubuntu...
[09:24] <teset> installation is stopped
[09:25] <teset> on running DPKG
[09:25] <teset> 85%
[09:25] <Seveas> teset: we've told you numerous times now that 10.04 is out of support, that lubuntu is not the best choice for your pc and that really, your pc is too old. We will not be able to help you.
[09:25] <teset> and Cd driver run....
[09:25] <teset> ok
[09:25] <teset> pentium2..
[09:26] <Ben64> i got pentium 2 computers for free about 10 years ago, i'm sure you can get something better now
[09:26] <teset> now i will have Grub problem....
[09:26] <Seveas> yes. That's 20 years old. Trash it.
[09:26] <Touhou11> Don't trash it, that PC is fine for a lot of things
[09:27] <Seveas> as a doorstop maybe
[09:27] <Touhou11> I love the idea that Linux can't be run on an old PC... maybe with Unity
[09:27] <Ben64> melt down into a cube
[09:27] <teset> with puppy i surf the web
[09:27] <teset> ok
[09:27] <Touhou11> You just need to use a more suitable Linux distribution, Ubuntu is too bloated these days
[09:27] <teset> install is going...
[09:27] <ntzrmtthihu777> hell make a server outta em, run minecraft ;)
[09:27] <dr_willis> I most likely have 5 better pcs in the garrage,, i cant give away
[09:28] <Ben64> minecraft wont work on a p2
[09:28] <teset> 93
[09:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> :(
[09:28] <dr_willis> I imagine my  $35 raspberrypi has better specs. ;P
[09:28] <Ben64> it does
[09:28] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: how are those? I've been hearing alot about them
[09:29] <dr_willis> ntzrmtthihu777:  they do xbmc well. and used one as a znc server for a while.
[09:29] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: I just discoverd xbmc the other day, damn cool it is.
[09:29] <rking> Dang. Some of these things are pretty nice. I'm glad to be learning Ubuntu.
[09:30] <dr_willis> ntzrmtthihu777:  i got xbmc on my android phone now,
[09:32] <rking> dr_willis: What do you think of it?
[09:33] <dr_willis> it being what? ;)
[09:33] <rking> xbmc
[09:33] <dr_willis> works very well onc eyou learn to use it
[09:33] <rking> Cool
[09:34] <^Zew^> VLC works good  still likw the look of xbmc
[09:34] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: just discovered the .ogg format <3
[09:34] <dr_willis> xbmc does a lot more then what vlc does...
[09:34] <Touhou11> does xmbc for Raspberry Pi support the same features as the full version? Or does it support a restricted set of codecs?
[09:34] <dr_willis> Touhou11:  basically the same
[09:35] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: tell me, if you install xbmc on an ubuntu install that did not come with it pre-installed does it create the login option or do you have to do that manually?
[09:36] <dr_willis> ntzrmtthihu777:  i got the xbmc session option here. Im not sure if thats from  xmbc in the repos.. or from the xbmc ppa im using
[09:36] <Ububegin> I am using Ubuntu 10.10 but want to upgrade to the latest Qt https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/qt4-qmake/4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4 .. How should I go about updating to this ? I cant update my Ubuntu for various reasons.
[09:36] <dr_willis> I tend to put xbmc on the 2nd monitor
[09:36] <ntzrmtthihu777> dr_willis: 2 monitors? so jelly. oh well, still lovin my touchscreen :D
[09:37] <PudgePacket> Ok, so i've been trying to install the driver for my wireless usb adapter for some time now and i keep running into hurdles.
[09:37] <PudgePacket> First, the install script required make
[09:37] <PudgePacket> which i was able to download, transfer to the computer, and install
[09:37] <dr_willis> PudgePacket:  you sure the addational-drivers tool dosent show the pacakges for the wifi thing?
[09:37] <PudgePacket> Then make required gcc, which i haven't been able to install, namely because it has so many prerequisites and i can't find them all.
[09:38] <dr_willis> I got a $5 wifi usb dongle on amazon that works out of the box.. ifi got a laptop i need to get the other wifi going via a download.. i use the cheap wifi to get the built in one going
[09:38] <ntzrmtthihu777> PudgePacket: save your self a load of trouble, hook up with ethernet and intsall.
[09:38] <dr_willis> running a wire - is the  easiest way   ;)
[09:38] <PudgePacket> ntzrmtthihu777 the ethernet port is broken. that's why im using wireless
[09:38] <PudgePacket> dr_willis, where can i find the additional-drivers tool?
[09:39] <dr_willis> PudgePacket:  what ubuntu  version?
[09:39] <PudgePacket> lubuntu 12.10
[09:39] <Ububegin> I am using Ubuntu 10.10 but want to upgrade to the latest Qt https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/qt4-qmake/4:4.8.1-0ubuntu4 .. How should I go about updating to this ? I cant update my Ubuntu for various reasons.
[09:39] <dr_willis> under the  software sources tool. the  last tab for 12.10
[09:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> PudgePacket: then in the software center
[09:39] <dr_willis> you  will still need some sort of network connection
[09:39] <ntzrmtthihu777> Ububegin: maveric is no longer supported, methinks.
[09:40] <Seveas> Ububegin: the best answer is "you don't". You'll spend more time in recompiling many apps and fixing resulting bugs than it takes to update to 12.10
[09:41] <PudgePacket> dr_willis, so there's basically nothing I can do until I can find another wireless adapter that ubuntu will support out of the box?
[09:41] <ntzrmtthihu777> this ^
[09:41] <Seveas> So those "various reasons" you have need to be fixed. What are they?
[09:41] <Touhou11> Ububegin: You could always compile Qt from source, otherwise upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu
[09:41] <PudgePacket> It's quite annoying, I have another computer sitting here with internet and I still can't get the other working
[09:41] <ntzrmtthihu777> PudgePacket: without getting stuck in dependency hell.
[09:41] <PudgePacket> :/
[09:41] <Ububegin> Touhou11: Oh bugger... thanks
[09:42] <dr_willis> PudgePacket:  its dooable.. the
[09:42] <ntzrmtthihu777> PudgePacket: you may be able to make a bash script to grab your dependencies on the working machine...
[09:42] <dr_willis> that tool will show if you need to compile or not
[09:42] <Capprentice> What tool should I use to clone my whole HDD ? I have 500 GB SATA HDD, now I have purchased 1TB SATA HDD. I have Ubuntu , Windows and Fedora on my old HDD. When I clone my HDD should I have to keep the partition structure ? Should I use remastersys for copying the system ?
[09:43] <Ben64> Capprentice: you could still boot off the old one and use the new one as storage
[09:43] <Seveas> Capprentice: copying it over with dd and then using gparted to create an additional 500GB partition may work
[09:43] <Seveas> Capprentice: though I would do what Ben64 said or just reinstall everything if you don't want the 500GB one anymore
[09:44] <Capprentice> Ben64,  Both of them are healthy HDD. So yes Im now using it. I just want to switch my Old HDD with new one. New one came with 7500 RPM and OLD one is 5700 RPM
[09:46] <Ben64> Capprentice: well then you can use dd, or i think gparted can copy partitions to a new drive
[09:46] <Capprentice> Seveas,  Yes I agree, but installing from scratch is a tiresome job. I have make lots of customizations by following numerous guides on the internet, more of those I dont remmber. If I lost everything it gonna take lots of time to do so.
[09:48] <Capprentice> Ben64,  Im not much confident about using command line. Is there any gui tool that can do the same ? In Gparted I dont see an option for drive cloning. Where Is the option located ?
[09:53] <PudgePacket> Ok, so as a last resort, is there any way (because i've installed using Wubi tool) that I can go into the windows partition and grab the wireless usb adapter drivers?
[09:54] <bekks> PudgePacket: Most likely, you cant.

[10:09] <aLeSD> hi all
[10:09] <aLeSD> is it possible to install ubuntu desktop in non graphical mode ?
[10:10] <dr_willis> you mean use a text based installer?
[10:10] <aLeSD> dr_willis, yes
[10:10] <dr_willis> alternative installer or the mini cd.
[10:10] <dr_willis> !mini
[10:10] <aLeSD> ok thanks
[10:11] <dr_willis> no alt  cd for  12.10
[10:11] <edu> Hi there, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 wih default gnome and devilspie to open a script (it opens screen+irssi) in Terminal. I want it to move to a diferent workspace. The problem is that in devilspie I cannot match application_name because I only want that script not all terminals I open. Is there a way to change the application_name in bash? Thanks
[10:11] <Touhou11> Or you can use the server version, that doesn't install any GUI by default
[10:13] <aLeSD> dr_willis, so ? 12.10 ... ?
[10:15] <aLeSD> dr_willis, what about install server edition ... then install unity ?
[10:16] <bekks> aLeSD: Install a desktop kernel, in addition, and you'll have a full blown unity desktop then.
[10:22] <MorpheusxNL> anyone has an idea what we can expect in 13.04
[10:22] <MorpheusxNL> as in new features
[10:22] <Touhou11> I don't think there many new features, most developers have been moved onto Ubuntu Phone
[10:23] <ceegee> hi there
[10:23] <Anonissimus> having a problem with a java applet in chromium
[10:23] <Anonissimus> the one on the sun page loads fine
[10:23] <Anonissimus> bu this an ssl vpn aplet that just won't load in chromium
[10:24] <ceegee> I created a LUKS encrypted partition and want it to get mountet on boot. I edited the /etc/crypttab file and executed update-initramfs -u -k all, but I will not be asked for its password on boot
[10:24] <ceegee> what am I doing wrong?
[10:25] <dpy> hi guys
[10:25] <dpy> I upgraded to 12.04 yesterday, and now my /tmp folder is completely empty after reboot
[10:26] <MorpheusxNL> dpy: did you expect soemthing else?
[10:26] <dpy> I hate this behaviour, therefore I once added TMPTIME=60 to /etc/default/rcS, but nothing honoured that variable, so it seems
[10:27] <dpy> has it changed?
[10:27] <MorpheusxNL> dpy: well i assume that when you upgrade that those things will be reset
[10:27] <dpy> no it didn't, it still reads TMPTIME=60
[10:28] <dpy> but the bootclean initscript is gone as well
[10:28] <dpy> so my guess is the mechanism for clean /tmp has changed
[10:28] <dpy> cleaning
[10:28] <MorpheusxNL> dpy: that i don't know.
[10:29] <aLeSD> is there any alternative to freeNX ?
[10:29] <dpy> ah, "Cleaning the /tmp is done by /etc/init/mounted-tmp.conf now."
[10:29] <bekks> aLeSD: "nomachine nx"
[10:29] <vlt> Hello. I have a “home” folder icon on my desktop but I don’t know how it came there. ~/Desktop is empty. Any idea?
[10:29] <aLeSD> lol
[10:29] <bekks> aLeSD: Thats the alternative to freenx.
[10:30] <dpy> but that file still source /etc/default/rcS and uses TMPTIME
[10:30] <aLeSD> bekks: I have a machine under virtual box and I want to access it in a fast way remotely
[10:30] <dpy> I guess some other moronic script did a rm -rf /tmp/*
[10:30] <HorizonXP> hey guys, trying to figure out how to fix this piece of code: https://github.com/mattupstate/flask-social/blob/develop/flask_social/views.py#L198
[10:31] <bekks> aLeSD: Then either freenx or nx are your choices.
[10:31] <dpy> ah
[10:31] <HorizonXP> basically, that redirect function returns a BaseResponse object that isn't iterable, so it raises an exception back on line 205
[10:32] <dpy> I read here that, if during the upgrade disk space runs out, /tmp/* is the first one that will be "automagically" cleaned
[10:32] <HorizonXP> easiest thing is to have it return a None object, and then use a conditional to figure out what to do
[10:32] <HorizonXP> oh crap
[10:32] <HorizonXP> wrong channel :-/
[10:32] <HorizonXP> sorry!
[10:34] <jony> if I setup in fstab to mount a network share in a folder, I must restart my PC every time when I want to mount that share?
[10:35] <dr_willis> jony:  no
[10:35] <bekks> No, thats not necessary.
[10:36] <jony> dr_willis, but I'm migrating very often between networks and I plan to put in fstab different shares from different networks
[10:37] <bekks> jony: Which still doesnt enforce reboots to mount your shares.
[10:37] <dr_willis> use the noauto option. mount when needed
[10:37] <dr_willis> bbl
[10:48] <Mavrik> jony, I suggest you check out autofs
[10:48] <vlt> Hello. I have a “home” folder icon on my desktop but I don’t know how it came there. ~/Desktop is empty. Any idea?
[10:49] <purplerain> Doing full upgrade (incl. updating kernel to <IP_ADDRESS>) via dist-upgrade broke my (K)ubuntu, i got flickering webcam and tearing screen. But when i choose previous kernel version which is <IP_ADDRESS> from GRUB the issue won't fix. What to do?
[10:51] <jony> Mavrik, I can mount with that in a folder and be it writeable?
[10:51] <jony> bekks, how can I reload fstab without restarting?
[10:52] <Hyperiant> How can I fix compiz eating up all my CPU?
[10:52] <bekks> jony: You dont have to reload it at all. Eadd an entry for /my/share and just sudo mount /my/share
[10:53] <jony> bekks, if I mount like this, in the mounted folder the content it's only read-only :(
[10:53] <bekks> jony: Then your entry has to be changed to mount it r/w.
[10:53] <bekks> jony: Or even changed to be mountable by users.
[10:54] <jony> I tried this: sudo smbmount //<IP_ADDRESS>/Documentation_Server /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server -o user=jony
[10:55] <jony> bekks, I tried this: sudo smbmount //<IP_ADDRESS>/Documentation_Server /mnt/docsrv01_Documentation_Server -o user=jony
[10:55] <bekks> jony: Thats not an entry for the /etc/fstab
[10:55] <jony> bekks, but it mounts only read-only
[10:55] <bekks> jony: Then your user does not have write permissions on that share.
[10:56] <jony> bekks, it haves, because if I connect to the share via file manager "Connect to Server..." function, it will mount the share with full rights

[11:08] <Ben64> jony: yeah that'd probably be fstab. check this out - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[11:09] <FerkSwe> Hey, I'm having this annoying issue where my regional settings revert all the time. Here's a picture of my settings. They are this way when I log in, but I still have an english keyboard. http://i.imgur.com/MEZDZOI.png
[11:09] <chicognu> chicao@chicao-VirtualBox:~$ sudo iw phy phy0 interface add ah0 type ibss chicao@chicao-VirtualBox:~$ sudo ifconfig ah0 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Não há espaço de buffer disponível (there is no buffer space)
[11:09] <chicognu> anyone know what the problem is ?
[11:09] <jony> Ben64, but let's say I'm changing from network1 to network2. Does fstab automatically mount the specified shares from network2?
[11:10] <PieFace57754_> Morning all
[11:10] <tas> morning
[11:10] <Ben64> jony: I think it just does it on boot
[11:10] <jony> that's the problem, I don't want to reboot every time
[11:10] <PieFace57754_> Quick question, does anyone know how to get the Intel X79 raid working on Ubuntu 12.04? Gparted is showing the two (RAID1) drives seperately...?
[11:10] <Ben64> jony: but, you can do "sudo mount -a" to mount everything in fstab
[11:10] <jony> Ben64, that's the problem, I don't want to reboot every time
[11:11] <jony> Ben64, but what will happen to unavailable shares? it will slow down the mounting process?
[11:11] <Ben64> it just wont mount
[11:12] <chicognu> When i try to up a virtual wireless interface it says there is no buffer space, why ?
[11:12] <bekks> jony: You dont have to reboot for mountng a share.
[11:12] <TakeItEZ> jony: you need to set smbmount suid-root, then you can mount those shares as user. just define them all in fstab with credentials etc. + "noauto" option
[11:12] <Ben64> don't need to suid anything : /
[11:12] <Us3r_Unfriendly> http://postimage.org/image/kyspz1ty5/ using dolping and irssi ubuntu
[11:13] <TakeItEZ> Ben64: to mount winshares as user you need
[11:13] <Ben64> just sudo mount -a
[11:13] <bekks> TakeItEZ: Not needed to suid something.
[11:13] <Ben64> setuid is almost always the wrong way to do something
[11:13] <bekks> TakeItEZ: Add the oprion to mount as user into the fstab - done.
[11:13] <TakeItEZ> thats root, not user (sudoers even)
[11:13] <Cv_> Hello every body
[11:13] <Cv_> i need help
[11:14] <bekks> TakeItEZ: Please take a look at the mount options before suggesting to setuid something unnecessarily.
[11:14] <PieFace57754_> At the right place then :)
[11:14] <Cv_> im instaling ubuntu 13.04 in oem mode
[11:14] <bekks> Cv_: Then the right place is #ubuntu+1 :)
[11:14] <Cv_> after run the prep end user configuration im shutdown
[11:14] <Cv_> sorry
[11:16] <captainlinux> Let's say I have Ubuntu installed on my hdd. If I shrink the size of my hdd, create a new partition and install, for example windows 7. Will it mess up grub on that hdd?
[11:16] <TakeItEZ> bekks: try it
[11:16] <Seveas> captainlinux: no, but it will mess up your filesystem
[11:16] <Us3r_Unfriendly> captainlinux: yes
[11:16] <Ben64> captainlinux: shrinking won't mess up grub. creating a partition won't either. installing windows will mess grub up though.
[11:16] <bekks> TakeItEZ: I know it is the wrong approach to use setuid, when there is a mount option giving users full access to mount/unmount.
[11:17] <Us3r_Unfriendly> captainlinux: your talking about dual booting?
[11:17] <edu_____1> which command uses when i press Crtl+Alt+T?
[11:17] <captainlinux> So It's like Windows will install it's own bootloader, right?
[11:17] <Ben64> yeah
[11:17] <Us3r_Unfriendly> captainlinux: windows will rewrite the mbr
[11:17] <TakeItEZ> bekks: "users" as mount option still fails until smbmount isn't setuid root
[11:17] <captainlinux> Just trying to understand the process of how grub and the bootloader works...
[11:17] <Us3r_Unfriendly> captainlinux: so after install of windows you'll redo your grub from within a live cd
[11:17] <captainlinux> In general.
[11:19] <captainlinux> But if I install Windows first and Ubuntu based OS it will ask me if I want to install the OS alongside windows... So basically the OS will install GRUB and add Windows to the boot menu?
[11:19] <Ben64> captainlinux: correct
[11:20] <captainlinux> So it's like the mbr points to the bootloader and everytime I install another OS it gets overwritten and pointed to the just-installed os's bootloader?
[11:20] <Cv_> the ubuntu+1 work?
[11:20] <bekks> captainlinux: The MBR contains the bootloader, it doesnt point to it.
[11:21] <jony> Ben64, it worked with fstab, now the share is writeable, TY!
[11:21] <jony> bekks, it worked with fstab, now the share is writeable, TY!
[11:22] <captainlinux> Oh, okay. So it's more like the windows mbr (which contains the bootloader) gets deleted and grub is placed instead and vice versa?
[11:22] <jony> TakeItEZ, how can I set the suid-root?
[11:22] <bekks> jony: You dont have to do it, since it already works for you - as you just said.
[11:23] <jony> so after connecting to another network, just lunch sudo mount -a ?
[11:23] <TakeItEZ> jony: you don#t need if you use sudo
[11:23] <jony> bekks, so after connecting to another network, just lunch sudo mount -a ?
[11:24] <bekks> jony: If the /etc/fstab reflects your shares, yes.
[11:25] <PieFace57754_> If anyone has time to look at this Intel X79 Raid question I'd be really appreciative http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2125501&p=12557010
[11:25] <jony> bekks, and fstab just skips those specified shares which are unavailable?
[11:25] <TakeItEZ> jony: if you are using several different networks, its worth the time to look at "guessnet" to automate those mounts
[11:25] <bekks> jony: Just test it :)
[11:25] <captainlinux> And in grub the os-prober is responsible for the detection of other operating systems installed on the hdd?
[11:25] <bekks> captainlinux: Yes.
[11:25] <jony> bekks, I will do that, TY!
[11:26] <bekks> PieFace57754_: Your board does not have a hardware raid controller, so you cant use a hardware RAID. You have to setup a software RAID, when wanting to have a mirror across your disks.
[11:27] <captainlinux> So that when I have for example ubuntu installed then I additionally did a windows install, then repaired grub with live cd it will rewrite the mbr and the os-prober will detect windows and put it to the grub menu list?
[11:27] <bekks> captainlinux: Yes.
[11:27] <jony> TakeItEZ, you specified the "noauto" function, what does it do?
[11:27] <captainlinux> bekks: Okay, thank you very much. That helped me a lot to understand the whole process! :)
[11:28] <captainlinux> Thanks to everyone.
[11:28] <captainlinux> Have a nice day.
[11:28] <TakeItEZ> jony: what it says: it doesn#t mount automatically, you have to mount manually
[11:28] <bekks> jony: It skips automounting.
[11:28] <TakeItEZ> jony: "man mount"
[11:29] <ee12059>       /join #nome
[11:29] <ee12059> ht
[11:29] <jony> so when I lunch "mount -a" it will not mount my specified shares?
[11:29] <bekks> If you set them to noauto - no.
[11:30] <jony> bekks, and how can I mount a "nouato" share then?
[11:31] <serpenthelm> Is there a way to open a nautilus folder from an html file via a link? This is for local use only
[11:31] <bekks> jony: by typing sudo mount /mountpoint/of/your/share
[11:31] <jony> bekks, TY I will try that
[11:32] <Hyperiant> dr_willis: I solved my problem; if you find anybody who experiences unity breaking after installing fglrx, tell them to run sudo apt-get update and sudi
[11:32] <Hyperiant> *sudo apt-get upgrade until there's no more
[11:33] <Hyperiant> Then reboot and it's fixed
[11:45] <doomlord> pointer Edge-Flipping in desktop wall , unity: sometimes it doesn't trigger - any ideas what could cause that - clash with the dock , clash with hotcorner triggering perhaps
[11:45] <doomlord> seems intermittent, e.g. if the dock activates the edge-flipping stops working for a little while (fix by manually activating expo)
[11:48] <Jarris> boot stuck becouse /home can not be mounted. pressing "M" and entering "vgchange -ay" solves that. i think it is becouse the secound disk is decryptet by a keyfile, which is placed at disk one.. both disks contain lvm partitions. could anyone help me fixing this? thx in advance

[12:01] <bekks> gnuLix: Dont run sudo su, use sudo -i instead.
[12:02] <gnuLix> bekks: this is the result->
[12:03] <gnuLix> sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
[12:03] <gnuLix> Sorry, try again.
[12:03] <gnuLix> sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
[12:03] <gnuLix> Sorry, try again.
[12:03] <gnuLix> sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
[12:03] <gnuLix> Sorry, try again.
[12:03] <gnuLix> sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
[12:03] <bekks> Then you have to specify an askpass program at least.
[12:03] <bekks> sudo su is a very bad idea, that was my point.
[12:05] <gnuLix> bekks: I am really sorry for the stupid question but how should I specify an askpass program?
[12:09] <bekks> gnuLix: you could use ssh -t to localhost, using pubkey auth.

[12:32] <zxiest> let's say I have ls *.rb and I would like to do something on each of the files, how can I do this? Should I use a pipe | ?
[12:35] <leex_> zxiest: for f in *.rb; do; ... your command goes here...; done
[12:36] <zxiest> leex_:  nothing simpler than that? I remember having seen something as easy as forwarding the output of our command to another
[12:37] <leex_> zxiest: well yes, for that you can use a pipe: (this is a kind of useless example, but:) cat file | grep hello will
[12:38] <leex_> zxiest: maybe you could describe your usecase a bit better
[12:38] <zxiest> I would like to run ruby -Itest [filename goes here] on each file found in: ls test/**/*_test.rb

[12:42] <zxiest> leex_: cool, thanks :-)
[12:42] <bekks> leex_: zxiest: no need for xargs: find ... -exec yourcommand {} \;
[12:42] <leex_> bekks: or that ;)
[12:42] <leex_> there are many ways to handle this
[12:43] <zxiest> bekks: $1 would be the result of find?
[12:43] <bekks> zxiest: No.
[12:43] <bekks> zxiest: {} from the example above is the result of find.
[12:44] <theadmin> $1 normally refers t the first argument of a script.

[12:46] <Jemt> Hi. I just switched from Ubuntu 10.10 to 12.10 on my MacBookPro. Unfortunately my .Xmodmap (http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=WvxBFPku) no longer works. I use it to map the Alt key to my Cmd key. It's like Ubuntu doesn't realize that I release the Cmd key (which is no working as Alt key) when I switch windows with Cmd (Alt) + Tab. Suggestions ?
[12:47] <theadmin> Jemt: Use xev to verify that Cmd emits these keycodes.
[12:47] <Jemt> Well, the window switcher shows up - but it doesn't disappear and open the selected window, when I release the keys
[12:47] <Jemt> theadmin, Ok, trying that
[12:47] <fire> if i am installing ubuntu 12.10 than when ever ubuntu 13.04 is released i have to isntall my system again ?
[12:47] <cfhowlett> fire,  you can direct upgrade
[12:48] <theadmin> fire: Not at all, you can just upgrade from within Ubuntu, it's a click of a button
[12:48] <Seveas> fire: no, that would be too annoying :)
[12:48] <Jemt> theadmin, well, obviously they do. The task/window switcher is displayed. But the key press is not released when I release the keys
[12:48] <john_rambo> I just installed privoxy. I tried modifying /etc/privoxy/config but cant understand what to do
[12:48] <theadmin> Jemt: Oh, huh, that's the weirdest thing ever.
[12:48] <Seveas> john_rambo: have you tried reading the documentation?
[12:48] <fire> so just installing once i am done and i can have that installed system forever  ?
[12:48] <theadmin> fire: Pretty much, until you break it :P
[12:48] <Jemt> theadmin: Yea :-/
[12:49] <Seveas> fire: well, you'll need to upgrade it to the new release every 6 months
[12:49] <fire> theadmin: cool :D
[12:49] <Seveas> fire: or every two years if you stick to LTS versions
[12:49] <fire> theadmin: if i break it there will be a way to fix it right ?
[12:49] <john_rambo> Seveas, Yes. ......... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Privoxy    But I cant find that line
[12:49] <theadmin> fire: Most of the time
[12:49] <DBoyz> Hi. How do I make libreoffice to auto update to it's latest stable version?
[12:49] <fire> that's cool
[12:49] <theadmin> !latest | DBoyz
[12:50] <cfhowlett> fire, not exactly.  you can keep the version you've already installed, you can directly upgrade to the very next version.  If you SKIP a version, you have to install again.  If you want to use ubuntu for the long term, I'd suggest you install the Long Term Support version 12.04.  Covered for 5 years!
[12:50] <john_rambo> Seveas, http://pastebin.com/LtEC76y2
[12:51] <DBoyz> then what should i replace "latest stable version" with?
[12:51] <theadmin> DBoyz: Just use whatever Ubuntu comes with, as long as you keep it up to date via the Update Manager
[12:51] <Jemt> BRB
[12:51] <theadmin> DBoyz: That works fine most of the time. If you *need* some of the 4.x features you can download it from libreoffice.org though.
[12:52] <fire> cfhowlett: than the version of packages that will be available on LTS release are same to the packages on the regular release ?
[12:52] <cfhowlett> DBoyz, if you want the latest, download directly from libre office and install
[12:52] <theadmin> fire: No, packages will be older, but it's usually more stable this way.
[12:52] <Seveas> john_rambo: line 776
[12:52] <fire> theadmin: ok
[12:52] <DBoyz> theadmin: okay. i thought the update manager's coverage doesn't include libreoffice
[12:52] <cfhowlett> fire, no. diffrent packages for different versions.
[12:52] <DBoyz> thanks
[12:52] <theadmin> DBoyz: It includes any apps that come with Ubuntu.
[12:52] <DBoyz> thanks
[12:53] <theadmin> DBoyz: (or those you install through the Software Centre)
[12:53] <Pici> !latest
[12:53] <Seveas> john_rambo: though if you use it just for you, the default is fine too. That change is only needed if you want other computers to use yours as proxy.
[12:55] <Kartagis> hi. how do I determine where my JDK is? this package is telling me to export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk. so I did that and I've verified the path exists but I'm getting an error "Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the pathname of the directory where your JDK is installed.
[12:55] <Kartagis> "
[12:56] <fatninja> ok so, I have a serious problem going on on 12.10. I try to record something with my microphone using audacity, it hears super ok but, there is a irritating noise (the mic isn't the problem because I tested it on a windows computer and worked like a charm)
[12:57] <theadmin> Kartagis: ls -l /etc/alternatives/java will tell you
[12:57] <john_rambo> Seveas, I will be using it just for me.........So I need to uncomment that line ? Which one ? http://pastebin.com/rR8JwG0v
[12:57] <Seveas> john_rambo: if it's just for you, you don't need to make any change
[12:58] <Seveas> john_rambo: just use <IP_ADDRESS> as proxy instead of <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:59] <Kartagis> thanks theadmin
[12:59] <john_rambo> Seveas, Okay ...Iam trying that now in FF
[13:00] <Kartagis> theadmin: same message. should I point to the binary or the folder?
[13:00] <theadmin> Kartagis: Likely to the folder where the java binary is, I'm not too sure
[13:01] <Kartagis> theadmin: same error :S
[13:02] <OerHeks> edu
[13:02] <theadmin> Kartagis: Try the one above it (e.g. /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/ or such)
[13:02] <theadmin> Kartagis: Oh, I think it's /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre :/

[13:03] <john_rambo> Seveas,  I tried that with FF & pages are opeing but my ip is the same. Privoxy  doesnt provide anonymous browsing ? WHat does privoxy do then ?
[13:04] <Kartagis> theadmin: it sure is

Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks.
[13:05] <Kartagis> Seveas: do you happen to have any ideas?
[13:05] <ponke_> begin there, and look up the words/tech. terms you need more info about
