[07:39] <VectorX> hi, is there a definitive guide on getting multiseat working on 12.04, i followed several web tutes,etc but cant seem to get it to work ?
[07:39] <dr_willis> miss_ubuntu_:  i dont think its possible
[07:39] <jolle> I tried editiing webmin to remove text login and only use key, now I can't enter at all.. I'm able to change settings in webmin but no-matter what settings I still can't connect over SSH.. has worked fine for months. What can I do? Re-install SSH??
[07:39] <vampirnata> miss_ubuntu_: it's not possible no
[07:40] <fidel> !webmin > jolle
[07:40] <dr_willis> jolle:  webmin is the sort of thing thats besgt avoided.
[07:40] <vampirnata> miss_ubuntu_: why do you need to?
[07:40] <Nerf_Jihad> miss_ubuntu_: not quite yet, though there's a hardware box in the making for WiFi like what RAID did for HDDs
[07:40] <jolle> dr_willis: to stop using webmin is a easy solution, will SSH recover? I don't understand how that helped me
[07:40] <dr_willis> jolle:  id check what settings have been made in your sshd_config
[07:40] <jolle> thanks dr_willis
[07:41] <dr_willis> jolle:  we have no idea what webmin did to your system. its not supported b y ubuntu
[07:41] <bazhang> !ebox | jolle
[07:45] <Arash> !apache
[07:45] <jolle> dr_willis: so there is no easy way to recovery ssh?
[07:46] <Arash> !tasksel
[07:46] <sw> !msgthebot | Arash
[07:46] <dr_willis> jolle:  purge/reinstall.. and hole webmin dident do some other weird changes...
[07:46] <dr_willis> hope..
[07:46] <dr_willis> hopefully webmin put comments in the configs  where it changed things...
[07:47] <triad> how to partition ubuntu: root as primary with ext3 , swap as logical , /home as ext3 primary - its ok ?
[07:47] <dr_willis> triad:  they could all be primary, or all logicals on an extended. it dosent matter
[07:47] <triad> alright
[07:47] <triad> thx
[07:47] <dr_willis> why are you using ext3 instead of ext4 ?
[07:48] <triad> why ext4 ?
[07:48] <Nerf_Jihad> 'coz it's one better
[07:48] <dr_willis> because its more efficneit and the default for normal installs
[07:48] <LenovoG470> Is there a risk of breaking the OS with the installation of the ATI post-release drivers?
[07:48] <triad> alright. thxd
[07:48] <vampirnata> I've but a SATA hdd that has SMART capability into a USB enclosure and now it seems that the I can't get info using SMART. Is this a limitation of the enclosure or USB?
[07:48] <dr_willis> LenovoG470:  worse case. X wont start. so you remove them via the console..
[07:49] <Nerf_Jihad> vampirnata: the enclosure won't translate low-level stuff like that across a USB. it's basically a mobo emulator with a hotplug USB connection
[07:50] <LenovoG470> dr_willis any safer way aviable
[07:50] <dr_willis> LenovoG470:  thats about as safe as it gets i imagine.
[07:50] <vampirnata> Nerf_Jihad: thank you for the clarification. No way around it then?
[07:50] <dr_willis> i cant even think of any other way at all..
[07:51] <LenovoG470> dr-willis what commands to do
[07:51] <Nerf_Jihad> vampirnata: nope. you'll either have to plug it into a real mobo or cope
[07:51] <jolle> dr_willis: this is what auth.log is giving me. I removed webmin -> Jun 26 09:50:41 cclinux sshd[3894]: error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/publicSSHkeys/authorized_keys Jun 26 09:50:41  sshd[3894]: last message repeated 2 times Jun 26 09:50:41 cclinux sshd[3894]: Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key Jun 26 09:50:41 cclinux sshd[3894]: fatal: No supported key exchange algorithms [preauth]
[07:51] <vampirnata> Nerf_Jihad: alrighty. Thank you :)
[07:51] <Waraudon> I'm using tc (traffic control) on a Ubuntu box acting as a router. What's the best way to persist tc rules through a reboot?
[07:51] <dr_willis> LenovoG470:  use the addational-drivers tool to insgtall the drivers you want. reboot . see if they work.. if not you use the command line, or jockey-text fromthe command line to remove them.
[07:52] <vampirnata> Nerf_Jihad: any idea regarding my previous question about lm-sensors?
[07:52] <dr_willis> !info tc
[07:52] <LenovoG470> dr-=_willis can u point me to where I can read abt the jockey-text
[07:53] <vampirnata> Nerf_Jihad: apparently a USB3 enclosure supports SMART...
[07:53] <Nerf_Jihad> vampirnata: never had much success with the hard sensors in my boxen, sorry. if I'm concerned about heating, I have a laser thermometer
[07:53] <dr_willis> LenovoG470:  man jockey-text  or jockey-text --help    perhaps/
[07:53] <LenovoG470> dr_willis which of these is safre - post-release or normal, no descript in the USC
[07:54] <VectorX> hi, is there a definitive guide on getting multiseat working on 12.04, i followed several web tutes,etc but cant seem to get it to work ?
[07:54] <dr_willis> LenovoG470:  totally depends on your chipset and the version of the drivers.. ive never needed to use the post-release ones
[07:54] <alexmm> Hello is there a way to limit cpu usage of gwibber or python?
[07:54] <Nerf_Jihad> vampirnata: all the ones I've seen that let you plug your own drive into them were pretty simple. Apparently they've gotten better since the last time I bought one
[07:55] <vampirnata> Nerf_Jihad: ahh okay. I'm not too concerned but I was curious about the GPU temp. The board came with a very noisy little fan on the intel GPU. I removed it and put a decent 120mm fan on the outside of the case instead. The CPU temp went from 39degrees to 20degrees, so I hope the gpu temp also decreased :)
[07:55] <kexwork> hey guys, anyone know the correct method to get microemacs(jasspa) up and running with 12.04 LTS?
[07:55] <LenovoG470> dr_willis, any success stories, you heard. I am paranoia abt breaking it, sad.
[07:56] <dr_willis> LenovoG470:  try the drivers and see.. or stick to the gpl drivers.. is about all i can say.
[07:56] <LenovoG470> dr_willis thanks
[07:56] <dr_willis> i have exactly one ati box.. :) rest are nvidia. or intel.
[07:56] <koopa58> Good morning all :) I have a q about logwatch. Everyday I get 404 entries in the httpd section. But it only shows part of the url, and not the IP that made the request for example. How can I find more information?
[07:57] <Nerf_Jihad> vampirnata: what's xsensors say?
[07:58] <vampirnata> Nerf_Jihad: don't have x, running cli.
[07:58] <Nerf_Jihad> then sensors
[07:58] <nocturnal_> should i use startx or xinit?
[07:58] <vampirnata> only coretemp readings. core0 and core1
[07:58] <vampirnata> however the motherboard tech specs say it has more.
[07:59] <vampirnata> running sensors-detect finds another module and loads it but doesn't display anything
[07:59] <Nerf_Jihad> acpi -tf says what?
[08:00] <nocturnal_> should i use startx or xinit?\
[08:00] <vampirnata> Nerf_Jihad: installing it quick
[08:01] <vampirnata> Nerf_Jihad: no output
[08:01] <pentarex> hey guys check this out http://imagebin.org/217939
[08:01] <pentarex> how is this possible is this DDOS attack ?
[08:01] <Nerf_Jihad> lame. unless you're willing to run unsigned / untested code from a BBS, I dunno what to tell you
[08:02] <miss_ubuntu_> pentarex what r u showing here
[08:02] <pentarex> miss_ubuntu_: load average
[08:02] <Nerf_Jihad> pentarex: that looks like a DDOS
[08:03] <miss_ubuntu_> pentarex there is no load  just 0.3 % cpu
[08:03] <Nerf_Jihad> er
[08:03] <Nerf_Jihad> wait
[08:03] <Nerf_Jihad> pentarex: that's a bunch of apache servers, so that's not normal
[08:04] <Nerf_Jihad> how many of them are running now?
[08:05] <pentarex> How I can check is this a DDOS attack ?
[08:05] <hateball> pentarex: are you running something like Drupal on that server?
[08:05] <pentarex> hateball: yes
[08:06] <hateball> pentarex: Well it will spawn new apache processes by default, so you may just have a lot of visitors
[08:07] <pentarex> hateball: and the load average is 200 + ?
[08:07] <pentarex> that is not normal
[08:07] <vampirnata> might be a brute force attempt
[08:08] <hateball> pentarex: oh lol, I totally didnt even see the load :|
[08:09] <vampirnata> pentarex: is it a production server?
[08:09] <pentarex> vampirnata: yes
[08:09] <vampirnata> pentarex: ahh, so you can't take it offline for testing?
[08:09] <pentarex> from netstat i can see this guys has 188  connections <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:10] <vampirnata> it might be more than one guy
[08:10] <vampirnata> 1 ip doesn't mean it's one user
[08:11] <pentarex> vampirnata: how I can disconnect this ip from the server ?
[08:11] <vampirnata> host.deny I think. not too familiar with apache
[08:11] <pentarex> yes but this ip is from city that has 200 peoples population
[08:11] <koopa58> Good morning all :) I have a q about logwatch. Everyday I get 404 entries in the httpd section. But it only shows part of the url, and not the IP that made the request for example. How can I find more information?
[08:11] <aetoxx> How do I run Google Earth on Ubuntu? make-googleearth-package returns an error. Please don't ask which one (because I won't answer).
[08:12] <vampirnata> pentarex: or you could add a rule on your hardware firewall. not sure if both of those require a restart
[08:12] <jpds> aetoxx: Well, that's not very helpful.
[08:12] <aetoxx> jpds, I said that, because it is a stupid question.
[08:12] <vampirnata> err no it's not
[08:13] <aetoxx> Yes, it is in this context.
[08:13] <vampirnata> How do you figure
[08:13] <aetoxx> vampirnata, because it has been in this state for months.
[08:13] <aetoxx> As such, anyone also using it will also have seen the same problem.
[08:14] <DJones> pentarex: Have you looked into this, may be a way of avoiding the problem https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fail2ban
[08:14] <vampirnata> aetoxx: if it's such a common problem, surely google will tell you how to fix it...
[08:15] <ikonia> pentarex: look at the application DJones sent and the "badbot" plugin
[08:15] <aetoxx> vampirnata, it has been reported as bug already in ... 2011.
[08:15] <aetoxx> It appears nobody uses Ubuntu then.
[08:16] <ikonia> aetoxx: are you being silly ? you're in a channel of 1400+ users
[08:16] <aetoxx> ikonia, hanging around in an IRC channel means it doesn't work.
[08:16] <sulaiman> Hi, I would like to install the oracle instant client on ubuntu, I could only find .rpm packages on their site
[08:16] <dr_willis> hmm.. googleearth-package seems to have installed for me just now..
[08:16] <DJones> aetoxx: I've not used it for a while, but I used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth to setup google earth, I didn't have any problems
[08:17] <ikonia> aetoxx: what ?
[08:17] <hateball> pentarex: you could use mod_evasive
[08:17] <aetoxx> ikonia, I would not be here if everything was working properly.
[08:17] <dr_willis> sulaiman:  you could try the 'alien' command to convert it.. but that can be dangerous to the healty of your system
[08:17] <aetoxx> ikonia, would you?
[08:18] <vampirnata> aetoxx: your attirude is why you're not getting anywhere...
[08:19] <nocturnal_> should i use startx or xinit?
[08:19] <ikonia> aetoxx: no-one said everything was working perfectly, you just said no-one used ubuntu
[08:20] <ikonia> aetoxx: if you need help, just ask a question rather than spewing cryptic stuff
[08:20] <pentarex> hateball: I think it is a ddos Attack, I tell this guys to find their own hosting I am not an administrator I am developer :D
[08:20] <dr_willis> nocturnal_:  i tend to make a custome.xinitrc and use startx but it depend son your needs
[08:20] <aetoxx> dr_willis, and yet you didn't verify what I said.
[08:20] <hateball> pentarex: oh ok, well good luck then!
[08:20] <aetoxx> dr_willis, the package installs, but the package installs a package builder which doesn't work.
[08:20] <nocturnal_> dr_willis: where do you put the xinitrc?
[08:20] <pentarex> hateball: thank you :)
[08:20] <dr_willis> nocturnal_:  .xinitrc goes in your home dir
[08:20] <kexwork> nocturnal_: ~/
[08:21] <aetoxx> dr_willis, if you are going to say something works, check that the right thing works.
[08:21] <dr_willis> looks like it built and installed here.. but i cant test- beause im sshed in.
[08:21] <nocturnal_> i've been trying that and startx goes to a black screen and xinit works
[08:21] <kexwork> nocturnal_: use xinit then?
[08:22] <nocturnal_> kexwork: that's what i've been using, but i just am curious why startx won't
[08:22] <aetoxx> I will just use the official Google release, since clearly the Ubuntu packager didn't do his job.
[08:22] <dr_willis> nocturnal_:  what are you trying to acomplish?
[08:23] <nocturnal_> dr_willis: learning and trying to understand why startx wont run but xinit will
[08:23] <caveman> quit
[08:23] <dr_willis> nocturnal_:  both are fancy scripts. you could read through them and see what they are doing i guess.
[08:24] <dr_willis> actually startx may be wanting a .xsession these days.. i recall  linking my .xinitrc to .xsession ages ago for some reason
[08:24] <nocturnal_> see that seems likely
[08:25] <dr_willis> i also recall seeing lightdm have a 'custom user session' on some machines.  not sure what script that one used.
[08:28] <zveda> does anybody use teamviewer 7
[08:28] <VectorX> so is multiseat not promoted anymore ?
[08:29] <dr_willis> VectorX:  actually i saw an artical on how Multiseat works very well in fedora (?) with this multiseat hardware gizmo. saw a review of it. Lightdm also has some multiseat features..
[08:30] <dr_willis> artical stated it was beoing worked on to get ubuntu support to be totally plug and play as well like it was in fedora.
[08:30] <VirtualBlackness> !anybody | zveda
[08:30] <dr_willis> thats the last i heard of multiseat in some time.
[08:30] <dr_willis> I think i bookmarked the artical on http://delicious.com/dr_willis
[08:30] <VectorX> dr_willis i have used it before fine with ubuntu with old versions, but just cant get it setup with lightdm etc, so are you telling me to use fedora then ?
[08:37] <dr_willis> VectorX:  the review i saw  was about ehe 'userful' hardware that was supposubly totally plug and play wuth fedora, they were working on ubuntu support. but i cant find the artical now.  other then that.. ive not  seen mutlseat mentioned in ages
[08:37] <dr_willis> lighdm does have specific options in its configs for multiseat. i recall seeing them in the lightdm config files.
[08:40] <__gilles> hi
[08:40] <__gilles> no more ion in packages ? :-(
[08:41] <dr_willis> how.. vague...
[08:41] <dr_willis> brb
[08:43] <spupuser> does anybody here not like the new graphics in ubuntu?
[08:43] <spupuser> too much like windows 7?
[08:45] <abc-kid> dear all, i have exact same error same pic-id http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11883026 run through no err. but still not wireless
[08:45] <abc-kid> pls help
[08:46] <Wiz_KeeD> i have a lot of problems with wireless as well
[08:46] <Wiz_KeeD> nobody seems to help, maybe the symptomps are too strange
[08:46] <abc-kid> i lost wireless after update yesterday
[08:50] <Kingsy> does ubuntu come with a vpn service already installed?
[08:50] <Kingsy> I am looking to setup a vpn see :)
[08:55] <niklasfi> hi, how can i test something as a certain user? is there a way to log in as somebody on the shell?
[08:55] <silv3r_m00n> in this command  host -t  a apple.com     is it possible to specify a nameserver to query to ?
[08:55] <niklasfi> silv3r_m00n: I don't know, but with dig you can
[08:55] <theadmin> niklasfi: su username
[08:56] <silv3r_m00n> niklasfi: how ? , example ?
[08:56] <niklasfi> theadmin: how would i do that, if the user has no password defined?
[08:57] <niklasfi> silv3r_m00n: it's been a while since i read the man page. I suggest you do the same
[08:57] <theadmin> niklasfi: Hm, you can define a password then. Or just use sudo ("sudo -iu username")
[08:58] <silv3r_m00n> niklasfi: ok
[08:58] <jatt> Kingsy: openvpn
[08:58] <Twinkletoes> quick poll... proftpd or vsftpd as ftp server of choice?
[08:58] <niklasfi> theadmin: id tells me that sudo -ui did not work. i still have the old credentials
[08:59] <Twinkletoes> Kingsy: Have you tried OpenVPN Access Server?
[08:59] <dyd> guys what's a light mail client for ubuntu? not evolution, not thunderbird (something very plain)
[09:00] <Twinkletoes> dyd: Mutt?
[09:00] <theadmin> niklasfi: "-iu", not "-ui". It works here. Before: uid=1000(l) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),50(games),91(video),1002(adbusers), after (with root as an example): uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel),19(log)
[09:00] <Kingsy> it looks like the network manager can do it.. but all the options are greyed out after I try to create a new one.. could it be because I am using it through a vnc server?
[09:00] <Kingsy> and I am not actually at the terminal?>
[09:00] <dyd> Twinkletoes, i'll check it out, thanks
[09:00] <niklasfi> theadmin: sorry that was a typo in the irc. did it correctly in my terminal
[09:01] <hipitihop> nVidia vs ATI , I know everyone has personal preferences, best support and stability on 12.04 ?
[09:01] <Kingsy> Twinkletoes: ^^^^^
[09:01] <niklasfi> theadmin: i can do root as well, but it does not work with the user i want to log in as (though i am shure it exists)+
[09:01] <theadmin> hipitihop: nvidia is known to generally provide more support than AMD.
[09:01] <theadmin> niklasfi: Hm, well, it works with any arbitrary user here as well
[09:02] <Twinkletoes> Kingsy: I can't help you with the network manager, but if you want to create a vpn network and need the server-side, try OpenVPN Access Server
[09:02] <Kingsy> Twinkletoes: does that have a gui?
[09:02] <theadmin> niklasfi: Does the user have a login shell defined?
[09:02] <theadmin> niklasfi: If not, ain't gonna work
[09:02] <Twinkletoes> Kingsy: That's the whole point of the project, yes it does
[09:02] <abc-kid> there is so much pain in ubuntu now. should we abandon it ?
[09:02] <niklasfi> theadmin: /bin/false…
[09:03] <Kingsy> Twinkletoes: wicked..
[09:03] <theadmin> niklasfi: Well, duh -- it logs you out right after you log in pretty much. Change that to bash or something %)
[09:04] <theadmin> niklasfi: If you just want to run a single command as that user, a simplier way may be "sudo -u username your_command args"
[09:05] <niklasfi> theadmin: yay! mpd works. it seems it did not work well with /bin/false
[09:06] <theadmin> niklasfi: Hm, okay
[09:07] <Kartagis> I've enabled cairo-dock. why don't I have alt+tab now? can't I use both?
[09:09] <terminhell> howdy
[09:10] <agoodm> terminhell, hi
[09:11] <terminhell> agoodm: just here to help, how you doin
[09:11] <agoodm> im good thanks
[09:11] <fishbait> how do i make cairo-dock auto-start only in lightdm (gnome-fallback)
[09:12] <terminhell> gnome-session-properties fishbait
[09:12] <terminhell> or "startup applications"
[09:13] <fishbait> hmm i'm using kde so if i disable a startup application it only disables it in that gui?
[09:13] <Kartagis> why is the option "Add a printer" grayed out?
[09:14] <terminhell> user permissions Kartagis
[09:14] <terminhell> fishbait: not sure, dont have much kde experience
[09:14] <terminhell> Kartagis: is there a little padlock icon or an "unlock" button?
[09:15] <Kartagis> terminhell: no
[09:15] <fishbait> in genreal does disabling an startup application only disable it for that specific gui?
[09:15] <dyd> is there any light mail client for ubuntu? not evolution, not mutt, not thunderbird (it's buggy)
[09:15] <terminhell> fishbait: it depends on how your starting a particular gui and what that application depends on to run
[09:15] <fidel> dyd: just curious: how is TB buggy?
[09:15] <terminhell> dyd: sendmail?
[09:15] <fishbait> i select it from log in screen
[09:16] <dyd> fidel, create account button greyed out
[09:16] <dyd> fidel, seems funny but couldn't make it work, and i don't want to waste my day finding the solution
[09:16] <fishbait> dyd: user permissions?
[09:16] <Kartagis> this is stupid with a S
[09:16] <fidel> dyd: afaik that isnt a button but a dropdown-list of actions
[09:16] <fidel> inside: account settings
[09:17] <dyd> http://www.google.it/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=thunderbird+create+account+button+greyed+out&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest
[09:17] <dyd> fidel, i'm talking about the last version
[09:17] <dr_willis> Kartagis:  get back with me in about 4 hrs when im at home and i will check ccsm and compiz and that dock to see if alt-tab works for me.. coul dbe you just need to enable it/map it in the ccsm tool..
[09:18] <fidel> dyd: whatever last version means for you. strange - but ok
[09:18] <fidel> good luck
[09:18] <joachibl> dyd: since you're apparently already using opera, have you tried using its e-mail client as well? i quite like it.
[09:18] <Kartagis> dr_willis: now, there's no option to authenticate so that I can add a user
[09:18] <Kartagis> brb
[09:18] <dr_willis> Ijust do 'sudo adduser username' ;)
[09:19] <dr_willis> brb.. got a job to do..
[09:19] <dyd> fidel, last version = 3.1.3
[09:20] <fidel> dyd: last TB is 13.0.1
[09:20] <dyd> fidel, Lightning 1.0b2 (Thunderbird 3.1.x)
[09:20] <terminhell> Kartagis: do you have a .xinit in your home?
[09:20] <dyd> fidel, that b2 stands for beta? good to know lol
[09:21] <fidel> dyd: thunderbird itself is at v13 still
[09:21] <dyd> i just used apt-get install thunderbird
[09:21] <fidel> so why are you using 3.x?
[09:21] <dyd> it seems to install automatically that version
[09:21] <fidel> lightning 1.5.1 here
[09:21] <fidel> just to give you some other version-strings ;)
[09:22] <dyd> ok let's try again
[09:22] <fidel> mozilla tries to keep TB at same version then Firefox - so its around 13 right now
[09:22] <fidel> dyd: you might start with: apt-cache policy thunderbird
[09:22] <fidel> and tell us your distri version
[09:22] <Sparky1> hey, I have a driver problem...
[09:23] <Sparky1> I use a wireless mouse and keyboard.
[09:23] <Sparky1> but I cant get them to work, as i cant install a driver, because I have the disks, but I dont know how
[09:24] <dyd> fidel, http://pastebin.com/z7B2SENV
[09:24] <terminhell> good luck with that Sparky1, you'll probably need some specific libraries for them, and full functionality may or may not be there
[09:25] <Sparky1> I also cannot get my proper wireless adapter to install
[09:25] <terminhell> what platform are you on?
[09:26] <Sparky1> currently, to talk, I am using windows. im having trouble getting it to work with the Ubuntu 12.04 OS
[09:26] <terminhell> i meant hardware
[09:27] <terminhell> in short, id goolge your hardware + "ubuntu"
[09:27] <Kartagis> funny, lightdm doesn't let me authenticate at all so that I can add a printer
[09:27] <dr_willis> a wireless mouse and keyboard shouldent need any special drivers - unless they are bouetooth. or to just enable special features
[09:27] <terminhell> dont use lightdm Kartagis ?
[09:28] <dr_willis> lightdm wont let you login?
[09:28] <dr_willis> or what does it do exactly
[09:28] <terminhell> dr_willis: how else would you have a wireless keyboard/mouse?
[09:28] <Kartagis> dr_willis: there's no padlock or whatnot to authenticate myself
[09:29] <Sparky1> hardware... motherboard is fine.  AMD athlon 64, Nvidia geforce 6800 graphics card, I use an Asus 802.11b/g network adapter..
[09:29] <dr_willis> terminhell:  all the wireless keyboard/mice ive ever had are usb compatiable- and never needed any exta drivers. they even worked in DOS ;)
[09:29] <dr_willis> Kartagis:  i think you said 'lightdm' when you ment somthing else...
[09:29] <terminhell> Kartagis: does your wireless adapter show up in lspci?
[09:30] <Kartagis> terminhell: I wonder if I am saying it right, I'm talking about the cairo-dock stuff in the list when loginning
[09:30] <Sparky1> and willis, oddly enough mine dont. logitech setpoint, with a little wireless reciever
[09:30] <Kartagis> terminhell: I'm on a desktop, hence no wireless
[09:30] <terminhell> Kartagis: kde should have a startup applications equivilant
[09:30] <dr_willis> Sparky1:   my wireless mouse/keyboard even work in the bios. logitech with the universial mini dongle
[09:31] <Sparky1> yup, willis. my keyboard works in the bios... but not in ubuntu!! >.<
[09:31] <neo1691> bluetooth never works (inbuilt in laptop) please help
[09:32] <uni4dfx> What exactly is the advantage of using UUIDs over partition names?
[09:32] <dr_willis> partition names can change.. uuids shouldent change
[09:32] <dr_willis> !uuid
[09:32] <terminhell> slave/master drives, raid, advanced partitioning uni4dfx
[09:32] <uni4dfx> strange, whenever i resize a partition it gets a new UUID
[09:33] <uni4dfx> while the name stays the same
[09:33] <terminhell> as it should
[09:33] <terminhell> uuid's are like mac addresses
[09:33] <dr_willis> name = label you mean..  You can change the uuid if you want. and it depends on how you resize the filesystem.
[09:34] <dr_willis> tune2fs commmand can change the label, and uuid,. and other special settings
[09:34] <neo1691> when i click Turn On Bluetooth on the panel, it says bluetooth is on, but when i go to bluetooth settings bluetooth button is off and it never starts, i mean i cannot set it to ON.
[09:34] <fidel> dyd: so you got v12 now ...first step
[09:34] <fidel> guess ubuntu 11.04 doesnt offers TBv13 right?
[09:34] <terminhell> neo1691: maybe your user isnt set in the bluetooth group?
[09:34] <uni4dfx> terminhell I mean name = /dev/sdXY
[09:35] <neo1691> terminhell, I am the only user, still i will check
[09:35] <dr_willis> uni4dfx:  those can definatly change...
[09:35] <dr_willis> uni4dfx:  ive seen mbs that make whatgever hd youy boot becaome 'sda' befor  which was really... confuseing
[09:35] <neo1691> I am the administrator,
[09:35] <loparczew> Guys, how to get sources of some applications without administrator's password?
[09:36] <uni4dfx> dr_willis that's a good point, i can see how UUIDs could come in handy in this case
[09:36] <terminhell> neo1691: run 'groups' first, then maybe cat /etc/group |cut -d: -f1
[09:36] <fidel> loparczew: how is getting source of specific apps related with having root-privileges at all?
[09:37] <dr_willis> uni4dfx:  add in usb devices which jump around..   you can also mount based on Filesystem Label - which is kind of nifty.
[09:37] <fidel> locate the projects version-management and check out the source you are looking for
[09:38] <cosmic> loparczew: you can use sudo ithink too get root
[09:38] <dr_willis> i thought the apt-get system had a way to download the source package to the current directgory. but if the -src repos are not enabled.. that may not work
[09:39] <fidel> yep
[09:39] <cosmic> loparczew: something like supo apt-get install whatever
[09:39] <cosmic> loparczew: something like sudo apt-get install whatever
[09:39] <fidel> afaik: apt-get source PACKAGENAME
[09:39] <neo1691> terminhell, after running groups i get this adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare bumblebee jupiter
[09:40] <fidel> loparczew: but if you cant use apt - just use the web & cli to checkout whatever project - as long as the repo is public
[09:40] <kanliot> on macs with efi booting:  These can't run ubuntu, without hax, right?
[09:41] <theadmin> kanliot: You'll need the EFI version of Grub... But I think that's about it
[09:41] <fidel> kanliot: not sure what you mean - in the past the 'hack' was using refit to have some kind of useable boot-manager afterwards
[09:41] <dr_willis> is 'refit' a hack?   :)
[09:41] <dr_willis> !info refit
[09:41] <fidel> its software ;)
[09:41] <terminhell> neo1691: hmm, not sure, seems like your missing something ya need then, id run an apt-cache search bluetooth for something
[09:42] <loparczew> Thanks.
[09:43] <kanliot> thanks for help, i guess i need a mac to understand mac booting
[09:43] <fidel> kanliot: try asking in ##mac
[09:43] <terminhell> or BSD kanliot haha
[09:43] <dr_willis> makes me wonder why  they made the booting so complex on them. ;)
[09:43] <neo1691> terminhell, there is a big list with everything that matches to bluetooth, but i see one gnome-bluetooth
[09:43] <theadmin> kanliot: Simply install the grub-efi package and you should be good to go (I think. Might need to re-run grub-install -- I'm not sure about how well Ubuntu automates this.)
[09:44] <fidel> kanliot: the mac channel has at least 2-3 technical users which should know efi and the booting scenario quite well - or consider searching for hackintosh - which is the area where ppl discuss macs & booting etc as well
[09:44] <terminhell> neo1691: go for it? at te very worst you end up uninstalling it
[09:44] <dr_willis> !bluetooth
[09:45] <kanliot> i just need to know what it involves, when I try and get mac people to use ubuntu
[09:45] <neo1691> terminhell, i am actually using unity.. dr_willis !buethooth??
[09:45] <dr_willis> mac people normally use macs because of the mac apps they cant live without. ;)
[09:45] <theadmin> kanliot: Mac people are Mac people. You can't get them to use *anything*
[09:45] <fidel> kanliot: my personal hint: in case someone gets apple HW - use the apple SW as well. everything else is a big mess ...at least in details
[09:46] <fidel> kanliot: spending time and effort to make them using something else is more or less wasting time - nor will it easily work
[09:47] <terminhell> l8r all
[09:47] <fidel> kanliot: best way offering them an easy first look & feel into linux is running some kind of virtual machine inside osx. This reduces the install/setup husstle as well - as you dont need to mess with efi, partitions etc
[09:48] <fidel> virtualbox, vmware fusion or parallels should all do the vm-job quite well. Have fun
[09:48] <dingz> fidel:  have u tried using a mac with retina display w/ ubuntu?
[09:49] <fidel> dingz: i dont buy macs nomore
[09:49] <dingz> the mac people [tm] tell me it doesn't work
[09:49] <dingz> but i want to find out once it gets here
[09:49] <dingz> fidel: ok alright
[09:49] <fidel> dingz: well you'll easily find articles talking about retina and the effects it will have on linux-setups
[09:50] <fidel> it least i've seen one those days the last retina device was published
[09:50] <neo1691> I installed both nome-bluetooth and bluetooth, no success
[09:51] <fidel> dingz: a first starting point maybe: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/06/what-does-ubuntu-look-like-on-a-retina-display-bad
[09:51]  * dingz clicks and reads
[09:54] <dingz> hehe, looks small
[09:54] <dingz> but i'm sure someone will fix it
[09:55] <Kingsy> Twinkletoes: you still there?
[09:55] <Twinkletoes> Kingsy: Yup
[09:57] <Kingsy> Twinkletoes: I installed that vpn package you mentioned + build-utils but when I start the application it says "Error: you don't have build-utils installed" why would that be ?
[09:58] <Twinkletoes> Kingsy: Please join #openvpn-as
[09:58] <Twinkletoes> Kingsy: I'll help you there
[09:59] <jolle> ssh-1 vs ssh-2 key?? ssh-1 key is alot more encrypted thats why I choose it but now when I read I wonder if it gives more security, any inputs?
[10:01] <ivosq> anyone  got any tip on good data transformation software for 12.04?
[10:01] <MonkeyDust> ivosq  what kind of data?
[10:02] <ivosq> .csv, json, xml
[10:03] <MonkeyDust> ivosq  start from the beginning, what do you want to do, what have you done and tried before you came here
[10:03] <Womkes> ivosq, maybe talend?
[10:03] <xubuntu> hola,estoy el en menu de instalacion de ubuntu y cuando escojo el usb como disco a usar me dice No se definió un sistema de ficheros raíz Por favor, corrija esto en el menú de particionado.
[10:03] <MonkeyDust> !es
[10:04] <Womkes> no no no, ubuntu no here
[10:04] <Womkes> mr. ubuntu no here
[10:05] <MuH4hA> jolle: ssh is a protocol, not a hash-algorithm. You sure, we are not talking about sha-1 / sha-2 ? Also, how do you come to the conclusion that version 1 is "more encrypted" ?
[10:05]  * dr_willis rot13's his key.. is it even moar encrypted now?
[10:06] <ivosq> im working with made up medical data that different companies provide. I extract the different data from different servers but I get the data in xml, json and csv. Im just wondering if there is a software that can manipulate and transform between these 3
[10:06] <ivosq> otherwise i might just code a parser in python using SAX
[10:07] <dr_willis> by transform.. you mean convert.
[10:07] <ivosq> oh yeah sry
[10:07] <ivosq> convert*
[10:07] <theadmin> ivosq: Do that -- there's no big problem with writing a little script/program to convert between plain formats like those
[10:07] <dr_willis> python, perl, sed, awk, ;)
[10:07] <ivosq> Ok I will :)
[10:08] <ivosq> thanks!
[10:08] <peni_> hello, I chowned a file, but I still get permission denied when trying to cat it. what am I doing wrong?
[10:08] <graingert_ufo> why does virtualbox-guest-additions depend on virtualbox-qt
[10:08] <dr_willis> peni_:  ls -l thefile    whats its full permissions
[10:08] <theadmin> peni_: What's the actual mode of that file?
[10:09] <graingert_ufo> it seems a bit mad wanting the vbox guest additions I have to have the actual VM
[10:09] <peni_> theadmin: dunno what mode is, but it's one of those weird files in /sys/kernel/
[10:09] <dr_willis> peni_:  ls -l thefile    and show us..
[10:10] <graingert_ufo> peni_: yeah don't mess about with that
[10:10] <theadmin> peni_: Ah, sysfs... It's special, don't mess with that unless you're sure what you're doing... I think only root has access to that anyway
[10:10] <dr_willis> and what are you trying to do wwith the file?
[10:10] <morri> I get 'load detected on head A' in dmesg and also my resolution is wrong and I can't force it into the right one- any clue where the 'load detected' comes from?
[10:10] <peni_> dr_willis: -rwxr-xr-x 1 peni root 0 etc.
[10:11] <dr_willis> the files name is 'etc.' ?
[10:11] <graingert_ufo> peni_: what's the filename and path
[10:12] <peni_>  /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch (sorry, failing to copy from terminal)
[10:12] <dr_willis> if you want to alter the contents of the file. you should be using sudo to do so. not trying to change its ownership.
[10:13] <dr_willis> which will get reset on the next reboot anyway
[10:13] <peni_> dr_willis: I know, I chown it in rc.local, but why doesn't it work?
[10:15] <dr_willis> i would bet its somthing to do with it being part of /sys/ but lets ask why you are trying to change it.. and do what with it exacatgly?
[10:16] <peetaur> If my goal is to get logs when systems crash, can I use a regular TCP/UDP syslog server, or do I need to use a serial console logger?
[10:17] <testi> Is it a known bug, that user-interface of unity behaves non-deterministic?
[10:17] <peni_> dr_willis: well, not really relevant, but since you ask, I downloaded a script to change the active gfx card, and it requires reading from and writing to this file...
[10:17] <testi> e.g.: If i press the super key an odd number of times the dash doesn't show up necessarily
[10:18] <dr_willis> so if you run the script with sudo. or run it as root from rc.local it shouldhave access
[10:18] <dr_willis> gotta run.. quitting time..
[10:18] <peni_> dr_willis: yeah, I know but it needs to be run as  user for some parts of the script
[10:22] <theadmin> graingert_ufo: virtualbox-guest-additions-iso depends on virtualbox which depends on virtualbox-qt.
[10:22] <theadmin> graingert_ufo: However, since the guest additions are nothing but a plain ISO file, you can easily grab the .deb from packages.ubuntu.com and extract it.
[10:23] <ross> how do I make sure ubuntu always boots in verbose mode?
[10:23] <ross> and shuts down in verbose mode?
[10:23] <graingert_ufo> theadmin: why does the iso dep on vbox-qt?
[10:23] <graingert_ufo> ross: grub config
[10:23] <ross> and how do I get rid of that horrible pink screen before
[10:23] <ross> right
[10:23] <theadmin> graingert_ufo: Because it depends on virtualbox, but that's just packaging problems. Contact the package mantainers I guess
[10:23] <ross> I'll get the file open
[10:24] <hellyeah> hey
[10:24] <hellyeah> which version of photoshop work best on ubuntu
[10:24] <ross> where the hell is grub config
[10:24] <theadmin> hellyeah: Photoshop is a Windows problem.
[10:24] <ross> is it /etc?
[10:25] <ross> lol probably /boot
[10:25] <theadmin> ross: /etc/grub.d/ and /etc/default/grub
[10:25] <hellyeah> theadmin:
[10:26] <hellyeah> i saw a lot of link about working photoshop on ubuntu
[10:26] <theadmin> hellyeah: You can check #winehq, http://winehq.org and such for running the Windows apps on Linux. However, it's not something that's supported in this channel.
[10:26] <peetaur> ross: don't forget "updage-grub" after editing those files
[10:27] <peetaur> *update-grub
[10:28] <MonkeyDust> !appdb| hellyeah
[10:28] <ross> whats a graphical terminal?
[10:29] <ross> it says uncommment if you want to disable the graphical terminal
[10:29] <SirEarl> hiya folks
[10:30] <Varazir> Hi, Can you remove the MOTD from just on user ?
[10:30] <graingert_ufo> who owns http://archive.ubuntu.com/ ?
[10:31] <blackshirt> i think canonical :d
[10:31] <Varazir> one*
[10:32] <SirEarl> anybody here use ubuntu studio?
[10:32] <graingert_ufo> who maintains http://archive.ubuntu.com/ ?
[10:33] <blackshirt> maybe
[10:33] <blackshirt> I'm not
[10:33] <blackshirt> Graingert_ufo, what you want exactly?
[10:33] <graingert_ufo> to talk to them
[10:33] <graingert_ufo> about things
[10:35] <blackshirt> Graingert_ufo, maybe there are email contact on their site
[10:35] <Varazir> I found /etc/update-motd.d/ but it's general scripts
[10:36] <diverdude> How do i install cpufreq and scaling_available_governors ?
[10:37] <MonkeyDust> graingert_ufo  in a terminal, try whois [url]
[10:38] <Effex> Why, when I add a user to a group using "usermod -a -G username" and then use "groups" to check the group of the user (that I'm logged in as) does the recently added group not display, but when I use "groups username" it does?
[10:40] <notze> hey guys
[10:40] <notze> serious question in my test vm 12.04 precise ialways get errors with aptitude: either 404 or invalid header and adn
[10:40] <notze> what can be the reason
[10:41] <notze> size is invalid
[10:41] <notze> all the time something diffrent
[10:41] <theadmin> Effex: Log out and back in for changes to take effects properly.
[10:41] <Effex> Thanks. I'll give that a try.
[10:44] <jluc> hello
[10:45] <bent-stack> Anyone know if there are Virtual machines (resources) available for retesting bugs for Ubuntu - I only have two laptops that don't have the  grunt to dive multiple virtual machines - all at different builds
[10:45] <bent-stack> Thanks
[10:46] <Effex> Thanks, theadmin. Worked perfectly now.
[10:46] <jluc> i have no sound on fresh insall of ubuntu on HP Pavilion DV6. cat /proc/asound/version displays "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24." instead of 1.0.25. Should i follow  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1681577 ???
[10:46] <MonkeyDust> jluc  in a terminal type alsamixer, MM means mute
[10:46] <theadmin> Effex: Any modifications to user accounts normally require logging out/in.
[10:47] <hellyeah> hey
[10:47] <hellyeah> is there software on ubuntu like photoshop except gimp
[10:48] <MonkeyDust> hellyeah  gimp is the closest to photoshop
[10:48] <Effex> Thanks for the info. The confusion arose with being able to see it with the groups command when I used my username instead of no argument. Will keep it in mind in future.
[10:48] <hellyeah> can i make a logo on gimp
[10:49] <theadmin> Effex: I kind of understand why that happens, but can't really explain it
[10:49] <jluc> i dont see no "MM" with alsamixer, MonkeyDust , but 100 for master speaker (and 00 on green background just the previous line)
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> hellyeah  over 80 users in #gimp, better ask there
[10:50] <hellyeah> sure
[10:50] <hellyeah> sorry

[11:06] <notze> if i do apt-get update i get several error messages and i never runs threw
[11:06] <Sparky1> *headdesk* cannot get any drivers to show up in additional drivers, and I cannot use even a USB mouse to move the cursor in ubuntu
[11:06] <MonkeyDust> Sparky1  what's headdesk?
[11:07] <Sparky1> *hitting your head on the desk in frustration, MonkeyDust
[11:07] <MonkeyDust> Sparky1  please calm down
[11:08] <chuxxsss> Sparky1, , listen to MonkeyDust  you will be fine
[11:08] <elky> notze, try doing update before installing
[11:09] <Sparky1> I am calm, just in despair. seeing as I am having so many problems (to think that before I wiped my hard drive and started xp over, i couldnt even access Ubuntu), now I am just having trouble getting drivers for a wireless mouse and keyboard, to work, and having trouble getting the wireless card to work.
[11:12] <|Long|> hi, if i want to cp everthing inside one folder to another what is the right cmd to do this?
[11:13] <graingert_ufo> |Long|: nautilus

[11:14] <MonkeyDust> |Long|  cp * from to
[11:14] <antarus> are those not launchpad bugs?
[11:15] <|Long|> MonkeyDust, thanks
[11:17] <notze> elky how do you mean, what shall i update?
[11:17] <elky> notze, aptitude update
[11:18] <Somelauw> When running aptitude it suggests a lot of removals. Since I am not sure what each of those packages does, I would rather check it with you. Unfortunately I don't know a way to export a list of changes in either aptitude or synaptic.
[11:18] <Sparky1> right.. seeing as I have multiple questions... im going to start with... no drivers appear.  I cannot connect my wireless keyboard and mouse.
[11:19] <notze> elky doing apt-get update i get those errors
[11:19] <notze> thats the problem

[11:20] <morri> If I wanted to change my nvidia driver to the proprietary one - which one would I have to take(I have got geforce2 MX)
[11:21] <elky> morri, what ones does Additional Drivers give you the choice of?
[11:23] <morri> hm I only had a look at the website of nvidia so far- do I need to install some GUI first?
[11:24] <ariyan_> ariyan_
[11:25] <elky> morri, no. You need to go to the dash and type Additional Drivers and you should get an icon that looks like a pci card and a lock
[11:26] <morri> ok it is starting
[11:26] <elky> it might take a while to load, it has to check lots of information
[11:27] <morri> okay it says no proprietary drovers are in use on this system
[11:28] <elky> does it show any choices you can use?
[11:28] <morri> no
[11:28] <elky> There might not be anything available for your card then.
[11:29] <Conradzz> Whats up?
[11:30] <elky> morri, is there a specific problem you're wanting the proprietary driver to solve?
[11:30] <morri> yes
[11:30] <morri> I posted it earlier
[11:31] <Conradzz> So, I'm getting hard freezes randomly it seems now, anyone care to see if they can help?
[11:31] <elky> morri, can you repeat it now for me, i can't find it
[11:31]  * rymate1234 is making a ubuntu notes app
[11:31] <morri> right must have been in the other channel- ok I have got a resolution problem
[11:31] <morri> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2010849
[11:32] <notze> elky: deb http://security.ubuntu.com 404 not found ip:<IP_ADDRESS> 80
[11:33] <morri> for some reason- the pc doesnt get the right resolution anymore and every time i do something with resolution it has this "Load detected on head A" message
[11:34] <Conradzz> Anyone wanna help me with some hard freezes?
[11:35] <fidel> !ask > Conradzz
[11:35] <fidel> !details > Conradzz
[11:36] <Conradzz> I've got a Asus netbook, that I've tried to get running at least somewhat stable, but it seems it just wants to freeze
[11:36] <Conradzz> I installed ubuntu 12.04 on it to begin with, and updated completely, then I would get hard freezes within a few seconds of hitting the login screen
[11:37] <Conradzz> so I uninstalled it, reinstalled, and chose not to install any updates, and it ran fine for a while
[11:37] <Conradzz> until one day, out of the blue it started freezing on me again at login
[11:37] <Conradzz> so I decided to update and upgrade the system, that got it working for about a few hours, then it started randomly freezing
[11:38] <Conradzz> I've tried proprietary drivers, and non-proprietary
[11:38] <maedox> Conradzz: Did you try to change to Ubuntu 2D or Gnome on the login screen?
[11:39] <Conradzz> heres one thing, at the moment, I can login, open up firefox, and go to youtube, watch a movie for a few seconds and then it hard freezes on me
[11:39] <Conradzz> and no I didn't not try that maedox
[11:39] <fidel> how do you define hardfreeze Conradzz?
[11:39] <elky> notze, what version are you trying to get updates for?
[11:40] <Conradzz> hard, as in nothing happens, no caps lock key blinking, no cursor moving
[11:40] <fidel> Conradzz: can you i.e. ssh in at that moment?
[11:40] <IronIron> hey, I need some help getting blender to run
[11:40] <Conradzz> honestly fidel, I would have no idea how to do that, I'm still fairly new to linux
[11:40] <IronIron> so I'm using ubuntu studio 12.04, it comes with blender 2.62, that runs just fine
[11:40] <IronIron> but I just downloaded and extracted the linux version of blender 2.63 from the official blender site
[11:41] <IronIron> I can't get it to run
[11:41] <morri> any  idea elky?
[11:41] <IronIron> I went to the directory in terminal and typed blender into console, I just get 2.62 launching
[11:41] <fidel> IronIron: personaly i would stick to SW coming via apt or ppa (in case you trust it)
[11:41] <elky> morri, no sorry. your card is very old :-/
[11:41] <fidel> manually installing software sounds like the beginning of the end
[11:41] <IronIron> it's from the official blender.org site
[11:41] <theadmin> IronIron: "blender" will refer to blender in your $PATH. Try "./blender" or "/path/to/directory/blender" instead.
[11:41] <IronIron> okay, so how do I change that?
[11:42] <morri> my pc 10 years old..
[11:42] <theadmin> IronIron: Change what?
[11:42] <Conradzz> so, I just loaded up by clicking Ubuntu 2d, opened firefox went to a youtube video, dragged the play bar, and it froze again
[11:42] <IronIron> or at least get blender 2.63 launching
[11:42] <IronIron> I want to launch blender 2.63
[11:42] <theadmin> IronIron: Well I just pointed out how to launch what you downloaded :/
[11:42] <IronIron> hmm, didn't see the ./
[11:42] <IronIron> I shall try that
[11:43] <IronIron> permission denied
[11:43] <DJones> morri: I used to have a geforce2 card, I've not used it for a few years, from memory I stopped using it because it was no longer supported in the official nvidia drivers, it would only work with vesa or the nouveau driver, but with both of those, I could get 1600*1200 resolutions, just no special effects
[11:43] <maedox> Conradzz: does it still freeze if you don't use flash in a web browser? e.g. normal browsing, or you could test HTML5 on youtube by at youtube.com/html5
[11:43] <theadmin> IronIron: That's odd... Let me try it here
[11:44] <IronIron> http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/
[11:44] <IronIron> that's where i got it from, I got 2.63 64 bit for linux
[11:44] <Conradzz> I'll give it a go maedox, I have tried html5 on this netbook before and its basically unwatchable
[11:44] <morri> i don't need no special effects and it used to work perfectly till now when it starts acting up
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> morri  try ubuntu classic (fallback), no whistles and bells
[11:45] <maedox> Conradzz: doesn't matter, if it works, flash might be the culprit.
[11:45] <morri> I am on lubuntu actually *cough*
[11:45] <remontees> Can I use the proposed source whithout dangers ?
[11:45] <ismail_213213> Hi!
[11:45] <remontees> Hi !
[11:45] <LjL> remontees: no
[11:46] <snigil> HI！
[11:46] <remontees> Why LjL ?
[11:46] <LjL> remontees: proposed is for testers, may easily break
[11:46] <remontees> the PPA are more stables ?
[11:46] <Conradzz> just opened up firefox maedox, and it froze before the page even loaded
[11:46] <ismail_213213> Hi!
[11:46] <theadmin> IronIron: That version works great here.
[11:46] <LjL> remontees: PPA stability varies widely, since they're all made by different people
[11:46] <IronIron> howd you launch it?
[11:46] <amal_> when opening in libraoffice print preview it exits why?
[11:46] <IronIron> maybe it's the folder I put it in
[11:46] <thothstriangle> hello
[11:46] <remontees> Because I'm using Firefox Beta (I've register the PPA), and it works great
[11:46] <IronIron> I put it on a separate hard drive
[11:47] <IronIron> and you're sure it's not just launching 2.62 instead of the 2.63
[11:47] <remontees> But the packages in proposed are all stables but not securised for Ubuntu ?
[11:47] <thothstriangle> who would know how to remove a ssh key from ubuntu and if i do will it still connect ok?
[11:47] <theadmin> IronIron: Just extracted the archive with "tar xf blender-blah-blah.tar.bz2", then "cd blender-blah-blah" and "./blender"
[11:47] <Conradzz> this time I didn't get past the login screen of ubuntu maedox
[11:47] <IronIron> hmm, I shall try again
[11:48] <remontees> IronIron, apt-get install blender
[11:48] <IronIron> nar, I need 2.63
[11:48] <ismail_213213> i will get a backup with clonezilla of my ext4 ubuntu 12.04 parttition. it is possible to get this backup to work on another computer (with bigger partittion)?
[11:48] <maedox> Conradzz: does ctrl+alt+f1 work?
[11:48] <LjL> remontees: the program version may be considered stable, but the package itself might break. you probably don't want to end up with a non-working APT
[11:48] <IronIron> the only version on the repository is 2.62 as far as IU know
[11:48] <Conradzz> one thing I have noticed, sometimes ubuntu loads weird, for instance most times I get a clean looking ubuntu logo with dots turning orange
[11:48] <IronIron> bash: ./blender: Permission denied
[11:49] <remontees> LjL, it's sure : but it's so dangerous ????
[11:49] <Conradzz> sometimes it tells me cryptswap isn't ready or loaded yet
[11:49] <fidel> IronIron: as mentioned before ...there are ppa's for blender
[11:49] <LjL> remontees: if it weren't dangerous, they wouldn't be in a separate repository for testers, don't you think?
[11:49] <IronIron> ppas?
[11:49] <fidel> !ppa > IronIron
[11:49] <Conradzz> no maedox I can't hit Ctrl + Alt + F1
[11:50] <remontees> LjL, I want to use Debian Wheezy
[11:50] <Lartza> Formatted my ipod to ext4 and df -h tells me 551M in use :/
[11:50] <remontees> because Ubuntu is not up to date
[11:50] <remontees> Firefox beta is very good
[11:50] <maedox> Conradzz: messages about crypt doesn't necessarily mean anything, just that it's not finished preparing it for mount. Slow computer perhaps...
[11:50] <IronIron> well isn't that what this is?
[11:50] <Conradzz> ya its a netbook maedox
[11:50] <remontees> And Ubuntu has packages that I don't use
[11:50] <LjL> remontees: so remove them?
[11:50] <remontees> can i uninstall xterm or xdiagnose ???
[11:50] <maedox> Conradzz: OK, do you have a live CD or USB stick you can try? See if the same happens with that.
[11:51] <LjL> remontees: you probably can. try, and before you hit "Yes", look at what else is going to be removed with them.
[11:51] <maedox> Not sure how, but we need to see some logs like /var/log/syslog and dmesg|tail to make any sense of it.
[11:51] <remontees> Uh LjL ???
[11:51] <remontees> I can't understand...
[11:51] <maedox> Conradzz: Might be failing hardware. Hard to say with no error messages to go on.
[11:51] <ismail_213213> i will get a backup with clonezilla of my ext4 ubuntu 12.04 parttition. it is possible to get this backup to work on another computer (with bigger partittion)? ıf i boot Ubuntu, it will open properly?
[11:52] <LjL> remontees: apt-get will tell you what packages will be removed when you try to remove a package. if it says only xterm (for example) will be removed, it's ok, if it says many packages will be removed, it's not ok
[11:52] <Conradzz> its a fairly brand new computer maedox
[11:52] <maedox> Conradzz: Do you have another computer you can use to SSH into the netbook?
[11:52] <remontees> apt-get tell me none !
[11:52] <remontees> sorry, I'm french, and I try do speak with a good english
[11:52] <Conradzz> I don't know how to ssh I'm still fairly new to all this maedox
[11:53] <maedox> ok, but you do have another device you can use?
[11:53] <LjL> remontees: i've just tried removing xterm; it's fine, it only removes xterm.
[11:53] <Conradzz> I have a windows pc, ya I'm on it right now
[11:53] <IronIron> nar I just keep getting permission denied
[11:53] <remontees> But xdiagnose ????
[11:53] <LjL> remontees: if it says: "The following packages will be REMOVED:  xterm" then it's good. if it says: "The following packages will be REMOVED:  xterm anotherpackage thirdpackage manymorepackages" it's not good
[11:53] <remontees> What are this packages ???
[11:54] <maedox> apt-get install openssh-server on the netbook, then download putty on the windows and use that to connect
[11:54] <Conradzz> just tried my usb with Ubuntu on it, and it froze on the logo page
[11:54] <LjL> remontees: xdiagnose is a program to help you if X stops working. you probably want to keep it.
[11:54] <remontees> And an other thing strange : when I try to install Kdenlive, Ubuntu wants me to install KDE !!!!
[11:54] <IronIron> well obviously, I have permissions problems with terminal
[11:54] <remontees> LjL, yes, but why this program is in the menu principal ?
[11:55] <IronIron> how do i fix it?
[11:55] <LjL> remontees: are you sure it doesn't just want you to install the KDE *libraries*?
[11:55] <Conradzz> I'll give it a try maedox, to be honest I'm about to the point of just tossing linux to the side, I've wanted to learn it quite a bit, but it just seems theres always problems
[11:55] <remontees> kde common...
[11:55] <ismail_213213> i will get a backup with clonezilla of my ext4 ubuntu 12.04 parttition. it is possible to get this backup to work on another computer (with bigger partittion)? ıf i boot Ubuntu, it will open properly?
[11:56] <fidel> ismail_213213: clonezilla just heavily dislikes smaller target-partitionsd
[11:56] <LjL> remontees: it's normal for KDE programs to need a whole lot of KDE libraries
[11:56] <fidel> having bigger targets shouldnt be an issue
[11:56] <maedox> Conradzz: Usually there might be small issues, but normally easy to fix. It seems you have been very unlucky. Freezes like that are very uncommon.
[11:56] <Conradzz> ya, I've been in this chat probably 3-4 times in the past 6 months, everyone tells me its my fault in the end
[11:57] <maedox> Conradzz: If you get in the netbook via putty, you should tail -f /var/log/syslog and see if it writes something useful.
[11:57] <ikonia> you won't see anything
[11:57] <ikonia> as if it's freezing it won't be able to write
[11:57] <ismail_213213> fidel: ok i know. but i don't know if ubuntu 12 will start properly because it will be on another machine. driver problems etc... ?!
[11:57] <Conradzz> installing openssh on the netbook now
[11:58] <maedox> ikonia: we might get lucky and get something useful. Worth a shot.
[11:58] <ikonia> maedox: why ?
[11:58] <Conradzz> netbook froze trying to install it
[11:58] <remontees> when I go to packages.debian, Kdenlive don't require kde-common !!!
[11:58] <ikonia> maedox: if it's locking there is no capability to write
[11:58] <theadmin> remontees: Debian packages are different and are called differently.
[11:59] <Conradzz> would it work if I boot into recovery, drop into root, mount the disk, enable wifi, then install openssh?
[11:59] <maedox> ikonia: so what do you suggest?
[11:59] <remontees> theadmin, it's a reason that I want to use Debian Testing
[11:59] <ikonia> maedox: following through the install process, looking for errors, verifying hardware compatability, verifying hardware stability, numerous choices to follow
[11:59] <theadmin> remontees: Kdenlive will still want KDE libs, be it called "kde-common", or something else.
[12:01] <remontees> theadmin, the last time I've installed Kdenlive, I was able to use KDE.
[12:01] <theadmin> remontees: Okay, I don't see how that's a problem?
[12:02] <remontees> I don't want to have KDE environnement !!!
[12:02] <theadmin> remontees: Why not?
[12:02] <theadmin> remontees: You don't have to use it.
[12:02] <remontees> because I don't want
[12:02] <remontees> It's fat on my disk
[12:03] <remontees> 100 GO de HDD
[12:11] <fidel> remontees: well ask yourself then what is more important - using an app which might depend on something big - or not using it and having more free disk space
[12:13] <remontees> fidel, it's sure :)
[12:16] <bluenemo_> hi guys, in 12.04, where can i find stuff like /dev/.udev/block/db/block/sda to get information like ID_SERIAL and infos about the block device? i found /sys/block/sda/foobar but i couldnt find something with the devices exact name and serial number and so on, where can i look for that?
[12:20] <alankila> bluenemo_: cat /proc/scsi/scsi
[12:20] <alankila> it might be elsewhere, also try lshw
[12:20] <Conradzz> ok maedox, I've ssh'd into the netbook
[12:22] <bluenemo_> alankila, i need the plain file (cant use a tool), thx for the proc hint, also not as much as i was hoping for in it :/
[12:22] <Conradzz> anyone think they can help me with hardfreezes on my ubuntu 12.04 install
[12:22] <alankila> whatever. It's almost definitely there in /sys
[12:22] <alankila> but IDK where
[12:22] <Conradzz> it seems to be freezing randomly now
[12:22] <bluenemo_> i thought so :)
[12:23] <sambagirl> i was wondering when you have a server with say 6 drives in it, and you load the server, is the space contiguous or is it broken up in partitions or what happens with it? can you make it one continuous drive with all drives being added like lego things? understand my question?
[12:23] <ikonia> sambagirl: depends, you set it up how you want
[12:23] <alankila> sambagirl: technically possible, by default all separate
[12:24] <soee> hi, can i found some shutdown logs ? my machine just shutdown and i have no idea why
[12:24] <alankila> sambagirl: you might want to look into RAID0, RAID5 or RAID6 to understand some common technologies of fusing collection of drives into a larger whole
[12:24] <sambagirl> alakila is the software intelligent to know that data is stored on different drives?
[12:24] <alankila> sambagirl: I pre-empted your question. Study the RAID modes a bit.
[12:25] <sambagirl> ok thanks alankila i guess i am forced to investigate this mysterious raid business.
[12:25]  * MonkeyDust was thinking about raid, too
[12:25] <sambagirl> what about lvm?
[12:25] <sambagirl> i asked the question in centos just out of curiosity
[12:26] <alankila> lvm, or device-mapper, is one way to allocate space from collection of physical drives also.
[12:26] <alankila> I suppose most serious people use lvm (dm) and raid (md) together, although I have avoided using lvm so far
[12:27] <remontees> exit
[12:29] <spicaaay> hi
[12:29] <chuxxsss> time to go
[12:29] <spicaaay> hello?
[12:29] <spicaaay> can anyone help with wiping a HDD/
[12:30] <theadmin> spicaaay: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
[12:30] <spicaaay> put into terminal?
[12:30] <alankila> spicaaay: hold on a moment. What is the purpose of the wipe?
[12:30] <theadmin> spicaaay: Yes. But you need to do it from a livecd or something -- definetly NOT from an installed system.
[12:30] <spicaaay> wanting to install win7
[12:31] <theadmin> spicaaay: If you want to install another OS, you can just use this OS' installer to wipe everything.
[12:31] <alankila> spicaaay: you don't need to "wipe". All you do is plop in the windows install media and remove partitions and let windows install on the unpartitioned space
[12:31] <theadmin> spicaaay: Windows 7 is not an exception.
[12:31] <Conradzz> how would I uninstall my current graphics driver via terminal?
[12:31] <theadmin> Conradzz: That depends on what the driver is to be honest.
[12:31] <spicaaay> when i put the cd in and select boot from cd, it doesnt do anything
[12:32] <Conradzz> I'm not 100% sure, I just want to get this working, its gotta be the graphics driver
[12:32] <theadmin> Conradzz: What's your problem?
[12:32] <alankila> spicaaay: not even write the "press enter to boot from cd/dvd" message?
[12:32] <Conradzz> hard freezes when I try and log in ubuntu
[12:32] <jolle> I used to use Webmin but I uninstalled it now because It caused me alot of problems and a few gents here in #ubuntu said that it was incompatible with ubuntu 12.04 so I was thinking about trying Zentyal. Is it worth it?
[12:32] <theadmin> Conradzz: Oh that.
[12:33] <Conradzz> yup
[12:33] <spicaaay> i pressed f10 i think (boot menu) and selected boot from cd/dvd
[12:33] <MonkeyDust> jolle  type !zentyal
[12:33] <jolle> !zentyal
[12:33] <alankila> spicaaay: yes, but the cd/dvd may not actually boot because it detects that the system already has an operating system. It usually prompts you to confirm that you want to boot the cd/dvd
[12:33] <theadmin> jolle: If you need a web interface to manage the system, do not manage the system. That's my personal opinion, though. Basically speaking, no, it's not worth it.
[12:33] <spicaaay> didnt prompt at all
[12:33] <jolle> theadmin: thanks
[12:33] <alankila> this is done to ease windows installations, users do not have to remove the dvd from the drive to still boot into their brand new windows system
[12:34] <Conradzz> This is so dumb, I have even reinstalled ubuntu, and specifically not updated just to stop it from freezing
[12:34] <mikubuntu> who wants to talk politics (of computing) :: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/shuttleworth-on-ubuntu-linux-fedora-and-the-uefi-problem/11270
[12:34] <think> i
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> mikubuntu  type /join #ubuntu-offtopic for discussions
[12:34] <alankila> spicaaay: in any case, this sounds like a problem that is not solved by "wiping" the drive.    If it has a single ISO file, then that went wrong
[12:37] <SkippersBoss> alankila: spicaaay please take this discussion somewhere else
[12:37] <spicaaay> yep, it has  a singular iso
[12:38] <alankila> nothing futher the discuss. The DVD is not bootable. Wiping HD does not solve issue.
[12:38] <spicaaay> so i need cd?
[12:38] <theadmin> spicaaay: You need to burn it properly.
[12:38] <spicaaay> i dont erally get how i burnt incorrectly
[12:39] <theadmin> spicaaay: You don't put an ISO file onto the drive. An ISO is a disk image. You have to burn it as a disk image.
[12:40] <spicaaay> oh.. yeah, that didnt work when it came up with 2 options, copy as image and copy file i believe..
[12:40] <angs> is there any text editor that can select the whole text? I can not do it by nano
[12:41] <spicaaay> anyway, thank you both theadmin and alankila for your help xD
[12:42] <theadmin> angs: If you mean in CLI, vim can (ggVG). In GUI, you can do it in almost any editor by hitting ctrl-A
[12:42] <graingert_ufo> anyone know (what RewriteRule .* - [F] means / why I can't talk in #apache)?
[12:43] <ikonia> graingert_ufo: you need to have a freenode registered account to talk in apache

[12:45] <theadmin> n105: Graphic drivers.
[12:45] <graingert_ufo> ikonia: k
[12:46] <AlRazi> i know it's a bit off-topic, but the ffmpeg room is dead, can i ask an ffmpeg related question ?
[12:46] <PenguinCSC> hey all
[12:46] <galacticboy> Hi is it possible to install synaptic package manager offline in ubuntu 12.04?
[12:46] <graingert_ufo> !question | AlRazi
[12:46] <theadmin> galacticboy: Installing software offline is generally... well... difficult.
[12:46] <AlRazi> !patience
[12:46] <n105> VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev c1)
[12:46] <theadmin> galacticboy: It is possible though -- you just need the .deb and all the dependencies
[12:47] <AlRazi> I am trying to convert mp3 -> aac+, the resulting file has 7000+ hours duration on itunes, i tried running qt-faststart on it but to no avail, I tried using ffmpeg to produce a wav file, and then convert the wav file to m4a using faac, it works fine, but faac doesn't support HE-AAC
[12:47] <n105> graingert_ufo:fidel:theadmin
[12:47] <n105> VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev c1)
[12:47] <graingert_ufo> n105: w00t nvida
[12:47] <theadmin> n105: Open the "Hardware drivers" tool, and install the nvidia driver (if I recall right, the package name is "nvidia-current")
[12:48] <morri> guiess that opne is a bit younger than mine
[12:48] <galacticboy> So linux is not for offline work?
[12:48] <theadmin> galacticboy: Well, you can work offline, but software management is generally difficult to do offline, and that's the same in any OS.
[12:49] <talayBABA> n105:if i were u, take it nvidia driver, its offical site for linux and setup
[12:49] <graingert_ufo> talayBABA: n105 no don't use the nvidia site
[12:49] <n105> talayBABA: why not only use nvidia-current
[12:49] <PenguinCSC> I have an nVidia card with HDMI connected to my TV. In the rare occasion I boot into Windows and watch a video, the audio plays through the TV speakers, but when on Ubuntu 12.04 it plays through the computer speakers. Any way to fix that? no audio settings on the nVidia Settings tool...
[12:50] <graingert_ufo> n105: have you used jockey-gtk ?
[12:50] <Kingsy> guys, how do you restart samba on ubuntu? /etc/init.d/ doesnt contain anything that looks like samba imo. Like smbd isnt there.. samba isnt there.. whats it called?
[12:50] <galacticboy> But why offline installation is easy in windows and not on linux?
[12:50] <graingert_ufo> n105: then used nvidia-settings
[12:50] <talayBABA> couse nvdia current not enough good i think .
[12:50] <n105> graingert_ufo: i havn't use any thing, that's new install of 12.04
[12:50] <graingert_ufo> galacticboy: grab a local mirror of the apache
[12:50] <graingert_ufo> apache?!
[12:50] <graingert_ufo> the package repos
[12:50] <peetaur> Kingsy: grep -iE "smb|samba" /etc/init.d/*
[12:51] <talayBABA> maybe 1 or 2 days later you can see your machine is getting hotter
[12:51] <graingert_ufo> n105: yeah use jockey-gtk to install your nvidia drivers of choice
[12:51] <galacticboy> After that?
[12:51] <theadmin> galacticboy: Just mirror the repos then. There are many ways to handle offline installation. But what's the point of having a computer that's not connected to the Internet anyway? That's always confused me :/
[12:51] <graingert_ufo> n105: then use nvidia-settings to do stuff
[12:51] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:51] <graingert_ufo> galacticboy: point your computer at that mirror
[12:52] <Varazir> Is there a way to turn off MOTD for one user ?
[12:52] <graingert_ufo> galacticboy: an apt cacher on your lan is a good plan
[12:52] <graingert_ufo> if you have a bunch 'o boxes
[12:52] <galacticboy> I mean here i have many internet service provider without linux software client. So i need to work offline in linux.
[12:52] <newer_> help, who can help me  how to install lower version gcc (4.1.0)in ubuntu 11.10?
[12:53] <Somelauw> When running aptitude in interactive mode, it suggests me to remove about 246 packages. I would ask someone to double check these suggestions, but I don't know how to pastebin this list.
[12:53] <BluesKaj> galacticboy, linux software client ? you don't need any special software , just an NIC to a router/modem
[12:53] <talayBABA> newr_: why do u want this ?
[12:53] <theadmin> galacticboy: You don't need any specific software to connect to the internet :/
[12:53] <galacticboy> What is apt cacher?
[12:54] <Kingsy> peetaur: I actually managed to restart it with "sudo restart smbd" however the folder I shared still doesnt seem to show up across the network
[12:54] <beatusbeat> In Firefox (13.0.1) a few letters or characters are not fully represented. The problem exists even in other programs (LibreOffice, Thunderbird). I am using Ubuntu 11.10. Would be glad if someone could help me. The german ubuntuuser forum and Google did not help. Here's a screenshot of the problem: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21410646/Zeichenproblem.png
[12:55] <newer_> I have to do a  hw, about pintos,  the hight gcc version can not compile it. so....
[12:55] <galacticboy> NIC?
[12:55] <theadmin> newer_: Downgrading is not supported here. If gcc doesn't compile your code, this generally means something's wrong with the code?
[12:56] <acicula> when using the ipv6 privacy extensions is there a system event somewhere (dbus,syslog, etc) that i can monitor for?
[12:56] <graingert_ufo> is https://wiki.canonical.com/ broken for everyone else
[12:56] <theadmin> graingert_ufo: It's up but I am not "allowed to view this page"
[12:56] <BluesKaj> galacticboy, Network Interface card/connection
[12:56] <MonkeyDust> graingert_ufo  same here
[12:56] <graingert_ufo> theadmin: I don't get "not allowed" though
[12:57] <newer_> no, no, our TA  let me install fedora 7 with the gcc-4.1.2, but i don't like to do it
[12:57] <graingert_ufo> sigh
[12:57] <BluesKaj> galacticboy, like ethernet
[12:58] <peetaur> graingert_ufo: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/wiki.canonical.com
[12:58] <graingert_ufo> peetaur: it's not down
[12:58] <graingert_ufo> it's broken
[12:58] <Kingsy> peetaur: hhmmm actually I still cant find it to restart it.. that grep doesnt return any "smbd" files
[12:58] <Kingsy> peetaur: just smbfs
[12:58] <peetaur> graingert_ufo. hmmmm oh but it doesn't work with https...
[12:58] <peetaur> ok
[12:58] <graingert_ufo> hmmm

[12:59] <galacticboy> Ok i understood that you didn't understand me. The client software is windows only. Network it will connect where should i enter username and password? It's not dhcp.
[12:59] <BluesKaj> what client software , galacticboy ?
[13:00] <galacticboy> ISP CLIENT.
[13:00] <Kingsy> peetaur: samba: unrecognized service
[13:00] <Pici> graingert_ufo: I was under the impression that their wiki was private.
[13:01] <graingert_ufo> Pici: that would be expected, but not broken
[13:01] <AlRazi> I am trying to convert mp3 -> aac+, the resulting file has 7000+ hours duration on itunes, i tried running qt-faststart on it but to no avail, I tried using ffmpeg to produce a wav file, and then convert the wav file to m4a using faac, it works fine, but faac doesn't support HE-AAC
[13:01] <galacticboy> I mean Internet service provides client.
[13:02] <newer_> i want to present my error code, where i can paste
[13:02] <Sidewinder1> Sounds like AOL.
[13:02] <Pici> newer_: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[13:02] <MonkeyDust> AlRazi  technically, that question may be for this channel, but better ask in #ubuntustudio, as it is more multimedia oriented
[13:02] <newer_> thanks
[13:02] <BluesKaj> galacticboy, how do you know it's windows only , or are you assuming an ordinary ethernet connection won't work, just because there's a linux OS it won't connect thru the ISP
[13:03] <theadmin> AlRazi: You may have luck with winff (ffmpeg frontend, easy to use)
[13:04] <SirEarl> why does the iso want to run wubi?
[13:04] <SirEarl> wubi doesn't open for me
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> wubi :(
[13:05] <SirEarl> I tried some other way, but that didn't work either
[13:05] <newer_> here is my error info when i make it  --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060707/
[13:05] <SirEarl> uniboot or something like that
[13:05] <slobro> hi, does someone know a good list of laptops / desktop parts that have support in ubuntu?
[13:06] <galacticboy> I know it's connecting to ethernet but in order to connect to the internet i need to authenticate via client software which is only in windows.
[13:06] <BluesKaj> galacticboy, are you addressing me , if so use my nick pls
[13:07] <Kingsy> this is stupid.. how do you restart samba in ubuntu?
[13:07] <MonkeyDust> slobro  http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/
[13:07] <BluesKaj> i'm in sveral chat's at once , galacticboy
[13:07] <Kingsy> its not in /etc/init.d/
[13:07] <galacticboy> Ok sorry i'm using my mobile blue sky.
[13:07] <slobro> MonkeyDust: thanks. :)
[13:07] <graingert_ufo> galacticboy: have you got a router
[13:07] <newer_> HELP PLEASE.
[13:08] <theadmin> Kingsy: Check /etc/init -- /etc/init.d/ is for backwards-compatibility and not too used.
[13:08] <galacticboy> Yes!
[13:08] <graingert_ufo> !patience | newer_
[13:08] <theadmin> Kingsy: See http://upstart.ubuntu.com for details as to why.
[13:08] <graingert_ufo> newer_: please paste in english
[13:08] <Kingsy> theadmin: /etc/init/ is just full on conf files
[13:09] <AlRazi> theadmin, thanks, but i'm looking to streamline the process ( command line based )
[13:09] <Tashiqi> Hi
[13:09] <theadmin> Kingsy: Right, find the name of the .conf file for Samba and use "sudo service name-of-that-conf-file restart"
[13:09] <BluesKaj> galacticboy, what about mac users , how do they connect using your ISP
[13:09] <BluesKaj> ?
[13:09] <theadmin> Kingsy: Except without the .conf
[13:10] <galacticboy> Ok guys bye. i think i need to hack it in order to connect to the internet!
[13:10] <Kingsy> theadmin: samba isnt there either..
[13:10] <galacticboy> No mac only windows.
[13:10] <Kingsy> is it possible to not have it installed but /etc/samba/smb.conf exists?
[13:11] <theadmin> Kingsy: Not sure on that one.
[13:11] <galacticboy> Thanks for the help. Bye. :)
[13:11] <BluesKaj> galacticboy, that wouldn't be allows here , I think someone isn't telling you the truth
[13:11] <BluesKaj> allowed rather
[13:13] <Kingsy> ok that worked.. it wasnt installed..
[13:13] <Kingsy> WTF
[13:13] <Kingsy> heh
[13:13] <SirEarl> what's the easiest way to install ubuntu?
[13:13] <theadmin> SirEarl: I'd say from a CD.
[13:13] <MonkeyDust> !install| SirEarl
[13:14] <MonkeyDust> SirEarl  and 'easiest' depends partly on how technically skilled you are
[13:14] <SirEarl> not technically skilled at all
[13:15] <Elvano> Hey lot. I'm trying to expand my Ubuntu partition. But in GParted it does not display the free space adjacent to the Ubuntu partition. Can this be a problem?
[13:15] <rumpe1> SirEarl, the easiest way is to let somebody else do the job :D
[13:15] <SirEarl> haha
[13:16] <Elvano> The easiest way I'd say is a USB install, because you do not neec to burn a disc
[13:16] <Elvano> other than that does the install point itself out
[13:16] <Elvano> Please do not ming my gramatic errors
[13:16] <newer_> sorry, i forgot it , this is the English error,--> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060719/
[13:16] <rumpe1> Elvano, ? ... it doesn't show free space? Usually the differentiation between primary and extended partitions lead to some confusion when trying to increase the size of a partition.
[13:16] <SirEarl> I tried from disc, but it just stops
[13:17] <Elvano> rumpe1: let me bring up GParted to see what exactly it says
[13:17] <rumpe1> Elvano, a screenshot and some data would be helpful
[13:18] <rumpe1> Elvano, data = stuff, other applications do say about the partition table (fdisk, parted, ..)
[13:18] <Sidewinder1> SirEarl, Did you md5sum the ISO prior to burning the disk, at the slowest speed?
[13:18] <Saby74> !list
[13:19] <nUwb> Hello everyone. Where can i find a good chunk of programming exercises that I can find on the web?
[13:19] <Saby74> list!
[13:19] <theadmin> nUwb: Depends on the language you're studying.
[13:19] <theadmin> Saby74: Stop this. This is a support channel, not anyplace where !list would have any meaning.
[13:19] <nUwb> theadmin: I managed to get my hands on a c programming book
[13:19] <Sidewinder1> How did I know that he was from Italy?
[13:20] <theadmin> nUwb: If you're just getting started, I suggest C and Perl (if you're going imperative) or Haskell (if you're going functional)
[13:20] <Elvano> rumpe1: The thing is just that I noticed that GParted does not display My ubuntu partition next to an "unallocated" partition.
[13:20] <theadmin> Sidewinder1: The .it at the end of the hostname, maybe?
[13:20] <Sidewinder1> ;-)
[13:20] <morri> btw what does  it mean if the dmesg tells "Load detected on head A" repeatedly
[13:21] <theadmin> nUwb: Not sure about C, but perl.org and haskell.org both have a ton of tutorials on them :)
[13:21] <Elvano> rumpe1: And I don't know if this visual mean anything when I try to expand my ubuntu partition
[13:21] <nUwb> theadmin: Perl and Haskell, got it.
[13:21] <Sidewinder1> theadmin, But, I 'knew' , before I checked.
[13:21] <nUwb> theadmin: thanks
[13:21] <theadmin> nUwb: Note: Haskell isn't programming in the... common sense, it's well... Functional languages are just "different". You may feel it's weird.
[13:22] <rumpe1> Elvano, what exactly is your problem? There is another partition in between? I need to know the exact partition layout.
[13:22] <nUwb> theadmin: well, how different is it compared to perl?
[13:22] <theadmin> nUwb: We're getting offtopic :P PM me if you want to continue this discussion, please. This isn't Ubuntu-related.
[13:23] <Elvano> rumpe1: Yes, it displays two partitions in between of which one I'd certainly like to keep
[13:23] <SkippersBoss> SirEarl, which version are you trying to install on what type of machine
[13:23] <nUwb> theadmin: o.k., perl.org and haskell.org is good enough, thanks again
[13:23] <SirEarl> 12.04
[13:23] <SirEarl> windows 7 currently installed
[13:23] <joachibl> nUwb: note that some would say that perl is an odd choice these days and would suggest python instead.
[13:23] <theadmin> nUwb: Not a problem.
[13:23] <SirEarl> both 64 bit
[13:24] <nUwb> joachibl: lol, I'm starting to notice that there a whole lot of "languages" to learn
[13:24] <rumpe1> Elvano, ah, ok... you want to add the unallocated space to another partition, which is not direclty aligned to it? ... Then you need a filesystem, that allows something like that. Ext-filesystems alone won't allow that.
[13:25] <rumpe1> Elvano, you need more something like LVM or btrfs I guess
[13:25] <nishttal2> hi there... does anyone know of a music player on Ubuntu that can also connect to Pandora radio?
[13:25] <nUwb> joachibl: thanks for the suggestion.
[13:25] <rumpe1> Elvano, and either way: you can't do that in the partition manager itself but on a "higher level" like a filesystem
[13:25] <SkippersBoss> SirEarl onwhat machine. cpu,memory/graphics
[13:27] <SirEarl> intel i7 3.07ghz
[13:27] <SirEarl> to be honest, I forgot how much memory and what graphics card
[13:27] <SkippersBoss> aha
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> nishttal2  does pandora have a streaing url?
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> streaming*
[13:28] <Elvano> Wouldn't it be easier to clone my existing ubuntu partition to the unallocated space using clonezilla? Either way it shall increase my Ubuntu partition space drasticly. @ rumpe1
[13:28] <SirEarl> but it's decent enough to run SW:TOR smoothly
[13:28] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: Pandora isn't a typical radio, it's a radio station you build yourself, and no, they don't offer such streaming.
[13:28] <SkippersBoss> Sir Earl. graphics card could be crucial
[13:28] <nishttal2> MonkeyDust, i doubt it.. its a account based service
[13:28] <SirEarl> let me try to find it
[13:28] <Elvano> Or would that give issues with the boot? @ rumpe1
[13:29] <nishttal2> theadmin, MonkeyDust i am surprised bcoz now you can even get pandora in your car..
[13:29] <SirEarl> nvidia geforce GTX 550 Ti, ATI Radeon HD 5400 series
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> nishttal2  try parking your car in the living room then
[13:29] <aithox> hello, i want to ask about the theme .
[13:29] <SkippersBoss> SirEarl, There are many reasons why live CD stops running.
[13:30] <rumpe1> Elvano, hmm... that could maybe lead to some problems. I usually do such a transfer by 1) creating a new partition (ext4?), 2) copy the stuff from the root partition over to the new partition, 3) correct the fstab-entries on the new partition and 4) chroot into the new partition and update grub. That's about it.
[13:31] <nishttal2> MonkeyDust, :-p
[13:31] <SirEarl> ok
[13:31] <SirEarl> I just made a boot USB
[13:31] <SkippersBoss> have you tried to use the alternative install. Preferably from USB stick
[13:31] <SkippersBoss> :-)
[13:31] <aithox> hello, where can i ask about themeing?
[13:32] <MonkeyDust> !themes| aithox start here
[13:32] <angs> how can I install ipk extensioned file?
[13:32] <aithox> MonkeyDust: i want to know how to get more drop shadow radius.
[13:33] <LjL> angs: those are not for Ubuntu
[13:33] <Elvano> I could follow up till step 2 xD @ rumpe1
[13:33] <angs> LjL: hmm ok thanks
[13:33] <theadmin> angs: Uh, that's an iOS Package, it's for iPhones and such...
[13:33] <Krywk> People, I need help with mono.
[13:34] <LjL> theadmin: i think it could be "ipkg", a small packaging system some embedded distributions use
[13:34] <theadmin> LjL: Ah. Never heard of that
[13:35] <n105> i'm back theadmin, i have installed nvidia-setting, when i start it he told me to run nvidia-xconfig as root and then restart X
[13:35] <rumpe1> Elvano, well... maybe that's a great chance to learn how to correct UUIDs in fstab. That's the most important step. You could omit the chroot-step and keep using grub from the "old" partition
[13:35] <n105> i have do it, but it doesn't work
[13:35] <Krywk> I'm trying to run a NET40 application with Mono 2.10. Thing is, the app loads, but crashes right after starting. Here's the output: http://pastebin.com/McgNUyyD
[13:35] <Krywk> Anyone know what's causing the problem?
[13:35] <n105> my only resolution now is 640x480
[13:36] <Elvano> I'm really an Ubuntu and partition newb. And to be honest, changing things on a higher level kinda scares me. Might there be, by chance, any tutorial on this? @ rumpe1
[13:37] <rumpe1> Elvano, there sure is... let me have a look

[13:38] <vdz> Hey...I'm having a bit of trouble installing drivers for my NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M under Ubuntu 12.04. The 'additional drivers' window is completely blank: http://i.imgur.com/1SnDQ.jpg
[13:38] <theadmin> n105: You do have nvidia-current installed, right?
[13:39] <rymate1234> yo
[13:39] <rymate1234> mah sound ain't working
[13:39] <n105> theadmin yes
[13:39] <n105> theadmin: and i have generate an xorg.conf with nvidia-xconf
[13:40] <rumpe1> Elvano, that looks promising: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MovingLinuxPartition
[13:41] <testi> zykotick9, thanks I know the gnome-panel trick, but it looks just like some gnome2 leftovers.. is there an elaborated environment with a system/settings menue integrated into the panel rather than a all-in-one tool?
[13:41] <theadmin> n105: Well, then run the NVidia Settings tool which is in your menus to select resolutions and such
[13:41] <theadmin> testi: There is Xfce, which feels a lot like Gnome2. There's also MATE, which IS gnome2.
[13:41] <zykotick9> testi: if you don't like fallback, then xfce is probably the next closest gnome2
[13:41] <n105> when i run  NVidia Settings tool he told me to run nvidia-xconfig
[13:42] <theadmin> n105: Then do that. And reboot.
[13:42] <n105> theadmin: i have do it
[13:42] <Krywk> zykotick9, isn't just changing the session to GNOME Classic faster?
[13:42] <zykotick9> n105: did you using sudo with nvidia-xconfig?
[13:42] <n105> it seem to be that nvidia driver is not in use, how can i make it in use
[13:43] <n105> zykotick9: yes
[13:43] <zykotick9> n105: from terminal "ls /etc/X11/"
[13:43] <testi> zykotick9, okay i give xfce a try. theadmin I tried MATE, but there I don't get Ambiance to display properly. Some part of the top panel remains white. Do you know how to fix that?
[13:43] <zykotick9> n105: verify that xorg.conf is present
[13:43] <n105> yes
[13:43] <theadmin> testi: Hm, no, I never tried Mate on Ubuntu, only on ArchLinux, sorry
[13:43] <n105> zykotick9: i have say that befor
[13:44] <newer_> help!!!  I have to manual install gcc-4.1.2(a lower version of gcc) in ubuntu 11.10 ,  but the are some errors when i make it, -->>http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060719/
[13:44] <newer_> i sorry to repeat it
[13:45] <rumpe1> Elvano, it could be a bit easier, when you do all that, update your old grub while still running your old system. This way the old grub should detect the new system on the new partition, so you could use regular boot to boot into that. And _then_ execute grub-install on the new system. Maybe easier than fiddling around with grub.cfg or chroot.
[13:45] <n105> zykotick9:theadmin: do you how can i change a driver
[13:45] <Elvano> Bookmarked it and mailed it to myself. I'm going to try this as soon I'm home again and have my USB-key (as I hope resquecd works with USB as well). @ rumpe1
[13:45] <n105> because when i run additional driver, it show that nvidia driver is not in use
[13:45] <mogaj> i am unable to mount Transcend external dvd drive on my ubuntu lenovo laptop .... how should i mount it?
[13:46] <theadmin> n105: Then choose it and click "Activate"...
[13:46] <Elvano> So I should take the Grub steps before I start the rest? @ rumpe1
[13:46] <morri> I only have xorg.config.failsafe
[13:46] <theadmin> mogaj: Something along the lines of "mount /dev/sr0 /mnt"
[13:46] <n105> theadmin: lol if i found i will not ask you
[13:47] <theadmin> mogaj: Or rather, "mount -o loop,ro /dev/sr0 /mnt", but that's just details.
[13:47] <rumpe1> Elvano, first you should read the article to understand, what exactly is needed for the move. As I said: you could keep the old system with the old grub for a while to boot into the new system. So it's the last step.
[13:48] <mogaj> theadmin : am getting this message "/dev/sr0: No medium found"
[13:48] <theadmin> mogaj: Well, you need to insert something into the drive before you can mount it
[13:48] <Elvano> I wasn't planning on removing that partition nor the reference in the grub before I had a fully working clone xD @ rumpe1
[13:49] <zykotick9> mogaj: do you have a built in optical drive as well?  try /dev/sr1 if you do.
[13:49] <usr13> mogaj: ls -l /dev/sr0
[13:49] <vampirnata> I'm mounting a USB hard disk at boot with the following line in my fstab: UUID=b53b95d7-f12a-4dbd-b449-704c6519ee76 /media/data1  ext4    errors=remount-ro 0     1 -- Is this correct or are there better options?
[13:49] <theadmin> zykotick9: Oh, good catch
[13:49] <rumpe1> Elvano, you could keep it as a fallback-system :)
[13:50] <theadmin> vampirnata: That looks good to me.
[13:50] <vampirnata> theadmin: Great, thank you :) I was worried I was using an option I was not supposed to be.
[13:51] <theadmin> vampirnata: On the other hand, I don't see why you'd "remount-ro" it if it's external, but that's all up to you
[13:51] <mogaj> usr13 : i got this message "brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Jun 26 19:04 /dev/sr0"  .... zykotick9: i have a built in optical drive when used your suggestion i still got "/dev/sr1: No medium found"
[13:51] <theadmin> mogaj: Do you have a disk inside the drive?
[13:51] <theadmin> s/k/c/
[13:51] <zykotick9> mogaj: and what type of disk?  regular datacd?
[13:52] <mogaj> theadmin: am unable to eject the case to insert disk
[13:52] <vampirnata> theadmin: i have some programs writing to the disk periodically and didn't want them to write if there are errors on the disk, i'd rather the scripts fail
[13:52] <Elvano> Thanks for the help. I hope I'll be able to make it work =p @ rumpe1
[13:52] <usr13> mogaj: /dev/sr0 looks correct.  Do you have a [readable] disk in it?
[13:52] <theadmin> mogaj: Well, that's your problem, you need to insert a disc before you can mount it
[13:52] <theadmin> mogaj: To eject it, use "eject /dev/sr1".
[13:53] <theadmin> mogaj: Note that all of the above commands (both the mount and the eject) need to be ran as root (with sudo)
[13:53] <usr13> theadmin: mogaj or just eject
[13:53] <theadmin> vampirnata: Ah, makes sense then.
[13:53] <zykotick9> usr13: mogaj has 2 optical drives...
[13:53] <usr13> theadmin: eject will prolly work as user.
[13:53] <mogaj> theadmin: how can i insert disk without opening the tray? how can i eject without mounting .... i used all the above commads as root
[13:54] <usr13> zykotick9: that's quite possible.
[13:54] <vampirnata> usr13: only if the user is part of the cdrom group i think
[13:54] <usr13> mogaj: Do you have 2 cdrom drives?
[13:54] <usr13> vampirnata: Which is usually the case.
[13:54] <theadmin> mogaj: sudo eject /dev/sr1, just as I said -- you don't need to mount it to eject.
[13:54] <Elvano> I'm a bit of a Java (and other) programmer in training and I was wondering how I can compile my files so I can run them from linux. @ theadmin and others
[13:54] <vampirnata> usr13: sure, but assumption is the... :)
[13:54] <theadmin> Elvano: Java compiles to .jar which is universal.
[13:55] <mogaj> utheadmin : eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument
[13:55] <usr13> vampirnata: Well, mogaj could find out:  grep cdrom /etc/group
[13:55] <mogaj> usr13 : yes i have an internal dvd drive for my laptop
[13:56] <usr13> mogaj: I see
[13:56] <theadmin> Elvano: (well, it doesn't exactly "compile" to jar, but you get my point)
[13:56] <mogaj> usr13 : cdrom:x:24:eka is the result of your command
[13:56] <theadmin> Elvano: As for "others" -- that depends on the language.
[13:56] <usr13> mogaj: The internal one should be /dev/sd0
[13:57] <usr13> mogaj: so eka is your user name?
[13:57] <mogaj> usr13 : yes
[13:57] <theadmin> usr13: Uh, /dev/sd? I don't think so. /dev/sr0 is more likely.
[13:57] <zykotick9> usr13: sd0?  what?
[13:57] <rsv> hi, i formatted my usb disk accidently is it possible to recover the data
[13:57] <usr13> mogaj: Good, then you will be able to eject /dev/sr0 as user
[13:57] <root_> hi
[13:58] <usr13> sd0 was typo. should have been sr0
[13:58] <philinux> rsv: maybe. look up photorec from the testdisk suite
[13:58] <Elvano> Well ubuntu doesn't like my jar-files as it treats it like an archive @ theadmin
[13:58] <root_> philinux hi
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> rsv  there's also scalpel
[13:58] <mogaj> usr13: when i used "eject /dev/sr0" command my internal dvd ejected not my external one
[13:59] <root_> hi moga
[13:59] <usr13> mogaj: Correct.  (as I said before, /dev/sr0 will be the internal one)
[13:59] <smilyy> gfxcard: radeon 3870, installed default system xubuntu, after boot black/blue screen = hangs, booted with nomodeset xdriver=vesa got same result
[13:59] <smilyy> any idea?
[14:00] <sacarlson> Elvano: maybe try java yourjavaprogramname
[14:00] <mogaj> usr13: i want to make my external one to work
[14:00] <usr13> mogaj: ls -l /dev/sr1
[14:00] <zykotick9> sacarlson: isn't it "java -jar foo.jar" (i certainly could be wrong, i don't use java)
[14:01] <sacarlson> zykotick9: not if this is correct http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=713622
[14:02] <mogaj> usr13 : The result of above command "brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 1 Jun 26 19:09 /dev/sr1"
[14:03] <theadmin> Elvano: java -jar foo.jar, make sure to have Java installed.
[14:03] <sacarlson> zykotick9: oh your correct if the java program is a jar file http://alexsleat.co.uk/2010/06/07/howto-run-jar-files-in-ubuntu/
[14:03] <theadmin> Elvano: The file associations in Ubuntu by default are a bit messy, I'm not sure why jars are associated with file-roller :/
[14:04] <usr13> mogaj: Then   eject /dev/sr1  should eject the other one.
[14:04] <mogaj> usr13: "eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument"
[14:05] <Elvano> The java -jar did the trick. Without the -jar it still opens as an archive. Thanks alot. @ theadmin , sacarlson
[14:05] <usr13> mogaj: Hummmm.....
[14:06] <sacarlson> Elvano: how quickly I foget
[14:07] <usr13> magentar: pastebinit /proc/scsi/scsi
[14:07] <usr13> and send resulting url
[14:07] <Tzeny> hi
[14:07] <studio> Guys, I just wiped windows off of this old desktop and installed lucid.    I can't access it in any way.  How do I fix?
[14:08] <usr13> mogaj: pastebinit /proc/scsi/scsi
[14:08] <usr13> mogaj: or just look at it and see:  cat /proc/scsi/scsi
[14:08] <studio> I just backed that drive up before I wiped windows.  I know it is bigger than that.  I don't mind formatting it, but I want to be able to use its full size.
[14:09] <usr13> studio: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit   #Let's have a look, see what you have
[14:10] <usr13> studio: send resulting url
[14:11] <usr13> studio: mount  #Will tell you what is mounted now.
[14:13] <MoPac> Hello all -- I have a network configuration question.  I regularly need to connect to one static IP wired network and one DHCP one. On my Win7 box, I run netsh batch tasks on event (network connect, condition network of a certain name available) to change the adapter settings.  On Ubuntu: what do?
[14:14] <usr13> MoPac: ifconfig
[14:14] <nibbier> MoPac, its very easy. right click connection manager and configure a static configuration. then you can swith easily between "auto eth0" and "what ever name you gave befoer"
[14:14] <sacarlson> MoPac: with wicd gui you can setup multi profiles with different settings
[14:14] <MoPac> nibbier: So it will always have to be a manual switch rather than having the machine recognize a network name?
[14:15] <nibbier> MoPac, how do you recognize a network name? i mean of course you can script something that probes for IPs etc....
[14:15] <usr13> MoPac: As sacarlson suggests, if you do not like the way network-manager handles your Network Interfaces, you can install wicd and use it instead.
[14:15] <nibbier> MoPac, even: *what is* a network name?
[14:16] <mogaj> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1060807/
[14:16] <studio> usr13, everything except /dev/sdb is mounted.
[14:16] <jonas-k> hi.. I cant install  any 64 bit os in virtualbox  jus 32 bits   I@m   use intel i5  cpu... I did all configuration  but nothing
[14:17] <usr13> studio: What size is sdb?
[14:17] <theadmin> jonas-k: Is your host OS (the main one) 64-bit? If not, it will be impossible.
[14:17] <MonkeyDust> jonas-k  i havent managed to do it either, better install 32bit
[14:17] <studio> sda1, 5, and 4 (/, /home, swap) are fine, but sdb is showing as 31.5 g when I know it's 85 g.
[14:17] <jonas-k> ye 64 main  ...
[14:17] <zykotick9> theadmin: ahh, not quite - cpu requires virtualization support for it to work though
[14:17] <theadmin> zykotick9: ?
[14:17] <studio> and it only had one ntfs partition, and was the full size, but now it has a 7 gig unknown partition.
[14:17] <zykotick9> jonas-k: do you get coloured output from "egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo --color=always"
[14:17] <studio> and 23 gigs unallocated
[14:17] <usr13> mogaj: So  DVD RW  is the external one?
[14:18] <jonas-k> zyko  ok i'll try
[14:18] <jonas-k> cheers mate
[14:19] <studio> usr13, the drive is showing an unknown partition type.  I can't mount it.  And i don't want to format it while it says it's a 32 g drive when I know it's way bigger.
[14:19] <usr13> mogaj: sudo mount /dev/sr1 /mnt   #Tell us if you see errors, or not.
[14:19] <mogaj> usr13:   "Vendor: TS8XDVDR Model: Transcend"   is the external one
[14:19] <vampirnata> studio: you don't have a USB stick plugged in perhaps?
[14:19] <usr13> studio: What type of filesystem is on it?
[14:19] <studio> nope
[14:20] <studio> It was NTFS.
[14:20] <studio> It's not showing up right in gparted, tho
[14:20] <mogaj> usr13: mount: no medium found on /dev/sr1
[14:20] <usr13> studio: show us what fdisk says about it.
[14:20] <Squintz> I'm trying to connect to my USRP2 (software defined radio) through a wired ethernet connection. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04. When I set the ip using sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> I get a connection for about 20 seconds and then it disconnects. Any idea why this is happening?
[14:21] <usr13> studio: fdisk -l | pastebinit
[14:21] <usr13> studio: and send resulting URL
[14:21] <MoPac> nibbier: usr13: "Network name" may be just a misunderstanding by me of how Windows appears to differentiate between wired networks on connect.
[14:21] <usr13> mogaj: Try another disk
[14:21] <genii-around> studio: Are you sure that unknown partition isn't some system restore hidden partition that a lot of machines use when they come pre-installed with the MS stuff tucked away someplace ?
[14:21] <mogaj> usr13 : another disk?
[14:22] <usr13> mogaj: Do you have a disk in it now?
[14:22] <helpcrypto> hello
[14:22] <sacarlson> Squintz: you would want to eather setup your static ip with network-manager or uninstall it
[14:22] <helpcrypto> i think i have found a bug, but would like to ask in here first
[14:22] <Squintz> ok
[14:22] <studio> genii-around, Yes, I'm sure.
[14:22] <sacarlson> Squintz: other wise it will take control of ip address at periodic periods
[14:22] <studio> I've seen lots of those, and even changed flags to make them useable.
[14:22] <mogaj> usr13 ; ther is no disk because i am not able to eject it
[14:23] <studio> This was a standard HDD used as a D:\ drive in windows for storing music.
[14:23] <usr13> mogaj: There is no button?
[14:23] <Squintz> thanks sacarlson
[14:23] <studio> I'm installing pastebinit atm.  Will have that up for you in a min.
[14:23] <usr13> mogaj: You certainly will not be able to mount it if there is no disk in it.
[14:23] <mogaj> usr13: i used the button to eject but it did not work
[14:23] <sacarlson> Squintz: cool that software radio I've read about it
[14:23] <helpcrypto> a library distributed in firefox (usr/lib/firefox/softokn3.so) have a broken dependency (´ldd´ shows a not found for libmozsquilte3.so). Asking on mozilla they say its a package mantainer issue. where/how i should report the bug?
[14:24] <MonkeyDust> helpcrypto  is it from a PPA?
[14:24] <Crome_> Ciao
[14:24] <helpcrypto> yes

[14:24] <MonkeyDust> helpcrypto  then contact the PPA maintainer
[14:24] <studio> Guys, fdisk -l gives me nothing.
[14:24] <helpcrypto> hold a sec
[14:25] <helpcrypto> ppa=repo, right?
[14:25] <Pici> helpcrypto: Which ppa?
[14:25] <studio> usr13, fdisk isn't working lol.
[14:25] <helpcrypto> its the firefox
[14:25] <fidel> !ppa > helpcrypto
[14:25] <usr13> studio: sudo fdisk -l
[14:25] <genii-around> studio: I guess you weren't using any compression software on the MS side like Stacker or DoubleSpace? They use a layout very similar to that as well.
[14:25] <helpcrypto> its not a ppa
[14:25] <helpcrypto> its FIREFOX
[14:25] <Pici> helpcrypto: What does apt-cache policy firefox say?
[14:26] <helpcrypto> no idea what u talking about :P
[14:26] <mogaj> ur13: finally it worked ... thankyou
[14:26] <genii-around> studio: ( and the 50% size it shows sort of matches that )

[14:28] <helpcrypto> thx pici
[14:28] <hakin9> Hello, trying to locate a version of 'free' that has the -h option.
[14:28] <usr13> studio: I would just mount it and see whats there.
[14:29] <usr13> studio: What type of drive is it?
[14:29] <studio> EZ-drive?
[14:29] <usr13> studio: Yea, that is what it says:  http://pastebin.com/fMtd4mfN
[14:30] <genii-around> usr13: I think that's the case, windows was reporting 80-some-odd but the drive is physically what gparted says
[14:30] <Crome_> HI
[14:30] <usr13> studio: What type of drive is it?  ide sata usb ....?
[14:30] <studio> IDE, I believe.
[14:30] <studio> It's internal.  Our old D drive for windows.
[14:31] <usr13> genii-around: possibly ....
[14:31] <studio> I've had corruption problems like this with micro s's, but idk much about big drives
[14:31] <studio> sd'd*
[14:31] <studio> sd's*  lol
[14:31] <usr13> genii-around: If that's it, I would suppose it's a 33GB drive.
[14:32] <studio> usr13, I know it's an 85 gig drive.
[14:32] <usr13> studio: Is that it?  sdb ?
[14:32] <studio> yes
[14:33] <usr13> studio: Then mount it.  See what's there.
[14:33] <sacarlson> studio: if after deleteing all the partitions it still shows less than expected might try dd -if /dev/zero  ??? to zero the corrupted partition
[14:33] <usr13> studio: You know what's supposed to be on it. Right?  Mount it and see.
[14:34] <studio> yes, I kno what was on it, but how do I mount it in terminal?
[14:34] <usr13> studio: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; ls /mnt
[14:35] <studio> u mean sdb1?
[14:35] <usr13> studio: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt ; ls /mnt
[14:35] <genii-around> usr13, studio http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO-8.html
[14:35] <usr13> studio: Yes, sorry
[14:35] <reset3x> alpha1 zulu obek trans to #proj21
[14:36] <usr13> genii-around: That's interesting....
[14:36] <studio> must specify file sys type..
[14:36] <usr13> studio: did you see http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO-8.html
[14:37] <usr13> studio: genii-around   I've yet to deal with EZ-Drive
[14:37] <studio> yea, I read it.  According to them, I need to recompile my kernel >.<
[14:37] <sacarlson> studio ya as user13: points out in his link  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdx bs=512 count=1
[14:37] <genii-around> usr13: So it looks like bios geometry would show it as 30-whatever but then the OnTrack disk manager remaps it internally, etc
[14:38] <genii-around> studio: Have you tried looking in the bios to see if it's set to Auto, or manually mapped to certain type, etc?
[14:38] <helpcrypto> Pici: reported. Thanks
[14:39] <studio> no, let me reboot and check bios.
[14:39] <studio> brb.
[14:39] <usr13> genii-around: sacarlson Yea, sounds like the easiest thing to do is to just wipe and re-partition
[14:39] <studio> I don't mind wiping the drive.
[14:39] <studio> I backed it up, but i want its full size back.
[14:40] <usr13> studio: As sacarlson points out, you probably just want to wipe it and start over.
[14:40] <studio> And I've heard that if you partition/format a drive while it shows a smaller size that you're stuck with it that way.
[14:40] <studio> as in can't get the original size back.
[14:40] <studio> But I think there are ways to get it to register the full drive again.  Just gotta dig em up, I guess.
[14:41] <dorsk> puddi puddi puddi puddi giga puddi
[14:41] <LostMonk> can I move the launcher?
[14:41] <dorsk> by launcher, you mean the unity-bar thingy?
[14:41] <LostMonk> yeah
[14:41] <usr13> studio: sacarlson genii-around Yea, I don't know about the EZ-Drive thing.  I can't really give any advise. But I doubt that there is not a way to get the full size of the drive usable.
[14:42] <dorsk> it's possible with some tweaks in compiz, but AFAIK, there's no native supported way of moving it in Ubuntu
[14:42] <Kingsy> anyone in here used forked-daap before ?
[14:43] <genii-around> usr13: I had boxes using it before under MS ... you would manually set a type in bios, which looked like some small drive specs. But then the OnTrack takes over the mbr and sort of multiplexes the CHS settings
[14:45] <genii-around> ( this was for motherboards whose bios could not understand drives over certain sizes, etc )
[14:46] <rsv> philinux:  Thanks a lot, testdisk recovery worked!!!
[14:46] <usr13> sacarlson: genii-around  Yea, I looked at fdisk's list of drive types and 55 is indeed "EZ-Drive"
[14:47] <philinux> rsv: nice one
[14:47] <usr13> sacarlson: genii-around I suppose if  he would have specified EZ-Drive as filesystem type, he might have been able to mount it.  Right?
[14:47] <subins2000> Hey

[14:48] <usr13> genii-around: So you think it's really just a 33G HD?
[14:48] <Falensarano> What's „Ubuntu First time” ?
[14:49] <Habib> means that i'll start it for the first time
[14:49] <Habib> in my life man)))
[14:49] <Falensarano> Aw.
[14:49] <Falensarano> You russian?
[14:49] <Habib> y
[14:50] <Habib> how do u know?
[14:50] <sacarlson> usr13 I guess it's some method to hide partitions or disk space to hide files?
[14:50] <Falensarano> Only slavs use those ")))" as smileys.
[14:50] <subins2000> Habib: So now Ubuntu is installing ?
[14:50] <Habib> i'm not slav man))
[14:50] <Falensarano> But you've said you're russian.
[14:51] <Habib> cos foreighn ppl consider all the ppl living in russia are russians
[14:51] <Falensarano> Aw. Sorry.
[14:51] <Habib> so there are more than 136 nations there
[14:52] <genii-around> usr13: No, I think it's 80-whatever but that BIOS is reporting it as 33 and the old disk manager software was doing the heavy lifting earlier
[14:52] <subins2000> Habib: so what's the time there?
[14:52] <Habib> u from texas?
[14:52] <Habib> it's 10 to 19

[14:53] <schnuffle> hi, anyone knows a good channel for some bash questions?
[14:53] <zykotick9> schnuffle: #bash
[14:53] <alankila> nm should retain a database of nicks and calculate a similarity metric in terms of shape, to make best use of the few colors it can
[14:53] <alankila> for instance short nicks composed of similar letters should all have different colors, while it's not a problem if a short and long nick get the same color
[14:53] <schnuffle> damned I joined before being connected to the right server so the channel was empty sorry
[14:54] <alankila> maybe overthinking it, though.
[14:54] <alankila> oh, excuse me, wrong channel.
[14:54] <rymate1234> yo
[14:54] <rymate1234> anyone here use glade?
[14:54] <ikonia> rymate1234: not for many years, but I have done a bit
[14:54] <sacarlson> rymate1234: ya glade is cool
[14:55] <rymate1234> how can I make a dropdown that also has a text input?
[14:55] <rymate1234> ye
[14:55] <rymate1234> how can I make a dropdown that also has a text input?
[14:56] <sacarlson> rymate1234: seems it's one or the other not both
[14:56] <rymate1234> :(
[14:56] <usr13> studio: sacarlson genii-around http://fatooh.org/misc/ez-drive.html
[14:56] <sacarlson> rymate1234: just have both with one override the other?
[14:57] <Lartza> I dd'd a 100MB image to a 2GB sd card and gparted shows the drive as unreserved while nautilus shows a single 100MB partition but describes it as a "2GB filesystem"
[14:57] <Lartza> I want the remaining space to use
[14:57] <subins2000> fuchs:Hey i am now running on low graphics mode
[14:57] <ikonia> Lartza: how did you dd it
[14:57] <subins2000> and i am installing nvidia driver
[14:57] <genii-around> usr13: I think UBCD also may have these types of utilities
[14:57] <Lartza> ikonia, dd bs=1M if=0.fat of=/dev/sdd
[14:57] <rymate1234> how would I do that?
[14:57] <ikonia> Lartza: right, so there is no partition table any more
[14:57] <ikonia> Lartza: that's why you do'nt see a sane partition table
[14:58] <Azjo> hi, whats a good channel for graphic design? requiring lots of ram.
[14:58] <usr13> genii-around: Very good.  Probably a lot easier too.
[14:58] <ikonia> Azjo: use the "alis" bot to search
[14:58] <sachael> anyone know of a way to use the capslock light on my keyboard for something useful, like flashing when a window needs my attention?
[14:58] <Lartza> ikonia, Manual partition and cp -a? :P
[14:58] <Azjo> ikonia: where?
[14:58] <ikonia> Lartza: depends what your goal is
[14:58] <ikonia> Azjo: it's a bot called alis - message it
[14:58] <Lartza> Get things working, that will most likely work
[14:59] <sacarlson> rymate1234: all I know is in what I wrote and publish here https://github.com/sacarlson/GenPlayList  oh and it's in ruby
[14:59] <ikonia> "get things working" ??? what are you actually trying to do
[14:59] <Azjo> ikonia: i tried to msg it with a q but no answer ;)
[14:59] <Lartza> ikonia, Install ArchLinux ARM on a Raspberry Pi :)
[14:59] <theadmin> Lartza: ...How is that an Ubuntu question
[14:59] <sacarlson> rymate1234: there are some other good examples on github of glade and other places in other languages
[15:00] <Lartza> I am doing it from ubuntu, it's kind of a general dd question that would fit #linux but since I am using #ubuntu...
[15:00] <ikonia> Lartza: come on, help me out, what are you trying to actually do with the image and the usb disk
[15:00] <minihydra> How do i make fstab entry to automount partition so that it would be fully user writable? I was looking into that and found about umask and similar options, however it seems that in current version of ubuntu those are not supported. Suggestions?
[15:00] <Azjo> anyone who has experience with a Lenovo D20?
[15:00] <ikonia> Azjo: just ask the question
[15:00] <Lartza> ikonia, 0.fat is basically a /boot partition that was once inside another .img with 1.img as ext4 root
[15:00] <zykotick9> minihydra: what is the partition type?  ext/fat/ntfs?
[15:00] <minihydra> ext4
[15:01] <Lartza> ikonia, But I installed the root on a usb stick and now am left with the 0.fat 100MB /boot I want to get on this SD card
[15:01] <subins2000> Azjo: Ask the question
[15:01] <Azjo> im having trouble installing on the raid. windows, linux, anything i do, it simply wont work
[15:01] <zykotick9> minihydra: they mount the partition and change the permission on the mount point - fstab isn't required
[15:01] <ikonia> Lartza: I would partition the usb disk and copy the files onto the usb stick at a file system level
[15:01] <zykotick9> s/they/then/
[15:01] <subins2000> Azjo: So your computer have no operating sytems ?
[15:01] <Lartza> ikonia, What would be "filesystem level"? cp -a atleast saves permissions but :)
[15:02] <minihydra> I want it to be automatically mounted at boot, and not manual mounting with user directive at fstab
[15:02] <Azjo> nope
[15:02] <ikonia> Lartza: uncompress the image, and copy the files onto a pre-created partition and file system
[15:02] <subins2000> Azjo: Do you have a ubuntu cd ?
[15:02] <Azjo> some guy managed to install archlinux on it earlier.. but only because he took away all drives but 1
[15:02] <zykotick9> minihydra: i just mean permission isn't required in fstab - the mount is
[15:02] <nebimler> hi!
[15:02] <minihydra> zykotick9: you mean mount point?
[15:02] <Azjo> yes i do
[15:03] <nebimler> how can I install grub2. i am on live cd now.
[15:03] <zykotick9> minihydra: forget it - someone else can help you
[15:04] <subins2000> Azjo: then istall it
[15:04] <hddisseny>  /nick hddisseny:0i2f3v
[15:04] <subins2000> Azjo: What's the Ubuntu version of the cd ?
[15:04] <OerHeks> hddisseny change your password now
[15:04] <sacarlson> Azjo: so you want a software raid install I assume?  if so you would want the alternate ubuntu live cd
[15:04] <Azjo> i havent actually tried an ubuntu on the system.
[15:05] <theadmin> nebimler: If you are trying to recover a broken grub setup, I suggest following the article ubottu will send you in a sec.
[15:05] <theadmin> !restoregrub ! nebimler
[15:05] <theadmin> Oops
[15:05] <theadmin> !restoregrub | nebimler
[15:05] <Azjo> 12.04 is what i will install if anything, but thats not what i want though ;) i guess its worth a shot to see what happens.
[15:05] <subins2000> Azjo: you can try it using live cd
[15:05] <nebimler> theadmin no recover. i will just install it.
[15:06] <theadmin> nebimler: Okay. Then use the grub-install command
[15:06] <Azjo> that will most likely work yes.. but that wont solve my problem.
[15:06] <subins2000> Azjo: what's your problem ?
[15:07] <Azjo> raid driver issues i believe
[15:07] <nebimler> theadmin grub-install want parametre. i dont know what it is. it writes `device`.
[15:07] <Azjo> not even raid driver issues from the manufacturers site is accepted, when i try to install windows 7.
[15:08] <Azjo> issues? drivers**
[15:08] <applematt> hey everyone! i'm having trouble with configuring an init script. i have placed the script in /etc/init.d and ran "update-rc.d script-name defaults 99", however it doesn't *always* run on boot. i tried chain loading the script using rc.local but to no avail. any ideas on how to make a script run reliably on boot?
[15:08] <theadmin> nebimler: Read the manpage -- "man grub-install", it explains it in detail. Basic use is "grub-install --root-directory=/sdas_mountpoint/ /dev/sda"
[15:08] <sacarlson> Azjo: you need the alternate cd that had the drivers as noted here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LVMOnRaid
[15:08] <subins2000> Azjo: I am going bye. There is lots of people who can help you
[15:09] <Azjo> thanks sacarlson and subins2000
[15:12] <Jung-Lee> meow

[15:13] <Jung-Lee> ok
[15:13] <applematt>  hey everyone! i'm having trouble with configuring an init script. i have placed the
[15:13] <applematt> +script in /etc/init.d and ran "update-rc.d script-name defaults 99", however it doesn't *always* run on
[15:13] <applematt> +boot. i tried chain loading the script using rc.local but to no avail. any ideas on how to make a script
[15:13] <applematt> +run reliably on boot?
[15:13] <FloodBot1> applematt: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:14] <applematt> sorry FloodBot ... i just don't know how to paste. :P
[15:14] <theadmin> applematt: /etc/rc.local is your best bet to run arbitrary stuff on boot. If it fails, I suggest checking the actual script.
[15:16] <applematt> theadmin: thanks for the suggestion. the script runs fine when manually invoked.
[15:16] <sacarlson> applematt: might add some print statments to your script to get some feedback as to what happens with echo , maybe doesn't have needed assets to run?
[15:17] <sacarlson> applematt: or  permition problems or path problems or ....
[15:17] <applematt> sacarlson: it prints to messages using logger, however when the system boots, there are no log entries in messages which tells me it's not running from rc.local or as an init script.
[15:18] <sacarlson> applematt: were did you put your echo?  at start?
[15:18] <sacarlson> applematt: I normaly use cron with @reboot to start stuf
[15:18] <applematt> sacarlson: yes, i put an echo at the top of the script below #!/bin/bash
[15:19] <applematt> hmmm , cron with @reboot ... i'll have to give that a try.
[15:19] <applematt> sacarlson: thx for the suggestion!
[15:19] <sacarlson> applematt: I guess without seeing the script not much else I can tell ya
[15:19] <applematt> sacarlson: *nod*
[15:20] <applematt> sacarlson: i'd love to share, but it's proprietary for work so i'm not allow to do that. :P
[15:21] <applematt> Thanks again everyone! :)

[15:32] <rinzler> veryhappy: do you have any tips to point me in the right direction?
[15:32] <veryhappy> rinzler: i sometimes used pulseaudio, but i think it's just the sentence "please use module-combine-sink instead of module-combine"

[15:40] <SkippersBoss> Richard, startx ??
[15:40] <tobe_> veryhappy: thank you ill look at that now thanks
[15:41] <veryhappy> ryu:  i'm sorry, modems are not my subect area
[15:41] <tobe_> veryhappy: wait i do use a webcam, would it help if i just disconnected it when i dont need it?
[15:41] <ryu> ok veryhappy :(
[15:42] <veryhappy> can someone please tell me how to recover the files in /etc for apache2, i deleted it
[15:42] <rumpe1> veryhappy, you could use your backup
[15:42] <morri> I don't know
[15:42] <veryhappy> tobe the uvcdynctr package is part of the webcam library
[15:42] <Richard> ty skipper, says x not installed
[15:42] <veryhappy> rumpe1: i don't have a backup of this files i know it
[15:43] <melkor> Hello, when I print a pdf file to ps, I get jibberish.
[15:43] <Richard> installing now
[15:43] <tobe_> veryhappy: wouldnt they be deleted into the recylce???
[15:43] <rumpe1> veryhappy, hm... then you have a problem. Remount immediately the root partition as read-only, otherwise the remaining fragments of the file will get overwritten.
[15:44] <veryhappy> tobe_: actually it was a few days ago when i tried to setup apache and then i got upset and deleted them because i thought by reinstalling it would reappear
[15:44] <fl0w> So anyone running Ubuntu as guest in a VirtualBox? I'm having trouble with folder sharing from my host (Windows 8). It mounts and everything but I'm getting permission when accessing for reason?
[15:44] <fl0w> permission error*
[15:44] <Richard> now get failed to load session
[15:44] <SkippersBoss> Richard, question now is how DID you install euhmmm have you installed a server version ?? mayb
[15:44] <veryhappy> fl0w: i also used sometimes virtualbox with ubuntu
[15:45] <Richard> could be server version
[15:45] <fl0w> veryhappy: Ever got that error? When trying to open a shared folder I'm getting permission error, and I don't know why?
[15:45] <veryhappy> fl0w: did you choose which file you want to share with your guest system?
[15:45] <fl0w> veryhappy: Yes, a full folder.
[15:45] <KaZeR> hey guys. can anyone tell me which package is supposed to provide the 'sx' binary?
[15:45] <Myrtti> ryu: Floodbots are bots, not persons able to help you
[15:45] <SkippersBoss> what else is it saying besides failed to load session.
[15:46] <iceroot> KaZeR: lrzsz
[15:46] <ryu> ok @myrtti
[15:46] <Richard> nothing else, just block in middle of screen
[15:46] <veryhappy> fl0w: actually you have to connect to the files mostly under smb://vboxsrv/
[15:46] <KaZeR> thanks iceroot
[15:47] <fl0w> veryhappy: I'm sorry, I'm a Ubuntu newbie. Do you perhaps have a resource or alike for me to read?
[15:48]  * SkippersBoss wants to let richard know he is not an expert. Just some one who has been using ubuntu since 2007
[15:48] <veryhappy> fl0w: it will be described in the virtual box handbook look in there if you have problem and don't how to make something there you should also find how to access your files over shared folders
[15:48] <Richard> ok, any help appreciated
[15:49] <SkippersBoss> back to basics. How did you install ubuntu (which version) on what machine
[15:49] <Richard> version 11.10 on acer laptop
[15:50] <SkippersBoss> CD or usb stick
[15:50] <Richard> cd, have 12.04 on usb stick, but can't get to it
[15:50] <morri> heres a recent version of my driver dmesg for nouveau http://pastebin.com/2rpMFGcH
[15:51] <SkippersBoss> acer won't let you boot from stick ??
[15:51] <veryhappy> fl0w: if you really want to learn ubuntu search in the internet for the things that you want to know... like "ubuntu+how to make ..."
[15:51] <veryhappy> SkippersBoss: acer let's you boot from sticks
[15:51] <Richard> previously had 11.10 on a pc and had no problems
[15:52] <veryhappy> SkippersBoss: i have an acer aspire 6930g it works, unless you didn't set it up in bios then it won't work of course
[15:53] <SkippersBoss> verry happy, Richard is the one with the problem here :-)
[15:53] <veryhappy> SkippersBoss: yea saw that one :D
[15:53] <veryhappy> Richard you should be able to boot over your stick i've got an acer aspire 6930g and there it works
[15:54] <keyword1> hi guys I have a question I have installed ubuntu server I installed X so when i run export display=:0 && xterm
[15:54] <keyword1> xterm Xt error: Can't open display:
[15:54] <keyword1> xterm:  DISPLAY is not set
[15:54] <keyword1> anyone knows why?

[15:54] <theadmin> keyword1: "display" and "DISPLAY" are not the same thing.
[15:56] <veryhappy> so you guys: you can easily reinstall the files that you've deleted for me it was just: sudo apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install apache2.2-common
[15:56] <melkor> Ok, I've figured out the ps issue, but now when I print it will not acknowledge the duplex/two-sided option and just prints single sided.
