[00:00] <hylian> nopolitica, i am confused b your question, could you restate that?
[00:00] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: so then I wont ask how to install OO. I downloaded it and am not to sure what to do with it. Guess I can just delete it. :)
[00:01] <kjs> What version of python is in ubuntu 12.04
[00:01] <kjs> ?
[00:01] <nopolitica> hylian: whenever i listen to music via browser or watching videos, is it possible to use some util like netstat to find correct urls? :)
[00:01] <hylian> nopolitica, I don't know. I don't mess much with media.
[00:02] <trism> !info python precise | kjs
[00:02] <trism> kjs: actually python2.7 is probably more accurate, 2.7.3~rc2-2ubuntu1
[00:02] <kjs> sweet
[00:03] <kjs> If i install beta can I upgrade to stable as it's released?
[00:03] <hylian> does anyone know if you can get the true urls for audio and video streams, nopolitica wants to know
[00:03] <dax> !final | kjs
[00:03] <Kexildrad> I'm having a problem compiling a program that uses ImageMagick libraries
[00:03] <nopolitica> kjs: if you're not sure, then you can't ;)
[00:03] <Kexildrad> I'm using the Magick++-config tool to generate the compiler flags
[00:04] <Kexildrad> to wit
[00:04] <Kexildrad> `Magick++-config --cppflags --ldflags` as an argument to g++
[00:04] <Kexildrad> but I still get ex. undefined reference to `Magick::
[00:05] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: when I do a 'cd $HOME' it still takes me to ~. Are the the same?
[00:05] <Kexildrad> the program is definitely spitting out -lMagick++ -lMagickCore and so forth
[00:05] <Kexildrad> so I'm not sure what's going on here
[00:05] <Kexildrad> I have ImageMagick installed and this compiles on another system
[00:06] <nopolitica> scott_z: ~ is a shortcut for home
[00:06] <trism> Kexildrad: make sure you add the ldflags after the code files: g++ $CFLAGS code1.o ... $LDFLAGS
[00:06] <thirst> how do i install nvidia drivers on 11.0 - "apt-get install nvidia-glx" that package doesnt seem to exist, am i missing an apt-source ?
[00:07] <scott_z> before I go thru all of this is there any real advantage to moving to a 64 bit system that I will notice?
[00:07] <mouth1> how can i change the default color from orange to blue?
[00:08] <Kexildrad> trism, that did it, thanks
[00:12]  * irbinix is away: Gone away for now
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: yes ~ is just a shorthand
[00:16] <ejv> where's ubuntu console font conf's located
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: more RAM is accessible, you will see a benefit with audio and video encoding, for normal desktop use you won't see much
[00:16] <ejv> im plugged into an old crt vga monitor, into an even older p4, need to change this horrid font
[00:17] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: I have 4g of ram and I DO do a lot of video encoding. Would it be worth it?
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: definately worth it
[00:18] <songxk> the Gnome of 12.04 is so coll
[00:18] <songxk> so coll
[00:20] <jerry1680> hello
[00:20] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: Next topic. I was trying to find a good theme manager to try to make this new software my own. I went to the Software Center and I tried to get the Emerald Theme manager and when I click on info it says it is not found. I tried to use apt-cache and the like to update things (i took notes from our last exchange about the libs) but am not having any luck. Any Ideas?
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: emerald is very dead
[00:21] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: thanks for the 64bit advice. I will save that for the weekend.
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: its not been developed for AGES
[00:21] <jerry1680> I have a question about running ubuntu wubi... I have a compaq cq-56 115dx and it gets very hot when running ubuntu latest release
[00:21] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: Then how can I get emerald out of my available packages and can you recommend a theme manager?
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: get the 0.0.5 from here  http://cgit.compiz.org/fusion/decorators/emerald/
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2012/01/install-emerald-theme-manager-on-ubuntu.html
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: seems its in this ppa

[00:26] <Steven> Hi im a new linux user (ubuntu), and i'm in need of some help here in watching youtube videos. Everytime i try to watch a vid only a solid black screen appears?
[00:27] <Laiam> have you installed flash player yet?
[00:27] <mars__> yes
[00:27] <ActionParsnip> Steven: can you use http://pastie.org and give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[00:28] <mars__> hao do  you do
[00:28] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: Thanks for all your help. I cant wait till I have  at least a little more knowledge so that I can give back some of this help. thanks again.
[00:29] <oktokt> If I update my hosts file ( /etc/hosts ), do I need to refresh anything to get it to read? Or does that file get called on the use?
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> oktokt: no, its ready to go
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> oktokt: its read each time a resolution is needed
[00:29] <oktokt> ActionParsnip: Thought so... Thanks.
[00:29] <Steven> Alright ActionParsnip but how do you give the output? do you access the terminal to show it?
[00:30] <mars__> 有说中文的吗？
[00:30] <dax> mars__: #ubuntu is English-language only. For Chinese, try #ubuntu-cn.
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> Steven: use http://pastie.org to host the text
[00:31] <Laiam> Steven: use the terminal for running the command
[00:31] <Steven> oh okay then
[00:34] <Steven> okay here ActionParsnip http://pastie.org/3758996 im i doing this right lol?
[00:37] <xangua> is 10.10 already eol¿
[00:37] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: I checked out all the links you gave me and am unsure why the last one? 'https://launchpad.net/~nilarimogard/+archive/webupd8?field.series_filter=oneiric'?
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: add the ppa and you can install emerald from there
[00:41] <craigbass1976> Anyone know how I can stream audio from one computer and have it play on another box somewhere on the LAN?
[00:41] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: will do.  I do know how to add the ppa though.
[00:41] <Steven> ActionParsnip i've pasted the output here http://pastie.org/3758996
[00:41] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: did not see emerald on the list though
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> Steven: sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flash-properties-gtk adobe-flash-properties-kde adobe-flash-plugin; sudo dpkg -P flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

[00:46]  * ActionParsnip shrugs
[00:46] <Steven> okay then thankyou so do I copy/paste one by one or all of it? (i know this sounds silly but just to be sure!)
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Steven: all one command :)
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> Steven: basically it removes ALL flash, then installs the package you want
[00:48] <Lirth1> Is there anyone good with surround sound? I'm having some problems getting 7.1 to work (5.1 works, and the same headset works correctly in 7.1 on another computer)
[00:49] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: Sorry should have looked past the maintained list.
[00:51] <bfedoralinux> is there any admin that could do a password reset?
[00:51] <Steven> Allright then! Well i just run the command and once thats finished do i go on youtube to try it ? or do i have to resatrt firefox to get it goin?
[00:52] <Steven> restart*
[00:52] <bfedoralinux> does anyone use vmware?
[00:52] <guest____> What are the risks of running as root 100% of the time?
[00:52] <bfedoralinux> your operating system becomes an easy target to exploit
[00:53] <guest____> how so?
[00:53] <bfedoralinux> someone attacks a piece of software running as the root and compromises it
[00:53] <bfedoralinux> they have access to the whole system
[00:54]  * irbinix is away: Gone away for now
[00:54] <akem> guest____, you could break stuff inadvertly / some programs might simply refuse to run as root.
[00:54] <bfedoralinux> running as an unprivileged user gives you protection and safety knowing they only mess up that user's system.
[00:54] <bfedoralinux> You should not need to use root all the time
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> guest____: web facing apps unecesarily running as root are a security risk
[00:55] <bfedoralinux> has anyone used VMware?
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> guest____: account can be attacked as it is enabled, rather than being disabled giving zero chance
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> bfedoralinux: I'm sure many do
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> guest____: no accountability of control of whom can do what on the system
[00:55] <guest____> I am the only one on the system
[00:55] <guest____> No one else will have physical access
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> guest____: ok that's reduced but its still bad practice
[00:56] <guest____> Completely foolish? Or just slightly foolish?
[00:56] <bfedoralinux> I was wondering or lab manager wants to create a clone of the linux os I have installed on two desktops one is Ubuntu and one is Fedora both have Nvidia driver installed and he wants to run it on the sever and allow the client to choose which o/s they want to boot.  would having Nvidia drivers installed be an issue.  Would I have to remove them?
[00:56] <bfedoralinux> ** our lab manager
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> guest____: very foolish, not completely
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> bfedoralinux: i'd remove them if you are doing a p2v
[00:58] <bfedoralinux> they are telling me I dont have to. what issues would they run into
[00:58] <bfedoralinux> if I did not?
[01:00] <bfedoralinux> Action?
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> bfedoralinux: its just one less complication
[01:01] <bfedoralinux> so they could handle the issues if i did not
[01:01] <_Tristan> nm-applet shit the bed and I now need to delete all of it's settings. Where are those files?
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> bfedoralinux: sure just boot to root recovery mode and uninstall it
[01:01] <bfedoralinux> the sever supposedly has Intel graphics set
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> _Tristan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1043039

[01:18] <Dice-Man> i want to execute a programm before login
[01:19] <dunya> really thats my ip ... I m so embarresd i thought it would b more classy than 'cellcopartnerts' :P
[01:19] <Dice-Man> what init file i need to edit ?
[01:19] <dunya> ok what ubuntu
[01:19] <dunya> can you do that in grub?
[01:20] <Dice-Man> dunya: ubuntu maverick

[01:22] <ksbalaji> in 11.4 LTS I now have problem.  Yay!..
[01:34] <Boohbah> SomethingElse: what is it?
[01:35] <SomethingElse> So, yesterday I enlarged my raid 5 from 11TB to 12TB.. But for some reason Ubuntu only sees 8TBs now.. even though the raid manager says its 12..
[01:36] <SomethingElse> when it was 11TBs it saw it no prob.. But now I'm scared to copy anything to it since its not reading right...
[01:41] <SomethingElse> Guess I'll have to try again later...
[01:42] <scientes_> hjow do i get a list of non-default packages
[01:42] <scientes_> im using !~M !~prequired !~pimportant !~pstandard
[01:42] <scientes_> but that isn't good enough
[01:42] <scientes_> how do i do everything ubuntu-desktop requires (inc indirectly)
[01:43] <thelifelessone> Hi, how do I change my systems hostname?
[01:43] <scientes_> thelifelessone, /etc/hostname
[01:43] <thelifelessone> scientes_: Is that the only file?
[01:43] <scientes_> thelifelessone, and the you have to immediately log off and in, otherwise sudo will stop working
[01:43] <scientes_> thelifelessone, on debian/ubuntu, yes
[01:43] <thelifelessone> Ok, thank you.
[01:43] <scientes_> also /etc/mailname if you have a mail server
[01:44] <scientes_> oh, and /etc/hosts
[01:44] <thelifelessone> Ok
[01:44] <scientes_> make sure your host resolves in /etc/hosts for some server software
[01:44] <thelifelessone> Thanks
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> thelifelessone: you'll also need to change /etc/hosts too
[01:44] <Pici> !hostname
[01:44] <thelifelessone> Got it changed. Thank you. Going to relog now. :)
[01:46] <Wingede> is there any solution in regards to segault in libglib-2.0 from gnome-shell ?
[01:47] <scientes_> !backtrace | Wingede
[01:48] <scientes_> Wingede, after you get a backtrace check launchpad and gnome bugzilla for your problem
[01:48] <scientes_> or with gnome-shell, just go straight to gnome bugzilla Wingede
[01:50] <Wingede> scientes_: thanks for that
[01:50] <scientes_> Wingede, those instructions look overly complicated
[01:51] <scientes_> its generally just, install the -dbg package; gdb program; and then in gdb: run, and after it crashes: bt
[01:51] <scientes_> and if you get too many ?? in critical stuff, install the -dbg as approiate
[01:52] <Wingede> scientes_: it's ok they make sense - i've seen this bug reported previously - was hoping there was progress
[01:52] <scientes_> ahh sorry
[01:52] <sparky-> scientes_: even that is pushing it.  they should just accept core file and be done with :-)
[01:53] <scientes_> sparky-, i guess you can use server-side resolving of symbols, yeag
[01:53] <scientes_> sparky-, is there a web site i can paste in backtraces to have them resolved?
[01:53] <thriller> hey guys im pretty new to ubuntu and i need some help figuring out why my nvidia driver will not install right
[01:53] <scientes_> cause i've had embedded platoforms that i couldn't debug cause i couldn't fit the -dbg packages
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> thriller: what nvidia chip do you have and is it a dual gpu (switchable)?
[01:54] <sparky-> scientes_: i don't know of one, but usually that's how we'd do debugging with vendors anyway
[01:54] <BryanRuiz1> how can i tell if ubuntu is 32 bit or 64 bit?
[01:54] <scientes_> sparky-, supposedly fedora manages to get way smaller debug packages
[01:54] <ActionParsnip> BryanRuiz1: uname -m
[01:54] <_Tristan> When I enable connection sharing on my wireless connection, it tries to share it over a hotspot instead of sharing it over my ethernet port. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[01:54] <cyfi> Congrats Whitney Houston! 8 weeks sober today!
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> BryanRuiz1: i686 == 32bit    x86-^4 == 64bit
[01:55] <BryanRuiz1> thanks ActionParsnip.. now to remmebr that
[01:55] <thriller> it is a n250gts im pretty sure its a single chip
[01:55] <sparky-> bryanruiz1: uname -a; check for x86_64 ... maybe look for int size if not on x86
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> thriller: then run:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current    and it will install
[01:56] <thriller> Action parsnip: thanks
[01:56] <sparky-> scientes_: yes, and fedora also uses delta rpm's to reduce download size.  ubuntu should look into that.  real nice feature.
[01:57] <Lawndart> I just have a general question about the beta release of 12.04, if I install the beta will I have to download it again once the final release is available, or can the beta be upgraded to final online just by updating it? TIA.
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> Lawndart: all beta questions in #ubuntu+1 please
[01:58] <Lawndart> ok, thanks. didn't know I was in the wrong place.
[01:58] <CAZ_au> Im upgrading from 11.04 x64to 11.10 x64. As an ex_WIN user i beleive clean installs are best. Im assuming i should do a clean install rather then upgrade (is upgrading via iso even possible?)
[01:58] <CAZ_au> 1) I have a backup of all my downloaded packages, can i just re-add these using synaptic (espesially nvidia-current) Im assuming some natty specific updates wont install.
[01:58] <CAZ_au> 2) Whats your usual Ubuntu upgrade checklist? i also have /home on a separte partition so if i do a clean reinstall i should only check /boot and / for reformatting.
[01:58] <thriller> ActionParsnip: how come i lost my second monitor when i installed that?
[01:59] <sparky-> caz_au: there's no need to keep those downloaded packages around ... unless they're something real special (doubt it)
[01:59] <scientes_> gd connection problems
[01:59] <scientes_> apt-get clean baby
[02:00] <scientes_> _Tristan, you get your q answered?
[02:00] <scientes_> i answered but i got digconection
[02:00] <sparky-> caz_au: the one advantage of backup/reinstall on ubuntu is it will be faster :-)  i'm looking at 2+ hours upgrading my system, while a fresh install would take significantly less time to get back up and running.
[02:00] <_Tristan> scientes_: No, not answered, unless I missed it
[02:00] <scientes_> sparky-, it wont make it faster
[02:00] <scientes_> _Tristan, the share is the one to share ON, not the one to share
 _Tristan, windows does it the same way, they just show the GUI differn't so it makes some configurations harder
[02:00] <scientes_> Bry8Star, uname -m
[02:00] <_Tristan> so I should set my ethernet connection to be shared?
[02:01] <sparky-> scientes_: not "run faster" but "complete faster"
[02:01] <scientes_> _Tristan, select the interface you want to share on
[02:01] <sparky-> scientes_: sorry about the unclear meaning of "faster"
[02:01] <scientes_> sparky-, not really, cause you can use it while upgrading the dpkg way
[02:01] <_Tristan> scientes_: ILU
[02:01] <_Tristan> thanksbye.
[02:02] <CAZ_au> sparky-: Yeah ill do a clean install. the main problem is i dont feel like downloading nvidia-current again. is nvidia packages release specific.. i dont think they are.oh well, i guessill find out soon enough.
[02:02] <CAZ_au> its only around ~50mb but internet in Australia is poop >.>
[02:02] <sparky-> caz_au: nvidia packages are kernel-specific, so you'll have to rebuild it anyway
[02:04] <scientes_> CAZ_au, all you have to do is apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current
[02:04] <scientes_> sparky-, WRONG
[02:04] <scientes_> CAZ_au, and you dont even need to do that, if you dont have the deb still
[02:04] <scientes_> dkms should deal with it
[02:05] <scientes_> also, i use apt-cacher-ng
[02:07] <CAZ_au> okay, thanks guys. i guess i can also scap any updates my friend downloads from his APT cache as he is also installing Ubuntu 11.10 64bit today aswell.
[02:08] <bretzel> Hello, just installed Ubuntu 12.04 (b2) and... wow, I was away from it since 2-3 years. But the new Unity mixed with gtk3/gnome3 is just awesome! Congrats to Ubuntu dev. !
[02:08] <scientes_> CAZ_au, apt-cacher-ng is highly recommended

[02:08] <sanitypassing> Hi, I'm having an issue with my mouse. It's double-clicking when it shouldn't be. Is there any kind of fix for this?
[02:08] <thriller> dose anyone know why when i installed my nvidia driver i lost my second monitor?
[02:08] <scientes_> if you have more than one ubuntu comp on the network
[02:08] <scientes_> sanitypassing, troubleshoot with xev and evtest
[02:08] <dustinspringman> i've installed 12.04, running very well.. however, I am trying to install the package: gnome-shell-extensions-user-theme, it fails with the following: The following packages have unmet dependencies:

[02:08] <dustinspringman> E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | is this because I've on the beta and the package hasn't yet been moved out of incoming or am I doing something wrong?
[02:08] <bretzel> xangua: uh ... okay thanks :-)
[02:08] <sanitypassing> scientes_: Ok, how do I do that?
[02:09] <scientes_> sanitypassing, run xev in the terminal
[02:09] <dustinspringman> sorry about the multi-lines, thought I killed those before I hit enter..
[02:09] <xangua> dustinspringman: #ubunrtu+1 for pangolin jum
[02:09] <xangua> #ubuntu+1
[02:09] <_Tristan> scientes_: computer #2 can connect but no internet access
[02:09] <scientes_> sanitypassing, also there is a slider of sorts in system-settings-->mouse
[02:09] <dustinspringman> xangua: thanks
[02:09] <sanitypassing> scientes_: I saw that. It's as far as it'll go.
[02:09] <scientes_> _Tristan, paste; "ip route" and "ip addr" of the client
[02:10] <scientes_> sanitypassing, yeah, then xev and evtest are the canonical troubleshooters
[02:10] <sanitypassing> ok
[02:11] <KarmaComa> Hello, I basically had Kubuntu 12.04 installed from scratch, and yesterday I opened muon and installed gnome, when I'm logged-in in gnome3 and I make a restart order it freezes at some point while the screen of Kubuntu and the blinking dots is on, any help please why I can't restart my computer
[02:12] <TheNexT> TechXplorer, are you using ubuntu?
[02:12] <xangua> KarmaComa: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin...
[02:12] <CAZ_au> scientes_:  "A caching proxy. Specialized for package files from Linux distributors, primarily for Debian (and Debian based)"   -  dosnt look all that useful to me?
[02:12] <KarmaComa> xangua: sorry?
[02:12] <sanitypassing> yeah, the output from evtest definitely confirms it's clicking more than it should be

[02:12] <mkultra_> switch to GDM and experience it in GDM KarmaComa
[02:12] <scientes_> should i use GDM for multiseat?

[02:14] <mkultra_> i use gdm and i run xfce
[02:14] <mkultra_> lightdm's coming along nicely

[02:16] <scientes_> that stuff is annoying
[02:17] <scientes_> is there a package i can remove to get rid of branding?
[02:21] <Hoyt> hi , is it safe to use 12.04 beta2 now ?
[02:22] <mkultra_> if you can use 11.10 id say you'd be safe
[02:22] <Hoyt> I have a Dual Core Intel CPU , can I use 64bit: ubuntu-12.04-beta2-alternate-amd64+mac.iso ?
[02:22] <mkultra_> for me, they are both about equally buggy on my drivers
[02:23] <mkultra_> i think so hoyt
[02:23] <Hoyt> okay
[02:24] <_Tristan1> scientes_: finally got the. IP: <IP_ADDRESS> route <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:24] <c_smith> is it possible to mount an Android Media Server app on an Android device in Ubuntu?
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> Hoyt: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise support please
[02:25] <mkultra_> id look for a android transfer program
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: what are you wanting to achieve?
[02:26] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, use of my Android device's media server app.
[02:26] <c_smith> on Ubuntu, of course
[02:26] <mkultra_> like remote?
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: so your androiid device is sharing some files?
[02:26] <c_smith> media files.
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: how would you connect from Ubuntu>#
[02:27] <mkultra_> id mount the drive, then move files to it like that if possible
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: and what version of Android and what handset?
[02:27] <c_smith> no clue, I've seen a buddy's Windows Media Player utilized these files remotely.
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: is it bluetooth or over USB?
[02:27] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, Acer Iconia Tab A100 with the testing build of 4.0
[02:28] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, over network.
[02:28] <mkultra_> this is like sherades
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: what happened to 'no clue' then?
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: when you know it's over the network?
[02:28] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, as in I'm not sure how Windows media player is picking this up (protocol), I just know it's over the network.
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: what service did you install to get the files shared?
[02:29] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, It's the default Media Server app that is activated in settings.
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> mkultra_: charades ;)
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: ok let me search..
[02:29] <mkultra_> fuck it im a r tard
[02:29] <bazhang> mkultra_, stop the cursing
[02:30] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, I'm currently googling this myself.
[02:30] <mkultra_> sorry i have turrets too
[02:30] <Boogerhead> Kind folks, I've got Gnome classic on 12.04b2. In the network connection thing, most of the wireless routers I see are grayed out -- any idea?
[02:31] <bazhang> Boogerhead, #ubuntu+1 for that
[02:31] <_Tristan1> nm-applet connects and disconnects so often that it's killing my computer via notificationspam. I've tried disabling notifications but it does nothing. Help?
[02:31] <Boogerhead> @bazhang, thanks
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> Boogerhead: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise support please
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: sounds like its setting itself up as a uPnP share
[02:34] <ejv> !list
[02:34] <c_smith> yep, After finding a copy of the manual and reading it, I can safely say that is true.
[02:34] <ejv> sigh
[02:34] <ejv> !listserve
[02:34] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, is there a way to mount those?
[02:34] <ejv> stupid b ot
[02:34] <bazhang> ejv, /msg ubottu please
[02:34] <ejv> is there a general ubuntu listserve
[02:34] <pangolin> ejv, the bot is not stupid. it is replying with the info it knows
[02:34] <ejv> yes it *is*
[02:34] <bazhang> ejv, whats a listserve
[02:34] <ejv> something old people like me use lol
[02:35] <pangolin> !alis
[02:35] <ejv> there's ubuntu-announce, ubuntu-devel, etc. but im looking for a general user one
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: you don't mount it, you connect to it with a media device. If you want to mount it I suggest you install a samba server in the phone and share a folder. It will show up as a Windows share and you can mount it
[02:35] <bazhang> ejv, #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:35] <mkultra_> my vintage 1970's flashlight rules
[02:36] <bazhang> !ot | mkultra_
[02:36] <ejv> it's related to ubuntu
[02:36] <c_smith> ActionParsnip, Looks like connecting to it is what I intend to achieve, is Rhythmbox capable of this?
[02:36] <ejv> nvm, i found it
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> c_smith: should be, not sure. I don't use it
[02:36] <ejv> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/
[02:36] <wylde> c_smith, ActionParsnip there's always djmount. It mounts upnp shares as a local FS using FUSE.
[02:37] <ejv> fyi ;)
[02:37] <wylde> !info djmount
[02:39] <AcidRain2012> how do i properly kill a file operations copy
[02:39] <AcidRain2012> when i click the cancel, or the x. it goes away. but then when i try to transfer it again, it starts back where it left off, locked up
[02:40] <FreezingCold> Are there any free ubuntu ssh servers out there?
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> AcidRain2012: could try pressing ALT+F2 and run:  xkill
[02:40] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: openssh-server
[02:41] <FreezingCold> ActionParsnip: ...yeah no
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: most apps in the repos is free
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: what does '...yeah no'  mean??
[02:42] <wylde> FreezingCold: are you meaning a free ubuntu shell account? Or your own ssh server?
[02:42] <ejv> dropbear is quite nice FreezingCold
[02:42] <FreezingCold> wylde: Shell
[02:42] <wylde> FreezingCold: I thought so, just wanted to clarify. Thanks.
[02:44] <giiker> FreezingCold: I used to use this one: http://sdf.org/?join
[02:45] <naggu> I have currently only ubuntu beta2 installed, once live version comes do I have to reformat and install all over again?
[02:45] <FreezingCold> giiker: Can I do reverse ssh tunnels with it?
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> naggu: #ubuntu+1 please
[02:46] <giiker> FreezingCold: hmmm, never tried it, but I don't  think so.
[02:49] <sparky-> freezingcold: reverse ssh tunnels?  for what purpose?  why not use tor or some other anonymizer then?
[02:53] <nbros652> FreezingCold: what are you attempting to accomplish?
[02:54] <scientes__> FreezingCold, a SOCKS 5 is probably what you want
[02:54] <FreezingCold> scientes__: dunno
[02:54] <scientes__> FreezingCold, google it
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> FreezingCold: well if you dunno, how can we help....
[02:55] <scientes__> if you just want to be annonymous, welll i could do a whole essay on that
[02:55] <scientes__> but tor is good
[02:55] <scientes__> also: firefox+adblockplus (easylist, antisocial)+refcontrol+cslite+many many more
[02:56] <giiker> FreezingCold: for annonymity, start with a Live CD first, i'd say...
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> scientes__: plus a long list of bad sites resolving to localhost :)
[02:59] <scientes__> ActionParsnip, adblockplus does that for you
[02:59] <scientes__> (in firefox)
[02:59] <giiker> ActionParsnip: "localhost is home" :)
[02:59] <scientes__> and much faster
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> scientes__: i don't use firefox, I cat a list of addresses after each new install. Works well
[03:02] <scientes__> ActionParsnip, ubuntu also dropped the xul-ext-adblockplus package
[03:02] <scientes__> which still exists in debian
[03:03] <scientes__> ActionParsnip, do you know why ubuntu started statically linking libxul in xulrunner/mozilla packages?
[03:03] <scientes__> or at least not using the same libxul across firefox+thunderbird
[03:03] <scott_z> ActionParsnip: Seems that my libavcodec is lacking MPEG Audio layer 1/2/3. Any ideas how to fix this?
[03:03] <Drecondius> Has anyone had an issue where Ubuntu would not install on their rig but will install in a VM?
[03:04] <GridCube> nope
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> scientes__: no idea, I don't pay much attentio to anything mozilla makes tbh
[03:05] <scientes__> why does this program quit when i ltrace it?
[03:05] <scientes__> +++ killed by SIGTRAP +++
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> scott_z: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:06] <scientes__> ActionParsnip, oh, chromium also has adblockplus
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> scientes__: I already have the functionality, works in any OS too :)
[03:07] <Drecondius> The live installer keeps hanging when detecting my hdds, won't boot into live mode or text based install
[03:07] <edward__> why wont upstart use the sleep binary? it just ignores it in my script
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: did yuo MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[03:08] <Drecondius> md5, sha1
[03:08] <Drecondius> iso's good
[03:08] <scientes__> +++ killed by SIGTRAP +++
[03:08] <scientes__> what is this
[03:08] <Drecondius> all 3 of em
[03:08] <edward__> IT'S A TRAP
[03:08] <scientes__> edward__, not quite
[03:09] <scientes__> its preventing me from debugging xbmc (with ltrace_
[03:09] <scientes__> when i connect xbmc just SIGTRAP, and dies
[03:09] <Drecondius> At first I thought it was bc of x64 but no, the x86 iso does it as well
[03:09] <scientes__> Drecondius, but it boots and runs fine?
[03:10] <Drecondius> in a vm
[03:10] <scientes__> oh wait, u said it doesn't
[03:10] <scientes__> Drecondius, hit esc on the livecd, and maybe remove "quiet" (hit tab)
[03:10] <scientes__> to see the kernel's output
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: are yuo using a CD or a USB stick?
[03:11] <scientes__> you hit tab on the early screen, and esc right after that when you get the flash screen
[03:11] <james-ubc> sup guys, im running gnome 3 and trying to switch a gnome shell theme using gnome tweak tool
[03:11] <Drecondius> both
[03:11] <Drecondius> same issue
[03:11] <james-ubc> and it's not working
[03:12] <scientes__> james-ubc, the ubuntu's appearance menu in system-settings might be overriding it
[03:12] <Drecondius> tried opensuse 12.1, fedora 13,14,15, ubuntu, kubuntu
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: so you are installing into a VM?
[03:12] <scientes__> Drecondius, and none of them work?
[03:12] <Drecondius> i have it installed in a vm right now
[03:12] <comgen> Drecondius : give this a try, disable SMART under the bios, also check drive for damage/error using mhdd, spinrite or OEM disk Util
[03:12] <Drecondius> they install fine in the vm
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: did you test your system RAM using the install media?
[03:13] <james-ubc> scientes__, how would i fix that?
[03:13] <scientes__> Drecondius, also turn on AHCI mode in bios, and turn off ......IDE in BIOS
[03:13] <Drecondius> yarp
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: have you set the BIOS to failsafe defaults
[03:13] <Drecondius> clean as a whistle
[03:13] <scientes__> james-ubc, just change it in the appearance menu
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: do you have the latest BIOS?
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> Drecondius: if no Linux boots, I'd look at the hardware
[03:13] <Drecondius> afaik
[03:13] <scientes__> Drecondius, but looking at the boot messages is far clearer
[03:13] <scientes__> *clean
[03:14] <rafi>  hi guy i just want to ask a question if you can help me thank you . i have download 12.04 unbuntu i have 2 screens so one of them not working and it does not detect or displays 2 screen if you can help me thank you
[03:14] <Drecondius> i'll give a more verbose mode a go and report back
[03:14] <wylde> !precise | rafi
[03:15] <zjo> maybe a dumb question, but i have my cpu overclocked currently in windows .. if i download / install ubuntu, will it be overclocked there as well
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> zjo: if you clocked it in BIOS, then it will be the same in any OS
[03:16] <zjo> right
[03:16] <zjo> okay
[03:16] <phong_> I have an internal DNS server set up. I want to set up dd-wrt so that when some one is getting an IP address via DHCP that it gives them the internal DNS server's IP address as their DNS server. How would this be done?
[03:17] <phong_> I have an internal DNS server set up. I want to set up dd-wrt so that when some one is getting an IP address via DHCP that it gives them the internal DNS server's IP address as their DNS server. How would this be done?
[03:17] <scientes__> zjo, and when you get linux, use lm-sensors to check your temps
[03:17] <comgen> Under DD-WRT LAN DNS set it to the local DNS IP
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> phong_: you can set interfaces to DHCP for address only, then manually set the DNS servers yourself
[03:17] <rafi> ubottu: thank you
[03:18] <phong_> ActionParsnip, oh man
[03:18] <zjo> scientes_: is lm-sensors just for ubuntu? i was trying to decide between linux mint and ubuntu
[03:18] <phong_> can't it get with the dhcp ?
[03:18] <phong_> i just hate to manually assign dns server
[03:18] <IgnotusP> i need help
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> phong_: sure, set your DHCP server to give out the details if possible
[03:19] <wylde> IgnotusP: !help
[03:19] <phong_> i want it to give to client automatic inteald of me fill it in
[03:19] <IgnotusP> !help
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> phong_: then configure your DHCP server
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> phong_: what OS is the DHCP server running?
[03:19] <phong_> winodws 2008 server
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> phong_: then it's not an Ubuntu issue.
[03:19] <IgnotusP> i installed network-manager-openvpn, but it doesnt show up id vpn connections
[03:19] <phong_> actually router
[03:19] <phong_> dhcp is from router
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> phong_: set the device to give out the right IP and the ubuntu clients will use it
[03:20] <phong_> and dns server reside on win 2008 server
[03:20] <ActionParsnip> phong_: configure whatever gives the IP addressing out and the Ubuntu systems will use what they are told
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> </pointing out the obvious>
[03:23] <Xayrz> I am curious if there is any IP list  out there (similar to ipfilter) that names and blocks all ip ranges (0.etc - 255,etc)? I want to something that lists the names and then whitelist things as I go along. Is that possible?
[03:24] <newb_untu> Hi
[03:24] <scientes__> Xayrz, that would be <IP_ADDRESS>/0
[03:24] <scientes__> Xayrz, oh, i know what ur talking about, yeah it exists, ive seen it on fedora
[03:24] <KarmaComa> I have a little problem with my ubuntu, I originally installed Kubuntu 12.04 beta 1, and then through muon installed "gnome" and the installation went fine but 2 little bugs, 1st: when I restart gnome3 it freezes sometimes while showing the blue screen that has nothing but Kubuntu written on it and 5 blinking dots, 2nd bug: I want to see Ubuntu login screen not Kubuntu one with the 5 dots, and I c
[03:24] <scientes__> but i'm sure its packaged for ubuntu too
[03:24] <Xayrz> fedora? Should I google that?
[03:24] <scientes__> Xayrz, but its not for ranges
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> KarmaComa: ask in #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support please
[03:25] <scientes__> Xayrz, its for programs
[03:25] <KarmaComa> I did
[03:25] <KarmaComa> no answer
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> KarmaComa: the wait
[03:25] <newb-untu> Anyone have luck getting wifi working in 12.04 on a MacBook?
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> KarmaComa: Precise is not supported here
[03:25] <KarmaComa> oh ok :)
[03:25] <scientes__> Xayrz, you don't want to block like that period, the most you can do it use wireshark and just see whats going on
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> newb-untu: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise support please
[03:25] <newb-untu> K
[03:26] <Xayrz> scientes__: I don't what to block what (period)?
[03:26] <wylde> KarmaComa: you could take your chances over in #kubuntu.
[03:26] <KarmaComa> i do, but no one  knows about the problem i have
[03:27] <comgen> KarmaComa computer model ?
[03:27] <KarmaComa> processor? intel core 2 duo
[03:28] <KarmaComa> ati amd hd 5570  VGA
[03:29] <comgen> KarmComa : older PC's / Wifi you might need to download the supported driver, I have an older HP 2.3GHz Bcom wifi I had to manually configure, syslog provided this info
[03:29] <KarmaComa> i'm connecting through a direct router cable
[03:29] <Xayrz> Is there IP list with ranges named (similar to ipfilter) that includes all publicly known ip ranges? For example I would like for my ip program to list the ip and the company name (if publicy known). Most of these IPs can be looked up on the web and the information can be fetched, so I would assume there would be some list somewhere?
[03:29] <scientes__> Xayrz, i already said, use wireshark
[03:30] <scientes__> and no, there is no list, its called reverse DNS
[03:30] <scientes__> Xayrz, use dig -x
[03:31] <Xayrz> What is "dig -x"
[03:31] <scientes__> Xayrz, reverse dns, what you are asking for
[03:31] <scientes__> Xayrz, man dig
[03:31] <Xayrz> Thanks man.
[03:31] <Xayrz> :)
[03:36] <track0x15> anyone suggest me a debatable topic in the field of security?

[03:36] <track0x15> wylde: thanks
[03:42] <infekted> ok so my theme and icons got reset to default and it wont load anythemes now is there a way to reset
[03:43] <cirwin> I have a problem with a process that keeps spawning itself
[03:43] <cirwin> how do I go about killing it thoroughly?
[03:43] <faryshta> Is there a way to connect to two different wifi using ubuntu?
[03:43] <xi23> I was wondering if anybody has edited https://help.ubuntu.com/ recently. I don't seem to be able to (or maybe I'm just totally forgetting how to) edit pages.
[03:44] <cirwin> the process tree looks like: https://raw.github.com/gist/238ae9d11cfbab444ed2/578df3d8b370fd593709b573218ebe406ccb750e/gistfile1.txt (*large*) a few seconds after I run "pkill -f pry"
[03:46] <xi23> did ubuntu die? this room use to be very active
[03:46] <comgen> cirwin : ps -A  : then sudo killall processname or sudo kill PID
[03:48] <cirwin> comgen: I tried that a few times
[03:48] <cirwin> the solution in the end was just to mv the program out from under itself
[03:49] <comgen> cirwin : sometimes I must use root to kill off processes, sudo will not do it for some reason so : su -  : then killall or kill PID
[03:49] <cirwin> comgen: that is worth knowing, thanks
[03:50] <comgen> no prob
[03:51] <freesey> anyone know how to switch from this new unity desktop back to the old style gnome or kde window manager? this is really confusing me
[03:51]  * irbinix is back.
[03:51] <bazhang> !notunity | freesey
[03:52] <bazhang> freesey, at the login window select
[03:52] <freesey> thank you both
[03:52] <freesey> Its just quite confusing to me
[03:54] <munki> how's it going all- i have a question. is there a way to tunnel only specific applications through a vpn and how would i go about setting htat up? i can't seem to find stuff online on it, maybe i'm searching for the wrong things
[03:54] <share> so I just deleted Ubuntu partitions using cfdisk ... restarted the computer and windows doesnt boot because of grub
[03:54] <share> how can I solve this
[03:54] <comgen> munki : VPN or SSH ?
[03:55] <scientes__> share, windows restore cd
[03:55] <munki> vpn
[03:55] <munki> comgen:
[03:55] <share> scientes__: ???
[03:55] <munki> using openvpn
[03:55] <share> scientes__: it's a grub problem
[03:55] <scientes__> share, is linux still on the computer?
[03:55] <share> and i dont have a windows cd
[03:55] <share> scientes__: i just removed the partition tables
[03:56] <scientes__> share, oh, if linux is still there, then use the live cd, and use grub-install --boot-directory=
[03:56] <scientes__> man grub-install
[03:56] <share> scientes__: what
[03:56] <share> windows is there
[03:56] <share> windows partitions are there
[03:56] <scientes__> share, if you remove linux, you have to restore the windows boot loader however
[03:56] <share> ubuntu partitions are gone
[03:56] <share> scientes__: yes, how?
[03:56] <scientes__> share, ok, then windows resore cd
[03:56] <share> I DONT HAVE IT
[03:56] <scientes__> share, there are other methods
[03:56] <share> grr
[03:57] <freesey> does KDE still exist as a window manager?
[03:57] <comgen> munki : apps on linux box I assume and you're running linux and/or Xserver win app ?
[03:57] <share> ubuntu fucked this up
[03:57] <scientes__> but they are a bit iffy, as they ship window's MBR
[03:57] <FloodBot1> share: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:57] <share> nice
[03:57] <scientes__> share, you can find the msdob mbr program
[03:57] <scientes__> it use to be in debian
[03:57] <share> grrr
[03:57] <scientes__> but they removed it over copyrigh tissues
[03:57] <bel3atar> who is using KDE 4.8.2 ?
[03:57] <share> i just want to restore windows grub
[03:57] <scientes__> share, its in the archives
[03:57] <share> it should be there!
[03:57] <share> i only touched linux partitions!
[03:57] <scientes__> share, grub doesn't work without a boot partition
[03:57] <share> i dont want grub!
[03:57] <scientes__> share, cause MBR bootloader is 512 bytes
[03:57] <share> grrr
[03:57] <scientes__> that is tiny
[03:58] <share> grub = linux thing
[03:58] <munki> comgen: vpn server is somewhere remote, ubuntu machine is a headless server, i'd like to run an application through this vpn but my other traffic just normally
[03:58] <share> i dont want linux thing
[03:58] <scientes__> share, you just need those 512 bytes
[03:58] <bazhang> !enter | share
[03:58] <share> i want to put like it was before
[03:58] <bazhang> share thats enough
[03:58] <scientes__> share, yeah, well, ubuntu cant distribute them cause they are microsoft's
[03:58] <share> sda1 windows system sda2 windows folders... sda3 etc were Linux and are deleted.
[03:58] <scientes__> share, but i am saying ubuntu use to, and you can get them out of the archives, much easier thatn windows recovery cd
[03:59] <scientes__> share,  also windows MBR hasn't changed since at least XP so XP recovery cd will work for vista, 7
[03:59] <share> scientes__: are you saying to use grub thing to restore windows bootloader?
[04:00] <comgen> munki : I connect via VPN to another network, then I create a ssh script to connect to TOR browser app : as such : ssh -X<EMAIL_ADDRESS>./start-tor
[04:00] <scientes__> share, there is a debian package that can do it, but its only available in the archives, it was removed over copyright converns
[04:00] <share> omg i only want a solution
[04:00] <scientes__> share, the only official way to do it is a windows recovery cd, any version
[04:00] <freesey> Do I need to restart to enable the classic gnome shell?
[04:00] <bazhang> freesey, logout and log back in
[04:01] <freesey> I did, it doesnt seem to be using the classic shell :\
[04:01] <scientes__> its only 512 bytes share, google mbr, and you might be able to figure it out and fix your problem
[04:01] <scientes__> but we cant really help you is distributing Microsoft's code
[04:01] <share> scientes__: im gonna explain: before Ubuntu was installed, there was only Windows. After installign Ubuntu it created grub menu, right? now I deleted all Ubuntu partitions and grub is still showing and I cant boot windows
[04:01] <bazhang> freesey, its not the exact same as classic
[04:01] <share> scientes__: do you understand what i just wrote?
[04:01] <scientes__> share, exactly
[04:01] <freesey> Oh there we go
[04:01] <munki> comgen: i think it's a similar setup, i'd like to have rtorrent -(vpn)-> internet but leave irssi -> internet
[04:02] <freesey> for some reason it wasnt selected correctly
[04:02] <freesey> THanks
[04:02] <bazhang> share , yes and you received the answer, several times
[04:02] <scientes__> share, google mbr, if you install the windows mbr it will all work, but we cant distribute the windows mbr
[04:02] <share> scientes__: so, how can I solve this?
[04:02] <share> scientes__: ubuntu deleted windows mbr?
[04:02] <scientes__> share, its 512 bytes in a special place on the disk
[04:02] <munki> comgen: how did you set it up
[04:02] <share> yes and I think it's there.
[04:02] <bazhang> share, he just told you..  go to ##windows
[04:02] <scientes__> share, yes it did, and any windows recovery cd will fix it
[04:02] <share> bazhang: go to windows? ubuntu ruined the windows mbr
[04:03] <scientes__> they can also help you in ##windows share
[04:03] <freesey> okay i was wrong this doesnt seem to be what Im used to
[04:03] <scientes__> share, and to proove i know what you are talking about, you are getting grub error 22
[04:03] <freesey> this fancy side bar is still here and whatnot
[04:04] <share> scientes__: I dont have windows cd. what can I do
[04:04] <comgen> munki : bash script on my machine calling : ssh -X<EMAIL_ADDRESS>./start-tor : start-tor script is located on the VPN network : you can also just drop to console and type: ssh -X username@ip-address-of-box-here firefox&   <<--just an example
[04:04] <share> its a laptop, it didnt come with cd
[04:04] <share> they dont give cds anymore
[04:05] <munki> ah
[04:05] <munki> so it is a little bit different- you're using ssh tunneling while i'm trying to set up an actual vpn with openvpn
[04:05] <freesey> Do I need to disable unity in the compiz manager to shut off the side bar?
[04:05] <comgen> munki : the tunnel format is : ssh -X username@ip-address-of-box-here name-of-app-or-script-here-on-the-remote-machine
[04:06] <scientes__> share, as i said there is a debian package, but its hard to find, or you can ask in ##windows, or you can download it somewhere else
[04:06] <munki> yes that is using ssh however my vpn server only supports openvpn or pptp connections not ssh tunneling
[04:06] <scientes__> share, its only 512 bytes
[04:06] <freesey> brb
[04:06] <comgen> munki : no connect VPN then tunnel to box, you can do this many ways
[04:07] <four-20> how do i install simple-CCSM on my ubuntu 11.10 . it not aviaialbe on software center
[04:07] <comgen> Munki : once you're connected via VPN that network becomes local to you, ssh, ftp, etc as normal
[04:07] <munki> the issue i'm having is that i'd like to connect to a VPN, but no have it route all the traffic through it, only a specific application
[04:08] <share> scientes__: you're telling me i cant put it like it was before
[04:09] <share> so how the hell should i removed ubuntu
[04:09] <scientes__> share, you can if you just had a little patience, and ability to listen
[04:09] <scientes__> and in the linux world, such a action is easy
[04:10] <scientes__> something like dd if=/windows/mbr of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 skip=not sure but could google for it
[04:10] <scientes__> and it would even give you the command on the mbr wikipedia page
[04:10] <share> omg what is that im not gonna risk some command i dont understand
[04:10] <scientes__> if you just tried instead of whining here
[04:10] <scientes__> but the people in ##windows are going to be able to help you the most
[04:11] <scientes__> share, and seriously there is a debian package that will do it all for you
[04:11] <scientes__> just go and find it
[04:11] <Bean> just installed ubuntu and trying out different features. I ended up here, so Hi
[04:11] <scientes__> Bean, welcome!
[04:11] <freesey> okay no matter what window manager I choose it fires up the default unity one or whatever it is for 11.10
[04:11] <scientes__> irc has been around for along time, and still chugging bean!
[04:12] <Bean> I must say I've been messing about with it for about half an hour now, and its ALOT better, and easier than windows. I struggled to teach my nan to use windows 7, but i think i could teach her to use this easily
[04:12] <RingtailedFox> irc was created back in 1988
[04:12] <Bean> IRC is 4 years older than me XD
[04:13] <four-20> how do i remove my bottom bar alone and i like to install cairodock on my ubuntt 11.10
[04:13] <Bean> Anyone have any suggestions of applications of features of 12.04 i should try?
[04:14] <Bean> or*
[04:14] <comgen> four-20 : right click the panel : remove/delete/move - properties
[04:14] <scientes__> Bean, oh yeah, GNU/Linux is the easiest for people don't think they are "computer people"
[04:14] <scientes__> Bean, try "cheese", and "oneshot", gimp, inkscape, audacity, blender
[04:14] <grapenuts> which date is the official 12.04 release slated for?
[04:15] <scientes__> grandrew, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[04:15] <wylde> April 26th I believe grapenuts
[04:15] <Bean> @Scientes, I have used windows since I was 10, Always been able to use it. Did my diploma at college in ICT and it was HEAVILY windows based.  I want the window /desktop interface I had in 10.04 is that not gnome?
[04:15] <scientes__> Bean, thats how i feel too, windows tries to hide stuff from you
[04:16] <scientes__> Bean, what in windows requires an hour of download is one line in GNU/Linux
[04:16] <share> scientes__: I cant find that mythical package
[04:16] <share> ...
[04:16] <comgen> grape : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[04:16] <Bean> and @Grapenuts, Cheese, oneshot, inkscape and Blender, i shall look at. Gimp and audacity however, I did use on windows, and found them much easier than their Very pricey competitiors
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> freesey: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/
[04:16] <scientes__> Bean, yeah all the "big-box" software of linux is cross-platform
[04:17] <scientes__> Bean, but the real value is the integration, and the fact that "advanced features of windows" are just standard, first-class objects in Linux
[04:17] <scientes__> well, not all, esp with server stuff
[04:17] <Bean> @Scientes, I decided to install ubuntu because my win7 Crashed, and for the life of me i couldnt work out how to reinstall. Everytime i got past language setup, it said CD/DVD Driver missing. hours and days later, i thought oh sod it, USB Ubuntu here i come
[04:17] <Bean> glad i did it now,
[04:17] <freesey> and does anyone know how to turn down the mouse scroll wheel sensitivity
[04:17] <scientes__> Bean, yeah in linux you dont ever get stuck on a hardware upgrade treadmill
[04:18] <xangua> !ot | scientes__ Bean
[04:18] <scientes__> Freeaqingme, system settings in gnome 3
[04:18] <Bean> is ubottu a bot or person? i dont know if i should appologise?
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> !bot | Bean
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> Bean: apologise to her, see what happens ;)
[04:19] <Bean> @Ubottu, Im sorry ma'am
[04:19] <share> scientes__: im thinking of installing other linux distro... can I solve it this way instead of recovering windows mbr?
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> soreau: ubottu
[04:19] <share> will it boot windows?
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> haha, tabspazz
[04:19] <Bean> Whilst this is the support section of freenode, i do have a question
[04:19] <scientes__> share, yes, that will work, and will boot windows
[04:20] <ActionParsnip> share: the bootloading should be managed
[04:20] <share> scientes__: thats what I wanted to to in first place
[04:20] <share> thats why i deleted the ubuntu partitions
[04:20] <Bean> I downloaded rakarack, and tux guitar, Im assuming i can run an aux cable with a converter to make it 1/4 jack into my guitar and it should play through my laptop
[04:20] <scientes__> share, they why didn't you just say that :P
[04:20] <freesey> is it possible to update to 12.04 in 11.10
[04:20] <scientes__> share, most linux installers have a "custom partitioning" option
[04:20] <share> scientes__: but will the new installation replace that old grub
[04:20] <freesey> cause I hate the GUI
[04:21] <scientes__> freesey, the gui in 12.04 is the same, but there are other options in both
[04:21] <scientes__> share, yes
[04:21] <freesey> scientes__,  I cant get the gui to change
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> freesey: yes, if you don't like Unity, install xfce4 and use that. The guide I gave shows how to make the gnome session look like Gnome2
[04:21] <comgen> freesey : console : sudo do-release-upgrade -d
[04:21] <scientes__> !gnome-shell | freesey
[04:21] <ActionParsnip> freesey: much easier to install xfce
[04:21] <freesey> Ive installed gnome-shell package and it just bloody isnt changing it
[04:21] <Bean> @Freesey yes, if you DL the 12.04 ISO, and the universal USB thing where it turns it into a usb bootable, then change your boot priority to USB, it will run live from the pendrive with the option to upgrade, install etc from the mounted version of 12.04
[04:21] <freesey> !gnome-shell
[04:21] <share> scientes__: grub will be installed to the only hdd in laptop
[04:22] <freesey> hmm
[04:22] <scientes__> freesey, you have to click the ubuntu icon while logging in
[04:22] <scientes__> and select "GNOME" with the foot icon instead
[04:22] <freesey> scientes__,  I cant just log out and do that? I have auto login set to on
[04:22] <scientes__> freesey, if you do it once, it will change the default
[04:22] <m477> is it possible to make alias which behaves like ctrl+l which runs 'clear'?
[04:22] <freesey> when I log out and do it, it still fires up the new gui
[04:23] <scientes__> (for your account)
[04:23] <scientes__> freesey, there is also gnome fallback/classic
[04:23] <scientes__> freesey, im using gnome-shell right now
[04:23] <comgen> m477 : edit .bashrc  :  nano ~/.bashrc
[04:23] <freesey> so if I reboot and turn off auto login you think itll take? God I hope
[04:24] <Bean> Are there any other chatrooms within freenode? and how do i access them if there are?
[04:24] <Fyodorovna> Bean, /j channel name
[04:24] <m477>  comgen what do you mean to do with .bashrc file?
[04:24] <grapenuts> yes bean, type /join #[name of channel]
[04:24] <scientes__> freesey, doesn't need a reboot, apt-get install gnome-session
[04:24] <Bean> I dont know the names of any haha,
[04:24] <comgen> m477 : you can add aliases to .bashrc under the user account
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> Bean: there are LOADS of channels on freenode
[04:25] <scientes__> Bean, also if you are using xchat, right-click-->server-->list of channels
[04:25] <Bean> pure linux/ubuntu NEWB had it for about an hour
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> scientes__: thats gonna take a while to load ;)
[04:25] <comgen> m477 : for example : alias dir='ls -A --color=auto'
[04:25] <m477> comgen: I know but assume that I want make alias ctrl+a which runs ls, is it possible?
[04:26] <Bean> Found the channels
[04:26] <m477> comgen: or whatever is it
[04:26] <freesey> oh god this is sad I cant find the console
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> freesey: press CTRL+ALT+T
[04:27] <freesey> thank you.
[04:27] <comgen> m477 : you should be able to create an alias for just about any command however, you can also use keyboard mapping located under settings
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> freesey: works in any DE
[04:28] <freesey> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[04:28] <freesey> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> freesey: do you have software centre open, or updates installing?
[04:29] <freesey> i had synaptic open
[04:29] <scientes> ActionParsnip, you were right, it crashes on the list
[04:29] <scientes> ActionParsnip, but it has worked b/f
[04:29] <freesey> and it said i already had the latest version...
[04:29] <freesey> gmmm
[04:29] <freesey> lemme restart and see since i turned off auto logon... brb
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> scientes: its a lot of chennels. alis is a better way to go
[04:30] <malv> could ubiquity be any more worthless?
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> malv: it installs the OS from the install media to the HDD, I can't think of anything more crucial
[04:31] <malv> seems like its completely incapable of installing on any non-standard layout
[04:31] <malv> crashes, hangs, cryptic error messages. Total garbage application.
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> malv: which release?
[04:31] <malv> all of them as far as I can tell
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> malv: did you update ubiquity before running it?
[04:32] <malv> it's not like Redhat's installer that always works no matter the layout
[04:32] <malv> no. i can try
[04:32] <m477> comgen: I tried to add command 'ls' in  keyboard shortcuts (dont know english name of this option), however do you know for instance where is it determined that ctrl+l behaves like 'clear' command
[04:32] <scientes_> malv, you can set the layout before you boot
[04:32] <malv> i am using beta 2
[04:32] <share> ActionParsnip: should I remove boot flag from windows system partition?
[04:32] <malv> it just hangs at some point
[04:32] <scientes_> with the livecd, and the alternate also asks relatively early
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> malv: or use the alternate installer which installs in text mode
[04:33] <share> im installing linux in space left
[04:33] <scientes_> malv, i've had the redhat installer hang on me plenty of times
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> malv: avoid the update during install option in the installer
[04:33] <malv> looks like that is what I am going to have to do.  The boot flag is not that important but you can use gparted to make sure only 1 partition has it
[04:41] <scientes_> freesey, but you will need unity-2d probably, or gnome-session-classic for something more like 10.04
[04:42] <scientes_> *gnome-session-fallback
[04:42] <Artemis3> scientes_, release is in 15 days i think
[04:42] <malv> go with xubuntu, save your sanity
[04:42] <scientes_> freesey, how much ram do you have on the machine?
[04:42] <scientes_> if it runs 10.04 fine will be fine with the 2d versions of 12.04
[04:43] <freesey> I remember this sucker running 2d gnome with the compiz effects on the cube quite well
[04:43] <comgen> malv : lubuntu-desktop is decent
[04:43] <Artemis3> scientes_, if you prefer a classic desktop try xubuntu or lubuntu, there is unity-2d as well if you like
[04:43] <freesey> but it seems to hate this new gui
[04:43] <freesey> and something seems fishy cause when I logout and backin while selecting a new window manager it wont do it unless i reboot
[04:43] <freesey> speaking of which...brb
[04:43] <scientes_> Artemis3, i use gnome-shell myself, but some people have really old hardware
[04:44] <Artemis3> scientes_, i believe you can also use gnome-shell, but i'm not sure it works without 3d
[04:44] <scientes_> Artemis3, fedora is using llvmpipe to support gnome-shell without 3d
[04:45] <Val1> Hola, alguien podría ayudarme, es mi primer dia usando xubuntu, y simplemente no puedo hacer funcionar el wifi
[04:45] <Artemis3> !es | Val1
[04:45] <michaeljones> Val1: speak english or die
[04:45] <goddard> how can i fix my YouTube Flash Smurfs?
[04:45] <CFHowlett> michaeljones   stop it.  This is not the place for such rude statements.
[04:45] <Val1> Hell no, nodoby helps there
[04:46] <Artemis3> Val1, you are welcome as long as you use english here
[04:46] <joeoshawa> i have tried changing firefox hompage and it always displays a heart picture
[04:47] <joeoshawa> any idea why or how to change it
[04:47] <Artemis3> Val1, perhaps try #xubuntu as well
[04:48] <sacarlson> joeoshawa: so you getting diverted to some other website?
[04:49] <joeoshawa> yes
[04:50] <sacarlson> joeoshawa: maybe an ISP or DNS problem?
[04:50] <joeoshawa> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ph/images/hearts/v_golden_bow.png
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> joeoshawa: try:   echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf      Then try the web
[04:51] <The_Dude> If one were to run the 12.04 beta, do you think there'd be much difficulty in upgrading the beta to the final 12.04 that comes out in a month or so?
[04:51] <sacarlson> joeoshawa: ya good idea ActionParsnip try that
[04:52] <xangua> !beta | The_Dude
[04:52] <The_Dude> ubottu: thx
[04:52] <The_Dude> oh =x
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> The_Dude: you will upgrade seamlessly to the RC. Please ask about precisein #ubuntu+1 in future
[04:55] <scientes_> this page doesn't mention a RC https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[04:56] <goddard> how can i fix my YouTube Flash Smurfs?
[04:56] <scientes_> goddard, why do smurfs laugh when they run?
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> goddard: how do you mean smurfs?
[04:59] <scientes_> goddard, cause the grass tickles their balls!
[04:59] <Val1> Hell i just enjoy ubuntu and i really hate it....im just learning how this SO works after years using mac and win, but everywere when i ask 4 help... i find  rude ppl acting like real  wtf...dont need to be an ass, real hackers dont do that...thanks 4 nothing
[05:00] <scientes_> Val1, well ubuntu doesn't have "ubuntu stores" with 20 people
[05:01] <xangua> if by rude he means no one reads his mind and magiacly resolves problems without one single detail i agree ;)
[05:01] <ActionParsnip> val1I haven't seen you post your issue yet....
[05:02] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: they did but in spanish... they also left
[05:02] <ActionParsnip> so we get vented at, that's not hypcitical of him/her...
[05:06] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: what else is new ;) People don't want to take time to wait nor have the time to learn a new OS properly or for this matter using google to find a solution
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: indeed but they expect (and half rightly so) for the OS to work well etc etc.
[05:07] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: people just seem to not want to try anymore
[05:08] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: "If I can't do it, it's too hard" sort of thing
[05:08] <basic123> ahmadalza: halooo
[05:08] <ahmadalza> basic123: Error: "halooo" is not a valid command.
[05:08] <basic123> !ping
[05:08] <ahmadalza> pong
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> pang
[05:09] <wylde> and !ot , there's a dedicated room for bots and testing on freenode.
[05:10] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: it's understandable that they want the os to work correctly however most manufacturers don't make the right drivers for linux and people don't want to start building a driver from scratch or get a "dirty system" because of endlessly trying to get a driver to work
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: agreed
[05:12] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: in my humble opinion and I am too lazy to use this method myself you need a linux box for testing and a second linuxbox (with identical hardware) which you use once you found a solution for your problem
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: I just buy super compatible hardware, makes life a lot easier, sadly others don't
[05:14] <FernandoCueva> I have problems with flash
[05:15] <FernandoCueva> adobe flash will not work on this pc with linux, only works with windows, the other pc with ubuntu flash works why not with this pc? how can I trouble shoot this
[05:15] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: I have hardware a usb wifi with rt73 chipset that did work quite well in ubuntu 10.04, now in ubuntu 11.10 it only works on unencrypted networks,  seems something changed in wpa_supplicant?  sometimes newer software isn't better
[05:15] <sacarlson> sorry didn't mean to add the name at the start
[05:15] <CFHowlett> sacarlson   thus I always suggest sticking with LTS releases ...
[05:16] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: I do agree with you up to a given point, however when I look again to myself I start using Ubuntu way after I was comfortable using windows just by experiment. and therefore all my pc's are build up for the use of windows. which makes the use under ubuntu a bit complicated but we are getting there anyhow :)
[05:16] <sacarlson> CFHowlett: ya as I do but I was preparing for the next lts to see at what state it's at,  I guess they have 2 more years to fix it
[05:19] <Jordan_U> FernandoCueva: What happens when you try to view a flash animation / video?
[05:19] <FernandoCueva> a black screen Jordan_U
[05:21] <FernandoCueva> I have the plugin installed is not about that, I even tried live versions of ubuntu and it works on 1 pc not the other
[05:23] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: this is the new laptop that I want to by Aspire AS7750G-26712G87BN
[05:23] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: my guess it's the video drivers, what video chip set does this non working system have?  sudo lshw | pastebinit ; if you wish to share
[05:24] <internetking> hey all
[05:24] <CFHowlett> internetking   greetings
[05:25] <FernandoCueva> it says I don't bhave pastebinit package
[05:25] <internetking> you all know how do i change default connection from wired to wifi  so that my pings and traceroutes m,  etc goes out  through my wifi...
[05:25] <Stryker> Hey, I can't get my  windows partition to boot after resize, what to do?
[05:25] <kunji> Hey everyone, recently my Flash video has started to have choppy sound, does anyone know if this is caused by the recent update?  Also I've tried using the 64 bit beta instead, but it seems to have the same issue.  So at this point I would like to check if pulseaudio is the culprit (all of my sound is routed through JACK to ALSA but the browser defaults to pulse so I create a pulse sink and source to JACK because JACK takes full use of the sound system...).
[05:25] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: I guess I should have added ;  apt-get install pastebinit ;  to the line
[05:26] <FernandoCueva> what does that do
[05:26] <CFHowlett> Stryker   you need to boot the windows dvd and run "repair".
[05:26] <FernandoCueva> what is that progry for
[05:26] <Stryker>          CFHowlett I don't have that, and btw it's xp
[05:26] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I moved /lib/libreoffice (and /lib/ure due to LO needing it) to a ramdisk, to speed up access times, but none of the toolbar icons are appearing. :/
[05:26] <CFHowlett> Stryker   in windows 7 the uuid is used in the bootloader.  apparently resizing changes uuid ...
[05:26] <kunji> Stryker: What exactly is it doing?  Probably what CFHowlett said though (usually is)
[05:27] <internetking> you all know how do i change default connection from wired to wifi  so that my pings and traceroutes m,  etc goes out  through my wifi...
[05:27] <Stryker> I dunno, CFHowlett
[05:27] <Jordan_U> CFHowlett: Stryker: Resizing a partition does not change the UUID of a filesytem, nothing but creating a new filesystem or explicitly changing the UUID will change the UUID of a filesystem.
[05:27] <FernandoCueva> I can just paste it here sacarlson
[05:27] <Stryker> I also moved the harddrive
[05:27] <Stryker> partition
[05:28] <sacarlson> !paste | FernandoCueva:
[05:28] <kunji> internetking: check the man pages, but I'm pretty sure you can specify what device to use for those commands as an option
[05:28] <Jordan_U> Stryker: Since this is a Windows problem try asking in ##windows.   I already told you what I want,  what you don't want is the question
[05:35] <FernandoCueva> you want it all?
[05:37] <FernandoCueva> you don't need to see waht's the cashe size of my cpu do you
[05:40] <faryshta> Is there a way to connect to two different wifi using ubuntu?
[05:41] <sacarlson> faryshta: connect to two wifi networks at the same time?  you would need to wifi devices to do so
[05:41] <sacarlson> to = two
[05:42] <malv> hard to believe the alternate installer still has this cdrom bug
[05:42] <malv> what is it? like 5 iterations with this bug?
[05:43] <faryshta> sacarlson, I have.
[05:43] <faryshta> sacarlson, the laptop wifi and a usb wifi.
[05:43] <scientes_> sacarlson, well, various paste services
[05:43] <sacarlson> faryshta: ok then it should be posible
[05:43] <Jordan_U> malv: Please state the problem you'd like support for, and avoid ranting.
[05:44] <malv> Jordan_U: ubuntu sucks is my problem
[05:44] <malv> can't even install it
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> malv: tried the alternate ISO?
[05:44] <malv> tried regular and alternate
[05:44] <malv> both have bugs
[05:44] <Jordan_U> malv: This channel is not for ranting, only for productive support discussion. This is your last warning.
[05:44] <malv> my netbook has no cdrom so the alternate those this cdrom mount error
[05:44] <malv> throws*
[05:45] <malv> Jordan_U: so kick me, faggot
[05:46] <KDC_> what is this
[05:48] <FernandoCueva> so can you help me
[05:48] <FernandoCueva> I have the full text from lshw

[05:50] <scientes_> malv, you can put the livecd on a usb stick
[05:50] <scientes_> oh hes gone

[05:53] <Guest3532> people are using some irc client for ios and are joining this server
[05:53] <FernandoCueva> it's a  R360 NJ [Radeon 9800 XT]
[05:54] <isin> list
[05:54] <isin> hi
[05:56] <enchilado> Guest3532: so?
[05:57] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, you still there man
[05:57] <FernandoCueva> I need your help as to why my pc wont' work with flash
[05:58] <FernandoCueva> you need the video card chipset info? it's clock: 66MHz
[06:00] <dr_willis> video chipset is good info to share
[06:01] <DropsOfSerenity> I have an application which I've made a .desktop file for, It launches the application but then unity launcher does not recognize it as a running window, how can I get unity launcher to recognize it as running.
[06:01] <isin> i have an issue. my laptop is toshiba satellite L646. if i connect head phone, only internal speakers works no voice in head phone. How to resolve this issue?
[06:01] <FernandoCueva> dr_willis, here is all my hardware info http://pastebin.com/bG4ZFzDz
[06:02] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, you there man? I just posted my whole lshw
[06:02] <FernandoCueva> can you guys tell me why flash is not working on this pc then
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> isin: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[06:03] <dr_willis> flash is a pain.. has been for years
[06:03] <isin> ok let me check
[06:04] <FernandoCueva> I went to adobe site /software/flash/about and where the version number should be is all white space
[06:04] <Laiam> FernandoCueva: um are you in firefox? can you see if firefox has the plugin disabled or if it even recognizes the plugin exists. which flash package did you install cause for some reason i see two of them...
[06:04] <bobo37773> If upstream is the developers is downstream the distro itself?
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: can you pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[06:05] <FernandoCueva> I use opera Laiam
[06:05] <dr_willis> google chrome has its own flash built in dosent it. try it perhaps
[06:05] <Jordan_U> bobo37773: Generally, yes. Though there are many levels and some odd cases. I'd love to continue discussing this in #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:05] <Laiam> chromium doesn't bundle the flash plugin
[06:05] <Laiam> so you'll have to manually add the google repo for chrome
[06:06] <FernandoCueva> http://pastebin.com/cGtDygh7
[06:06] <Laiam> FernandoCueva: does opera recognize the flash plugin exists if not see if there is a way to manually add plugins to opera and see if you can figure out how to add it that way
[06:07] <dr_willis> askubuntu.com may have some info on flash in opera also. i dont use opera
[06:07] <FernandoCueva> is not about the plugin I'm sure I tried firefox on live versions
[06:07] <FernandoCueva> and it works on 1 pc not this one
[06:07] <FernandoCueva> the pc is the problem and as someone suggested maybe due to the video driver
[06:07] <Laiam> FernandoCueva: so both firefox and opera are failling to use flash?
[06:08] <FernandoCueva> yea same symptons the problem is the computer
[06:08] <Hoyt> hi , I use alternative iso and USB boot all the time , just forget where to download the kernel / ramdisk for a usb installer ?
[06:08] <rkhshm> guys.. I need some urgent help...
[06:09] <Hoyt> I only remember "hd-media" folder ..
[06:09] <FernandoCueva> me first
[06:09] <rkhshm> I'm trying to run apt-get update/install but end up with this error http://pastie.org/3760151
[06:09] <rkhshm> I'm not running under any proxy
[06:09] <dr_willis> !install
[06:09] <isin> i have attached a file of alsa info accept it
[06:10] <goddard> how can i fix my YouTube Flash Smurfs? The flash update made my YouTube videos blue.
[06:10] <dr_willis> smurftube
[06:10] <FernandoCueva> ActionParsnip, I pasted the result from lsb_release http://pastebin.com/cGtDygh7
[06:11] <aerisique> i'm trying to boot ubuntu off a USB drive on a computer that has a dual boot setup of arch and windows. when i choose to boot off the USB, the screen displays the grub bootloader and doesn't give me the ubuntu installer at all. any ideas?
[06:11] <dr_willis> !nomodeset | aerisique
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: you say you only use opera?
[06:12] <Laiam> ActionParsnip: He
[06:12] <Laiam> He's tried both firefox and opera
[06:12] <Jordan_U> aerisique: Are you trying to boot an Ubuntu installation from USB, or boot an  Ubuntu installer from USB?
[06:12] <aerisique> Jordan_U, the latter
[06:12] <CFHowlett> aerisique   grub is reading the installation setup on your USB, i.e. ubuntu
[06:12] <FernandoCueva> mainly opera ActionParsnip
[06:12] <Jordan_U> aerisique: How did you create this USB?
[06:12] <aerisique> Jordan_U, dd
[06:12] <isin> how to install grub loader in 11.04?
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: mkdir ~/.opera/plugins; cd ~/.opera/plugins; wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/libflashplayer.so
[06:13] <goddard> dr_willis: basically
[06:13] <Jordan_U> aerisique: What is the exact dd command you ran?
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: actually sratch that
[06:13] <aerisique> Jordan_U, dd if=ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m
[06:13] <Laiam> !grub > isin
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: cd /usr/lib/opera/plugins; sudo wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/libflashplayer.so
[06:14] <isin> ok
[06:14] <Jordan_U> aerisique: Ubuntu 9.10 didn't support being dd'd to a drive.
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: its old school, but it works
[06:15] <FernandoCueva> ActionParsnip, the second one right?
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> FernandoCueva: yes the second
[06:15] <Jordan_U> aerisique: And I don't know where that grub menu is coming from, but if that's really the last command you ran which wrote to the USB then it's *not* comming from the USB drive.
[06:17] <aerisique> Jordan_U, that explains a lot.. thanks. The grub menu is coming from when I installed Arch so it's not from the USB
[06:17] <dr_willis>  dev/disk2 you did use the actual sd*. not sda1  but sda. for example. and dd works with 11.04+ only i think
[06:18] <DropsOfSerenity> can I associate a window with a .desktop file, the .desktop file I made works, it launches the application, but then the window it launches is not linked with the launcher I made, and I can't pin just the window, how can I link the 2?
[06:18] <dr_willis> DropsOfSerenity:  what app?
[06:18] <DropsOfSerenity> dr_willis, It's a game called tibia
[06:18] <aerisique> dr_willis, it's most likely the dd incompatibility. I did use the actual sd*. I tried writing to /dev/disk2s2 for shits and just to confirm and it didn't work
[06:19] <Laiam> aerisique: does your bios support boot from usb, and did you select the usb from the boot menu?
[06:19] <Jordan_U> aerisique: You're welcome. 11.04 does support being dd'd by the way.
[06:19] <FernandoCueva> still doesn't work
[06:19] <aerisique> Laiam, yes/yes. I think my problem is solved though - I used dd for 9.10 and it's not supported, thanks for asking though
[06:19] <dr_willis> DropsOfSerenity:  is the launcher running a script that then runs the game?
[06:19] <DropsOfSerenity> dr_willis, I was looking at the .desktop entry spec mabye the StartupWMClass option? I don't know
[06:20] <DropsOfSerenity> yes.
[06:20] <dr_willis> DropsOfSerenity:  java game?
[06:21] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: you might have missed this line in your lshw -display:1 UNCLAIMED
[06:21] <DropsOfSerenity> dr_willis, no, they use their own engine.
[06:21] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, what about it
[06:21] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: I don't think you will have flash working without a driver
[06:22] <FernandoCueva> I have radeon I'm sure
[06:23] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: yes but is seems you haven't installed drivers for your product: RV350 NJ [Radeon 9800 XT] (Secondary)
[06:23] <FernandoCueva> how do I enable it? sacarlson
[06:24] <FernandoCueva> it can use my current driver right? I didn't install anything ubuntu took care of that
[06:24] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva:  I'm a nvidia guy,  so not sure,  next time stick to nvidia
[06:24] <FernandoCueva> does flash runs o the second display or sm
[06:25] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: oh there's two screens?  I assume they are both radion
[06:25] <FernandoCueva> I only use a crt monitor from 1999 using the crt cable the other is unused
[06:25] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: oh I stand corrected I see on the first card driver=radeon
[06:25] <bandu> good morning, gents
[06:26] <DropsOfSerenity> WM_CLASS is unset on this particular games, how can I set it manually?
[06:26] <CFHowlett> bandu greetings
[06:27] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: unless you pluged the monitor into the wrong card?
[06:27] <FernandoCueva> I only use one video card
[06:27] <bandu> CFHowlett: greetings. you feeling okay?
[06:27] <FernandoCueva> and this one only has 1 crt connector
[06:27] <CFHowlett> bandu.  yep.  what kind of ubuntu problem are you having.
[06:28] <bandu> CFHowlett: none, i was just saying hi. thank you very much for the intention, however.
[06:28] <bandu> ubuntu works perfect so far.
[06:28] <FernandoCueva> not 12
[06:29] <Jordan_U> bandu: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. For other (often nonsensical :) discussion try #ubuntu-offtopic.
[06:29] <bandu> yes, sir.
[06:29] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: how does a computer with two video cards not have two video output?
[06:30] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, the display 1 must be the secondary connector that uses dvi
[06:30] <faryshta> Is there a way to connect to two different wifi using ubuntu?
[06:30] <Leo__> Hey! I'm having some problems with the alsa_in command in relation to jack because of what I think is a problem in ubuntu
[06:30] <Leo__> I'm running jack with hw:0 (my soundcard, only one) as interface, and the alsa_in -dhw:1 command is to make jack talk to my amplifier (hw:1)
[06:30] <Leo__> The problem is that, it only works once per reboot... If I disconnect the terminal having run the alsa_in command, I can't run it again later... I get this output:
[06:30] <Leo__> alsa_in -dhw:1 Unable to set hw params for playback: Input/output error Setting of hwparams failed: Input/output error
[06:30] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: ok and can't be the other way around that display 0 is the dvi output?
[06:31] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, I don't know how to test?
[06:31] <brez_> Hi All, I have a headless box, I just set it all up -- installed VNC, however when I vnc to this box unity is not there?
[06:31] <brez_> am running 12.04
[06:31] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: I have no idea, never had two output
[06:31] <FernandoCueva> there is 3 outputs the svideo the crt and the dvi sacarlson
[06:33] <sacarlson> brez_: I think you would have to setup a virtual display for a headless system or it won't detect a monitor so won't start xorg
[06:33] <soee> hi, guys do you know how can i fix this error when trying to run skype: skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtDBus.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[06:34] <CFHowlett> brez 12.04 is supported in ubuntu+1
[06:34] <brez_> sacarlson: already done -- I can VNC to the box, everything works, accept unity is ont there -- I heard changing the settings in lightdm to ubuntu-2d does the trick, however I have forced it to start in 2d, and still starts in 3d :(
[06:34] <kamilnadeem> Hi
[06:34] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, you thought I was using 2 video cards?
[06:34] <CFHowlett> kamilnadeem   greetings
[06:34] <sacarlson> soee: what version of ubuntu is that?  I have skype running ok on 10.04 and 11.10
[06:35] <soee> sacarlson, 11.10
[06:35] <FernandoCueva> like running in some sort of hyperthreading
[06:35] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: I know you have 2 video cards,  I didn't look to see how many monitors you had hooked to it
[06:35] <tanath> is there a way to do an alt+tab from commandline?
[06:35] <CFHowlett> soee   be aware skype is in 2 year old beta and will NEVER see further development.  Each ubuntu issue will just render it further obsolete.
[06:35] <never2far> i'm using ubuntu 11.10. Is it possible to create a virtual interface, assign a different IP then the wireless IP and then make a bridge between wlan0 and new interface ?
[06:35] <soee> sacarlson, i dont know why but last week all worked fine, just today it wont start - maybe after some updates or something
[06:35] <tanath> (especially in compiz)
[06:36] <FernandoCueva> sacarlson, I only have 1 video card with 3 different outputs
[06:36] <sacarlson> FernandoCueva: well it's seen as 2,  they make chips these days that act as more than one
[06:37] <sacarlson> soee: that doen't answer my question of what version are you running?
[06:38] <soee> <soee> sacarlson, 11.10
[06:39] <sacarlson> soee: sorry I missed it before,  wonder what you installed that made it stop working?
[06:39] <soee> no idea
[06:40] <kamilnadeem> Sorry my connection dropped
[06:41] <metulburr> how can i make an external HDD visable from home instead of /media
[06:41] <kamilnadeem> I tried booting Ubuntu 10.10 on my old system and here is the result "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:
[06:41] <kamilnadeem> cx8 cmov
[06:41] <kamilnadeem> Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU."
[06:42] <sacarlson> soee: You should check System-->Administration-->Synaptic Package Manager-->File-->History  see what you installed when is stoped and uninstall it
[06:42] <kamilnadeem> full report here https://plus.google.com/u/0/112759940931397244391/posts/J7GdaP7nKX1
[06:42] <sacarlson> soee: or better to purge it
[06:46] <tafelpoot> metulburr: you can specify a mountpoint in /etc/fstab for that disk
[06:46] <metulburr> tafelpoot:  i was looking for a tmp way
[06:48] <tafelpoot> metulburr: you can just mount it manually
[06:48] <tafelpoot> mount /dev/disk ~/mountdir
[06:49] <tanath> is there a way to do an alt+tab from commandline (particularly in compiz)?
[06:49] <internetking> when i tried some things it says like this... unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap"

[06:54] <kartook> thanks guys
[06:54] <ma1> I just installed the "linux-source" pkg from Ubuntu Software Center
[06:55] <ma1> thanks CFHowlett
[06:55] <ma1> I am running Ubuntu 11.10
[06:55] <Bluemalkin> hi - does anyone know of a .deb apt repo which supports multiple versions of a package? reprepro does not support it
[06:55] <internetking> when i tried some things it says like this... unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap"
[06:55] <internetking> how to fix it?
[06:55] <ma1> i am wondering after install where are the source files?
[06:56] <Jordan_U> ma1: dpkg -L linux-source-VERSION_HERE
[06:57] <tafelpoot> internetking: try google ;-)  http://yoodey.com/solving-gtk-warning-unable-locate-theme-engine-modulepath-pixmap
[06:57] <gr33n7007h> giyf !!
[06:58] <ma1> Jordan_U: Let me check it
[06:59] <blackrock> Hi! How many hard drives can I use with an Ubuntu system? Is there a formula to calculate it?
[07:00] <ma1> Jordan_U: it display the doc file locations which are /usr/share/doc/source ....
[07:00] <Jordan_U> blackrock: There shouldn't be any limit which you could possibly hit.
[07:01] <ma1> Jordan_U: but in the bottom it says that Package `<IP_ADDRESS>.20' is not installed.
[07:01] <fidel> blackrock: afaik as much as you can connect ot the system
[07:01] <blackrock> Jordan_U, fidel, thanks!
[07:01] <fidel> so .... feel free to open your hardware zoo
[07:01] <Jordan_U> blackrock: You're welcome.
[07:02] <Jordan_U> ma1: What is the exact commadn you ran?
[07:02] <ma1> Jordan_U: but Ubuntu Software Center says that <IP_ADDRESS>.20 is installed
[07:02] <ma1> Jordan_U: dpkg -L linux-source <IP_ADDRESS>.20
[07:02] <brez_> Anyone know why my ubuntu would start in 'ubuntu 3d' even though I have lightdm.conf set to 'user session=ubuntu-2d' ?
[07:03] <Jordan_U> ma1: That should have been "dpkg -L linux-source-<IP_ADDRESS>.20"
[07:03] <ma1> Jordan_U: ohhhhh...sorry
[07:04] <Jordan_U> ma1: np :)
[07:05] <ma1> Jordan_U: the problem is still there
[07:05] <metulburr> tafelpoot: how would i unmount it from there, because when i umount it, i get directory is not mounted error
[07:05] <ma1> Jordan_U: "dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-source" gives me only two names
[07:06] <Jordan_U> ma1: And those are?
[07:06] <ma1> Jordan_U: linux-source and linux-source-3.0.0
[07:07] <Jordan_U> ma1: Then "dpkg -L linux-source-3.0.0".
[07:07] <metulburr> tafelpoot: http://codepad.org/tu5VZVBF
[07:07] <ma1> Jordan_U: it throws a lot of file locations
[07:08] <ma1> Jordan_U: but

[07:08] <CFHowlett> tomasz   greetings
[07:08] <tomasz> i have problem to install secound ubuntu on one harddisk
[07:08] <tafelpoot> metulburr: specify only one dir.. only specify the device OR the dir... not both
[07:08] <ma1> Jordan_U: but my kernel version is "3.0.0-12-generic"
[07:08] <tomasz> i get always error: first load kernel
[07:08] <CFHowlett> tomasz   wait, 2 ubuntus on 1 hard drive?  Why?
[07:09] <tomasz> i have lubuntu and wont mint
[07:09] <tomasz> i need instal mint linux
[07:09] <Jordan_U> !mint | tomasz
[07:10] <tomasz> i try install difrent options and cant start from grub
[07:10] <tomasz> lubuntu start normal and win7 but mint say no kernel loaded
[07:12] <Jordan_U> tomasz: Linux Mint is not supported here. Period.
[07:12] <aknewhope> #ubuntu
[07:13] <ma1> Jordan_U: what should i do now?
[07:13] <tomasz> o
[07:13] <tomasz> ok

[07:13] <tomasz> to system start normal
[07:14] <metulburr> tafelpoot: when trying to unmount from path i got same error, but worked when unmount the drive, but i would like to unmount it from the the path only and not unmount it completely
[07:14] <metulburr> tafelpoot: http://codepad.org/ArWbUKi1
[07:14] <Jordan_U> tomasz: Linux Mint is not supported here. Period. #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[07:14] <Jordan_U> ... Is the right place to ask your question.
[07:15] <p`p> &tomasz; did you ever successfully boot into mint?
[07:16] <p`p> if not, reinstall on that partition hope that grub sets up the way you want it or you'll be googling about grub
[07:16] <Simooon> when installing new repositories from ppa how do I define that I want the version from the ppa and not the one in the original repos?
[07:17] <tomasz> p`p i reinstall mint and do update-grub but dont work
[07:17] <Simooon> (installing inkscape on lucid)
[07:18] <GirlyGirl> Simooon: It installs the newer version by default
[07:18] <ma1> Jordan_U: locate "<IP_ADDRESS>.20" gives "/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-source_<IP_ADDRESS>.20_all.deb"
[07:19] <Simooon> GirlyGirl, That is what I usually experience but this time it does not work?!
[07:20] <Simooon> I'm trying an other repos
[07:22] <christiaan> hello guys
[07:23] <CFHowlett> christiaan   greetings
[07:23] <christiaan> i have a little problem with ubuntu
[07:23] <christiaan> my graphical user interface won't load anymore
[07:24] <christiaan> anyone has an idea
[07:24] <Simooon> christiaan, I once had that problem after installing a driver for my nVidia card
[07:24] <Simooon> could that be the case for you?
[07:25] <Simooon> my GUI would start after 5 minutes or so, though
[07:25] <Simooon> I could force it to start by using startx
[07:25] <tomgeorge> where can I get help on glade interface design
[07:27] <tjdinmaine> anyone talking or just coming and going
[07:29] <tanath> anyone else get a flicker when switching desktops/workspaces 12.04?
[07:29] <fidel> tanath: unity/gnome-shell/something else?
[07:29] <tanath> fidel, compiz
[07:30] <tanath> fidel, started after release upgrade
[07:30] <tanath> fidel, xfce
[07:30] <fidel> tanath: as 12.04 isnt yet released you might ask in #ubuntu+1
[07:30] <brez> team, anyone know of a ubuntu torrent client which supports IPv6?
[07:30] <tanath> fidel, woops
[07:31] <tanath> brez, have you tried deluge?
[07:31] <brez> nope, but I will -- do you recommend?
[07:32] <c3sso> what is the gsettings command to hide the panels in fallback mode?
[07:32] <tanath> brez, seems to be the best torrent client for linux. i'd be surprised if it didn't
[07:32] <brez> Thanks, will download now!
[07:34] <tanath> brez, yep, just checked. it uses libtorrent, which supports ipv6
[07:37] <rkhshm> guys any idea why I'm facing this issue http://pastie.org/3760151
[07:38] <rayne> just installed deluge myself, seems great, thanks for the suggestion
[07:38] <MordFustang> Can someone tell me how to search for files in folders ? :D
[07:38] <tanath> rayne, np
[07:39] <tanath> rkhshm, looks to me like you're using a local proxy, which isn't working/running at the moment
[07:42] <ma1> can anyone tell me how install kernel source code on my ubuntu 11.10
[07:43] <ma1> using apt-get
[07:43] <prem> does ubuntu supports font embedding feature in its office suite?
[07:43] <rkhshm> tanath: no im not using any local proxy
[07:44] <sacarlson> MordFustang:  ls this*.sh ;   will find any file in present dir  with names like this_is_it.sh  ;  or look at man find
[07:44] <rkhshm> tanath: any ideas pls
[07:45] <GirlyGirl> ma1: Do you want to compile the kernel?
[07:45] <sacarlson> rkhshm: as tanath: pointed out seems you have an internet connection problem,  does your browser work on that system to any wan address?
[07:45] <Guest60004> Hey I'm getting alot of crackling sound while trying to listen to music with a fresh install of 11.10, anyone know a cure?
[07:46] <rkhshm> sacarlson: yes.. my machine has absolutely no issues connecting to any domain
[07:46] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: Which sound card do you have?
[07:46] <tokinwhiteman> what dns server are you using?
[07:46] <sacarlson> rkhshm: and does you system normaly use a proxy?
[07:46] <Guest60004> GirlyGirl how do i find this out? sorry im new to this
[07:46] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: Can you provide your complete system specs, sound card, processor, memory
[07:46] <ma1> GirlyGirl: no...just want understand some code
[07:46] <rkhshm> sacarlson: well off-late I've begun to use SAHI proxy server.. so yes.. But I've shut down the proxy server long ago
[07:47] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: Open terminal and use "lspci"
[07:47] <sacarlson> rkhshm: well that would be a problem if you shut down the proxy server but your apt-get is still tring to use it
[07:47] <GirlyGirl> ma1: Then go to the kernel website and download the source from there
[07:47] <rkhshm> and when i pgresp for that proxy server I dont see it running
[07:47] <rkhshm> sacarlson: hmm.. so how do i fix this?
[07:48] <sacarlson> rkhshm: so I guess you need to change your proxy settings
[07:48] <rkhshm> how do i fix apt-get to use "no proxy" ?
[07:48] <sacarlson> rkhshm: I'm not sure how you set them up so you must be the expert not me
[07:48] <tanath> rkhshm, it looks like your system is trying to use one nonetheless. it failed because a local port wasn't allowing it
[07:48] <Guest60004>
[07:48] <Guest60004> GirlyGirl here's my lspci: http://pastebin.com/Yi8KfxYN
[07:49] <sacarlson> rkhshm:  might be better to google how to set it to proxy and do the reverse
[07:49] <tanath> Guest60004, frequently killing pulseaudio will do the trick
[07:49] <Guest60004> tanath cool, how do i do that?
[07:49] <tanath> Guest60004, pkill pulseaudio
[07:49] <rkhshm> sacarlson: here is the interesting part.. I started the proxy server and tried apt-get and it still failed
[07:49] <Guest60004> tanath didn't work :-/
[07:49] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: Can you monitor your cpu usage while playing audio
[07:49] <tanath> Guest60004, switch everything you can to use alsa directly...
[07:49] <rkhshm> so if proxy was being used by apt-get it should have worked when i started the proxy server
[07:49] <tanath> well, it was worth a shot
[07:49] <rkhshm> but it didn't
[07:50] <ma1> GirlyGirl: but if i want to use the code for my installed kernel
[07:50] <GirlyGirl> ma1: Its the same code!
[07:50] <sacarlson> rkhshm: I'm not sure, what changes did you make to setup the proxy?
[07:50] <Guest60004> GirlyGirl i'll try, not sure how though, ill do a google
[07:51] <rkhshm> sacarlson: i only launch the server and change port numbers in the browser... that's all..
[07:51] <tanath> does anyone know or if 'top' is installed by default?
[07:51] <rkhshm> But i've shut it down already
[07:51] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: use "top" in terminal
[07:51] <tokinwhiteman> top
[07:51] <rkhshm> tanath: yes top is installed by default
[07:51] <tanath> htop is better, but if 'top' is what's there..
[07:51] <sacarlson> rkhshm: oh how did changing the browser proxy effect the apt-get?
[07:52] <Guest60004> GirlyGirl well doesnt seem to be using that much cpu
[07:53] <Guest60004> 12%
[07:53] <tanath> rkhshm, you might assume that, but not if the proxy is having issues. can you avoid routing through the proxy?
[07:53] <GirlyGirl> Guest60004: Does the crackling occur with all sound applications?
[07:53] <sacarlson> rkhshm: well I google and found this is how proxy is set in apt-get export http_proxy=http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport
[07:53] <ma1> GirlyGirl: what about patches made by Ubuntu....also my installed kernel version difference?
[07:54] <tanath> Guest60004, test with aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
[07:54] <sacarlson> rkhshm: so I guess something must have done that?  if so how is that reversed?
[07:54] <rkhshm> tanath: well I've shut down the server itself. and the only routing i do is with the browser that's all.. so when i shut down the proxy and revert browser settings it should work fine
[07:54] <Guest60004> GirlyGirl only noticed it with banshee (which i uninstalled) and now rhythmbox
[07:54] <Guest60004> tanath nothing played, sound wise
[07:54] <Guest60004> with that command
[07:55] <tanath> rkhshm, IIRC when you set the proxy in gnome it is generally used by the rest of the system too
[07:55] <sacarlson> rkhshm: changing your browser proxy has no effect on apt-get as far as I know
[07:55] <tanath> Guest60004, that's not right
[07:55] <tanath> !soundtroubleshooting | Guest60004
[07:55] <GirlyGirl> ma1: apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
[07:55] <tanath> hrm
[07:56] <tanath> Guest60004,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[07:56] <rkhshm> sacarlson: yes That's what is worrying me.
[07:56] <Guest60004> cool, i'll try rebooting, brb
[07:56] <tanath> sacarlson, depends how he set it
[07:57] <ma1> GirlyGirl: ۔....E: Failed to fetch some archives.
[07:58] <Guest46192> hi
[07:58] <GirlyGirl> ma1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/SourceCode
[07:59] <pyarun> Hi, Ctl-r is not working in my gnome shell. how can i configure it
[07:59] <sacarlson> tanath: ya looks like 3 or 4 ways that apt-get can aquire proxy but I see no docs on how to disable it
[07:59] <rkhshm> tanath: dont know what is happening.
[07:59] <ma1> GirlyGirl: Great Great Thanks for your help.
[07:59] <ma1> GirlyGirl: Thanks again :)
[07:59] <tanath> rkhshm, did you set proxy in network manager?
[07:59] <rkhshm> tanath: no
[07:59] <tanath> that's generally how it happens
[08:00] <mr_boo> is there a way of finding out if the card EN7950GX2 http://www.cyberindian.net/2006/08/25/asus-unveils-en7950gx22pht1g-graphics-card/ is supposed to work with ubuntu?
[08:01] <mr_boo> i get random freeze and restart even when using the live CD !!
[08:01] <mr_boo> no problem with card in windows xp
[08:01] <tomasz> jhi
[08:01] <tomasz> hi
[08:01] <rkhshm> tanath: ok ok.. now i remeber.. I had changed the proxy for my works earlier and forgot about reverting it back as "system-wide change"
[08:01] <tanath> rkhshm, do 'echo $http_proxy' in terminal
[08:01] <rkhshm> now i reverted it to system wide
[08:01] <rkhshm> and it works now.
[08:01] <tomasz> some body know how big partition can use with ubuntu ?
[08:01] <goddard> http://askubuntu.com/questions/120640/unity-toolbar-icons-disappear-on-boot
[08:01] <tanath> rkhshm, ah, thought so
[08:02] <rkhshm> sacarlson: thanks for you're help
[08:02] <rkhshm> tanath: thanks for you're help
[08:02] <tanath> np
[08:02] <tokinwhiteman> tonasz: could you be a little more specific?
[08:02] <tomasz> tokinwhiteman, becouse i have problem with big partition
[08:03] <Jordan_U> tomasz: Any size. If you want to use a partition larger than 2 TiB then you'll need to use a GPT label, but the installer will set that up for you if you have a disk larger than 2 TiB.
[08:03] <tomasz> tokinwhiteman,  ubuntu dont start if is too big
[08:03] <tomasz> tokinwhiteman,  i create 100gb partition and dont work
[08:03] <tomasz> tokinwhiteman,  i resize to 15gb and it work
[08:03] <tokinwhiteman> is it a dual boot?
[08:03] <mr_boo> has anyone ever used this card successfully with ubuntu? http://www.gameguru.in/images/asus-dual-gpu-card.jpg
[08:03] <Jordan_U> tomasz: How are you creating this partition and what happens when you try to boot from it?
[08:04] <tomasz> i got error i grub : out of disk
[08:04] <tomasz> i have ext4 , kernel 3.0.0-17 and grub 2
[08:04] <tomasz> i create in gparted
[08:05] <tomasz> ext4 partiotion
[08:05] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | tomasz
[08:06] <tanath> tomasz, i think the issue you're encountering is with the bios not ubuntu. you need to enable LBA in bios. it won't boot on a partition past the first 137gb without it
[08:06] <tanath> without chainloading
[08:07] <tomasz> tanath,  hmm i chek it
[08:07] <tomasz> check
[08:07] <tanath> tomasz, unless you formatted the drive in a way that disables lba...
[08:07] <tanath> then you'd have to reformat
[08:07] <tanath> well, or get into chainloading
[08:08] <StepNjump> Do anyone know of a way to drag a file or folder without having to keep the finger pressing on the mouse button while moving? I know in a different OS, I could hold down my mouse key and then it would stick and then I could easily move the file across the nautilus and then whenever I would press on it again, it would release the file/folder
[08:09] <elijah> How do I do a refresh aka sudo apt-get update in the software center?
[08:09] <BigNuke> elijah: i think apt-get update does the trick in the software center as well
[08:10] <tomasz> can i check in linux  is lba on ?
[08:10] <sw> elijah: you use Update Manager
[08:10] <elijah> BigNuke: Do you know a way a user can initiate within software center itself? I don't mind doing it but wondering for future ref
[08:11] <BigNuke> i'm afraid not - but should "users" be able to do this in the first place?
[08:11] <tomasz> tanath can i check in linux  is lba on ?
[08:12] <tanath> StepNjump, what about cut/copy & paste with ctrl+x/c & ctrl+v ?
[08:12] <tanath> tomasz, not sure. would be simplest to boot to bios and enable it
[08:12] <tomasz> ok
[08:14] <elijah> Is there a way to have sudo apt-get install do a dry run and tell me what version will be fetched?
[08:14] <tanath> elijah, it should tell you that before doing it
[08:14] <kevlar_> that's a good question
[08:15] <tanath> elijah, or you could use synaptic
[08:15] <elijah> tanath: thanks
[08:16] <BigNuke> elijah: yes, synaptics or apt-cache search <name>
[08:16] <tanath> elijah, or, you might want to use --no-download
[08:16] <tanath> BigMao, synaptic. synaptics is touchpad driver
[08:17] <elijah> thanks guys, those should lead me in the right direction
[08:17] <tanath> elijah, --no-download courtesy of 'man apt-get'\
[08:17] <mr_boo> is there a way of finding out if the EN7950GX2 card is supposed to work with ubuntu? http://www.gameguru.in/images/asus-dual-gpu-card.jpg
[08:18] <sw> mr_boo: yes, you check the list of supported hardware
[08:18] <BigNuke> tanath: yes, that the touchpad driver. my bad ^^
[08:20] <GirlyGirl> Hi, does anyone know of a music player application with an interface similar (by album artwork tiles) to WMP and iTunes. Preferably a qt application
[08:21] <mr_boo> sw: thanks
[08:21] <BigNuke> foobar
[08:21] <sw> mr_boo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/ - if you didn't already find it
[08:21] <mr_boo> sw: i concluded that the card is supposed to work :(
[08:22] <tanath> GirlyGirl, banshee?
[08:22] <tanath> GirlyGirl, itunes itself?
[08:22] <sw> !player | GirlyGirl
[08:23] <tanath> BigNuke, foobar doesn't really work on linux anymore
[08:23] <BigNuke> dang... thats sad
[08:23] <tanath> deadbeef ought to be added to the list for audio. it's about the only thing that'll play virtually everything
[08:24] <tanath> though audacious is good too and comes close
[08:24] <GirlyGirl> tanath: I'm more after a qt interface. The only ones I know of are amarok, clementine and juk
[08:24] <sw> tanath: update it then
[08:24] <mr_boo> ubuntu hates my geforce 7950GX2 card so bad it even crashes from the live CD http://www.gameguru.in/images/asus-dual-gpu-card.jpg
[08:24] <mr_boo> this sux
[08:24] <tanath> GirlyGirl, enh, i don't like any of those. amarok was best once upon a time..
[08:24] <tanath> sw, update the list? i'm not an op
[08:24] <tanath> sw, just a random visitor...
[08:25] <fidel> GirlyGirl: i would always suggest to use clementine - but maybe tomahawk is something for you
[08:25] <goddard> can anyone help me with this problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/120640/unity-toolbar-icons-disappear-on-boot
[08:25] <sw> tanath: anyone can submit requests, ops just need to approve them - <ubottu> Your edit request has been forwarded to #ubuntu-ops.  Thank you for your attention to detail
[08:26] <sw> goddard: ask it here
[08:26] <goddard> sw: my toolbar icons disappear on boot
[08:26] <tanath> sw, hrm
[08:26] <GirlyGirl> fidel: So far I prefer amarok. Its just that I would prefer if it could allow you to browse music by album artwork instead of a long list
[08:26] <tanath> sw, so how would one go about that then?
[08:27] <sw> tanath: tell the bot
[08:27] <tomasz> tanath thx for help
[08:27] <tanath> sw, can i tell it xine is crap, and smplayer should replace it in video list? :P
[08:27] <sw> tanath: message it with: '<trigger> is <...>'
[08:28] <tanath> tomasz, np. if that fails and you need something else, i highly recommend boot-repair: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[08:28] <tomasz> tanath,  i set LBA assistence and now work with big partitions
[08:28] <sw> goddard: unity?
[08:28] <goddard> yep
[08:29] <sw> goddard: seen a few folks mention that re-installing can solve that - haven't experienced it myself
[08:29] <sw> goddard: unity I mean, not Ubuntu
[08:29] <tanath> sw, so you'd send 'is <edited version here>'?
[08:29] <goddard> sw: reinstalling?
[08:29] <sw> goddard: '$ sudo apt-get purge unity', restart and login to the classic environment and '$ sudo apt-get install unity'
[08:30] <tanath> sw, i don't think a restart is needed there, just logging out
[08:30] <goddard> sw: who knows what that will do
[08:30] <sw> tanath: you'd send: 'tanath is a user in the #ubuntu IRC channel', and then when !tanath is triggered, you'll see <ubottu> sw: tanath is a user in the #ubuntu IRC channel
[08:30] <StepNjump> tanath: nah...
[08:31] <tanath> sw, so yes, full edited version. ty
[08:31] <StepNjump> tanath: Im too lazy
[08:31] <sw> tanath: yes, because it overwrites what's already there - it's a bot, not a scientist
[08:31] <tanath> StepNjump, derp?
[08:31] <awet> how to squid error pages
[08:31] <tanath> sw, i was under impression it'll be reviewed first though
[08:32] <swabedor> ALSA lib pcm.c:7316:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred  <--- sound stutters when using performous. :)
[08:32] <sw> goddard: I told you already, that'd re-install unity
[08:32] <Geron> Preparing to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04. Does anyone know if SVN repos and MySQL databases will "survive". Or if I must export/import them?
[08:32] <sw> tanath: it will, but you need to use the full version, edit it, and paste the new full version
[08:32] <tanath> sw, yeah got that. that was my question, which you answered
[08:32] <awet> how to change squid error pages
[08:32] <StepNjump> tanath: what is derp? an app?
[08:33] <tanath> StepNjump, no, it's a nonsense word since i have no context for your comments to me
[08:33] <swabedor> ALSA lib pcm.c:7316: ( snd_pcm_recover ) underrun occurred
[08:33] <tanath> StepNjump, taken from 'herp derp' which you're free to google :P
[08:34] <awet> pls I need your help quicklly how to change squid error pages??????????????
[08:34] <sw> !patience | awet
[08:34] <StepNjump> oic tanath
[08:34] <Al_nz1> how do I change the port for vnc4server?
[08:34] <goddard> sw I know that would reinstall unity .. but I don't want to reinstall that might screw something up.. I'd rather fix the issue if possible.
[08:35] <sw> goddard: how can you "screw up" something that's already screwed up?
[08:35] <tanath> goddard, reinstalling can almost never break things
[08:35] <tanath> it can often fix thigns though
[08:36] <swabedor> sound stutters using performous other applications ok
[08:36] <swabedor> ALSA lib pcm.c:7316:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occurred
[08:36] <sw> !patience | swabedor
[08:36] <goddard> sw i dont have time to reinstall my whole OS and all apps if reinstalling blows up my system
[08:36] <sw> Al_nz1: check if you have a file at: /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc?
[08:37] <tanath> swabedor, buffer underrun implies it can't keep up. buffer is not staying fed. you could use some system resource monitors to see where your bottleneck is or just play with settings
[08:37] <sw> goddard: re-installing a desktop environment won't break your system - it's just the environment ...
[08:37] <goddard> sw ok it then
[08:41] <Geron> Preparing to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04. Does anyone know if SVN repos and MySQL databases will "survive". Or if I must export/import them?
[08:41] <tanath> Geron, third-party repos get disabled, but you can reenable them again after
[08:42] <tanath> er
[08:42] <tanath> Geron, sorry, read too quickly
[08:42] <goddard> sw nope didn't work
[08:42] <Al_nz1> sw: I dont have /etc/xinetd.d
[08:42] <Al_nz1> I have installed vnc4server
[08:42] <goddard> sw logged out and logged into unity 2D then logged out and logged into unity and still no toolbar icons
[08:42] <Al_nz1> I can only seem to get it to listen on 5901
[08:43] <tanath> Geron, i don't see why svn would be affected. databases i'm sure can be upgraded if need be, if the apps using them aren't backwards-compatible
[08:43] <blackrock> Could anyone identify this error: https://imgur.com/Gm7zR I'm trying to boot Ubuntu with more than a dozen drives (3 LSIs)
[08:43] <Geron> tanath: I'm just fearing that a upgrade will require alot of hands-on stuff.
[08:44] <tanath> Geron, make a backup? try a dual-boot?
[08:44] <Geron> tanath: Guess I should test the upgrade in a isolated environment first. To make sure database and/or SVN repos (served) survives..
[08:45] <Geron> tanath: Its a live production environment, can dualboot. And I would rather not backup 20TB of database files...
[08:45] <Geron> *cant dualboot.
[08:45] <tanath> blackrock, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1702818
[08:46] <tanath> Geron, lol, indeed. testing any change like that is best on one box first... if you don't want it out of commission, dual-boot is a possibility to test with
[08:47] <tanath> Geron, if updated version works, delete old partition and give it to new. etc
[08:48] <blackrock> tanath, it boots with 14 or so HDs. But not more. I'm confused.
[08:50] <tanath> blackrock, can't say i have any experience with that, but perhaps a more up-to-date kernel would handle it better?
[08:50] <tanath> blackrock, 3.3 has quite a few improvements over your version :P
[08:51] <apporc> there are some files, which i always need to force write with vim . Do you why /
[08:51] <tanath> apporc, read-only?
[08:52] <blackrock> tanath, I'm stuck with 10.04. Feels stable :P I'll try upgrading the kernel though
[08:52] <apporc> tanath: yeah
[08:52] <tanath> blackrock, 10.04 is this |--| close to dead though...
[08:52] <goddard> sw no luck
[08:52] <BlakJak> blackrock: I was a 10.04 stalwart... 12.04 is the next lts and is worth a look even now.
[08:52] <tanath> blackrock, but yes, you can have multiple kernels installed, so... not hard to test
[08:53] <apporc> tanath: yeah , it's readonly, but with 'w!' ,you can force write it .
[08:53] <tanath> indeed
[08:53] <apporc> tanath: i don't know, why this is happening.
[08:53] <blackrock> Ok, thanks. Hmm, now to think about upgrading between two LTSs...
[08:54] <tanath> apporc, there's your answer then. it will ask as long as it's read-only. it's not meant to be changed, hence the permission. either remove read-only permission, or accept it
[08:54] <BlakJak> blackrock: ubuntu website has specific info on doing that, iirc
[08:55] <BlakJak> I installed beside my 10.10 (dont ask) and dragged individual items across from the old /home - no worries at all.
[08:55] <apporc> tanath: i am root, i have write permission on it.
[08:55] <tanath> apporc, do you own the file though?
[08:55] <apporc> tanath: yes
[08:55] <tanath> permission-wise
[08:55] <apporc> tanath: that file is belongs to root too.
[08:56] <tanath> ls -l file
[08:56] <intore> hi, always me about difficulties using internet from the console. my steps:i configured /etc/network/interfaces as follow in paste, i set grub to start with console, i set nm-system-settings.conf to disable NetworkManager and i reboot. Once rebooted i check eth1 with ifconfig and it doesn't keep the ip address.
[08:56] <intore> http://paste.ubuntu.com/923023/
[08:56] <apporc> tanath: it's '600'
[08:57] <schangm> hello, when trying to apt-get dist-upgrade, I'm getting "ia32-libs: Recommends: ia32-libs-multiarch but it is not installable"
[08:57] <tanath> apporc, i don't use numbered permissions. useless obfuscation
[08:57] <intore> The command ifup eth1 gives me the output "interfaces eth1 already configured, ifdown eth1 gives me RTNETLINK answer: No such process-SIOCDELRT: No such process, other time with ifup eth1 is ok and eth1 is set with the ip address. but pinging the server gives me "Destination Unreachable". In pastebin you can see the files /etc/network/interfaces, /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf and /var/log/syslog during the time logged in the console. UNGSANTE password is WPA-PSK[
[08:57] <blackrock> Thanks for the advice all. I'll let you know of my progress. Bye.
[08:57] <schangm> release (in sources.list) is oneiric
[08:58] <schangm> I have tried swithcing to "precise" but that does not solve anything
[08:58] <apporc> tanath:  got it. it's because of selinux ....
[08:58] <apporc> tanath: thanks .
[08:58] <tanath> apporc, ah, if you're playing with that, yeah..
[08:58] <tanath> careful
[08:58] <UBUxUBU> can ubuntu run faster by creating a swap file on a fast flash drive instead of making the typical swap on a hard drive?
[08:59] <Womkes> What is currently the best/most secure IRC bouncer software?
[08:59] <Womkes> Any recent development in that area?
[08:59] <tanath> UBUxUBU, generally flash will be slower than hdd
[08:59] <sacarlson> intore: I was able to make a script with a wpa-supplicant.conf that works for me on a working system in wep,  but I don't have a wpa2 capable ap to test the reset
[08:59] <sacarlson> rest
[08:59] <UBUxUBU> i mean for caching small things
[09:00] <tanath> UBUxUBU, if you're talking usb3 with old IDE drive...
[09:00] <intore> do you think is a problem of wpa-supplicant?
[09:00] <sacarlson> intore: I also noted in my research that my raylink won't work in 11.10 but works fine in 10.04
[09:00] <intore> have you seen the log i paste
[09:00] <sacarlson> intore: it seems for me it's in the drivers for raylink
[09:01] <sacarlson> intore: I've seen your other logs
[09:01] <intore> network interface?
[09:01] <UBUxUBU> hmm so my ole 7200 rpm sata beats a sandisk cruzer flash drive for memory caching?
[09:01] <tanath> UBUxUBU, caching small things may be different, but i'm no expert
[09:03] <tanath> UBUxUBU, you can google specs & such though, and/or others who've asked similar questions. i've seen a product that does what you're asking about that's supposed to boost speeds, but it seemed questionable
[09:03] <sacarlson> intore: you config files look like they should work,  and that log looks like others that are having this problem
[09:03] <intore> others people?
[09:03] <sacarlson> intore: so solution would be to run the older working kernel and wpa-supplicant match
[09:03] <UBUxUBU> i wonder if the swap was zero but if you made a 4 gig swap on a flash driver if buntu would use it
[09:04] <tanath> UBUxUBU, linux uses swap partitions, but yes i think it'll use whatever swap partition is available
[09:04] <sacarlson> intore: yes other people as in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1857635
[09:05] <UBUxUBU> i gotta feeling that if u dont make a HD swap it makes on for u...on the HD
[09:05] <tanath> UBUxUBU, http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/07/add-virtual-ram-to-ubuntu-using-spare.html
[09:06] <sacarlson> intore: my script that works on 10.04 http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/
[09:06] <thirdknife> I want to set system wide proxy in ubuntu 10.04
[09:06] <intore> i've 10.10
[09:06] <thirdknife> what command will do the purpose
[09:06] <sacarlson> intore: and example wpa-supplicant.conf for wep http://paste.ubuntu.com/923032/
[09:07] <sacarlson> intore: so you can try 10.04 iso see if that kernel works for you if so you can install the working kernel in 10.10
[09:07] <tanath> thirdknife, you can do so in network manager
[09:08] <intore> mmm, this is new for me, really!
[09:08] <MariusKarthaus> Hi I have a clean pangolin install and I need ia32-libs installed  to run some 32 bits software. But apt refuses to install due to unresolved dependencies and aptitude gives a solution that clearly will break my entire system if I proceed. How do I resolve the 32 bit prolem in precice pangolin?
[09:08] <intore> i never work on the kernel
[09:08] <thirdknife> tanath, it is not available  in 10.04 xubuntu
[09:08] <intore> i never worked on the kernel
[09:09] <UBUxUBU> nice link tanath
[09:09] <sacarlson> intore: the kernel is much like a package in ubuntu not much more to it
[09:10] <sacarlson> intore: I guess you don't need to try the iso  just import the kernel package to try it I guess
[09:10] <sacarlson> intore: if it fails your net or fails to boot you can just pick the original from grub to boot again
[09:10] <intore> i never did it and i don't want make damages!
[09:10] <OerHeks> MariusKarthaus, 12.04 is multi-arch, but you better join #Ubuntu+1 for pangolin support untill release.
[09:11] <VOITHISTE> Hello i would like some help with ubuntu 11.10. For an unknown reason i have to put a root password at software center, to mount a device, and what ever requires a sudo password
[09:11] <intore> could you suggest me a guide about this argument please?
[09:11] <sacarlson> intore: other posible solution is to find the working driver set and compile them onto your present kernel
[09:13] <sacarlson> intore: this is the kernel I now run that works for me: Linux FreeNet 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:10:02 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[09:14] <intore> sacarlson: which lines on log tells you is a problem of kernel/driver/wpa?
[09:14] <sacarlson> intore: I'm not booted onto my 11.10 so I'm not sure what  it has but it's like 3.0.xX
[09:14] <zatan> hi how can i remove Set User ID's on files ?
[09:15] <sacarlson> intore: it's very much a guess I didn't have time to study your logs
[09:15] <intore> ah ok
[09:15] <intore> i posted it on the forum
[09:16] <sacarlson> intore: but if you read the example link you will see some similarities
[09:16] <sacarlson> intore: yes but I only glanced at it
[09:16] <VOITHISTE> Hello I would like to know why ubuntu keeps asking root password instead of sudo. Any suggestions to fix that would be welcome :).
[09:17] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: what command are you entering
[09:17] <sacarlson> intore: and since the only changed that I can see in like wicd that should work in 11.10 didn't cause the problem the kernel did
[09:17] <VOITHISTE> not just a command everything that needs sudo password\
[09:17] <VOITHISTE> software center for example
[09:17] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: have you previously set a root password?
[09:18] <VOITHISTE> No
[09:18] <bluefrog> VOITHISTE, that's the way sudo works. you can tweak the sudoers file in order not to enter a password but then you defeat the security scheme
[09:18] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: so what happens when you run software center?
[09:18] <mrintegr1ty> bluefrog: you miss understand his problem
[09:18] <bluefrog> ok
[09:18] <VOITHISTE> If i try to install a software it asks for Root password instead of sudo For every app
[09:19] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: does it put up a window saying "enter root password" or what do you mean?
[09:19] <VOITHISTE> yes
[09:19] <mrintegr1ty> thats odd
[09:19] <VOITHISTE> excactly it asks root password
[09:19] <StepNjump> In Nautilus, can use ctrl shft to create a new folder but is there a way to create a new text file using a keyboard shortcut?
[09:20] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: did you add yourself to the "admin" group?
[09:20] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: when you installed ubuntu, it has a checkbox when you add the default user "add this user to administrators group"
[09:20] <intore> i don't see similarities between my log and that one you proposed me.
[09:20] <VOITHISTE> Actually i had a sound problem and i think that i did added my shelf there
[09:20] <yandex381> StepNjump: Alt->F->D->E. Traverses the Nautilus menu
[09:20] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: if you open a terminal (gnome-terminal) and type "id" wihtout quotes what does it say
[09:20] <Geron> Ubuntu and iSCSI. When (if?!) will Ubuntu support multiple initators on a single target?!
[09:21] <intore> anyway, thanks
[09:21] <intore> hope for the forum
[09:21] <sacarlson> intore: other than wpa didn't work but non encrypted did?
[09:21] <VOITHISTE> uid=1000(xristos) gid=1000(xristos) ομάδες=1000(xristos),29(audio)
[09:21] <VOITHISTE> uid=1000(xristos) gid=1000(xristos) teams=1000(xristos),29(audio)
[09:21] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: you are not in the admin group
[09:22] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: as root run "gpasswd -G admin xristos"
[09:23] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: that will add your user to the admin group and you should now be able to use sudo
[09:23] <VOITHISTE> Wait i am confused
[09:23] <intore> sacarlson: i don't uderstand what you mean
[09:23] <VOITHISTE> you mean log in as root (sudo su) and then run the command?
[09:23] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: if you know the root password, you can use "su -" to become root once and run that command i showed you
[09:24] <sw> !root
[09:24] <sacarlson> intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant
[09:24] <VOITHISTE> i dont know the root password
[09:24] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: after that you should be able to use sudo, and the prompts from applications like software center should (hopefully) start using sudo and your own password instead of root
[09:24] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: ah
[09:24] <StepNjump> yandex381: anything else like a quicker keyboad shortcut like shift ctrl something?
[09:24] <VOITHISTE> The problem is i dont know the root password
[09:24] <VOITHISTE> if i knew it everything would be alright :)
[09:25] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: that kinda sucks, it's a littl ebit of a hasstle to recover the root password. Simple but annoying
[09:25] <Geron> VOITHISTE: In Ubuntu, the root user doesnt have a password (unless you set one manually)
[09:25] <sw> VOITHISTE: have you ever set the root password?
[09:25] <sacarlson> intore: as I am now a part of that group since all I have is two raylink rt73 usb devices that don't work past ubuntu 10.04
[09:25] <VOITHISTE> No only a sudo( you know the one that instalation forces you to have)
[09:25] <sw> VOITHISTE: '$ sudo passwd root' and enter a password, then '$ sudo gpasswd -G admin xristos'
[09:26] <yandex381> StepNjump: Not that I know. There used to be a way to change/add nautilus shortcuts in the preferences, but can't find it. Maybe the option was removed?
[09:26] <Geron> No, dont give root a password..
[09:26] <Geron> No need.
[09:26] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: what you should do is reboot to the live cd and "chroot" into your installed ubuntu. once you did that you can then modify your user to be in the admin group. if your not a bit experienced then that might not mean anything to you but i can help you with it
[09:26] <intore> but the problem you mean is about drivers doesn't work using wpa_supplicant?
[09:26] <sw> VOITHISTE: after you've solved your problem, disable it again with '$ sudo passwd -dl root'
[09:26] <sacarlson> intore: I'll later explore using my 10.04 kernel on 11.10 maybe later today
[09:27] <mrintegr1ty> sw: he doesn't know the root password and his user is not in the admin group, that is the problem. read the scrollback before offering advice
[09:27] <Geron> sw: If VOITHISTE can sudo, there is no need to set a root password to add a user to a group.
[09:27] <sw> mrintegr1ty: he's never set a root password, so he can just set one
[09:27] <sacarlson> intore: yes why does your wifi device not work without encryption or have you not yet verified that fact?
[09:27] <VOITHISTE> I cant sudo
[09:27] <mrintegr1ty> sw: no, as his user is not in the admin group, his user doesnt have permission to do that
[09:27] <Geron> sw: No he cant, cause he cant sudo!
[09:28] <VOITHISTE> Thanx for your support guys
[09:28] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: you can accept advice from others or you can listen to one person
[09:28] <Geron> VOITHISTE: follow mrintegr1ty's advice.
[09:28] <VOITHISTE> i will
[09:28] <intore> you mean to try a free connection?
[09:28] <intore> no password?
[09:28] <sacarlson> intore: I also tried the legacy raylink encryption driver that also don't work in 11.10
[09:28] <StepNjump> found ctrl shft e
[09:28] <VOITHISTE> just a last thing when i try to log in as sudo at terminal this comes up
[09:28] <VOITHISTE> xristos is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported
[09:29] <VOITHISTE> I dont know if it help any further
[09:29] <intore> 11:24 < sacarlson> intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant
[09:29] <sacarlson> intore: yes I have my own wifi network so I can experiment on that maybe you don't have that resorce
[09:29] <sw> VOITHISTE: that's telling you that you're not in the sudoers file - which you already knew
[09:29] <VOITHISTE> :)
[09:30] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHISTE: ok, it's actually a bit of a pain in the *** to fix so you have two options, 1. reboot into the live cd and "chroot" to your installed ubuntu, from there you can change anyting on the installed OS and you don't need the password (so you can fix it). 2. reinstall ubuntu, if this is a new install then that might be the easiest option for you but you can always try the chroot first.
[09:30] <intore> sacarlson>  a question: i haven't problem using this network interface with network manager, what is the different of use?
[09:30] <mrintegr1ty> oh well, he left
[09:30] <intore> between console and X?
[09:31] <sacarlson> intore: oh maybe we are not related then if it works on network-manager  maybe that uses legacy not wpa-supplicant,  that might be why it works, I'm not sure
[09:32] <sacarlson> intore: in wicd you can select between legacy and wpa2 ext  to posibly verify what is the difference
[09:33] <sacarlson> intore: or you can try the script I gave you to experment with it,  but my rt73 don't have wpa support imbedded in the driver
[09:35] <VOITHIAS> Ok i am back :) What do i have to do with CHROOT
[09:35] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: ok, it's actually a bit of a pain in the *** to fix so you have two options, 1. reboot into the live cd and "chroot" to your installed ubuntu, from there you can change anyting on the installed OS and you don't need the password (so you can fix it). 2. reinstall ubuntu, if this is a new install then that might be the easiest option for you but you can always try the chroot first.
[09:35] <VOITHIAS> I HAVE INSTALLED UBUNTU MORE THAN  TIMESI N A WEEK
[09:35] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: chill
[09:35] <VOITHIAS> so i will choose live cd method
[09:35] <VOITHIAS> :)
[09:36] <VOITHIAS> i am already in live cd (actually it is a usb stick anyway)
[09:36] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: ok, if this is not a seperate computer that you are using for IRC then you will have to write these instrutions down. It's quite simple. here comes the instructions
[09:36] <VOITHIAS> it is the same
[09:36] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: great so yo uhave internet, that makes it simpler
[09:36] <VOITHIAS> Yes
[09:37] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: open a terminal and type sudo -i, as it's the live env it won't ask for a pass and you will be root
[09:37] <intore> 11:24 < sacarlson> intore: its seems related in the sence that you both have the same simptums that link to not working driver to wpa-supplicant
[09:37] <VOITHIAS> Yep root ..
[09:37] <sacarlson> intore: I already read that
[09:37] <intore> sacarlson: am sorry, many problem with electricity
[09:38] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: next, you need to know where ubuntu is installed on the disk, do you already know that information? (the partition number
[09:38] <VOITHIAS> hm no
[09:38] <intore> is a mistake
[09:38] <intore> but, how to configure without password?
[09:38] <mrintegr1ty> VOITHIAS: if not, and assuming it's the only operating system installed (not dual boot) run "fdisk -l"
[09:39] <VOITHIAS> Give me a second i have windows too
[09:39] <intore> don't i have to use wpa_supplicant.conf file?
