[00:00] <flan_suse> I can't find any information online that explains this.
[00:01] <jordan__> Lsusb detects my wireless adapter but iwconfig doesn't, anyone know what could be the cause of this?
[00:03] <OerHeks> flan_suse, AES-cbc , >> http://blog.markloiseau.com/2012/05/ubuntu-aes-xts-plain64/
[00:03] <flan_suse> OerHeks: I actually read that article like 5 minutes ago.
[00:04] <flan_suse> OerHeks: However, in the comments he says he's unsure about 12.04 (that they might have changed it to XTS.)
[00:04] <flan_suse> OerHeks: That's why I'm asking in here, just in case someone else used the alternate installer for 12.04 and knows if the default has been changed.
[00:05] <flan_suse> And if the default is the same, does the 12.04 alternate installer allow you to choose the cipher?
[00:06] <OerHeks> flan_suse, afaik it still is.
[00:06] <flan_suse> OerHeks: Thank you. I hope it allows you to choose another cipher (such as aes-xts-plain)
[00:07] <Rcart> hey there. I've installed a minimal ubuntu 12.04, just the core and then creating a base system. Now I'm fine about it. I've some problems, like the OSD notification system. I've installed notify-osd but have no notification from apps like pidgin or any other :S
[00:08] <OerHeks> flan_suse, well, you can, according to that article, i also noticed the watermark vunerability.
[00:08] <aguitel> why unity and gnome 3 are too ugly ?
[00:09] <Rcart> when I'm do notify-send it works great. Any idea? Btw, I'm running fluxbox
[00:09] <OerHeks> aguitel, tweak unity with myunity :-)
[00:09] <flan_suse> OerHeks: He uses the live CD (not the alternate installer) so he manually runs cryptsetup commands and specifies aes-xts-plain64.
[00:09] <aguitel> OerHeks, to look like gnome 2?
[00:10] <flan_suse> OerHeks: However, the last time I've done this (10.04), I had to use his approach as well, since the alternate installer did not let me specify the cipher mode (from what I remember.)
[00:10] <jqk> is there a command to enable wifi?
[00:11] <OerHeks> aguitel, no, why? try to tweak it with smaller icons, autohide and behaviour ( gnome2 is dead )
[00:11] <OerHeks> flan_suse, maybe the minimal cd is an option? not for whole disk encryption ofcourse
[00:12] <studio> arguitel: i agree with 0erHeks
[00:12] <vicesquad> L3top: thanks for all the help earlier, issue with the backlight seems resolved, as I see laptop screen on reboots
[00:13] <studio> arguitel:download compiz settings manager from ubuntu software manager
[00:13] <studio> arguitel:this is a useful tool for customization
[00:14] <OerHeks> aguitel, else there is a gnome-panel or gnome-shell ( plain gnome3)
[00:14] <OerHeks> !nounity
[00:15] <OerHeks> but i really hoop you spend a little time to learn to know each other.
[00:15] <studio> !nounity
[00:15] <studio> :p
[00:15] <studio> i didnt knew that
[00:15] <samster34> so, that went nowhere :/
[00:16] <studio> 0erHeks:where can i find such commands?
[00:16] <OerHeks> pm ubottu !factoids
[00:16] <samster34> I did run nvidia-xconfig, and it did create a config, but x still won#t start, saying "screens found, but none have a usable configuration"
[00:17] <OerHeks> samster34, did you try to reset your monitor with its own little buttons to default? sometime it helps
[00:17] <samster34> reset it to what?
[00:18] <samster34> nothing in the OSD changes resolution, display frequency or anything
[00:19] <samster34> and the other screen doesn't even have an OSD
[00:19] <samster34> all it has is a brightness setting
[00:21] <propman> pm ubottu !factoids
[00:21] <roasted> Question - is there a name of the VNC service that Ubuntu uses? I can SSH into my box but VNC is failing... curious if I could just reboot the service...
[00:22] <samster34> roasted: it might just be xvnc, but I'm not sure
[00:22] <Blue1> roasted: vncserver
[00:23] <roasted> Sami345, Blue1, nadda.
[00:23] <Sami345> Lol, tab fail :D
[00:23] <propman> pm propman !factoids
[00:23] <roasted> ouch, yeah. my bad! samster34 ***
[00:23] <samster34> :p
[00:24] <samster34> so, now I AM running the latest nvidia driver, and it still won't work
[00:25] <OerHeks> propman, open an private channel with ubottu, and type: !factoids  ( not here in this channel, for flooding )
[00:25] <sunz> hello, i have that weird problem where my skype incoming call window is not visible..  anyone had this before?
[00:25] <propman> OerHeks:  ta :)
[00:26] <silverarrow> hi
[00:26] <memetic> I've run into a problem trying to install nvidia 259.59 for my gtx 560ti under Ubuntu 12.04.  I did service lightdm stop, ran the installer, rebooted and got an error under /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log, 'Failed to initialize NVIDIA kernel module'
[00:26] <silverarrow> does anyone know about old ibooks and ubuntu?
[00:26] <memetic> I've apt-get install'd build-essential and the linux kernel header.
[00:27] <Sona> hello i just checked running processes with glances.py and i have a "migration/4" process taking 88% cpu, why is this?
[00:27] <silverarrow> I am trying to install lubuntu on a iBook G4
[00:27] <jagginess> !nvidia
[00:27] <jagginess> !mac
[00:27] <samster34> jagginess: thanks, but I have the driver already :/
[00:27] <OerHeks> silverarrow, PPC?
[00:28] <silverarrow> PPC what?
[00:28] <silverarrow> i am rather new at this OerHeks
[00:28] <jagginess> silverarrow, maybe yellowdog linux would work easier for ppc
[00:28] <OerHeks> silverarrow, i don't know the hardware in ibook.
[00:29] <silverarrow> it is suppose to be intel as far as I can tell
[00:30] <silverarrow> http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/specs/ibook_g4_1.42_14.html
[00:30] <silverarrow> this is what I have to go by
[00:30] <memetic> jagginess: Does 12.04 have linux-restricted-modules-?
[00:30] <anonymous_> linux is mutche beter
[00:30] <jagginess> memetic, not sure, just make sure you add the universe/multiver repos ..
[00:30] <jagginess> memetic, maybe its under a different name in 12.04
[00:31] <anonymous_> ubuntu
[00:31] <jqk> What do you guys know about this error: "FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found."
[00:31] <jagginess> silverarrow, btw wikipedia has great tables if a certan mac laptop has ppc or intel
[00:31] <OerHeks> silverarrow, it is PowerPC, so get the iso from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCDownloads/
[00:31] <OerHeks> PowerBook G4/1.0 features a 1.0 GHz PowerPC 7455 (G4) processor with the AltiVec "Velocity Engine"
[00:32] <memetic> I should clarify the only reason I'm seeking to install the NVIDIA driver from their web site is that there is a slim possibility a bug may have been resolved which I get with Compiz (ctrl+alt+down arrow, moving around causes the system to lock up.)
[00:32] <memetic> I doubt it though.
[00:33] <jagginess> jqk, you probably dont need ndiswrapper, are you absolutely sure you need it?
[00:33] <anonymous_> only use linux and the secret OS
[00:33] <OerHeks> memetic, for the latest build, my advise is x-swat ppa > https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/
[00:33] <jqk> jagginess, well since i installed ndiswrapper i can't get the original option to enable wireless to appear :/
[00:33] <silverarrow> OerHeks: , that is the one I have, but i have trouble booting, I get as far as a lubuntu logo, but it stops after a few error messages not regonizing wireless
[00:33] <jagginess> memetic, you should make sure you uninstall nvidia packages before trying /nvidia*run
[00:34] <jagginess> jqk, why did you install ndiswrapper if you dont know what to do with it?
[00:34] <OerHeks> silverarrow, oke, check de mactel pages from the url jagginess gave
[00:34] <silverarrow> OerHeks:  this laptop has 1.42 processor and 512 ram, which can be expanded
[00:34] <memetic> Alright, I'll apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
[00:34] <jqk> jagginess, i know what to do with it, and i installed it because i figured it would give me a better connection then the wireless turning off on it's own every 2 websites
[00:35] <jagginess> jqk, apparently i dont think you do because setting up ndiswrapper takes alot of work
[00:36] <Lukah> I'm running Lubuntu, but I don
[00:36] <jagginess> jqk, for eg, do you know your deviceid for your nic ?
[00:36] <memetic> Oh yikes maybe I shouldn't do that.
[00:36] <memetic> it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop.
[00:36] <jqk> jagginess, that doesn't even matter... i just want to get my original wifi working even if it disconnects every 2 seconds
[00:36] <jagginess> jqk, it does.
[00:36] <jqk> it doesn't
[00:37] <jqk> i don't want to use ndiswrapper anymore
[00:37] <Lukah> I'm running Lubuntu.  I've installed rxvt-unicode-256colors.  I have not menu item for it.  I downloaded and extracted the contents of rxvt-unicode.  It has a file under /usr/share/menu
[00:37] <Lukah> do I just need to move this file into /usr/share/menu to have a menu entry?
[00:38] <jagginess> jqk, also knowing your deviceid helps even for non-ndis setups.
[00:39] <jagginess> Lukah, you'll have to enable the debian submenu (i forget how to exactly, should be on wiki)
[00:39] <jqk> jagginess, i'm not here to argue. i'm here to get this fixed.
[00:40] <Lukah> yech.  does ubuntu use the files under /usr/share/menu or the .desktop files to create it's menu.  I don
[00:40] <jagginess> jqk, well I know how to fix it. Apparently you refuse my help.. ok then..
[00:40] <Lukah> (small keyboard, lol)
[00:41] <jqk> jagginess, then explain how to fix it
[00:41] <Lukah> i don't want to have another menu, just list it under accessories.  I'll just copy the file for LXTerminal.
[00:41] <Jee_> Any ubuntu exploits
[00:41] <Lukah> but, the file under /usr/share/menu, or the .desktop file
[00:41] <jagginess> jqk, you can't fix something if you don't know what it is..
[00:41] <Areckx> Hi I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and wish to plugin speakers into the Mic port; since the headphone(line-in) is broken, how can I change the mic port to line-in?
[00:41] <jagginess> jqk, suggestiong lspci
[00:42] <jqk> jagginess, i know that lsusb shows it, and iwconfig doesn't
[00:42] <OerHeks> Areckx, not, it is hardware.
[00:42] <jagginess> (try lsusb -nn -- try getting vendorid:deviceid , would be at end of lines)
[00:42] <Areckx> OerHeks::  is there a config file I can change to make it so it acts as a line-in?
[00:42] <Areckx> err, line-out
[00:43] <OerHeks> Areckx, no.
[00:43] <Areckx> I want to use the mic port to line-out to my speakers
[00:43]  * jagginess thinks it was lsusb -d
[00:43] <Areckx> OerHeks::  why not?
[00:43] <Sami345> Areckx, I don't think so. I don't think that is possible.
[00:43] <OerHeks> Areckx, it is hardware.
[00:43] <Areckx> OerHeks::  that doesn't explain anything
[00:43] <jqk> jagginess, "Bus 002 Device 005: ID 13b1:000d Linksys WUSB54G v4 802.11g Adapter [Ralink RT2500USB]"
[00:44] <Sami345> Areckx, It's like saying I want to hear sound from my microphone! They just require different kinds of electronics.
[00:44] <Canadian1296> In some programs (like rsync), progress is shown on a single, updating line. How can I replicate this behaviour in scripts?
[00:44] <Areckx> it's a metal; contactor, there mnust be a way to change how the system interprets its signals
[00:44] <jagginess> jqk, what kernel you using?
[00:44] <Sami345> Areckx, Speaker is output, microphone input, system doesn't get signals from speakers :D
[00:45] <OerHeks> Areckx, you cannot change input to output on your soundcard
[00:45] <Sami345> Areckx, If you are talking about front ports, maybe you could try switching wires on the motherboard
[00:45] <jqk> jagginess, no idea
[00:45] <OerHeks> Areckx, is that difficult to accept?
[00:45] <jagginess> jqk, uname -a
[00:47] <jqk> jagginess, "Linux Jordan-Linux 3.2.0-26-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 17:49:24 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
[00:47] <Areckx> OerHeks Sami345  http://jackaudio.org/ maybe?
[00:47] <jagginess> jqk, thats modern.. and that deviceid has been ought for years..
[00:47] <jqk> jagginess, ?
[00:47] <jagginess> jqk, you get an interface with it? (iwconfig or ifconfig )
[00:48] <Sami345> Areckx, that won't help you
[00:48] <jagginess> jqk, (am saying your chances look not bad seeing the kernel is quite recent and that device has been ought longer than a year)
[00:48] <OerHeks> jqd you could disable G in your router, so your wifi connects tru 54 only, see if that helps.
[00:48] <Sami345> Areckx, just face it, the thing you are trying to do is not possible, not without hardware modifications
[00:49] <Areckx> well I think I'm just going to try to find a usb solution
[00:49] <Sami345> It is possible to get an external USB soundcard
[00:49] <Areckx> because the headphone jack is completely broken
[00:49] <Areckx> yes, my friend who just moved into the room next to me might have something I could use
[00:49] <jqk> jagginess, doesn't show in ifconfig or iwconfig
[00:49] <OerHeks> Areckx, if it is not a laptop, maybe internal audio out connector still works?
[00:50] <Areckx> don't want to poke around while he's not here though lol
[00:50] <Areckx> OerHeks::  it is a laptop
[00:50] <samster34> nvidia-xconfig seems to be unable to generate a proper configuration for my screens
[00:50] <Areckx> OerHeks:: dell inspiron 1720
[00:50] <dcluo> dear all, does anyone have configured hostapd before?
[00:50] <samster34> can anyone help me fix the xorg config?
[00:51] <jagginess> Areckx, you can't change an audio circuit-- it's hardwired.. so you can't use a mic for soundoutput or vice-versa..(or line-in for sound out)
[00:51] <jagginess> jqk, did you try with "fconfig -a"?
[00:51] <jagginess> jqk, did you try with "ifconfig -a"?
[00:51] <bigsky> why i cannot install some package on ubuntu?
[00:51] <bigsky> http://iyanwu.com/pastebin/showthread.php?tid=715
[00:52] <samster34> http://pastebin.com/QHDrk4fe   this is the generated xorg.conf
[00:52] <jqk> jagginess, no change
[00:52] <dcluo> can someone give me an example of hostapd(wpa-psk) + dnsmasq example
[00:53] <Linuxuser_> hey jordan__ you still there?
[00:54] <jqk> Linuxuser_, here i am
[00:55] <jqk> jagginess, any other ideas?
[00:55] <Linuxuser_> well i am trying to open Windows Wireless Drivers on ubuntu 12.04 and it ask for my password then it doesn't open
[00:55] <jqk> Linuxuser_, don't mess with that. you'll break stuff o.O
[00:55] <Linuxuser_> ?
[00:56] <Linuxuser_> that's how i activate the driver to work
[00:56] <jqk> what driver are you using?
[00:56] <Linuxuser_> a linksys AE2500
[00:56] <Linuxuser_> made by cisco
[00:57] <Linuxuser_> i installed all the ndis stuff and now i need the Windows Wireless Drivers thing to open!!
[00:57] <jqk> you try rebooting?
[00:57] <Linuxuser_> I've spent all day on this and i need my internet to work!!
[00:57] <jqk> i know
[00:57] <jqk> my mom's getting madd that i'm plugged into ethernet all day and no one has wifi because of that :P
[00:58] <Linuxuser_> wow
[00:58] <Linuxuser_> haha
[00:58] <Linuxuser_> ya my mom's mad cause i've been on computer all day
[00:58] <Linuxuser_> what ubuntu version are you on?
[01:01] <Linuxuser_> well jqk i know my driver is working now how to connect to the internet!!
[01:02] <Areckx> jagginess::  thank you, I will seek usb alternatives
[01:03] <jqk> Linuxuser_, are you using 64bit or 32bit?
[01:04] <Linuxuser_> 32
[01:05] <witeshark> is there a known issue with unity losing the login password field after screen lock or system suspend?
[01:06] <ubuntu> hej
[01:07] <matbur> hello
[01:18] <chillpill_> hi
[01:19] <AngrySpam98> Hi, chillpill_ !
[01:20] <tyler_d> holla chillpill_
[01:20] <AngrySpam98> !
[01:21] <AngrySpam98> Hi, linux_is_my_hero and markamber_ !
[01:21] <AngrySpam98> oh D:
[01:23] <markamber_> AngrySpam98: is there a reason you welcomed me to the room or are you truly just an angry spammer
[01:24] <AngrySpam98> markamber_ not really a reason, but i like to greet people.
[01:24] <AngrySpam98> Got a problem?
[01:25] <AngrySpam98> Hi Nicekiwi !
[01:25] <markamber_> Yea, it is spam like, and I feel like this is not even the real room… not enough noise
[01:26] <AngrySpam98> Plenty of noise, you just have to be patient, and wait for the prey to expose itself
[01:26] <AngrySpam98> errm
[01:26] <IdleOne> AngrySpam98: if #ubuntu needed a greet bot it would have a greet bot.
[01:27] <AngrySpam98> IdleOne, i made one, wanna see? :P
[01:27] <IdleOne> no
[01:27] <AngrySpam98> Hmm.
[01:27] <AngrySpam98> Something tells me you are not a very enthusiastic life lloving person. ;P
[01:28] <IdleOne> Something tells me I have already told you about being off topic in this channel. Please feel free to join us in #ubuntu-offtopic where we can talk more about cookies and bacon.
[01:31] <markamber_> Why is it so quiet?
[01:32] <Oli_> I'm in the middle of an install, installing side by side with windows, and im allocating the size of each partition with the slider thing, but neither one is labelled! How do I know which is which?
[01:32] <IdleOne> markamber_: just is, happens now and then.
[01:32] <myersg> does anyone know of a youtube like software? for a website..
[01:33] <TonsilloSloth> XFCE vs LXDE on an older laptop. I already did a little research but anyone have any thoughts? Kinda leaning towards LXDE for speed.
[01:34] <markamber> TonsilloSloth: LXDE
[01:34] <IdleOne> TonsilloSloth: both should run fine, LXDE a little quicker.
[01:34] <unkn-error|cloud> TonsilloSloth: lxde will use less ram, xfce will provide more functionality
[01:35] <Oli_> I don't think there's much difference in performance for the difference in features, you'd need to be more worried about the applications you use I think, I'd go with XFCE
[01:35] <Oli_> How old we talking? Specs?
[01:37] <markamber> TonsilloSloth: I find that sometimes LXDE is much faster, but my google chrome will be google chrome (or firefox firefox) and that is where most of your memory and stuff is going, so really I don't think it will matter *too much*
[01:37] <TonsilloSloth> It's an inspiron 1100.. p4 2.2ghz, 1gb ram
[01:37] <markamber> TonsilloSloth: classic gnome should be fine on pentium 4
[01:38] <TonsilloSloth> markamber: hmm... I installed ubuntu and unity takes up a 4th of the screen (installer showed full screen). Ya think if I just switch to gnome it would work (I guess it wouldn't be that hard to try)
[01:38] <Oli_> I use XFCE on my atom netbook (1.6ghz) with 1 gig of ram and it runs fine
[01:39] <TonsilloSloth> Uh, so in 12.04 I can't see a way to switch to gnome (like in 11.04)
[01:39] <TonsilloSloth> at the log in screen. Boot option?
[01:41] <xangua> TonsilloSloth: clic on the icon next to your user name to change the default desktop/shell
[01:42] <Oli_> So anyone got any insight on this partition slider thing?
[01:43] <kriskropd> Can anyone suggest which of these two are better?: FreeNX, NoMachine's NX Server
[01:43] <cansranma> hello
[01:43] <JoseeAntonioR> !best | kriskropd
[01:44] <Oli_> Okay, for anyone interested, the right hand partition was ubuntu. If you click alt, it tells you. Weird that it doesn't just tell you anyway.
[01:44] <cansranma> Im getting an error message when trying to start up ubuntu 12.04 says *ERROR* failed to set mode on [CRTC:6]
[01:45] <kriskropd> ubottu, thanks
[01:45] <cansranma> whats that chicks name who hangs out in here dark chick or something
[01:45] <cansranma> she helped me get past it last night i forget
[01:46] <cansranma> cool chick
[01:46] <markamber> kriskropd: you can give me an example of what you want to use it for and it would be more direct of a question than a poll
[01:47] <kristenbb> I'm facing a problem with eclipse c++ juno on ubuntu 64 12.04. It says error 127 occurred while running autoreconf, but the project runs from command line. What does this error mean ?
[01:48] <cansranma> Im having a problem starting up ubuntu
[01:48] <kriskropd> markamber, well I'm looking in terms of lightweight and portability, for example, NoMachine's has a We Companion java applet tool that allows access via web browser
[01:49] <cansranma> im getting error message
[01:49] <cansranma> says failed to set mode on [CRTC:6]
[01:49] <kriskropd> markamber, Web*
[01:49] <cansranma> and it says it four times whatever that means
[01:49] <cansranma> would someone please help me
[01:50] <cansranma> ?
[01:50] <markamber> kriskropd: ehh, none of those are portable, if you want portable go with vnc, you can get clients on iPad iPhone, android… really anything. Nomachine is great for connecting with a computer over LAN or cellular or other internet, but VNC is what you want
[01:50] <cansranma> ive updated everything
[01:50] <cansranma> yesterday
[01:51] <cansranma> the username is owner and wen i type it in at the dos screen
[01:51] <cansranma> it says incorrect
[01:51] <cansranma> theres a way to get past this error message
[01:51] <cansranma> nobadla
[01:51] <cansranma> here's the error message that I am getting http://imagebin.org/219905
[01:51] <kriskropd> markamber, yeah I use vnc already, just looking into NX since it is a much better performing protocol ~ wish there was x11 and an nx client for android >_<
[01:52] <cansranma> any help is appreciated
[01:52] <markamber> kriskropd: no such thing…
[01:52] <markamber> cansranma: patience
[01:52] <cansranma> k
[01:53] <Tux> cansranma, it looks like you have some sort of problem with X
[01:54] <cansranma> hmm
[01:54] <cansranma> what makes u think this? what ?
[01:54] <cansranma> x?
[01:54] <Mephisto___> hello guys!
[01:54] <Mephisto___> I'm looking for a IDE for C progamming on Linux
[01:54] <Tux> X helps to present the GUI
[01:55] <cansranma> i forgot how i got past it yesterday
[01:55] <cansranma> and i was able to login at the desktop

[02:02] <AngrySpam98> errm.
[02:04] <escott> AngrySpam98, why do you need to find it in grub2?
[02:04] <AngrySpam98> escott, why do you need to know to answer me?
[02:05] <escott> AngrySpam98, because of the !xy problem
[02:06] <n0sq> i'm using solid-pop3d and i keep getting prompted for passwords - i keep getting a box that tells me that the login was invalid even though it retrieved the mail on a prior check
[02:06] <AngrySpam98> escott, it doesnt HAVE to be in grub, but i want to know how to find my Windows Partition.
[02:06] <n0sq> lots of bugs
[02:07] <ulkesh> AngrySpam98: would gparted (a program) help?
[02:07] <escott> AngrySpam98, the easiest method then would be to boot to a livecd/installed system and look at the disk utility gui, or the output of sudo parted -l. in grub you can do things like ls (hd0,0) but its a pain
[02:07] <jqk> how can i get my nvidia video card working good? tried the current nvidia drivers but there is still a little lag
[02:07] <AngrySpam98> escott, list bro, i dont speak computer, so i have no idea wtf you jsut said.
[02:08] <IdleOne> AngrySpam98: please watch the language, acronyms are also not welcome.
[02:08] <AngrySpam98> IdleOne, sorry.
[02:09] <escott> AngrySpam98, boot to the the full system. there are more tools there to deal with disks, and pretty much any of them will enable you to identify the windows partition
[02:09] <arashb> hey guys, are there any apple users who have installed 12.04 as efi-boot?
[02:09] <AngrySpam98> I dont see why i didnt just use google...
[02:09] <ulkesh> AngrySpam98: I'm pretty sure I answered you above:  use gparted

[02:15] <SmileyPants> Hey all. I'm running 12.04 with an nvidia optimus chipset. I've set it to run entirely off the nvidia card via the bios
[02:15] <cansranma> and when nit asks me what I like to do
[02:15] <SmileyPants> Everything seems quite perfect
[02:15] <cansranma> it wont let me select run graphics card
[02:15] <cansranma> or click ok
[02:15] <miguel_> my xubuntu cracha
[02:15] <SmileyPants> ... but for some reason any window that doesn't have the current focus is all white
[02:15] <cansranma> im running 12.04 with a nvidia chipset
[02:16] <SmileyPants> Has anyone else dealt with a similar issue?
[02:16] <cansranma> whats the prob smiley pants
[02:17] <cansranma> oh wait
[02:17] <SmileyPants> Reading your error message cansranma
[02:17] <cansranma> na im epxeriencing a prob with my GPU
[02:17] <cansranma> but my screen doesnt go white ig et this crazy error message
[02:17] <cansranma> there's a way to get past it
[02:18] <cansranma> run in low graphics mode but it wont let me select that option
[02:18] <IdleOne> !nomodeset
[02:18] <cansranma> someone last night suggested that
[02:18] <cansranma> !nomodeset!
[02:18] <cansranma> that was it
[02:18] <cansranma> but how do i know it's not grub1
[02:18] <cansranma> how do i know its grub2 and not grub 1
[02:18] <cansranma> ?
[02:19] <IdleOne> SmileyPants: check with: gksudo jockey-gtk, see if it offers to install/enable any drivers
[02:19] <IdleOne> cansranma: 12.04 uses grub2 by default
[02:19] <SmileyPants> IdleOne: thank you. I did do that and it installed the latest - I have compiz running nicely aside from the strange white window issue
[02:20] <cansranma> idleone
[02:20] <SmileyPants> IdleOne: I've made sure everything in the sytem is up to date so it's easier to troubleshoot
[02:20] <cansranma> the thing is the OP says that it appies to how to applies to ubuntu 10.04 and i have 12.04
[02:20] <IdleOne> SmileyPants: report a bug at launchpad.net. is the only other thing I can think of.
[02:20] <cansranma> and he doesnt know how with wubi
[02:20] <cansranma> so would it not work for 12.04?
[02:21] <SmileyPants> Thanks IdleOne. I'll mess around with it a bit first and get more info so it'd be more useful to the devs.
[02:21] <IdleOne> cansranma: yes, it should work
[02:21] <cansranma> k
[02:23] <IdleOne> cansranma: this is a wubi install?
[02:24] <cansranma> I dont think this is oging tow ork idleone
[02:24] <IdleOne> hmm, never mind. it shouldn't matter
[02:24] <cansranma> because my error message isnt htere
[02:25] <cansranma> I think because it said host
[02:25] <cansranma> i dont know
[02:25] <IdleOne> cansranma: try anyway, can't hurt.
[02:25] <cansranma> i dont understand what to do
[02:26] <kristenbb> I'm facing a problem with eclipse c++ juno on ubuntu 64 12.04. It says error 127 occurred while running autoreconf, but the project runs from command line. What does this error mean ?

[02:30] <IdleOne> kristenbb: I'm taking a wild guess here from some quick googling, do you have the build-essentials package installed?
[02:30] <kristenbb> IdleOne: thanks for the try, but yes unfortunately I do.
[02:30] <Elesa> Hii, how do I install GIMP 2.8 in Natty?
[02:30] <Ariii> Hi! How do I set up a USB version of Ubuntu as the permanent one?
[02:31] <IdleOne> !usb | Ariii see the persistent link
[02:32] <IdleOne> Elesa: search for a gimp 2.8 PPA
[02:32] <Ariii> IdleOne: Thanks!
[02:33] <kristenbb> IdleOne: just noticed while reading my question again that quotes were missing, the error is : "It says error 127 occurred while running autoreconf". I am the one mentioning that the project runs fom command line, in case that was unclear. So it probably doesn't come from a package missing.
[02:34] <Elesa> IdleOne: well, I've seen lots of articles with a GIMP 2.8 PPA, but I always get a 404 error
[02:35] <Ariii> Oh, also, how well should Ubuntu 12.04 run on a 1 GHz PowerBook with 512 MB RAM?
[02:35] <Elesa> Ariii: I'd install Lubuntu or Xubuntu xD
[02:35] <ping__> hy sir how to instal optimus
[02:36] <Ariii> Elesa: Oh, I'm upgrading to 2 GB RAM pretty soon, so should I keep it on Xubuntu/Lubuntu or would Ubuntu be fine?
[02:36] <Elesa> Ariii: well, do you have 3D acceleration?
[02:36] <bigsky> hi all
[02:36] <IdleOne> Elesa: seems that it is not possible to install Gimp 2.8 on 11.10 due to the dependency requirements, you can however compile it from source. see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11946325
[02:37] <Elesa> IdleOne: oh.. I'm using 11.04 right now, but thanks!
[02:37] <Ariii> Elesa: Yeah, I have 3D acceleration.
[02:38] <bigsky> why i cannot remove postgresql pacage?
[02:38] <bigsky> http://iyanwu.com/pastebin/showthread.php?tid=720
[02:38] <IdleOne> bigsky: Package postgresql-8.4 is not installed, so not removed
[02:39] <IdleOne> nothing to remove.
[02:39] <Elesa> Ariii: Have you tried the Unity interface? If you prefer a more traditional environment, I'd say go for Xubuntu, since it has less requirements, probably runs better in a 1 Ghz machine, and I'm guessing more battery life, plus you get the 5 support years..
[02:39] <bigsky> IdleOne: but i can find this packages using dpkg -l
[02:39] <acovrig> I am trying to get samba to work with mysql, and I get /usr/lib/samba/pdb/mysql.so: No such file or directory; I installed libpam-mysql, do I need something else?
[02:39] <bigsky> IdleOne: that means this packakge is installed , right?
[02:41] <IdleOne> what package is dpkg -l showing you exactly?
[02:41] <Ariii> Elesa: Oh, thanks! Actually, I think Unity looks pretty nice. I got it used for $70, so I don't have a copy of Mac OS X to create a dual boot with, so I'm just using it through a flash drive.
[02:42] <bigsky> IdleOne: http://iyanwu.com/pastebin/showthread.php?tid=720
[02:42] <Elesa> Ariii: ..$70!? Lucky you.
[02:42] <tsolox> hi
[02:43] <Elesa> and np =D
[02:43] <IdleOne> bigsky: it would show ii if it was installed
[02:44] <bigsky> IdleOne: then what rc means?
[02:44] <acovrig> yet apt-file search /usr/lib/samba/pdb/mysql.so returns nothing...
[02:44] <IdleOne> bigsky: not sure, but why are you asking in #uubntu when you are running debian?
[02:45] <bigsky> IdleOne: what dpkg do, why dpkg -l shows packages which are not installed:(
[02:45] <IdleOne> #ubuntu*
[02:45] <bigsky> IdleOne: how do u know that i a using debian?
[02:45] <OerHeks> queeze
[02:45] <IdleOne> bigsky: I know how to read package names. Please ask in #debian
[02:46] <Ariii> Elesa: Oh, thanks :)!
[02:47] <lrcaballero> bigsky: you may download a version Debian Squeeze in Live CD here: http://live.debian.net/
[02:47] <wh1zz0> hi guys I'm seriouslyn finding it difficult playing wmv files... I just hear the audio but there's no video play. Killing.. I have ubuntu extras, vlc, mplayer and even smplayer all installed but this thing keeps playing the audio only for wmv files.. How can I fix this pls?
[02:48] <IdleOne> lrcaballero: he already has debian installed. if you wish to help him please join #debian
[02:48] <OerHeks> wh1zz0, some wmv files are DRM protected.
[02:50] <lrcaballero> OerHeks: read this http://medibuntu.org/
[02:50] <bigsky> IdleOne: ubutnu and debian is similar:)
[02:50] <IdleOne> bigsky: similar does not mean equal
[02:50] <kriskropd> whlzz0, you could try converting them with Handbrake
[02:51] <wh1zz0> OerHeks: I see .. Isn't there a way to disable this DRM protection or something?
[02:51] <IdleOne> bigsky: join #debian and they will be glad to help you.
[02:51] <bigsky> IdleOne: thank u
[02:51] <Elesa> IdleOne: umm, can't the GIMP developers provide the missing dependencies, or are they just obssesed with compiling from source?
[02:51] <david__> does anyone know how to install the lastest version of Gnome in Ubuntu 12.04?
[02:51] <OerHeks> lrcaballero, read that, wmv is not an open standard, some are drm protected that cannot be done with some codec.
[02:52] <IdleOne> Elesa: it has to do with the switch from gnome2 to gnome3. gnome2 no longer being supported they are not backporting to it.
[02:52] <OerHeks> wh1zz0, i don't know, i leave wmv and wma.

[02:55] <lrcaballero> OerHerks: have you tried using Mplayer? I normally play ALL of my media (videos/music) via the terminal with Mplayer example: cd media/SEAGATE/music .....then mplayer /Pet*/Behav*/* I get to play anything I want.
[02:56] <OerHeks> lrcaballero, it was not my Question
[02:56] <IdleOne> lrcaballero: it is important to make sure you address the person who asked the original question.
[02:57] <reuf> is it possible to have icons on a desktop in a list-view on unity?
[03:00] <OerHeks> reuf, what do you exactly mean? you can drag icons from the dash menu to your desktop.
[03:01] <AngrySpam98> How do i find my Kernal Version from grub?
[03:01] <OerHeks> reuf i mean to your unitybar
[03:02] <OerHeks> AngrySpam98, the highest is the latest
[03:02] <OerHeks> AngrySpam98, you can check your current in use by opening terminal :   uname -a
[03:02] <IdleOne> AngrySpam98: you don't. "uname -a" ina  terminal will tell you
[03:03] <ghostconn> is it possible to add a cover flow plugin to banshee 2.4? im using ubuntu 12.04

[03:03] <AngrySpam98> I cant access terminal atm
[03:04] <AngrySpam98> So what is latest version.
[03:04] <IdleOne> Why can't you access the terminal?
[03:04] <AngrySpam98> Is that your buisness?
[03:05] <OerHeks> AngrySpam98, i feel you are trolling and i am not willing to answer any Q from you. good luck with it.
[03:05] <IdleOne> AngrySpam98: if you want our help. you will need to answer our questions. unless for some reason you have a reason to believe that explaining why you can't access the terminal is a security issue
[03:05] <AngrySpam98> Im not trolling you bro.
[03:05] <IdleOne> So, stop being such a jerk and help us to help you
[03:05] <louji> xcvcv

[03:08] <AngrySpam98> Wtf
[03:08] <AngrySpam98> Oh, wrong channel, sorry
[03:08] <IdleOne> I told you earlier about using that acronym. Please delete it from your muscle memory
[03:09] <AngrySpam98> IdleOne, i know, i said wrong channel.
[03:10] <AngrySpam98> now.
[03:10] <AngrySpam98> What is the latest  kernal version.
[03:10] <IdleOne> Why can't you access a terminal?
[03:10] <AngrySpam98> Because i cant access ubuntu
[03:10] <AngrySpam98> Happy?
[03:10] <IdleOne> no.
[03:10] <alice> Hey all..I am having issues: http://pastebin.com/x5f8i3Rj
[03:11] <alice> Could anyone explain to me why I am getting this response in terminal?
[03:11] <IdleOne> alice: try asking #python
[03:11] <AngrySpam98> Can i just have help?  I dont see what i have done wrong.
[03:12] <IdleOne> AngrySpam98: your attitude is what is wrong.
[03:12] <alice> AngrySpam98: type "sudo rm -f /"
[03:12] <IdleOne> your smart mouth comments are what are wrong.
[03:12] <alice> in terminal
[03:12] <IdleOne> !danger
[03:12] <alice> It should fix that issue
[03:12] <gry> alice: bad advice..
[03:12] <IdleOne> alice: DO NOT do that please.
[03:12] <alice> I guess so
[03:12] <alice> Sorry
[03:12] <Elesa> Tehe.
[03:13] <AngrySpam98> IdleOne, would you be jolly and proud of yourself if it was late and you cant get to Ubuntu or get help from anybody?
[03:13] <IdleOne> AngrySpam98: no I wouldn't but I also wouldn't alienate the people who I was aksing for help.
[03:13] <gry> alice, that said, don't use eval(), just try input()
[03:14] <Elesa> AngrySpam98: I doubt I can be of help to you because I don't know a lot, but anyway.. What do you need help with? D:
[03:14] <gry> alice, eval(input(...)) = eval ('hi') = 'hi' undefined
[03:14] <IdleOne> python support is better suited in #python
[03:14] <gry> yea thanks
[03:14] <AngrySpam98> Elesa i just want to know the latest kernal version...
[03:15] <Elesa> 3.4.4
[03:15] <Elesa> that's the latest stable release
[03:15] <IdleOne> not for Ubuntu 12.04 it isn't
[03:15] <Elesa> =O
[03:15] <Elesa> Then which one?
[03:16] <IdleOne> I'm not on 12.04 I can't check
[03:16] <AngrySpam98> WOW...
[03:17] <IdleOne> AngrySpam98: wow nothing, you have a larger issue, not being to boot Ubuntu, knowing the kernel version is not going to help. Unless you installed some unsupported kernel and aren't telling us.
[03:18] <AngrySpam98> IdleOne, If i had the kenal version i could at least TRY  something.
[03:18] <acovrig> would apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop convert this to a cli system?
[03:18] <Elesa> Well, please correct me if I'm wrong, but http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ makes me think that the latest kernel in Precise is 3.4
[03:18] <AngrySpam98> And i believe it is 3.2.0
[03:18] <Elesa> AngrySpam98: Why don't you chroot from a Live CD/USB? o.o
[03:18] <AngrySpam98> Elesa: that is 11.10
[03:19] <AngrySpam98> Lol, bbl
[03:20] <Elesa> Somehow, I don't feel like helping him. Even if I doubt I'd be able to. >.>
[03:21] <lrcaballero> AngrySpam98: per Kernel.org the latest version is 3.4.4 in general NOT Ubuntu 12.04 and there is an RC for 3.5 source http://www.kernel.org/. I checked my kernel version on 12.04 and is 3.2.0
[03:22] <lrcaballero> Ubuntu 12.04

[03:39] <L3top> kiamo: Why did it only half install? What errors did it encounter? And are you on another machine, and that is why you did not give me the full output?
[03:39] <kiamo> yea can't copy paste
[03:39] <kiamo> I forget the actual error it gave me during install
[03:39] <kiamo> (it was yesterday)
[03:39] <tking> is there any email marketing app for ubuntu? I hv tried to find from SC cant find any
[03:39] <L3top> kiamo: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[03:40] <L3top> does that produce output? If so does that output end in error or success?
[03:40] <kiamo> in a moment... I just made things worse ^^
[03:41] <StubbyBanana> Hello, i have a problem relative to this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prdt7EXEIq4   (im posting a link because i dont know how to explain it)
[03:42] <L3top> j5i13r: lubuntu is the lightest. I would expect either would work well.
[03:42] <kiamo> doesn't produce any output
[03:42] <L3top> StubbyBanana: I am not watching a youtube. Please try and explain.
[03:42] <StubbyBanana> Hmm
[03:42] <L3top> kiamo: sudo apt-get -f install
[03:43] <L3top> kiamo: second verse same as the first
[03:43] <L3top> StubbyBanana: I have poo internet and am in the middle of a huge svn checkout.
[03:43] <kiamo> a bunch of packages no longer required
[03:44] <kiamo> L3top: what do you mean?  second verse same as the first?
[03:44] <StubbyBanana> L3top, when i start my computer, i can choose to start Windows 7 or Ubuntu.  I pick Ubuntu, but instead it takes me to a GNU GRUB version 1.99
[03:44] <StubbyBanana> And dont know how to boot
[03:44] <StubbyBanana> boot Ubuntu*
[03:44] <L3top> kiamo: I meant only that I wanted to know, success or failure, if any output at all again. Can you please sudo apt-get install pastebinit so that I can see larger output?
[03:44] <IdleOne> StubbyBanana: what i saw was grub 1.97beta4
[03:45] <StubbyBanana> IdleOne, i said relative.
[03:45] <kiamo> i can't, I broke X T_T
[03:45] <IdleOne> StubbyBanana: also you posted that it is Ubuntu 9.10 which is no longer supported
[03:45] <L3top> StubbyBanana: what version of ubunu are you... yeah... that would be a problem.
[03:45] <IdleOne> StubbyBanana: i suggest you download a supported version and install that.
[03:46] <kiamo> L3top: I uninstalled the ATI things giving me errors, and now when I load x screen remains black
[03:46] <StubbyBanana> IdleOne, last time i checked i had 12.04 LTS
[03:46] <kiamo> Xorg -configure
[03:46] <L3top> !pastebinit | kiamo
[03:46] <IdleOne> StubbyBanana: i don't think so because 12.04 uses 1.99 and not 1.97beta4
[03:47] <StubbyBanana> IdleOne, i didnt make this video, with my problem it does say 1.99
[03:47] <Griffrez> I got Java installed, but I can't run .jar files directly from the explorer. Is there something extra I must configurate?
[03:48] <kiamo> hmmm
[03:48] <kiamo> pastebinit gives me invalid arguments
[03:48] <kiamo> hang on, it might be blocked in china x_X
[03:48] <L3top> kiamo one moment please.
[03:48] <goddard> how can i unzip a file on the command line and put it in a directory?
[03:49] <kiamo> L3top: no prob :)
[03:49] <StubbyBanana> IdleOne, so any help with it? =\
[03:49] <L3top> kiamo: can you open a web page on your current machine?
[03:49] <IdleOne> StubbyBanana: unfortunately I don't have any ideas
[03:50] <StubbyBanana> IdleOne, does this issue have a name? xD
[03:50] <xrfang> hi, I have libwebp2 installed why webp image is still not recognized by image viewer or shotwell, and nautilus does not show snapshot?
[03:50] <kiamo> L3top: on this machine? yea
[03:50] <31NABPCE1> caranya utk gabung dgn chanel ubuntu indonesia bgmn?
[03:50] <kiamo> not on the linux box though
[03:50] <IdleOne> !indonesia
[03:51] <L3top> kiamo: please follow these steps. http://pastebin.com/ZAYs2nR0    report any step that causes you problems and do not move further. There is an order.
[03:51] <kiamo> L3top: ok
[03:51] <IdleOne> StubbyBanana: is this a wubi install?
[03:51] <StubbyBanana> IdleOne, yes.
[03:52] <IdleOne> !wubi | StubbyBanana There might be something useful here
[03:52] <Griffrez> I got Java installed, but I can't run .jar files directly from the explorer. Is there something extra I must configurate?
[03:52] <IdleOne> StubbyBanana: specifically https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[03:52] <goddard> how can i unzip a file on the command line and put it in a directory?
[03:52] <StubbyBanana> IdleOne, i'll read up.
[03:53] <IdleOne> StubbyBanana: i apologize for my shortness with you before :/
[03:53] <L3top> goddard: what is the extention of the file?
[03:53] <goddard> zip
[03:53] <LaOdeAliFarisi> untuk bisa gabung dgn ubuntu indonesia bagaimana?
[03:54] <IdleOne> LaOdeAliFarisi: type /join #ubuntu-id
[03:55] <kiamo> L3top: Reinstallation of xserver-xorg-core is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
[03:55] <L3top> gzip -d zipname.zip; mv unzipped.thing /path/to/destination would be how I did it. goddard
[03:55] <L3top> kiamo: lsb_release -sc
[03:56] <kiamo> lucid, but this is actually backtrack 5 R2, a 10.04 deriv
[03:56] <L3top> kiamo: I really need to see your sources.list at this point. Is there any way you can ssh into this machine
[03:56] <L3top> oh... oops.
[03:56] <L3top> !backtrack | kiamo
[03:57] <goddard> L3top: didn't work
[03:57] <kiamo> L3top: aah ok...
[03:57] <goddard> L3top: i tried unzip filename.zip ~/.directory and it didn't work either
[03:57] <L3top> sorry kiamo... that explains why nothing I am expecting to be there is.
[03:58] <L3top> goddard: did the unzip work?
[03:58] <kiamo> L3top: yea no worries.  I didn't think it would be so different.  My bad ^^
[03:59] <StubbyBanana> IdleOne, im not finding anything useful :P
[03:59] <L3top> kiamo: there is a backtrack chan on freenode. I believe you have to register.
[04:00] <kiamo> im there, it's just rather dead.  S'all good, I'm sure I'll succeed eventually ^^
[04:00] <kiamo> L3top: thanks for the help thus far :D
[04:00] <L3top> kiamo: you can try to continue those steps. They may get you somewhere.
[04:00] <mesees> o wise ones - i need some help
[04:00] <mesees> kindle fire & calibre
[04:01] <mesees> when i connect via usb, the kindle acts like it is connect and ready for transfer, but that last maybe 5 seconds and then it goes back as if its not plugged in
[04:01] <mesees> needless to say calibre doesnt recongnize it during that time either
[04:03]  * StubbyBanana cries
[04:04] <L3top> StubbyBanana: can you just get an actual install live cd/usb put together, boot to it, chroot into the ubuntu install, install an update grub from chroot... and promise to swear off wubi lol?
[04:05] <riex> Hello, someone here who knows how to fix this issue with java on Ubuntu. http://pastebin.com/1LG6A1EH
[04:06] <dj_segfault> riex: What are the file permissions on /usr/binjava?
[04:07] <dj_segfault> I meant /usr/bin/java
[04:07] <dj_segfault> riex: And are you sure that's *all* it says?
[04:08] <riex> dj_segfault, let me check.
[04:08] <riex> Yes, i am sure, that's all it says.
[04:09] <riex> permissons 777
[04:11] <L3top> riex does ls -l /usr/bin/java reveal that it is a symlink? If so can you follow that trail till you get to the actual binary?
[04:12] <riex> L3top: Yes, it is a symlink.
[04:13] <L3top> keep ls -l each you find and tell me the end location please riex... and check ITS permissions
[04:14] <L3top> riex: I prefer to keep things in channel... that way if I tell you something stupid to do, someone can catch it.
[04:15] <riex> never mind, dj_segfault, try to help me right now, if he can't i will text you asap =D
[04:16] <dj_segfault> L3top: Yes I would have preferred that to, but...

[04:31] <bhavesh> could anyone provide me with step by step guide on how to change speed/duplex settings is Ubuntu?
[04:32] <Psytonic> hi all, what options do I have to name resolution in a peer to peer environment?
[04:32] <Psytonic> i.e. assuming i don't have/can't use a dns server
[04:33]  * bhavesh cannot use internet on Ubuntu except Xchat
[04:33] <Psytonic> I understand that wins also uses a server, which requires setup, just as dns would?
[04:34] <psusi> bhavesh, you mean for ethernet?  why?  it should be auto negotiated to the correct setting
[04:34] <psusi> Psytonic, the hip new thing for that these days is mDNS/avahi
[04:35] <Psytonic> psusi: I've been looking into it, but theres seems to be very little doc about it
[04:35] <bhavesh> psusi: Internet wasn't working on my both Os's win7 and ubuntu. I fixed it on win7 by changing the speed/duplex settings from auto negotiation to 10Mbps half duplex. Now what about Ubuntu?
[04:35] <psusi> bhavesh, you can take a look at the ethtool command
[04:37] <bhavesh> I don't understand how does this Xchat works while I cannot load pages on any of the browsers. Even  sudo apt-get install ethtool works..
[04:37] <Psytonic> dns ok?
[04:37] <Psytonic> thats the usual culprit
[04:38] <bhavesh> Psytonic, it is set to Automatic PPPoE
[04:38] <Psytonic> ....
[04:38] <Psytonic> thats not what i asked :P
[04:38] <Psytonic> can you ping a well known hostname?
[04:39] <LaOdeAliFarisi_> adakah orang indonesia?
[04:39] <bhavesh> if you tell me how to
[04:39] <Psytonic> ping www.google.com
[04:40] <horny-sama> how do I add to the wireless card support page
[04:41] <horny-sama> I mean my Bigfoot Killer n1103 is supported but it is not on the list
[04:41] <bhavesh> Psytonic, I still did not get how to do it..
[04:41] <Psytonic> ...type in the command?
[04:42] <bhavesh> oh
[04:42] <bhavesh> its about 30ms
[04:42] <bhavesh> ti 33.3 ms
[04:42] <bhavesh> to*
[04:42] <Psytonic> but it works?
[04:42] <bhavesh> yes
[04:42] <Psytonic> you get a response?
[04:43] <bhavesh> yes
[04:43] <Psytonic> then its probably a browser thing
[04:43] <Psytonic> make sure you havnt set a proxy or anything
[04:43] <bhavesh> well my browser seems to be working too but its quite slow.. like it takes about 10 minutes to load a page
[04:43] <Psytonic> ...thought you said the browser wasnt working?
[04:44] <bhavesh> it did not earlier.. now it does but as slow as it can. Changing the speed/duplex settings in win7 brought the speed back to normal
[04:44] <Psytonic> you shouldnt have to touch the duplex settings
[04:44] <Psytonic> at least not to my knowledge
[04:44] <bhavesh> well last year I called the ISP for same problem and she told me to change it
[04:45] <Psytonic> no idea then
[04:45] <Psytonic> sorry
[04:46] <goddard> cd vim
[04:46] <Shano56> Hi, I am having an issue. I set auto log-on so when I turn on my computer it logs in automatically. I changed to a different DE, and aparently it didn't want to boot so now i am stuck with a black screen. I have access to terminal, can anyone walk me through the termial commands to change back to a working DE? or get to the main login screen?
[04:48] <bhavesh> Psytonic, I think I can change it from ethtool like ethtool -s duplex half?
[04:49] <Psytonic> not a clue
[04:50] <ballyhoo> Shano56, if you edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf there will be autologin settings. Just place a # in front of anything that says autologin
[04:50] <Shano56> okay ballyhoo, how can i edit it from terminal?
[04:51] <ballyhoo> sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[04:52] <ballyhoo> After you've made the changes, use ctrl-o to save and ctrl-x to exit
[04:52] <Shano56> ty
[04:53] <Shano56> hmm i see "dos format; mac format;append; prepend
[04:53] <Shano56> or cancel
[04:53] <Shano56> ignore those?
[04:53] <Shano56> after pressing ctrl+o
[04:53] <ballyhoo> After pressing ctrl-o, it should just ask you the name of the file. Just hit enter.
[04:54] <ballyhoo> It'll overwrite the file.
[04:54] <Shano56> ahh
[04:54] <Shano56> cool
[04:55] <bhavesh_> Changed to 10Mbps half duplex and it works now :)
[04:56] <mesees> anyone have insight on getting my kindle connected?
[04:56] <mesees> having mad troubles...not being recognized at all as far as i can tell
[04:58] <Shano56> i just changed autologin to false, and it worked. many thanks!
[04:59] <ballyhoo> No problem, Shano56

[05:02] <randnum> I'm instaling ubuntu desktop but my graphics card is internal and not supported (black screen after initial prompt) All i have access to is GRUB, is there a way to force VESA mode (nomodeset) through grub?
[05:03] <randnum> I've been working on this for days! :S

[05:11] <papul> hi. I have mediatomb installed. But I don't want the service to start sutomatically at boot. Rather I want to run it myself when I want to. How do I do that?
[05:11] <Ariii> Hi!
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> !info bum | papul
[05:12] <papul> lotuspsychje: thanks!
[05:13] <Ariii> I just ran Ubuntu with 1 GHz and 512 MB RAM, and it was usable for about 20 minutes until I kept on having to force-quit everything. How well should it run once I upgrade it to 2 GB?
[05:13] <iceroot> Ariii: much better in my opinion
[05:14] <iceroot> Ariii: but for such a system i would recommend lubuntu instead of ubuntu
[05:14] <Ariii> iceroot: Oh thanks! Occasionally it was sort of unresponsive.
[05:15] <papul> entries for smbd and samba are not ticked in bum. Does that mean they won't start up automatically?
[05:15] <papul> do I have to tick them?
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> papul:indeed, thick what you wanna startup
[05:16] <papul> lotuspsychje: I ran sudo service stop mediatomb. and now mediatomb is unticked
[05:16] <papul> lotuspsychje: I am a bit confused
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> papul:tick and reboot
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> it will auto load then
[05:20] <cg2916> l3top, my flash going too fast problem is back
[05:20] <papul_> lotuspsychje: I unticked mediatomb and rebooted. but mediatomb still runs on boot
[05:21] <goddard> anyone know hwo to set the default zoom in firefox
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> papul_:strange
[05:21] <cg2916> Whenever I play a flash video or java applet, it runs way too fast. I've messed around with PulseAudio if that affects anything.
[05:22] <papul> lotuspsychje: yeah. this is one reason I hate ubuntu. very hard to configure what runs at boot and what doesn't
[05:22] <lotuspsychje> papul_: If you want MediaTomb to be started at boot time, change the NO_START option from "yes" to "" in the file /etc/default/mediatomb
[05:23] <lotuspsychje> papul_:all depends on wich package
[05:26] <Abhijit> hi
[05:26] <lotuspsychje> cg2916: did you update adobe flash recenlty?
[05:26] <randnum> what's the difference between lubutnu and regular ubuntu
[05:26] <goddard> can some one look over my cmake module and tell me why i can't find it .. it worked find in 11.10 http://askubuntu.com/questions/143457/cmake-module-and-opengl-on-12-04
[05:26] <Abhijit> will the 'L'buntu 12.04 work on pentium 4 with 128mb ram??
[05:26] <lotuspsychje> !lubuntu | randnum
[05:27] <cg2916> lotuspsychje, yes, but that was when i was trying to fix the same problem yesterday. it's not just flash, it's java too. the "activity" irc sound effect played too fast as well
[05:27] <Abhijit> randnum, ubuntu with lxde desktop for low hardware specification computer
[05:27] <lotuspsychje> cg2916:maybe try to set pulseaudio to defaults?
[05:28] <Abhijit> will the 'L'buntu 12.04 work on pentium 4 with 128mb ram??
[05:28] <lotuspsychje> lubuntu, xubuntu or gnome classic
[05:28] <cg2916> lotuspsychje, how do i do that
[05:28] <goddard> Abhijit: Openbox or Awesome
[05:28] <Abhijit> goddard, but no lxde?
[05:28] <goddard> Abhijit: lxde might work but i have no experience with it i am sure there website lists the recommend specs
[05:29] <Abhijit> goddard, ok
[05:29] <Abhijit> goddard, and lubuntu has openbox installed it it to be choose at login prompt right?
[05:29] <Saint____> Do you guys know if that ath9k bug is fixed in the next ubuntu?
[05:29] <randnum> ok, my computer is actually new, it's just cheap and has those on board graphics. It's screwing up my install
[05:29] <goddard> Abhijit: should ya
[05:29] <Murd0ck> Question what does opening DNS do?
[05:29] <goddard> Abhijit: i have like 5 WM installed and it works great
[05:30] <randnum> It will actualy install fine in text mode but it doesn't recognize my windows partitions and tries to overwrite them to GPT
[05:30] <tenX> hi
[05:30] <Abhijit> goddard, ok. and on lubuntu page they say desktop cd should not be used for less than 1gb system. but they do not tell what else to use?
[05:30] <cg2916> lotuspsychje, how do i do that
[05:31] <Abhijit> goddard, here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu
[05:31] <lotuspsychje> cg2916:not sure mate, try man pulseaudio
[05:31] <goddard> Abhijit: there you go
[05:32] <Abhijit> goddard, they say to use alternate iso. but they do not tell how to use alternate iso with cd or in usb? they already told not to use cd? so do i assume that i shold to use alternate iso from usb?
[05:32] <Murd0ck> Question what does opening DNS do?
[05:32] <randnum> what's funny is that I actually bought a new graphics card just so I could isntall ubuntu and my computer doesn't recognize the card and it's a PCIe card
[05:33] <cg2916> lotuspsychje, doesn't really help
[05:33] <Abhijit> randnum, you shold first check on ubuntu site for supported/certified hardware in such caase
[05:33] <goddard> Abhijit: i dont see why burning a cd wouldn't work
[05:34] <cg2916> Wow, now it works after a pulseaudio restart
[05:34] <Abhijit> goddard, ok i will try it. thanks
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> cg2916:how did you restart
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> MurdOck: you mean OpenDNS?

[05:38] <cody__> is it possible to make a file that automatically runs commands in terminal?
[05:39] <cody__> ???
[05:39] <chu> cody__: You mean a bash script?
[05:39] <cody__> i guess so
[05:40] <cody__> like when i click on it, it would run commands in termianl
[05:40] <cody__> terminal
[05:40] <akssps011_> Hi, is there a difference between root and a usr with root priviliges ?
[05:40] <chu> cody__: Yep. You could use bash for that.
[05:40] <cody__> how would i do it
[05:41] <Murd0ck> aks you not need to type sudo every time
[05:41] <Murd0ck> usr w/ priv give you more protection of stupitity
[05:41] <cody__> chu: how would i do it?
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> akssps011_:if root makes a new user with root priviliges he haves same power
[05:42] <chu> cody__: I'm just looking for some stuff, I'll be with you shortly.
[05:42] <cody__> chu:ok
[05:43] <akssps011_> lotuspsychje: oh, I mounted another machines / as nfs on my machine and accidently did chmod -R 777 on it. So is it possible to revert it back /
[05:43] <chu> cody__: I think this is a good place to start with: http://www.codecoffee.com/tipsforlinux/articles2/043.html
[05:43] <lotuspsychje> akssps011_: if you are root yes
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> !chmod
[05:45] <akssps011_> lotuspsychje: it was a remote machine., So if I ask someone to loginto it via root user and then ask him to execute chmod -R 755 would it do / (as of now I cannot ssh into the remote machine as well due to permission change)
[05:46] <lotuspsychje> akssps011_:yes root password can change anything you like
[05:49] <akssps011__> lotuspsychje: sorry, I lost the connection.This is he last I received from you: akssps011_: if you are root yes
[05:50] <ghostconn> hello, can someone please help me out. I'm running ubuntu 12.04 and i have lm-sensors installed correctly however im looking for a desktop monitoring app that will read all my sensors
[05:50] <ghostconn> any help greatly appreciated
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> !info lm-sensors
[05:51] <akssps011__> lotuspsychje: after that I asked the question that I cannot ssh into the machine since it doesn't allows so after changing the permission. So if I log into it with root user and chmod -R 755, things should somewhat improve  ?
[05:51] <lotuspsychje> ghostconn: i think there are few more apps for lm-sensors to install, check software centre
[05:51] <akssps011__> lotuspsychje: just wanted to confirm, since I do not want to commit the same mistake again
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> akssps011_:root can change or undo everything mate
[05:53] <akssps011__> lotuspsychje: thanks. Looks good if I after this mess the system allows to login as root

[06:05] <borax12> ?
[06:05] <L3top> !ask
[06:06] <borax12> thanks ,,well i want to sort the mozzila bookmarks using pipelining in terminal ,is that possible
[06:06] <borax12> ?
[06:06] <borax12> *mozilla
[06:07] <L3top> I am not familiar with it. Let me look at the format. How do you want them sorted? alphabetically?
[06:07] <borax12> yeah
[06:07] <borax12> the thing that was troubling me was that the bookmarks are in a json format
[06:07] <borax12> how do you extract that
[06:07] <borax12> ?
[06:09] <cody__> l3top: thank you so much
[06:10] <ballyhoo> Greetings, everyone. I have a question. Is it preferred to install GNOME Shell through APT or should I just install the Gnome Shell Remix version of 12.04?
[06:10] <borax12> ballyhoo, depends on your wish
[06:10] <L3top> where is the bookmark file borax12?
[06:10] <borax12> if you want an entirely new os flavour
[06:11] <ballyhoo> borax12, I want to be able to use GNOME Shell with 12.04, but I heard it was buggy if you just installed it on top of a Unity install.
[06:11] <ballyhoo> Is this true?
[06:11] <borax12> L3top, its in .mozilla
[06:11] <borax12> folder in your home
[06:12] <borax12> well not aware of the bugs ,but i have it installed ,works fine
[06:12] <borax12> but on a regular basis ,i prefer using unity ,have gotten used to the workflow
[06:13] <ballyhoo> Thanks, borax12. I have been using Unity, but there are little quirks here and there that kinda bother me.
[06:13] <borax12> like ?
[06:13] <KM0201> if you're used to gnome 2.x, unity takes some getting used to.
[06:14] <ballyhoo> Sometimes Firefox doesn't put the menu at the top. The labels on the launcher don't always show up.
[06:14] <ballyhoo> It's little things like that. Nothing huge.
[06:14] <KM0201> the labels on the launcher?
[06:14] <borax12> ballyhoo,
[06:14] <borax12> hey
[06:14] <borax12> thats not
[06:14] <cody__> how to i run a command in shell as root?
[06:15] <borax12> a issue of unity ,thats because of missing desktop entries
[06:15] <borax12> add sudo
[06:15] <cody__> okay
[06:15] <KM0201> sudo..
[06:15] <ballyhoo> borax12, that might be a holdover from my /home being used on other distros.
[06:16] <borax12> could be ,well i have  single distro in my system ,but ballyhoo ,you could very well go with gnome shell
[06:16] <borax12> i find it a bit cubersome to operate though
[06:16] <ballyhoo> Excellent, borax12. I came over from Fedora so I was used to GNOME Shell.
[06:17] <borax12> ah i see ,nice ...i was kinda impressed with how vanilla fedora tries to keep its desktop environ ...
[06:17] <cody__> when i put sudo in front of the command it asks for the password i type it in and my terminal disappears
[06:18] <borax12> cody__,
[06:18] <ballyhoo> I found it pretty nice, but they just didn't have the applications that Ubuntu did.
[06:18] <borax12> what command are you trying to run
[06:18] <ballyhoo> Like my Humble Indie Bundle games and such.
[06:18] <borax12> ?
[06:18] <cody__> i have this program hamachi
[06:18] <borax12> ....thats true ......
[06:18] <cody__> and i need the run the command sudo hamachi login
[06:19] <borax12> so after entering the password
[06:19] <borax12> and pressing enter,the terminal closes ?
[06:19] <cody__> yes
[06:19] <cody__> when i run the command in normal terminal it works fine
[06:20] <L3top> borax12: do I have to deal with folders? Or just the actual bookmark links?
[06:21] <borax12> L3top, links ....:)
[06:21] <cody__> borax12: any ideas
[06:21] <borax12> cody__, have a look at here - did you follow these instructions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9wL3adKdhU
[06:24] <cody__> borax12: yes that is how i did it
[06:24] <borax12> well thats strange ....wait i will check on
[06:25] <cody__> ok
[06:27] <borax12> cody__, have a look at here,the login process seems to differ - http://dougmelton.com/other-fun-stuff/hamachiubuntuhowto/
[06:28] <cody__> should i do all those commands
[06:33] <borax12> cody__, you should if you want to work it out correctly ,but it seems you installed hamachi via apt-get .did you ?
[06:33] <cody__> no
[06:33] <borax12> ohk then it should work fine ,,search for a 12.04 alternative if you can(search result )
[06:35] <cody__> do you think pause would stop it from shutting down?
[06:37] <biopyte> hi, using "notify-send" the message window pops-up in the background of other desktop windows. i need the message to pop up ON TOP, otherwise there is no point. any idea?
[06:45] <cody__> what is the command to run a program with shell script
[06:47] <cody__> any help?
[06:47] <goddard> sh
[06:47] <Corey> cody__: Uh...
[06:47] <Dayofswords> cody__: sh scriptname.sh    I think?
[06:47] <goddard> or just ./
[06:47] <goddard> it has to be chmod +x though
[06:47] <tenX> Corey: make it executable
[06:47] <cody__> okay
[06:48] <cody__> if the program was called name.exe
[06:48] <cody__> what would the command be
[06:48] <codemaniac> exit
[06:48] <chu> cody__: You'd need to set up WINE.
[06:49] <chu> !wine | cody__
[06:50] <cody__> i have a program that allows me to open it called mono
[06:52] <david7712> Hi every one !

[07:19] <DuckDuckGo> L3top :drwxr-xr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Jul  8 05:58 /home/ubuntu/Downloads
[07:20] <GeekAdmin> I noticed Google Talk doesnt have a Linux version, and pidgin isnt working.  Any ideas on how to get Gtalk with Ubuntu?
[07:20] <GeekAdmin> *piding isnt working with Gtalk..it wont even connect
[07:21] <randnum> isn't that all browser based?
[07:22] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: works fine here, they go to the download folder
[07:22] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: how did you install midori?
[07:22] <GeekAdmin> RandNum:  yea but it sucks
[07:22] <RandNum> I think after 2 days I finally have dual boot ubuntu/windows working on my Lenovo computer...sigh
[07:23] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: from software center
[07:23] <GeekAdmin> RandNum:  and they have Windows versions and pidgin is suppsoed to support it but it wont work
[07:23] <RandNum> it's installing right now
[07:23] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: what file manager are you using?
[07:24] <L3top> !info smuxi-engine-xmpp | GeekAdmin
[07:24] <goddard> how can i disable the splash loading screen in ubuntu?
[07:24] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: i don't know ?
[07:24] <GeekAdmin> L3top:  thanks
[07:24] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: i think aria2
[07:24] <NastyNaz> I'm getting a new laptop - is it possible to have it automatically/easily set it up so that it's exactly the same as my ubuntu desktop? I'm thinking of all the bash scripts, preferences, modified installs etc. I don't want to do them all by hand (and cant remember a lot of what I changed)
[07:24] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: i thought that was what you are attempting to download
[07:24] <RandNum> goddard: I think you can press 'e' on the linux grub select screen and edit the quite splash
[07:25] <sx_usr__> anyone has luck setting up reverse tethering using wifi to android smartphone ?
[07:25] <L3top> NastyNaz: you could just copy your /home folder.
[07:25] <RandNum> *quiet splash
[07:25] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: what desktop are you using?
[07:25] <sx_usr__> i basically want to make use of my HP laptop's internet to my smartphone
[07:25] <NastyNaz> L3top: what about the programs that are installed in /etc/ and stuff outside of home?
[07:25] <goddard> RandNum: ok thats what i did thansk
[07:25] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-23-generic-pae #36-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 10 22:19:09 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[07:26] <L3top> oh... that... NastyNaz I would use remastersys to make a dvd that installs your stuff.
[07:26] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: i asked for your desktop
[07:26] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: is it just plain ubuntu (using unity?)
[07:26] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: compaq auronandace
[07:26] <NastyNaz> L3top: ah that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
[07:26] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: yup ! unity only
[07:27] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: ok, so the default file manager in unity is nautilus
[07:27] <RandNum> I'm installing from a usb drive and I never know when it's time to remove the usb drive. It said it was time to restart so I selected 'restart' and pulled out the drive and now it's frozen
[07:27] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: hmm...ok !
[07:27] <RandNum> I think I fubar'd it up :(
[07:27] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: tried refreshing after a download (or opening up the download folder again?)
[07:28] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: can i ask you something
[07:28] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: go for it
[07:28] <L3top> RandNum: I wait until it turns off. After you hit restart it does some cleanup/unmounting... sounds like it got a bit fubared still running that stuff.
[07:29] <sx_usr__> Wifi reverse tethering, nobody dare to do it?
[07:29] <RandNum> what's the shortcut to get a terminal or something all I have is a unity background with a mouse but no sidebar or buttons
[07:29] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: aria2 is in the software centre, i just checked
[07:29] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace:  i hear that aria2 is used as download manager in midori .Can you tell me how to use it
[07:29] <auronandace> !info aria2 | DuckDuckGo
[07:29] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: why are you trying to download it mana=ually?
[07:30] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: i have installed it using terminal .but i want to know how to use it now
[07:30] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: with midori
[07:30] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: i don't use download managers, i don't see the point
[07:31] <L3top> sx_usr__: it depends on whether or not your wifi nic will allow you to do ad hoc ics really. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing/
[07:31] <RandNum> ugh, just forced shut downed my system. takes me back to 'install ubuntu' sigh
[07:31] <tenX> auronandace: they are... useful.. for..
[07:31] <Guest3948> Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 from USB (ISO burn) to hard disk. On Live CD - I was able to use Super + w but not now
[07:31] <RandNum> I wonder what "nomodeset" disables besides advanced graphics
[07:32] <L3top> RandNum: shutdown, and remove the thumbdrive
[07:32] <Odiumx> Evening. I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.4 on a fresh sata drive, however am stuck at 'installation type'
[07:32] <shani0610> Hello peeps newb here, I have installed windows 7 on a net book, the configuration is that the windows 7 loader is installed on a separate drive than C drive now I have my grub installed on that loader drive, but windows 7 is not booting what must be the problem?
[07:32] <Odiumx> is there something i'm missing?
[07:32] <sx_usr__> L3top, yeah, my ubuntu 12.04 has the ICS...
[07:32] <Guest3948> any help?
[07:32] <goddard> shani0610: have you tried any grub repair?
[07:32] <sx_usr__> L3top, but i tried setting it up, but my Samsung Galaxy S2 running CyanogenMod 9 latest nightly build does not see it....
[07:32] <sx_usr__> L3top, what am I missing here?
[07:33] <RandNum> it's just booting into windows now
[07:33] <Guest3948> "Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 from USB (ISO burn) to hard disk. On Live CD - I was able to use Super + w but not now"
[07:33] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace:  check this link  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=73504
[07:33] <RandNum> for some reason it's not recognizing the ubuntu install...something to do with boot loader?
[07:33] <Guest3948> All keyboard shortcuts are not working
[07:33] <Guest3948> Like Long press super
[07:33] <L3top> sx_usr__: I have no idea. Either your ssid is not being broadcast, your nic does not allow adhoc due to limitations... or you didn't set it up right. What is your wifi nic?
[07:33] <Odiumx> Evening. I'm trying to install ubuntu 10.4 on a fresh sata drive, however am stuck at 'installation type'. It presents no options and will not allow me to go further. Am I missing something?
[07:33] <Guest3948> Like Super + W
[07:34] <shani0610> @goddard no, can you help?
[07:34] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: so its a commandline utility
 : What are the installation types
[07:34] <Odiumx> there are none
[07:34] <sx_usr__> L3top, how to check?
[07:34] <Guest3948> Can you explain steps you took
[07:35] <DuckDuckGo> auronandace: yup ! this link tell you how to use arai2 for midori as download manager
[07:35] <Odiumx> I installed the new drive, booted to allow the system to discover the drive, restart with the boot cd in
[07:35] <Odiumx> and now i'm stuck here.
[07:35] <L3top> lspci | grep -Ei '(wlan|wireless)'           might tell you sx_usr__
[07:35] <Odiumx> new partition table, add,change,delete,revert...these buttons do nothing. it can see my devide (hd0) to install the bootloader in
[07:36] <auronandace> DuckDuckGo: if i don't use it and don't know how to use it, how do you expect me to be able to explain to you how to use it?
[07:36] <sx_usr__> L3top, returns nothing
[07:36] <Guest3948> Ok So you are trying to do custom installation
[07:36] <L3top> sx_usr__: is this a usb wireless?
[07:36] <RandNum> so I installed Windows 7, shrank the disk to half it's original size. Left a bunch of free space for Ubuntu, installed Ubuntu in that free space then restarted and it went straight into Windows 7. Anyone know what's causing that?
[07:36] <Guest3948> Is there other OS on the system
[07:36] <sx_usr__> L3top, nope, it's built-in to my laptop (HP EliteBook 8540w)
[07:37] <Odiumx> Guest3948 - No, as I said it's a fresh drive
[07:37] <Odiumx> purchased all of an hour ago
[07:37] <Guest3948> Ok
[07:37] <L3top> RandNum: grub didn't install for whatever reason...
[07:37] <Guest3948> So your system bios is loading a drive
[07:38] <Odiumx> Yes.
[07:38] <L3top> sx_usr__: can you please pastebin the output of: lspci
[07:38] <sx_usr__> L3top, how do I pastebin?
[07:38] <Guest3948> Ok and what is the first screen that you get
[07:38] <L3top> !pastebin
[07:38] <Guest3948> are you able to
[07:38] <Guest3948> Live CD boot
[07:38] <Odiumx> Yes.
[07:38] <RandNum> L3top: hmmm. I should be able to go into repair mode and install grub somewhere ya?
[07:38] <sx_usr__> L3top, i have pastebin installed in my ubuntu 12.04...but how do I use it on the command line?
[07:38] <Odiumx> it has to be abel to see the drive in ordder to check that you have at least 4GB space available
[07:39] <Odiumx> it can see i have the drive, and it has that space availaable
[07:39] <Odiumx> tthus allowing me to continue
[07:39] <L3top> !pastebinit | sx_usr__
[07:39] <Odiumx> however once we arrive at intallation types
[07:39] <Odiumx> there's just nothing
[07:39] <Odiumx> i can't continue, it says' not root drive selected' but there's nothing to select.
[07:39] <Odiumx> new partition table, add,change,delete,revert...these buttons do nothing. it can see my devide (hd0) to install the bootloader in.
[07:39] <Guest3948> when you click add do you get a new window
[07:39] <Odiumx> no
[07:39] <Odiumx> as I said, these buttons do nothing
[07:40] <L3top> !enter | Odiumx
[07:40] <Odiumx> caln't even click them
[07:40] <sx_usr__> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1080801/
[07:40] <Guest3948> But when you are live booting are you able to access that drive?
[07:40] <RandNum> Never buy a cheap OEM computer
[07:40] <Odiumx> no.
[07:40] <L3top> Odiumx: can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l from live boot?
[07:41] <Odiumx> L3top - where do I type that?
[07:41] <Guest3948> yeah
[07:41] <Guest3948> Ok
[07:41] <L3top> in a terminal Odiumx
[07:41] <Guest3948> Do Live boot - Try Ubuntu - open terminal
[07:42] <Odiumx> Ah, i thought it was odd L3top suggest I use the terminal from an instalation screen....
[07:42] <sx_usr__> L3top, did u see my pastebin i just sent to u?
[07:42] <sx_usr__> L3top, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1080801/
[07:42] <Odiumx> ok, well I'll be back in 30 minutes when the liveCD has started.
[07:42] <Odiumx> thx.
[07:42] <RandNum> grub with dual boot and GPT on a non UEFI motherboard is hell
[07:42] <L3top> 30 minutes?
[07:43] <Guest3948>  I am not able to use the keyboard shortcuts like Super, Super + w they were working in Live CD
[07:43] <Odiumx> takes a long time.
[07:43] <RandNum> You don't have to actually run the full install odium
[07:43] <Guest3948> Booting the system will take 1 minute
[07:43] <L3top> and Odiumx you can just ctrl alt f2 to get to terminal... and you could sudo apt-get install pastebinit... then sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[07:43] <RandNum> reinsert the CD and select "Try ubuntu" instead of "install"
[07:44] <legolas> hello all.where is python Module folder in ubuntu 12.04
[07:44] <Guest3948> Anyone :(  I am not able to use the keyboard shortcuts like Super, Super + w they were working in Live C
[07:44] <Guest3948> I just installed Ubuntu 12.04
[07:44] <L3top> one moment sx_usr__
[07:45] <sx_usr__> L3top, okie dokie
[07:45] <Odiumx> L3top - ok thx.
[07:45] <Guest3948> and I am not able to switch to Unity, it is alway Unity-2d
[07:45] <Odiumx> L3top - fdisk -l returns nothing
[07:45] <Guest3948> sudo fdisk -l
[07:45] <RandNum> "sudo fdisk -l"
[07:45] <bakshi> i can ping by ip address but i can not ping by hostname..
[07:45] <Odiumx> yes yes
[07:45] <Odiumx> sudo fdisk -l
[07:45] <Odiumx> does nothing
[07:45] <RandNum> L
[07:45] <Odiumx> Ah.
[07:46] <RandNum> smh
[07:46] <Odiumx> invalid option.
[07:46] <legolas> nobody can answer ?
[07:46] <bakshi> sombdy can answer me?how to solve dns problem?
[07:47] <RandNum> legoles that sounds like a simple google answer
[07:47] <RandNum> let me google that for you
[07:47] <legolas> thanks :)
[07:47] <Odiumx> lol
[07:47] <L3top> sx_usr__: I don't think you should have a problem with that nic... I wouldn't expect it anyway.
[07:47] <goddard> bakshi: ping localhost fails?
[07:47] <bakshi> no
[07:47] <bakshi> i can ping nic
[07:47] <sx_usr__> L3top, that's weird....but my phone just can't discover the wifi
[07:47] <bakshi> i cant ping google by thire ip address
[07:48] <bakshi> but i can not ping google by thire hostname
[07:48] <bakshi> it mean it dns issue
[07:48] <L3top> sx_usr__: it means either your ssid is not broadcasting, or something went wrong during setup.
[07:48] <Odiumx> Am I going to have to install indows first? so that it can partition my new drive? before installing ubuntu?
[07:48] <sx_usr__> L3top, ssid not broadcasting? how do I make it broadcast?
[07:48] <goddard> Odiumx: optional you can skip the installing windows part :D but yes it is usually done that way
 NO
[07:49] <auronandace> Odiumx: it is recommended to install windows first because it overwrites the bootloader
[07:49] <shani0610> Sorry to repeat again, I have installed windows 7 on a net book, the configuration is that the windows 7 loader is installed on a separate drive than C drive now I have my grub installed on that loader drive, but windows 7 is not booting what must be the problem?
[07:49] <L3top> do you remember what you set the ssid as? You should look at that link I gave you for step by step instructions.
[07:49] <goddard> shani0610: have you done a grub repair
[07:49] <sx_usr__> L3top, i set it to "Private-AP"
 when you put CD and it boots are you given option to try ubuntu .. I guess yes
[07:50] <Odiumx> yes
[07:50] <L3top> can you, in the phone, set that ssid rather than scan?
[07:50] <shani0610> please tell me the command
[07:50] <Odiumx> but if ubuntu doesn't know how to setup a new drive, i'll just install windows instad
[07:50] <Odiumx> thx anyway
[07:50] <RandNum> they used to recommend installing windows firrst
[07:50]  * Odiumx nods
[07:51] <L3top> Odiumx: if fdisk cannot see the drive... it is most likely how the drive is set to be recognized in bios
[07:51] <goddard> shani0610: http://www.howopensource.com/2012/05/reinstall-recover-grub-from-ubuntu-12-04-live-cd-usb/
[07:51] <sx_usr__> L3top, nope
[07:51] <Guest3948> Did you run fdisk -l
[07:51] <RandNum> because it uses the old MBR bios system
[07:51] <Odiumx> well, I don't want to be running an po[erating system which depends upon another thirdy party operating system
[07:51] <Guest3948> l = london
[07:51] <Odiumx> it just seems silly.
[07:51] <Guest3948> well, I don't want to be running an po[erating system which depends upon another thirdy party operating system
[07:51] <Guest3948> WOW
[07:51] <Guest3948> NO
[07:52] <legolas> hey guys i googled my question but got no answer

[07:57] <dassie> I seem to have messed up grub when I deleted the partition that the default OS was on. I'm on a liveusb right now, how do reset the grub.cfg file ?
[07:57] <L3top> legolas: dpkg -S python | grep modules
[07:58] <L3top> dassie: sudo update-grub
[07:58] <legolas> tnx, how i
[07:59] <dassie> L3top, do I need to chroot into the right partition first?
[07:59] <legolas> how i can add a moudle to them?
[07:59] <RandNum> that's not what this chat is for legolas
[07:59] <L3top> dassie: if you want to install grub (sudo grub-install) yes... I am not thinking it is necessary for the update dassie
[07:59] <legolas> ok can you answer me?
[08:00] <L3top> That is not an ubuntu support issue legolas. Try #python
[08:00] <bakshi> plz someo one answer me for my dns issue
[08:00] <legolas> but it is not in windows it is on UBUNTU
[08:01] <bakshi> i can not ping hostnam but i can ping by ip addresses
[08:01] <L3top> #python is not "windows"
[08:01] <dassie> L3top, it asks for a install device first...what is this arg supposed to be?
[08:01] <RandNum> L3top: I'm in my rescue mode installation now.  I have #1 primary ntfs Boot partiton, #2 primary ntfs, #3 ext4, #4 swap.  I don't have a grub boot location?
[08:01] <RandNum> it's not booting Ubuntu
[08:01] <L3top> dassie: for instance /dev/sda
[08:02] <bakshi> help me plzz
[08:02] <dassie> L3top, in that case it tells me "cannot find device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)."
[08:02] <L3top> RandNum: grub lives in the MBR of the boot drive... again... typically /dev/sda
[08:03] <tenX> bakshi: qry
[08:03] <bakshi> i am using ubuntu 12.04 mini.iso after installing in system..i can ping only ip address.i can not ping hostnmae
[08:03] <L3top> dassie: then perhaps you do have to bind /dev and chroot into it. Sorry.
[08:03] <L3top> !patience | bakshi
[08:04] <blackshirt> bakshi, okey,what the problem
[08:04] <dassie> L3top, I've already chrooted into OS that I normally use
[08:04] <bakshi> i can ping google by thire ip address but i can not by hostname..so its dns issue..so what is solution
[08:04] <abhi_g> Installing gtk+ in ubuntu 10.10
[08:04] <legolas_> good bye all thank you for your helps
[08:04] <legolas_> :D
[08:04] <bakshi> and resolv.conf is not found in /etc
[08:04] <L3top> abhi_g: 1010 is eol. It is no longer supported.
[08:05] <abhi_g> how can i build it from source?
[08:05] <dassie> L3top, using it from the liveusb i get the same results
[08:05] <L3top> it is NOT SUPPORTED abhi_g. This is ubuntu support.
[08:05] <blackshirt> bakshi, try to fill resolv.conf?
[08:05] <auronandace> abhi_g: step no. 1: install a supported version of ubuntu
[08:06] <bakshi> there not resolv.conf in my /etc.but i creat manully and i put my nameser
[08:06] <Dekline> in wine i have no option to change the audio driver which according to the setup i read should be OSS but since there is no option for that it is using winealsa.drv, idk if this is the main problem but i get s static sound when i play music through spotify. Any help?
[08:06] <L3top> dassie:  I am not sure what you have done, or where you are at I am afraid. When you say you have already chrooted into the os you use... I don't know what that means. I do not know what you are doing exactly in live boot. Have you bound /dev to the /mountpount/dev ?
[08:07] <cirustus> hi guys can anyone help me with a fingerprint reader problem
[08:07] <blackshirt> bakshi, okey ..what the result?
[08:07] <bakshi> same..not solve
[08:07] <bakshi> resolv.conf not located it mean dns is installed?
[08:08] <dassie> L3top, I'm not sure what that means, that is to "bind /dev" to something. could you elaborate please?
[08:09] <L3top> dassie: sudo mount -o bind /dev /mountpoint/dev                where mountpoint is where you mounted it.
[08:09] <RandNum> if I go into "rescue mode" from the liveCD(usb) there is an option that says "Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk" but when I select it, it asks me how I want to partition my drive. I've ALREADY partitioned it. i just need it to load.
[08:09] <dassie> L3top, this would be entered in the liveusb ?
[08:10] <dassie> Btw, before I meant I was chrooting into the partition that holds the ubuntu installation that i want to use
[08:10] <Odiumx> It is not the case that ubuntu depends on windows, however I wonder how to format and partition a new drive with ubuntu, so that I can carry out the install without need MSW ?
[08:10] <L3top> dassie: this is what I was saying... I don't know where in the process you are. If you have MOUNTED and CHROOTED then THERE
[08:10] <cirustus> can anyone help please
[08:10] <Dekline> how i fix my wine so my audio in spotify doesnt sound like a bad radio station??
[08:10] <L3top> Odiumx: did you check your bios sata mode?
[08:11] <Odiumx> I haven't, no.
[08:11] <Odiumx> I've used the windows installer to parttion my drive, and am hoping that will have some effect on the ubuntu install.
[08:12] <RandNum> Your ubuntu installer will recognize the widnows install and ask if youw ant to install ubuntu along with windows
[08:12] <Odiumx> I haven't installed windows
[08:12] <Odiumx> it's a fresh drive
[08:12] <Odiumx> i bought it an hour ago
[08:12] <Odiumx> never been used
[08:12] <L3top> Odiumx: due to various reasons, usually the bios sets this mode to acpi, and this can cause issues that setting it to ide mode  fixes.
[08:12] <FloodBot1> Odiumx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:12] <cirustus> does anyone have any experience with fingerprint readers
[08:12] <vendetta_returns> anyone here running backtrack?
[08:13] <L3top> !backtrack | vendetta_returns
[08:13]  * L3top needs a smoke... bb in 5
[08:13] <vendetta_returns> I have experince with fingerprints readers
[08:13] <Odiumx> L3top - I doubt my bios has changed, as it's a replacement for a recently failed drive.
[08:14] <cirustus> vendetta_returns, i have a hp dv6-6023 but i can get the fingerprint reader to work
[08:14] <vendetta_returns> Cirustus: What's your o/s?
[08:14] <RandNum> What problem are you having now Odiumx?
[08:14] <cirustus> vendetta_returns, ubuntu 12.04
[08:14] <Odiumx> I'm unable to install ubuntu.
[08:14] <Odiumx> I get stuck at the 'installation types' screen, it's simply empty.
[08:15] <vendetta_returns> Cirustus: I'm a Newbie To lunix sorry... But if it was windows another story
[08:15] <cirustus> vendetta_returns, i tried installing fingerprint-gui but i cant detect the reader
[08:15] <cirustus> vendetta_returns, works fine in windows :)
[08:15] <Guest78198> Hi, I am having trouble installing ubuntu 12.04 on a partition of my new ssd disk, it shows me a message that I have a faulty harddisk, has this something to do with ssd?
[08:16] <RandNum> Odiumx I'm experiencing problems and resolutions involving ubuntu installation and partitions. However, I'm not familiar with the "instalation type" screen. I'm using the alternate isntall
[08:16] <Guest78198> As you see my nickname, I am now in the guest session after the failed installation so running form live usb now
[08:16] <cirustus> type /nick to change your nickname
[08:16] <Odiumx> Aah, i see.
[08:17] <BWorld> thanks cirustus
[08:17] <RandNum> I just finished installing windows and ubuntu, but my grub installer isn't installed properly it's not just installing into windows
[08:17] <cirustus> BWorld, no probs, as for installing on a ssd im not too sure how to solve that never used one
[08:17] <BWorld> hmm..
[08:18] <BWorld> Maybe someone else has experience with this ?
[08:18] <cirustus> RandNum, does he grub loader show up?
[08:18] <RandNum> no, only when I boot into rescue mode from the CD do I see the ext4 and swap partitions
[08:18] <RandNum> the only boot parition is MBR ntfs for windows
[08:19] <RandNum> I'm not sure if I should manually create a new partion for EFIboot, or biosgrub, or try to isntall it some other way
[08:19] <help1111> if i have a main partitino then swap file parition then a freee space partition. how can i move the swap partition to the end ?
[08:19] <RandNum> free space isn't numbered like swap
[08:20] <help1111> i created it right now
[08:20] <help1111> i need to resize the main parition for ubuntu
[08:20] <help1111> but swap parition in the middle
[08:20] <help1111> and the new created free space is after the swap parition
[08:20] <cirustus> RandNum, gimmie a sec looking for the web page that will help
[08:21] <L3top> help1111: you should have just run the installer with the full windows drive. It would have done all of this for you.
[08:21] <RandNum> or maybe I can use the windows MBR to somehow boot into ubuntu as an option...
[08:21] <RandNum> I'm so close to getting this to work
[08:21] <cirustus> RandNum, try this page it should help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[08:21] <RandNum> k, thanks
[08:21] <cirustus> RandNum, no probs
[08:22] <help1111> l3top ubuntu is 2 years old .. i can not redo everything again
[08:22] <help1111> too much work
[08:22] <help1111> i need extra space only
[08:22] <L3top> RandNum: yes... grub installs there, and gives you the option to boot into windows or ubuntu... not in a partition, but on the drive assignment... ie /dev/sda     not /dev/sda2 etc
[08:23] <cirustus> can anyone help me with my fingerprint reader prob in ubuntu 12.04
[08:23] <RandNum> liveCD option doesn't allow me to install the grub installer manually for some reason
[08:23] <RandNum> I click that option and it just asked me to partion the drive again
[08:23] <L3top> help1111: I misunderstood.
[08:23] <cirustus> RandNum, do it via terminal
[08:23] <RandNum> i tried selecting just the /dev/sda (that represents the entire drive) but that was to actually reformatt and partition the drive so i said no.
[08:24] <RandNum> k, I'll read this article hopefully I can do it from the terminal like yous suggest brb
[08:24] <cirustus> RandNum, do the 2nd option from live cd worked for me
[08:25] <RandNum> I have other issues with the live CD...I'm actually technically not in the main LiveCD menu options I'm using the Alternative LiveCD text based only options which are a little different. The first screen is basically a grub menu/shell with an option to install or rescue. from there I get some text based options.   anyway I'll read this article and be back
[08:26] <cirustus> RandNum, no probs never done the alternate myself so cant help there
[08:31] <lolcat> Why on earth would anyone want to use unity?
[08:31] <RandNum> no one does :P
[08:31] <RandNum> Gnome!
[08:31] <atheer> hi
[08:31] <RandNum> or KDE
[08:32] <lolcat> Gnome is almost perfect, having unity on a desktop is about as efficent as using the android layout on a desktop
[08:32] <L3top> !ot | lolcat
[08:32] <RandNum> but it's nice until you can isntall gnome
[08:32] <atheer> any one can help me
[08:33] <RandNum> what's your question atheer
[08:33] <lolcat> atheer: thanks for the offer but the mind readers are on strike, so you do have to state your question.
[08:34] <cirustus> so can anyone help me with my fingerprint reader problem?
[08:34] <RandNum> I don't remember the question cirustus
[08:34] <atheer> i dont now how can i use chat with my frined in yahoo mass....
[08:35] <cirustus> RandNum, im trying to get the fingerprint reader working on a hp dv6-6023 but with no luck
[08:35] <RandNum> did the drivers install ok?
[08:35] <L3top> atheer: Probably pidgin.
[08:36] <cirustus> RandNum, not that i see and i cant seem to find any for it atm
[08:36] <RandNum> hmm, have you tried aptitude?
[08:37] <cirustus> RandNum, im guissing thats a program to install
[08:37] <cirustus> *guessing
[08:37] <RandNum> yea, it helped me find obscure library files once
[08:37] <RandNum> sudo apt-get aptitude?
[08:38] <cirustus> RandNum, ok ill give it a try and get back to you
[08:38] <L3top> why would you need aptitude?
[08:38] <RandNum> you don't NEED it
[08:38] <RandNum> I found it helpful just because it's gui is intuitive.
[08:40] <meisth0th> hello
[08:40] <RandNum> l3top youd don't happen to know of a way to install the grub boot loader from terminal do you?
[08:40] <meisth0th> how can i obtain source package of a ppa?
[08:41] <RandNum> I'm in a "try ubuntu" session now witha  terminal
[08:42] <L3top> cirustus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=760018
[08:42] <cirustus> L3top, ill look at that now
[08:42] <L3top> RandNum: what partition is your ubuntu install on?
[08:43] <cirustus> L3top, i tried that it couldnt find the device so im now trying to find the drivers
[08:43] <RandNum>  dev.sda6
[08:43] <RandNum> oh
[08:43] <RandNum> here's something  dev.sdb1 is Device Boot
[08:44] <L3top> cirustus: sudo apt-get fprint-demo
[08:44] <RandNum> but I ahve 6 partitions of sda and this lone sdb1 out here that no one can find
[08:44] <cirustus> L3top, already did and still no luck
[08:44] <RandNum> the first 2 are windows the sda3 is extended, sda5 is swap and sda6 is /
[08:45] <Ashtray777> ?
[08:45] <L3top> one moment RandNum.
[08:45] <cirustus> L3top, this is a recently new laptop came out this year so im guessing drivers havnt been made for it just of yet
[08:45] <L3top> cirustus: well it is on the unsupported list http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fprint/libfprint/Unsupported devices
[08:46] <L3top> I just saw some people got theirs working there.
[08:47] <ackbahr> Hi! I'm looking for a software to test audio CDs for skipping errors and such without having to listen to all of them. Could someone help?
[08:47] <RandNum> you know I could probably use the graphical installer to help me with this. It asks you where you want to install the boot loader.
[08:48] <L3top> RandNum: sudo -s
[08:49] <L3top> RandNum: mount /dev/sda6 mnt; mount -o bind /dev mnt/dev; mount none -t devpts mnt/dev/pts; mount none -t sysfs mnt/sys
[08:49] <cirustus> well i know if i ever want a laptop with fingerprint reader ill get a thinkpad as they seem to work well
[08:49] <L3top> RandNum: chroot /mnt
[08:49] <Corey> cirustus: Yeah, I'd not run Linux on a laptop that wasn't a Thinkpad.
[08:50] <cirustus> Corey, atm im currently using a toshiba satellite but it has no reader so im all good with that
[08:50] <L3top> RandNum: grub-install /dev/sda; update-grub
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> Corey: runs 100% ootb on my dell D620
[08:50] <RandNum> mount /dev/sda6 mnt;  "mount point mnt does not exist"
[08:50] <ackbahr> Ah, found out about qpxtool.... Sorry folks, see you all!
[08:50] <cirustus> ActionParsnip, i finally got my tripple boot working
[08:50] <L3top> grrr
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> RandNum: change mnt for /mnt
[08:51] <L3top> sorry that ^
[08:51] <saint__> How do I add something to the PATH variable?
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> cirustus: nice, was it updates?
[08:51] <Corey> ActionParsnip: Isn't the D620 five years old or more?
[08:51] <beberon> !list
[08:51] <cirustus> ActionParsnip, no i reinstalled 2008 as it lost the boot laoder the did grub boot recovery afterwrds and it all shows up now
[08:51] <RandNum> I think you mean /mnt
[08:51] <ActionParsnip> saint__: in ~/.bashrc  add a line:  PATH=$PATH:/new/folder/added
[08:51] <RandNum> k, trying this thanks l3top!
[08:51] <saint__> How do I add something to the PATH variable?
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> Corey: maybe, still works though..
[08:52] <beberon> !list
[08:52] <Corey> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I made the mistake of buying a Thinkpad as soon as the new model came out.  Took six months to get hardware support across the board.
[08:52] <Corey> beberon: Not that kind of channel or network.
[08:52] <ActionParsnip> Corey: thinkpads are solid systems though
[08:53] <ActionParsnip> cirustus: nice
[08:53] <Corey> ActionParsnip: Indeed.  Though I do have a fondness for my Macbook Air.
[08:53] <[Trident]sammy> CryptoHelper in python comes under which module?
[08:53] <cirustus> ActionParsnip, took a lot of playing around but i got it all working in the end was frustrating at points though
[08:54] <bioman> hello
[08:54] <cirustus> hi
[08:54] <L3top> sorry for the missing mounts RandNum. Did a bad sed.
[08:54] <bioman> I'm an ubuntu noob. I've managed to disable unity (12.04). Now I'd like to have compiz-fusion effects. Could you help me please ?
[08:54] <L3top> missing /mnt I mean RandNum
[08:55] <RandNum> I think it's working L3top :)
[08:55] <ActionParsnip> Corey: i'd buy something that was similar in speed to the macbook and save a whole heap of cash
[08:55] <L3top> bioman... how did you "disable" unity?
[08:55] <RandNum> finished updating grub :)
[08:55] <RandNum> scared to test it haha
[08:56] <L3top> RandNum: give it a reboot
[08:56] <bioman> L3top: I've found on Internet
[08:56] <L3top> That is not an answer bioman
[08:57] <RandNum> sigh, it went straight into windows again.
[08:57] <RandNum> I felt like that was going to work too
[08:57] <cirustus> bioman, did you follow this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager
[08:57] <bioman> L3top: http://www.hypnoz.net/informatique/ubuntu-12-04-desactiver-unity-et-utiliser-gnome/
[08:58] <R3pLiCa> any hackers over here -.- !
[08:59] <RandNum> how do you even get a terminal in unity
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> RandNum: press CTRL+ALT+T
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> RandNum: if you use terminal a lot, I can recommend Guake
[08:59] <L3top> RandNum: can you please get me an output of sudo fdisk -l  in pastebin?
[09:00] <RandNum> yes sec
[09:00] <L3top> R3pLiCa: almost any user is a hacker... but... what are you going for?
[09:01] <RandNum> pastebin.com/DgpArKT9
[09:01] <lotuspsychje> l3top: nice explaining :p
[09:01] <RandNum> http://pastebin.com/DgpArKT9
[09:02] <L3top> RandNum: That really should have worked.
[09:03] <bioman> cirustus: thank you. it says install ccsm, but apt-get install ccsm says package not found
[09:03] <lotuspsychje> !info ccsm
[09:03] <RandNum> I might just try installing Ubuntu first
[09:03] <RandNum> and using its loader
[09:03] <lotuspsychje> !info compiz-configuration-tool
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> !info compizconfig-settings-manager | lotuspsychje
[09:04] <RandNum> although...then I'll have the problem of Ubuntu forcing the GPT partition schema on Windows and then it will cry...
[09:04] <lotuspsychje> yeah that1 lol
[09:04] <akssps011_> Hi, how can I set this permission on a file: rwsr-xr-x ?
[09:04] <cirustus> bioman, not sure about it then as ive never changed my manager
[09:05] <L3top> RandNum: that will guarantee you are back in the same position.
[09:05] <L3top> RandNum: once you install windows that is...
[09:05] <RandNum> yeah, this is the closest I've been to dual boot. I think installing windows first is best
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> akssps011_: chmod 755 file
[09:06] <RandNum> is there a pastebin for images (screenshots) ?
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> akssps011_: r = 4, w = 2, x = 1   then add together the access you want, so r-x = 4+1 = 5
[09:07] <ActionParsnip> RandNum: imageshack

[09:10] <mithun> hi all, just now installed  ubuntu 12.04 on a machine with NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2).
[09:10] <L3top> cirustus: I like lspci -nnk | grep VGA -a2         faster... just the facts.
[09:10] <cirustus> ActionParsnip, well there is my problem i have dual graphics cards but can only get drivers for one of them :/
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> cirustus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics   its a masive headache in Linux
[09:11] <akssps011_> ActionParsnip: I tried chmod 777 and then chmod +s but it changes to rws r-s r-x
[09:11] <mithun> the proprietary driver installed and now i am not able to access unity. i can access unity 2d
[09:11] <akssps011_> ActionParsnip: but I don't want that second s
[09:11] <RandNum> So what's odd is that even after I elect to reinstall all of ubuntu it still doesn't properly install the boot loader...what could it be
[09:11] <RandNum> I need to sleep though :S
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> akssps011_: look into:  man chmod
[09:11] <lotuspsychje> mithun: you might wanna try lubuntu-desktop
[09:11] <ripthejacker> please help the software centre cannot connect to internet
[09:11] <L3top> mithun: Can I please get lspci -nn | grep VGA
[09:12] <ripthejacker> even though i am connected to internet
[09:12] <mithun> L3top, 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] [10de:03d0] (rev a2)
[09:13] <mithun> lotuspsychje, why lubuntu? i want to use unity.
[09:13] <cirustus> ActionParsnip, yeah ive guessed i have intel and nvidia but intel takes the lead on it all lol
[09:13] <aldaren> How can i add ext4 support to initrdramfs?
[09:13] <RandNum> I wonder if I need an EFIboot partition
[09:14] <lotuspsychje> mithun: in my opnion unity2d doesnt run very smooth on a system that cant run unity properly
[09:14] <bioman> cirustus: I've followed the link. ccsm is set. But when I launch compiz --replace (Alt F2) no compiz effects :(
[09:14] <mithun> lotuspsychje, i am using unity2d just beacuse the other one stopped working when installed nvidia restricted drivers
[09:15] <cirustus> bioman, again i havnt used it myself personally but i will look at it in amin for you and see if i can find a solution
[09:15] <tgary> Hi! I try to plug-in a TP-Link wireless adapter, and issued modprobe rt2800usb, but nothing happens. I think the usb subsystem doesn't recognise, as no such info in the log. How can I bring up this device as wlan0?
[09:15] <lotuspsychje> mithun: if your card can handle unity, did you try nvidia-current<?
[09:15] <L3top> mithun: apt-cache policy nvidia-current | grep stall
[09:16] <L3top> that should be what the "restricted drivers" option installs lotuspsychje
[09:16] <bioman> cirustus: I thank you in advance :)
[09:16] <L3top> and his card should handle it
[09:16] <mithun> L3top,   Installed: 295.40-0ubuntu1
[09:16] <cirustus> ActionParsnip, i dont even have switcheroo on this lappy :/
[09:16] <ManDay> Hello.
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> cirustus: if you want gaming, i'd go nvidia all the time :)
[09:17] <RandNum> l3top do you ahve a link to where you got that remount grub.cfx from?  :/
[09:17] <werxxx> さ
[09:17] <ManDay> Could anyone be so kind and check which file format the "onboard" ubuntu keyboard uses for describing its keyboard layout?
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> cirustus: that link is all I know, I've see too many issues with dual GPU nonesense and will be avoiding it like the plague
[09:17] <cirustus> ActionParsnip, i know i prefer it but it even uses intel in windows and i cant change it in bios even :/
[09:17] <ManDay> Is there any such configuration file, at all?
[09:18] <L3top> no RandNum. It is part of my snapshot maker on my machine. Like I said, I just did a sed to make it more suited to your needs
[09:18] <cirustus> ActionParsnip, im starting to regret getting this lappy now
[09:18] <bioman> I've installed vls (12.04). Can't play a DVD :(
[09:18] <bioman> I mean vlc
[09:18] <L3top> !dvd | bioman
[09:19] <lotuspsychje> bioman: you getting an error?
[09:19] <ManDay> Is there any file format which stores keyboard layouts?
[09:19] <mithun> L3top, any help for me
[09:19] <ripthejacker> please someone help me
[09:19] <cirustus> bioman, what os are you using
[09:19] <L3top> I am thinking mithun.
[09:19] <lotuspsychje> !ask | ripthejacker
[09:20] <mithun> L3top, thank you
[09:20] <ripthejacker> i asked but no one replied
[09:20] <ripthejacker> please help the software centre cannot connect to internet
[09:20] <mithun> L3top, but i wonder why there are no other nvidia users out there in this channel to help
[09:20] <ripthejacker> even though i am connected to internet
[09:20] <lotuspsychje> ripthejacker:any errors in /var/log?
[09:21] <L3top> I am pretty strong with graphics detection/utilization. Your pciid should have no problem doing this... so I am looking for what could interfere.
[09:21] <ripthejacker> lotuspsychje, what error should i be looking for?
[09:21] <L3top> in my head movie...
[09:21] <L3top> brb smoke
[09:22] <SteveRyherd> I have a silly question... I'm not sure if here's the right place.  If I ssh to my server I can run the command "SASS" just fine; which is in "/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin" -- But my Apache/WSGI/Django server doesn't see it.
[09:22] <ripthejacker> !patience
[09:22] <lotuspsychje> ripthejacker:anything related to software centre, or trying to install
[09:22] <SteveRyherd> I get the error /bin/sh: sass: not found
[09:22] <L3top> To be clear mithun... you have rebooted since this was installed right?
[09:22] <mithun> L3top, yes i have rebooted
[09:22] <SteveRyherd> Although through ssh I can see it fine -- and I've added ``export PATH=$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin`` to my .bash_rc
[09:23] <NSAgent> SteveRyherd: To *your* bashrc, not apache's
[09:23] <ripthejacker> lotuspsychje, not specific to software center
[09:23] <platius> ripthejacker>  the source server you have chosen maybe down at the moment
[09:24] <ripthejacker> no
[09:24] <SteveRyherd> NSAgent, Would it be smarter to add it to Apache's .bash_rc then, or make a link to a different bin?
[09:24] <lotuspsychje> ripthejacker: maybe this can help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/100057/ubuntu-software-center-not-working-check-your-internet-connection
[09:24] <ripthejacker> platius, actually i am not using the system method to connect to internet. I am using another package rp-pppoe
[09:25] <NSAgent> SteveRyherd: I don't know that apache uses bash. Try adding it to /etc/profile instead
[09:25] <ripthejacker> platius, so even the network manager thinks i'm not connected to internnet
[09:25] <ripthejacker> *internet
[09:26] <lotuspsychje> mithun:pastebin xorg.0.log would be very handy
[09:26] <melodie_> hi
[09:27] <mithun> lotuspsychje, hey i dont think there is so much to troubleshoot. this is definitely a common problem for nvidia users out there
[09:27] <mithun> lotuspsychje, the same problem people are facing since when nouveau was introduced to linux kernel
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: if you run:  sudo apt-get update      does it run ok?
[09:30] <bioman> Using 12.04 without unity. Cannot run compiz. Please help
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> bioman: what video chip do you use?
[09:32] <cirustus> bioman, im not sure then as the instructions are whiole still using unity
[09:33] <melodie_> bioman, to know what GPU you use, you may type in a console "lspci | grep Video"
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> bioman: or:  sudo lshw -C display
[09:33] <melodie_> hi cirustus : what would prevent anyone from running Compiz in Precise ?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> melodie_: no 3D accelleration
[09:34] <melodie_> it might have to be chosen at the login screen : is that the idea ?
[09:34] <melodie_> ActionParsnip, sure, then maybe it is necessary to install the latest mesa packages available
[09:35] <olivier> Bonjour je n'arrive pas a installer quake comment faire?
[09:35] <melodie_> some chips work well with all mesa family (no need of the devel packages or testing package of course, but the rest has helped some people)
[09:35] <melodie_> olivier, vas sur #ubuntu-fr
[09:35] <bioman> melodie_: NVidia GT555M
[09:35] <bhavesh> hey how do I paste into putty? I cannot with ctrl V or right click or MMB or RMB or ctrl + insert + insert
[09:35] <melodie_> bioman, have you installed the nvidia driver from the Synaptic package manager ?
[09:36] <melodie_> bhavesh, have you tried Ctrl+Shift+v ?
[09:36] <bhavesh> melodie_, does not work
[09:36] <melodie_> bhavesh, what is your console ?
[09:37] <bakshi> ttnux i am ere
[09:37] <bhavesh> melodie_, how do u mean what is my console?
[09:37] <bioman> melodie_: no... think I'm using nouveau
[09:37] <melodie_> gnome-terminal, or lxterminal, or else ?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> bioman: did you install the nvidia-current package
[09:37] <melodie_> bioman, try nvidia
[09:37] <bhavesh> melodie_, its PuTTY's own console
[09:37] <melodie_> just install it, reboot, remove nouveau, reboot, this kind of method may be ok
[09:37] <bioman> ActionParsnip: I'd like to keep nouveau, and make it work
[09:38] <melodie_> bhavesh, could you try something else than putty ? what is the aim ? remote control ?
[09:38] <bhavesh> melodie_, yes
[09:38] <bakshi> tnux are you there
[09:38] <bhavesh> melodie_, controlling a VPS
[09:38] <melodie_> can't you ssh the remote machine ?
[09:38] <bhavesh> can I do that with my ubuntu terminal?
[09:38] <Yoshi2889> Hi all, me again
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> bioman: not sure if compiz likes nouveau
[09:39] <bhavesh> ill google it
[09:39] <melodie_> bhavesh, perhaps, you might need to give it a try to see what
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> bhavesh: remote control to achieve what?
[09:39] <melodie_> bhavesh, just try :
[09:39] <Yoshi2889> I'm having a problem with Ubuntu where the sound keeps popping
[09:39] <bhavesh> ActionParsnip, control a VPS
[09:39] <melodie_> ssh login-name@ip-of-the-remote-machine
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> bhavesh: won't you be using a terminal anyway?
[09:40] <melodie_> Yoshi2889, how many sound cards does this machine have ?
[09:40] <bhavesh> I did not know that it even works with a terminal..
[09:40] <Yoshi2889> melodie_: It has build-in speakers
[09:40] <Yoshi2889> it's a laptop
[09:40] <melodie_> bhavesh, I think the putty window is a terminal, so...
[09:41] <melodie_> Yoshi2889, what kind of sound pops up ?
[09:41] <melodie_> sort of notifications ?
[09:41] <Yoshi2889> melodie_: Just a pop, no sound really but a pop
[09:41] <bioman> ActionParsnip: :(
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> bhavesh: if you are just going to open a terminal on the remote desktop, why not just use an ssh client and connect that way, much less bandwidth :)
[09:41] <bioman> ActionParsnip: so please how-to install NVidia proprio drivers ?
[09:41] <bhavesh> ActionParsnip, Im trying that
[09:42] <bhavesh> :)
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> bioman: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[09:42] <melodie_> Yoshi2889, 2 possibiilities : blacklist pcsp and pcspkr in the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist file
[09:42] <melodie_> the other one find in the gnome-control-center a gui where you can set up the notifications to "no sound"
[09:42] <bioman> ActionParsnip: thank you very much
[09:42] <melodie_> either or may work
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> bioman: np dude
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> melodie_: blacklist.conf ;)   all the files in the modprobe.d must end in .conf (no idea why)
[09:43] <bhavesh> melodie_, PuTTY uses its own terminal, which is on the right: http://i.imgur.com/NwrM5.png
[09:43] <bhavesh> and my ubuntu terminal is on the left
[09:43] <Yoshi2889> Sorry my machine locked up
[09:44] <bioman> ActionParsnip: might you know which version of NVidia driver it installs ?
[09:44] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, yes apt-get update working fine.
[09:44] <ActionParsnip> !info nvidia-current | bioman
[09:44] <Yoshi2889> melodie_: Weird, it stopped now
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: any warnings? do you use a proxy for web access?
[09:45] <Yoshi2889> Anyhow, ActionParsnip, glad that you mention the NVIDIA driver
[09:45] <bhavesh> melodie_, ActionParsnip: YAY ty, I can now use my VPS with my terminal :D
[09:45] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, no
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> bhavesh: sweet, much quicker too, and secure :)
[09:45] <ripthejacker> and no proxy direct connection
[09:45] <melodie_> ok, all too verbose for me here, I leave you and wish all a nice sunday
[09:45] <melodie_> bye
[09:45] <bhavesh> and I can copy paste
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: ok, run:  sudo apt-get upgrade     to get full updates
[09:46] <Yoshi2889> I have a GeForce 560 Ti, but when I try to load up the Live CD (or live USB in my case) my screen keeps flashing and UBuntu doesn't seem to recognize my full screen resolution
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> Yoshi2889: use the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1
[09:46] <ripthejacker> upgrade wont upgrade ubuntu 11.1 to 12, will it ?
[09:46] <Yoshi2889> ActionParsnip: Thanks, how can I add that option?
[09:47] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | Yoshi2889
[09:47] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, upgrade wont upgrade ubuntu 11.1 to 12, will it ?
[09:48] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: no, changing to the next release is a whole different lot of commands
[09:49] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, yes, done,  actually i updated just an hour ago ,so no new updates
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: try:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install software-center
[09:50] <bhavesh> will the DNS changer malware affect my ubuntu?
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> bhavesh: not heard of that
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> bhavesh: seems to be mac and windows only
[09:51] <cirustus> ok i made a mistake installing bubmblebee is its removed my nvida graphics card
[09:51] <bhavesh> :)
[09:52] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, yes did but still no good
[09:52] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, i think the problem is with network manager
[09:52] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, it does not think i am online
[09:53] <Yoshi2889> Thanks ActionParsnip, and ubottu of course :P, I will try that somewhere later today :)
[09:53] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: i've seen issues with network manager / software centre. Could try synaptic I guess
[09:54] <wubino> Any tips availabel on hooking up to a projector via hdmi?  I tried but could not look at the projected image at the same time as the laptop image.
[09:54] <wubino> Other than that it worked great.
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> wubino: what laptop?
[09:54] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, i can use synaptic but i though i could use better gui :P
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: 'better' is subjective :)
[09:55] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, well then for the reason they put software center.
[09:55] <bakshi> i solv my dns problem now i am having a error
[09:56] <bakshi> initscript resolvconf job :failed to start
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: try:  echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: then close and reopen software cnetre
[09:56] <bakshi> help me for this eeor
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> bakshi: what makes the error occur?
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> bakshi: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[09:58] <bhavesh> ActionParsnip, how do I close connection with vps without closing terminal?
[09:58] <bakshi> when i am install package it said error
[09:58] <wubino> ActionParsnip: Samsung QX NotePC QX411
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> bhavesh: if you want the apps you run to keep running after you leave, you can look into screen
[09:58] <bakshi> out put is precise
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> wubino: why was that not in your initial question?
[09:59] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, can you please tell me what that command does?
[09:59] <bhavesh> I am talking about logging out of ssh
[09:59] <bakshi> this is whol eeror
[09:59] <bakshi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1080922/
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: changes your DNS to google's public DNS, may help. The file is generated at boot so a reboot will put it back how it was
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> bhavesh: same deal
[10:00] <ripthejacker> ActionParsnip, i dont think its a problem with dns.I think its a flaw within USC that it looks at network manager to determine the connection.
[10:01] <Zuhaitz> Hi, can someone help me? I need a very litle thing, please
[10:01] <ripthejacker> still i'll try that

[10:02] <ActionParsnip> ripthejacker: its worth exploring
