[00:00] <chu> L3top: He's been asking for a while :p
[00:00] <L3top> I saw description of symptoms, no questions... sorry if I missed it... coding.
[00:00] <todd_> `prixon: /boot can not be in an extended partition does that help?
[00:00] <spiritech> its not that i have anything against unty. i even have it installed on a laptop. though i feel a gnome only install of ubuntu might run better.
[00:01] <spiritech> or maybe not
[00:02] <xangua> spiritech: ubuntu already uses gnome desktop, unity is just a shell
[00:02] <spiritech> i suppose it would just be nice to have the choice like lubuntu uses and xubuntu users do.
[00:02] <xangua> !nounity | yes you have spiritech
[00:02] <`prixon> todd_, sorry, it doesn't help
[00:03] <L3top> how do I get to ubiquity from the screen that says boot:    Pressing enter or entering boot parameters and pressing enter joltik. Sorry I missed the question
[00:03] <spiritech> so having unity installed and not using it doesnt affect performance at all.
[00:03] <spiritech> ?
[00:04] <L3top> `prixon: yes.
[00:04] <IdleOne> spiritech: if it is not in use it wont use any resources
[00:04] <spiritech> ok.
[00:04] <spiritech> thats cool.
[00:04] <spiritech> :)
[00:04] <`prixon> L3top, yes?
[00:05] <`prixon> ohh
[00:05] <vespakoen> Hey guys, I've got ubuntu running on my macbook for quite some time, great os! The problem, I can't eject a CD
[00:05] <vespakoen> here is what i did + logs: http://pastie.org/3870980
[00:06] <L3top> `prixon: it was a yes or no question. "if I intend on creating a / filesystem partition and a home partition, do they both exist in an extended partition?"
[00:06] <vespakoen> Could this be because i am on gnome now ?
[00:06] <`prixon> and in it I choose either logical or primary for / ? what do i choose for /home?
[00:06] <spiritech> is there a tool for changing the colours of the menus etc. i am using the gnome-colour-chooser. and it is only affecting the application windows and not the file manager or cairo-dock menu's?
[00:06] <heikoheikoheiko> after accidentally deleting quite a large amount of (not important) data with "rm -r foo *" instead of "rm -r foo*", I'd like to alias rm to rm -i. when I do that in .bash_aliases, it works for my user but not with sudo. I tried putting it in /root/.bash_aliases, didn't work either.
[00:07] <`prixon> yes, I got you L3top . I got mixed up because of the previous answer todd gave me
[00:07] <L3top> logical
[00:07] <L3top> I saw that, but a tad late was cp pasting... no worries `prixon
[00:07] <spiritech> i know G-C-C is old. maybe there is an alternative?
[00:08] <`prixon> so /= primary (if possible, and if not then logical), and /home=logical. both living in an extended partition. correct?
[00:09] <spiritech> my cairo-dock menus are white with white text. i would like to be able to change this if possible.
[00:09] <spiritech> any suggestions?
[00:09] <L3top> yes `prixon
[00:09] <spiritech> maybe i will google it.
[00:10] <kantinito> try awn-manager spiritech
[00:10] <troulouliou_dev> hi is it possible to upgrade a ubuntu server from 11.10 to 12.04 from command line with a CD only ?
[00:10] <RossPaterson14> hi all, has anyone had a problem with Rhythmbox where you try and drag a song from the library to the iPod and it doesn't transfer, but also there are no errors?
[00:11] <jrib> troulouliou_dev: you mean without using the internet?
[00:11] <RossPaterson14> also, if you have ran into this problem, were you able to fix it?
[00:11] <RossPaterson14> cheers
[00:11] <troulouliou_dev> jrib, yes  do-release-upgrade worlks with the official 12.04 server cd ?
[00:11] <BranicYeti> I have an issue with Ubuntu not connecting to my wireless network. Is it possible that it doesn't like the security?
[00:11] <`prixon> oh, and one more thing. the swap partition is primary? logical??
[00:12] <L3top> `prixon: doesn't matter. often there is a swap option I believe... I haven't seen gparted in a while.
[00:12] <spiritech> kantinito i am using cairo-dock how is awn-manger going to help?
[00:13] <kantinito> maybe you'll see something :)
[00:13] <spiritech> hmmm
[00:13] <chu> troulouliou_dev: I imagine you'd have to redirect something in the sources.list (or whatever is used these days), but it should be possible.
[00:13] <jrib> troulouliou_dev: you should be able to use the cd but you still need the internet to grab packages that aren't on the cd
[00:14] <RossPaterson14> BranicYeti, is your comp. able to connect to your router at all?
[00:14] <spiritech> installing awn is just going to conflict with cairo-dock.
[00:14] <kantinito> you just have to close the cairo-dock
[00:14] <troulouliou_dev> jrib, yes , not a problem , i just need to upgrade 10 + servers with a small bandwith
[00:15] <spiritech> thats is not a solution to my problem.
[00:15] <troulouliou_dev> jrib, but what is the procedure ? insert the cd and do-release-upgrade , o ri have to tweak the source.list as said chu ?
[00:15] <spiritech> i like cairo-dock. i am pretty sure you can change the colour of the menus. just dont know how yet.
[00:16] <RossPaterson14> i dont suppose anyone has encountered anything similar to my problem that i posted before?
[00:16] <kantinito> try google , then
[00:16] <spiritech> yes google it is.
[00:16] <sfears> troulouliou_dev: do-release-upgrade will tweak your sources.list file for you
[00:17] <troulouliou_dev> sfears, and check if a cd is inserted befoore tweaking ?
[00:17] <sfears> i'm not sure about the cd part, it may... why do you ask?
[00:17] <mariocki> spiritech: try gnome-look.org and see if anyone has done a theme for cairo-dock that looks like what you are looking for
[00:18] <troulouliou_dev> sfears, want to  fetch the major part of the updates from the official cd
[00:18] <troulouliou_dev> sfears, server version
[00:18] <kantinito> Tip: try different themes, some are already very sober, like Dust-Sand or Elementary.
[00:19] <BranicYeti> apologies. i got disconnected. so does anyone know why my ubuntu wont connect to my wireless network?
[00:19] <Benxyzzy> I'm trying to set up an internal DNS server for my home network. I'm using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIND9ServerHowto as a guide with a fresh ubuntu server install. I've done everything in the 'primary master configuration' section up to (not including) reverse zones. I think I should be able to get to the sever via the name I set up by now but I can't not even pinging. Is there something else I need to do?
[00:19] <sfears> troulouliou_dev: ohh, disregard what I said, you're working on something different.
[00:19] <RossPaterson14> BranicYeti, does the pc connect to the router at all or does it drop out frequently?
[00:19] <`prixon> L3top, can I do all of the above without creating an extended partition where all the other partitions are in it?
[00:19] <troulouliou_dev> sfears, ok
[00:20] <L3top> no... they exist within the extended.
[00:20] <mkk> where's the skype system tray icon?
[00:20] <nickgaw> Hi, if I have the windows installed version of ubuntu and have the swap.disc and the main .disc files can any of these be used as virtual disk images threw virtualbox or qemu?
[00:21] <RossPaterson14> mkk, if there was one, shouldnt it be up top beside the messaging icon?
[00:21] <spiritech> its not really the theme thats the problem. i just cant figure out how to change the menu colours for the app menu and system tray menus.
[00:22] <mkk> RossPaterson14: it's not there. when i open a new one  and sign in, it says: there's another instance available. but i can't find it
[00:22] <BranicYeti> RossPaterson14: it wont even connect. i assume its something to do with the security. the key is correct but it acts as if it isnt
[00:22] <spiritech> i am pretty sure thers an option somewhere just cant find it.
[00:22] <syddraf> After doing a dist-upgrade to the new release, I am having a very strange problem. Whenever I click to drag a file in nautilus, the icon appears approximately 1 monitor width (1920x1080) away to the left on a different screen. The mouse cursor stays in the normal place, but the file icon is moved. When dragging into a program (such as VLC) the icon, not the cursor, must be over it to work, which causes some problems. Anyon
[00:22] <syddraf> e have any idea what's going on and how I could go about fixing it?
[00:22] <sfears> troulouliou_dev: if you put a # infront of all the lines except for ones that say deb cdrom: 12.04 it should only use the cd.
[00:24] <RossPaterson14> BranicYeti: Assuming that you have just a normal router, the encryption is likely to be either WEP or a WPA variant. It is possible that you have selected the wrong encryption. If you can find out what encryption method the router uses, make sure that it is the same one that you have selected on Ubunut
[00:25] <BranicYeti> RossPaterson14: i use wpa-2 and it automatically detected that. i double checked the settings and everything seems to be right in there
[00:25] <sausage2> Hi.   The K desktop environment. It's an alternative to Ubuntu
[00:26] <Floyd42> branicyeti: geez. sorry, Gnome, not Ubuntu
[00:27] <BranicYeti> sfears: bt
[00:27] <RossPaterson14> BranicYeti: Sorry! I have no idea what could be wrong... I havent done much networking for a while :(
[00:27] <BranicYeti> Floyd42: nope. im new to ubuntu. im a windows user usually
[00:27] <jacky> http://www.kde.org :P
[00:27] <sfears> BranicYeti: bt, bluetooth?
[00:27] <Floyd42> branicyeti: hmm ok. just wondering because KDE has a wallet manager that you need to configure before it connects to wireless networks without issues.
[00:27] <RossPaterson14> BranicYeti: just out of interest, does Windows connect ok?
[00:28] <Floyd42> branicyeti: can you go to /var/log and check the messages file to see what the error message is?
[00:28] <Dragons> yeah, but even then, there isn't issues connecting just remembering your encryption password
[00:29] <BranicYeti> Floyd42: your-message
[00:29] <sfears> Floyd42: KDE is not an alternative to Ubuntu.  It's an alternative Desktop Manager for Ubuntu
[00:29] <BranicYeti> that failed...
[00:29] <Floyd42> sfears: I know, it was a typo. See my next message after that.
[00:29] <jbwiv___> how does one set environment variables so that they affect programs in gnome-session (assuming unity still uses that?)
[00:30] <BranicYeti> i feel like a fool. i was checking the settings of the wrong router. thank you rosspatterson, you were correct. apologies everyone
[00:30] <quintopia> i'm in the middle of a ubuntu server upgrade. how do i find out how to answer to the "interfaces on which the dhcpv6 client sends messages" question. i have 2 IPs.
[00:30] <RossPaterson14> has anyone had iPod sync issues on Rhythmbox?
[00:31] <Floyd42> rosspaterson14: I've used it once to transfer music, but it took *ages*
[00:31] <sfears> RossPaterson14: try banshee
[00:32] <RossPaterson14> gtkpod and Amarok dont even recognise it
[00:32] <foolsh> jbwiv___: 'export VARIABLE_NAME=VARIABLE_VALUE'
[00:32] <Floyd42> I've noticed that Rhythmbox probably has the best ipod/iphone support
[00:32] <RossPaterson14> i dont really have high hopes for a new player
[00:32] <Floyd42> But obviously, I could only transfer music and nothing else. So, had to install Windows + iTunes.
[00:32] <RossPaterson14> im thinking it might be a backend/library problem
[00:32] <jbwiv___> foolsh, that works if you're in a terminal, but that won't export those variables to applications within gnome session. I found the answer though...it appears you have to put it in .gnomerc
[00:33] <xangua> RossPaterson14: it depends on the ubuntu version or iOS version you use, but normally when apple upgrades the firmware, the support breakes
[00:34] <RossPaterson14> its relatively old in terms of firmware, also my Classic and Shuffle exhibit the same problem
[00:34] <RossPaterson14> when I try and drag a song from the library to the device it doesnt sync, but doesnt report any errors
[00:34] <Steveo> What pieces of hardware do you need to know about to know if your computer can handle Ubuntu 12.04?  My system is 9 years old
[00:34] <Floyd42> My iPhone 3G still works fine with Rhythmbox (apart from the very slow transfer rates) ..
[00:35] <RossPaterson14> Steveo, RAM and CPU
[00:35] <Steveo> Thanks RossPaterson
[00:35] <RossPaterson14> i think its something like 300MHz on a Intel P3
[00:35] <RossPaterson14> and 128Mb of RAM
[00:35] <xangua> RossPaterson14: sounds like a Lubuntu candidate
[00:36] <scar3crow> I suspect my monitor irefresh rate is configured incorrectly... how do I tell/change ?
[00:36] <foolsh> Steveo: See it you can fit a Geforce 5200 or better video card in it, they do come in pci form.
[00:36] <quintopia> are venet0:0 and venet0:1 both parts of the same interface (venet0) or do i list them separately?
[00:37] <Steveo> My motherboard is an intel 845PE ATX 533FSB DDR333 USB2
[00:37] <RossPaterson14> Xangua: I was talking about the Ubuntu minimum spec, not my PC spec :P
[00:37] <Steveo> My cpu is a P4 2.53 ghz chip
[00:37] <Floyd42> steveo: RAM?
[00:38] <xangua> !requirements | RossPaterson14
[00:38] <Steveo> Floyd42, is there a command for me to find that out?
[00:38] <codingman_> geez...my computer is getting hot!
[00:38] <Floyd42> steveo: if you're on windows, right click on "my computer"
[00:38] <xangua> Steveo: see the ubbotu factoid above
[00:39] <Steveo> I'm on a livecd of XUbuntu 9.10 sitting on top of a hard drive with a failed installation of Ubuntu 12.04 on it.   I don't have much more than a command line
[00:40] <Steveo> I'm trying to figure out if I should bother trying again with 12.04
[00:40] <Floyd42> steveo: if it's a livecd, open the system-monitor
[00:41] <Floyd42> steveo: or open terminal, and type: "free -m"
[00:41] <Steveo> Im not familiar with Xubuntu, it is old on top of that, I can't find it
[00:41] <RossPaterson14> i have had some pretty bizarre issues on my desktop installation: at least once a day the session freezes and the mouse disappears, the output goes blank and reappears, this will keep happening until i hard restart...
[00:41] <RossPaterson14> compiz issue?
[00:42] <Floyd42> steveo: i'm sure you can open the terminal, right?  open it and type: "free -m"
[00:43] <Steveo> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ free -m

[00:43] <Floyd42> steveo: you have 1.5gb ram
[00:44] <Steveo> Is that enough for 12.04?
[00:44] <Floyd42> steveo: considering which, i think ubuntu 12.04 should easily run on your computer (it might not be super fast, but it should run)
[00:45] <Floyd42> brb
[00:45] <Steveo> Okay.  When I tried installing yesterday I got a message about an error installing a kernel module.  I was wondering if that was becuase my hardware is old and unsupported.
[00:45] <Steveo> Once I back up my data tomorrow I will give 12.04 one more shot
[00:45] <Steveo> Maybe with something less demanding than Unity, like Kubuntu
[00:46] <TeamRocket1233c> Hi!
[00:47] <Floyd42> steveo: Kubuntu will take as much, if not more memory than Unity. Try LXDE or XFCE.
[00:50] <xixor> yo, is there an ls++ package for ubuntu?  I've been using the google, and the package search, but haven't found anything
[00:52] <Logan_> xixor: It looks like you can just install it with the instructions on this page: https://github.com/trapd00r/ls--
[00:52] <gmachine_24> hi. I tried to install gparted in 11.04 (64bit) with CLI but received this message: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[00:52] <gmachine_24>  gparted : Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.6) but 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 is to be installed
[00:52] <gmachine_24> E: Broken packages
[00:53] <Logan_> gmachine_24: sudo apt-get install -f
[00:53] <rypervenche> gmachine_24: Using PPAs?
[00:53] <xixor> Logan_: ok, thanks bud
[00:53] <Logan_> xixor: No problem.
[00:54] <gmachine_24> rypervenche, I have a ppa in /etc/apt/sources.list but it is for musicbrainz
[00:55] <rypervenche> $20 says that's causing a problem. :)
[00:55] <gmachine_24> Logan_ is that sudo apt-get install -f gparted or without the gparted?
[00:55] <rypervenche> without
[00:55]  * L3top throws in 20 as well
[00:55] <Logan_> gmachine_24: Without the gparted.
[00:55] <gmachine_24> rypervenche, ok, I will try. BRB
[00:56] <`prixon> is there a way to configure nautilus to have all the buttons it had in previous editions?
[00:58] <Aliv3> y can't you make unity work
[00:58] <Aliv3> why is ubuntu a glitchy peice of work these days
[00:59] <sirriffsalot> Aliv3: what's the problem?:)
[00:59] <Aliv3> Unity is broken. 'fixed' it several times, keeps rebreaking
[00:59] <Aliv3> 12.04 looks stupid
[00:59] <rypervenche> Aliv3: Welcome to Ubuntu :)
[00:59] <Aliv3> rypervenche: ty kid
[01:00] <Aliv3> s/kid/person
[01:00] <rypervenche> Aliv3: If you don't like it, don't use it :P
[01:00] <Aliv3> i love it, just its not usable
[01:01] <resting> how do i add an entry to iptables to allow ftp at a different port?
[01:02] <gmachine_24> OK, the results are in: commenting out the ppas  changed nothing; however, I think went back to the repository list and commented out some other third-party sources and etc. and then gparted installed fine. Thank you for your assistance.
[01:03] <gmachine_24> no "I think"..... I went back to the repo list etc.
[01:04] <sirriffsalot> Aliv3: I recommend Xfce for those who prefer little trouble GUI-wise
[01:05] <sirriffsalot> Aliv3: GUI = Graphical User Interface
[01:20] <foolsh> resting: Try out 'firestarter' it's a GUI  firewall configuration. It's user friendly and a huge headache remedy concerning iptables.
[01:20] <scar3crow> if I want to see the grub menu, startup in verbose mode and have no display manager start automatically... what do I do? (please)
[01:22] <Resistance> resting:  try using gufw first
[01:22] <iananananan> I've observed a LOT of errors in LiveCDs with actual CDs, but none with USBs. I usually write the CDs at 24x. Is it likely that I'm getting CD errors every time solely as a result of the write speed?

[01:32] <andre> hi
[01:32] <Guest86574> hi
[01:33] <resting> gufw doesnt work :( probably becoz i'm logged in remotely..
[01:33] <resting> guess no gui programs for me..
[01:39] <Patrick327> one of the largest channels ever!
[01:42] <cocolos> why do I get -> no CUDA-capable device is detected when I run ./deviceQuery but it works when I use sudo
[01:45] <foolsh> resting: You can do X11 forwarding via ssh, being remote should never stop you. See 'Forwarding GUI Programs' on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding
[01:47] <resting> foolsh: right..will look into that later..
[01:47] <resting> for now..i wan to confirm this statement is correct:
[01:47] <resting> sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 2122 -j ACCEPT
[01:47] <resting> this allows ftp connection at port 2122??

[01:53] <resting> how do i test if its working?
[01:54]  * foolsh wonders is there is a iptables parser for resting
[01:55] <nimbiotics> cas
[01:55] <Jordan_U> nimbiotics: What are you trying to change about grub? There are GUI configuration editors but I personally recommend simply configuring grub normally via /etc/default/grub.
[01:56] <foolsh> resting: You sound as if you want to jump right in to remote server administration, See     http://www.webmin.com           it's real handy for remote administration. and has native ubuntu packages
[01:56] <adante> hi
[01:57] <adante> i'm using the au.archive.ubuntu.com but when i try to upgrade it downloads 500 meg of packages and then fails because it can't find some
[01:57] <adante> are the au archives out of date? is this normal? what is the easiest way to resolve this?
[01:57] <resting> foolsh: actually i just need to change the port of the ftp server. as well as the ssh port if i can change the ftp in the first place
[01:58] <resting> i suspect its the iptables. coz if i flush it, i could use filezilla to connect
[01:58] <cocolos> how do I check if SELinux is enabled?
[01:59] <IntuitiveNipple> Adante: do a sudo apt-get update, then try again. That happens when the package lists are out of date
[01:59] <Jordan_U> cocolos: Ubuntu uses AppArmor, not SELinux.
[01:59] <adante> IntuitiveNipple: wow, the upgrade does not update beforehand?
[01:59] <cocolos> Jordan_U: Well I guess I don't have it but the reason is I am still having trouble with cuda
[02:00] <IntuitiveNipple> Adante: sometimes things can get out of sync if the archive is being refreshed

[02:07] <BlueClaw> Is there a good program for handling multiple desktop wallpapers on a multi-monitor system?
[02:08] <cocolos> hi
[02:08] <xangua> BlueClaw: if you use unity, compiz does
[02:08] <cocolos> what are the permissions of /dev/nvidia* supposed to be?
[02:09] <BlueClaw> xangua: compiz will not work in gnome classic?
[02:10] <Guest11135> I'll ask again... I can't get the battery icon at the top to show up. Ive tried setting it to turn on and searching for additional drivers but it still doesnt work. Someone suggestes I right click the panel and add it but when I right click nothing happens. Could someone help me?
[02:10] <xangua> BlueClaw: it does work on fallback mode, there is even an option to load it with efects in the login manager
[02:11] <xangua> Guest11135: did you set it to Always show¿
[02:11] <Guest11135> Yes.
[02:12] <cocolos> woot
[02:12] <cocolos> working!
[02:12] <xangua> Guest11135: if you do, you need to install Compiz Settings Manager and enable the Wallpaper plugin
[02:12] <foolsh> cocolos:   here is my   'ls -l /dev/nvidia0'    http://paste.ubuntu.com/972683/
[02:12] <ccc> hi

[02:14] <SarahsButt1> Sorry
[02:14] <mother> greetings
[02:14] <Guest11135> It says I already have it installed so Im assuming it came with the system. Though I cant find it in rush so Ill also assume its the system settings thing.
[02:14] <Guest11135> And I cant find anything to help on that.
[02:14] <mother> anyone installed Ubuntu on a Soekris net6501?
[02:15] <mother> trying to boot from USB, but keep hitting a wall on the graphics (via serial console)
[02:15] <BlueProtoman> Can anyone help me?  I'm trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04 from Ubuntu 11.10.  I'm using the Update Manager, and I get this error in the Setting new software channels stage; http://pastebin.com/uzQ9Btkx
[02:15] <ccc> SarahsButt1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too

[02:16] <BlueProtoman> Anybody?  I'm pressed for time here.
[02:17] <jonnykash> is there a way to log what is causing the following pop-up in Ubuntu Precise?: "System program problem detected" "Do you want to report the problem now?" Then when you go the reporter it tells you to look elsewhere for help because it's a final release.

[02:18] <ZEROMAN> HI THERE...
[02:19] <ZEROMAN> hi there....
[02:19] <wylde> BlueProtoman: if you have added any ppa's you probably need to disable them, then run 'sudo apt-get update'
[02:20] <BlueProtoman> wylde: Will try, thanks!
[02:20] <jonnykash> hi there zeroman
[02:20] <wylde> !ot | ZEROMAN
[02:22] <ZEROMAN> where ies the cchannel for kuestion bout iphone syncronization issues ???
[02:23] <psycho_oreos> ZEROMAN, maybe ##apple ?
[02:23] <BlueProtoman> wylde: Nope, doesn't help.
[02:23] <BlueProtoman> Still got the same error.
[02:23] <ZEROMAN> tnks
[02:24] <BlueProtoman> (Yes, I ran sudo apt-get update)
[02:24] <wylde> BlueProtoman: hmm...
[02:24] <BlueProtoman> Are there channels dedicated to particular Ubuntu versions?
[02:24] <opti> I've got a print server pc running ubuntu with a brother hl-2142 that was working up until recently, actually still working i suppose, but at some stage the the windows clients went from being able to print pdfs to not being able to print pdfs, however everything else works fine. Suggestions?
[02:25] <wylde> BlueProtoman: you're in the right place for all currently supported versions.
[02:25] <opti> pdfs print localy on the ubuntu machine also
[02:25] <BlueProtoman> wylde: I was just wondering if other channels existed specifically for Pangolin, Ocelot, etc.
[02:25] <c__> 0
[02:25] <BlueProtoman> If not, that's cool.
[02:25] <wylde> BlueProtoman: nope see /topic :)
[02:26] <adante> what do i run to restart the window manager?
[02:26] <BlueProtoman> I just want to get my upgrade going, because if not then I can't finish a school project!
[02:26] <adante> i clicked the top left button on unity and my screen flickered for about half an hour before dieing
[02:26] <wylde> ZEROMAN: you might find some info at http://askubuntu.com/search?q=syncronize+iphone
[02:26] <BlueProtoman> Any ideas on what might be causing my update issue?
[02:26] <adante> weird place to put a close button for window manager but yeh
[02:27] <Guest11135> I downloaded compiz configure thing. I know nothing about linex XD Now what if you even still here.
[02:27] <wylde> !ppa-purge | BlueProtoman this my possibly help.
[02:28] <wylde> BlueProtoman: beyond that 'sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update' is all I have to offer.
[02:29] <BlueProtoman> wylde: OK, but how am I supposed to know which PPAs to clean?  I've added a lot.
[02:29] <wylde> BlueProtoman: I see, that is very likely the issue then.
[02:30] <BlueProtoman> So I have to purge EVERY single one?
[02:30] <xubuntu> does anyone here know how to compile, extract and "install" tar.bz files onto your linux system?
[02:30] <wylde> BlueProtoman: ALL of them should be disabled when trying to upgrade.
[02:30] <timothy> i ss
[02:30] <BlueProtoman> wylde: I disabled them, but now I have to purge them?
[02:30] <Jordan_U> timothy: Generally, you shouldn't. What are you actually trying to install?
[02:30] <BlueProtoman> Also, is it worth upgrading to 12.04?
[02:30] <BlueProtoman> I hear of some people having issues with it, but...
[02:31] <wylde> BlueProtoman: that's a matter of opinion
[02:31] <woody_> join douglass
[02:31] <Jordan_U> BlueProtoman: Having a lot of PPAs is precisely the problem.
[02:32] <wylde> BlueProtoman: I've been using 12.04 since alpha, and since release I have had no major issues
[02:32] <BlueProtoman> Jordan_U wylde: I've disabled all of my PPAs, but I still can't upgrade.  I DID manage to upgrade TO 11.10 with all of these PPAs, though.
[02:32] <jorel> hey whats a good way to learn ubuntu_linux commands for a noob?
[02:32] <Jordan_U> BlueProtoman: And yes, just removing the ppa is *not* enough without also reverting/removing all of the packages which you installed from those PPAs.
[02:33] <Jordan_U> !manual | jorel
[02:33] <BlueProtoman> Jordan_U: So I have to go through and run ppa-purge on ALL of my PPAs?
[02:33] <Jordan_U> BlueProtoman: Yes.
[02:33] <BlueProtoman> There has to be a script I can use or something.
[02:33] <wylde> BlueProtoman: sudo apt-get clean MIGHT do it
[02:33] <BlueProtoman> wylde: Nope
[02:33] <jorel> @ubottu thanks for that
[02:33] <mongo> jorel: use them, and remember the man and apropos commads :)
[02:34] <BlueProtoman> Jordan_U: OK, so I know I can use bash to automate this whole mess, except that I don't know bash.  So how can I use it to go through my entire PPA list and purge everything for me?
[02:34] <jorel> so I show skimped out on using the software center and type everything
[02:34] <BlueProtoman> (Except the official software sources)
[02:36] <wylde> BlueProtoman: I don't know bash well enough for that, not sure but maybe the folks in #bash may help
[02:39] <ZEROMAN> some guideme to make a succes ipnone sync in rytmbox,gtkpod o similars ???
[02:42] <Xyles> hi
[02:42] <Xyles> I've got some questions regarding resizing of the partition. Is there anyone that can help me ? :S
[02:42] <Jordan_U> !anyone | Xyles
[02:43] <Xyles> ??
[02:44] <Sir_Fawnpug> Is there a good way to make unity a bit more lightweight?
[02:44] <Jordan_U> Xyles: Ask your actual question and if anyone can help they will.
[02:44]  * Meepsheep rustles all the jimmies
[02:44]  * Meepsheep rustles Jordan_U's jimmies
[02:45] <Jordan_U> !ot | Meepsheep
[02:45] <Xyles> Oh. Alright!
[02:45] <xangua> Sir_Fawnpug: use unity-2d
[02:45] <Meepsheep> !ops
[02:45]  * Meepsheep rustles all the jimmies
[02:45] <Sir_Fawnpug> xangua, I'll give that a try
[02:46] <Xyles> I recently decided to try ubuntu so I used the windows installer provided on the website. But initially I only gave it 20gb and now I wanted to give it more memory space. Is there any possible way to do this without reinstalling?
[02:46] <xangua> Xyles: with wubi there is not
[02:46] <Belial`> Xyles, wubi will only give you an extra 10gb over what you have.
[02:46] <Belial`> but you can't change it once you set the size.
[02:47] <xangua> also the max partition size with wubi is 30GB Xyles
[02:47] <Belial`> Xyles, if you've been using it for some time, i suggest you partition and run it along side windows.
[02:47] <ZEROMAN> does anyone knowns why its so hard sync iphone to rythmbox ??
[02:47] <Xyles> I see.
[02:48] <Xyles> I've been using it for several days. But I really like it lol.
[02:48] <Xyles> Which is why I decided to try and give it around 100gb
[02:49] <xangua> ZEROMAN: because apple doesn't like to play with others
[02:49] <nmatrix9> Hey guys!
[02:50] <Belial`> yeah, the newer versions of ios are hard to get working right in rhythmbox if at all.
[02:50] <wylde> !iphone | ZEROMAN
[02:50] <Jordan_U> Xyles: I highly recommend that you backup your files, remove the Wubi install, and install with a normal dual boot configuration.
[02:50] <Belial`> part of the reason i'm glad i switched to an android phone.
[02:50] <noobie25_> i'm having trouble finding iptables on ubuntu.  where do i go to open up ports?

[02:52] <NoobTux> does upgrading my kernel from 2.6.32-21 generic to 2.6.37 or .38 affects my programs? my drivers?
[02:53] <kk_> 这是个什么聊天工具？
[02:53] <wylde> !cn | kk
[02:54] <wylde> NoobTux: It can yes.
[02:55] <kk_> 高科技哟，用不明白
[02:55] <wylde> !kernel | NoobTux
[02:55] <NoobTux> wylde i've seeing this update nvidia drivers after upgrading kernel but i don't have nvidia with me so what's next? escape this process?
[02:56] <wylde> NoobTux: ummm what do you mean "i don't have nvidia with me"
[02:57] <NoobTux> my vcard ain't nvidia
[02:57] <wylde> NoobTux: is it prompting you to install nvidia drivers or you just see it passing during the update?
[02:57] <nmatrix9> Hey guys any good tutorials on setting up raid 10 I have 4 drives but it's showing up under only one device /dev/sdh anyone know that is?
[02:58] <NoobTux> nope didnt upgrade yet still reading stuffs just making sure i won't stumble on the way in upgrading my kernel so i'm asking here to clarify hehe
[03:00] <alankila> nmatrix9: what raid hardware do you have, maybe it's normal
[03:00] <wylde> NoobTux: I see, you're probably safe letting it go. If you don't need nvidia it won't be used.

[03:04] <mister_m> when I run aptitude it hangs on loading cache and my cpu goes to 100%
[03:05] <mister_m> what are the relevant logs I need to look at
[03:08] <nmatrix9> alanika it is software raid
[03:09] <paul_> hi all anyone there
[03:10] <nmatrix9> Just very weird I don't have sda only sdh
[03:10] <bbuilt> paul_ yes I am
[03:11] <kk_> Bye
[03:11] <alankila> nmatrix9: okay, sounds like a fakeraid then. You're probably best off disabling it from your BIOS which should release the 4 drives as separate entities and then use mdadm over it. Alternatively you can just go with the current solution if it seems that this single device already works and performs well.
[03:12] <mister_m> it apears that apt-get is unable to build package lists. it hangs at 0% and my CPU goes through the roof
[03:12] <alankila> I also would sort of expect that fakeraid or not, at least the device nodes for the drives would appear...
[03:13] <nmatrix9> ah damn you just reminded me your right,  I forgot all about that
[03:13] <mister_m> what would cause apt-get to hang at 0%? I suspect my hard drive is failing
[03:15] <ljsoftnet> hello people
[03:16] <frodo> Hi. During the net install it did not ask what root password I wanted to use? What is the root password by default?
[03:16] <alankila> frodo: no root account that can be logged in to
[03:17] <alankila> frodo: ubuntu went for sudo instead
[03:18] <frodo> What do you type if you need root access in order to install the program?
[03:18] <alankila> sudo
[03:18] <foolsh> frodo: 'sudo su' will get you to root
[03:18] <theraflu> I installed Ubuntu 12.04 but I can't get it to boot, just freezes with a disortid screen
[03:18] <rypervenche> I prefer "sudo su -"
[03:18] <theraflu> After grub
[03:19] <frodo> ty
[03:19] <jrib> !sudo | frodo
[03:19] <jrib> sudo -i instead of sudo su please
[03:20] <theraflu> !nomodeset
[03:21] <frodo> The system will only allow the first account created on the system to use sudo -su
[03:21] <iananananan> Open source drive wiper?
[03:24] <rypervenche> jrib: Why sudo -i over sudo su -?
[03:24] <jrib> rypervenche: that isn't as bad except it calls two programs when you can just call one instead
[03:25] <rypervenche> jrib: So it does exactly the same thing then?
[03:26] <jrib> rypervenche: it does not do the same thing afaik.  It may have the same effective result (but I also do not know this)
[03:27] <Sir_Fawnpug> What's a good WM for somebody whose not really into computers, in case she does not like Unity?
[03:27] <Sir_Fawnpug> I normally use fluxbox but I don't want to scare the pants off of her.
[03:27] <chu> KDE?
[03:27] <frodo> I like ubuntu
[03:28] <Sir_Fawnpug> KDE might be a good choice.
[03:28] <Sir_Fawnpug> Or maybe lxde?
[03:28] <chu> If the computer is capable, I'd go XFCE before LXDE.
[03:28] <chu> I'd do LXDE as last choice in this case.
[03:29] <chu> If you want *light* but a functioning desktop, go LXDE.
[03:29] <machiolate> anyone happen to know in html which websites are we generally able to link to without having to worry about any kind of infringement if any at all? (from a personal webpage)
[03:29] <Sir_Fawnpug> chu, the computer should be capable of doing xfce; it's a 1.8GHz sempron with 512 mb of RAM
[03:29] <machiolate> i.e. intellectual property or some trash like that
[03:29] <frodo> How can I disable the the sdb asking for cache data failed message?
[03:29] <Sir_Fawnpug> machiolate, that probably depends on your jurisdiction.
[03:29] <itaws> how to change grub ?
[03:29] <Sir_Fawnpug> machiolate, ##law might be a better place to ask that though.
[03:30] <chu> Sir_Fawnpug: That might just be too light to really run XFCE (or KDE, or Unity). You might want to go LXDE for a somewhat snappier computer.
[03:30] <machiolate> ok, thanks sir fawnpug
[03:32] <mikeliss> Anybody know how to dump the entire screen scrollback buffer to file?
[03:32] <mikeliss> Or how to determine the scrollback buffer length?
[03:33] <Sir_Fawnpug> chu, I haven't been keeping up with desktop environments so I'll need to see if xfce will work. Unity-2D is a bit sluggish right now.
[03:33] <frodo> What is the name of the base kde package?
[03:34] <quiescens> mikeliss: hardcopy
[03:34] <mikeliss> quiescens: I just tried that...looks like it only gave me the visible part of the scrollback buffer?
[03:34] <quiescens> i don't suppose you looked at the docs for it?
[03:34] <quiescens> there should be a -h option
[03:35] <mikeliss> quiescens: I did, but I use screen so infrequently they're all greek to me (e.g: (C-a h, C-a C-h))
[03:36] <quiescens> mikeliss: you can Ca :
[03:36] <mikeliss> quiescens: I used the -h option, I did CTRL+SHIFT+:, then hardcopy -h ~/scrollback.txt
[03:36] <mikeliss> quiescens: Ca :?
[03:36] <root> Hi all
[03:37] <quiescens> mikeliss: well, whatever brings up screen's command line entry for you
[03:37] <frustrated2> I am quite frustrated.  I've been using Ubuntu since Dapper.  I put off purchasing a new work laptop until the 12.4 release.  I was excited to upgrade from 10.4.  I have spent the last 3 weeks trying to find a desktop I can use.  I loved Gnome2/Compiz.  Unity is very aggravating.  Gnome3 and KDE are also foreign.  In all I have tried almost a dozen desktops.  Is there a way to get my Gnome2/Compiz back?  Or should I give up and find an
[03:37] <frustrated2> other distro?
[03:37] <Guest55920> Ok Thanks NickServ
[03:37] <mikeliss> quiescens: I think Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+SHIFT+: is doing it...never used it this way before.
[03:38] <Guest55920> i wanna add office in bt5 how do i please advice
[03:38] <mikeliss> quiescens: So then I do hardcopy -h filename.txt, and it doesn't seem to do anything more than the visible part of the screen.
[03:38] <frodo> Will kde when installing it will it try and auto detect the type of vido card and monitor that your using?
[03:40] <navatwo> anyone know how to install 32bit build-essential on a 64bit machine
[03:45] <quiescens> mikeliss: either your output was drawn by something using absolute screen positioning commands, or your scrollback is set really low or off
[03:45] <mikeliss> quiescens: Doing C-a i tells me that it's set to 1024 lines...no idea why hardcopying it doesn't work.
[03:46] <mikeliss> quiescens: In any case, I'm filing a bug that 1024 is WAY too low. Can't imagine why it's not 100,000 or something.
[03:46] <quiescens> mikeliss: shrug, the one i just tried gave me 1042 lines
[03:47] <quiescens> mikeliss: i doubt there will be a bug accepted for what is a configurable setting
[03:47] <mikeliss> quiescens: Yeah....seems to be the default, which makes sense if you have, say 2MB of RAM, but every now and then it can save you...times like now, for example, and it sucks when it doesn't work.
[03:47] <kandinski> hi, I think I may have broken add-apt-repositories
[03:47] <jamjam> hi all! If I plug my USB on ubuntu server, where can I locate it? nothing on /mnt
[03:47] <kandinski> I get a NameError: global name 'lp_url' is not defined
[03:48] <resting> how can i safety change the ssh port? in case i need log myself out?
[03:48] <quiescens> mikeliss: moreover, the default is actually 100 lines, so you already have something changing the setting to 1000 if that is what yours is
[03:48] <resting> *safely
[03:48] <chu> jamjam: /media ?
[03:48] <mikeliss> quiescens: Perhaps an Ubuntu thing....how did you figure out the default is 100?
[03:48] <frodo> How can I fix the error message sdb asking for cache data failed please?
[03:48] <mikeliss> quiescens: I haven't changed the default though to my knowledge.
[03:49] <quiescens> mikeliss: man page says the default is 100 as far as screen is concerned
[03:49] <jamjam> .. /media shows only cdrom
[03:49] <mikeliss> quiescens: Ah. Hadn't found that yet. Good to know.
[03:49] <frodo> me?
[03:50] <jamjam> I wonder which one it is on /dev ??
[03:50] <jamjam> noob on server BTW.. :-)
[03:50] <resting> how to assign an additional port for ssh?
[03:51] <quiescens> resting: man sshd_config, most likely edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add extra Port lines
[03:53] <resting> quiescens: thanks..shall try that
[03:54] <jamjam> when i type $ sudo fdisk -l ...my usb device was /dev/sdb1 but say's not a directory
[03:55] <frodo> No every ecounter that problem?
[03:55] <violinappren> jamjam: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

[04:06] <rumpe1> _skpl, correct the permissions first
[04:06] <violinappren> _skpl: right click on file, select properties, then check permissions tab
[04:06] <wylde> kandinski: ^^
[04:06] <azl> set file permission first

[04:08] <Jordan_U> k014: What entry are you trying to edit/remove and why?

[04:11] <rabbi1> azl: yeah, just copy the iso file or extract the iso file to usb stick ?
[04:11] <wylde> kandinski:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/110672/add-apt-repository-returns-unexpected-length-error
[04:11] <kandinski> oh, ta!
[04:12] <k014> hello everyone!, what is the correct way to remove/edit an entry in grub? (ubuntu 12.04, fresh install), anyone?
[04:12] <wylde> kandinski: from the sound of the last comment it may be a connection issue of some sort.
[04:12] <Jordan_U> k014: OK, to do that you'll need to first copy your normal Windows menu entry from /boot/grub/grub.cfg to /boot/grub/custom.cfg, then disable os-prober by adding GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub and then run "sudo update-grub".
[04:13] <rumpe1> k014, edit: use an editor, be careful to edit according to the format, remove: just commenting an entry is often a good idea
[04:13] <deeprogram> do you know good source.list for China /
[04:13] <deeprogram> ?
[04:13] <k014> rumpe1: comment in what file?
[04:13] <Jordan_U> rumpe1: k014: /boot/grub/grub.cfg is completely re-written every time a new kernel is installed, so editing it directly isn't very effective.
[04:13]  * kasper runs
[04:13] <k014> Jordan_U:  sounds the right way
[04:14] <rumpe1> k014, if the first character in a line in fstab file is a #, it is a comment and not an active entry anymore
[04:14] <frodo> I think I got the problem fixed.
[04:14] <rumpe1> Jordan_U, k014 uh... right. Sorry. I thought it was about fstab file.
[04:15] <kasper> fstab != mtab
[04:15] <k014> nono, i want just to remove an entry in grub
[04:16] <rumpe1> k014, well ... the recommended way is to remove/edit the script that generates that entry (/etc/grub.d )
[04:16] <k014> i have 2 windows related entries in grub, the second one is dangeours, because is a recovery envoronment, and with my dualboot setup, is causing infinite reboot loops
[04:17] <Jordan_U> rumpe1: k014: You should almost never need to edit anything in /etc/grub.d/.
[04:17] <k014> rumpe1:  but /etc/grub.d/ is a folder
[04:17] <rumpe1> Jordan_U, ... but?
[04:17] <Jordan_U> rumpe1: But what?
[04:18] <rumpe1> k014, but which other configuration/file?
[04:18] <rumpe1> Jordan_U, but which other configuration/file?
[04:18] <Jordan_U> rumpe1: See the instructions I gave to k014 earlier in this conversation, specifically /etc/default/grub for settings and /boot/grub/custom.cfg for custom menu entries.
[04:19] <robgraves> k014: you could install grub customizer...http://askubuntu.com/questions/100232/how-do-i-change-the-grub-boot-order
[04:19] <k014> oh yeah, but i want to learn how to do it console-way
[04:20] <k014> ok /boot/grub/custom.cfg doesn't exists
[04:20] <k014> orcustom file is a backup of grub.cfg?
[04:21] <Jordan_U> k014: You need to create it.
[04:21] <k014> ok i did; sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /boot/grub/custom.cfg
[04:22] <Jordan_U> k014: No.
[04:22] <k014> ok
[04:22] <rumpe1> Jordan_U, do you know how to call the manpage for custom.cfg?
[04:23] <Jordan_U> rumpe1: info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'
[04:23] <rumpe1> Jordan_U, thanks a lot
[04:23] <k014> ok i did:
[04:23] <k014>  sudo rm /boot/grub/custom.cfg; sudo touch /boot/grub/custom.cfg
[04:23] <k014> now, i have a empty custom.cfg file
[04:23] <k014> what now
[04:24] <Jordan_U> k014: /boot/grub/custom.cfg is read after the rest of the entries from /boot/grub/grub.cfg. You want /boot/grub/custom.cfg to only contain your custom Windows entry (since GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true will get rid of the automatically added one).
[04:24] <rumpe1> Jordan_U, well... it says that it's just for adding custom entries at the end of the menu and deleting specific entries has to be done by changing the scripts in /etc/grub.d
[04:24] <k014> adding GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub and then run "sudo update-grub".... OK
[04:24] <Jordan_U> rumpe1: See the part about GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER
[04:25] <improvshark> hi im having trouble with setting my ubuntu server to a static ip. when ever i restart i loose connectivity my ect/network/interfaces looks like http://pastebin.com/rgccrMxM is their something that im missing?
[04:25] <Jordan_U> k014: Stop for a minute and let me give more detailed directions.
[04:25] <Omi_ubuntu> hello i am facing some problem can anybody help me up?
[04:25] <k014> Jordan_U:  oh, ok, custom is for additional entries, how about to remove/edit
[04:25] <c_smith> improvshark, does your ISP allow static IP?
[04:26] <improvshark> i think so i had one working before i reinstalled to 12.04
[04:26] <rumpe1> Jordan_U, uh... ok. Sounds not like a nice solution though to just deactivate the prober.
[04:26] <Jordan_U> k014: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/default/grub will remove all entries for OSs other than Ubuntu.
[04:26] <c_smith> Omi_ubuntu, do not ask that before asking your main question, just ask about the problem you have from the getgo.
[04:26] <james> Is there a command to remove all of a certain file type in a directory?
[04:26] <c_smith> improvshark, ok, I have no other experience to offer any help there.
[04:26] <k014> sound not to be a good idea, cause i want other entries, i just want to remove/hide one
[04:27] <k014> james: rm *.jpg
[04:27] <k014> will remove all jpg in that dir
[04:27] <improvshark> ok thanks c_smith
[04:27] <Jordan_U> k014: Just trust me and be patient, I know what I'm doing it's just taking a while to type :)
[04:27] <k014> aaah ok
[04:27] <c_smith> improvshark, no prob, hopefully you get an answer! :)
[04:27] <Jordan_U> k014: Have you actually run "sudo update-grub" after adding GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub yet? If not, don't do so yet.
[04:28] <k014> ok
[04:28] <Scroggins10> rm: cannot remove `*.jpg': No such file or directory
[04:28] <k014> i dont edit yes /etc/default/grub
[04:28] <Jordan_U> k014: OK, please pastebin your current /boot/grub/grub.cfg .
[04:28] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | k014
[04:29] <Scroggins10> Is there a command to remove all of a certain file type in a directory?
[04:29] <k014> there is any program to easyly pastebin from console?, like:
[04:29] <k014> cat file.cfg | cl2pastebin
[04:30] <Jordan_U> !pastebinit | k014
[04:31] <k014> thx
[04:31] <negimaki> anyone have a recommended WebDAV client in Ubuntu?

[04:31] <k014> thx!

[04:34] <Jordan_U> k014: OK, you want to copy just the Windows entry into your /boot/grub/custom.cfg . That meanst that your /boot/grub/grub.cfg should contain this http://paste.ubuntu.com/972838/ (which I simply copied from your grub.cfg).
[04:34] <c_smith> hmmmm, then that is strange.

[04:35] <k014> ok, and remove that entry?
[04:35] <Jordan_U> k014: * That meanst that your /boot/grub/grub.cfg should contain this http://paste.ubuntu.com/972838/ (which I simply copied from your grub.cfg).
[04:35] <k014> from grub.cfg?
[04:36] <Jordan_U> k014: Sorry, I'm tired and just posted the same typo'd comment again.
[04:36] <k014> HAHAH ok no prob
[04:36] <Guest24796> asijack
[04:36] <senola> hello
[04:37] <Jordan_U> k014: Now you edit /etc/default/grub to have GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true and run "sudo update-grub" which will remove both Windows entries from /boot/grub/grub.cfg, which is OK because the one we want to keep is now in /boot/grub/custom.cfg .
[04:37] <k014> ok, copy the unwanted entry to custom, and do nothing with grub.cfg
[04:38] <k014> aaah oka
[04:38] <Guest24796> Hello everyone
[04:38] <Jordan_U> k014: Copy the *wanted* entry to /boot/grub/custom.cfg, not the unwanted one.

[04:43] <k014> seems like no windows entry now
[04:44] <Jordan_U> k014: OK, reboot and test that there is now only one Windows entry and that it works.
[04:44] <k014> but, this you read the result of running update.grub?
[04:44] <k014> http://paste.ubuntu.com/972848/
[04:45] <k014> seems like the wanted one is not there

[06:00] <cemc> hi. ubuntu 12.04, I would like to change the font for thunderbird/firefox/chrome/skype. how can I do that?
[06:00] <resting> is iptables n ufw 2 different things?
[06:01] <gaelfx> cemc: thunderbird/firefox/chrome - change the system font, Skype you can change in it's own options (it uses QT, so sytem font change probably will do nothing)
[06:01] <cemc> gaelfx: change the system font where?
[06:03] <derpella> gaelfx: /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so <- it is there
[06:03] <gaelfx> cemc: I think you need to change it using gconf-editor, I could be wrong though
[06:03] <gaelfx> derpella: what size is the .so?
[06:04] <derpella> 17004
[06:05] <gaelfx> derpella: 17004 what?
[06:05] <_Tristan1> How can I check the version of my mesa driver?
[06:05] <derpella> bytes I think
[06:06] <_Tristan1> derpella du -sh /lefile/thingy
[06:06] <gaelfx> derpella: are you sure it's not KB?
[06:06] <derpella> 17kb
[06:06] <derpella> kB
[06:06] <derpella> 16, precisely
[06:06] <derpella> ohh
[06:06] <derpella> sorry
[06:07] <derpella> of course, about 16MB :)
[06:07] <derpella> sorry -_-'
[06:08] <gaelfx> derpella: well, I'm not 100% sure, since I'm running 64-bit, but mine is 19.2MB, maybe yours didn't download properly?
[06:09] <Ademan> soooo... to btrfs or not to btrfs?
[06:09] <derpella> gaelfx: I reinstalled, it should be right
[06:09] <derpella> b esides, it's from repo
[06:10] <derpella> and there was updare which changed noting
[06:11] <gaelfx> derpella: well, I'm stumped, sorry :/
[06:12] <pnorman> Does do-release-upgrade involve a reboot?
[06:12] <gaelfx> derpella: wait, do you mean from the partner repo or did you install the flash-plugin installer package?
[06:12] <gaelfx> pnorman: if it's installing a new kernel, most definitely
[06:14] <Auckla> I would just like to say that 12.04 I am pretty sure does nto work with my AMD Sempron 1.5ghz.
[06:14] <atari2600a> does anyone here w/ an ATI/AMD card keep getting hangs?
[06:14] <atari2600a> &/or random x session restarts
[06:14] <Auckla> Checked md5 everything is fine. Downloaded HTTP and Torrent. :*(.
[06:14] <Auckla> I don't really care 11.04 is good enough for me for thid dated hardware.
[06:15] <derpella> gaelfx: partner repo
[06:15] <gaelfx> is Gnome the window manager or is unity the window manager?
[06:15] <derpella> gaelfx: maybe I should delete his "alternative" so?
[06:15] <atari2600a> gaelfx, yes
[06:16] <gaelfx> derpella: well, probably, but I can't imagine why that would be causing the problem. Chromium knows where the right plugin is, but give it a shot!
[06:16] <gaelfx> atari2600a: care to give a non-snarky answer?

[06:45] <rfictus> how to disable overtype mode in gedit ??
[06:47] <chu> Does pressing the <insert> key do anything?
[06:50] <satyanash> chu, Yea... it toggles replace and insert modes..
[06:50] <satyanash> chu, shift+insert also is equivalent to ctrl+v
[06:51] <chu> I don't use gedit myself, so I have no clue, but that seemed the obvious. If that doesn't work, I don't know.
[06:53] <Ademan-remote> anyone like using empathy for IRC ?
[06:53] <EpicCyndaquil> I am right now Ademan-remote
[06:53] <Ademan-remote> EpicCyndaquil: but do you like it? :-p
[06:54] <EpicCyndaquil> It's decent. I mainly am just in here to try and get AIM working :P
[06:54] <resting> where are the rules for iptables saved in ubuntu?
[06:55] <EpicCyndaquil> does empathy have an IRC room?
[06:55] <Ademan-remote> no idea, there's ##gnome which would be an ok place to ask I guess
[06:55] <Ademan-remote> what's the issue you're having?
[06:56] <EpicCyndaquil> AIM refuses to connect at all
[06:56] <Mayazcherquoi> Yo yo yo, wassup, yippie yo, yo yo yo?
[06:56] <Ademan-remote> EpicCyndaquil: hm, no idea, since you said that I tried it out and it "works for me"
[06:57] <EpicCyndaquil> are you on a testing version of libpurple?
[06:57] <Ademan-remote> EpicCyndaquil: I don't think so, I'm on a brand-spanking-new install of ubuntu 12.04
[06:57] <EpicCyndaquil> so am I, so why am I having an issue when you aren't...
[06:58] <Ademan-remote> one sec
[06:58] <EpicCyndaquil> what server/port are you using?

[07:06] <meiji11> I've upgraded to 12.04 and for some reason, when I log in after my machine goes to sleep, the sound on my hdmi monitor no longer appears as an option in the Sound Settings dialog.
[07:07] <meiji11> the monitor has speakers and an output jack for headphones.
[07:08] <yuri__> Yay! I finally got read-only access to my Win 7 computer through Ubuntu. Now, I used the rw switch in mount for smbfs and it still only gives me read-only. There a way to fix this? The ident I'm using to login has full-access to the entire computer, so I would thinkg rw would be a given...?
[07:10] <scottj> when running commands a and b is there an easy way to kill a when b is killed/closed? or a way to get the pid of a command (and its sub commands) after running it?
[07:10] <tBag-Tobiasz> Hi, how I can copy root confing (Desktop icon, theme, etc) to user.
[07:11] <yuri__> tBag, my suggestion is to take root's configuration and empty it of sensitive data and put the remaining structure in the skeleton directory in /etc.
[07:11] <scottj> tBag-Tobiasz: maybe cp /root/.config /home/user
[07:12] <yuri__> /etc/skel is used for the default file structure of any new users. :)
[07:12] <yuri__> Whatever, ANYTHING (literally), in skel is copied by the adduser commands.
[07:13] <yuri__> I use to run a MUSH server awhile back and had a fully untared and compiled copy of the altest PennMUSH sources in skel so everyone new had a clean and ready to go setup.
[07:13] <yuri__> *server should have been host. ;)
[07:14] <yuri__> As for your initial issue, tbag, I'd cp root's home directory over to something like root2 and clean up root2 and then cp root2's stuff over to /etc/skel and then all new users get access to the config you want them to have by default. :)
[07:15] <yuri__> This method would also cut down on initial log-in time due to the fact that EVERYTHING is already there and does nto ahve to be created.
[07:16] <gbear14275> Where is sda5 mounted at in the default partitioning scheme?
[07:16] <gbear14275> Is that the .private?
[07:18] <yuri__> On my system, SDA5 is swap. In which case it is not mounted into the main filesystem. It's it's own entity. No direct access to swap drives.
[07:18] <yuri__> My suggestion is to run gparted, provided you have gnome or kde.
[07:19] <ubuntu> slt
[07:19] <yuri__> df would also work as well on the console.
[07:20] <ubuntu> hi
[07:20] <gbear14275> hmm... says /home/$USER/.private is mounted on /home/$USER...  isn't that circular?
[07:22] <yuri__> Unlike Windows, you can mount a drive or share anywhere in the filesystem. So, what look circular is not always circular.
[07:22] <Devastator> is this the right place to get support regarding win32 image writer?
[07:24] <gbear14275> yuri__, any pointers to understanding the mechanics of .encryptfs?  Would like to learn how this is working
[07:24] <yuri__> gbear1427, Just a moment. :)
[07:25] <yuri__> Alright, as for the mechanincs, I'm not very up on encrypted hard drives at the moment. Mine is and I find it semi painful at times. Lemme see if I can find technical details on it. Right now, I have a post about .encryptfs here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1903556
[07:26] <yuri__> I did find this: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/~wei/EncryptFS.pdf
[07:28] <yuri__> gbeat14275, that was all I was able to find quickly for you. I can't find any specs or technical sheets, though. Sorry. :)
[07:28] <yuri__> *gbear. ;)
[07:30] <gbear14275> yuri__, Thank you very much.  I imagine I have some reading to do but I appreciate the leads to start with.
[07:30] <yuri__> gbear14275, no problem. :) You are most welcome. :)
[07:31] <gbear14275> What lead me to this was finding that my whole partition seems to be in one place except for an 8.5GB extended partition with no apparent mount point.  I'm guessing this is my homedir so am trying to confirm
[07:32] <blackshirt> gbear14275: what you mean ?
[07:33] <yuri__> Back in the day, when I was not afraid of breaking my computer, I use to make a temporary directory in /mnt and just mount willy-nilly and see what was there. If it told me it couldn't, I tried to figure out the resulting error. ;)
[07:33] <gbear14275> blackshirt, when I open up my disk utility it lists 3 partitions.  sda1 -- mounted at /, sda2 -- extended (0x05) the container for logical partitions, and sda5 which it doesn't give much info about
[07:34] <blackshirt> gbear14275: i think sda5 was your swap
[07:34] <gbear14275> blackshirt, ah... might be...
[07:34] <Almindor> hey
[07:34] <blackshirt> hey Almindor
[07:34] <Almindor> I don't see removable drives icon in the unity side-panel since 12.04, is this a "design decision" or bug?
[07:35] <gbear14275> hmm... that makes me even less happy.  If I don't have a separate /home means i could be in for some pain if I lose /
[07:35] <blackshirt> gbear14275: just check agains
[07:35] <Almindor> e.g. if I plug in a usb (it's plugged ok and visible in nautilus)
[07:35] <Almindor> usb key
[07:35] <Almindor> it's not a big deal but kinda bothersome if I want to eject I have to open nautilus and do it from there
[07:36] <gbear14275> blackshirt, yup your right... swap space... as a logical partition though?  weird...
[07:36] <gbear14275> I guess it doesn't matter though
[07:37] <gbear14275> so when deja-dup does a backup... is it capturing encrypted or non-encrypted data?
[07:37] <_ferret_> any way to map my windows video file folder to my ubunto video file folder? such as how you can do in win 7
[07:38] <gbear14275> _ferret_, are you asking if windows can do it?
[07:38] <yuri__> I was just about to ask that. ;)
[07:39] <gbear14275> _ferret_, ah, you mean can you set your windows video file as your ubuntu video file?
[07:39] <gbear14275> so your ubuntu video file will open your windows video folder?
[07:40] <Almindor> nvm, found it in myunity
[07:40] <gbear14275> Almindor, My removable drives show up in the unity dock when plugged in...
[07:40] <yuri__> Sorry Almindor. But I'm glad you found it. :)
[07:41] <yuri__> As for mounting your windows videos in place of your ubuntu videos, I would make sure your linux video folder is empty and run the following command:
[07:41] <loginix> i was hoping someone can help me
[07:41] <Almindor> I used beta 12.04 perhaps in beta they turned it off for some reason, it works fine now :)
[07:42] <gbear14275> loginix, whats your question?
[07:42] <yuri__> smbmount //<winpc>/<share> /<video directory> -o username=<windows username>,password=<win pass>,rw,uid=<your uid on linux>
[07:42] <loginix> i tried to install gimp 2.8 and just got errors and now i just need to remove final ppa
[07:42] <loginix> http://pastebin.com/mYYj1hab here is what my terminal is showing
[07:42] <gbear14275> Almindor, I like my clean install... I figured an LTS was a good place to clean out the garbage from all my upgrades
[07:43] <yuri__> Almindor, I've been hearing that certain servers are enabled in the final version while others are disabled in the finl version and vice-versa for the betas. So, it's a valid and logical conclusion. :)
[07:43] <Almindor> yeh I do that sometimes too
[07:44] <gbear14275> loginix, are you using oneric?  or precise?
[07:44] <yuri__> _ferret_ I don't know if you saw my solution or not: smbmount //<winpc>/<share> /<video directory> -o username=<windows username>,password=<win pass>,rw,uid=<your uid on linux>
[07:44] <Almindor> what pissed me off on 12.04 were the fullscreen-game-breaking keyboard shortcuts
[07:44] <loginix> oneric
[07:44] <Almindor> I had to turn them off
[07:44] <loginix> gbear14275: oneirc
[07:44] <Almindor> e.g. alt+q etc.
[07:45] <Almindor> I think it was also a gtk3 issue tho, from what I understand it's about the "accessibility" thing (they should've researched and disabled when fullscreen is in effect)
[07:45] <gbear14275> loginix, I can't tell what you would need to do from that... and am probably not the best person to ask.  I'd try using synaptic to do a full uninstall and reinstall after clearing out any related PPA's
[07:46] <loginix> gbear14275: Thanks.. i knew i should have messed with 2.8 lol
[07:46] <gbear14275> loginix, might work in 12.04?
[07:47] <loginix> gbear14275: i am on 12.04
[07:47] <furyoshonen> how do I mount a drive in Unity?
[07:47] <gbear14275> loginix, ah, then your on precise not oneric
[07:48] <gbear14275> 11.10 is oneric

[07:53] <nimesh_accenture> please suggest
[07:54] <andrija> why cant ubuntu recognize my internal mic?
[07:56] <sm1> nimesh_accenture: i suggest you follow Troubleshooting Steps here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[07:56] <andrija> why cant ubuntu recognize my internal mic?
[07:57] <yuri__> Nimesh, is you wireless card listed in ispci?
[07:58] <drake01> nimesh_accenture: does `rfkill list all` command shows the cards blocked, try command `rfkill unblock all`..
[07:59] <yuri__> Nimesh, I did some fairly quick reading: It seems that you might need to get new firmware out of the aptitude repositories. I couldn't find anything specific on the firmware. Also, try running "ifconfig wlan0 up" from the console.
[08:00] <yuri__> andrija, try this link and lemme know if it helped: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6993/internal-microphone-not-working

[08:02] <firc> where can I see the dbus-daemon logs?
[08:03] <bazhang> !ufw | GNU_Linux_New
[08:03] <Onixs>  fungshoi
[08:03] <firc> I'm getting some error saying the dbus-daemon died .. How can i see what exactly went wrong?
[08:03] <yuri__> firc, try "locate dbus-daemon" and see if that helps you. :)
[08:04] <yuri__> You can also try *dbus-daemon* in the locate command.
[08:04] <firc> yuri__: nope, no log files :(
[08:04] <yuri__> firc, Hrm. I don't have dbus either on my system, for logs. Lets see what else I can find for you. :)
[08:05] <GNU_Linux_New> bazhang: is that automatic?? no i suppose i have to configure the rules
[08:05] <bazhang> GNU_Linux_New, the one for fedora has to be configured as well
[08:06] <yuri__> firc Found it on mine. It's in auth.log for me. Try "grep dbus-daemon *" in your /var/log directory.
[08:06] <yuri__> Or grep dbus-daemon /var/log/*
[08:07] <nimesh_accenture> drake01: rfkill list all does not show anything
[08:07] <GNU_Linux_New> bazhang: for example: i installed ufw on my ubuntu system and there is another system which has a printer shared, it does not show on the ubuntu system with ufw enabled although in fedora it asks for allowing incoming requests and thats done!!

[08:09] <GNU_Linux_New> bazhang: and theres hardly any initial configuration needed... if u have any simple way of setting up a good and secure firewall plz tell :)
[08:09] <qkit> this is damm cool , i dont know irc bot can do this
[08:09] <bazhang> GNU_Linux_New, use gufw if you need a gui
[08:09] <qkit> !malay | qkit
[08:09] <bazhang> qkit, /msg ubottu
[08:09] <qkit> lol
[08:09] <qkit> .sg ubotu
[08:09] <bazhang> qkit, stop that
[08:10] <yuri__> qkit /help will give you all the irc commands and /help <command> gives more info on the individual commands. :)
[08:10] <qkit> oops...sorry
[08:13] <GNU_Linux_New> bazhang: how do i configure gufw
[08:13] <wylde> !ufw | GNU_Linux_New
[08:14] <wylde> GNU_Linux_New: there's info at the page the bot linked.
[08:14] <wylde> pages*
[08:15] <yuri__> Well, I'm off. It's 0200 hours here. Need sleep. Night all. And good luck with Ubuntu. :)
[08:16] <deeprogram> hey ? what command that can install dependencies package when installing  ?
[08:16] <GNU_Linux_New> wylde: thnx
[08:17] <deeprogram> I got : /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
[08:17] <foobArrr> apropos firewall: is there a way to block (outgoing) internet access on a per-program basis? I googled and read a bit about iptables some time ago, but I only found info about port-based blocking, iirc.
[08:17] <deeprogram> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[08:17] <deeprogram> error !
[08:17] <wylde> deeprogram: sudo apt-get build-dep <packagename>
[08:17] <GNU_Linux_New> bazhang: i have gufw, but how to configure in gui, there is hardly any option there..
[08:17] <wylde> deeprogram: provided you got your source from the repos
[08:18] <wylde> deeprogram: another useful tool for that is apt-file
[08:18] <solarbaby> I just finished a sucessful install of Ubuntu 12.04 for Mac and upon rebooting it can't find my boot disk.. will I have to edit grub by hand?
[08:18] <wylde> !info apt-file
[08:18] <MonkeyDust> GNU_Linux_New  in gufw: Edit - Add rule
[08:19] <MonkeyDust> !mac| solarbaby
[08:19] <solarbaby> Thanks ubottu
[08:19] <deeprogram> wylde: what's your mean by " provided you got your source from the repos"
[08:20] <bazhang> deeprogram, not from some 3rd party website
[08:20] <MonkeyDust> deeprogram  are you a programmer?
[08:20] <GNU_Linux_New> MonkeyDust: what rules do i normally require to add??
[08:20] <L3top> !ppa | deeprogram
[08:20] <wylde> deeprogram: that means I don't think apt-get build-dep will work with 3rd party sources. I don't know for sure because I haven't tried.
[08:20] <MonkeyDust> GNU_Linux_New  never tried to change anything, only know the basics of ip-tables
[08:21] <deeprogram> wylde: so you mean the problem maybe from third source ?
[08:21] <L3top> typically is.
[08:22] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: Did you use automatic or manual partitioning? What happens when you try to boot?
[08:22] <wylde> deeprogram: I'm saying that apt-get build-dep command may not be able to find the dependencies for you. You have to hunt the down manually.
[08:22] <wylde> them*
[08:22] <GNU_Linux_New> MonkeyDust: have u ever used a firewall in windows machine, they are automatic and they block almost everything that tries to change any system file or block internet attacks
[08:22] <wylde> deeprogram: that's where apt-file can come in handy :)
[08:23] <MonkeyDust> GNU_Linux_New  i've not used windows for ages
[08:23] <solarbaby> ubottu: if im reading that page right its telling me that I'm only officially supported on Ubuntu 10.10
[08:24] <wylde> solarbaby: no, 10.10 is eol
[08:24] <solarbaby> ubottu: you are a very smart likable bot
[08:24] <MonkeyDust> GNU_Linux_New  what you do or don't want to allow, depends on how you use your pc
[08:24] <solarbaby> wylde: that bot sent me on a wild goose chase
[08:24] <rymate1234> I like having control over my firewall
[08:25] <wylde> solarbaby: lol, 10.10 was EOL the first or second? week of April :)
[08:25] <solarbaby> wylde: any humans i can talk to that know whats going on with the mac ubuntu stuff?
[08:26] <wylde> solarbaby: not I, I'd be of no use to you on that subject.
[08:26] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: I'm a human but you haven't responded to my questions.
[08:26] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: I am sorry..  i certainly missed it.. looking back now
[08:27] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: No problem :)
[08:27] <ruman1> hi every one
[08:27] <GNU_Linux_New> FIREWALL
[08:29] <ruman1> i have ubuntu 11.10 i my pc...i want to install windows server 2008 over this...would it work after installing windows server 2008
[08:29] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: I installed Ubuntu to my firewire drive and used the entire drive.  I partitioned manually and it got through half the install and failed.  Then with out rebooting (Because I was in the Live install) I clicked on install again, and it allowed me to use all my same partition settings with out fuss.. it just said it would delete it and reuse it.. and it finished the install sucesffully the second time around.  Then i went to reboot and grub or
[08:29] <MonkeyDust> ruman1  windows will overwrite the grub menu, you will have to repair it
[08:29] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: to clarify my OSX is still intact on my internal drive.. it just doesn't boot from Ubuntu on my firewire drive
[08:30] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: Your comment was cut off at "Then i went to reboot and grub or".
[08:30] <ruman1> any one cal tell me that ubuntu 11.10 works after installing server 2008
[08:30] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: ...  Then I went to reboot and grub or lilo must not be setup right because it doesn't see my OS
[08:31] <ruman1> MonkeyDust, after reparing can i use both OS
[08:32] <MonkeyDust> ruman1  yes
[08:32] <wylde> ruman1: as long as you don't overwrite the current ubuntu partition.
[08:32] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: I know that Apple's BIOS implementation has issues with USB, it probably has issues with firewire as well. You can work around this by installing grub-efi (but booting via EFI will cause issues with linux graphics drivers) or by creating a small /boot/ partition on your internal drive.
[08:32] <ruman1> ok...thanks both of you
[08:32] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: I installed refit but I doubt thats what your talking about
[08:33] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: It's not.
[08:34] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: By the way, in most IRC clients you can see all of your past comments, and others comments to you, with "/lastlog solarbaby" ( and usually "/lastlog clear" to get rid of the clutter /lastlog creates).
[08:34] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: so i'm better off installing this internally then?
[08:34] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: That will make things easier, yes.
[08:34] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: Thanks!  I setup irssi but its not working right.. even the hilight window at the top is displaying everything but hilights
[08:37] <MonkeyDust> solarbaby  i use irssi too, type /set and use page up and down to read the different options, hilight is on of them
[08:38] <MonkeyDust> one*
[08:38] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: if I only installed the /boot partition on my internal drive, and the rest on the firewire drive.. might that be all your suggesting?
[08:38] <misha777> #ubuntu-ru
[08:39] <solarbaby> MonkeyDust: Thanks!  everytime I setup Hilight in the split window it seems to work and then I /save layout and by the next time I log in, its glitchy.. showing me the wrong stuff
[08:39] <wylde> !ru | misha777
[08:39] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: That should work.
[08:40] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: I think I can manage that
[08:40] <_ferret_> my windows drive, what is it called in Ubuntu?
[08:41] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: Make sure that grub's boot sector gets installed to the MBR of your internal drive (*not* to a partition, and not to the firewire drive).
[08:41] <MonkeyDust> _ferret_  usually, it's /dev/sda1
[08:42] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: good tip I'm sure.
[08:42] <gaelfx> ferret_: what are you trying to do?
[08:42] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: I better get to work on backing up my 3 year old install of osx, just in case
[08:42] <MonkeyDust> _ferret_  in a terminal, type sudo fdisk -l, NTFS is the windows partition
[08:43] <wylde> solarbaby: +1 for backing up!
[08:43] <solarbaby> Yay!
[08:43] <linuxtech> ferret could run lshw and look for it under disk.
[08:44] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: Also, do *not* use boot camp (it creates an ugly "hybrid" mbr) and be sure to make a BIOS Boot Partition (where grub's core.img will be embedded) in addition to the /boot/ partition. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#BIOS-installation
[08:45] <gaelfx> NFS is taking a long time to load file lists, any idea how I can find the problem?
[08:46] <Carpe|Diem> I need to lock down an ubuntu desktop. I'm still free to choose the DE but it should be lightweight. What whall I pick. Is it possible to lockdown XFCE4 in an easy way?
[08:48] <linuxtech> Carpe|Diem: lock it down in what way?  Unless you opened up services or installed flash or java you should be ok with the default.  And lubuntu is the light weight desktop.
[08:49] <Carpe|Diem> linuxtech: I need a desktop enviroment with basicaly a browser button and a shutdown button. And thats it. Users should be able to do nothing
[08:50] <MonkeyDust> Carpe|Diem  is it for a public pc, like in a library?
[08:50] <Carpe|Diem> MonkeyDust: Something like that, yes
[08:51] <linuxtech> I am logged into a friends machine remotely, she forgot to mount the drive with dolphin...  It would have mounted it /media/200, can I do that with some command line thing that will aotomount in the correct spot without having to do a mkdir ... ; mount dev dir?
[08:51] <Carpe|Diem> linuxtech: fstab?
[08:53] <linuxtech> It isn't fstab, it is a USB device.
[08:53] <Carpe|Diem> linuxtech: oh ok
[08:53] <MonkeyDust> linuxtech  i mount an external usb disk in fstab too
[08:53] <Boreeas> Is there something like an application-specific firewall filter? I.e. I want to say "This application can send data, that one can not, this one can receive but not send, ..."
[08:54] <Carpe|Diem> Boreeas: http://www.fs-security.com/
[08:55] <solarbaby> Jordan_U: will do..  Thank You
[08:55] <Jordan_U> solarbaby: You're welcome.
[08:55] <Boreeas> Carpe|Diem: Awesome, thanks
[08:56] <solarbaby> I'm more then half tempted to remove all osx off the computer.. not sure i'm there yet though
[08:56] <resting> if i configure filezilla to connect with sftp, does the settings in vsftpd.conf still matters?
[08:56] <Karou> can somebody help me out?
[08:56] <resting> apprently i can connect without starting the service
[08:58] <linuxtech> pmount /dev/sdb1 200 ; that does what I want!
[08:58] <MonkeyDust> Karou  start with a question
[09:02] <geekwani> which is the best way to install java6 on ubuntu 12.04 : 1>Download .bin file from oracle and install || 2>install using ppa method from some source..?
[09:03] <MonkeyDust> geekwani  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[09:03] <Cebor> geekwani, i think the best way is, to install openjdk-6-jre via apt
[09:04] <geekwani> but i want oracle-jdk6 not openjdk6... i was wondering if some1 could share their experience
[09:05] <geekwani> i'm aware of community help
[09:05] <jpds> geekwani: You can only do with option number 1.
[09:05] <MonkeyDust> geekwani  have you opened the linked I posted?
[09:05] <MonkeyDust> link*
[09:05] <geekwani> yes
[09:05] <geekwani> i read it
[09:06] <geekwani> apt has removed support for oracle-java becoz of some licensing issues
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> yes
[09:07] <jpds> geekwani: Not just apt, everyone.
[09:07] <Qasaur> Hey guys
[09:07] <Qasaur> I have a problem
[09:07] <Qasaur> apt-get nor the software center will work for me
[09:07] <geekwani> ok
[09:07] <Qasaur> It works are home
[09:07] <Qasaur> but at school it doesn't
[09:07] <MonkeyDust> oracle no longer supports linux
[09:07] <Qasaur> what do I do?
[09:07] <linuxtech> Carpe|Diem: Maybe this will help https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uZBtQwJ2gLi89g0jWXQWcSC0NnK29WuXPMg1cfuXsRA/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1
[09:07] <geekwani> ok
[09:08] <Qasaur> anyone? :|
[09:08] <wylde> Qasaur: details please? Like what error do you get?
[09:08] <Qasaur> I doesn't give any error
[09:08] <Qasaur> For example
[09:08] <Qasaur> I want to install wine
[09:08] <wylde> !enter | Qasaur
[09:08] <Qasaur> so I'll open the terminal and I'll tell you the output
[09:08] <Qasaur> one sec
[09:08] <kerloi> Hi all. Does anyone know a reason for not beeing able to update to kubuntu 12.04. I mean the update is not detected either through muon-updater or with 'apt-get dist-upgrade' ...
[09:08] <Carpe|Diem> linuxtech: Thank you, looks promising :D
[09:09] <Qasaur> alright
[09:09] <Qasaur> what it is doing
[09:09] <geekwani> but thr exist some ppas, like webupd8 which offer using ppa
[09:09] <Qasaur> it's stuck on 0%
[09:09] <geekwani> i mean they offer java using ppa method
[09:09] <wylde> kerloi: until point release 12.04.1 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d'
[09:09] <MonkeyDust> geekwani  mind: ppas are not supported here
[09:09] <geekwani> but i guess i'll stick to method 1
[09:09] <Qasaur> It says for example Get:1 *archive* *file size
[09:09] <geekwani> ok sorry
[09:09] <Qasaur> and then only 0%
[09:10] <geekwani> thank u MonkeyDust n rest
[09:10] <Qasaur> it doesn't download
[09:10] <Qasaur> at all
[09:10] <Qasaur> it works flawlessly at home but not at school
[09:10] <wylde> !enter | Qasaur
[09:10] <MonkeyDust> Qasaur  keep your question in one line please
[09:10] <Qasaur> Oh I'm sorry, didn't notice.
[09:10] <Qasaur> so anywat
[09:11] <kerloi> wylde: it says 'no new version found' ...
[09:11] <wylde> kerloi: using the -d flag?
[09:11] <pungi-man> change ur settings!
[09:11] <Qasaur> So anyone have an idea on what do do? Like I said earlier, it works at home but not at school
[09:11] <kerloi> wylde: yes
[09:12] <wylde> kerloi: ahhh bugger, my bad, kubuntu may be different. hmmm.. Have you asked in #kubuntu?
[09:12] <Qasaur> Perhaps it has something to do with the school firewall? And if so, is there a way to bypass it?
[09:12] <kerloi> wylde: Yes but the chan is pretty dead :)
[09:13] <linuxtech> Backup for my friend not going well...  No space left on device
[09:13] <wylde> kerloi: best I can suggest is have a look for something on kubuntu's website. Sorry, not much help I know. :(
[09:13] <Qasaur> wylde: Exactly what kind of details do you need?
[09:14] <kerloi> wylde: nop thx anyway
[09:14] <wylde> Qasaur: what are the exact errors from apt-get would help
[09:14] <Qasaur> There are no errors wylde
[09:15] <Qasaur> It doesn't download at all, it's stuck on 0% on the package
[09:15] <wylde> Qasaur: apt-get doesn't give any output when it won't connect?
[09:15] <Qasaur> Apparently it does connect somehow but it doesn't download
[09:15] <Halabund> I was trying to install Precise from  a Live CD, but the Live CD won't boot.  (I verified the CD after burning, and I ran the installer's built-in verifier too, the data on the CD is NOT corrupted).  The booting process hangs after about 5 minutes.  I see the Ubuntu logo in the middle of the screen and the dots below stop moving.
[09:16] <wylde> Qasaur: and you run sudo apt-get update before installing packages?
[09:16] <Qasaur> Yeah.
[09:16] <Halabund> How can I find out how to fix this?
[09:16] <wylde> !nomodeset | Halabund
[09:16] <Qasaur> I updated at home and apparently when I update here it doesn't work
[09:16] <Qasaur> No errors what so ever
[09:17] <wylde> Qasaur: school network could be preventing access but it shouldn't. Have you tried using a different mirror?
[09:17] <Qasaur> Yeah.
[09:17] <Qasaur> Is it the port that is blocked?
[09:17] <Halabund> wylde, it doesn't show a corrupted splash screen.  It goes on for some minutes, then it freezes completely.  Turning off the splash screen so I can see the messages reveals that it freezes either at "configuring network" or a few steps later.  It's unpredictable.
[09:17] <Qasaur> I'll paste the output onto a pastebin and link it here wylde
[09:18] <wylde> Qasaur: ok, that'll help
[09:18] <mafiaboy> hi guys.....
[09:18] <mafiaboy> can u help me how to resume videos in youtube-dl or any other alternative
[09:19] <VivekVC> How do I boot Ubuntu 12.04 in rescue mode ?
[09:19] <wylde> Halabund: ahh alrighty. Is it always at approximately the same satge in each attempt?
[09:19] <wylde> stage*
[09:20] <Qasaur> wylde: http://pastebin.com/kx8KmN3Z
[09:20] <wylde> VivekVC: reboot, hold shift after the bios passes and choose recovery (assuming you only have ubuntu installed)
[09:20] <Halabund> wylde, it's usually after these two lines: "configuring network security" and "configuring network".  But twice it went some 3-4 steps further.  I tried maybe 4 times, sometimes with a network cable connected, sometimes not.
[09:21] <VivekVC> wylde: ok
[09:21] <wylde> Halabund: does this system have wired AND wireless networking? I'm wondering if a driver module is hanging the boot process.
[09:21] <Qasaur> wylde: Did you check that link?
[09:22] <Halabund> wylde, I removed the "quiet" and "splash" options to try to find out what's going on, but this is all I could see.  Is there anything else I can try?  It takes extremely long to reboot, try, fail, reboot to windows again, come to chat, so the more ideas you could suggest to try at the same time the better :)
[09:22] <wylde> Qasaur: looking , patience pls. I'm multi-tasking lol
[09:22] <Qasaur> heh
[09:22] <Halabund> wylde, yes, it has both.  It's a very old laptop (6 years).  The last version of Ubuntu installed fine (I still have it, but wanted a clean install)
[09:23] <VivekVC> wylde: How do I choose recovery ?
[09:23] <wylde> Halabund: I'm kind of suspecting a network driver, for testing purposes, can you disable the wirless in the bios?
[09:23] <wylde> there should be an option in the grub boot menu.
[09:23] <wylde> VivekVC: ^^
[09:23] <VivekVC> ok
[09:24] <Halabund> wylde, alright, I'll try that.  But I'd like to not that the wirless never worked out of the box (I always needed to install the b43 driver).  ANy other suggestions before I reboot?
[09:24] <wylde> Qasaur: hmmm, does it do that with all packages?
[09:24] <Qasaur> wylde: Yeah
[09:24] <jellytot> hey guys. do you know of a way to determine how many physical hard disks are in a linux system?
[09:24] <VivekVC> I usually append rescue at the end of the second line in the older grubs.
[09:24] <VivekVC> wylde: Which line in the grub should I edit ?
[09:24] <wylde> Halabund: moment
[09:24] <Qasaur> wylde: It stays on 0% all the time
[09:25] <jellytot> anyone know?
[09:25] <wylde> !boot | Halabund
[09:25] <Blarrffll> jellytot : fdisk -l should work
[09:25] <VivekVC> wylde: btw, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 inside a Virtual Box
[09:26] <jellytot> Blarrffll, thanks man
[09:26] <jellytot> I was specifying a disk with fdisk but if you dont it prints all the disks?
[09:26] <Jordan_U> VivekVC: No need to edit any lines, there is an entry labeled "recovery mode" which already contains the correct kernel parameter.
[09:26] <Qasaur> wylde: It's obviously something wrong with the firewall at school
[09:27] <Qasaur> wylde: As it works flawlessly at home
[09:27] <wylde> VivekVC: sec, there's a QUIET option you need to comment out since you can't use the shift key for the VM afaik
[09:27] <VivekVC> ok.
[09:28] <Blarrffll> jellytot : that's right
[09:29] <wylde> VivekVC:
[09:29] <wylde> VivekVC: http://pastebin.com/FEAJ3yjD
[09:29] <VivekVC> wylde: Thanks
[09:30] <wylde> Qasaur: you're probably right, I hinestly don't know offhand how you might work around that
[09:30] <wylde> honestly*
[09:31] <VivekVC> wylde: Which file should I edit with the above options ?
[09:31] <Qasaur> wylde: Which port does apt-get use?
[09:31] <wylde> VivekVC: /etc/default/grub and run 'update-grub' afterwards before rebooting.
[09:31] <VivekVC> wylde: I am not able to boot into the machine itself.
[09:31] <wylde> Qasaur: I honestly don't know.
[09:32] <wylde> VivekVC: it's in a VM right?
[09:32] <VivekVC> Yes.
[09:32] <VivekVC> Virtual Box.
[09:32] <brian__> hi all ubuntu geeks
[09:32] <inc0> hi, I just did dist-upgrade from 12 to 12.04 and my performance dropped terribly...anyone knows any issues with that?
[09:33] <MonkeyDust> inc0  from 11.10 to 12.04 you mean
[09:33] <inc0> well last to newest
[09:33] <VivekVC> inc0: What performance drop, is this a desktop or server version ?
[09:33] <brian__> im new into this.. how do you get the latest install og gimp by using this string?  apt-get install gimp
[09:33] <dr_willis> last lts. last release.. last beta..
[09:34] <brian__> Im on a ubuntu 12.04
[09:34] <inc0> desktop, and basicly everything is muddy
[09:34] <dr_willis> brian__:  that installs the gimp from the repos
[09:34] <dr_willis> !info gimp
[09:34] <inc0> even dash
[09:34] <wylde> brian__: open your terminal (you can do that with ctrl+alt+t) and enter 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gimp'
[09:35] <dr_willis> gimp in 12.04 is versiin 2•6 it seems
[09:35] <brian__> yes.. but the new gimp are 2.8 ond its for download on there
[09:35] <dr_willis> brian__:  use a ppa perhaps
[09:35] <brian__> wylde: thanks i'll try that
[09:35] <dr_willis> !ppa
[09:35] <wylde> brian__: to get the latest you have to use their ppa
[09:35] <inc0> top shows that there should be much resources free...
[09:36] <brian__> wilde: pps ?
[09:36] <brian__> ppa
[09:36] <wylde> brian__: 3rd party ppas aren't supported here though. Just so you know :)
[09:36] <wylde> !ppa | brian__
[09:37] <brian__> Thanks... wylde :-)
[09:37] <wylde> brian__: np :)
[09:39] <brian__> It seems that the string to get the new gimp is not working, i get the 2.6.12 and not the 2.8
[09:39] <gurifisu> error while loading shared libraries: libfade2d.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | BUT ITS CLEARLY LOCATED IN /usr/local/lib WTF
[09:39] <brian__> I grap the gimp people for that quiestion..
[09:39] <wylde> brian__: yeah, that's because that's the newest version in the ubuntu repos
[09:40] <alankila> gurifisu: it may be missing some dependencies of its own
[09:40] <alankila> the error is misleading
[09:40] <alankila> use ldd against the program you try to run to find out
[09:40] <brian__> wylde: okay.. so i can just wait then..
[09:41] <dr_willis> brian__:  enable the ppa if you want newer
[09:41] <wylde> brian__: if you REALLY need it, you can always grab the source and compile. hehe
[09:41] <dr_willis> or wait till the next 6 mo release
[09:41] <gurifisu> alankila, i forgot ldconfig lol
[09:41] <wylde> I'm on gimp.org, I don't see a ppa listed as yet.
[09:42] <Blarrffll> Qasaur : I'm pretty sure apt uses http
[09:42] <brian__> wylde: I was just currius ;-)
[09:42] <wylde> :)
[09:42] <dr_willis> thwy may not have an official ppa
[09:43] <Blarrffll> Qasaur : I'd try to open http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ from a web browser from the location that apt isn't working
[09:43] <bencc> when installing a package, does dpkg restart dependent services?
[09:43] <wylde> Qasaur: I believe Blarrffll is right.
[09:43] <bencc> for example, does installing apache2-mpm-prefork force restart of the apache2 service?
[09:43] <brian__> dr_willis: i just think i wait to its official .-)
[09:43] <dr_willis> brian__:  that will be in 6 mo then
[09:43] <wylde> bencc: it should, but you should never count on it.
[09:44] <Shanth> i had done dual boot with Ubuntu 10.04 and win7 and  used grub as loader , now i had formatted win7 partition , but still i'm having the win7 option in grub loader , AnYOne plz guide me to remove that option.. ;)
[09:44] <bencc> wylde: ok
[09:45] <Jordan_U> Shanth: sudo update-grub
[09:45] <Shanth> let me try that , thanx
[09:49] <lgp171188> Hi, I recently purchased a HP G4 1201tx laptop for my fiancee. It comes with a AMD Radeon HD 6470M GPU. It had Windows 7 installed by default and I found that the computer uses some hybrid GPU stuff. Here is the output of lspci | grep VGA - http://pastebin.com/wMjYmdDr. The installation and booting into the OS after installation didn't work without nomodeset option.
[09:50] <brian__> ppa.. are that the same as the ubuntu softwarecenter?
[09:50] <lgp171188> When I tried to install proprietary drivers from jockey (post-release updates one) it failed with following errors in jockey.log file - http://pastebin.com/B3LiUcMq. The system booted into Unity 2D. I am concerned about how this hybrid GPU might cause heating and lesser battery life due to unconfigured GPU
[09:50] <Shanth> after trying sudo update-grub win7 option is still not removed . but i'm sure i had formated win7 partition with ext4 FS , but win 7 loader is still present ...what to do now ?
[09:50] <lgp171188> Any inputs that could help me on this?
[09:53] <Shanth> i need to remove win7 loader any help ?
[09:53] <alankila> Shanth: you need to perform grub-setup or grub-install against the disk, forget which one
[09:54] <dr_willis> check sudo fdisk -l   output
[09:54] <alankila> it will overwrite the boot sector
[09:54] <alankila> update-grub just regenerates the grub config
[09:55] <joefreemuller> How can I open up my wubi partition in Windows? I've tried to open the root.disk with explore2fs, but it doesn't work
[09:56] <MonkeyDust> joefreemuller  wubi creates a file, not a partition, iirc
[09:56] <joefreemuller> Yes, root.disk and swap.disk
[09:56] <joefreemuller> How do I open it and browse it in Windows?
[09:56] <Shanth> i already have grub installed in another partition , but the option to remove win7 loader...

[10:00] <w3bg33k> I have a server that is adding on a tag at the bottom of all my web pages...Where in apache would I find that setting?
[10:00] <joefreemuller> How can I open up my wubi partition in Windows? I've tried to open the root.disk with explore2fs, but it doesn't work
[10:03] <wylde> w3bg33k: what's the tag and are you sure it's from the apache configuration?

[10:05] <Adzz> Hi, im having problems running minecraft on Ubuntu 12.04, can anyone give me a hand?
[10:06] <Mayazcherquoi> Hey guys, do you know any software to convert a video file of webm format to avi? :S
[10:07] <dr_willis> kaushal:  try geany
[10:07] <kaushal> ok
[10:07] <dr_willis> Mayazcherquoi:  winff, ffmpeg, mencoder, avidemus, arista  and avi is a ccontainer.. what codec do you need to convert to..
[10:08] <Adzz> Hey, can someone please help me get minecraft working? ive been working on it for weeks now and still no luck :S
[10:08] <Mayazcherquoi> Something that can natively play on Windows.
[10:08] <oldwzd> lgp171188: think your dead in the water atm, as amd drivers dont work with multi card setup. if you can disable the intel gfx part of the cpu in bios it "may" be possible to get the drivers to work.
[10:08] <dr_willis> Mayazcherquoi:  natively means?
[10:08] <gunouille> Mayazcherquoi, windows can play webm videos
[10:08] <Mayazcherquoi> dr_willis: As in, one does not need to install any additional software, codec or codec packs in order to play it.
[10:08] <Mayazcherquoi> Can it
[10:08] <Mayazcherquoi> Okay, sweet
[10:09] <vincenzoml> Hi all, I am trying to learn how to program osgi bundles from scratch. I installed felix-main under ubuntu, and java-wrappers too
[10:09] <dr_willis> Adzz:  id say check the askubuntu.com site  and the forums for some guides.
[10:09] <vincenzoml> but when I run felix-framework I get the error message "Could not create framework: java.lang.Exception: Could not find framework factory"
[10:09] <lgp171188> oldwzd: I was fearing the same. :(
[10:09] <MonkeyDust> vincenzoml  is that a ubuntu thing?
[10:09] <dr_willis> who runs windows withouit installing extra codecs. :) wmp can even auto download them i thought.. bt i perfer vlc.
[10:09] <vincenzoml> MonkeyDust: absolutely
[10:09] <Adzz> dr_willis: I have but im having no luck, ive followed all the tutorials
[10:10] <gunouille> Mayazcherquoi, there is a video converter using ALL opensource codex on windows. and it's free and easy to use
[10:10] <oldwzd> lgp171188: mail amd support and ask them to fix it xD
[10:10] <Adzz> oldwzd: can you read private chat pl0x
[10:10] <MonkeyDust> vincenzoml  just read it's a java thing, better as in #java
[10:11] <MonkeyDust> ask*
[10:11] <vincenzoml> MonkeyDust: the problem seems to be in the ubuntu package - that's what I'm trying to understand
[10:11] <wylde> vincenzoml: looks like a dependency problem to me.
[10:12] <vincenzoml> wylde: do you have an idea of what could be missing?
[10:12] <wylde> vincenzoml: uhhh Could not find framework factory maybe? :)
[10:13] <lgp171188> oldwzd: Turning off one GPU isn't an option because the laptop is a dual boot setup and I don't want the overheating problem and poor battery backup on Windows by disabling the intel card.
[10:14] <lgp171188> oldwzd: There are some writeups on how to get the setup working, maybe I will try them one by one and then after hitting the dead-end or succeeding, decide what to do

[10:15] <Peanut> Hi folks - it seems that bug #530323, which was closed in august 2011, is now affecting 12.04 again. Should I re-open that bug, or file a new bug?
[10:15] <vincenzoml> wylde: how did you find out anyway?

[10:20] <gaelfx> I'm trying to use NFS to mount the /home from my other computer on the same network (that computer is wired, this one is wireless), but I changed my fstab entry for the NFS mount, now it's not mounting it on startup any more (it was before). How can I fix it?
[10:21] <luckymurali> hi all
[10:21] <wylde> Peanut: what package was the bug in?
[10:21] <MonkeyDust> gaelfx  add your local pc in /etc/eports on the remote pc
[10:22] <MonkeyDust> gaelfx  that's /etc/exports
[10:22] <luckymurali> im using ubuntu 10.04, when i
[10:22] <luckymurali> sudo svnserve -d -r /var/svn/abiba/
[10:22] <luckymurali> svnserve: Can't bind server socket: Address already in use . I really dont know what is the application in that address
[10:23] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: I mean I edited the fstab on the client, not the server
[10:23] <luckymurali> how to fix that?. please help me
[10:23] <rebourn> how do I find out what bootloader im using?
[10:23] <wylde> !info svnserve

[10:23] <u1_> Unfortunately the user of the other computer connected to u1 got a different name to u1, but also exists on this computer with the same name, say user1. But user1 here got already a different encrypted home directory. So I want mount the ecryptfs encrypted .Private from user1 delivered to /home/u1/.Private on this computer by the ubuntu one cloud service. But that fails. If I first try to change user by su - gerhard, then it will do nothing, be
[10:23] <u1_> cause the other encrypted folder is already mounted for gerhard...
[10:24] <u1_> su - user1
[10:24] <u1_> mounted for user1

[10:24] <d0gmaz> anyone got a clue for this problem: when i startup my computer i first have to start recovery mode than drop in root console type reboot and then load the generic kernel from grub otherwise my monitor stays black after grub...
[10:24] <bricktea> so
[10:25] <bricktea> anyone any ideas how to install RDKit on ubuntu ?
[10:25] <bricktea> i followed the installation guide to the letter
[10:25] <bricktea> still doesn't work
[10:25] <MonkeyDust> gaelfx  still, have you added your client's ip or hostname in /etc/exports on your server?
[10:25] <jondot> as a general guideline - is it always safe to install updates from update mananger?
[10:26] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: yeah
[10:27] <Adzz> Anyone here good with setting up Java/JRE on ubuntu?
[10:27] <wylde> jondot: if you only have ubuntu sources in your /etc/apt/sources.list sure.
[10:28] <jondot> wylde, ok
[10:28] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: like I said, it worked before, just after I changed the options in fstab clientside, it won't mount
[10:28] <wylde> jondot: once you start playing with 3rd party ppa's though you're on your own. Just so you know. :)
[10:29] <jondot> another q - with 12.04, there is no more a sun java package, correct?
[10:29] <Adzz> correct
[10:29] <wylde> gaelfx: I assume you already tried reverting to the previous options oon the client?
[10:29] <Adzz> jondot: correct
[10:29] <jondot> ok
[10:30] <Adzz> jondot: im having problems installing it aswell :P
[10:30] <jondot> Adzz, im thinking of doing this http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[10:31] <gaelfx> wylde: I didn't save them and can't remember :/
[10:31] <wylde> gaelfx: doh! *whispers* cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.backup :)
[10:32] <billybigr> why install jre 7? it's not released to public yet, only devs...
[10:32] <billybigr> like someone said above your one your own
[10:32] <vespakoen> Hey guys, I updated my ubuntu yesterday, now some links start a browser called "web" (that is what's in the about page) how do i get rid of this thing ?
[10:32] <wylde> gaelfx: not sure if this will help ---   <IP_ADDRESS>:/home/wylde/print/Print /home/wylde/PDF nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0
[10:33] <wylde> gaelfx: that works for my nfs mount
[10:34] <gaelfx> wylde: ah, it's not nfs4? The ubuntu documentation says to mount it as type nfs4 with options _netdev,auto (but says not to use _netdev on wifi). Maybe it needs updating
[10:34] <vespakoen> found it, it was Epiphany
[10:35] <wylde> gaelfx: yeah it is supposed to be nfs4, however using that as FS wouldn't mount
[10:35] <gaelfx> wylde: thanks, I'll try it and bbs
[10:35] <wylde> gaelfx: alrighty :)
[10:39] <gaelfx> wylde: no dice, I guess maybe I have to check if I really did add my client's hostname to the server's list
[10:39] <wylde> gaelfx: ahh alrighty. :(
[10:40] <foobArrr> I'm looking for a program to take notes in pdfs. what I need: annotations, insert text, simple freehand drawing, arrows, underline/marker.
[10:40] <gaelfx> MonkeyDust: that's in /etc/default/nfs-common, right?
[10:40] <gaelfx> wylde: crap, I'm an idiot
[10:41] <gaelfx> wylde: while we were talking, I guess it got mounted :P
[10:41] <wylde> gaelfx: uht-oh that doesn't sound good lol
[10:41] <wylde> gaelfx: lol :)
[10:41] <jondot> Adzz, its working for me
[10:41] <Adzz> jondot, how are you testing it?
[10:42] <jondot> Adzz, 'java', 'javac'
[10:42] <ericP> what sources should i have for 12.04? i've got a broken dependency on libc6:i386 2.15-0ubuntu10
[10:42] <wylde> foobArrr: 'apt-cache search pdf editor' might yield some choices.
[10:42] <gaelfx> wylde: it does seem to load the file lists incredibly slowly, although when I open a video it plays more or less fine
[10:43] <Adzz> jondot, ok im trying it with Minecraft now :P
[10:43] <gaelfx> actually, that's the problem I was trying to solve when I screwed up fstab
[10:43] <wylde> gaelfx: ahh there may be a difference in performance not being nfs4, I don't need an real performance sine that nfs mount of mine is just a dropbox for pdf's that need to be printed :)
[10:43] <jondot> Adzz, is this minecraft thing free, btw?
[10:43] <wylde> wow, illiterate fingers or what! >.<
[10:44] <gaelfx> wylde: gotcha
[10:44] <Adzz> jondot, i can officialy say THAT I LOVE YOU <3, its finally working and, i think so, i think there is a free account system if you look on there site, its a must have game imho :)
[10:44] <jondot> Adzz, thanks but i didn't write the instructions, just googled it. have fun!
[10:45] <Adzz> jondot, i know but you lead me there, so thanks !
[10:45] <jondot> sure

[10:46] <Adzz> !cookie | jondot
[10:46] <jondot> thanks

[10:47] <jondot> will do!
[10:48] <elspuddy> hi, each time i run the command byobu on my ubuntu server it keeps drawing the stats bit and makes the page go up, how do i fix this ?
[10:56] <blendedbychris> any idea how to fix "reboot" not actually booting, instead it just shuts the system down
[10:59] <cval> Yesterday I updated from 11.10 to 12.04. Everything is fine, but what's happened with Monospace font?
[10:59] <geeko> hi guys.....my father has a weak eye sight ....and in doc(docky) he can't see which icon is active...........so is there a way to make the active icons large .......like it is the case in macintosh
[11:01] <fidel_> geeko: maybe ask in #docky too
[11:02] <fidel_> geeko: considered using another dock as other option? just as additional idea
[11:02] <geeko> which dock u r tryin 2 point at
[11:02] <fidel_> geeko: maybe awn
[11:03] <fidel_> i somehow remember it has several highlight options - but not 100% sure as im not using it either
[11:03] <ericP> could someone with a working precise box tell me if they have ia32-libs 20090808ubuntu35 installed?
[11:03] <Dr_willis> awn has so many options its scary
[11:03] <geeko> i think this feature is not good in awn either
[11:04] <Dr_willis> what feature?
[11:05] <fidel_> Dr_willis: tons of options yep - but afaik it has the one geeko was asking for in the first place. highlight current app
[11:05] <Dr_willis> awn here - puts a little box/shaded box around the selected app that has the focus.
[11:05] <fidel_> Dr_willis: thats just one of several options ;)
[11:05] <Dr_willis> and an arrow  below the icon that have a currently running app.
[11:06] <ericP> mine says depends on ia32-libs-multiarch and ia32-libs-multiarch:i386 20090808ubuntu35 depends on xaw3dg, xaw3dg:i386 1.5+E-18.1ubuntu1 depends on libc6 (>= 2.4) (which is now at libc6:i386 2.15-0ubuntu10)
[11:06] <Dr_willis> I thought Docky had a similer feature.
[11:06] <ericP> also, i'd like to know what version of libc6 is in precise
[11:06] <ericP> (ubuntu 12.04, iirc)
[11:07] <Dr_willis> i was about to install docky.. but i see that would pull in a lot of Mono stuff.. so i will pass on Docky. :)
[11:07] <geeko> actually .....he (my father) can't see the dots on the active app.................
[11:07] <fidel_> ericP: 2.15

[11:08] <ericP> !info ia32-libs-multiarch
[11:09] <fidel_> ericP: you can simply check on the package page also

[11:16] <Dr_willis> Ubuntu is a disrto.. :) so its redundant
[11:17] <Shanth> how to start gdm automatically
[11:18] <Dr_willis> Shanth,  when its isntalled it should ask what xdm to use.. or use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' to select it
[11:19] <Shanth> no, i'm alwactually i need to startx automaticlly how to do it ..
[11:20] <Dr_willis> Shanth,  depends on the details of what yoyu want. You can make gdm or lightdm auto login to a specific user.
[11:20] <Shanth> but after installing gdm does not starts automatically
[11:20] <auronandace> Shanth: make sure grub doesn't have the text option enabled
[11:20] <Dr_willis> what does start?
[11:21] <auronandace> !text | Shanth
[11:21] <andreja> join #smrpo
[11:21] <Dr_willis> on my desktop system i just did a 'sudo apt-get install gdm' and it asked what *dm to use.
[11:22] <Dr_willis> or use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' and select  gdm, or back to whatever other dm you want to try
[11:22] <Shanth> gdm give gui to login , if i run gdm from  terminal it works , but whenever i boot it does not starts automatically
[11:23] <Dr_willis> so when you boot.. what DOES it go to? console? lightdm?
[11:23] <Shanth> console
[11:23] <Dr_willis> like auronandace  mentioned. check your /etc/default/grub to make sure the text option is not enabled.
[11:23] <Dr_willis> was ths a desktop or server install?
[11:24] <Shanth> yes
[11:24] <Shanth> desktop
[11:24] <Dr_willis> was lightdm working?
[11:25] <Shanth> no lightdm is not working
[11:25] <Dr_willis> all i had to do to replace it with gdm here was apt-get install gdm, and select gdm. so not sure what else you may have done
[11:27] <Dr_willis> could try a 'sudo service gdm start' and look for any errors I guess
[11:28] <Shanth> service gdm start no error found the process is running correctly
[11:29] <Dr_willis> try 'restart' perhaps? that may kill off X. :)

[11:33] <alexx__> thanks
[11:34] <Dr_willis> try the text/nomodeset options drdozer1  to see if any mesages are on the screen?

[11:35] <lapion> is there any way to start an upgrade by first downloading all the files needed to upgrade ?
[11:35] <szal> another listalian.. ;)
[11:35] <drdozer1> Dr_willis: i7 desktop
[11:35] <Dr_willis> lapion,  i belie you can do a upgrade by mounting the  alternative installer cd iso file.
[11:36] <drdozer1> it is not booting - it's not attached to the network, nothing written to /var/logs, ...
[11:36] <Dr_willis> drdozer1,  can you ssh into the box after its running?
[11:36] <drdozer1> Dr_willis: no, I can't even ping it
[11:36] <Dr_willis> Hmm. that does sound like a nasty crash
[11:37] <VictorCL> to set a cronjob do how is it :   wget URL  >/dev/null 2>&1   or /dev/null 2>&1
[11:37] <drdozer1> yeah - I can boot from a stick, and have chrooted and updated and refreshed all packages
[11:38] <Dr_willis> what video chipset drdozer1 ?
[11:38] <blaa> Somebody can help me? I did a apt-get upgrade and my apache virtualhosts are not working anymore
[11:38] <blaa> somebody knows what is broken? is this a ubuntu bug?
[11:39] <Dr_willis> blaa,  you could check the bug reports and see of others have simile rissues
[11:39] <drdozer1> geforece 980
[11:39] <szal> drdozer1: doesn't exist, afaik
[11:39] <Hariezg> how to chek my ubuntu version?
[11:39] <Dr_willis> !version
[11:40] <VictorCL>  wget URL  >/dev/null 2>&1   or /dev/null 2>&1 or  -0 /dev/null
[11:40] <MonkeyDust> Hariezg  in a terminal, type lsb_release -sd
[11:40] <VictorCL> whici is the correct one?
[11:40] <drdozer1> sorry, geforce 9800 GT EE
[11:40] <Hariezg> @MonkeyDust ok thanks i'm will try it
