[08:40] <Guest49255> grub goes to which partition, the one with windows? XRS1
[08:40] <XRS1> if you have 4GB RAM, setup a 5GB SWAP and make the rest "/" as ext4
[08:40] <XRS1> it goes to the hard drive that has windows yes
[08:40] <Guest49255> ah ok, gotcha thanks XRS1
[08:41] <zvacet> Guest49255: grub goes to mbr
[08:41] <riqdiiz> I have enabled third parties,added the restricted repos,used apt but nothing seems to work .
[08:41] <Guest49255> so the partition with windows right?
[08:41] <XRS1> typically it should be hda or sda. just make sure whatever it calls the hard drive with windows is what grub is going to (no number)
[08:41] <epic_> riqdiiz: why dont you use vlc, the simple option
[08:41] <Guest49255> perfect, thanks guys
[08:42] <zvacet> Guest49255: I will make 10-15 / rest for /home add swap if it is lap top if it is not max 2GB for swap
[08:43] <Guest49255> just to be sure i do this right, 1st make the unallocated space into the rest of 4gb primary, ext4 mount at / and then do swap with the rest?
[08:44] <zvacet> riqdiiz: enable univere and multiverse repositories
[08:44] <Guest49255> oh, i have 4gb memory
[08:44] <XRS1> no "/" should be almost all the drive, swap should be a little bigger than how much RAM you have
[08:44] <riqdiiz> epic: where can I get it.
[08:44] <epic_> riqdiiz: software centre
[08:44] <XRS1> almost all of the unallocated partition*
[08:44] <tozen> Guest49255: 1Gb is more them enough for swap
[08:44] <Guest49255> kk
[08:44] <zvacet> XRS1: why are you against /home partition
[08:45] <Guest49255> primary or logical for the ext partition?
[08:45] <epic_> primary
[08:45] <zvacet> Guest49255: doesn´t matter
[08:45] <Guest49255> awesome sorry bout all the q's  i just want to be sure i get it right
[08:45] <Guest49255> thanks again
[08:45] <XRS1> for a first time install, its usually easier to setup it all as root untill you understand how the system works
[08:45] <Guest49255> im not a noob, its just been awhile
[08:45] <tuxtoti> this is something trivial. I use gnome-terminal on ubuntu. I open a lot of tabs.
[08:45] <tuxtoti>  Its very tough to find the active tab on the top. It is highlighted but very subtle.
[08:46] <tozen> Guest49255: it's not a point for linux what the partition
[08:46] <tuxtoti> is there a way to make it more prominent ?
[08:46] <XRS1> okay if you understand how it works, it is best to have a seperate /home partition or drive. makes life easier
[08:46] <Guest49255> i always mount at /
[08:47] <zvacet> Guest49255 : maybe you want to read  http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p22.html
[08:47] <epic_> XRS1 : right!
[08:47] <XRS1> night all
[08:47] <Guest49255> ill check it out
[08:48] <zvacet> XRS1: and then you find out that is good to have separate /home and you reinstall  :'(
[08:48] <tuxtoti> nevermind found a way. http://askubuntu.com/questions/40332/how-to-make-selected-tab-in-terminal-more-prominent
[08:48] <epic_> zvacet : Reinstallation is not needed. It can be done with gparted
[08:48] <XRS1> well by the time i figured that out back in the day, a new dist upgrade was available
[08:48] <tozen> Guest49255: my recommendation is 1Gb for swap, 10Gb / and keep the rest for /home on separate partition
[08:49] <zvacet> epic_: you are right
[08:49] <XRS1> the partitioning setup works best different ways for different uses.   set it up how it works best for you
[08:49] <zvacet> tozen: +1
[08:50] <epic_> tozen: +1
[08:50] <tozen> good to know i'm not alone lol
[08:52] <epic_> supertux kart game is fun!
[08:52] <riqdiiz> epic: I really don't know how to install it after I've downloaded it
[08:53] <epic_> what you have downloaded ?
[08:53] <riqdiiz> the tar.gz .
[08:54] <epic_> riqdiiz : go to software updater from dash - then check for update -> then install it . Do this first.
[08:54] <epic_> put the the file in home directory
[08:55] <Guest31821> could someone guide me to change folder's theme in ubuntu studio 12.4 , tx
[08:56] <AdvoWork> for some reason,ive just pressed something but I dont know what, ive lost the surround of my firefox, and terminal, basically the top navigation/bottom have totally dissapeared.any idea how to restore these? ive restarted them but same problem so not sure what ive done..
[08:56] <epic_> riqdiiz: open terminal and enter this  - > tar -xzf filename.tar.gz
[08:56] <epic_> advowork : f11
[08:57] <Guest31821> could someone guide me to change folder's theme in ubuntu studio 12.4
[08:57] <epic_> download ubuntu unity tweak
[08:58] <Cache_Money> I'm trying to install XAMPP but I'm getting this error: "gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file"  Following this tutorial http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781449339739/k_00000004.html
[08:58] <Guest31821> studi is xfce , then why unity?
[08:58] <Cache_Money> Why would I be getting this error?
[08:58] <jerardwack> Hi. Who know how to in console create torrent from folder
[09:00] <zvacet> riqdiiz: try this way sudo apt-get install synaptic
[09:00] <AdvoWork> epic_, f11 is full screen?
[09:00] <roger21> hi, i updated to 12.04 and transmission don't connect to https tracker anymore, is there some new thingy in 12.04 like a firewall or something?
[09:01] <epic_> advowork : yes
[09:01] <epic_> roger21 : Never ever update - > just do fresh install
[09:01] <epic_> roger21 : then problem wont arise
[09:01] <zvacet> riqdiiz:then in synaptic>sttings>repositories>updates check first two and then close and reload
[09:02] <AdvoWork> epic_, that isnt the problem??
[09:02] <roger21> i love this chat
[09:02] <zvacet> riqdiiz:after that in synaptic search box type ubuntu-restricted-extras and when you find package install it
[09:03] <epic_> advowork : then i think you got the same problem like i had previous month.  I didnt find the solution, so i reinstalld it
[09:04] <Zenger> Hello guys, I need to expand a drive from unallocated but I cant.
[09:04] <zhufeng_> you can try ADDS
[09:04] <Zenger> i have a 100mb MBR, 20 gb NTFS, 100GB NTFS, and 70 GB NTFS, the trick is I must not delete 100GB
[09:04] <llutz> jerardwack: mktorrent -o path/file.torrent /dir
[09:05] <Zenger> I need to expand the 20gb from 70 unallocated
[09:05] <Zenger> but unallocated is located after the very important 100GB
[09:05] <Zenger> (using gparted)
[09:05] <jerardwack> llutz: thank you very much! I
[09:05] <ksi> help
[09:05] <jerardwack> i'll tried it now
[09:06] <Eagleman> My machine is getting usernames and passwords from ldap, when i shutdown slapd it is unable to recieve specific users using getent shadow and getent passwd. Now on my main server some users are able to login using their slapd credentials but on the others they are not, and i am a bit confused how this could happen
[09:07] <roger21> so every trackers work except for taht one (and the tracker is fine itself) what could it be?
[09:08] <Cache_Money> epic_:  I'm still getting the error message "gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file"
[09:08] <roger21> how do i setup the scroll amount of the mousewheel?
[09:09] <riqdiiz> it actually
[09:10] <ant_> Anyone know if any NFS mount defaults have changed in quantal? Am finding I can't exec shell scripts on NFS mounts
[09:10] <roger21> !mousewheel
[09:10] <roger21> !mouse
[09:10] <roger21> !scroll
[09:10] <roger21> !wheel
[09:10] <riqdiiz> it actually download nothing :(
[09:10] <Cache_Money> epic_: I'm trying to learn d3.js, one thing I need to do is install a local server.  So, the tutorial is asking me to download/install XAMPP for Ubuntu.  I've downloaded the tar file but keep getting an error message when trying to untar
[09:11] <epic_> cache_money: are you doing with terminal or software
[09:12] <riqdiiz> says 'server not reachable....'
[09:13] <Cache_Money> epic_: the terminal
[09:13] <Jordan_U> Cache_Money: It's much easier to install LAMP via apt-get / deselect than it is via XAMPP. While it might diverge from the guide, I recommend that you install LAMP normally (note also that installing LAMP normally is all that this channel supports).
[09:13] <Jordan_U> !lamp | Cache_Money
[09:18] <riqdiiz> epic: could it be that the servers nolonger support 9.04?
[09:20] <julie101010> would anyone have a clue why this ubuntu machine is about 2 minutes late compared to all my other systems, whilst it is set automatically?
[09:22] <Jordan_U> riqdiiz: Yes, Ubuntu 9.04 has been EOL for a *long* time. Upgrade immediately.
[09:22] <niranjan_> Hi folks, looking for help using my compiled so library against using the pre-installed one. Need to figure why one piece of code is crashing - dumping core
[09:23] <epic_> riqdiiz: yeah
[09:23] <epic_> update it to 12.04 or 12.10
[09:23] <julie101010> this is not 9 but how do I get the version?
[09:23] <Cache_Money> Jordan_U: I ran this command: $ sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql mysql-server .  Is this similar to XAMPP
[09:23] <Cache_Money> ?
[09:24] <k1l_> julie101010: which ubuntu are you running there?
[09:25] <julie101010> I think it's 11 but where can I check?
[09:25] <niranjan_> julie101010: I don't know why this problem happens, but happens to me also on 12.10
[09:25] <k1l_> julie101010: "lsb_release -a"
[09:25] <riqdiiz> poor me! as of upgrading ,ill have to make do with my 9.04 for quite sometime ....I use dial up :'(
[09:25] <niranjan_> I am forced to use ntpdate command every day
[09:25] <Cache_Money> The d3.js tutorial I'm following is telling me I need to run a localserver to serve up my content.  Where do I need to put my project folder in order for the apache2 server to serve it up?
[09:25] <julie101010> got 12.04
[09:26] <epic_> riqdiiz: download from cafe
[09:26] <k1l_> julie101010: try "sudo ntpdate -u ntp.ubuntu.com "
[09:27] <riqdiiz> very expensive here as they also use dial up.
[09:27] <Jordan_U> riqdiiz: Even with dial up you should be able to download an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS iso in less than a week.
[09:30] <riqdiiz> they assign  you a different IP before you know it.
[09:30] <Jordan_U> riqdiiz: Use wget, then you can continue partial downloads.
[09:30] <jerardwack> after week-downloading ubuntu, you need more one week for get updates :)
[09:31] <Jordan_U> riqdiiz: And when you do upgrade, go for 12.04 LTS, as that will be supported for much longer than 12.10 (or any other version until the next LTS release).
[09:32] <tonyyarusso> Jordan_U, riqdiiz: Yeah, you can even finish in under a week if you kill the wget process during times of day when people are going to need the line, and just do it overnight.  (That's how I downloaded 5.04)
[09:32] <jerardwack> and when you do upgrade will come new release ubuntu, and you start downloading them
[09:32] <Jordan_U> jerardwack: Right now they're running 9.04 with security vulnerabilities that have been known for years. Ubuntu 12.04.1, even with no updates, is far better.
[09:33] <jerardwack> I think more simple find ubuntu release in town where he lives
[09:33] <nsr> kya ho raha hai bhai logo ?
[09:34] <brontosaurusrex> just follow the man with longest beard
[09:34] <Cache_Money> Is this the correct (most efficient?) command to start an Apache2 server?  $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[09:35] <cakeboss> Hey guys. I am trying to install urllib2, can this be done with pip?
[09:35] <somsip> Cache_Money: sudo service apache2 start
[09:35] <riqdiiz> that's the worst! they sell only bread and tea leaves here!;-) jerardwack
[09:35] <epic_> cache_money : yes
[09:35] <Cache_Money> somsip: And I put my files in /var/www/  ??
[09:35] <somsip> Cache_Money: you put them where your docroot is. By default, it is /var/www
[09:35] <brontosaurusrex> Cache_Money: service apache start < may also work
[09:36] <gordonjcp> riqdiiz: where are you?
[09:36] <riqdiiz> remote part of kenya.
[09:37] <gordonjcp> riqdiiz: what's the postal service like out where you are?
[09:37] <epic_> we can send you dvd
[09:37] <riqdiiz> the only available here
[09:38] <riqdiiz> epic I'd really appreciate.
[09:39] <il_matto> Yop all
[09:40] <epic_> should i send u
[09:42] <bennypr0fane> hello, I'm trying to rip the sound track of an .mp4 video file to mp3 using ffmpeg. I get this ouput: "Encoder (codec id 86017) not found for output stream #0.0" Does that mean I don't have mp3 codec on my system? cause sorta sounds silly to me ...with Rhythmbox coming ootb in Ubuntu it's gotta be present, right? I used basically this command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ab 128 -ar 44100 output.mp3
[09:43] <cnf> hmz
[09:43] <cnf> too bad i can't run kvm in virtualbox
[09:45] <t432> Something has gone terribly wrong with my system. When try to type something, it either does not recognise the key or does completely something else then the whole system tries shuts down but hang.
[09:46] <stueng> hi, does anyone know what might cause mount.nfs: mount system call failed when trying to mount an NFS export from a Windows 2012 Storage Server ?
[09:46] <riqdiiz> epic_ I have sent you the details.
[09:46] <MonkeyDust> cakeboss  type ffmpeg -formats | grep mp
[09:46] <t432> Would it be possible to recover to a previous state?
[09:47] <epic_> riqdiiz : got thaat
[09:47] <MonkeyDust> bennypr0fane  type ffmpeg -formats | grep mp <-- addressed wrong guy, sorry
[09:50] <nsr> Ubuntu sucks :(
[09:50] <riqdiiz> epic_  thanks.
[09:50] <k1l_> !language | nsr
[09:51] <nsr> ok sorry I have problem with my ubuntu installations
[09:51] <k1l_> !ask | nsr
[09:53] <dathui> nsr: if you tell the channel what the specific problem is and ask nicely are much more likely to help than if you insult their os of choice. just a thought :)
[09:54] <newbee> hello
[09:54] <bennypr0fane> Mopnkeydust: http://pastebin.com/pivKJm0R
[09:54] <newbee> i need some help with my  server
[09:54] <bennypr0fane> Monkeydust: http://pastebin.com/pivKJm0R
[09:55] <newbee> anyone ?
[09:56] <dathui> newbee: if you're a bit more specific people will (probably) help, if they know the answer
[09:56] <gordonjcp> !help | newbee
[09:56] <newbee> ok sorry ppl
[09:57] <MonkeyDust> bennypr0fane  mp3 is there, it should work, try without all the options, just for a test -- also consider using avconv, same syntax as ffmpeg
[09:57] <newbee> i need help with my server, for couple of days i can not access my web sites but ssh is working fine when i restart apache everything works for couple of minutes and then again sites are unreachable
[09:58] <newbee> i asked my host support to help me but they do not administrate
[09:58] <k1l_> newbee: did you look into the logs? what ubuntu are you running exactly?
[09:58] <newbee> the only thig they send me is this mesage : THe problem is simple. The proccess sftp-server it using 100% of disk I/O and this way any other program cannot work:
[09:58] <newbee> ubuntu 10.4
[09:59] <dathui> does killing the ftp-server help?
[10:00] <newbee> i do not know how to kill it :(
[10:00] <newbee> i don't know much about linux
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> newbee  there's also #ubuntu-server
[10:01] <steveccc> hi all - I wanted to take some jpg's  images and combine them into a slideshow with fade transitions and then output this as a video. Thus I thought there may be a piece of software for ubuntu which could output a video - could anyone suggest a good one
[10:01] <dathui> newbee: first list all the processes with ps -aX, then you can use grep to find sftp-server (ps -aX | grep "sftp-server") check the process id, the column to the left, and then try "kill that_id", replace that_id with the correct id.
[10:01] <bennypr0fane> Monkeydust how do I get avconv? it's not in the repo and on there page they don't offer a .deb for download it seems
[10:02] <Jordan_U> bennypr0fane: What version of Ubuntu are you using? It's certainly available in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.
[10:02] <auronandace> steveccc: i like openshot
[10:03] <newbee> ok thank you, but why is this hapening ? is it some kind of hack?
[10:03] <steveccc> auronandace: what type of software is it - video or more presentation?
[10:03] <auronandace> steveccc: a video editor, you can work with pictures in it too
[10:03] <dathui> newbee: my guess is a bug or badly configured server, or you or your host are using it in a weird way.
[10:04] <newbee> and how can i fix this?
[10:04] <TeamColtra> newbee what do you do on your server? only a website? Apache? PHP?
[10:05] <newbee> websites with php
[10:05] <FindtheKindness> I there all I am trying to trouble shoot a little arduino usb programmer where the usb interface is showing up intermittently and every time it shows backup Ubuntu is giving it a new serial port number. Show my question is; is there a way of asigning a static port number to a specific device in Ubuntu?
[10:05] <llutz> !info photofilmstrip | steveccc
[10:05] <k1l_> i think he got a vserver and is at the limit of the specs.
[10:05] <steveccc> auronandace: just installing it now
[10:05] <bennypr0fane> Jordan_U: 12.04, Lubuntu though
[10:05] <Jordan_U> bennypr0fane: Lubuntu uses the same repositories. "sudo apt-get install libav-tools".
[10:05] <TeamColtra> newbee paste the results of this into pastie.org: tail -n 20 /var/log/apache/error.log
[10:05] <dathui> newbee: if killing the sftp-server helps i would recommend either checking into the config or switching ftp server.
[10:06] <bennypr0fane> Jordan_U that is installed
[10:06] <bennypr0fane> here's the complete output of my command : http://pastebin.com/reg83VJA
[10:06] <bennypr0fane> changed it a little
[10:06] <TeamColtra> newbee actually that should be apache2
[10:07] <TeamColtra> also paste the output of "top"
[10:07] <Jordan_U> bennypr0fane: You said you wanted avconv, but you're using ffmpeg. What problem are you having with running avconv?
[10:07] <steveccc> llutz: thanks - looks perfect
[10:08] <bennypr0fane> output from avconv is exactly the same as in ffmpeg
[10:08] <MonkeyDust> bennypr0fane  simply type ffmpeg -i infile.mp4 outfile.mp3 <-- no options added, see if it shows the same error
[10:09] <bennypr0fane> same error it seems to think mp3 is not present
[10:09] <newbee> ok how can i send you the file
[10:09] <bennypr0fane> I gotta go, thanks though. have a good day!

[10:15] <RichardH> Hi. Does nayone know of a keyboar dmapping for a Lenovo W520 (UK model), to use with Ubuntu 12.10, please?
[10:16] <auronandace> RichardH: what do you mean keyboard mapping? just use the uk layout
[10:17] <dathui> newbee: did you run "tail -n 20 ..."? it should just give you 20 lines.
[10:17] <auronandace> RichardH: you select the layout in the installer
[10:17] <newbee> no how do i do that? in apache?
[10:18] <RichardH> auronandace: Thanks. Sorry, flapped when I didn't see a layout that matches the Lenovo's keyboard. Actually testing keys adjacent to enter shows they map corretly!
[10:18] <RichardH> Doh!
[10:18] <dathui> in a terminal, TeamColtra pasted the command. "tail -n 20 /var/log/apache2/error.log" or similar, I'm not sure about the path.
[10:19] <dathui> and also the output from the command "top"
[10:19] <TeamColtra> top is probably going to be more helpful
[10:19] <TeamColtra> let me log into my ubuntu server and see what the correct apache error log path is
[10:19] <MonkeyDust> try htop
[10:20] <newbee> ok i got it how do i copy the text?
[10:21] <TeamColtra> newbee what are you using to access SSH? putty? terminal?
[10:21] <newbee> bitvise tunnelier
[10:23] <adknight87_> Okay guys I have a onboard SSD 8 Gig drive on my laptop can I use that for my swap and how can I do that to test it out?
[10:23] <dathui> newbee if it handles clipboard you can try marking text with your mouse and then using ctrl-v in windows.
[10:23] <vlt> adknight87_: mkswap, swapon
[10:24] <adknight87_> vit: I have a existing swap
[10:24] <newbee> no i can not selec it
[10:25] <TeamColtra> newbee I don't know how, I am sure it has some copy/paste function but it's not a standard SSH client so I am not too helpful here
[10:25] <newbee> ok i did it
[10:25] <TeamColtra> You could screenshot it

[10:27] <dathui> newbee your php code seems a bit buggy but that shouldn't affect things this way. what's the output from top?
[10:29] <newbee> well then i do not know what can i do
[10:29] <newbee> i was afraid that it is ddos attack

[10:31] <nikolam> In New GUI and whole system.
[10:32] <nikolam> Last time I managed that is when disabling Ubuntu one service in Ubuntu 10.04.
[10:33] <nikolam> What are all programs, services and setting I can manage in Ubuntu 12.10 to stop private information going out of computer during use and that are included in Ubuntu default installation?
[10:36] <_bt> nikolam: here's one: sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping
[10:36] <nikolam> I found sending my keystrokes and searches to third parties by default (facebook, twitter,amazon etc) very disturbing and bad anti-user practice. And I would like Canonical to stop that id it wants me to recommend Ubuntu to anyone.
[10:37] <nikolam> _bt, thank you . I am also annoyed with shopping offers in my main user interface for my own OS, outside shopping centre/programs app.
[10:38] <gordonjcp> nikolam: I quite like it
[10:38] <cakeboss> nikolam: I don't like it either. I think it is a necessary evil in a way.
[10:39] <cakeboss> Make ubuntu more mainstream and generate revenue for the ubuntu team to develop further etc.
[10:39] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I like it inside Shopping centre/Ubuntu software centre. But it does not have anything to do with my productivity, therefore it is a big minus.
[10:40] <nikolam> cakeboss, I think it is enough to have them displayed in bottom of software center by default. but it is annoying enough to offer non-free software in free software OS. Let alone putting those on my main user interface could be classified as too much aggressive advertising, Maybe even illegal in some places.
[10:40] <shang> anyone knows what these two line does in the interfaces file? "    up ifconfig $IFACE <IP_ADDRESS> up
[10:40] <shang>     down ifconfig $IFACE down"
[10:42] <nikolam> $IFACE is I think some default interface, previously determined in script/ value and <IP_ADDRESS> designate that interface can contact with every network etc.
[10:42] <adknight87_> Okay how do I find the hard drives uuid?
[10:43] <nikolam> adknight87_, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid  or other by-* dirs
[10:45] <adknight87_> ty
[10:45] <Guest31436> hoi
[10:46] <nikolam> cakeboss, It is not question of just revenue. It is question of my privacy being selled in main OS GUI to some third party companies directly, together with my IP address. And forcing users to watch advertising in their regular everyday work. Like Ubuntu is moving advertising OS.
[10:46] <Guest31436> is dit niet in het nederlands
[10:46] <nikolam> It is like free software turning against user interests in Ubuntu now.
[10:47] <adknight87_> So how do I merge to partitions?
[10:47] <adknight87_> two^
[10:48] <grzywacz> adknight87_, empty or used?
[10:48] <nikolam> adknight87_, maybe firstly making backup of both data, moving data from one partition to another , destroying second and then making first partition bigger?
[10:48] <shang> nikolam: thanks
[10:48] <Guest31436> gaat er nog iemand een antwoord geven
[10:49] <adknight87_> nikolam: Well one's my os partition and the second is the old swap partition
[10:49] <almoxarife> !nl
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> Guest31436  stel je vrager liever in het nederlands
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> in het engels*
[10:49] <MonkeyDust> ;)
[10:49] <Guest31436> hoe kom ik daar dan
[10:49] <nikolam> adknight87_, I would suggest leaving swap where it is?
[10:50] <adknight87_> nikolam: I have a on board 8 gig SSD
[10:50] <MonkeyDust> Guest31436  type /join #ubuntu-nl
[10:50] <Relaed> hello
[10:51] <nikolam> adknight87_, I don't know, but I personally get used to have swap. I think it is used when computer hibernates, too.
[10:51] <Guest31436> fijn doei
[10:52] <adknight87_> nikolam: I'm switching the location to my on board SSD drive that's embedded to the laptops board. I just haven't been using the storage so I figure I could try and utilize the space while the ram being 8 gig's itself I see no problem with the switch. Do you understand what I'm doing. I'm only asking here so I don't go screwing up and save myself hours of headaches
[10:54] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys, i have root access to my development server and i would like to add myself to sftp users
[10:54] <Wiz_KeeD> can anyone help me with that? all i can tell for now is that sftp is isntalled
[10:54] <Wiz_KeeD> because if i insert sftp in console it brings up data about it
[10:55] <adknight87_> LOL he just quit no response.
[10:56] <adknight87_> If I don't come back the swap didn't work lol
[10:57] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: you have sftpd running on the server, you want to access it via sftp , yes?
[10:57] <Wiz_KeeD> almoxarife, i have root access on the box, it has sftp installed and i need to push a branch using bzr (Version Control System) to the server from my local computer using sftp
[10:58] <Wiz_KeeD> for that i need a sftp account username and password
[10:59] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: your sftp account is username@ip where sftpd resides, you running kde?
[11:00] <Wiz_KeeD> not that good with the linux environment
[11:00] <Wiz_KeeD> both boxes (my development environment and the server) run ubuntu
[11:00] <Wiz_KeeD> is that gnome?
[11:00] <Wiz_KeeD> or am i not even close?
[11:00] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: it may be
[11:00] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: gnome or unity
[11:01] <Wiz_KeeD> so i've got it at least :D
[11:01] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: are you doing this via a gui or terminal?
[11:01] <Wiz_KeeD> terminal almoxarife
[11:04] <almoxarife> Wiz_KeeD: ok, your user name is same as your user on server, password same as user pass on server
[11:04] <nikolam> If anyone knows how to stop sending my IP address and my searches inside new Ubutnu GUi to third parties, please say.
[11:04] <dragosta> Hey everyone, I am struggling to get my AR3013 BLUETOOTH adapter working on ubuntu 12.10. This is on an Aspire S3 laptop. I have googled, and linlap'd to no avail. Any suggestions? LSPCI doesn't seem to recognise it and i'm not sure where to turn
[11:05] <nikolam> dragosta, lsusb?
[11:05] <almoxarife> nikolam: interesting, what gathers your ip within ubuntu?
[11:05] <dragosta> nikolam, i'll give that a go
[11:05] <gaz67> !search glee
[11:06] <Wiz_KeeD> almoxarife, yeah i thought as much but it didn't work, but then i checked my groups and i am only in root group
[11:06] <dragosta> nikolam, no, lsusb fails to return the device
[11:06] <nikolam> almoxarife, User interface itself . every your search sends it up to canonical and directly to named third parties.
[11:07] <nikolam> dragosta, well it is connected to some bus. try to identify where.
[11:07] <gordonjcp> dragosta: it'll be usb, so try lsusb ;-)
[11:08] <nikolam> almoxarife, there is <i> button on the bottom of the menu with programs.
[11:08] <almoxarife> nikolam: search? via what?
[11:08] <nikolam> almoxarife, when you enter anything inside dash home.
[11:10] <nikolam> see "search in the dash" - legal notice. , file://usr/share/unity/searchingthedashlegalnotice.html
[11:10] <almoxarife> nikolam: your intention when doing so is not an internet search via some search engine?
[11:10] <pajak> asia kocham cie
[11:11] <nikolam> almoxarife, exactly. My intention is to use my OS. And Canonical intention is to give my personal usage to third parties.
[11:11] <almoxarife> nikolam: that assumes i have the file at the link location, i dont
[11:11] <MonkeyDust> pajak  what's your language?
[11:11] <nikolam> together with my IP address.
[11:11] <dragosta> gordonjcp, only six things return from lsusb, one of which is my soundcard, two are "Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub", and some other already branded devices. the only Atheros chip i can find is in LSPCI and that is my WIFI card
[11:11] <ubuntu__> wonchej
[11:11] <gordonjcp> yeah, it won't be pci
[11:11] <nikolam> almoxarife, If you use unity, click on "I" button on the bottom of Dash home menu.
[11:12] <nikolam> on the right-down corner
[11:12] <almoxarife> nikolam: perhaps then you need to use some other OS which meets your standards of personal security
[11:12] <Asia_> ciota
[11:12] <pajak> ssij
[11:13] <pajak> pokaz cycki
[11:13] <Asia_> umyj dupe
[11:13] <pajak> tyz cie kocham
[11:13] <Asia_> fajnie
[11:13] <pajak> wiem
[11:13] <ant_> hmm, it seems all my NFS mounts on quantal have "noexec" despite "exec" being a mount option...
[11:13] <pajak> uwies mi sie na gitarze
[11:13] <nikolam> almoxarife, seems that it have nothing to do with "standards of personal security" it have to do with destroying every Ubuntu user's privacy. And security is tighted with privacy, yes.
[11:13] <almoxarife> nikolam: or install wireshark, see who is getting what and add rules via a firewall to keep them from receiving it, that could keep you busy for a while
[11:14] <nikolam> Ubuntu is just not safe for it's own users. Canonical is betraying users.
[11:14] <nikolam> almoxarife, that is a good idea
[11:14] <almoxarife> nikolam: thats an opinion, i have none
[11:14] <nikolam> But I get used to TRUST Ubuntu and Linux not to spy on me.
[11:15] <almoxarife> nikolam: never trust
[11:15] <adknight87> Well that worked
[11:15] <adknight87> FU yea on board ssd being utilized as swap
[11:15] <nikolam> Btw, I always turn ON installed programs list sending to Canonical to help them understand usage cases and programs statistics for distribution. I don't trust third parties!
[11:16] <ant_> I can't seem to force "exec" on nfs mounts since quantal - anyone know how to force it or what changed?
[11:16] <adknight87> Sounds like someone doesn't like other peoples work
[11:17] <adknight87> almoxarife:  I can't resize a operating system partition while actively on it can I?
[11:17] <almoxarife> nikolam: no
[11:17] <almoxarife> adknight87: no :)
[11:18] <nikolam> almoxarife, it is displayed in Dash legal notice that it is sending dash usage ot third parties. A fact.
[11:18] <rumpe1> adknight87, depends on the file system... usually not.
[11:18] <nikolam> aha :)
[11:18] <MonkeyDust> adknight87  like you cant mend a car while driving it
[11:18] <epic_> adknight87:  yes u can
[11:18] <TeamColtra> My computer has been randomly turning off, at first I thought it was because it was overheating (which it has a history of doing) but now I have it sitting vertically  (it's for my media centre so I don't need it to be laying properly) and it still will turn itself off. So I was googling and it said it could be a memory problem, so I put it through memtest and at 47% complete… it started failing every address. So then I removed a stick of RAm
[11:18] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: yes, you can
[11:18] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: you just won't get useful results
[11:18] <almoxarife> nikolam: i have no interest in your contractual issues with conical, thnks
[11:18] <TeamColtra> Tried it again, and at 47% it failed out. So I swapped the ram tried the other one… and at 47% it failed out. So no matter what I do, my memtest fails out at 47% is there something else I can try? Does this mean something?
[11:19] <adknight87> MonkeyDust: I beg to differ on that one depends on the damage on the vehicle :P Military service anything can happen on the fly
[11:19] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: if you resize an actively mounted filesystem, you can generate some really entertaining problems
[11:19] <almoxarife> adknight87: dont you keep 'gparted' around for a rainy day?
[11:19] <gordonjcp> TeamColtra: failing motherboard?  crud in the slots?  weird BIOS settings particularly with regard to RAM timing?
[11:19] <gordonjcp> TeamColtra: sheer bad luck?
[11:20] <almoxarife> gordonjcp: so the answer is still 'no' ?
[11:20] <adknight87> almoxarife: How do you think I got the swap location changed
[11:20] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: well, it depends what you want ;-)
[11:20] <almoxarife> adknight87: so do it again, resize the what ever is not big or small enough for your taste
[11:21] <adknight87> almoxarife: I'm too lazy to reboot into the live disk
[11:21] <nikolam> almoxarife, those are contractual issues with every Ubuntu user woth Canonical, when Unity Dash is betraying thair privacy to third parties. Ok, no telling just to you.
[11:22] <adknight87> nikolam: hmm linux? just block the outgoing addresses linked to the application that's sending out your information.
[11:22] <almoxarife> nikolam: can we agree to not discuss it further? thnks
[11:22] <adknight87> xD
[11:23] <invariant> nikolam, you do trust thousands of people if you use Linux.
[11:23] <adknight87> REDUNDANT isn't it.
[11:23] <adknight87> Anyways I'll brb I've got some gparted and a usb stick to shove in a receptacle
[11:24] <nikolam> almoxarife, well I can agree not to discuss it with you.
[11:24] <invariant> To some degree that trust is earned, since you don't hear every day about 0 day exploits for most Linux systems.
[11:24] <gordonjcp> nikolam: have you actually studied how the Amazon plugin works, or are you just mouthing off about stuff you read on phoronix?
[11:24] <almoxarife> nikolam: that would be great
[11:24] <invariant> gordonjcp, why don't you tell us?
[11:24] <nikolam> But the issue is still there. And I am looking for solution to turn off Dash and Unity sending my private system usage to third party companies.
[11:24] <gordonjcp> invariant: about what?
[11:25] <nikolam> for all users on system by default.
[11:25] <gordonjcp> nikolam: uninstall the amazon plugin, if you don't like it
[11:25] <invariant> gordonjcp, about what Dash and or Unity do by default.
[11:25] <gordonjcp> invariant: I don't care what they do by default
[11:25] <gordonjcp> invariant: they can transmit what I type directly to a team of stunt aircraft who write it in the sky with smoke trails, for all I care
[11:25] <invariant> gordonjcp, you said mouthing off about stuff you read on phoronix.
[11:25] <nikolam> so beside unity-lens-shopping , there is also amazon plugin to remove.. Thanks gordonjcp
[11:25] <almoxarife> gordonjcp: i am almost ready to toss phoronix, if anyone spams they do, and i do a pretty go job of catching spam before i have to see it'
[11:26] <gordonjcp> nikolam: yes, unity-lens-shopping, that's the thing
[11:26] <gordonjcp> invariant: yeah, it seems that everyone that whines about it has read the same article and actually doesn't know much about what's going on at all
[11:26] <invariant> gordonjcp, the way I understand it the criticism is well founded.
[11:26] <nikolam> invariant, click on <i> on boddom on dash to inform on dash/unity legal notices
[11:26] <gordonjcp> invariant: I like the amazon plugin <shrug>
[11:26] <invariant> nikolam, I don't use Unity.
[11:27] <gordonjcp> it's useful, and it helps keep the lights on for the Ubuntu team
[11:27] <gordonjcp> nikolam: you're also free to pick a different DE or even a different distro
[11:27] <gordonjcp> nikolam: or for that matter a different OS
[11:27] <invariant> gordonjcp, you did not respond to what I asked.
[11:27] <OerHeks> invariant, if you don't use unity, stop the rant please.
[11:27] <gordonjcp> invariant: I didn't see you ask a question
[11:27] <almoxarife> DE, distro, OS, its all so confusing
[11:27] <invariant> OerHeks, I am not ranting. Please follow the subject.
[11:27] <nikolam> invariant, dashhome>I on bottom
[11:28] <adknight87> MY question before I go is WHY should he have to worry about that if he isn't doing anything wrong?
[11:28] <gordonjcp> invariant: it's probably more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:28] <invariant> OerHeks, I just asked why gordonjcp believes that nikolam is just copying things off phoronix without understanding.
[11:28] <gordonjcp> invariant: oh, I answered that
[11:28] <almoxarife> adknight87: dont you like to worry?
[11:28] <invariant> gordonjcp, it seems very on-topic to me.
[11:28] <gordonjcp> invariant: it's not a support-related discussion, so it's offtopic for the support channel
[11:28] <nikolam> gordonjcp, It is not the point. the point it to have clean solution to turn it off. Since I would recommending Ubuntu to users. And to try to make users aware of that. And at the end maybe canging ways Canonical trat users now.
[11:29] <adknight87> almoxarife: Why I'm aware and know what to do but we aren't the ones the good guys are looking to book
[11:29] <adknight87> :P
[11:29] <adknight87> Again fruitful thought.
[11:29] <invariant> gordonjcp, in an actual company, it would be a support question.
[11:29] <adknight87> brb
[11:29] <gordonjcp> nikolam: the recommendation is to use Amazon through Unity, and pay back some of the support and development costs ;-)
[11:29] <invariant> gordonjcp, it doesn't say 'technical support' in the topic.
[11:29] <nikolam> invariant, I just installed Ubuntu. and found out that it is spying on me. I were not on Phoronix.
[11:29] <invariant> gordonjcp, it is completely on-topic.
[11:29] <gordonjcp> nikolam: then install something else
[11:29] <invariant> gordonjcp, you are just avoiding the question.
[11:30] <dragosta> I have managed to find something to do with Bluetooth after doing cat /var/log/dmesg: http://pastebin.com/0PL8KAes
[11:30] <gordonjcp> invariant: I answered your question twice.
[11:30] <nikolam> gordonjcp, Nope. I see no contract between me and amazon to send them my Desktop usage.
[11:30] <gordonjcp> nikolam: then use something else
[11:30] <invariant> nikolam, you said something; you didn't answer the question.
[11:30] <invariant> gordonjcp, that was for you.
[11:30] <dragosta> still, none of the applets seem to detect it
[11:30] <gordonjcp> invariant: okay, since you have trouble understanding it
[11:30] <almoxarife> i am assuming that one who uses a conical product, ie; ubuntu, entered into a contractual agreement with same said organization, one does have the option to not use the product, short of that the argument is mute, :)
[11:31] <nikolam> gordonjcp, nope. Contributing is a way of making Ubuntu better. Exactly what I am trying. And to seek solution to that particular problem.
[11:31] <joris> Hi. Can I set a full hostname in /etc/hostname such as mydomain.com ?
[11:31] <gordonjcp> invariant: everybody that complains about the Amazon shopping lens seems to make reference to the same article in Phoronix where they launched into their usual anti-Unity ranting
[11:31] <nikolam> It was similar like removing ubuntu one in 10.04 to not sharing my IP address.
[11:31] <almoxarife> joris: yes you can
[11:31] <joris> thank you
[11:31] <invariant> nikolam, for new users, it is spying, I agree.  However, once you are made aware of it, you can easily turn it off.
[11:32] <gordonjcp> invariant: therefore, I tend to assume that *anyone* whining about unity-lens-shopping is doing so because they read the Phoronix article, and not because they actually dug into it
[11:32] <gordonjcp> nikolam: oh, come on
[11:32] <joris> can I put multiple ones in there? like production, production.mydomain.com and mydomain.com ?
[11:32] <gordonjcp> "share my IP address"
[11:32] <gordonjcp> nikolam: do you know how IP works?
[11:32] <gordonjcp> you're sharing your IP address now
[11:32] <OerHeks> great, invariant you give the answer to your own question. now we can move on.
[11:32] <nikolam> invariant, well that is what exactly what is needed, for me and other to understand how to turn that spying off.
[11:32] <nikolam> gordonjcp, yes.
[11:32] <invariant> gordonjcp, you still haven't answered the question.
[11:33] <invariant> gordonjcp, you are only projecting your assumptions; something I could not care less about.
[11:33] <gordonjcp> invariant: in which case I clearly don't understand your question
[11:33] <nikolam> gordonjcp, nope. i use TOR and xchat addon to use Tor/onion network to use freenode.
[11:33] <gordonjcp> nikolam: yeah, you're really easy to trace
[11:33] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys
[11:33] <invariant> gordonjcp, why is it wrong what the phoronix article says?
[11:33] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i create a directory using another user when in root so i don't have to chown and stuff?
[11:33] <gordonjcp> nikolam: I know where you are down to the dslam you're on
[11:33]  * OerHeks thinks this is going to be a personal attack on gordonjcp
[11:33] <gordonjcp> OerHeks: yeah
[11:34] <nikolam> gordonjcp, that is not the point. Point is - Canonical done that to all Ubuntu users without knowing. But let's get to technical parts.
[11:34] <invariant> OerHeks, I think what you think is completely wrong.
[11:34] <nikolam> Goal is to understand what to set it up to stop it. Beside removing unity-lens-shopping.
[11:34] <gordonjcp> nikolam: tor would be great if *everyone* did it, but since there are only a handful of exit nodes it's actually more traceable than not bothering with tor
[11:35] <nikolam> That is all. Let canonical change their own privacy problems on other place.
[11:35] <invariant> gordonjcp, there are thousands of exit nodes.
[11:35] <gordonjcp> nikolam: (I don't actually know where you are down to the dslam but I could find out if I cared)
[11:35] <invariant> gordonjcp, and while it might be traceable for The Powers That Be, it is not traceable for you.
[11:35] <nikolam> gordonjcp, that was just an example. And have nothing to do with the case of sharing IP and private usage searches and types with third parties.
[11:35] <almoxarife> its them entry nodes that will get you
[11:36] <nikolam> invariant, :)
[11:36] <invariant> gordonjcp, as such, you are just spreading complete misinformation.
[11:36] <gordonjcp> nikolam: so remove it
[11:36] <gordonjcp> nikolam: if it's that big a deal, recommend that your users use xubuntu
[11:36] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I removed it, we will see if something elese in ubuntu sharing some information. Maybe ubuntu one?
[11:37] <gordonjcp> nikolam: I don't really care, tbh
[11:37] <gordonjcp> why would I care
[11:37] <gordonjcp> I use Amazon *anyway*
[11:37] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I already use xubuntu since 6.10 This is computer I am preparing for other people.
[11:37]  * invariant thinks gordonjcp deserves a troll award
[11:37] <gordonjcp> nikolam: stick Xubuntu on it then
[11:37] <nikolam> gordonjcp, but not like, amazon knowing my every move on my desktop
[11:38] <gordonjcp> nikolam: they don't know your every move on the desktop
[11:38] <nikolam> gordonjcp, most probably will.
[11:38] <almoxarife> lets stop the personal attacks, pls, its not nice, you do want to be nice dont you?
[11:38] <nikolam> I must say I mostly like ubuntu selling/software center.
[11:39] <nikolam> And I always Enable sharing installed programs info for statistics woth Canonical.
[11:39] <OerHeks> nikolam, amazon does NOT know every move, stop trolling.
[11:39] <nikolam> "To make Ubuntu better" you know
[11:39] <adknight87> Interesting my swap location doesn't stay on after a reboot I have to turn it back on.
[11:39] <almoxarife> adknight87: you need to add the swap to /etc/fstab
[11:39] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: you beat me to it ;-)
[11:40] <nikolam> OerHeks, I would but gordonjcp keeps pushing me. I just wanted solution for Dsh home npt sending my usage and local serches to Amazon and other parties. See legal notice of Dash on the bottom of it, by pressing <I> button.
[11:40] <adknight87> almoxarife: I followed the directions for that on ubuntu's site
[11:40] <joris> I have changed my /etc/hostname, but sendmail is still sending HELOs with my old hostname. I have restarted init.d/networking and sendmail. Any ideas?
[11:41] <almoxarife> gordonjcp: one of the neatest tricks i found was moving lines from mtab to fstab, thats good, because i am clueless on how to construct it myself
[11:41] <nikolam> OerHeks, It Does. see legal notice for Dash home
[11:41] <gordonjcp> almoxarife: yeah, that'd work
[11:41] <almoxarife> adknight87: sure you did, you just didnt read it all, take it back!
[11:42] <adknight87> almoxarife: You make me want to show file edit time date stamps
[11:42] <almoxarife> adknight87: are you saying you did add the swap to fstab?
[11:42] <theo_> hello folks
[11:43] <blackshirt> hello theo_

[11:48] <nikolam> I also have menu on login screen moved to the left side after fresh installing Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit . And I have many dots on the screen. (It is Nvidia 210 graphics and I suppose it uses nouveau driver after fresh install)
[11:48] <adknight87> fstab pastebin anyone?
[11:48] <adknight87> http://pastebin.com/X8rS2Xg7
[11:48] <adknight87> nikolam: do you know about bluecava?
[11:48] <nikolam> When I log in , screen garble and then it log in right
[11:49] <adknight87> login draws a grid
[11:49] <almoxarife> adknight87: swap is on sda5?
[11:49] <adknight87> almoxarife: it's on sdb5
[11:50] <almoxarife> adknight87: yes, my bad
[11:50] <adknight87> almoxarife: I have a on board SSD drive that's 8 Gigs the same as my ram.
[11:50] <nikolam> but it also garbles the screen after login and before displaying desktop, so I suppose it is some kind of bug. Or related to unity-lens-shopping and ubuntu one removal
[11:50] <almoxarife> adknight87: yes, you have told us that a few times
[11:51] <gordonjcp> adknight87: you're not swapping to the SSD though, right?
[11:51] <adknight87> gordonjcp: I am actually it works.
[11:51] <gordonjcp> adknight87: not for long...
[11:51] <nikolam> adknight87, I do not know kothing about bluecava. Not sure it has to do something about Ubuntu
[11:51] <adknight87> gordonjcp: why is that?
[11:51] <gordonjcp> adknight87: because you only have a finite number of write cycles
[11:52] <gordonjcp> adknight87: and swapping gets through them pretty quickly
[11:52] <almoxarife> adknight87: you want to see 100% swap?
[11:52] <nikolam> gordonjcp, maybe he could just turn on SSD optimizations.
[11:52] <adknight87> nikolam: then I suggest you do and that you put your halt on privacy issues with ubuntu to a latterday conversation
[11:53] <adknight87> almoxarife: you mean to say you want me to fill my 8gigs of ssd space with crap just to see
[11:53] <nikolam> adknight87, I will never stop inofrming users of technical posibility of removing applications that can help them using Ubuntu more privatly.
[11:53] <almoxarife> adknight87: increase the swapiness from the default 60 to 100, then bring it back to 60 when you are finally bored with swap
[11:54] <nikolam> Users have right to use their OS in best way to them.
[11:54] <adknight87> nikolam: bluecava.com
[11:54] <almoxarife> adknight87: i dont 'want' you to do a thing, it was a suggestion
[11:54] <nikolam> and adding and removing app is just normal usage of an OS.
[11:54] <gordonjcp> nikolam: it's still not a great idea
[11:54] <gordonjcp> nikolam: these days swap isn't such a big thing, since we all have more RAM than we could possibly need ;-)
[11:54] <nikolam> gordonjcp, don't know what you reffer to.
[11:55] <almoxarife> gordonjcp: yes,
[11:55] <gordonjcp> nikolam: your comment about SSD optimisations
[11:55] <gordonjcp> nikolam: the best optimisation is not to hammer them into the ground with swap...
[11:55] <nikolam> gordonjcp, swap is usefull to have, bacause of hybernation. an I like to have swap in case some all malfunction and start leaking RAM. I have long experience.
[11:56] <almoxarife> gordonjcp: i would have to agree, using ssd for swap does seem like wanting to kill the ssd early and for no good reason
[11:56] <adknight87> xD
[11:56] <nikolam> gordonjcp, Swap is used only when ther eis not enough RAM. That is all. it does not hurt , just helps IF needed.
[11:56] <adknight87> I'm not using the SSD for squat
[11:56] <gordonjcp> nikolam: that's not quite true
[11:57] <nikolam> gordonjcp, but what is true then?
[11:57] <gordonjcp> well, it depends on a lot of factors
[11:57] <gordonjcp> stuff gets swapped out if it has been idle for a long time, and doesn't necessarily get swapped back in
[11:57] <almoxarife> god, someone/s had too much caffeine this morning
[11:57] <gordonjcp> nikolam: I mean I'm sitting with about 75% swap space used and 50% RAM used at the moment
[11:58] <bazhang> lets move on please
[11:58] <gordonjcp> you'd think that it would stop swapping stuff out since there's loads of RAM kicking about
[11:58] <gordonjcp> if I close firefox I'll get about 25% RAM used ;-)
[11:59] <nikolam> gordonjcp, well, that is just fine for me. Swap have its usage. It is there to do exactly that. To help if needed etc.
[11:59] <bazhang> nikolam, thats enough
[11:59] <bazhang> lets take the swap debate elsewhere
[11:59] <gordonjcp> nikolam: if the RAM starts filling up then even when it's nowhere near full the machine will be swapping like mad
[11:59] <bazhang> gordonjcp, ?
[12:00] <gordonjcp> bazhang: sorry, I hit enter on that just as your line popped up
[12:00] <adknight87> OKAY guys here was the issue I won't be touching the swap very often meaning not a lot of wear and tear. I have 8 gig's of ram and do not hibernate the laptop. So in a rare case that I do. I actually can't hibernate for some reason the option is grayed out.
[12:00] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I think that depends on your usage case. I personally like to have it, I am long time user. Let's just leave it at that.
[12:01] <almoxarife> :)
[12:01] <gordonjcp> oh well
[12:01] <almoxarife> about time
[12:01] <[deXter]> Looks like he ran out of RAM.
[12:01] <adknight87> xD!
[12:01] <almoxarife> adknight87: you cant hibernate?
[12:01] <gordonjcp> I love people who say "oh I'm a long time user" like it means something
[12:02] <adknight87> almoxarife: apparently not on this system
[12:02] <almoxarife> adknight87: thats something worth fixating about
[12:02] <nikolam> bazhang, I was just ending "topic you don't like" I call for unjust managing of a channel.
[12:02] <gordonjcp> nikolam: again, #ubuntu-offtopic is for blethering
[12:03] <adknight87> almoxarife: I never really required it much use out of it.
[12:03] <nikolam> gordonjcp, I am not doing nothing wrong, but technical questions, Please stop mollesting me.
[12:04] <adknight87> Apparently there's a "discard" option for fstab mount properties too also a nice "noatime" option as well to reduce writes
[12:06] <sanav> !ot
[12:07] <patr|ck> hell
[12:07] <Eagleman> hell to you to
[12:07] <patr|ck> how can i access the encrypted home directory from outside of ubuntu?
[12:07] <patr|ck> s/hell/hello/ :-)
[12:07] <adknight87> almoxarife: still alive?
[12:16] <almoxarife> adknight87: what?
[12:18] <adknight87> almoxarife: apparently now that I have read a bit more into the swap on ssd support there is already a discard function in the kernel. But I'm still having issues trying to get my swap to stay on lol.
[12:19] <Pipe1984> Good morning. I have a doubt with the partitions. I have a 500GB hard drive and I have W7 and Ubuntu. The partitions would W7 50-60Gb, 30 Gb for /, 2GB swap, and the rest for / home. The configured as primary? recomendais follow that order or another?
[12:20] <Dr_willis> windows 7 often wants 2 partions one for its special boot partion and one for the os.  thats how most pc makers set  it up. but i think its NOT requirewd fo windows 7 to have 2
[12:21] <cfhowlett> Pipe1984: as a general rule, set swap to 2X your system ram
[12:21] <dcherniv> Pipe1984, primary/secondary doesnt matter too on GPT which is default for windows 7
[12:21] <Dr_willis> you may want to put all of the linux partions on an extended with logicals also.
[12:22] <Pipe1984> i have 4 gb RAM
[12:22] <juniour> hey guys i have install ubuntu with dual boot with win 7 via wibi not its corrucpted
[12:22] <adknight87> What are the mount options for fstab?
[12:23] <juniour> now ubuntu is corrupted
[12:23] <cfhowlett> juniour: wubi is a testing platform not a long term installation solution.  Consider a proper dual boot or virtual installation
[12:23] <juniour> but there are importan file in ubuntu home how can i recovere them
[12:24] <juniour> is there any method so i can recove my file
[12:24] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  man fstab and man mount will show most all options.. what one are you looking for?
[12:25] <Dr_willis> juniour,  if the filesystem is currupted and was fscked. its posslbe the file got moved to /lost+found
[12:25] <adknight87> Dr_willis: I changed locations of my swap. But it's on another drive so it needs to mount first which apparently it isn't doing.
[12:25] <Dr_willis> mount first? first over what?
[12:26] <Dr_willis> you have more then 1 swap partiion? you can set priorties for them
[12:27] <adknight87> Ubuntu starts with the os hard drive with the os partition which is mounted the SSD that I have now is not mounted so I have to wait till after start up to manually swapon
[12:27] <juniour> where i will found /lost+found
[12:27] <juniour> Dr_willis where i will found /lost+found
[12:27] <Dr_willis> juniour,  thats the full path..    /lost+found is in the root of your install.. ie:  "/"
[12:28] <juniour> ubuntu wont start
[12:28] <juniour> i cant go to ubuntu
[12:28] <Dr_willis> That wasent your original problem.. you care to add any more details?
[12:28] <juniour> my ubuntu is not starting
[12:28] <Dr_willis> use a live cd, mount your installed system. look for the file.
[12:29] <Dr_willis> it may be in your users home. or in Lost+found on the filesystem of your installed system.
[12:29] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  you could always put a swapon command in rc.local but ive never seen anyone need to do that.
[12:29] <juniour> Dr_willis ubuntu was insalled using wibi
[12:30] <juniour> in same partation as C
[12:31] <Dr_willis> juniour,  then you could use a live cd, and mount by hand the wubi install 'virtualdisk' file.
[12:31] <adknight87> Dr_willis: so where's this rc.local?
[12:31] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  in /etc/
[12:31] <Dr_willis> 'locate rc.local'  is handy to rember. ;) for finding files
[12:32] <BluesKaj> hi all
[12:32] <adknight87> danke
[12:33] <adknight87> um what exactly do I have to do for mounting a swap location in that xD
[12:34] <Dr_willis> i dont know 'exactly' but you would boot the live cd. determine the file thats your wubi installed hd. and use the mount commands loop option to mount it. same as you would an iso file.
[12:34] <Dr_willis> !iso
[12:35] <Dr_willis> sudo mount -o loop /media/windows/pathtothewubiinstalledhdfile /media/mywubiinstall   (or similer)
[12:35] <Dr_willis> then everything on that wubi install should be in /media/mywubiinstall
[12:36] <Dr_willis> theres a Mounting Guide factoid.
[12:36] <Dr_willis> !mount
[12:36] <adknight87> xD DANKE
[12:37] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  you said you had to use the swapon command for some reason.. you could run it from rc.loca
[12:37] <Dr_willis> rc.local
[12:37] <atmo_> I use UBUNTU live on flashpendrive
[12:37]  * Dr_willis is getting juniour  and adknight87s questions confused. ;)
[12:37] <adknight87> When would the rc.local be ran?
[12:38] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  its the last service to run.
[12:38] <adknight87> I noticed
[12:38] <adknight87> CF
[12:38] <adknight87> xD
[12:38] <atmo_> can I save any data on this flashpen?
[12:39] <Dr_willis> live usb?
[12:43] <adknight87> #!/bin/sh -e
[12:43] <adknight87> swapon
[12:43] <adknight87> exit 0
[12:43] <adknight87> that right?
[12:43] <adknight87> or a I completely an idiot
[12:43] <bazhang> !enter | adknight87
[12:43] <Dr_willis> the live usb setup CAN have a persistant save file to allow you to save things as your user atmo_. also any free space on the flash can be accessed from widnows. since its on a vfat filesystem
[12:43] <Dr_willis> adknight87,  thats about it. Its not rocket Surgery. ;)
[12:44] <adknight87> Figured so. That a real op?
[12:45] <adknight87> I'll be back with a report on whether it had worked or not.
[12:47] <Dr_willis> be rather weird that rc.local wouldent work. :) i still have no idea why you need to do that command..
[12:49] <roger21> i have an external hd setup in the fstab, my problem is when the hd is unpluged the system won't boot, can't it be more tolerant?
[12:50] <astrogool> asdf
[12:50] <yeats> roger21: probably shouldn't put it in the fstab if it's not always there
[12:51] <Dr_willis> use the noauto option is one way
[12:53] <adknight87> danke Dr_willis
[12:57] <Rock> how to change text color of non x user
[12:57] <Dr_willis> clarify what you mean by that Rock
[12:57] <Rock> i want to change text color of non-graphical user
[12:58] <Dr_willis> change it where? you mean the bash promopt?
[12:58] <Rock> yes
[12:58] <Dr_willis> theres the 'bash prompt howto' that gives pages of examples of how to do fancy things like that...
[12:58] <Rock> is there any link for this?
[12:58]  * Dr_willis loves playing 20 questions to get to the real question...
[12:59] <awaad> Is there any tool that works under Ubuntu such as Visio ?
[12:59] <Dr_willis> type in bash prompt howto in your browser..
[12:59] <Dr_willis> should be at tldp.org or a dozen other sites
[12:59] <awaad> If it exists, does it work with vsd files that is generated by Visio in Windows?
[12:59] <Rock> i'll check
[12:59] <adknight87> xD
[13:00] <Dr_willis> The bash prompmt color changes also affect terminals in X..    ;P
[13:03] <roger21> !mount
[13:04] <Rock> i didnt get anything helpful in google for change text colour of text based user
[13:05] <adknight87> o.o
[13:06] <adknight87> Rock:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizingBashPrompt
[13:06] <Dr_willis> Rock,  becayse you are wanting to change the BASH PROMPT
[13:06] <Dr_willis> and its NOT specific to a 'text based user'
[13:07] <Dr_willis> theres even some fancy bash 'themes' you can setup if you wanted to go hard core. with fancy prompts and other neat tricks
[13:08] <awaad> Any one can help ?
[13:08] <adknight87> I had my bash looking like a snake
[13:08] <dilshod> what is problem?
[13:08] <adknight87> awaad: you were asking the visio question right?
[13:08] <dilshod> awaad ??
[13:08] <awaad> adknight87: Yes
[13:09] <Dr_willis> never used viso.. so no idea
[13:09] <adknight87> awaad: install wine http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=119
[13:09] <awaad> dilshod, I asked if there is an alternative for Windows Visio Under Ubuntu?
[13:09] <kRush> where is nautilus pulling the mount options for ntfs drives from? I need the executable flag but I can't set it
[13:09] <dilshod> What's meen visio question?
[13:10] <Dr_willis> executable flag on ntfs/vfat can get real annoying.
[13:10] <Dr_willis> the ntfs-config tool Might let you tweak it. or you could use a custome fstab entry for the ntfs filesystem to enable the executable option
[13:10] <awaad> Dr_willis: Visio is an application that runs under windows which is used for er diagram desing, Logical Diagrams, Call Flows, etc
[13:11] <Dr_willis> !alternatives
[13:11] <adknight87> awaad: you check out the link?
[13:11] <Dr_willis> hmm.. not that factoid. ;)
[13:12] <awaad> adknight87: I am searching for an alternative to visio not how to install it under Ubuntu
[13:12] <adknight87> awaad: sounds like a job for google
[13:12] <adknight87> dun dun dun
[13:12] <Dr_willis> https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/tour/visio_alternative
[13:12] <Dr_willis> first hit for 'viso alterantive' ;)
[13:13] <adknight87> wonders of the internet
[13:13] <OerHeks> awaad, check dia in softwarecentre, or Visual Paradigm (closed source, paid) or yED (free) http://www.yworks.com/en/products_yed_about.html
[13:13] <Dr_willis> http://www.osalt.com/visio   lists several alterantives... 2nd google hit.
[13:13] <Dr_willis> Kivio is part of the KOffice open source office suite. For flowcharting, network diagrams and all other graphing need Kivio solves them with an easy to user interface.
[13:13] <Dr_willis> Read more at http://www.osalt.com/visio#qpVsHKUZEjA6aYgb.99
[13:14] <Dr_willis> wonder if libreoffice dosent have somthing similer..  Ive not needed to do  such work in years
[13:14] <OerHeks> Dr_willis +1 for kivio
[13:14] <awaad> Dr_willis, adknight87, OerHeks, Does any application of those listed by you support vsd format generated by Visio ?
[13:14] <Dr_willis> awaad,  all i did was read the first line of the descriptions basically. ;)
[13:15] <yeats> libreoffice draw is roughly similar, though not feature for feature
[13:15] <nicolenicole> Hello, I currently have Ubuntu Studio installed on my hard disk (as LVM2 filetype) but the disk memory is full and I cannot load the operating system locally (I'm currently on a Lubuntu live CD) nor can I mount the partition/drive (there is only one partition on the hard disk).  GParted apparently does not support LVM2 and I was not able to mount the /dev/ubuntu-studio/root volume in Terminal either.  I need a way to access or
[13:15] <blackshirt> !moduser
[13:16] <yeats> nicolenicole: try 'sudo apt-get install lvm2' while running the live CD
[13:16] <BigMao> Hi there - ever since I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, every executable that I run is generating a "gmon.out" file.  I'm not sure if the other users on the system installed GNU gprof or something - but it shouldn't be affecting every single program that I'm running.  Is there some way to address this?
[13:16] <nicolenicole> lvm2 is already installed on the Lubuntu live CD
[13:16] <yeats> nicolenicole: in the terminal, do 'lvs' then
[13:17] <savio> !lvs
[13:17] <blackshirt> what is apache module for user_html setup?
[13:17] <nicolenicole> ok it listed the volumes
[13:18] <nicolenicole> the data is fine, the problem (I assume) is that the drive is full, there is 0% free memory on it
[13:18] <OerHeks> awaad, not sure, check it out yourself.
[13:18] <BigMao> Could this be an issue with gcc?
[13:18] <yeats> nicolenicole: you were trying to mount the lvm partitions, right?
[13:18] <nicolenicole> yes I cannot mount the local hard drive or any of the partitions or volumes on it
[13:19] <yeats> nicolenicole: and what happens when you try?
[13:19] <blackshirt> what is apache module for user dir html setup?
[13:19] <yeats> blackshirt: mod_userdir
[13:20] <nicolenicole> sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt states that LVM2 is an unknown file type
[13:20] <yeats> nicolenicole: you can't mount that directly - you have to mount the lvm partition itself
[13:21] <yeats> nicolenicole: something like '/dev/mapper/lvmPartition'
[13:21] <adknight87> sudo -i
[13:21] <adknight87> apt-get install lvm2
[13:21] <adknight87> modprobe dm-mod

[13:22] <nicolenicole> sudo mount /dev/ubuntu-studio/root /mnt also gives error message
[13:23] <yeats> nicolenicole: note that adknight87's 'sudo vgchange -a y' may be necessary
[13:23] <yeats> nicolenicole: what is the message?
[13:24] <adknight87_> nicolenicole: you get the link?
[13:24] <nicolenicole> wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[13:25] <nicolenicole> yes I'll see what those steps do
[13:25] <adknight87_> kk
[13:28] <nicolenicole> exact same error message
[13:28] <nicolenicole> ubuntu-studio is the volume group, with root and swap_1 being the two volumes
[13:29] <blackshirt> nicolenicole look at your dmesg
[13:29] <nicolenicole> dmesg?
[13:29] <thebrush> hellojacob, may I create a script in ubuntu that is called with a link like callto:// or mailto://  from browser?
[13:29] <adknight87> nicolenicole: even loading the module hadn't worked?
[13:29] <Na_Klar> when using ubuntu as live usb hdd, the usb drive is mounted as /cdrom and therefore only readable. How can I write data to the usb drive in spite of?
[13:30] <nicolenicole> I'm not sure?  it is not mounted
[13:30] <nicolenicole> when I try to mount using file explorer, I get this: Error mounting /dev/dm-0 at /media/lubuntu/4371c113-fa26-41b2-9525-15045dac20de: Command-line `mount -t "ext4" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/dm-0" "/media/lubuntu/4371c113-fa26-41b2-9525-15045dac20de"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root,        missing codepage or helper program,
[13:31] <nicolenicole> same wrong fs type, etc. error
[13:31] <nicolenicole> that shows in Terminal as well
[13:31] <adknight87> did you vgchange -a y
[13:31] <nicolenicole> no?
[13:31] <nicolenicole> the page said modprobe dm-mod
[13:31] <nicolenicole> oh yes
[13:32] <nicolenicole> vgchange -ay ubuntu-studio
[13:32] <PwnnaWeb> hey can anyone help me with http://askubuntu.com/questions/209605/cdc-acm-not-firing ?
[13:32] <adknight87> activate all
[13:33] <nicolenicole> the only thing I can think if is to copy the partition to a larger external hard drive, then extend the partition, would Ubuntu Studio work then if it is just a memory issue?
[13:34] <shyrain> how to enter second disk?
[13:34] <nicolenicole> GParted apparently can't do it, but Clonezilla supports LVM2
[13:34] <nicolenicole> www.clonezilla.org
[13:34] <auronandace> nicolenicole: memory = ram (not harddisk space)
[13:35] <adknight87> Storage
[13:35] <adknight87> is the term
[13:35] <nicolenicole> would that work?  all I want is my files back, I can reinstall the OS after that
[13:35] <nicolenicole> sorry, yes
[13:35] <nicolenicole> RAM is fine
[13:35] <nicolenicole> it is out of storage
[13:35] <shyrain> 有中国人没？
[13:36] <PwnnaWeb> shyrain: yes, #ubuntu-cn
[13:36] <adknight87> So did you  sudo mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/fcroot -o ro,user?
[13:36] <nicolenicole> yes
[13:36] <shyrain> 怎么进D盘、
[13:36] <nicolenicole> I named it uroot but same thing
[13:37] <nicolenicole> sudo mount /dev/ubuntu-studio/root /mnt/uroot -o ro,user
[13:38] <shyrain> 怎么进？
[13:38] <nicolenicole> so do you think I can't mount because the drive is out of storage?  or could it have been corrupted somehow and the files are lost?
[13:40] <PwnnaWeb> shyrain: /join #ubuntu-cn
[13:40] <yeats> nicolenicole: you might take a look at this in case it helps: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/recover-bad-superblock-from-corrupted-partition/
[13:41] <Chucrute301> You can do a zero fill
[13:42] <yeats> Chucrute301: nicolenicole is trying to recover data, not wipe her disk
[13:42] <nicolenicole> hm, what is dumpe2fs ?
[13:42] <dyd> how can i add a vpn? it has a lock and i can't add anything
[13:43] <adknight87> what does your fdisk -l show?
[13:43] <nicolenicole> -l is not an option?
[13:44] <nicolenicole> oh
[13:44] <yeats> nicolenicole: "-l" as in lowercase "L"
[13:44] <nicolenicole> cannot open it says
[13:44] <yeats> nicolenicole: can you pastebin the full message?
[13:45] <adknight87> Odd might be because Gparted is open
[13:45] <nicolenicole> cannot open /dev/sda2 or sda5
[13:45] <shevy> anyone knows of an easy way to move the close-button to the right side of the windows?
[13:46] <Chucrute301> Install windows
[13:46] <Chucrute301> :)
[13:46] <yeats> Chucrute301: please stop trolling
[13:46] <Chucrute301> Ok iam kidding
[13:46] <nicolenicole> you can slide the open/close buttons around with the XFCE desktop settings
[13:46] <llutz_> !controls | shevy not sure if this still works
[13:46] <adknight87> Theme options have left or right positions in gnome
[13:47] <shevy> yeah, I remember that... I restarted in xfce, and everything was on the left top side suddenly too, so it must have been theme related
[13:47] <Chucrute301> Right
[13:47] <shevy> thanks llutz, adknight87 and nicolenicole
[13:47] <Chucrute301> In gnome-shell :)
[13:48] <Chucrute301> Iam not trolling now :D
[13:48] <patr|ck> i get "is not in the sudoers file" - how can i fix this?
[13:48] <nicolenicole> GParted lists sda1 as the optical drive with the live CD, then sda2 as "extended" and sda5 as "lvm2 pv" with "ubuntu-studio" as the mount point, is that normal?  there is only one hard disk
[13:48] <shevy> Chucrute301, yeah but you didn't help, so I had to omit you in my giving-thanks-list ;P
[13:49] <llutz_> patr|ck: "sudo adduser username sudo"   replace username with the user you want to have sudo rights
[13:49] <ThinkT510> nicolenicole: sda1 would be the first partition on the first disk
[13:49] <BigMao> Hi there, can someone help me with Ubuntu not recognizing my NVidia graphics cards?
[13:49] <BigMao> I just updated the kernel and built a new kernel module, but the card is still not being recognized.
[13:49] <nicolenicole> sda is the live CD for Lubuntu
[13:49] <nicolenicole> *sda1
[13:49] <yeats> nicolenicole: no, that's not normal - /dev/sda is the hard disk
[13:49] <patr|ck> llutz, i already did that and i already had a re-log but no dice
[13:50] <llutz_> patr|ck: "id username" gives "sudo" as group back?
[13:50] <Chucrute301> I know shevy, no problem :)
[13:50] <BigMao> Could this actually be a hardware issue? I am only seeing "nvidia1" in /dev
[13:50] <yeats> nicolenicole: so 'sudo fdisk -l' doesn't work?
[13:50] <nicolenicole> I have to specify the disk
[13:50] <patr|ck> llutz, i am in the group sudo
[13:50] <nicolenicole> it cannot open sda2 or sda5
[13:50] <llutz_> patr|ck: what version are you using "lsb_release -sc"
[13:50] <adknight87> It doesn't open anything nicole
[13:50] <patr|ck> llutz, 12.04 AMD64
[13:51] <yeats> nicolenicole: something's really not right about that
[13:51] <adknight87> It prints out the drives
[13:51] <adknight87> that's connected to the machine
[13:51] <nicolenicole> fdisk -l /dev/sda5 --> Cannot open /dev/sda5
[13:51] <ThinkT510> nicolenicole: gparted shows your partition layout
[13:51] <yeats> nicolenicole: just 'fdisk -l'
[13:51] <nicolenicole> that doesn't do anything
[13:51] <adknight87> ODD
[13:51] <yeats> nicolenicole: 'sudo fdisk -l' ?
[13:52] <ThinkT510> nicolenicole: sudo fdisk -l
[13:52] <adknight87> It's suppose to do something
[13:52] <llutz_> patr|ck: "sudo grep \%sudo /etc/sudoers"
[13:52] <nicolenicole> I didn't sudo
[13:52] <nicolenicole> ok
[13:52] <patr|ck> llutz, yes
[13:52] <yeats> nicolenicole: can you pastebin that output?
[13:52] <nicolenicole> I got output
[13:52] <adknight87> I've been waiting on the pastebin
[13:52] <adknight87> xD
[13:52] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i add bash...access thingy to a user
[13:52] <nicolenicole> um I don't know how to copy from XTerm on Lubuntu live CD
[13:53] <llutz_> patr|ck: yes what?
[13:53] <adknight87> right click
[13:53] <Wiz_KeeD> when i login i don't have bash activated and i need to type in bash so i can start execiting commands via cli
[13:53] <Wiz_KeeD> any ideeas on how i can edit the user so it can navigate personaly?
[13:53] <Dr_willis> Wiz_KeeD,  set the default shell for the user to be bash via 'chsh'
[13:53] <adknight87> highlight text obviously and right click
[13:53] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i do that?
[13:53] <Dr_willis> Wiz_KeeD,  how did you add the user? or is this on a vps?
[13:53] <yeats> !pastebinit | nicolenicole
[13:54] <Dr_willis> Wiz_KeeD,  set the default shell for the user to be bash via 'chsh'  <------------- command is 'chsh' ;)
[13:54] <nicolenicole> it doesn't do anything, there's no menu and no right-click and I can't screencapture or print screen apparently
[13:54] <llutz_> Wiz_KeeD: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash username
[13:54] <Wiz_KeeD> thank you Dr_willis and llutz
[13:54] <Zathras> hi, is there an easy way to manually download a package and all it's dependencies so I can burn it on a CD for someone?
[13:54] <Dr_willis> nicolenicole,  with xterm, you can select, then middle click
[13:54] <nicolenicole> ok so just enter pastebinit in Terminal?
[13:54] <Dr_willis> !aptoncd | Zathras
[13:55] <yeats> nicolenicole: 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' then 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' should do it
[13:55] <llutz_> patr|ck: "sudo grep \%sudo /etc/sudoers"     the output is what?
[13:55] <adknight87> oddities with that livecd
[13:55] <Zathras> Dr_willis, cool, but I am not on Ubuntu. I am on Debian. Is there an alternative?
[13:55] <nicolenicole> gimme a min
[13:55] <Dr_willis> Zathras,  no idea.. check in #debian
[13:55] <llutz_> Zathras: aptoncd works on debian too
[13:57] <nicolenicole> yikes ok I don't know what middle-clicking did but it didn't like it
[13:57] <nicolenicole> is pastebinit a command to copy the previous output?
[13:57] <ThinkT510> nicolenicole: middle-clicking simply pastes what you highlighted last
[13:57] <yeats> nicolenicole: no - it will send whatever you give it to a pastebin and return the URL
[13:58] <adknight87> Giving fdisk -l to the pastebin
[13:58] <nicolenicole> so do I enter "
[13:58] <adknight87> is what you are doing
[13:58] <raven> hi
[13:58] <yeats> nicolenicole: no quotes
[13:58] <nicolenicole> "sudo fdisk -l pastebinit"
[13:58] <Chucrute301> hi ?
[13:59] <yeats> nicolenicole: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[13:59] <Chucrute301> raven, hi
[13:59] <yeats> nicolenicole:  you need '|'
[13:59] <nicolenicole> ok
[13:59] <Zathras> aptoncd reads my apt archive which is Debian based. However I need for someone else Ubuntu packages. It seems I cannot select a different list of sources so that probably makes the tool useless for what I want to do?
[13:59] <nicolenicole> it won't let me install pastebinit on the live CD
[14:00] <adknight87> xD FAIL
[14:00] <yeats> nicolenicole: ok - so what happens when you try?
[14:00] <Ezio> :)
[14:00] <nicolenicole> it does say that Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-oot doesn't contain a valid partition table
[14:01] <nicolenicole> same for ubuntu--studio-swap_1
[14:01] <nicolenicole> *studio-root
[14:01] <adknight87> I'm thinking there's a mount mess up here
[14:01] <raven> xubuntu 12.10: i have two panels on top. i set  the desktop settings so that maximized windowy have the right high but non maximized windws still hide half under the second panel. how to set the desktop borders right?
[14:01] <Ezio_Auditore> sudo su
[14:01] <Dr_willis> dont use sudo su
[14:02] <Ezio_Auditore> password><123abc
[14:02] <Dr_willis> !sudo
[14:02] <Ezio_Auditore> i dont like !sudo
[14:02] <llutz_> Ezio_Auditore: who cares
[14:02] <Dr_willis> Ezio_Auditore,  use sudo -i if you need a root shell.
[14:03] <Dr_willis> or  sudo -s  ;) i never can rember which one.
[14:03] <adknight87> -k
[14:03] <adknight87> :P
[14:03] <Ezio_Auditore> llutz my granfather care
[14:03] <Sniffy> Hi there, how do I prevent the desktop manager from starting at all?
[14:03] <Ezio_Auditore> he uses gentoo
[14:03] <Sniffy> I know how to stop it using "sudo service lightdm stop"
[14:03] <Dr_willis> !text | Sniffy
[14:03] <nicolenicole> I'm running sudo apt-get update to see if I can get pastebinit that way
[14:03] <Sniffy> Dr_willis, thanks. :)
[14:03] <Dr_willis> Sniffy,  the text mode keeps a DM from starting
[14:04] <Sniffy> Dr_willis, is the boot loader config in /boot/grub/grub.cfg or somewhere else?
[14:04] <Sniffy> One thing that has confused me over the years is that Ubuntu moves the config files around
[14:04] <yeats> nicolenicole: not trying to create another rabbit hole to go down - you could just use the lxde terminal emulator and copy/paste from there?
[14:05] <Chucrute301> i think is sudo-s ;)
[14:05] <Dr_willis> cant say ive notced them moveing
[14:05]  * yeats assumes that is installed there
[14:05] <llutz_> Sniffy: you edit /etc/default/grub and run "update-grub" then. grub.cfg is not to be edited manually
[14:05] <adknight87> What livecd is this anyways
[14:05] <nicolenicole> ok got it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379505/
[14:05] <nicolenicole> Python was out-of-date with the live CD
[14:06] <roger21> i have an external hd in the fstab, my problem is when the hd is unpluged the system won't boot, trying and trying again to mount it, can it be set-up to give up at some point?
[14:06] <adknight87> sda5
[14:06] <Sniffy> llutz_, thank you. :)
[14:06] <yeats> nicolenicole: okay - that looks okay
[14:07] <nicolenicole> yes as far as I can tell everything is fine except for the fact it doesn't mount :-p
[14:07] <Sniffy> My main issue is that I just updated the Linux kernel and my NVIDIA graphics cards are no longer being recognized.
[14:08] <Sniffy> I'm running this machine as a server and it's not connected to any monitors
[14:08] <ThinkT510> Sniffy: what kernel version?
[14:08] <nicolenicole> sdb and sdc are the two external hard drives I have plugged in
[14:08] <yeats> nicolenicole: can you do 'sudo mount /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root /mnt/uroot' and pastebin the output?
[14:08] <Sniffy> ThinkT510, I upgraded from 3.2.0-29 to 3.2.0-33
[14:09] <nicolenicole> same error as before
[14:09] <adknight87> Think she should try mounting /dev/sda5
[14:10] <adknight87> she/he who knows
[14:10] <nicolenicole> it says unknown filesystem type LVM2_member
[14:10] <yeats> adknight87: that won't work - that's the disk containing the LVM volumes, not where the filesystem actually is
[14:10] <Sniffy> ThinkT510, I got it to create the device files by running "sudo nvidia-smi -a" following some forum instructions
[14:10] <Sniffy> I'm not sure what this actually did.
[14:11] <Cucciu> ciao
[14:11] <Cucciu> !list
[14:11] <ThinkT510> Sniffy: sorry, never heard of that
[14:11] <adknight87> True I take that back the logical drive
[14:11] <adknight87> xD
[14:11] <ThinkT510> Sniffy: is this nvidia optimus?
[14:11] <yeats> nicolenicole: try 'sudo fsck /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root' and see if that works?
[14:12] <Sniffy> ThinkT510, I don't think so.
[14:12]  * yeats steps away for a bit
[14:12] <nicolenicole> error reading block 29944407 resulted in short read??
[14:12] <Sniffy> I'm running a Linux box with three cards and no attached monitors
[14:12] <adknight87> xD just as he steps away
[14:13] <nicolenicole> what is fsck?
[14:13] <yeats> !fsck | nicolenicole
[14:13] <adknight87> !fsck
[14:13] <gustav__> dh_make is broken. It installed files I'm trying to make a package out of.
[14:13] <adknight87> jinx
[14:13] <adknight87> I want a dr pepper
[14:13] <nicolenicole> hm
[14:14] <nicolenicole> so maybe the drive is corrupted on that block?
[14:14] <adknight87> nicolenicole: Why are you doing this through livecd again?
[14:15] <nicolenicole> because I can't mount the local drive?
[14:15] <nicolenicole> Ubuntu Studio won't load
[14:15] <nicolenicole> I just want my files back then I can format and reinstall the OS
[14:15] <raven> xubuntu 12.10: i have two panels on top. i set  the desktop settings so that maximized windowy have the right high but non maximized windws still hide half under the second panel. how to set the desktop borders right?
[14:16] <nicolenicole> do you think I could use Clonezilla to copy the partition to a larger hard drive and get my files back that way?
[14:17] <JustSighDudes> How would I apply a patch file? I'm facing a bug in python and there's a patch file for it on the bug report. What's my next step or what should I google for?
[14:18] <bkc_> patch
[14:18] <adknight87> nicolenicole: If your system doesn't load that in the first place. Transferring it over to another drive might not do much but prolong the problem of actually accessing whats on the partition
[14:18] <adknight87> Meaning something went wrong.
[14:18] <bkc_> JustSighDudes: the app is called patch
[14:19] <nicolenicole> fsck says the drive was not cleanly mounted
[14:19] <nicolenicole> *unmounted
[14:21] <nicolenicole> it's giving me a series of messages saying that Mozilla Firefox has a bunch of incorrect filetypes apparently
[14:21] <Dr_willis> fsck is saying that?
[14:21] <nicolenicole> yes
[14:21] <adknight87> Oddities
[14:21] <nicolenicole> I'm hitting yes on clearing the entries, they're files in the Firefox cache
[14:21] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. fsck just checks the filesystem for errors.. it dosent scan filetypes and so forth...
[14:22] <riegersn> help with bumblebee, I really only care about power savings. have a new dell xps 14 ultrabook. installed bumblebee view this post: http://bit.ly/rQR1Xb - rebooted but lsmod doesn't show bbswitch module. no bbswitch module under /etc/modprobe.d/ - this is the module that turns off the nvidia card for power savings. why did it not load and how can i load it?
[14:22] <Dr_willis> Oh its saying the FILES are bad. ;)
[14:22] <adknight87> fsck works on lvm?
[14:22] <nicolenicole> apparently....
[14:23] <nicolenicole> Lubuntu doesn't have Firefox, these are all on the hard drive which I can't mount
[14:23] <chick3n> fresh install of 12.4 and when i open /etc/fstab in nano, it says its a converted mac format
[14:23] <chick3n> what gives?
[14:24] <nicolenicole> ok it is done, says file system was modified, 1.3% non-contiguous
[14:24] <nicolenicole> what does that mean?
[14:24] <nicolenicole> how do I pastebinit the text in the previous command?
[14:25] <adknight87> So it finished?
[14:25] <yeats> nicolenicole: try to mount again
[14:25] <nicolenicole> yes how do I pastebinit the fsck?
[14:25] <BluesKaj> riegersn, what does , cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch , output ?
[14:25] <yeats> nicolenicole: you'd have to copy/paste manually
[14:25] <nicolenicole> I'd like to copy the changes that were made
[14:25] <nicolenicole> oh
[14:25] <nicolenicole> never mind then lol
[14:25] <adknight87> xD
[14:25] <adknight87> File recovery is so much fun
[14:26] <riegersn> BluesKaj, cat: /proc/acpi/bbswitch: No such file or directory
[14:26] <nicolenicole> ooh!  I think it mounted, lemme check
[14:26] <nicolenicole> YES!
[14:26] <nicolenicole> omg
[14:26] <yeats> nicolenicole: excellent
[14:26] <nicolenicole> fsck saved the day, thank you sooo much whoever gave me that line to try
[14:26] <BluesKaj> riegersn, did you sudo modprobe bbswitch to ,load the module ?
[14:27] <adknight87> wasn't me
[14:27] <yeats> nicolenicole: now I would backup everything, then try deleting some things to see if you can boot again afterwards
[14:27] <nicolenicole> ok gotta back up my files and format and reinstall without LVM2
[14:27] <yeats> nicolenicole: you're welcome ;-)
[14:27] <alan__> ll
[14:27] <nicolenicole> and this time make a partition for my download manager, I accidentally left it running and filled up the drive :-(
[14:27] <riegersn> BluesKaj, no it didn't say it in the instructions i was reading. and I read that you can't load it if the nvidia card is already off. so i wasn't sure of what to do
[14:27] <nicolenicole> thanks yeats
[14:27] <nicolenicole> :-D
[14:28] <BluesKaj> riegersn, run the command
[14:29] <bobbino>  irc://irc.explosionirc.net/kalispera
[14:29] <riegersn> BluesKaj, ah crap: FATAL: Module bbswitch not found.
[14:29] <riegersn> what gives i installed everything it said to install
[14:30] <BluesKaj> riegersn, that's probly the wrong module name
[14:30] <nicolenicole> is there a command line to copy and paste all the text inside the Terminal?
[14:31] <adknight87> select all?
[14:31] <adknight87> kidding
[14:31] <adknight87> don't type that
[14:31] <BluesKaj> nicolenicole, sunder edit selectall , copy
[14:31] <nicolenicole> Ctrl doesn't work, and you said pastebinit doesn't do that?
[14:32] <BluesKaj> !paste
[14:32] <nicolenicole> "sunder edit selectall copy"
[14:32] <Transfusion> Edi -> Select All -> Copy
[14:32] <Transfusion> *Edit
[14:32] <Transfusion> :P
[14:32] <BluesKaj> under edit select all , then right click and copy
[14:32] <nicolenicole> there is no menu on Lubuntu live CD XTerm
[14:32] <nicolenicole> or right-clicking, I need a command line
[14:33] <adknight87> you try going to the top of the actual desktop
[14:33] <Transfusion> oh you're using console?
[14:33] <adknight87> there's a menu there?
[14:33] <BluesKaj> no terminal?
[14:33] <nicolenicole> no
[14:33] <nicolenicole> it's LXDE live CD, very basic
[14:34] <BluesKaj> a terminal/console is pretty basic , that's strange
[14:34] <Transfusion> heh, lxterminal

[14:38] <opieng> hi all, I have tried google chrome on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and still can not get Youtube video to play, it says "missing plugin"
[14:39] <opieng> can anyone help?
[14:39] <adknight87> go with chromium-browser
[14:40] <opieng> I thought someone mentioned last time to go for Chrome, not chromium as chromium does not have the right plugins for this
[14:40] <adknight87> ?
[14:40] <adknight87> Works just fine for me.
[14:41] <opieng> oh, ok I will give it a try then, both chrome and firefox both do not work for me
[14:41] <theadmin> opieng: You need the Flash plugin
[14:41] <adknight87> Have you installed it that's the question
[14:41] <vlt> opieng: I tried for weeks to get it working. Then someone told me that the latest Flash included in Chrome doesn’t support my CPU (or vice versa).
[14:41] <opieng> For which browser theadmin ?
[14:42] <theadmin> opieng: apt:adobe-flashplugin?section=partner
[14:42] <opieng> vlt, ahh I might have the same problem my CPU is very old
[14:42] <adknight87> sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[14:43] <vlt> opieng: Mine is an AMD Athlon XP 2000 and doesn’t know some SSEEESSEEESEESEEEEEE… stuff
[14:43] <opieng> lol same processor as mine but I think mine is the 2300
[14:44] <adknight87> opieng: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[14:44] <vlt> opieng: Ok, then it really might be the same problem.
[14:44] <BroS^> u need flash player
[14:44] <_nrdb> I have installed sensord and lm-sensors ... I cant get sensord to update its rrd file ... it creates it but never puts any data in it... what could be wrong?
[14:44] <chick3n> fresh install of 12.4 and when i open /etc/fstab in nano, it says its a converted mac format
[14:44] <chick3n> what gives?
[14:44] <opieng> so would sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin still work for me?
[14:45] <adknight87> Well try it and find out
[14:45] <opieng> sorry will do I am not at that system at the moment adknight87
[14:45] <vlt> opieng: This installs the last Flash version from Adobe that supports linux. Some Flash websites might not work.
[14:45] <adknight87> youtube works
[14:46] <vlt> opieng: (Adobe dropped linux after Flash 10.2)
[14:46] <opieng> vlt, oh!
[14:47] <ThinkT510> vlt: 11.2
[14:47] <opieng> vlt, so what did you do to get youtube working?
[14:47] <opieng> as sounds like I might have the same problem as you
[14:47] <vlt> opieng: I use HTML5.
[14:48] <opieng> vlt, never used that
[14:48] <mark__> hi
[14:48] <vlt> youtube.com/html5
[14:49] <vlt> opieng: ^
[14:49] <mark__> ciao
[14:49] <mark__> buonasera
[14:49] <vlt> !it | mark__
[14:51] <opieng> thanks vlt
[14:51] <WeThePeople> is there a commnd to set the system back to defaults?
[14:56] <escott> WeThePeople, depends on what you want to reset

[15:00] <NetGhost> Hello
[15:00] <NetGhost> how can i active fn+f3 (wifi) key in ubuntu?
[15:01] <dragonfly> Hey guys, My 12.10 setup is too slow on boot.. Can anyone suggest something ?
[15:02] <dragonfly> NetGhost: That is hardware specific. which machine are you using ?
[15:02] <genii-around> !bootchart | dragonfly
[15:02] <NetGhost> dragonfly, acer aspire 5742zg
[15:02] <llutz_> NetGhost: "rfkill list wifi"
[15:03] <llutz_> NetGhost: does it show something blocked?
[15:03] <NetGhost> llutz, err i am not in ubuntu now i have no access there to internet without wifi.
[15:03] <dragonfly> ubottu: I did, It shows the average boot time ~110 seconds and then it takes a while to log in from GDM screen to desktop. approx 20-30 seconds
[15:03] <NetGhost> llutz, i am using windows and acers official software for fn keys etc (launch manager)
[15:04] <tej> hai friends.., how can i install turboC
[15:04] <genii-around> dragonfly: Also, if you still have a lot of daemons which are not converted to Upstart yet, you can put a one-time option of:  profile    at the kernel load line in GRUB and it will try to optimize those for the subsequent boots.
[15:05] <dragonfly> genni-around: any more help ?
[15:06] <Ian_Corne> what's the difference between fglrx and fglrx-updates ?
[15:06] <OerHeks> dragonfly, disable IPv6 can save boottime, it did 9 sec for me
[15:06] <NetGhost> llutz, dragonfly the wifi is broadcom bcm94... something
[15:07] <adknight87> !fglrx | Ian_Corne
[15:07] <NetGhost> llutz, funny thing is i cant even do ifconfig wlan0 up. It doesnt get detected at allow
[15:08] <NetGhost> not found in ifconfig
[15:08] <dragonfly> OerHek: How do I disable IPv6 ?
[15:08] <llutz_> NetGhost: boot ubuntu, get exatct chipset, get "rfkill list" status, come back
[15:08] <OerHeks> !ipv6
[15:09] <OerHeks> last url, dragonfly
[15:10] <optimus55> How do I add new themes to ubuntu 12.10? I used to be able to go to gnome-look.org and download/install but now everything seems to not work. Do they come through the package manager? a  common ppa? can anyone give me a simplified method for finding/adding new themes to the latest ubuntu? Thanks
[15:11] <adknight87> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/
[15:12] <Ian_Corne> adknight87: Either I'm too tired or it's not there, but I don't see it explained anywhere there
[15:13] <adknight87> use the search
[15:14] <shomon> hi, how do I know what DISPLAY is running so as to interact from the command line?
[15:14] <shomon> it's something like 0:0? but where is the variable sitting?
[15:15] <ring1> shojo, echo $DISPLAY
[15:15] <shomon> well it's not my terminal
[15:15] <shomon> compiz crashed you see
[15:15] <shomon> I mean I ssh'ed in from another achine
[15:15] <shomon> but I want to restart compiz and not kill my stuff :D
[15:15] <OerHeks> optimus55, ubuntu-tweak is able to add themes, if they are gnome3 compatible,
[15:15] <shomon> or even better, get rid of it and put something else in it's place
[15:15] <shomon> but meanwhile...
[15:16] <shevy> hehe
[15:17] <optimus55> OerHeks: Thanks i'm downloading now, looks good
[15:18] <Chamunks> is there something that i can reliably use to record audio from one mic and video from a webcam to the same thign?
[15:19] <simplew> how can i disable unity-greeter from having the same background as the one set in user session?
[15:21] <dcherniv> Chamunks, ffmpeg
[15:21] <Kowalczyk> hi. im having a trouble with wireless on my ubuntu laptop. the wireless is working it just doesnt see my wlan essid here at home. mint. slackware.arch and every other sees it. just not ubuntu
[15:21] <WeThePeople> escott, i cant move to a diff workspace
[15:22] <WeThePeople> and the close and minimize buttons are not at the top of the window
[15:22] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: What frequency band and standard is the AP using?
[15:22] <Audet> Hello, I enabled the apparmor profile for firefox. I want to log all new created files, but the actual log (despite audit mode) does only show in which folders changes are made, but not the name of the changed or created files)
[15:23] <OerHeks> WeThePeople, close min max are at the top panel.
[15:23] <WeThePeople> oerheks, no not there
[15:23] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: 2.437GHz channel 6. it stands on automatic. if I change channel the network is unstable.
[15:23] <WeThePeople> i was using grep yesterday so i think it has to do with that
[15:23] <OerHeks> WeThePeople, only when the window is focus
[15:23] <Audet> How to use apparmor for logging changed files?
[15:24] <WeThePeople> oerheks, idk what you mean
[15:24] <chick3n> why does nano say "(Converted from Mac format)" when I open my fstab file?
[15:24] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: I'm just checking the obvious things first, bear with me! Is the AP using 40MHz channels (HT a.k.a. 802.11n) ?
[15:24] <Kowalczyk> its set on 20Mhz
[15:24] <Kowalczyk> its default
[15:24] <ThinkT510> chick3n: never seen that before, have you edited it with anything else?
[15:24] <Chamunks> dcherniv, i mean something that isn't going to take 6 hours to figure out some functioning syntax via the command line
[15:25] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: OK, so unlikely to be a 'n' thing then. Is the SSID hidden?
[15:25] <Kowalczyk> no its nok
[15:25] <nino__>  /msg NickServ identify 55564#k0
[15:25] <chick3n> ThinkT510, nope. brand new install on a formatted drive.
[15:25] <Chamunks> dcherniv, I've got my grandma's funeral in an hour or two and I gotta figure out how by then.
[15:25] <OerHeks> nino__, time to change pass
[15:25] <Kowalczyk> if I change channel to something static I find it but then I get disconencted every other minutes
[15:25] <Kowalczyk> this just happen in ubuntu /
[15:25] <Kowalczyk> :/
[15:25] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: At the terminal do you get any result from "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" (assuming the interface is called wlan0)
[15:25] <dcherniv> Chamunks, vlc should be pretty easy
[15:25] <adknight87> LMAO

[15:26] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: no. doesnt show up
[15:26] <OerHeks> WeThePeople, unless you messed up something, the current window on your desktop, in focus, will show min max close and file/edit/ etc menu
[15:26] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: I'm hot on this - I spent the entire morning reconfiguring my hostapd 802.11n into n-mode and checking it from the laptop that has an Intel 4965abgn card.
[15:26] <adknight87> FAIL
[15:26] <bazhang> adknight87, no need for that
[15:26] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: so no go... was the same with 12.04
[15:26] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: Is the WLAN card PCI or USB?
[15:27] <Kowalczyk> its internal
[15:27] <adknight87> I<3U bazhang
[15:27] <bazhang> adknight87, please stop with the nonsense
[15:27] <WeThePeople> oerheks, yeah it doesnt show min max close or file etc..
[15:27] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: Can you check this for me to find its PCI ID: "lspci -nn | egrep -i '(net|eth|wire)'
[15:27] <Kowalczyk> 25:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
[15:28] <Chamunks> dcherniv, the complicated bit is audio is from one thing video is from the other.
[15:28] <adknight87> helping should be fun
[15:28] <ThinkT510> !bcm | Kowalczyk
[15:28] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: That's great... now do it again with "lspci -nn" so we can see the PCI Vendor:Product ID :)
[15:28] <bazhang> !ot | adknight87
[15:28] <genii-around> Those Broadcoms are notoriously horrible
[15:28] <dcherniv> Chamunks, in media->open capture device vlc lets you pick video and audio device separately
[15:29] <TJ-> genii-around: And don't we know it! :s
[15:29] <Kowalczyk> hmm get error on that command
[15:29] <Kowalczyk> anyway: 25:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353] (rev 01)
[15:29] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: great thanks, let me do a quick bit of research
[15:30] <Kowalczyk> it works on other places.. work. parents in law. just not at home :/
[15:30] <faLUCE> hi. Which video-editor do you think is the best and most complete for linux? What do you think about Cinerella ?
[15:30] <Chamunks> dcherniv, Ok thats working so far.
[15:31] <Chamunks> how do i discover the address of the proper mic
[15:31] <bazhang> faLUCE, openshot
[15:31] <chick3n> is there somewhere i ca ngrab a default sshd_config?
[15:31] <adknight87> Kowalczyk: Are you trying to set up hostapd with dhcpd?
[15:32] <Kowalczyk> adknight87: no? im trying to connect to my wlan :D
[15:32] <Kowalczyk> but it cant find my wlan essid
[15:32] <Kowalczyk> it just doesnt show up
[15:32] <Chamunks> dcherniv, also thank you very much for your level of directness its very very appreciated right now.
[15:32] <adknight87> Kowalczyk: does your wifi pick anything up?
[15:33] <Kowalczyk> yes. all my neighbours wifi essid`s
[15:33] <Kowalczyk> :P
[15:33] <adknight87> Are you sure your wifi is enabled on your router
[15:33] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: What's the driver? bcrmsmac ?
[15:33] <Kowalczyk> yes
[15:33] <Kowalczyk> to adknight87
[15:34] <Kowalczyk> ofc. every other device in the house uses it
[15:34] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: hmmm. not sure.. or bwl
[15:34] <faLUCE> bazhang: do you think is it better (more complete + supported) than cinerella?
[15:34] <adknight87> double check
[15:34] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: try lspci -nnvv | grep -A 15 'BCM'
[15:34] <bazhang> faLUCE, try it.
[15:34] <usr13> Kowalczyk: Is the router configured to broadcast essid?
[15:34] <Kowalczyk> yes
[15:35] <TJ-> usr13: Yes. and other installations work on the same PC - its' only Ubuntu 12.10 apparently, on 802.11g channel 6
[15:35] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: http://pastebin.com/72a1yR7U
[15:35] <Kowalczyk> and 12.04
[15:35] <Kowalczyk> didnt try the other releases
[15:35] <dcherniv> Chamunks, no problem. i've been there myself.
[15:35] <Kowalczyk> debian. slack. arch works
[15:35] <usr13> Kowalczyk: And after multiple samplings, you only see other essids?
[15:35] <Kowalczyk> yes
[15:36] <usr13> interesting
[15:36] <Chamunks> dcherniv, anything I should set in the advanced options at all besides ratio?
[15:36] <Kowalczyk> if I set a manual channel... I can find it.. but then its drops, on, drop,on,drop and stuff
[15:36] <BluesKaj> Kowalczyk,  sudo ifconfig wlan0 up , then , sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid
[15:37] <Kowalczyk> nothing
[15:37] <lovre> hi all. How do i update by rabbitcvs from 1.6 to 1.7 version of SVN?
[15:37] <usr13> TJ-: What would channel 6 have to do with it?  OR, a combination of 802.11g and channel 6?  Sounds a bit far fetched, not sure what could do that - I'd like to know....
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> im now like 10 cm away from the router as well
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> :P
[15:38] <Chamunks> dcherniv, I'll have two seperate audio feeds on the target machine and I don't know how to find audio device addressing.
[15:38] <TJ-> usr13: Eh? I was just ensuring you knew the configuration Kowalczyk is dealing with
[15:38] <usr13> Kowalczyk: Can you manually make the connection?
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> nope
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> ive tried
[15:38] <adknight87> Reboot the router?
[15:38] <BluesKaj> Kowalczyk, sudo modprobe BCM
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> have tried
[15:38] <Kowalczyk> also reset it
[15:39] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: The "wl" driver is the Broadcom proprietary driver; did you try the Linux-included brcmsmac previously?
[15:39] <Kowalczyk> module bcm not found
[15:39] <Kowalczyk> it uses the wl
[15:39] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: no
[15:39] <usr13> Kowalczyk: sudo iwconfig essid "My-Essid" ; sudo iwconfig key "my-key" ; dhclient wlan0
[15:40] <usr13> sudo dhclient wlan0
[15:40] <TJ-> Kowalczyk: I'm assuming you installed the proprietary driver using the package bcmwl-kernel-source ?
[15:40] <dcherniv> Chamunks, arecord -l
[15:40] <Kowalczyk> I just get unknow command when I use essid
[15:40] <Kowalczyk> TJ-: yes
[15:40] <Kowalczyk> same with key
[15:40] <usr13> Kowalczyk: When you do  "sudo iwlist wlan0" is your LAN's essid not listed?
[15:40] <TeraQuibbler> Hello, i got a problem with my laptop i cant access its wifi. I do fn+f3 to enable wifi in windows but in ubuntu it doesnt work.
[15:41] <TeraQuibbler> ifconfig doesnt display wlan0

[15:41] <BluesKaj> TeraQuibbler, iwconfig
[15:41] <usr13> Kowalczyk: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "My-Essid" ; sudo iwconfig wlan0 key "my-key" ; sudo dhclient wlan0
[15:41] <TeraQuibbler> BluesKaj: says no wireless
[15:42] <Dr_willis> TeraQuibbler,  you may need to install some drivers for it. try to determine its chipset.  lspci    should show some info about it
[15:42] <Kowalczyk> I just get invalid argument
[15:42] <usr13> where wlan0 is your WiFi designation. (I dono if that is it or not.)
[15:42] <Kowalczyk> its wpa2
[15:42] <llutz_> usr13: "iwconfig key" only supports WEP-keys, for WPA(2) you need wpasupplicant
[15:42] <Kowalczyk> but I have to go now.. will come back later tonight. thanks for the help so far. will be back later
[15:42] <TeraQuibbler> Dr_willis: I did rfkill list it says: 0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN  Soft blocked:no Hard blocked:no
[15:42] <TeraQuibbler> Dr_willis: it was softblocked before but i did rfkill unblock all
[15:43] <usr13> llutz_: Please correct my suggested commands as needed....
[15:43] <Chamunks> dcherniv, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379732/ is what I get back
[15:43] <usr13> llutz_: But I do not know what he has, and so it is all hypothetical...

[15:44] <Chamunks> Producer usb
[15:45] <frojnd> Can someone please paste output of dumpe2fs -h /dev/disk so I can compare with mine? When I do it I see under Maximum count time: -1 WTF? -1? What is going on?
[15:45] <usr13> Kowalczyk: I would suggest truning off encryption until you get it figured out.  It'll make things simplier.
[15:45] <TeraQuibbler> llutz: any idea?
[15:45] <Chamunks> dcherniv, Producer Usb mic
[15:45] <dcherniv> Chamunks, so your device should be hw:3,0
[15:45] <Guest14037> what video card in yours pc's?
[15:45] <Chamunks> dcherniv, and beside the play button theres that down arrow button and in there it says stream should i click that?
[15:46] <Guest14037> Did somebody have Radeon  with dualgraphics?
[15:46] <dcherniv> Chamunks, do you want to save the stream?
[15:46] <Chamunks> dcherniv, preferrably
[15:46] <dcherniv> Chamunks, then use convert option
[15:47] <TianChaoLaiKe> 好多人
[15:47] <dcherniv> Chamunks, stream is for live local network/internet streaming

[15:47] <Chamunks> dcherniv, in vlc wohoo! :P
[15:49] <dcherniv> Chamunks, hm go into tools preferences audio
[15:49] <Chamunks> mhmm

[15:50] <Chamunks> but in that list I do see the option for the mic
[15:52] <dcherniv> Chamunks, hmm. try to type in audio device name hw:3,0
[15:52] <OerHeks> Chamunks, open terminal: alsamixer  ( and press F6 to select soundcard, maybe mic shows up)
[15:52] <Chamunks> dcherniv, not that easy its a list box :P

[15:57] <BluesKaj> Chamunks, what chip is listed in alsamixer ?
[15:57] <ok_wait> usr13, :/ thanks i didn't see that in the list
[15:57] <Chamunks> BluesKaj, its actually showing up when i plug it into the laptop
[15:58] <Chamunks> I don't know why i was trying it on my desktop thats not the machine that I'll be recording on.
[15:58] <ok_wait> johndoe88, the default setting for these are blank fields
[15:58] <usr13> Daekdroom: tcpdump
[15:59] <dcherniv> Chamunks, you figured it out?
[16:00] <BluesKaj> Chamunks, in alsamixer , use the F5 key to show all the controls including mic and line inputs , make sure they aren't muted (MM)
[16:01] <Chamunks> BluesKaj, the Capture one is the one im looking for yes?
[16:01] <Chamunks> BluesKaj, its looking unmuted
[16:01] <BluesKaj> 00?
[16:02] <Chamunks> it was
[16:03] <Chamunks> now im getting errors opening v4l2:///dev/video0 and video1 unable to open mrl check log for details with no details on log location.
[16:04] <tobias____> Does anyone know how to boot from cd on ubuntu?
[16:04] <bazhang> tobias____, set in bios
[16:04] <tobias____> I turned off my comp and when its restarted i  pressed f12 and etc
[16:04] <tobias____> how do i do that bazhang?
[16:05] <Chamunks> BluesKaj, its because I had it set to ntsc turning that off to undefined made it all better
[16:05] <bazhang> tobias____, depends, hit the appropriate key (esc is common) and get in there and set to boot from CD first
[16:05] <ok_wait> tobias____, once you're in ubuntu, you've already booted
[16:05] <adknight87> f2
[16:05] <tobias____> so hit restart and while its loading press  f2 or esc?
[16:05] <ok_wait> del
[16:06] <OerHeks> tobias____, bootoptions, and some bios-es needs to configure bootdevice too
[16:06] <ok_wait> what's the make and model of your computer tobias____ ?
[16:06] <tobias____> sony vpcea46fm
[16:06] <ok_wait> sec
[16:06] <tobias____> it was f12 when i ran windows but that doesnt seem to do the trick now
[16:07] <usr13> tobias____: should be the same.
[16:07] <tobias____> its not
[16:07] <usr13> tobias____: Installing another OS does not change bios
[16:07] <adknight87> Sometimes you have to just shut down completely to get that few seconds to get into the Bios
[16:08] <tobias____> why woudlnt it go into bios then?
[16:08] <usr13> tobias____: You must be mistaken
[16:08] <ok_wait> tobias____, it's either delete or f2
[16:08] <tobias____> im going to try delete or f
[16:08] <tobias____> 2
[16:08] <tobias____> thanks guys
[16:12] <Espnu> hey, i had problems with my ATI driver on ubuntu 12.10 like 1-2 weeks ago. Is it neccecary to install linux-generic-header etc?
[16:12] <Espnu> my card is HD6850
[16:12] <Heather_> question: I'm logged in as root and I give rw permission to a folder. But when I restart ubuntu its gone how can make it permanent?
[16:15] <genii-around> Heather_: You must be trying to change a folder which is actually some mounted partition, or else another whose permissions are set each boot, like /dev or /sys or so on
[16:16] <Heather_> yes thats true
[16:16] <Heather_> its a mounted partition
[16:16] <Guest16504> ÊÇÑÊ´Õ  ÁÕ¤¹ä·ÂäËÁ¤Ð
[16:17] <thesadmafioso> Anyone know how to use wget or curl to download from a cloud server that requires authentication?
[16:17] <ok_wait> Espnu, never blindly copy and paste commands into your terminal http://askubuntu.com/questions/216303/ubuntu-12-10-graphics-driver-shows-gallium-0-4-instead-of-intel-hd
[16:18] <neil1234567890> How come I can't select the updates from the update manager?
[16:18] <Espnu> ok_wait, well i already did it now. now i wish to return back to the original state tho.
[16:18] <Espnu> any suggestion?
[16:18] <ok_wait> what was the command?
[16:18] <Espnu> sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[16:18] <Espnu> and
[16:18] <Espnu> sudo apt-get install linux-source
[16:19] <Espnu> headers's didn't get properly installed because of read-only errors
[16:19] <ok_wait> neither of those packages will hurt but i don't think you'll need the linux-source unless you plan to compile your own linux kernel
[16:19] <ok_wait> did you say apt-get update before installing them?
[16:20] <Espnu> nah, but i updated my computer just before.
[16:20] <raven> xubuntu 12.10: i have two panels on top. i set  the desktop settings so that maximized windowy have the right high but non maximized windws still hide half under the second panel. how to set the desktop borders right?
[16:21] <ok_wait> i've never seen a read only error. can you paste the output in pastie.org and paste that link here
[16:21] <Espnu> sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/espen/2: Read-only file system W: Not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.  espen@espen-OEM:~$ sudo dpkg --configure a [sudo] password for espen:  sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/espen/2: Read-only file system dpkg: error: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system
[16:22] <ok_wait> did you run the suggested command?
[16:22] <mike_papa> I'm trying to use UCK to create my custom Live-CD, but I get error like this: http://pastebin.com/FHSuyf0K
[16:22] <ThinkT510> raven: you've pasted the same thing several times, perhaps nobody has answered because they aren't sure what exactly you mean
[16:22] <mike_papa> What's wrong?
[16:22] <Espnu> i tried apt-get install linux-headers-generic yes
[16:23] <SirShmoopy> good morning, I am trying to install ubuntu on a PCIe SSD. it shows up as two 120GB drives when i install. i have tried installing to both sda and sdb writing grub to either, but when i reboot, i get 'unknown filesystem'
[16:23] <ok_wait> no the  'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[16:23] <Espnu> yea, i did
[16:23] <Espnu> says so in copy&paste ;)
[16:23] <raven> ThinkT510 how to specify
[16:23] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: is it OCZ RAID kind drive?
[16:23] <ok_wait> oh ok i see it lol
[16:23] <ok_wait> idk man when was the last time you rebooted?
[16:24] <SirShmoopy> mike_papa, yes i believe so
[16:24] <Espnu> mins ago
[16:24] <Espnu> should i try that?
[16:24] <ThinkT510> raven: perhaps a screenshot would help
[16:24] <Espnu> havent rebooted after i tried installing
[16:24] <SirShmoopy> it is an OCZ, it was advertised as 240GB but shows as two 120's
[16:24] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: propably there is no driver for this RAID controller in Ubuntu. That will be hard to install it on this drive.
[16:25] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: I had same issue with OCZ Revo X2. It showed as 4 drives, but 12.10 deals with it great.
[16:25] <ok_wait> Espnu, http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=unable+to+open+%2Fvar%2Flib%2Fsudo%2F+read+only+filesystem+dpkg&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
[16:25] <SirShmoopy> mike_papa, does that mean i wouldnt be able to install on a single 120?
[16:26] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: You can try to split those drives in OCZ utility at boot, and see if you can use them as two separate drives. I'm not sure. I never tried it.
[16:26] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: but keep in mind, you're loosing almost half of performance that is advertised.
[16:26] <tapas> ok, installed a new kernel, rebooted the system, no more nvidia :(
[16:27] <epic_> my ubuntu is becomes slow
[16:27] <SirShmoopy> mike_papa, im going to find my box, i dont rememebr any discs and i dont see any prompts during POST
[16:27] <Espnu> i'll try a reboot, doubt my disk is failing
[16:27] <grzywacz> tapas, quite likely if it was compiled for a different kernel version
[16:27] <epic_> vlc playing slow video
[16:27] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: If it's RAID drive, made by OCZ for better performance, it should have it's own boot prompt.
[16:28] <tapas> grzywacz: well, the kernel updates from ubuntu worked flawlessly previously...
[16:28] <ok_wait> Espnu, you can check the smart status with palimpsest
[16:28] <ok_wait> or 'disk utility'
[16:28] <tapas> i'll setup grub to let me choose the kernel on boot..
[16:28] <Jordan_U> SirShmoopy: Your BIOS is probably assembling the array (FakeRAID), which since Ubuntu installed separately to one drive, isn't actually a valid array. You're probably getting the first stripe of the first disk, and thus a valid grub MBR+embedded area, but the rest of the aray is invalid and thus grub can't read any data from the filesystem.
[16:29] <tapas> grzywacz: i even sudo apt-get install nvidia-current --reinstall
[16:29] <tapas> didn'\t help
[16:30] <grzywacz> tapas, ok. That doesn't happen often. :-) Any error messages in Xlogs or som such? What happens if you try to modprobe nvidia manually?
[16:31] <mike_papa> Jordan_U: I belive he's trying to install Ubuntu, so it's not installed yet. OCZ makes it's PCIe drives as cards with 2 or 4 separate drives with own RAID0 controller on board.
[16:31] <Espen____> no_wait it found something wrong with partitions at restart, now it works :)
[16:31] <Espen____> just curious if i should remove the headers/source now
[16:31] <tapas> grzywacz: FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found.
[16:32] <mike_papa> Jordan_U: before 12.10 I found no way to access them at all. Separately, or joined.
[16:32] <tapas> grzywacz: i guess it's because it's maybe the lowlatency kernel..
[16:32] <tapas> grzywacz: let's see..
[16:32] <Catbuntu> hi
[16:33] <Amnesia> 0ohai
[16:34] <genii-around> tapas: I'm not sure if there is a linux-headers  package for lowlatency  , but nvidia-current usually needs them to build the module with dkms
[16:34] <felipe_Brz> i'm trying to instal DIA on ubuntu 11.10 via aptget ... however, I'm seeing an error message: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
[16:34] <felipe_Brz>   dia-common libart-2.0-2 dia-libs dia gsfonts-x11
[16:35] <felipe_Brz> sorry for length of text
[16:35] <felipe_Brz> is it ok to download this package regardless of the warnings?
[16:36] <tapas> genii-around: ok..
[16:36] <tapas> genii-around: booted into a generic kernel.. trying to reinstall nvidia-current now..
[16:36] <llutz_> felipe_Brz: you always should import the repos signing-key before using those packages
[16:36] <genii-around> tapas: Ah, apparently, there is.   Did you have packages:   dkms  build-essential and linux-headers-lowlatency     installed before installing nvidia-current  ?
[16:37] <llutz_> felipe_Brz: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring          for the standard repos. if you use 3rd party stuff, get their gpg-keys
[16:37] <SirShmoopy> thank you mike_papa, Jordan_U. i'm going to try another reboot with a 12.10 disc and see if anything changes
[16:37] <felipe_Brz> llutz_:  ah thank you very much
[16:37] <tapas> genii-around: nope.. but i reinstalled nvidia for my generic kernel and it works now.. will try with the -lowlatency kernel again, too
[16:37] <mike_papa> SirShmoopy: yw
[16:38] <felipe_Brz> llutz_:  hmm.. i did that and still I got the same warning
[16:38] <tapas> hmm, my attempt at configuring grub to show me a menu failed.. so the onlyu way was to uninstal the lowlatency kernels ;D
[16:38] <roger21> should i use apt-get or aptitude?
[16:39] <llutz_> !aptitude   | roger21
[16:40] <grzywacz> tapas, 'modprobe nvidia' didn't work, right?
[16:40] <roger21> so?
[16:40] <tapas> grzywacz: no. not with the lowlatency kernel. i fixed it in this generic kernel though.. installed kernel headers and now will reboot into it
[16:40] <genii-around> tapas: For grub , edit /etc/default/grub      so that you have GRUB_DEFAULT=0     and  GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0  and  GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true      in there. Then  sudo update-grub    and also doing   sudo update-initramfs -u     can't hurt
[16:41] <bill> hello good morning all
[16:41] <llutz_> roger21: read, understand, decide
[16:41] <roger21> i don't understand
[16:41] <bazhang> roger21, use apt-get
[16:41] <roger21> am i concerned?
[16:41] <roger21> ok
[16:42] <tapas> genii-around: grzywacz: adding the lowlatency kernel headers did the trick..
[16:42] <genii-around> tapas: Good :-)
[16:42] <tapas> genii-around: yep, found that out, too ;D now i have the problem that i disabled usb legacy support in my bios at one time (since i had some peripherals trouble)
[16:43] <tapas> but the grub menu shows a single entry "Ubuntu" anyways..
[16:43] <tapas> so that's useless ;D
[16:43] <tapas> i guess it needs more setup..
[16:44] <tapas> i guess i have to reset my bios settings to be able to reenable legavcy USB support since i don't have a PS/2 keyboard anymore ;D
[16:44] <JulioCesar> hola
[16:44] <ok_wait> hoya!
[16:47] <ok_wait> :/

[16:52] <TeraQuibbler> Hello
[16:52] <TeraQuibbler> Is there bactrack repository i can enable in ubuntu to use backtrack apps?
[16:53] <TheLordOfTime> TeraQuibbler, no.
[16:53] <TheLordOfTime> !backtrack | TeraQuibbler
[16:54] <ok_wait> TeraQuibbler, i installed backtrack 5 r2 then added the ubuntu repos to upgrade to precise. once you do this you won't receive updates from backtrack
[16:54] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: i didnt understand. You installed backtrack 5r2 (which is based on 10.04 ubuntu) and upgraded to ubuntu 12?
[16:55] <ok_wait> TeraQuibbler, that's correct
[16:55] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: and if do this i wont get the new apps that come from backtrack?
[16:55] <ok_wait> TeraQuibbler, that's correct as well
[16:56] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: then whats the point of this. You installed backtrack for its apps, if you wanted ubuntu you would install plain ubuntu.
[16:56] <ok_wait> i wanted backtrack but i didn't want it to always run in root and i didn't want it to look like backtrack
[16:57] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: but now you got outdated apps
[16:57] <ok_wait> that's ok with me
[16:57] <ok_wait> i got what i wanted from it
[16:57] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: Is it impossible got both repos?
[16:57] <ok_wait> yes
[16:57] <ok_wait> too many problems
[16:58] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: btw you could just create a normal user for bt, i did that in the past for casual uses.
[16:58] <adrianazzy> alguien de aqui, habla español
[16:58] <ok_wait> yea i did that
[16:59] <ok_wait> this is an everyday use machine so i wanted the everyday use repositories. i don't do pentesting every day
[17:00] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: Basically the solution i found to avoid dualbooting of everyday distro and pentest distro is using gentoo. Gentoo allows you to enable the overlay of gentoo-based distro (pentoo) which has as many pentesting apps as backtrack. So everytime you upgrade you get the latest gentoo apps and the latest pentoo apps. (If some app is common in them, the newest is chosen)
[17:00] <ok_wait> if i ever wanted to upgrade to bt5 r3 or r4 i would leave the home partition un-formated and format / for bt the add the repos for ubuntu again
[17:00] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: also you can enable gentoo-hardened kernel and confguration to have a safe system on top of that
[17:01] <ok_wait> i'll keep that in mind. there are other defaults that come with bt (scripts etc.) that i wanted as well
[17:02] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: anyway i am off. I think for your case gentoo would work wonders. (And you have to compile max 5 minutes a day if there is an upgrade)
[17:02] <bobweaver> anyone here know a bit about apt-file ?  like I want to clean everything and get it all again apt-file purge && apt-file update ?
[17:02] <TeraQuibbler> ok_wait: i think they got them too. Some people in pentoo channel are the same as backtrack. They just wanted a more customisable distro than plain backtrack.
[17:03] <sudhin> ubuntu using laptops don't utilize battery as well as windows 7 . is there any way to fix this??? please somebody help me....
[17:04] <sevenless> Hey there, what's up with the Linux clipboard? When I copy HTML tables from web pages, they just come out as single columns with newlines when I paste them into text.
[17:04] <bobweaver> sudhin,  windows doesent manage virus very well. and Ubuntu does. any way to fix that ?  what I mean is there nis not reason to compair , but that being said you can check the broghtness and dimming settings
[17:05] <bobweaver> brightness *
[17:07] <sudhin> but when battery at 100% shows after some time shows 97% and then 88%.. battery power suddenly drops down
[17:07] <pc9> xdggfsd
[17:07] <pc9> sfdf
[17:08] <TheLordOfTime> sudhin, first off, did you check your actual battery health?
[17:08] <lvmer> Reset your battery display... I know how to do it in windows, but not ubuntu.
[17:08] <TheLordOfTime> sudhin, i had this issue with a two-year-old battery, it died a few weeks back.  :P
[17:08] <bobweaver> sudhin,  thats what happens when you use your battary . what is health of it and did you change brightness ?
[17:10] <mike_papa> I get "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied" after "sudo chroot edit". What's wrong?
[17:10] <Cong> Why isn't this possible? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379922/
[17:11] <sudhin> bobweaver,  yes i tried it.no change this is not only my problem some of other my friends has the same problem..
[17:11] <billbill> help please --i trying to change appearnce using  this app can someone talk me thru it
[17:11] <bobweaver> How to use gsettings ?  example I want to change battery life thing.      gsettings com.canonical.indicator.power set show-time false   no workie
[17:12] <bobweaver> gsettings set   com.canonical.indicator.power show-time false      also no workie
[17:12] <TeraQuibbler> is it safe to repartition win7 ntfs partition or i lose data?
[17:12] <mike_papa> Cong: dd has no permission. If you know what you do, try sudo dd
[17:12] <Cong> mike_papa, that's what I did.
[17:12] <mike_papa> TeraQuibbler: it's never safe to repartition.
[17:13] <bobweaver> NVM that did work
[17:13] <llutz_> Cong: no you used sudo echo
[17:13] <mike_papa> Cong: you did sudo echo, not dd
[17:13] <llutz_> Cong: the sudo ends at the |
[17:13] <Cong> Okay.
[17:14] <mike_papa> Cong: after | should be sudo dd...
[17:15] <mike_papa> and how "sudo chroot" can give me "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied" error? Shouldn't command run with sudo have all permissions?
[17:16] <bobweaver> billbill,  what is "this" app ?
[17:16] <billbill> i just want to change the appearance in gnome
[17:16] <sudhin> evidunna??
[17:17] <billbill> i dont really know how i am very new
[17:17] <bobweaver> billbill,  you have gone to Dash ->settings -> appearance
[17:18] <bobweaver> billbill,  Dash is what you see after pressing the Ubuntu button or bfb
[17:18] <bobweaver> in the launcher the top one ^^
[17:19] <bobweaver> billbill, in the terminal it is called   "gnome-control-pannel "
[17:19] <Heather_> where should I place my .sql file if I want to import it manually to my database?
[17:20] <sam_nazarko> is this place acceptable for mdadm advice
[17:20] <bobweaver> Heather_,  ~/    ?
[17:21] <bobweaver> Heather_,     mysql -h DBHOST -u DBUSER -pDBPASS DBNAME < /home/username/data.sql
[17:21] <bobweaver> Heather_,  make sure that  -p  and the password have no white space
[17:21] <billbill> it said not found when i added to terminal
[17:21] <billbill> gnome-control-panne
[17:21] <bobweaver> -p pass  << wrong     -ppass  << right
[17:22] <bobweaver> Heather_,  ^^
[17:22] <slinkeey> Hello
[17:22] <bobweaver> my bad billbill  "gnome-control-center"
[17:22] <sam_nazarko> I am trying to create a new array with mdadm. I had an old array. I did mdadm --stop; did zero-superblovk and even overwrote the MBR of each partition with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/XYZ bs=512 count=1. So how does creating a new array (--assume-clean), result in the partitions being recreated?
[17:22] <slinkeey> Why does my machine generate pcl for printing slower than when it runs XP.
[17:23] <noob2> hello.  i was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to modify mountall to accept a new type of storage?
[17:23] <noob2> i want to add a new storage type to the fstab and i think mountall was the thing i needed to modify
[17:26] <bobweaver> billbill,  backaground of what ?
[17:26] <bobweaver> !screenshot | billbill
[17:26] <usr13> noob2: What exactly do you need to do?
[17:26] <noob2> usr13: i'm trying to add ceph rbd devices to the fstab
[17:27] <noob2> i'm pretty sure it won't understand how to mount it on startup
[17:27] <usr13> I'm pretty sure I don't know what ceph or rbd devices are.
[17:28] <noob2> they are network mounted block devices
[17:28] <pgib> has anyone in here experience dnsmasq performance issues since upgrading to 12.10?  For some reason there are two dnsmasq processes (one run as nobody, the other as dnsmasq)  The processes take up 80% cpu when performing a DNS query. It makes my apparent latency on the internet ridiculously slow
[17:28] <noob2> there's a kernel module that understands how to map the devices
[17:29] <digadvan> any bind gurus online?
[17:30] <pgib> it looks like the 'nobody' one is being spawned by networkmanager, while perhaps the other one is a system service
[17:31] <bobweaver> !rdp
[17:32] <bobweaver> how to set up other Ubuntu computer so that I can get to it from lightdm ?
[17:32] <TheLordOfTime> !vnc | bobweaver
[17:33] <bobweaver> ahhhh it is vnc
[17:33] <digadvan> any of you setup a bind dns slave server before?
[17:34] <ok_wait> i've never heard of a slave server
[17:34] <bobweaver> TheLordOfTime,  so I just set up tight and then I should be able no thta is not right wherre do config files go then ?  or ip is uname and if so how to log in a a user ?
[17:34] <TheLordOfTime> bobweaver, i never set up VNC, you may want to just read the documentation
[17:34] <bobweaver> TheLordOfTime,  In lightdm login menu for 12.10
