[10:22]  * dr_willis makes his Grub menu play a tune after its loaded.. see the end of the  grub config file for  that line.. ;)
[10:22] <tziOm> Mandalord, not a grub perhaps, but a ubuntu 12.04 server problem
[10:23] <dr_willis> framebuffer consoles can be problematic on some video cards
[10:23] <dr_willis> i belive the 'text' option disables the framebuffer, or the 'nofb' option./
[10:23] <knechti> Hallo
[10:26] <agus> gan mw nax ni,
[10:27] <Kartagis> another revolver
[10:28] <c3l> If I want to write a shell script that uses a lock-file to ensure that only one instance of the script is running. How do I best do this? I see there is a command lockfile-create (etc.) on ubuntu, but on debian this does not exist, there one finds the command lockfile, however this does not exist on ubuntu. Should I rather roll my own lock-file mechanism? (I want it to work on at least all linux boxes)
[10:28] <Mandalord> does ubuntu server have nomodeset? we may set nomodeset to repair then try again
[10:29] <dr_willis> trying nomodeset shouuldent hurt to try. ;)
[10:29] <szal> Mandalord: have you tried?
[10:29] <dr_willis> not sure ive ever notied the console being affected by nomodeset
[10:29] <szal> dr_willis: the likes of the free radeon and nouveau drivers also affect the console
[10:30] <Mandalord> szal: i'm thinking a way to fix tziOm's problem
[10:30] <Kartagis> dr_willis: yesterday you told me to check up on you whether cairo-dock allows alt-tab, do you remember? any luck?
[10:30] <Mandalord> !nomodeset | tziOm: try this, may it work

[10:53] <_Ethan_> hi
[10:54] <VictorCL> hi I am trying to ssh to a machine
[10:54] <VictorCL> and the cursor just stays blinnking ....
[10:54] <VictorCL> get no message
[10:54] <_Ethan_> VictorCL,  what is to ssh ?
[10:54] <VictorCL> terminal: ssh user@ip
[10:54] <_Ethan_> i heard that many times but i dont really know
[10:55] <_Ethan_> is it a secure connection ?
[10:55] <NurseDad> having trouble with wirless networking. it intermittently losses connection to home wirless router then will not reconnect. Then after many tires will mysteriously re connect
[10:55] <VictorCL> yes is to connect to a machine secureliy
[10:55] <VictorCL> port 22
[10:55] <jrib> VictorCL: can you ssh to other machines?  Can you ssh to localhost when on the server (if that's a possibility)?
[10:55] <VictorCL> instead of 21
[10:55] <_Ethan_> ok VictorCL  thanks!
[10:55] <VictorCL> jrib I ssh to many machines
[10:55] <_Ethan_> what is the name for 21 ?
[10:55] <VictorCL> this is a new one we got ,
[10:55] <jrib> VictorCL: Can you ssh to localhost when on the server (if that's a possibility)?
[10:56] <VictorCL> I dont have access to the server
[10:56] <jrib> _Ethan_: grep 21/tcp /etc/services
[10:56] <VictorCL> ok now I got timeout
[10:56] <jrib> VictorCL: well it sounds like a server issue, tell the server admin
[10:57] <ksbalaji> help with dpkg broken package?
[10:57] <jrib> ksbalaji: pastebin full command you entered and full output
[10:57] <Elvano> Good afternoon, ge nts. When I try to change the ip adress of my Wireless networkcard (through System Settings > Network Wireless > Options > IPv4 Settings) to manual, well... basicly nothing happens. When I look up how to change my DHCP I get refered to the '/etc/network/interfaces' file. But my wireless interface isn't mentioned at all. Anyone an idea how I can fix this?
[10:58] <mikubuntu> since i added edubuntu packages to my laptop, i have to enter authentication for wireless every time i boot up.  anybody else have this problem?
[10:58] <peetaur> Elvano: I don't know anything about the gui parts, but for the interfaces file, see: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[10:58] <ozoie> hello, how can i tell to apt to search for a package containing file: multicols.sty
[10:59] <NurseDad> i am having wirless problems as well
[10:59] <ksbalaji> jrib, whatever I do with apt or dpkg or synaptic etc go wrong. Please suggest any simple command for me to execute for geivng output.
[10:59] <Elvano> I'll give it a try. Thanks in advance =p @ peetaur
[10:59] <NurseDad> i am asked to authenticate but it denies even the correct info
[10:59] <peetaur> Elvano: Actually I prefer this one: http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration
[10:59] <jrib> ksbalaji: please do what I have asked
[11:00] <peetaur> the 2nd one is up to date enough that it applies with Ubuntu 12. (with Ubuntu 12, the /etc/resolv.conf file gets overwritten so you put your DNS in the interfaces file)
[11:00] <NurseDad> even though it says i am not connected the maching can be pinged
[11:01] <Elvano> Than that's the one I'll read first, thanks again @ peetaur
[11:01] <Elvano> Then*
[11:01] <ksbalaji> jrib, ok. tks. I go..
[11:05] <ksbalaji> jrib, http://pastebin.com/8LzXygYB
[11:06] <jrib> ksbalaji: there's no dpkg error there
[11:06] <jrib> ksbalaji: if you want to get rid of the "unable to resolve host ubuntu" message, pastebin your /etc/hosts file
[11:08] <ksbalaji> jrib, well something is definitely wrong. Now I am working thru a livecd and chrooted to my ubuntu /. My command was thru that terminal only. - now for my hosts file.
[11:09] <jrib> ksbalaji: why are you not on the actual system?
[11:09] <jrib> ksbalaji: i.e. not chrooted
[11:09] <ksbalaji> jrib, I get errors.
[11:09] <jrib> ksbalaji: I want to see them.
[11:10] <ksbalaji> jrib, ! First, I cannot reach internet if I reboot thru my hdd system!
[11:10] <jrib> ksbalaji: why?
[11:11] <ksbalaji> jrib, I do not get connection! ( something wrong with networking?) I do not know.
[11:11] <jrib> ksbalaji: what caused all of this?
[11:12] <ksbalaji> jrib, I was once updating and suddenly power went off. (It happens at times in India)

[11:16] <paulus68> I have use this ftp script http://pastebin.com/se6zDMXr how can I add a line that creates a logfile after filetransfer?
[11:17] <yandex2389> paulus68: Just pipe the output into a text file. I suggest reading a book on shell scripts...
[11:18] <young001> anyone ust gvim in gnome3?
[11:18] <blaqwan> HELLO
[11:19]  * yandex2389 shouts back at blaqwan
[11:19] <paulus68> yandex2389: in order to do this I need to google on bash script that creates logfiles or ftp that creates logfiles?
[11:20] <blaqwan> wats up
[11:21] <blaqwan> hi yandex
[11:23] <yandex2389> paulus68: You need to read about piping output - it's a general principle, not specific to FTP. Bash scripting works by chaining lots of utilities together
[11:24] <Shima> Hello, I have a question about Dashboard.  Is there a way to lunch app from dash as sudoer? Thanks in advice.
[11:26] <Elvano> It worked using the graphical interface, but only after I disabled the Wireless card and rebooted the system after that @ peetaur
[11:26] <tol> Shima: have you tried gksu + command?
[11:26] <geirha> Shima: Yes, if you change the launcher to prepend ''gksudo --'' to the command
[11:27] <Elvano> Though my teacher would appreciate it if I didn't use the graphical interface too much (since serves do not have these) so I'll make good use of your links anyway ;3 @ peetaur
[11:28] <anonymous_> hello
[11:28] <blaqwan> hi
[11:28] <anonymous_> I from Moldova
[11:30] <blaqwan> hi anonoymous
[11:30] <compdoc> bye anonymous_
[11:30] <geirha> paulus68: The default ftp command is rather useless when it comes to scripting. Better install and use lftp or ncftp, or to avoid the ftp protocol alltogether.
[11:30] <Elvano> Has this become a social chatbox?
[11:31] <fidel> Elvano: no - its still thep lan to limit ourself around offering ubuntu support ;)
[11:33] <Elvano> I have a question though (support related). Why isn't there a 'Ubuntu for Newbies'-book in the Ubuntu webshop?
[11:34] <yandex2389> Elvano: Because Canonical doesn't produce one, all books are written by third parties I think.
[11:35] <Elvano> Is there a good book out  that is actually printed and available in Europe?
[11:35] <DJones> !manual | Elvano (Its still a 10.04 version) bt may be of use
[11:36] <compdoc> Elvano, everything you want to know is on google, but be sure its not old info
[11:36] <yandex2389> That's the problem with Ubuntu, the interface changes so often that books for newcomers with screenshots become out of date
[11:37] <Elvano> Yes, but command-line-wise it pretty much stays the same, no?
[11:38] <geirha> Elvano: Yeah, mostly.
[11:38] <yandex2389> Elvano: Somewhat. But even the underlying Linux infrastructure changes too often, far more than Mac OS/WIndows
[11:38] <Elvano> And I could find alot of google when troubleshooting, but I actually like to learn more Ubuntu
[11:39] <fidel> Elvano: learning by doing is the thing which worked for me
[11:39] <DJones> Elvano: Just looking at the website, if you go to the downloads page, there's a version for 11.10
[11:39] <fidel> maybe consider setting up a linux VM just to play around & test things
[11:39] <fidel> i.e. setting up a virtual fileserver, adding some databases, configuring access to that box- adding samba ...all small tasks and you'll learn enough with those small steps
[11:40] <fidel> i would always recommend doing VS pure-reading

[11:41] <oooaaaoooo> !ubottu
[11:41] <geirha> Elvano: Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a free book that takes you through the process of building your own linux distribution, step by step. It's not affiliated with Ubuntu, but non-the-less, it teaches you alot about linux and how distributions are put together. With that knowledge, you can figure out how Ubuntu does things.
[11:42] <Elvano> An E-Book for that matter?
[11:42] <oooaaaoooo> !wtf
[11:42] <toxboi> Hi guys, is there any way to directly upgrade Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04 LTS ?
[11:43] <DJones> toxboi: No, you need to go through 11.10 and then on to 12.04
 <geirha> Sry for dalay, was AFK, thanks, that worked but I need to know the execution command. Just out of curiosity. If I want to for example change my displ settings I will type to dash nvidia, it will show me the desired app and I need to lunch it as sudoer. But I dont know that the commend is nvidia-settings. Can I somehow easily retrive that commend from dash? That would save some work. Thanks
[11:43] <toxboi> DJones: thanks
[11:43] <Elvano> Well, thanks alot, you lot, for the help
[11:44] <babalu> hello, i have a problem with the "which" command; i have a executable Myexe that i can run because its directory is in $PATH; but when i write "which Myexe" the output is empty :(/

[11:45] <DJones> !msgthebot > oooaaaoooo
[11:46] <oooaaaoooo> DJones: whats that?
[11:47] <MonkeyDust> oooaaaoooo  don't play with factoids too much, use /msg ubottu to test them
[11:47] <geirha> Shima: Not to my knowledge, but you can install alacarte, where you can browse through those launchers and see what commands they run
[11:47] <DJones> oooaaaoooo: See the message that ubottu sent you in a new window, it tells you how to get the factoids direct to yourself without everybody seeing them
[11:47] <oooaaaoooo> MonkeyDust: /msg does what?
 Thanks
[11:48] <MonkeyDust> oooaaaoooo  try it and find out
[11:48] <oooaaaoooo> MonkeyDust: oh it opens another window
[11:48] <geirha> Shima: On a side-note, to address someone on irc, don't include the < and >, just type the first few characters of their nick, then hit the tab key (multiple times if there are more than one match) to get the nick completed.
[11:49] <blaqwan> why are some icons replaced with a question mark?
[11:49] <Shima> geirha, ok, thanks
[11:49] <Shima> was this correct? it was with tab
[11:49] <geirha> Shima: yep, perfect :)

[12:00] <Habib> heya!
[12:01] <Elvano> C is quiet..... basic nowadays
[12:03] <Habib> Houston ve'v got a problem.
[12:03] <Habib> i'm trying to install ubuntu with usb flash
[12:04] <Elvano> So far no problem with that
[12:04] <Habib> so. my bios doesn't c it
[12:04] <Elvano> How old is your system?
[12:04] <Habib> it's new
[12:04] <geirha> Habib: Did you follow the guide on ubuntu.com for creating the live USB?
[12:04] <Habib> bought 2 months but it's a netbook
[12:05] <Habib> \yes. live USB made properly
[12:05] <Elvano> Did you go in the bios to set USB HDD as boot
[12:05] <Habib> it just absent in boot devices list
[12:05] <Elvano> Preferably as first boot device
[12:05] <geirha> Habib: Right, just have to check. Some people just open the iso in an archiver and copy the files over :)
[12:05] <Habib> no i used USB Installer
[12:06] <geirha> s/have/had/
[12:06] <Habib> ))) yeah i know there a lot of dumbs
[12:06] <Habib> but i feel like i'm too cos of this problem
[12:06] <patie> i trying installing redmine on ubuntu12 ... when i have this http://pastebin.com/6kHjVnLC in etc/apache2/sites-avaiable/default on end i give error on localhost/redmine = Cannot start Ruby on Rails application The directory "/var/www" does not appear to be a valid Ruby on Rails application root .... when i save this to etc/apache2/sites-avaiable/redmine with <VirtualHost *:80> tags dont work = only list redimine directory
[12:06] <Elvano> So it doesn't display USB HDD as boot option?
[12:06] <epzil0n> Habib: UNetbootin is way better and has never disappointed me! ;)
[12:07] <Habib> it just sdisplay internal HDD drive and nothing more
[12:07] <Elvano> The bios doesn't show the USB HDD as option, I mean @ Habib
[12:07] <geirha> Habib: And you have the usb inserted while you boot, right? Try a different usb-port. Probably won't help, but doesn't hurt to try.
[12:07] <qwebirc32956> hello is anyone here?
[12:07] <Ca11um> Can anybody recommend a simple SVN client for Ubuntu Server? I need it for compiling a C++ project
[12:08] <Habib> USB drive is formated dith FAT32 and ubuntu installed with USB installer. i've changed all usb ports
[12:08] <Habib> unpluged all other devices like USB mothem or wireless mouse
[12:08] <Habib> modem
[12:08] <Habib> but ok
[12:08] <Habib> i've tried it another way
[12:08] <geirha> Ca11um: sudo apt-get install subversion; svn help
[12:08] <epzil0n> Habib: Use UNetbootin instead because with USB installer you get corrupted live media to often..
[12:09] <Habib> u know that on ubuntu there is stuff like cd boot helper
[12:10] <Habib> so did try this and it started to work. it made a directory on my C:\
[12:10] <Habib> directory weigthed 14 Gb
[12:10] <Habib> and place was no more
[12:10] <Elvano> Even if the image isn't written correctly, that shouldn't affect wether or not the USB HDD is displayed as bootdevice in bios @ Habib
[12:10] <Habib> even so id wasn't enough so it stoped and i deleted the folder
[12:11] <Habib> Elvano, exactly
[12:11] <Elvano> What motherboard do you have?
[12:11] <Habib> that's why i think it's BIOS issue
[12:11] <Ca11um> SSL handshake failure?
[12:11] <hubert_> Hey guys, I have problem with installing ubuntu on older laptop.. After loading screen a login screen shows up with boxes instead of characters.. Do you have any ideas..?
[12:11] <epzil0n> Elvano: It can have a different name, but it's far easier to use the boot menu and on this computer it's Esc-key while it boots..
[12:11] <Habib> i use netbook NP305U1A
[12:12] <Habib> i used esc key
[12:12] <Habib> it doesn't show me USB drive
[12:12] <epzil0n> Habib: so did you get any menu?
[12:12] <Habib> yes
[12:12] <Elvano> Perhaps, but I'm just trying to figure why the USB key doesn't get detected
[12:12] <Habib> it gives me only HDD
[12:12] <epzil0n> Habib: then create it with UNetbootin as i said before
[12:13] <Habib> ok/ i'll try
[12:13] <epzil0n> Habib: format first then build
[12:13] <geirha> Ca11um: sounds like it's signed with a custom certificate authority
[12:13] <Habib> fat 32?
[12:13] <epzil0n> Habib: yeah
[12:13] <epzil0n> Habib: where are you building it, in windows?
[12:13] <Habib> yeah
[12:14] <edakiri> Why is there a separate PC-Mac install media from the plain PC install media?
[12:14] <epzil0n> Habib: then you should definitively use UNetbootin, nothing else works for me on my windows comuter
[12:14] <geirha> Ca11um: Make sure the ca-certificates package is installed
[12:16] <hubert_> Anybody..?
[12:17] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:17] <Elvano> That's true. Over half of the for MS available USB installers do not work for Ubuntu images. But I have always had my USB key atleast detected. @ epzil0n , Habib
[12:17] <fidel> hubert_: anybody what?
[12:17] <Habib> ok i'm in process.... but i'm sceptic)))
[12:18] <hubert_> fidel I have problem with installing ubuntu on older laptop.. After loading screen a login screen shows up with boxes instead of characters.. Do you have any ideas..?
[12:18] <Habib> yeah the same thing
[12:18] <fidel> hubert_: try to change the gfx driver or the login-manager ;)
[12:18] <Habib> i thought it will see USB drive in BIOS anyway
[12:18] <fidel> would be my first ideas
[12:18] <epzil0n> Habib: have you booted that computer from a USB stic before?
[12:18] <Habib> no
[12:18] <Habib> and allso
[12:18] <epzil0n> Habib: are you sure that it's enabled in the BIOS?
[12:19] <Habib> i've tried to install CD boot helper from WUBI
[12:19] <hubert_> fidel,  It is not installed yet, it appears during installation..
[12:19] <Habib> i looked through and didn't find any signs od USB turn offs
[12:19] <Elvano> Try all 3 usb-ports as well. @ Habib , epzil0n
[12:20] <Habib> and in boot sequence querry  there are USB HHH - N/A
[12:20] <Habib> USB HDD N/A
[12:20] <Elvano> Then indeed it should be activated somewhere in the bios @ Habib
[12:21] <epzil0n> Elvano: agree..
[12:21] <Elvano> Do not limit your search for it to the boot tab. BIOSes aren't always all that logic @ Habib
[12:22] <Habib> yeah ok... i'll look for this fersion of BIOS manual
[12:22] <Habib> thn
[12:22] <Habib> x
[12:22] <fidel> hubert_: so what login screen are we talking about then hubert_ ?
[12:22] <fidel> are ...you
[12:22] <fidel> *or* you
[12:22] <Elvano> Don't forget to keep us updated on your progress ;3 @ Habib
[12:23] <Elvano> It's sad, but true. Many people come with a problem and never let us know if it got fixed ;-;
[12:23] <hubert_> Well, i need to install it, so i put it in, restart PC, it loads, violet Ubuntu loading screen appears for a while and then appears login screen. Without anything installed.. fidel
[12:24] <Habib> ok)))))
[12:24] <fidel> hubert_: doesnt makes sense
[12:24] <fidel> if you insert an install cd - reboot your box - it will offer you to load from CD
[12:25] <fidel> if you choose that it will again offer you either to install or use the live cd function
[12:25] <fidel> in both cases there shouldnt be a login screen afaik
[12:25] <hubert_> It doesnt. Just load and then login. Dunno why, that's why i ask..
[12:26] <fidel> i guess we are talking about different topics then
[12:26] <fidel> gl
[12:26] <hubert_> gonna kill myself now..
[12:28] <skjoedt> Hi, does anyone know how to change the Catalyst PowerPlay settings from the terminal?

[12:28] <fidel> hubert_: 2 final ideas or similar: are you using a current cd?
[12:29] <fidel> and b) consider messing around with boot-parameter - most linux cd offer that option at start
[12:30] <hubert_> @fidel im using 10.10. cd. but i will try 9.04 and try to upgrade it then..
[12:30] <geirha> hubert_: Download a supported version
[12:31] <hubert_> No way to install it then, i have no cd's or flash drives..
[12:33] <yandex2389> hubert_: What OS are you using at the moment?
[12:33] <habIb> It worked!!))))))
[12:33] <habIb> Gthnx for all!)))
[12:35] <yandex2389> habIb: Is your ")" key stuck?
[12:35] <hubert_> yandex2389 on desktop ubuntu 11.10, laptop will be ubuntu
[12:35] <habIb> No i,m just happy cos spent alot of time to find solution)

[12:44] <mikubuntu> since i added edubuntu packages to my laptop, i have to enter authentication for wireless every time i boot up.  anybody else have this problem?
[12:44] <hi6> lubuntu vs windows xp
[12:44] <kanupatar> how can i safely kill my child then?
[12:45] <serdotlin> hi6: vote for lubuntu
[12:45] <Antaranian> guys having issues while installing ubuntu on my dell alienware m17x
[12:45] <hi6> lolol
[12:46] <ancarius> serdotlin: i'm not sure what you mean by "melting". the driver won't install
[12:46] <usr13> mikubuntu: Using network-manager?
[12:47] <Antaranian> problem like http://askubuntu.com/questions/73033/need-help-to-install-ubuntu-on-win7-alienware-m17xr3-installing-not-working
[12:47] <Antaranian> but I can't find solution
[12:47] <serdotlin> ancarius:do you install from where? ubuntu-software-center?
[12:48] <usr13> mikubuntu: sudo apt-get install wicd ; sudo apt-get remove network-manager  #And then reboot.
[12:48] <ancarius> as far as i know alps doesn't exist in the base repos
[12:49] <habIb> Why there are alleays mozilla firefox in linux distrs?
[12:49] <hi6> chrome work fast on lubuntu
[12:49] <hi6> very fast suber
[12:50] <usr13> habIb: "alleays" ?
[12:50] <habIb> Wha?
[12:51] <usr13> habIb: Did not understand your question.  Try again.
[12:51] <navyjack> Antaranian, what's problem is? I have win7 and Ubuntu on my laptop.
[12:51] <habIb> Allways
[12:51] <serdotlin> habIb: what? do you want IE on Linux distro?
[12:51] <habIb> Why allways firefox
[12:51] <hi6> i have windows
[12:51] <Myrtti> habIb: because it's open source. Other open source browsers are available as well.
[12:51] <hi6> as well
[12:51] <Antaranian> navyjack: yes, the same setup here
[12:51] <usr13> habIb: Oh, you are wanting to know why firefox comes installed on Linux distributions?
[12:52] <habIb> Ah ok
[12:52] <Myrtti> habIb: did you have a Ubuntu support question or problem?
[12:52] <habIb> Usr13 yes
[12:52] <hi6> it was around befor chrome and it open
[12:52] <Antaranian> navyjack: but when installing ordinary ubuntu, there isn't any progress after choosing location
[12:53] <usr13> habIb: Maybe because firefox is the leading / most popular internet browser.  It's what most of us use, (by a very large margin).
[12:53] <Antaranian> navyjack: and when trying alternate installers getting source error
[12:53] <Antaranian> checked, installer file isn't corrupted
[12:53] <habIb> Ok thnx
[12:53] <Antaranian> installing via usb
[12:54] <serdotlin> Antaranian: try another USB
[12:55] <usr13> habIb: Sometimes we use konqueror because of it's intergrated file management tools... but only once in a while do we need such tools.
[12:55] <serdotlin> Antaranian:try other USB or burn ISO to CD/DVD
[12:55] <hi6> i like chrom better and ir betten ie but link never used ie so it dont mean much firefox is more liunx frendy
[12:55] <Antaranian> serdotlin: ok, I'll try, thanks
[12:56] <habIb> Look. My ubuntu instalation is just ended and it restarted computer
[12:56] <navyjack> Antaranian, before i installed ubuntu, i setting up extended with GParted from live DVD
[12:56] <hi6> it my be crurupted
[12:56] <usr13> habIb: Awesome!
[12:56] <habIb> Afterall in loader menu there are no ubuntu loader
[12:56] <habIb> And that,s really awesome
[12:56] <hi6> did u cheak mp5sum
[12:56] <Antaranian> navyjack: there is already a primary NTFS partition for windows, and another FAT partition
[12:57] <Antaranian> and I've cut an EXT4 partition before install
[12:58] <navyjack> Antaranian: for "swap", "/home", etc, right?
[12:58] <Antaranian> navyjack: for / , and there is another 5gb SWAP partition
[12:59] <habIb> It just starts windows
[12:59] <serdotlin> Antaranian: look at this screenshot:http://imgur.com/a/rw1r2#0
[12:59] <usr13> habIb: What are you trying to say?  Do you have a question you are trying to ask?
[12:59] <usr13> habIb: Did you fail to install grub to the master boot record?  Is that your issue?
[13:00] <habIb> Usr13 must be
[13:00] <fidel> happy guessing hehe
[13:00] <habIb> How to install grub?
[13:00] <usr13> habIb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[13:00] <serdotlin> habIb: check this how to install ubuntu:http://imgur.com/a/rw1r2#0
[13:00] <Antaranian> serdotlin: yes, I've chose "something else"
[13:03] <sirriffsalot> I seem to remember there should be a program that compares the exact content of two folders and removes doubles if told to... Sound familiar?
[13:04] <habIb> What grub to use with last version of ubuntu
[13:04] <jrib> sirriffsalot: fdupes
[13:05] <sirriffsalot> jrib, gonna check it out:) Any comments on the program? Bugs?
[13:05] <jrib> sirriffsalot: no comments
[13:05] <sirriffsalot> jrib, alright.. well, thanks:)
[13:06] <edakiri> sirriffsalot: ditto on jrib. See also https://wiki.debian.org/FreeSpace
[13:06] <edakiri> fdupes is the fastest.
[13:08] <patie> when i run command  pan@pc:/usr/share/redmine$ sudo ruby script/rails server webrick -e production      localhost:3000 works.. how can i work ruby/redmine automatic with apache.. im trying but no success :///
[13:08] <nemo> So has anyone here tried using a swing app like oracle SQL Developer in 12.04?
[13:08] <nemo> The behaviour seems really annoying. like if I click on a menu and release the mouse, the menu vanishes
[13:08] <lovingyou> hello, anyone knows if xfs will be happy with a 138TB md0?
[13:08] <compdoc> nemo, yeah, thats how mine works
[13:08] <usr13> habIb: Boot the Ubuntu CD, install and run Boot-Repair, click Recommended repair and apply
[13:08] <nemo> compdoc: is there a way to make it not do that?
[13:09] <nemo> compdoc: 'cause I can't use any menus
[13:09] <nemo> also repaint seems completely screwed up
[13:09] <nemo> well. it always was, but it seems worse
[13:09] <compdoc> nemo, there are some programs out there to tweak things, but I dont know if they work for that. Many options are still being added to Unity, so it might exist in the next release
[13:09] <habIb> Where do i find boot repair?
[13:09] <usr13> habIb: See:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub
[13:10] <nemo> compdoc: ah. not using unity. didn't think this was a unity bug really
[13:10] <nemo> hm

[13:13] <etfb> Here's a question to introduce /dev/cat to /dev/pigeons: on my brand new i7-3770, currently running Windows 7 64-bit, should I install Ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit edition?
[13:13] <etfb> If it helps, I mainly use Emacs, Firefox and VMWare Player.
[13:13] <navyjack> Antaranian, do you speak russian?
[13:14] <yandex2389> etfb: 64-bit. There aren't any compelling reasons not to anymore
[13:14] <compdoc> etfb, might as well go 64bit
[13:14] <etfb> yandex2389: What *were* the compelling reasons?
[13:14] <sergeantcupcake> Hi all! :)
[13:15] <sergeantcupcake> I was wondering if someone could recommend a good photo organizer and editor like Picasa on Windows
[13:15] <fidel> etfb: if mem > 1.x -> most likely 64bit
[13:15] <fidel> > 3.x
[13:15] <yandex2389> etfb: Odd bits of software where there weren't 32 bit versions, and you had to mess around with ia32lib or whatever. Flash player for example.
[13:15] <Antaranian> navyjack: yes, sure. born in USSR :)
[13:15] <nemo> compdoc: ah. DE specific. n/m.
[13:16] <yandex2389> etfb: And 64-bit often produces slightly larger binaries I think.
[13:16] <etfb> Does Flash work in 64bit now?  (Because if what I see in 32bit Ubuntu is "Flash working correctly" then I'm very surprised!)
[13:16] <etfb> I have 2Tb of disk space (plus an SSD for root to live on) and 16Gb of RAM, so I'm not worried about that...
[13:17] <geirha> etfb: WFM™
[13:17] <fidel> etfb: well 64 bit then
[13:17] <etfb> Cool. The good thing about anecdotes is: they're usually bad news.  A bunch of people on #ubuntu all agreeing that something is OK = solid gold guarantee, as far as I'm concerned.
[13:18] <etfb> I notice it says AMD64, but I've got an Intel i7 -- is that a problem?
[13:18] <navyjack> Antaranian, try to use this http://help.ubuntu.ru/manual/pdf
[13:18] <etfb> (It = the downloaded 64bit iso)
[13:18] <compdoc> etfb, no
[13:18] <patie> solved.
[13:19] <patie> like a sir.
[13:19] <compdoc> thats the right one
[13:19] <etfb> Cool. Well, it's downloading now, and soon I shall boot it up and see if it works.
[13:20] <geirha> etfb: No, amd just "got the name" for the 64-bit architecture. It works just as well with intel 64-bit cpus. Just like i386 (intel 80386) works fine with amd 32-bit processors.
[13:20] <etfb> Figured that was it.
[13:20] <etfb> Thanks, all.
[13:21] <navyjack> Antaranian, i think that manuals have common instructions for installing different Ubuntu versions
[13:22] <habIb> Usr13 thnx. It worked
[13:23] <soa2ii> Hi. How do I get a 32it libc on 64bit 12.04?

[13:33] <cornell> Good morning all... looking for a new laptop.  Which, of course, must be ubuntu compatible, powerful and cheap ;-)
[13:34] <PlasmaWrath> cornell: You probably won't find that is both poweful and cheap
[13:34] <compdoc> my levono run ubuntu and was cheap. but its a couple of years old now
[13:34] <TheM4ch1n3> cornell: can I privmsg you ?
[13:34] <cornell> Found one on tigerdirect, and I was looking for a site that lists compatible laptops.  Couldn't find one.  My google skills don't seem to be as good as others.  Any suggestions on a good site?
[13:35] <cornell> Yes, TheM4ch1n3
[13:35] <compdoc> newegg ?
[13:35] <fidel> cornell: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/desktop/

[13:35] <DJones> cornell: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops?action=show&redirect=HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops May help
[13:35] <cornell> Good site for compatibility, compdoc
[13:35] <fidel> designbybeck: then free some space - running out of space isnt that clever ;)
[13:35] <designbybeck> But I want to keep most of those. What is the best way to search my system and see which files are big to see if I'd like to delete those to freeup space
[13:36] <avij> hi, I'm trying to log in to rt.ubuntu.com. I tried to use the 'Login with Ubuntu SSO' button, but after logging in there I'm returned to RT, which says that "User can't be created, must specify 'Name' attribute". how to proceed?
[13:36] <designbybeck> best tools to do that fidel
[13:36] <jhickey> we just bought several laptops from system76
[13:36] <jhickey> https://www.system76.com/laptops/
[13:36] <fidel> designbybeck: gnome comes with 'disk usage analyzer'
[13:36] <fidel> it should help getting an impression
[13:36] <jhickey> for less than 1100 we got a laptop with 16GB of RAM and a nice display
[13:36] <fidel> designbybeck: others prefer cli -> du/df etc
[13:36] <jhickey> great dev machines
[13:37] <designbybeck> ah... I found the disk usage analyer fidel
[13:37] <MonkeyDust> designbybeck   find ~/Pictures/ -size +1G -exec ls -l {} \;               replace +1G by whatever size you choose
[13:37] <designbybeck> Scanning home now
[13:38] <designbybeck> oohhh that is a good command MonkeyDust
[13:38] <cornell> Thanks fidel, djones, I'll check them out.
[13:38] <designbybeck> my LinuxDistros folder is almost 10GB!
[13:38] <designbybeck> I guess I don't need to keep ALL those
[13:39] <designbybeck> This is working well! Thank you fidel and MonkeyDust
[13:40] <thomasfedb> Hey.  Then am I correct in thinking that running `sudo restart arcadia-staging` from the user 'arcadia-staging' should not prompt for a password?
[13:40] <jrib> thomasfedb: /etc/restart?
[13:42] <thomasfedb> jrib, is that required?
[13:43] <slipp3d> anyone around that can help with a fstab issue and mounting a windows share with cifs?
[13:43] <jrib> thomasfedb: no I am asking you if you really mean /etc/restart and not /sbin/restart (or whatever)
[13:44] <thomasfedb> jrib, yes I did mean /sbin/restart. Cheers.
[13:45] <thomasfedb> jrib, thanks. in front of my nose! fixed.
[13:45] <jrib> thomasfedb: np, happens to me all the time :)
[13:46] <Jacta> Anyone tried installing a Brother 4140CN printer on ubuntu?
[13:47] <Jacta> http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#HL-4140CN found this link
[13:47] <navyjack> Running kde program under gnome is real?
[13:48] <LjL> navyjack: "real"? it's certainly very possible.
[13:48] <slipp3d> /<IP_ADDRESS>/software /home/chris/store-software cifs credentials=/home/.creds,files_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0             this is what I'm putting in my fstab does anyone see something that doesn't work?
[13:48] <navyjack> LjL, how i can do that?
[13:48] <genii-around> Jacta: Yes, that shows the printer works with CUPS out of the box on Lucid.
[13:48] <LjL> navyjack: just install the program.
[13:49] <LjL> navyjack: sudo apt-get install your-kde-program
[13:49] <Jacta> genii-around, what does it really means? :/
[13:49] <serdotlin> navyjack:why? just give some space for KDE library under gnome...\o/
[13:49] <DJones> navyjack: I use kde apps on ubuntu (eg k3b) when you install it, it just installs any necessary kde libraries to the installation as required
[13:50] <genii-around> Jacta: That you don't have to install anything special to get your printer working.
[13:50] <Jacta> genii-around, two secs - trying again
[13:52] <Jacta> genii-around, okay - this time it actually worked - tried like 5 times today :/
[13:53] <geirha> slipp3d: missing a / at the start, and is it really /home/.creds and not /home/chris/.creds ?
[13:53] <arlo> Hello, how can i run two server with 1 IP?
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> arlo  1 local IP?
[13:53] <slipp3d> geirha, ya i have the //server and yes I have it in /home/.creds
[13:53] <arlo> no i have public ip
[13:54] <arlo> now there are running af server, but i want to run 1 more
[13:54] <arlo> its are possible?
[13:54] <cornell> Thanks all, TTFN
[13:54] <geirha> slipp3d: Ok, so what happens when you run sudo mount /home/chris/store-software ?
[13:55] <zykotick9> arlo: serving what?  use different port numbers?  apache can easily host multiple sites from 1 IP.
[13:55] <Jacta> genii-around, thanks though for your time :)
[13:55] <slipp3d> geirha,   I get this ......     mount error(13): Permission denied
[13:55] <arlo> arh ok good
[13:56] <arlo> what are best apache or Litespeed Webserver?
[13:56] <genii-around> Jacta: You're welcome
[13:57] <LjL> arlo: Apache is: available in the Ubuntu repositories; free and open source; widely used and scrutinized. do your maths.
[13:57] <geirha> slipp3d: Did a quick google. Apparently you need to supply a domain=... too
[13:57] <slipp3d> geirha, I think that I got it .....
[13:57] <arlo> Yes litespeed its faster,
[13:58] <arlo> and there are free standard edition
[13:58] <yandex2389> LjL: The fact something is "widely scrutinized" does not guarantee quality, look at Debian and the PRNG fiasco. Debian is used by millions. Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with Apache
[13:59] <navyjack> LjL, serdotlin, DJones: Thanks!
[14:01] <slipp3d> geirha, in my .creds file I had           user = name      password = password        domain = domain                             and if I take the spaces out it seems to work
[14:02] <slipp3d> :wq
[14:03] <geirha> slipp3d: Ah, makes sense. The manual doesn't mention anything about whitespace in the credentials file.
[14:04] <slipp3d> geirha,   well now we both know ...

[14:13] <sergeantcupcake> Can anyone recommend a photo editor/organizer for Ubuntu? I want something as good as Picasa or better
[14:13] <sirriffsalot> I created a new partition table on a hard disk and now it is 31mb in size when it should be 500gb... If I make it an extsomething the size is still 31mb:S
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> sergeantcupcake  define 'better'
[14:14] <zykotick9> sergeantcupcake: a single program that does more then one thing, doesn't follow the unix philosophy of "do one thing well".  Gimp is an excellent image editor.  as far as organizer - no suggestions.
[14:15] <Dr_willis_> sirriffsalot,  ive seen 'bad' hard drives have similer issues..
[14:15] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, well, the hard disk is in good shape... it's something I did obviously
[14:15] <sergeantcupcake> zykotick9: Ok! Thanks!
[14:15] <sam1967> hi in the last few days i have an illumited elipse at the bottom of my screen ! how do i get rid of it ?
[14:15] <Dr_willis_> sirriffsalot,  how do you prove its good. :)  you could try zeroing it out with dd, and try repartioning it..
[14:16] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, I tested it less than two days ago:P
[14:16] <sisar> sam1967: can u give a screenshot ?
[14:16] <Dr_willis_> sirriffsalot,  ive had hard drives die  while ive been using them.. thats not really proof its good.
[14:16] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, anyway, yeah, that  might work... Do I wipe 33,345,608 bytes then?
[14:16] <sisar> sam1967: (just to make sure it not a hardware problem)
[14:16] <sirriffsalot> It didn't die while I was using it:D
[14:17] <Dr_willis_> sirriffsalot,  yu may not need to zero out the whole hd. but id let it run for a little bit
[14:17] <sirriffsalot> I reformatted it to MS-DOS and this happened
[14:17] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, but I have no idea what the exact size is.. since it only shows 33mb..
[14:17] <Dr_willis_> you have the partion marked as ext3/4 but formated it to msdos. :)
[14:17] <Dr_willis_> dd will zero out untill it hits the end of the disk.
[14:17] <sam1967> how do i do that ?
[14:18] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, Isn't dd a long line of text? dd if=/dev/sda something
[14:18] <Dr_willis_> !screenshot
[14:18] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, did it a while ago
[14:18] <Dr_willis_> err.. of  would be sda.. if would be /dev/zero or similer..
[14:18] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, is there a command to simply wipe the whole thing?
[14:18] <sergeantcupcake> I would just like to say, since I'm bored: long live Ubuntu!!! :)
[14:18] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, yes, I have the command somewhere, but since I do not know the exact size, what will the commandbe?
[14:18] <sirriffsalot> command be*
[14:19] <pandamensch> hey guys. question for you. I have this rss feed window that I want to stick to the tool bar that I set up on top of the screen, so that when I fullscreen windows, the window doesn't go over the rss feed. Anyone has a clue how I could do this? My rss is tickr.
[14:19] <sam1967> sisar:i press prtscr but nothing happens
[14:20] <Dr_willis_> size wont matter sirriffsalot  it will start writing to the disk, untill it hits the end and errors out.
[14:20] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, with what command?:O
[14:20] <sam1967> sisar: it makes a click but doesnt ask me to save it
[14:21] <zykotick9> sam1967: a straight-forward screenshot is scrot.  "sudo apt-get install scrot" then run "scrot" and you should get a PNG with the date in the name, that you can upload.

[14:27] <h00k> !wireless | codepython777
[14:27] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, wju 2048?
[14:27] <klk> i look up on a site and found some games but  when i try to apt-get  it says unable to locate package
[14:27] <Dr_willis_> sirriffsalot,  see man dd.. bs is the block size to use
[14:28] <bwayne_work> klk, could you share the site?
[14:28] <h00k> klk: some site may not put their things in the repository, you're best to scan the Software Center to find games you can download with apt-get, otherwise you'd have to download them from the site they come from
[14:28] <NurseDad> can no longer connect to my local network but this is a duel boot machine and win 7 works fine, antone else having troubles
[14:28] <klk> http://techgage.com/print/top_10_free_linux_games
[14:28] <NurseDad> forgot to say wireless
[14:29] <h00k> NurseDad: do you have any other details about the wireless adapter?
[14:29] <designbybeck> NurseDad: what kind of computer
[14:29] <klk> how  do i manualy download a  game from a site an  install it the n ??
[14:29] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, so it doesn't really matter as long as it's binary?:P
[14:29] <unknown45682> Could anyone recommend a good tutorial on creating a static IP in the latest Ubuntu? I know how to do it in Windows. I'm just sort of lost on Ubuntu. I need to do this so I can port forward.
[14:29] <NurseDad> h00k where do i go to get the details you need
[14:29] <bwayne_work> klk, which game are you interested in?
[14:29] <h00k> klk: it depends on the game.  You probably want to try to find a .deb to install
[14:30] <compdoc> unknown45682, I think I can help
[14:30] <klk> ok how do i install a deb file
[14:30] <linuxnoob> Can you guys help me out with a small installation issue?
[14:30] <h00k> NurseDad: do you have a computer make/model handy?
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> unknown45682  you need to modify /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf
[14:30] <h00k> klk: double clicking it will open it with the software center
[14:30] <bwayne_work> klk, on the command line, dpkg -i *.deb
[14:30] <NurseDad> h00k: yes Gateway NV53 has been working fine since 12.04 came out
[14:31] <unknown45682> MonkeyDust: I'm a linux noob, so I'm hoping i can get a very clear tutorial on this. I'm not that good with command line but trying to learn.
[14:31] <gustavo> Any one interested in languages ?
[14:31] <linuxnoob> Im trying to install Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 onto my Acer Aspire One 532h (Intel Atom N450) using Wubi
[14:31] <linuxnoob> Getting the bcd store could not be found error
[14:31] <linuxnoob> Any suggestions?
[14:31] <klk> ok thx :D
[14:32] <pentarex> hey guys! I have a question I am running a 3 cron jobs and the first one is on every 5 minutes, the second one on every 8 and the third one is on every 10 minutes. So Is it possible if my first job is not ready to dont trigger the second and the third one
[14:32] <oCean> linuxnoob: Maverick (10.10) is end of lfe, no longer supported
[14:32] <vanfanel_> I need an USB_HDD image of Ubuntu
[14:32] <vanfanel_> is that available?
[14:32] <fuzzynurfhurter> how could u make a wall papper load when linux boots up?
[14:32] <linuxnoob> Thats the only version I can install onto my netbook
[14:32] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_,  sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=2048 took two milliseconds and now what?:D
[14:32] <linuxnoob> oCean
[14:32] <fuzzynurfhurter> can do it by autostart desktop sessions but some 1 said it wasnt the right way
[14:32] <Tomwi> hi, I've just installed ubuntu and I saw that my battery life isn't that great as it is on windows. So I installed powertop and it gave me this as output for the device stats: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7943543/device_stats . As you can see almost every device is at 100%, is this normal or can I do something about it?
[14:32] <Dr_willis_> sirriffsalot,  id sya be looking into buyng a new hd...
[14:33] <unknown45682> Is there a way to create a static IP without using the command line?
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> unknown45682  /etc/network/interfaces like so http://paste.ubuntu.com/1062611/
[14:33] <vanfanel_> USB-HDD images of Debian are available... what about Ubuntu?
[14:33] <oCean> linuxnoob: start with a supported/recent version. If you encounter issues, then report back here and ask for support.
[14:33] <h00k> NurseDad: I'm sorry - I have to step away for a few, check back, or maybe the wireless documents
[14:33] <o2oo> hello
[14:33] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, come on..:/
[14:33] <h00k> !wireless | NurseDad
[14:33] <oCean> linuxnoob: there is no longer a separate netbook edition
[14:33] <philinux> vanfanel_: do you mean an iso you can burn to usb
[14:33] <zykotick9> unknown45682: i feel your getting bad advice.  use network-manager to set a static ip - no cli required.
[14:33] <designbybeck> linuxnoob: why 10.10?
[14:34] <o2oo> I find some apps from Google Play is ".zip" file,  anybody know about this ?
[14:34] <NurseDad> h00k: thank you
[14:34] <Dr_willis_> sirriffsalot,  im serious, sounds like its dead to me
[14:34] <oCean> o2oo: is that an Ubuntu question?
[14:34] <compdoc> vanfanel_, you can create them. Havent seen any already made, but they might exist
[14:34] <h00k> NurseDad: good luck! let us know how it goes.
[14:34] <o2oo> oCean, sorry
[14:34] <MonkeyDust> zykotick9  don't say it's bad, it's just different
[14:34] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, it isn't lol:D Should it be ms-dos. bsd or what?
[14:34] <vanfanel_> philinux: I mean a non-hybrid mode ISO. My old Amilo PI can't boot hybrid mode USB sticks
[14:34] <sergeantcupcake> linuxnoob: why can't you install anything else?
[14:34] <Dr_willis_> if you zeroed it - its UNALLOCATED now..
[14:35] <fuzzynurfhurter> how could u make a wall papper load when linux boots up?
[14:35] <NurseDad> designbybeck: it is a Gateway NV53
[14:35] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: suggesting someone new, to disable n-m and use interfaces file (when they've said they're not good on cli) is bad advice
[14:35] <linuxnoob> @sergeantcupcake - I looked at the wiki. It was the last notebook supported version
[14:35] <h00k> designbybeck: for reference: http://support.gateway.com/s/notebook/2009/gateway/nv/nv53/nv53sp2.shtml
[14:35] <oCean> linuxnoob: there is no longer a separate netbook edition
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> zykotick9  i missed the gui part in the question, i guess
[14:35] <fuzzynurfhurter> how could u make a wall papper load when linux boots up?
[14:35] <fuzzynurfhurter> can do it by autostart desktop sessions but some 1 said it wasnt the right way
[14:35] <fuzzynurfhurter> sry lol
[14:35] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, yes?
[14:36] <sergeantcupcake> linuxnoob: Good idea checking, but I believe that all newer versions will run on netbooks (they may just consume more system resources)
[14:36] <unknown45682> zykotick9: In Ubuntu Software Center it's called "Network (network-manager-gnome)" right? Is that the right one to install?
[14:36] <Dr_willis_> 12.04 works well on my netbook
[14:36] <designbybeck> oh SOrry NurseDad h00k I was just ttrying to get the ball rolling, I am not sure how to trouble shoot that. I just know when someone comes in saying" this doesn't work" the room will ask for more details to better troubleshoot things
[14:37] <h00k> designbybeck: gotcha ;)
[14:37] <zykotick9> unknown45682: are you using server?
[14:37] <sergeantcupcake> linuxnoob: They may not be specifically designated netbook distributions, but I am almost certain that all newer versions will work
[14:37] <unknown45682> no, desktop
[14:37] <NurseDad> ok
[14:37] <VeraMono> ok now
[14:37] <unknown45682> im just doing this so i can download torrents
[14:37] <zykotick9> unknown45682: then it's already installed
[14:37] <sergeantcupcake> VeraMono: Sir Yes Sir!
[14:38] <unknown45682> zykotick9: ah i see. i think you meant "network tools" then
[14:38] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, honestly I just made a new partition table and the size is suddenly shrunk, it can't just be broke because of that
[14:38] <zykotick9> unknown45682: "network tools" might be what ubuntu renames it - but it's network-manager-gnome as you've discovered
[14:38] <Dr_willis_> sirriffsalot,  ive had hds die at any time. If you zeroed it.. it is no longer haveing a partition table either
[14:38] <Dr_willis_> sirriffsalot,  rerun gparted on it and see what it looks like
[14:39] <unknown45682> zykotick9: yea, you're right. cus i see the software center says its already installed
[14:41] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, it's still 31mb with this red exclamation mark
[14:41] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, and unallocated
[14:41] <linuxnoob> This has something to do with the bootloader. The exact error I'm getting is "boot configuration data store could not be opened" (Im trying to install Ubuntu using Wubi on my Win netbook)
[14:42] <linuxnoob> I've tried both 10.10 and 12.04
[14:42] <oCean> linuxnoob: ok, focus on the 12.04 installation, please don't ask for support with 10.10
[14:43] <designbybeck> NurseDad: h00k ... NurseDad is this a new install? can you plug it in with a cable first? Maybe it needs a full update and/or drivers before it will work?
[14:43] <designbybeck> linuxnoob: have you tried a full install and not Wubi?
[14:43] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis_, suggestions...?
[14:44] <Dr_willis_> check your warrenty, and sent it in for replacement
[14:44] <linuxnoob> @designbydeck - I will have to try that now. Downloading at 40KBps is a pain
[14:45] <linuxnoob> @oCean - I've also tried installing 12.04 . I get the same error
[14:45] <unknown45682> zykotick9: thanks for that tip. im using network manager now and i think i might be able to figure it out
[14:46] <zykotick9> unknown45682: it's an option in there somewhere (sorry i don't use N-M so have no idea where).  good luck.
[14:46] <unknown45682> zykotick9: it's ok, i think i've got it. will find out soon enough :)
[14:48] <Humble313> Hi. Are there any cheap wireless usb's that work with ubuntu without having to install any software?
[14:48] <Dr_willis_> Humble313,  bought one on amazon the other day $8 - total plug and play.
[14:48] <yandex2389> Humble313: Yes, look in this list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported where the card type is "USB"
[14:48] <Dr_willis_> Humble313,  check reviews/comments at amazon is what i did. This one is some generic 'panda brand'
[14:48] <genii-around> Humble313: Wireless like wifi or 3g/4g ?
[14:49] <designbybeck> Humble313:  yeah I've used a USB Belkin, cheap worked just fine with Ubuntu
[14:49] <Dr_willis_> dont expect great speeds or long range for the low end ones. ;)
[14:49] <yandex2389> Dr_willis_: You have to be careful with generic devices, the actual chipset can vary a lot
[14:49] <Humble313> yeah i've checked that link out. when i typed lspci -v i couldn't find a wireless section
[14:49] <Humble313> all i saw was ethernet and firewire
[14:49] <genii-around> Almost all Belkins work out of the box
[14:49] <yandex2389> Humble313: You'd only see anything listed once you have actually bought a USB dongle...
[14:49] <genii-around> If it's USB you probably want lsusb and not lspci
[14:50] <zykotick9> genii-around: key word being "Almost" ;)
[14:50] <genii-around> zykotick9: Heh, yes
[14:50] <Humble313> ok hold on i'll try lsusb again
[14:52] <yandex2389> Humble313: That command only lists devices you already have attached to your computer. You said you were looking to buy one...
[14:53] <tjmehta_> Is there a command to figure out what time the last command finished? or anything similar?
[14:53] <designbybeck> genii-around:  along the lines of lsusb and lspci.... i saw somewhere they said you should run lspci as sudo ? but I'm not sure why
[14:53] <zykotick9> designbybeck: lspci does not require sudo, lshw does
[14:54] <designbybeck> hmm what does lshw do zykotick9?
[14:54] <zykotick9> designbybeck: ? it's a 3rd party package of some sort
[14:54] <designbybeck> lists hardware
[14:54] <zykotick9> designbybeck: but it lists hardware ;)
[14:54] <genii-around> designbybeck: It gives you a very comprehensive breakdown of hardware. But some of the probing it does needs admin rights
[14:55] <designbybeck> nice
[14:55] <compdoc> without sudo, you sometimes get limited info
[14:56] <zykotick9> designbybeck: general rule however - don't use sudo unnecessarily
[14:56] <designbybeck> thanks zykotick9 and genii-around
[14:59] <linuxnoob> Some one please help me. Im trying to install Ubuntu onto my Win netbook. Getting error "BCD store could not be opened"
[14:59] <linuxnoob> 12.04
[15:00] <yandex2389> linuxnoob: Have you googled for this? Many answers come back...
[15:00] <Humble313> yeah i already have a wireless usb
[15:01] <Humble313> but it doesn't connect properly so i'm assuming i have to install drivers in a special way
[15:01] <sam1967> this ellipse is really annoying but i cant get rid of it
[15:01] <linuxnoob> @yandex2389 I've tried everything. Nothing seems to work
[15:01] <Humble313> it's realtek rtl8188cus
[15:01] <sam1967> is it possibly malware ?
[15:02] <idefix> Hoe voeg je chinese toetsenborden toe aan Keyboard Layout?
[15:03] <abhinavmehta> is it possible to send some text-message, provided sender is just having IP of receiver...?
[15:03] <DJones> !nl | idefix
[15:03] <yandex2389> Humble313: If it doesn't work with the built-in kernel drivers, the general solution is to use NDISWrapper with the Windows XP drivers
[15:04] <gccster> Where is  postfix-tls package in ubuntu 12.04 ?
[15:04] <abhinavmehta> message will be just a simple text message…and sender don't know what are the apps installed at receiver's-end.
[15:04] <sam1967> how do i take a screenshot ?
[15:04] <abhinavmehta> sam1967: PrintScreen
[15:05] <gccster> there's no more such package?
[15:06] <sam1967> yeah when i use prtsrc it just clicks. no option save it ?
[15:06] <Humble313> ok so download the windows drive and install using ndiswrapper?
[15:06] <habIb> What to use for synaptic in new distr?
[15:07] <coob> [Ubuntu 11.10, Chromium, Firefox] - How could I edit (update) my 'Ubuntu forum biography' (user control panel), while account has less than 50 posts?

[15:09] <asus1025c> i own an intel atom n2800 based netbook and hdmi has been reported to work with 100% free software. 3D acceleration on atom n2800 netbooks  does not work with free as in freedom drivers but i am no gamer.

[15:09] <asus1025c>  my LCD Televsion is not detected by Trisquel and hdmi output does not work either. Has anyone here been able to get hdmi i working with 100% free as in freedom drivers/software on atom n2800 netbooks?
[15:10] <TheM4ch1n3> asus1025c: probably, and most of them have left posts on a post board, but a few may be here .. ?
[15:10] <zykotick9> asus1025c: asking FAIF questions in ubuntu - is a waste of time... ubuntu != FAIF (in any way).  Yes trisquel is based on ubuntu, but it's not ubuntu.
[15:11] <Multiply> Why is there no 64-bit small ami's for eu-west-1?
[15:11] <asus1025c> GNU/Linux Trisquel is based on Ubuntu and i am running kernel 3.4.x compiled by jxself http://jxself.org/linux-libre/

[15:12] <asus1025c> no, it is not a waste of time since i personally know people who run ubuntu with 100% software libre including linux-libre. Alas none of them on atom 2800 based networks
[15:12] <oCean> asus1025c: it is not supported here
[15:12] <asus1025c> no, it is not a waste of time since i personally know people who run ubuntu with 100% software libre including linux-libre. Alas none of them on atom 2800 based netbooks
[15:12] <zykotick9> designbybeck: if you're adventurous you could also try uzbl - it's different.  but very light, and uses webkit.
[15:12] <designbybeck> ah yes i would like some webkit features
[15:14] <asus1025c>  i followed instructions  (POST #94)  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1953734&page=10   which are meant for UBUNTU users but can also be followed by Ubuntu based distros
[15:14] <oCean> Multiply: I have no idea what that even is..
[15:14] <sam1967> yeah when i use prtsrc it just clicks. no option save it ?
[15:14] <oCean> asus1025c: maybe. Still, it is offtopic here. Please stop
[15:14] <Multiply> oCean: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/ <- But I guess small instances are limited to 32-bit. I don't know? >_<
[15:15] <idefix> DJones, the dutch aren't replying, so let me ask here:
[15:15] <idefix> how do you add a chinese keyboard to "Keyboard Layout"?
[15:15] <designbybeck> oh boy...now I gotta go learn how to use uzbl!
[15:15] <asus1025c> oCean, if discussing UBUNTU Forum postings is off topic here is off topic, where is it appropriate to do so?
[15:16] <zykotick9> designbybeck: as i said "it's different" ;)
[15:16] <crackofdawn> If I modify the chunk size of a raid 5 (mdadm), and then modify the stride and stripe_width of the ext4 FS on it, will this cause any problems, and how will the existing data on the FS be affected?
[15:16] <Jon--> I am having difficulties setting up syslogd on ubuntu 12.04. I have rsyslogd installed but it isn't a listed service (service command or /etc/init.d), however sysklogd is, even though the default on ubuntu is supposed to be rsyslogd and I don't have the sysklogd package installed.
[15:16] <Jagst3r15> anyone know if the Skype in the ubuntu repos will be updated to skype 4.0?
[15:16] <oCean> asus1025c: maybe in Trisquel support channels or general channel like ##linux?
[15:16] <oCean> Multiply: oh, that. I don't know either, but it seems that way?
[15:16] <dysoco> Hello, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity3D ... for some reason, when I minimize Gnome-Terminal or Terminator it just closes... but Xterm does not and shows in Unity as it's supposed to do... any ideas why this happen ?
[15:16] <Jon--> issuing a logger ---- command, even with p emerg, does not log.
[15:17] <Jon--> eventually I want to do remote syslogd, but for now I can't even get syslog logging locally
[15:17] <compdoc> crackofdawn, if you change those settings after the raid holds data, you'll likely lose it all
[15:17] <asus1025c> oCean, i tried those channels and they told me to come here to discuss UBUNTU forum postings
[15:17] <zykotick9> Jagst3r15: usually (there are a couple of exceptions - firefox) packages don't get version updates after release
[15:17] <crackofdawn> compdoc: according to man mdadm that isn't true
[15:17] <Jagst3r15> zykotick9 that is kind of dumb
[15:17] <oCean> asus1025c: well, they were wrong. This channel is for officialy recognized derivatives only
[15:17] <crackofdawn> compdoc: you can run mdadm --grow --backup-file=/file --chunk=<whatever> /dev/md/whatever
[15:18] <crackofdawn> and it will do it online
[15:18] <zykotick9> Jagst3r15: ubuntu != rolling release
[15:18] <Jagst3r15> because then for 5 years u have out of date?
[15:18] <crackofdawn> it uses the backup file to rebuild the entire array keeping the data intact
[15:18] <zykotick9> Jagst3r15: try 6 months...
[15:18] <Jagst3r15> what about the LTS?
[15:18] <zykotick9> Jagst3r15: oh if you don't upgrade - then ya
[15:19] <Jagst3r15> so pretty much the software center is worthless in LTS
[15:19] <Jagst3r15> might as well download from the skype official site
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> Jagst3r15  the S in LTS means Support
[15:19] <Jagst3r15> i understand but outside of a few applications like gedit, firefox a lot of stuff is out of date
[15:20] <MonkeyDust> Jagst3r15  you mean non-GPL or commercial 3rd party software?
[15:20] <oCean> Jagst3r15: it depends on your need. If you require latest, Ubuntu is probably not the right distribution. If you require stable, choose Ubuntu
[15:20] <Pici> !latest
[15:21] <LjL> although, Skype is in the partner repo, i'm not sure that follows the usual rules.
[15:21] <Jon--> I am having difficulties setting up syslogd on ubuntu 12.04. I have rsyslogd installed but it isn't a listed service (service command or /etc/init.d), however sysklogd is, even though the default on ubuntu is supposed to be rsyslogd and I don't have the sysklogd package installed. Issuing a logger command, even with -p X.emerg, does not log to anything in /var/log locally. Eventually want remote for now even local syslogd is broken. D:
[15:21] <zykotick9> oCean: i have the exact opposite opinion.  i think of ubuntu as being cutting edge
[15:21] <oCean> ok
[15:24] <yandex2389> zykotick9: Ubuntu isn't cutting edge... it has to cope with the inertia of the stability-focused Debian project. Fedora is the cutting edge distribution, Red Hat develop a lot of the Linux infrastructure after all

[15:27] <patie> apache htdocs must be in /var/www right ?
[15:27] <yandex2389> patie: That's the default I think. It can be changing in your apache config though.
[15:28] <etfb> Just installed Precise (64bit) on a new deskop machine with dual DVI monitors.  It works when I plug one in using VGA, but I get blank screen with DVI.  Can't even Ctrl+Alt+F1.  Can I fix it, or is it time to learn braille?
[15:28] <patie> yandex2389: yes its default, but normal user cannot write to this directory.. so what is solution ? chmod ? symlink ? or what
[15:28] <bobg> when I try to install lucid LTS on a new server, the Inter i350 NICs are not recognized. I think that the driver is not present in the installer. How is that supposed to work? Are new installers released over the life of an LTS?
[15:28] <klk> how do i get virtualbox ????
[15:29] <codepython7771> still no luck with Linksys AE1000 on ubuntu LTS 12.04.
[15:29] <compdoc> bobg, the newer the os, the better the device support  (drivers)
[15:29] <geeksonhugs_> hello
[15:29] <geeksonhugs_> sorry
[15:30] <yandex2389> bobg: Drivers are present in a kernel, not the installer specifically. If it's enterprise level hardware, try Red Hat/Cent OS. It's more likely to have the driver for NICs
[15:30] <codepython7771> I'll try redhat
[15:30] <drag0nius> is there some way to reduce size of data sent to IPP printer (or whatever it was called) by win7? I'm printing 2 PDF pages and it took 90 mb data to transfer o.O
[15:31] <drag0nius> im connecting to ubuntu server sharing printer unsupported by win7
[15:31] <OerHeks> bobg, intel i350 is supported, you must have been doing something wrong >> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci:8086:1521-NETWORK/
[15:32] <klk> MonkeyDust,  how do i get vbox ???
[15:32] <MonkeyDust> klk  virtualbox is in the software center
[15:32] <klk> MonkeyDust,  thx
[15:33] <etfb> Does Ubuntu work with DVI, or do I need to use VGA?
[15:33] <patie> solved.
[15:33] <drag0nius> dont see any reason it wouldnt work with DVI
[15:34] <LjL> etfb: i use DVI just fine, i don't think that has anything to do with the OS
[15:34] <bobg> OerHeks, that page does not mention which ubuntu version the support is in -- how do I confirm whether or not its supportted in lucid (10.04) LTS
[15:34] <BluesKaj> etfb, it works with whatever resolution your ghraphics card and monitor can muster with VGA, DVI or HDMI
[15:34] <etfb> drag0nius: I can see two examples where it doesn't -- my two monitors.  How on earth do I debug it?
[15:34] <sam1967> yeah when i use prtsrc it just clicks. no option to save it ?
[15:34] <OerHeks> bobg it is, for years.
[15:34] <gmachine_24> I am wanting to encrypt a portion of my hard drive. TrueCrypt is failing me. (I'm running 10.04lts 64bit). Is there an encryption program in the Ubuntu packages?
[15:35] <OerHeks> bobg i suggest try ubuntu 12.04.
[15:35] <etfb> I couldn't even run the installer till I plugged in a VGA cable.  I was hoping I could boot with the DVI cable and it would Just Work.
[15:35] <xrfang> hi, how do I report a bug about power management? symptom is laptop does not sleep when the lid is closed once, but does when closed twice
[15:36] <BluesKaj> etfb, do you have a separate graphics pci card , but if so you need to set it as default in the bios
[15:36] <bobg> OerHeks, we need to use lucid on production machines until we QA our custom app in 12.04
[15:36] <etfb> BluesKaj: ah, ok.  I'll try that.  Thanks.
[15:38] <drag0nius> etfb whats your graphic card?
[15:39] <klk> i got a huge issue    my windows  keep freezing ,, i have to minimize  them and the maximize them  again before  they  unfreeze
[15:39] <drag0nius> i know there are some models which do not yet have drivers for 12.04 (like mine gtx 560)
[15:40] <etfb> OK... set PCIE as the default; no luck.  Trying PCI next.
[15:40] <drag0nius> i have no problems dual monitors one for DVI other with VGA->DVI adapter
[15:40] <etfb> drag0nius: No idea yet.  They threw it in at the last minute so I could get the dual monitors to work, and I haven't seen the specs.
[15:41] <drag0nius> then check it, nvidia has delays with drivers for linux OS
[15:41] <as> hello
[15:41] <as> what wrong with this code : NameVirtualHost *.
[15:41] <as> I get error : [error] (EAI 5)No address associated with hostname: Could not resolve host name *. -- ignoring!
[15:42] <jalal> HELLY peoples i having problem in ubunt 12.04
[15:42] <jalal> i dont know if this is bug in ubuntu or what
[15:42] <etfb> No luck with PCI either.
[15:42] <jalal> needed help
[15:42] <drag0nius> then state your problem
[15:43] <codepython7771> how does one get smart data out of a ssd in ubuntu?
[15:43] <jalal> i cant install software from software center
[15:43] <drag0nius> getting any error message or sth?
[15:43] <jalal> no
[15:44] <jalal> when i click on install nothing happend
[15:44] <Vinster69> have you looked at Disk Utility for smart data
[15:44] <compdoc> codepython7771, I use disk util, but I dont have ssd drives running ubuntu at the moment
[15:44] <jalal> i check all
[15:44] <drag0nius> you tried apt-get?
[15:44] <bobg> OerHeks, I confirmed that igb.ko is in the initrd.gz file of the lucid installer, but still the installer complains that there are no network interfaces installed.  do you have any ideas?
[15:44] <drag0nius> so we know if its software center or something else
[15:44] <jalal> yes i tried
[15:45] <etfb> drag0nius: Woot! Setting it to default to the motherboard worked.
[15:45] <etfb> Thanks!
[15:45] <jalal> i reformat my pc .but still same
[15:45] <jalal> apt-get working fine
[15:45] <Antonis> Helll folks. I have a problem with ubuntu 12.04. Yesterday all alt+fkeys stopped working. Like ALt+F4 to close active window.. how should I fix it?
[15:45] <hippiehacker> https://gist.github.com/3004812 # a question regarding metapackages and dependencies, 'apt-get install -y ubuntu-virt-mgmt ; apt-get autoremove -y ubuntu-virt-mgmt' leaves behind the dependencies but 'apt-get install -y virt-manager ; apt-get autoremove -y virt-manager' removes it's dependencies...
[15:45] <codepython7771> compdoc: I'll try disk util
[15:46] <jalal> any can solve my problem?
[15:46] <atmouse> After installed systemd. My /home path could't mounted on system booting?
[15:46] <OerHeks> bobg how many NICs do you have on that machine?
[15:46] <resno> you can set ssh to listen onmupltiple ports right?
[15:46] <Vinster69> Antonis see if system settings > keyboard > shortcuts gives you an ide
[15:46] <genii-around> drag0nius: I'm not sure where you're getting the idea your gtx560 is not supported by the driver in 12.04 ... the driver is version 295.40 and gtx is quite clearly on the Supported Products at http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-295.40-driver (64bit) and at http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-295.40-driver ( 32 bit)
[15:46] <drag0nius> its heavily bugged
[15:46] <bobg> OerHeks, two -- built in to the MB  ( a third for the IPMI on the MB)
[15:46] <atmouse> My /home is on a raid disk
[15:46] <drag0nius> at least on 64bit
[15:47] <drag0nius> 2 screens not working at all, and quite often crashing GUI
[15:47] <bobg> OerHeks, its a new gen Supermicro X9 motherboard
[15:47] <jalal> any help regarding to software center
[15:48] <drag0nius> maybe try running it from terminal (idk why) and check if it throws sth into it
[15:48] <BluesKaj> jalal, what are you trying to do ?
[15:48] <jalal> i am not able to install software from software center
[15:48] <ali_> quit
[15:48] <drag0nius> nothing happens when he presses install button, apt-get working fine
[15:48] <etfb> Oh dear. It's NVIDIA all right.  And although I can now boot, I can't detect the 2nd monitor...\
[15:48] <ali_> close
[15:49] <compdoc> jalal, you click install and nothing happens?
[15:49] <jalal> yes
[15:49] <compdoc> that happens to me all the time. its a bug
[15:49] <jalal> nothing happend,apt-get works fine,synaptic works fine ,only software center
[15:49] <compdoc> I use apt-get
[15:49] <BluesKaj> jalal,make sure you have all the repositories enabled in the software center , except for the cdrom
[15:49] <Antonis> Vinster69, thanks.. I wanted to know what made it stop working but I found out that flock was disabled so fkeys didn't work :\
[15:50] <jalal> i have fresh installation sir
[15:50] <jalal> i reformat but nothing solve
[15:50] <compdoc> jalal, its supposed to ask for a password to install, but doesnt
[15:50] <jalal> i know but when i click on install nothing ,happend it like install button is not highlited
[15:50] <BluesKaj> jalal, if you are directinga question or comment at someone use their nick
[15:51] <Vinster69> Antonis, ah well at least you found out relatively quick :)
[15:51] <jalal> no brother i am facing this problem
[15:51] <compdoc> someday, I imagine they will fix it
[15:51] <jalal> i am using ubunt 12.04
[15:51] <OerHeks> bobg still looking for any clue, can't find any :(
[15:51] <jalal> @bkueska any solution?
[15:52] <BluesKaj> BBL ... stuff to do
[15:52] <OerHeks> bobg i understand you cannot deploy 12.04 untill 12.04.1 ??
[15:53] <klk> i need a good  drawing ptogram for linux..  any ideas ?
[15:54] <drag0nius> afaik gimp is way to go
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> klk: drawing in what way?
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> !away ? dark3n|off
[15:54] <klk> ActionParsnip, scetching and drawing
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> !away > dark3n|off
[15:54] <VeraMono> is there a theme editor in 12.04
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> klk: gimp is a lot like photoshoop etc, mtpaint is decent too. tuxpaint and gpaint are a lot like mspaint
[15:55] <klk> ActionParsnip, i need programs bether than paint
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> klk: gimp is fully featured
[15:56] <klk> ActionParsnip,  thx
[15:56] <etfb> ActionParsnip: tuxpaint is nothing like MSPaint!  You want KolourPaint, klk.
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> http://www.geocities.jp/ono_tetsu/tuxpaint/tuxpaint_scrshot.jpg    tuxpaint is cool
[15:56] <etfb> And Gpaint is woeful. Bugridden and featureless.  KolourPaint is the best available equivalent by miles.
[15:57] <etfb> ActionParsnip: Cool, yes, but nothing like MSPaint.  It's a kid's adventure playground, not a serious paint program.
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> etfb: sure but its Qt based so will pull in a truckload of packages as deps
[15:57] <etfb> No, it's not that bad.  And it's not like hard disks cost anything.
[15:57] <i38> help: trying to understand ubuntu and multi core cpus. do i still need an smp kernel to make it work? or is it only for older versions? uname says "generic", will this work?
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> etfb: Need to get 68.6 MB of archives. After this operation, 181 MB of additional disk space will be used.
[15:57] <mithran> hai while i am booting  i cant find my windows ? What shall i do???
[15:57] <alankila> i38: smp vanished long time ago.
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> etfb: yeah, for a basic graphic package, not practical
[15:58] <as> hmm
[15:58] <i38> alankila: thanks :)
[15:58] <etfb> Yeah.  Fifteen sents worth.  There's literally no alternative, anyhow.
[15:58] <alankila> i38: a runtime kernel patching technology was designed that can convert smp kernels into uniprocessor kernels when smp is not desired, which eliminated the performance impact that harmed uniprocessor
[15:58] <alankila> consequently, all kernels are now smp
[15:59] <genii-around> mithran: Does sudo fdisk -l| grep NTFS        give you some result?
[16:00] <angs> I plugged a usb wifi doggle. how can I see  what chipset it has?
[16:00] <arkymad> I am trying this live ubuntu based distro and the french kb layout is driving me nuts. there is no GUI to fix it.  can anyone suggest a fix
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> angs: sudo lshw -C network; lsusb
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> arkymad: are you not using a french keyboard?
[16:01] <angs> ActionParsnip: thank you
[16:01] <self> If any one from last night is on that was helping me. thanks a bunch!
[16:02] <arkymad> ActionParsnip: nope -- US
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> arkymad: then if you go into keyboard settings, you can switch it
[16:02] <mithran> genii-around: while i am doing this   [sudo] password for incharge:  /dev/sda1   *          63   102912389    51456163+   7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda5       309749760   475631615    82940928    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda6       475633664   625135615    74750976    7  HPFS/NTFS/exFAT incharge@gsoffice:~$
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> arkymad: if you list all the installed apps, you will see a keyboard icon
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> mithran: if you use a patebin, it's actually readable
[16:03] <arkymad> ActionParsnip: it is madbox. very stripped down
[16:03] <genii-around> angs: Those commands will not usually show you the chipset directly. But copy the device:vendor code and if you google it, it will usually show you the exact product which you can then look up the detailed specs for
[16:03] <mithran> wat is pat bin
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> !info madbox
[16:03] <Pici> !pastebin
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> arkymad: what is madbox?
[16:03] <mithran> ActionParsnip:  What is apat  bin??????????????
[16:04] <angs> genii-around: thanks
[16:04] <self> if i could bug some one for some more help. I am trying to boot from the ssd, ubuntu is installed, i see it installed. but it will not boot from it. where should i start? it will only boot from my USB drive
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> mithran: no idea, the only instance I can see of 'apat  bin' is when you asked...
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> arkymad: is it this: http://madbox.tuxfamily.org/
[16:05] <arkymad> yes
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> arkymad: then its not supported here, this is ubuntu support only
[16:05] <compdoc> self, some computers dont play well with ssd. is it an older box?
[16:05] <Pici> mithran: ActionParsnip meant a pastebin. http://paste.ubuntu.com
[16:06] <arkymad> right:  assume i am on an ubuntu CLI only server
[16:06] <self> its a little old... it sees the ssd, shows me how much space the install is taking up ect
[16:06] <genii-around> mithran: Good, it means your windows partitions are still there. At boot time do you see GRUB boot screen showing a list of operating systems you can choose? Or it just starts loading Ubuntu?
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> arkymad: your distro isn't supported here
[16:06] <ActionParsnip> arkymad: this is ubuntu support only, none of the 'ubuntu based' distros are supported here
[16:06] <self> 05-06 was the last time it was used, but it was top of the line then.
[16:06] <MonkeyDust> arkymad  are you using ubuntu right now?
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> MonkeyDust: its some spinoff distro
[16:08] <arkymad> MonkeyDust: as he says.  I have CLI and not much else
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> arkymad: ^
[16:09] <lycosa> !bot
[16:09] <mwozniak00> Hi
[16:09] <mwozniak00> any chance to repair this? do I need to manually compile the module?
[16:09] <arkymad> ActionParsnip: just so.  I was hoping for a tell from some friendly person in the channel.
[16:09] <mwozniak00> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/987948
[16:09] <quaisi> hi i'm having problems with grub - i have a multiboot setup of windows 7 on one hard drive and ubuntu 12.04 on the other. with a separate / and /home partition.  I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 and I get an error <insert uid> cannot be found
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> quaisi: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
[16:10] <self> What should my settings be for the partitions, ubuntu is the only os and only thing on this new ssd. i have ubuntu booting from my USB drive
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> arkymad  it's not a question of being friendly, it's a question of where to draw the line
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> self: the defaults will be ok
[16:11] <arkymad> MonkeyDust: understood which is why i was hoping for a tell
[16:11] <quaisi> thanks ActionParsnip I will check that out
[16:11] <arkymad> sorry to have been a bother
[16:11] <self> actionparsnip , well then there must be a reason this thing wont boot from the ssd. im hoping i dont need to get a new hdd.. any pointers on where to look
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> arkymad: if you want a light OS, install ubuntu minimal then install openbox
[16:12] <compdoc> self, best to let the ubuntu installer decide on the partitions
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> self: what happens when you try to boot?
[16:12] <self> compdoc, its currently using the defults now
[16:12] <arkymad> self -- have you checked your mobo boot order
[16:13] <mithran> genii-around: just asking which vertion you want po install and not showing any windows ??????????
[16:13] <self> ive gone though the boot order but that is where i hit a snag, it dosnt give me the options to boot from a ssd. i select hard disk and nothing happens
[16:13] <self> it gose to that DMI verfiy hang
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> self: what GPU do you use?
[16:14] <self> ive gone though the settings and im looking for mobo bios directions
[16:14] <arkymad> self: if your mobo attaches to ssd via sata; you ought to be able to treat it as an hdd
[16:14] <genii-around> Hm
[16:15] <self> actionparsnip, hosestly i dont know.
[16:15] <MCl0vin> good day folks
[16:15] <peterpunkz>  /load .xchat2/budus.so
[16:15] <MCl0vin> i am getting this error when i try to update http://pastebin.com/xPCKnqG9
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> self: does the system have a make and model?
[16:16] <self> actionparsnip, its a custom system built by my late father. so ive been kinda tossed into it. its a megabyte mobo with a amd dual core 3800
[16:16] <peterpunkz>  /load .xchat2/budus.so
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> self: I'd boot to the live USB and run:  lspci | grep -i vga
[16:16] <genii-around> mithran: So this is booting from the cdrom and not booting from the hard drive then
[16:17] <peterpunkz>  /load .xchat2/budus.so
[16:18] <self> actionparsnip, how would i go about doing that. thanks for the help bty
[16:18] <DJones> peterpunkz: You need to get rid of the space in front of the /load command, otehrwise it'll just keep getting shown in the channel
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> self: press CTRL+ALT+T   and you can run it there
[16:21] <mithran> genii-around:  no aktully both Windows and linux worked in my system ?
[16:22] <genii-around> mithran: Can you put here EXACTLY what it is saying ?
[16:22] <self> actionparsnip, vga compatible controller, nvidia 670 gforce 7800 gtx
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> self: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1    to the installed OS and then you will get a display, you can then install the proprietary driver and be ok
[16:24] <self> actionparsnip, where would i add that exactly
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | self
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> self: just use the nouveau.blacklist=1 in it;s place, same method
[16:25] <jamiejackson> i don't know if this is virtualbox-related or not: in my ubuntu (guest), if I go to a tty, i get a blank,black, screen. no cursor, no anything. it appears that i can issue commands there (blindly), though. know how to fix?
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | jamiejackson
[16:25] <mithran> actually my computr worked both windows and linux
[16:25] <mithran> but today i cant find the windows in it?
[16:26] <BLakchat> hi
[16:27] <mdh> I have a question about x forwarding over ssh. Is there a way to forward the entire desktop environment over ssh-x forwarding kinda like vnc?
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> mdh: you can run nautilus afaik, sleeker just to run the app you need.
[16:27] <jamiejackson> ActionParsnip: so that will cause problems with tty, as well? i've got no other graphics/splash problems, that i know of
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> !away > Dr4g|Away
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> jamiejackson: its worth a try, it is free
[16:28] <jamiejackson> ActionParsnip: will try
[16:28] <BLakchat> where i can scan bot php?
[16:28] <genii-around> mithran: so then if it is booting into Ubuntu, what is this " just asking which version you want to install and not showing any windows "  thing you said?
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> mdh: also remember to connect also with the -C option to enable compression
[16:29] <mdh> i can run nautilus, but the top bar does not show up
[16:29] <rabbi1> how can i set permission on a folder for a specific username ?
[16:29] <sphinx> Hello guys. I have a question about some error. When I tried to install the font dotnet20 appeared this message to me: "dotnet20 install completed, but installed file /home/leo/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/mscorlib.dll not found".
[16:29] <rabbi1> sudo chmod username 777 * ?
[16:29] <trijntje> Hi all, my laptop has no wireless internet, gives the following error: "Fatal DMA error. This device does not support DMA on your system. It will now be switched to PIO"
[16:30] <sphinx> I have the Framework v4.0 installed but the winetricks always puts me in that track.
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: 777 is not advised, its very unsecure
[16:31] <genii-around> trijntje: That is a hard drive or CDrom controller error. But the driver is reverting to a slower mode to be able to use it.
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: you can use chown to set the owner
[16:31] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: that's ok, that my we directory and i am the only user, and i am the owner of that folder ...
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: you can then set the access of the owner using chmod, you can also set the group owner and give users access in that group
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: if you are the owner then you can give yourself the access you need
[16:32] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: i just did 777 and owner is still myself, is this insecure ?
[16:33] <Monotoko> 777 is a horrible habit
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: 777 gives literally anyone and everyone full access
[16:33] <trijntje> genii-around, are you sure? The error seems to be comming from "b43-phy0", which would be my broadcom bcm4318 wireless card
[16:33] <rabbi1> Monotoko: yeah, but is someone don't know for which folder they are changing the access to ;)
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: if you are the only user then 700 will give full access
[16:34] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: ok, that what i was expecting i guess :)
[16:34] <Monotoko> rabbi1, we're all guilty of 777 at some point, but I was just pointing it out :P
[16:34] <pim_> How do I set screen brightness? I am asking since this feature is not found under 'Brightness and lock'
[16:34] <BLakchat> where i can get a free root?
[16:35] <Henk7171> Hey , I want to put an ubuntu based disto on my USB flashdrive and would like it to make use of the toram option. If i add toram to grub4dos it tries to put the entire usbdrive on the ramdisk wich does not fit. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[16:35] <rabbi1> Monotoko: always to good to mention .... :)
[16:35] <genii-around> trijntje: I've never heard of that error in relation to a wifi adapter, only HD/CD etc... but I suppose it's possible
[16:35] <genii-around> trijntje: Did you visit yet the help page for broadcoms?
[16:35] <genii-around> !bcm
[16:36] <jamiejackson> no dice, ActionParsnip, but thx
[16:36] <BLakchat> help
[16:36] <OerHeks> Henk7171, use Unetbootin for win/mac/linux or the usb-creator in the live mode
[16:36] <jamiejackson> i don't know if this is virtualbox-related or not: in my ubuntu (guest), if I go to a tty, i get a blank,black, screen. no cursor, no anything. it appears that i can issue commands there (blindly), though. know how to fix? ( nomodeset doesn't have an effect)
[16:36] <delinquentme> whats the tool that I want to us to replace a simple string in a bunch of files?
[16:37] <trijntje> genii-around, thanks, I'll try that. I should also add that its a regression, it used to work fine untill I went on vacation for a week ;)
[16:37] <genii-around> !b43 | trijntje   Sorry, first factoid was general, this is the specific page for that series
[16:37] <alankila> delinquentme: perl -pi -e 's/foo/bar/g' file list goes here
[16:37] <Henk7171> @oerheks , that will create a Ubuntu live usb wich is not what i am looking for. I am making a multiboot usb with an ubuntu distro already on it. But i want it to copy itself to the ram using the casper toram option. I would like to know how to do this without it trying to copy all contents of the flashdrive wich wont fit.
[16:37] <alankila> also take backups to limit effect of making mistake
[16:37] <delinquentme> sed
[16:37] <pim_> How am I supposed to set the screen brightness in ubuntu? This feature is not found under 'Brightness and lock' in the gnome settings.
[16:38] <delinquentme> pim that can be driver related
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> pim_: does the system have a make and model?
[16:38] <delinquentme> and you might have keyboard shortcuts for it
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> jamiejackson: are you booting liveCD or is it installed OK? Have you also asked in #vbox ?
[16:39] <trijntje> genii-around, Networking is magically up again now, so maybe it will stay up if I'm lucky. Thanks for your help
[16:39] <Dr_willis_> Henk7171,  you can set grub2 to boot the ISO file and use the disrtos toram option, which should put just the ISO in ram.. mabey..
[16:39] <jamiejackson> #vbox told me it was my guest os, ActionParsnip . this is an installed ubuntu guest in vbox, not a livecd. the installation works fine, otherwise
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> jamiejackson: tried changin the display settings of the vbox
[16:40] <pim_> ActionParsnip nvidia 8600GT standard drivers
[16:40] <Henk7171> @dr_willis i have not tried this yet as it usually only caches the bootloader when it loads the iso making it unable to find the other contents and search for a cd all the time
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> pim_: does the system have a make and model? Not just the display device
[16:40] <Dr_willis_> Henk7171,  dont use @foo on irc... no need for it..
[16:40] <Dr_willis_> !tab
[16:41] <pim_> ActionParsnip no, itÅ's a desktop
[16:41] <Dr_willis_> good luck. said about all i can think of on the topic. Off to play some skyrim befor i goe to bed. :)
[16:41] <xero2501> @find The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
[16:41] <xero2501> @search The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
[16:41] <xero2501> @seek The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
[16:42] <Dr_willis_> @ on irc = channel op....    so its sort of goofy to use it that way. :)
[16:42] <jamiejackson> ActionParsnip: there aren't too many display settings for guests. just memory, monitor count (1), 2d acceleration (unchecked), and 3d acceleration (unchecked)
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> pim_: fine, Dell Dimension E310   is a desktop system and has a make and model. One last time, does the system have a make and model?
[16:42] <BluesKaj> xero2501, you have the wrong chat , no warez or apps here
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> jamiejackson: enable 2D accel
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> pim_: its either a home build, or it has a make and model.
[16:43] <Henk7171> I have tried looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM but this article seems outdated and just recommands adding the toram command
[16:43] <pim_> ActionParsnip, no it is home built
[16:43] <kapz> hippiehacker, am trying to install a program through playonlinux but it asks for cd-rom, I have iso file..how do I mount it as a virtual cd in virtual rom drive?
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> pim_: then the answer when I first asked was that, not 'it's a desktop'  isn't it?
[16:45] <jamiejackson> ActionParsnip: it turns out 2d acceleration is for windows guests, only
[16:46] <genii-around> kapz: Have you tried loop-mounting the iso and then pointing Wine to the directory the image is mounted as as if it is a physical cd drive?
[16:46] <amaroks> Hi, my ubuntu laptop has a hardware switch for WIFI device, I have another external WIFI device plugged and I only want the external to work so I switch the internal off but it seems that ubuntu switch all WIFI devices off when I slide that buttons!
[16:46] <Dr_willis_> kapz,  mount it somewhere, cd into the directory. and run the installer.. most games see the files that way for me befor.
[16:46] <pim_> ActionParsnip gnome does not have a setting for brightness in desktop mode
[16:46] <sunshinehappy> when I run vidalia it cannot connect to the debian-tor users tor, but if I kill that it can launch its own and connect to it. Any ideas what I should do so that vidalia can connect to the debian-tor instance?
[16:46] <pim_> ActionParsnip use xgamma -gamma f.f for setting brightness
[16:47] <kapz> genii-around, I have no idea what loop-mounting is..
[16:48] <genii-around> !iso | kapz
[16:48] <kapz> Dr_willis_, I used acetoneiso qand mounted the cd in home drive, however playonlinux still complains..
[16:49] <Dr_willis_> kapz,  for mosyt all the windows games ive tried. to INstall the game.. i could mount the cd and either copy the files to the wine c: or just cd to the mounted dir and run 'wine theinstaller.exe'
[16:49] <Dr_willis_> kapz,  the installer saw the game files were in the same dir it was launched from and normally installs fine.. Now any COPY PROTECTION, well.. thats a whole differnt issue..
[16:50] <genii-around> kapz: eg: something like sudo mount -o loop /home/mynamehere/mycdimagefile.iso /mnt        then, in Wine Configuration, under Drives tab, to put /mnt as a cd drive
[16:51] <qbert_> anyone know what package has the X headers ?  Trying to build emacs24
[16:51] <kapz> Dr_willis_, no what happens is the ready script from playonlinux fails to load the exe file or the iso file...
[16:51] <johwes> Hi iam going to install ubuntu 12.04 and xcp-api..  xcp and citrix xenserver use 32-bit dom0  shuld i install 32bit ubuntu server then ? or what are the benfits with 32/x64 dom0 ?
[16:51] <amaroks> Hi, my ubuntu laptop has a hardware switch for WIFI device, I have another external WIFI device plugged and I only want the external to work so I switch the internal off but it seems that ubuntu switch all WIFI devices off when I slide that buttons!
[16:52] <SkippersBoss> sunshinehappy,  please try the #vidalia channel on irc://irc.oftc.net:6667
[16:52] <compdoc> johwes, I use qemu-kvm, and the benfits of 64bit are many
[16:52] <kapz> genii-around, well playonlinux has somewhat prebuilt scripts for certain games and that GUI script does not give the optioon to copy/paste files...
[16:54] <SkippersBoss> amaroks, are both wifi adaptors being recognised in nm-applet ?
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> pim_: had to nip out, did you find a solution?
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> kapz: is the CD mounted as executable?
[16:57] <cosmic> Hi all...
[16:57] <rabbi1> rhythmbox doesn't show up in notification on 12.04 ?????
[16:57] <cosmic> doea anybody know how to stop Ubunto booting straight into GUI mode ?
[16:57] <zykotick9> !text | cosmic
[16:58] <cosmic> so I just get a command line and start gui manually
[16:58] <zykotick9> cosmic: OR you can disable lightdm from starting automatically
[16:58] <tMH> ppl, I'm trying to run ircII and getting this:
[16:58] <tMH> irc: No termcap entry for vt102.
[16:58] <tMH> how to fix that?:/
[16:58] <tMH> 10x in advance!
[16:58] <tMH> no termcap for linux either
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> cosmic: sure, just add the boot option:  text
[16:59] <cosmic> ok i'll try that now - thanks all
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> tMH: http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/screen_15.html
[17:00] <kishs1991> top
[17:01] <kapz> ActionParsnip, how do I mount it as executable?
[17:02] <BobMarley> hi, is there a way to disable the graphical card?
[17:02] <tMH> ActionParsnip - thanks, but it's not about screen, but about ircII:)
[17:02] <BobMarley> i want to drop the power consumption
[17:03] <compdoc> BobMarley, does it have an onboard vid card?
[17:03] <BobMarley> compdoc, yes nvidia geforce 9300m gs
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> kapz: sudo mkdir /media/cdrom; sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom -o exec,ro
[17:04] <compdoc> BobMarley, you log in remotely? I doubt it uses much power displaying the login screen
[17:05] <trijntje_> Hi all, I keep losing/regaining wireless on my laptop. When I lose it, it gives the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1062853/
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> kapz: man mount    will show you most things
[17:05] <kapz> ActionParsnip, and after that should I loop-mount the iso image?
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> kapz: if you are mounting an ISO, use the same option, just use the usual loopmount method
[17:06] <BobMarley> compdoc, i am not loging in remotedly. if it is not consuming much power, is there a way to see how much power my pc actually consumes? and after that i will disable the vid card and do the test again and see the difference
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> trijntje_: tried disabling dma with the boot option:   nodma
[17:07] <kapz> thanks ActionParsnip , will give it a go
[17:07] <jamiejackson> ActionParsnip: is this an sort of clue as to my black ttys? as long as i load a tty before x starts (say, at the login screen), i get proper ttys after x starts, too. if i don't, then i get black ones. this is a workaround, but only if i remember to do it before each x session.
[17:07] <trijntje_> ActionParsnip: ill try that and report back
[17:07] <compdoc> BobMarley, dont know how to disable - someone may know. Or ask in #linux
[17:07] <bnjmn> i'm on 12.04 using gnome classic, when i move a window and the mouse goes to the top of the screen, this will maximize the window. how do i turn this off?
[17:07] <Antonis> Folks I have another problem.. I have a JVC mini-vhs videocamera that I connect to my computer with composite (rca) cables through a video grabber usb tool from plexgear. I am seeing the device (I think) with lsusb and dmesg but I am not able to play the stream with vlc or mplayer or any other application.. I tried with windows from a friends computer and everything is working there but I want to use it with my computer running ubuntu 12.04. Any ide
[17:07] <Antonis> as or if someone has some time to help me?
[17:08] <ThePendulum> Greetings
[17:08] <ThePendulum> I am running Ubuntu 12.04, and sometimes, I have to click the shut-down button twice before it actually shuts down immediatly. The first time, it shuts down the program that has focus, but it doesn't shut down unless I wait a few minutes.
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> Antonis: I'd try searching for the 8 character hex ID for the device
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> ThePendulum: if you run:  sudo shutdown -h now     does it die?
[17:09] <ThePendulum> ActionParsnip: Well, I'd have to try that
[17:10] <Antonis> ActionParsnip, how do I get those? dmesg gives me [ 8503.099129] usb 1-2: new high-speed USB device number 9 using ehci_hcd and lsusb gives me Bus 001 Device 009: ID 6000:0001 Beholder International Ltd. Do you mean the 6000:0001 ?
[17:10] <usr13> trijntje: What is your wifi device?
[17:10] <ThePendulum> It probably will act like the second time I click the button and shut down, allow me a few minutes to prepare for shutdown
[17:10] <Thibbers> Hi
[17:10] <Thibbers> i know its not the purpose of this channel
[17:11] <Thibbers> but just to see if anyone can answer me
[17:12] <beefman> anyone have trouble with keystrokes being missed in 12.04 if the repeat delay is too high?
[17:13] <CrazyGir> how does one confirm the version of an installed pkg with aptitude?
[17:13] <beefman> i either get tons of missed strokes if i turn on keyboard repeat and set the delay high, or occasional extra chars if i set the delay low.  if i turn it off, i can't repeat, eg, backspace
[17:13] <beefman> this problem showed up with either 12.04 or the pvs one, don't recall exactly when
[17:13] <beefman> but it's very frustrating
[17:13] <usr13> CrazyGir: apt-cache polich package-name
[17:14] <CrazyGir> hah
[17:14] <CrazyGir> thanks :)\
[17:14] <usr13> NP
[17:14] <usr13> CrazyGir: Correction:  apt-cache policy package-name
[17:15] <jenia_> hello. i want to use egrep like this:
[17:15] <jenia_> egrep -R TODO static/*.js
[17:16] <jenia_> but it doesnt work. i think its because for the recursive option, i cannot specify the *.js part
[17:16] <jenia_> i can only give it a folder
[17:16] <klk> hello peeps.. i need help  installing windows 7 in virtual box ose manager
[17:16] <jenia_> can anyone tell me how to achieve looking recursive under some folder AND in filer the end in .js
[17:16] <jenia_> files*
[17:16] <trijntje> usr13, wlan0, its a broadcom card
[17:17] <ThePendulum> ActionParsnip: Yep, it dies immediatly
[17:18] <xauth> jenia_: find static -name '*.js' | xargs egrep TODO
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> ThePendulum: cool, you have a workaround for now ;)
[17:19] <jenia_> ahhh okay okay. thanks
[17:19] <trijntje> ActionParsnip, booting with nodma gives the same error message: "this device does not support DMA, switching to PIO". Is there a way to verify that setting 'nodma' during boot actually changed something?
[17:19] <ThePendulum> ActionParsnip: Well, clicking twice still is less work than opening the cli :P
[17:19] <ThePendulum> But thanks for the suggestion
[17:19] <xauth> jenia_: Actually if you're looking for TODO, fgrep would be fastest
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> ThePendulum: your call, least you know it can be donw
[17:20] <Antonis> ActionParsnip, I am back did you maybe answer my question?
[17:20] <jenia_> ahh okay thanks
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> xauth: jenia_: sudo updatedb; locate *.js | xargs egrep TODO
[17:21] <xauth> ActionParsnip: Then you'd have to wait for updatedb to finish, *and* make do with all .js files everywhere on the system...
[17:22] <ThePendulum> Another thing
[17:22] <ThePendulum> Every now and then, Ubuntu starts with the displays completely deconfigured
[17:22]  * Shojo kisses ThePendulum
[17:22] <ThePendulum> :)
[17:22] <xauth> ActionParsnip: Oh, and you're using superuser rights where not strictly necessary...
[17:22] <Shojo> cool nick
[17:23] <ThePendulum> Hehe, thanks
[17:25] <BobMarley>  which are the differences betwen power-up, reset and init
[17:25] <jkbbwr> I need to remote desktop my ubuntu machine from windows and it needs to be fast. Anyone got any suggestions?
[17:25] <ThePendulum> A reset usually is just a combination of shut-down and power-up
[17:26] <ThePendulum> jkbbwr: TeamViewer?
[17:26] <jkbbwr> ThePendulum: Local network?
[17:26] <ThePendulum> Install it on client, install it on host, and you're set
[17:26] <ThePendulum> There is TV IP for local networks
[17:26] <jkbbwr> ThePendulum: I kinda wnana avoid corperation shit
[17:26] <ThePendulum> What do you mean?
[17:27] <jkbbwr> I wanna use my ubuntu machine from my windows one over a local area network without a big clunky software thats gonna tunnel me over the internet anyway
[17:27] <ThePendulum> TeamViewer IP...
[17:27] <jkbbwr> Goes over the web
[17:27] <MCl0vin> can someone help me please. i seems everytime i try to work on my laptop i spend hrs fixing it just to do 3 or 10 min work.http://pastebin.com/xPCKnqG9
[17:27] <ThePendulum> Not as far as I know
[17:27] <MCl0vin> i also get alot of crash reports
[17:27] <jkbbwr> ThePendulum: did last time I watched?
[17:27] <ThePendulum> It works via VPN
[17:27] <ThePendulum> That's TeamViewer, not Teamviewer IP
[17:28] <trijntje> Hi all, I keep losing/regaining wireless on my laptop. When I lose it, it gives the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1062853/
[17:29] <jkbbwr> ThePendulum: explain?
[17:30] <ThePendulum> You can set-up TeamViewer so it works using a VPN connection rather than the internet
[17:30] <jkbbwr> ThePendulum: sweet
[17:30] <jkbbwr> thanks

[17:33] <sh1v> hi there, i've been trying to install adobe flash plugin but it seems to be stuck on "Applying changes" forever... can anyone pls help me with this? obviously, i'm a complete rookie at ubuntu and linux in general..
[17:33] <TheLordOfTime> sh1v:  that's one where it takes a long time to update and install
[17:34] <pim_> ActionParsnip I used xgamma -gama f.f for setting the gamma
[17:34] <pim_> xgamma -gamma f.f that is
[17:34] <sh1v> "long" as in how long?
[17:34] <TheLordOfTime> sh1v:  varies, depending on system specs
[17:34] <TheLordOfTime> and how fast your internet connectivity is
[17:35] <sh1v> it has been considerable time.. more than an hour but the progress bar hasnt moved a pixel
[17:35] <sh1v> it isnt particularly fast.. 200 kbps
[17:36] <klk> hello
[17:36] <klk> can any1 help  me setting up win7 on virtual box ?????
[17:37] <sh1v> so should i wait longer or is there some soln?
[17:37] <TheLordOfTime> klk:  its pretty straightforward, are you having problems or something?
[17:37] <OerHeks> klk you better ask in ##windows
[17:38] <TheLordOfTime> sh1v:  that's actually pretty slow.  you can try hitting the "Cancel" button, and then try to continue to update again, but...
[17:38] <trijntje> cosmic, can you be more specific, what does not work?
[17:38] <klk> TheLordOfTime,  i figured it  out i thin k  i forgrt to set  the optic drive
[17:38] <sh1v> TheLordOfTime: There is no cancel button!
[17:38] <TheLordOfTime> sh1v:  which "progress bar" are you referring to?
[17:39] <cosmic> I cant get into grub at startup
[17:39] <TheLordOfTime> sh1v:  and how are you installing it (Terminal, GUI such as Synaptic or Update manager, etc.)
[17:39] <sh1v> software center
[17:39] <trijntje> cosmic, you mean you do not see grub at all during startup?
[17:39] <sh1v> it's stuck on "applying changes"
[17:40] <cosmic> well, i see grubs boot menu and I can edit a file with 'e' option
[17:40] <trijntje> sh1v, do you have any other program, such as synaptic or update manager running? Software center will wait for those to close
[17:40] <cosmic> but then it doesn't boot at all
[17:40] <cosmic> and needs a reset
[17:40] <cosmic> and then back to gui
[17:40] <trijntje> cosmic, which line did you edit?
[17:41] <sh1v> none that i know of.. how do i check?
[17:41] <signpost> holy shit.  how long has auto-apt existed
[17:41] <trijntje> sh1v, any program that works with packages that is
[17:41] <IdleOne> !language | signpost
[17:41] <mdh> part #ubuntu
[17:41] <mdh> oops
[17:41] <signpost> my apologies.  it's an incredible tool
[17:42] <trijntje> sh1v, you can simply see their windows if they are running
[17:42] <cosmic> the line starting 'linux'
[17:42] <sh1v> nope, no such window open
[17:42] <cosmic> i've had a go at editing grub directly instead now
[17:43] <trijntje> cosmic, you mean the file /etc/default/grub ?
[17:44] <sh1v> although in the History it says tht flash plugin is installed
[17:45] <cosmic> /boot/grub/grub.cfg i think
[17:45] <Ufo13> hi guys, I just updated ubuntu to version 12 and grub stopped working, I can't even boot windows any longer, I get a series of error: no such partition
[17:45] <cosmic> actually my command line was - sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[17:46] <trijntje> cosmic, that is the correct file. Don't forget to run 'sudo update-grub' when you are done
[17:46] <sh1v> is there not something similar to task manager in ubuntu?
[17:46] <cosmic> oh, that was the name of the thing I was trying to find!
[17:47] <Ufo13> I tried googling for solutions, but most of them involve booting from the live cd but the boot fails leaving meon some weird initramfs shell where I can't do anything
[17:47] <cosmic> ok, on errors...here goes
[17:47] <Shojo> sh1v: system monitor
[17:47] <cosmic> thanks for your help trijnte

[17:51] <Xelx> product: G92 [GeForce 9800 GT]
[17:51] <Xelx> vendor: nVidia Corporation
[17:51] <stimoceiver> Xelx: so no matter what, with 4GB of physical memory, however much memory your video card has will eat up that much of the 4GB addressing space.
[17:52] <KEViNSKY> Hi, I recently installed Ubuntu on my Dell XPS 15. Everything works fine, except for my HDMI port. Am I missing a driver or something?
[17:52] <stimoceiver> Xelx: same with windows too.
[17:52] <Xelx> my videocard doesn't seems like eating any ram
[17:52] <Avdut> Xelex :  it does eat !
[17:52] <stimoceiver> Xelx: what I'm saying is, if your video card has 512MB, then 512MB will be missing from your 4GB
[17:52] <i7c> Ufo13: why no live cd?
[17:52] <OerHeks> Xelx, onboard video will take that mem whatever you do.
[17:52] <Xelx> it's not onboard
[17:53] <stimoceiver> OerHeks: its the same for any OS with a 32 bit addressing space on intel architecture
[17:53] <stimoceiver> its not an issue of the memory being actually used. its an issue of the video memory using the same addressing space.
[17:53] <Xelx> if my videocard has 512MB onboard, than nothing will be missing from my 4GB, but thanks for suggesting
[17:53] <i7c> Ufo13: if you can't even boot from a live cd anymore it'll be hard to find a solution here
[17:54] <stimoceiver> Xelx: no, really, that is the issue, a 32 BIT os has literally 32 bit worth of memory addresses to allocate, whether to main ram or video ram, it has nothing to do with whether it is a shared memory of an onboard video, or an actual video card
[17:54] <Ufo13> (initramfs) Unable to find a medium containing a live file system
[17:54] <stimoceiver> Xelx: it is the same for windows.
[17:54] <Ufo13> have you got any idea what this error could be?
[17:54] <stimoceiver> xelx: as far as the computer is concerned, there is only "one" list of memory addresses. there is not a separate list for the video card's memory.
[17:55] <i7c> Ufo13: sounds like your live cd doesnt work properly? is it an usb stick or a cd?
[17:55] <Xelx> stimoceiver: oh, I see what you mean
[17:55] <stimoceiver> xelx: solution is switch to a 64 bit os if your processor supports it.
[17:55] <Ufo13> it's a CD
[17:55] <Ufo13> I burned it on a dvd actually
[17:55] <ugur> Ufo13: try burn disk again at slower speed
[17:55] <Xelx> stimoceiver: but doesn't videocard processor should handle videocard ram?
[17:55] <Ufo13> it's ok to burn on a DVD right?
[17:56] <trism> stimoceiver: bug 864609 has a workaround in comment #3
[17:56] <ugur> Ufo13: also check image integrity
[17:56] <stimoceiver> Xelx: I always thought it SHOULD work that way, but actually the cpu needs to read and write the same memory... AFAIK... I could be wrong but this is the explanation I've alwys heard
[17:56] <Ufo13> what is this check image integrity? :P
[17:56] <stimoceiver> trism: THANK YOU!
[17:56] <kelvinella> hi, does anyone know how to install stream torrent in ubuntu?
[17:56] <i7c> Ufo13: check the md5 hash sum of the iso file after downloading
[17:56] <usr13> !md5 | Ufo13
[17:57] <Ufo13> some crc check?
[17:57] <gry> kelvinella: stream torrent server or client?
[17:57] <Ufo13> ah ok
[17:57] <esdf> anyone got steam mania to work in linux?
[17:57] <kelvinella> gry client
[17:57] <ugur> Ufo13: you got answer i think : )
[17:57] <Xelx> I've tried to install linux-generic-pae but doesn't seem working for me
[17:57] <esdf> shootmania**
[17:57] <Xelx> stimoceiver: I've tried to install linux-generic-pae but doesn't seem working for me
[17:57] <gry> !torrent | kelvinella, maybe this lists some clients to try
[17:57] <stimoceiver> trism: silly me I didn't read down far enough
[17:57] <kelvinella> gry, not torrent
[17:57] <gry> err?
[17:57] <Ufo13> ugur:  thanks I will check
[17:58] <kelvinella> gry, its stream torrent not bit torrent
[17:58] <stimoceiver> Xelx: I'm not sure that the PAE kernel will help, but if your processor supports it, 64 bit OS should fix that
[17:58] <gry> stream torrent = not torrent? :-)
[17:58] <gry> ah
[17:58] <kelvinella> gry, watch sports online like sopcast
[17:58] <stimoceiver> Xelx: I do not think it is possible to just install a 64 bit kernel to an existing 32 bit OS. my guess is probably not.
[17:58] <ugur> Ufo13: you're welcome
[17:58] <Xelx> stimoceiver: well, I'm not sure but by making research it doesn't seem like support 64bit
[17:58] <kelvinella> gry, the game starts in like an hr
[17:58] <stimoceiver> Xelx: which CPU/motherboard?
[17:59] <Xelx> product: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz
[17:59] <Xelx> capabilities: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe constant_tsc pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr
[17:59] <usr13> Xelx: You've got 32bit OS installed now?
[17:59] <stimoceiver> Xelx: hmmm. I'm not skilled at using proc to answer that question. Maybe someone else can answer?
[18:00] <Alexi> thats a 32bit chip
[18:00] <ugur> I have a problem about Pidgin. Cant send it to try. Pidgin closes directly. Can this be a problem related Unity ?
[18:00] <Xelx> stimoceiver: correct, 32bit
[18:00] <usr13> Xelx: Stick with it.
[18:00] <Xelx> stimoceiver: thanks for your time
[18:00] <maxmc> Hi! I use the latest ubuntu 12.04 and installed "soundconverter" to convert .m4b files to mp3. I successfully installed the mp3 codec, but soundconverter prompts me to install a mpeg-4-aac decoder, which fails with the following output:  http://pastebin.com/GRrTKvRT can anyone help?
[18:01] <kelvinella> gry, i guess i will try windows in virtualbox
[18:02] <Ufo13> ok, md5 is d791352694374f1c478779f7f4447a3f, so it looks legit
[18:02] <maxmc> according to google it should work smoothly, but unfortunately it doesn't and i'm too much of a linux noob to decipher the output and execute the neccessary commands to resolve the issue :)
[18:02] <linuxn00bie> hey guys, I am trying to add my ubuntu desktop to the current AD environment, I have set a static IP, set in the dns address, downloaded centrify and installed it, but when I run: adjoin -w DOMAIN --user myusername, I get join to domain 'DOMAIN', zone 'Auto Zone' failed, cannot find an active directory domain named 'DOMAIN' in DNS or 'etc/centrifydc/centrify.conf'
[18:02] <Ufo13> I will try re-burning, so you confirm I can burn this iso on a DVD right?
[18:02] <R3dneckSec> Hey guys. I am having problems configuring a wireless connection. Can someone help me?
[18:02] <R3dneckSec> I got it to work at home, but when I try any other network it doesn't connect. Says bad password even though i know it's right
[18:03] <linuxn00bie> I am omitting the names of the domain, but I followed the guide and it doesnt have u change anything in the .conf file
[18:03] <i7c> R3dneckSec: is the other network public? like university or work wifis?
[18:03] <gry> http://p2ptube.sourceforge.net/#btcat http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=40329&sid=da94141211d53d88e290e3d3a204b246 kelvinella
[18:03] <R3dneckSec> i7c: No.
[18:04] <gry> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289090&page=2 kelvinella
[18:04] <Alexi> maxmc: do 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade', then try 'sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra'
[18:04] <i7c> R3dneckSec: well if it works at home it might be the other network's fault. maybe DHCP missing or the router does not allow new devices
[18:04] <maxmc> @Alexi: thanks!
[18:05] <R3dneckSec> I am using a 10.04 build. WPA/WPA2 in all locations I've tried.
[18:05] <i7c> R3dneckSec: the second reason i mentioned is more likely.
[18:05] <Alexi> maxmc: I hope it works. It may not. fingers crossed./
[18:05] <linuxn00bie> i can ping the computer, and resolve a hostname, but I need to give it a FQDN
[18:05] <R3dneckSec> ic7: I'm the network engineer for the "other" network :D
[18:05] <i7c> R3dneckSec: oh. mhm damn :D
[18:05] <compdoc> hostname
[18:05] <Ufo13> sorry
[18:06] <Ufo13> client crashed :(
[18:06] <Ufo13> so, again, can i burn the ubuntu iso on a DVD or it must be a CD?
[18:06] <i7c> bad client!
[18:06] <Danhipe> you can use dvd
[18:06] <Ufo13> ok thanks
[18:06] <i7c> Ufo13: as somebody mentioned, try low burn speed
[18:06] <ugur> Ufo13: burn at slow speed
[18:06] <maxmc> @Alexi: no, dosn't work. update & upgrade run ok, but "install libavcodec-extra" produces "Unable to locate package"
[18:07] <i7c> maxmc: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libavcodec-extra&searchon=names&suite=precise&section=all
[18:07] <i7c> maxmc: -53 missing?
[18:07] <Ufo13> I will try
[18:08] <Ufo13> the slowest setting thanks
[18:08] <R3dneckSec> i7c: I had to add some stuff in a conf file for wpa_supplicant for my home wifi, and I tried to do the same thing here, but it just won't connect.
[18:08] <linuxn00bie> It's definatly looking like a lot harder project than before, just to add the computer to active directory,  unless I am doing something wrong. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 oneiric, and lucid for the projects
[18:08] <maxmc> ah i just saw it through the  terminal's autocompletion
[18:08] <R3dneckSec> Using wicd in gui also. Networks show up but always returns "bad password"
[18:08] <kelvinella> gry, thanks but the link i have is st:// ... not torrent file as the p2ptube software needs
[18:08] <linuxn00bie> any one else ever add ubuntu to a windows server 2003/2008 based AD?
[18:08] <Alexi> maxmc: ok, try "sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53'
[18:08] <kelvinella> gry, i am trying the streamtorrent in windows now
[18:09] <i7c> R3dneckSec: mhm i don't know sorry. you could try with networkmanager
[18:09] <Vinster69> Does anyone know how I can prevent Pidgin crashing when I ask it to produce a room list please?
[18:10] <BluesKaj> R3dneckSec, which wifi chip ?
[18:10] <maxmc> @Alexi, @i7c:  "sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53" worked, but soundconverter still prompts me for the missing decoder, and doesn't find it if I proceed...
[18:10] <BluesKaj> Vinster69, edit your list to a title you might want rather than all
[18:11] <ugur> R3dneckSec: is that network 802.1x
[18:11] <ugur> ?
[18:12] <BluesKaj> maxmc, libavcodec isn't for audio it'sw a video lib app
[18:12] <linuxn00bie> so here's what i did for anyone that might be listening:
[18:12] <linuxn00bie> opened terminal  ran  sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ oneiric partner"
[18:13] <linuxn00bie> sudo apt-get update  sudo apt-get install centrifydc sudo adjoin -w OURDOMAIN --user myusername
[18:13] <ugur> if so, wpa_supplicant drivers cant work with some network card eg. intel 1030-n try networkmanager
[18:13] <linuxn00bie> fails
[18:13] <BluesKaj> maxmc, soundconverter is strictly an audio converter
[18:13] <linuxn00bie> fails on joining the domain
[18:13] <R3dneckSec> BluesKaj: Broadcom
[18:13] <maxmc> BluesKaj: i think so, yes
[18:13] <R3dneckSec> ugur: 802.11 b/g/n
[18:14] <Alexi> maxmc: Perhaps search for a package called with "aac, decoder" or similar, and apt-get install it.
[18:14] <BluesKaj> R3dneckSec, most BCM modules usually work out of the box
[18:14] <linuxn00bie> version ubuntu 11.10 oneiric, set via static ip address, and dns server. I have tried rebooting but it still fails.
[18:14] <tMH> back to termcap topic
[18:14] <tMH> used to try apt-get install termcap-compat
[18:14] <tMH> got Couldn't find package termcap-compat as answer
[18:14] <tMH> what to do?:/
[18:14] <maxmc> Alexi: ok, I will try
[18:15] <BluesKaj> R3dneckSec,work with network manager
[18:16] <R3dneckSec> Blueskaj: More reliable than wicd? I don't care which I use. Wicd came with the distro
[18:17] <BluesKaj> R3dneckSec, with ubuntu ?
[18:17] <trijntje> Hi all, I keep losing/regaining wireless on my laptop. When I lose it, it gives the following error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1062853/
[18:18] <BluesKaj> network manager is the default in ubuntu , R3dneckSec , wicd is optional in the repos
[18:19] <R3dneckSec> To get my home network to work, the distro's site had me manually add in some things to wpa_supplicant.conf. I did that for this network and it still won't connect. Do you think that is needed?
