[09:10] <ActionParsnip> amos: I recommend you enable the partner repo and install the adobe-flashplugin package. If you are using Chrome (not Chromium) you don't even need any of the adobe flash plugins installed
[09:10] <mnice> Phule: well, listen - you reported issues with your webserver, it implies, that you set up your webserver somehow .. if you say that you can't find httpd.conf it indicates, that you should start with your webserver documentation first

[09:17] <mnice> it's easy
[09:17] <fidel_> just crying for help is usualy a bad idea ;)
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> thelanmath: no need, just add the absolute path to the script, no need to change dir for a single script
[09:18] <mnice> you should use update-rc.d script before that
[09:18] <thelanmath> please guide me the detail, mnice
[09:18] <mnice> Phule: from the random output you provided i have to encourage you to hire real sysadmin to do your work or for consulting ..
[09:19] <thelanmath> i dont know about link it to desired runlevel

[09:32] <ActionParsnip> mnice: this scipt will need root access, there are outputs to files outside of $HOME
[09:32] <mnice> Phule: then please go consulting the docs of your webserver to find out, where the settings are
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> thelanmath: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[09:33] <mnice> ActionParsnip: it was just an quick'n'dirty example of adding service
[09:33] <mnice> he will use some script shipped with JBoss

[09:41] <thelanmath> mnice
[09:41] <mnice> Phule: i want to see your apache configuration .. preferably the section VirtualHosts, if you have no vhosts, then just "Listen" parameter .. if you do not know where they are, go and consult docs
[09:41] <PiNinja> somsip: Alright, thanks.
[09:41] <Phule> mnice: you asked to show you section with either virtual hosts or root in "httpd.conf" and this file is empty.

[09:49] <ActionParsnip> iSeeDeadPixels: I suggest you check bug reports though
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> rubensayshi: you may be able to use a chroot and fix things
[09:50] <thelanmath> it seems very difficult when start up shell cript when start up
[09:50] <rubensayshi> ActionParsnip, I dont think I understand what you mean
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> rubensayshi: you can chroot from the liveCD to the installed OS. The commands you run will execute on the installed OS and can help you fix things
[09:51] <rubensayshi> ok
[09:51] <rubensayshi> thanks
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> rubensayshi: omgubuntu has a nice guide called: sticking it to grub
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> rubensayshi: once you get chrooted, you can attempt to install pacjkages

[09:53] <hib> There isn’t a software package called “jamestown” in your current software sources.
[09:53] <paulus68> is there a way to adapt the repositories so that I can use a proxy server for authentication?
[09:53] <iSeeDeadPixels> ty ActionParsnip
[09:53] <timfrost> paulus68: what are you actually wanting to do?
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> hib: have you tried installing using apt-get
[09:54] <hib> whats that?
[09:54] <hib> im just folowing the hib instructions
[09:54] <ActionParsnip> hib: its a terminal based way of installing packages
[09:55] <akis> actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1270820/ any idea?
[09:55] <hib> how do i do that?
[09:55] <paulus68> timfrost: well I am behind a proxy and I want to do sudo apt-get update/upgrade but it won't pass my proxy
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> akis: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> akis: its a single line, so it ok here
[09:57] <paulus68> in previous versions of ubuntu you could add the proxy in synaptic hower in 12.04 this is not possible anymore
[09:57] <akis> actionparsnip: precise
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> akis: seems you need to use ndiswrapper with neti2220.inf and 12220ntx.sys files from the windows driver. Source: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/ipn2220
[09:58] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: you can set the proxy for apt-get in /etc/apt/apt.conf
[09:58] <hib> what do i have to do in terminal?? the code i got im my email dousnt do anything
[09:58] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: doesn't want to work already tried that still requesting proxy authentication
[09:59] <akis> do i have to proceed with the procedure described in that link?
[09:59] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: another strange thing is that i have to other machines on the same router and they don't require proxy authentication only my ubuntu box
[09:59] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf     add: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:pass@proxy_address:port/";

[10:02] <akis> what you mean when you write that i don't really need the link. is there any other way to make the system recognize my wireless card. thenk you for your time in advance!
[10:02] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: thx how do you get to synaptic in 12.04
[10:03] <vivid> paulus68, sudo apt-get install synaptic
[10:05] <samuel> hello all, is anyone he knowledgable with gconf editor?
[10:05] <samuel> *here
[10:05] <rubensayshi> ActionParsnip, I chrooted into my harddrive from the install disk
[10:05] <rubensayshi> should I manually copy over files from the install disk or smt?
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> rubensayshi: try:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install ubuntu-desktop
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: could run:  gksudo synaptic
[10:09] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: vivid thanks
[10:10] <samuel> does anyone know where gconf editor stores the wireless connections that it shows when you run it as administrator?
[10:11] <dr_willis> just a guess but /root/.gconf* of sim
[10:12] <dr_willis> or .config
[10:14] <samuel> dr_willis, that sounds very promising i will give it a try
[10:14] <crazydip> is there a number of ppa's per user limit on launchpad?
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> samuel: look in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
[10:14] <cheonix> hi
[10:14] <ActionParsnip> crazydip: I'd ask in #launchpad
[10:14] <thelanmath> can't help myseft stop thinking
[10:15] <crazydip> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[10:15] <livingdaylight> greetings comrades
[10:15] <samuel> ActionParsnip, i believe i have already looked there,but i will look again, thanks for the suggestion
[10:15] <livingdaylight> my FF got updated and now flash is broken. when go to youtube, etc, reads "missing plugins"
[10:15] <cheonix> hi
[10:15] <thelanmath> startup shell script depend on the structure of scripts?
[10:16] <apg> guys, I see in my unity ubuntu systray, kde-accessible appears and can not be hidden. It always reappears not so long after I click on it and clik "quit." I have check the dconf-editor, whitelist, but I cannot find it. It seems to me that it appeared for the first time when I ran orca. From kde-desktop I was able to hid it. Any suggestion?
[10:16] <crazydip> ActionParsnip: you're a beast man! #2 on launchpad's top karma in ubuntu catagory, #1 in answers! you're killing it man! keep up the awesome work!
[10:16] <devjustforfun_> hi people
[10:16] <devjustforfun_> i cant connect to ftp
[10:16] <cheonix> hi apg
[10:17] <devjustforfun_> 227 Entering Passive Mode (193,107,238,149,220,123). ftp: connect: Connection timed out
[10:17] <devjustforfun_> who may help me
[10:17] <ActionParsnip> crazydip: I try :), Trying to catch Martin now
[10:18] <brontosaurusrex> devjustforfun_, what client? try filezilla
[10:18] <Ahmet> hi
[10:18] <cheonix> hi guy
[10:18] <ActionParsnip> devjustforfun_: can you ping the server?
[10:18] <cheonix> hi Ahmet
[10:18] <cheonix> yes
[10:18] <samuel> ActionParsnip, the issue is that when i delete connections from the network manager applet
[10:18] <samuel> they reappear
[10:18] <samuel> if i run gnconf editor as non super user i can see the one connection i want
[10:18] <samuel> but not the other two i want to get rid of
[10:18] <devjustforfun_> brontosaurusrex i tried filezila but had some errors
[10:18] <Ahmet> what's up
[10:19] <samuel> but if i run it as sudo, it displays the 2 i want to get rid of, and not the one i want to keep!
[10:19] <dr_willis> samuel:  its possible you have config files in your users home owned by root. you may want to look there
[10:19] <devjustforfun_> Response:	227 Entering Passive Mode (193,107,238,149,185,51). Command:	MLSD Error:	Connection timed out Error:	Failed to retrieve directory listing

[10:20] <mobhero> hi, how to enable mod_rewrite in httpd server
[10:20] <dlinares> Hi guys. Anybody available to give me some advice related to a kernel bisect ? Thanks in advance.
[10:20] <samuel> dr_willis, that is another great suggestion, i'm just looking to gather info before i "have at it" again, the problem started after an update i believe
[10:20] <rigo> hi
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> devjustforfun_: do you have multiple accounts to log on to the same server with?
[10:21] <samuel> dr_willis would anything bad come of recursively changing the ownership of files in the home folder?
[10:21] <rigo> is there a webui for proftpd what doesnt needs mysql & php?
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> devjustforfun_: can you connect to the FTP service from the local system?
[10:22] <devjustforfun_> yes i think
[10:22] <devjustforfun_> anybody who on windows might have connect
[10:23] <anups_> hii..
[10:23] <anups_> can anyone hlp me out with issue I am facing ??
[10:23] <devjustforfun_> or maybe something wrong with firewall or something else
[10:24] <devjustforfun_> on my ip adress
[10:24] <dr_willis> samuel:  common problem is one or more getting owned by root from  missuse of sudo.
[10:25] <livingdaylight> my FF got updated and now flash is broken. when go to youtube, etc, reads "missing plugins"
[10:25] <crazydip> chromium source is 430mb - what a monster!
[10:25] <devjustforfun_> ActionParsnip any suggestions
[10:26] <suzuka> hi
[10:26] <rigo> bad question. sorry. i would like to download with the help of a webui. so is there an ftp client with web interface what doesnt needs mysql and php?
[10:26] <rigo> so a ftp client daemon
[10:26] <crazydip> !question | anups_
[10:26] <suzuka> guys how i can add user to group?
[10:26] <Josh> there is patience?
[10:26] <Josh> !patience
[10:27] <blackshirt> suzuka, adduser user group
[10:28] <samuel> dr_willis - well thank you for the suggestions, i personally have to used sudo on that particular system other than to perform updates, but who knows, i appreciate the input fingers crossed that at least one of these suggestions fixes it!
[10:28] <devjustforfun_> suzuka usermod --append group
[10:28] <anups_> hi ubottu I have an issue while starting KVM in Ubuntu -getting error Could not initialize SDL(No available video device) - exiting
[10:28] <devjustforfun_> suzuka usermod --append -G group
[10:28] <dlinares> Hi guys. Anybody available to give me some advice related to a kernel bisection? Thanks in advance.
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> suzuka:  sudo usermod -a -G group user
[10:29] <devjustforfun_> yes ActionParsnip you are right
[10:30] <geirha> or sudo adduser user group
[10:30] <geirha> oops, blackshirt already covered that
[10:31] <devjustforfun_> ActionParsnip may i ask you in private about ftp
[10:31] <rp2> ftp: don't.
[10:32] <crazydip> blackshirt: that will add "group" to user but remove every other group that the user is in!
[10:32] <dr_willis> ftp - just say no. ;)
[10:32] <paulens12> hello xD
[10:33] <rp2> crazydip: look up -a
[10:33] <crazydip> rp2: exactly, it's usermod -a -G group not usermod -G group
[10:34] <anups_> ubottu: have any idea abt issue  ??
[10:34] <anups_> :)
[10:34] <devjustforfun_> usermod -G group this is replate existing groups of the user
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> devjustforfun_: make sure you can connect from the local host to the local service using the same account
[10:35] <crazydip> devjustforfun_: you are correct sir!
[10:35] <rp2> oh, sorry
[10:35] <devjustforfun_> ActionParsnip what do you mean about local
[10:36] <devjustforfun_> i have a remote ftp service
[10:36] <devjustforfun_> and i'm connecting from my local machine to remote ftp service
[10:37] <devjustforfun_> what's mean connect from local host to local service
[10:37] <devjustforfun_> i'm not a owner of ftp and i havent ssh
[10:37] <ActionParsnip> devjustforfun_: ssh to the server and ftp to localhost
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> devjustforfun_: you need to be sure the FTP can be connected to ok
[10:39] <devjustforfun_> another people connecting to that ftp use same login and pass just fine
[10:39] <fagin> hi
[10:39] <WACOMalt> Hi there, Im wondering if anyone knows of a screen recorder that works with cinnamon UI?
[10:40] <Josh> I use cinnamon
[10:40] <rp2> devjustforfun_: so you mean you *use* a remote ftp service
[10:40] <Josh> But i don't know :P
[10:40] <devjustforfun_> yes
[10:40] <devjustforfun_> rp2 yes
[10:40] <devjustforfun_> and i haven't access to that service as root by ssh
[10:40] <dr_willis> i would think most of the recorder tools would work with any of the desktops
[10:40] <rp2> which ftp client are you using?
[10:40] <rp2> try the ftp command
[10:41] <WACOMalt> Josh, fair enough. I know Kazam has big issues in Gnome3 and cinnamon.
[10:41] <devjustforfun_> i tried but nothing happened rp2
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: the DE isirrelevant, just use any
[10:41] <devjustforfun_> 227 Entering Passive Mode (193,107,238,149,220,123). ftp: connect: Connection timed out
[10:41] <rp2> what do you mean by that?
[10:41] <rp2> ah
[10:41] <Josh> WACOMalt, But cinnamon is FTW
[10:41] <devjustforfun_> that error was ocures
[10:41] <WACOMalt> Its supposed to be built in to cinnamon and Gnome3, as a feature. but the keyboard shortcut doesnt work for me. Josh can you try ctl alt shift R
[10:41] <rp2> ok
[10:42] <rp2> maybe they don't support passive more?
[10:42] <rp2> mode i mean
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: tried kazam?
[10:42] <rp2> can you get through to the FTP port at all?
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> Josh: its also unsupported here :)
[10:42] <WACOMalt> ActionParsnip, I mentioned that
[10:42] <WACOMalt> and yes, it has big issues.
[10:42] <devjustforfun_> another people connect to it in passive mode and for them is work fine
[10:42] <rp2> whgat happens on 'telnet <ftphost> 21' ?
[10:42] <Josh> ActionParsnip, It dosn't needs support :D
[10:42] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: or recordmydesktop
[10:42] <Josh> I'd rather say that
[10:42] <Josh> :D
[10:43] <Josh> cinnamon on ubuntu 12.04 > cinnamon on mint
[10:43] <WACOMalt> ActionParsnip, I havent personally tried that, but posts seem to indicate it has the same problems. Apparantly gnome3 screen recorder, built into gnome3 and cinnamon should work
[10:43] <Josh> My experiance.
[10:43] <WACOMalt> but its not in my gnome3 or cinnamon :/
[10:44] <devjustforfun_> rp2 server is avaliable
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: there is also istanbul and xvidcap
[10:44] <devjustforfun_> and  authentication  work just fine
[10:45] <devjustforfun_> rp2
[10:45] <WACOMalt> ActionParsnip, do you know if Kazaam has a chatroom? Id love to talk to their devs about it
[10:45] <bazhang> !alis | WACOMalt have a search
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: #kazam  maybe
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=kazam+irc  yes
[10:46] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: If the *server* is sending "227 Entering Passive Mode" then you need to configure the FTP *client* to use PASV mode, else it will ignore that message
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: see how I searched, and found the result needed...?
[10:46] <WACOMalt> I did :)
[10:46] <devjustforfun_> i use PASV mode
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: so why ask?
[10:46]  * WACOMalt learns from ActionParsnip's example
[10:46] <devjustforfun_> TJ- i use PASV mode
[10:46] <rp2> devjustforfun_: how do you mean 'authentication works just fine'? you can log in, and only switching to passive mode causes the timeout?
[10:47] <devjustforfun_> Command:	PASV Response:	227 Entering Passive Mode (193,107,238,149,185,51). Command:	MLSD Error:	Connection timed out Error:	Failed to retrieve directory listing
[10:47] <rp2> then why switch to passive mode?
[10:47] <anups_> anyone faced with SDL issue
[10:48] <rp2> hmm'
[10:48] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: Are you working through a proxy?
[10:48] <devjustforfun_> yes
[10:48] <devjustforfun_> but
[10:48] <WACOMalt> Also mildly offtopic ActionParsnip but do you find duckduckgo to actually be better than google's results?
[10:48] <TJ-> Is it an anonymous proxy, or does it require authentication too?
[10:48] <rp2> ah so the proxy asks the server to switch to passive mode?
[10:48] <devjustforfun_> sysadmin say ftp not by proxy
[10:48] <rp2> hmmm
[10:48] <TJ-> So, you're *not* using a proxy!
[10:49] <rp2> so what is causing that PASV Response to be sent?
[10:49] <devjustforfun_> but for http i'm using
[10:49] <ardchoille> I'm on 12.04. What I would like to do is use the GTK2 toolkit instead of the GTK3 toolkit so I can use GTK2 themes in WindowMaker. How do I go about this?
[10:50] <rp2> well, the ftp command line client doesn't use a HTTP proxy
[10:50] <crizis> you don't
[10:50] <rp2> which client are you using?
[10:50] <devjustforfun_> filezilla
[10:50] <crizis> ardchoille, install old gtk2 software, that's pretty much. but you can't change toolkit for gtk3 apps
[10:50] <rp2> try the ftp command line client
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> WACOMalt: lots as you can use the bang syntax
[10:50] <devjustforfun_> and i tried just a ftp command
[10:50] <rp2> ok
[10:51] <devjustforfun_> nothing happened
[10:51] <ardchoille> crizis: ok, thank you
[10:51] <rp2> and you still get the switching to PASV mode response?
[10:51] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: I'd be using "tcpdump" to watch the actual packets on the wire for this; that might clue you in on what's missing
[10:51] <rp2> what do you mean by 'nothing happened'? please be specific
[10:52] <crazydip> ardchoille: you can't change the toolkit that a program uses without re-coding the program... it's like, if you're house is made out of wood, you can't just that without rebuilding your house :)
[10:53] <rp2> have you read the FileZilla docs: e.g. http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Network_Configuration#Passive_mode
[10:53] <devjustforfun_>  227 Entering Passive Mode (193,107,238,149,220,123). ftp: connect: Connection timed out # that for ftp command error
[10:53] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: Do a session to the server in the command-line FTP client, and pastebin the session transcript for us
[10:53] <devjustforfun_> ftp -vp <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:53] <ardchoille> crazydip: Got it, thanks
[10:54] <devjustforfun_> TJ- ok
[10:54] <mah454> Hello
[10:54] <rp2> FileZilla does support HTTP proxies, so make sure its proxy- and PASV-related settings are correct
[10:55] <mah454> I have problem with install ubuntu12.04 . receive this message  "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility"
[10:55] <mah454> How can fix it ?
[10:55] <devjustforfun_> http://pastebin.com/xRDez1pr
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> mah454: are you installing to a virtual machine?
[10:55] <devjustforfun_> this is for filezilla
[10:55] <mah454> ActionParsnip: no
[10:55] <ActionParsnip> mah454: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[10:56] <apg> guys, I see in my unity ubuntu systray, kde-accessible appears and can not be hidden. It always reappears not so long after I click on it and clik "quit." I have checked the dconf-editor whitelist, but I can not find it. It appeared for the first time when I ran orca. In kde-desktop, I was able to hide it. Any suggestion?
[10:56] <mah454> ActionParsnip: yes it's true
[10:56] <ActionParsnip> mah454: are you using a CD or a USB stick etc?
[10:56] <mah454> CD/DVD
[10:56] <rp2> devjustforfun_: you confuse us. you are not explicit enough. without knowing what you're doing helping you requires mindreading capabilities. mindreading is not yet an Ubuntu feature
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> mah454: did you burn the CD as slowly as possible?
[10:57] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: "PORT 192,168,12,216,164,225"
[10:58] <samuel> hello i'm back :P
[10:58] <samuel> ActionParsnip /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections is empty
[10:59] <geirha> devjustforfun_: the server is unable to connect to your client's listening socket, therefore it goes into passive mode
[10:59] <samuel> also my /root/.gconf contained only a folder for the first connection that i wished to do away with, removing that did not remove it from the nm-manager applet
[10:59] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: That causes your client to be told (by the server) that it can't do a direct connection, so the client then asks for PASV mode, the server replies (227 Entering Passive Mode ...) ... and the connection times out after "MLSD" - that tells us the client isn't establishing the DATA channel correctly
[11:00] <mah454> ActionParsnip: maybe ! burn have problem !
[11:00] <samuel> if i do a locate on connections it shows me an entry for 1 and 2 in ~/.gconf but not 3 (the one i wish to keep) if i cd to that location it only shows me a folder for 3!
[11:01] <geirha> so the new port the server's listening on is not connectable from the client end either. FTP is such a broken protocol
[11:01] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: I'd use tcpdump for this. You need to know if the client is establishing/trying a connection to the server's DATA port. tcpdump should reveal which end is having the problem. I'd suggest it is the local firewall on your LAN
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> mah454: burn slowly, it helps
[11:02] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: If the LAN's local firewall policy for outgoing connections is restrictive, it *may* block outgoing connections to high-port numbers (> 1023) in order to ensure clients are only connecting to well-known-services
[11:02] <kennett> Is there a driving route planning software that anyone knows about
[11:03] <devjustforfun_> TJ- i will trying
[11:04] <devjustforfun_> TJ- how to use tcpdump
[11:04] <devjustforfun_> This is a command line application
[11:05] <bondj> howdyl. i have a problem which drives me nuts: i run an intel dh67bl motherboard with snd-hda-intel driver pci id: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) . and the sound starts stuttering and i get scratchy noises in all adio applications from time to time. especially when i run quodlibet. when i turn off the sound using applications it reverts to normal sound again. crazy bs
[11:05] <bondj> i tell ya. can anybody help?
[11:06] <bazhang> bondj, open up terminal, type alsamixer, set PCM to 80
[11:07] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: I'm a bit rusty on FTP capture, I'm checking now since you need to follow the PASV port too
[11:08] <bondj> bazhang, why would the volume be related to this? i mean it works ok for some time with volume 100 and then suddenly the sound goes to hell and starts stuttering and all
[11:08] <greenit> hi, is it possible to set the sender and answer-to address with the command "mail" in the console?
[11:08] <bazhang> bondj, the scratchy sound you referred to
[11:08] <rp2> my guess would be that you need to open up your firewall for either active or passive mode
[11:08] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: This *should* do it. "sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -tttttt tcp and host <IP_ADDRESS>"
[11:09] <geirha> devjustforfun_: On a side note, can't you get around it by using a saner, modern protocol (like ssh or samba)? ftp belongs in a museum
[11:10] <devjustforfun_> TJ- thanks i try
[11:10] <bondj> bazhang, let me make it clearer. sound is good, even when i turn it up. but the sound is not just a little scratchy on high volumes etc. it just goes to hell from time to time and not only on high volumes. and sound lags hangs and sounds different and very very broken and F'd up as it could be.
[11:11] <devjustforfun_> geirha not i'm not only ftp
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> bondj: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*    wait 10 seconds then reboot
[11:12] <bondj> ActionParsnip, why should i delete my pulseaudio settings? do you think i misconfigured something? i'd rather find the source of this madness than reverting to defaults
[11:12] <bondj> since i run 5.1 system and headphones with mci
[11:12] <bondj> mic
[11:13] <bondj> i mean i had the problem right after installation anyways
[11:13] <TJ-> bondj: I think what ActionParsnip is getting at is, if you run it with defaults, is the sound breakage still present. If it was there at installation, that rather answers the point :)
[11:14] <rp2> you can always use mv ~/.puslse{,OFF}
[11:14] <TJ-> bondj: In your position I'd be identifying which sound module is in use by the kernel and doing some searches about that to find out if maybe you're encountering a common problem with a known workaround. There's often solutions in the launchpad bug reports, for example
[11:15] <rp2> ahem
[11:15] <rp2> I mean mv ~/.pulse{,.OFF}
[11:15] <bondj> how could i analyze this sound problem of mine? interestingly a friend of mine has the same problem on an intel laptop with the snd-hda-intel driver
[11:15] <bondj> but hes even more of a linux non-guru than me :)
[11:15] <akis> i need some help please. i am trying to install what i am reading here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/ipn2220
[11:16] <bondj> TJ-, i run snd-hda-intel
[11:16] <TJ-> bondj: The key thing here will likely be the sound CODEC in use, which will depend on the sound chipset. There are often-times options you can add to the kernel's sound driver to let it know to use some quirk or other with the particular CODEC/chip combination
[11:16] <akis> sudo modprobe ndiswrapper stops, doesnt give any answer
[11:16] <akis> then i cannot proceed with sudo ndiswrapper -i neti2220.inf
[11:17] <akis> its says culdn't open neti2220.inf at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 219
[11:17] <akis> any help please. its important for me. thanks in advance
[11:18] <tvbuntu> i dont get any sound via my hdmi, why is that?

[11:22] <shivam> i have just installed Ubuntu on my lenovo Z580 and this is the first time i am using a linux so i dont have any idea about the device drivers and how to install them
[11:22] <shivam> please help
[11:22] <samuel> ActionParsnip - you still here?
[11:22] <devjustforfun_> in there not proxy server just connection between me and ftp server
[11:22] <k1l_> c_nick: why sudo?
[11:22] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: That shows the remote server is unable to respond to the outgoing PASV DATA connection. I'd say that is caused by your local LAN firewall.
[11:22] <samuel> shivam, what device drivers do you need?
[11:23] <c_nick> k1l_: I followed a tutorial which suggested to run via a sudouser
[11:23] <shivam> i dont have my wireless drivers and video and audio drivers..
[11:23] <k1l_> c_nick: dont use sudo in front of all commands. if you want to run the script as your user dont use sudo
[11:23] <devjustforfun_> TJ- local LAN firewall may be setup in my local machine
[11:23] <shivam> my wireless card is broadcom 802.11 n
[11:24] <samuel> you shouldnt need audio drives, are you saying that you are getting no picture sound or wireless?
[11:24] <samuel> what version of ubuntu are you using?
[11:24] <samuel> the latest?
[11:24] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: It could be, but more likely on the internet gateway router
[11:24] <bazhang> !broadcom | shivam
[11:24] <devjustforfun_> TJ- what kind of ports i should open for that firewall
[11:24] <shivam> i am not able to connect to internet through wifi
[11:24] <shivam> and neither i am able to play any audio
[11:24] <shivam> my version is 8
[11:25] <samuel> ubuntu 8.04???
[11:25] <bazhang> shivam, what version ?
[11:25] <bazhang> !eolupgrades | shivam
[11:25] <bazhang> shivam, thats end of life
[11:25] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: If the firewall is blocking the ftp outgoing connection, it would most likely be a rule that blocks outgoing connections to high port ranges
[11:26] <bazhang> shivam, see the link above to upgrade
[11:27] <devjustforfun_> TJ- that mean that ftp server try to connect to hight port ranges but firewall for ftp connection block high port ranges
[11:27] <devjustforfun_> TJ- that might be only for my ip address?
[11:29] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: It could be; there's no telling what rules are being enforced without talking to the network adminstrator
[11:29] <Gam3rGirl> lol
[11:30] <TJ-> devjustforfun_: Be clear though, for PASV mode, the server doesn't try to make any connections. PASV means that the server tells the CLIENT which ports to connect to

[11:31] <akis> anyone can help me please? i followed the procedure of this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/ipn2220 but the systme still denies to recognize my wireless card. any idea?
[11:32] <c_nick> k1l_:alright
[11:33] <rp2> devjustforfun_: check the firewall on your own machine first ...
[11:36] <samuel> ok i'm going to try asking again, maybe someone will be able to give me a different suggestion
[11:36] <samuel> i have a problem with network manager not deleting wireless connections from the panel applet
[11:36] <samuel> i have tried in ~/.gconf* there is no entry for the networks i wish to get rid of there
[11:37] <devjustforfun_> rp2 i haven't one
[11:37] <samuel> i have also removed the entries from /root/home/.gconf
[11:37] <samuel> and they still reappear after they have been removed
[11:43] <akis> anyone can help me please? i followed the procedure of this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/ipn2220 but the systme still denies to recognize my wireless card. any idea?
[11:45] <Eagleman> In which package can i find the command ldapsearch
[11:45] <Guest46007> hi someone can help me with a remote desktop??
[11:45] <ripinged> hi all
[11:45] <bazhang> ldap-utils  Eagleman
[11:46] <[1]shivam> i have a 64 bit system so which version i should install 32 bit ubuntu or 64...at website it says 32 recommended
[11:46] <IdleOne> 64bit if you have more than 4GB RAM
[11:46] <ripinged> you can still install a 64bit os if you want
[11:46] <[1]shivam> i have 4 gb ram
[11:46] <IdleOne> so install the 64bit
[11:47] <shivam> will that make difference to availability od drivers and softwares later after installation
[11:47] <k1l_> shivam: if your hardware runs 64bit, why install 32bit?
[11:47] <IdleOne> ripinged: you meant 32bit and yes you can and use the -pae kernel
[11:48] <k1l_> IdleOne: so why recommend 32bit? its outdated if the system runs 64bit
[11:48] <IdleOne> k1l_: it isn't outdated
[11:48] <IdleOne> some people just don't know and 32bit is the safe bet that will work.
[11:49] <ripinged> Can anyone recommend a good channel for people talking about computers?
[11:49] <k1l_> shivam: it says 32bit recommented because 32bit runs on 32bit and 64bit systems. so its a 100%. the 64 cant run on 32bit so there is a possible failure. so they recommend 32bit to avoid the failure
[11:49] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> last time i started up my computer and turned on firefox something glitched and the computer froze up. the text doubled? gt all glitchy looking and there was no way to close out FF or ctrl shft f1 into a terminal to kill it. idees to figure out whats wrong and how to prevent it int he future?
[11:50] <ikonia> ILOVECATSnTACOS: test it again
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> ripps: computers in what sense?
[12:04] <nibbier> Eagleman, apt-file search ldapsearch <-- that's how you'd find out....
[12:06] <sasuke> hi guys, can anyone tell me how can i open *.chm files
[12:08] <TJ-> sasuke: .chm is the Microsoft Compiled Help file. You need Windows, or Windows tools at least
[12:09] <sasuke> TJ-, cant we open in ubuntu without wine program
[12:09] <jrib> sasuke: there are some chm viewers in the repositories like xchm (there are others)
[12:09] <TJ-> sasuke: If there's a viewer ... haha! see what jrib said
[12:09] <bazhang> chmsee  sasuke
[12:10] <sasuke> jrib, TJ- , chking that
[12:10] <jrib> sasuke: yeah chmsee is written in gtk, so you might like that better

[12:16] <Guest55405> hi
[12:18] <gxc> give  me a hand
[12:20] <gordonjcp> okay, here's a fun question
[12:20] <gordonjcp> how do I specify the "priority" of network interfaces, so that when I plug in a USB network device it doesn't immediately try to be the default route?
[12:20] <Eagleman> How do i connect samba to ldap?
[12:20] <Eagleman> There was a command for that but i cant remember it

[12:21] <nibbier> goraxe, disable network manager, manage the ifs yourself
[12:21] <sasuke> jrib, TJ- ,bazhang, thanx guys its working
[12:22] <nibbier> goraxe, or in network manager, in the connection settings, in the ipv4 settings, in routes tell it to ignore automatically obtained routes
[12:22] <devjustforfun_> i have ssh
[12:22] <devjustforfun_> ))
[12:23] <varikonniemi> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/484252 this must be the most sad thread in launchpad history. How can the same bug exist from 2009-2012 and such a serious one?
[12:29] <zetheroo> just wondering .. do I need to be root to install this: https://github.com/anarsoul/libfprint
[12:29] <jrib> zetheroo: libfprint is in the repositories, use apt
[12:30] <zetheroo> jrib: the repo version does not support my hardware
[12:31] <jrib> zetheroo: well you don't /need/ to be root but you may want to install it system-wide anyway
[12:31] <bubu\a> hi guys - ubuntu 10.04 sits in a data center. They like all outbound http/https connections to go via a proxy. I have configured aptitiutde to use the proxy OK. Question is, how best can I use it so that any outbound connections from the server use this http/https proxy?
[12:32] <nibbier> bubu\a, you could do it via netfilter/iptables, this way its transparent to any application. "they" could do that aswell
[12:33] <chris_abyi> hi folks. I got some advanced network problem here. I'm sitting in a large reading room of a library with only a single wifi antenna. There are further antennas outside I could connect to, but my wifi seems to choose the nearest one (although the connectivity is bad). Is there a chance to select an antenna manually? I'm using precise.
[12:33] <bubu\a> thx nibbier , was thinking ip tables
[12:33] <zetheroo> jrib: this does not seem to be working
[12:33] <zetheroo> sudo: ./configure.ac: command not found
[12:33] <brontosaurusrex> usb flash drive will not reformat, i can still see some files on it, but they cant be deleted, any tools to solve that?
[12:34] <chris_abyi> my main question would be how the different wifi antennas behind one ssid are encoded and where to set them manually
[12:34] <mrsnow> I'm trying to run newly installed 12.04 LTS in a vmplayer but I'm getting "load fallback graphics devices - [fail]" during boot. Then it drops to console prompt. Any ideas pls?
[12:34] <nibbier> bubu\a, so you were thinking right already ;-) http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/TransparentProxy.html goes this direction. most software will honor the HTTP_PROXY enviroment variables which might make netfilter solutions a bit overkill
[12:34] <dr_willis> delete the partitions and remake them perhaps brontosaurusrex
[12:34] <jrib> zetheroo: my recommendation is for you to either: 1) seek for an existing backport of the version in quantal  2) create a backport of quantal using the tool ubottu is about to tell you about  3) create your own updated package using the docs ubottu can send you if you /msg ubottu packaging (see the recipes section)
[12:35] <brontosaurusrex> dr_willis, wont work, i tryed gparted
[12:35] <bubu\a> nibbier, wold it be: iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination proxyip:port ??
[12:35] <dr_willis> brontosaurusrex:  see if you can use dd to zero it out. if that fails the usb has gone bad would be my guess
[12:35] <zetheroo> jrib: I don't think the version for quental supports my hardware either
[12:35] <brontosaurusrex> dr_willis, example command?
[12:36] <dr_willis> brontosaurusrex:  ive aeen them fail where they get stuck 'write' protected
[12:36] <bubu\a> bear in mind that this is a web serer and therefore only want http outbound that originates from the server to route via proxy...
[12:36] <zetheroo> jrib: otherwise wouldn't everyone be using that version already?
[12:36] <nibbier> bubu\a, sounds good.... does it work?
[12:36] <brontosaurusrex> dr_willis, thats exactly the behaviour
[12:36] <jrib> zetheroo: are you sure?  (3) is still an option.  but if you want to ignore my advice, you probably need to run autogen.sh so a ./configure gets created
[12:36] <dr_willis> dd  if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX
[12:36] <arch-user> typical noobuntu users
[12:36] <dr_willis> be sure to get X right ;)
[12:36] <arch-user> erasing hard disk without knowing
[12:36] <jrib> zetheroo: quantal is still not released, that's why everyone is not using it :)
[12:37] <arch-user> n00bs
[12:37] <Pici> arch-user: do you have a question?
[12:37] <zetheroo> jrib: sorry, I meant using the package not the OS
[12:37] <arch-user> Yes
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> arch-user: try and be constructive
[12:37] <gordonjcp> nibbier: not sure if you were aiming your comments at me
[12:37] <zetheroo> jrib: there is a autogen.sh in this tar ... how do you run that?
[12:37] <arch-user> Why is ubuntu not as good as arch?
[12:38] <dr_willis> typical troll is typically ignored..
[12:38] <nibbier> gordonjcp, yes i was. dont use autoconfig if you are not happy with the results - or manipulate it to make you happy
[12:38] <gordonjcp> nibbier: yeah, I want autoconfig
[12:38] <gordonjcp> nibbier: I just want it to ignore a particular interface
[12:38] <k1l_> arch-user: troll the arch channels, pls
[12:39] <nibbier> gordonjcp, i think interfaces mentioned in the /etc/network/interface (or such) are not autoconfigured, so ignored for that
[12:39] <gordonjcp> arch-user: #ubuntu-offtopic, if you must
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> arch-user: that's an opinion,. so is not concrete. WHat is ideal for one is bad for another
[12:39] <brontosaurusrex> dr_willis, its blinking after this command, red light thought :P
[12:40] <dr_willis> brontosaurusrex:  how big is the usb?
[12:40] <brontosaurusrex> 4 gigs
[12:40] <varikonniemi> you should have added bs=1k
[12:40] <dr_willis> shouldent take too long.. if its deag.. seen 4gbs for sale for $5
[12:40] <varikonniemi> it will take forever now...
[12:40] <nibbier> bubu\a, http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/TransparentProxy.html#s6 is pretty precise on that, its pre and postrouting, you might be able to skip the snap part...
[12:40] <jrib> zetheroo: why don't you at least try to backport the version of quantal to see if it works since you aren't sure whethere or not it does?  And at least make an attempt at (3) if it doesn't?
[12:40] <jrib> !backport > zetheroo
[12:41] <brontosaurusrex> dr_willis, i know, its academic question ....
[12:41] <nibbier> bubu\a, snat part is what you mightbe able to skip, depending on your network setup
[12:41] <varikonniemi> ctrl-c and do it again with bs=1M
[12:41] <varikonniemi> sorry 1M not 1k
[12:41] <dr_willis> varikonniemi:  i think thats the default these days.. not sure if thats true on all distros
[12:41] <jrib> zetheroo: are you even sure it's a version issue?
[12:41] <varikonniemi> oh, last time i checked was a year ago and back then it was something like 256k
[12:41] <dr_willis> well bs=1024 i think.. where did i see that at. some forum/wiki posts
[12:42] <zetheroo>  jrib: this is where this is coming from :  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfprint/+bug/657031
[12:42] <varikonniemi> thats 1k
[12:42] <gordonjcp> nibbier: solved, though; turns out I can just add the MAC address of the radio to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[12:42] <hua> byebye
[12:42] <varikonniemi> way too low
[12:42] <dr_willis> 1M would be good. ;0 just dont go overkill with like 10000M ;)
[12:43] <zetheroo> jrib: I will look into backports etc ... but got to run to a meeting ... I just wanted to quickly test this new driver out ... ;) tks anyhow ... !
[12:43] <dr_willis> i was thinking the default was higher then 1K these days.
[12:43] <jrib> zetheroo: those comments mention a ppa
[12:43] <TimothyA> having a problem using the package manager...
[12:43] <TimothyA> Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/fontconfig-config_2.8.0-3ubuntu9.1_all.deb
[12:44] <TimothyA> dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/fontconfig-config_2.8.0-3ubuntu9.1_all.deb (--unpack): unable to create `/etc/fonts/conf.d/README.dpkg-new' (while processing `./etc/fonts/conf.d/README'): Invalid argument
[12:44] <TimothyA> how is this fixed?
[12:45] <dr_willis> TimothyA:  sort of a weird error. almost like those files are protected.  or a typo in thr script
[12:45] <akis> anyone can help me please? i followed the procedure of this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/ipn2220 but the systme still denies to recognize my wireless card. any idea?
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: are there any bugs reported?
[12:45] <TimothyA> yes
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> akis: did you get the 2 files named from the windows driver?
[12:45] <TimothyA> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/1039828
[12:45] <TimothyA> but it's for version 9, not 9.1
[12:46] <TimothyA> and they claim to have fixed it in 9.1
[12:46] <dr_willis> TimothyA:  since its about  a README file. a dirty work around may be to just rename it by hand to some backup name
[12:46] <TimothyA> there is no file in /etc/fonts/conf.d
[12:46] <dr_willis> make it? ;)
[12:46] <TimothyA> want me to make windows as well?
[12:46] <dr_willis> so the script can rename it/z thats even weorder
[12:47] <IdleOne> TimothyA: 12.10 is supported in #ubuntu+1
[12:47] <michealPW> It has taken me awhile, but I think I'm finally getting the hand of Unity/GNOME 3 hehe
[12:47] <dr_willis> sounds like its trying to backup a config filw with the wrong options
[12:48] <ripinged> is it possible to set up the launcher bar in ubuntu insteadof being on the left hand side to be like the start bar in windows?
[12:48] <TimothyA> made README, still breaks
[12:48] <akis> well. i can tell you what i did. i download whta the link says. and i think i compiled and installed ndiswrapper
[12:48] <TimothyA> actually, it removed the file I just made
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: the package is in an unstable release, so you will get issues
[12:48] <TimothyA> so... I can't use the package manager anymore?
[12:49] <dr_willis> ripinged:  theres some classic gnome menu tools out.  askubuntu.com had a list of them. several indicator applete. and one called 'cardio' (i think)
[12:49] <akis> then i tried to install neti2220.inf. i found it from the net and i installed it, but i got the message that 12220ntx.sys file is missing and maybe must be needed.
[12:49] <ripinged> Awesome thanks dr_willis
[12:49] <akis> so then the system doesnt recognize my wireless device. what can i do to fix it?
[12:50] <TimothyA> IdleOne: also, this is ubuntu 12.04
[12:50] <TimothyA> not 12.10
[12:51] <akis> i appreciate so much your help
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> akis: did you have it in the same folder as the inf file?
[12:51] <IdleOne> TimothyA: So why are you using a quantal .deb?
[12:51] <TimothyA> IdleOne: I don't know. this is a fresh ubuntu server install
[12:52] <TimothyA> it's getting everything from archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu as precise
[12:53] <TimothyA> so how do I get this dependency check out of apt-get?
[12:53] <IdleOne> TimothyA: strange. Not sure how to help you though. might try sudo apt-get -f install
[12:53] <TimothyA> I need to install other things
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: http://pastie.org/5029469   TimothyA is using the Precise deb
[12:53] <akis> no, ecause i didnt find it in the net and the link you provide me doesnt mention that i have to find it. do you have any idea what can i do next?
[12:53] <TimothyA> apt-get -f install is what gave me those errors
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> akis: you'll need both files in the same folder
[12:53] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip: indeed he is, thanks
[12:53] <TimothyA> so..
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: np :)
[12:54] <mrsnow1> I'm trying to run newly installed 12.04 LTS in a vmplayer but I'm getting "load fallback graphics devices - [fail]" during boot. Then it drops to console prompt. Any ideas pls?
[12:54] <TimothyA> how I fix? :P
[12:54] <IdleOne> TimothyA:  try sudo apt-get -f install
[12:54] <TimothyA> that's what gave me those 2 errors
[12:54] <IdleOne> -f will try to fix any broken packages/not completely installed
[12:54] <akis> yes i understand but wheer can i find it and how can i install it althouht neti2220.inf is already installed?
[12:54] <TimothyA> http://pastebin.com/6nJQ0TJW
[12:55] <TimothyA> apt-get -f install does not work

[12:55] <ActionParsnip> akis: do you have the driver CD for the wireless device?
[12:55] <IdleOne> TimothyA: I see the problem. you need to apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:55] <TimothyA> ...upgrade to 12.10? -_-
[12:55] <IdleOne> no
[12:55] <TimothyA> well... I can't do apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:55] <TimothyA> it's complaining about fontconfig
[12:56] <IdleOne> yes, dist-upgrade doesn't take you to the newest release
[12:56] <IdleOne> err I forget how to explain what dist-upgrade does
[12:56] <TimothyA> so how the hell am I supposed to run dist-upgrade when there are broken packages
[12:57] <kriskropd> TimothyA: you could use do-release-upgrade
[12:57] <IdleOne> no
[12:57] <IdleOne> TimothyA: purge fontconfig-config
[12:57] <Pici> !dist-upgrade | TimothyA IdleOne
[12:57] <IdleOne> then do the dist-upgrade
[12:57] <IdleOne> Pici: thanks, forgot about that factoid
[12:57] <Pici> np
[12:57] <akis> yes i think i have some old cd's but they are available right now. what do i have to do?
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> akis: I have the sys file, gimme a sec
[12:58] <TimothyA> IdleOne: it won't let me purge it
[12:58] <IdleOne> catch 22
[12:58] <TimothyA> I am not amused by this
[12:58] <TimothyA> one broken package, and the whole system has gone to ****?
[12:58] <IdleOne> calm down
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> akis: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/i2220ntx.sys

[13:00] <TimothyA> so I can't do -f install, I can't purge, and I can't do distupgrade
[13:00] <TimothyA> so what's left?
[13:00] <IdleOne> TimothyA: you should be abot to delete the .deb from /var/cache/apt/archives and then do the dist-upgrade
[13:00] <akis> do i have something to pick it up?
[13:00] <IdleOne> able*

[13:00] <basketballstar> when does ubuntu come out to the public for android
[13:01] <IdleOne> We don't know
[13:01] <IdleOne> nothing has been announced yet
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> basketballstar: there is one, but you are VNCing to a running system on the device
[13:01] <TimothyA> IdleOne: does not work
[13:01] <basketballstar> what isVNCing
[13:02] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/private/3wti9oeu1mehym2zoes6ja
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> basketballstar: when you use VNC to view the display of another system usiong an old unsecure protocol
[13:02] <basketballstar> do i hyave to be root to get android on ubuntu
[13:02] <basketballstar> ubuntu on android
[13:03] <Pici> basketballstar: Canonical has not released any product that allows you to do that.  IdleOne is talking about using remote desktop software.
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: try:  cd /; sudo dpkg -i  /var/cache/apt/archives/fontconfig-config_2.8.0-3ubuntu9.1_all.deb

[13:05] <ActionParsnip> akis: put it in the same folder as your inf file then reinstall the driver as you did
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: same output?
[13:05] <TimothyA> same error
[13:05] <kolaracdn> do u guys know a way to put ubuntu on a tablet
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: if you run:  file /etc/fonts/conf.d/README     is it present?
[13:06] <akis> yea ok. but i dont have the .sys file!
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> I just gave you it!
[13:06] <kolaracdn> do u guys know a way to put ubuntu on a tablet
[13:06] <basketballstar> on android do you need to root to put ubuntu on
[13:06] <samuel> kolaracdn it depends on what kind of tablet
[13:06] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: no
[13:07] <basketballstar> kolaracdn,  i need the same thing
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> basketballstar: you can run a Linux distro in the background of the system, then VNC to localhost
[13:07] <basketballstar> i have galaxy tab 2 10.1
[13:07] <kolaracdn> what kind of android tablets will it work on
[13:07] <basketballstar> i dont understand
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: and if you run:  file  /etc/fonts/conf.d      is it a folder?
[13:07] <TimothyA> yes
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> basketballstar: jeez
[13:07] <kolaracdn> samuel: do u know the kind of tablet needed
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> basketballstar: theer is a package to make a Linux based OS run in the background of your device
[13:08] <basketballstar> how do i instaLL IT
[13:08] <samuel> kolaracdn it depends on whether it is an ARM tablet or an x86 (intel compatible) one
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> basketballstar: there is a full LXDE desktop and all that stuff, you communicate with it by connecting to the localhost on the VNC port and you will see the desktop
[13:08] <samuel> ARM devices tend to have the O/S installed on a ROM that needs to be flashed
[13:08] <Eagleman> [2012/10/10 15:00:02.208298,  1] lib/smbldap.c:1330(another_ldap_try)
[13:08] <Eagleman>   Connection to LDAP server failed for the 1 try!
[13:08] <kolaracdn> samuel: arm tablet
[13:08] <skiloop> ?
[13:09] <skiloop> what is this for
[13:09] <samuel> getting it installed on those devices tends to be more of a hack as the bootloaders are locked
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> basketballstar: http://www.redmondpie.com/install-and-run-ubuntu-on-your-android-device-with-ubuntu-installer-download-now/
[13:09] <skiloop> quit
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> basketballstar: 99% of what you can do in Ubuntu you can do in that session, so its fairly pointless
[13:09] <KevinSjoberg> The purple terminal theme that come with a new Ubuntu installation, what's name? I'm trying to get the same theme for my Mac at work..
[13:09] <samuel> check out vivaldi not sure if it is available yet but that is an interesting project to provide open tablet hardware
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> basketballstar: do in Android, sorry
[13:10] <akis> ActionParsnip: could you please provide me the sys file you wrote that you have?
[13:10] <leotr> is there a way to programatically set static ip to ubuntu server
[13:10] <nikkkkk> big up geniuses!
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: try:  sudo touch /etc/fonts/conf.d/README; sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/fontconfig-config_2.8.0-3ubuntu9.1_all.deb
[13:10] <samuel> waddup nikkkkk
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> akis: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/i2220ntx.sys
[13:11] <samuel> ActionParsnip, thanks for the help earlier sadly it was none of the things you suggested, i'm still hunting for a solution
[13:11] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: no difference
[13:11] <nikkkkk> I'm on a mint13 install and my laptops hardware isnt supported rly.. would a fresh ubuntu install have better support?
[13:11] <samuel> my network manager still regenerates the same 2 connections after they have been removed
[13:12] <nikkkkk> its the proprietary driver for my gpu thats buggin a lot
[13:12] <TimothyA> touch: setting times of `/etc/fonts/conf.d/README': No such file or directory
[13:12] <Eagleman> Why is samba not working:  http://pastebin.com/STAwqMgi
[13:12] <samuel> if i do a locate on "connections" it shows a file path to ~/.gconf where connections 1 and 2 reside, but if i cd there, it shows nothing
[13:12] <\bMike\b> Update Manager shows changelogs when my system has pending updates. How can I access those on the command line with apt-thing or aptitude or something?
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: was the file created?
[13:13] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: it was not
[13:13] <samuel> nikkkkk what gpu do you have?
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: make the file, just to humour the installer, may work
[13:13] <nikkkkk> an hd3650
[13:13] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: I did that
[13:13] <TimothyA> it just removed it
[13:13] <TimothyA> and gave the same error
[13:13] <TimothyA> for some reason I can't create any file with touch there
[13:14] <nikkkkk> I tried tons of installs and its all bugging cause the hardware is unsupported
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: you could force install the deb
[13:14] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: how?
[13:14] <samuel> i find AMD gpu's still cause me pain, have you tried downloading the catylist drivers from the official website
[13:14] <nikkkkk> the mint13 users said that cata 12.4 was the only option on mint, and it couldnt work
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/fontconfig-config_2.8.0-3ubuntu9.1_all.deb
[13:15] <nikkkkk> yes I have, the newest and the mintsupported
[13:15] <farfor> anyone know SARg report ?
[13:15] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: again!
[13:15] <nikkkkk> but now I'm giving up on mint, and I lost my win7
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: again what?
[13:15] <TimothyA> same error
[13:15] <samuel> how is performance with open source drivers?
[13:15] <nikkkkk> so I'm looking for a linux distro that would work :D
[13:15] <TimothyA> it just won't proceed
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: I suggest you report a bug
[13:15] <IdleOne> TimothyA: maybe try asking in #ubuntu-server
[13:15] <nikkkkk> its very buggy, even the OS seems buggy in ways that I wouldnt think had anything to do with the gpuy
[13:15] <TimothyA> also, why can't I touch files in /etc/ ?
[13:16] <john_rambo> I just finished installing 12.04. Is mplayer 2 in the repos ?
[13:16] <TimothyA> I can do it everywhere else
[13:16] <KevinSjoberg> Any ideas?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: is the filesystem for / mounted read only
[13:16] <TimothyA> no
[13:16] <TimothyA> I can do touch in /
[13:16] <TimothyA> just not in /etc/
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: you need sudo touch as the folder and files will not be owned by your user
[13:16] <nikkkkk> but samuel did you say you had a pain with an amd gpu on ubuntu
[13:16] <TimothyA> I am currently logged in as root as I was prepping up the server
[13:16] <nikkkkk> are you on a fairly older laptop?
[13:17] <samuel> ubuntu or linux mint, AMD gpu's often have inferior drivers to intel and even nvidia
[13:17] <TimothyA> adding sudo in front of it didn't change anything either
[13:17] <TimothyA> I just can't do touch in /etc/
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: try being user and running:  sudo apt-get -f install
[13:17] <TimothyA> I can open up nano and save the file...
[13:17] <samuel> no i had my problems with the newer APU's, that got better over time
[13:17] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: I don't have any users yet..
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: is there a separate partition for /etc
[13:17] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: no
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: you do, you made one when you installed
[13:17] <nikkkkk> so I really shouldve installed linux WITH win7 haha...
[13:18] <nikkkkk> sadly
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> nikkkkk: why so?
[13:18] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: it doens't make one when installing ubuntu-server
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: it does, I've done it a tonne of times
[13:18] <nikkkkk> cause it seems I'm not competent to fix the driver issues on this os
[13:18] <TimothyA> then what's this secret user?
[13:18] <nikkkkk> and now it seems ubuntu wouldnt make a diff
[13:18] <TimothyA> because I've never come across an ubuntu installation with a pre-configured user
[13:18] <samuel> linux mint is based on ubuntu
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> nikkkkk: using Wubi doesn't give anything different with drivers or access to hardware
[13:19] <nikkkkk> I rly dunno
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: you must have enabled it, or ran:  sudo -i
[13:19] <samuel> wait - you are using wubi?? i have had issues with graphics and wubi installs
[13:19] <TimothyA> is there just a way I can remove fontconfig and its dependencies and anything depending on it so I can continue to work?
[13:19] <nikkkkk> Im on mint13
[13:19] <TimothyA> I am logged in as root. there are no other users right now!
[13:19] <TimothyA> other than service users
[13:19] <nikkkkk> they said that I could only instal cata 12.4 on mint13
[13:19] <Rochford77> im trying to DB ubuntu and win7. i have 80GB of "unallocated sapce" that im trying to make an expanded drivr, with '/home' '/' and 'swap space' as logical drives in the expanded drive. can make the space an expanded drive.
[13:19] <TimothyA> I am logged in as root, I have root. I am root.
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> nikkkkk: the ONLY difference is that wubi installs are stored in files on your NTFS partition and are loop mounted, nothing more
[13:19] <nikkkkk> is it the same with ubuntu, seeing as its base
[13:19] <TimothyA> I am not an underprivileged user right now
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: then it can't be ubuntu
[13:20] <Rochford77> cant*
[13:20] <TimothyA> I gave you the pastebins, it most definitely is ubuntu
[13:20] <IdleOne> TimothyA: custom kernel?
[13:20] <TimothyA> IdleOne: probably
[13:20] <TimothyA> it would explain why dediserve is a piece of shit
[13:20] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip: could that be causing an issue?
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: none of the official ubuntu releases have the root acount enabled and the server installs has you make a user at install time
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: probably
[13:21] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: well...it's the only one account I can use right now
[13:21] <IdleOne> TimothyA: I think you need to talk to your VPS help desk
[13:21] <TimothyA> default server installation
[13:21] <TimothyA> IdleOne: you mean 99% of server hosters?
[13:21] <nikkkkk> ActionParsnip: I dunno what you meant I should do with wubi, I dont think I'm following u any more ... but I'm gonna try on ubuntu
[13:21] <akis> ActionParsnip: i repeated the installation giving the command sudo ndiswrapper -i neti2220.inf with i2220ntx.sys in the same dir with neti2220.inf file and i got the message that driver neti2220 is already installed. the same message i got previously when i repeat the procedure without the new .sys file, but not hte first time when i got the missing alert message. is it ok now. or do i have to do somenthing else. for example to deinstalla the
[13:21] <akis> drive r and install it agian?
[13:21] <mneptok> TimothyA: an Ubuntui default server installation does not have a root account enabled for interactive login. so your provider has done something odd.
[13:21] <TimothyA> is there any way to FIX apt-get?
[13:21] <TimothyA> I don't want fontconfig
[13:21] <TimothyA> I don't need it
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Garnfv2pf2s  blast forward to 1:20 and watch.
[13:22] <TimothyA> I want it gone
[13:22] <TimothyA> just tell me how to get rid of this fontconfig abomination
[13:22] <IdleOne> apt-get is not what is broken, that package is broken and probably because of that custom kernel
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> akis: thats because you screwed it up last time, remove all the drivers from ndiswrapper and start again with the ndiswrapper config
[13:22] <TimothyA> IdleOne: so how do I get rid of this package so I can use apt-get again?
[13:22] <TimothyA> that's the only thing I want right now, as this is just wasting time
[13:23] <mneptok> TimothyA: "MY head hurts, help me remove it." "It's probably a headache. try some analgesics," "HELP ME CUT MY HEAD OFF!"
[13:23] <IdleOne> TimothyA: I think you have tried pretty much everything.
[13:23] <akis> ok. that a good idea. but how can i remove them completely and start for the begining?
[13:24] <mneptok> TimothyA: you don't know how to fix the issue, seek advice from those that do, and then dismiss that advice as "not what i want."
[13:24] <TimothyA> mneptok: ... so far none of the advice has worked
[13:24] <IdleOne> least everything we have been able to think of
[13:24] <TimothyA> why is apt-get this fragile
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: if you look at the paste, it also says (while processing `./etc/fonts/conf.d/README')  which seems obscure
[13:24] <TimothyA> "Oops. I downloaded a package that is broken.
[13:24] <nikkkkk> YEYA
[13:24] <mneptok> TimothyA: contact your VPS provider. ask about custom tweaks they have done, and how a user works with them to fix package issues.
[13:24] <IdleOne> TimothyA: That custom kernel is probably what is causing the issue.
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: its not so fragile, its just one of the huge weaknesses in package based OSes
[13:25] <TimothyA> so how do I get rid of the package?  Should be ok, especially the readme file
[13:26] <IdleOne> because your VPS provider did done went and broke something. I can't make this any more clear.
[13:26] <TimothyA> IdleOne: odd that I am the only one then
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: oh, is it a VPS?
[13:26] <TimothyA> this specific server is a VPS, yes
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> oh jeez those are always fun
[13:26] <farfor> anyone know SARg report ?
[13:27] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip: look at the kernel name, there is some custom stuff in there for sure.
[13:27] <TimothyA> so why the hell would it work for everyone but me?
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> I've seen all sorts of dumbness wjith VPSes
[13:27] <AR__> hi i only have 1gb hdd on my ubuntu computer because linux dont need lottof space so i want to add more memory i was wondering since i have lot of old cell phone around can i use wires to connect cell phone memories together and make more room in computer memory with cell phone?
[13:27] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: ... I need apt-get to install a package in order to extract the .deb ...
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: no, you can just use:  ar x filename    to extract debs
[13:28] <TimothyA> The program 'ar' can be found in the following packages:
[13:28] <AR__> is any apt get package for what i want?
[13:28] <TimothyA> this sucks...
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: ar is in a standard install. Your VPS has removed it for some stupid reason
[13:28] <TimothyA> I spent all night transferring 600GB...
[13:28] <TimothyA> and now *THIS*
[13:28] <AR__> hello?
[13:28] <TimothyA> one MINOR problem, and the entire OS has become utterly unusable
[13:29] <TimothyA> and there is no option to remove the broken package
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: if you had a standard install you would not have an issue
[13:29] <TimothyA> ActionParsnip: ...
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: I've seen people on VPS where the setuid bit wasn't set on sudo
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: makes sudo NOT work
[13:29] <AR__> help please
[13:29] <TimothyA> "If you used OS9 you would not have this issue"
[13:30] <ActionParsnip> TimothyA: VPS idiots seem to love messing with the OS so it doesn't work. The OS will installl and upgrade just fine and you should at least have ar installed. Its a default app, but again, your admin peeps have been messing around
[13:31] <AR__> dont get mad
[13:32] <samuel> AR__ i'm not sure what you mean about sticking your phone memories together like that, i cant see it working easily
[13:32] <AR__> ubuntu memory manger very smart
[13:32] <samuel> if they were SD cards you could use a hub and then mount the file system and creat a link between the mounted media and somewhere in your userspace
[13:32] <AR__> should maybe work
[13:33] <samuel> 1gb is quite small, are you using a minimal installation to get that working?
[13:33] <AR__> ubantu linux no x server
[13:33] <akis> ActionParsnip: could ypu please advise me how can i deinstall the driver to start from the begging the installation?
[13:33] <samuel> so its essentially just a terminal?
[13:34] <AR__> that is linux
[13:34] <samuel> no, linux is a kernel :P
[13:34] <kolaracdn> linux is not a kernel
[13:34] <samuel> the terminal is one way, the main way of interacting witha linux based os
[13:34] <AR__> linus not intend graphic lol
[13:34] <snowweb> test
[13:35] <samuel> ubuntu is an o/s, linux is the kernel
[13:35] <ardchoille> Linux is a kernel, or OS, that coupled with userland apps creates a Linux distribution
[13:35] <kolaracdn> linux is the os the kernel is BSD
[13:35] <samuel> you best be trolling
[13:35] <kolaracdn> ubuntu is the flavor/distro like how windows has xp 7 8
[13:35] <bahamas> hello. anyone else know about issues with google plus hangout? I'm on ubuntu 11.10
[13:35] <MrElendig> kolaracdn: linux certainly is a kernel
[13:35] <snowweb> mrsnow: you still there?
[13:35] <samuel> please, go to kernel.org
[13:36] <BluesKaj> does anyone have a question , or is this silly debate going to continue?
[13:36] <samuel> download the kernel
[13:36] <samuel> load it onto a system, and tell me how you proceed
[13:36] <Myrtti> how does this debate relate to Ubuntu support? please move on.
[13:37] <AR__> no fighting
[13:37] <kolaracdn> LINUX IS NOT A KERNEL
[13:37] <lmn1vg6> hi all
[13:37] <Marzatha> Linux is rms?
[13:37] <ardchoille> I'm not sure if it's a support question, more of learning about the system. What are the steps from power on to the login screen? I know initramfs is in there
[13:37] <kolaracdn> linux is not  a kernel the definition is: An open-source version of the UNIX operating system.
[13:37] <AR__> root mean square have nothing to do with ubantu
[13:38] <bahamas> so, issues with google plus hangout on ubuntu? anyone know anything?
[13:38] <AR__> gplus hangout fun
[13:38] <lmn1vg6> hi whats up guys

[13:40] <Myrtti> nibbier: please, let it be and move on.
[13:40] <akis> ActionParsnip: could you please advise me how can i deinstall the driver to start from the begging the installation?
[13:41] <L30n0v> after 2-3 try i stil have no luck
[13:41] <blackshirt> kolaracdn: i don't think like that, kernel was not full OS

[13:51] <MrElendig> lmn1vg6_: what signal strenght are you getting, and does dmesg say anything intresting when the net drops? also do you have power saving enabled for the wifi?
[13:52] <t-mart> Fanshawe: perhaps there's a way to get what you want from 12? what do you like/need from 10.04?
[13:53] <lmn1vg6_> i have 37% signal stength....
[13:53] <elixey> hod o i use apparmor to secure a directory from any and all programs i want access denied to?
[13:53] <lmn1vg6_> i have 37% signal stength.... MrElendig
[13:53] <MrElendig> lmn1vg6_: try moving to get better signal and see if it still drops
[13:53] <lmn1vg6_> .... MrElendig i have try it

[13:56] <iceroot> ArcaneWater: ##windows or the manual of your pc
[13:56] <iceroot> ArcaneWater: or look into the bios
[13:56] <lmn1vg6_> does somebody know how to deal with the continius diskonection of my wireles wifi adapter?
[13:57] <Fanshawe> t-mart: It's mainly that I've just about squeezed everything I need from my OS onto a 4GB SD, and if I upgrade I'd need to find a way to do that all over again.

[14:02] <TobalJackson> hello ubuntu
[14:02] <AR__> hello how are you
[14:02] <TobalJackson> I'm doing alright
[14:03] <AR__> that is very good
[14:03] <AR__> i am glad to hear
[14:03] <TobalJackson> Is there a channel other than this one that I should join for help with getting my hardware working with ubuntu 12.04?
[14:03] <AR__> ##electronics i think
[14:03] <MrElendig> lmn1vg6_: iwconfig eth1 power off   (replace eth1 with the name of your wifi interface)
[14:03] <OptiWork> TobalJackson: what hardware?
[14:03] <IdleOne> TobalJackson: Just ask your question and if anybody can help they will
[14:04] <TobalJackson> specifically
[14:04] <TobalJackson> My USB3.0 ports
[14:04] <TobalJackson> on my Asus M4A89GTD-Pro motherboard
[14:04] <TobalJackson> seem to be recognized as only usb 2.0
[14:04] <MrElendig> TobalJackson: usb 3.0 provided by the intel chipset?
[14:04] <lmn1vg6_> and i gues if i wnat to enable again i use iwconfig eth1 power on?? mrelendig?
[14:04] <TobalJackson> its an AMD/ATI chipset
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> TobalJackson: are the ports set to usb3 in BIOS?
[14:05] <MrElendig> TobalJackson: xhci_hcd loaded?
[14:05] <TobalJackson> I tried disabling legacy support
[14:05] <MrElendig> lmn1vg6_: yes
[14:05] <TobalJackson> but I didn't see anything in the bios related to switching usb 3.0 specifically off
[14:05] <MrElendig> lmn1vg6_: the name is probably not eth1 though
[14:05] <MrElendig> lmn1vg6_: run iwconfig without any args to see what interface has the wireless extention
[14:05] <nicofs> Is there someone who can help me shed light on some DNS issues? I can't access some Internet domains (which i previously could), my DSL Provider claims "it's your linux" - I think they deliberately block. But since I have proof for neither, I need to start somewhere debugging my DNS settings, I guess... suggestions?
[14:05] <OptiWork> lmn1vg6_: morelikely wlan0
[14:05] <TobalJackson> I'm unfortunately at work right now, not near my computer
[14:06] <anonymous_> Hey
[14:06] <TobalJackson> MrElendig: how can I verify that xhci_hcd is loaded?
[14:06] <MrElendig> lsmod
[14:06] <anonymous_> LOL
[14:06] <ActionParsnip> nicofs: try:  echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null       then try some websites
[14:06] <anonymous_> How do i reaname ?
[14:06] <MrElendig> anonymous_: mv
[14:06] <anonymous_> i using xCHAT on fking Anonymous OS
[14:06] <anonymous_> .mv
[14:06] <anonymous_> .rename
[14:06] <anonymous_> !op
[14:07] <TobalJackson> and MrElendig , how can I enable it if it isn't?
[14:07] <MrElendig> TobalJackson: modprobe xhci-hcd
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> anonymous_: Anonymous OS isn't supported here
[14:08] <lmn1vg6_> thanx guys i will try it....!!
[14:08] <sasuke> hello guys, i removed compiz from my ubuntu.  I would like to upload it offsite.
[14:11] <nicofs> ActionParsnip, yes
[14:11] <ActionParsnip> nicofs: tried a differnet browser?
[14:12] <nicofs> ActionParsnip, just did. works... I would have never thought that possible... oO
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> !info automysqlbackup
[14:13] <philipp__> hey nerds
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> mzuverink: looks like a strong candidate to me
[14:13] <ActionParsnip> nicofs: then you have some addon/extension enabled
[14:13] <mzuverink> ActionParsnip, thanks for that, looking at it now
[14:13] <nicofs> ActionParsnip, does Chromium use its own DNS servers?!?
[14:13] <philipp__> i have just 1 big ubuntu partition on my harddisk. whats the best way to shrink it to half its size and make an other free partition?
[14:13] <TobalJackson> I'm pretty sure it's 3.6
[14:14] <Eagleman> nicofs i dont think so
[14:14] <melvincv> mzuverink:  mysqldump command?
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> nicofs: it has some pre-caching DNS abilities in there to grab DNS's of links before you click them
[14:14] <sasuke> hello guys, i removed compiz from my ubuntu and after restart i didnt see any windows-manager. Can anyone help me out.
[14:15] <nicofs> ActionParsnip, AdBlockPlus... and when I enter the domain I get redirected to my Provider's search engine telling me, they couldn't find the domain - yet listing it as the first result in their "did you mean..."-list...
[14:15] <melvincv> sasuke: what do you see now?
[14:16] <filler333> just wondering what's wrong with my man pages i can't scroll through them without using th arrow keys and if i search for a string in a man page if the string is not found man closes, what's wrong?
[14:16] <sasuke> melvincv, all i can see is only desktop.
[14:18] <melvincv> sasuke: Only the wallpaper?
[14:18] <sasuke> melvincv, all of my data is there
[14:19] <melvincv> sasuke: Try alt+F2, and enter:  metacity --replace
[14:19] <sasuke> melvincv, through terminal i can do everything
[14:19] <m000gle> Does anyone know of a way to use the NotifyOSD notification bubbles, the default Ubuntu ones which appear in the top-right hand corner, when logged into a Gnome-Shell session? ... I may prefer the Shell to Unity, but NotifyOSD is far more elegant/useful than the default Gnome ones =/
[14:19] <m000gle> I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and Gnome-Shell 3.4
[14:20] <melvincv> sasuke: try through terminal, only if you don't get a run box on pressing Alt+F2
[14:20] <sasuke> melvincv, will it replace old lap
[14:21] <sasuke> melvincv, i mean same as before removing the compiz
[14:21] <melvincv> sasuke: why you removed compiz in the first place?
[14:22] <sasuke> melvinc, i want to remove effects, dashhome, from my ubuntu version. i want menu bar which is like 10.04, 10.10.
[14:22] <samuel> sasuke use gnome classic
[14:22] <melvincv> sasuke: then just apt-get install gnome-panel
[14:23] <melvincv> that will give you gnome classic interface similar to Gnome 2... well almost.
[14:23] <valnour> I have an odd problem on my Thinkpad T420: sometimes, if I close the lid, when I open it, it will just be a black screen
[14:23] <sasuke> melvincv, through google i found  that if i remove compiz i will get menu bar. so i did it
[14:24] <valnour> anyone have similar problems? it also rarely effects just locking the screen with Ctrl+Alt+L
[14:24] <melvincv> sasuke: well, that will remove the animations, but will break your Unity desktop, because it runs as a Compiz plugin :(
[14:25] <melvincv> sasuke: sudo apt=get install gnome-panel
[14:25] <blazemore> I'm trying to upgrade from 12.04 to the 12.10 beta, but do-release-upgrade -d says "No new release found"
[14:25] <sasuke> melvincv, u mean so i cant get menu bar
[14:26] <philipp__> hey, i have 1 ubuntu partition using my entire harddrive. i would like to size it down to the half to make space for an other partition. howto?
[14:26] <blazemore> Fixed it with prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
[14:26] <melvincv> sasuke: of course, you will get menus, but you won't be running Unity. (Is this what you asked for?)
[14:26] <sasuke> yes
[14:27] <scarrs> philipp__:  boot live cd and use gparted
[14:28] <melvincv> sasuke: Welcome to Ubuntu. Do remember to take backups before you experiment :)
[14:28] <scarrs> :)
[14:28] <crazydip> and don't remove critical stuff unless you know what you are removing/doing :)
[14:29] <jca1981-2> hi i have an ubuntu server running at home without x installed. how can i start and access X from work via vnc?
[14:29] <jrib> !vnc | jca1981-2
[14:29] <jca1981-2> i want x to unly run when i need to connect to it
[14:29] <sasuke> melvincv, thanx for that i dont have anything for taking bckup.. I am leaning linux (new comer) :D
[14:30] <crazydip> jca1981-2: you can't access something that's not there (in your case X)
[14:31] <jca1981-2> of course i will install x, i just only want to run it when i need it, i dont want an x running on my server when im not using it :)
[14:31] <sasuke> melvincv, i installed gnome-panel
[14:31] <jca1981-2> does FreeNX have a windows client?
[14:32] <Jupiter123> hi
[14:32] <samuel> jcal981-2 why dont you install x, but create a session that doesnt use it?
[14:32] <samuel> then SSH in and run startx when you need it
[14:32] <scarrs> samuel... how do I create a session that doent use X?
[14:32] <Jupiter123> I want to download the whole web page of http://vijayanagara.in/ who to do it using wget ? I Want to use it for offline
[14:32] <jca1981-2> samuel thats a good idea, but i dont know how
[14:32] <Jupiter123> could any help help me quick
[14:33] <Dreadtower> Darn - someone's called themselves Jupiter and sprung my 'highlight' from ##astronomy - I'm an amateur astronomer with  aparticular interest in Jupiter
[14:33] <samuel> lol neither do i, i know how to customise a session that DOES use a GUI but not one that doesnt
[14:33] <CellTech> Do we linux peeps have anything that can mimic silverlight? I wanna watch streaming hockey but it requires silverlight
[14:33] <samuel> i'm not sure if the display manager can do that even?
[14:33] <crazydip> jca1981-2: here is a guide on server with gui: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI
[14:34] <jca1981-2> !FreeNX
[14:35] <Jupiter123> how to download whole webpage using wget command for offline use
[14:35] <Jupiter123> could anyone help in this regard
[14:35] <gordonjcp> jca1981-2: don't install X on servers
[14:35] <crazydip> jca1981-2: although i recommend staying away from the gui on a server, and if you are super intent on one don't install a full-blown Desktop Environment, insted some lightwieght window manager
[14:35] <satellit_e> Jupiter123 are you using elementar os?
[14:36] <satellit_e> elementary#
[14:36] <Jupiter123> no
[14:36] <Jupiter123> what is it
[14:36] <jca1981-2> i want to somtimes run eclipse to program some python. what would be best for that? fluxbox?
[14:36] <gordonjcp> jca1981-2: there is absolutely no sane reason to have a GUI on a server
[14:36] <crazydip> Jupiter123: if you want just the html (no images) just use wget <URL>
[14:36] <satellit_e> a desktop basedon ubuntu on of its versions is jupiter
[14:36] <Jupiter123> i tried it but i only get the front page of the site
[14:37] <crazydip> jca1981-2: that's crazy, why would you open up eclipse on a server via ssh?
[14:37] <Jupiter123> note the link corresponding to other tabs
[14:37] <Jupiter123> I meant not their
[14:37] <Jupiter123> wget -r didn't work indeed
[14:38] <satellit_e> http://elementaryos.org/
[14:38] <jca1981-2> crazydip i would like an easy envioment to program python in accesseble from anywhere :)
[14:38] <OerHeks> we don't support ubuntu-forks, satellit_e
[14:39] <satellit_e> ok
[14:39] <jca1981-2> i could have another virtual machine on my server just for that but that would meen more overhead and more ram usage, and i only need to run x sometimes.
[14:39] <Jupiter123> could anyone know how to download whole webpage to work offline
[14:40] <OerHeks> Jupiter123, answer #1 > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8755229/how-to-download-all-file-from-website-using-wget
[14:41] <crazydip> i suggest you use an advanced text editor like vim which you can get on pretty much any platform (of course it works best on linux) and just ssh into your server and hack away... if you do really really want X (bad idea/habit imo) i already gave you a link to a wiki
[14:41] <Jupiter123> that link , I tried it, but still no success
[14:41] <Jupiter123> working with different links
[14:42] <nikos> hi all. i am trying to setup my wireless onboard card using ndiswrapper. i tried once to see wireless management on network management but afte i rebbot hte system i lost it. any idea to restore it?
[14:42] <MrElendig> nikos: what wifi card/chip?
[14:42] <crazydip> jca1981-2: ^^ see answer above
[14:43] <MrElendig> ndiswrapper should not be used unless it is _really_ needed
[14:43] <nikos> yep a chip on board
[14:43] <nikos> or maybe a pci, plugin on board form factory
[14:43] <nikos> from factory
[14:44] <OerHeks> nikis, open terminal: lspci ( and find the line with your wifi, and post it here)
[14:45] <otkrick> Hi! Do you know html-editors with web-based user interface?
[14:45] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[14:45] <nikos> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1271278/
[14:46] <jrib> otkrick: I *know* of codemirror
[14:46] <gordonjcp> otkrick: What exactly are you trying to do?
[14:46] <gordonjcp> otkrick: there are various wysiwyg javascripty things for adding to web pages (such as for the editing interface of a CMS)
[14:47] <nikos> Ethernet controller: InProComm Inc. IPN 2220 802.11g i think is my device i am trying to setup
[14:48] <otkrick> gordonjcp: I avoid CMS, I need simple web-editor for my application
[14:48] <MrElendig> nikos: my condolances
[14:48] <MrElendig> nikos: one of the worst wifi chips ever made, and no sane drivers for it
[14:48] <vikorasm1ssen> Hi, i have a bunch of files in a folder, and would like to move them all to a subfolder, what is the command to do so? Preferably without changing any timestamps or similar
[14:49] <MrElendig> nikos: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2049417&page=2  etc
[14:49] <MrElendig> vikorasm1ssen: rsync or cp -a can do it
[14:50] <Sidewinder> otkrick, Have you looked at Quanta Plus? Perhaps it might meet your needs.
[14:50] <MrElendig> or you can mv, but that is slightly unsafe if doint it across filesystems
[14:50] <MrElendig> find . -type f -exec mv '{}' subdir/ \;
[14:51] <sidney_> This command doesn't  take me to the folder what am i doing wrong? cd ~./downloads
[14:51] <MrElendig> sidney_: no .
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> sidney_: ~/.downloads
[14:51] <MrElendig> ~/downloads I bet
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> sidney_: ~./downloads is nonsense
[14:51] <nikos> MrElendig: do you think i could fix it or is it not worth to try?
[14:51] <MrElendig> nikos: ndiswrapper might work
[14:52] <vikorasm1ssen> MrElendig: I'm not moving across filesystems, just copied a bunch of files to a folder when I really wanted it in a subfolder.. Actually, it might be easiest to just just do it with SFTP or something to avoid any large mistakes :\
[14:52] <otkrick> Sidewinder, jrib: thx, but I need in simple alternative of GoogleDocs for my users (web-based interface for editing html-documents). Not source-editor
[14:53] <vikorasm1ssen> *I'm connected via SSH, which is why it had to be a command*
[14:53] <nikos> i tried ndiswrapper already as i wrote bove. i swa once my wireless and then i lost it. what did i make wrong. how can i restore the procedure?
[14:53] <philaneous> hi i just set up a virtual host on my server and everything seems to work accordingly until i try to write to the home folder
[14:53] <Sidewinder> otkrick, It was just a suggestion; sorry if it's not what you're looking for.
[14:53] <MrElendig> vikorasm1ssen: just use find then
[14:53] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> video frame rate is very slow on my new xubuntu install 750mb ram 1.7ghz,also anything thats graphics intese is crappy.
[14:53] <jrib> Sidewinder: try ~/Downloads
[14:53] <MrElendig> find + mv
[14:53] <jrib> sidney_: try ~/Downloads
[14:54] <MrElendig> ILOVECATSnTACOS: what encoding and res?
[14:54] <vikorasm1ssen> MrElendig: I'll try it, thanks
[14:54] <philaneous> hi i just set up a virtual host on my server and everything seems to work accordingly until i try to write to the home folder
[14:54] <MrElendig> ILOVECATSnTACOS: that hardware is really too slow for eg 1080p h264
[14:54] <Sidewinder> jrib, :P
[14:54] <philaneous> how do i fix my permissions
[14:54] <MrElendig> ILOVECATSnTACOS: also what gfx chip and driver?
[14:54] <sidney_> MrElendig, without the . No such file or directory
[14:54] <Sidewinder> jrib, I'm just glad that I'm not the only one that does that. :)
[14:55] <MrElendig> philaneous: chown, chmod, chattr, setfsacl
[14:55] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> MrElendig, how do i determine that info?
[14:55] <MrElendig> setfacl*
[14:55] <jrib> Sidewinder: :)  only 26 people should be allowed in a channel at a time
[14:55] <MrElendig> ILOVECATSnTACOS: you don't know what hardware you have?
[14:55] <vikorasm1ssen> MrElendig: Oh, by the way.. If i read the find correctly it copies only files from the current directory. I need it to recursively copy all files in subdirectories to the new location too :\
[14:55] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> MrElendig, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01)
[14:55] <MrElendig> ILOVECATSnTACOS: if so, lspci + the xorg log
[14:55] <jrib> !permissions > philaneous
[14:55] <philaneous> MrElendig: i tried sudo chown username:username /home/username
[14:55] <MrElendig> vikorasm1ssen: find is as recursive as you want it to be
[14:56] <jrib> philaneous: if you want more specific help, you need to ask a more specific question (i.e. state exactly what the current permissions are and what exactly you want them to be)
[14:56] <MrElendig> vikorasm1ssen: look at -maxdepth in the man page
[14:57] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> MrElendig, thats my hardware,by xorg log do you mean xorg.cong?
[14:57] <philaneous> jrib: i want the user to be able to write to it and whats the command again to see what permissions are enabled
[14:57] <MrElendig> ILOVECATSnTACOS: /var/log/Xorg.0.log  asuming X on display 0
[14:57] <jrib> philaneous: ls -ld
[14:58] <vikorasm1ssen> MrElendig: Thanks, I have some reading to do :)
[14:58] <MrElendig> vikorasm1ssen: find is recursive by default btw
[14:58] <shwaiil> Q: Updating the Kernel helps solving Driver issues ? I have a Killer Wireless-N 1102 that doesn't work properly (connection drops every 15m). Under 12.04, computer brand new. Been trying to fix this since last night, more then 6 hours now. I'm not in that machine ATM. Thanks!
[14:58] <MrElendig> test it by replacing mv with echo :)
[14:59] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> MrElendig, http://pastebin.com/E5jRsbZG
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> shwaiil: what wifi chip does it use?
[15:00] <shwaiil> ActionParsnip: Atheros AR..but I can't say the model atm, not in that machine
[15:00] <shwaiil> :(
[15:00] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> MrElendig, i think my problem might lay in this msg "intel(0): Detected a hung GPU, disabling acceleration."
[15:00] <philaneous> jrib: drwxr-xr-x 4
[15:00] <shwaiil> Tks for looking! I found bugs reported on launchpad, so I think I can't do much really
[15:00] <philaneous> for the user i created
[15:00] <jrib> philaneous: you should give the whole line
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> shwaiil: we need the chip model
[15:00] <newbie|2> exit
[15:00] <shwaiil> ActionParsnip: I'll try to find it
[15:00] <MrElendig> ILOVECATSnTACOS: that would indeed be a problem
[15:00] <michealPW> shwail: Have you tried ndiswrapper as a last resort?
[15:01] <philaneous> jrib: drwxr-xr-x 10 is what i need right
[15:01] <michealPW> I'm not an expert, but I've heard of some friends who had great success with ndiswrapper. It allowed them to simply use the Windows drivers for their WiFi chip.
[15:01] <nikos> MrElendig: i read the link you sent me and i typed  "sudo ndisgtk' and i can see that neti2220 is already installed. why i havent wireless?
[15:01] <MrElendig> nikos: what does iwconfig say?
[15:01] <shwaiil> ActionParsnip: AR9462 chipset
[15:02] <shwaiil> ActionParsnip: according to one article. I do remember getting something like that on the command line
[15:02] <michealPW> How can I find this "Global Menubar Integration" extension Firefox installs with on Ubuntu?
[15:02] <nikos> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1271303/
[15:02] <michealPW> I'm curious to examine it
[15:02] <philaneous> jrib: drwxr-xr-x 4 mauriceab mauriceab 4096 Oct 10 10:40
[15:03] <jrib> philaneous: so what exactly can't you do?
[15:03] <shwaiil> ActionParsnip: I'v found a different article saying that it uses The 1102 uses the AR9382 wireless chipset
[15:03] <philaneous> jrib: i cant write to the home folder as the user i created
[15:03] <jrib> philaneous: what user?
[15:03] <nikos> i have to say that now i can see a tick before wireless but i cannot scan wireless networks
[15:03] <philaneous> jrib: for the subdomain i created
[15:03] <jrib> philaneous: what user?
[15:04] <philaneous> jrib: mauriceab
[15:04] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> MrElendig, is it a fixable problem? Or is it a hardware ssue with my GPU?
[15:04] <pun15h3r> how would you go about fixing a kernel mismatch with a nvidia driver from terminal?
[15:04] <jrib> philaneous: how are you trying to write exactly?
[15:04] <philaneous> jrib: thru ftp
[15:04] <MrElendig> ILOVECATSnTACOS: different kernel/driver version might help
[15:04] <philaneous> jrib: the only way i can write is thru terminal via sudo command
[15:04] <navin> Hello, Need hepl in Ubuntu 12.04. Unable to login to Yahoo mail, answers. able to login to Gmail.
[15:04] <pun15h3r> im debating of just doing a fresh install of crunchbang
[15:04] <philaneous> jrib: drwxr-xr-x 10 is what i need right
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> shwaiil: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/836250
[15:05] <MrElendig> philaneous: stop using the .run file from nvidia.com, use the package manager to install the driver instead
[15:05] <pun15h3r> I did
[15:05] <philaneous> MrElendig: what nvidia lol
[15:05] <pun15h3r> I used the apt-get command to update and upgrade
[15:05] <MrElendig> philaneous: and if you are running a custom kernel, build a .deb against your kernel
[15:05] <maomix> buenos dias
[15:05] <philaneous> MrElendig: no custom kernel buddy
[15:05] <jrib> philaneous: those are the same permissions.  mauriceab already has write permissions to /home/mauriceab.  You can check with « touch /home/mauriceab/test » if you want
[15:05] <maomix> u favor
[15:05] <pun15h3r> and i think my kernel was updated and screweed it up
[15:05] <jrib> !es | maomix
[15:05] <pun15h3r> I was using the recommended driver
[15:05] <MrElendig> philaneous: sorry was for pun15h3r
[15:06] <philaneous> jrib: obviously not if its not letting me write to it
[15:06] <jrib> philaneous: well what happened when you ran that touch command as mauriceab?

[15:06] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> MrElendig, or what would you recomend?
[15:06] <Calinou> using lubuntu 12.04 amd64 on a laptop with nvidia proprietary driver, how can I change screen brightness in a persistent way?
[15:07] <philaneous> jrib: it made a file

[15:09] <pun15h3r> if anyone can help please message and thank you in advance to all in the channel who have responded so far
[15:09] <philaneous> jrib: so i need to change this right to mauriceab?
[15:09] <jrib> philaneous: probably, yes

[15:11] <ActionParsnip> navin: yahoo what? Yahoo host many services
[15:11] <m000gle> Calinou: Take a look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file ... Tell me if you see this line anywhere: Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
[15:11] <nikos> MrElendig: Command "wlan0" is unknown, try "ip link help".

[15:12] <tolmun> anybody suggestion guide to setup ubuntu 12.04 for python/django, apache, ngnix, mod_wsgi?
[15:12] <senegalo> hi all ..
[15:12] <MrElendig> navin: sorry, ip link set wlan0 up
[15:13] <senegalo> exit
[15:13] <jrib> philaneous: does mauriceab have sudo ability?
[15:13] <philaneous> jrib: i dont think so because it says its not in the suoders file
[15:13] <Calinou> my xorg.conf has about 6 lines only, and it doesn't have that m000gle
[15:14] <jrib> philaneous: then you should do, chown mauriceab: ~mauriceab/public_html
[15:14] <philaneous> jrib: in my root account or in mauriceab
[15:14] <jrib> philaneous: as root or using sudo and some account that can actually sudo
[15:15] <nikos> MrElendig: No scan results. WHY?
[15:15] <philaneous> jrib: i did
[15:15] <philaneous> jrib: lets see
[15:16] <philaneous> jrib: thanks a lot man
[15:16] <jrib> philaneous: no problem
[15:16] <philaneous> jrib: its working now and i can write to it
[15:16] <m000gle> Calinou:  Hmmm, that seems a bit small.  You said you have the proprietary driver installed, though, right?  ... Try: 1) open your nVidia Xserver Settings window; 2) open the Xserver display configuration tab; and 3) hit "Save to X configuration file"
[15:16] <philaneous> jrib: makes a lot sense when i saw that the only permissions parameters were set to root
[15:17] <nikos> MrElendig: i got: No scan results. why? any idea? why cannot scan. does it need any privileges maybe?
[15:17] <MrElendig> scanning as root should work
[15:17] <MrElendig> it could ofcourse mean that there is not networks in range :p
[15:17] <MrElendig> or that ndiswrapper just fails as usual :p
[15:17] <MrElendig> check dmesg
[15:17] <m000gle> Calinou: This should create a more complete version of the file.  Then, we can go back to it, see if the line exists and add it if necessary
[15:17] <Calinou> ok, it has more lines now
[15:18] <m000gle> Ok, look for the line ... Mine was in the " Section "Device" " portion
[15:19] <nikos> there are plenty of networks as i can see from other devices (mobile phone).
[15:19] <maomix> I have a ZTE MF190 moden and not for intalacion reconose if anyone knows how to do it agradesco

[15:20] <NMAXC> Hello When I use Simple scan on ubuntu 12.04, there is no automatic email attachment to tunderbird which is my default e-mail. I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/simple-scan/+bug/515386 but apparently it still is a bug
[15:21] <maomix> I have a ZTE MF190 moden and not for intalacion reconose if anyone knows how to do it agradesco
[15:21] <TheLordOfTime> NMAXC, "Triaged" doesn't mean fixed, by the way, it means its awaiting action or a fix to be published / available
[15:21] <m000gle> Calinou: Try this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1271338/ ... The only change I have made is line 46 where I added:        Option "RegistryDwords" "EnableBrightnessControl=1"
[15:22] <Calinou> m000gle: k, and how can I disable splash screen? as soon as you save the file you have splash screen :p
[15:22] <m000gle> Calinou: It may not be a bad idea to save a backup copy of your xorg.conf file first, on the off chance this causes a problem
[15:22] <Calinou> k
[15:22] <NMAXC> TheLordOfTime  So is there anything I can do ?
[15:22] <econdudeawesome> howdy all. Say I want to find the inode of /usr/bin/java, which is the output of $which java on my machine. Is there a way to feed that directly into ls, like ls -i "which java"?
[15:23] <TheLordOfTime> NMAXC, you mean apart form checking with thunderbird upstream and asking whether or not its a thunderbird issue?
[15:23] <TJ-> econdudeawesome: "ls -i $(which java)"
[15:23] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> Im having graphics issues can somneone take a look at my xorg log and see what the dillio is?http://pastebin.com/E5jRsbZG
[15:23] <econdudeawesome> TJ-: Thanks! Exactly what I'm looking for.
[15:24] <m000gle> Calinou: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1271342/ ... Line 46 should enable brightness control, while Line 47 should remove the splash screen
[15:24] <Calinou> thanks :)
[15:24] <NMAXC> TheLordOfTime Where would I go to check with Thunderbird ? Is there a chat support ?
[15:24] <m000gle> Calinou: Good luck!  I can't guarantee it will work, but this is what did the trick for me :)
[15:25] <Calinou> made a backup before editing it
[15:25] <edasawa> francaise
[15:25] <Calinou> also, how do you get a brightness control GUI in lubuntu? do you have to install gnome-power-manager?

[15:27] <cautiousobserver> Quick question, I'm trying to configure darkstat, and when I run it "sudo darkstat -i eth0", I get an error "failed: Name or service not known: Device or resource busy"
[15:27] <econdudeawesome> How do I find the destination of a symlink?
[15:27] <m000gle> Calinou: I'm not sure about that.  However, assuming this works, it should enable brightness control in general.  So, however one would normally change brightness on LXDE should work
[15:27] <facundobatista> Hello everybody
[15:27] <Calinou> I installed xbacklight too, xbacklight -set 50 says "No outputs have backlight property"
[15:27] <Calinou> ...this is a LED screen with a backlight
[15:28] <Calinou> m000gle: you can't change brightness in xfce/lxde, no GUI for that
[15:28] <econdudeawesome> nevermind--found $readlink
[15:28] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> Im having graphics issues can somneone take a look at my xorg log and see what the dillio is?http://pastebin.com/E5jRsbZG
[15:28] <amasprillav> maomix you have to create the rules to use it with usb_modeswitch
[15:28] <cautiousobserver> econdudeawesome, do "ls -la" on the folder containing the symlink
[15:29] <m000gle> Calinou:  I find that a little hard to believe.  If that's the case, though, you will need to find someone who is more familiar with LXDE.  Unfortunately, I've never used it
[15:29] <sipior> cautiousobserver: have you tried running it via sudo? it probably needs superuser privileges to set the interface to promiscuous mode.
[15:30] <sipior> cautiousobserver: oh bloody hell, i should read better.
[15:30] <Anubis> where can i find ubuntu themes
[15:30] <cautiousobserver> The log shows it going into promiscuous mode, then immediately out
[15:30] <TheLordOfTime> ILOVECATSnTACOS, that's not very informative.  give us more details first.
[15:30] <TJ-> Calinou: What does this show: "ls /sys/class/backlight/"
[15:30] <TheLordOfTime> ILOVECATSnTACOS, such as what your actual issue is
[15:30] <cautiousobserver> It's like some other application is locking the device somehow. (I'm running it as root)
[15:30] <Calinou> acpi_video0, with several brightness_related files
[15:30] <Calinou> I guess I can edit them :P but will the settings be kept after reboot?
[15:31] <econdudeawesome> cautiousobserver: thanks! readlink worked fine. I'm trying to set up a single node Hadoop server but didnt know where my JAVA_HOME actually was.
[15:31] <cautiousobserver> np
[15:31] <econdudeawesome> cautiousobserver: ls -la will follow symlinks to their termination?
[15:31] <cautiousobserver> Well, it will display the symlinks destination folder.
[15:31] <cautiousobserver> er, directory.
[15:32] <econdudeawesome> cautiousobserver: ah, so it will show me the destination of any symlink contained within a folder?
[15:32] <cautiousobserver> Exactly
[15:32] <econdudeawesome> cautiousobserver: I'm getting the feeling symlinks are the filesystem equivalent of GOTO statements in Fortran :P ;-)
[15:32] <cautiousobserver> lol
[15:32] <cautiousobserver> Think windows shortcuts, but done right.
[15:32] <Calinou> IT WORKS, I can use end+f7 and end+f7
[15:33] <Calinou> end+f8*... thank you :D
[15:33] <econdudeawesome> cautiousobserver: but seriously--do you know how I should enter this particular variable for "JAVA_HOME" in a script? line looks like: export JAVA_HOME=${JAVA_HOME:-"/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre/bin/java"}
[15:33] <econdudeawesome> cautiousobserver: thats what I've done so far--does that look right?
[15:33] <Calinou> now to try whether it works after reboot :/
[15:34] <cautiousobserver> Unfortunately I think you may be a little over my head.
[15:34] <econdudeawesome> okay. Not a problem. Thanks for the help on the symlinks!
[15:34] <cautiousobserver> Sorry.
[15:34] <sipior> cautiousobserver: can you try running it with the --verbose and --no-promisc switches enabled?
[15:34] <cautiousobserver> Ok. 1 sec
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> can't wait to get back
[15:37] <cautiousobserver> OK, I pasted the output. Still getting the error.
[15:37] <sipior> cautiousobserver: okay, can you try running it with --no-dns as well?
[15:38] <cautiousobserver> k.
[15:38] <cautiousobserver> Same output exactly
[15:38] <cautiousobserver> I mean, different PID, but otherwise.
[15:39] <sipior> cautiousobserver: really? odd that it should still fail on getaddrinfo.
[15:39] <cautiousobserver> I thought so
[15:40] <sipior> cautiousobserver: hang on a sec. do you have something else listening on 667?
[15:40] <cautiousobserver> I'll look
[15:40] <cautiousobserver> netstat -ant shows nothing listening on that port.
[15:40] <sipior> cautiousobserver: alternatively, see if it works if you specify a different port with "-b"
[15:41]  * NoNick ..
[15:41] <cautiousobserver> ok
[15:41] <cautiousobserver> Woah, no errors.
[15:42] <cautiousobserver> Lol. How do I tell if it's working?
[15:42] <ILOVECATSnTACOS> video frame rate is very slow on my new xubuntu install 750mb ram 1.7ghz,also anything thats graphics intese is crappy.  i thinks its caused by this.. http://pastebin.com/E5jRsbZG
[15:42] <sipior> cautiousobserver: point your web browser to the port you just specified
[15:43] <cautiousobserver> Hm, no answer. checking /var/lib/darkstat
[15:43] <cautiousobserver> Nothing there.
[15:44] <cautiousobserver> It is in the process list
[15:45] <uhyaeiu> hi guys
[15:45] <sipior> cautiousobserver: sorry, of course it should be "-p", not "-b". i'll blame dyslexia. anyway, see where it's listening with netstat, and point your browser there.
