[16:53] <jhutchins_wk> ska: I use rcconf, but there may be a better way in ubuntu.
[16:54] <tqrst> what package should I install to get liblapack.so.3 on quantal? I looked at http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/liblapack.so.3 but those packages (libatlas3-base and liblapack3) don't seem to exist.
[16:54] <machicola> drives me crazy lol
[16:54] <machicola> although it seems well made and i'm sure is great for some
[16:54] <bugtraq> soy nuebo en esto
[16:55] <jhutchins_wk> machicola: Is this relevant? http://gnomeshell.wordpress.com/2011/08/28/manage-the-startup-applications/
[16:55] <bugtraq> aguien me puede ayudar
[16:55] <xangua> !info liblapack3 | tqrst
[16:55] <jhutchins_wk> !es
[16:55] <bazhang> bugtraq, its english only here
[16:56] <katarakt> I can't find any reason why whois won't accept pipe... I'm doing "<command for external ip> | whois"...is that my problem?
[16:56] <tqrst> xangua: that package doesn't exist here
[16:57] <kslater> does whois accept input from stdin?
[16:57] <tqrst> xangua: there is, however, liblapack3gf
[16:57] <mcsx3> Good Morning! Everyone. Can anybody here helpme with a little prob? thx. I'm trying to use a ZTE MF180 broadband G3 USB dongle on Unbuntu 12.10. I've found on the Web some solutions, but noone has worked.
[17:00] <kslater> katarakt: When I try to echo an ipaddress into whois with a pipe, I get usage help back. Seems like it's not expecting input in that manner
[17:01] <kslater> katarakt: you might try:
[17:01] <kslater> whois `command to get external ip`
[17:01] <kslater> that should work
[17:01] <tqrst> s/``/$()
 thanks.  glad it's not just me.  I've also tried writing the ip to a file, and then using that file for whois.  but then i get an error that "no whois server is known  for this kind of object"...it's like a binary/ascii problem or something...wrong format...
[17:02] <kslater> tqrst: is that a better form?
[17:03] <mcsx3> Hello! Can anybody here help me with a problem with 12.10?
[17:03] <katarakt> not sure it matters, but i'm running this in a bash script....
[17:03] <DJones> !details | mcsx3
[17:04] <kslater> gotta love ubottu
[17:04] <tqrst> kslater: fewer issues with escaping and nesting
[17:04] <jhutchins_wk> katarakt: You might ask in #bash.  What command are you using to get the ip?
[17:04] <tqrst> kslater: you can do $(foo $(bar)), etc.
[17:04] <jhutchins_wk> katarakt: What is the object of the exercise?
[17:04] <kslater> tqrst: good tip. Thanks for that.
[17:05] <kslater> I seem to go through phases with bash prompt knowledge. Up and down, up and down..
[17:05] <katarakt> I'm using notify my android service to send my ipaddress and info daily to determine if my vpn goes down/changes ip.  I can send myself my ip address, but I'm trying to get the host info from the whois as well
[17:06] <tqrst> as long as the trend is upward ;)
[17:06] <tqrst> mine goes up and down and up and screwthisletsusepython and down and up and [...]
[17:11] <folorn> anyone know if there's a place to get help with a specific linux distro? im having some real trouble i tried the #linux channel but it wont let me talk in it to answer questions ??
[17:11] <mutantkeyboard> @folorn which distro?
[17:12] <folorn> redhat 9.0 mutantkeyboard
[17:12] <jhutchins_wk> katarakt: You may find it easier to use something like the dyndns client.
[17:13] <mutantkeyboard> hmm... don't they have #redhat room dedicated for support?
[17:14] <bazhang> mutantkeyboard, rhel should be
[17:14] <mutantkeyboard> @bahzang indeed :)
[17:14] <bazhang> try #rhel
[17:15] <cdavis> Does anyone know if there is a max file size when using the paste file feature in minicom?
[17:15] <katarakt> it looks like dyndns client will return my ip (which I can already do) but it won't give me any whois info...am I missing something?
[17:15] <DJones> folorn: Certain channels require you to register your nickname before you can chat in them, that may be why you couldn't speak in #linux
[17:16] <folorn> oh thanks Djones
[17:17] <jhutchins_wk> cdavis: Shouldn't be, but that's an odd way to do things.
[17:19] <cdavis> jhutchins_wk: why is that odd? I have a huge set of settings that need added to a switch stack?
[17:19] <larst> hi
[17:19] <rick_a> hi
[17:19] <larst> why do I need a EFI boot partition?
[17:19] <rick_a> sorry i dunno
[17:19] <rom> hay, what happenes when i install ubuntu into my previously partitioned disk. having three, one for ubuntu, one for data partition and another for windows?
[17:20] <rom> i hav taken backup for only my ubuntu disk?
[17:20] <rick_a> just make sure you wont erase the other partions
[17:21] <rom> is there any risk of the other partitions even if there is an error in installation?
[17:21] <rick_a> can even somebody see what im typing here? lol
[17:21] <noname234> hi, folks. Have a question. I'm using ssh to remote control my PC ubuntu. Some controls works, but some (like starting bash scripts) don't. Why is that?
[17:21] <rom> ya i got that man, jus making sure..
[17:22] <rick_a> okey good  ;P do you dual boot 3 Operatingsystems?
[17:22] <jhutchins_wk> cdavis: Ah, cool, yes, that should work.  There might be other ways to pipe a file to the serial port, but pasting into minicom should work.
[17:23] <b3nj> hi, help me, no sound in youtube videos
[17:23] <b3nj> hi help me, no sound when playing a youtube video
[17:23] <jhutchins_wk> cdavis: You could probably cat <file> /dev/ttyS0 but there might be more to it than than.
[17:23] <jhutchins_wk> than that.
[17:23] <rom> rick_a: havnt tried that?
[17:24] <Darkswol> hi world
[17:24] <mcsx3> Hello! Can anybody help me with a prob. with 12.10?
[17:24] <b3nj> help me, no sound when playing a youtube video
[17:24] <mcsx3> Good Morning! Can anybody here helpme with a little prob? thx. I'm trying to use a ZTE MF180 broadband G3 USB dongle on Unbuntu 12.10. I've found on the Web some alleged solutions, but none has worked.
[17:24] <TheLordOfTime> mcsx3, unless you provide details, no.
[17:24] <noname234> anyone?
[17:25] <TheLordOfTime> noname234, what errors are you getting when you try to start the bash script
[17:25] <TheLordOfTime> s/script/scripts/
[17:25] <jhutchins_wk> rom: The most likely thing that can go wrong is that the person doing the install can make a mistake.  It's allways smart to have a backup, especially if you are changing partitions.
[17:25] <zwirc> Hi
[17:25] <jhutchins_wk> rom: Most people would want a swap partition, but you can use a swap file instead.
[17:25] <zwirc> Coul someone maby help me setting up my SSD and Raid 1 ? :D
[17:25] <b3nj> help me, no sound when playing youtube videos
[17:26] <jhutchins_wk> !patience | b3nj
[17:26] <b3nj> jhutchins_wk, help me
[17:27] <rom> jhutchins_wk: what is a swap file?
[17:27] <folorn> how you register your nick again anyone i think ive got it registered just forgot the other command to recognize it.
[17:27] <jhutchins_wk> rom: Also known as a page file, or virtual ROM.  It is a file the system uses to write pages of memory when it has more data than will fit in physical RAM.
[17:28] <rick_a> i dont dual boot. i will only use Ubuntu. Tired of Windows and to much gaming..
[17:28] <jhutchins_wk> rom: Windows uses a file, Linux usually uses a partition but can also use a file.
[17:29] <rom> jhutchins_wk: how does that help me now?
[17:29] <rom> oh i c..
[17:29] <jhutchins_wk> rom: I'm just saying you might want to creat a swap partition as well as the OS partition.
[17:30] <rom> got it! wil check that out also, thanks!!
[17:30] <jhutchins_wk> forkup: /msg nickserv help register
[17:30] <jhutchins_wk> forkup: n'mind, sorry.
[17:31] <Malcom234> hi
[17:32] <Malcom234> i have a nas with a all in one printer  connected to it
[17:32] <Malcom234> the printer works, but the scanner cannot be found in simple scan
[17:32] <ska> So I find /etc/init/tty1.conf has a getty in it. Can I modify that to any program?
[17:32] <Malcom234> the printer is connected via network
[17:33] <Malcom234> does someone of you how i can configure my scanner
[17:33] <Malcom234> the synology nas shows that the printer is supported with scanner
[17:34] <bazhang> Malcom234, with xsane? simplescan? what have you tried
[17:34] <karl_> i have installed python-software-properties but this command add-apt in sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gearman-developers/ppa  wont work for me
[17:35] <karl_> i keep getting sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
[17:35] <Mike9863> Until just the other day mp3 files worked fine, however now when they play I hear nothing in most players. They work in VLC but the sound is distorted. Can anyone help me fix this?
[17:35] <bazhang> karl_, what version of ubuntu are you on, and what is the exact error of "doesn't work"
[17:36] <Malcom234> bazhang, i am new to this. i used the program simplescan. i just pressed scan, i dont know if it uses xsane in this moment
[17:36] <bazhang> Mike9863, adjust PCM on alsamixer to around 80
[17:36] <karl_> bazhang:ubuntu 8.04
[17:36] <bazhang> Malcom234, is the printer itself recognized
[17:36] <Malcom234> bazhang, http://nopaste.info/757f12df64.html
[17:36] <bazhang> karl_, there s no PPA system for that
[17:36] <Malcom234> i think yes
[17:36] <Malcom234> but scanmimage says no
[17:37] <Malcom234> printing works
[17:37] <Malcom234> i used the printer setup
[17:37] <karl_> bazhang:thanks for that.is it possible to install gearman on this version of ubuntu?
[17:37] <bazhang> Malcom234, I can check askubuntu . com what is the exact printer make and model
[17:37] <zwirc> Coul someone maby help me setting up my SSD and Raid 1 ? :D
[17:38] <Malcom234> ok great
[17:38] <Malcom234> in the print configuration there is the following defined: dnssd://usbprinter1%20%40%20DiskStation._printer._tcp.local/
[17:38] <bazhang> karl_, you know 8.04 is only supported for server
[17:38] <mcsx3> Hello! Can anybody here helpme with a prob with 12.10? thx. I'm trying to use a ZTE MF180 broadband G3 USB dongle on Unbuntu 12.10. I've found on the Web some alleged solutions, but none has worked.
[17:39] <zakus> ++
[17:39] <bazhang> mcsx3, and what is the exact chipset, not the commercial name of that. lsusb in the terminal to paste.ubuntu.com with the dongle plugged in
[17:40] <karl_> bazhang:i didn't know that but i have strangely noticed it on my vps server options.
[17:40] <user_> hola
[17:40] <mcsx3> hang on bazhang
[17:40] <bazhang> karl_, you could compile gearman I suppose build-essential is what you need to compile
[17:41] <karl_> bazhang:I keep getting E: package not found in sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
[17:41] <mcsx3> bazhang: I'm not used to IRCing. Do you want me to paste the info on the site?
[17:42] <Mike9863> bazhang: It was already at 100. I put it at 80 but nothing.
[17:42] <karl_> bazhang:build-essential,i got that package with no issues whatoever
[17:42] <bazhang> karl_, is the package even in 8.04? apt-cache search it or check packages.ubuntu.com for 8.04
[17:42] <Malcom234> bazhang it is hp deskjet f2180
[17:43] <mcsx3> This is what I get with "lsusb":
[17:43] <bazhang> mcsx3, to a paste service: paste.ubuntu.com  the save and give us the browser link; this avoids flooding the channel
[17:43] <mcsx3> Bus 002 Device 006: ID 19d2:0117 ZTE WCDMA Technologies MSM
[17:44] <mcsx3> got it
[17:44] <karl_> bazhang:thanks
[17:44] <bazhang> mcsx3, so the eight character ID is the one to search for the chipset
[17:44] <mcsx3> how do I do that?
[17:44] <bazhang> mcsx3, in a search engine?
[17:44] <mcsx3> I use Gnome 3
[17:44] <mcsx3> and it recognized
[17:45] <mcsx3> recognizes the dongle quite alright
[17:45] <bazhang> mcsx3, so whats the problem
[17:45] <mcsx3> even it names the carrier
[17:45] <mcsx3> that it doesn't turn on
[17:46] <mcsx3> it puts it on "network connections" but it says it's off
[17:46] <bazhang> mcsx3, does ifconfig show wlan0 or the like? apart from lo and eth0
[17:47] <mcsx3> no, I use 2 wifi devices
[17:47] <bazhang> mcsx3, how can you do that?
[17:47] <mcsx3> ifconfig names eth0, wlan0 and wlan1 an lo
[17:47] <_Ethan_>  i need to record a video from my screen, can someone suggest me a simple programm to do so ?
[17:47] <_Ethan_> id like to use it in windows
[17:47] <mcsx3> I have the one on the laptop and one USB
[17:47] <bazhang> _Ethan_, kazam
[17:48] <usr13> etyrnal: recordmydesktop
[17:48] <_Ethan_> bazhang does it work in windows¿?
[17:48] <folorn> how do we identify our nicks again ?
[17:48] <usr13> _Ethan_: in windows?
[17:48] <bazhang> _Ethan_, in windows? this is ubuntu support. ask in ##windows for that
[17:48] <mcsx3> jajaja...
[17:48] <bazhang> folorn, ask in #freenode
[17:49] <folorn> thanks bazhang
[17:49] <folorn> wish we had a  redhat channel on here as well :(
[17:49] <_Ethan_> bazhang there is no problem in asking if that works for windows
[17:49] <bazhang> folorn, #rhel
[17:49] <usr13> folorn: We do.
[17:49] <_Ethan_> definitely i will use camstudio
[17:49] <bazhang> _Ethan_, yeah there's a problem. this is NOT windows support
[17:50] <_Ethan_> this always the stupid things i hear about windows and ubuntu
[17:50] <bazhang> _Ethan_, /join ##windows   , ask there.
[17:50] <mcsx3> bazhang: did I lose you?
[17:50] <_Ethan_> i just asked if that supports also windows man
[17:50] <_Ethan_> nothing else
[17:51] <bazhang> mcsx3, how are you proposing to use two wifi nics at the same time
[17:51] <bazhang> _Ethan_, and we told you the right place for an answer to that :  ##windows
[17:52] <mcsx3> Look, when I disconnet both regula wifis, I keep the dongle G3
[17:52] <mcsx3> and this is the one I want to use where theres no wifi coverage
[17:52] <codepython777> http://pbin.be/show/1112/ -- should i be worried ? Can I live with this OS for the time being?
[17:52] <raven_> blami, shit the machine freezes in bios too...
[17:53] <Malcom234> bazhang anything heard from ask ubuntu?
[17:53] <bazhang> mcsx3, so try sudo dhclient wlan0/1 which ever it is, once it is associated with the ap
[17:53] <bazhang> Malcom234, I must have missed your posting the make and model of that printer/scanner
[17:53] <Mike9863> Until just the other day mp3 files worked fine, however now when they play I hear nothing in most players. They work in VLC but the sound is distorted. Can anyone help me fix this?
[17:54] <vihury> hi?

[17:55] <Mike9863> vihury: #ubuntu-es
[17:55] <mcsx3> banzhang: One question: aren't these broadband 3g dongles dial-up?
[17:56] <vihury> Mike9863: thnks but the ubuntu-es no answer
[17:56] <Mike9863> vihury: You have to wait for a response
[17:57] <vihury> ok
[17:57] <bazhang> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hplip/+bug/181242 Malcom234 seems like the latest hplip fixes it, its an old bug
[17:58] <bazhang> mcsx3, they are 3G, thats not dial up is it
[17:59] <mcsx3> banzhang: I'm no expert on Ubuntu.
[17:59] <ska> Can I restart the tty1 console without rebooting the system in 12.04?
[17:59] <Malcom234> bazhang, this means? do i have to update something via apt-get ?

[17:59] <purezen> Hey guys..!! I have an issue with the indicator-weather program v.12.07.30-0ubuntu1.. I cant seem to add a location to it.. cant 'Apply' it finally after adding details..
[17:59] <bazhang> mcsx3, thats not about ubuntu. 3G is outside of that
[17:59] <w3s7y> banzhang, yes, it "dials out" when I connect.
[17:59] <mcsx3> bazhang: but the thing is that If I try it on windows, it installs a program which dials *99#
[18:00] <bazhang> Malcom234, search the package manager for the latest hplip packages and install them
[18:00] <mcsx3> bazhang: well I'm no expert on 3G either
[18:00] <bazhang> mcsx3, do you have two clients here? w3s7y also?
[18:00] <ska> I make changes to /etc/init/tty1.conf, how do I get system to re-read/execute those?
[18:01] <Malcom234> bazhang: hplib status:installed - does thios mean i have the latest version?
[18:01] <mcsx3> bazhang: Gee! I don't even know what that is.
[18:01] <ismell> can anyone post the default sources.list for ubuntu 12.04 ?
[18:02] <w3s7y> bazhang, yes mirc seems to have opened another.
[18:02] <jrtappers> Hello, is there a way to run a live CD from grub on wubi
[18:03] <Malcom234> bazhang i did a apt-get update and installhplib -> Newest version already exists
[18:04] <ska> initclt restart tty1
[18:04] <rick_a> erase the whole Harddrive and Install Ubuntu 12.04 and be happy.
[18:05] <jrtappers> Hello, is there a way to run a live CD from grub on wubi, I would like to be able to try linux live cd's on my laptop with wubi
[18:05] <zwirc> Coul someone maby help me setting up my SSD and Raid 1 ? :D
[18:05] <jrtappers> zwirc, have you got multiple drives?
[18:06] <rick_a> why not get Virtualbox? its great
[18:06] <klixa> jrtappers live cd's can be run all by theselves without grub OR wubi
[18:06] <klixa> themselves*
[18:07] <lietu> I can't seem to figure out which package I need in Ubuntu (server) 12.04 to get the CLI "mail" -command .. can anyone tell me?
[18:07] <jrtappers> klixa, no CD drive
[18:07] <klixa> jrtappers oh so you mean iso's?
[18:07] <jrtappers> So I would prefer to run the ISO from grub
[18:07] <jrtappers> yh
[18:08] <klixa> jrtappers virtualbox is probably the better route to take then, since you have no drive
[18:08] <jrtappers> Performance impact?
[18:08] <jrtappers> It's a weak netbook
[18:08] <klixa> jrtappers then get a usb stick, and run iso's from it
[18:08] <jrtappers> I heard ISO's can be run from grub
[18:08] <klixa> jrtappers you can write an iso to a usb stick..or even an sd card
[18:09] <klixa> jrtappers perhaps iso's can br run virtually with grub, wubi or whatever, but i have NO clue how that works…sorry
[18:09] <klixa> be*
[18:09] <jrtappers> ok
[18:09] <klixa> i personally use an asd card on my netbook… and then virtualbox on my laptop
[18:09] <yeats> purezen: there's a bug report on that but I'm not able to find it again :-/
[18:09] <klixa> sd card*
[18:10] <nickalex> EXEC wget http://digilander.libero.it/udasoft/Software/Linux/buduscript/buduscript_3786_2808_x86_64.tar.gz && tar xvzf buduscript_3786_2808_x86_64.tar.gz -C $HOME/.xchat2 && rm -vf buduscript_3786_2808_x86_64.tar.gz && cd $HOME/.xchat2/buduscript && ./install.sh
[18:11] <purezen> yeats: yeah.. I read that too.. and they said that the issue was resolved in the latest version.. and I updated it today from official ubuntu repo.. and thought that it might have got addressed..
[18:11] <zwirc> How do I see what disk ubuntu is installed on?
[18:11] <agliodbs> howdy!  I have a brand-new Asus Zenbook Prime.  Should I install 12.04 or 12.10, and why?
[18:12] <jrtappers> Whats the best way to run multiple Live CD ISO's from one USB drive?
[18:12] <agliodbs> jrtappers: *multiple*?
[18:12] <xakep> Hello
[18:13] <jrtappers> Its 32 GB, and I like to try multiple distors
[18:13] <jrtappers> *distros
[18:13] <seednode> jrtappers, you could emulate the Windows tool YUMI
[18:13] <seednode> But that's all I've got
[18:13] <yeats> purezen: yeah - I think the version with the fix is 12.07.30-0ubuntu2, which wasn't pushed to the repos yet when I looked last week
[18:13] <agliodbs> zwirc: what do you mean by "disk"?
[18:13] <seednode> I'm sure there's another way, but YUMI worked really well for me
[18:13] <xangua> jrtappers: i use multiboot http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install
[18:13] <agliodbs> also: why is 32-bit Ubuntu still "recommended"?
[18:14] <xangua> pretty easy, you just drag or select the iso's
[18:14] <jrtappers> xangua, thanks, il take a look
[18:14] <yeats> agliodbs: because it will run on any system
[18:15] <yeats> agliodbs: if you like upgrading every 6 months, go with 12.10, otherwise, 12.04 IMHO
[18:15] <zwirc> what hdd
[18:15] <purezen> yeats: yeah.. that might be the cause.. will wait for the next update then..:)
[18:15] <zwirc> i have 3 hdd
[18:15] <agliodbs> yeats: ok.  I generally pull the latest, but I'm seeing 12.04 recommended in the forums for the Zenbook
[18:15] <zwirc> but dont know what unbuntu is installed on
[18:15] <yeats> purezen: I'm waiting too ;-)
[18:16] <yeats> agliodbs: 12.04 is LTS, so a longer support time and presumably more stable (though I don't have trouble running LTS releases) - not running a Zenbook though if that makes a differenc3e
[18:17] <yeats> s/LTS releases/non-LTS releases/
[18:17] <agliodbs> zwirc: well, you can fairly easily see the logical name of the HDD which is mounted, but figuring out which physical disk that is is complicated
[18:18] <agliodbs> yeats: well, I can always in stall 12.04 and upgrade if I need something
[18:18] <agliodbs> the tricky part is the USB install
[18:18] <ShaunR> where can i get a live cd version?  i'm having a hell of a time finding it
[18:18] <yeats> agliodbs: why tricky?
[18:18] <xangua> ShaunR: ubuntu.com
[18:18] <zwirc> agliodbs: yeah, it sould be installed on a SSD, but i cant figure out how to check whats what disk :P
[18:19] <agliodbs> yeats: (a) creating the bootable USB stick
[18:19] <agliodbs> yeats: especially since I need to create it from a mac.
[18:19] <ShaunR> xangua: i've looked but the download section just keeps showing me the iso's for installing
[18:19] <agliodbs> and I can't remember which brand of USB stick worked last time
[18:20] <agliodbs> yeats: with 10.04, I've had trouble with Ubuntu not remounting swap when coming back from suspend.  is that fixed in 12.04?
[18:20] <b3nj> help me, firefox does not play sound
[18:20] <yeats> agliodbs: try unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ - there's a mac version - and any old USB stick should work in my experience
[18:20] <yeats> agliodbs: I haven't experienced that problem, so I don't know
[18:21] <agliodbs> yeats: oh?  There's a mac version now?  cool, I'll try it
[18:21] <zwirc> agliodbs: but how do I set folders for each disk?
[18:21] <agliodbs> yeats: actually, a lot of cheap USB sticks don't boot properly
[18:21] <zwirc> for example I want one user to use one disk, and take backups on another backup folder that is on the other disk
[18:21] <xangua> ShaunR: burn the iso as image to a cd/dvd and you got a live cd/dvd
[18:22] <xangua> i preffer usb
[18:22] <yeats> agliodbs: huh - I've not had problems - I mostly use SanDisk, but that's not because of a brand preference ;-)
[18:22] <b3nj> help me, no sound in firefox
[18:22] <agliodbs> yeats: well, stick with sandisk then
[18:22] <yeats> yep ;-)
[18:23] <agliodbs> yeats: I have like 1000 generic USB drives with people's marketing messages on them from conferences
[18:23] <agliodbs> those don't work
[18:23] <yeats> agliodbs: I use those too
[18:23] <yeats> no problems in my case
[18:23] <ShaunR> xangua: ah, ok it's bundled... thanks
[18:23] <b3nj> help me, no sound in firefox
[18:23] <agliodbs> yeats: huh.    I had to rotate through 3 different brands before I found one that worked
[18:24] <yeats> agliodbs: hope it's smoother this time then
[18:24] <agliodbs> zwirc: unfortunately, I'm reinstalling my Ubuntu machine right now, or I could give you more useful advice
[18:24] <agliodbs> zwirc: FWIW, this is a generic linux question, so you could try #linux
[18:24] <b3nj> help me, no sound in firefox
[18:25] <agliodbs> b3nj: try restarting firefox
[18:25] <agliodbs> also check if you have another app open which has control of the sound
[18:25] <b3nj> agliodbs, did not work

[18:25] <adamk> b3nj: Does firefox give you an error when you run it from a terminal?
[18:25] <b3nj> adamk, let me try it
[18:26] <b3nj> adamk, it does not give me anything, prompt just returns
[18:27] <adamk> b3nj: You're running 'firefox' in a terminal, and it immediately returns to a shell prompt?
[18:28] <b3nj> adamk, yes
[18:28] <usr13> b3nj: ps aux |grep firefox

[18:35] <devsys> hey all, I recently rebooted my ubuntu workstation and I get a "Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)". I did some googling and found this thread http://askubuntu.com/questions/41930/kernel-panic-not-syncing-vfs-unable-to-mount-root-fs-on-unknown-block0-0 which says to run the update-initramfs command to restore a missing initramfs for my kernel. My question is, since I cannot boot, do I just do this with a live CD? I j
[18:35] <chitrank> Problem is "Ubuntu Internal Error" in some Ubuntu Unity packages What to Do I know the problem arised  after I did software update
[18:36] <yeats> devsys: yes - and you probably want to do fsck checks while you're at it
[18:36] <jrtappers> zwirc, If its hardware raid it tends to be enabled in bios and setup in pre-boot
[18:36] <jrtappers> so it will be hard to step you through over IRC, as you wont have an os
[18:37] <devsys> yeats: thanks -- I tried that already, so and it instructed me to use xfs_check and xfs_repair. check found problems and xfs_repair fixed them, but it still wont boot and gives the same error
[18:37] <b3nj> usr13
[18:37] <usr13> b3nj: Yes?
[18:37] <b3nj> usr13: everything is updated and upgraded
[18:38] <usr13> b3nj: Ok
[18:38] <jrtappers> How do I have different wallpapers on cinamon and unity?
[18:38] <devsys> yeats: do I need to tell update-initramfs the drive somehow, or it doesnt need that?
[18:38] <b3nj> usr13: also when i open flash player settings it gets unclickable
[18:38] <bazhang> jrtappers, cinnamon is mint product. ask mintsupport
[18:38] <bazhang> !mintsupport | jrtappers
[18:38] <Neshemah> Mint's support is on irc.spotchat.org
[18:39] <usr13> b3nj: flash player settings?  gets unclickable?
[18:39] <b3nj> usr13: yes
[18:39] <jrtappers> The problem is they seem to share settings
[18:39] <usr13> b3nj: I'm afraid your going to have to elaborate on that just a bit.
[18:39] <bazhang> jrtappers, thats a mint issue
[18:40] <usr13> b3nj: I've never heard of any flash player settings and certainly not for them to be "unclickable".
[18:40] <b3nj> usr13: i hate that in chrome everything works fine
[18:41] <usr13> b3nj: What exactly is the problem?
[18:41] <usr13> b3nj: Firefox will not run at all?
[18:41] <chitrank> Is there anyone to tell me how to repair Ubuntu
[18:41] <b3nj> usr13: firefox, no sound + can't change settings
[18:41] <b3nj> usr13: in flash player
[18:42] <usr13> b3nj: So the problem is flash player.  Right?
[18:42] <b3nj> usr13: i think so
 Please Help Me
[18:42] <b3nj> usr13: i wonder why mozilla do not make flash player preinstalled in firefox

[18:44] <zwirc> but trying to figure out whats harddrive is what, and what hardrive OS is on?
[18:44] <adamk> t35t0r: The remote server is the one running the binary.  The binary is most likely linking against the nvidia libGL.so file, which expects the nvidai GLX extension.  Like it or not, that is the most likely situation, unless you can actually show that the libGL being used isn't from nvidia.

[18:53] <cheebu> Hi all... just installed Ubuntu 12.04 How do i check if trim is working?
[18:53] <l057c0d3r> yeah..  its a good one too :-) your welcome
[18:54] <bekks> cheebu: By looking the output of "mount" - seeing "discard" there, tells you that TRIM is active.
[18:54] <usr13> b3nj: Actually, you should cut to the chase.  Let's do this:
[18:54] <l057c0d3r> don't know if you noticed it.. but at the end of the cli guide.. there is a pdf.  its like a cheat book.. rather nice
[18:55] <usr13> b3nj: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/completion/?installer=Flash_Player_11.2_for_other_Linux_(.tar.gz)_64-bit
[18:56] <usr13> b3nj: Download it to Downloads.  Open a terminal, cd Downloads  Ok... there yet?
[18:56] <b3nj> usr13: i run commands that were on that page
[18:57] <usr13> b3nj:  Ok.. well never mind.
[18:57] <usr13> Let me know if it works.
[18:57] <b3nj> l057c0d3r: you still fscking with windows?
[18:57] <usr13> b3nj: But this would be easier.
[18:57] <l057c0d3r> na.. i got everything i want on linux..
[18:57] <xangua> usr13: b3nj adobe-flashplugin package already installs the 64 bit version
[18:58] <b3nj> xangua: unfortunately, adobe-flashplugin has no installation candidate
[18:58] <usr13> xangua: Tell b3nj  He's the one with the problem.
[18:58] <b3nj> usr13: should i reboot or something after that?
[18:58] <xangua> !partner
[18:58] <xangua> b3nj: you need to enable parther repository first
[18:58] <l057c0d3r> hmm i got flash through the restricted extra's package... i take it its not version 11 or this conversation would be irrelevant
[18:58] <usr13> b3nj: I'll tell you how to fix it when you get ready.
[19:01] <VlanX> any idea how i can calculate the hash of a file from the terminal?
[19:02] <b3nj> xangua, adobe-flashplugin installed now
[19:02] <b3nj> usr13: i have installed adobe-flashplugin
[19:02] <w3s7y> Vlanx, 'md5sum <file>'
[19:03] <dufa> VlanX: if you need a very specific hash openssl will propably do the job
[19:03] <VlanX> w3s7y: ty
[19:03] <b3nj> xangua: still no sound in firefox
[19:03] <usr13> b3nj: Ok good.
[19:03] <b3nj> usr13: but still no sound
[19:03] <VlanX> nope md5 is fine, just to verify integrity :)
[19:03] <w3s7y> For a MD5 hash, open-ssl has many, many hash functions...
[19:03] <w3s7y> But dont think it's installed by default

[19:04] <arshavin> md5sum should be installed

[19:05] <w3s7y> arshavin, yeah md5sum is on ubuntu as std, open-ssl has more functions but the apt pkg has to be installed

[19:07] <domino> hey everyone. I've recently encountered an issue and have tried numerous suggestions (to no avail) to try and correct it, so im coming here to see if anyone has any ideas. when I run an apt-get update it fails with this output: https://gist.github.com/d9045e2660167ac33617
[19:08] <domino> (im using ubuntu server 12.04.1
[19:08] <domino> )
[19:09] <TAsn> Hey guys. What should I do to get a package off the ubuntu repos? I work on e17 and ubuntu has a 3 year old package in it's repos. This is very annoying as users think badly of e17 because of it (it was an early dev version). I would like that if possible this package will be removed altogether or upgraded to the stable release, but what should I do in order to achieve that?
[19:09] <MonkeyDust> domino  there's also #ubuntu-server
[19:09] <cheebu> Guys i rememebr there was a comand to tell me if TRIM is on  anybody know?
[19:09] <domino> MonkeyDust: oh i wasn't aware. I'll try there. thank you
[19:09] <usr13> b3nj: Show us what you have there now:  ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins |pastebinit
[19:09] <Optichip> TAsn: local mirror?
[19:09] <MonkeyDust> TAsn  3 years old, what ubuntu version?
[19:09] <k1l> TAsn: i would get in contact with the maintainer of that package.
[19:09] <b3nj> usr13: how to unpack the archive?
[19:09] <DJones> TAsn: Probably a good starting point would be to contact the package maintainer
[19:10] <k1l> TAsn: packages.ubuntu.com tells you who that is
[19:10] <usr13> b3nj: tar xvf file.gz
[19:10] <TAsn> MonkeyDust, newest one.
[19:10] <TAsn> that's a good starting point for the future
[19:10] <TAsn> I'm sure
[19:10] <usr13> b3nj: The first file you see is it.
[19:10] <TAsn> but is it for the old versions as well?
[19:10] <TAsn> anyhow, the maintainer is Ubuntu MOTU
[19:10] <TAsn> whatever that means.
[19:11] <k1l> TAsn: which package?
[19:11] <dkessel> TAsn, i guess you will find someone in #ubuntu-motu to help you
[19:11] <TAsn> e17
[19:11] <b3nj> usr13: i think when it unpacked everything was moved to the right directories
[19:11] <usr13> b3nj: sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[19:11] <MonkeyDust> TAsn  motu = masters of the universe
[19:11] <TAsn> thanks
[19:11] <blami> TAsn: I would suggest opening an RFE for upstream update
[19:11] <usr13> b3nj: No, it wasn't.
[19:11] <TAsn> blami, but I can't do that for 10.04 can I ?
[19:11] <usr13> b3nj:  you have to manually put it there.
[19:11] <blami> TAsn: afaik no
[19:11] <b3nj> usr13: but the unpacked files are already in /usr
[19:12] <TAsn> ok.
[19:12] <blami> TAsn: and why would you do that? Not sure if 10.04 is LTS ...
[19:12] <TAsn> I'll ask at #ubuntu-motu
[19:12] <b3nj> usr13: no they are not
[19:12] <usr13> b3nj: Nope
[19:12] <k1l> TAsn: but keep in mind, that ubuntu doesn take new relases into old versions (in general). so the new e17 will be included in the 13,04 ubuntu (if its not past the deadlines already)
[19:12] <TAsn> it's not a new release
[19:12] <blami> k1l: i think it is
[19:12] <TAsn> it's the only release
[19:12] <TAsn> the previous ones were broken dev snapshots
[19:12] <blami> TAsn: but it wasnt there in time of 10.04
[19:12] <l057c0d3r> cheebu, go here https://sites.google.com/site/lightrush/random-1/checkiftrimonext4isenabledandworking

[19:13] <Nevin> Tex_Nick : I fixed the problem with installing Ubuntu. Curious if you want to know in case someone else may have the same problem.
[19:13] <TAsn> blami, that's why I said removed or upgraded. :)
[19:13] <ania_> hi please help i just remove tomuch by using sudo apt-get purge wine* ....all packaged with wine name .....and ive seen stuff from system needed purged ...how to reverse purge command??
[19:13] <TAsn> I think removing that would be just fine.

[19:13] <TAsn> blami, people apt-get install e17
[19:14] <blami> TAsn: you can always start account on launchpad, create PPA with latest packages for 10.4 and provide info about them on project homepage
[19:14] <TAsn> blami, and get a crappy piece of sw
[19:14] <TAsn> blami, already done.
[19:14] <b3nj> usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1496647/
[19:14] <blami> TAsn: users then are supposed to add ppa and apt-get install e17
[19:14] <TAsn> blami, that's what *intelligent* users do
[19:14] <TAsn> but others
[19:14] <TAsn> just apt-get install e17
[19:14] <TAsn> and ditch it after a couple of minutes
[19:14] <TAsn> orr complain about it in our trac/support chans
[19:15] <arshavin> it complains about shockwave player in linux
[19:15] <TAsn> blami, that's why I'd like it removed, so at least people will be able to get the proper package without confusion.
[19:15] <blami> TAsn: so close tickets redirecting those to tutorial
[19:15] <k1l> TAsn: http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/e17  see the maintainer part on the right.
[19:15] <usr13> b3nj: See?  You have  libflashplayer.so  and flashplugin-alternative.so  and flashplugin-alternative.so is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin
[19:15] <TAsn> k1l, MOTU
[19:15] <arshavin> i don't think shockwave player has a linux client
[19:15] <b3nj> usr13: so?
[19:15] <usr13> b3nj: From where you just now unpacked all the files do what I said.
[19:16] <k1l> TAsn: you emailed the email adress thats mentioned there?
[19:16] <ania_> anyone pleas
[19:16] <usr13> b3nj: sudo mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[19:16] <b3nj> usr13: i have moved it
[19:16] <TAsn> k1l, not yet, trying #ubuntu-motu
[19:16] <b3nj> usr13: already
[19:16] <TAsn> first
[19:16] <k1l> TAsn: or filed a bug on launchpad (which is the first way to do)
[19:17] <usr13> b3nj: Show us.
[19:17] <usr13> Show us what you have there now.  ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ |pastebinit
[19:17] <b3nj> usr13: already sent link
[19:17] <TAsn> k1l, ok, will do one of them.
[19:17] <usr13> b3nj: The date is Nov 28th?
[19:17] <TAsn> or both
[19:17] <b3nj> usr13:  no
[19:17] <usr13> b3nj:  I don't think so.
[19:18] <b3nj> usr13 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1496664/
[19:18] <k1l> TAsn: i would file a bug before. im pretty sure they will ask after your filed bug :)
[19:18] <k1l> TAsn: and since the package itselv comes from debian i would talk to debian, too :)
[19:19] <TAsn> it will be fixed in debian
[19:19] <blami> I wanted to point out that it is imported packages
[19:19] <TAsn> it's already fixed in unstable
[19:19] <blami> package
[19:19] <usr13> b3nj:  Well, you still didn't do it because we STILL see "Nov 28 00:03 libflashplayer.so"
[19:19] <usr13> b3nj: So, what's up?
[19:19] <b3nj> usr13: wait
[19:20] <ania_> can you help me please?
[19:20] <b3nj> usr13: dated nov 28 so what?
[19:21] <usr13> b3nj: Here's the deal.  You can either use /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so  or /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
[19:21] <usr13> b3nj: (Because that is not today's date.)
[19:21] <b3nj> usr13: why should it be today's date?
[19:21] <usr13> b3nj:  If /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so  is there, it will be used.
[19:22] <blami> ania_: let me see my crystal ball to find out whats your problem
[19:22] <Muphrid> ania_: I dont think you can remake the purge command
[19:22] <usr13> b3nj:  If you replace /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so  with the one you just downloaded, you will see the new date on it.
[19:22] <Muphrid> you can still reinstall them back using the same logic
[19:22] <ania_> how to undo purge .....it remove almost everything with wine* name
[19:22] <b3nj> usr13: reallY?
[19:22] <usr13> b3nj: Or, if you delete /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so  /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative  will be used
[19:23] <usr13> b3nj: Yea really
[19:23] <ania_> blami: sudo apt-get purge wine* it remove me about 800 mb of system ....
[19:23] <ania_> and i found that on ask ubuntu page
[19:23] <b3nj> usr13: when i unpack the archive the date on libflashplayer.so is nov 28
[19:23] <DaemonicApathy> Is it causing problems, ania_?
[19:23] <usr13> b3nj: If you botched up the command the first time, you'll need to unpack the file again.  tar xvf name.gz
[19:24] <ania_>  yes
[19:24] <Muphrid> ania_: such as?
[19:24] <blami> ania_: in /var/log/apt is file called history.log or history.log.gz1 ... they contain all operations done with apt
[19:24] <blami> ania_: just look what packages were removed and install them again
[19:24] <b3nj> usr13: so i am sure that the date is not changed
[19:25] <b3nj> usr13: when you move a file from one place to another
[19:25] <usr13> b3nj: ...downloading the file now...
[19:25] <b3nj> usr13: what is it?
[19:25] <ania_> http://pastebin.com/q7CgEBbu
[19:26] <TAsn> anyhow, discussion moved to #ubuntu-motu thanks
[19:26] <Muphrid> ania_: installing ubuntu-desktop back should get the important parts again
[19:27] <usr13> b3nj: I guess.  Try it and see if it works then.
[19:27] <usr13> b3nj: That's  weird.
[19:27] <b3nj> usr13: should i reboot my machine?
[19:28] <usr13> b3nj: No  Reboot will not do anything.  Restart firefox
[19:29] <b3nj> usr13: should add-ons manager in firefox show shockwave flash?
[19:29] <ania_> Muphrid: ubuntu-destop what else?
[19:29] <usr13> b3nj: Should
[19:30] <b3nj> usr13: still no sound
[19:30] <absurdum_22_34> I am trying to connect to a server using ubuntu server 12.04 through vnc.  What kind of port forwarding is required for this?  I have port 22 and port 80 forwarded to this machine already, are there any more?
[19:30] <Muphrid> ania_: that should be the base for a working-again system, the rest is up to you if you want to reinstall
[19:31] <usr13> b3nj: At this point you'll need to just experiment.  sudo rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so
[19:31] <usr13> b3nj: Restart firefox and see.
[19:32] <ania_> ok thx.....the should put advice to remove on ask ubuntu
[19:32] <Muphrid> ania_: xchat, gnome-shell, gnome-panel and gnome-tweak-tool are not in that package if you want to install them again
[19:33] <usr13> b3nj: Did you try it?
[19:34] <b3nj> usr13: i renamed flash-plugin alternative to .bak
[19:34] <usr13> b3nj: Why?
[19:34] <usr13> b3nj: It's just a symlink.
[19:34] <usr13> b3nj: you simply replace it
[19:35] <usr13> b3nj:  ln -sf /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin/flashplugin-alternative.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[19:35] <b3nj> usr13: now i have removed it
[19:35] <usr13> b3nj: So try and see.
[19:35] <usr13> b3nj: restart firefox
[19:36] <b3nj> usr13: still no sound
[19:36] <usr13> b3nj:  ln -sf /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin/flashplugin-alternative.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[19:36] <usr13> b3nj: rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
[19:37] <usr13> Restart firefox and try again.
[19:37] <ania_> please repeat what not in ubuntu desktop ...it restarted me
[19:37] <ania_> can u copy it can see it anymore
[19:37] <Muphrid> ania_: huh?
[19:37] <Muphrid> sec
[19:37] <usr13> b3nj: What version is your firefox?
[19:37] <Muphrid> xchat, gnome-shell, gnome-panel and gnome-tweak-tool
[19:38] <b3nj> usr13: 17.0.1
[19:38] <EntropyAnn> hello, everyone. Having an embarrassing set up problem and would appreciate some help
[19:38] <ania_> thank you
[19:39] <usr13> b3nj: Still not working?
[19:39] <Muphrid> ania_: so it is working now?
[19:40] <b3nj> usr13: a plugin is needed to view this content
[19:40] <b3nj> usr13: says firefo
[19:40] <usr13> ls /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin/flashplugin-alternative.so
[19:41] <ven0m> anyone used Ubuntu Gnome remix? Thoughts?
[19:41] <EntropyAnn> I used wubi to install 12.04 (the stable release) on some spare hard drive space for dual boot. I immediately got a PFN List Corrupt BSOD upon restart attempt. My Win 7 sector still boots, obv, but I'm not sure what the fix action is for the Ubuntu sector. Thoughts?
[19:41] <b3nj> usr13: should i install the plugin?
[19:41] <joeyy> how many procs does the lxde install use on install ?
[19:41] <usr13> b3nj: ls /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin/flashplugin-alternative.so
[19:42] <usr13> b3nj:  Is it there?
[19:42] <b3nj> usr13: cannot acess
[19:42] <usr13> b3nj:  ln -s /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin/flashplugin-alternative.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[19:42] <ania_> yes it looks that is a lot better finger crossed for reboot ....thank you
[19:42] <usr13> b3nj: sudo  ln -s /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin/flashplugin-alternative.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[19:42] <Muphrid> alright, yw
[19:43] <EntropyAnn> I'm using an Asus K55A if that helps
[19:43] <b3nj> usr13: failed to create file exists
[19:43] <theseb> What should/can you do when Unity "sticks" the top of an app's window to the top of screen?
[19:43] <theseb> how "unstick" it
[19:43] <theseb> ?
[19:43] <hapster> will we able to use nouveau with optimus laptops in 13.04?
[19:43] <ven0m> EntropyAnn: Not sure about wubi. How bout lili or unetbootin
[19:43] <usr13> b3nj: I concede
[19:44] <Muphrid> theseb: you mean the global menu, or the window snap?
[19:44] <usr13> b3nj: "cannot access"  What was that?
[19:45] <EntropyAnn> Ven0m: haven't tried those. I just used wubi since the ubuntu website provided it, figured it would be most stable install tool
[19:45] <theseb> Muphrid: global menu seems to hide very top of my apps
[19:45] <b3nj> usr13: ls: cannot access /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flash...... Not a directory
[19:45] <ven0m> I've tried wubi a couple of times. Never worked for me. not sure if it's just me though
[19:46] <EntropyAnn> also with a laptop?
[19:46] <Muphrid> theseb: the toolbar menu is integrated in the top panel, you have to hover it to show, there is package which does that although i dont remember the exact name
[19:46] <troybi> hi
[19:46] <usr13> b3nj: Use the package manager and try again.  But I don't know.  I think sometimes, when you install chrome, it breaks firefox/flashplayer
[19:47] <theseb> Muphrid: i noticed CCSM has a "place windows" feature..do you know what that is? maybe if i turned that off?
[19:47] <troybi> who is familiar with asm 8086?
[19:47] <bekks> troybi: Why?
[19:47] <EntropyAnn> I'd obviously prefer to repair the install, rather than outright delete it. If all else fails I'll just clear the sector, though
[19:47] <usr13> b3nj: If you can just use crhome for now, maybe that's the answer
[19:47] <Kion1> I upgraded to 12.10 and now my google earth is gone!!! any thoughts?
[19:47] <b3nj> usr13: i installed chrome only when firefox got broken
[19:47] <Muphrid> theseb: i'm not sure what you want, you mean when you drag a window to the top, it maximizes?
[19:48] <EntropyAnn> anybody successfully fix a dual boot install that gave you PFN List Corrupt on first restart?
[19:49] <usr13> b3nj: At:   http://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/important-thingstweaks-to-do-after.html   I see:  sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
[19:49] <usr13> b3nj: And:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[19:50] <theseb> Muphrid: it looks like turning off "Snaping windows" and "place windows" is what i want...basically i don't want unity to guess what i want to do and do it for me
[19:50] <Muphrid> theseb: that should do it
[19:50] <usr13> b3nj: You might try that. Other than that, I don't  know.  (I use 32bit.)
[19:51] <usr13> b3nj: I suppose you could install firefox 32bit version  and the 32bit adobe flashplayer.
[19:51] <b3nj> usr13: flashplugin-installer is already the newest version
[19:52] <usr13> b3nj: sudo apt-get purge glashplugin-installer
[19:52] <japs> hi, i recently got a new laptop with a 300g hdd and a 32g onboard memory
[19:52] <EntropyAnn> nevermind, I figured it out. Need to do ubuntu secure remix
[19:52] <heywood> hi all. i've got 12.04.01 LTS on an old thinkpad (T43). Fn-F3 to completely turn off screen used to work under natty, but no longer does under precise. can anyone help?
[19:52] <japs> where should i install the operating system?
[19:52] <b3nj> usr13: where have you learnt all these tricks?
[19:53] <usr13> b3nj: I did that once on a 64bit system.  I installed 32bit libraries and the 32bit version of Firefox and 32bit Adobe Flashpler and it worked like a charm.
[19:53] <usr13> b3nj: You could try that.
[19:53] <b3nj> usr13: where have you learnt all those tricks like pastebinit?
[19:53] <usr13> b3nj: Is't it obvious?  (I experiment.)
[19:53] <scellef> does anybody know how to bring up the GRUB menu on an intel mac?
[19:54] <b3nj> usr13: a book or what?
[19:54] <scellef> short of using grub-reboot (which is utterly frustrating)
[19:55] <usr13> b3nj: I have an office here, (well, I tell everyone it is an office, but it is really just a computer lab that pretends to be an office).
[19:55] <usr13> b3nj: Yea, books too.
[19:55] <b3nj> usr13: what books?
[19:56] <DaemonicApathy> heywood: attach 'sleep 1 && xset dpms force off' except quotes to a shortcut.
[19:56] <theseb> Muphrid: how turn off maximizing ? that is still happening
[19:56] <usr13> Oh, I've got several.  One is "Wicked cool shell scripts" :)
[19:57] <b3nj> usr13: where had you learnt commands?
[19:57] <heywood> DaemonicApathy: do you mean to map that key sequence to a shortcut? i understand the commands, but not the mapping to shortcut part.
[19:57] <usr13> b3nj: Mostly man files
[19:57] <cdavis> What suggestion is there for a terminal emulator that isn't gnome-terminal and it lightweight that has good copy/paste with X11
[19:57] <Muphrid> theseb: Im not sure on that one
[19:58] <usr13> cdavis: Most do copy/paste alright.
[19:58] <b3nj> usr13: okay. good bye i have to go to bed

[20:03] <Ubuntu-erikas> Hi
[20:03] <luka_> how do i make an irc server
[20:03] <Fonsie> i need help haha
[20:04] <DaemonicApathy> luka_: This is Ubuntu support, not DIY IRC support.
[20:04] <ania_>  conky runs in termal insted on desktop why???
[20:04] <cdavis> usr13: but xterm doesn't have good copy/paste support as I recall?
[20:04] <DaemonicApathy> ania_ how are you opening it?
[20:05] <ania_> terminal and there conky
[20:05] <Fonsie> i installed ubuntu yesterday and restarted my comp and then tried going back into ubuntu and it does a scrolling check list type thing then stops on one and doesnt go any further
[20:05] <Ubuntu-erikas> When i'm have an problem message and i'm report it,it says : "Report failed"
[20:05] <uebera||> luka_: google Ratbox-IRCd
[20:06] <Chutney3k> Evening Folks
[20:06] <ania_> DaemonicApathy, any idea?
[20:07] <DaemonicApathy> ania_: I would try opening it from a menu instead of from the terminal.
[20:07] <Fonsie> anybody available to helpme?
[20:07] <Fonsie> help me*
[20:07] <k1l_> !ask | Fonsie
[20:07] <ania_> DaemonicApathy, there is no conky in menu
[20:07] <Fonsie> i installed ubuntu yesterday and restarted my comp and then tried going back into ubuntu and it does a scrolling check list type thing then stops on one and doesnt go any further
[20:07] <Chutney3k> there is no UI for conky lua
[20:08] <DaemonicApathy> Ah, then it's made to run within a terminal?
[20:08] <gh0st> I just installed Gnome remix.  apt-get doesn't work. this is the error:http://paste.ubuntu.com/1496880/
[20:09] <gh0st> any ideas?
[20:09] <Chutney3k> sounds like an X Server fail Fonsie. maybe (i'm no expert). sort of error I get after certain updates etc (i have Radeon HD 6800)
[20:09] <uebera||> Fonsie: The installer CD image has a rescue mode; either use this to get to the logs (only those messagr will help you here) or just re-install it.
[20:10] <Fonsie> i installed from usb drive so just try re-installing?
[20:10] <Chutney3k> Conky is run from command line. you can open a terminal and i think the basic run command is simply: conky
[20:10] <Chutney3k> Fonsie, what grfx card do you have?
[20:10] <Fonsie> on-board
[20:11] <Fonsie> my pc is kinda of cruddy, its a gateway netbook with 1gb of ram and integrated graphics
[20:11] <linuxuz3r> is this also the channel for ubuntu for phones?
[20:11] <Chutney3k> hmm.. Fonsie, check out Lubuntu. it works much better on older hardware
[20:12] <Fonsie> this computer is new, when you say old are you referring to just lower spec?
[20:12] <Chutney3k> yes
[20:13] <Fonsie> ok, is the process for usb installation and such the same as ubuntu?
[20:13] <Chutney3k> just my advice. im sure some people have had Ubuntu running on similar spec hardware. on my laptop (5 years old) i ran both and found Lubuntu much better suited to the hardware
[20:13] <loxoko> usb installation?
[20:13] <Chutney3k> yes
[20:13] <alo21> where can I find a good bus guide for python?
[20:14] <Fonsie> installation from usb drive loxoko
[20:14] <jrtappers> Is the 7770 compatable with ubuntu?
[20:14] <Chutney3k> ATI card?
[20:14] <uebera||> alo21: try "join /#python" and ask there ;)
[20:15] <linuxuz3r> is this also the channel for ubuntu for phones???????????????????????????
[20:15] <Muphrid> linuxuz3r: #ubuntu-phone for discussion
[20:15] <Fonsie> one more question chutney, when i go to install lubuntu will it give me the option to replace ubuntu or do i need to manually un-install it first
[20:15] <linuxuz3r> thanks Muphrid
[20:16] <rjcupid> can some one help me figure out how to make a 4pin s-video chord work with a 7pin port in my laptop?
[20:16] <rjcupid> i have a 4pin connection in my tv
[20:16] <MonkeyDust> rjcupid  sounds like a #hardware issue to me
[20:17] <Fonsie> rjcupid i would look on google for possibly a converter plug
[20:18] <rjcupid> well i already checked out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=952650 this topic on ubuntu forums and it didnt work...
[20:19] <Chutney3k> Jrtrappers?
[20:20] <Chutney3k> Sorry Fonsie, was looking something up. It will install in much the same way, so it will ask what you want to do: "wipe and install", "install alongside (dual boot)" or "something else"
[20:20] <codepython777> on ubuntu what can i configure that can talk otr with pidgin on windows?
[20:20] <Chutney3k> pidgin
[20:21] <Fonsie> and when i select wipe and install it should specify which os to erase?
[20:21] <jrtappers> THis is the 7770, is it compatable?   http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/7000/7770/pages/radeon-7770.aspx
[20:21] <Chutney3k> hmm.. think that will wipe everything
[20:21] <Fonsie> because i also have windows 7 on here and dont want to get rid of it
[20:21] <Chutney3k> best to chooose "something else!"
[20:21] <Chutney3k> and delete what you need to delete
[20:21] <Fonsie> ok, thank you
[20:21] <Fonsie> your help is much appreciated
[20:22] <Chutney3k> no problem fonsie, good luck!
[20:24] <suigeneris> !grub
[20:24] <Chutney3k> jrtapper: try this link for full details of the driver support https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[20:24] <Chutney3k> should tell you in there

[20:25] <Chutney3k> im out. good luck all and good night
[20:34] <dufa> when delpoying ubuntu (on 10-15 laptops), what would be the most sane way of making changes that are common to all installs (perhaps a know_hosts file, some applications (form the repos), and some settings changed)? Any pointers would be appreciated.
[20:35] <bekks> dufa: Create an installation image for PXE deployment.
[20:36] <suigeneris> what does this mean? /usr/bin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat 'aufs'
[20:37] <seednode> It means it doesn't recognize a partition in AU file system
[20:37] <seednode> You might have an AUFS partition without GRUB support for the file system
[20:37] <dufa> thx, i'll investigate
[20:37] <seednode> suigeneris, are any of your partitions formatted in AUFS?
[20:37] <suigeneris> seednode: all I did was sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[20:37] <seednode> What filesystem are you using?
[20:37] <suigeneris> no seednode
[20:38] <shartul> hi
[20:38] <suigeneris> seednode: reiserfs
[20:38] <seednode> Try installing aufs-utils or whatever the program is for compatibility, and running the command again
[20:38] <seednode> I don't know the exact program name, but it should be something like that
[20:38] <suigeneris> seednode: I was trying to recover grub from installing windows
[20:39] <shartul> am new to this
[20:39] <seednode> shartul, greetings.
[20:39] <shartul> anyone who may help me
[20:39] <seednode> Need any help?
[20:39] <seednode> Just ask.
[20:39] <shartul> how to use it ?
[20:39] <seednode> How to use Ubuntu?
[20:39] <shartul> yes
[20:39] <seednode> Or something in particular
[20:39] <shartul> does it mean I may any question relating to ubuntu
[20:39] <shartul> ?
[20:39] <seednode> Well, that's kinda a long process
[20:39] <seednode> Yes, you can ask anything
[20:39] <shartul> ok
[20:40] <seednode> I don't think this channel approves of PMing, else I could walk you through it step-by-step without spamming
[20:40] <Muphrid> !manual | shartul

[20:43] <rjcupid> does any one know a command line to make a 4pin tv (s-video) work with a 7pin laptop while using a 4pin s-video chord (using ubuntu 32-bit 12.04 lts)
[20:44] <rjcupid> people in hardwear dont seem to know...
[20:44] <bekks> rjcupid: There is no such command line to convert hardware.
[20:44] <dufa> bekks: thx, the PXE solution seems to be pretty much exactly what i was looking for, just didn't know the name of what I was looking for ;)
[20:45] <rjcupid> it worked in a similar situation... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=952650
[20:45] <bekks> rjcupid: You have to know which connectors you have exactly.
[20:45] <bekks> rjcupid: Otherwise, it is impossible.
[20:46] <rjcupid> my pc is 7-pin and the tv is 4pin and i have a 4pin chord
[20:46] <Quest> can anyone tell where i can get this background image? http://www.google.com/imgres?num=10&hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1366&bih=607&tbm=isch&tbnid=mESWvh__u3mrfM:&imgrefurl=http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php%3F58351-Is-There-a-Way-to-Restore-the-Plymouth-Screen-to-Default&docid=Z-G1NHb0TAHpIM&imgurl=http://i.imgur.com/zZULA.png&w=724&h=587&ei=Mj_nUKeJFczJsgb5yoDoDQ&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=381&sig=107240936512179610732&page=3&tbnh=152&tbnw=212&start=48&ndsp=32&ved=1t:

[20:46] <FloodBot1> Quest: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:46] <bekks> rjcupid: And which one of the 30 zillion 7-pin connectors is it? What does the manual tell you, about that connector?
[20:47] <rjcupid> its the 7pin s-vid port in an acer aspire-5050
[20:48] <bekks> rjcupid: Then you have to find out how these 7 pins are connected, and which signal goes where. And no, you cannot change that with a command line.
[20:50] <rjcupid> the video should be the same in both 4pin and 7pin but 7pin just has audio as well thats the other 3 connections
[20:50] <suigeneris> seednode: no aufs-utils I'm afraid :(
[20:50] <seednode> It's something like that
[20:50] <seednode> Just google AUFS utility ubuntu
[20:50] <rjcupid> im not trying to make them compatable im trying to mke them work
[20:53] <bekks> rjcupid: And for making it work, you have to have a converter, which is some hardware, and which depends on which signals goes where.
[20:53] <leonardpop> hello! i installed ubuntu 12.10, all the updates and bumblebee. my problem is unity is kinda slow. if i go to settings - details - graphics it says driver unknown, experience standard. my question is - unity being slow has to do with graphic drivers? thank you!
[20:53] <Muphrid> leonardpop: ATI card?
[20:54] <kuhrect> can anyone see this?
[20:54] <Muphrid> kuhrect: yes
[20:54] <rjcupid>  the signals are going to the right places i just need the tv to show up.
[20:54] <leonardpop> Muphrid: laptop with i3-370m and geforce 520m optimus hybrid
[20:54] <rjcupid> in the displays menu
[20:54] <midnightcoffee> is it possible to change the ubuntu terminal navigation? i hate using the up down keys due to placement on my keyboard
[20:54] <Muphrid> leonardpop: not sure then, I know 12.10 has a lot of problems with ati
[20:55] <Siecje> how can I make a svn folder in Ubuntu, with svn installed
[20:55] <Muphrid> leonardpop: you can try to install a driver through software-properties-gtk and "additional drivers"
[20:56] <rjcupid> actually i think i might be missing the driver vor my s-vid port = /
[20:56] <usr13> leonardpop: jockey-gtk
[20:56] <leonardpop> Muphrid: my laptop has to cards: for the nvidia one proprietary driver was installed with bumblebee, but for the intel video card i don't think there is a driver installed because in settings - details - graphics is says driver unknown
[20:57] <Muphrid> leonardpop: intel drivers are built in xorg in the xorg-xserver-video-intel package
[20:57] <rjcupid> where can i fin d a driver for a 7-pin s-video port ?
[20:57] <leonardpop> usr13: what is jockey-gtk? i am not good with linuc. thank you
[20:57] <Muphrid> optimus should be supported by the nvidia driver in ubuntu 12.10
[20:57] <leonardpop> Muphrid: got it, thanx!
[20:57] <usr13> leonardpop: It is the "additional drivvers" app
[20:58] <phibxr> Muphrid, I still have to install Bumblebee from a PPA to get it working though.
[20:59] <jhutchins_wk> rjcupid: The driver for the card that has the port has to support it.
[20:59] <Quest> where are the kubuntu splash screen background image and desktop wallpapers located?
[20:59] <leonardpop> Muphrid: so.. that means that is sure thing i have driver already installed for my intelHD card?
[21:00] <Muphrid> leonardpop: yes
[21:00] <suigeneris> seednode: I'm on a LiveCD and I hadn't noticed this before. the first line of mount says aufs on / type aufs (rw)
[21:00] <leonardpop> Muphrid: ok, thank you very much!
[21:00] <seednode> Ah.
[21:00] <rjcupid> yeah i dont think i have a driver...
[21:00] <seednode> That might be the problem
[21:00] <hunter> hey
[21:00] <bekks> rjcupid: Which graphics card do you have then?
[21:01] <qwery> hey again
[21:01] <usr13> Quest: /var/lib/gdm/.cache/wallpaper  is one place I think.
[21:01] <suigeneris> seednode: I've downloaded  aufs-tools manually and tried grub-install again, no luck
[21:01] <rjcupid> ati radeon xpress 1100
[21:01] <suigeneris> downloaded and installed*
[21:01] <bekks> usr13: gdm has nothing to do with the desktop :)
[21:02] <suigeneris> what must I do now?
[21:02] <usr13> bekks: O
[21:02] <rjcupid> could it be that i have a 32 bit os and should have a 64bit os?
[21:03] <bekks> rjcupid: No.

[21:03] <gh0st> I'm using GNOME remix.I have a problem running firefox. I've extracted the contents of the firefox tar file I downloaded online.

[21:03] <qwery> i am trying to figure out how to do that for about an hour now.. so i thought i come back here and ask if anyone knows how to do it ;)
[21:04] <qwery> the easiest way would be to have a http-url for a stream, where everything comes in that is played from subsonic
[21:04] <Quest> usr13,  and splash background?
[21:04] <qwery> i think
[21:05] <usr13> Quest: Maybe /usr/share/images/desktop-something-or-other
[21:06] <nanobolic> gh0st, is the file firefox executable? or is there one in the folder that says firefox-bin?
[21:06] <usr13> Quest: like:  /usr/share/images/desktop-base ?
[21:07] <gh0st> nanabolics: there is a firefox-bin
[21:07] <nanobolic> gh0st, try chmod +x firefox then run firefox like this ./firefox
[21:07] <Quest> thanks
[21:07] <nanobolic> gh0st, that is the one that you want to run most likely
[21:08] <usr13> nanobolic: gh0st /lib/firefox/firefox
[21:08] <Seven_Six_Two> gh0st, precede executables which are not on your path with a full path. try "echo $PATH" to see where its looking for firefox
[21:09] <shartul> http-ubuntu mobile os
[21:09] <usr13> nanobolic: gh0st What are we trying to do?
[21:09] <nanobolic> usr13, he just wants to run firefox frojm a tar file that he downloaded
[21:10] <shartul> anyone who may advie me on using python or shell script with automation test cases in Selenium
[21:10] <usr13> nanobolic: ~/Downloads/firefox-17.0.1/firefox
[21:10] <Pici> shartul: You'd be more likely to get answers in either #selenium or #python
[21:10] <shartul> atleast help with shell script
[21:11] <shartul> ?
[21:11] <usr13> gh0st: The Tab key is your friend.

[21:25] <Monotoko> under, can't really find much on it annoyingly... have you tried enabling developer mode/USB debugging?
[21:25] <rjcupid> no i already tried that
[21:26] <rjcupid> the command line didnt work...
[21:26] <rjcupid> i was wondering if im missing a driver or need a different line...
[21:27] <rjcupid> i have the additional drivers ap installed
[21:27] <compdoc> trendynick, do you ever let the PC sleep or hibernate?
[21:27] <trendynick> yes S3 a lot of time, on UPS

[21:32] <Monotoko> ahmedipa.. is your disk full?
[21:33] <Jordan_U> ahmedipa: That normally means that you have a buggy BIOS which can't properly handle large drives. You can work around your BIOS's limitation by creating a separate small /boot/ partition near the beginning of the drive.
[21:34] <ahmedipa> Monotoko:  no I have space enough
[21:35] <under> Monotoko: success! thanks

Switch to console with ctrl-alt-f1. Can hear the video playing. Switch back to X with alt-f7. Sound stops. Any ideas why that might be?
[21:37] <TeamRocket1233c> He's most likely running Ubuntu 12.04.

[21:39] <marahin> Ceees2, chmod +rwx filedir
[21:39] <Ceees2> It says I'm not the owner of the files...
[21:39] <marahin> oh
[21:39] <marahin> then chown user:user filedir
[21:40] <marahin> like chown cees:cees /home/cees/lmao.txt
[21:40] <marahin> it'll make you the owner of lmao.txt file
[21:40] <Ceees2> k let me try
[21:40] <TeamRocket1233c> One of the problems he's having is it don't recognize pressure sensitivity.
[21:40] <ahmedipa> I don't understand
[21:40] <ahmedipa> something
[21:40] <dec0de> TeamRocket1233, I'd make sure he has disabled pressure completely first. I had to do that with my 5
[21:40] <ahmedipa> I have before windows 7 and ubuntu
[21:41] <ahmedipa> after I got that problem
[21:41] <ahmedipa>    	 	 	 	 	 	   error: hd0 out of disk
[21:41] <dec0de> If it works after that then he will probably just need to make a fresh Xsetwacom config file
[21:41] <ahmedipa> I used CD live
[21:41] <ahmedipa> for ubuntu
[21:42] <ahmedipa> then I saw
[21:43] <Ceees2> marahin it says changing ownership of ".." not permitted.
[21:43] <wbf> I need help with a belkin f5d5050
[21:43] <marahin> Ceees2, try sudo chown user:user filedir?
[21:44] <TeamRocket1233c> Will it work if pressure sensitivity's disabled?
[21:44] <marahin> (sudo chown ceees:ceees /home/ceees/lmao.txt)
[21:44] <Ceees2> okay 1 sec
[21:44] <ahmedipa> http://i.imgur.com/hWXLO.png
[21:45] <dec0de> Thats what he needs to test, if it works with it disabled then its probably just a bad config file
[21:45] <wbf> ah O_O
[21:45] <wbf> the pendrive is mounted as /cdrom?
[21:45] <GladIRC> Somebody, that is a Linux Foundation member, could help me with the student membership?
[21:45] <ahmedipa> I will be back
[21:45] <Ceees2> okay that seems to work, but can it unlock all the directories inside it aswell?
[21:46] <TeamRocket1233c> His problem is the driver isn't installed.
[21:46] <ahmedipa> Jordan_U:  I will be back I hope that you understand my problem
[21:46] <wbf> PS: I need a linux driver for the f5d5050
[21:46] <TeamRocket1233c> And he don't know how to install it.
[21:46] <marahin> Ceees2, sure
[21:46] <wbf> and it's a belkin f5d5050
[21:47] <TeamRocket1233c> He downloaded the driver from Wacom, from what he's put out.
[21:47] <Ceees2> It doesn't do that atm
[21:47] <marahin> Ceees2, sudo chown ceees:ceees -R /home/ceees/images/
[21:47] <marahin> yes, you have to add -R flag (as: recursive)
[21:48] <TeamRocket1233c> How does one install the driver for an Intuos4 in Precise?
[21:48] <tqrst> can someone tell me why sound only works on the command line (ctrl-alt-f1 and company) and in gnome? I don't get any sound in xmonad. "alsamixer" shows the proper device - I just can't get any sound out of it.
[21:48] <GladIRC> Somebody, that is a Linux Foundation member, could help me with the student membership?
[21:49] <wbf> Does anyone know about belkin on linux?
[21:49] <bekks> wbf: I bet someone does.
[21:49] <wbf> bekks: who?
[21:49] <bekks> wbf: How about asking your actual question?
[21:49] <TeamRocket1233c> He hasn't downloaded the driver either.
[21:50] <TeamRocket1233c> He's pretty much a Linux noob.
[21:50] <bekks> wbf: Without a question, most likely no one will notice you.
[21:50] <wbf> bekks: I need to use an f5d5050 belkin usb 10/100 internet adapter
[21:50] <blami> wbf:
[21:50] <Ceees2> thanks alot marahin!
[21:50] <TeamRocket1233c> I better go, stuff's getting volatile.
[21:51] <marahin> Ceees2, no problem mate, have fun with Ubu :-)
[21:51] <Jordan_U> wbf: So it's an adaptor that connects via USB and provides an ethernet port?
[21:51] <wbf> yes
[21:51] <wbf> I'm trying to use ubuntu on the ug802.
[21:52] <wbf> so far it boots to the network lines
[21:52] <wbf> then it fails
[21:52] <Jordan_U> wbf: If you plug it in, and plug in an ethernet cable from it to a network of some sort, does the connection appear in network-manager?

[21:53] <wbf> Jordan_U: No, because while it's booting it fails because of the internal adapter. Not the external. as in the WIFI inside the UG is the problem

[22:02] <agrestringere> markmm, how do I do that?
[22:02] <keber> hello, in earth is  4 one testicle mans 4 gods, 4 right heart one testicle mans 4 right heart gods and in every sattellite is same
[22:03] <markmm> agrestringere: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[22:03] <the_admin_> ping
[22:04] <WeThePeople> is there a way to do a reinstall of 12.04.1 'Precise' without touching the files on the hdd?
[22:04] <neuroquote> #ubuntu-ru
[22:05] <agrestringere> markmm: linux-headers-generic is already the newest version.
[22:05] <yeats> WeThePeople: are the files you want to save on a separate partition?
[22:05] <blitz> I'm having some serious apt-get issues can anyone give me some advice http://paste.ubuntu.com/1497426/
[22:05] <WeThePeople> yeats no
[22:05] <markmm> When you insalled bcmwl did it show any errors?
[22:05] <agrestringere> let me do it again and see I will pastebin the output
[22:05] <sazawal> I need to install Ubuntu via Networkboot. My DHCP server is working. I have also configured TFTP and I am able to get files on the server-system using tftp localhost -c get testfile. But the client system is showing pxe-e32 tftp open timeout
[22:06] <t00r> test
[22:07] <rsser1> please, could anyone give me link of mark shutlerworth's website?
[22:07] <yeats> WeThePeople: in that case, your best option is probably to back up your files to external media, reinstall, then move the files back
[22:07] <WeThePeople> yeats, ok
[22:07] <yeats> WeThePeople: and when you reinstall, partition your drive so you have a separate partition (like /home) for your files you don't want to overwrite during upgrades/reinstalls
[22:08] <yeats> WeThePeople: or use LVM for the same purpose
[22:08] <WeThePeople> yeats, good idea
[22:08] <kslater> WeThePeople: none of the files on the hard disk? What would the reinstall be doing then?
[22:08] <blitz> I'm having some serious apt-get issues can anyone give me some advice http://paste.ubuntu.com/1497426/ libsane is stuck
[22:08] <agrestringere> markmm: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1497436/
[22:09] <WeThePeople> kslater, i was hoping just the ubuntu files for proper booting, their are 'broken pipes' at boot
[22:09] <yeats> blitz: does 'sudo apt-get -f install' help?
[22:10] <kslater> I'll just warn you that I was in that position and managed to nuke my home directory. Luckily BackInTime had done a snapshot as recently as a few days back
[22:10] <yeats> blitz: you might also try moving /etc/sane.d/fujitsu.conf to see if that helps
[22:11] <blitz> yeats that's what I ran to get the error
[22:11] <blitz> yeah I'll mv the conf I guess
[22:11] <Desproges> Hi, is that the good place to get advice about upgrading an old ubuntu version (10.10) ?
[22:11] <blitz> moving it didn't help
[22:12] <MarKsaitis> there is a landscape user acc on my system, what does it mean and how do I know this user cant login?
[22:12] <markmm> agrestringere: I assume you rebooted?
[22:12] <yeats> blitz: same error?
[22:12] <Desproges> (ubuntu server)
[22:12] <agrestringere> markmm: yes
[22:12] <blitz> no, different conf file this time
[22:12] <blitz> ill just keep moving
[22:12] <yeats> Desproges: you're almost certainly in for a reinstall
[22:12] <yeats> Desproges: and I'd recommend using LTS on servers for exactly this reason
[22:12] <markmm> agrestringere: is it a laptop? Does it have a wireless switch, maybe it is off?
[22:13] <Desproges> just changing the /etc/apt/sources.list is a bad idea so ?
[22:13] <agrestringere> markmm, it does but it's on at the moment
[22:13] <yeats> Desproges: yeah - I wouldn't expect that to work
[22:14] <blitz> I just removed all the confs and it wrote new ones
[22:14] <markmm> agrestringere: Not sure then, when I installed it the module loaded and I had wireless.  Sorry
[22:14] <ahmedipa> back
[22:15] <lonewulf85> Hello can anyone help with Rhythmbox not playing last.fm stations
[22:15] <ahmedipa> I think my problem related with hard disk
[22:15] <yeats> blitz: so it's working now?
[22:15] <nubie> I've used linux since '96 and I've used pritty much nothing but the GUI the whole time, I do some pretty complex tasks on my machine too, and I've never had trouble... except that ppl always seem to preach that one should learn the command line, now I know the basics, but I beg to differ with these hardcore CLI ppl, so I wanna know why? What have you achieved so much greater than I by using the CLI?
[22:15] <xight> Hi all
[22:16] <blitz> I think so yeats thanks for the help
[22:17] <t00r> quit
[22:17] <keber> i wanna see golden egg, what kills my one testicle
[22:17] <trendynick> It seems I can access everything (even encrypted drive with 80% known password), and no obvious corruption of data =»
[22:17] <markmm> nubie: You can't pipe data from one GUI app to another, it's about using commands together
[22:18] <lonewulf85> Please last.fm stations not working
[22:18] <ahmedipa> before I have windows 7 on // sda1
[22:18] <yaymukund> dumb question, but what's the terminal in ubuntu headless mode?
[22:18] <ahmedipa> and ubuntu on // sda 4
[22:18] <ahmedipa> now I find this
[22:18] <markmm> yaymukund: bash?
[22:18] <sazawal> I want to set up TFTP for ubuntu installation via Networkboot. I am using tftp-hpa as tftp server. It is working fine when I try to get files on the server-system using this command "tftp localhost -c get testfile". The client system gets connected via DHCP server and then shows this error "pxe-e32 tftp open timeout"

[22:19] <wbf> Jordan_U: http://flickcabin.com/public/viewset/47807 (In a convenient set so you can look at them)
[22:19] <ahmedipa> may be the problem related to hard disk ??
[22:19] <yaymukund> markmm: not the shell, but the terminal itself. I'm trying to mess with the cursor blink :p
[22:19] <DJones> keber: Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[22:19] <wbf> Jordan_U: at the end it says stopping lxc
[22:19] <guntbert> Desproges: see https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html please
[22:20] <markmm> yaymukund: check inittab
[22:20] <Jordan_U> ahmedipa: That screenshot is showing your USB drive, not your internal drive.
[22:21] <guntbert> !ot | nubie
[22:21] <wbf> Jordan_U: did you see those screenshots?
[22:21] <markmm> yaymukund: Sorry, seems like ubuntu has not inittab
[22:21] <ahmedipa> Jordan_U:  aha so what do you think my problem
[22:21] <Jordan_U> wbf: Yes, though it's hard to read anything from any of them.
[22:22] <ahmedipa> Jordan_U: my problem is that I had windows 7 and ubuntu
[22:22] <Jordan_U> ahmedipa: I told you what your problem is already. You have a buggy BIOS.
[22:22] <wbf> Jordan_U: it says at the end stopping lxc or something
[22:22] <yaymukund> markmm: yeah, I just figured that out :p but I can dig through here. there's init.d/console-setup
[22:22] <ahmedipa> Jordan_U:  how can I solve this problem
[22:22] <shivy> Can anyone help with problem with ati radeon card and 3d display on ubuntu studio?
[22:23] <Jordan_U> ahmedipa: Try to find a BIOS update that fixes the bug, or create a separate small /boot/ partition near the beginning of the drive.
[22:23] <wbf> Jordan_U: this is what I'm looking at and I did: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/41453-pre-alpha-02-ubuntu-linux-for-mk802-iii-ug802-mk808/
[22:25] <Akuma> hello, how can I make xrandr settings permanent without using a xorg config file?
[22:25] <ahmedipa>  Jordan_U: I will try to find out using google
[22:26] <Jordan_U> wbf: That guide is for an older release, and says "Superseded by Pre-Alpha 0.3" at the top. Why are you following that guide? Also note that for such a modified system #ubuntu isn't really an apropriate place to get support.
[22:27] <wbf> Jordan_U: I am trying to say I accidentally installed pre alpha 0.0.1
[22:28] <Jordan_U> wbf: So install the latest release.
[22:28] <wbf> Jordan_U: I cannot I tried the emerjency flash procedure it did not work
[22:29] <ahmedipa>  Jordan_U: searching about BIOS update
[22:29] <wbf> Jordan_U: trying to manually modify xorg.conf. maybe that's the problem
[22:30] <sazawal> I want to set up TFTP for ubuntu installation via Networkboot. I am using tftp-hpa as tftp server. It is working fine when I try to get files on the server-system using this command "tftp localhost -c get testfile". The client system gets connected via DHCP server and then shows this error "pxe-e32 tftp open timeout"
[22:30] <ahmedipa> Jordan_U: do you think that    	 	 	 	 	 	   http://thoughtsdaily.wordpress.com/2011/11/01/update-dell-bios-in-ubuntu/
[22:30] <ahmedipa>
[22:30] <Jordan_U> wbf: Please get support for that from whatever forum is provided for this. #ubuntu is not the right place for support, and trying to fix a known buggy old release of a distribution rather than fixing the actual problem you're having installing the current version is silly.
[22:30] <trendynick> nubie: in CLI tasks are faster sometimes (a 20k+ copy of files is significantly slower in GUI than CLI), less cpu use - sometimes they matter, but other than AIX or enterprise on the cheap (RHEL or cheaper) is really irrelevant if you're not in some poverty time, but I woulnd't say more as I am still in that time (for external reasons) and some get histerical if I say those saving are irrelevant in comparisson with others (even included)
[22:30] <ahmedipa> this site solve this problem
[22:31] <wbf> Jordan_U: Okay. bye. it's actually 12.04 LTS when it boots but OKAY.
[22:31] <lonewulf85> Any ideas on last.fm failure in rhythmbox
[22:31] <bekks> lonewulf85: Whats the error message then?
[22:32] <Jordan_U> ahmedipa: If this is a Dell machine, then yes that may help (as long as a newer BIOS image is available and fixes this bug).
[22:33] <ahmedipa> Jordan_U:  this is Dell machine
[22:33] <ahmedipa> I hope that my problem will be fixed
[22:33] <ahmedipa> but I found this problem after I typed

[22:40] <ichat> s
[22:40] <ichat> damn
[22:40] <zteam> Hi Guys!
[22:40] <Guest52619> hi
[22:40] <ichat> guest56 sy
[22:41] <ichat> my wih
[22:41] <ichat> fe
[22:41] <Desproges> guntbert, thanks you. I wanted to use do-release-upgrade  but it try to upgrade the system first and display lot of "error mirror not found"
[22:41] <zteam> Anybody knows where I can upgrade VLC to 2.05?
[22:41] <zteam> for Ubuntu 12.04?
[22:41] <ichat> ztem, there is  a  ppa for that
[22:42] <cham> MonkeyDust: you wanna see the output ?
[22:42] <guntbert> Desproges: best check what mirror you are using
[22:42] <MonkeyDust> cham  no, but so you can see where to find the cdrom
[22:43] <cham> MonkeyDust there is no cdrom in it
[22:44] <Zohan> hello guys
[22:44] <MonkeyDust> cham  you can't see what's not there
[22:44] <Desproges> guntbert, deb ftp://mirror.ovh.net/ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick
[22:44] <ichat> Guest52619,  just keep out of my private messages without asking  im not a  callgirl.. hell im not even female
[22:44] <Zohan> I need help with my fan, it's running on high speed all the time.
[22:44] <Zohan> Do you have any solutions?
[22:46] <ichat> zohan ... cut the wires   or use some fanspeed aplication ... there must be one out there
[22:46] <Emandab1> desproges, i think Guest52619 may be a bot - they just connected with me too - that's what ignore is for
[22:46] <Zohan> ichat: do you have any tip on fanspeed aplications?
[22:46] <fourq> Does it make sense that I have to 'sudo' my editor every time I want to use it? If I don't I can't save. Is this because I installed it in opt/ instead of home/ ?
[22:46] <usr13> Zohan: If it were mine, I'd be wanting it to run high speed so that my processor would not over-heat.
[22:47] <guntbert> Desproges: I'd change to the standard mirror first
[22:47] <Desproges> Emandab1, I didn't mentionned Guest52619, did I ?
[22:47] <ichat> no  but i could google one  and so could you
[22:47] <Emandab1> no - ichat did - my bad
[22:47] <Benxyzzy> When I do
[22:47] <Benxyzzy> nohup museekd &
[22:47] <Benxyzzy> at bash it prints some text and waits on a blank line. When I hit enter (to get back to the prompt), it says "Stopped" - i.e. the job is stopped. The whole point of nohup (and ampersand) is to run processes into the background, so why does the job immediately stop?
[22:47] <FloodBot1> Benxyzzy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:47] <Emandab1> your message was just above his and i misread it
[22:47] <ichat> Emandab1,  what did i do?
[22:48] <ichat> ow lol
[22:48] <Emandab1> you mentioned guest52619 - they started a private chat with me too
[22:49] <Emandab1> i actually was hoping to get help on a question and not talk about whether you are male or female
[22:49] <Emandab1> I've been playing around with portable ubuntu on thumb drive and so far am rather unhappy with what I've been able to create
[22:49] <ichat> its a bit sad no? -
[22:49] <Emandab1> a bit
[22:49] <ariel__> can someone tell me where the root directory in my server
[22:50] <Kion1> where in the file system is the file with my ppp sources?
[22:50] <Benxyzzy> arial__ : /root?
[22:50] <ichat> Emandab1,  - sorry cant help you with that
[22:50] <Emandab1> all the portable solutions i've tried seem to have limited persistence and are organized as an install CD (eg: use squashfs) - can i do better
[22:50] <Guest20572> benxyzzy is that a directory
[22:50] <Benxyzzy> arial__ : do you meant the home directory of the root user, or the root of the filesystem ?
[22:51] <Kion1> when I actualized to 12.10 somehow the daily Freecad got # commented
[22:51] <Kion1> where is the file to uncomment it
[22:51] <Emandab1> no problem ichat - you helped me know that you're not a female - that's help enough :-O
[22:51] <Zohan> Ichat: Sorry, my browser did freeze as always
[22:51] <Desproges> That's the point,  guntbert, maverick does not exists anymore :s
[22:51] <Zohan> So you do have any applications where i can reduce fan noise=
[22:51] <Benxyzzy> Guest20572: ls -Altrh /
[22:51] <Benxyzzy> drwx------   3 root root 4.0K Sep 25 13:14 root
[22:52] <Benxyzzy> (yes)
[22:52] <guntbert> Desproges: let met check something
[22:52] <ichat> zohan no i dont, i told you to google. ...  or even use the ubuntu app center its search is quite oke
[22:52] <Emandab1> zohan - replacing the fan is probably best if you can do that
[22:52] <ichat> i usually find what im looking for in a couple of minutes
[22:52] <Guest20572> benxyzzy you mean in the terminal?
[22:52] <Desproges> sure, and thanks you for your time anyway :)
[22:53] <ichat> Emandab1,  i am glad i was able to help (at least partially :P
[22:53] <F3Speech> Hey guys just a quick question, why does 'cd' fail when you run it with sudo?
[22:53] <Emandab1> alas - no help on portable linux - anyone??
[22:53] <cham> MonkeyDust after an update to ubuntu my CD/DVD is not recognized in Dolphine nor brasero
[22:53] <Emandab1> cd is a shell command
[22:53] <Benxyzzy> Guest20572: Yes type
[22:53] <Benxyzzy> ls -Altrh /
[22:53] <Benxyzzy> at the terminal and you will see. Asuming Arial__ 's question is what we're talking about and not my question
[22:54] <Emandab1> f3speech - cd is a shell command not an executable
[22:54] <Emandab1> so sudo can't find it to run it
[22:54] <bekks> Emandab1: Whats your actual problem you are facing with a portable Ubuntu?
[22:54] <MonkeyDust> cham  dolphin... kubuntu?
[22:54] <Emandab1> no problem - just no satisfaction
[22:54] <bekks> Emandab1: Because cd is a shell builtin and no command.
[22:54] <cham> MonkeyDust yeah
[22:55] <F3Speech> Always assumed you could prefix any line with sudo and have it run
[22:55] <bekks> F3Speech: Which is wrong.
[22:55] <Emandab1> i want my linux on a thumbdrive to behave like linux on my hard drive
[22:55] <Blue1> F3Speech: bad assumption
[22:55] <Benxyzzy> F3Speech: Temporarily become the root user with sudo su and then run cd?
[22:55] <Guest20572> Benxyzzy what does that have to do with what im talking about
[22:55] <MonkeyDust> cham  no experience with kde/dolphin, sorry
[22:55] <Emandab1> i want it to use the 32 gigs of space - perform with equal or near-equal speed (I have a hopping fast USB)
[22:56] <F3Speech> Blue1:  apparently so lol
[22:56] <bekks> Benxyzzy: sudo su is a bad approach.  Do you have any ideas why it does that?
[22:57] <guntbert> Desproges: that was a misconception (here), I thought "server" was supported longer
[22:57] <Zohan> happens a lot when I play flash
[22:57] <WeThePeople> how do i access home dir in a guest session?
[22:58] <rsser1> is there any ubuntu mobile to test?
[22:58] <Emandab1> F3Speech: if you run "$ which cd" you'll see that no command is found - ditto for "$ man cd"
[22:58] <bekks> WeThePeople: The guest session is not designed to do so.
[22:58] <Blue1> WeThePeople: cd ~
[22:58] <Emandab1> F3Speech: the doc for cd is inside of "man bash"
[22:58] <bekks> WeThePeople: You can only access the home directory of the guest user.
[22:58] <WeThePeople> bekks, is there a hack i can use
[22:58] <Benxyzzy> bekks: You're right, I stand corrected. Although it is recommended in Ubuntu's documentation here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[22:59] <Blue1> WeThePeople: there's no place like home
[22:59] <guntbert> Desproges: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades seems outdated, but you should be able to get by
[22:59] <Emandab1> F3Speech: the reason cd can't be an executable is because it tweaks the kernel's internal data about the current process - if you run it as a command as sudo would do then you're changing the current directory for the wrong processs
[22:59] <bekks> Blue1: ?
[22:59] <cham> my cd/dvd is not recognized after an update
[22:59] <WeThePeople> bekks, do you know how to fix broken pipes?
[22:59] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: Looking back at your older question, you actually can re-install Ubuntu while preserving /home/, even when it's not on a separate partition.
[22:59] <bekks> WeThePeople: Huh? What do you mean exactly?
[23:00] <Emandab1> WeThePeople: i've found that duct tape works well on broken pipes
[23:00] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, do you have a link
[23:00] <WeThePeople> lol
[23:00] <XDS2012> hi guys
[23:00] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: What is your end goal with the guest session?
[23:00] <danny> how to i make a unity webapp for gmail to open in chrome or chromium would rather chrome
[23:01] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, i just need to login to my super user account. there are two error msg. 1) cannot upgrade .ICEauthority file, 2) cannot write byte broken pipe
[23:02] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, guest session works
[23:02] <guntbert> WeThePeople: thast what you get for sudoing for a GUI app
[23:02] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: That first error is the result of using sudo to run a GUI app, instead of using gksudo. Never use sudo with GUI apps.
[23:02] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, i use sudo nautilus once
[23:02] <xangua> !phone | danny
[23:03] <WeThePeople> used*
[23:03] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: You can fix it by either using ctrl+alt+F1 to get to a text terminal (ctrl+alt+F7 to get back) and fix the permissions, or reboot into recovery mode and fix the permissions.
[23:03] <wbf> Where is the Xorg.conf in ubuntu 12.10?
[23:04] <XDS2012> man i wish apple would act more like ubuntu sometimes
[23:04] <guntbert> WeThePeople: once is one too many
[23:04] <bekks> wbf: It does not exist by default.
[23:04] <usr13> WeThePeople: Why did you do it?  What did you do with nautilus as super user?
[23:04] <danny> xangua: not sure how that helped me or evan led me in the right direction to help myself i want to make a unity shortcut to my gmail
[23:04] <wbf> Well does it work?
[23:04] <wbf> when I put in an xorg in 12.10?
[23:04] <usr13> wbf: You mean /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[23:04] <Jordan_U> wbf: If you create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf it will be used, yes. Why?
[23:04] <wbf> Yes.
[23:04] <bekks> wbf: If it is in the right place, sure.
[23:04] <wbf> Thank you.
[23:04] <WeThePeople> usr13, i forget it has to do with a selection gui of more programs
[23:05] <WeThePeople> guntbert, but then i used gksudo afterward again
[23:07] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, fix the permissions of nautilus?
[23:08] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: No, fix the permissions of ~/.ICEauthority .
[23:08] <frustrated> could anyone let me know why the program redshift doesn't work in ubuntu gnome3?
[23:08] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, it is fixed
[23:08] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, i have done that already
[23:09] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: Are you still having a problem logging in?
[23:09] <WeThePeople> it has rw capability and owned by super user
[23:09] <WeThePeople> yes
[23:09] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: It's not supposed to be owned by root, it's supposed to be owned by your user.
[23:09] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, ace:ace
[23:09] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: It's owned by root because you started a GUI application with sudo instead of gksudo.
[23:10] <WeThePeople> that is my user
[23:10] <WeThePeople> i did it correctly
[23:10] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: For future reference, "super user" is synonimous with "root".
[23:10] <WeThePeople> ok
[23:13] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: What happens now when you try to login?
[23:13] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, to my user account.. 1 moment pls
[23:17] <spiffman> hi, I tried to set up dual boot 32-bit and 64-bit ubuntu and now one constantly gives me "gave up waiting for root device" error and doesn't boot
[23:17] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, here is the msg exatly.. Could not update ICEauthority file /home/ace/.ICEauthority    <<<>>> and their is a Logout button too
[23:18] <spiffman> when i run blkid in busybox, the drive containing my ubuntu partitions doesn't show up...
[23:18] <Jordan_U> spiffman: Are the Ubuntu installations on different drives or on different partitions on the same drive?
[23:18] <spiffman> Jordan_U, different partitions of the same drive
[23:19] <schultza> on the server, how come the 'sudo apt-get upgrade' doesnt upgrade everything?
[23:19] <Jordan_U> spiffman: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and "sudo blkid" from the working install?
[23:19] <Jordan_U> !dist-upgrade | schultza
[23:20] <spiffman> Jordan_U, sure, hold on a sec (using live usb)
[23:20] <rsser1> Jordan_U: ubuntu mobile
[23:20] <Jordan_U> spiffman: From the LiveUSB works just as well.
[23:20] <rsser1> oops, sorry I thought Jordan_U was a bot
[23:22] <John___> Hi, I have installed Ubuntu in VMWare but the desktop is odd. There are no toolbars, just the wallpaper
[23:22] <sysdoc> John___, vmware tools installed yet?
[23:23] <spiffman> Jordan_U, blkid: http://pastebin.com/qe6KKX2G
[23:23] <John___> sysdoc: Yes
[23:23] <spiffman> Jordan_U, parted: http://pastebin.com/DqBUbtHx
[23:24] <spiffman> Jordan_U, i have an ssd with windows (separate drive) and have both ubuntu partitions on the WD drive
[23:24] <spiffman> Jordan_U, and have a partition for /home
[23:25] <schultza> !upgrade
[23:25] <spiffman> Jordan_U, and finally, 650gb ntfs space for media
[23:25] <spiffman> bit of a strange setup :-P
[23:26] <wbf> Okay so what happened was I am in console now, but I cannot join a wifi network nor does it detect my usb 10/100 internet card
[23:26] <wbf> So, I'm basically stuck
[23:27] <Kion1> I installed my msn account on empathy and now every 10 minutes I have a window saying some accound is asking for  permission to see when I connect, how do i get rid of that??
[23:27] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, these problems only have to do with ubuntu and ubuntu 2d. i am logged into flux box and have access to my user
[23:29] <Desproges> thanks again guntbert, I will check that in the coming days
[23:29] <bugtraq> klk
[23:29] <bugtraq> akuma
[23:30] <schultza> kion, i believe that is ppl asking you to add you to their contact list... and empathy likes to keep a local copy of your contacts, so i will do that for every contact
[23:30] <schultza> once approved for those contacts, empathy will stop asking
[23:31] <Jordan_U> spiffman: Which install is failing to boot, the 32 or 64 bit one?
[23:32] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: Just to be absolutely sure, what is the output of "ls -l ~/.ICEauthority"?
[23:34] <blackline> For the last couple of days I've tried to get the best solution for unpacking RAR archives with multiple files. I've gone through tons of forum threads and a couple of blogs. Most of them have recommended the Archiver included with Ubuntu in combination with unrar-nonfree. Many have stated that this will work. I've installed unrar-nonfree and it won't unpack the RAR archives I have that are divided and follows the pathern part01.rar, part0
[23:34] <blackline> 2.rar etc. Neither the once going .rar, .r01, etc. So, guys. What shoud I use to be able to extract at least all rar archives or in best case most archives?!
[23:34] <spiffman> Jordan_U, the 64 bit one, on /dev/sdb4
[23:34] <blackline> I'm trying Peazip now but i'm not very impressed at what I've seen yet.
[23:37] <olynch> :q
[23:38] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, -rw------- 1 ace ace 1423 Jan  4 00:52 .ICEauthority
[23:39] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: Please run the exact command I gave.
[23:39] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, i did
[23:39] <jhutchins_wk> blackline: Connand is unrar <first file in series>.
[23:40] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, -rw------- 1 ace ace 1423 Jan  4 00:52 /home/ace/.ICEauthority
[23:40] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: The exact command I gave, "ls -l ~/.ICEauthority" , will cause ls to print the full path to the file.
[23:40] <olynch> Hello
[23:40] <blackline> jhutchins_wk, Yes I know how to do it in terminal but that's not very family friendly. I would like a gui.
[23:40] <jhutchins_wk> blackline: If you use something like pan it will do it for you.
[23:41] <blackline> jhutchins_wk, so isnt there anything comparable to winrar that can let me do all this in an interface?
[23:41] <jhutchins_wk> blackline: unrar doesn't have a gui.  Some utilities like ark might handle it but I doubt.  Be a man and use the cli.
[23:41] <alexhairyman> jhutchins_wk +1
[23:42] <spiffman> is there any way to instruct grub2 to use the root=/dev/sdx format instead of the default root=uuid=XXX-XXX format?
[23:42] <Jordan_U> WeThePeople: Very odd, I don't know why you're getting that error then.
[23:42] <Jordan_U> spiffman: Yes, but why do you want to do that? (it's less reliable)
[23:42] <blackline> jhutchins_wk, like most of the times i download like 10-15 episodes of something, extracting them all at the sime time at my desktop. they are all in different directories from start. I suppose I could use something to make this easy but it seems really unconvinient having to use terminal.
[23:43] <blackline> jhutchins_wk, what is this pan thingie then?
[23:43] <GeorgeJ> Hello folks!
[23:43] <WeThePeople> jordan_u, it might be a third party program, or since i have been messin around with mysql and postgres apache xammp maybe that might be why
[23:43] <spiffman> Jordan_U, looking on forums, it mentioned this as a possible solution. at this point, when i'm at the busybox boot, it doesn't even show the device
[23:43] <HackinBlack> Hello
[23:43] <blackline> jhutchins_wk, if i at least could get a right click context menu option for the unrar that would make a big difference.
[23:43] <Jordan_U> spiffman: No, that defninitely won't help you.
[23:43] <GeorgeJ> I've installed deluged and deluge-web, however, deluge-web doesn't seem to start at boot, so I've written an upstart job, as suggested on deluge-s page.
[23:44] <Jordan_U> spiffman: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo fsck /dev/sda4"?
[23:44] <HackinBlack> Hello
[23:44] <Jordan_U> spiffman: Sorry, sdb4.
[23:44] <jhutchins_wk> blackline: You can extract them all in parallel.  I usually do it in the directories they're in then move the files.
[23:45] <jhutchins_wk> blackline: It's a function that a GUI would have a hard time with and a CLI does very well.
[23:45] <GeorgeJ> But for some reason, since deluged doesn't have an upstart job, deluge-web doesn't seem to be able to start when delgued starts. Here's my upstart job: http://tny.cz/19e0ab2a
[23:46] <GeorgeJ> Meh, I'll use ubuntu's paste, sorry
[23:46] <WeThePeople> how do i force a update of untrusted packages?
[23:46] <rachel_> Anyone handy at memory testing with memtester(8)?
[23:46] <spiffman> Jordan_U, fsck: http://pastebin.com/3dDSnYHU
[23:46] <blackline> jhutchins_wk, so how would i proceeed doing this in terminal without having to browse through lets say 15 different folders?
[23:46] <Guest51928> hey can someone help me with my broadcom wifi drivers for macbook pro 13inch or lack there of i guess i need the drivers?
[23:47] <Jordan_U> spiffman: Can you mount it successfully with "sudo mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/"?
[23:47] <blackline> sorry for being a pain in the ass but i see myself having to cd-browse through 10-20 folders a week unraring in compare to double click - extract, double click, extract.
[23:47] <GeorgeJ> Here's the paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1497681/ The file is located at /etc/init/deluge-web.conf. sudo service deluge-web start works. However, should deluge-web not start automatically when I do sudo service deluged start, because of the first line in the upstart job?
[23:47] <spiffman> Jordan_U, yup, just did no problem
[23:47] <stijn> hi
[23:48] <stijn> I istalled ubuntu tpday
[23:48] <stijn> 12.10
[23:48] <blackline> stijn, congrats ;)
[23:48] <stijn> now it boots to an black screen
[23:49] <stijn> I explain my problem over here put know one seems to know http://askubuntu.com/questions/236330/laptop-wont-boot-at-all
[23:50] <GeorgeJ> Should I be asking in #ubuntu-dev?
[23:50] <anonymous> Hm.
[23:50] <anonymous> So let me get this right.
[23:50] <anonymous> Nothing?
[23:51] <anonymous> Not even the normal BIOS boot display?
[23:51] <stijn> pardon?
[23:51] <dr_willis> Bios Messages -> grub menu -> Plymouth Splash -> Login screen.. :) where does it stop.
[23:51] <stijn> no, just black screen and noises thennit shutsdown in 5 sec
[23:52] <dr_willis> Hmm. Noises? like 3 or 5 beeps?
[23:52] <stijn> I turn on my laptop. I g
[23:52] <stijn> no, my cd drive i think
[23:53] <dr_willis> so the cd is clicking/looking for a disk. then the whole thing just powers down.
[23:53] <atlef> stijn, it seems you used wubi, maybe you should try to boot from the cd/usb to test it live first
[23:53] <stijn> I turn on my laptop. it gives me a black screen, no bar or text, no its not purple. shift doesnt work. then it shuts itself down 5sec later
[23:53] <stijn> yes i did
[23:54] <anonymous> I remember using Wubi as an Ubuntu noob...*shiver*.
[23:54] <anonymous> Never again.
[23:54] <Goldwing> exit
[23:54] <Goldwing> oops
[23:54] <anonymous> Abandon ship?
[23:54]  * anonymous waves
[23:54] <ikonia> anonymous: do you need/want something ?
[23:54] <dr_willis> A live cd does work?
[23:54] <jhutchins_wk> stijn: Bad RAM, bad hard disk, possibly bad video.
[23:54] <stijn> haha alright. ill try an usb tomorrow
[23:55] <anonymous> You can't try a USB unless you can get to the BIOS, as jhut says, it's probably a hardware failure.
[23:55] <blackline> jhutchins_wk, actually i just realized one thing when it comes to the extracting of rar files.
[23:55] <jhutchins_wk> stijn: stijn If you're not seeing the BIOS it's serious hardware.
[23:55] <anonymous> Coincidence, I'm causing...
[23:55] <stijn> did you see my post at askubuntu? http://askubuntu.com/questions/236330/laptop-wont-boot-at-all
[23:55] <anonymous> It just so happened to occur at this time, unrelated to Wubi, Wubi still sucks though.
[23:55] <stijn> I have an link to my laptops spec over there
[23:56] <anonymous> guessing*
[23:56] <jhutchins_wk> stijn: If there are any easy-to-access components you can try re-seating them, and pay attention to the sounds the HD makes when you turned it on.
[23:56] <blackline> jhutchins_wk, it seems the issue was never the File Roller+unrar-nonfree - The files I tried to unrar where on  a network drive but when I moved them locally to my hard drive there was no issue unraring them. Had the same issue with Peazip. So it's actually trying to unrar from the samba share that isn't working.
[23:56] <blami> jhutchins_wk: but still it would at least boot to bios screen even with broken hdd
[23:57] <blami> stijn: do you have ac connected to your laptop? (in case battery is dead)
[23:57] <stijn> I have, its fuly charged
[23:57] <blami> stijn: what kind of laptop is it?
[23:58] <stijn> my laptop http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/notebook/0000/Acer/Aspire5735Z/Aspire5735Zsp3.shtml
[23:58] <anonymous> Hm, try removing the battery, then booting without it.
[23:58] <anonymous> It's perfectly safe.
[23:58] <stijn> booting without the battery? lol
[23:59] <Transhumanist> You should unplug the battery when you're using mains and the battery is charged anyway
[23:59] <anonymous> Yep, I do it all the time.
[23:59] <stijn> lol ill try i guess. nothing to lose
[23:59] <Transhumanist> I think modern laptops have circuits to try and prevent battery overcharging, but it's easy and safest (in terms of minimising electricity consumption and battery degradation) to just use mains without the battery in.
