[00:00] <TimeRider_UK> BroUnicorn : not sure if'll help, but http://lifehacker.com/5934942/how-to-dual-boot-linux-on-your-mac-and-take-back-your-powerhouse-apple-hardware looks like it describes your situation
[00:00] <Xeago> with proper port forwarding I cannot access it from wan
[00:00] <Xeago> ufw is disabled and iptables -L gives empty tables
[00:00] <tekk> ok, thanks for the advice, besides plugging in various dongles to different machines, can you recommend some kind of  multiple dongles to a single wifi device that is purchasable?
[00:00] <ubuntu-tester1> ero-jiji: sorry, chmod -R o+r /path/to/folder
[00:00] <ero-jiji> @ubuntu-tester1 thanks, never thought of that /smacks head
[00:02] <slowwritespeed> am so confused, in gpart, there is like amiga, sun, loop, pc98, msdos, gpt, etc and i dont know which one to do
[00:02] <ubuntu-tester1> Xeago: how are you trying and what's output
[00:02] <tekk> slowwritespeed, depends on the use/purpose etc
[00:02] <tekk> got or msdos are the 2 to focus on
[00:02] <ubuntu-tester1> slowwritespeed: it depends on purpose
[00:02] <tekk> gpt*
[00:03] <slowwritespeed> microSD -  installing ubuntu , persistent storage
[00:03] <orbitwhite> tekk, there r solutions that used as voip gateways, like for example http://www.addpac.com/addpac_eng2/addpac_product_view_detail.php?class_id=100001&item_id=706 but i don't know anything beyond that it exists
[00:03] <slowwritespeed> I just wanna format it from FAT to ext4..
[00:03] <tekk> thanks guys
[00:03] <slowwritespeed> do I even need to do this?
[00:03] <tekk> slowwritespeed, is it a boot drive or secondary?
[00:03] <ubuntu-tester1> slowwritespeed: FAT32 i think
[00:03] <tekk> if secondary i'd recommend GPT
[00:04] <tekk> if modern hardware i'd recommend GPT all the way...
[00:04] <TheNoobyPro> h
[00:04] <tekk> msdos as fdisk likes to call it… doesn't really support modern features of disks and modern use cases
[00:05] <Xeago> basically ssh from another network doesn't work
[00:05] <slowwritespeed> the problem is... it doesn't matter what i do.. whenever i format to anything.. I go to startup disc utility thing in ubuntu...and it wants me to erase disc...and everytime i do.. goes back to FAT @_@ .........
[00:05] <TheNoobyPro> Hi, I'm experiencing a bit of a problem with Ubuntu. I have a lot of lag when opening the Dash Home. I don't know if it's my GPU, it's an old GeForce 7300 LE, but I've used it on Linux Mint and it performs well.
[00:05] <Xeago> ssh from local network (via another host on the network) without problems
[00:05] <ubuntu-tester1> Xeago: tomeout?
[00:05] <Xeago> time-out yes
[00:05] <tekk> slowwritespeed, are you using ubuntu server or desktop?
[00:05] <ubuntu-tester1> Xeago: *timeout
[00:05] <slowwritespeed> desktop
[00:05] <slowwritespeed> 32bit
[00:05] <wagle> 12.10, connecting to samba server.  if I click on "homes", it doesn't let me specify a loginname/password to try logging in as?  how do i get it to work like macosx and win7?
[00:05] <ubuntu-tester1> Xeago: ping?
[00:05] <orbitwhite> i'm just curious if anyone used to boot from microsd card blugged into usb reader adapter dongle
[00:06] <ubuntu-tester1> Xeago: router ping?
[00:06] <tekk> slowwritespeed, try launching gparted, its a nice visual interface to parted etc… makes life a bit easy, under the menu you'll find Device -> Create Partition Table
[00:06] <tekk> from there you can create new partitions and format them to ext4 or your desired fs
[00:06] <Xeago> I don't forward ping, I can ping the router locally (disabled at wan) pinging the broadcast does not include the host, pinging the ip directly does include the host
[00:06] <ubuntu-tester1> orbitwhite: i did, what's a problem
[00:07] <Xeago> (e.g. ping <IP_ADDRESS> only shows me, <IP_ADDRESS> shows ubuntu host)
[00:07] <slowwritespeed> and please don't tell me to do terminal commands, it never works :p...and I know my passward... whenever i installing apps from ubuntu store and it asks for password.. it always works... but when i do a sudo command it terminal...and it asks for password and enter it... always says incorrect :/
[00:07] <Xeago> and the router responds at lan just fine aswell
[00:07] <tekk> slowwritespeed, gparted should be available from the menu… and i hate to say it, but if you're scared of terminal commands… perhaps you shouldn't be using ubuntu
[00:08] <slowwritespeed> tekk: but is Creating a Partition Table neccessary? Can ext4 work on msdos parition or no?
[00:08] <orbitwhite> ubuntu-tester1, i tried it once and the problem is that grub didn't start for some reason while it was "somewhat properly installed", maybe dongle itself was a problem?
[00:08] <tekk> slowwritespeed, yes it can, but if you have a larger than 2.5tb drive, you'll experience strange behaviour depending on your spin of ext4
[00:08] <orbitwhite> maybe u could tell which one u were using so i could remember it just in case
[00:08] <tekk> but creating a partition table isn''t a big deal
[00:09] <ubuntu-tester1> Xeago: check if sshd is really listening on the port
[00:09] <Xeago> I can connect to it fine from other hosts in the network
[00:09] <playonlinux_need> Heyas
[00:09] <playonlinux_need> Can anybody help me with a question on an error when trying to use the program playonlinux?
[00:09] <slowwritespeed> k... maybe its not the format thats giving me issue.. but installing ubuntu on SD...how? what tool? i think the startup utility giving me issues.. no matter what i do in gpart.
[00:09] <ikonia> the playonlinux guys can help
[00:09] <ubuntu-tester1> orbitwhite: some BIOSes can't boot from secondary USB devices
[00:09] <ikonia> it's a comercial product
[00:10] <playonlinux_need> Oh ok. Can I find them here on IRC?
[00:10] <ikonia> or is it?
[00:10] <Xeago> I think playonlinux is just a wine wrapper
[00:10] <tekk> you wanna install ubuntu on an SD card?
[00:10] <orbitwhite> ubuntu-tester1, maybe it is the case, but it was on a list like of that "f8 menu" where u pick the boot device lol
[00:10] <tekk> booting from that will depend on your BIOS/efi and also… it'll be shit slow
[00:10] <ikonia> sorry, I was thinking of crossover
[00:10] <JonEdney> playonlinux_need, try #playonlinux
[00:11] <playonlinux_need> Alright, thanks JonEdney :)
[00:11] <ubuntu-tester1> slowwritespeed: if you won't insist on ext4, things will go smoother...
[00:11] <orbitwhite> tekk, nope just was curious to have bootloader on microsd card
[00:11] <tekk> well you can orbitwhite… but its not gonna be great
[00:11] <tekk> if you wanna run ubuntu on some portable flash
[00:11] <tekk> then get a fast(ish) usb 3.0 thumb drive
[00:12] <tekk> microsd and the likes have really bad IOPS
[00:12] <sebastiansam55> what is a current audacity like program?
[00:12] <orbitwhite> tekk, i want to carry my bootloader and keys for luks-encrypted instance on microsd
[00:12] <AndChat504> Can some one please help me, i need to add nomodeset into grub... i can only boot into grub and i dont know to to work it
[00:12] <orbitwhite> thats all
[00:12] <tekk> ah, shouldn't be an issue then
[00:12] <sebastiansam55> or is audacity still one of the better ones around?
[00:12] <tekk> but BIOS dependent of course
[00:12] <ubuntu-tester1> orbitwhite: yes it may be in the list but not boot. i have two laptops an one boots and the other not
[00:12] <tekk> most do IDE emulation for SD
[00:12] <komputes> SebastianFlyte: what does it lack?
[00:12] <orbitwhite> sd won't fit, my sd port depends on firmware
[00:12] <komputes> sebastiansam55: : what does it lack?
[00:13] <orbitwhite> so it doesn't work at that state when everything boots up
[00:13] <sebastiansam55> well i don't know i was wondering if there were any better programs than audacity
[00:13] <orbitwhite> i guess ubuntu-tester1 is right and its just a bios issue because i'm 100% sure grub was installed correctly on that microsd i tried
[00:13] <sebastiansam55> really have no idea bout this stuff seeing if anyone here knew bout anythin
[00:13] <AndChat504> Can someone help me edit grub from inside of grub
[00:13] <orbitwhite> another reason could be that chinese usb dongle as microsd card reader adapter
[00:14] <tekk> orbitwhite, if booting with the card reader connected and card present, does it show up in your BIOS as a boot device / hard drive?
[00:14] <iceroot> AndChat504: press "e" when you are on an entry in the grub menu, after that press "b" to press the changed line
[00:14] <iceroot> !grub2 | AndChat504
[00:14] <ubuntu-tester1> slowwritespeed: it may also depend on SD size. smaller ones have more chances i guess
[00:14] <orbitwhite> tekk, yup
[00:14] <tekk> orbitwhite, you should be able to load your boot loader from it then
[00:14] <tekk> and point it to a physical hard disk
[00:15] <orbitwhite> but even hardware id is different to microsd card itself because there is another supah adapter that shows ids for cards that plugged
[00:15] <tekk> hkmm
[00:15] <orbitwhite> so it makes me think that dongle could be a problem otherwise its a bios issue
[00:15] <tekk> yeah, one characteristic of the SD spec is… not all readers follow it properly
[00:15] <tekk> heh
[00:15] <orbitwhite> as mentioned above
[00:15] <tekk> if you buy say…   I need to add "quite splash nomodeset"
[00:16] <orbitwhite> as far as i've seen
[00:16] <tekk> but if using got won't the label come from the bytes in partition table rather than hardware?
[00:16] <tekk> im not sure
[00:17] <orbitwhite> ubuntu-tester1, tried 64mb one =)
[00:17] <AndChat504> Iceroot: i dont even know where to begin inside of grub
[00:17] <ubuntu-tester1> Xeago: then it must be a router problem
[00:17] <tekk> anyways, netflix time for me
[00:17] <tekk> ciao
[00:17] <orbitwhite> good luck =)
[00:18] <Sgt_Shultz> tekk & or Orbitwhite , Can u make a ubuntu "tiny" install like dslinux ? (damm small linux) that will run off a 64 meg usb ..key
[00:19] <ubuntu-tester1> Xeago: check forwarding setup, remove and re-add it, try another port
[00:19] <orbitwhite> Sgt_Shultz, i was never curious
[00:19] <orbitwhite> Sgt_Shultz, just need a bootloader stored in there and working
[00:19] <tekk> Sgt_Shultz, with a very custom kernel and a lot of stuff stripped back… maybe… but probably not.
[00:19] <orbitwhite> microsd is destroyed easily and cozy to carry lol
[00:20] <orbitwhite> smartcard for dummies and anti evil-maid thing
[00:20] <AndChat504> Orbitwhite: can you pointout how to add "quite splash nomodeset" to grub file from inside of grub
[00:20] <wagle> ubuntu 12.10 (and 10.04).. if I click on homes, it doesnt allow me to specify username and password, it just tries to login as the username I'm logged into on the ubuntu box. how to fix?
[00:21] <wagle> oops, thats sambda
[00:21] <orbitwhite> AndChat504, im afraid of grub and i do everything reading manpages lol
[00:21] <ubuntu-tester1> wagle: samba shares?
[00:21] <orbitwhite> so i'm not a good advisor for sensitive cases
[00:21] <Sgt_Shultz> i was i am playing with the ardrone it 128meg ram, 1gig data, pc, really but a tight version of linux is needed, that is what i am looking for ...
[00:21] <wagle> ubuntu-tester1: samba home dir
[00:21] <wagle> works on win7 and macosx
[00:21] <AndChat504> I dont think it hard i just have no clue about grub
[00:21] <ubuntu-tester1> wagle: on the network?
[00:22] <wagle> network file server
[00:22] <AndChat504> Kinda dead in the water no pc on phone
[00:23] <orbitwhite> AndChat504, i assume its somewhat not possible
[00:23] <orbitwhite> but i'm kinda newb
[00:23] <AndChat504> Lol 4 real?
[00:23] <orbitwhite> at least to make permanent change
[00:23] <AndChat504> Im pretty sure its possible
[00:24] <orbitwhite> to grub configuration
[00:24] <Hunter>  HRB WAR REPORT 13-13-13 => http://pastebin.com/vHkssVAJ
[00:24] <iceroot> AndChat504: /etc/default/grub
[00:24] <Hunter>  HRB WAR REPORT 13-15-13 => http://pastebin.com/LygzDmLH
[00:24] <AndChat504> Or not even prement i just need to be able to boot into ubuntu 1 at least
[00:24] <iceroot> AndChat504: for permanent changes on grub
[00:24] <orbitwhite> oh
[00:24] <iceroot> AndChat504: and to edit the current config use "e" on the line you want to boot as i already said
[00:25] <AndChat504> Installed gpu drive now booting into black screen
[00:25] <orbitwhite> AndChat504, could u please remind what is the problem exactly, because iceroot already told how its done
[00:26] <iceroot> !nomodeset | AndChat504
[00:26] <AndChat504> So"e /etc/default/grub" from inside grub?
[00:26] <iceroot> AndChat504: press "e" on the line when you are in grub to change in (e)dit mode
[00:26] <orbitwhite> "e" itself allows to edit boot params
[00:26] <iceroot> AndChat504: also read the link from ubottu
[00:27] <orbitwhite> config is something u will edit after it will be loaded
[00:27] <orbitwhite> adter what u will apply changes to grub instance
[00:27] <orbitwhite> according to this config
[00:30] <hackeron> is there a defacto standard ffmpeg repository for a bleeding edge ffmpeg version?
[00:30] <ubuntu-tester1> wagle: check if username/password for this share is stored in Passwords and Keys
[00:30] <iceroot> !ppa | hackeron
[00:31] <hackeron> iceroot: I saw that, but searching for ffmpeg shows like a 100 repositories, lol - is there a way to see the one that has been frequently supported the longest?
[00:31] <AndChat504> Duh im stupid thought i needed to be in grub terminal ty
[00:31] <ubuntu-tester1> hackeron: 'bleeding edge' comes only from source i guess
[00:32] <hackeron> ubuntu-tester1: I'm looking for something that is nightly or compiled every few days
[00:32] <iceroot> AndChat504: no problem, you are welcome
[00:32] <orbitwhite> hackeron, they got their own git
[00:32] <orbitwhite> if it fits
[00:33] <iceroot> hackeron: http://ffmpeg.org/download.html  ->  FFmpeg Ubuntu packages for Precise, Oneiric, Natty, Maverick, and Lucid (amd64, i386) are available at Jon Severinsson's FFmpeg PPA.
[00:33] <hackeron> orbitwhite: they got their own ubuntu repository?
[00:33] <hackeron> iceroot: ah, thanks, so Jon Severinsson
[00:33] <iceroot> hackeron: they even have ther own ppa
[00:33] <orbitwhite> hackeron, git is always the very latest thing
[00:33] <ubuntu-tester1> hackeron: Jon Severinsson's ppa is mentioned on off site, so check how often it updates
[00:34] <hackeron> orbitwhite: iceroot: ubuntu-tester1: thanks, that's perfect :)
[00:35] <hackeron> orbitwhite: iceroot: ubuntu-tester1: seems very outdated, over 2 months old :( - don't even have the segment stuff
[00:35] <ubuntu-tester1> iceroot: simple googling gives 85% of answers :)
[00:36] <ubuntu-tester1> hackeron: but not 100% unfortunately :)
[00:36] <hackeron> ubuntu-tester1: the commit I care about was 5 weeks ago, heh, Jon Severinsson's ppa is 9 weeks old :(
[00:36] <orbitwhite> git is the very latest thing
[00:36] <hackeron> orbitwhite: git won't build
[00:36] <orbitwhite> oh
[00:36] <Guest87571> can someone help me with a question?
[00:36] <orbitwhite> thats the price
[00:36] <orbitwhite> lol
[00:36] <hackeron> orbitwhite: did a few days ago, heh
[00:37] <Sgt_Shultz> May I ask for clue where to look next, my cursor, Its driving me nuts, Its a wandering cursor it keeps leaving & moving while I type, I looked @ focus, and keyboard but can't seem to fix the problem, any ideas ?
[00:37] <hackeron> orbitwhite: right, so I'm looking for a PPA that's reasonable up to date (5 weeks ago is fine), heh
[00:37] <ubuntu-tester1> hackeron: email Jon
[00:37] <hackeron> not a bad idea
[00:38] <Guest87571> why does it freeze up when i try to exit solaitire?
[00:38] <orbitwhite> it wants u to stop gambling i suspect
[00:38] <qwiksilver711> how to add something to my boot commands?
[00:39] <qwiksilver711> specifically usb.autosuspend-0
[00:39] <Guest87571> not gambeling
[00:39] <qwiksilver711> specifically usb.autosuspend=0 sorry
[00:39] <bentinata> qwiksilver711, I don't know
[00:39] <ubuntu-tester1> Sgt_Shultz: known problem with some mices. observed it on many times windows but never on ubuntu
[00:39] <bentinata> qwiksilver711, but AFAIK, you can put it on log in
[00:39] <ero-jiji> @ubuntu-tester1 got everything working, thanks again
[00:40] <qwiksilver711> how
[00:40] <hackeron> ubuntu-tester1: emailed jon :P
[00:40] <ubuntu-tester1> ero-jiji: you're welcome
[00:40] <wagle> ubuntu-tester1: nothing in passwords and keys (fresh 12.10 install)
[00:41] <phunyguy> ugh... I can't get this PC to get a DHCP lease.  I have link lights, AND activity, and all the rest of the systems are operating normally.
[00:41] <phunyguy> network manager just waits, and waits, and then says disconnected.
[00:41] <bentinata> just put your script in /etc/init.d
[00:41] <Sgt_Shultz> ubuntu-tester1,  thanks ill research that by changing, mice see if it works
[00:41] <qwiksilver711> bentinata: how
[00:42] <harris> how do i add google plus app to mail notification applet dr_willis
[00:42] <ubuntu-tester1> phunyguy: check logs
[00:43] <orbitwhite> qwiksilver711, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[00:43] <orbitwhite> i guess its time to bookmark it already lol
[00:43] <phunyguy> ubuntu-tester1, I have a hunch that it is cable/switch related
[00:44] <xangua> harris: enable mail notifications in google+ :P
[00:44] <ubuntu-tester1> phunyguy: try static config
[00:44] <harris> xangua,  no in the mail notificaition appler
[00:44] <harris> *applet
[00:46] <ubuntu-tester1> orbitwhite: ubottu knows 'boot'
[00:46] <orbitwhite> ubuntu-tester1, the problem is that i don't know ubottu lol
[00:46] <xangua> harris: configure google+ to send you mail notifications :P
[00:47] <harris> add how
[00:47] <ubuntu-tester1> orbitwhite: meet it: http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi
[00:47] <xangua> ooh you mean the message indicator, you mean you add the webapp harris ¿
[00:47] <orbitwhite> ubuntu-tester1, thx

[00:47] <harris> identicator
[00:48] <Sgt_Shultz> !triggers
[00:48] <harris> and i use 12.04 so i have the app
[00:48] <harris> not webapp
[00:51] <fishscene> Greetings! Where should I go to ask about Ubuntu one? It isn't synchronizing properly on my Mac.
[00:51] <Mrokii> Hello. What could be the reason that my usb webcam isn't detected by the system or the usb-hub? It has been working just some days ago...
[00:52] <ubuntu-tester1> fishscene: at #ubuntuone
[00:52] <fishscene> Thanks
[00:53] <orbitwhite> Mrokii, is it dead? =)
[00:53] <phunyguy> ubuntu-tester1, I can try static config but it is not ideal.  Syslog tells me that the DHCPOFFER comes in, but then i get a DHCP timeout after that
[00:54] <ubuntu-tester1> Mrokii: pastebin what appears in syslog in 30 sec after plugging it in
[00:54] <phunyguy> and then it cancels DHCP request
[00:55] <ubuntu-tester1> Mrokii: sorry, was intended for phunyguy
[00:55] <AndChat504> Iceroot: u still there?
[00:55] <ubuntu-tester1> Mrokii: sorry again, was for you ^)
[00:56] <phunyguy> ubuntu-tester1, static config works fine, just the finishing stages of DHCP fails.
[00:56] <phunyguy> I am afraid I cannot pastebin from that machine :(
[00:56] <ubuntu-tester1> phunyguy: ok, network itself is fine
[00:57] <phunyguy> ubuntu-tester1, yes.  No other devices fail to receive an IP, but the reason I suspect hardware still, is I used to have a PC plugged into that port which did the exact same thing, just once in a while, not all the time.
[00:57] <phunyguy> such an odd issue.
[00:57] <orbitwhite> and why settin it manually is not an option?
[00:58] <phunyguy> I think I am going to get in my attic this weekend and run another cat5e cable, but this time to my wifi AP, which has a 4 port switch as well.  That way I can make that the main switch for the house, and I KNOW that one works fine.
[00:58] <phunyguy> orbitwhite, never said it wasn't an option, just not ideal.
[00:58] <orbitwhite> oh ok
[00:59] <phunyguy> also it seems to pick up a different IP on the lease when it tries and fails
[00:59] <phunyguy> got a million entries on the lease table on my router
[00:59] <ubuntu-tester1> phunyguy: may be watching tcpdump will give a clue
[01:00] <tony1>  how can i fix this problem.... while installing mysql, i got this messege on terminal        mysqld: Can't change dir to '/var/lib/mysql/' (Errcode: 2)
[01:00] <ubuntu-tester1> phunyguy: maybe router table got overloaded
[01:01] <ashamed> Hi! I'm pretty new to Linux and IRC. Is it okay to ask how to get context menus in 12.04?
[01:01] <Hans_Henrik> question, why is pastebinit_1.3-2ubuntu3_all.deb  's default pastebinit   paste.debian.org  ? (when there is a paste.ubuntu.com  :p )
[01:01] <orbitwhite> tony1, is it the case? http://superuser.com/questions/173179/how-to-install-mysql-on-ubuntu-10
[01:02] <phunyguy> ubuntu-tester1, I doubt that.  It is a full on security appliance
[01:02] <phunyguy> not a home router
[01:02] <orbitwhite> first link on google
[01:02] <Mrokii> orbitwhite: How should I know?
[01:02] <memand> would someone write me a msg, I need to test something?
[01:02] <ubuntu-tester1> !ask | ashamed
[01:02] <dr_willis> ashamed: theres a nautilus scripting feature that may do what you want
[01:02] <ashamed> dr_willis: link, please?
[01:03] <dr_willis> ashamed: it adds right ckick items to files
[01:03] <Hans_Henrik> is there any alternative to pastebinit  btw?
[01:03] <Hans_Henrik> having issues with it.. it fails "echo test | pastebinit"  for example x.x
[01:03] <dr_willis> ashamed: no idea. it has a site of examples
[01:03] <Mrokii> ubuntu-tester1: How exactly do I check the syslog?
[01:03] <tony1> orbitwhite my case is the same
[01:04] <tony1> u right
[01:04] <ashamed> dr_willis, the issue is more that many HP laptops don't register the right-click. I'm thinking that there's some kind of key-combo click you can do instead?
[01:04] <ashamed> Like, on a Mac, it's ctrl-click.
[01:04] <Midec> I'm performing a clean install of ubuntu 12.04 and i have some questions regarding partitions.  I know i need to have a '/ partition' and a 'swap partition', what do i do with the rest of the HDD(i will only be using linux, will not be dual booting)  please  and thank you.
[01:04] <dr_willis> ashamed: thats a totally different thing then.
[01:04] <orbitwhite> tony1, google halps in most cases, use it ;)
[01:04] <memand> !ask | memand
[01:04] <Hans_Henrik> afaik, a swap partition is optional :o
[01:05] <Hans_Henrik> (but often recommended)
[01:05] <dr_willis> swap is optional... but reccomend
[01:05] <qwiksilver711> all nvidia drivers are current and ubuntu doesnt detect my display thats running through hdmi
[01:05] <ashamed> dr_willis: I just want to make the context menus show up. It doesn't matter if I right click to do it, or ctrl-click to do it... I just need to know how to do it.
[01:06] <ubuntu-tester1> Mrokii: in terminal, run tail -f /var/log/syslog, plug the camera, wait, press Ctrl+C in terminal, copy output
[01:06] <Midec> well I have 500 gb, how should i allocate it?  i have 4gb ram, so im going to allocate 8024mb to swap, and i read online to put roughly 10-25gb into the / partition, what do i do with the rest of it? leave it as free space?
[01:06] <dr_willis> ashamed: id say check askubuntu.com
[01:06] <ubuntu-tester1> Mrokii: paste to pastebin, not here
[01:06] <ashamed> Will do. But... how do YOU get context menus?
[01:07] <dr_willis> ashamed:  i just right  click...
[01:07] <ashamed> dr_willis: OK, thanks! So there's no secret combo... I just need to troubleshoot.
[01:07] <ashamed> I'll try your suggestion, thanks!
[01:08] <ubuntu-tester1> Midec: alocate and mount it to /home
[01:09] <ubuntu-tester1> Midec: or leave unallocated to have some flexibility in the future
[01:09] <Mrokii> ubuntu-tester1: There isn't much to paste. I think the relevant line may be this one: Jan 16 02:09:01 stephan udevd[28962]: timeout: killing 'mtp-probe /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/usb1/1-1/1-1.4/1-1.4.4 1 60' [5113
[01:09] <ubuntu-tester1> !pastebin | Mrokii
[01:11] <tony1> i'll try your suggestion, thanks!
[01:11] <Mrokii> ubuntu-tester1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1536140/
[01:12] <ubuntu-tester1> Mrokii: please grab more lines, from the time before you plugged it
[01:13] <ubuntu-tester1> Mrokii: (scroll console up)
[01:16] <ubuntu-tester1> Mrokii: sorry, didn't notice timestamps. have you tried rebooting?
[01:17] <Mrokii> No, haven't tried rebooting yet.
[01:17] <Mrokii> Guess I'll try.
[01:18] <ubuntu-tester1> Mrokii: try then. seems like udevd had some problem and got stuck
[01:18] <Mrokii> ubuntu-tester1: Okay, thanks. I'll see.
[01:19] <Quinn_> Hello everyone
[01:19] <ubuntu-tester1> Quinn_: hi
[01:19] <Quinn_> I'd like to test out the propietary driver for my Radeon 6290 on Ubuntu 12.10 in a live USB environment. How can I do this?
[01:21] <orbitwhite> good question lol
[01:22] <Quinn_> Okay, if anyone knows, please let me know :)
[01:26] <schmitt953> hi, so I am installing a 12.10 ubuntu server guest in kvm, for some reason the bootloader loads but then the screen in the virtual terminal is just black
[01:26] <schmitt953> any ideas?
[01:26] <Midec> I'm doing a clean install of 12.04 and im currently setting up the partitions, I am going to put 8Gb into the swap, 25gb into the / folder, but what do I do with the rest of the space?  it's a 500gb HDD, so what do I do with the remaining 467gb of HDD?  leave it as free space?  (i will not be dual booting)
[01:27] <orbitwhite> Midec, what amount of ram ur machine has?
[01:27] <ubuntu-tester1> Midec: see my last answer
[01:27] <Midec> orbitwhite, 4gb, I read online that you should double that if you have the space
[01:28] <orbitwhite> u won't need such a huge swap in that case
[01:28] <orbitwhite> Midec, consider this rule as recommendation only, until its above 1gb
[01:28] <orbitwhite> 2G should be enough for sure i assume
[01:28] <schmitt953> sorry I did something dumb and suspended the laptop
[01:29] <Midec> ubuntu-tester1, ah gotcha, so allocate the rest as /home?
[01:29] <ubuntu-tester1> Midec: or leave unallocated if you don't need it now
[01:30] <orbitwhite> Midec, u can cut / to 12 gb and to map the rest of space for /home
[01:30] <orbitwhite> if u don't plan for dual-boot for sure
[01:30] <Midec> ubuntu-tester1, so i'll have 25Gb in  '/', 467Gb in '/home', and 8Gb in 'swap',   ?
[01:30] <Midec> orbitwhite, nope, if i need to use windows, i'll just run a VM
[01:30] <ubuntu-tester1> Midec: yes
[01:31] <orbitwhite> D:
[01:31] <Mrokii> ubuntu-tester1: Guess, the restart resolved the issue. Thanks again.
[01:32] <Midec> ubuntu-tester1, thank you so much, i just spent 5 hours trying to figure out why I had a 'input/output error during read on /dev/sda"  It was I had my HDD locked in bios, I cleared that and it solved it. I am exhausted. So again, thank you very much.
[01:32] <lee8oi> Whats the best say to set the menu on the top panel bar to always-visible?
[01:32] <ubuntu-tester1> !nox | schmitt953
[01:33] <ubuntu-tester1> Midec: :)
[01:34] <DudeFace> hi
[01:35] <DudeFace> Hello Everyone!
[01:35] <lee8oi> really wish my menu would stay visible.... I had hoped dconf would provide an answer.

[01:43] <psusi> I started getting an RSI recently.. I didn't get high ( well, one night when the pain was keeping me up )..  Unity have much, much to improve on usabilty
[01:48] <lee8oi> is the compiz stable in Unity? if I use ccsm to configure things?
[01:49] <_helios_> lee8oi, it just depends.  I have had problems with it before
[01:49]  * lee8oi says a prayer and dives in.
[01:49] <ubuntu-tester1> lee8oi: that option is missing in current Unity settings, just have checked

[01:52] <xangua> !ops | DudeFace
[01:52] <dr_willis> its yiyr fault for faiiling to be helpfull.
[01:53] <_helios_> ty bazhang
[01:53] <lee8oi> well, I can see unity is making strides of improvement. But I'm sad I can't make that menu bar stay visible. Its a deal breaker because its annoying that I can't see it.
[01:54] <_helios_> lee8oi, what menu bar?
[01:54] <dr_willis> lee8oi:  what menu bar are you refering to
[01:54] <lee8oi> top one
[01:54] <_helios_> lee8oi, it should be staying visible.
[01:54] <lee8oi> the one that you gotta hover to see
[01:54] <lee8oi> not the panel, the menu
[01:54] <dr_willis> You wan tto always see the  file.. open .. settings.. type menu entriss?
[01:54] <lee8oi> window menus
[01:54] <lee8oi> yea
[01:54] <psusi> that and the fact that even non maximized windows get their menu sucked up there, and you can't minimize windows by clicking the icon on the dock... very annoying
[01:55] <dr_willis> lee8oi:  its designed to hide them, so you can see the actual window title.
[01:55] <_helios_> lee8oi, it does that because all menus from other applications are integrated into the top menu like on a mac os.
[01:55] <dr_willis> check into global menu tweaks/settings perhaps
[01:55] <ubuntu-tester1> lee8oi: pressing Alt+F or Alt+H can be a palliative
[01:55] <lee8oi> there's enough room for both
[01:55] <psusi> can see the actual window title at the top of the window for non maaximized windows
[01:55] <dr_willis> lee8oi:  not on my netbook
[01:55] <dr_willis> theres also ways to disable the global menu
[01:55] <lee8oi> I'd rather have the menu than the title anyways. I got the window for all that.
[01:56] <lee8oi> I don't need the title of the program to use it, just a launcher icon and a damn window menu
[01:56] <psusi> and actually unity doesn't show the title, just the name of the app, which is kind of silly too
[01:56] <_helios_> lee8oi, the menu will auto hide not just for the title but for other reasons, like when you switch an application etc.
[01:56] <psusi> at least for non maximized windows
[01:57] <lee8oi> Well its annoying. I'm going to see about putting Cinnamon on here. That's less annoying.
[01:57] <psusi> gnome-shell?
[01:57] <dr_willis> cinnamon can break your system.. good luck
[01:57] <lee8oi> break? ba
[01:57] <_helios_> I think it's a good idea to hide the menu until it is needed,  Actualy I love that that is why I switched back to Ubuntu from Xubuntu just for that reason...lol
[01:57] <psusi> it's a great idea... for maximized windows... sucks otherwise
[01:57] <lee8oi> you got used to it, but I use my menu's a lot
[01:57] <_helios_> lee8oi, if you switch to Xubuntu which is a good desktop manager it always shows menu's the old fashion way.
[01:58] <dr_willis> learn  to use the HUD if you use menus a lot. its designed to make menu access faster
[01:58] <psusi> HUD?
[01:58] <lee8oi> well yea I'm familiar with all the desktops. I mainly hopped back to ubuntu to stay with the gaming trends
[01:58] <dr_willis> the HUD iis an easyaly overlooked feature
[01:58] <dr_willis> !hud
[01:58] <lee8oi> I don't mind the hud, I just want the dam window menus to stay visible.
[01:58] <dr_willis> Hmm. no factoud. check out videos of it in use on youtube and the blog sites like webupd8 and omgubuntu
[01:59] <lee8oi> even back on the windows for all I care
[01:59] <dr_willis> lee8oi:   look in to the globasl menu tweaks and  perhaps disable it.. guides out there.
[01:59] <_helios_> lee8oi, switch to Xubuntu it has menu's always visible on the actual window.
[01:59] <sean_> i need girlfriends .
[01:59] <lee8oi> global menu? is that what its called?
[02:00] <lee8oi> get over the xubuntu :P
[02:00] <dr_willis> lee8oi:  yes.. ive been calling it the global menu for some time now. ;:)
[02:00] <_helios_> lee8oi, but you will loose all the eye candy of Ubuntu and it is sexy.
[02:00] <dr_willis> global menu can be disabled on a per app  basis, or competley
[02:00] <lee8oi> ok disabling global menu, thats my next step.
[02:00] <ubuntu-tester1> lee8oi: if you use it a lot, i bet you should remember it, top level at least :)
[02:00] <psusi> I just don't understand why they can't only use the global menu for maximized windows
[02:01] <dr_willis> let those menus mocvce around! :)
[02:01] <dr_willis> or jusst maxamize everything
[02:01] <dr_willis> !info maximus
[02:01] <psusi> I have a 27 inch wide screen monitor, why would I maximize everything? ;)
[02:02] <dr_willis> 27 - too tiny.. get 3 more monitors
[02:02] <jaimef> so why is miitool installed by default when it's been deprecated by ethtool, which is not?
[02:02] <sean_> I dont understand
[02:03] <ubuntu-tester1> dr_willis: i wonder how many people have single-threaded, single-windowed mind (no offence)
[02:03] <lee8oi> what the....am I seeing QT and GTK both in unity?
[02:03] <dr_willis> ubuntu-tester1:  theres 'task' focused peopel, then theres 'job' focused people.
[02:05] <Ziber> Hm. Free VPS, 3GB HD space. Sign-up so I get more space? http://chunkhost.com/r/charlie3892
[02:05] <dr_willis> Ziber:  pleese dont spam  stuf flike that.
[02:05] <Ziber> Not exactly spam. But okay.
[02:05] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: please, no
[02:06] <dr_willis> it is spam.
[02:06] <Ziber> It could be a way for people to learn about ubuntu, at literally no cost to them.
[02:06] <dr_willis> its not SUPPORT related so its spam in here..
[02:07] <Ziber> When I first started learning about Linux, I knew very little about paritioning so I was scared to do it on my own computer. I would've loved having a place to mess around with it.
[02:07] <dr_willis> !ot
[02:07] <dr_willis> Ziber:  experiment in virtualbox. its easier to deal with
[02:07] <lee8oi> fat lotta good that did. Some dudes idea of removing the menu was to remove the appmenu packages
[02:07] <lee8oi> menu still up there
[02:07] <Ziber> Speaking of support related, know about mysql-server package being broken in 12.04?
[02:08] <dr_willis> i belive the omgubuntu or webupd8 site had a guide on tweaking the 'global menu'
[02:08] <ikonia> in what way broken
[02:08] <Ziber> ikonia: Not starting, tables in mysql.* arriving corrupt.
[02:08] <_helios_> Alright guys I'll prob be on tomorrow ttyl ;)
[02:08] <BlackDalek> Speaking of support related..... Where in god's name do I find custom colour congifurations which Unity unfortunately imported from old gnome 2 custom colour config in my wife's PC when she upgraded from ubuntu  11.04 to 12.04?
[02:08] <lee8oi> I really hope Ikey gets the Solus desktop tweaks setup so we can use them in Ubuntu.
[02:08] <ikonia> Ziber: it's certainly not a broken package
[02:09] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: not actually free, paid in fb likes :)
[02:09] <Ziber> ikonia: I beg to differ.
[02:09] <Ziber> It seems to be very broken, freshly installed two 12.04 lts VMs, same issue with the package on both.
[02:09] <ikonia> Ziber: `lets see.......thousands of people install the same package, myself included, no problem, you install the package, it's got corrupt tables.....what do you think the problem is
[02:09] <ConGiun> hey guys
[02:09] <dr_willis> Its very likely its a issue with the VPN/VMS service
[02:10] <ikonia> Ziber: what makes you think the tables are corrupt ?
[02:10] <Ziber> ikonia: Other than syslog saying they were and running mysql with the option to ignore privleges saying that the host.MYI was not a valid format?
[02:10] <BlackDalek> I need to know how to remove custom colour configuration, because currently Unity wants to make all top of screen menus in black on black and icon text in black... Where do I find custom colour configs so I can delete them? I can find no way to change the font colours etc...
[02:11] <ikonia> Ziber: I suspect the syslog doesn't actually say the tables are corrupt,
[02:11] <Ziber> ikonia: One sec. I'll show you.
[02:11] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  used to be a tweaktool for that. but i caant recall if it was 'myunity' or some other named tool
[02:11] <ikonia> Ziber: and mysql will only run skipping grant tables if you tell it to, it does not fall back to it
[02:12] <Ben65> i'd vote the problem is either the user, or the host that receives payment in "likes"
[02:12] <lee8oi> hmm 'kubuntu-low-fat-settings' package
[02:12] <BlackDalek> dr_willis, already tried that - myunity has no options at all for configuring colours of a theme.
[02:12] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  perhapos it was gnome-tweak or in ubuntu-tweak. im not on a ubuntu box to look.
[02:12] <ubuntu-tester1> BlackDalek: system settings -> appearance -> theme
[02:13] <zebaszp> hey, does anyone know if/when Upstart will be replaced with systemd?
[02:13] <Ziber> ikonia: Yes, I know. I did it manually
[02:13] <dr_willis> zebaszp:  from what ive read. not for a few releases yet.
[02:13] <dr_willis> zebaszp:  but they have been known to get radical with non lts releases
[02:13] <BlackDalek> ubuntu-tester1, that is also equally useless... that only allows choice of theme, but no way to fix colours which were changed in gnome 2
[02:14] <zebaszp> dr_willis: hopefully 14.04 will be systemd?
[02:14] <Ben65> much too soon to speculate
[02:14] <lee8oi> Unity desperately needs configurability. These extra tools are cool but its getting messy having to search through multiple tools to tweak everything.
[02:14] <ikonia> zebaszp: it's not on the roadmap yet - so it's a pointless discussion
[02:14] <Ben65> lee8oi: thats why i don't use it
[02:14] <lee8oi> I'm installing kubuntu-desktop as we speak :)
[02:14] <zebaszp> I'm a little more anxious about Wayland, though, but I'd guess that's gonna take longer than a year
[02:14] <dr_willis> or go back to some default theme...
[02:15] <ubuntu-tester1> BlackDalek: if you change theme and change back, it get reset to default colors, no?
[02:15] <Ben65> nvidia isn't on board with wayland
[02:15] <zebaszp> I know
[02:15] <dr_willis> i find that often end user tweaking configurability - causes many of the issues
[02:15] <BlackDalek> What I really need to know if the location of customised theme colours because unity has obviously imported them from somewhere... so far no one seems to know where. I tried switching themes, but the messed up colour config seems to stick..
[02:16] <zebaszp> but for one thing, Gallium3D driver are quite something right now, and Nvidia's plans are far from predictable after this whole Steam on Linux thing
[02:16] <Ziber> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/f0S5LnYj
[02:16] <BlackDalek> ubuntu-tester1, no, it doesn't. :( customized colours are stuck
[02:16] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  in .config or .gnome* or .gtk*    would  be my guess.. look for files that are owned by root.. that can cause weird issues
[02:16] <dr_willis> BlackDalek:  such as a user not being able to change a setting
[02:16] <ikonia> Ziber: why are you not using the init script to run it
[02:16] <Ziber> ikonia: This is a freshly installed system, running 12.04 lts, installed yesterday.
[02:16] <ikonia> and why are you root
[02:16] <Ziber> ikonia: Because it doesn't run if I do that.
[02:17] <Ziber> ikonia: Because I wanted to run a few commands for which I'd need to sudo and running sudo -i was easier.
[02:17] <ikonia> InnoDB: The log sequence number in ibdata files does not match
[02:17] <ikonia> InnoDB: the log sequence number in the ib_logfiles!
[02:17] <ikonia> 130115 21:12:06  InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally!
[02:17] <ikonia> Ziber: the database was started - someone shut it down in a mess
[02:17] <ConGiun> wat problem
[02:17] <ikonia> Ziber: I would check the repository you are pulling mysql from, that is not ubuntu's mysql-server's package behaviour
[02:17] <Ziber> ikonia: I'm telling you, this was a freshly installed system, yesterday. I have not done anything to any part of the file system, save removing apparmor.
[02:17] <Ben65> should wipe all mysql stuff and re-do it properly
[02:18] <ikonia> Ziber: these vm's, what is the hypervisor
[02:18] <Ziber> ikonia: Xen.
[02:18] <Ziber> ikonia: Starting with /etc/init.d/mysql, syslog reports "init respawning too fast."
[02:18] <BlackDalek> what is .gtk directory stand for? Gnome... tool kit?
[02:19] <ikonia> Ziber: that sounds like another problem with your install
[02:19] <Ziber> ikonia: Rather "init: mysql respawning too fast, stopped".
[02:19] <ikonia> Ziber: I would look at the repositories you are using, that is not the behaviour of the ubuntu packages
[02:20] <Ziber> ikonia: How do I check that?
[02:20] <ikonia> !info mysql-server
[02:20] <ikonia> Ziber: looks at your repo sources
[02:20] <Ziber> /etc/apt/sources.list?
[02:20] <ikonia> !info mysql-server 12.04
[02:20] <ikonia> !info mysql-server precise,
[02:20] <ikonia> !info mysql-server precise
[02:21] <ikonia> Ziber: package version matches up from the current ubuntu repo package.
[02:21] <ikonia> Ziber: I'd watch the install process and see if anything is not downloaded properly
[02:21] <ikonia> also check the install logs / dpkg log see if there are any warnings
[02:22] <Ziber> ikonia: Alright, how do I safely remove everything and start over with the package?
[02:22] <ikonia> just purge the package
[02:23] <Ziber> ikonia: Does that actually remove the files?
[02:24] <Ziber> apparently not.
[02:24] <Ziber> Can I rm -rf /var/lib/mysql?
[02:25] <Ziber> ikonia: I purged it, can I safely rm -rf /var/lib/mysql?
[02:25] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: why not, purge does remove files
[02:25] <dr_willis>  look and see whats left in there?
[02:26] <Ziber> It doesn't remove files. Or it didn't. And installing it back didn't put the files back.
[02:26] <lee8oi> Wow....KDE is more responsive than Unity
[02:26] <Ziber> Thoughts?
[02:27] <schmitt953> ubottu: no luck
[02:27] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: show the files
[02:27] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: no luck :(
[02:27] <Ziber> ubuntu-tester1: Of?
[02:27] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: /var/lib/mysql
[02:28] <ubuntu-tester1> schmitt953: no luck with what
[02:28] <schmitt953> text only mode
[02:28] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: trying to make a 12.10 server for something using kvm
[02:28] <schmitt953> (qemu usermode)
[02:29] <Ziber> Well, I purged the package. After my purge, I rm -rf'd the directoy assuming reinstalling would bring them back. It didn't.
[02:29] <schmitt953> and the guest is not booting
[02:29] <zebaszp> i wanna try one of those ubottu commands, they look like a lot of fun :P
[02:29] <bazhang> !usage | zebaszp
[02:29] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester-1: does the ubuntu server installer support spice (qxl vga)
[02:30] <zebaszp> !botsnack
[02:30] <bazhang> zebaszp, do it with /msg ubottu
[02:30] <zebaszp> lol, this thing is full of surprises
[02:31] <Ziber> So uh... now what?
[02:31] <ubuntu-tester1> schmitt953: and grub?
[02:31] <schmitt953> I'm using the vanilla 12.10 iso install cd
[02:31] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: the bootloader loads
[02:31] <Ziber> Is there a way to get the files I need back in /var/lib/mysql?
[02:32] <ubuntu-tester1> schmitt953: what options listed in grub
[02:32] <schmitt953> I select english and it dies
[02:32] <lee8oi> Purging unity
[02:32] <schmitt953> well not dies, just gives me a black screen
[02:32] <Ziber> Anyone?
[02:32] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester-1: rebooting the guest
[02:33] <skinnymg1> hello everyone
[02:33] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: what files fom the package are missing, example?
[02:33] <schmitt953> Language options start
[02:33] <whoever> hi all, anyone using  or has used a trackball with ubuntu : I am looking at getting the kensington expert mouse, and would like  to know if I will have to make the left and right keys to get to work, or will I need to create some mouse config file to get the keys to function propperly
[02:33] <schmitt953> going to text mode
[02:33] <schmitt953> I type help and I get the options
[02:33] <Ziber> ubuntu-tester1: /var/lib/mysql/*. I rm -rf'd that directory after the purge, no files were put back there after the install.
[02:34] <dr_willis> whoever:  the other day i noticed the arch linux wiki poages had some neat guides for a lot of the obscure mice and other input devices.  i learned a few tweaks to use on ubuntu from it. ;)
[02:34] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: would acpi be a reason for it hanging
[02:35] <dr_willis> Ziber:  many packages/servers have a server package, then a config/data package with the support files
[02:35] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: and what should be there? list package contents, i don't have one
[02:35] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: dpkg -L |grep '/var/lib'
[02:35] <whoever> dr_willis: the wikki off the home page  or some wikki articule barried within ? thx, and got a link
[02:35] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: trying acpi=off
[02:36] <dr_willis> whoever:  i just use the arch linux wiki search, or googles search
[02:36] <cfhowlett> whoever, suggest you search kensington+trackball+ubuntu
[02:36] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: trying install text
[02:36] <Ziber> dr_willis: Can't find the config/data package for mysql server
[02:36] <whoever> dr_willis: thx, cfhowlett thx
[02:36] <ubuntu-tester1> schmitt953: sorry, don't know much about qemu
[02:36] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: no luck :(
[02:36] <schmitt953> alright
[02:37] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: know any reason that the installcd should fail to boot
[02:37] <Ziber> So, mysql-server data/config package?
[02:38] <ubuntu-tester1> schmidtm: oh, do you boot from cd image or vhd?
[02:39] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: I think it's an issue with audio and acpi
[02:40] <ubuntu-tester1> schmitt953: not likely, since text mode don't work either
[02:40] <Guest38758> hey. I'm somewhat new to ubuntu, can anyone point me in a direction for multitouch gestures?
[02:40] <Ziber> Guest38758: natural scrolling.
[02:40] <Ziber> I think it's a package.
[02:40] <Ziber> !info naturalscrolling
[02:40] <Guest38758> I tried touchegg but I don't think it supports the touchpad i have
[02:40] <Ziber> !info natural-scrolling
[02:40] <Ziber> !search natural scrolling
[02:41] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: I'll let you know in a second
[02:41] <pac1> I'm having trouble with the 12.10 install disk.  It won't go beyond the first screen.
[02:41] <Ziber> Oh, interesting. Purge mysql-server-5.5. Reinstall. "Unable to set password for root mysql user."
[02:42] <cfhowlett> pac1, hardware?
[02:42] <pac1> same hardware I installed every previous ubuntu.
[02:42] <cfhowlett> pac1, OK.  did you checksum your iso?
[02:42] <pac1> yes
[02:42] <pac1> the download anyway.
[02:43] <Guest38758> i don't think i can get natural scrolling
[02:43] <pac1> how to checksum the disk.
[02:43] <cfhowlett> pac1, and you're doing a clean install from USB?
[02:43] <pac1> clean install from dvd
[02:43] <Ziber> So, anyone wanna try helping me with mysql?
[02:44] <cfhowlett> pac1, we had a case recently where the ram had silently failed that sounds somewhat similar.  Suggest you do a hardware diagnostic.  Memtest for instance.
[02:44] <zebaszp> Ziber, did you install mysql-server from a deb package?
[02:44] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: i realy didn't get what files are you searching for
[02:45] <Ziber> zebaszp: apt-get install mysql-server-5.5
[02:45] <gormanator> Anyone here have any multitouch gestures suggestions
[02:45] <zebaszp> Ziber: try running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5"
[02:45] <ghs> I'm with problem with the Eclipse. See the log: http://pastebin.com/PJvSEwYg How to fix that ?
[02:45] <Ziber> ubuntu-tester1: there are supposed to be files in /var/lib/mysql with table information and such, for the tables in the mysql database.
[02:45] <gormanator> i don't mean to repeat myself so I apologize, I just thought it would be clearer with a username attatched to me
[02:46] <Ziber> zebaszp: "mysql-server-5.5 is broken or not fully installed."
[02:47] <pac1> Ziber do you have databases you are trying to preserve?
[02:47] <Ziber> pac1: Not on this server, not yet.
[02:47] <Ziber> I just want the damn thing to run.
[02:47] <mjuszcza1> Anyone know a good program for Ubuntu (12.04 Unity) that easily allows you to filter through photos?  I've got a ton I'd like to go through and delete the bad ones, etc.
[02:47] <zebaszp> Ziber: try "sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.5" (delete package cache and redownload it)
[02:48] <mjuszcza1> Some of them are blurry and others are duplicates, but there's like 2000+ and going through them manually will be annoying.
[02:48] <pac1> Ziber, what do you get when you use the mysql command?
[02:48] <whoever> dr_willis: thx again
[02:48] <cfhowlett> mjuszcza1, shotwell is the default photo manager in ubuntustudio ...
[02:48] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: from the package you install server, not any databases. you create db yourself afterwards, and all related files are put where you specify. maybe last time it was /var/lob/mysql accidentally
[02:49] <GinTonicool> hi guys ,configure: error: cannot find sources (src/amule.cpp) in . or . DEBIAN SYSTEM,help me please
[02:49] <mjuszcza1> sweet, that's installed.  Thanks!
[02:49] <zebaszp> in case the package was downloaded incorrectly (which shouldn't happen, anyways)
[02:49] <Ziber> zebaszp: http://pastebin.com/MeeXHZhT
[02:49] <Ziber> pac1: It's not running.
[02:49] <ubuntu-tester1> mjuszcza1: darktable maybe
[02:49] <whoever> mjuszcza1: well what do you mean filter ? you can put the photos in to folders by year
[02:49] <Ziber> ubuntu-tester1: It was a corrupt user table, when downloaded/installed via apt.
[02:49] <bazhang> GinTonicool, debian?
[02:49] <whoever> there is really nothing to filter on in a photo
[02:49] <GinTonicool> yes,debian
[02:50] <bazhang> GinTonicool, #debian , not here
[02:50] <ghs> Someone that uses Eclipse, can help ?
[02:50] <zebaszp> Ziber: "sudo apt-get -f install" should fix it
[02:50] <bazhang> ghs, tried the eclipse channel yet?
[02:50] <GinTonicool> ubuntu maybe the same with debian
[02:50] <ghs> bazhang, Yes. But, no response.
[02:50] <bazhang> GinTonicool, wrong
[02:50] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: there's no tables in the package, do you understand? check it yourself with my cmd above
[02:51] <bazhang> GinTonicool, /join #debian
[02:51] <whoever> mjuszcza1: you can write a quick script to grab the data about the image , ie: date taken and place all with date == xxxx into a specific folder
[02:51] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: I copied host cpu features, didn't have support, I guess it's not as customizable as Gentoo :(
[02:51] <Ziber> ubuntu-tester1: it comes with the mysql database, which has a number of tables, for user access and things.
[02:52] <mjuszcza1> whoever: well that would help as a start.  Are dates stored with the photos themselves?  I have *years* of photos all in the root of $HOME/Pictures, completely unorganized.
[02:52] <Ziber> zebaszp: Didn't work. "subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1"
[02:52] <mjuszcza1> But the atime/mtime on them is definitely inaccurate as I've renamed some of them, etc.  Filtering by month/year would be awesome.
[02:52] <whoever> mjuszcza1: digikam
[02:53] <zebaszp> Ziber: well that's weird, try "sudo dpkg -r mysql-server-5.5"
[02:53] <mjuszcza1> whoever: is that a CLI tool?
[02:53] <escott> mjuszcza1, there is usually a date inside the photo. exif information
[02:53] <Ziber> zebaszp: Alright, that removed it. Now try reinstalling?
[02:54] <mjuszcza1> ah, I just RTFM :) Thanks!
[02:54] <zebaszp> Ziber: yup
[02:54] <pac1> ziber,  there's two pieces client and server.. Did you install both?
[02:54] <ubuntu-tester1> mjuszcza1: try Google Picasa first. it is freezed now, but last released version may suffice
[02:54] <Ziber> pac1: I have mysql-client installed. It's a server issue.
[02:55] <zebaszp> Ziber: hopefully it'll work, but ultimately google will have an answer :P
[02:55] <whoever> mjuszcza1: its got . gui
[02:55] <mjuszcza1> Thanks ubuntu-tester1 and whoever
[02:55] <ubuntu-tester1> mjuszcza1: picasa automatically group pictures by year, month etc. (from EXIF)
[02:55] <Ziber> zebaszp: It's not working. There's some underlying issue here. http://pastebin.com/4fYgafPs
[02:56] <schmitt953> Ziber: why are you using mysql?
[02:56] <schmitt953> Ziber: Mysql is depricated now
[02:56] <schmitt953> s/depricated/deprecated
[02:56] <Ziber> schmitt953: Oh, yes, let's question my entire reason for being while we're at it.
[02:56] <schmitt953> Ziber: you could always upgrade to postgres
[02:56] <Ziber> That's just simply not true. And I want to use it.
[02:56] <schmitt953> ok
[02:56] <schmitt953> Ziber: I'm curious why
[02:57] <cfhowlett> mjuszcza1, see this maybe  http://www.rileybrandt.com/2012/07/31/linux-photo-1/
[02:57] <Ziber> I hate with a passion when people, rather than trying to help me fix a problem, simply say "oh, just don't use it." That's not a solution.
[02:57] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: manuals have some steps after installing, did you follow?
[02:58] <Ziber> ubuntu-tester1: I've installed mysql hundreds of times, I know how to do it. I've never seen this issue.
[02:58] <cfhowlett> Ziber, suggest you also ask in the forums.  The answers you want may not be instantly available to you in the irc channel.
[02:58] <schmitt953> Ziber: xD
[02:59] <schmitt953> Ziber: I do actually agree with you about that, I had people tell me not to use ethernet bonding on a bridged interface saying if I wanted to use a bridge for KVM that I simply can't use  dynamic link aggrigation
[02:59] <schmitt953> figured out the bug (3 hours of wireshark) and fixed it
[03:00] <zebaszp> Ziber: I've done a little searching, it seems someone had a similar issue here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1763604
[03:00] <zebaszp> Ziber: ultimately, the part we care about is this: "sudo dpkg -P --force depends mysql-server mysql-server-5.5 mysql-common mysql-server-core-5.5 php5-mysql mysql-client-5.5 mysql-client-core-5.5"
[03:01] <Ziber> zebaszp: What's that do?
[03:01] <ubuntu-tester1> Ziber: if so, you can do it once more in a clean environment (virtual for ex), maybe on other ubuntu release, nail down those missing files and tell us at the end
[03:01] <mjuszcza1> sweet, thanks!
[03:01] <cfhowlett> mjuszcza1, http://www.enfew.com/image-editors-photo-organizer-for-ubuntu-linux/
[03:02] <schmitt953> why can't apt-get have USE flags like portage :(
[03:02] <mjuszcza1> cfhowlett: I think I'm writing a shell script to read the exif data and move the files from there.  Looks like it's working :) Thanks for your suggestions!
[03:02] <pac1> schmitt953, where do you get mysql is deprecated?
[03:02] <cfhowlett> mjuszcza1, great.  have fun, be safe.
[03:02] <urlwolf> can unity use gnome shell extensions?
[03:02] <schmitt953> in response to zebaszp's solution to Ziber
[03:02] <urlwolf> concretely shellshape
[03:03] <zebaszp> Ziber: force-purges the packages and raises dependency errors
[03:03] <schmitt953> pac1: most people are switching to postgres9, ever since postgres9 came out (a long time ago) it now outperforms mysql and is more robust, in addition there are still many vulns in mysql
[03:03] <schmitt953> even php (IMO it is rather deprecated) is distancing itself from mysql
[03:04] <pac1> interesting... any articles on this subject?
[03:04] <schmitt953> pac1: look at postgresql 9 and its new features
[03:04] <scott_> hello
[03:04] <schmitt953> then tell me mysql is at all useful
[03:04] <Guest11162> anybody?
[03:05] <pac1> I'm looking for independent published opinion...
[03:05] <escott> urlwolf, no
[03:05] <schmitt953> pac1: I'll find one, I can paraphrase a book that I have about administering databases
[03:05] <ubuntu-tester1> !ot | schmitt953
[03:06] <schmitt953> saying that postgresql is not a direct competitor to mysql and is more compariable with Oracle Database (no reason)
[03:06] <schmitt953> pac1: see you in #ubuntu-offtopic?
[03:07] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: Sorry for that we tend to be more relaxed about that in #gentoo-hardened :), feel free to visit sometime
[03:07] <expressofa> Hi everyone, I have a critical problem at an unfortunate time. I've posted my problem to AskUbuntu but I was wondering if there was a place I could pay someone to focus on my problem. I don't need a whole year's worth of support (as offered by Canonical), I hope. Do I have any options or should I just try to bug people here until my problem is solved?
[03:08] <whoever> expressofa: first what is your problem
[03:08] <cfhowlett> expressofa, "bug" people?  well, you could ASK people and MAYBE someone in the channel might have just the answer you want at the moment you ask.  You could even post on the forums...
[03:09] <ubuntu-tester1> schmitt953: that's because of lack of questions from i guess :)
[03:09]  * whoever nodes at cfhowlett
[03:09] <expressofa> cfhowlett: I meant "ask very politely"
[03:09] <expressofa> whoever: best documented here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/243641/x-suddenly-stopped-working-cant-boot
[03:09] <cfhowlett> expressofa, :)  I know.  so ask away.
[03:09] <schmitt953> ubuntu-tester1: I may be biased towards dev channels :)
[03:10] <expressofa> Basically boot fails, not sure what I did to instigate this or why it's happening or most importantly how I can fix.
[03:10] <expressofa> I believe that as soon as X tries to do something it blacks out the screen and then decides to become totally unresponsive.
[03:10] <whoever> expressofa: boot into recovery and select recover, and you are good to go
[03:10] <ubuntu-tester1> expressofa: if your're looking for paid support/administration, odesk may be the place to go
[03:11] <expressofa> whoever, I don't recall "recover" being an option. But I have tried all the options.
[03:11] <expressofa> whoever: most of them run fsck and then sit there blinking an underscore until I hit ctrl+c, then I get into a shell
[03:13] <whoever>  expressofa here is one way https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[03:13] <expressofa> whoever: it's been running fine since installing windows for like a few months....
[03:13] <whoever> run fsck -ya on /dev/sda1
[03:13] <expressofa> but I can try that
[03:14] <whoever> expressofa: and the hard drive is interna0l
[03:14] <whoever> when did it stop workin'
[03:14] <whoever> today, yesterday,
[03:14] <expressofa> whoever, yesterday I believe
[03:15] <ronson> I have Ubuntu 12.04LTS on a server I lease, how can I change the way the disk is partitioned so I can allocate a chunk of space to one directory?  It has some predefined allocations which I don't like (found with df -h)
[03:15] <whoever> expressofa: here is the recovery i was talking about , works for me http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/system_administration_books/ubuntu_starter_guide/ch08.html
[03:16] <whoever> ronson: create your dir you want to use then create a mount point for that directory in /etc/fstab
[03:16] <ubuntu-tester1> ronson: with parted
[03:16] <whoever> ubuntu-tester1: that works too
[03:18] <expressofa> whoever, what did you want me to do from that page? I've been doing recovery mode all day
[03:19] <ubuntu-tester1> expressofa: i suggest you get to the shell, and read through logs. or post it somewhere and ask someone to analyse
[03:19] <whoever> expressofa: if you hit escape it should bring up a recovery terminal with option and you select the kernel you want to recover , it will go to work and you should be up and running in about 20min
[03:20] <escott> ronson, ?
[03:20] <ronson> I'm supposed to have two drives on this server but only see one, how can I see the other drive?
[03:20] <ubuntu-tester1> expressofa: *analyze
[03:20] <escott> ronson, cat /proc/partitions or "sudo parted -l"
[03:20] <whoever> expressofa: also if the data is this importand to you , why not have a backup of the data, or have a disk image
[03:20] <expressofa> ubuntu-tester1: I read through logs and tried to post photos of the relevant ones, but if there's something else I should look for, I can try
[03:21] <expressofa> whoever: I have backups but I need to be productive and being productive means not being on Windows
[03:21] <warrior_> i have network printer lbp 810. but i cant print.. how to soft that problem and how to get LBP 810 printer driver
[03:22] <expressofa> whoever: is there documentation for this magic escape recovery console thing somewhere?
[03:22] <ubuntu-tester1> is network working? if yes, try to get the logs in text
[03:22] <ronson> Is it dangerous to resize partitions that are raided?
[03:22] <whoever> expressofa: so then shouldn't a restore of the backup solve both problemms, youll be back at a known good point, with ubuntu and windows
[03:22] <escott> ronson, its a little bit harder, but so long as they are unmounted its fine
[03:22] <expressofa> whoever: it's just file backups, not good comprehensive ones.
[03:22] <expressofa> not disk images
[03:22] <expressofa> unfortunately
[03:23] <ubuntu-tester1> ronson: almost as much as not raided i think
[03:23] <whoever> expressofa: so you don't even get grub ?
[03:23] <expressofa> whoever: I get grub
[03:23] <ronson> I can't unmount a disk I'm using to ssh can I? :P
[03:23] <expressofa> I get all the way to here: http://i.imgur.com/f1Hxc.jpg
[03:23] <whoever> expressofa: so you get the ubuntu logo {
[03:23] <whoever> ?\
[03:23] <escott> ronson, no
[03:24] <ronson> Looks like I'm stuck with this partitioning
[03:24] <BroUnicorn> Okay, I've got a big problem
[03:24] <whoever> expressofa: then when you get the ubuntu logo hit escape
[03:24] <expressofa> after grub?
[03:24] <BroUnicorn> I put in my ubuntu Dvd and everything opened great
[03:24] <BroUnicorn> I pressed install
[03:24] <expressofa> whoever: I think it might freeze before escape could do anything, I'm not sure. I can try if you think that's the right course of action.
[03:26] <BroUnicorn> Then it wanted to automatically partition the drive, so I let it. I have Mac and Windows already on here. It did some stuff for a while, then threw me a partitioning error. Now My Windows hard drive doesn't show up on my Mac desktop, or in disk utility on my mac. Also, it doesn't allow me into my windows. I can choose it from the boot menu but it won't load all the way. The windows load screen is up for a good few seconds before the screen turns blue
[03:26] <BroUnicorn> momentarily and then exits.
[03:27] <Sylphie> looks like ubuntu trashed your partition table
[03:27] <whoever> expressofa: if that is the case get a live linux disto and run the disc utilliity to check drive health, you may have bad secotores on the drive , and in that case your stuck, replace the drive (all docs I saw to low level formate to fix bad sectors only put a bandaid on the problem )
[03:27] <BroUnicorn> Sylphie: Yes. Yes it does. How do I go about being able to get back into my Windows?
[03:27] <BroUnicorn> I understand some files may be lost.
[03:28] <schmitt953> I'm blanking on the command to upgrade to 12.10 from whatever version is running, anyone know it off the top of their head
[03:28] <whoever> expressofa: does the harddrive make any kind of loud noises
[03:28] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, first let's assume your Mac/Windows parts are present.
[03:28] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, so the install did NOT complete, right?
[03:28] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, and you're install on a Mac, I take it?
[03:28] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, a real Mac, not ihackintosh?
[03:28] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ norton utilities (esp disk editor) might let you repair the partition table
[03:28] <whoever> expressofa: ie: "tricking"
[03:28] <BroUnicorn> No, it did not complete
[03:28] <BroUnicorn> Yes, I am on a real mac. Macbook pro c. mid 2010
[03:29] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, OK .. is this a mac or a windows machine?
[03:29] <BroUnicorn> Mac.
[03:29] <expressofa> whoever: it's an SSD so no noise whatsoever
[03:29] <BroUnicorn> Sylphie: Okay, Where do I find that?
[03:29] <expressofa> whoever: also, fsck says nothing is wrong
[03:29] <whoever>  BroUnicorn sudo atitude dist-upgrade
[03:30] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ unfortunately norton utilities is commercial software you'd need to purchase
[03:30] <BroUnicorn> Sylphie: Is it expensive?
[03:30] <BroUnicorn> whoever: What's that?
[03:30] <whoever> expressofa: when did you get this ssd
[03:30] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: Is there anything I can do?
[03:30] <BlackDalek> If I remove all installed desktops (unity, gnome, etc.) with purge option then re-install unity desktop... would that clear any customized colour settings?
[03:30] <expressofa> whoever: recently, I got the computer less than 4 months ago
[03:31] <whoever> expressofa: also on linux the docs say to do cartin theings in bios or you'll get problems
[03:31] <whoever> expressofa: what brand is the ssd
[03:31] <Sylphie> http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/7071/norton-utilities
[03:31] <BroUnicorn> Sylphie: The problem is that I can't even get into the Windows…. I can begin to open it but it reaches the loading screen, loads for a few seconds, then is gone
[03:32] <BroUnicorn> Sylphie: Ahh. Scratch that
[03:32] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, I suspect you windows and mac partitions were not overwritten but your partition table was trashed.  You could try booting the ubuntu CD again to see if the other parts show up.  IF those partitions were truly overwritten, you could try to recover them with various tools,  but I'm no mac expert.
[03:32] <expressofa> whoever: OCZ Agility 4
[03:32] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ there might be other free disk utilities for your mac
[03:33] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: Okay. The partitions were not overwritten, I'm almost sure you are correct. In which case, what do I need to do?
[03:33] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: The partitions were not overwritten.
[03:33] <BroUnicorn> I'm not sure why colloquy said that twice haha.
[03:34] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ does OsX have anything liek a command line "fdisk" util?
[03:34] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, this is where I bail; I can't give mac advice, but assuming the data is present, recovery should be "easy"?
[03:34] <expressofa> whoever: in a root shell from GRUB I can access all my files (at least, the ones I tested)
[03:34] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: I'm simply asking for ubuntu advice :D
[03:34] <escott> BroUnicorn, if the NTFS was resized its possible it was corrupted in the process. boot a windows rescue disk and see if you can run chkdsk on that disk
[03:35] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: How can I fix this from Ubuntu? I believe that I may have even caused the issue by accidentally resizing something.
[03:35] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, understood, but there's that whole "bootcamp" thing.  Anyway, the MacTel crew can probably advise on this.
[03:35] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, wait 1 and I'lll get the link.
[03:35] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: Okay, thanks
[03:35] <Crazy_Spai_> Greetings!
[03:36] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, also, check the mactel ubuntu forums.  You're neither the first nor the last ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages
[03:36] <whoever> expressofa: i read the reviews and some people write about wha your discribing... it sounds like you make just have a flawed drive
[03:37] <whoever> expressofa: is this the first time this has happend to you with this drive
[03:37] <dr_willis> hard drives seem to be the weakest link these days in hardware.
[03:37] <expressofa> whoever: is there a definitive way to see if it's a hardware thing?
[03:38] <expressofa> whoever: yes, it's been stellar up to now
[03:38] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: If I were to go back into my mac and add size back to what I accidentally removed it from, would it correct the issue?
[03:38] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: Or would that do nothing.
[03:38] <BroUnicorn> Back into ubuntu*
[03:39] <whoever> expressofa: since your were talking about windows on ssd , here is a link http://www.overclock.net/t/700470/tutorials-real-world-windows-7-ssd-tweaks-and-optimization
[03:39] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ adding size back might zero the space you add. better to ask the macexperts first
[03:39] <expressofa> whoever: my windows installation is on a different HDD
[03:39] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, as I said, macs are beyond my experience.  When I hackintoshed my lappy, I configured OSX, then Win7 then Ubuntu, but that's not what you've got.  I'd suggest recovering the native OS first, OSX, then windows and finally ubuntu.
[03:40] <whoever> expressofa: well that is pretty much the test, unless you want to go bu another ssd to repeate the process , you have already done it
[03:40] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: Surprisingly, OSX is perfectly fine
[03:40] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: It's only windows having the problem
[03:40] <whoever> expressofa: ah, i assumed it was dual boot, but never the less the link minght help you
[03:41] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, OK. try windows "recovery/repair" with the windows disk
[03:41] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: Meaning the disk that I originally installed it with?
[03:41] <whoever> expressofa: .... and just to make you fell better.... that will $60
[03:41] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, preferrably yes.
[03:41] <expressofa> whoever: cool, thanks, I'll read it over. If it's NOT a hardware thing, could the fact that I'm missing an xorg conf file have anything to do with it? Or maybe the apt-get upgrade I ran?
[03:41] <whoever> expressofa: +-)
[03:41] <BroUnicorn> Alright
[03:42] <dr_willis> expressofa:  xorg.conf is sort of optional these days
[03:42] <expressofa> dr_willis: ah, ok. Do the error messages in my X log file mean anything to anyone?
[03:42] <expressofa> http://i.imgur.com/L7Hp7.jpeg and http://i.imgur.com/5S9bY.jpeg for reference
[03:43] <whoever> expressofa: with no xorg.conf you would get server not connect errors
[03:43] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: Do I do this while on OSX or Ubuntu? Or where do I put the cd in and try this?
[03:43] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: I very much so appreciate the responses btw
[03:43] <whoever> expressofa: and what happend to your xorg.conf
[03:43] <joshua__> how do i get root access on xubuntu
[03:44] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ better not to touch ubuntu again until you fix the partition table. a second time might really ruin things permanently
[03:44] <Ben65> joshua__: use sudo before the command you're trying to run
[03:44] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, no worries.  as far as installing windows on a mac, All I know is "bootcamp".  Check the Apple pages for the precise sequence.
[03:44] <whoever> expressofa: apt-get upgrade will not revome your xorg.conf
[03:44] <cfhowlett> !root|joshua__,
[03:44] <joshua__> why doesnt su work
[03:44] <Ben65> !root | joshua__
[03:44] <cfhowlett> joshua__, sudo su but you really shouldn't require that ...
[03:44] <dr_willis> joshua__:  you dont su to root in ubuntu.
[03:44] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett: Okay, Update. In disk utility The bootcamp partition still shows up.
[03:45] <BroUnicorn> cfhowlett:
[03:45] <whoever> expressofa: you should remembr how long from the time you installed ubuntu to the time it quit , and now reinstall ubuntu
[03:45] <dr_willis> joshua__:  use sudo..   and dont do sudo su either
[03:45] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, good times.
[03:45] <whoever> just to make sure its not you
[03:45] <Ben65> yeah i didn't think "sudo su" was good
[03:45] <BroUnicorn> Sylphie: The bootcamp partition is still showing up in the Disk Utility, however when pressing Repair Disk It says "Repairing volume failed: Invalid request"
[03:45] <whoever> and do you get any i/0 errors durring boot
[03:45] <dr_willis> you caN SU TO OTHER NON-ROOT USERS
[03:45] <dr_willis> oops ;)
[03:46] <joshua__> ?
[03:46] <joshua__> on linux mint i could dp it that way
[03:46] <joshua__> well thanks anyways
[03:46] <dr_willis> ubuntu is not mint...
[03:46] <BroUnicorn> whoever: Me?
[03:46] <whoever> BroUnicorn: no that for expressofa
[03:46] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ I know little about macs, except that they used to be too expensive for my budget. But I do no a little about windows partition tables
[03:46] <whoever> dr_willis: have you made the jump to ssds
[03:47] <BroUnicorn> Sylphie: Okay, so what should be my first steps in attempting to correct this? Or is my best bet still norton
[03:47] <dr_willis> whoever:  i have one..  bene lookingat getting more. but the sizes are still too small
[03:48] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ ask the mac experts, they might know a free disk utility for OS X that might work
[03:48] <BroUnicorn> Any mac users that can help me with a messed up partition table?
[03:48] <expressofa> whoever: where would I see IO errors? It says something about KVMs when booting that seemed strange.
[03:49] <whoever> dr_willis: i think some brands arn't that reliable and yes the size on all brands is to small
[03:49] <expressofa> whoever: would reinstalling nuke all my data and configuration? I spent freakin' forever getting things set up right and it'd take forever to redo it all
[03:49] <whoever> expressofa: durring the boot process,  i think you can hit "i" durring boot to get the output
[03:50] <dr_willis> whoever:  i just have a 128gb one for my ubuntu install i got for $100 ons sale a few months back.  luckly linux makes it trivial  to have /home and daa drives on other  drives
[03:50] <whoever> expressofa: is it all on the same partition
[03:50] <alexhairyman> /etc/fstab magic
[03:50] <expressofa> whoever: yes
[03:50] <whoever> dr_willis: where did you get it
[03:50] <dr_willis> whoever:  staples ;)
[03:51] <cfhowlett> BroUnicorn, http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=328
[03:51] <whoever> expressofa: well  do you have another hardrive
[03:51] <dr_willis> whoever:  saw 200gb in the $200 range the other day. but thats still too tiny.
[03:51] <whoever> dr_willis: damn  is it still on sale
[03:51] <whoever> dr_willis: what brand
[03:52] <dr_willis> whoever:  128gb goes for  about $100 on amazon i think
[03:52] <BroUnicorn> The hell is a Linux swap partition?
[03:52] <expressofa> whoever: I do, the one my Windows is on
[03:52] <czz> Hi. Is there a way to find the directory location of a program I just installed?
[03:52] <cfhowlett> !swap|BroUnicorn,
[03:52] <dr_willis> BroUnicorn:  where the swap data is kept
[03:53] <dr_willis> czz:  installed how?
[03:53] <Ben65> why am i getting tons of crash reports all of a sudden
[03:53] <whoever> dr_willis: I do data minning, (i guess you could call it ) so i have about 4T of satas
[03:53] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ it's just like a windows swap file, except it gets it's own partition
[03:53] <czz> dr_willis, apt-get
[03:53] <Gyro54> Hi!
[03:53] <cfhowlett> czz, whereis foo
[03:53] <cfhowlett> Gyro54, greetings
[03:53] <dr_willis> whoever:  i got a stack of 3TB usb hds for the wifes  shows ;)  and backups of her shows...
[03:54] <dr_willis> czz:  the apt/package manager tools have a way to show what files it installed
[03:54] <dr_willis> czz:  what app? what are you trying to do with it?
[03:54] <Gyro54> How do I list all the computers on a local network to see if I have an ip conflict?
[03:54] <dr_willis> Gyro54:  you could use nmap to scan the network
[03:55] <Ben65> Gyro54: you should have a dhcp server to avoid stuff like that
[03:55] <Gyro54> Thanks dr_willis will do that!
[03:55] <whoever> expressofa: well remove that hard drive and place it in your linux box , boot up , do an fdisk -l to get the drive , mount that drive someware and create a folder to hold all data in , and then copy the data you want to that folder, unmount it, power off remove that harddrive and reinstall ubuntu
[03:56] <whoever> then you hook the drive back up ai]nd transfer your files back over
[03:56] <Gyro54> Ben65:  I have a DHCP win 2003 server but there is an error and everyone blames the Ubuntu machines.
[03:56] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ if ubuntu overlaid a linux swap partition onto a part of what was your windows partition, then your windows is probably corrupted beyond repair
[03:56] <expressofa> whoever: it's the same computer, two HDDs
[03:57] <Ben65> Gyro54: I'd blame the windows dhcp server.... but anyway nmap is great, but if two machines have the same IP, it could be hard to determine
[03:57] <czz> dr_willis, I've already installed the app, just trying to file the folder of settings,files,etc
[03:57] <BroUnicorn> I mean I have win clone with a working back up of windows, I just don't want to immediately jump to that because I would lose some recent things I've done
[03:57] <whoever> dr_willis: ... does she watch them ,? i can't get mine to watch the ones she has on dvr
[03:57] <Ben65> czz: what did you install
[03:57] <Sylphie> Ben65 \ how many machines on your lan?
[03:57] <czz> Ben65, Suricata
[03:57] <Gyro54> Ben65: Installing now!
[03:58] <Ben65> Sylphie: that doesn't matter, but about 15

[03:59] <whoever> dr_willis: i fell for you
[03:59] <Sylphie> Ben65 \ for only 15 machines "arp -a" should tell you about duplicate addresses
[03:59] <whoever> RNK6: wow you don't have to cry about it
[04:00] <RNK6> whenever i try to run something it says there was a serios error
[04:00] <dr_willis> >hic< Wine is the answer.. not the problem....   ;) please  tell us whasat you are trying to run with it.
[04:00] <whoever> RNK6:  so what the prob
[04:00] <RNK6> but those same things have platinum ratings on the winehq and ran fine 3 months ago
[04:00] <Ben65> hmm, i'm getting lots of segfaults on unrelated programs

[04:01] <Tam-> hi
[04:01] <Tom-> hi
[04:01] <whoever> RNK6: whine is a heaping pile of code and there will alway be problems with it, you best bet is to set up a windows VM and run all your windows programs in there
[04:01] <Ankur_Agarwal> I want to update kernel from 3.2 to 3.8
[04:01] <Ankur_Agarwal> can somebody help
[04:01] <android> > /var/log/auth.log

[04:02] <Ben65> Tom- Tom` Tam-: do you really need 3 clients in here
[04:02] <Tom-> How are we all today?
[04:02] <Tom`> Ben65: its not 3 clients
[04:02] <Tom`> whois us
[04:02] <Tam-> dood, just watch our hosts..
[04:02] <Ben65> if you want to spam, go somewhere else
[04:02] <Tom`> howdy everyone!
[04:02] <RNK6> whoever: but i have nowhere near the power to do that, even with starcraft
[04:02] <whoever> dr_willis: i thaught that movie was only 3 hours long, you should get the cliff notes, and quizz here .. "what happens at 85 minuts in "
[04:03] <RNK6> whorever: which is about 14 years old
[04:03] <Tom-> This is awesome
[04:03] <Tom-> Ben65, we're not spamming?
[04:03] <Ben65> !ot
[04:03] <Tam`> Tam`: How are we today?
[04:04] <Tom`> Ben65: we are just friendly ubuntu users, seeking a community
[04:04] <whoever> rmbell: you should not be playing games in wine, or a vm, make windows your host and ubunu your guest, , get more ram, still not enough power then you need a new box
[04:04] <Ben65> this is the support channel, this isn't to show off how you can have 3 ip addresses, we're not impressed. take it elsewhere if you don't have a question
[04:04] <Gyro54> Ben65: Thats very useful. No conflicts. Thanks
[04:05] <alexhairyman> Tom- Tam` Tom`, I bet you guys have wicked parties, do you complete each others sentences too?
[04:05] <Tom-> Tom` what are you doing today?
[04:05] <rmbell> whoever:  tab completion failed you there :P
[04:05] <Tam`> alexhairyman: Nope
[04:05] <Tam-> we don't
[04:05] <Tom-> No party
[04:05] <Tam`> Whois us all
[04:05] <BroUnicorn> So anyone know how I can fix my partition table? My windows partition still exists but is not bootable
[04:06] <Ankur_Agarwal> Tom can you help me ?
[04:06] <Ben65> !ask | Ankur_Agarwal
[04:06] <Tom->  Which tom?
[04:06] <Tom`> Ankur_Agarwal: with?
[04:06] <Ankur_Agarwal> i want to update kernel 3.2 to 3.8
[04:06] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ what were saying about a linux swap partition?
[04:06] <BroUnicorn> Sylphie: I just didn't know what it was.
[04:06] <Tom`> Ankur_Agarwal: i believe you have a launchpad for that?
[04:06] <alexhairyman> rmbell, how so?
[04:06] <alexhairyman> oops
[04:06] <Tam-> yes Ankur_Agarwal?
[04:06] <Tom-> ankur_agarw, apt-get update ?
[04:07] <whoever> rmbell: y, thank you my good man , yes it dit
[04:07] <Ben65> Ankur_Agarwal: which version of ubuntu
[04:07] <whoever> RNK6: you should not be playing games in wine, or a vm, make windows your host and ubunu your guest, , get more ram, still not enough power then you need a new box
[04:07] <Ankur_Agarwal> apt-get update dont show 3.8.
[04:07] <Tom-> wait.. 3.8 exists?
[04:07] <alexhairyman> Ankur_Agarwal, compile it
[04:07] <Tom`> Ankur_Agarwal: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[04:07] <alexhairyman> Tom- some release candidate I believe
[04:08] <Tom-> We need more tom/tam's Get moar symbols boys!
[04:08] <Tom`> Tom-: we need unicode names
[04:08] <Tam`> Oh yes unicode ♥
[04:08] <deus-ex> got a major problem
[04:08] <Tam`> If only feff was valid in nicks.
[04:08] <Ben65> !ot |  Tom- Tom`  Tam-
[04:09] <deus-ex> i just updated ubuntu after a few weeks with no internet access
[04:09] <Sylphie> BroUnicorn \ a mac guru might be able to help you fix the partition from os x, but there's a 50/50 chance critical stuff in the windows partition has been overwritten and thus require a reinstall of windows
[04:09] <Tom-> deus-ex what's your problem?
[04:09] <Tom`> Ben65: i helped someone already
[04:09] <deus-ex> and now x can't find my screen
[04:09] <Tam-> Ben65: what did I say ?
[04:09] <Ben65> !ops
[04:09] <Tam-> don't drag with them
[04:09] <Tam-> +me
[04:10] <Tom-> Tom`:What did you do yesterday?
[04:10] <Tom`> Ben65: i answered a question i knew how to answer, im not being useless
[04:10] <Tom`> therefor we are following rules
[04:10] <Ben65> not the offtopic rule
[04:10] <Tom-> How are we offtopic?
 Tom`:What did you do yesterday?
[04:11] <Tom`> Ben65: he has turrets
[04:11] <evilthought> I am trying tune2fs but doesn't seem to work. Can anyone look at http://pastebin.com/p7KnXzwJ .. what am I doing wrong?
[04:11] <Tam-> why am I involved with that Ben65?
[04:11] <RNK6> whoever: but this worked just fine up until now, and it has platinum rating on the wine appdb
[04:12] <Tom`> RNK6: wine is very version specific
[04:12] <Tom`> please refer to the tested conditions others used
[04:12] <Tom-> Tom` Where should we go tomorrow?
[04:13] <deus-ex> can anyone help me with an x issue?  The latest batch of ubuntu updates have broken something and now x won't detect my screens
[04:13] <Tom`> Tom-: probably fedora
[04:13] <vedic> How much memory a process is allowed to lock? I am using SPhinx search mlock call which actually calls mlock(2) . I am getting Warning for not able to lock memory. How to fix this?
[04:13] <Tom-> Tam1 You too
[04:13] <evilthought> Can anyone look at http://pastebin.com/p7KnXzwJ .. what am I doing wrong?
[04:13] <expressofa> whoever: is there a way to reinstall X in case it got corrupted somehow?
[04:13] <Tom-> Tam` *
[04:13] <deus-ex> tried that
[04:13] <RNK6> tom': i have the latest release of 1.4 wine and it was given a platinum rating for starcraft
[04:13] <Tam`> I'm going to join Tom` with Fedora. :)
[04:13] <Tom-> Same, sounds like a plan. :D
[04:13] <Flannel> Tom-, Tam-, Tom`, et al.  Please take the social chatter to #ubuntu-offtopic, so we can keep this channel support only, thanks.
[04:14] <Ankur_Agarwal> these are debian files so i need not to compile them bt just install them?
[04:14] <Tom`> Tam`: Tom- ect, wanna go to offtopic and be nice?
[04:14] <Tom-> Ankur_Agarwal: bt -> backtrack?
[04:14] <Tam`> Tom`: Sure
[04:14] <Tom-> Nahh they are just gonna have to kick us all. :)
[04:15] <Tam`> Tom-: lol...
[04:15] <Ankur_Agarwal> but
[04:15] <whoever> expressofa: yes
[04:16] <cub> how do i make ubuntu look like windows 95?
[04:16] <Sylphie> cub \ ewwww
[04:16] <cub> ?
[04:16] <dax> use GTK2 apps and the Raleigh theme. I assume there's a Windows 95 window decorations theme out there somewhere
[04:16] <Shortstraw8> Where/how do I find my ssh/pub key? I don't remember creating one for this computer
[04:17] <giorgi> server irc.mibbit.net
[04:17] <Sylphie> cub \ anyways, kde looks sort of like win95, so you could do a kubuntu configuration
[04:17] <giorgi> oops
[04:17] <evilthought> what am I doing wrong here? http://pastebin.com/p7KnXzwJ
[04:17] <giorgi> lol
[04:17] <dax> KDE looks nothing like Windows 95.
[04:17] <Tam-> kde > gnome.
[04:17] <cub> ok
[04:17] <cub> if i cant get that then
[04:18] <cub> how do i make it look like amiga
[04:18] <Sylphie> kde looks more like win95 than any of the other WMs
[04:18] <whoever> expressofa: expressofa but you would be much better off doing it the way i described, backing up and reinstalling, because it will be much more work to do what your wanting to do
[04:18] <Ben65> evilthought: you want to put the device in there, not the device and mount point merged together
[04:18] <dr_willis> slystone:  not really... go get IceWM and its themes
[04:18] <expressofa> whoever: this laptop has a discrete and an integrated graphics card that it switches between based on AC status and stuff. Could it be that it shut down in one and then is trying to boot up with the other or something? Or maybe there's saved hibernation data that's corrupted?
[04:19] <deus-ex> can anyone help me with an x issue?  The latest batch of ubuntu updates have broken something and now x won't detect my screens
[04:19] <Sylphie> deus-ex \ is this nvidia?
[04:20] <whoever> expressofa: what ... i have never heard of a laptop with two graphics cards that changed witch one controlled graphics from what the current power state is
[04:20] <deus-ex> Sylphie: yes
[04:20] <evilthought> sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/sdb1/ still doesn't work nor does sudo tune2fs -m 0 /media/owner/WD_Drive .. same error
[04:20] <expressofa> whoever: okay, so maybe it doesn't do that. But I feel like that could cause confusion to X
[04:20] <Shortstraw8> Can anyone help me locate my  my ssh/rsa key that I do not remember making and now can't fin is there an terminal command?
[04:21] <whoever> expressofa: hibirnation does not start untill you atleast get to the logon screen
[04:21] <expressofa> whoever: I know it runs some programs with discrete using optirun
[04:21] <Sylphie> deus-ex \ were you using the open source driver or the proprietary driver?
[04:21] <deus-ex> proprietary I believe
[04:21] <expressofa> but also maybe Windows told it to use discrete and that messed things up? I dunno how GPU state is handled between shutodwns
[04:21] <Ben65> evilthought: don't have a slash at the end of sdb1
[04:21] <Ben65> evilthought: its not a directory
[04:21] <deus-ex> Sylphie \ proprietary I believe
[04:22] <Sylphie> deus-ex \ you might try the open source driver then, just for the short term
[04:22] <evilthought> ok thabks
[04:22] <deus-ex> how can I switch to that from the command line?
[04:22] <whoever> expressofa: that uould probably be wheatthre or not the the display will display on battery with x% of battery life left
[04:22] <deus-ex> Sylphie \ how can I switch to that from the command line?
[04:22] <escott> expressofa, it likely depends on hot or cold shutdown
[04:22] <whoever> expressofa: brb smk 30
[04:22] <vedic> How much memory a process is allowed to lock? I am using SPhinx search mlock call which actually calls mlock(2) . I am getting Warning for not able to lock memory. How to fix this?
[04:23] <Sylphie> I'm thinking. I don't use a nvidia, I just see a lot of people with the same exact trouble you'be got
[04:23] <expressofa> escott: any way I can give it a cleansing bath of Bash commands and clean up whatever mess might be hanging around?
[04:23] <Sylphie> deus-ex \ it seems the nvidia drivers aren't so good for a lot of people
[04:23] <Ben65> nvidia drivers are fine
[04:24] <dr_willis> compared to some of the disasters ive seen with other drivers. ;)
[04:24] <escott> expressofa, a full shutdown (vs a reboot) should get the firmware to boot in the default settings
[04:24] <Shortstraw8> Can anyone help me find my rsa/ssh key that I do not remember making? is there a command in terminal? I need it for git so I can start programming for school.
[04:24] <Sylphie> Ben75 \ nvidia drivers are like the number 1 video complaint
[04:25] <deus-ex> Sylphie \ I didn't switch drivers when I updated, and I don't think it switched because there were beta versions I wasn't using
[04:25] <escott> Shortstraw8, your rsa ssh key would be in ~/.ssh/id_rsa
[04:25] <Sylphie> Ati drivers being the number 2 video complaint
[04:25] <Ben65> Sylphie: its also the number one used driver
[04:26] <Ben65> deus-ex: so what happened?
[04:26] <jubei> hello guys. Everything was working fine but all of a sudden the nvidia driver decided to stop working
[04:27] <jubei> any ideas how to troubleshoot it?
[04:27] <Ben65> jubei: define "all of a sudden"
[04:27] <dr_willis> reinstall the nvidia driver perhaps
[04:27] <Shortstraw8> escott, tried that gave me no such file or directory
[04:27] <jubei> Ben65, went home, came back to the office next day booted up, resolution was weird
[04:27] <dr_willis> move/rename your xorg..conf and restart the xx serrver as another test
[04:27] <jubei> Ben65, tried to load nvidia-xconfig thingie and it told me the nvidia driver isn't running
[04:28] <Ben65> jubei: nvidia-settings?
[04:28] <Sylphie> Ben65 \ drivers arent suppose to suddenly stop working
[04:28] <jubei> Ben65, yes nvidia-settings
[04:28] <Ben65> then yeah, i'd try reinstalling nvidia as dr_willis suggested
[04:28] <escott> Shortstraw8, then you dont have your key on that computer
[04:28] <jubei> so nvidia-settings tells to run nvidia-xconfig as root to fix it
[04:29] <jubei> I did that but nvidia-xconfig said it cannot find xorg.conf (as far as I remember ubuntu doesn't use that anymore, right?)
[04:29] <Ben65> right
[04:29] <dr_willis> i have an xorg.conf on my nvidia ssytems.
[04:29] <dr_willis> but its only needed for special settings
[04:29] <Ben65> well to be more accurate, ubuntu doesn't _need_ xorg.conf anymore
[04:29] <dr_willis> 12.10 auto configured my nvidia cards with nvidia drivers without an xorg.conf for the most part
[04:29] <jubei> any ideas on how to proceed?
[04:30] <dr_willis> nvidia-xconfig -a   should generate a xorg.conf for your system i belive
[04:30] <dr_willis> then restart the x server and see if it loads uo annd uses the nvidia drivers
[04:30] <Shortstraw8> escott, when I try what bitbucket has to set up git it tells me that I have one. So I have been looking through ubuntu help and get the same message entering what they say.
[04:31] <jubei> http://codepad.org/KhHwYvHg
[04:31] <escott> Shortstraw8, if you created an rsa key it would be in ~/.ssh/id_rsa unless you specified an alternate location (and why would you do that)
[04:32] <dr_willis> jubei:  looks to me like its not loading the nvidia drivers
[04:32] <escott> Shortstraw8, its possible you created a dsa key instead of rsa or an elliptic curve key of some kind
[04:32] <Ben65> jubei: could you pastebin "lsmod" and "dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia"
[04:32] <Shortstraw8> escott,  do i just switch rsa and dsa to find out?
[04:32] <escott> Shortstraw8, baring your putting the key in a strange location it would be in ~/.ssh
[04:33] <deus-ex> Sylphie \ I'm also getting an error that my Nvidia driver doesn't match the kernel version
[04:33] <deus-ex> and I can't download the correct version from apt-get
[04:33] <Ben65> deus-ex: did you install it from the website
[04:33] <rkhshm> my laptop which is running 12.04 lists VPN in network settings but my office desktop also running 12.04 does not list VPN at all..
[04:33] <rkhshm> is there any pkg i need to install to get setup VPN in the first place?
[04:34] <Shortstraw8> escott,  When I enter that I get (Is a directory)
[04:34] <jubei> Ben65, http://codepad.org/jLyZcWTb
[04:34] <deus-ex> Ben65: No, only apt-get.  I don't think I can use their website - my only browser access right now is through lynx
[04:34] <cokn> ok so i did minimal install i have no unity and gnome install i want to install mate desktop while adding repo og mate in source list getting gpg error no key found while updating?
[04:34] <Ben65> deus-ex: no its good, installing the drivers from the site could cause problems
[04:35] <deus-ex> ok
[04:35] <escott> Shortstraw8, yes it is a directory
[04:35] <deus-ex> i got the 304 driver to install
[04:35] <deus-ex> Ben65: got the 304 driver to install, removing the old one, not sure how to activate the new one from the commandline
[04:36] <cokn> ok so i did minimal install i have no unity and gnome install i want to install mate desktop while adding repo og mate in source list getting gpg error no key found while updating?
[04:36] <jubei> Ben65, In case you missed it: http://codepad.org/jLyZcWTb
[04:36] <Ben65> jubei: what does "uname -r" say
[04:36] <jubei> oh sorry^^
[04:37] <Ben65> no problem :)
[04:37] <jubei> 3.5.0-21-generic
[04:37] <dr_willis> !gpg
[04:37] <Shortstraw8> escott, so when I enter mkdir ~/.ssh  I'm not making a new ssh so would I already have one? Sorry I'm new to this.
[04:37] <dr_willis> hmm there a factoid on finding  gpg keys
[04:37] <Ben65> jubei: sudo apt-get install nvidia-common nvidia-experimental-310-dev nvidia-settings-experimental-310 linux-headers-generic
[04:38] <Shortstraw8> escott,  So would I use ssh-keygen -t rsa?
[04:38] <jubei> Ben65, so what happened I got a kernel upgrade and the driver stopped working?
[04:38] <escott> Shortstraw8, you said you wanted to find your ssh key. it would be in the folder ~/.ssh. Unless you did something really strange when you ran ssh-keygen thats where it would be
[04:38] <cokn> dr_willis: i have gpg key but when i am adding it it says connection refused no pgp data found
[04:38] <Ben65> jubei: i'm not sure, but you're missing a couple packages that should have come with the driver
[04:38] <escott> Shortstraw8, ssh-keygen will prompt you through the process of generating a new key
[04:38] <jubei> Ben65, I see. Thanks so much for the help! Appreciated!
[04:39] <dr_willis> cokn:  could be their key server is down.   you may want to check the mate support forums/channels
[04:39] <Ben65> jubei: it might not be done after that command though
[04:39] <jubei> Ben65, let me restart the xserver brb
[04:39] <cokn> dr_willis:  ok i will try
[04:40] <jubei> Ben65, it worked like a charm thank you!!
[04:40] <Ben65> jubei: awesome
[04:40] <Shortstraw8> escott, Yeah I haved looked through ALL my folders and can't find it.
[04:41] <deus-ex> Ben65: by doing a sudo apt-get purge nvidia* I got a basic gui up and running
[04:42] <escott> Shortstraw8, you could just generate a new one. ssh keys are not as important as gpg identity keys. in fact its normal to have a different one for each machine
[04:42] <Ben65> deus-ex: but you still want nvidia?
[04:43] <Shortstraw8> escott, OK so stupid question I don't need to erase the exsisting one?
[04:44] <escott> Shortstraw8, you shouldn't leave a key on bitbucket that no longer identifies you
[04:44] <Shortstraw8> escott, Ok thank you thank you!!
[04:45] <deus-ex> well yeah, the resolution is at like 640x480
[04:45] <escott> Shortstraw8, honestly think of it like a key. keep it safe... if it gets stolen or a copy gets lost. think about changing the locks
[04:45] <deus-ex> Ben65: yeah, the resolution is at like 640x480 i'd like to use my graphics card
[04:45] <Shortstraw8> escott, I have been looking for that for an hour
[04:45] <escott> Shortstraw8, ie generate a new key to replace it, upload the new public key, and disable the old public key
[04:45] <escott> Shortstraw8, it doesn't cost you anything to create a new one
[04:45] <Sylphie> deus-ex \ you might try the neuvou driver if the nvidia driver is a failure
[04:46] <escott> Shortstraw8, i don't know why you would bother looking for more than a minute honestly
[04:46] <Ben65> deus-ex: which card do you have
[04:46] <Shortstraw8> escott, I'm new to this and did'nt want to mess anything up.
[04:47] <Shortstraw8> escott, I appreciate your help.
[04:48] <deus-ex> Ben65: Not sure, it's been a while since I bought the computer.  How do I find out?
[04:53] <BroUnicorn> Alright so
[04:54] <BroUnicorn> Few more questions. I figured out how I can save my files (for anyone following my issues today)
[04:55] <BroUnicorn> I can access the files on my trashed partition table windows partition from ubuntu. However, I don't have full access to Macintosh HD or Windows, so how can I edit my administrative privileges to where I can move files between them easily from ubuntu?
[04:56] <spizzo> I resized my ubuntu partition and installed fedora, but did not allow fedora to install its bootloader; how do I add fedora as an option to ubuntu's bootloader?
[04:56] <BroUnicorn> When I say I don't have full access, I mean that it won't let me move my files to my Mac hard drive. Says I don't have permission.
[04:56] <rkhshm> i'm not able to see the VPN tab at all in network settings on 12.04
[04:56] <rkhshm> any ideas of what is going on here?
[04:56] <rkhshm> my laptop has the same OS version but there I'm seeing the VPN tab but not on my desktop
[04:57] <raz__> hello
[05:00] <dr_willis> jello
[05:01] <BroUnicorn> dr_willis: Hello, would you mind answering merely a few more questions for me?
[05:01] <dr_willis> BroUnicorn:  i can try.
[05:02] <escott> BroUnicorn, are you sure it was permissions and not that the hfs+ was read only
[05:02] <BroUnicorn> escott: It very well could have been that..
[05:02] <dennyabrain> .
[05:02] <escott> BroUnicorn, i believe that the current hfs tools disable writing to HFS+ when the journal is enable
[05:03] <escott> d
[05:03] <BroUnicorn> escott: Okay, that makes sense. What's the journal, and can I disable it in order to save some files?
[05:03] <escott> BroUnicorn, http://superuser.com/questions/84446/how-to-mount-a-hfs-partition-in-ubuntu-as-read-write
[05:05] <rkhshm> any solutions guys?
[05:06] <rkhshm> 12.04 has by far been the worst releases.. can't believe it
[05:06] <BroUnicorn> Okay, I really appreciate it. Although this leads to another question or two. When I click "try ubuntu" terminal doesn't seem to be on the os. How do I get it on there?
[05:06] <dr_willis> BroUnicorn:  alt-ctrl-t or use the dash search feature to sesrch for 'terminal'
[05:07] <djono> hello is it possible to delete my windows partition and join it with my linux partition?

[05:17] <HappyJoe> Hey guys do you know to monitor temps in Kubuntu or lower cpu freqency?
[05:18] <joe9> whereas when I run the same from the command line everything works fine: "sudo service ssh restart" works fine. but from cron, I get that dbus error
[05:20] <HappyJoe> No one can help :(
[05:20] <Nex> Quick question about the dock. I upgraded from 10. something to 12.04 and now it's always on top of my windows. That's valuable screen space I would like back. And no, autohide is not what I'm looking for. Thanks.
[05:21] <escott> !info sensors | HappyJoe
[05:21] <HappyJoe> cool
[05:22] <escott> HappyJoe, lm-sensors rather
[05:22] <escott> HappyJoe, there was a cpufreq utility in the past, but you can directly manage the governor through /sys
[05:23] <psusi> HappyJoe, cpu frequency is automatically raised and lowered as demand requires
[05:23] <escott> joe9, cron execve's the line. it doesn't have a backing sh
[05:23] <renzyyy> hello
[05:23] <HappyJoe> Thanks
[05:23] <joe9> escott: any suggestions on what I should be doing, please?
[05:23] <Nex> Quick question about the dock. I upgraded from 10. something to 12.04 and now it's always on top of my windows. That's valuable screen space I would like back. And no, autohide is not what I'm looking for. Thanks.
[05:23] <escott> joe9, for multi-line things you want to run in cron you should have cron run a shell script with your desired shell
[05:24] <joe9> escott: ok, I will break it 2 lines in the cron script.
[05:24] <joe9> escott: will that help?
[05:24] <escott> joe9, why not just put those in a shell script and call that shell script?
[05:25] <Abhijit> hello. any ffmpeg libavg expert here?
[05:25] <renzyyy> anyone able to assist me with a touchpad issue reading as "PS/2 Generic Mouse" ...?
[05:26] <escott> joe9, also running something in cron every 10 minutes is a bit too often
[05:26] <BroUnicorn> Okay so, I don't know how to fix my trashed partition table.
[05:26] <joe9> escott: I was just testing that out. it does not run every 10 mins, once every 10th minute of the hour, isn't it?
[05:27] <BroUnicorn> I'm attempting to just delete the windows partition so I can restore it to a backup, but it won't even let me do that.
[05:27] <escott> joe9, yeah nevermind
[05:27] <Nex> Quick question about the dock. I upgraded from 10. something to 12.04 and now it's always on top of my windows. That's valuable screen space I would like back. And no, autohide is not what I'm looking for. Thanks.
[05:27] <escott> joe9, you might want to investigate why you are having to restart your tunnel. that would seem to be the real problem
[05:27] <escott> joe9, you can ask ssh to send keep alives, or keep the channel open for a longer period of time
[05:28] <joe9> escott: yes, I have the keepalives and all that sorted.
[05:28] <joe9> I have ssh and autossh in the boot process too.
[05:28] <joe9> escott: I was just trying to restart from cron as a backup measure.
[05:29] <joe9> escott: at this point, I am just testing it out.
[05:30] <worm> I have just installed a new Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86_64 with btrfs for /. However when I boot, I see something like "ERROR: sparse file not allowed". I pressed somekey to continue and found no problem.  I upgraded from 10. something to 12.04 and now it's always on top of my windows. That's valuable screen space I would like back. And no, autohide is not what I'm looking for. Thanks.
[05:32] <Inous> I'm in need of some help
[05:33] <Inous> I'm using ubuntu 12.04
[05:33] <dr_willis> what do you want instead of aut ohideing?
[05:34] <dr_willis> ! ask
[05:34] <worm> But I've heard that someone recommend me to use btrfs for the new features, and the system is already installed. Will that cause any problems or how can I ignore such notification?
[05:34] <dr_willis> worm:  btrfs is experimental
[05:34] <Nex> I want it to function how it previously did. If I go to the desktop it's there, but if I'm in a window I want it to stay behind what I'm doing.
[05:35] <worm> dr_willis: I think that he is looking for the dock in 11.04 to 11.10... That dock is much better.
[05:35] <dr_willis> Nex: the intelihude feature is. gone. autohide or always show are the options
[05:36] <worm> dr_willis: I know that it is experimental, but I think that to try something experimental is important.
[05:36] <Nex> Which is bogus.
[05:36] <dr_willis> ! btrfs
[05:36] <Nex> I'm aware that it's gone, but is there any way to correct that horrible mistake in judgment?
[05:37] <Nex> Whoever decided it should behave as it currently does needs slapped around a good bit.
[05:37] <dr_willis> look for unofficial ppas or replacements perhaps
[05:37] <dr_willis> the code had major bugs I recall
[05:37] <dr_willis> it was discussed in blogs ages ago
[05:38] <Nex> I'm incredibly new to ubuntu. I'm not sure how to do, or understand, much of anything
[05:38] <dr_willis> best fix is to use autohide then
[05:38] <polar> hi
[05:39] <polar> anybody here?
[05:39] <worm> !help|polar
[05:39] <dr_willis> I always use always show
[05:39] <Nex> Bleh, that's craptastic and a half. Autohide is a nuisance.
[05:39] <dr_willis> ! brainstorm
[05:39] <polar> after installing ubuntu, can i upgrade it to ubuntu server later from within ubuntu?
[05:40] <dr_willis> polar: theres no upgrade to do.
[05:40] <Nex> If I wasn't using a laptop I would mind a lot less but it's a horrible waste of screen space.
[05:40] <dr_willis> polar: install the services you need
[05:40] <dr_willis> you can change the icon sizes nex
[05:41] <mesquka> !patience
[05:41] <Nex> yeah, but that isn't really the issue you know? It seems like my only real options are to make it slightly less bothersome, and try to ignore it
[05:42] <dr_willis> the ussue is the big bugs in intelihide...
[05:43] <polar> i have win7 dell i3 laptop with 4G RAM. i am running a application which takes up 100% of the processor. And if i continue to run, it overheats. That application has ubuntu version too...Will using it in ubuntu help with using less processor?
[05:43] <dr_willis> so pick the options mentioned that you want.
[05:43] <dr_willis> polar: what app?
[05:43] <polar> that application's name is GNS3 - it is a networking simulator
[05:43] <Nex> I find it hard to believe there isn't a million and one code monkeys out there that can make a dock that works well and doesn't break all the time...
[05:44] <dr_willis> odd it can overheat a cpu.
[05:44] <dr_willis> ! dick
[05:44] <dr_willis> ! dock
[05:44] <dr_willis> :)
[05:44] <renzyyy> lol...
[05:44] <polar> if i use more than 8 router simulators at a time in that app, yes, my laptop overheats
[05:46] <polar> so my question is, will i see less processor usage when i use the app in ubuntu?
[05:47] <dr_willis> i see gns3 mentioned here every so often. never used it.. if no one else in here knows. you may want to check on askubuntu.com and the forums about it.
[05:49] <polar> GNS3 is used by networking professional to simulate networks, these simulators works exactly like CISCO routers and switches used in the industry. so it is very helpful to build and study and test complex networks, As for me , I am a student studying for CCIE exam.
[05:49] <dr_willis> my degree is in Agricultural Engineering. ;)
[05:50] <polar> wow
[05:50] <dr_willis> I cant even comprehend what a network simulator would actually simulate.. ;P
[05:50] <dr_willis> or why it would run so fast it would need to overload the cpus so much
[05:51] <polar> For example, if you have like a highlllyyyyyy capable server which is extreeeemely powerful, GNS3 is capable of simulating your entire ISP including you and me
[05:51] <dr_willis> But  as i said.. askubuntu.com or the forums may have some info on its  useabilty
[05:52] <polar> ok
[05:53] <dr_willis> unless anyone else in here knows.. but if they did , they would have chimmed in by now i imagine

[06:14] <Inous> My friend is allowing me to use his ubuntu server to install a dedicated server for Counterstrike, but I'm using Putty to login via SSH. Is there a way I can login in to a remote desktop? If not how can I install a remote desktop in order to install the dedicated server
[06:14] <dr_willis> you can edit things in vi or nano or other editors and  then edit them later in gedit...
[06:15] <dr_willis> Inous:  ssh  and the x forwarding feature. or vnc.
[06:15] <giNeeRing> How can I reload the kernel that came with my install?
[06:15] <dr_willis> Inous:  or  freenx
[06:15] <giNeeRing> I modified it according to a guide and now have errors
[06:15] <Not_a_cop> hm. Thanks guys @madprops &  dr_willis
[06:15] <dr_willis> giNeeRing:  modified what exactly?
[06:17] <Not_a_cop> Another question I have is: why is it that I am not able to join #aircrack-ng? It tells me that I need to be verified or something.. (+r) BTW this is literally my first time using irc. I saw a video of weechat it seems legit so far.
[06:17] <skp1> Not_a_cop: gtfo
[06:18] <dr_willis> Not_a_cop:  most likely you need to I Register with the services
[06:18] <serious> i'm getting error when downloading any app  from software center "failed to download respository information"

[06:18] <serious> any1 help me
[06:18] <giNeeRing> dr_willis, followed a guide for a Airlink wireless card, then did kernel config, and I get
[06:18] <giNeeRing> Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.2.6 (i686)
[06:18] <giNeeRing> just one of the errors
[06:19] <dr_willis> serious:  try a different software source/server/repo perhaps?
[06:19] <Not_a_cop> I'm serious I've never used irc before. What does +r mean?
[06:19] <serious> but how to ?
[06:19] <dr_willis> giNeeRing:  if you never did a make install. then it dosent sound like anything installed
[06:19] <giNeeRing> i did a make install
[06:19] <dr_willis> Not_a_cop:  REGIESTERED nicks only
[06:19] <serious> i'm new on blackbuntu

[06:20] <Not_a_cop> oohh, simplicity can be so confusing when you don't know it. and thanks ubottu
[06:21] <giNeeRing> dr_willis, I'm running Bt5 r3, have the install on a hard disk, how could I go about resetting it.
[06:21] <dr_willis> giNeeRing:  you can insrall/remove kernels via the package manager tools. and backtrack has its own support channels.
[06:21] <dr_willis> !bt
[06:21] <giNeeRing> I know, but it is based off of ubuntu
[06:22] <giNeeRing> and no help in the channel
[06:22] <dr_willis> dosent matter... it has its own channels on a differnt server
[06:22] <dr_willis> !backtrack
[06:22] <giNeeRing> no there is one here, maybe i should try different server
[06:22] <dr_willis> thir main channel ISon a differnt server
[06:22] <dr_willis> check their homepage
[06:24] <Guest31016> hello, how could i change grub to lilo?
[06:24] <dr_willis> Guest31016:  given the limits of lilo. that is most likely not a good idea.
[06:24] <dr_willis> im not even sure its doable
[06:25] <magn3ts> Any reason why out of the blue FB and HN would stop resolving on my network... and then be fixed after disabling IPv6 on eth0?
[06:26] <Theodore> hello
[06:26] <Theodore> how do i paste AACS files to ./config when ./config file permissions are grayed out
[06:26] <Guest31016> dr_willis , when installing ubuntu 12.04 using the erase and install option my computer gets freeze at boot couldnt even enter the bios
[06:27] <dr_willis> Theodore:  set the owner and/or permissions of the file to be owned by your current user, would be one way
[06:27] <dr_willis> Theodore:  or edit the file as the root user.
[06:28] <dr_willis> Guest31016:  i dont see how the OS can keep the pc from entering the bios. Unless you got some weird hardware
[06:29] <Guest31016> dr_willis , when installing ubuntu 12.04 using the erase and install option my computer gets freeze at boot couldnt even enter the bios. i had the same problem with 11.04 but solved it using the everything else install option (strange??) unfortunately im not being able to install 12.04 that way
[06:29] <dr_willis> id partion it by hand using gparted how you wanted then use  the 'somthing else' option to set the proper mount points
[06:30] <dr_willis> you may wan tto try 12.10 also
[06:30] <Guest31016>  unfortunately im not being able to install 12.04 that way
[06:30] <Theodore> dr_willis, wouldn't it be easier to just move them to that ./config dir in terminal?
[06:30] <dr_willis> and what does it do when you try..
[06:30] <r4y> I want to know your thoughts about http://ubuntu-gs-remix.sourceforge.net/p/home/
[06:31] <dr_willis> Theodore:  i not sure whata you mean. but ifyou want your user to be able to edit files.. then the permissions need to be set to allow it.
[06:31] <Stephini> since when can linux be installed INSIDE of windows?
[06:31] <Guest31016> dr_willis , it crashes at system locales (something like that)
[06:31] <dr_willis> Stephini:  for ages... last 4+ releases at least
[06:32] <dr_willis> Guest31016:  id cerify the cd/download and make sure it was a good burn. perhaps use a usb/flash drive instead.
[06:32] <dr_willis> verify
[06:32] <Stephini> my last linux was fedora moonshine...so i'm a bit out of the loop...but that is bloody awesome! especially since it turns out i have 4 primary partitions so cant make a new one...
[06:32] <dr_willis> !md5
[06:32] <Guest31016> dr_willis , it crashes at system locales (something like that) to be honest i could do it once (this computer is old and unstable)
[06:32] <dr_willis> Stephini:  thats a wubi install.. and tends to be problematic.. i would suggest not using wubi
[06:33] <Stephini> gahh...then what should i do?
[06:33] <Guest31016> dr_willis , i forget to mention that im doing this on an usb pen drive
[06:34] <dr_willis> Stephini:  you can do a full install to an external usb if you wanted..
[06:34] <Stephini> my laptop doesn't have the usb power for an HDD nore do i have one spare.
[06:34] <dr_willis> or redo your partitions
[06:34] <madprops> what's the name of the notification area that includes the battery, volume icons etc?
[06:34] <uman> assuming a bug was fixed in Debian on November 17th, 2012, when can I expect to see it fixed in Ubuntu?
[06:34] <uman> A bug in a package, that is
[06:35] <dr_willis> uman:  depends on the bug and how critical it was
[06:35] <uman> dr_willis: very non-critical
[06:35] <uman> dr_willis: just some pkg-config files were missing from a package
[06:35] <dr_willis> then it may never get  updated untill the next relesase
[06:35] <uman> dr_willis: that was the thrust of my question
[06:35] <uman> dr_willis: which Ubuntu release will include it
[06:35] <uman> 13.04 ?
[06:35] <dr_willis> perhaps the NEXT release. ;)
[06:35] <Guest31016> dr_willis , what could be different between "erase and install" and everything else options that could make this happen?
[06:36] <uman> dr_willis: ok :)
[06:37] <dr_willis> silly irc client crashed. ;()
[06:37] <BroUnicorn> I'm really worried now.
[06:37] <dr_willis> horray for znc
[06:37] <BroUnicorn> I can't delete the windows partition.
[06:37] <BroUnicorn> It won't let me restore my Mac OSx partition to one single partition
[06:38] <Stephini> not sure how i would do that...acer has a partition that i'm not sure is wise to remove...(hate mesing with partiotions...) windows 8 has two...then all the files i want to go through still is on the other...
[06:39] <dr_willis> Stephini:  if the HD is  GPT partioned - you can have more then 4 primary partitions
[06:39] <uman> how can I use apt-get (or aptitude, or a related tool) to show the contents of an installed package?
[06:39] <dr_willis> i dont think GPT partioned is the right word... ;P
[06:39] <Stephini> GPT partiotioned? not sure what that is...but gparted said i cant have more than the 4...
[06:39] <BroUnicorn> I'm not sure what I can do if I can't even delete the bootcamp partition
[06:39] <dr_willis> guess its not a Gpt disk then.
[06:39] <BroUnicorn> trying to install ubuntu really screwed my partition table
[06:40] <dr_willis> uman:  one of the apt  cli tools can do it.. but i dont recall the one or the syntax.
[06:40] <dr_willis> !apt
[06:41] <BroUnicorn> Can anyone help me to simply restore my Mac to one partition, since my partition table messed up?
[06:41] <wesyk2n1> guys I'm coming to the chat here to see if anyone has seen this issue before and perhaps has a solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2104888
[06:41] <dr_willis> BroUnicorn:  the osx channel might know the best way.  i sure dont
[06:41] <BroUnicorn> Is that on freenode?
[06:41] <dr_willis> !alis
[06:43] <BroUnicorn> I'm being told I need to identify with network services

[06:44] <Guest31016> is it possible to edit the mbr?
[06:44] <BroUnicorn> Oh I see it
[06:45] <dr_willis> Guest31016:  i imagineits possible.. but may not be a good idea
[06:45] <Gemclip> web servers running fine just cant access it via ftp
[06:45] <dr_willis> Gemclip:  install a ftp server perhaps? or  better idea.. use ssh/scp/sftp
[06:46] <dr_willis> !ssh

[07:04] <fqj1994> Hello, I have a question on mirror:// protocol. After apt download the mirror list from http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt, how does it choose the best one ? ping latency, http download test, geolocation or random ? thanks.
[07:05] <giNeeRing> http://pastebin.com/08dZDkqt  -- not sure how to fix
[07:09] <r4y> I just wanted to come here and say I am sorry about being upset the other day on this channel.  There are things that can be installed
[07:09] <r4y> I haven't tried
[07:10] <r4y> I tried Ubuntu but failed in knowing how to make it my own. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 right now
[07:10] <r4y> I meant I tried Ubunt 12 and failed at making it mt own
[07:10] <r4y> I have some bookmarks for some directions to go
[07:12] <linwish_> dont be shy, just try
[07:12] <r4y> Also I have been upset because my computer's motherboard or bios is messed up and I am currently using our other computer which is an emachines computer. Yes I know, ha ha
[07:13] <linwish_> good, practice makes perfect
[07:13] <Stephini> those still exist?
[07:14] <r4y> We, I guess I will be using a virtual program of some type. What should I use for anything other then Ubuntu that is Linux?, I will also be testing Ubuntu as well, as I found this, wait a sec
[07:14] <r4y> http://ubuntu-gs-remix.sourceforge.net/p/home/
[07:15] <r4y> There is also this http://askubuntu.com/questions/61567/how-do-i-change-to-a-theme-not-listed-in-the-appearance-screen
[07:15] <r4y> Anyways, that's all I have to say. Any other suggestions?
[07:16] <joe9> i installed a dual boot windows and ubuntu. grub always boots into windows. I cannot figure out why, /etc/default/grub: GRUB_DEFALT=saved, GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true, and then ran update-grub.
[07:16] <joe9> /boot/grub/grubenv shows the saved_entry as "Ubuntu"
[07:16] <joe9> http://codepad.org/BClAijHA
[07:17] <joe9> http://codepad.org/8KY1QtDA
[07:17] <joe9> results of : grep -ir menuentr grub.cfg
[07:18] <DaemonicApathy> r4y: Depending on how much reading you want to do, you can get some pretty decent results from a standard Ubuntu install: http://i.imgur.com/eDX26.png ; http://i.imgur.com/CR4er.jpg
[07:18] <joe9> do I have to do a grub install or something like that after the above?
[07:20] <CCKA> hey all, question I got a question. After trying to uptade the system the update process failed and /boot is full
[07:20] <CCKA> it filled up with newer kernels and now if I reboot the machine it will not start (so I did not reboot)
[07:21] <CCKA> grub was trying to update from 1 to v2
[07:21] <CCKA> any heal would be great
[07:21] <CCKA> help
[07:21] <subdesign> is it true if I uncheck moduls in tasksel, it'll uninstall them?
[07:22] <r4y> I thought I might as well: http://imagebin.org/243072
[07:23] <BroUnicorn> :(
[07:23] <BroUnicorn> ubuntu ruined my partitions
[07:23] <r4y> Anyways, I should go
[07:24] <r4y> TY and sorry again to anyone here before
[07:24] <r4y> when I was here I mean
[07:24] <r4y> bye :) /
