[17:07] <SolarisB2y> Kircle: possibly you can derive some ideas from the speed they auto-negotiate too if it works?
[17:08] <Kircle> What do you mean by 'auto-negotiate'?
[17:08] <SolarisB2y> unless you set speed/duplex on a hard code - it autonegotiates
[17:08] <gordonjcp> Kircle: it's probably CAT5E
[17:08] <SolarisB2y> most likely
[17:08] <yatta> if I close lid of laptop suspend is activated and lock screen too but it seems that suspend freezes my screen after moving mouse how to fix this?
[17:08] <SolarisB2y> but it could be CAT6
[17:08] <gordonjcp> Kircle: if it's about as thick as a pencil, CAT5E
[17:09] <SolarisB2y> its insulated
[17:09] <gordonjcp> Kircle: if it's about as thick as a Berol pen, CAT6
[17:09] <yatta> i know my enlighs is bad
[17:09] <Kircle> I'll check it now thanks
[17:09] <SolarisB2y> thats an interesting method gordonjcp ..
[17:09] <lickalott> watch no workie
[17:09] <gordonjcp> SolarisB2y: CAT6 has a thick plastic separator up the inside
[17:10] <lickalott> seems like that is more geared for processes
[17:10] <drag0nius> does wondershaper put limits on lan speeds too?
[17:10] <drag0nius> or just wan?
[17:10] <dtcrshr>  I need help in setting up ubuntu networking so locally (via iptables or something) all traffic to web servide (p 80) go redirected to my proxy server. Iv created the rules, changed the forwarding to 1 but didnt worked, is there a different way to use iptables under ubuntu?
[17:10] <SolarisB2y> biggest difference is the bandwidth and features etc for crosstalk etc but if thats a result of extra padding in the bundle - cool
[17:11] <Kircle> The ether cable I'm using now is cat5. But the newer cable seems slightly less thicker. Ow well.
[17:11] <Poindexter_> Hey folks, is there an apt-get for a paste-bin for a private server?
[17:12] <linuxfan> hello octane
[17:12] <linuxfan>  hinardev
[17:13] <linuxfan> need some help anyone?
[17:13] <linuxfan> hi wiz
[17:14] <linuxfan> hi ring1
[17:14] <gordonjcp> !ask | linuxfan
[17:14] <linuxfan> can someone help with my ubuntu q&a
[17:15] <MonkeyDust> linuxfan  let's hear it
[17:15] <TDJACR> So I have two new 3TB Seagate 6Gbps Hard Drives
[17:15] <linuxfan> i cant downnlowd audacity
[17:15] <TDJACR> I haven't used them yet, but SMART is saying there are thousands of read/seek errors
[17:15] <TDJACR> Is this a bug, or do I have two DOA drives?
[17:15] <yatta> system preferences --> power --> when the lid is closed = do nothing, do nothing
[17:15] <TDJACR> (Will post SMART)
[17:15] <linuxfan> my browser keeps blockig it
[17:15] <andrewx> Is anyone here familiar with 'xclip' utility? I have a problem.
[17:15] <gordonjcp> TDJACR: SMART says a lot of things
[17:16] <TDJACR> gordonjcp: It's showing seek/read errors in the thousands
[17:16] <gordonjcp> linuxfan: install it from the software centre
[17:16] <Poindexter_> TDJACR most hard drives have bad sectors on them from the factory.
[17:16] <yatta> linuxfan, ubuntu software center?
[17:16] <gordonjcp> TDJACR: yup
[17:16] <TDJACR> Poindexter_: This seems almost like a bug in the SMART protocol
[17:16] <serban> hi, i installed compiz settings manager, played around with some settings and now switching between workspaces(CTRL+ALT+arrows) doesnt work anymore. I removed CCSM
[17:16] <TDJACR> Or I have two DOA drives
[17:16] <MonkeyDust> linuxfan  sudo apt-get install audacitiy
[17:16] <MonkeyDust> linuxfan  sudo apt-get install audacity
[17:17] <gordonjcp> TDJACR: SMART is currently telling me that my drive is at 350°C and has roughly 2.5PB of bad sectors
[17:17] <linuxfan> I have old ubuntu 9.04
[17:17] <Poindexter_> TDJACR is the SMART a Windows software?
[17:17] <linuxfan> won't work
[17:17] <yatta> linuxfan, that's gonna be hard
[17:17] <TDJACR> gordonjcp: SMART seems to be working on all the other drives =/
[17:17] <yatta> I have 9.04 can't do a thing
[17:17] <gordonjcp> linuxfan: you pretty much need to update
[17:18] <yatta> except eclipse and firefox
[17:18] <auronandace> !9.04
[17:18] <Poindexter_> TDJACR, don't forget that any time you use a 3 TByte drive that the BIOS may not recognize it. Are you using a new Motherboard with SATA?
[17:18] <linuxfan> I am just trying edit a recording i made
[17:19] <andrewx> Is anyone here familiar with 'xclip' ?
[17:19] <antonio_> ciao ragazzi, il mio ubuntu 11.04 è molto lento... cosa posso fare???
[17:19] <Pici> !it | antonio_
[17:19] <TDJACR> Poindexter_: It should, I'm using a P55-USB from Gigabyte, with 6 SATA ports 3Gbps
[17:19] <linuxfan> another question? what is a  stable distro for old pc's
[17:19] <yatta> linuxfan, I know this may not be what you want but you'd be better with ubuntu 12.04
[17:19] <marcappuccino> !eol
[17:20] <marcappuccino> !upgrade
[17:20] <TDJACR> Poindexter_: gordonjcp: http://image.bayimg.com/nabgaaaek.jpg
[17:20] <Poindexter_> TDJACR lots of the older mother boards will not handle and nor were they disigned for the newest Storage Space such as the 3 Tbytes.
[17:20] <TDJACR> Poindexter_: It's from 2010 and has USB3. Is that old?
[17:21] <linuxfan> yatta I got ubuntu 1204 lts 2copies! one of xubuntu and one of linux mint
[17:21] <Poindexter_> TD check with your manufacturer.
[17:21] <marcappuccino> Is your drive SATA?
[17:21] <TDJACR> Yes SATA
[17:21] <linuxfan> none of them install rihgt
[17:21] <TheLordOfTime> linuxfan:  mint isnt a supported derivative
[17:21] <TheLordOfTime> !mint | linuxfan
[17:21] <TDJACR> And why would it have every other SMART attribute normal
[17:21] <Poindexter_> TD I installed a 1.5 Tbyte on my Dell computer and when I use XP Pro it crashes using the Windows <SEARCH>
[17:22] <marcappuccino> Maybe something in the BIOS settings, to make sure flash and update your bios and look around the settings
[17:22] <conradin> lickalot, you there?
[17:22] <conradin> how about writing a sed function
[17:22] <Poindexter_> TD is your system 32 bit or 64?
[17:22] <yatta> linuxfan, I can't install packages in 9.04
[17:22] <TheLordOfTime> !9.04 | yatta
[17:22] <conradin> sed -n 2p /path/to/someFile.txt
[17:23] <linuxfan> I have many burned and one bought distro dvd's but wont work on my pc
[17:23] <ClientAlive> I have no sound on my desktop - what am I missing to make it work?
[17:23] <TheLordOfTime> yatta:  its end of life, therefore you can't install stuff, since those repos are kind of... um... not useable
[17:23] <yatta> yees yes
[17:23] <yatta> I know
[17:23] <TDJACR> Poindexter_: 64
[17:23] <krababbel> TDJACR: are those internal drives, or usb3?
[17:23] <marcappuccino> @client go to settings > sounf and make sure the output is the correct one
[17:23] <Poindexter_> USB
[17:23] <marcappuccino> *sound
[17:23] <TDJACR> krababbel: I know for sure my USB3 enclosure doesn't work with them, so I'm using standard SATA internal
[17:24] <krababbel> TDJACR: why doesn't it work?
[17:24] <krababbel> mine does
[17:24] <marcappuccino> SATA I II or III
[17:24] <yatta> linuxfan, so you have problem with installing 12.04 on old machine?
[17:24] <marcappuccino> ?
[17:24] <TDJACR> krababbel: The enclosure itself only supports up to 2 TB
[17:24] <usr13> yatta: Your best bet is to back up your home and re-install a supported version, (I would suggest 10.04 or 12.04 (LTS).  (Especially since you dont seem to be hevily into upgrading.)
[17:24] <TDJACR> (I was an idiot for overlooking that)
[17:24] <conradin> #!/bin/bash
[17:24] <conradin> var=1
[17:24] <conradin> sometime=5
[17:24] <conradin> for i in {0..10500..1}
[17:24] <conradin> do
[17:24] <FloodBot1> conradin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:24] <conradin> sed -n varp  vim.txt
[17:24] <krababbel> TDJACR: what, didn't know the enclosure cares about what you connect to it
[17:25] <linuxfan> yes yatta cuase I think I have no internet
[17:25] <yatta> usr13, I have dual boot 9.04 and 12.04 and I use 12.04
[17:25] <krababbel> I guess I am lucky having only 2TB
[17:25] <linuxfan> most new distros are web dependent
[17:25] <Poindexter_> TD are you trying to mount these drives on a Linux box or a Windows box?
[17:25] <usr13> yatta: I C
[17:25] <TDJACR> krababbel: Neither did I
[17:25] <usr13> yatta: So just ditch 9.04
[17:25] <yatta> usr13, also because of that boot time is slow
[17:26] <TDJACR> Poindexter_: I'm on a Linux box. Get the same errors with Ubuntu and Arch
[17:26] <yatta> so yes I amgoing to remove ubuntu 9.04
[17:26] <ClientAlive> It seems I have all the alsa stuff and pulsaudio, etc, etc. I'm wondering if I shouldn't check my bios settings, as this is a relatively new build and the sound has never worked on it yet.
[17:26] <TDJACR> They mount fine and sound okay (no click of death)
[17:26] <TDJACR> I'm just wary of using them with thousands of reported errors
[17:26] <Poindexter_> TD check to see if there is an upgrade for the BIOS and check the manufacturer.
[17:26] <WeThePeople> hi
[17:26] <krababbel> TDJACR: other than switching cables, try formatting and using the drive, you'd see if smart is right
[17:26] <ClientAlive> brb
[17:26] <linuxfan> i am running christian ubuntu edition every one!! 9.04
[17:27] <usr13> ClientAlive: Are you sure it's not muted or turned down and that you have working speakers plugged into an active port?
[17:27] <krababbel> TDJACR: fill them with something
[17:27] <TDJACR> I'm going to use dd and fill with random data. If it gets an IO error, I'll know
[17:27] <marcappuccino> format using the GUID partition table as it is more modern
[17:27] <yatta> can anyone tell me what's default of type of visualization in movie player?
[17:27] <krababbel> TDJACR: usually these things either break completely in a short time, or they are good for a long time
[17:27] <Poindexter_> Krababbel, good point. But, I should hope that there is no DATA on the drives. Formatting is always good but consider the file type.
[17:28] <szal> [19:25:06] <linuxfan> yes yatta cuase I think I have no internet <- how are you here then?
[17:28] <marcappuccino> but remember to add a 1MB biosgrup flagged partition (you are not limited to 4 primary partitions)
[17:28] <krababbel> Poindexter_: I guess these are new and empty :)
[17:28] <conradin> lickalot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1172222/
[17:28] <linuxfan> szal I am tethering my sister android phone
[17:29] <TDJACR> krababbel: Poindexter_  They're empty. I have four drives currently in RAID-1  (two pair), and I'm about to make a 5-drive raid-6 array. I need to put all the files on the 3 TB drives, so they have to be reliable
[17:29] <GiantChip> how can i make it so the swapdrive partition is on from start up.
[17:29] <lickalott> trying now conradin
[17:29] <Poindexter_> TD you never mentioned RAID.
[17:29] <Poindexter_> That is a different story.
[17:29] <marcappuccino> @Giantchip it is already activated on startup
[17:29] <amaar> hi
[17:30] <GiantChip> marcappuccino> no it's not. I have to manually turn it on after every restart
[17:30] <Poindexter_> RAID with USB is not a great idea.
[17:30] <Poindexter_> Unless you have a USB HUB internal.
[17:30] <marcappuccino> @Giantchip go on gparted and look at your swap partition it should have a lock symbol next to it if not right click > swapon
[17:31] <linuxfan> thinking of dual booting windows and linux
[17:31] <TDJACR> Poindexter_: The drives with the SMART errors are neither in RAID or on USB
[17:31] <linuxfan> unless I can get internet first
[17:31] <TDJACR> Poindexter_: They are connected SATA, internal, and aren
[17:31] <TDJACR> t in an arry
[17:31] <Poindexter_> The higher the frequency of th4e CPU and any device means critical location of the physical device.
[17:32] <GiantChip> marcappuccino> that's the steps i have to do manually everytime i restart. I want it to be turned on auto for that
[17:32] <marcappuccino> Usually it is, is this a fresh install?
[17:32] <EmoSpice> GiantChip: looking to enable swap on startup? (or did I read wrong?)
[17:32] <Poindexter_> Location of internal cables is critical as well.
[17:33] <GiantChip> EmoSpice> i want to to be turned on when startup.
[17:33] <marcappuccino> Maybe something in /etc/fstab but im not experienced with that
[17:33] <[snake]> I think I fixed my grub resolution, how do I get into the menu?
[17:33] <GiantChip> marcappuccino> I know. but for some reason it doens't do that.
[17:33] <EmoSpice> GiantChip: Is the drive present in /etc/fstab?
[17:33] <linuxfan> snake ? how is your internet speed?
[17:33] <EmoSpice> marcappuccino: luckily, I am :P
[17:33] <marcappuccino> :)
[17:33] <[snake]> linuxfan, about 300kb/s
[17:33] <lickalott> conradin - ./run.csh: line 6: wait: pid 5 is not a child of this shell
[17:33] <lickalott> ^Csed: -e expression #1, char 2: extra characters after command
[17:34] <Poindexter_> RAID arrays can emit crosstalk across the cables if they are too close at high frequencies.
[17:34] <linuxfan> snake been thinking bout using verizon vs tmobile?
[17:35] <GiantChip> EmoSpice> yes
[17:36] <[snake]> linuxfan, lol... looking at my interwebz when I join the channel have you? I might recommend it... I'm not sure. It's really my dad's I don't pay for internet.
[17:36] <[snake]> how do I grub menu when I boot up? shift or something right?
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> [snake]: hold SHIFT at boot
[17:37] <linuxfan> snake -oh, just considering verizon cuase I know it claims to be fast
[17:37] <EmoSpice> GiantChip: can you pastebin the file? (please don't use pastebin.com)
[17:37] <[snake]> ActionParsnip, thanks you're always good help :)
[17:37] <[snake]> linuxfan, no one claims to be slow though :P otherwise they wouldn't sell haha.
[17:38] <Poindexter_> TD have you tried the same configuration with another computer?
[17:38] <GiantChip> EmoSpice> think i saved a step there
[17:38] <linuxfan> snake- tmobile is cheaper price
[17:39] <GiantChip> EmoSpice> i'm lookign at it now says that swap was on /dev/sdb5 during installation. I don't have a sdb5 it's odd. can i cahnge it to current layer?
[17:39] <mrkent> anyone know how to check what my "system fixed width font" is?
[17:39] <marcappuccino> Snake - are you using a 3g dongle
[17:39] <marcappuccino> I@mrkent if you are using ubuntu it is Ubuntu Mono
[17:39] <zetheroo> I want to rsync the contents of my /Home/user/Pictures directory to /mnt/2TB/Pictures .... what is the best command for that?
[17:39] <conradin> lickalot, is think there needs to be a space in $ip ... $i p
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo: I'd use grsync if you have a desktop UI
[17:40] <EmoSpice> zetheroo: rsync
[17:40] <conradin> also, it seems to baulk at wait. perhaps sleep will work better
[17:40] <zetheroo> I would use the Deja Dup Backup solution in Ubuntu, but I am not sure how it backs up ...
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> !backup | zetheroo
[17:40] <linuxfan> thanks to every one for help, time to experiment on getting my audio problem fixed
[17:41] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip: is grsync a GUI for rsync?
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo: yes
[17:41] <JessicaW> how do you reinstall a module?
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> !info grsync
[17:42] <johan_1337> please help me i cant uninstall or install from software manager, what to do?
[17:42] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip: ok will check it out - tks
[17:42] <k1l_> johan_1337: why that? is there an error message?
[17:42] <lidar> wb me
[17:42] <b3rz3rk3r_> im trying to change the I/O scheduler to "noop" on my SSD. It's mounted in Fstab as "sdd", but i get an error saying it doesnt exist? Gparted shows it as "sdc" but when trying to change that i get permission denied, even with sudo and correct password. Help?
[17:43] <k1l_> johan_1337: open a terminal and type: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"  and put the output into a pastebini pls
[17:43] <JessicaW> cifs module appears to have something wrong with it.
[17:43] <johan_1337> it says another software is using it but i had reboot my computer 2 times
[17:43] <JessicaW> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1172241/
[17:43] <marcappuccino> Did it say something about /var/lock or something?
[17:43] <marcappuccino> johan
[17:44] <johan_1337> i sent the output to you
[17:44] <marcappuccino> did you
[17:45] <marcappuccino> where?
[17:45] <k1l_> johan_1337: support ply just in this channel
[17:45] <andrewx> Anyone here familiar with 'xclip' utility?
[17:45] <k1l_> johan_1337: but did you try the command that is mentioned in the error msg?
[17:46] <johan_1337> it is downloading something for platinum art sandbox
[17:46] <johan_1337> i typed sudo dpkg --configure -a
[17:46] <EmoSpice> andrewx: somewhat, why?
[17:46] <andrewx> printf ${cmd} | xclip -i -selection clipboard    cmd='this is a test', only "this" gets copied! why? how do I get whole string with spaces?
[17:46] <johan_1337> how can i stop the download? i need to save connection i have mobile broadband
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> andrewx: you may need to escape the spaces
[17:47] <marcappuccino> If it is from the terminal try Ctrl + D
[17:47] <andrewx> Example please?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> andrewx:   cmd='this\ is\ a\ test'
[17:47] <andrewx> oh dear...
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> andrewx: or try using double quots
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> andrewx:  cmd="this is a test"
[17:48] <andrewx> " does what ' does
[17:48] <andrewx> won't work! :(
[17:48] <EmoSpice> if I'm not mistaken, double quotes fixes that in sane shells.
[17:48] <Newb100> Hi, Im trying to use putty to ssh into nother computer, cant seem to do it
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> andrewx: try with the escaped characters
[17:48] <Newb100> Hi, Im trying to use putty to ssh into nother computer, cant seem to do it. any help?
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: did you install openssh-server
[17:48] <LiDaR> !patience > Newb100
[17:48] <Newb100> ActionParsnip, yep
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: please don't repeast like that
[17:49] <andrewx> This isn't working!
[17:49] <andrewx> I actually get \ now! in the string
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: can the system ssh to localhost?
[17:49] <johan_1337> what is this commando doing?  "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[17:49] <JessicaW> trying to figure out how to remove a module with modprobe
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> andrewx: have you asked in #bash ?
[17:49] <andrewx> next suggestion?
[17:49] <andrewx> I think its either an issue with xclip, globbing, or some such...
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> JessicaW: sudo modprobe -r name
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> JessicaW: the man pae tells you, there's nothing to 'work out'
[17:50] <belgianguy> anyone know if the OpenJDK is vulnerable to the 0-day Java exploit?
[17:50] <JessicaW> ActionParsnip: thanks. do I need to stop the services associated with it first?
[17:50] <LiDaR> johan_1337: updates package list from server .. then updates the packages on your computer
[17:50] <k1l_> johan_1337: it updates your system.
[17:50] <marcappuccino> it is updating the packages you have then upgrading your software johan
[17:50] <Newb100> ActionParsnip, I loaded putty on my machine and the host machine. I'm unclear what to after that point.
[17:50] <k1l_> johan_1337: come back when you have you not-mobil connection set up
[17:50] <EmoSpice> andrewx:  echo "this is a test" | xclip -i -selection clipboard
[17:50] <EmoSpice> works just fine for me
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: can the system connect to itself via ssh?
[17:50] <johan_1337> ok
[17:50] <johan_1337> bye
[17:50] <Newb100> ActionParsnip, will try
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: isn't that an obvious thing to try first?
[17:51] <Newb100> ActionParsnip, should it make a difference if I'm running it in a virtual machine
[17:51] <JessicaW> ActionParsnip: I'm not just trying to work out how to remove it. I'm trying to figure out why it stopped working in the first place and fix it. modprobe cifs > FATAL: Module .ignore_install not found.
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: you may need to set the network to bridged, so it appears on the LAN, otherwise you will need to setup extra stuff
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> JessicaW: what does the output mean?
[17:52] <zetheroo> with rsync, if a file is deleted from the source location will it be deleted from the destination ?
[17:52] <LiDaR> i cant get below 200 mb of ram usage im stuck at 214
[17:52] <JessicaW> ActionParsnip: No clue. I've googled it several different ways and no one seems to know what it is.
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo: no,its just copied over if there is a newer version on the source
[17:53] <andrewx> Yippee! #Bash fixed it! Thanks!
[17:53] <mrkent> marcappuccino, I just switched from mint to archlinux, but I like the default font in mint
[17:53] <marcappuccino> Increase swappiness - google it
[17:53] <EmoSpice> andrewx: what was it?
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> JessicaW: its a network setting in virtualbox, you'll need to power off the vm to change it. Can the system ssh to itself?
[17:53] <zetheroo> ActionParsnip: is there any way to have it so that if a file is removed from the source it is also removed from the destination?
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> andrewx: sweet
[17:53] <marcappuccino> I beleive it still is ubuntu mono
[17:53] <JessicaW> ActionParsnip: it's not a virtual machine. It's a physical server
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> zetheroo: there is an option for that, i'm unsure if it's in the GUI. The GUI does give the command it is running so you can copy it and modify
[17:54] <JessicaW> ActionParsnip: and yes. it can ssh to itself.
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> JessicaW: can the client ping the server?
[17:54] <andrewx> Proper syntax is:  printf '%s' "$cmd" | xclip -i -selection clipboard
[17:54] <andrewx> that works perfectly!
[17:54] <JessicaW> ActionParsnip: yes
[17:54] <JessicaW> ActionParsnip: and I can mount the shares from any of my other linux boxes.
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> JessicaW: try:   ssh -vv username@server
[17:56] <JessicaW> ActionParsnip: we do not have ssh enabled on that windows machine.
[17:56] <belgianguy> anyone know if the OpenJDK is vulnerable to the 0-day Java exploit?
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> JessicaW: oh, then is there a logging option in putty?
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> belgianguy: I'd ask in #java
[17:57] <iunruh> anyone here experienced with lightdm + LDAP?
[17:57] <baizon> belgianguy: i think so, because its based on Oracle Java
[17:57] <iunruh> anyone at alllll
[17:57] <jasonz> unable to buy software from ubuntu software centre after buying humble bundle can anyone help?
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> iunruh: give people a chance to reply....jesus
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> iunruh: 9 seconds is all you waited, literally
[17:58] <JessicaW> ActionParsnip: yes.
[17:58] <marcappuccino> @jasonz how is there an error message
[17:58] <JessicaW> belgianguy: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852051
[17:58] <HAMKoot> belgianguy, no, OpenJDK is not affected, AFAIK.
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> JessicaW: ok then use the logs and see what is going on
[17:58] <iunruh> ActionParsnip: it was for dramatic effect!
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> JessicaW: I'd switch the networking to bridged
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> iunruh: it didn't work
[17:59] <trism> JessicaW: do you have a .conf file with an install cifs line in /etc/modprobe.d/ ? I noticed some random superuser question with something like: install cifs /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install cifs; and I notice if you typo --ignore-install as .ignore-install it gives the error from your pastebin
[17:59] <belgianguy> thx JessicaW, that's what I needed to see
[17:59] <javier_nicolas> a question for developers of webapps is here? it's about a "bug", or not, that is my question
[18:00] <JessicaW> trism: checking
[18:00] <HAMKoot> JessicaW, "IcedTea-Web using OpenJDK7 blocks this exploit by not allowing applet to change the SecurityManager (which is allowed in Oracle and IBM Java plugin) " so not affected
[18:01] <baizon> HAMKoot: thanks for the info, didnt know that
[18:01] <baizon> and sorry for the wrong information
[18:01] <JessicaW> ditto
[18:01] <JessicaW> trism: install cifs /sbin/modprobe .ignore-install cifs
[18:01] <belgianguy> ah, thanks for the extra clarification HAMKoot
[18:01] <JessicaW> trism: looks right to me
[18:01] <JessicaW> trism: err... I mean wrong
[18:02] <JessicaW> trism: do you have a link for that?
[18:02] <jotajota> someone know an mirc scripting channel?
[18:03] <javier_nicolas> can I make a question from Webapps here?
[18:03] <trism> JessicaW: this is the superuser question, looks like a workaround, but it has no answers: http://superuser.com/questions/459689/how-to-disable-opportunity-locking-on-red-hat-5-centos-5 (not really sure what it is for, I don't actually have a cifs .conf file here, just made one for testing)
[18:03] <baizon> jotajota: wrong channel for a windows app =)
[18:03] <LiDaR> mirc is a windows program use xchat .. or something linux!
[18:04] <JessicaW> trism: TOTALLY JUST FIXED IT
[18:04] <trism> JessicaW: excellent
[18:04] <Aegir> Aegir (Has quit)
[18:04] <JessicaW> trism: I want to make out with you right now. THANK YOU.
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> jotajota: irssi has a tonne of scripting ability
[18:04] <EmoSpice> weechat ftw :P
[18:05] <Newb100> ActionParsnip, So I load up putty gui, then what do I do?
[18:05] <Pici> javier_nicolas: This channel is for support of the Ubuntu distro, theres probably a better channel for your question.
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: no idea, i don't us it
[18:05] <jotajota> ActionParsnip irssi?
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> jotajota: yes
[18:06] <Pici> !alis | javier_nicolas
[18:06] <ZDroid_Ubuntu> XChat is bets
[18:06] <ZDroid_Ubuntu> *best
[18:06] <iunruh> irssi!
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> ZDroid_Ubuntu: not for scripting :)
[18:06] <baizon> indeed, using xchat :)
[18:06] <EmoSpice> weechat!
[18:06] <ZDroid_Ubuntu> irssi is great for commands
[18:06] <EmoSpice> are we just shouting names of software we like?
[18:06] <ZDroid_Ubuntu> and advanced
[18:06] <javier_nicolas> ok, thanks
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> ZDroid_Ubuntu: thats what is needed, xchat doesn't fit the needs here
[18:06] <ZDroid_Ubuntu> using
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> ZDroid_Ubuntu: so is in no way best
[18:06] <Pici> !best
[18:07] <MonkeyDust> <3 irssi
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> ZDroid_Ubuntu: mainly because a single best doesn't exist
[18:07] <ZDroid_Ubuntu> There are three FloodBots
[18:07] <jotajota> does anyone know anything about mirc scripting or where to get help in this network?
[18:07] <Pici> ZDroid_Ubuntu: Thats right.
[18:07] <Pici> jotajota: try ##mirc
[18:07] <belgianguy> Dora the Explorer: Three!
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> jotajota: try in ##windows
[18:07] <jotajota> thanks
[18:08] <jotajota> i'll be using a linux alternative in some days
[18:08] <ssta> ircii ftw :)
[18:09] <marcappuccino> Anyone know why there are random horizontal red lines in XChat
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> pidgin here :)
[18:09] <Pici> Can we please get back to support?
[18:09] <EmoSpice> marcappuccino: I think that's focus indication?
[18:09] <EmoSpice> do they happen when you switch away from the window?
[18:09] <HAMKoot> marcappuccino, it is a last view line
[18:09] <marcappuccino> What is that?
[18:10] <HAMKoot> marcappuccino, or "mark line' in preferences.
[18:10] <EmoSpice> it's point when you last viewed the window.
[18:10] <marcappuccino> Oh i swiched windows and the line appeared
[18:10] <marcappuccino> Thanks
[18:10] <jotajota> is there any problem update the kernel in ubuntu?
[18:10] <LiDaR> Pici: what support do you need ?
[18:11] <marcappuccino> @jojota no...? why would there be
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> jotajota: no, they are downloaded in normal updates
[18:11] <Pici> LiDaR: *I* don't need any support, but this channel is for supporting others, not random chat about what IRC client is best.
[18:11] <marcappuccino> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:12] <EmoSpice> boy...I didn't see any support requests come in while we were talking. I guess we should've been just waiting for someone to ask, rather than carrying on a somewhat meaningful conversation in the mantime.
[18:12] <EmoSpice> s/mantime/mean time/
[18:12] <marcappuccino> Bye everyone
[18:12] <xangua> EmoSpice: that's what #ubuntu-offtopic is for , This is Only support
[18:13] <Newb100> ActionParsnip, When I ssh into the computer, I try to open gedit but it fails
[18:13] <brian__> hi
[18:13] <Newb100> ActionParsnip, nano and Vi wirk though?
[18:14] <EmoSpice> Newb100: enable X11 forwarding
[18:14] <LiDaR> Newb100: gedit is gui program you will need to use nano / vi or other cli program
[18:14] <cherfas> every few seconds the multimedia gets lagged for a second or so. it happens in flash, and also when playing music that is stored on my computer. also, i checked the system monitor and i'v noticed that every time it happens one of my cpus peaks.
[18:14] <cherfas> system: linuxmint maya 13 ,processor: quad core cpu intel i5-2500k, 8GB ram , graphics card: Geforce GTX560 Ti
[18:14] <brian__> Does anyone know how to read the first 3 bits of a ushort in python (already asked python)
[18:14] <LiDaR> cherfas: it is because your not using ubuntu!!
[18:15] <cherfas> LiDaR, linuxmint is pretty much the same no?
[18:15] <brian__> i use mint and i can open gedit and play videos using mplayer on remote machine over ssh
[18:15] <EmoSpice> ...again: enable X11 forwarding.
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: do you have xming installed and running?
[18:16] <Pici> !mintsupport | cherfas
[18:16] <Newb100> ActionParsnip, Nope
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: your junk Windows OS doesn't have an X server to attach the apps to, so you need to install and run one
[18:16] <cherfas> ok thanks
[18:16] <Aegir> Aegir heeft verlaten (Quit)
[18:16] <brian__> Does anyone know how to read the first 3 bits of a ushort in python (already asked python)
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: you also need to enable the option in putty to allow X applications to run
[18:17] <brian__> whats the terminal command that tells you what version of operating system your using
[18:17] <EmoSpice> brian__: cat /etc/motd will give you some distro specific stuff, but if it's stuff like kernal etc that you want, use uname.
[18:18] <Pici> brian__: lsb_release -r
[18:18] <WeThePeople> brian__, see #programming
[18:18] <WeThePeople> ##
[18:18] <Pici> brian__: and you'll need to use #python, we cannot support those sorts of things here.
[18:18] <brian__> EmoSpice:  Thats the one i was looking
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: http://ait.web.psi.ch/services/ssh/images/putty-xf.gif    shows how you can enable X forwarding in putty
[18:20] <Newb100> yks
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: running xming and that option before starting the connection, you can run GUI apps
[18:21] <Newb100> cool
[18:22] <krychu> Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to write any extensions/plugins to ubuntu HUD ?
[18:22] <tziemann_> yes
[18:22] <tziemann_> anything is possible with Linux
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: its fun to run GUI sound apps and the sound willcome from the server but be controllable by the client system :)
[18:23] <EmoSpice> or just use mpd :)
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> EmoSpice: x forwarding is easier to setup :)
[18:23] <krychu> tziemann_: but is there any API or this would rather mean changing the sources of the HUD?
[18:23] <EmoSpice> ActionParsnip: then you've been setting up mpd wrong :P
[18:24] <tziemann_> krychu: Yes there is 3 ways actually
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> EmoSpice: the openssh-server is all you need to install, mpd needs tweaking and such
[18:24] <EmoSpice> ActionParsnip: No more than any other media client. Irregardless, I don't want to start a flame war :P
[18:25] <krychu> tziemann_: I couldn't find any specific information on it, could you point me to some good sources?
[18:25] <tziemann_>  yeah
[18:27] <tziemann_> krychu: Here you go, hope this helps. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=write+extensions%2Fplugins+to+ubuntu+HUD
[18:28] <Newb100> ActionParsnip, Yep x11 works but vert very slow
[18:29] <Pici> krychu: sorry about that, let me see if I can get you something that actually might be useful.
[18:29] <krychu> Pici: thanks
[18:29] <natsirt> hello
[18:29] <morganwk> can someone help me with compiling a tarball
[18:29] <morganwk> nothing I try works
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: try enablingcompression
[18:31] <Pici> krychu: You might be able to find some resources by asking the devs in #ubuntu-unity
[18:31] <morganwk> hm
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> morganwk: is there no ppa?
[18:31] <k1l_> morganwk: what are you trying, what doesnt work? any errors?
[18:31] <krychu> Pici: thank you, I wasn't aware of that channel
[18:33] <morganwk> so: I download the tar.gz, I extract it, and then, as my linuxer friend suggested, I opened up the command and typed "make" and then the directory of the extracted tar.  then it said: "make: Nothing to be done for" and then the directory.
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> morganwk: what is it a tarball of?
[18:33] <morganwk> boodler
[18:33] <krychu> Pici: it is a part of a research project, I don't have experience with ubuntu, would you perhaps know how to get menu items (structure) of all applications installed in ubuntu? I tried dbusmenu.Client().get_root() but that returns nothing
[18:33] <morganwk> some ambience generator thing
[18:34] <morganwk> why isn't there a program that compiles stuff for you by now?
[18:34] <morganwk> it's far too complicated
[18:34] <v0lksman> ^ love this statement
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> morganwk: compilingisn't for the lay-user
[18:35] <k1l_> !compile | morganwk
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> morganwk: what is the name of the tarball you extracted?
[18:35] <morganwk> ummm
[18:35] <eamagoo_> hi
[18:35] <natsirt> krychu: did that work?
[18:35] <morganwk> Boodler-2.0.4.tar.gz
[18:35] <eamagoo_> I need some help
[18:36] <v0lksman> morganwk: http://boodler.org/dl/doc/install.html
[18:36] <v0lksman> no make needed...it's a python script
[18:36] <krychu> natsirt: no, that returned None
[18:36] <eamagoo_> I think I broke udev config
[18:36] <k1l_> !ask | eamagoo_
[18:37] <eamagoo_> or something
[18:37] <morganwk> so it tells me things to type in the prompt, however
[18:37] <morganwk> does it need the directory?
[18:37] <qrostnia> .
[18:37] <qrostnia> ··"[FloodBot1]"··
[18:37] <sukima> When I put the Ubuntu ISO on a thumb drive I can run it on several machines. But when I insytalled Ubuntu to an external drive and tried to boot one each machine the graphics have errors. How do you install all the benifits of a "live USB ISO" on an installed Ubuntu system?
[18:37] <devccplus>
[18:37] <Pici> krychu: I don't have enough familiarity with dbus or HUD to be able to answer you.
[18:37] <krychu> Pici: ok, thank you anyways will ask the unity guys
[18:38] <johan_1337> how to update kubuntu system?
[18:38] <v0lksman> morganwk: If you list the source directory, you will see the following arrangement:
[18:38] <v0lksman> morganwk: 1) Type python setup.py build
[18:38] <eamagoo_> ok, sory, as I said I think I broke udev config or fstab because I cant mount my pen drive anymore
[18:38] <k1l_> johan_1337: are you on not-mobil now?
[18:38] <morganwk> it says no such file or directory
[18:38] <johan_1337> i am on mobil but i still need help
[18:39] <v0lksman> morganwk: did you list the directory and see the same thing as they list on the install doc?
[18:39] <k1l_> johan_1337: you will need to download files
[18:39] <krychu> natsirt: I tried dbusmenu-dumper but it complains about com.canonical.AppMenu.Registrar name not being provided by any service
[18:39] <LiDaR> johan_1337: does the computer have a internet conenction ?
[18:39] <johan_1337> i have 3 gig now to download
[18:39] <Kartagis> hi
[18:39] <k1l_> johan_1337: then do "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" in a terminal
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> morganwk: I found a PPA butits for Karmic
[18:39] <johan_1337> my friend helped my with 3 gig
[18:39] <Kartagis> can you remind me the name of the cairo-dock config tool?
[18:40] <natsirt> krychu: Did you try development
[18:40] <eamagoo_> the goal is to connect to a iscsi storage
[18:40] <johan_1337> thanks
[18:40] <eamagoo_> i did that but I cant make permanent
[18:40] <eamagoo_> I need the conection ready on boot
[18:41] <krychu> natsirt: no, I installed 12.04.1
[18:41] <johan_1337> can someone help me with widgets? i klick download but it wont download widgets
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> morganwk: you do realise that app hasn't been updated since 7th March 2011.....its pretty dead
[18:41] <natsirt> krychu: interesting...
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> morganwk: what does the app do?
[18:41] <johan_1337> please help me with that <k1l_>
[18:41] <k1l_> johan_1337: sry i dont know kde
[18:42] <johan_1337> ok, what OS are you using?
[18:43] <k1l_> johan_1337: ubuntu :) but not with kde
[18:43] <v0lksman> morganwk: it's python so you could also try 'pip install boodler' granted it won't install 2.0.4 it will be 2.0.3 but much less hassle
[18:43] <johan_1337> ok
[18:44] <k1l_> johan_1337: but your last problem was that you wanted to update your system :/
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> v0lksman: s/he's gone
[18:45] <sukima> How do you install *all* graphics drivers and have the system autodetect?
[18:45] <johan_1337> yes?
[18:45] <v0lksman> ActionParsnip: yep...was just about to get to the good parts...installing python headers... :)  ah well
[18:45] <johan_1337> it went well
[18:45] <johan_1337> thankyou :D
[18:45] <Kartagis> !find ccsm
[18:45] <Kartagis> !info ccsm
[18:46] <k1l_> johan_1337: ok
[18:46] <johan_1337> someone know why i cant download widgets?
[18:47] <tech1> you cant download them or cant install them?
[18:47] <jellf> hi all
[18:47] <pseudo> hi guys, I am having problems with ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop - my native resolution is 1366x768, but xrandr is reporting 1024x768 as my resolution - I am having trouble tracing the source of this issue, could I get a nudge in the right dirrection?
[18:47] <pseudo> xf86-video-intel is my driver
 can you help me? how to open download widget panel from terminal with sudo command?
[18:48] <dr_willis> download widgit panel?
[18:49] <k1l_> johan_1337: im not familiar with the kde stuff. but i dont think sudo will be a good idea on gui
[18:49] <dr_willis> oh kde.. why do you need to run it as root?
[18:49] <johan_1337> the panel you download widget in
[18:49] <k1l_> but im sure, if you decribe your problem with errormessages etc some kde guy will jump in
[18:49] <johan_1337> dr willis
[18:49] <johan_1337> ok
[18:49] <jtannenbaum> what should I reformat my new external to, ext4?
[18:49] <jtannenbaum> it'll be for music, movies, etc
[18:49] <dr_willis> jtannenbaum:  depends on your needs and ussage.
[18:49] <marcappuccino> yes - it is the most modern
[18:50] <jtannenbaum> just music and movies basically
[18:50] <jtannenbaum> 1TB
[18:50] <dr_willis> jtannenbaum: linux only system to access it?
[18:50] <k1l_> jtannenbaum: ext4 is a good choice if its never gonna come to a windows pc
[18:50] <belgianguy> NTFS if using both Windows and Linux to access it
[18:50] <jtannenbaum> I might want to connect it to a windows 7 laptop but if the difference is really that great
[18:50] <johan_1337> ext4 format is the fastest for copy files to?
[18:50] <marcappuccino> you can install apps for windows to recognise ext partitions
[18:50] <jtannenbaum> oh really then ext4 it is
[18:51] <marcappuccino> ext2 is the fastest but not journaled
[18:51] <jtannenbaum> should i reformat the partition or the entire drive
[18:51] <SolarisB2y> its fast cause its not journaled afaik =)
[18:51] <k1l_> jtannenbaum: you cant access ext* from windows (that easy)
[18:51] <dr_willis> jtannenbaum:  you have 2 partitions?
[18:51] <soman> Trying to run gedit (sudo gedit) and get an error: gedit: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_ft_font_options_substitute What is the reason?
[18:51] <Newb100> ActionParsnip, Yep x11 works but vert very slow?
[18:51] <jtannenbaum> no, it's new, just one 1TB partition
[18:51] <jtannenbaum> currently NTFS
[18:51] <k1l_> soman: dont run sudo gedit :X
[18:51] <dr_willis> som use gksudo for gui apps...
[18:51] <jtannenbaum> soman: gksu not sudo
[18:52] <k1l_> soman: you will break your rights from the files you open with that
[18:52] <jtannenbaum> ext2 is the fastest but what is journaling
[18:52] <k1l_> jtannenbaum: keep it with ntfs then
[18:52] <dr_willis> jtannenbaum:  you can keep it ntfs if you wanted.. it wont matter much. and ext2 is not always the 'fastest'
[18:52] <jtannenbaum> alright sounds good
[18:53] <jtannenbaum> oops, "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1"
[18:53] <soman> k1l_: with gksudo terminal stays some seconds and command is returned with no run applicatiob...
[18:53] <Newb100> Hoe to view gedit through SSH from ubuntu comand line to ubuntu
[18:54] <Boffy> i think NTFS will become fragmented
[18:54] <dr_willis> Newb100: enable ssh x forwarding
[18:54] <SolarisB2y> Newb100: possibly by forwarding xX
[18:54] <SolarisB2y> ssh -X Newb100
[18:54] <dr_willis> !ssh
[18:54] <LiDaR> Newb100: gedit is just s simple text editor .. if that is all you need just use nano
[18:54] <marcappuccino> ntfs is not very stable with ubuntu nor is (ext)fat
[18:54] <k1l_> marcappuccino: ntfs is stbale enough
[18:54] <SolarisB2y> its stable for me
[18:55] <marcappuccino> well, worse than ext1-4
[18:55] <dr_willis> ntfs-3g seems to work quite well
[18:55] <SolarisB2y> naturally
[18:55] <k1l_> marcappuccino: and to install hackish driver stuff on every windows machine you put that drive is not a solution imho
[18:55] <Newb100> Why is so much faster ssh -x from an ubuntu to an ubuntu and so slow windows to ubuntu?
[18:55] <jtannenbaum> I reformatted it to NTFS and it's still not mounting
[18:55] <johan_1337> now i am formating my usb drive to ext2, something baad with that?
[18:55] <marcappuccino> of course, but is you must use windows, then that is the way to access ext drives
[18:56] <dr_willis> Newb100:  -x is VERY different then -X for ssh
[18:56] <SolarisB2y> Newb100: thats disabling forwarding
[18:56] <SolarisB2y> Newb100: you want to enable it
[18:56] <SolarisB2y> Newb100: -X (capital)
[18:56] <Kartagis> why can't I get ccsm when I search for it?
[18:56] <Newb100> I meant -X
[18:56] <marcappuccino> ext 2 is besster for usb drives as it does not write with journals as much and preserves the lifespan
[18:56] <SolarisB2y> thats not doing anything that will make it faster
[18:56] <Newb100> Why is so much faster ssh -X from an ubuntu to an ubuntu and so slow windows to ubuntu?
[18:56] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[18:57] <SolarisB2y> Newb100: use -vvv if your interested it's likely a fluke
[18:57] <marcappuccino> try launching 'gksudo ccsm' from termiinal
[18:57] <johan_1337> thanks for everything, bye m8:es
[18:57] <dr_willis> Newb100:  i use xming on windows to ssh forard. seems to work well
[18:58] <Newb100> dr_willis, How do use it?
[18:58] <dr_willis> Newb100:  go to xming homepage, download, install, run.. check its docs
[18:58] <SolarisB2y> sorry for offtopic question - is there a listing of TZ data in the format that the linux text files expects them? like on wikipedia or such? Example Asia/Jakarta - i'd just like an exhaustive listing of all of them if possible
[18:59] <marcappuccino> ext2 does not use journalling - therefore does not perform extra writes that ext3/4 would otherwise do
[18:59] <marcappuccino> ...so it is faster
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Newb100: try enabling compression
[18:59] <SolarisB2y> or even switching to different encryption
[19:00] <motaka2> where is ubuntu 12.04 synaptic manager ?
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> motaka2: its not installed by defaultbut is available for install
[19:00] <dr_willis> synaptic is not installed by default
[19:00] <motaka2> ActionParsnip: So what should I do ?
[19:01] <dr_willis> install it.. if you want it......
[19:01] <motaka2> ActionParsnip: from where I can install softwares ?
[19:01] <Alpha-Omega_> I just installed openbox, I'm trying to get nm-applet to work, but it says "NetworkManager is not running..."
[19:01] <marcappuccino> install through software centre search 'synaptic'
[19:01] <dr_willis> !manual | motaka2
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> motaka2: software centre
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega_: sudo restart network-manager    maybe
[19:02] <jtannenbaum> its taking forever to format this partition to ext4
[19:02] <Alpha-Omega_> ActionParsnip: it's already running, but let me try
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: how big is it?
[19:03] <jtannenbaum> 1TB
[19:03] <kurtwp_> using 12.04 desktop and I want to connect to a windows share do I need to have samba installed on the ubuntu desktop
[19:03] <dr_willis> 'hurry up and learn patience'
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: it'll take a while, depending on speed etc
[19:03] <Alpha-Omega_> ActionParsnip:  now I'm getting no network connection
[19:04] <Alpha-Omega_> I'm using a cable right now and I want to use the wifi on it
[19:04] <Alpha-Omega_> yet it says no connection
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega_: reboot and you'll be back where you started. You can always install wicd then uninstall network manager, may be friendlier
[19:05] <Alpha-Omega_> ActionParsnip: how would I add the network-manager service to startup?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega_: not sure of that, I thought it added when you installed the package
[19:08] <Alpha-Omega_> ActionParsnip: maybe idk let me restart computer
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega_: could run:    sudo apt-get --reinstall install `dpkg -l | grep network-ma | awk {'print $2'}`
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> d'oh
[19:10] <jtannenbaum> woah, I still can't mount this external hard drive
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: can you mount it manually?
[19:10] <jtannenbaum> [1545628.860665] EXT3-fs: sdb1: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240).
[19:10] <EnderTheThird> Anyone know how to modify xorg.conf on a live Ubuntu USB drive?  I've been reading that my cheap Korean monitor doesn't give corred EDID info, so I'm hoping that entering stuff manually in xorg.conf will let the thing boot with a display
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: what file system did you format it?
[19:11] <ClientAlive> still no sound. I checked my bios settings and took a peek at what drivers I have installed - I'm not very fmailiar with what things ought to be like so not sure if I'm missing something or not. Can anyone please help me get the sound working on this beast?
[19:11] <jtannenbaum> ext4
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> EnderTheThird: have you tried the boot option:  nomodeset
[19:11] <cristian_c> Hi
[19:11] <thierry__> Please, i am trying to port ubuntu-core on my Pandaboard B1 , i have installed Xorg and openBox, for now, i'm using a serial terminal to get output: my first question is, when i launsh startx , nothing happens , normally the terminal should change? is it a miciom restricion?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: sudo mkdir /media/sdb1; sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[19:12] <thierry__>  second question : what packages should i add to get the output via HDMI?
[19:12] <EnderTheThird> ActionParsnip:  I can do that now.  brb.
[19:12] <jtannenbaum> ActionParsnip: great, thanks
[19:12] <jtannenbaum> how can I make it do that every time
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: did it mount?
[19:13] <jtannenbaum> yes
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: run:  sudo blkid | grep sdb1
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: you can then use the UUID and add it to /etc/fstab  and the option will be used every time
[19:13] <Alpha-Omega> alright, nm-applet doesn't show up on tint2 but when I randomly click on where it should be, it comes up and I select my network and nothing happens
[19:13] <jtannenbaum> /dev/sdb1: LABEL="ace" UUID="..." TYPE="ext4"
[19:14] <jtannenbaum> yea I figured.. what's the exact thing I should add I can never remember
[19:14] <cristian_c> I'm using lostirc, and I would change the quit message. I've looked for in the lostirc hidden folder of my Home directory and I've found a file called events.conf. There are these lines in this file: quit = 15--  00%1 16 has quit  15( 09%2 15)   quit2 =  15--  00%1 16 has quit, but I don't think it is the right file
[19:14] <EnderTheThird> ActionParsnip:  No dice.  Just getting a black screen.  Trying to ctrl+alt+f1 to a terminal, but no luck.
[19:15] <jtannenbaum> oh duh I bet it's because there's already an fstab entry for /etc/sdb1
[19:15] <cristian_c> How can I change my personal quit message? What's the right file to edit?
[19:15] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[19:15] <jtannenbaum> maybe I should just comment that out
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> EnderTheThird: did you try the safe vga boot option?
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: yes, then I suggest you reboot and it should be ok
[19:15] <WeThePeople> cristian_c, use xchat ;p
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> cristian_c: in't it:   /quit some text here
[19:16] <jtannenbaum> "Free space: 870.1 GB" :I
[19:16] <cristian_c> WeThePeople, I'm using Lubuntu, and lostirc is a lightweight irc client
[19:16] <jtannenbaum> does journalling really use like 100 GB or is that just WD screwing with me
[19:16] <cristian_c> ActionParsnip, I don't understand?§ Can you repeat? :)
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: 5% I believe, you can use tune2fs to change it
[19:17] <EnderTheThird> ActionParsnip:  nvm, I forgot the space before nomodeset when changing the boot options
[19:17] <EnderTheThird> ActionParsnip:  Now I can get to a terminal.  I'll see if I can get it to show me a GUI with the custom xorg.conf now.
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> cristian_c: the /quitirc command can be tailed with some text, its pretty worthless tbh
[19:18] <Teduardo> Is there a MySQL 5.6 pkg for Ubuntu 12.04?
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> EnderTheThird: you can use:  Xorg -configure     to make a skeleton xorg.conf file you can copy to /etc/X11
[19:18] <jtannenbaum> is journalling good or bad for a drive that will have torrent data on it
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: its probably not needed if its just user data
[19:19] <jtannenbaum> so maybe I should just use ext2
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: that's an option too
[19:19] <cristian_c> ActionParsnip, it tells me: 'QUITIRC: Unknown command'
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> jtannenbaum: i'd look online for the pros and cons of both
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> cristian_c: the command is /quit    so you can use:   /quit bye y'all
[19:20] <ClientAlive> what does it mean in sound settings when it says "...(HDMI) output" ? Is that the normal, small round jack or is it like the hdmi from my monitor (a flat/ rectangular plug)?
[19:21] <SolarisB2y> ClientAlive: sounds coming via HDMI cable is one attached?
[19:22] <WeThePeople> actionparsnip, ActionParsnip has quit (Quit: bye y'all)
[19:22] <ClientAlive> SolarisB2y: The hardware ports I have (on a desktop) are the small round ones that are internal to the mobo. They are on the back of the machine.
[19:23] <lusuhard_> hello to everyone, I just finish to install ubuntu 12.04 on my hp 6735s and I updated the BIOS so that the wireless and the screen light problem were solved, but I still can't make the system read any cd, usb key or hdd
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: thanks
[19:25] <cristian_c> actionParsnip, but this message is not stored
[19:25] <cristian_c> *ActionParsnip
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> cristian_c: its each time you leave you can select an exit message
[19:26] <ClientAlive> I'm not really sure what things need to be installed or how they should be configured. I did just install alsa-tools (which wasn't on there) and did a "sudo adduser <myusername> audio. Still no sound though.
[19:26] <cristian_c> ActionParsnip, I would like that the message was always the same
[19:26] <EnderTheThird> ActionParsnip: As for restarting X from tty after making my xorg.conf?  I"ve tried "killall X" but still get error about X running when i try "starts"
[19:26] <WeThePeople> lusuhard_, do you receive any error messages
[19:26] <ClientAlive> Can the little speakers I have be powered through that audio jack? I don't see that they  have a power cord - not part of their design.
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: if you run:  groups   are you in the group?
[19:27] <ClientAlive> let me see
[19:27] <lusuhard_> WeThePeople no error message, just nothing lshw shows no missing USB HUB...
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: also, did you log off and on after being added to the group?
[19:28] <cristian_c> ActionParsnip, How can I store the quit message? :)
[19:28] <cristian_c> *save
[19:29] <lusuhard_> WeThePeople http://pastebin.com/FvQLXv3V
[19:29] <ClientAlive> heere is what's listed: "<myusername> adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare"  But I ran the command "sudo adduser <myusername> audio" just a few min ago. Do I have to run it as sudo groups to get everything to show?
[19:29] <jtannenbaum> errsize: 700 kB :( ddrescue work wit me
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> cristian_c: no idea, not something I 've bothered with
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: run:   sudo usermod -a -G audio $USER      and it will add your username to the audio group
[19:30] <guntbert> ClientAlive: if I remember correctly you have to log out and log in again
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: have you tried:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*    wait 10 seconds then reboot
[19:31] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip:I did not log off and on. Let me do that and see if anything changes. Shall I log off and on first or run sudo usermod -a -G audio $USER and it will add your username to the audio group
[19:31] <mistere> sudo usermod -a -G audio $mistere
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: I'd run the command, so you know it is added to the group
[19:31] <ClientAlive> ok
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> mistere: no, $USER is a variable for the name of the user
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> mistere: if you want to use the username as is, remove the dollar
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: ^
[19:32] <malcolm91> hello. looking for help with watching dvds...
[19:32] <ClientAlive> I replace $USER with my actual username right?
[19:32] <mistere> sudo usermod -a -G audio mistere
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: the $USER variable allows you to not worry about what the username is, great in scripts
[19:32] <tiox> I wonder, had anyone ever found a solution for the sound issues that people are having with Ubuntu?
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: no, just run it as is
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: you don't have to change it in any way
[19:32] <WeThePeople> lusuhard, did you update yet
[19:32] <ClientAlive> ok
[19:32] <guntbert> !dvd | malcolm91
[19:33] <tiox> Anyone with experience updating a stock install of Ubuntu and getting sound working on some machines without having to add repositories or mess with the pre-installed software?
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> tiox: yes 100% of my sound works ootb
[19:34] <tiox> ActionParsnip: Before, did the sound not work for you?
[19:34] <ClientAlive> ActionParsnip: ok, got that one. Should I run killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse* or log off and on?
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> tiox: never had that issue in 11 years of linux
[19:34] <mistere> my system not support 64bit ubuntu? i am using Corei3
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> ClientAlive: yes, you will get default sound settings
[19:34] <lkeijser> hi
[19:34] <tiox> Well, I did, and last night, I believe that installing alsa-firmware from the medibuntu repository resolved my issue.
[19:34] <mistere> hello
[19:34] <lkeijser> is it possible to dist-upgrade 9.10
[19:34] <ClientAlive> ok

[19:35] <lkeijser> to whatever ubuntu is the most recent now
[19:35] <malcolm91> ubottu, I just did that. do i need to restart?
[19:35] <ClientAlive> ok, brb after reboot
[19:35] <guntbert> !eol | lkeijser
[19:35] <Alpha-Omega> I load the applet and I cant connect to any wireless networks
[19:35] <tiox> BRB,, going to reboot into a live session to see if I cannot replicate the result there.
[19:35] <Kartagis> why can't I get ccsm when I search for it?
[19:36] <lkeijser> guntbert: you are saying 9.10 is eol?
[19:36] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  it's compiz-config-settings- manager
[19:36] <lkeijser> yeah I figured that out by the date alone :)
[19:36] <mibofra> hi everyone :D .
[19:36] <Emil_> How can i remove the "has join messages in empathy" :P
[19:37] <guntbert> lkeijser: yes, and look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades

[19:57] <graingert> guntbert: it's probably worth changing that message - it's wrong
[19:58] <graingert> "set(ting) your preferred nick in your client's settings" will still cause nickspam

[19:58] <graingert> cihhan: dropbox

[20:01] <WeThePeople> malcolm91, what player are you using
[20:01] <gordonjcp> cihhan: rsync over ssh?
[20:01] <malcolm91> WeThePeople, Kaffeine
[20:01] <graingert> cihhan: it's sync manually
[20:01] <graingert> cihhan: otherwise RSYNC
[20:01] <graingert> cihhan: with git you get more control
[20:01] <cihhan> in fact, lipsync is based on rsync but it was giving so many problems
[20:01] <graingert> cihhan: it depends what you want
[20:01] <krababbel> Why do I get permission denied on 'sudo echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack' ?
[20:01] <teicah> where did that come from?  Just chilling w/12.04.1 and I noticed it's asking me to "reboot to complete updates."  What updates?  There is nothing in /var/cache/apt/archives or the software updater!
[20:02] <graingert> krababbel: pastebin the full output
[20:02] <ClientAlive> Yay! I have sound!!
[20:02] <WeThePeople> malcolm91, it might just be codecs
[20:02] <jojoe> hello when I :ldd binary name, it tells me all the dependancys I need. Is thee some way to tell it to just apt-get everything I need?
[20:02] <WeThePeople> prob
[20:02] <krababbel> graingert: not a lot: 'bash: /etc/sysctl.d/60-gigabit.conf: Permission denied'
[20:02] <malcolm91> WeThePeople, how do i fix it?
[20:02] <ClientAlive> and I even have sound on my win7 vm -> thank you ActionParsinip/ everybody who helped
[20:03] <guntbert> krababbel: sudo is only applied to echo, not to >, you need echo 0 |sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_sack
[20:03] <adam__> hi
[20:03] <krababbel> guntbert: oh wow, thank you
[20:03] <guntbert> krababbel: You're welcome
[20:03] <adam__> i have a bit of a problem with the boot loader
[20:03] <ClientAlive> This thing has a lot of little issues which make it almost unbearable to use. It's a shame cause it's a new desktop and not too skimpy on resources either.
[20:03] <Emil_> I have a HP-Probook 6560b, is it possible to use the fingerprint-scanner?
[20:03] <adam__> in xubuntu
[20:04] <ClientAlive> afk for a moment
[20:04] <adam__> can't start windows 7 from it after installing xubuntu alongside it
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> adam__: what if you run:  sudo update-grub; lsb_release -a; sudo fdisk -l     can you pastebin the output please?
[20:05] <adam__> one second
[20:05] <Emil_> Where can I post bugs?
[20:05] <Kihokki> Help! My computer is stuck at boot! Only using prevorious linux kernels is working but x is not starting so all I have is console.
[20:05] <dr_willis> !bugs
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> Kihokki: do you use proprietary video drivers?
[20:06] <cihhan> graingert: what i want is to be able to sync automatically between many clients using my own server
[20:06] <dr_willis> Emil_:  what bug are you reporting?
[20:06] <Jordan_U> krababbel: It's the shell that's writing to the file when you use '>', so what you're doing when you run "sudo echo foo > bar" is you're telling the shell (which is running as your user) to run "sudo echo foo" (run "echo foo" as root) and redirect the output of that to the file "bar". If the shell doesn't have permission to write to bar, running echo as root won't change that. With "echo foo | sudo tee bar" you're telling the ...
[20:06] <Jordan_U> ... shell to run "echo foo" and pipe its output to "sudo tee bar" and since it's tee that's actually writing to the file, and you've run tee as root via sudo, things actually work :)
[20:06] <jojoe> is there some way to fins all teh apt-get packages for a binaries dependancies? LDD FILENAME , is pretty cool, but it tells me nothing on how to get the packages it lists.
[20:06] <Kihokki> ActionParsnip, Yes. Intel Cedarview.
[20:07] <Emil_> dr_willis: Not sure if it is a bug, but it is in the installation process.
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> Kihokki: then you are using open source drivers, not proprietary
[20:07] <maxvi> hello!
[20:07] <krababbel> Jordan_U: I figured it would be something like that. :) Thanks
[20:07] <Jordan_U> krababbel: You're welcome :)
[20:08] <adam__> ok im completely derping on this
[20:08] <Kihokki> ActionParsnip, No. They've worked fine for two weeks until this happen.
[20:08] <jojoe> well, how about a database? Can i type the library names LDD finds into a search engine somewhere or do I just need to googole and guess the dependancies?
[20:08] <graingert> hmmf
[20:08] <adam__> how do i open up command line or whatever it is called?
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> Kihokki: what happends when you try to boot?
[20:08] <guntbert> !cli | adam__
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> adam__: press cTRL+ALT+T it's called a terminal
[20:09] <guntbert> adam__: ctrl+alt+t  shoud work too
[20:09] <adam__> wierd
[20:09] <adam__> it's not working
[20:09] <Kihokki> ActionParsnip, There is only Ubuntu logo and dots which are not moving.
[20:09] <adam__> i have a "terminal emulator" but i can't seem to type anything in it
[20:09] <graingert> xchat-gnome doesn't seem to auth with nickserv properly
[20:09] <graingert> (hence the nickspam)
[20:09] <user82> is there a way to do a task for all subpaths if the program does not support the recursive option by itselt?
[20:09] <graingert> does it do SASL
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> Kihokki: tried the boot option:  nomodeset
[20:10] <guntbert> graingert: use xchat, not xchat-gnoe
[20:10] <joegiampaoli> Anyone know how to fix this? https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B89XHw6WcgFvY2FuZWNzZVNYU2c   This happens on some websites with firefox, which font would I be missing? Thanks!
[20:10] <Kihokki> ActionParsnip, Not yet
[20:10] <graingert> guntbert: y
[20:10] <dr_willis> user82:  via find, or xargs
[20:10] <jojoe> You need to use your terminal to learn your terminal... use MAN lol! why not tell him to google it, He does not know how to use a terminal, and you tell him to use a terminal? Fail.
[20:10] <user82> dr_willis do you have a link for me?
[20:11] <dr_willis> user82:  man find
[20:11] <user82> ok
[20:12] <guntbert> adam__: what happens when you press ctrl+alt+t ?
[20:12] <maxvi> I have asus ux31a and I have some problem... My fn keys don't work... I use ubuntu 12.04... Anybody know will it work on ubuntu 12.10? Thanks
[20:12] <adam__> nothing
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> maxvi: if you run:  xev     do the keys make events?
[20:13] <Kihokki> ActionParsnip, It is still stuck.
[20:14] <guntbert> adam__: press alt+F2, then type gnome-terminal
[20:14] <Owner> how do i get mount.cifs on ubuntu 10.04
[20:14] <Owner> or smbmount ?
[20:15] <adam__> failed to execute child process
[20:15] <dr_willis> !find smbmount
[20:15] <dr_willis> !info smbfs
[20:15] <adam__> no such file or directory
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Owner: Lucid has less than 9 months support left, think about upgrading soon :)
[20:15] <WeThePeople> malcolm91, have you tried vlc
[20:15] <Owner> not my system
[20:15] <Owner> just need cifs
[20:16] <user82> dr_willis find gives me what i need. but i do not understand how to pass the results to the program where i need it. could you tell me please?
[20:16] <user82> the program syntax is "programname filename"
[20:16] <maxvi> ActionParsnip: No they don't make any events
[20:16] <adam__> ActionPartnership: http://pastebin.com/XFyPSuwp
[20:16] <dr_willis> user82:  check the internetz for find examples.  i rarely use it
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> maxvi: are there any bugs reported?
[20:17] <Owner> dr_willis~# thanks
[20:17] <ActionParsnip> adam__: sudo fdisk -l     nott:   sudo fdisk -1
[20:18] <ActionParsnip> adam__: l for list
[20:18] <adam__> http://pastebin.com/9PJpxyMx
[20:20] <ActionParsnip> adam__: looks detected, can you give the output of:  uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image
[20:20] <marcappuccino> can anyone tell me the actual differences between ubuntu server with no extras installed on installation and regular ubuntu, apart from the desktop environment?
[20:20] <jojoe> If you only have the binaries, run ldd <binaryfilename> and guess which libs are needed from the output. <[20:20] <adam__> when i attempt to boot from the option labeled windows 7, it just goes to a black screen and then back to the boot loader
[20:21] <Kihokki> ActionParsnip, How can I select gdm instead of Lightdm? I think I've found the solutuon for my problems
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> marcappuccino: that's it, the server kernel can also use more cpu cores
[20:21] <shanecowherd> how do you mask the password when you type ssh user@server "sudo rm -rf file"
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> Kihokki: just install gdm package
[20:21] <maxvi> ActionParsnip: where can i see this report?
[20:21] <marcappuccino> how many?
[20:21] <adam__> http://pastebin.com/y6Z9Ehxg
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> !bugs | maxvi
[20:21] <jojoe> I have ofer 30 dependancies listed from LDD, so I am supposed to just guess them all?
[20:21] <wizAmit> how can i install glade3 from source library
[20:22] <guntbert> shanecowherd: mask?
[20:22] <Alpha-Omega> can someone help me get my webcam working?
[20:22] <krababbel> Kihokki: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm'
[20:22] <guntbert> !webcam | Alpha-Omega
[20:22] <marcappuccino> @Alpha which ubuntu are you running 32 or 64-bit?
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> marcappuccino: http://askubuntu.com/questions/158555/how-many-maximum-cpus-does-ubuntu-support-by-default
[20:22] <shanecowherd> guntbert: yeah, when i type sudo -S rm -rf file.txt
[20:22] <marcappuccino> thnks
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> marcappuccino: source:  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+desktop+kernel+maximum+cores
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> marcappuccino: too hard?
[20:23] <shanecowherd> guntbert: it types the password in standard input and doesn't hide the letters
[20:23] <marcappuccino> hm?
[20:23] <guntbert> shanecowherd: never seen that, what is -S supposed to do?
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: does it work in cheese?
[20:24] <shanecowherd> guntbert: lets you enter the password from standard input
[20:24] <Alpha-Omega> guntbert: i get an input error from vlc and cheese doesn't work
[20:24] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: run:  lsusb     and use the 8 character hex id to find guides
[20:24] <adam__> ActionPartnership:http://pastebin.com/y6Z9Ehxg
[20:25] <Kihokki> My fingers are crossed, hope this will make x work.
[20:25] <guntbert> Alpha-Omega: I have no experience with webcams, I only wanted to send you something to strat with :)
[20:25] <guntbert> shanecowherd: and why do you want to do that?
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> adam__: if you hold SHIFT at boot, do you see the windows option?
[20:25] <shanecowherd> I have a bash script that SSH into a server and runs the command rm -rf file.txt
[20:26] <ki4ro_> Any idea on how to get icedtea working in chrome?
[20:26] <adam__> i see it without pushing anything, but when i select windows 7, it goes to a black screen for a moment and then back to the boot loader
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> shanecowherd: why use force?
[20:26] <shanecowherd> guntbert: but I have to run it as sudo
[20:26] <trijntje> I want to reinstall my system and restore all data and config from my home folder. Are there any files I should exclude that would cause problems when taken to another install?
[20:26] <marcappuccino> Iced tea has compatibility issues in chrome your better off installing the oracle version
[20:26] <shanecowherd> ActionParsnip: actually i'm reloading nginx, but I wanted to keep the example simple
[20:26] <ki4ro_> marcappuccino: Oracle version?
[20:27] <shanecowherd> ActionParsnip: I need to reload nginx from a bash script on my local machine
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> trijntje: should be okay,just copy all the applicaion hidden folders but leave the gnome ones
[20:27] <marcappuccino> yes
[20:27] <ki4ro_> marcappuccino: Oracle version of what?
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> shanecowherd: but why use force in the rm command?
[20:27] <marcappuccino> of java hang on i am getting the liink
[20:27] <ki4ro_> marcappuccino: Many thanks
[20:27] <shanecowherd> ActionParsnip: it was just an example
[20:28] <Alpha-Omega> guntbert: funny, I had to run sudo to access the cam, that means I'm not in the group right?
[20:28] <wizAmit> hi all
[20:28] <marcappuccino> sorry internet is slow
[20:28] <ki4ro_> marcappuccino: np
[20:29] <dr_willis> !Java
[20:29] <guntbert> shanecowherd: yes, try sudo rm .....
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: so cheese ran with gksudo woks ok?
[20:29] <ActionParsnip> *works
[20:30] <marcappuccino> first remove openjdk and iced tea from the software center then follow these instructions http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
[20:30] <wizAmit> i want to install glade-3 on ubuntu, can anyone plz xplain it to me...
[20:30] <powerplay> hey everyone, ive been trying to enable colors in my terminal buck cant
[20:30] <adam__> ActionPartnership:  i see windows 7 as an option without pushing anything, but when i select windows 7, it goes to a black screen for a moment and then back to the boot loader
[20:30] <WeThePeople> actionparsnip, what would a sudo apt-get purge updates do?
[20:30] <Alpha-Omega> ActionParsnip: well I did sudo cheese, it works, but it's very, very dark, almost nothing can be see, I did sudo with vlc and it works fine, but neiter works without sudo
[20:30] <powerplay> any help is appreciated, i already tried changing things in .bashrc file but no luck, any suggestions?
[20:30] <dr_willis> powerplay: enable how exactly
[20:30] <ki4ro_> marcappuccino: Thanks!
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> WeThePeople: not seen that command, don't think it'll work
[20:30] <marcappuccino> @alpha try running gksudo instead of sudo with applicatons
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: use gksudo for GUI apps
[20:31] <marcappuccino> ki4ro :)
[20:31] <powerplay> dr_willis: so that when i do the "ls" command I want my directories to be in blue, other files to be red etc
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: what is the make and model of the system?
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: that's default in ubuntu
[20:31] <Alpha-Omega> ActionParsnip: Thinkpad T400
[20:31] <guntbert> !tab | marcappuccino
[20:31] <trijntje> ActionParsnip: thanks! I think I'll also leave ICEauthority out
[20:31] <dr_willis> powerplay: that'd be an alias.
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: try running:  source ~/.bashrc
[20:32] <powerplay> ActionParsnip: that wierd because right now everything is listen in same white color as of now
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[20:32] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: try the command I gave
[20:32] <dr_willis> Alias ls=ls --color
[20:32] <dr_willis> Lower case a  ;-)
[20:32] <adam__> im going to try booting windows 7 again, i'll be back if it doesn't work
[20:33] <Alpha-Omega> ActionParsnip: presice
[20:33] <powerplay> ActionParsnip: wow it worked! many thanks, could u give me more details on what the command does
[20:33] <Alpha-Omega> precise*
[20:33] <marcappuccino> 32 or 64 bit - Alpha-omega?
[20:33] <powerplay> dr_willis: got it working many thanks
[20:33] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: it runs the commands that configure the shell properly, you don't have a ~/.profile file
[20:33] <EnderTheThird> I got my 2560x1440 monitor working as described here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=67d2dbdf3fb9053b052eb7b1bfc1c817&p=12161201#post12161201) but now my mouse indicator arrow seems to be for the wrong resolution.  It looks stretched like 1920x1080 stretched on the monitor, but the aspect ratio is normal when hovering over a window edge to a different indicator/icon.  Any ideas what might cause this?
[20:34] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: run:  sudo cp /root/.profile $HOME; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.profile       and it will be fine
[20:34] <EnderTheThird> xorg.conf:   http://pastebin.com/THPZ5GsP
[20:34] <marcappuccino> EnterTheThird do a fresh install and back up everything
[20:34] <wizAmit> can anyone plz tell me how to install glade-3 and dependencies in ubuntu through terminal
[20:34] <powerplay> ActionParsnip: awseome, and what do i do if i want to change up the colors?
[20:35] <Kihokki> ActionParsnip, Unable to boot still. Problem is with x which says that monitors are not detected.
[20:35] <dr_willis> !find glade
[20:35] <marcappuccino> when istalling 'quickly', does that not ship with glade-3?
[20:35] <EnderTheThird> marcappucino:  This is a fresh install.  My only change is to xorg.conf because Ubuntu wouldn't boot without it (doesn't get the correct EDID info from my monitor, apparently).
[20:35] <marcappuccino> sudo apt-get build-dep glade
[20:35] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: not sure of the actual colour change but the default bash ones are used
[20:36] <powerplay> ActionParsnip: alright thanks a lot for your help again!!!
[20:36] <marcappuccino> Enterthethird - does your monitor have any other conections - dvi, hdmi?
[20:36] <EnderTheThird> marcappuccino:  Just DVI.  It's a cheap one from Korea  :-)
[20:36] <adam__> okay, didn't work, same thing happened. i bot up, windows 7 is an option, i select windows 7, it goes to a black screen for a moment, and then back to the boot loader
[20:36] <wizAmit> thanks all
[20:37] <wizAmit> now, how to compile binaries in ubuntu, and what actually r they??
[20:37] <powerplay> ls
[20:37] <marcappuccino> lol did you try fidling with the xrandr command
[20:38] <marcappuccino> enterthethird
[20:38] <praetorian`> hey all
[20:38] <Owner> HI
[20:38] <EnderTheThird> marcappuccino: not very familiar with using that.  I got the xorg.conf from a forum post someone made about getting it to work

[20:39] <marcappuccino> xrandr --help
[20:39] <Alpha-Omega> ActionParsnip: ok, did it
[20:40] <marcappuccino> look at a tutorial i cant recite the commands but you must use the cvt command somewhere... sorry
[20:40] <praetorian`> i have some kind of problem here i think. i have installed windows 7 on my notebook -500gb hdd. i deleted all partitions, created a 150gb partition and installed win7 to it so nowi have 350gb unused space. now i want to install ubuntu and it detects that i have win 7 installed, but it only gives me option to overwrite win7 or to do "something other" but there is no option to install it beside windows 7
[20:40] <Kihokki> What can I do? Xorg server says: Fatal error, no screens found and linux boots into terminal
[20:41] <EnderTheThird> marcappuccino: I'm looking at it, but I'm not really sure what to change.   Everything else displays fine except for the default mouse arrow
[20:42] <K350> Is there any widget/app that shows CPU usage - as a peek - on the desktop (not the panel) ?
[20:42] <Alpha-Omega> ActionParsnip: why'd I modprobe though?
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: its te driver for the device, is cheese any better?
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> K350: conky
[20:43] <Alpha-Omega> ActionParsnip: nope, it's the same
[20:43] <marcappuccino> enterthethird https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions thhis might help after a fresh install
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: are there any busreported?
[20:44] <trond-> Kihokki, clean install or upgrade?
[20:45] <johan_1337> are backtrack 5 for hacking windows or linux or both?

[20:46] <ActionParsnip> Alpha-Omega: i suggest you report one if there isn't one
[20:46] <EnderTheThird> marcappuccino: Thanks.  I'll fart around with it for a bit to see if I can get it going.  :-)
[20:46] <Alpha-Omega> ActionParsnip: I mean it works in vlc but I need to start as root, dont I need to add myself to a group or something to run without root?

[20:49] <designbybeck> VMWare isn't VirutalBox is it?
[20:49] <marcappuccino> no its not
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: no, they do similar functions but are not the same
[20:50] <designbybeck> so if i downloaded a .zip file with a bunch of .vmdk stuff in them, they will not work in VIrtualBox?
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: i'd ask in #vbox
[20:50] <designbybeck> This was for some contest I'm helping out with and I think they wanted you to run it in windows on Vmware
[20:50] <marcappuccino> it is compatible with virtual box yes
[20:50] <designbybeck> but I use Ubuntu and VirtualBox
[20:50] <wizAmit> i did install build-dep glade-3 now where to go
[20:50] <designbybeck> ok.. Thank you ActionParsnip and marcappuccino

[20:53] <K350> ActionParsnip: I was just mplayihgn around with it. But I've no idea how to just make a nice cpu peak. I dont' want the text stuff.
[20:53] <marcappuccino> does the quickly package not include glade-3
[20:53] <marcappuccino> ?
[20:54] <wizAmit> i cannot say..
[20:54] <wizAmit> how do i say abt that..
[20:54] <marcappuccino> try sudo apt-get build-dep quickly -s
[20:55] <marcappuccino> is -s stimulation?
[20:55] <mschulz> hello. I've found out that in 64-bit 12.04 LTS the libsvn-perl depends on perl5.10, while 5.14.2 is installed
[20:55] <wizAmit> yeah did that without quickly -s, i used glade-3
[20:55] <mschulz> because of that git-svn is not working in ubuntu 12.04 lts 64-bit
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> K350: conky can shows a nice graph
[20:56] <marcappuccino> so can you not sudo apt-get install glade?
[20:56] <wizAmit> did build-dep quickly -s also
[20:56] <marcappuccino> so can you not sudo apt-get install glade?
[20:57] <marcappuccino> *install*
[20:57] <MonkeyDust> marcappuccino  it's glade-gtk2
[20:57] <wizAmit> says 1 newly installed and 1 not upgraded, some python installation and config files
[20:57] <wilee-nilee> !who
[20:58] <MonkeyDust> !info glade-gtk2
[20:58] <trism> MonkeyDust: glade is gtk3, glade-gtk2 is gtk2
[20:58] <marcappuccino> so glade-gtk2 is glade-3 and so is glade
[20:59] <marcappuccino> unless these are from quantal
[20:59] <mappum> Is there a way to disable the cursor screen edge stickiness? (it sticks when movign the cursor from one monitor to another)

[20:59] <wizAmit> appreciate ur help, thanks, installing....
[20:59] <marcappuccino> :)
[20:59] <trism> mappum: it is in the System Settings/Display options, or on the experimental tab of the unity plugin in ccsm
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> mappum: you can disable it in ccsm
[21:00] <mappum> do you know what it's called in ccsm?
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> mappum: sticksomething
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> sticky
[21:02] <trism> mappum: launcher edge stop overcome pressure I think, the options in that general area

[21:06] <jackarg33> anyone who wants to help me on distro-making, or who has any information in distro-making join here: http://webchat.freenode.net/?randomnick=1&channels=jacquesmartin&uio=d4
[21:07] <marcappuccino> That might kind of be off topic
[21:07] <MonkeyDust> jackarg33  wrong channel
[21:07] <ClientAlive> u guy's helped me get sound working... that's all
[21:07] <jackarg33> why?
[21:07] <ClientAlive> peace out y'all
[21:08] <marcappuccino> We dont do general linux but only ubuntu related
[21:08] <jackarg33> MonkeyDust why is it the wrong channel
[21:08] <jackarg33> oh
[21:08] <guntbert> jackarg33: this channel is strictly for ubuntu support
[21:08] <jackarg33> ahh
[21:08] <marcappuccino> :)
[21:08] <jackarg33> ok thhanks
[21:08] <liole> Wanted to ask: is it possible to change color or font of calendar in panel?
[21:09] <volvagiatumescen> I'm using k3b and it's having a problem burning my mp3 files to my cd... what am i missing?
[21:09] <Jordan_U> volvagiatumescen: What problem are you having exactly?
[21:09] <loganrun> how do I configure samba to start at boot, or is this the default
[21:10] <volvagiatumescen> it's telling me problems while adding files to the project, details insufficient permissions to read the following files
[21:10] <Kihokki> I'm making an emergency backup from my system so it would be nice to know if file permissions are copied in addition?
[21:11] <loganrun> does anyone have any idea how to set daemons to run on boot on Ubuntu, I used chkconfig smbd on  for Fedora
[21:11] <auronandace> !upstart | loganrun
[21:12] <marcappuccino> !python
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> volvagiatumescen: do you have libk3b6-extracodecs installed?
[21:12] <marcappuccino> can ubottu give me any ubuntu defenition?
[21:12] <marcappuccino> !unity
[21:12] <marcappuccino> oh cool
[21:13] <guntbert> !askthebot | marcappuccino
[21:13] <marcappuccino> ok sorry :)
[21:14] <Vert> Anyone? Can I reload my mouse without restarting X? My mosue has frozen on a closed hand icon and I can't click or scroll (but I can move it)
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> Vert: try unloading psmouse and reload it
[21:14] <marcappuccino> try ctrl + alt + backspace
[21:14] <marcappuccino> oh wait
[21:14] <volvagiatumescen> ActionParsnip, checking
[21:14] <marcappuccino>  dont do that
[21:14] <loganrun> auronandace, it just says that upstart is event driven replacement, but says nothing about how to do what I am asking
[21:15] <volvagiatumescen> thanks ActionParsnip
[21:15] <Vert> ActionParsnip: running `sudo modprobe -r psmouse` or `sudo rmmod psmouse` followed by reloading have no effect, and the mouse is the same even when I havent reloaded the module.
[21:15] <jrib> loganrun: pretty sure samba starts at boot
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> Vert: use modprobe, it sorts of module deps
[21:16] <loganrun> jrib: hopefully, I just installed it and it didn't look like it was running, but perhaps it will at boot
[21:17] <marcappuccino> !modprobe
[21:17] <Vert> ActionParsnip: How do you mean?
[21:17] <marcappuccino> can anyone give me a defenition of the modprobe command
[21:17] <jrib> loganrun: hmm
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> Vert: if other modules depend on others, modprobe sorts it out rmmod doesn't do stuff like that
[21:18] <marcappuccino> ? ^^^^
[21:18] <Vert> Well, modprobe -r psmouse doesn't help ether?
[21:18] <jrib> loganrun: it should probably start right after you install it too (assuming you used the repositories).  See: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html
[21:19] <loganrun> there must be a tool to manage what daemons start at boot though
[21:19] <marcappuccino> startup applications?
[21:20] <marcappuccino> can anyone give me a defenition of the modprobe command?
[21:20] <daninoz> hi, i'm using gnome shell and i want to move the notification area to the top bar, how can I do that ?
[21:20] <jrib> loganrun: not upstart ones; you must edit /etc/init/.  For the older sysv-rc style scripts you can sysv-rc-conf
[21:21] <jrib> marcappuccino: whatis modprobe   in your shell
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> marcappuccino: try:  man modprobe
[21:21] <marcappuccino> you can replace the default notifications daemon with ubuntu's  notify-osd somehow -google it (limi
[21:21] <marcappuccino> sorry i am running android
[21:22] <marcappuccino> i dont have access to a terminal
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> marcappuccino: http://man.cx/modprobe
[21:22] <Newb101> Is there a way of seeing numerical values of systems speeds CPU usage, Memory and download speads on ubuntu 12.04 in the gui? It existed in settings 10.04
[21:22] <marcappuccino> thanks
[21:22] <Vert> ActionParsnip: Any other ideas? If not I'll have to restart X I guess...
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> Vert: thats all I got
[21:23] <Vert> =/ Oh well. THanks for the help though.
[21:23] <Vert> Do you know what controls the mouse in KDE? I could try restarting that...
[21:24] <praetorian`> hm think i kinda messed
[21:24] <trism> daninoz: maybe something like: https://github.com/brianhsu/EvilStatusIconForever though it looks like it requires some manually editing to the extension.js file to add the icon names you want
[21:24] <praetorian`> booting my laptop grub cant find boot partition
[21:24] <praetorian`> now have grub rescue commandline
[21:24] <shanecowherd> I have a folder "A" and a symlink to that folder "ShortCutToA".  How can I delete the folder "A" using the symlink?
[21:24] <Newb101> Im running ubuntu 12.04 in a virtual box, the download speeds are so slow but not in my native windows?
[21:25] <praetorian`> how can i locate my boot partition there ?
[21:26] <praetorian`> ls only brings up (hd0) (hd0,msdos6) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1)
[21:26] <Newb101> anyone?
[21:26] <marcappuccino> which question shall we answer?
[21:26] <marcappuccino> newb101
[21:26] <Newb101>  Im running ubuntu 12.04 in a virtual box, the download speeds are so slow but not in my native windows?
[21:26] <jrib> shanecowherd: look into readlink I suppose
[21:27] <shanecowherd> thanks
[21:27] <marcappuccino> I'm not sure - have you installed guest additions? Newb101
[21:27] <powerplay> hey everyone i am trying to figure out how colors work in terminakl and cant get it figured out
[21:28] <Newb101> its got something to with network settings
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> Newb101: have you asked in #vbox too
[21:28] <marcappuccino> Have you installed guest additions?
[21:28] <powerplay> in my bashrc file there is an "alias ls='ls --color=autto' which means that when i do "ls" the directories should be in blue
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> Newb101: maybe its a known issue
[21:28] <powerplay> but when i do "ls" the lisings are not color coded, but when i run "ls" as sudo then they are color coded
[21:28] <Newb101> ActionParsnip, Good point, mrcapacciono yes
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: what if you run:  source ~/.bashrc
[21:29] <powerplay> ActionParsnip: ya but i have to run that everytime i open up the terminal
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: then run:  sudo cd /root/.profile $HOME; sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.profile
[21:30] <powerplay> ActionParsnip: im just trying to figure out whats going on under the hood
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: and it will run in each terminal automagically
[21:30] <powerplay> ActionParsnip: does that command create a new profile?
[21:30] <scotsman> hello?
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: just the file ~/.profile
[21:30] <marcappuccino> hello!
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> scotsman: hello
[21:31] <powerplay> ActionParsnip: I see so what happens under the hood after executing that command, is the terminal condigured to read from bashrc everytime i open it?
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> powerplay: yes, the .profile file makes it happens, sounds like yours is different
[21:32] <TheLordOfTime> what package(s) provide collections of CA root certificates?
[21:32] <designbybeck> Anyone ever use BlackBuntu!?
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> !info ca-certificates
[21:32] <marcappuccino> No
[21:32] <designbybeck> and ActionParsnip and marcappuccino I got the VBox working just fine thanks!
[21:32] <marcappuccino> :)
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: blackbuntu isn't supported here
[21:33] <marcappuccino> !blackbuntu
[21:33] <designbybeck> K
[21:33] <designbybeck> was just asking since it was based on Ubuntu
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: yes, the ubuntu based distros aren't supported here
[21:35] <designbybeck> ;)
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: only releases by canonical are supoprted here
[21:35] <marcappuccino> what about xubuntu or lubuntu?
[21:35] <designbybeck> well something else that isn't supported here is my hotwater heater I have to go wait on the repair guy for! Later guys!
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> marcappuccino: they are canonical releases so are supported here, they also have their own channels too
[21:35] <marcappuccino> oh ok
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> designbybeck: similarly, ubuntu is based in debian, but if you ask for support for ubuntu there, you will be pointed here
[21:36] <designbybeck> gotcha
[21:36] <adam_> okay, im back, and i still can't boot windows from the grub bot loader
[21:36] <adam_> boot*
[21:37] <marcappuccino> lol #xubuntu is so dead
[21:38] <adam_> can anyone help me?
[21:38] <oskar-> is not xubuntu just ubuntu with another set of packages installed by default?
[21:39] <gordonjcp> oskar-: pretty much
[21:39] <t3d3um> yes it mainly is. You can even mix the flavors on one system
[21:39] <marcappuccino> yes - primarily the xfce desktop (configured)
[21:39] <marcappuccino> adam what is your problem
[21:39] <gordonjcp> adam_: look up chain loading
[21:39] <t3d3um> you can first install ubuntu, then install the xubuntu-packages without any problem
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> or just install xfce4  for the minimal xfce session
[21:39] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | adam_
[21:40] <Hereisanotherlie> after adding my subdomain info to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled I ran "sudo a2ensite subdomain.example.com" and I am getting "ERROR: Site subdomain.example.com does not exist!"
[21:40] <Hereisanotherlie> I think I might be skipping a step or two along the way I just can't figure out what that might be
[21:40] <oskar-> Hereisanotherlie:  add it to the sites-available directory. then a2ensite creates the symlink in sites-enabled
[21:41] <Guest78819> Hi, someone knows how to boot SAMSUNG 530U from a usb?
[21:41] <marcappuccino> Unetbootin. Or if you mean to boot the installation just install straight to the usb
[21:41] <Hereisanotherlie> oskar-: do I add it to sites-available/default ?
[21:42] <Jordan_U> adam_: The RESULTS.txt from boot info script would be very helpful in diagnosing your problem.
[21:42] <marcappuccino> or use the dd command. dd if = path/to/iso of = dev/(drive)
[21:42] <Hereisanotherlie> oskar-: oh I actually did add it there already, I was working on this last night and forgot about that
[21:43] <oskar-> Hereisanotherlie:  add the definitions of a apache virtual host to a new file in /etc/apache2/sites-available, e.g. filename "mysite". then "a2ensite mysite" create a symlink sites-enabled/mysite pointing to ../sites-available/mysite
[21:44] <oskar-> Hereisanotherlie: if that does not help, what do "apache2ctl configtest" and your logs tell?
[21:45] <z_> hi everyone. ubuntu beginner, im in the process of building the android build enviornment but my folders are all being blocked, im getting permission denied, tried changing permissions, tried nautilus but nothing.
[21:45] <marcappuccino> gksudo nautilus
[21:45] <daninoz> trism, thanks, that work great
[21:45] <marcappuccino> z_ ^^
[21:46] <z_> ive tried gksudo nautilus it extracts and views with all perms in that but in the regular browser shows an X or Lock image
[21:47] <z_> ive tried sudo chmod +rwx /home
[21:47] <marcappuccino> is this in your home folder or /
[21:47] <z_> well the entire /home directory
[21:47] <marcappuccino> did you set up encryption on the ubuntu installation?
[21:47] <z_> dont believe so
[21:48] <z_> android-sdk-linux is locked, add-ons platforms and tools are all locked dirs
[21:48] <z_> its located in /home
[21:49] <marcappuccino> did this happen after you installed this android sdk
[21:49] <sss_>  /ignore #ubuntu CRAP NOTICES SNOTES CTCPS JOINS PARTS QUITS KICKS MODES WALLOPS NICKS DCC DCCMSGS CLIENTNOTICES CLIENTCRAP CLIENTERRORS HILIGHTS
[21:49] <z_> havent installed it yet.
[21:49] <marcappuccino> when did this lockup happen?
[21:49] <oskar-> (and is it maybe normal?)
[21:50] <z_> it happened when i used the terminal window to move android-sdk-linux into the /home/ dir
[21:50] <gordonjcp> z_: don't do that, it doesn't make sense
[21:50] <z_> then i used nautilus to extract it there
[21:51] <marcappuccino> what is the commands that you used go to the terminal and press the up arrow to see history
[21:51] <gordonjcp> it should be in /home/<whateveryourusernameis
[21:51] <marcappuccino> ^ +1
[21:52] <oskar-> z : as a normal user you do not have permission to move something to /home. that folder is "locked" intentionally, belonging to the superuser (root)
[21:52] <shanecowherd> How can you delete a file that a symlink points to?
[21:52] <jrib> shanecowherd: umm, did you see what I said earlier?
[21:52] <adam_> i can't figure out how to get boot info script to work
[21:53] <shanecowherd> jrib: readlink
[21:53] <z_> i used sudo mv android-sdk_r20.0.3-linux.tgz /home/
[21:53] <jrib> shanecowherd: and?
[21:53] <shanecowherd> jrib: I can get the file name with read link, how can I pipe that to rm?
[21:53] <jrib> shanecowherd: why do you want to do this anyway?
[21:53] <meio> 2 questions: First I want to use but it says an error message that wine isn't owned by me, Second: I want to find a macro program except xmacros and autokey that runs on ubuntu and that is capable of recording with a gui or via command line but that records delay of the inputs I have done,
[21:53] <jrib> shanecowherd: $()
[21:54] <shanecowherd> jrib: I make a backup of a folder every day and I symlink the most recent one to "current"
[21:54] <oskar-> shanecowherd:  rm $( readlink ${mylink} )
[21:54] <subcool> ok.. can somone help me- i i have network manager, and its not supported anymore. im to use what?
[21:54] <subcool> i have KDE
[21:54] <marcappuccino> so if you just move it to *your* home folder then it should work, no? /home/(yourusrname)
[21:54] <shanecowherd> oskar: thanks, I'll try that
[21:55] <oskar-> shanecowherd:  know, what you are doing, because that command deletes ;)
[21:55] <z_> is there a cmd to set the entire system to as superuser or root user so i dont have to worry about locked files etc
[21:55] <marcappuccino> or actually after a fresh install because your home folder appears to be locked up (corruption etc.)
[21:55] <jrib> z_: that makes little sense
[21:55] <oskar-> z : that would be not a supported usage...
[21:55] <user> z_: yes. there is. and it would be a stupid idea to use it
[21:56] <marcappuccino> not a good idea
[21:56] <adam_> gah, i downloaded boot info script and followed the instructions on how to start it, but when i put sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh into my terminal it just says no such file or directory
[21:56] <shanecowherd> oskar: Thanks, it worked
[21:57] <jtannenbaum> if my ddrescue got interrupted, can I just restart it with "ddrescue -i XMB -o XMB where X is where I was in MB?
[21:57] <marcappuccino> what is the file name adam_ does it  include spaces?
[21:57] <oskar-> adam_:  i am not sure, when the "~" is resolved in a command like "sudo [...] ~ "
[21:57] <xwalk> I just distro hopped from Fedora 17 and preserved the home partition with my 12.04 installation. I'm getting a message at boot stating "error: file '/boot/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found." Does anyone know how I can rescue my system from this error?
[21:58] <marcappuccino> if ao use a backslash before the spaces i think /home/me/my\ file name.conf
[21:58] <marcappuccino> *if so
[21:58] <oskar-> adam_:  you should try an invariant absolute path
[21:58] <marcappuccino> or just rename the file so there is no spaces
[21:58] <adam_> the file name is bootinfoscript-061.tar.gz
[21:59] <sw> adam_: '$ sudo bash /home/adam_/Desktop/bootinfoscript-061.tar.gz'
[21:59] <adam_> ii have no idea what that is oskar
[21:59] <adam_> thanks
[21:59] <marcappuccino> so why would you type boot_info_scrips?
[21:59] <sw> adam_: assuming 'adam_' is your home directory
[21:59] <adam_> i dont know
[22:00] <graingert> $ sudo bash ~Desktop/bootinfoscript-061.tar.gz
[22:00] <graingert> $ sudo bash ~/Desktop/bootinfoscript-061.tar.gz
[22:00] <graingert> even
[22:00] <marcappuccino> :). Solved?
[22:00] <maslen> I'm getting an error when trying to access a samba share from windows: "Windows cannot access ... You do not have permission to access ..." Except my other samba share works perfectly.
[22:00] <z_> ./home$ sudo chmod +rwx android-sdk_r20.0.3-linux.tgz
[22:00] <bekks> graingert: a tarball isnt executable.
[22:00] <z_> will that work/
[22:00] <jrib> z_: you shouldn't need sudo and you shouldn't need to chmod it...
[22:01] <adam_> command not found
[22:01] <graingert> sw said it was "<sw> adam_: '$ sudo bash /home/adam_/Desktop/bootinfoscript-061.tar.gz'"
[22:01] <z_> nothing is working though :(
[22:01] <maslen> z_: A .tar is like a zip file. You can unzip it with tar -xf
[22:01] <marcappuccino> jrib do you know his original question?
[22:01] <jrib> marcappuccino: no
[22:01] <sw> adam_: '$ tar -zxvf ~/Desktop/bootinfoscript-061.tar.gz'
[22:01] <maslen> jrib: I forgot where, but I did see something about creating executable zips in the past..
[22:01] <z_> what does teh ~ represent?
[22:02] <marcappuccino> he saved a file to /home not /home/me and now his permissions are locked up jrib
[22:02] <zykotick9> z_: ~ = your home directory
[22:02] <sw> z_: ~/ is home
[22:02] <maslen> z_: Your home directory. Usually /home/<username>/
[22:02] <jrib> marcappuccino: he can probably read the file
[22:02] <marcappuccino> yes but his home folder is locked up i beleive
[22:03] <z_> i probably did something like chmod 777 /home
[22:03] <jrib> brilliant
[22:03] <z_> lol
[22:03] <TheLordOfTime> ...
[22:03] <marcappuccino> Sorry... Must go!
[22:05] <Cong> when I tap on the bottom right side of my touchpad a right-click is simulated. is it possible to disable or move it?

[22:15] <TheLordOfTime> anyone here know what packages provide CA root certs for authentication purposes?  is it ca-certificates?
[22:15] <TheLordOfTime> s/for authentication purposes//
[22:15] <ImperialDroid> How do I get out of full screen mode in an application?
[22:16] <TheLordOfTime> ImperialDroid:  depends on the application and what you mean by "full screen mode"
[22:16] <Emil_> ImperialDroid: f11
[22:16] <Cong> move the mouse around and look for exit full screen
[22:16] <ImperialDroid> Emil_, thank you
[22:18] <oskar-> adam_:  for me it looks as if you accidently installed grub into the boot sector of windows partition "sda2", instead of into the mbr
[22:18] <suq> hello I am a windows user and I heard about this unix computer from a friend and I was just wondering how do I buy a unix computer I checked at wal mart and the lady had not heard of it, is this a joke
[22:18] <adam_> how do i fix it?
[22:19] <Mailman> I'm having difficulty installing 12.04.1 on my Acer Aspire One 725. The installer completes, then the screen goes black and nothing happens. I tried powering down and booting Ubuntu, but it would only boot to Windows. I just tried reinstalling over the first install and the screen is black again.
[22:19] <ImperialDroid> Why does my screen go off to the side when i hook my computer up to the tv? its not centered properly. How do I change that?
[22:19] <maslen> suq: Unix computers will not be at wal-mart, nor will your average salesman at walmart be familiar with them.
[22:19] <oskar-> adam_:  i would try to repair windows boot from the windows cd, then make ubuntu bootable again from a ubuntu usb stick with the usual howto
[22:19] <oskar-> !grub > adam_
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> Mailman: what video chip?
[22:19] <suq> is this some kind of masonic computer because I believe in the lord jesus
[22:19] <||arifaX> ImperialDroid: try to disable "overscan"
[22:20] <||arifaX> ImperialDroid: on your tv
[22:20] <oskar-> adam_:  have you got the ubottu explanations?
[22:20] <bekks> suq: linux is just another operating system - like windows, but different.
[22:20] <adam_> yes
[22:20] <Mailman> ATI Radeon HD 6290
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> Mailman: try the boot option: nomodeset
[22:21] <vivid> suq::: if you believe in jesus, then you know he and his father are one in the same.  much as how all computers today derived from the same source
[22:21] <Roland_D> !grub | Roland_D
[22:21] <oskar-> adam_:  i suggest to install grub into the mbr afterwards ("sda")
[22:21] <adam_> i am all kinds of confused
[22:22] <Somelauw> I have tried burning different linux distro's to disk, but ubuntu is the only one that worked for me. When burning other distro's to disk my computer just hangs in the bios. Is there something special about the ubuntu live cd? The version I burned was ubuntu 10.4
[22:22] <oskar-> adam_:  why, what is the problem? ;)
[22:22] <Pelo> evening folks, I'm looking for a software recommendation,  I need a prog that can record video streamed from a usb port,  this is to transfer vids from a camcorder
[22:22] <adam_> i have no idea where to start
[22:23] <Cong> !grub >adam_
[22:23] <Mailman> How do I do that?
[22:23] <Mailman> I'm completely new to Linux.
[22:24] <bsmith093> 3ghz w/ 500mb of ram runnign jaunty should i go to lucid?
[22:24] <oskar-> adam_:  prepare to have a bootable windows cd and a bootable ubuntu cd/usb stick. then make windows bootable again, then reinstall grub as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[22:24] <Cong> !ask >mailman
[22:24] <vivid> Mailman::: depends on which release/version of grub you have
[22:24] <gordonjcp> Pelo: ffmpeg maybe?
[22:24] <adam_> dangit, i dont have my windows CD
[22:24] <Pelo> thanks gordonjcp I think I found something
[22:25] <vivid> Mailman::: there is an alternate installer disk that you should probably try
[22:25] <oskar-> adam_:  then download it from microsoft. windows 7 at least should be available there... (it's a dvd afaik)
[22:25] <vivid> Mailman::: it installs with a text based environment that is designed to not have graphical issues like that
[22:26] <bsmith093> jaunty to lucid, 500m of ram and 3ghz processor, is it worth it?
[22:27] <oskar-> bsmith093:  afaik, there is no path from jaunty to lucid, if not via karmic
[22:29] <opieng> does ubuntu wireless network understand WEP keys? I cant seem to get logged onto to my home network?
[22:30] <vivid> opieng::: yes...
[22:30] <opieng> oh wondering why it wont accept it?
[22:30] <vivid> opieng::: check for proprietary drivers, run 'jockey-gtk'
[22:30] <adam_> oskar
[22:31] <adam_> on http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-7 is the item i want to download the  Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool ?
[22:31] <Guest48753> Do I need to reboot after alsa has been unloaded? I unload alsa and now want audio back. I can't find a man page for alsa.
[22:31] <opieng> vivid, what did you do? It works now :)
[22:32] <vivid> opieng::: did you install the driver?  not even windows works without drivers :p
[22:32] <Somelauw> I have tried burning different linux distro's to disk, but ubuntu is the only one that worked for me. When burning other distro's to disk my computer just hangs in the bios. Is there something special about the ubuntu live cd? The version I burned was ubuntu 10.4
[22:32] <opieng> does seem any need to now, the internet is working on it now
[22:32] <Emil_> How hard will it be to upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10?
[22:33] <bekks> Somelauw: You dont burn a distro to disk, but install it instead.
[22:33] <jrib> Emil_: update-manager will prompt you if you want to upgrade when it's released and you press yes
[22:33] <Jordan_U> adam_: You can fix Windows' boot sector from within Ubuntu. No need for a separate CD.
[22:34] <Somelauw> bekks, how about burning the iso?
[22:34] <vivid> adam_::: what are you trying to accomplish? im positive that download still requires that you own a copy of windows
[22:34] <||arifaX> Somelauw: maybe you have a broken RAM stick?
[22:34] <Emil_> jrib: And they say windows is simple xD
[22:34] <MonkeyDust> Emil_  and 'hard' depends on what you're used to
[22:34] <bassgoon> so if I have 12.04 on a usb drive with a 4gb persistent partition, can I install updates normally on that? or are there some I'll never be able to update?
[22:34] <adam_> im just trying to repair my windows boot sector
[22:34] <adam_> and i have no idea how
[22:34] <bekks> Somelauw: Then you burn the iso to a cd or dvd, but not to a (hard)disk.
[22:34] <Guest48753> Emil_: At the moment 12.10 is considered as in development and you need to take some hurdles to upgrade. Once it has been officially released it is only a mouseclick away.
[22:34] <Jordan_U> adam_: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector
[22:35] <Guest48753> jrib:
[22:35] <Guest48753> jrib: Sorry, you were first. :-)
[22:35] <soman> what I should to use to write native apps for Linux with C/C++ like a WinAPI in Windows?
[22:36] <soman> I mean what libraries or tools etc...
[22:36] <vivid> soman::: vim
[22:36] <Somelauw> bekks, in that case I mean a dvd disk.
[22:36] <soman> vivid: it seems to be a editor, yes?
[22:36] <bekks> Somelauw: Then you have to use dvd iso too.
[22:36] <Jordan_U> soman: Do you plan to make a GUI based app, a terminal based app, a server of some type, or something else?
[22:36] <bekks> Somelauw: Did you do that?
[22:36] <vivid> soman::: libraries depends on what youre trying to write an application to accomplish
[22:37] <soman> Jordan_U: GUI and terminal
[22:37] <Cong> soman, install these g++, gtkmm packages.
[22:37] <vivid> or just build-essential
[22:37] <soman> Cong: it means I should use Gtk+?
[22:37] <vivid> soman::: do you *want* to use gtk?
[22:37] <bekks> gtk+, jeez, no. :)
[22:38] <Somelauw> bekks, what do you mean by dvd iso? I used CDBurnerXP for all the distro's I tried, but it only worked for ubuntu 10.4
[22:38] <oskar-> !info g++
[22:38] <Jordan_U> soman: There are many options, Quickly is an Ubuntu project to make starting out with GUI programming in Ubuntu (along with packaging and other things) as simple as possible: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly
[22:38] <soman> what a crossdistro native GUI are in Linux?
[22:38] <Guest48753> soman: There are gcc and g++ as compiler, the libs depend on what your target is, cli can normally build right away, iirc. Editor of choice would be vim as vivid said.
[22:38] <zykotick9> bassgoon: (not sure) but i don't think you can "update" a persistant install.  i find full installs to USB more powerful (but they don't offer install to other media, and 4GB is probably too small)
[22:38] <soman> or all is dependence of graphic shell?
[22:38] <bekks> Somelauw: a cd iso will not boot correctly when burned onto a dvd - and vice versa.
[22:39] <jrib> soman: all the toolkits are cross*distro* I'd say...
[22:39] <bassgoon> zykotick9, you mean just install ubuntu on my usb drive
[22:39] <Jordan_U> soman: GTK and QT are the major GUI toolkits, though there are others.
[22:39] <jrib> soman: gtk, qt, wx are probably some of the more popular ones...
[22:39] <zykotick9> bassgoon: well, that would be what I would do.  but 4gb is too small to bother...  YMMV
[22:39] <Guest48753> How can I load alsa driver from cli?
[22:39] <bassgoon> zykotick9, no no, it's a 32gb drive, but I created a 4gb casper partition
[22:39] <bassgoon> casper file I guess
[22:40] <zykotick9> bassgoon: ahhh... gotcha
[22:40] <roothorick> so, question
[22:40] <Somelauw> bekks, there is only a single iso I can download: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?distro=desktop&release=lts&bits=64
[22:40] <soman> Jordan_U, jrib and Guest48753 big thanks
[22:40] <roothorick> is wireless SUPPOSED to be disabled by default, i.e. on boot?
[22:40] <Jordan_U> bassgoon: Definitely just go with a normal install then (the same way you would install to an internal drive).
[22:40] <bassgoon> I can keep it fat32?
[22:40] <Jordan_U> soman: You're welcome.
[22:40] <bekks> Somelauw: Then you have to use cd, not a dvd to burn it onto.
[22:40] <Guest48753> roothorick: NO, but you need to enter the key as a user. You can spec if it's for <user> or systemwide.
[22:40] <zykotick9> bassgoon: not with a "real" install no.  FAT isn't posix compliant...
[22:41] <Guest48753> soman: very welcome.
[22:41] <Jordan_U> bassgoon: You can't keep it *only* fat32. You can have Ubuntu on ext4, with an additional Fat32 partition.
[22:41] <bassgoon> Jordan_U, genius :)
[22:41] <bassgoon> and I dont' need swap probably
[22:41] <Somelauw> bekks, I just told you that it worked when I used a dvd.
[22:41] <Jordan_U> adam_: Did you see / understand the link I gave you?
[22:42] <vivid> bassgoon::: you should have a swap anyway....i have 8GB of RAM and my swap contains 43.1 MB of data anyway
[22:42] <bassgoon> vivid, so i'm running ubuntu off a usb flash drive, on a computer where it won't have access to any hdd
[22:42] <adam_> yes
[22:42] <bassgoon> and I need a swap partition?
[22:42] <soman> I'm a newbie to Linux:) One more question: do I need to defragment my ext4 time-to-time as in Win if I often download and delete many files?
[22:42] <adam_> i ran test disk and hopefully this is all fixed
[22:43] <adam_> i also ran sudo update-grub
[22:43] <vivid> bassgoon::: you *should* have a swap partition
[22:43] <adam_> that would have put grub into my linux partition right?
[22:43] <zykotick9> soman: no defrag required for EXT filesystems...  well, not usually anyways.
[22:44] <soman> zykotick9: thanks
[22:44] <vivid> soman::: not needing derag on ext4 is a myth, indeed fragmentation will occur over time
[22:44] <Jordan_U> adam_: No, grub is fine as it is. That link will fix your Windows boot sector.
[22:44] <soman> vivid: ok
[22:44] <vivid> soman::: there is a tool that can defrag single files or the entire filesystem.    'man e4defrag'
[22:45] <adam_> okay, i'll tryrebooting and see if it works
[22:45] <soman> vivid: I run it now in console)) That is good, thank you
[22:46] <Jordan_U> adam_: It helps if you use my nick in your responses, that way they are highlighted in my client and I won't miss them.
[22:46] <itsrachelfish> Is there any way to edit gnome terminal's keyboard shortcuts from a file/the command line?
[22:46] <abimael> is there a board for specific states?
[22:47] <opieng> anyone know the command for downloading Google chorme. I am new to linux/ubuntu and I am determined to learn using the terminal
[22:47] <Guest48753> soman: ext3 and ext4 don't need to be defragmented it is said. Though defrag tools exist. it is not like in windows. :-)
[22:48] <soman> Last Q: Can't build (configuring fails) wxWidgets 2.9.4 in Ubuntu 12.04. What could be a problem? http://paste.kde.org/540686/13461633/ - conf log, http://paste.kde.org/540728/16770213/ terminal out + environment file contents
[22:49] <soman> Guest48753: ok, thanks, I will try it later:)
[22:49] <vivid> soman::: sudo apt-get build-dep <package you want to build>
[22:49] <oskar-> Guest48753, soman: ext3/4 can also have fragmented files. you should keep a reasonable amount of filesystem space free to leave good options to the space allocator algorithm to avoid fragmentation
[22:49] <vivid> soman::: apt-get source <package you want to build>
[22:49] <oskar-> something like 20% free space
[22:49] <vivid> soman::: cd <package directory> && debuild -b
[22:49] <Guest48753> opieng: sudo apt-get install chromium-bsu. see man apt-get.
[22:50] <Jordan_U> soman: You do *not* want to install wxwidgets from source.
[22:51] <soman> vivid: stop stop stop...  As I understand you offer to build *.deb? I didn't compiled it yet...
[22:51] <vivid> soman::: youre on a debian-based system.  so we use debian-based tools to build packages
[22:51] <Guest48753> oskar-: Good point, thanks. Also, imho have / as one partition and /home as another.  The package name I gave you is wrong, don't install.
[22:52] <soman> Guest48753: I didn't get anything
[22:52] <vivid> soman::: the steps to do that are what i listed.  'sudo apt-get build-dep <package>' will install the dependencies.  'apt-get source <package>' will download the source code.  'cd <package-dir> && dpkg-buildpackage -b' will build the binary
[22:52] <Guest48753> opieng: Did you get that...?  But I already have a source... I need to configure it correctly to build a deb from  it later
[22:55] <vivid> soman::: read debian packaging guidelines
[22:55] <vivid> soman::: its too much to explain here, youre going to have to read it
[22:55] <soman> vivid: I know how to build deb with checkinstall but I cannot build sources
[22:56] <Jordan_U> soman: You honestly seem pretty confused at this point. I highly recommend you try app development via Quickly first.
[22:56] <XDS2010> anyone here familiar with 115 ?
[22:56] <soman> Jordan_U: I just lost in solutions :(...
[22:57] <vivid> youre lost because youre trying to take a shortcut
[22:57] <Guest48753> How can I load alsa driver from cli? I've unloaded alsa driver and want to reload them.
[22:57] <vivid> there is NO short way to do a job well... you first need to read the documentation
[22:57] <zykotick9> XDS2010: i only know 114 and 116 myself...
[22:58] <soman> vivid: ok, I will try
[22:58] <Jordan_U> soman: That's why I recommend Quickly. For now at least try ignoring everything else and just follow the quickly tutorial.  I dont need to remove the Kubuntu stuff, as long as the desktop is Gnome.
[23:02] <vivid> rangergorder::: change it at the login screen
[23:02] <bkc_> rangergorder: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[23:02] <bekks> rangergorder: Just install the package "ubuntu-desktop"
[23:02] <vivid> (provided its installed)
[23:02] <rangergorder> thanks
[23:04] <rangergorder> I was trying gnome-desktop...and google searches never mentioned the specific apt package to use :)
[23:05] <dr_willis> ◔_◔
[23:05] <TheLordOfTime> rangergorder:  ubuntu-desktop will install the Ubuntu Desktop software as well
[23:05] <TheLordOfTime> just an FYI
[23:05] <zykotick9> dr_willis: nice...
[23:05] <TheLordOfTime> not just the GNOME/Unity environment
[23:05] <adam__> hello again
[23:05] <bkc_> TheLordOfTime: that's what he wanted :)
[23:06] <adam__> so i can boot windows now, but now i can't boot linux
[23:06] <dr_willis> adam__,  and what does it do exctly when you try?
[23:07] <private> hey all how are you? need a little assistance here
[23:07] <Guest43153> hey all how are you. i need a little assistance here
[23:07] <gry> just ask
[23:07] <adam__> well, i think i just need to reinstall grub onto my linux partition
[23:07] <dr_willis> state the problem and see....
[23:08] <JessicaW> is there any way to disable the notification of a new release? "New release 'precise' available."
[23:08] <dr_willis> adam__,  theres that boot-repair tool/live cd that i tend to use.
[23:08] <dr_willis> !fixgrub
[23:08] <adam__> because when i boot, it goes to the windows boot menu with a "choose your OS" screen, and the only option is windows 7
[23:08] <JessicaW> yup. that's your proble3m
[23:08] <dr_willis> adam__,  you are using a WUBI install of Ubuntu?
[23:08] <JessicaW> *problem
[23:09] <dr_willis> !wubi
[23:09] <Guest43153> i have an intel celeron, i can not boot properly without manually changing the quiet splash to nomode set, with this i have bad graphics. how can i fix this?
[23:09] <adam__> no
[23:09] <adam__> not a wubi installation
[23:09] <dr_willis> Guest43153,  whats your exact video card?
[23:09] <dr_willis> adam__,  you should be seeing a Grub menu befor you see windows then. Guess you should reinstall grub.
[23:09] <bkc_> JessicaW: you can turn them of in Synaptic Settings :)
[23:09] <adam__> i know
[23:10] <Guest43153> how can i check on ubuntu? very new to the OS. thanks
[23:10] <Guest48753> How can I load alsa driver from cli? I've unloaded alsa driver and want to reload them.
[23:10] <JessicaW> bkc_: did that already. still shows up
[23:10] <adam__> how to install grub to my linux partition while im on windows 7?
[23:10] <bkc_> Guest48753: that what?
[23:10] <bkc_> JessicaW: sudo apt-get update
[23:11] <bkc_> Guest48753: find out what driver it is, and then modprobe <driver>
[23:11] <Guest48753> bkc_: I unloaded the alsa driver from cli, now I want to load the modules back without a reboot.
[23:11] <Guest48753> bkc_: Thanks a lot.
[23:11] <multone> hi is there anything a computer science student can do to contribute to ubuntu?
[23:12] <Bosox20051> I need some pro-ubuntu arguments for my teacher. He won't let us use Ubuntu for my operating systems class
[23:12] <Guest43153> dr_willis: how can i check my exact driver on ubuntu
[23:12] <bkc_> multone: use the Testing-Repo and file bug-reports ^^
[23:12] <multone> Bosox20051: why not?
[23:12] <bkc_> Bosox20051: did he say why?
[23:12] <multone> bkc_ anything involving more coding?
[23:12] <zykotick9> Bosox20051: #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:12] <dr_willis> Guest43153,  run the 'addational-drivers' tool from the menu (or cli run 'jockey-gtk')  lspci may show what your video card is also.
[23:13] <bkc_> multone: try applying on the website :)
[23:13] <multone> bkc_: I'm looking for something in between. not a full-time job, but rather a project I can contribute to for a class
[23:14] <bkc_> multone: afaik that can be done to... that's how most people contribute to linux anyway :/
[23:14] <JessicaW> bkc_: I'm a tard. That did it. Thanks.
