[12:24] <Kartagis> I have my route set up, I have the file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original and my DNS settings are in it, but I can't resolve anything unless I replace <IP_ADDRESS> with a valid ns. any ideas?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> if you want gui tools.. why are you installign the server edition Evvyddre ?
[12:24] <Evvyddre> yes
[12:24] <Evvyddre> gui tool for when i am vnx
[12:24] <Evvyddre> vnc
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> !svn
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> No idea on svn guis.
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> check package manager see whats there.
[12:25] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis: can you help me with my issue?
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  depends on the issue. :)
[12:26] <Kartagis> I'm on 12.04, I have my route set up, I have the file /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original and my DNS settings are in it, but I can't resolve anything unless I replace <IP_ADDRESS> with a valid ns. any ideas?
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> No idea Kartagis  i rarely ever have to mess with routeing.
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  then why not replace it, if it solves the problem?
[12:27] <Kartagis> netstat -antlp | grep 53 gives me output
[12:27] <Kartagis> MonkeyDust: then I can't automount my LAN drive
[12:28] <MonkeyDust> Kartagis  it's in fstab -- what happens when you try? errors?
[12:28] <Kartagis> I can mount -a and it is connected, just can't automount
[12:29] <Kartagis> besides, I'm better off knowing what the issue is
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> -a is for auto mounting...
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> unless you mean the user cant mount 'on the fly'  when its first accessed
[12:29] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis: it doesn't mount on boot
[12:30] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> does it mount via the cli afterwards?
[12:30] <geirha> did you add the _netdev option?
[12:30] <Kartagis> I'm wondering if some packages are messed up when I updated the other day
[12:30] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis: yes
[12:30] <Kartagis> geirha: me?
[12:31] <geirha> Kartagis: yes
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  dirty work around = mount it from rc.local - it could be some service is slow to respond so the mount is failing.
[12:31] <Kartagis> geirha: no, but it used to work fine
[12:31] <roasted_> hello!
[12:31] <geirha> Kartagis: Well, adding the _netdev option should ensure that it doesn't try to mount it before the network is up
[12:31] <_skpl> can someone tell me how to find out which graphics driver my system is using?
[12:32] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis: I'll be better off knowing what the issue is in case it happens again
[12:32] <auronandace> _skpl: what is the output of lsmod
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  sounds like network is not ready when it tries to mount.. to me.  as the 'issue'
[12:33] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  no idea how this involves your DNS stuff from earlier. perhaps thats not whats starting fast enough
[12:35] <_skpl> auronandace: im trying to find out why ubuntu 2d is so slow on my machine. lsmod tells me its using my i915 intel agp
[12:35] <Evvyddre> what is the best way of installing mono?
[12:36] <zoki> from eine
[12:36] <auronandace> _skpl: i've never used intel graphics so i don't know sorry
[12:37] <matthewvz> Attempted to install Ubuntu via the windows installer, I rebooted and I get a good size error. "Kennel panic - not syncing VFS: Unable to mount rood fs on unkonwn-block(0,0)" and some other things after that.
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> !mono
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> matthewvz:  is your windows setup on some sort of raid or other weird hard drive setup?
[12:38] <matthewvz> Might be, not sure exactly
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> the Wubi Windows installer is .. well 'flakey' and i dont reccomend it.
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> and Im being very nice about it. :P
[12:39] <matthewvz> I have no other means of installing it on my laptop, had no problem with it on this computer.
[12:39] <_skpl> auronandace: do you have any idea why ubuntu 2d might be running slow? my machien isnt that old.
[12:41] <Guest95837> hi, I just installed ubuntu. Do I need to install graphic drivers separately?
[12:41] <auronandace> _skpl: have you upgraded from a previous release? are you using any ppas?
[12:41] <angela23432> anyone please?
[12:41] <_skpl> auronandace: yeah i upgraded from a previous release. and i think i have a few ppas
[12:42] <angela23432> do I need to install graphic card drivers separately?
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> angela23432  anyone is not here today
[12:42] <joa__> hello, someone got a minute? i ran into the "invalid EFI file path" problem after installing ubuntu for a dual boot setup.
[12:42] <auronandace> _skpl: what ppas?
[12:42] <angela23432> MonkeyDust, are you a bot?
[12:42] <joa__> i got the gist for the bootinfo here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1126994/
[12:43] <auronandace> angela23432: no he isn't
[12:44] <joa__> bot operating systems are installed on different drives, but i wonder if there is a small change i need to perform for grub that gets win7 working again?
[12:44] <auronandace> angela23432: perhaps you could explain your issue
[12:47] <Ileden> angela23432: it depends. Sometimes for good results you need to install "external" (non-libre) drivers. Often not.
[12:49] <Ileden> angela23432: in any case, they can be downloaded and activated from within ubuntu.
[12:50] <Ileden> angela23432: No need to download any files from any website or somesuch (as you'd have to do when installing graphics drivers for windows).
[12:50] <angela23432> Ileden, how do I check if I need to install drivers?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> matthewvz:  id suggest just using VIrtualbox then and forget about Wubi.
[12:51] <Ileden> angela23432: No idea :) If the system doesn't perform as you'd think it should, that's a good sign. Sorry, maybe someone else can tell more about it.
[12:52] <matthewvz> Dr_Willis: Thinking about that, or I just might buy a USB cd drive and install ubuntu that way
[12:52] <Ileden> angela23432: I think the dialog to install graphics drivers is called "Additional Drivers". If there are any available for your graphics card, they should be listed there, and can be activated from there also.
[12:52] <angela23432> well, I'm seeing my screen blinking very fast. is that a sign?
[12:52] <__Hayes__> Hello All :')
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> matthewvz:  Ive ran off a 32gb or 16gb usb flash quite well. :)
[12:53] <Jarrydx26> Hey guys when is ubuntu's Birthday ?
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> matthewvz:  got me a SSD just for Ubuntu on my Desktop box. ;P
[12:53] <angela23432> Ileden, ^
[12:53] <osse> I have an Ubuntu server running. I have apache running which is hosting a Redmine instance. I haven't configured anything special.  Now when logging in it says "You have new mail." and I'm completely at a loss.
[12:53] <matthewvz> Dr_Willis: Not a bad idea
[12:53] <compdoc> Jarrydx26, going to have a party?
[12:54] <__Hayes__> why does my Acer laptop battery goes down in 20mins in ubuntu 12.04 ? is this an known issue? My windows 7 gives more than 1hour battery? Can somebody suggest me?
[12:54] <Jarrydx26> Compdoc : yeah an irc party will be great ! :)
[12:54] <Ileden> angela23432: There's also a _remote_ chance that you need to manually select which of two different drivers (ones included in ubuntu) you should choose. And there's no easy graphical way to do that. But that's a very rare case.
[12:55] <Evvyddre> what is redmine?
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> __Hayes__:  thers some power-saveing issues with some make machines/laptops - best bet would be to check the forums for your exact make of laptop. there may be some knwown tweaks. (check askubuntu.com also)
[12:56] <Evvyddre> is there software i can help with game devlopment?
[12:56] <Abhijit> Evvyddre, 0ad
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> Evvyddre:  I imagine theres lots of software that 'help' but its the details that matter.
[12:57] <Evvyddre> abhijit what is that?
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> !info 0ad
[12:58] <auronandace> Evvyddre: 0ad is a game
[12:58] <Evvyddre> fr_willis: is mostly UDK based with blender objects
[12:58] <Yandex_nm2> Evvyddre: You could contribute to Half Life Episode 3, they're having trouble releasing it on time
[12:59] <WanderingEnder> Yandex_nm2: . . . They're not having trouble, they're just on Valve Time.
[12:59] <Evvyddre> i know i can i got a team of 8 people working with me
[12:59] <WanderingEnder> Evvyddre: Do you know how to program?
[12:59] <Pici> !offtopic | Evvyddre
[13:00] <BluesKaj> Evvyddre, pay them :)
[13:00] <Ileden> angela23432: Note that if there's nothing listed in "additional drivers" that doesn't mean your system isn't using _any_ drivers, only that it's using the ones that come with ubuntu.
[13:01] <Evvyddre> WanderingEnder: i just look at code and learn from it
[13:01] <Evvyddre> what project website based thing i can use to help with my devlopement?
[13:02] <auronandace> Evvyddre: that isn't a ubuntu support question
[13:03] <Evvyddre> auronandace: i am sorry then
[13:05] <WanderingEnder> Evvyddre: You might try #unbutu-offtopic, or a forum for game development issues, or Reddit's game development subreddit.
[13:06] <Pici> WanderingEnder, Evvyddre: its #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:07] <WanderingEnder> >.> Yes, yes it is.
[13:07] <Evvyddre> Thanks to all who help me
[13:08] <Sludge321> Hi all. I've just gone dun goofed up. I just ran "sudo chmod -R +X /" where I accidentally hit slash instead of a ".". Would this cause any major issues, I did try to ctrl+c as soon as I hit enter and saw what I'd done, but some damage has been done. Any easy way to compare directory permissions with another system? Or does it not really matter, as it was just making directories executable? Thanks.
[13:08] <AdvoWork> to find the size of a file, i know I can do du -csh * for example, but have to keep running it to check how much it increases, is there a realtime command I can use to keep checking a specific filesize?
[13:09] <jrib> Sludge321: easiest/fastest solution: reinstall
[13:09] <Pici> AdvoWork: you could use 'watch' to keep running the command automatically.
[13:09] <newbie|3> I've 12.04 LTS 64 bit.  I use Amule for some time.  Yesterday, it worked.  Today, no.  Where do I need to look to "repair" the problem?
[13:10] <WanderingEnder> Sludge321: Is your /home and such mounted on a different partition? Reinstall, its pretty much the fastest and easiest way unless you can't recover the data you'll lose.
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  use watch 'ls -l'
[13:11] <Sludge321> jrib: Yeah :( I think I might have to, will be a real pain though. No - it was on a VPS webserver, so no real home data (sites sit in /var) - plus its all on the one partition anyway.
[13:12] <jrib> Sludge321: less easy/slower way is to use setfacl if you have a known good copy of the filesystem somewhere (for example a live cd)
[13:12] <Sludge321> WanderingEnder: Thanks, but unfortunately no separate partition. I have daily backups though.
[13:13] <Sludge321> jrib: Thanks, will take a look - might be helpful.
[13:13] <jrib> Sludge321: specifically the --restore option
[13:14] <The_BROS> How to record video tour in Google Earth into video file?
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> newbie|3:  run it from terminal, look for error messages
[13:15] <WanderingEnder> Gah, I can't remember how to work ubottu anymore. The_BROS wants a screen capture program, I think. Should be one in the Software Center.
[13:15] <MonkeyDust> The_BROS  kazam has a timeout option, i guess
[13:15] <Sludge321> jrib: Thanks. I was kind of crossing my fingers that because it was just setting exec permissions on directories (most of which have it pretty much already set?), i'd be able to get away with my mistake. But I've already received an email from backupninja cron complaining that /etc/backup.d can't be world readable - so I think damage has been done.
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> WanderingEnder:  he wants to export a tour from google earth. :) not quiet the same.
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> The_BROS:  if the app dosent have the feature - theres the 'recordmydesktop' tool.
 I know about screen capture
[13:16] <tking> i wish i know where to get CentOS help like ubuntu here... pls some1 help me with installng python in CentOS vps bcos yum is not working
[13:16] <WanderingEnder> Oh, that. I thought google earth had export tour.
[13:16] <WanderingEnder> tking: #CentOS?
[13:16] <williamcoleman> is there appropriate spam filters to us in ubuntu
[13:16] <newbie|3> Dr_Willis: Will do that, brb
 yeah. I know about it. But I try to find the way to record it without using screengrabbers
[13:17] <WITRChris> i'm trying to make an answer file for 12.04 to make a completely automated install
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> !oem
[13:17] <WITRChris> i've got http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1127055/ so far, but it's still pormpting for location and keyboard and network configuration
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. thought there was some OEM file for that.. but i never do that  stuff.
[13:17] <WITRChris> then it installs, and asks what tasksel groups to pick
[13:20] <WanderingEnder> I thought there was too.
[13:20] <WanderingEnder> WITRChris: That sounds like the standard OEM mode, so the end user can have an "out of box" experience. Yeah, that's not what you want.
[13:20] <WITRChris> ive got a netboot server
[13:21] <WITRChris> i just want it to specify the 'answers' file and have it install, given a default root password
[13:21] <AdvoWork> MonkeyDust, nice thanks
[13:23] <Neal_> How do I get rid of *** System Restart Required *** ?
[13:23] <newbie|3> I was given the solution on the amule channel for that problem.  Now I have a bluetooth question.
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> Neal_  it disappears after you restarted
[13:23] <zykotick9> Neal_: restart your system?
[13:24] <Odra> Hello, I'm new to development and I got a question. Suppose I have an application which just happens to run on ubuntu. How do I get that application listed on the software manager / distributors?
[13:24] <Pici> !newpackage  | Odra
[13:24] <Neal_> I don't want to restart the whole server. I restared the process network-manager (which required the restart)
[13:25] <newbie|3> I have a bluetooth dongle on my desktop. I have an Archos 101 G9 turbo (1.2) tablet.  My desktop with the dongle finds my cell phone, but not the tablet.  Why and what must I do to make it work?
[13:25] <zykotick9> Neal_: i believe you get the Restart Required when there have been kernel updates... and that requires a reboot to apply
[13:25] <MonkeyDust> Neal_  if the restart was required after a kernel upgrade, consider using ksplice
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> !info ksplice
[13:30] <Evvyddre> how do i disable the desktop on ubuntu server boot?
[13:30] <MonkeyDust> !text| Evvyddre
[13:30] <Neal_> Heh
[13:30] <Neal_> Any free alternatives to ksplice? :D
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> Neal_  i guess ksplice *is* the aternative
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> l
[13:31] <Ramattack> Hi!
[13:31] <theubuntuwarrior> whats good people
[13:32] <Ramattack> Does anyone know how to sync an android phone with any mail client??
[13:33] <tomtiger11> Ramattack: Is that an Ubuntu question?
[13:33] <epinky> !ot
[13:33] <Ramattack> Yep it's a ubuntu related question
[13:33] <Ramattack> How to that on ubuntu
[13:38] <Evvyddre> is there a file you can just edit?
[13:39] <Tm_T> Where do I change display font sizes on Unity?
[13:39] <Ileden> Ramattack: The best way to do that isn't really Ubuntu related. Store the email messages on the email server, using IMAP account type. Then you can access the same mailbox in the same state from both ubuntu and your android.
[13:40] <Ramattack> Have explained wrong
[13:40] <Ileden> Ramattack: For other Android related questions, you can try an Android help site, like http://android.stackexchange.com
[13:41] <Ramattack> I want to sync calendar and contacts basically... Mail is managed through Imap yes
[13:41] <DJones> Tm_T: You might be able to do that using "myunity" (Not somethig I've played with though
[13:41] <Ileden> Ramattack: Ah, ok. Calendar and contacts. Sorry, I don't know much about them on Ubuntu side.
[13:42] <Tm_T> DJones: yup, I'm wondering the supported way though (:
[13:42] <Ileden> Ramattack: Hopefully someone else can help.
[13:42] <Ramattack> Ok then so nobody knows??
[13:43] <Tm_T> Ramattack: depends on what kind of technologies your server supports for syncing calendar and contacts
[13:43] <y4h0> hey
[13:43] <Ramattack> No one
[13:43] <y4h0> do you know how to install oracle-java-7 in ubuntu 64bit ?
[13:44] <zykotick9> !java | y4h0
[13:44] <Ramattack> Just wanted to sync a client like evolution and of course talking abot contacts and callendar
[13:45] <osse> I have a Ubuntu server running. As far as I know I haven't set up any mail-related applications or configurations. When I log in I see the text "You have new mail" which wasn't there a few days ago. How can I read the mail?
[13:45] <Tm_T> Ramattack: assuming calendrar and contaxts are stored on a server, simply configure both clients (computer and phone) to use the same server/account
[13:45] <Tm_T> Ramattack: if you want to sync directly between clients, then I do not know any sensible solution
[13:46] <micqo11> guys, is it possible to make a livecd from sdcard? or only from usb stick?
[13:46] <roasted_> anybody using likewise-open with AD services on 12.04? I'm having trouble in the "assumedefaultdomain" department.
[13:47] <SliMM> hello
[13:47] <Ramattack> I'm not using exchange or zimbra or so....
[13:47] <Ramattack> Just a mailbox machine... The part of calendar and contacta go directly in tue clients
[13:47] <Tm_T> Ramattack: not even imap sotre?
[13:48] <Tm_T> sotre/store/
[13:48] <voldyman> hi. i am running ubuntu 12.04. before login it gives me dbus-launch --sh-session --binary-syntax --autolaunch=<somelongstring> and does not show the login page.
[13:48] <Ramattack> Yep imap is the way I manage mail
[13:48] <Tm_T> Ramattack: I recall there were methods on storing claendar and contacts to imap
[13:49] <Tm_T> might be worth investigating
[13:49] <Ramattack> Yes??
[13:49] <Ramattack> I didn't heard Bout them
[13:49] <_josh> Occasionally, when I shut my laptop lid, ubuntu logs me out instead of suspending (i'm using awesome wm and xfce4-power-manager)
[13:49] <_josh> anybody know how to debug this?
[13:50] <voldyman> can anyone help me??
[13:51] <epinky> voldyman: graphic card issue maybe, manual  Xorg configuration is needed
[13:51] <voldyman> epinky: any guide? or specific thing to change?
[13:52] <SliMM> Hello
[13:53] <SliMM> I was trying to compile the Application Indicators example from here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators
[13:53] <SliMM> with the following command: gcc $(pkg-config --libs --cflags appindicator-0.1 gtk+-3.0) app-indicator.c -o app-indicator
[13:53] <SliMM> The compilation part is fine, but then the linker fails to find any gtk-related function
[13:54] <SliMM> any ideas why?
[13:54] <SliMM> there are no complaints about appindicator functions
[13:55] <epinky> voldyman: that's very specific to every graphic card though, you can read about X configuration: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/
[13:55] <voldyman> thanks epinky
[13:55] <kristenbb> What tool could I use to create a video out of very similar looking images, of the same size ?
[13:56] <drag0nius_netboo> hi
[13:56] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  openshot
[13:56] <drag0nius_netboo> is there some app to manage broadband modems?
[13:56] <kristenbb> MonkeyDust: is there other alternatives, or is it really the best around?
[13:57] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  try it and see if it suits you
[13:57] <drag0nius_netboo> preferably with GUI, SIM features (sms etc)
[13:57] <kristenbb> MonkeyDust: sure. What's the syntax?
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  sudo apt-get install openshot
[13:58] <auronandace> kristenbb: openshot is a gui program
[13:58] <kristenbb> MonkeyDust: no I mean to actually create the video.
[13:58] <kristenbb> auronandace: oh, I was looking for a command line application, sorry I didn't mention it
[13:58] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  best is to try and explore the program
[13:59] <kristenbb> What command line tool could I use to create a video out of very similar looking images, of the same size ?
[13:59] <MonkeyDust> ah, CLI, i missed that part
[13:59] <kristenbb> no you didn't, I had forgotten to mention it.
[13:59] <kristenbb> sorry.
[14:00] <mneptok> kristenbb: vlc-cli may be able to do it. may.
[14:00] <Evvyddre> hey how do resize my partishions?

[14:08] <Squall5668> If changing GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX won't change my tty resolution won't do a thing
[14:08] <Squall5668> how can i find whatever it is that's overriding it? Or won't that work anymore in 12.04 for some reason? No video drivers installed
[14:09] <Calinou> c<Evvyddre> man the torrents are fast 3.5mbs
[14:09] <Calinou> that depends on your connection
[14:09] <Calinou> a direct download could be as fast
[14:12] <DebolazW> Calinou: Though in a well seeded torrent, your connection is going to be the only constraint, whileas with a direct download, you are also constrained by the servers bandwidth.
[14:12] <DebolazW> So a torrent is likely to be faster.
[14:12] <Evvyddre> how do i use gpart?
[14:13] <Calinou> whoever seeds
[14:13] <Calinou> Evvyddre, sudo gparted
[14:13] <auronandace> !gksudo | Calinou

[14:17] <colock> i don't think it's even getting the network configured and/or trying to actually fetch the preseed file on my webserver. any idea?
[14:17] <colock> (yes, i've removed the "quiet" option at boot)
[14:18] <kwoot> Hello. Can somebody tell me how the gtk-bookmarks file is build/copied upon first login? So I can customize my rollout.
[14:19] <ubuntumepls> I am running lubuntu (i wanted ubuntu but dont have a 4gb flash drive). I finally managed to format my HDD and now i want to use an ISO to install windows without having to use a DVD. Current problem is that i can't move grub.exe to filesystem folder because i dont have permission. What is the command to move a file in terminal?
[14:19] <srabtnom> colock: is it possible to enable logging ?
[14:19] <colock> srabtnom: don't know how. What I know is that kernel "quiet" option masks kernel messages from the console (so that nice fb loading images can be used without cluttering)
[14:20] <srabtnom> ubuntumepls: if you tried sudo and it doesn't work, run 'mount' and check if the fs is mounted ro (readonly)
[14:20] <ubuntumepls> srabtnom: is there an option to run file manager as root?
[14:20] <colock> srabtnom: now i'm monitoring apache's access.log on web server
[14:20] <srabtnom> colock: sometimes graphical boot is on tty1, and logging is on anoter terminal like tty7
[14:21] <colock> but again, it's too quick for me. no time to get drivers loaded, network interface up, dhcp address and tcp connection to webserver
[14:21] <colock> srabtnom: i know
[14:21] <colock> i want to debug the preseed/url option
[14:21] <colock> it's clearly not taken into account
[14:21] <srabtnom> ubuntumepls: sudo your_file_manager, if that doesn't work try gksu instead of sudo
[14:21] <colock> 'cause it goes into interactive mode even before getting the network up
[14:22] <colock> or maybe it's impossible to have fully automated install using a remote preseed file?
[14:22] <W4sp> ‰/load script hide
[14:22] <kwoot> anyone? pelase?
[14:22] <colock> double check boot command line to be sure only one preseed is used
[14:22] <srabtnom> kwoot: try /etc/skel
[14:23] <kwoot> scrabtnom: could it be that simple?
[14:23] <srabtnom> kwoot: it should
[14:23] <ubuntumepls> gksudo pcmanfm gives me Error
[14:23] <ubuntumepls> nvm
[14:23] <colock> srabtnom: ok course :] by default: file=/.../kubuntu.seed is used :/
[14:23] <colock> eheh
[14:24] <srabtnom> colock: that's the attitude ;)
[14:24] <colock> srabtnom: still this is strange
[14:25] <SliMM> where should I put an icon so that notify-osd can find it without much trouble?
[14:25] <colock> by intuition and common sense, if you give auto and url= at boot command line, the initrd should (in my opinion) 1) load needed components from cd 2) bring up network 3) fetch preseed from url= parameter
[14:25] <colock> instead is doing the same, interactive thingie
[14:25] <harshadura> hi, I am currently using Ubuntu 11.04 version, If I use the same old version without updating to the latest ubuntu 12.04 version, will it be a case for me. I mean is that old versions not getting patches and bug fixes ?
[14:25] <SliMM> or appindicators
[14:26] <SliMM> harshadura: You get patches for security and bugfixes, but not for new package versions.
[14:26] <ubuntumepls> grub.exe: Error splicing file: Input/output error
[14:27] <harshadura> okay thx SliMM
[14:28] <colock> no luck :/
[14:28] <kwoot> scrubtnom: well, /etc/skel does not seem to contain something that builds the gtk-bookmarks file. sorry.
[14:28] <colock> I would love to know what I'm doing wrong :/
[14:28] <colock> tried auto url= and auto preseed/url=
[14:29] <colock> (removing the existing file= for kubuntu.seed)
[14:29] <W4sp> load
[14:29] <Pici> kwoot: I remember looking into something like this a while ago.  From what I remember, there are defaults in gconf (or I guess dconf now) that might be populating those values.
[14:30] <kwoot> Pici: great hint! will have a looksee. thanks!
[14:30] <Pici> kwoot: I just can't recall where those are stored, I'm on a server install right now and can't check.
[14:30] <colock> the  only thing I see in the logging console is: main-menu: DEBUG: resolver (libc6-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored)
[14:30] <colock> same with (libnewt0.52)
[14:30] <kwoot> Pici: np. grep works for me :-)
[14:31] <colock> one thing i'm sure, it's not some error in my preseed.txt file, 'cause the installer don't even try to fetch it
[14:31] <ubuntumepls> ".launch from system->administrator menu)." what does this mean?
[14:31] <colock> how to make the kubuntu-alternate amd64 11.10 cd actually use a custom, remote preseed file? anyone?
[14:32] <sparklr> how do i open file browser plugin in gedit?
[14:34] <chandru_in> I use the default backup system of Ubuntu to backup to an external HD. The external HD is full from incremental backups. How do I free up space by deleting backups older than 6 months?
[14:34] <jbwiv> the volume control widgit on my computer never works reliably. There's only two sound levels it changes to, even though the bar moves through many levels. I have to use alsamixer to fix. Any idea how to fix this?
[14:34] <Squall5668> nevermind, GFXMODE works fine, it was my stupidity...
[14:34] <Squall5668> (ofc)
[14:35] <colock> i guess I will try with a debian netbook media...
[14:35] <colock> *netboot
[14:35] <MonkeyDust> Squall5668  that's called 'pebcak'
[14:35] <Squall5668> MonkeyDust: yeah i know... id10t
[14:36] <ubuntumepls> Why can't i extract from an ISO "isoinfo: Input/output error. Read error on old image"
[14:36] <colock> maybe you're hdd is dying ubuntumepls
[14:36] <colock> check dmesg output
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> ubuntumepls  start from the beginning, what are you doing
[14:37] <colock> if you see quite a few I/O errors, you should seriously consider backupping all the important stuff (if not already done) and change it asap
[14:37] <ubuntumepls> MonkeyDust: I am trying to install windows 7 from Lubuntu by using this guide http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-install-windows-7-from-ubuntu-without-burnning-a-disc
[14:37] <sparklr> how do i open file browser plugin in gedit?
[14:37] <colock> also S.M.A.R.T. could give useful insight about the status of your disks
[14:37] <ubuntumepls> MonkeyDust: colock: the HDD has been formated and partioned as per instructed by the guide. ALso the HDD has some bad sectors but i think its ok.
[14:38] <ubuntumepls> MonkeyDust: At this moment i'm trying to extract the contents of the ISO file
[14:38] <colock> ubuntumepls: during format, did you check for badblocks?
[14:38] <ubuntumepls> colock: I checked the smart data to see. Do you suggest something else?
[14:38] <colock> ubuntumepls: what does dmesg say?
[14:39] <colock> you see some/many I/O Errors there?
[14:39] <ubuntumepls> Many.
[14:40] <ubuntumepls> colock: Any way to output dmesg to a file?
[14:40] <matejv> I have a problem with cups. Its filling disk space in /var/spool/cups. 50GB in couple of minutes. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
[14:40] <colock> ubuntumepls: dmesg > outputfile
[14:41] <colock> ubuntumepls: if you see many I/O errors on HD, this is bad. well, actually since i think this is a fresh install, you shouldn't have important data (yet) on it
[14:42] <colock> srabtnom: if you're interested, some insights about my preseed problem: http://phaq.phunsites.net/2010/12/08/debian-netinst-installer-ignores-network-and-locale-preseed-cfg-settings-upon-pxetftp-boot/
[14:42] <colock> quite sure this isn't only the case with pxetftp boot
[14:42] <ubuntumepls> colock: if there are many bad sectors, does it mean their number will expand?
[14:43] <colock> ubuntumepls: means the HDD is near the end of its life
[14:43] <colock> ubuntumepls: buy a new one
[14:43] <ubuntumepls> colock: the other one failed me and is in service, this one is temporary for a week or so
[14:43] <colock> ubuntumepls: still, maybe you get I/O errors about the cdrom, you know, and it's just a defect cd
[14:43] <ubuntumepls> colock: 80GB IDE hdd...
[14:43] <colock> seems old
[14:44] <ubuntumepls> colock: CDROM ?
[14:44] <ubuntumepls> colock: they relate to DEV SDA which is the 80GB hdd
[14:46] <ubuntumepls> the output of dmesg: http://pastebin.com/8JqBi5Hp
[14:48] <colock> ubuntumepls: almost dead HDD. change it. period
[14:48] <em_> hi everybody
[14:48] <ubuntumepls> colock: You don't reckon it will last a week? :(
[14:48] <ubuntumepls> colock: As i've said the other one is in service as it has failed too and i'm expecting another one in one week...
[14:49] <em_> i have a problem with my sound drivers i have a hp xw4300 workstation , ubuntu 12.04 i386
[14:50] <L3top> colock: that was informative (preseed) thank you.
[14:50] <auronandace> ubuntumepls: can't really tell how long it will last but i wouldn't trust it with anything important anymore
[14:50]  * em_ can anyone try to help me
[14:51] <colock> L3top: you welcome [:
[14:51] <auronandace> ubuntumepls: could use a live system for a week
[14:51] <sparklr> how do i open file browser plugin in gedit?
[14:51] <colock> ubuntumepls: yes, but don't rely on it and don't get angry if it's slow as hell and if you're machine freezes
[14:51] <colock> ubuntumepls: and of course, if you loose data.
[14:52] <ubuntumepls> auronandace: can't run windows specific software on ubuntu
[14:52]  * em_ anybodyy...
[14:52] <L3top> !details | em_
[14:53] <auronandace> ubuntumepls: depends what it is, wine works well for my needs
[14:53] <em_> i did it early
[14:53] <em_> "i have a problem with my sound drivers i have a hp xw4300 workstation , ubuntu 12.04 i386"
[14:53] <MonkeyDust> em_  the question being?
[14:54] <em_> i have a problem with my sound drivers i have a hp xw4300 workstation , ubuntu 12.04 i386
[14:54] <L3top> That is not detailed enough to help you em_. "a problem" is not descriptive enough to troubleshoot
[14:54] <MonkeyDust> em_  what kind of problem?
[14:55] <em_> well the sound card works fine in windows but not in ubuntu...
[14:55] <em_> work only the self integrated speaker
[14:55] <auronandace> em_: check alsamixer
[14:56] <Agent069> !ciao
[14:56] <Agent069> !list
[14:56] <Agent069> hello
[14:56] <Agent069> !list
[14:57] <auronandace> Agent069: go away
[14:57] <Agent069> !hello
[14:57] <DJones> !piracy | Agent069
[14:57] <em_> auronandace, how do i check it
[14:57] <auronandace> em_: open a terminal and type: alsamixer
[14:58] <auronandace> em_: any MM means a channel is muted
[14:59] <colock> yeah, almost perfectly on first run :]
[14:59] <colock> should just fix the kayboard layout preseed config and i'm done. Well next step is to create a custom kubuntu-alternate-11.10-amd64 livecd with the custom isolinux config :P
[15:00] <em_> no it's now working
[15:00] <em_> got a Realtek ALC260   sound card
[15:00] <colock> hopefully, i can make a fully automated vbox install with just 700 MB to download (vbox config ~ 1MB, iso ~ 700MB)
[15:01] <em_> and the very bad news is that even not the integrated one not wokring
[15:04] <retnan> at times modem just doesnt show up. is there a commandline equivalent to force-start it?
[15:04] <retnan> the modem works only is you reboot and that sucks
[15:04] <onicrom> Hi All, Can anyone tell me if there is a ptpv2(IEEE 1588) client available for ubuntu?
[15:09] <zeref> hi guys, is it possible to port an appliation to Quickly?
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> zeref  Quickly is shell for Glade / python
[15:10] <Agent069> !hi
[15:10] <MonkeyDust> kind of
[15:10] <retnan> zeref: depends on the number of OS specific calls made
[15:10] <Agent069> !hello
[15:10] <Agent069> ciao
[15:10] <smartboyhw> Go to #ubuntu-meeting now
[15:10] <Agent069> !list
[15:11] <zeref> MonkeyDust:  retnan: i've created an app (glade and python) but now i'd like to build it into a .deb file.
[15:11] <zeref> can i build it with quickly?
[15:14] <MonkeyDust> zeref  you're seeing it wrong, quickly uses glade to create python apps, i guess this is what you want: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-deb-package-ubuntu-debian.html
[15:14] <ubuntumepls> I never understood how i should install flash player on linux since the tar gz archive has no executable to run
[15:14] <ubuntumepls> same for all the other software that is archived
[15:15] <zeref> ahh, thanks MonkeyDust
[15:15] <zeref> i understand now
[15:24] <Jon--> VLC error "It seems your FFMPEG (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:MPEG I/II Layer 3." what package do I need to install for this?
[15:26] <uofm49426> i used ubuntu 64 bit and w7 64 bit have 4 gb dual channel i have a extra 2 gb not installed would you wait to install to 6 gb single channel or wait for 8 gb dual channel
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> uofm49426  what do you mean bu "channel"?
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> by
[15:27] <uofm49426> dual channel
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> what's a dual channel?
[15:28] <Blazemore> Where data is written to two physical sticks of RAM simultaneously
[15:29] <epinky> only two?
[15:29] <Blazemore> uofm49426: More RAM is almost always better than faster RAM. If you think you will benefit from 6Gb of RAM over 4Gb, go ahead and install it. Any speed difference will not have a noticable effect compared to the improvements of having more memory available
[15:31] <Blazemore> When I was specifying my current system, I could have 16Gb of RAM, or 8Gb of faster RAM for the same price, and I went for the 16Gb because the extra speed resulting from less swapping is immense
[15:31] <uofm49426> well everyone going 12 16 gb now days  just to see how much they can cram into it
[15:31] <ssta> plus having a large shm ramdisk is insanely useful for some applications (orders of magnitude improvement in performance for disk intensive tasks)
[15:32] <Blazemore> ssta: you speak the truth.
[15:32] <Blazemore> Having 16Gb of RAM, two monitors and two sets of keyboard and mice effectively allows me to run two computers at once using VirtualBox, each with 8Gb of RAM
[15:33] <uofm49426> i think i read sometime under a scenario single channel is better then dual
[15:33] <ssta> I run development j2ee appservers/IDEs from shm...literally 10-50x increase in startup/deployment times
[15:33] <ssta> of course, you need LOTS of memory for that, but I wouldn't build a system with less than 16G these days
[15:34] <uofm49426> well my motherboard max is 8
[15:35] <ssta> then put in 8
[15:35] <uofm49426> its a m3n78-pro
[15:35] <ssta> RAM is cheap
[15:35] <uofm49426> asus
[15:35] <mi3> I can surf the internet and download torrents even behind a firewall, I use ufw, can someone suggest why thats possible ?  I have only allowed ssh, all other ports are closed.
[15:35] <ssta> and it's probably the best performance increase per unit-cost you can get
[15:35] <darksifer> hi everyone. i know this is off topic but is there something like http://wayback.archive.org/ which archives old version of webpages. this one has 24 jul 2011 as the last recorded snapshots. thank you
[15:36] <gopostal> any good hardware recovery tools on ubuntu?

[15:36] <MonkeyDust> !recover| gopostal

[15:36] <uofm49426> i just asking if you would go single channel because you have a extra stick or wait for 8 gbdual channel
[15:37] <CharlieSu> Hi all.  I'm running 12.04 and seem to be having a problem w/ my servers running 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.3   but not with my servers running 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.2.  How can I downgrade w/ APT?
[15:37] <gopostal> thanks :)
[15:37] <kyentei> Hello all! Quick question: What encryption method does Ubuntu 12.04 use per default voor /etc/shadow? is it SHA512?
[15:37] <MonkeyDust> CharlieSu  downgrade may and most probably will harm your system
[15:37] <kyentei> voor = for
[15:38] <CharlieSu> MonkeyDust: that is fine.. How do I do it?
[15:38] <mi3> umm, anyone ?
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> CharlieSu  guess you won't find much advice on how to harm your system
[15:39] <CharlieSu> MonkeyDust: brand new system..  not production.. i just want to try..
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> CharlieSu  start from the beginning, what are you doing and what goes wrong, maybe there's another solution
[15:41] <Blazemore> CharlieSu: If you don't mind breaking your system, go ahead and try it. My advice would be: only change one thing at a time
[15:41] <CharlieSu> Blazemore: ok.. how do i downgrade tho?  I can't figure it out
[15:48] <gopostal> what options do i have when my computer doesnt see my harddisk? it starts spinning but then stops and wont be mounted, can i force this or anything for recovery
[15:49] <NewWorld> gopostal:  Is it not listed with `sudo fdisk -l` ?
[15:50] <wildcat86> greets, need help updating my kernel.
[15:50] <wildcat86> I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and I'd like to update to 3.3.6... my computers having freezing issues.
[15:50] <gopostal> NewWorld, hmm no :(
[15:50] <wildcat86> I've downloaded the latest snapshot of the .deb file, but it synaptic doesn't seem to make it stick.
[15:50] <MonkeyDust> wildcat86  update what, exactly?
[15:51] <wildcat86> my kernel
[15:51] <NewWorld> gopostal:  Unplug it. Replug and check `dmesg` does it list any new events?
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> wildcat86  the current kernel is 3.2.0-27, anything higher is not supported here
[15:51] <zgr> hello, where I can get fresh chromium (not chrome!) for ubuntu 12.04? ppas are out of date
[15:52] <Blazemore> zgr you want latest stable upstream?
[15:52] <wildcat86> Hm.
[15:52] <MonkeyDust> zgr  i use chromium, but no ppa was needed, it's in the repos
[15:52] <bharath_> though my architecture is i386 but wubi.exe is downloading amd64 ubuntu, how can I overcome it?
[15:52] <wildcat86> MonkeyDust, ok, how do I upgrade to .27?
[15:52] <Blazemore> zgr: You can build the source, there are instructions here http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxBuildInstructions
[15:52] <wildcat86> I'm running 3.2.0-23-generic
[15:53] <wildcat86> and if my computer isn't attached to a cat5, it freezes.
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> wildcat86  basically: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:53] <wildcat86> usually on login
[15:53] <BluesKaj> zgr, sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[15:53] <wildcat86> anyone else have this really annoying freeze problem?
[15:53] <wildcat86> I've only experienced it with 12.04
[15:53] <BluesKaj> zgr, get rid of the ppas first
[15:53] <wildcat86> I was thinking hardware?
[15:54] <gopostal> NewWorld, i do get a pretty big list but i guess it has to be on the bottom line? there doenst seem to be anything related to a harddisk
[15:54] <bharath_> though my architecture is i386 but wubi.exe is downloading amd64 ubuntu, how can I overcome it?
[15:54] <lJ6il> Is there a non-graphical way to choose the fastest repository ?
[15:54] <Blazemore> bharath_: Download the ISO yourself and use Wubi to install it? (can that be done?)
[15:54] <NewWorld> gopostal:  Yeah. OK I mean do `dmesg` unplug+replug, and dmesg again. See what's new
[15:54] <zgr> BluesKaj: but in repos is out of date too: 18.0.1025.168~r134367-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[15:55] <bharath_> Blazemore:  will it work?
[15:55] <Blazemore> lJ6il: There are two ways. The best way is to use netselect and some grep
[15:55] <Blazemore> lJ6il: http://askubuntu.com/questions/39922/how-do-you-select-the-fastest-mirror-from-the-command-line/141536#141536
[15:55] <Blazemore> bharath_: I don't know if Wubi has a way to select an iso manually these days
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> zgr  current chromium  ersion is 18.0.1025.168
[15:56] <MonkeyDust> version*
[15:56] <lJ6il> Thank you Blazemore !
[15:56] <Blazemore> bharath_: Yes! it will work. Download the 32-bit iso and place it in the same folder as Wubi.exe
[15:56] <gopostal> NewWorld, hmm nothing
[15:57] <zgr> MonkeyDust: "current" is actually 22.0.1199.0
[15:57] <Blazemore> bharath_: OR right-click Wubi.exe, select Create Shortcut. Right-click the shortcut, select Properties. Modify the Target line like "...wubi.exe" --32bit
[15:57] <wildcat86> W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-backports/Release
[15:57] <Blazemore> I'm on 18.0.1025.168 of Chromium, how can I upgrade?
[15:57] <wildcat86> is there a reason for that not on my end?
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> !latest| zgr
[15:58] <bharath_> Blazemore: why do I need a shortcut?
[15:59] <Blazemore> bharath_: Because you can't add command-line arguments to a Windows program from the GUI
[15:59] <NewWorld> gopostal:  do you think the actual hardware is bust? how long after you connect it does it power down (every time for the same duration)? Does it make weird noises?
[15:59] <Blazemore> You could open a command-line and browse to the directory, then do wubi.exe --32bit
[16:00] <zgr> MonkeyDust: yes I understand but staying on out of date version with vulerabilities http://www.zdnet.com/blog/security/chrome-20-fixes-20-security-vulnerabilities/12623 not good idea too
[16:01] <gopostal> NewWorld, yeah its probably bust, it sound well, starts spinning but after 10-20secs it just stops
[16:01] <MonkeyDust> zgr  i guess the version you want is simply not supported here
[16:02] <ssh-1138> Hi
[16:02] <NewWorld> gopostal:  Try it on a different machine, with a different cord if possible
[16:02] <ssh-1138> oh wait, I was here.
[16:02] <ssh-1138> My ubuntu keeps freezing if my ethernet cord is out.
[16:02] <ssh-1138> can someone help?
[16:02] <gopostal> NewWorld, i did try that
[16:03] <ssh-1138> I have it plugged in now, and its fine.
[16:04] <gopostal> NewWorld, does it mean that theres noway i can recover my data?
[16:04] <NewWorld> gopostal:  If the hardware is busted you could take it to a recovery specialist, but their services aren't cheap
[16:05] <NewWorld> gopostal:  Last last last resort , I heard that if you put it in the freezer for a few hours in a sealed bag. Then you take it out and have 10 mins to recover what you can before it's permanently gone. That's just what I heard though, you should google some more tips)
[16:06] <gopostal> NewWorld, oke its worth a try :) and to open up the disk?
[16:07] <ssta> don't open up the disk...you'll definitely lose teh data then
[16:07] <gopostal> ssta, oke thanks
[16:07] <gopostal> NewWorld, thanks for the help i will try the freezer :)
[16:08] <NewWorld> gopostal:  OK, please google this method to see what others have said about it. There should be more info
[16:09] <deathtech> gopostal : Make sure to put it in the bag. Also, if you purchase a new one, stay leery of Seagate drives. some are just fine. in my experience a lot more fail.
[16:09] <kai__> Seagate are great for me, I've had 2 westen digital drives fail on me :/. Quess that why lol
[16:09] <NewWorld> gopostal:  And a _sealed_ bag so no moisture enters
[16:10] <kai__> ive been using this seagate drive for 3 years no problems
[16:10] <Lebby11> lol ... i read the freezer ...
[16:10] <ssta> drives fail...all drives fail...this is why we need backups :)
[16:10] <deathtech> Yeah, WD isnt MUCH better, ive just had more luck i guess vs SG.
[16:10] <kai__> deja dup
[16:10] <kai__> good auto backup
[16:10] <deathtech> l2backup ? :)
[16:10] <alvesjnr> Hi all. I want to use portuguese characters (as ã, ç, á ... etc) on my linux terminal (ctrl+alt+F1). Any help on it? I don't know even where to start
[16:11] <BluesKaj> kai__, odd my seagate died but 3 WD are sr=till in service , one is 7 yrs old
[16:11] <MonkeyDust> alvesjnr  have you asked in the portuguese or brazilian channel?
[16:11] <gopostal> oke thanks all
[16:11] <alvesjnr> MonkeyDust, oops, didn't even though about that
[16:11] <Lebby11> hey ... it useless! in I.T. freezer solve all problems ... broken hard drives, borken mother board ( first cooked and then freezed ), broken graghical boarrd, old laptop batteries ...
[16:12] <MonkeyDust> !pt| alvesjnr
[16:12] <kai__> It's good to keep your very improtant stuffs in cloud stroage like dropbox (and dare i say it MIcrosoft Skydrive), Also keeping a manual and auto backup is good
[16:12] <NewWorld> Lebby11:  lol, how do you cook components?
[16:13] <alvesjnr> MonkeyDust, did it. Tks
[16:13] <Lebby11> NewWorld:  not me ... but i've read than you can "repair" some motherboard by cooking in oven ...
[16:13] <NewWorld> xD
[16:13] <kai__> BluesKaj Yea I'm not to worried about WD Drives, I think those were killed by a power surge by a failing power supply
[16:13] <ssta> only for a very small number of solder related faults...generally it's easier to bin it and replace
[16:14] <Lebby11> i think that are legends like freezer, yety, bigfoot, el chupacabra ... only that is I.T. legends ...
[16:14] <kai__> Story is BACKUP and when they fall REPLACE

[16:14] <Case_> Hello Everyone,  I am having trouble with Dell OMSA I was hoping someone could help.   After installing it, it seems to work, however if I try to do anything in sudo it says the commands are not found (They work outside of Sudo)
[16:15] <OMGUBUNTU> Sometimes google can;t help huh
[16:15] <BluesKaj> kai__, ahh  ok , that's how my mobo died I think , but the HDD survived .
[16:15] <Case_> OMGUBUNTU tried googleing extensively, nothing comes up of use.
[16:15] <OMGUBUNTU> Like i said, GOogle isnt always the greatest
[16:16] <Case_> "sudo: omreport: command not found "  Well I am nto sure about that
[16:16] <OMGUBUNTU> try "sudo apt-get update
[16:16] <Case_> Sometimes, you just don't know the question to ask the almighty oracles of google.
[16:16] <OMGUBUNTU> try sudo apt-get update
[16:16] <Case_> I have done that several times today OMG
[16:17] <Case_> works just fine
[16:17] <Case_> (Did it just now again)
[16:17] <OMGUBUNTU> Did i solve it?
[16:17] <Case_> It's still processing, I tried this earlier and it did not.
[16:17] <OMGUBUNTU> try something else say "sudo apt-get install dropbox"
[16:17] <Lebby11> Case_:  i don't understand your problem ... can you explain better?
[16:18] <ussaine> hoo
[16:18] <ussaine> salut a tous
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> !fr
[16:18] <OMGUBUNTU> Im quessing yout just having terminal problems
[16:18] <Case_> Lebby11, I installed Dell OMSA  today to update firmware and the BIOS
[16:18] <Case_> The commands such as omreport work when your a normal user.  If you are in Root they do not.
[16:18] <Case_> It says command not found
[16:18] <OMGUBUNTU> you install ubuntu ON a dell?
[16:18] <Case_> "sudo: omreport: command not found "
[16:18] <OMGUBUNTU> or dell omsa ON ubuntu
[16:19] <OMGUBUNTU> thats probly a no longer supported command
[16:19] <Case_> 12.04
[16:19] <OMGUBUNTU> yes yes im sure we're all using it
[16:19] <Case_> OMGUBUNTU it works outside of root
[16:19] <Guest93675> sudo help?
[16:20] <OMGUBUNTU> Well are you using root terminal? Such as on debian there is terminal and root terminal
[16:20] <Case_> It's server
[16:20] <Case_> so sudo su
[16:20] <Case_> or sudo (command)
[16:20] <OMGUBUNTU> ubuntu server 12.04?
[16:20] <Case_> Yes
[16:20] <Case_> Here
[16:20] <OMGUBUNTU> Well thats differnt to the desktop ubuntu i'd think
[16:20] <OMGUBUNTU> I haven't had much experience with ubuntu server
[16:21] <Case_> Server: omreport  omreport         Reports component properties.  Usage: omreport <command...>  [name=value...] ... [option...]  Valid command line options are:  -?               Print available commands. -outc <file>     Redirect output to file, delete old if exists.   OR -outa <file>     Redirect output to file, append to old if exists.   OR Output may also be redirected using Operating System facilities (e.g. |more). Server:~$ sudo
[16:21] <OMGUBUNTU> Why not bing it?
[16:21] <OMGUBUNTU> BING
[16:21] <zh> Case_: You might want to ask in #ubuntu-server as well
[16:21] <OMGUBUNTU> XD jks

[16:23] <OMGUBUNTU> Of particular note, the following operating systems have problems:
[16:23] <OMGUBUNTU> RHEL 4 Gold: Yum support in the up2date version delivered in RHEL4 Gold appears to be broken. Please update up2date to a later version
[16:23] <OMGUBUNTU> RHEL 3: RHEL3 has been unsupported by OMSA for several releases now. Additionally, this repository requires yum 2.4.x or higher. The available versions of yum for CentOS and RHEL 3 are not new enough to work. Specifically, they dont understand the 'mirrorlist' directive, nor do they have the plugin API necessary to set the system id.
[16:23] <OMGUBUNTU> Fedora: The community releases are officially unsupported in this repository. You can, however, fake it by editing the yum config and changing "fc" to "el5". This is completely unsupported. If it breaks you can keep all the pieces.

[16:34] <jiffe98> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a new server and it seems to lock up right after I choose to install ubuntu, if I take my LSI 9240 raid card out it continues past that point though
[16:35] <sorrymyeng> hello, Im want to run pdf-viewer from console, what is the name of default ubuntu 12.04 pdf-viewer? in 'About' it says as is 'Document Viewer'
[16:36] <lazarus_> is there any way to make ubuntu re run the hardware detection
[16:37] <zh> sorrymyeng: I believe it's `evince`
[16:37] <gvo> sorrymyeng: I think zh is right
[16:37] <lazarus_> because i took the HDD out of one pc and put it in another most things work but not all
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> sorrymyeng  yes, that's the name of the program, it seems
[16:38] <NewWorld> lazarus_:  doesn't it do it every time on boot?
[16:38] <NewWorld> i mean h/w detection
[16:38] <sorrymyeng> zh: thanks, you are right, but how did you know that?
[16:39] <zh> sorrymyeng: I didn't, but I went to "Main Menu" and found "Document Viewer," then click the properties button.
[16:39] <Quakky> Hi, quick question. I need to format my drive, but I would like to split my hard drive into 2 different paritions so I can put some data I don't want erased on the new partition. What do I use to split the drive?
[16:39] <zh> s/click/clicked
[16:39] <gvo> sorrymyeng: In the about box there is a link to www.gnome.projects/evince
[16:40] <gvo> Quakky: Is this a new drive or one you are running from?
[16:40] <lazarus_> the touchscreen on my laptop isnt working
[16:40] <Quakky> gvo: running from.
[16:41] <sorrymyeng> gvo: haaa did not notive that!
[16:41] <gvo> Quakky: Gparted is one way.  It's a gui that will let you resize a partition, thus freeing up space.
[16:41] <gvo> Quakky: Be sure to back anything important up.
[16:41] <sorrymyeng> zh: where is the properties button?o_O Im in unuty
[16:41] <lazarus_> i think i have all the required packages installed
[16:41] <sorrymyeng> *unity
[16:42] <gvo> Quakky: And for safety's sake I would do it from a live cd/dvd.  There is a gparted cd you can burn.
[16:43] <gvo> Quakky: To me, it's iffy to do it to a live partition.
[16:43] <Quakky> gvo: so it's not as simple as doing it on windows, I see
[16:43] <NewWorld> gvo:  Quakky: If you unmount the drive you can partition safely
[16:43] <gvo> NewWorld: If it's his root drive I don't think he can umount it
[16:44] <NewWorld> gvo:  he said he wants to format the drive, so I assumed it's not his root
[16:44] <gvo> It's the drive he's running from he said.
[16:44] <Quakky> NewWorld: Format the drive and install a new version of linux
[16:45] <gvo> Quakky:  OK I stand corrected
[16:45] <NewWorld> Quakky:  If you're installing Ubuntu, iirc a part of the install process is partitioning. So just do it from there
[16:45] <gvo> Quakky: during the install select the "other" or "manual" partitioning scheme.
[16:45] <gvo> I forget the exact wording.
[16:45] <zh> sorrymyeng: I'm using gnome-shell, not sure if it's different. Here's an image of the dialog box I'm looking at, properties is on the right, second to last button. http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Configuring_the_Ubuntu_Desktop_Menu_System
[16:46] <roasted_> Hello! I'm trying to get DHCP to auto start on Ubuntu (dhcp server that is). It's not auto starting... I have to manually issue sudo service isc-dhcp-server start each time. Is there a way to work around this BESIDES the gui "startup applications"?? I want it to run automatically as a startup service/daemon without needing to log in, etc.
[16:46] <Quakky> NewWorld: correct, but the other part is it will format all the drive thus losing my data, hense why I want to back it up on seperate partition before I start the install process
[16:47] <gvo> Quakky: Then you need to do that from a live cd.
[16:47] <roasted_> gah - lost connection. anybody have any idea on the DHCP issue?
[16:47] <gvo> Quakky: The gparted cd would be a good choice but many of the other live cds out there have gparted on them.
[16:48] <Quakky> gvo: Gotcha :). I'll keep in mind next time to allocate a certain space for data I don't want to lose. I might have a Live CD sitting somewhere. Thanks a lot
[16:49] <gvo> Quakky: I usually have a separate /home directory I don't reformat when installing new OS.
[16:49] <NewWorld> roasted_:  It's not a secure workaround, nor is it the best way (I'm sure there's a proper way to add services on startup in Ubuntu), but you can whitelist programs from asking root password in /etc/sudoers (use `sudo visudo`)
[16:50] <sorrymyeng> zh: "To customize a menu, right click over the menu name in the panel and select Edit menu" - if i right-click on unity item - it opens like it was left click
[16:50] <ssta> roasted_: /etc/rc.local is run at every boot (as root).  You can start stuff up in that
[16:51] <roasted_> NewWorld, ehh, I'd hate to do that. I did a 10-12 upgrade and now it wont auto start, whcih is what makes me wonder what happened.
[16:51] <roasted_> ssta, is that to say I can simply put the command in /etc/rc.local and that's it? even without sudo?
[16:51] <ssta> roasted_: yep
[16:51] <ckap> I hate to butt in, but I desperately need to know if Wubi overwrites the Windows install
[16:51] <ssta> roasted_: make sure the command returns though...
[16:51] <roasted_> ssta, not to sound like a total idiot, but how do you mean?
[16:51] <gvo> roasted_: You should be able to enable upstart to run it.  CHeck the upstart documentation.
[16:52] <ssta> roasted_: I dunno how that dhcp daemon runs, but often there's a "start in background" option or something that you need to add.
[16:52] <sorrymyeng> also, guys, how to install `tlmgr` (http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/tlmgr.html) - TeX Live manager?
[16:52] <gvo> ckap:  It rewrites the boot record but does not touch the windows system.
[16:52] <ssta> roasted_: the "right" way is to create an upstart script, rc.local is a quick and dirty solution
[16:52] <ckap> gvo: Thanks a million!
[16:52] <sorrymyeng> i need it for install new LaTeX modulers

[16:53] <GirlyGirl> Hi I am trying to do screen panning via xrandr, it works but the mouse is constrained by invisble boundaries of the native resolution .. the exact problem here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=118999  Please help as this issue is there for a long time and is really annoying.

[16:53] <Ryoshia> I'm having an issue with Ubuntu not recognizing my Laptop's Screen
[16:53] <roasted_> ssta, I see. I'm not familiar with upstart... I'll have to look further into it.
[16:54] <Ryoshia> it's saying Fatal: Couldn't Open Display and No Display variable set..
[16:54] <Ryoshia> I would copy and paste the terminal's code and such, but I can't even get to the GUI
[16:55] <gvo> Ryoshia: At what point are you getting this message?
[16:55] <Ryoshia> after boot up..
[16:55] <gvo> Do you get the terminal prompt?
[16:55] <Ryoshia> Ubuntu will not boot up to the gui it boots to the Terminall..
[16:55] <Ryoshia> so I type StartX to go to the GUI
[16:56] <Ryoshia> and I got No Display Variable Set..
[16:56] <Squall5668> Ryoshia: try "start lightdm"
[16:56] <Ryoshia> I did that and got the Fatal: Couldn't Open Display
[16:57] <GirlyGirl> Ryoshia: Which graphic card ... identify it with "lspci"
[16:57] <gvo> Ryoshia: Look in the .xession-errors file and see if anything pops up.
[16:57] <Ryoshia> I also tried Sudo GDM and Sudo Lightdm
[16:57] <gvo> Ryoshia: ALso "dmesg | more" and look for possible errors.
[16:57] <Ryoshia> Nvidia GTX 360M
[16:58] <GirlyGirl> Ryoshia: Switchable graphics ?
[16:58] <Ryoshia> no
[16:58] <GirlyGirl> aka optimus
[16:58] <GirlyGirl> Is this with nouveau or nvidia drivers
[16:59] <Ryoshia> Nvidia Drivers it told me upon completion of the Installation, after rebooting to update and I went to look for drivers and the proprietary drivers were found
[17:00] <NewWorld> Ryoshia:  If it's complaining about the DISPLAY variable, what happens when you try `DISPLAY=:0.0 && startx`?
[17:01] <Slender> Hey
[17:01] <Ryoshia> not sure haven't tried it like that
[17:01] <gvo> Ryoshia: boot with a nomodeset added to the command line and if you get to a gui, reinstall the nvidia drivers.
[17:01] <gvo> "kernel " command line.
[17:02] <Ryoshia> the funny thing though is when I got done with the installation.. instead of using the User Name I chose it used my computer's windows name
[17:02] <DannyKB30> Hi
[17:03] <Ryoshia> which makes me think it might be something with the installation too not just the video drivers..
[17:03] <Mr_Kaizer> Hmm, I think my internet speed has become a bit more unstable since I upgraded from 11.10 :/
[17:04] <Mr_Kaizer> Never had to wait for youtube vids to load in 11.10
[17:04] <Ryoshia> so instead of using Ryoshia and password.. it used Kendra's Side and no password, and when I went to try and login using the Kendra's side and No Password it told me that it was invalid, but that couldn't be the case because didn't mess with the user stuff

[17:28] <ishan> couldnt connect it
[17:28] <Gnea> gvo: Okay, back.  I tried the empty line in both ~/.subversion/config and /etc/subversion/config and it still insists on gnome-keyring
[17:28] <gvo> ishan: then it may be broke
[17:28] <ishan> actually its not.
[17:28] <ishan> intitially it was detecting
[17:28] <ishan> have tried on windows
[17:29] <gvo> gnea: That's strange.  I don't know what to say.
[17:29] <ishan> then i read somewhere to do some changes in wvdial

[17:29] <ishan> could you suggest me some place i can get some help
[17:29] <ishan> ?
[17:29] <Gnea> gvo: I'm going to guess that the package maintainer hardcoded it in, which is wrong in my book
[17:30] <krozzbeatz> hi

[17:31] <OerHeks> ishan, maybe this page is any help >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei/
[17:31] <mneptok> ishan: undo what you did with wvdial. test it in a Live session.
[17:31] <ishan> alright man...
[17:31] <ishan> thanks for the help
[17:31] <krozzbeatz> anybody familiar with ubuntu studio audio interface issue?
[17:32] <Gnea> gvo: yeah, but I shouldn't HAVE to recompile it.
[17:33] <gvo> gnea: do a apt-cache policy subversion and find out what version you have and where it came from.
[17:34] <Gnea> gvo: I already did that to gnome-keyring, found a forum thread that suggests removing it is the only solution.  since I don't use the standard ubuntu desktop (I use E17), this shouldn't have a major impact.  I will check svn dependencies when it's done.

[17:34] <gvo> gnea: whatever
[17:34] <somit> I have a dell vostro 3550 sound not working any help?
[17:34] <somit> ubuntu 10.10
[17:35] <Gnea> gvo: iacon% apt-cache rdepends subversion | wc -l
[17:35] <Gnea> 68
[17:36] <gvo> gnea: means nothing to me.
[17:36] <Gnea> gvo: 66 dependencies
[17:36] <Radiarc> I've got a Dell vostro 1400, but one of the two headphones jacks is broken; the other one puts out sound through both the headphones and the built-in speakers
[17:36] <Gnea> gvo: wc == wordcount
[17:36] <Gnea> great, I removed it and now... p11-kit: couldn't load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[17:37] <test9994> Hmmmm... Pidgin won't connect to the ubuntu or freenode servers. Think it's an issue with my router/firewall? I'm currently using web-based interface.
[17:39] <gvo> gnea: You're running a strange version of svn.
[17:39] <Gnea> gvo: Version: 1.6.17dfsg-3ubuntu3
[17:40] <Gnea> gvo: it's straight out of 12.04
[17:40] <gvo> Where did it come from?
[17:41] <Gnea> gvo: the standard 12.04 repositories
[17:42] <samster34> L3top: yoes, sorry I left yesterday, it seemed like you were busy
[17:42] <beygi> i have some pattern in a file like this : {add} , {remove} and some files : add.txt , remove.txt which is the best solution for replacing patterns with file content (shell script)?
[17:42] <gvo> Gnea: If you've have run the apt-cache command I'd know exactly...  Anyway temporarily mv the .subversion directory somewhere and try it again.
[17:42] <NewNNux> Hi... Installing 12.04 (my first attempt at Linux) and I'm having some trouble... Is anyone available for a little help please?
[17:43] <L3top> Yes I was spread a bit too thin samster34... and as you went to reinstall I went away to have dinner and be yelled at by my wife. I am a little tied up atm as well. If you are around this evening I will be free.
[17:44] <zh> !ask | NewNNux
[17:44] <samster34> L3top: what time is it where you are now?
[17:45] <test9994> How do I get it to stop telling me who has joined/quit? lol
[17:45] <L3top> 1:44pm samster34. I should be free between 5 and 6. In the meantime I will generate an xorg.conf when I get a few minutes.
[17:45] <L3top> depends on your irc client test9994
[17:46] <Pici> test9994: Your previous question may be better for #freenode, as the Ubuntu and freenode servers are in fact, the same irc network.  You may be getting an error that pidgin is not displaying that is preventing you from connecting.
[17:46] <samster34> L3top: thanks, see you later then :)
[17:46] <NewNNux> Ok... My installation process is blocked at the 'preparing libgoa 1.0', and it's been one hour now... Should I start over or wait? Thanks!
[17:48] <gvo> NewNNux: Unless you're running on a 286, I suspect you're stuck. Try again.
[17:48] <NewNNux> Ok Thank you gvo! i'm gonna start over! buy
[17:50] <Kruptein> Hi sometimes if I try to maximize a window by either clicking the symbol or by dragging it to the top of the screen it gets maximized to the wrong screen (dual screen setup) this is only sometimes and can happen to some programs at the same time others don't have this problem.    ubuntu 12.04 + unity btw.  Someone an idea?
[17:51] <thrillERboy> Hi, If I want to connect to my buddy's ubuntu via remote desktop, what should I do?
[17:52] <thrillERboy> I want to connect to another ubuntu machine over Internet (not local network) via remote desktop. What should I do? Mine is ubuntu machine too.
[17:52] <NewWorld> thrillERboy:  Search for a guide. there are dozens, i'm sure
[17:52] <Benkinooby> hi, my hardware clock is ok but my system time wanders off all the time (by random margins). i was advised to use cron to reset the time periodically but that's a rather nasty fix. any idea what makes my system time go bonkers?
[17:52] <CharlieSu> Anyone know why I'd be getting this NMBD erorr?  https://gist.github.com/dfd579a2a6fcd80fb3b3
[17:53] <gvo> Benkinooby: weak cmos battery?
[17:53] <Benkinooby> gvo, as i said, my hardware clock is alright
[17:54] <Benkinooby> gvo, my hardware clock is my bios clock... it goes as it should. but my system time is gone mad
[17:54] <Gnea> gvo: no dice
[17:54] <gvo> Benkinooby: OK Sound like the system is missing/gaining cpu cycles.
[17:55] <gvo> Gnea: OK maybe it's got something to do with the repository?  Svn works fine for me without attempting a ring access.
[17:55] <Benkinooby> gvo, i read about some kind of adjust functions, which compare the difference between hardware and system clock and then adjust them. but i did not fully understand if that is the cause or if that function is even active
[17:55] <gvo> Benkinooby: It shouldn't vary in any case.
[17:55] <ozozo> i'm having trouble with the wifi of another computer; after upgrading every thing, it looks like i can't use the wifi anymore (kubuntu 12.04) i can't enable it on my network manager
[17:56] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: does it occur after you sync sys to hardware clock?
[17:56] <gvo> ozozo Broadcom chip by any chance?
[17:56] <Benkinooby> gvo, SolarisBoy i am resetting the system time several times a day with "sudo hwclock -s"
[17:56] <ozozo> gvo: how can i know?
[17:57] <gvo> ozozo sudo lspci
[17:57] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, gvo all i want is the system time to stick to the hw-clock
[17:57] <L3top> ozozo: lspci | grep -Ei '(wlan|wireless)'    might be a bit quicker.
[17:57] <SolarisBoy> you may want -w Benkinooby
[17:57] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, gvo sadly i can't really fix the first occurance of that problem
[17:57] <gvo> L3top: Thanks
[17:58] <SolarisBoy> meh nevermind Benkinooby confusled myself
[17:58] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, why that? the hw-clock is the good one - the system clock is bad
[17:58] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: ^^ last reply
[17:58] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: anything in the logs indicative of CPU or other hardware errors? stack traces etc?
[17:59] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, how can i find out?
[17:59] <Womkes> Anybody here that uses Skype for Ubuntu. When I open a chat window it is completely maximized on my screen. I see no minimize or resize buttons and I have to alt tab to get to another screen
[17:59] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, let me paste demsg, messages and syslog, ok?
[17:59] <Womkes> anybody know how I can resize my skype chat window?
[17:59] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: sure - im at work ill take a glance though
[17:59] <gvo> Gnea: That's a long shot,however but I'm grasping at straws here.

[18:02] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: yep thats how i started searching for time.. i don't see anything that jumps out me.. yet.
[18:02] <SolarisBoy> also only checked dmesg file so far.

[18:05] <ozozo> gvo: i'm on kde, it's a network management widget if i understand correctly
[18:05] <gvo> So when you click on the widget does it show the wireless not connected?
[18:05] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i think that the following happened: ubuntu seems to use a trick mechanism, which causes the sys-clock and the hw-clock to correct each other my measuring the margin of their difference. by manually editing on of these times, i might have brought that mechanism out of balance. now, the clocks are assuming that my manual interference set them right (which is not true) and they use the change i did to them as a reference for furth
[18:05] <Benkinooby> er automated changes
[18:06] <ubuhelp2012> hello, i recently installed wubi 12.04 on my windows 7 machine and for some reason one of my hard-drives is not showing up, can someone help?

[18:06] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: whats your kernel version?

[18:07] <Benkinooby> sorry for spam
[18:08] <trism> djzn_: interesting, have to look at the mate code and see what they (or gnome2) did differently
[18:08] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: what release of ubuntu? im seeing talks that this is addressed in a kernel update
[18:08] <pheonixash> pmdz: not sure then
[18:08] <L3top> ozozo: sorry, what type of machine is this?
[18:08] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: im not aware of ubuntu's method of syncing hw to sys clock
[18:08] <djzn_> trism: it's basically the same code, because I get this same behaviour on debian
[18:08] <ozozo> L3top: a Toshiba Satellite
[18:09] <djzn_> trism: there is something from GTK3 or something else bringing in to the issue

[18:11] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, 'man hwclock' look for 'NOTES'
[18:11] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: lol ok
[18:11] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, this part explains the idea behind the clocks and how they work and interfer
[18:11] <trism> djzn_: I dropped all the patches on the quantal gtk3 package and still had the problem, so I'm still trying to narrow down where to look
[18:11] <L3top> ozozo: take a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1973863
[18:11] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: thanks - i was looking for a good read today also =)
[18:11] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, might be that i am "overinterpreting" all this
[18:11] <L3top> gvo: I was thinking of blacklisting it till I realized it wasnt an acer... lol
[18:11] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, sorry
[18:12] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: possible =) why sorry? no worries Benkinooby
[18:12] <ubuhelp2012> can someone help??

[18:12] <SolarisBoy> its noted a few times there that the error is fixed in a later kernel version
[18:13] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  In terminal find it with `fdisk -l` then use `mount` to mount it
[18:14] <ozozo> i'll do -f instead =)
[18:14] <djzn_> trism: notice that this setup didn't have anything, just a bare system.... X11 and MATE.... it didn't have compiz either.... could compiz make some influence over any DE running from LightDM ?
[18:14] <gvo> ozozo: I suspect the author meant modprobe -r
[18:15] <trism> djzn_: I wouldn't think so, it isn't even running in the metacity session and I see it there too
[18:15] <L3top> ozozo: I think that is supposed to recursively unload modules tied to it
[18:15] <ozozo> gvo: :( don't know what any of that mean, i think i shouldn't have done rmmod -r, now i can't wlan0 up; how can i fix that?
[18:15] <gvo> sudo modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt=1
[18:15] <ubuhelp2012> Newworld: http://pastebin.com/8NEhE7zD doesn't seem to want to mount, any ideas?
[18:16] <L3top> ozozo: it has removed the module stack. They will need to be reloaded afaict
[18:16] <ozozo> L3top: i reboot my computer?
[18:16] <djzn_> trism: you said metacity?
[18:17] <djzn_> trism: MATE runs on 'marco'...
[18:17] <L3top> did you do the third line ozozo? sudo modprobe ath5k nohwcrypt=1
[18:17] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, ok, the problem seems similar
[18:17] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  For the mount command you have to give it a mount point (generally somewhere in /media )
[18:17] <dante123> hi all, having issues bringing up wired network on sons computer...it is a long story...wont go into unecessary details about uninstalling network manager and trying wicd for wireless....anyway....now going wired with nm-applet reinstalled....no connection at this point
[18:17] <trism> djzn_: oh oh, never mind I may be wrong, I just purged compiz on my quantal box and mouse is working fine (it removed unity and compiz so the bug seems to be there)
[18:17] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, but i am not sure if i can relate it to my problem in a usefull way... reading on...
[18:17] <dante123> need help with command line to get the network back up
[18:17] <dante123> pretty please
[18:17] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: agreed
[18:18] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: what do you mean?? what would mine be..  did you check pastebin?
[18:18] <SolarisBoy> i don't see a linking of time resetting to the issue - but I do know that APIC issues can definately affect time on your box - is the closest i have so far =)
[18:18] <dante123> ifconfig shows eth2 and lo
[18:18] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, also i think that my problem is a config problem
[18:18] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  yeah I did. `man mount` and you will see what parameters the command requires
[18:18] <dante123> but eth2 is not up and runnings
[18:18] <dante123> how to get it going via command line please
[18:19] <gvo> dante123: iwconfig -a ?
[18:19] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: what did you configure that ruins your time? is the best question i guess - hwclock is a binary non daemon and other than that you can set time manually or use something like ntp..
[18:19] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: so what did you do to persistently disrupt time?
[18:19] <dante123> no such device gvo
[18:19] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i have to admit that my ACPI might be not at it's best (my accu is very very weak - might be that it seens some wrong signals) but so far i found out that i don't  have to worry baout my hw-clock
[18:19] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: sorry im abit new.. :( dont really understand it..
[18:19] <dante123> we are going wired at this point with wireless card removed
[18:20] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i tried to figure that out too
[18:20] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: you don't have to worry about it because you don't have any time sensitive operations occuring or something?
[18:20] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: there may be some kernel settings you can add to your grub line to help - not sure which ones though
[18:20] <gvo> dante123: Hard to troubleshoot the problem with the card removed.
[18:20] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, the problem was not there all the time
[18:21] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: when did it start?
[18:21] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  In terminal, run `man mount` it will teach you how to use the "mount" command. In your pastebin mount command you didn't specify a mount point
[18:21] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i'd say within the last 30 days... that i noticed it
[18:21] <dante123> gvo, you dont understand....I dont want to use wireless anymore....I want a wired connection now....but cant get it up (that's what she said ;-)
[18:21] <NewWorld> haha
[18:22] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, after i read the man hwclock
[18:22] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: it didnt say a mount point in the fdisk -l  thing tho
[18:22] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, the line that speaks about using "date" during run time is a bad idea caught my attention
[18:23] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy,  It is important that the System Time not have any discontinuities such as would happen if you used the date(1L) program to set it while the system is running.
[18:23] <dougl> I did a sudo apt-get purge cups and sudo apt-get install cups to try to resolve a printing issue and now I cannot print to my samba printers on my xp machine - any thots?
[18:23] <trism> djzn_: hmm, I actually changed a bunch of things on this box today, and even reinstalling them, it still works, so I fixed it somehow without trying today, I'll need to reinstall and try again
[18:24] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  my friend, if you can't understand `man mount` you can google "how to mount a hard drive linux" it will show you step by step.
[18:24] <dougl> depending where I try to print a test page from I get the error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-found'. in kde setting manager and file not found in my http://localhost:631/

[18:26] <dougl> How do I completely remove cups and all it's configs and other 'fluff' and reinstall it with all it's default values?
[18:26] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i thought about asking in the #debian channel as there are probably more server admin guy who know about time issues...
[18:26] <L3top> dougl: I would expect sudo apt-get remove --purge cups
[18:26] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: well i did try google already, reason why i came here was to get some direct help to get where i need to be, not so much be handed off
[18:27] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, but usually they are (understandably) annoyed when a ubuntu-problem is brought up to them
[18:27] <L3top> dougl: and then of course sudo apt-get install cups
[18:27] <ozozo> L3top: it says impossible because of RF-kill when i try to write your command and then sudo ifconfig wlan0 up :( (SIOCSIFFLAGS)
[18:27] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: figured you would have just gave me commands to do so via pastebins etc. so theres no confusion
[18:27] <dougl> L3top, will try
[18:27] <trism> djzn_: I had switched to lightdm-kde-greeter earlier, to see if kde had the bug too (but couldn't figure out how to change the cursor size), it seems that lightdm-kde-greeter is the reason it was working (switched back to unity-greeter and the bug is back)
[18:27] <kartlos> I want to use xmonad with 12.04, now I want to install dwm-tools so that I can use dmenu, but apt-get tells me the package has no installation candidate, anyone know whats wrong?
[18:28] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: says must specify filesystem type???? im lost
[18:28] <arrrghhh> hello I just installed 12.04, and 'gnome-settings-daemon' is taking a lot of CPU.  i kill it, and it settles for a bit... then comes back after 10 minutes or so.  what is this process?  why is it hogging all my CPU cycles?
[18:28] <L3top> ozozo: please paste the exact error
[18:29] <ozozo> L3top: it's in french i try to translate: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation impossible due to RF-kill
[18:29] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: http://pastebin.com/pm37TXrq thats where im at now
[18:29] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  You're not putting any effort into solving the problem. I told you `man mount`. In the manpage on the 1st page it says "The standard form of the mount command, is      mount -t type device dir" How can you miss that?
[18:29] <ozozo> (in french: Opération impossible du fait de RF-kill)
[18:29] <L3top> ah... thanks ozozo... pasting the EXACT error would have been a problem... lol
[18:29] <L3top> not so bad really.
[18:30] <kartlos> nobody knows what happened to the dwm-tools package?
[18:30] <L3top> ozozo: I am not really sure... rebooting will get you back to where you were... I believe this is why the -r tag was probably there.
[18:30] <ozozo> i tried rebooting it didn't help
[18:31] <Pici> kartlos: It was removed before maverick came out, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dwm-tools/+publishinghistory
[18:31] <trism> djzn_: and switching to gdm the cursor resizing works as well
[18:31] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  OK so it tells you to use the '-t' option. In the man page you scroll down to where it describes '-t' and read))
[18:31] <trism> djzn_: odd
[18:32] <kartlos> Pici: thank you! do you know why it was removed? and how can I install dmenu for xmonad instead?
[18:32] <L3top> ozozo: didnt help what? You cannot modprobe until you bring wlan0 down and unload the modules... if you ahve rebooted then the modules were reloaded.. and you should be back to square 1
[18:32] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: i'd really say look at kernel updates and your hardware
[18:32] <SolarisBoy> not only is the ACPI error it is also indicating something related to the battery
[18:32] <ozozo> L3top: ok let me try agian
[18:32] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: but yes debian guys will be like that for the #ubuntu questions.. naturally
[18:33] <L3top> ozozo: dont use the -f or the -r switch ozozo.
[18:33] <ozozo> L3top: yes but it's too late now, i don't know how to repair that
[18:33] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i think this one might be more helpful for me http://askubuntu.com/questions/138916/why-is-ubuntus-clock-getting-slower-or-faster
[18:34] <L3top> ozozo: these changes are not persistent. Rebooting will always bring you back to square 1.
[18:34] <ubuhelp2012> newworld: http://pastebin.com/tDDJiHMS
[18:34] <ozozo> L3top: i still can't do "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up"
[18:34] <ozozo> same error
[18:35] <ozozo> L3top: sudo rfkill list tells me: Soft blocked: no; Hard blocked: yes
[18:35] <dougl> after purging cups and reinstalling I get the error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-found' trying to print to my samba shared (win xp) printer - any suggestions?
[18:36] <NewWorld> ohboy
[18:36] <ozozo> L3top: don't know why it's hardblocked :/
[18:37] <BluesKaj> splittsville!
[18:37] <ozozo> WOW
[18:37] <ozozo> just found a wifi switch on my keyboard
[18:37] <NewWorld> ubuhelp2012:  you need to give -t a parameter ...... like the man page said. Did you even read the manpage?
[18:37] <Pici> !netsplot
[18:37] <Pici> !netsplit
[18:37] <thrillER1oy> shall I use remmina to connect to other ubuntu, whose desktop sharing is enabled?
[18:38] <KoHaku> Good lordy! .-.
[18:39] <gvo> dante123: Stick this in /etc/network/interfaces (add to what's there) http://paste.ubuntu.com/1127567/
[18:39] <dante123> should I use eth2 since that is what shows up in ifconfig
[18:39] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, ok, i found out that i have ntp and ntpdate installed... maybe they are interfering?
[18:40] <gvo> dante123: Yes sorry
[18:40] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: no
[18:40] <gvo> dante123: and restart the networking
[18:40] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i purged ntp
[18:40] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: maybe ntp is not correct but ntpdate and ntp dont conflict one is a daemon and the other a command that only runs when you run it
[18:41] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, ah ok... i because it say "if you have ntp you don't need ntpdate"
[18:41] <p0zh1e> hello
[18:41] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, ok... so in that case should i go for ntp again
[18:41] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: technically - but so many times the time servers crap out and you need ntpdate to reset the time properly..
[18:41] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, or maybe leave it aside for now
[18:41] <SolarisBoy> but OK..
[18:41] <dante123> using the sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart command?
[18:41] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: even better /etc/init.d/ntp stop would have sufficed =)
[18:41] <gvo> or the service command
[18:41] <wkhan113> How can I switch themes in 12.04. The minimise, close buttons are on the left hand side
[18:42] <dante123> its says reconfiguring.....but hasnt finished yet
[18:42] <gvo> dante123: As far as I can tell they do the same thing in 10.04
[18:42] <arrrghhh> anyone know why gnome-session-daemon is pegging my processor?!?!
[18:42] <arrrghhh> sorry gnome-settings-daemon
[18:42] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, don't know... maybe i'll leave it uninstalled and call it troubleshooting :D
[18:42] <p0zh1e> list
[18:42] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, btw i use a ubuntu 10.04 minimal install and fluxbox
[18:42] <dougl> after purging cups and reinstalling I get the error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-found' trying to print to my samba shared (win xp) printer - any suggestions?
[18:42] <dante123> okay now it finished and says nmbd start/running process 2741
[18:42] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, so there are hardly any gnome services up and running
[18:43] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: lols yea no need to put it back if you weren't really using it,, ntp is a smooth way of keeping time set... assuming you have inet access always or a local time stratum available on the lan
[18:43] <dante123> ifconfig shows same as before
[18:43] <dante123> server not found in browser still
[18:43] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, it's a laptop and i don't have constant internet connection
[18:43] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: ok - afaik ntp is the only thing that plays with time so i guess now set the time and see if it skews off by itself.. if it does you may have some h/w issues.. or kernel update may be needed
[18:43] <dante123> nm applet under edit connections....wired.....has nothing
[18:43] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, yeah, i think that's the way to go
[18:44] <wkhan113> How can I switch themes in 12.04. The minimise, close buttons are on the left hand side
[18:44] <p0zh1e> SV
[18:44] <gvo> dante123: OK time to reboot just for kicks.
[18:44] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, so far thank you for your interest and patience
[18:44] <dante123> could there be something we need to blacklist or change in some config file?
[18:45] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, can you recommend me a way to reset the system time... or should i stick with the hwclock -s
[18:45] <Benkinooby> ?
[18:45] <gvo> What model is the ethernet card?
[18:45] <dante123> rebooting
[18:45] <jiffe98> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a new server and it seems to lock up right after I choose to install ubuntu, if I take my LSI 9240 raid card out it continues past that point though and windows seems to install fine even with the raid card
[18:45] <dante123> gvo....not sure.....will lspci tell me?
[18:45] <gvo> Yes
[18:45] <dante123> ok hang on
[18:45] <VEndix> is there any tool that shows temperature measures that are in my pc?
[18:45] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: sure no problem =)
[18:46] <gvo> dante123: May be a speed or auto-negotiation issue too.
[18:47] <dante123> ethernet controller:  Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)
[18:47] <dante123> one difference now gvo....connection information no longer greyed out..
[18:47] <NewWorld> VEndix:  is there no info on that on google?
[18:48] <VEndix> NewWorld: i don't know
[18:48] <dante123> when selecting however it says Error Displaying connecton information:  No valid active connections found.
[18:48] <gvo> dante123: So what's it say?
[18:48] <NewWorld> VEndix:  you should always check google before asking here, fyi . good luck))
[18:48] <gvo> dante123: Maybe that's progress?
[18:48] <dante123> should we try doing the ifconfig stuff now
[18:48] <trism> djzn_: thought it only works in the unity-2d and gnome classic metacity sessions, so we may be dealing with multiple bugs (compiz + lightdm)
[18:48] <gvo> dante123: Sure
[18:49] <dante123> okay what is the command:  ifconfig eth2 up
[18:49] <trism> djzn_: oh gnome-shell works too
[18:49] <dante123> gvo not sure what command to run
[18:49] <gvo> Yes
[18:49] <djzn_> trism: what works in gshell
[18:49] <arrrghhh> anyone know why gnome-settings-daemon is pegging my processor?!?!
[18:50] <djzn_> trism: the cursor size is ok?
[18:50] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, i did 'sudo ntpdate 0.us.pool.ntp.org && sudo hwclock -w' in order to align my hw-clock to time servers
[18:50] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, forgt: both clocks are in line now
[18:50] <dante123> okay eth2 shows up but no address (other than hardware) gvo
[18:50] <SolarisBoy> sweet so you did use -w as you got the sys clock up to speed first
[18:51] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: nice work
[18:51] <gvo> dante123: lsmod | grep r81
[18:51] <dante123> also gvo is wired network is greyed out and so is device not managed underneath it....whereas before the reboot is said 'disconnected'
[18:51] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, now all i want is to keep this config :D
[18:51] <arrrghhh> anyone know why gnome-settings-daemon is pegging my processor?!?!
[18:51] <Benkinooby> SolarisBoy, ok, thank you again for your cooperation
[18:52] <SolarisBoy> Benkinooby: anytime
[18:52] <dante123> gvo it said r8169                     48022  0
[18:53] <trism> djzn_: yes, cursor resizing is working for me if I use lightdm-kde-greeter or gdm in everything but compiz/unity, but not working if I use unity-greeter/lightdm-gtk-greeter/lightdm-webkit-greeter
[18:54] <dante123> thoughts gvo?
[18:54] <djzn_> trism: i told you it had somethign to do with lightdm
[18:54] <gvo> dante123: try sudo insmod r8168
[18:56] <dante123> gvo rebooted again....then will try that command
[18:56] <trism> djzn_: indeed, seems you were right, now the question is what does the kde greeter/gdm do right while the others don't
[18:57] <dante123> no such file or directory
[18:57] <dante123> gvo
[18:58] <djzn_> trism: theme code
[18:58] <doodman_> Quick Question
[18:58] <gvo> So you don't have the r8168 module
[18:58] <dante123> i guess not
[18:58] <dante123> that the message it returned
[18:58] <anon4942948> i have no idea
[18:58] <anon4942948> where's the "all programs" button
[18:59] <doodman_> ??????
[18:59] <gvo> You can download it from Realtek put it on a usb stick load it on the system and recompile it.
[18:59] <BluesKaj> i thought the module was r8169,  dante123 , gvo
[18:59] <doodman_> i am having a wireless problem
[18:59] <bazhang> !wifi | doodman_ have a read
[18:59] <gvo> BluesKaj: There seems to be two.
[19:00] <anon4942948> 12.04 made my wireless driver standard :3
[19:00] <dante123> lsmod | grep r81 returns r8169
[19:00] <gvo> BluesKaj: dante123  http://aplawrence.com/Linux/rtl811.html seems to think it should be r8168
[19:00] <doodman_> i am having a problem with my internel laptop wireless
[19:00] <BluesKaj> gvo, the r8169 modprobe worked for a user a few days ago , wonder if he had the same wifi chip
[19:01] <gvo> Not wifi
[19:01] <gvo> BluesKaj: It's wired.
[19:01] <bazhang> doodman_, please have a read of the link I gave you
[19:01] <arrrghhh> anyone know why gnome-settings-daemon is pegging my processor?!?!
[19:01] <gvo> BluesKaj: According to dante123 that is.
[19:01] <BluesKaj> right , sorry < i'm mistaken about wifi , now I recall it was ethernet
[19:02] <doodman_> it won't connect it only will keep asking me my password and not connecting i am having to use a wireless usb stick witch dosent work very fast at all.
[19:02] <gvo> dante123: when all else fails, sudo modprobe -a
[19:02] <BluesKaj> sudo modprobe r8169 can't hurt
[19:02] <gvo> agreed
[19:03] <Niker> Hello
[19:04] <Niker> is aaaas_ here
[19:04] <jiffe98> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a new server and it seems to hang right after I choose to install ubuntu, even rescue broken system hangs, if I take my LSI 9240 raid card out it continues past that point though and windows seems to install fine even with the raid card, any idea what the problem might be?
[19:04] <dante123> gvo do you mean run sudo modprobe -a r8168
[19:05] <gvo> sudo modprobe r8169
[19:05] <dante123> then run insmod command??? gvo
[19:05] <Niker> i have a problem with my Xubuntu i think it is broken.
[19:05] <gvo> No just the modprobe
[19:06] <bazhang> !details | Niker
[19:06] <dante123> then what?
[19:06] <gvo> See if it works.
[19:06] <Niker> UBOTTU!
[19:06] <doodman_> go away Niker.
[19:06] <bazhang> Niker, give us some details
[19:06] <Niker> Nay
[19:07] <bazhang> doodman_, thats not helpful
[19:07] <doodman_> sorry
[19:07] <dante123> you mean by running network restart command?
[19:07] <gvo> dante123: Why not?
[19:07] <Niker> Ok i am Installing Windows xp
[19:08] <gvo> I assume the modprobe didn't give you any output.
[19:08] <dante123> actually it showed the interface with kernel 8169
[19:08] <bazhang> Niker, did you have an actual ubuntu support question
[19:08] <dante123> running restart now
[19:08] <gvo> dante123: OK
[19:08] <Niker> Hey do you want to play basketball
[19:09] <bazhang> !ot | Niker
[19:09] <dante123> it came back with OK
[19:09] <dante123> now what?
[19:09] <Niker> red letters are mean
[19:09] <gvo> dante123: Is it working?
[19:09] <bazhang> Niker, thats enough
[19:10] <dante123> no, but I think we need to bring network up manually through command line
[19:10] <Niker> Your letters are red
[19:10] <gvo> OK try it.
[19:11] <gvo> dante123:  restarting networking should have done it with the entries in interfaces, however
[19:11] <dante123> okay, here is the deal....when I run ifconfig -a
[19:11] <doodman_> Niker Thats ENOUGH
[19:11] <dante123> it shows eth2 and an eth2:avahi that does have inet addre
[19:11] <Niker> SHOOY  DOOY!
[19:12] <Niker> Bye
[19:12] <dante123> why is there eth2 and eth2:avahi there?
[19:12] <shing`> Is there a way for apt-get to ignore missing package errors when doing apt-get purge?
[19:12] <arrrghhh> anyone know why gnome-settings-daemon is pegging my processor?!?!
[19:13] <dante123> gvo?
[19:13] <gvo> dante123: Outside of my experience.
[19:13] <dante123> ok, well thanks for trying
[19:14] <arrrghhh> dante123, avahi is a zeroconf autodiscovery tool
[19:14] <arrrghhh> dante123, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_%28software%29
[19:15] <OerHeks> dante123, Avahi is a daemon (a service) which is responsible for several things, including attributing you an IP address when DHCP (automatic IP address from a DHCP server on the network) fails. The fact that eth2:avahi appears means that the system failed to get an IP on the eth2 interface
[19:15] <gvo> dante123: I have yet to figure out why you have a eth2 and no eth0 or 1.
[19:16] <arrrghhh> dante123, gvo - if that's the issue, i would guess he perhaps swapped motherboards or something...?
[19:16] <zykotick9> gvo: changes to MAC address most likely (hardware or manually)
[19:16] <arrrghhh> ah MAC updates would do it too ^^
[19:17] <TheFloatingBrain> Iv got a bit of a problem can someone help?
[19:17] <arrrghhh> TheFloatingBrain, don't ask to ask, just ask...
[19:17] <TheFloatingBrain> k
[19:17] <dante123> gvo, originally I had a wireless card in this pc...it was flaky as all getout....we tried running wicd instad of network-mangler....and then had to reinstall network mangler after wicd did not work anybetter....and somehow in all that....when I went back to wired it would not work.....but eventually did via command line stuff...but I cant remember how I did it ..and today it went down and cannot get it back up
[19:18] <TheFloatingBrain> Iv got an updater going, in ubuntu (I installed with Wubi), however the system is telling me there is not enough space left, I tried telling it to uninstall stuff, but the update has to complete first
[19:18] <TheFloatingBrain> what should I do?
[19:18] <arrrghhh> TheFloatingBrain, is there anything you can delete?
[19:19] <gvo> dante123: OK I've run out of ideas.
[19:19] <arrrghhh> or temporarily move
[19:19] <TheFloatingBrain> I bairly have any files in the first place
[19:19] <TheFloatingBrain> now it says
[19:19] <TheFloatingBrain> Replace your changes in '/etc/gnome/defaults.list' with a later version of the configuration file?
[19:19] <TheFloatingBrain> If you don't know why the file is there already, it is usually safe to replace it.
[19:19] <FloodBot1> TheFloatingBrain: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:19] <TheFloatingBrain> k, sorry
[19:19] <arrrghhh> TheFloatingBrain, that's just asking about updating that file.
[19:19] <dante123> thanks for effort gvo
[19:19] <djzn> trism: the bug is in compiz code I think
[19:19] <p3rtutt1> I've just developed a small web application, here's the link, I hope its good for someone, suggestions are welcome :) => http://hash.makemilk.net/
[19:19] <arrrghhh> TheFloatingBrain, usually it's OK to say yes to those, unless you know you've made customizations to that file.
[19:20] <TheFloatingBrain> alright I will say yes
[19:20] <bazhang> p3rtutt1, dont advertise here
[19:20] <p3rtutt1> sorry
[19:20] <dante123> i think last time i got it working with some kind of dhclient eth2 command or something
[19:20] <djzn> trism: i logged with gnome-panel / classic with effects, and it wouldn't resize, through GDM
[19:20] <p3rtutt1> I just thought it could be useful to someone
[19:20] <TheFloatingBrain> Is that the file in which Wubi restricted the disk space Ubuntu could use?
[19:20] <arrrghhh> TheFloatingBrain, nope.  that file exists on the Windows side of things.
[19:20] <djzn> trism: then I logged out and back with gnome-panel /classic NO EFFECTS, and it works.... (all I did was to set the 48 value in dconf-editor)
[19:20] <TheFloatingBrain> Ah I see
[19:21] <djzn> trism: so I think it's related to compiz, not the greeters
[19:21] <TheFloatingBrain> Is there a way I can tell ubuntu it is okay to use more disk space?
[19:21] <arrrghhh> TheFloatingBrain, sorry i've never used wubi... i don't know if you can expand the image after the fact.  i believe you have to specify when you first install/setup WUBI.
[19:22] <TheFloatingBrain> :-(
[19:22] <arrrghhh> let me google
[19:22] <trism> djzn: again, my thought is that there are two bugs here. compiz is definitely having issues, but the non-compiz sessions are having issues when using certain lightdm greeters (at least for me)
[19:22] <TheFloatingBrain> is this gunna overwrite something in windows
[19:22] <arrrghhh> TheFloatingBrain, oh no.
[19:22] <TheFloatingBrain> 0.0
[19:22] <TheFloatingBrain> What?
[19:22] <arrrghhh> TheFloatingBrain, it won't overwrite anything in windows.
[19:22] <TheFloatingBrain> Kewl :-)
[19:23] <djzn> trism: GDM + compiz = fail,   GDM without compiz = WORKS
[19:23] <arrrghhh> TheFloatingBrain, here's a guide on how to resize disks in WUBI --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ResizeandDuplicateWubiDisk
[19:23] <trism> djzn: yes exactly
[19:23] <TheFloatingBrain> Oh hey awsome
[19:24] <arrrghhh> djzn, don't use compiz, it is fail.  and pretty much dead.
[19:24] <TheFloatingBrain> thanks I tried to find somthing like this a while ago but could not.
[19:24] <TheFloatingBrain> :-D
[19:24] <arrrghhh> TheFloatingBrain, no worries ;)
[19:24] <djzn> arrrghhh, why do you say that....
[19:24] <trism> arrrghhh: since the default ubuntu session uses compiz, sort of an issue
[19:24] <bazhang> arrrghhh, compiz is not dead at all
[19:24] <arrrghhh> djzn, it's not actively developed?
[19:24] <arrrghhh> trijntje, wtf
[19:24] <arrrghhh> am i thinking of something else?  sorry.
[19:25] <arrrghhh> trism, sorry trijntje
[19:25] <djzn> arrrghhh, but why would canonical run unity on top of compiz if it's 'dead' ?
[19:25] <bazhang> djzn, its not dead at all
[19:25] <arrrghhh> djzn, ignore me, i must be thinking of something else.  apologies.
[19:25] <dante123> nm-applet has greyed out 'wired' and 'device not managed'.....any ideas what to do?
[19:26] <arrrghhh> compiz-fusion maybe?  sorry.
[19:26] <djzn> bazhang, that's what I am arguing...
[19:27] <dante123> okay gvo.....substituted a different cable...and suddenly it is working
[19:27] <arrrghhh> djzn, it's my fault.  misinformation from my end, again i apologize.
[19:27] <scientes> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[19:27] <scientes>  xubuntu-desktop : Depends: nvidia-common
[19:27] <scientes> WTF!
[19:27] <djzn> arrrghhh, you tried trolling, didn't you
[19:27] <Kroach> does anyone here use an ASUS K70IC?
[19:27] <arrrghhh> djzn, no... i genuinely thought that was the case.  it must've been compiz-fusion i got mixed up with.
[19:28] <arrrghhh> i'd like to think i can troll better than that.
[19:28] <arrrghhh> :P
[19:28] <djzn> arrrghhh, they are the same thing.... it's beryl that was something else... but nevermind...
[19:28] <arrrghhh> but seriously, does anyone know why gnome-session-daemon would peg my processor?
[19:28] <jiffe98> is there a way to get verbose information on the ubuntu install?  it is hanging right after I choose 'install ubuntu' from the main screen and I am trying to figure out why
[19:29] <dante123> gvo it is now working
[19:29] <arrrghhh> djzn, yes compiz-fusion is dead.  now part of compiz.  perhaps i was thinking beryl... sorry.
[19:29] <djzn> arrrghhh, enough...
[19:29] <djzn> LOL
[19:30] <Mathuin> I'm using precise pangolin and a couple of applications which try to use the entire screen (0 AD in particular) fail because the top panel won't go away.  How can I fix this?
[19:31] <Mathuin> It would be nice if the top panel could auto-hide.
[19:31] <smokie> hey guys, can anyone help me out on how to run a batch file on  reboot?
[19:32] <zosky> hey yall. i've almost got a home presence script working, help plz. i can send sendswake-on to everything when ubuntu-server finds me @home. i found a dbus command that works ( http://pastie.org/4385503 ), but i get "not autherized" when trying with SSH on the server. how to give my server uPower autherization to hibernate the desktop ?
[19:32] <OMGUBUNTU> startup programs
[19:32] <zykotick9> Mathuin: try the same program in unity2 (or something else that doesn't use compiz)
[19:32] <OMGUBUNTU> smokie go to startup programs
[19:32] <smokie> OMGUBUNTU, i mean in ubuntu server, forgot to mention that
[19:32] <OMGUBUNTU> smokie and browse to it, Should work
[19:32] <J3f> how to desactivate unity ?
[19:32] <J3f> i hate unity
[19:32] <OMGUBUNTU> install gnome-shell or something of that sort
[19:33] <bazhang> !notunity | J3f
[19:33] <OMGUBUNTU> and switch to it on the login screen
[19:33] <Mathuin> zykotick9: how do I do that?
[19:33] <OMGUBUNTU> "gnome-shell" j3f
[19:33] <Mathuin> Do I click the round icon to the right of the username after logging out, then select from a dropdown or something?
[19:33] <OMGUBUNTU> J3f just install gnome-shell and switch to it. Or kde whatever fits your boat
[19:33] <djzn> OMGUBUNTU, are you from the omg site?
[19:33] <OMGUBUNTU> ubuntu icon by your login
[19:34] <OMGUBUNTU> Omg!Ubuntu!
[19:34] <arrrghhh> does anyone know why gnome-session-daemon would peg my processor?
[19:34] <arrrghhh> it's constantly pegging it
[19:34] <J3f> i use 12.04 i need desactivate unity and install evant :D
[19:34] <OMGUBUNTU> xfce?
[19:34] <Vamadeus> install gnome from the software center then you can boot into gnome shell or gnome classic as OMGUBUNTU suggested.
[19:34] <J3f> how to install gnome-shell ?  apt-get install gnome-shell ?
[19:34] <Mathuin> how long will Gnome continue to be supported?
[19:35] <OMGUBUNTU> Also xfce is lightwhieght however Kde is another alternative but does take a bite of resources
[19:35] <OMGUBUNTU> Mathuin A long long itme
[19:35] <OMGUBUNTU> time
[19:35] <Mathuin> OMGUBUNTU: pleasing.  thank you.
[19:35] <Mathuin> I fear the Weyland.  Irrationally.
[19:35] <OMGUBUNTU> "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell"
[19:35] <scientes> mathieuq, quantal with have a gnome-shell spin CD
[19:35] <OMGUBUNTU> should do you well or look it up in the software center
[19:36] <OMGUBUNTU> #NamesIWouldNameMyChild Oops < I love twitter
[19:37] <arrrghhh> i guess i'll install xfce.  what a mess.
[19:38] <Mathuin> Giving it  a try!
[19:38] <imanc> on 12.04 how can i disable the password so i don't have to entrer it after the screen goes blank?
[19:39] <pb> you mean lock screen?
[19:39] <scientes> imanc, turn off "lock screen when screensaver is activated" in system settings
[19:39] <arooni-mobile> having trouble with sslcerts.  i have this error message when i run: openssl s_client -connect www.magicpresspass.com:443 ==> "depth=1 CN = OpenVPN Web CA 2012.01.15 16:11:48 PST li25-146; verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain"  how do i find and delete this cert?
[19:39] <pb> ^^ what he said
[19:39] <J3f> i can apt-get purge --remove unity ?
[19:39] <xangua> J3f: better not
[19:39] <J3f> uhmm k ty
[19:39] <bazhang> J3f, did you read the notunity info?
[19:40] <bazhang> arooni-mobile, how is that related to ubuntu support
[19:40] <imanc> scientes: fantastic - thanks
[19:40] <J3f> i can try desactiv in coompiz ?
[19:40] <OMGUBUNTU> imanc You can have auto login but you will still be promped for passwords
[19:40] <arooni-mobile> bazhang, i'm runnning ubuntu
[19:40] <xangua> J3f: that's why unity 2d is for
[19:40] <OMGUBUNTU> imanc Its security
[19:40] <imanc> OMGUBUNTU: yeh, i set auto login - but stsill found it wanted a pwd when re-awakening it.  Fine to enter the password when requiring sudo
[19:40] <J3f> i hate unity xd i like more evant
[19:41] <OMGUBUNTU> imanc You can disable locking of the screen when screen turns off
[19:41] <imanc> OMGUBUNTU: already done - thanks anyway
[19:42] <OMGUBUNTU> I mean I don't have auto login or any of that, I can type my password in under 3 seconds lol
[19:42] <OMGUBUNTU> I have a short one for my desktop
[19:42] <imanc> OMGUBUNTU: I have a pretty decnet fingerprint scanner, but it's still hassle
[19:43] <pb> idk what type of passwords you use but I can always type mine in uder 3 seconds.. less there like 15 characters
[19:43] <imanc> mine is 6
[19:43] <imanc> err 7
[19:43] <pb> oh yea? any caps or numbers?
[19:43] <imanc> all lower case
[19:43] <imanc> and i'm a fairly quick typist
[19:43] <imanc> but still, it's hassle
[19:43] <pb> ohh. whats the first letter?
[19:44] <imanc> h
[19:44] <pb> lol
[19:44] <bazhang> !ot
[19:45] <pb> it was relevant
[19:45] <imanc> i thought you were going to do a mentalism trick and guess it
[19:45] <bazhang> pb lets move on
[19:46] <imanc> can anyone think of any downsides to using gnome with 12.04?
[19:47] <ashka> not really, no
[19:48] <Joustin> When installing 12.04 can you change the default drive
[19:48] <imanc> ok, cool - i'm going back :)
[19:49] <Joustin> As in not installing on the primary?
[19:49] <pb> imanc:  its the users sole discression when choosing which Gui to use.  factors do need considering about what sort of graphics driver you're using vs the custom options available to you. but besides that, more about what you like the look/feel of.
[19:50] <ashka> Joustin: sure you can
[19:50] <Joustin> I didn't think it would be an issue, helping a new user via remote
[19:55] <belgianguy> err my WiFi led is flashing in 12.04 all of the sudden
[19:56] <belgianguy> what can I do to make it stop
[19:56] <samster34> L3top: whoa
[19:56] <samster34> L3top: I think I may have gotten it working
[19:56] <L3top> samster34: I would love a rundown in PM
[19:56] <belgianguy> (it usually was orange when not in use, and blue when in use)
[20:00] <belgianguy> nm El goog fixed it
[20:02] <lonnie> how do I get Ubuntu Server 12.04 to automount usb devices?
[20:02] <lonnie> desktop does this, but not server.
[20:05] <epinky> lonnie: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/automount.8.html
[20:07] <superjoe> can anyone explain this linker error? http://pastie.org/4385707
[20:07] <superjoe> seems to work fine on an older ubuntu box I have laying around
[20:08] <smokie> so no one here knows how to start a batch file on boot in ubuntu server 12.04?
[20:08] <bazhang> smokie, a .bat?
[20:09] <smokie> bazhang, a bash file, or .bat? im new to this so im up for some pointers if you got any
[20:09] <bazhang> smokie, bash and batch are quite different. explain exactly what you are trying to do
[20:10] <smokie> bazhang, a script that will run certain commands at startup
[20:10] <bazhang> smokie, what commands exactly. please be very clear.
[20:11] <smokie> bazhang, to automaticly add ipv6 ips from tunnel broker
[20:11] <lonnie> epinky looking now
[20:11] <drostie> smokie: /etc/rc.local et al.?
[20:12] <smokie> drostie, i dont know exactly what that means, im still not that savvy with ubuntu server
[20:13] <smokie> bazhang, im using HE tunnel broker to have ipv6, everytime the server reboots, i have to readd everything from the start
[20:13] <smokie> so i was thinking of adding a batch file that runs on startup to automatilcy add them
[20:13] <lonnie> I tried installing automout using :  sudo apt-get install automount   (no luck that way)
[20:13] <NewWorld> smokie: the commands in /etc/rc.local are executed when the computer boots up (before you even login), so you can put stuff there
[20:14] <drostie> smokie: there exists a filesystem which has certain directories. Directories are separated from other directories by forward slashes. The root directory of the entire filesystem is  /  . You may see its contents by typing `ls /` into a shell.
[20:14] <drostie> smokie: one of the directories which it contains is called `/etc` which hosts lots of config files.
[20:15] <drostie> smokie: one of those files is named `rc.local`, hence `/etc/rc.local`.
[20:15] <drostie> smokie: if you `cat /etc/rc.local` you will find that it says " This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel" which is probably what you want.
[20:16] <smokie> NewWorld, so what? i just add the location of my bash file there and it will automaticly executed?
[20:16] <smokie> drostie, if i understood you right, youre saying i should add the commands i want in that same file?
[20:17] <smokie> drostie, but wouldnt that get a bit messy with so many commands added?
[20:17] <NewWorld> smokie:  You can put the contents of the bash file into rc.local , or add to rc.local: /path/to/bash/file .
[20:17] <Adarc> hello guys, how do i change change my "default soundcard"in ubuntu 12.04? i do not find any option in system settings > audio (like set as standard, or drag them to the top), i would like to use my usb headset instead of internal speakers
[20:18] <Adarc> just installed ubuntu for the first time, sorry for that "noob question"
[20:18] <drostie> smokie: if you have a lot of files you should consider figuring out which runlevel you actually need and then you should look at the directories named by `ls -ld /etc/rc*.d`.
[20:19] <drostie> smokie: or, for that matter, check out `man service` so that you can invoke it the same way that you invoke native commands.
[20:20] <drostie> smokie: like if you have apache installed and you need to restart it you would usually `sudo service apache restart` or so.
[20:20] <caixa> anyone know if its possible to run aura de on ubuntu?
[20:21] <drostie> caixa: I'd help you with that but "aura de" is  ungooglable.
[20:21] <Adarc> nevermind, you just need to click the sound device and its standard, pretty weird if you used to "set as standard" or priority list things
[20:23] <smokie> drostie, alright, ill give that a try
[20:24] <RadSurfer> HEY! why does 'apt-get install xchat' FAIL as not found?
[20:24] <caixa> drostie, its the new desktop environment for chrome os
[20:25] <arrrghhh> RadSurfer, try xchat-gnome
[20:25] <bazhang> caixa, perhaps a PPA, its not supported here though
[20:25] <bazhang> RadSurfer, have you updated since installing
[20:25] <lonnie> Can anyone help me with this problem with USB on Server: http://serverfault.com/questions/414120/how-to-get-usb-devices-to-automount-in-ubuntu-12-04-server
[20:25] <RadSurfer> naturalled I did 'apt-get update'
[20:25] <bazhang> RadSurfer, please pastebin your sources.list
[20:26] <bazhang> !paste | RadSurfer
[20:31] <andrewx> DOES anyone know why I can not install ordinary Xchat? 'apt-get install xchat' should not fail? xchat-gnome is stupid
[20:31] <arrrghhh> lol
[20:31] <arrrghhh> i didn't realize it was different.
[20:31] <andrewx> seriously, whats going on here?
[20:32] <bazhang> andrewx, did you update? give us the sources.list please
[20:32] <bazhang> !pastebin | andrewx
[20:32] <andrewx> its whatever default repositories installer gives
[20:32] <bazhang> andrewx, pastebin please
[20:33] <thepumpkin> what run level do you recommend me to use if I want to execute a command after all the other upstarts have been booted?
[20:33] <bazhang> !runlevel | thepumpkin
[20:33] <wilee-nilee> andrewx, I have 12.04 xchat is installed stock, not gnome xchat
[20:34] <thepumpkin> bazhang: right, I'm creating a upstart .conf file and I want it to run a command when openssh server is loaded. any idea?
[20:34] <bazhang> wilee-nilee, it is?  I'm trying to batch convert text files using http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4544669/batch-convert-latin-1-files-to-utf-8-using-iconv , but I get "iconv: can't open outfile: File or folder doesn't exist". I run it from src folder. Anyone knows how to fix?
[20:48] <multifake> Does anybody know a possible cause for apt-get update to fail getting Packages despite IMHO correct sources.list? Ending up with 404. The mirror only contains Packages.gz as I figured. Why is apt-get only requesting uncompressed Packages?
[20:48] <bazhang> multifake, which version of ubuntu. please give us a clearer error message via pastebin if more than a line long
[20:49] <bazhang> !paste| multifake
[20:49] <ardian> I want to install kde should I use apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or kde-full ?
[20:50] <multifake> it's natty. one significant err line: W: Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
[20:51] <bazhang> multifake, does the error persist when trying other mirrors?
[20:51] <multifake> must say this is sort of a custom install. Yes persists with different mirror. None of them has "Packages".
[20:51] <RadSurfer> 12.04 is latest version? I should just get that I guess.
[20:52] <multifake> It's a Xen Dom0 under Debian squeeze, and running with a squeeze kernel for now
[20:52] <bazhang> multifake, debain? how is that related to ubuntu
[20:52] <brasidas> need to update /etc/network/interfaces file before networking starts,
[20:52] <brasidas> been down a long road of untangling upstart and init.d scripts but no success so far
[20:52] <bazhang> multifake, it's a hypervisor of ubuntu?
[20:53] <multifake> it's natty under squeeze
[20:53] <brasidas> any ideas?
[20:53] <multifake> made with xentools
[20:53] <bazhang> multifake, thats odd. the error should not happen regardless
[20:54] <multifake> I'm suspecting something is missing. It seems this is a very basic debootstrapped setup somehow. No tasksel ever run.
[20:55] <multifake> gzip is there though
[20:55] <multifake> (my first crude guess)
[20:58] <roninn> does anybody have heard about a problem that all the flash videos are blue, I just upgraded to the newest xubuntu and this happened
[20:59] <chuck_> good afternoon
[20:59] <zykotick9> roninn: right click a video, and disable hardware acceleration (in flash)
[21:01] <roninn> zykotick9, worked. what's wrong with the hardware acceleration :)
[21:01] <roninn> in new xubuntu
[21:01] <zykotick9> roninn: nvidia issue i believe
[21:02] <roninn> nvidia works as hard as possible to fuck up things with linux, right
[21:02] <L3top> nvidia/flash both point fingers at the other
[21:02] <roninn> :)
[21:02] <IdleOne> roninn: No cursing in here please
[21:02] <roninn> sorry
[21:03] <L3top> nvidia has the best support for linux of the bunch really roninn... that does not mean it is great support... but in contrast...
[21:04] <roninn> ok, good to know to favor nvidia in the future
[21:06] <j355> hello all
[21:06] <j355> i've been trying to set up a dial up connection in 12.04 and my modem isn't working at all.

[21:17] <Samanagh> Is there some way I can print out the manual/api for C/C++ commands within terminal
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> Samanagh: if you can export it to a text file, you can cover text to pdf then use lpr to print the pdf (not sure if lpr can print pure text)
[21:21] <sorrymyeng> Hello, how to install "Gnome Appearance" application?
[21:21] <Neytiri> i am having a problem with my ubuntu system, i cant get it to get to a gui, it jsut sits on a page that saus ubuntu
[21:23] <wilee-nilee> Neytiri, some histoty to that point is helpful.
[21:23] <wilee-nilee> history*
[21:23] <wilee-nilee> ie install live cd has it ever run..etc
[21:24] <Neytiri> its an installed system, i modified teh /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to change to 32bit color depth and it failed booting after that so i put it back to 24 and now it hangs at that screen
[21:26] <wilee-nilee> Neytiri, that is better I'm sure you will get some help, info is king here. ;) I gota get back to some studying
[21:29] <samster34> hi...how would I go about running a simple command (nvidia-settings -l) at startup/login/whatever ?
[21:29] <davis776> Hello, I have a problem... I cant install Ubuntu 12.04 - stuck at firs screen (Welcome - language choose)... Mouse is moving but cannot click and keyboard same - working but not reacting - both USB - tried PS/2 and problem is same
[21:30] <hypn0> xchat froze :-O first time
[21:30] <multifake> solved my problem. It's been a proxy setting copied from the host. Thanks for telling me what you think, bazhang
[21:31] <giga2> Hello when I try to start a program from Terminal I get a segmentation Fault 12-04 32bit
[21:31] <Neytiri> giga2: that sounds like a program bug
[21:32] <giga2> Neytiri: it only seems to happen on 32 bit 64 bit works has been tried on 3 different machines
[21:33] <samster34> I need to run one quick command everytime I login..how would I automate this?
[21:34] <epinky> do you use bash?
[21:35] <samster34> ?
[21:35] <samster34> occasionally
[21:36] <epinky> sorry I was thinking about other kind of auto login commands
[21:41] <epinky> samster34: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/how-to-add-a-program-to-the-ubuntu-startup-list-after-login/
[21:41] <jiffe98> I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on a new server and it seems to hang right after I choose to install ubuntu, even rescue broken system hangs, if I take my LSI 9240 raid card out it continues past that point though and windows seems to install fine even with the raid card, any idea what the problem might be?
[21:42] <Praxi> I don't appear to be able to resize windows on ubuntu 12.04 x64.  I grab a corner and drag, nothing happens.  The icon does change like its going to drag.
[21:45] <popsch> is there a simple application that lets you configure the sound? I need something for my beloved but computer-illiterate parents, who constantly complain that 'now the sound is not working again'. A simple GUI with two buttons: "Use Computer" and "Use Headset"
[21:46] <hydrox24> I would say "pavucontrol" it's not ultra simple, but you can just direct them toward the output tab.
[21:46] <popsch> I know pavucontrol. that's what I use to fix the problem. they can't learn to use it
[21:47] <popsch> just something with two buttons that does a sanity check and turns the mic on, the audio on, sets all streams to the headset
[21:48] <popsch> the constantly changing audio settings are the single thing that cause the most grief with them using Ubuntu
[21:49] <popsch> another good thing would be to prevent applications from changing the audio settings. I want to freeze them. For example, I don't want skype to try and outsmarten my setup that works (and then breaking it)
[21:49] <hydrox24> mmm, I understand
[21:50] <popsch> something like this: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/26433/audio-switcher/
[21:50] <benassi> hello
[21:51] <benassi> anyone know anything about unlocking phones?
[21:51] <hydrox24> !ask | benassi
[21:51] <hydrox24> benassi: also, that seems offtopic, so please take it to the relevant channel. This one is for ubuntu support only.
[21:51] <davis776> Hello, I have a problem... I cant install Ubuntu 12.04 - stuck at first screen (Welcome - language choose)... Mouse is moving but cannot click and keyboard same - working but not reacting - both USB - tried PS/2 and problem is same
[21:55] <axl_> I am trying to email a zip file and am getting the following error: Illegal content type 'application/zip; filename=caselot_mpx_export_for_2012_08_03.zip'
[21:55] <axl_> aby idea why?
[21:55] <hydrox24> davis776: did you verify the ISO you booted from? you can get strange issues from borked downloads
[21:55] <Alceus> Hey guys, Wine is outputting some bizarely corrupt sounds. It's like their bitrate is dramatically reduced. What gives?
[21:56] <davis776> hydrox24: yes :(
[21:56] <Alceus> (Ubuntu 12.04, Wine 1.4, latest updates to everything)
[21:59] <Praxi> hmm nautilus can't handle internet shortcuts?  Thats lame
[22:02] <sazawal> Anyone using gnome3?
[22:03] <zykotick9> !anyone | sazawal
[22:05] <sazawal> ubottu, sorry I meant gnome3 shell
[22:05] <sazawal> lol
