[13:09] <baazigar> danawar2 : actually i am sharing wireless internet with someone , and if speed is less, i am not sure if it is because of my downloads or the other person is also using the net
[13:09] <sacarlson> zubin: you must change the values of /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda  and you must have a directory /mnt created before you run it
[13:09] <danawar2> ahh ok
[13:10] <sacarlson> zubin: that line is only an example it must be modified for your disk configureation
[13:10] <baazigar> So i need some tool so that i can ask him to stop his downloads
[13:11] <baazigar> and my internet provided is also at fault sometimes
[13:11] <danawar2> baazigar: i think programs like ntop will help you there as they will show you on a graph the network usage on each connection/device
[13:11] <baazigar> i will check ntop then
[13:11] <danawar2> baazigar: not sure about a tool that can stop him from downloading you could block the ports he is downloading on or somthing need to do a quick reset i will be right bcak!
[13:12] <pentarex> hey guys can anyone tell me how I can optimize my .htaccess drupal File i´ve asked this question into the drupal channel and they said this is a server side question... 10x
[13:12] <danawar2> Hey pentarex do you use GUI or CLI?
[13:13] <vampirnata> are all /dev links recreated at boot?
[13:13] <danawar2> pentarex: And how do you want to optimize it?
[13:13] <DeltaHeavy> pentarex: #apache might be a better channel for that question.
[13:13] <sacarlson> pentarex: I've never used .htaccess to optimize just to disable access to users without passwords,  I'm sure it can be used for more but what?
[13:14] <bananapie> I am trying to recover data from an encrypted home directory. I got the passphrase from the wrapped-passphrase file, the contents and dates of the files are ok.  If I activate the option "encrypted filenames" while mounting, I see "Could not find key with description...."
[13:14] <sacarlson> pentarex: I guess you can also use .htaccess for rewrite?
[13:14] <pentarex> danawar2: I am using only CLI.. I want to optimize it because my load average is like 1.70+
[13:14] <DeltaHeavy> pentarex: If you're looking for speed .htaccess is pretty slow compared to editing permissions in your Apache config file.
[13:14] <pentarex> sacarlson: yes exactly
[13:15] <pentarex> my load average is 1.70+ that is my problem :(
[13:16] <DeltaHeavy> Anyway my Ubuntu problem is fixed I guess. Installed XFCE and everything runs fine. Was just surprized Ubuntu is this resource intensive now even without Unity (GNOME 2 fallback mode)
[13:16] <Abhijit> hi. how can i get back the ubuntu logo beside my username on lightdm display manager after removing the whole unity in ubuntu 12.04? help please?
[13:16] <sacarlson> pentarex: 1.70+ what kb/sec?
[13:17] <pentarex> sacarlson: my load average: 1.97, 1.80, 1.45
[13:17] <sacarlson> pentarex: 1.96 hits per minit?
[13:17] <Abhijit> DeltaHeavy, yes it is. now i have installed cinnamon. and after that it crashed only once. before that with unity and gnome shell it crashed now and then.
[13:18] <pentarex> sacarlson: proccess waiting to be executed for minute yes :)
[13:18] <pentarex> 1.97
[13:18] <jbroome> That's also an IP in the US. :)
[13:18] <jbroome> and that's also the wrong window
[13:19] <DeltaHeavy> Abhijit: Yeah, it blows my mind how Connacical (sp) managed to make such a bulky distro. I've found Ubuntu always to be a little bulky but now this is like...Vista bulky.
[13:19] <sacarlson> pentarex: what do we use to look at these figures?
[13:19] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: please stop with the FUD
[13:19] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: FUD?
[13:19] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: false information
[13:19] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: Ubuntu isn't bulky compared to your average linux distro?
[13:19] <bananapie> nevermind, I found the info
[13:20] <bananapie> I am updating the wiki
[13:20] <pentarex> sacarlson: what?
[13:20] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: not really, it sits in the same sizes as the main ones
[13:20] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: I'm talking resource wise
[13:20] <ikonia> as am I
[13:20] <DeltaHeavy> That's FUD lol
[13:21] <DeltaHeavy> CentOS is FAR more light than Ubuntu. Same with pretty much any distro I can think of. I can give Unity some slack but even with GNOME 2 fallback mode it's pretty bulky in comparison to other distros.
[13:21] <sacarlson> pentarex: what tool must I run here to run a comparison of the data you say is bad being 1.97?
[13:21] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: centos is a different generation of Linux desktop, and not a valid comparision
[13:21] <pentarex> sacarlson: I am running only apache 2 and this is the output from ¨top¨
[13:22] <sacarlson> DeltaHeavy: when you make me a ubucento call me so I can try it out
[13:22] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: Fedora then? Different Linux same purpose. To me a linux is a linux is a linux to an extent.
[13:22] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: fedora 16 - 17 sure, it's in the same ball park
[13:22] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: linux is a kernel, and if you look at all the distros (centos included) the kernel is the ball park same, the reference you are making is to the desktop
[13:23] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: Yeah, I know. I just havn't run into a distro with as much bulk as Ubuntu. Ubuntu has a lot of advantages to beginners and advantages overall, I just didn't know how bulky it god.
[13:24] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: the desktop is pretty much the same in terms of size and resources as Gnome 3 on Fedora
[13:24] <sacarlson> pentarex: I don't even see my apache in the table of top and I don't know what colum I should be looking at to compare
[13:25] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: Perhaps, I've tried Fedora 16 on a really powerful machine for a month or so but couldn't get used to GNOME3 so I installed Ubuntu on my work machine as I can't get access to Windows here. Wouldn't surprize me if the new Fedoras follow suit. Never been a fan of Fedora anyway.
[13:25] <DeltaHeavy> Too unstable
[13:26] <pentarex> sacarlson: ok leave it :) when you execute top on the right corner of the terminal there is something called load average :)
[13:26] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: all the main distros desktops are in the same ball park now, maybe a little more on one app, a little less on the other, but ball park the same
[13:27] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: I wouldn't say so. Fedora is the only other popular distro I'd say that about.
[13:27] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: Most distros will run off of 1GB of RAM and a 3Ghz Pentium
[13:27] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: which other distro of the same generation uses smaller resources ?
[13:27] <K4k> I'm running the cinnomon desktop environment on 12.04 and the icons in the applications menu appear to be missing. Is anyone experiencing this and know of a fix?
[13:27] <Kartagis> does anybody feel like doing a bit sound card debugging for me? I have a SiS7012 and my mic is not recognised
[13:27] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: not modern distros they don't
[13:27] <ikonia> Kartagis: SIS - welcome to a world of pain
[13:27] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: CentOS, SuSe, Gentoo, Arch
[13:27] <danawar2> My ubuntu is now ruined #unity :(
[13:27] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: centos is NOT modern
[13:28] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: in terms of desktop
[13:28] <Kartagis> ikonia: argh
[13:28] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: It uses GNOME2, it's still a very valid distro.
[13:28] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: Gentoo/Arch running gnome 3 are just as heavy
[13:28] <ikonia> DeltaHeavy: I didn't say it wasn't valid, but it's not a fair comparison with gnome 2 against gnome 3 as they are different generations
[13:28] <DeltaHeavy> ikonia: I doubt it but lemme look it up
[13:29] <Abhijit> danawar2, try cinnamon
[13:29] <ikonia> Abhijit: ubuntu doesn't have a stable cinnamon build
[13:29] <ikonia> Abhijit: it's not wise to push that blindly onto people
[13:29] <Kartagis> ikonia: what should I do? replace it?
[13:29] <ikonia> Kartagis: honestly if it was me, I would
[13:29] <danawar2> I use gnome Abhijit: not as tidy as my gnome 2 :)
[13:30] <ikonia> Kartagis: I appreciate that may sound lazy
[13:30] <Kartagis> ikonia:
[13:30] <Kartagis> oops
[13:30] <Abhijit> ikonia, i am suggesting him cinnamon. he will go to their website and will decide for himself if he want or not. and btw its fairly stable
[13:30] <riegersn> what happened to znes package on 12.04?
[13:30] <Kartagis> ikonia: could you at least take a look at my alsa-info.sh output?
[13:30] <invasorzim0101> hp scanner problem, help anyone?
[13:30] <Abhijit> ikonia, its my duty to share the knowledge of latest upcoming projects so that he may select cinnmaon in future thought not now
[13:31] <ikonia> Abhijit: there is no official ubuntu packages,
[13:31] <Abhijit> ikonia, there is ppa
[13:31] <ikonia> Abhijit: that PPA is not a supported product though
[13:31] <ikonia> Kartagis: if you want, sure
[13:31] <Abhijit> ikonia, thats the users's choice and responsibility to decide if he wnat that product or not
[13:31] <ikonia> Abhijit: not if you're not giving him the full information
[13:31] <Abhijit> ikonia, ok
[13:31] <Kartagis> http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=59160f78ecc01b20ae220e3c24e8003308d0739a
[13:31] <ikonia> Abhijit: nothing wrong with suggesting cinammon, but please don't recommend it blindly
[13:32] <ikonia> Kartagis: that suggests the sound card is an intel
[13:32] <Abhijit> danawar2, try cinnamon. it do not have an official ubuntu pagkage and its not included in official ubuntu repo yet. but cinnamon is great. try once
[13:32] <Kartagis> ikonia: lspci says sis
[13:32] <Kartagis> weird
[13:32] <ikonia> Kartagis: yes, I see that too
[13:32] <ikonia> Kartagis: it looks like it's loading the intel modules,
[13:32] <danawar2> Abhijit: Does it support compiz cube? :D
[13:32] <ikonia> danawar2: don't "try" cinnamon, research it
[13:33] <K4k> Abhijit: fwiw I'm running into issues with cinnamon, nothing show stopping though.
[13:33] <Kartagis> 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS7012 AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)
[13:33] <ikonia> danawar2: once you've installed it from a PPA it may do serious issues to your system
[13:33] <Abhijit> danawar2, no idea. but it has inbuilt attractive animations
[13:33] <ikonia> Kartagis: yes, I see that, I wonder if you are having the issues because it's loading the intel modules, rather than the SIS
[13:33] <Abhijit> danawar2, i am currently talking from cinnamon. no there DE. removed unity completely. and i am seeing no issues yet.
[13:34] <Abhijit> K4k, right
[13:34] <Kartagis> ikonia: hmm, no issues on output tho
[13:34] <Kartagis> ikonia: where to check that?
[13:34] <ikonia> Kartagis: very interesting, that maybe something that's worth exploring,
[13:34] <sacarlson> pentarex: only thing I found that might make .htaccess perform better is by disableing it AllowOverride None     http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/htaccess.html
[13:34] <ikonia> Kartagis: see if the intel modules have any limitations against the sis card
[13:34] <pentarex> sacarlson: thank you I will try it :)
[13:35] <Kartagis> I'd better just replace the sound card
[13:35] <Zally666> They do prolly
[13:35] <Xanny> Hi there, how to launch Privacy app using Terminal?
[13:35] <Zally666> Why else reprogram a card?
[13:35] <ikonia> Kartagis: from experience the SIS chips just cause problems, that doesn't mean yours wont' work, but I've never had an easy time setting one up
[13:35] <blackshirt> what you mean with privacy app?
[13:36] <norbert79> blackshirt: I guess the one, where you remove the cookies/tracks/logs/etc
[13:36] <norbert79> blackshirt: You know, the fancy new python app for doing what normally is being done manually
[13:37] <Xanny> norbert79: yes :P
[13:38] <Xanny> norbert79: but it doesn't work anymore, it doesn't del my data no more
[13:38] <Kartagis> ikonia: blacklist snd_intel8x0m <--- this maybe?
[13:38] <norbert79> Xanny: I am still under Lucid, so I don't think I could be a great help for you :)
[13:38] <betinho> anyone can help me to configure fstab to alllow a non superuser to mount a USB?
[13:39] <Xanny> norbert79: lol well :D
[13:39] <norbert79> betinho: Normally that should come out of box, but you are looking forward probably to the setting "users" in the settings column
[13:39] <blackshirt> was sis chipsets cause many trouble with ubuntu?
[13:39] <ikonia> Kartagis: try it, not sure that will get you far, but worth a try
[13:41] <Xanny> bye all :) good evening :)
[13:41] <MonkeyDust> betinho  fstab makes a device mount at startup
[13:41] <betinho> norbert79, i've inserted the line to the /etc/fstab: /dev/sdb1 /media/pendrive /dev/sdb1 /media/pendrive auto rw,noauto,user 0 0 but did not work
[13:42] <norbert79> betinho: Fstab lists the mounts you can mount with the mount /dev/sdb1... It will work. The question is more, that why does automount not work? It should work out-of-the-box
[13:42] <MonkeyDust> betinho  /dev/sdb1 /media/pendrive /dev/sdb1 only once in that line
[13:43] <norbert79> Ah, right, I thought that's a copy-paste typ
[13:43] <norbert79> o
[13:43] <MonkeyDust> betinho  correction  /dev/sdb1 /media/pendrive only once in that line
[13:43] <betinho> MonkeyDust, first /dev/sdb1 in error copy-paste :)
[13:44] <K4k> exit
[13:44] <norbert79> use /
[13:44] <MonkeyDust> betinho  type cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit and paste the url here, so we can see
[13:45] <K4k> norbert79: I know, had the wrong term focused ;-)
[13:45] <norbert79> :)
[13:48] <jatt> do you know a tool to remove all dead links in a directory?
[13:49] <betinho> MonkeyDust, cat /etc/fstab => http://pastebin.com/iNYnkvph
[13:49] <jatt> or to list all dead links in a directory?
[13:49] <betinho> also i've disable the automount of the USB in order to mount manually
[13:52] <marco> why doesn't ubuntu uses pdiffs in apt? Wouldn't it solve this problem : http://www.goodbyemicrosoft.net/news.php?item.697.4 ?
[13:53] <MonkeyDust> betinho  first on my mind: replace auto with ext4
[13:55] <norbert79> marco: Not even Debian uses it everywhere either, besides it's a good thought, but not so easy to solve. And yes, that's a huge task to resolve. But I doubt this is a question for support, I would suggest #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:56] <norbert79> marco: One last thought: You don't update your Windows with dial-up either, especially not new Service Packs
[13:57] <Pici> marco: deb deltas have been discussed at a few UDSes, you may want to start here at see what blockers there have been: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-o-debdelta
[13:58] <sergeantcupcake> My wimpy machine can hardly run ubuntu. Is there a way to make it work on less system resources? I would prefer to continue using ubuntu.
[13:58] <norbert79> sergeantcupcake: Try using Xubuntu as alternative
[13:58] <norbert79> sergeantcupcake: that is Ubuntu + XFCE
[13:59] <Kartagis> ikonia: thanks for the attempt to help btw
[13:59] <norbert79> Instead of Gnome 3 and KDE 4
[13:59] <fidel> sergeantcupcake: use an desktop-envirmnment which isnt that hungry
[13:59] <sergeantcupcake> norbert79: ok.thanks!
[13:59] <sergeantcupcake> fidel: such as..?
[13:59] <fidel> sergeantcupcake: well norbert was pointing in the same direction - but he is mentioning other distris - which differ basically in other default packages & DE's
[14:00] <fidel> so i am suggesting the same - basically ...just the question if you want to reinstall or do it manually
[14:00] <norbert79> fidel: Well, Xubuntu is still following mainstream Ubuntu, so it's not that of a different distribution
[14:00] <sergeantcupcake> fidel: I have very little tech skills, so which route would be easier?
[14:00] <fidel> norbert79: nor is it any different then using some other packages right?
[14:01] <norbert79> fidel: Didn't sink in that deep, but I didn't see any difference, except it uses Xfce as base WM
[14:01] <fidel> norbert79: personaly i got the impression in this channel that those several ubuntu-based distris - using some other DE cause more confusiopn then additional value to starters
[14:01] <norbert79> fidel: And why dom I think constantly the opposite?
[14:01] <norbert79> do
[14:01] <fidel> norbert79: so do you we nned A-Zbuntu now? ;)
[14:02] <fidel> anyway -getting offtopic
[14:02] <fidel> sergeantcupcake: in case you are using your setup already for a longer time - try to change it manually
[14:02] <sergeantcupcake> fidel: thanks!
[14:02] <fidel> in case it is a completly new install- without additional work done by yourself - consider installing whatever OTHER DISTRI norbert might have mentioned
[14:03] <fidel> sergeantcupcake: the point is - lubuntu - is not really a different distribution compared to ubuntu. so why reinstalling in the first place?
[14:04] <fidel> but ask 2 ppl and you'll get 3 answers
[14:04] <sergeantcupcake> fidel: I was not wanting to reinstall anything
[14:04] <Guest54409> hoping someone can help.. I think my java jline is broken, in a java console am unable to scroll through previous commands (like bash history)
[14:04] <roasted> Question - is there any way to break open a DMG by chance on Ubuntu?
[14:04] <Toph2> i went to xfce by just downloading the desktop,, now i have an option of desktops at login
[14:04] <fidel> sergeantcupcake: thats exactly what i was trying to point out ;)
[14:05] <fidel> roasted: apple dmgs are basically archives folders - at least some kind of
[14:05] <fidel> tested to move into it in cli?
[14:05] <agc93> roasted: have you tried opening it in File Roller (Archive Manager)
[14:06] <sergeantcupcake> fidel: ahhh... Im sorry, Im a little out of my depth here :) thanks for the help and God bless anyway
[14:06] <roasted> agc93: yuep, no go
[14:06] <PjotrOrial> So when I was using the beta version and a program crashed, i was redirected into my webbrowser to describe the bug. Now that precise is stable and I get bugs where are those bugs redirected to? Can I do anything else than just clicking 'yes submit this bug please' ?
[14:06] <roasted> fidel: I understand. I'm just trying to do some work on a custom DMG here at work. My MBP died so I'm kind of stuck.
[14:06] <morsnowski> where do I find the config that keeps track of the possible resolutions, I have a a max resolution of 1620*1080 but qoul like a 1920*1080
[14:07] <agc93> roasted: you can try using dmg2img from the repos to convert the DMG into a mountable IMG file?
[14:08] <agc93> roasted: even if you do that, you might need to load hfsplus support with sudo modprobe hfsplus
[14:09] <roasted> agc93: I wonder if thats a CLI tool...
[14:09] <agc93> roasted: it is.

[14:09] <agc93> b0ot: that would depend on what kind of account it is. Is it an MS Exchange email?
[14:10] <Guest54409> hoping someone can help.. I think my java jline is broken, in a java console am unable to scroll through previous commands (like bash history)
[14:10] <b0ot> agc93, I'm not sure... whatever the default is for Android Corporate exchange
[14:10] <b0ot> not exchange

[14:18] <PjotrOrial> paanii: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/02/how-to-easily-resize-virtualbox-40-hard.html would be googles first hit
[14:19] <PjotrOrial> paanii: so you have ubuntu as Host or client in the vm... but yeah as geirha said #vbox is definitly better ;)

[14:48] <Fuchs> roasted: not with dropbox as far as I am informed, but there is owncloud as an example
[14:49] <roasted> Fuchs: not sure I understand what you mean about "not with dropbox". ????
[14:49] <Fuchs> ah, sorry, I misread the question :)
[14:49] <roasted> Fuchs: hm this owncloud looks interesting.
[14:49] <f00fster> heyy guys simple question is the /var/dpkg/lock file always present in ubuntu ?
[14:50] <roasted> Fuchs: it'll allow me to have a "dropbox-like" experience, but with my data going to my own server?
[14:50] <f00fster> trying ti add checks but cant seem to since the file seems to be present in all my boxes
[14:50] <Fuchs> roasted: exactly
[14:50] <roasted> Fuchs: that's beautiful.
[14:50] <roasted> Fuchs: thanks for the idea!
[14:50] <Fuchs> roasted: you're welcome
[14:51] <adamkhan> hi all
[14:51] <Fuchs> roasted: they have a wiki on how to get several software working with it, as it initially came from KDE, the integration there might be a slight bit better, but there should be no big issue getting it to work with $anything_else, since it supports open standards
[14:51] <adamkhan> ive gota prob
[14:51] <adamkhan> its graphical
[14:51] <nicekiwi> im trying to set the permission on a .sh file, but the changes dont take effect weather i do them from consolr of the file manager. help?
[14:52] <adamkhan> i cant see the extensions i install on the top of the gnome 3 bar the top
[14:52] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: what kind of changes, and is the file system the file is one writeable and allowing these kind of changes?
[14:52] <roasted> Fuchs: how would it be KDE based? Maybe I'm wrong but I was assuming it was a web interface that dumps the files into a folder in nautilus. What's KDE driven about that?
[14:52] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: e.g. some file systems are noexec, so +x wouldn't work
[14:52] <Fuchs> roasted: the guys developing it coming from KDE land, and integration in the applications there (e.g. filemanager). But yes, it does have a web frontend
[14:52] <nicekiwi> Fuchs: its a file in my user dir i just downloaded with git. I want to all myself to execute the file.
[14:52] <ikonia> /window 14
[14:53] <ikonia> oops
[14:53] <nicekiwi> Fuchs: ive been trying with chmod 764
[14:53] <adamkhan> is gnome 3 buggy for everyone on ubuntu?
[14:53] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: do you get any error messages?
[14:53] <nicekiwi> Fuchs: no
[14:54] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: and ls -l on the file gives you what?
[14:55] <adamkhan> is gnome 3 on ubuntu buggy for everyone? or can it be fixed?
[14:55] <nicekiwi> Fuchs: -rw------- 1 ezra ezra
[14:55] <adamkhan> is gnome 3 on ubuntu buggy for everyone? or can it be fixed?
[14:55] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: sure you are applying the changes on the right file?
[14:56] <adamkhan> is gnome 3 on ubuntu buggy for everyone? or can it be fixed?
[14:56] <GunArm> since gnome classic doesn't seem to work with nvidia twinview (it duplicates all the taskbar items and you can't manually remove them like you could on gnome 2) does anyone have a suggestion for a desktop manager that is actually usable (obviuosly exclusing unity and gnome 3)?  xfce? mate? i have heard those wont be compatible with new programs, is that true?
[14:56] <nicekiwi> theres only onle file with that filename, so yup
[14:56] <Pecker> adamkhan: your problem is?
[14:56] <morsnowski> does anyone know how to create a custom display resolution setting
[14:56] <roasted> Fuchs: only thing I'm having trouble finding is any sort of android support... do you know of anything?
[14:57] <adamkhan> i cant see any of the icons/extensions i add to the top panel
[14:57] <Fuchs> roasted: yes, there is an experimental android app for it
[14:57] <GunArm> has anyone come up with a usable solution to having a practical and usable gui in modern ubuntu?  I'm about to have to go back to windows after all these years
[14:57] <nicekiwi> Fuchs: when i try to execue the sh file in console it says permission denied
[14:57] <Fuchs> roasted: it is on the wiki, and under development
[14:57] <adamkhan> i use advance tweak settings for them
[14:57] <roasted> Fuchs: ah I see it, it wasnt under the google market. gotcha.
[14:57] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: can I see the whole command you try to execute to change the permissions?
[14:58] <christoffer> Any irc channel for the ubuntu app showdown?
[14:58] <nicekiwi> Fuchs: http://pastebin.com/tdgHusra
[14:58] <f00fster> anyone know if the dpkg lock file is always present in ubuntu ? AKA can someone do ls /var/lib/dpkg/ and tell me if lock file is present?
[14:59] <antlarr> hi
[14:59] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: first of all, only sudo when needed. Then: ./build_all.sh  << this with the ./ won't work
[14:59] <antlarr> anybody knows why the oprofile package was removed from 12.04 ?
[14:59] <nicekiwi> :(
[15:00] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: chmod u+rwx filename    would be correct
[15:00] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: as long as you are the owner, which, from the output above, I assume you are
[15:00] <Pici> f00fster: -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Jun 18 10:12 /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[15:01] <Pici> f00fster: dpkg is not running currently.
[15:01] <nicekiwi> Fuchs: yeah.. well it dosnt work. I cant change the permissions and i cant run the sh file :(
[15:02] <nicekiwi> antlarr: the lock file is there for me
[15:02] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: do you get any errors when doing  just a  chmod u+rwx build_all.sh?
[15:02] <f00fster> Pici: so it is always present, but get populated when dpkg is running ?
[15:02] <Fuchs> (without the ? of course)
[15:02] <nicekiwi> Fuchs: no
[15:02] <f00fster> Pici: What gives?
[15:02] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: and ls -l says what currently?
[15:02] <nicekiwi> Fuchs: same as before
[15:02] <Fuchs> nicekiwi: if still not the right permissions: sure it's not on a filesystem which is mounted noexec?
[15:02] <antlarr> nicekiwi: the lock file ?
[15:03] <nicekiwi> antlarr: yup
[15:05] <nicekiwi> Fuchs: hmm well that im not sure, but it wasnt actusally in my user dir. it was on a seperate disk, moving it to the home dir let me chnage it
[15:07] <lauratika> how can i find which ipaddress applications as ftp, or skype are conecting as?
[15:07] <nkts> hi, when I click f10 on gnome-terminal, I get drop down menu - is this a bug of feature? How to disable that?
[15:08] <nkts> enable the menu shortcut key is disabled..
[15:09] <carroarmato0> nkts: hmm seems like a bug
[15:09] <carroarmato0> nkts: works fine here
[15:09] <oCean> lauratika: if you know the port the program is using, you can run  sudo netstat -anp |grep <portnr>
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> lauratika  try lsof -i
[15:09] <oCean> lauratika: example, ssh=22, run sudo netstat -anp |grep 22
[15:09] <nkts> carroarmato0: any ideas how to fix that?
[15:10] <carroarmato0> nkts: nope, sorry
[15:10] <carroarmato0> nkts: running 12.04 ?
[15:11] <nkts> carroarmato0: yes
[15:12] <carroarmato0> nkts: ow hang on
[15:12] <lauratika> so lets say if im using a vpn, and i use skype or chat would this be show as my vpn address?
[15:13] <carroarmato0> nkts: I seem to be having the same issue as you :/
[15:13] <carroarmato0> nkts: it used to work
[15:15] <roasted> Question - I had previously tinkered with different apache and nginx setups, but I think I goofed as I can't get apache running. When I reinstall apache (even with doing a remove --purge prior) when I reinstall it, it won't generate anything in /var/www like it does on a fresh install. How can I get it completely cleansed so I can apt-get install owncloud (which uses apache) to finisht he installation?
[15:15] <carroarmato0> nkts: the window that appears is the equivalent op a right-mouse click, right?
[15:15] <nkts> carroarmato0: yes
[15:16] <carroarmato0> nkts: that's not supposed to happen indeed
[15:16] <carroarmato0> nkts: the F10 enabled should only show the application Menu
[15:17] <carroarmato0> nkts: probably should report this as a bug
[15:17] <kisha> #TC support
[15:19] <oCean> roasted: have you checked dpkg -l | grep apache
[15:19] <roasted> oCean: what is it from that output should I be seeing?
[15:20] <oCean> roasted: something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/1047486/
[15:20] <roasted> oCean: yeah, I see that.
[15:21] <oCean> roasted: ok, so in the first column it lists the installation "state" (for example, RC, which is removed but configfiles remain)
[15:22] <redlight>  I have dual-boot and 3 partitions(1st partition: windows, 2nd: nothing, just any files saved to this partition, 3rd: ubuntu) -- win 7 as main and ubuntu 10.10 -- when win 7 got boot error, i just load ubuntu and works fine.. then a few days past... now I can't access the 2nd partition.. it says error on mounting :( I have important files on the 2nd partition, how can I fix it?
[15:23] <roasted> oCean: heres mine - http://pastebin.com/LbQicQkw
[15:24] <oCean> roasted: well, from that output we have to assume everything is completely installed. What do you think is missing?
[15:24] <MonkeyDust> redlight  type sudo fdisk -l to know the partition's dev-name -- then type sudo mount /dev/sd... /media
[15:24] <roasted> oCean: well, there's typically files in /var/www, and if you go to localhost you get an output from apache saying IT WORKS! I have none of that.
[15:24] <roasted> oCean: I'm getting a 500internal server error relating to nginx... whcih is something I was testing prior to apache.
[15:24] <shookees> what's the ubuntu showdown channel?
[15:25] <oCean> roasted: that is just one index.html file, but indeed - after a fresh install it should be there
[15:25] <MonkeyDust> showdown channel?
[15:25] <Guest81463> yeah, the app showdown channel
[15:25] <oCean> roasted: may be best to remove everything from both nginx and apache
[15:25] <roasted> oCean: well, that brings in the new question, as I'm not running just apache but I'm running owncloud, which is accessed by localhost/owncloud. It's the one getting the 500 error.
[15:25] <roasted> oCean: remove everything how, remove --purge motion remove --purge nginx?
[15:26] <MonkeyDust> !find showdown | Guest81463
[15:27] <Anomie211> I have a folder full of .pdf files, can I batch convert these into .png/.jpg easily?
[15:28] <oCean> roasted: hmm, not sure why you have "motion" there, probably unrelated? Anyway run  sudo apt-get purge nginx first  then   sudo apt-get purge apache2-common (which should also remove few dependencies)
[15:29] <roasted> oCean: motion is video surveillance software I use. I had tested it on my laptop here before I put it on my server @ home. It's unrelated.
[15:29] <redlight> MonkeyDust, I did what you said and it returned an error: http://pastebin.com/fXXRqbFd
[15:29] <blastermaster> hi
[15:30] <kimphill> Anomie211, man pdfimages
[15:30] <oCean> roasted: sudo apt-get purge nginx-common, then sudo apt-get autoremove to get rid of all nginx related packages
[15:31] <MonkeyDust> Anomie211  renaming is not the same as converting, but maybe this link helps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=924054
[15:32] <Anomie211> kimphill: PDF images seems to be for extracting images from PDFs?
[15:32] <Anomie211> I want to convert into an image
[15:32] <Toasty> What's the name of the room for the Python workshop?
[15:32] <Toasty> It was 'ubuntu-?????'
[15:32] <Toasty> don't remember what came after the dash

[15:35] <MonkeyDust> redlight  did you read/follow the instructions in the error message?
[15:35] <redlight> MonkeyDust, I tried but I can't get into Win 7.. it hangs when I try to load
[15:35] <mongrelion> Hello, guys. I'm in a very tough situation here and would deeply appreciate any help given :S
[15:36] <TimR> Anomie211: imagemagick might do the trick
[15:37] <redlight> MonkeyDust, that's why Im using ubuntu. But, I cant access the files in the partition
[15:37] <mongrelion> I was trying to figure out why the server was not allowing ssh authentication using public keys. It seems like it is a permissions issue with the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. Anyways, I set the option PasswordAuthentication no option in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, and now, I'm not able to connect to the server. I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with this. Any idea? :/
[15:37] <mongrelion> I don't have physical access to the server.
[15:37] <greywalk> hi, i have 3 gb of ram and my system sees 2.5 gb only. why is that?
[15:38] <cquick97> What is the room for the appshowdown?
[15:38] <DJones> greywalk: Do you have a graphics card that shares main memory?
[15:38] <greywalk> DJones: not sure, but i'll check. this explains the issue
[15:39] <zvacet> I have shutdown problem with 12.04  if I try to shutdown all I see is ubuntu logo and I have to restart comp to shut it down
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> redlight  try booting from a live cd or usb, see if, at least, you have access from there
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> if*
[15:40] <DJones> !ram | greywalk This may help explain it as well
[15:40] <redlight> MonkeyDust, ok.
[15:41] <TimR> Anomie211: something along the lines of "for file in *.pdf; do convert "$file" $(echo "$file"|sed 's/.pdf/.png'); done"
[15:42] <greywalk> DJones: thanks
[15:42] <mobius420> greetings #ubuntu
[15:43] <mobius420> I am trying to identify and stop a webserver daemon which starts up automatically when my system boots
[15:43] <mobius420> does anyone know of a webserver daemon which comes bundled with ubuntu?
[15:43] <mobius420> I am trying to use the webserver of my choice which happens to be xampp for linux
[15:44] <mobius420> but of course i cannot run it because there is already a webserver daemon running :?
[15:44] <oCean> !xampp | mobius420
[15:44] <theadmin> mobius420: Ubuntu does *not* come with a webserver...
[15:44] <mobius420> *yay*
[15:44] <theadmin> mobius420: Unless you mean the server edition.
[15:44] <mobius420> well thanks a *lot*
[15:44] <mobius420> lulz
[15:44] <Relondo> Is there a fix for the Unity launcher bar not hiding properly  bug?
[15:45] <theadmin> mobius420: Do you have TeamViewer? It binds to port 80 sometimes. Disable that in the settings if so.
[15:45] <ashima> Hi..I am trying to get wifi on my hp g62 and have the driver ralink 5490 for it...can anybody help me with that...thanks in advance :)
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> Relondo  try MyUnity
[15:45] <Relondo> MonkeyDust: Is it an application?
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> Relondo  yes
[15:45] <Belserusk> Hi. How can I make gnome-search-tool open a folder with pcmanfm when I select 'Open Folder' on right click -- it currently tries to open everything with my text editor.
[15:46] <Relondo> MonkeyDust: Alright, thanks. I'm still annoyed that the problem hasn't been fixed yet, but I'll look into it.
[15:47] <danawar2> Have install ubuntu 11.10
[15:48] <danawar2> and everything is now broken more lol
[15:49] <guest2> Hello. I learned in here once before of a utility used to redirect output to a file. Does anyone know what utility that was?
[15:50] <oCean> MonkeyDust: when advising PPA's, can you please add that it is 3rd party, unsupported repository? (even if you are convinced it is stable, and if you are not convinced that way, please don't recommend it at all)
[15:50] <TKing> hi

[15:51] <dmsuperman> My interface KEEPS locking up. I'll move my mouse around and everything runs smooth and great
[15:51] <dmsuperman> except every once in a while, everything simply freezes for about a second or two
[15:51] <theadmin> guest2: tee?
[15:51] <dmsuperman> Including the house
[15:51] <dmsuperman> mouse*
[15:51] <guest2> Yeah, that's it!

[15:52] <theshadow> This is going to sound like a newb question, is there a way to let an application bind to port 80 without running as root?
[15:52] <guest2> theshadow: Not as far as I'm aware.
[15:52] <OerHeks> dmsuperman, those little freezes can occure tru zeitgeist.
[15:52] <guest2> But I might be a newb too!
[15:52] <MonkeyDust> oCean  myunity is in the repos, no ppa needed
[15:53] <TKing> hello, guys  i am having problems loading ubuntu ater upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, i rebooted the computer and it shows lines like a tv not connected to any channel the shaking lines wudn't allow for anything
[15:53] <oCean> MonkeyDust: apologies, I thought myunity was only available through PPA, I see it's in the ubuntu repositories too
[15:53] <dmsuperman> OerHeks: they can...what?
[15:53] <oCean> MonkeyDust: yeah, I typo'd when searching the repos
[15:53] <OerHeks> dmsuperman, zeitgeist is a log of all actions  you do, this util can generate some waiting time
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> oCean  FYI I *never* advice PPAs
[15:54] <oCean> MonkeyDust: okay, we're on the same page there :)
[15:54] <theadmin> theshadow: No. But you can add a permission to that app for sudoers like this: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/your_app some_parameters
[15:54] <dmsuperman> OerHeks: It tends to happen even when I'm not doing anything whatsoever
[15:54] <TKing> hello, guys  i am having problems loading ubuntu ater upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, i rebooted the computer and it shows lines like a tv not connected to any channel the shaking lines wudn't allow for anything
[15:54] <dmsuperman> But how would I disable it?
[15:54] <dmsuperman> Ah, under Privacy I'm guessing
[15:54] <dmsuperman> just disabled it, I'll see if that does it
[15:54] <dmsuperman> What does it benefit me to log my actions?
[15:55] <JasonDC> crap... i was trying to install Proxmox VE to a partition and it over wrote the whole harddrive
[15:55] <OerHeks> dmsuperman, it helps dash finding your files and programs. disable it if you don't want it  > http://askubuntu.com/questions/45548/disabling-zeitgeist

[15:59] <aroman> anyone running ubuntu/linux on the new macbook air/pros?
[15:59] <theadmin> !mac | aroman
[15:59] <MonkeyDust> TKing  10.04 is the oldest version that's not yet EOL
[15:59] <Belserusk> Please can someone answer my Q.
[15:59] <aroman> theadmin: not was I was looking for, but thanks.
[15:59] <dmsuperman> theadmin: Don't think that's what he asked
[15:59] <dmsuperman> aroman: Are you? I'm interested in doing the same
[16:00] <marowanna> nice
[16:00] <marowanna> spam originating from this channel lately
[16:00] <marowanna> lots of it
[16:00] <BlazemoreWork> Hello
[16:00] <TKing> MonkeyDust i have windows installed and installed ubuntu 10.10 bcos i had the bootable cd with d up of upgrading
[16:00] <marowanna> so far 10 people in 2 days all originating from this channel have been spamming me, who knew ubuntu was where spammers come =P
[16:00] <aroman> dmsuperman: I'm gonna buy one or the other tonight, and I'll be using ubuntu as the primary OS on them. Debating about getting the MBA or the MBP, and that kind of depends on the linux support.
[16:00] <theadmin> marowanna: What what? Go to #ubuntu-ops and report those, this is no good
[16:00] <marowanna> guys i suggest you head to efnet if you need help i've never receieved help from this channel
[16:01] <BlazemoreWork> Does anyone know how I can list all the users who are authorised to ssh in as a local user, without having to parse authorized_users myself?
[16:01] <dmsuperman> aroman: Gotchya. From what I read, the support for 12.04 on the latest mbp wasn't superbly wonderful
[16:01] <aroman> it looks like the previous version of the MBA had exceptional support for linux
[16:01] <marowanna> not that efnet will be much mkore helpful
[16:01] <dmsuperman> but I can't imagine the air will be any better or worse
[16:01] <marowanna> oh wait im on freenode
[16:01] <marowanna> DERP
[16:01] <marowanna> sorry
[16:01] <aroman> dmsuperman: got a link to that?
[16:01] <MonkeyDust> TKing  10.10 is no longer valid or suported
[16:01] <TKing> MonkeyDust when i upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 i rebooted and its shows lines
[16:01] <dmsuperman> I don't unfortunately. I think it was a forum post
[16:01] <TKing> MonkeyDust, I know but i am upgrading gradually
[16:01] <dmsuperman> Let me see if I can dig it up
[16:01] <TKing> bcos i don't the bootable
[16:02] <aroman> dmsuperman: thanks
[16:02] <dmsuperman> aroman: If you're talking about retina, I know for sure that won't work quite wonderfully yet
[16:02] <aroman> def. not
[16:02] <dmsuperman> Since OS X is the only OS that includes the pixel doubling afaik
[16:02] <aroman> the 13'' models
[16:02] <TKing> MonkeyDust: does that mean I can't upgrade after a fresh installion?
[16:02] <dmsuperman> k
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> TKing  if you're fresh installing, why not install 12.04 ?
[16:03] <dmsuperman> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro8-1/Natty aroman this looks promising/informative
[16:03] <BlazemoreWork> What's the point of a firewall if upnp allows arbitrary ports to be opened by any old application?
[16:03] <TKing> MonkeyDust no bootable cd with me
[16:03] <dmsuperman> BlazemoreWork: The idea is that the upnp port is only used by the application when the application needs it
[16:03] <TKing> or flash drive
[16:04] <aroman> dmsuperman: that and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir4-2, yep
[16:04] <dmsuperman> and when it's not in use, it's closed. And all non-punched ports would remain closed
[16:04] <Praxi> BlazemoreWork, plus the port is only opened from the inside
[16:04] <dmsuperman> nice aroman
[16:04] <BlazemoreWork> But if a malicious application wants to, it can just open a port
[16:04] <aroman> i mean that MBA wiki page is literally a flawless report.
[16:04] <Praxi> no one said UPNP was great :)
[16:04] <dmsuperman> Of course. A firewall doesn't help you if both sides of the firewall are compromised
[16:04] <dmsuperman> This is true of any firewall though
[16:04] <dmsuperman> Well
[16:04] <dmsuperman> Any consumer firewall
[16:05] <BlazemoreWork> No, if a firewall is only allowing traffic through port 80, even if a trojan got dropped on a webserver it wouldn't be able to do anything
[16:05] <BlazemoreWork> if the trojan is allowed to open a port it can establish a connection and the host becomes part of a botnet
[16:05] <fman23> Whenever I install the latest Ubuntu (64-bit) on my desktop computer (AMD Athlon II Dual-Core, Nvidia GeForce 6150SE).  Compiz crashes on first startup, and everytime I run it manually, it crashes with a seg fault.  Unity crashes because compiz crashes.  I installed Gnome Shell, but it also crashes on startup.  I think the problem may originate in xorg, but I am not sure how to solve this problem.  Any ideas?
[16:05] <Praxi> UPNP makes things easy for people who don't know, without giving away the entire firewall.  People who know often turn off UPNP
[16:05] <mercutio22> can someone tell me whats the default kernel version in precise pangolin?
[16:05] <on3pk> Hm.  Has anyone else had issues with Chrome on Ubuntu 2d?
[16:05] <TKing> or flash drive
[16:06] <dmsuperman> BlazemoreWork: It would just connect via port 80
[16:06] <dmsuperman> or whichever pot it came in on
[16:06] <BlazemoreWork> It came in on, say, a flash drive
[16:06] <fman23_> sorry about that, firefox crashed
[16:06] <dmsuperman> BlazemoreWork: So the web server isn't connected to the web?
[16:07] <dmsuperman> I'm saying that the firewall would be useless if the other side is compromised
[16:07] <dmsuperman> If you have physical access, you can just as easily disable the firewall at that point also
[16:07] <dmsuperman> Also BlazemoreWork you don't use upnp in a server setup
[16:07] <dmsuperman> it's for convenience of home use
[16:08] <TKing_> MonkeyDust can I retore the partition used inside windows?
[16:09] <fman23_> Does anyone have any ideas to solve my problem? if not, i will just try gentoo
[16:09] <TKing_> MonkeyDust, to be specific, I have 1 partition, and inside it i installed Windows and Ubuntu - the ubuntu is corrupt and uses some space how do I instal fresh one without corrupting windows?
[16:09] <fman23_> And also, i meant to say the livecd ran fine
[16:10] <on3pk> Likewise, I found out something: I can use 1600x900 on my monitor on 2d, but not Unity 3d... Why?
[16:10] <TKing_> theamdin , to be specific, I have 1 partition, and inside it i installed Windows and Ubuntu - the ubuntu is corrupt and uses some space how do I instal fresh one without corrupting windows?
[16:11] <dmsuperman> TKing_: How did you install ubuntu on th same partition as windows?
[16:11] <dmsuperman> wubi?
[16:11] <dmsuperman> If so, just use the uninstaller in windows
[16:11] <fman23_> on3pk: possibly something with compiz
[16:11] <on3pk> fman23: oh.
[16:12] <TKing_> dmsuperman, i installed windows, boot from cd to install ubuntu (dual boot)
[16:12] <on3pk> I'm on an older system (Intel 945 integrated graphics) would compiz not be able to do 1600x900 in 3d?
[16:12] <dmsuperman> TKing_: then...just delete your ubuntu partition
[16:13] <dmsuperman> format*
[16:14] <TKing_> dmsuperman, thanks, i tried it b4 and end up not knowing the actual partition it is installed in... also i cant seem to combine it or restore it back to the windows partion
[16:15] <dmsuperman> TKing_: Not sure if you can do that from ubuntu's installer disc (combine into an existing ntfs partition)
[16:15] <dmsuperman> In that scenario, what I do is just delete all the non-windows partitions
[16:15] <dmsuperman> then boot to a windows repair disc or similar and do the combining there
[16:16] <dmsuperman> OerHeks: It seems to have stopped. Very strange that it would lock the entire system up on a C2D with SSD
[16:16] <dmsuperman> stupid crappily written software :(
[16:17] <gtjreiwohj94> #t4nk
[16:17] <ki> where we ask the question about todays python workshop of ubuntu
[16:18] <saby> Any good free pdf reader with highlighting and annotation capability ?
[16:19] <Pici> ki: #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat
[16:19] <ki> thank you
[16:20] <refeiner> myrefeiner
[16:21] <nkts> how to check what nameserver I am using?
[16:21] <j`ey> how can I remove the top bar from my secondary screen?
[16:22] <oozbooz> nkts: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[16:22] <nkts> oozbooz: yeah, <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:22] <oozbooz> are you running DNS on this box?
[16:23] <nkts> no!
[16:23] <oozbooz> are you still able to get names resolved?
[16:23] <oozbooz> do you use DHCP or static IP
[16:23] <nkts> oozbooz: yes, but I would like to know what nameservers I am using
[16:24] <nkts> dhcp
[16:24] <oozbooz> yes to... ?
[16:24] <nkts> yes - resolving names is ok
[16:24] <oozbooz> dhcp?
[16:25] <nkts> oozbooz: yea, ip is from dhcp
[16:25] <Pici> !away > VGoff
[16:25] <oozbooz> usually dhcp will push NS as well
[16:25] <nkts> oozbooz: but not <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:26] <oozbooz> check /var/lib/dhclient/
[16:26] <saby> any good pdf reader with highlighting and annotation features ?
[16:27] <oozbooz> for ubuntu /var/lib/dhcp
[16:27] <oozbooz> there are hsould be lease files ... check values for dns
[16:28] <nkts> why the F ubuntu is running dnsmasq by default?
[16:28] <oozbooz> ohhh....
[16:28] <oozbooz> so you did install dns...
[16:28] <oozbooz> dnsmasq runs dns caching
[16:29] <oozbooz> so you have local dns
[16:29] <nkts> oozbooz: yes, in deed
[16:30] <TheLordOfTime> is it possible to disable dnsmasq's dns caching?
[16:33] <TheWizard> TheLordOfTime: --cache-size=0
[16:38] <Ponsjuh> Hi, Is there a way to see how long i have been logged in at X11 at a specific day.. example i login at 08.15 and logout at 18.15 are either simes being logged or can it be logged somewhere?
[16:40] <Ponsjuh> or maybe it can be done via gnome.. either way i want to know when i logged in and logged out so i can calculate my active time
[16:41] <Pici> Ponsjuh: last will show you login and logout times, just look for one for the proper tty.
[16:41] <OerHeks> Ponsjuh, you need  wtmp file > http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man3/login.3.html
[16:41] <Pici> Ponsjuh: last looks at the wtmp file.
[16:41] <Ponsjuh> last won't show my local login only the ones i have done via terminal
[16:42] <Pici> really? I would think that your x-session would show up.
[16:42] <GeminiDomino> Hopefully someone can give me a hand. I'm getting a funky mdstat on a RAID1 12.04 Server (64-bit) that has me confused.  It says the second device has been removed (it hasn't, and the other 2 mirrored filesystems are showing fine)  http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ZT7qLSds   . When I try to fail/remove the missing device (/dev/sda1) it says it doesn't exist, and if I try to re-add it, it says...
[16:42] <GeminiDomino> ...it's busy. Worth noting: this is a swap partition.  Any ideas?
[16:42] <Lartza> Failing to get sudo to work
[16:42] <Lartza> sudo: must be setuid root
[16:43] <on3pk> Hm.
[16:43] <Ponsjuh> i'm looking at it right now and it only shows pts/[0..X]
[16:45] <Lartza> sudoers has an admin group and I added my user to that group
[16:46] <Lartza> okay fixed it :)
[16:48] <Ponsjuh> ah found it
[16:48] <Ponsjuh> it's in /var/log/auth.log
[16:48] <DigDeeper> Is there anyway I can use the "alias" command for replacing long texts instead of commands?
[16:49] <DigDeeper> Can I say alias google='google.com' and then #ping google
[16:49] <theadmin> DigDeeper: zsh has global aliases (they act pretty much exactly like you specified), but I know of no way with bash
[16:50] <DigDeeper> hmmm, so no way in bash to replace long strings..
[16:50] <theadmin> DigDeeper: Not really... export google="google.com" ; ping $google ; # How about this?
[16:51] <DigDeeper> Naah
[16:51] <DigDeeper> The problem there I think is it takes the output of $google as input to ping
[16:51] <DigDeeper> the output to google.com is Command not found
[16:51] <DigDeeper> so that won't work
[16:52] <theadmin> DigDeeper: That's not how ${} works. That's how $() works
[16:52] <theadmin> DigDeeper: $google just means "the variable google"
[16:52] <DigDeeper> Aaah... never knew about it.. Let me try
[16:53] <DigDeeper> HAH, that works theadmin
[16:53] <DigDeeper> Thanks a lot..
[16:53] <DigDeeper> but I will have to put it in my .bashrc file to make it persistent
[16:54] <drPoo> what is the difference between the scripts found in /etc/init.d and those in /etc/default? Are the scripts in /etc/default the ones that get executed when running sudo service SERVICENAME start??
[16:54] <theadmin> drPoo: /etc/default contains default configs for... stuff... It's got nothing to do with initscripts.
[16:55] <ssta> although it's sometimes referred to by init scripts
[16:55] <theadmin> drPoo: /etc/init.d/ is provided for backwards-compatibility with Sys V INIT. Look under /etc/init/ for the Upstart configs.
[16:55] <drPoo> theadmin, is /etc/default an ubuntu/debian thing?
[16:56] <theadmin> drPoo: Probably so... I have it on my Arch, but it has only 3 little files
[16:56] <ssta> I think it's mandated by FHS
[16:56] <ssta> see section 9.3.2 of FHS
[16:57] <Guest39073> Hi. How to change icon for terminal running alpine?
[16:57] <ssta> hmm, actually, scratch that
[16:58] <ssta> that's a debianisation, yeah.  Sorry for confusion
[17:00] <iLogical> Please. I need thunderbird to the version 8.0 to work with the calendar add-on
[17:01] <iLogical> downgrade*
[17:01] <iLogical> a*
[17:01] <iLogical> how can I do that?
[17:02] <emobathtub> iLogical: You can actually open the plug in manually and edit the versions allowed. I forgot how to do it but. A quick google should suffice
[17:02] <emobathtub> They almost always work flawlessly.
[17:02] <GeminiDomino> (12.04 64-bit) Okay, I've got a RAID1 swap partition that seems to have me locked into a mutually exclusive charlie-foxtrot here.  The device was "removed" but can't be re-added even though it's already added but... *gets dizzy and just throws up the pastebin* http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Kv4jNF6g
[17:03] <excalibr> guys, how does nautilus mount drives without the need for root?
[17:03] <linuxuz3r> depend on what drive
[17:04] <emobathtub> excalibr: Depends on the drive
[17:04] <DigDeeper> thadmin: why did export work when using $google but alas didn't work ?
[17:04] <excalibr> windows partition, ntfs
[17:04] <emobathtub> linuxuz3r: Too fast for me
[17:04] <L3top> GeminiDomino: I cannot help probably, though I will look, but I wanted to say that was the most entertaining help request I have seen.
[17:05] <franzisco> ciao
[17:05] <franzisco> !list
[17:05] <theadmin> DigDeeper: "alias" makes a pseudo-command, it will only work at the beginning of the shell request.
[17:06] <saby> excalibr, if root privileges are required, nautilius does ask for your password so that it can get sudo priviliges to mount the drive
[17:06] <iLogical> it only show a red bar saying it can't install the add-on because the version isn't compatible. there's no thing I can click or right-click. I am sure this add-on isn't in the list presented there
[17:06] <iLogical> emobathtub,
[17:06] <emobathtub> iLogical: Which plugin are you using
[17:06] <iLogical> lightning
[17:06] <iLogical> oh no
[17:06] <iLogical> plugin ..
[17:07] <DigDeeper> theadmin: That makes sense because I also tried alias google='echo google.com' and it didn't work. Thanks
[17:07] <iLogical> I have several plugins in use. Do you mean the add-on?
[17:08] <emobathtub> iLogical: Add-on, rather. Should be able to go to their website and download a .xml or similar for the plugin, then you can right click it and open it in your text editor and there will be a line with allowed versions, change it to reflect your version number, bam.
[17:08] <emobathtub> And by plugin I mean add-on
[17:08] <GeminiDomino> L3Top: I do what I can. ;)
[17:08] <iLogical> emobathtub, ok
[17:09] <excalibr> saby: your point is? :D
[17:09] <iLogical> emobathtub, it's a .xpi :(
[17:10] <iLogical> I can't edit
[17:10] <saby> excalibr, when required nautilus does take super user privileges when it asks for your password
[17:10] <emobathtub> iLogical: File extensions mean nothing, right click it and try to open it in gedit
[17:10] <saby> as a user in ubuntu is added to the sudo group
[17:11] <iLogical> it crashed gedit
[17:12] <iLogical> or it's opening and taking a long time
[17:12] <emobathtub> iLogical: Hm. I forgot how to do it. It might be zipped or something. Try Googling "editing firefox add ons for versions"
[17:14] <akkara> test
[17:15] <GeminiDomino> ugh. This is a total pita...
[17:15] <excalibr> saby: i was actually asking *how* nautilus sometimes is able to mount drives/partition without requiring root priv just now. and i just found out that it probably uses udisks cmd to do that
[17:15] <ubuntu> hemant
[17:16] <Guest32962> ho
[17:16] <Guest32962> hi
[17:17] <GeminiDomino> excalibr: doesn't it also use fuse for that?
[17:17] <akkara> hi
[17:17] <iLogical> emobathtub, oh no. it workds for 13.0, 13.1, I have 12.0
[17:19] <threexk> hello.  Window list buttons are appearing as white for me, against the grey of the bottom bar, like they are always highlighted.  Does anyone know how to fix?
[17:19] <NotSoRandomUsern> I have a issue with resuming after being suspended for more than about 20 mins
[17:19] <NotSoRandomUsern> Anybody eel like helping?
[17:19] <emobathtub> iLogical: So modify it, and see if it works.
[17:19] <NotSoRandomUsern> *Anybody feel like helping?
[17:20] <NotSoRandomUsern> :(
[17:21] <GeminiDomino> Can I add a "spare" to the raid and then convert it to an active device?
[17:21] <excalibr> NotSoRandomUsern: what's the issue? just spit it out
[17:21] <threexk> nevermind my question.  Known bug that is on the verge of getting fixed.

[17:22] <vampirnata> anyone know how to check gpu temp in cli? I'm using sensors but it only gives 1 temp and i think it's the mainboard temp
[17:22] <ryanprior> How do you set up your Ubuntu calendar to pull in events from a Google calendar?
[17:22] <NotSoRandomUsern> vamp
[17:22] <NotSoRandomUsern> lm-sensors
[17:22] <vampirnata> i have that installed
[17:23] <NotSoRandomUsern> Hmmm
[17:23] <vampirnata> running it gives me only my core/motherboard temps
[17:23] <vampirnata> it's an atom processor
[17:23] <iLogical> emobathtub, I will just upgrade. Thanks!
[17:23] <vampirnata> with onboard intel gpu
[17:23] <NotSoRandomUsern> sensord?
[17:23] <ryanprior> vampirnata: lm-sensors should show you all the devices it has data for, if you aren't getting your gpu temps then you might need to fiddle with drivers or support just might not be there yet.
[17:23] <vampirnata> ahh right :/
[17:23] <reza> hey folks, i've got a server that is currently at a 5 minute load average of 10.00, how can i see what's causing the load? I've checked TOP and there is nothing that seems to be using all the cpu/ram/disk on the machine...normally it's around a load of 1.00.
[17:23] <emobathtub> iLogical: Sounds good :)
[17:24] <vampirnata> thanks :)

[17:24] <NotSoRandomUsern> Do you have backups
[17:24] <geekbri> I've got maveerick meerkat installed, and I'd like to install a package (monit) from precise... how would I go about doing that... just for that package and its dependencies
[17:24] <NotSoRandomUsern> configured
[17:24] <reza> yes i do
[17:24] <reza> well not ubuntu backups
[17:24] <Aptar> I want to begin learning how to be a developer for Ubuntu.  Can someone point me on the right path to start on?
[17:24] <reza> backups via rsync/mysqldump
[17:24] <NotSoRandomUsern> See how frequent it backs up
[17:24] <NotSoRandomUsern> And look at your sql querie
[17:24] <sipior> reza: what's the cpu usage line?
[17:24] <NotSoRandomUsern> And look at your sql query*
[17:25] <reza> cpu usage is under 10%
[17:25] <NotSoRandomUsern> See if your server has trouble staying ontop
[17:25] <reza> disk wait time under 15%
[17:25] <ryanprior> Aptar: are you new to software development in general or just looking for Ubuntu-specific info?
[17:25] <sipior> reza: including iowait?

[17:25] <reza> strange, nothing crashed or core dumped either
[17:26] <reza> brb gents
[17:26] <ryanprior> Aptar: I suggest reading Dive Into Python (http://www.diveintopython.net/) -- Python has first-class support in Ubuntu whether you want to write a game, a desktop app, a Unity lense, or whatever else. It also integrates with the Ubuntu-friendly "quickly" framework. Learning Python is a great first step and Dive Into Python is a very approachable introduction to software development and...
[17:26] <ryanprior> ...Python in particular.

[17:36] <IVM> hey what is the name of the themes that gives you different task bar again starts with C?
[17:37] <iLogical> emobathtub, guess what, I can't install the add-on because dayly 16.0b isn't compatible :(

[17:39] <MonkeyDust> philaneous  it's in the repos, you can easily install it
[17:39] <philaneous> MonkeyDust: i copied my domain to default because when someone typed www.domain.com it will give that default message then when they typed domain.com
[17:39] <philaneous> MonkeyDust: so domain.com will give them something different
[17:40] <takis_GR> i have a pc with ubuntu 10.04 installed. now cannot boot in. i have boot from live cd and try to mount /dev/sda1 in /mnt but pc freeze. try to kill mount but nothing.how can unfreeze pc and check or fix sda1?

[17:46] <Sharaak> Hey guys, first time here. Im a little new at linux and on the latest release 12.04 I have been having mouse troubles. Could anyone help me?
[17:46] <iLogical> how do I disable PPA from my repos?
[17:47] <Relondo> Also, how can I uninstall programs?
[17:47] <Relondo> sipior: I am on 64-Bit.
[17:47] <sipior> Relondo: keep reading.
[17:47] <Relondo> sipior: Alirght.
[17:47] <Relondo> *Alright.
[17:48] <littleTurtle> hey guys, I installed Ubuntu to my external HDD, and it has /boot/ and everything on it. However, it's not the first partition, so the MBR is currently empty. How do I correct this problem (IE: install grub to the first partition?)
[17:49] <xangua> !ppa-purge | iLogical
[17:49] <Relondo> sipior: Alright, I'll reboot and see what I can do. Will return.
[17:49] <sipior> Relondo: good luck
[17:50] <Qazjap11> Hi, sorry for doubling... I'm trying to configure pptp vpn in network manager: I can connect through the terminal, but when I configure it in the NM and try to connect, absolutely nothing happens. No ppp0 interface, no packets to dest in wireshark, no logs, no icon changing.. nothing...
[17:51] <ashima1> Hi..Can anyone help me with setting up my wifi...i downloaded the driver ralink 5390 for my hp g62 laptop
[17:51] <user___> hi
[17:51] <littleTurtle> I guess I should just move the sdd1 partition after deleting the Ubuntu one, and then reinstalling to the free space?
[17:51] <user___> exit
[17:51] <sk8|> ashima1, are you on 12.04?
[17:51] <ashima1> yes i am
[17:52] <sk8|> what's the issue?
[17:52] <sk8|> not connecting?
[17:52] <ashima1> it doesn't switch on the wireless for me
[17:52] <ashima1> and when i do ifconfig
[17:52] <ashima1> it doesn't show any wireless connections
[17:53] <sk8|> i've been battling it aswell
[17:53] <sk8|> i gave up on 12.04
[17:53] <sk8|> i tried for 2 weeks to get it working with no luck
[17:53] <MonkeyDust> sk8|  try iwconfig
[17:53] <Sharaak> I had problems with my mouse clicks as soon as I logged in
[17:53] <ashima1> i had version 10 before...and did some fixes and finally was able to fix it
[17:54] <sk8|> monkey1, there's something wrong with power management
[17:54] <sk8|> MonkeyDust,
[17:54] <Relondo> sipior: No such option.
[17:54] <ashima1> @sk8: so u weren't able to work it?
[17:54] <sk8|> no
[17:54] <sk8|> i got wirless working
[17:54] <sk8|> but only when plugged into to an AC source
[17:54] <ashima1> what wasn't working then?
[17:54] <sipior> Relondo: check your motherboard manual. you might be stuck with the situation, i'm sorry to say.
[17:54] <ashima1> ohhh
[17:54] <sk8|> when running on battery power wireless would not work
[17:54] <ashima1> my ethernet works
[17:55] <ashima1> ohh wierd
[17:55] <Relondo> sipior: Where would I find my motherboard manual? Should that have shipped with my laptop?
[17:55] <sk8|> something with power management is shutting the wifi card down
[17:55] <ashima1> i am running on ac power too
[17:55] <dlong> Anybody here been able to use the remote access feature of the Watch ESPN web site?  I can't get it to work with Ubuntu, but can on other operating systems.
[17:55] <sipior> Relondo: probably not :-) but a quick google search on the make and model should turn up a fair bit.
[17:56] <Relondo> sipior: Alright.
[17:56] <ashima1> i have a button which enables and disables wireless
[17:56] <ashima1> but it doesn't seem to work
[17:56] <ircnode0> somebody know a command that I can get parent name? e.g. magic_command /folder/subfolder/file.mp3 ==output==> subfolder?
[17:59] <Relondo> sipior: A search for "toshiba satellite l775d motherboard manual" returned nothing. I got an Archlinux article that would have been useful a week ago, but nothing mentioning RAM problems.
[18:00] <sipior> Relondo: try the toshiba site.
[18:00] <Relondo> sipior: Why don't I think of these things myself?
[18:02] <oCean> ircnode0: only with a combination of commands, for example   dirname /one/two/three.txt | cut -d/ -f3   or even    basename $(dirname /one/two/three)
[18:05] <oozbooz> I've installed 12.04 on server MB w/out sound chip, later I've added ASUS DGX sound card ... but failed to make it work
[18:05] <oozbooz> any suggestions ? thanks
[18:06] <joydog> q
[18:06] <oozbooz> lspci show the card, but aplay -l does not
[18:06] <Relondo>  sipior: All I've found is a Detailed Specs PDF. What am I looking for, anyway?
[18:07] <sipior> Relondo: the manual for the mainboard of your laptop. at this point, consider calling toshiba directly, or the folks you bought the thing from.
[18:07] <Relondo> sipior: Well, Toshiba won't give me any Ubuntu support.
[18:08] <sipior> Relondo: you don't need to mention ubuntu at any point of the conversation.
[18:08] <Relondo> sipior: (And I don't have this problem on Windows 7).
[18:08] <alchemist9> oozbooz: have you tryed sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-base?
[18:08] <Relondo> sipior: Okay. Well, I was asking what I'm looking for inside the manual.
[18:08] <ircnode0> oCean: your script is really close, but I don't actually know how deep file is.
[18:08] <oozbooz> alchemist9: no
[18:08] <SanDarC> hello, please help me
[18:09] <sipior> Relondo: you're looking to see if there is a memory remapping option in the bios.
[18:09] <fidel> !ask > SanDarC
[18:09] <oozbooz> alchemist9: thanks, I will
[18:09] <Relondo> sipior: Okay.
[18:09] <sipior> Relondo: i need to be on my way. good luck sorting it out.
[18:09] <Relondo> sipior: Yeah, thanks :)
[18:10] <ircnode0> oCean: like it can be folder1/folder2/.../foldern/file.type
[18:10] <SanDarC> fidel thanx, but i have a little problem after i have done installation ubuntu 12.04lts when booting it shows: symbol not found grubdiv64
[18:10] <oozbooz> alchemist9: aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found... should I reboot the system
[18:11] <alchemist9> oozbooz: you can try it may detect it my only other advice is to compile the driver the old fasion way
[18:12] <fidel> SanDarC: never had that issue - but searching for that error gave tons of result - one which isnt THAt outdated might be woth a look: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1735231.html
[18:12] <Nerf_Jihad> oozbooz: do you have a livecd you can use?
[18:13] <oozbooz> Nerf_Jihad: yes I do
[18:13] <Nerf_Jihad> oozbooz: the zealous autoconfig might generate a working config you can use
[18:14] <oozbooz> which files shold be responsible for the sound config?
[18:14] <SanDarC> fidel can u help me please i am newbie
[18:15] <fidel> SanDarC: have you seen my last comment with the link?
[18:16] <oozbooz> Nerf_Jihad: which files should be responsible for the sound config?
[18:16] <SanDarC> fidel yes but not the same message :(
[18:16] <Lartza> Note, selecting 'python-setuptools' instead of 'python-distribute' why??
[18:16] <fidel> SanDarC: afaik thats the error you reported - but well then ignore my comment and reask the channel - in best case a bit more detailed then last time.
[18:17] <Nerf_Jihad_> oozbooz: off the top of my head, I'm not 100% sure. If your sound works on the liveCD, someone a little more familiar with the process might be able to help. I'm consulting the oracle now
[18:17] <SanDarC> fidel i dont have windows install just ubuntu 12.04lts
[18:17] <fidel> SanDarC: you still have grub
[18:17] <takis_GR> where can i upload two images with errors??
[18:17] <fidel> takis_GR: imagebin.org or something similar is an option
[18:18] <SanDarC> fidel i dont know if i have grub or not? sorry
[18:19] <vampirnata> I'm having some difficulty checking GPU temp. I've installed lm-sensors, run sensors-detect, answerering YES to all, and it only added smsc47m1 and coretemp.  I checked out OwnCloud, but I'm having some issues with it, so I'm looking for alternatives to scout the area. Is there anything else out there worth checking into?
[18:22] <vampirnata> roasted: OwnCloud is great. I would recommend taking another shot at it.
[18:22] <ircnode0> oCean: haven't learnt bash yet, because the syntax is somehow crazy. thanks anyway.
[18:23] <roasted> vampirnata: I'm having a heckuva time logging in to it. It keeps saying something about the mysql user. Have you seen this?
[18:23] <Nerf_Jihad> roasted: OwnCloud is pretty sweet. It's well worth the effort
[18:23] <morsnowski> roasted, what do you need. just a file drop or email  ...
[18:23] <Nerf_Jihad> roasted: what's the error say?
[18:23] <roasted> morsnowski: Dropbox, but on my own personal box. That's basically it.
[18:24] <vampirnata> roasted: make sure your mysql is set up correctly?
[18:24] <roasted> MySQL enter the database username. MySQL enter the database name.
[18:24] <morsnowski> just get one of the content management systems
[18:24] <i7c> is there something to make continuous backups like that "time machine" thing for mac os?
[18:24] <roasted> vampirnata: is it needed to set up mysql independently?
[18:24] <nextum678> hi, how to install e.q. wine silently?
[18:24] <roasted> vampirnata: it asked me mysql related info during the installer, so I thought that part was done
[18:24] <vampirnata> it probably wanted your mysql details
[18:25] <vampirnata> you should slow down and read what it asks ;)
[18:25] <roasted> vampirnata: I... I am. I'm sitting at a login screen here.
[18:25] <roasted> vampirnata: I googled the error and other users were having the same thing, whcih made me think maybe I'm seeing a bug
[18:25] <vampirnata> okay, let me check
[18:25] <Nerf_Jihad> i7c: yeah, it's called Dejadup
[18:26] <roasted> vampirnata: put it this way - when you set up owncloud, did you set up any sort of mysql stuff externally? Like did you install and set up a database, THEN install owncloud?
[18:26] <Nerf_Jihad> i7c: an rsync is fine too
[18:26] <sacarlson> roasted: you were asked what is it you need to have online on your site,  just share files or ?/
[18:26] <oozbooz> Nerf_Jihad: no ... it is production system, have to wait for the window to work on it...
[18:26] <roasted> sacarlson: I answered. I basically want dropbox... but on my own personal server, so yeah, basically.
[18:26] <vampirnata> roasted: http://tinyurl.com/bwchu35
[18:26] <i7c> Nerf_Jihad: i'll read a little about it. thx for the hint
[18:27] <roasted> vampirnata: that's not the error I get.
[18:27] <roasted> vampirnata: did you set up your database prior to installing owncloud?
[18:27] <vampirnata> i already had a working mysql
[18:27] <vampirnata> never had that error
[18:27] <sacarlson> roasted: oh sorry I didn't even know what dropbox was but see it's just a file shareing web site
[18:28] <Nerf_Jihad_> i7c: dejadup does encrypted, compressed differential backups as files change, rsync is the tried-and-true method used by the grey-bearded ones
[18:29] <fulcan> How does ubutu install to a file on an ntfs partition? A friend just showed me his dual boot windows system and fsisk -l shows sda1 sda2 as a normal Linux instal on 'NTFS'? but no signs of is widows partition at all. reboot the machine into windows and it show a 20 gig file (his ubuntu installation) and that is it. this make no sense to me. can someone expain.
[18:29] <sacarlson> roasted: I did install some php package that was like filemanager that each user controled his own files but not sure they could set others to see them
[18:29] <xangua> !wubi | you mean wubi¿
[18:29] <roasted> i7c: deja dup is based on duplicity, a command line backup utility. duplicity is based on rsync. So by using deja dup, you're indirectly using rsync as well.
[18:31] <tom___> hey, i'm trying to install ubuntu server 12 from usb, but after the keyboard selection it says that i can't find the cd rom, what do i do?
[18:31] <vampirnata> roasted: did you install owncloud with apt-get or as per instructions on their website?
[18:31] <wo0f> tom___, what are you using to burn your usb?
[18:32] <tom___> unetbootin
[18:32] <roasted> vampirnata: apt-get
[18:32] <vampirnata> roasted: okay i'm doing it now on a fresh ubuntu vm
[18:32] <vampirnata> with no mysql
[18:32] <taddle> Hi
[18:32] <taddle> I'm having port problems
[18:33] <taddle> I'm setting a minecraft classic server, 800craft running on mono
[18:33] <sacarlson> taddle: then doc that boat at the other port
[18:33] <cndiv> hey everyone, I have a broad question. If my work wifi network works fine with most machines, but a few have spotty reception, how do I begin to troubleshoot that?
[18:33] <vampirnata> roasted: when you are at the login, click the dropdown "advanced"
[18:33] <cndiv> assume every machine is running 12.04
[18:34] <cndiv> and is up to date
[18:34] <roasted> vampirnata: I did. Then what?
[18:34] <vampirnata> what does it say there...
[18:34] <taddle> I've forwarded, disable ufw, but it still tells me another program is using every port
[18:34] <roasted> vampirnata: data folder, db user, db pw, etc
[18:34] <vampirnata> roasted: so therefore? :)
[18:35] <roasted> vampirnata: am I putting in new info? Or am I putting in info from a previously setup sql database?
[18:35] <sacarlson> cndiv: can't you see the signal level in network-manager or wicd to see if wifi signal is low or not?
[18:35] <vampirnata> you will need to set up a mysql database
[18:35] <roasted> vampirnata: okay, that's what the documentation was lacking then.
[18:35] <vampirnata> i saw it said that it can use sqlite, but when you drop down advanced it says mysql will be used
[18:35] <vampirnata> either way you will need a database
[18:35] <roasted> vampirnata: any guides to setting up mysql db/user?
[18:36] <vampirnata> google ubuntu mysql :)
[18:36] <roasted> vampirnata: I thought that was the point of it asking for a mysql root pw when you set up owncloud. I thought it did its own thing.
[18:36] <roasted> vampirnata: been there.  I'm not sure what exactly I need for this instance.
[18:36] <roasted> vampirnata: I assume just a blank db and a user?
[18:36] <taddle> anybody got an idea for me?
[18:36] <roasted> vampirnata: just makes no sense it wouldn't be tagged to set up mysql AS you set up owncloud. Several other apps I've used do this.
[18:37] <vampirnata> try this
[18:37] <sacarlson> taddle: might it require sudo to run?
[18:37] <amok> how do i start a shell with another programming running in it...mc and aterm ?
[18:37] <vampirnata> roasted: do you have mysql installed though?
[18:38] <vampirnata> roasted: i think you may have
[18:38] <roasted> vampirnata: yes, it came installed when I installed owncloud
[18:38] <vampirnata> roasted: then use root user and the password you set. name the database something and click finish
[18:38] <IVM> where can i download cario?
[18:38] <vampirnata> just did it on a fresh install, worked
[18:39] <alchemist9> amok: open another terminal window? or if your using console hit alt+Fkey ...
[18:39] <vampirnata> roasted: going to watch the football now. good luck :)
[18:39] <roasted> thanks
[18:40] <morsnowski> vampirnata,  exactly "go on you boys in green!"
[18:40] <amok> no alchemist9, i want midnightcommand running in the desktop background of my fluxbox
[18:40] <octaviordz> any one here following (trying to) Ubuntu App Developer Showdown Workshops? youtube link is down? (or just me)
[18:41] <taddle> (sarcasticly) thanks for all your help!
[18:41] <ikonia> taddle: welcome, take care
[18:41] <sacarlson> taddle:  well you didn't even answer my question
[18:42] <sacarlson> taddle: thanks for beings so responsive
[18:42] <taddle> I wasn't asked a question, was I?
[18:42] <sacarlson> 01:36:35 AM) taddle: anybody got an idea for me?
[18:42] <donvito> hello, im using ubuntu 12.04 desktop edition and im connection in internet through wireles wifi dongle, everytime when my router disconects my wifi doesnt connect automaticaly it asks me to join on the network , how can i make the internet connection became automatically and conects on the router automatically
[18:42] <taddle> sacarlson, yes, I said that
[18:43] <alchemist9> amok: then ctrl+x should background the program or use screen the options are yours...
[18:43] <takis_GR> i am back. this is the error screen. http://imagebin.org/216955
[18:43] <taddle> I asked YOU a question, not vice versa
[18:43] <pulse00> hi all. anyone knows how to install the time executable? i'm running a munin script which needs this executable instead of the bash time command
[18:44] <ryanprior> taddle: He asked if maybe you should use sudo. Not a very helpful question, as the answer is obviously no, but yeah, that's up in the chat log.
[18:44] <taddle> Tried with and without
[18:45] <cndiv> sacarlson, I'm actually not familiar with that. What if I look and the sigal is low on one machine but high on another and they are both running up to date 12.04?
[18:45] <ryanprior> taddle: No idea why your game won't run, but I do know that getting snarky with the channel is counterproductive. The folks here are volunteers and are eager to provide answers when they can.
[18:45] <donvito> hello, im using ubuntu 12.04 desktop edition and im connection in internet through wireles wifi dongle, everytime when my router disconects my wifi doesnt connect automaticaly it asks me to join on the network , how can i make the internet connection became automatically and conects on the router automatically
[18:45] <lbbef> Hi! I couldn't boot into ubuntu live cd, so i went to downloaded a few12.04 x64 cd images from ubuntu.com and checked the md5 and CRC. Out of 7 images, only 2 had the same hash, the rest were completely different. Any idea why?
[18:45] <ryanprior> taddle: I suggest trying back in an hour, see if anybody with different knowledge is around then.
[18:46] <taddle> ryanprior, to be honest, I don't know why I came
[18:46] <craigbass1976> is there a way to look again at the list of updates that I installed this morning?
[18:46] <taddle> I've never had good experiences here
[18:46] <craigbass1976> taddle, what are you afteR?
[18:46] <takis_GR> i am back. this is the error screen. http://imagebin.org/216955
[18:46] <taddle> To find out why ubuntu is telling all game servers all ports are in use
[18:46] <taddle> when clearly, they're not
[18:47] <taddle> I checked netstat
[18:47] <sacarlson> cndiv: there will be a point where the wifi signal will be too low to get all the packets you need,  you might experiment to find out what that level is before the bandwidth is too low to use
[18:49] <taddle> Any idea why ubuntu would claim ports are being used to applications
[18:49] <donvito> hello, im using ubuntu 12.04 desktop edition and im connection in internet through wireles wifi dongle, everytime when my router disconects my wifi doesnt connect automaticaly it asks me to join on the network , how can i make the internet connection became automatically and conects on the router automatically
[18:49] <taddle> but tells me they're not
[18:49] <sacarlson> taddle: port forwarding set on router?
[18:49] <taddle> yes
[18:50] <sacarlson> taddle:  checked netstat -pant; and said what?
[18:50] <kRush> anyone have a xhat script that blocks those stupid 'we' queries I'm getting in here?
[18:51] <alchemist9> lbbef: somthing is corrupting your downloads, as long as the md5 and crc match it's a good image to burn
[18:51] <craigbass1976> Oh wait... is /var/log/apt/history.log a list of what got upgraded in any given session ?
[18:51] <sacarlson> kRush: I'm getting alot of those lately also
[18:51] <choppyfireballs> Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me troubleshoot why xl2tpd will not start up

[18:52] <taddle> if you saw a smiley, it shouldn't have been
[18:52] <ryanprior> Ask away, choppyfireballs. If anybody knows the answer they will chime in. :-)

[18:58] <craigbass1976> Is there a way to roll back one of the packages that got updated this morning?
[18:59] <takis_GR> by default smb.conf use workgroup.
[18:59] <takis_GR> *name=workgroup
[18:59] <matthewlawson3> the name of the network is the same as the Windows PCs and they can see each other and access each other while my hostname is Ubuntu
[19:00] <astronaut> Hello. Is there a python library for encoding data into QR-code, available from Ubuntu 12.04 archive?
[19:00] <matthewlawson3> But when I change the hostname Windows cannot see the Linux machine anymore

[19:01] <takis_GR> i have  this error boot screen. http://imagebin.org/216955 who can help me??
[19:01] <trism> astronaut: python-qrencode it seems
[19:01] <OerHeks> profiler1982, wubi is inside windows, not the real experience.
[19:01] <D3RGPS31> my laptop's keyboard and mouse work during init, but stop working after in tty and x :l attaching a keyboard and mouse through usb works though; asus 1215n-pu17
[19:01] <alchemist9> profiler1982: a wubi install will install a loop mounted disk image a regular install will install to the hard disk directly..
[19:02] <ryanprior> astronaut: doesn't look like it, but you can install the python-pip package and then use the pip package manager to install the qrcode library.
[19:02] <astronaut> trism: Thanks, I'll try.
[19:02] <profiler1982> i know  that. there are any other differense
[19:03] <takis_GR> i have  this error boot screen. http://imagebin.org/216955 who can help me??
[19:03] <OerHeks> profiler1982, are there?
[19:03] <ryanprior> astronaut: or looks like trism found something good :-)
[19:03] <matthewlawson3> Anyone? My Windows Pcs are on the same network as my Ubuntu machine and they can access the Linux machine as long as the host name stays Ubuntu. When I change the hostname, however, then the Windows machine does not recognize the name change and does not access the machine, even after I restart it. Any ideas?
[19:03] <alchemist9> profiler1982: there isn't a suspend to disk mode in a wubi install..
[19:03] <profiler1982> am not find any
[19:03] <craigbass1976> Is there some equivalent to apt-get rollback?
[19:04] <OerHeks> no craigbass1976, unfortunatly
[19:04] <profiler1982> am using wubi several mounths
[19:04] <LjL> craigbass1976: no
[19:04] <craigbass1976> OerHeks, Balls...  Even for a single package?
[19:04] <profiler1982> bad eanglish sorry
[19:04] <LjL> craigbass1976: for a single package you can try doing apt-get install packagename=versionnumber
[19:04] <profiler1982> and i am first time here
[19:05] <matthewlawson3> How can I get Windows to resolve my new Ubuntu host name?
[19:05] <taddle> any info for me?
[19:06] <alchemist9> Nerf_Jihad: I don't think chatzilla likes to stay connected..
[19:06] <craigbass1976> LjL, any idea how I'd find my last version number?  I'm dealing with Oracle java.  I'm on build 1.7.0_05-b05 at the moment, but don't know what I was on a couple of hours ago.
[19:06] <LjL> craigbass1976: maybe you can find out from /var/log/dpkg.log
[19:06] <ryanprior> craigbass1976: check your dpkg log?
[19:06] <profiler1982> suspend to disc is working am using it. hibernacion is not
[19:06] <Meridious> matthewlawson3 what version on windows?
[19:07] <matthewlawson3> Meridious, Windows 7
[19:07] <profiler1982> write-read speed is slowly then normal instal
[19:08] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file should contain those resolutions
[19:08] <profiler1982> buta on saus eee pc on normal install apu temprature is 75
[19:08] <matthewlawson3> Meridious, My Windows Pcs are on the same network as my Ubuntu machine and they can access the Linux machine as long as the host name stays Ubuntu. When I change the hostname, however, then the Windows machine does not recognize the name change and does not access the machine, even after I restart it. Any ideas?
[19:08] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: you could add an entry to that
[19:08] <profiler1982> on wubi same
[19:08] <profiler1982> why so high
[19:08] <craigbass1976> On 6/14 I've got: oracle-java7-installer 7u5-0~webupd8~3 and today I've got oracle-java7-installer 7u5-0~webupd8~5.  Would I install 1.7.0_05-b03?
[19:08] <takis_GR> i have  this error boot screen. http://imagebin.org/216955 who can help me??
[19:09] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: adding a hostname resolution to a windows host file is pretty similar to adding one in ubuntu
[19:09] <matthewlawson3> ok I'll try it, hang on
[19:11] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: tell me if that works. If not, try entering ipconfig /flushdns into a cmd prompt
[19:11] <takis_GR> i have  this error boot screen. http://imagebin.org/216955 who can help me??
[19:12] <alchemist9> profiler1982: if need be you can install ubuntu on a usb HDD to solve the write speed delay, or even dual booting ubuntu with whatever version of windows you are running but if it's not broke don't mess with it :)
[19:12] <matthewlawson3> Meridious this is the first time I have edited hosts file in Windows. Where do I need to put the new line?
[19:13] <Meridious> i am 90% sure that the format is identical to *nix systems. Let me check on that
[19:14] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: the format is exactly the same. just put a new line with  <IP> <HOSTNAME>
[19:14] <matthewlawson3> Ok I just changed the host name in the linux machine to test this
[19:15] <matthewlawson3> Do I need to restart the machine before I test?
[19:15] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: doubt it
[19:15] <matthewlawson3> ok
[19:15] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: couldnt hurt though
[19:15] <matthewlawson3> how do I access the ip of this  computer via terminal?
[19:15] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: win or *nix
[19:16] <dysun> hi guys
[19:16] <dysun> i'm a linux noob
[19:16] <Meridious> hi there dysun!
[19:16] <dysun> do you have any good reading recommendations for me
[19:16] <dysun> to understand linux better
[19:16] <profiler1982> delay is not problem, there is not any
[19:16] <Meridious> sure do.
[19:16] <Meridious> one sec
[19:16] <profiler1982> but other people sa that
[19:17] <Meridious> dysun, http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/lpi/
[19:17] <Meridious> read over this stuff
[19:17] <takis_GR> i have  this error boot screen. http://imagebin.org/216955 who can help me??
[19:17] <profiler1982> am testing 11.10 wubi and 12.04 normal
[19:17] <profiler1982> is slice difference
[19:17] <Meridious> dysun: it will show you the basics
[19:18] <matthewlawson3> Meridious going to restart brb
[19:18] <dysun> Meridious: ok thanks for the recommendation
[19:18] <Meridious> dysun, if you want more, i have a decent cheat sheet i can pastebin
[19:18] <dysun> Meridious: sure. anything i can get my hands on
[19:19] <dysun> Meridious: it's just confusing with all the distros so i'm just trying out ubuntu
[19:19] <lily> hi
[19:20] <lupintheethird> how do you configure remmina remote desktop?
[19:20] <Meridious> dysun: ubuntu is a good starting place.
[19:21] <lupintheethird> actually i have a new issue with ubuntu, some reason windows get stuck like right now i cannot close out of this window, and the menu comes up but i cannot click on anything
[19:22] <Meridious> dysun: here is a cheat sheet i put together for a friend of mine
[19:22] <Meridious> dysun: http://pastebin.com/b8c8L2t9
[19:22] <lupintheethird> any ideas?
[19:23] <dysun> Meridious: cool thanks again for the help!
[19:23] <Meridious> dysun: no problem! I hope you grow to love linux as much as the rest of us
[19:23] <zykotick9> Meridious: "When you do get proficient at using VI, you become unstoppable." love it ;)
[19:24] <Meridious> zykotick9: lol its true
[19:24] <lupintheethird> does anyone know what would cause mouse clicking to become randomly inactive but still have control over my mouse
[19:25] <lupintheethird> it seems if i alt-tab and switch windows it resets something
[19:25] <Meridious> lupinthethird: sounds like your OS froze. Just log out and log back in is how i normally fix it
[19:25] <Meridious> lupinthethird: also, i love that show
[19:26] <lupintheethird> Meridious, it is great :)  , and the os didn't actually freeze just mouse clicking
[19:26] <lupintheethird> Meridious, and if i alt-tab change windows it comes back
[19:26] <lupintheethird> or if i press super i can get the menu but again no clicking
[19:26] <alchemist9> I wonder if it's possible to have a dual-screen console...
[19:27] <Meridious> lupinthethird: it may be a window selection thing. When your mouse freezes, are you clicking an applet or something like that?
[19:27] <lupintheethird> Meridious, now that i'm looking into it, when i over over an icon in the menu it doesnt even highlight
[19:27] <lupintheethird> Meridious, i dont think so?
[19:28] <Meridious> lupinthethird: i dont know how to fix that
[19:28] <Meridious> lupinthethird: its probably just a bug in unity
[19:29] <lupintheethird> Meridious, okay and do you know if installing cinnamon still messes things up?
[19:29] <matthewlawson3> Meridious I flushed DNS as well and still it is not changing the name. I cannot access the Linux machine on the Windows side however
[19:30] <conley> My startup is taking longer than usual after my latest update... what log files should I check for information?
[19:31] <Meridious> lupinthethird: each WM has its own idiosyncracies
[19:31] <Meridious> lupinthethird: but cinnimon is great. I am actually using it at the moment
[19:31] <AutoMatrix> Good evening fols
[19:31] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: hmmm
[19:31] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: I am running out of ideas :P
[19:31] <lupintheethird> Meridious, hmm do you have a proper way to install it without messing up anything else in ubuntu?
[19:32] <matthewlawson3> ok
[19:32] <kdmurray> Hi there -- I'm wondering if anyone can help with this question. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to have a specific USB flash drive auto-mount to a specific folder when its attached to the system. The system is running Ubuntu 12.04 server, no GUI, headless.
[19:32] <matthewlawson3> I'll figure it out
[19:32] <matthewlawson3> Thanks though
[19:32] <AutoMatrix> hello people I got around here, please excuse if I do not strictly follow the rules, for the moment ;)
[19:32] <conley> kdmurray: You could write a little script
[19:32] <Meridious> lupinthethird: http://www.unixmen.com/howto-install-cinnamon-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[19:32] <hardworking> can someone help me .. please ?
[19:33] <lupintheethird> Meridious, good deal
[19:33] <conley> hardworking: what's wrong?
[19:33] <lupintheethird> Meridious, is that for the 1.4 up3?
[19:33] <AutoMatrix> As I have a Scammer on the hook of my fishing line, I wonder if somebody could help me to catch it and how ?
[19:33] <Meridious> matthewlawson3: sorry I could not be of more help
[19:33] <cannedheat> #bash
[19:33] <AutoMatrix> maybe send me the link of another site ?
[19:33] <hardworking> conley:  hello, I have the following setup:  host OS(ubuntu) , guest OS(windows7). Under guest OS I have a VPN client running. How can I make VPN stuff accesible through the host OS(Ubuntu) ? host OS has localnet ip-> <IP_ADDRESS>    and guest OS has 3 interfaces:     <IP_ADDRESS>  ,      <IP_ADDRESS>,   <IP_ADDRESS>   .... How do I do this ?
[19:33] <Pici> AutoMatrix: What does that have to do with Ubuntu?
[19:33] <Meridious> lupinthethird: yes, or whatever is the most recent release
[19:34] <kdmurray> conley: Is there some kind of unique identifier that the USB devices would have that I could key off in the script?
[19:34] <Pici> !ot | AutoMatrix
[19:34] <AutoMatrix> Pici,  since I'm an ubuntu User ther could e a utility for my favourite distro
[19:34] <lupintheethird> Meridious, installing down thanks man
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> hardworking  set NAT to bridged, to make a logical bridge to your eisting network
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> existing*
[19:35] <conley> kdmurray: Well, there's UUID :)
[19:35] <Jordan_U> kdmurray: You could use the filesystem UUID (assuming that they're not going to write a new filesystem to the drive).
[19:35] <korsakof> hi everybody. I use acl to allow users to access /var/www/site1. but when the user1 create a new file, user1 is set as the owner of that file. Is there a way to force www-data to be the "unix" owner of the file?
[19:35] <AutoMatrix> tx Pici , I'm a bit further now, exept if you have hot another interesting thing for me ?? the name of a program or another link ?
[19:36] <hardworking> MonkeyDust: if I set it to Bridged then internet won't work anymore on the VM
[19:36] <MonkeyDust> hardworking  it's how i make it work in my virtual machines - have you tried?
[19:37] <hardworking> MonkeyDust: I'm gonna re-try
[19:37] <kdmurray> conley: OK, that works. I'll do some more digging. Would I be correct in assuming that the auto-mount in /media only works if you're in a graphical shell, and not from the CLI?
[19:37] <Pici> AutoMatrix: catching scammers doesn't have anything to do with channel, and frankly I don't know how there could be an application to help you do that.  If you want advice, I've already pointed you to a more appropriate channel.
[19:37] <kdmurray> Jordan_U: thanks for the tip.
[19:37] <baazigar> Hello, I have a game in c++/qt and i want to make it public so that it shows up on ubuntu software center and people can download it easily by sudo apt-get install. What is the procedure to do that?
[19:38] <Jordan_U> kdmurray: You're welcome.
[19:38] <Meridious> baazigar: http://developer.ubuntu.com/2012/02/how-to-prepare-a-compiled-application-for-ubuntu-software-center/
[19:38] <MonkeyDust> baazigar  create a ppa and hope someone picks it up
[19:38] <conley> kdmurray: It's tied to gnome somehow. As far as I know, it's tied to the file manager, so you would be correct. But I'm sure there are cli programs that automount as well
[19:39] <MonkeyDust> baazigar  you may have put a vicious piece of code in it, so canonical won't accept it without testing
[19:39] <baazigar> MonkeyDust : what does picking up mean? and who does that?
[19:39] <baazigar> cannonical people?
[19:39] <MonkeyDust> baazigar  make it available somewhere, a blog or so
[19:39] <baazigar> and what if someone steals my code?
[19:39] <lupintheethird> Meridious, so far so good with the cinnamon install
[19:40] <MonkeyDust> baazigar  stealing is impossible, as it is GPL
[19:40] <korsakof> :)
[19:40] <Meridious> lupinthethird: glad to hear. I moved my toolbar up top though. felt weird with it on the bottom
[19:40] <conley> Also, icons just showed up on my desktop with the latest update... is this some unity setting or something?
[19:40] <baazigar> I mean  takes away my credit
[19:41] <baazigar> and puts it up under his name
[19:41] <MonkeyDust> baazigar  that's against the FOSS philosophy
[19:41] <lupintheethird> Meridious, just did that myself haha
[19:41] <fraterm> Someone stealth-forks it.
[19:42] <Lammerix> ?
[19:43] <MonkeyDust> baazigar  but better discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:43] <lupintheethird> Meridious, just set the top panel to 22 pixels looks nice, do you know a way to set the title bars to not have huge font and be so thick?
[19:43] <Lammerix> is this already a channel?
[19:44] <Pici> Lammerix: This? You're in the official Ubuntu support channel.
[19:44] <HardFu> i installed hearbeat on a ubuntu box, no problems when I run it,... but if i do crm_mon -1 i get: Connection to cluster failed: connection failed
[19:44] <baazigar> MonkeyDust : what do people get by opensourcing their code? even if the credits are snatched?
[19:44] <Lammerix> oh, haven't seen this kind of irc program... couldn't even see the users
[19:45] <MonkeyDust> baazigar  type /join #ubuntu-offtopic to find out
[19:45] <baazigar> MonkeyDust : joined
[19:45] <Meridious> not sure right now
[19:45] <roasted> OKAY, I'm back. After a continued headache with owncloud, I'm STILL looking for alternatives to it. Anybody?
[19:46] <Meridious> you could always modify the system fonts somewhere....
[19:46] <Lammerix> is there a channel for starters? i don't want to bother profis with my (for them stupid) question
[19:46] <ki4ro> anyone have any experience with the rotating cube?  Can't seem to get it going here
[19:46] <Meridious> Lammerix: #ubuntu-beginners
[19:47] <Meridious> Lammerix: but its usually vacant

[19:56] <takis_GR> i have  this error boot screen. http://imagebin.org/216955 who can help me??

[19:57] <leprechau> takis_GR, it can't find your root filesystem
[19:57] <leprechau> what have you done to it lately?
[19:58] <takis_GR> and what can i do??

[19:59] <passov> thank
[20:00] <leprechau> takis_GR, have you tried rebooting it?

[20:01] <lerp> Hello, In sound settings there is an extra sound device "Built-in Audio" which keeps getting selected as the default sound device, however when this device is selected my sound doesn't work. I can select the other device and sound works fine. How can I stop my sound device from being changed or better yet remove the erroneous device that's showing up?
[20:01] <leprechau> well he has done something to it ... messed with the grub config or something it can't find the root fs
[20:02] <Rook> I think my laptop has a rootkit from its days as a Windows™ PC (that's what the antivirus claimed back when it had Windows™ XP on it).  When I try to install Ubuntu, the bootloader doesn't get installed.
[20:02] <leprechau> takis_GR, your best bet is going to be booting from a livecd to fix it
[20:02] <takis_GR> i have boot with live cd.
[20:02] <takis_GR> what can i do to fix it??
[20:02] <leprechau> takis_GR, you'll need to reinstall grub and re-generate the grub config
[20:03] <takis_GR> can you tell me how because now i am confused
[20:03] <takis_GR> grub-install /dev/sda?
[20:05] <Lammerix> okay, no ones talk in beginners channel
[20:05] <triad> ?
[20:05] <Lammerix> or they don't know how to restore grub after playing with it many hours
[20:05] <Lammerix> any experts of grub?
[20:06] <zykotick9> Rook: verify that there isn't an anti-virus setting in bios - if it's enabled, it will prevent MBR installs
[20:06] <Lammerix> GRUB 2.04 is gone, any help?
[20:06] <Meridious> reinstall
[20:06] <Rook> No AV setting in BIOS.  I checked thoroughly.
[20:06] <Meridious> no clue how grub works...
[20:06] <schultza> is there any way to check when a user was logged in for a time frame on linux?
[20:07] <ssta> last?
[20:07] <jeremiah> what is the channel for ubuntu 12.04?
[20:07] <schultza> he didnt record his hours last week and needs login times
[20:07] <ssta> jeremiah: this one
[20:07] <zykotick9> jeremiah: this one
[20:07] <jeremiah> ok.
[20:07] <ssta> schultza: last

[20:07] <Meridious> schultza: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-display-date-and-time-of-login/
[20:07] <Jordan_U> Lammerix: GRUB 2.04 hasn't been released yet (we're still on 1.99), what problem are you specifically having?
[20:07] <takis_GR> when try to mount /dev/sda1 then terminal freeze
[20:07] <leprechau> takis_GR, first you are going to want to make sure you have mounted your disk ... if you're using lvm or something you'll  have to import those as well
[20:08] <Meridious> schultza: http://bit.ly/MomLDd
[20:08] <Lammerix> Jordan_U it's a beta. I guess it came with Fedora
[20:08] <leprechau> takis_GR, then you'll want to chroot to your root fs ... grub-install --no-floppy /dev/sda .... then ... grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:08] <leprechau> or: update-grub on ubuntu
[20:09] <schultza> thanks.. it helps
[20:09] <Jordan_U> Lammerix: 2.00 beta4 then (not 2.04). What probelm are you having? Are you dual booting Ubuntu and Fedora?
[20:09] <Rook> Is it possible that this computer doesn't have a rootkit, but that the version of GRUB that comes with Ubuntu 12.04 is too new for the BIOS to use?
[20:09] <jeremiah> I am having graphics card driver problems. Ubuntu does not recognize it, even though when i type lspci it brings it up in the list. I have a Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI M64-S [Mobility Radeon X2300]
[20:09] <jeremiah>  could someone tell me how to get drivers for it?
[20:09] <Meridious> Rook: possible, but highly unlikely
[20:10] <takis_GR> i cant mount partition sda1
[20:10] <Rook> It boots from the CD, just not from the SSD.
[20:10] <korsakof> Lammerix: maybe you could try to fix grub with the rescatux livecd..

[20:12] <korsakof> So the only way is to make a cron the chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www every 5 minutes? ugly!
[20:12] <kuser> hi all. problems with kde and gtk apps... is there a master? :)
[20:13] <mfilipe> what is the best solution to calendar in Ubuntu? I want something integrate with default clock calendar
[20:13] <kuser> i installed "kde-config-gtk" and "gtk2-engines-oxygen", set "oxygen-gtk" in "application appearance"....
[20:13] <Lammerix> OKAY, here's what I've done. first I installed Fedora with its grub 2 beta. It worked fine. Then i instlled Ubuntu 12.04 and the grub 1.99 came with it. so I had 2 grubs. 2 beta was the first one booting. it hasn't recognized Ubuntu. But 1.99 did recognize all OSs(I closed the 2 beta to see 1.99). after playing with 2 beta with grub customizer I lost it. Now I have only 1.99 with no Fedora in it!!! it just gone.
[20:13] <kuser> but gtk apps still looks ugly
[20:14] <Jordan_U> Lammerix: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo update-grub" from Ubuntu?
[20:15] <siverpro> anyone know why using nvidia-current on my system renders it completely unusable? everything just hangs, I have to use the noveau driver to get it working
[20:15] <Lammerix> okay, doing it again to be sure it's definitely not working.
[20:18] <kuser> anyone with kde?

[20:19] <Jazire_> I  have a question regarding unstalling Wine completely from system
[20:20] <Lammerix> Jordan http://paste.ubuntu.com/1048016/
[20:22] <HardFu> I'm having problems with hearbeat
[20:22] <HardFu> crm_mon -1  gives me
[20:22] <HardFu> Connection to cluster failed: connection failed
[20:22] <adammw111> i can't get a usb hard drive to mount with udisks, i keep getting not authorised messages. what config files do i need to change to let me (non-root user but in adm/sudo/plugdev group) mount disks?
[20:23] <Jazire_> I have attempted uninstalling Wine, 4QWine and Winetricks from my system through the Software center but it does not do a complete uninstall.  then when Itry to reinstall, it creates wrong new directories.  Also, creates new programs that I want to reinstall...it's a mess
[20:24] <Rook> So...anyone think of any way we might address this rootkit issue?
[20:24] <Meridious> Rook, if you really want to make sure you didnt get rooted, format the HDD
[20:24] <MonkeyDust> Jazire_  maybe you have to delete some hidden .config file, too
[20:24] <adammw111> Jazire_, have you tried deleting your .wine folder? (this contains all your windows programs)
[20:24] <tira> exusme :)
[20:25] <tira> some one can help me?
[20:25] <MonkeyDust> tira  if you're sweet
[20:25] <Meridious> Rook, if you want something Tinfoil-Hat Tier, download DBAN
[20:25] <Jazire_> no, I am a new user and do not know what all I can do.  I don't even know how to find my Wine folder
[20:25] <haxxpop>  Does anyone know whether gtk+ bases on OOP?
[20:25] <jimmy51_> i've got a dell optiplex 990 with a radeon HD6450.  i boot to the livecd and install OK, but on reboot i get weird flashing.  i don't even see the grub menu at all.  if i hit ctrl-alt-del, i reboot so i'm sure something is running.
[20:25] <Jazire_> also, what associated folders do I delete and where
[20:25] <Meridious> jazire_:  ~/.wine
[20:25] <jimmy51_> if i remember the ati card and re-install, it boots fine.
[20:25] <adammw111> Jazire_, what have you done so far, and what are you trying to achieve?
[20:26] <jimmy51_> if i boot to the livecd, is there something i can do to tell the installed OS to use the same graphics options as the livecd?
[20:26] <tira> i have a problem with lazarus IDE on ubuntu 12.04
[20:26] <Jazire_> I want to delete everything so I can do a fresh install so that the wizard comes up
[20:26] <adammw111> the wizard for which program?
[20:26] <Jazire_> wizard to configure Q4Wine
[20:27] <kurtwp_> Jazire_: try " sudo find / -name .wine .print
[20:27] <kurtwp_> Jazire_: oop -print
[20:27] <kurtwp_> not .print
[20:27] <adammw111> I'm not sure how Q4wINE works, sorry
[20:28] <adammw111> so anyone know anything about udisks policykit or consolekit?
[20:28] <Jazire_> would  "-name"   be my user name?
[20:29] <kurtwp_> Jazire_: no leave it -name
[20:29] <Jazire_> ok ty
[20:29] <kurtwp_> Jazire_: however, ,wine fold might be in your /home/username -  just do a ls -al | more
[20:31] <Jazire_> Ideally what I want to do is restore my computer to an earlier date but I can find no backups!
[20:31] <MonkeyDust> Jazire_  when did you last make a backup?
[20:31] <adammw111> you do realise that wine is just windows apps, all your other linux apps aren't affected
[20:31] <Jazire_> I haven't...but my computer is set to do one every week
[20:31] <Jazire_> so where are they????
[20:32] <ant1-chr15t> hey guys i need some help i wanted to share my wifi connection via ethernet and it doesn't seem to be working i went into the ipv4 setting on the wifi and did Shared to other computers yet still nothing when i plug the other end into a windows desktop im working on

[20:35] <Iszak> Does anyone know software that'll allow both git and svn support?
[20:35] <usr13> ant1-chr15t: Probably lacking dhcp
[20:35] <ant1-chr15t> hmm
[20:35] <Jazire_> brb, going to try those commands I was given
[20:35] <Zally666> Can i apt get install wifi ap radiosity?
[20:36] <usr13> ant1-chr15t: Maybe just need to manually set ip, gateway and nameserver
[20:36] <ant1-chr15t> indeed but its strange as it worked fine before
[20:36] <usr13> before _____________?
[20:37] <Zally666> Every bitmask confuscated
[20:37] <Jazire_> so do I do a del home/dakotah/.wine    ????
[20:37] <adammw111> rm
[20:37] <adammw111> altough move to trash is better
[20:38] <trashi> hi. i accidently removed /usr/share/themes and using xfce. anybody know how to restore?
[20:39] <guntbert> Zally666: where did you find that app? I find only graphics/raytracing under that name
[20:39] <afm> tried using qla-tools to rescan for some hba luns added.  it doesn't work on 3.X kernels…. anyone with another solution?  compile from source on the new kernel?
[20:39] <jeremiah> I am having graphics card driver problems. Ubuntu does not recognize it, even though when i type lspci it brings it up in the list. I have a Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI M64-S [Mobility Radeon X2300]  could someone tell me how to get drivers for it?
[20:40] <Zally666> Guntbert idk
[20:40] <DJones> Zally666: http://alternativeto.net/software/radiosity/?platform=linux Suggest an app called Power Beat as an alternative for the windows app radiosity
[20:41] <adammw111> maybe your xorg.conf is set to use another driver?
[20:41] <adammw111> check your xorg.log file
[20:41] <DJones> Zally666: Although its not in the repo's
_  Can you tell me how to find home/dakotah/.wine  ?  I just can't find it...I"m too used to Windows and the dos form of directories, not used to seeing the home folder etc
[20:43] <adammw111> are you in a terminal or just on your desktop? in a terminal, you can type cd ~/.wine otherwise in your home folder on the desktop you can go ctrl+L and type ~/.wine as well
[20:43] <DJones> Zally666: Looking at it, powerbeat looks to be windows only as well
[20:43] <Jazire_> I have the terminal window open
[20:43] <Zally666> Dj im just chat on phone
[20:43] <Womkes> Is it normal behavious that 'hostname' only returns the name of the machine and not the Fully Qualified Domain name ?
[20:43] <adammw111> and you've backed up everything you've installed?
[20:43] <Womkes> behaviour
[20:44] <Womkes> on centos it returns the fqd
[20:44] <Womkes> but not on ubuntu
[20:44] <kuser> trying again... anyone with kde? :P
[20:44] <sarsaeol> Womkes: yes use hostname -f
[20:44] <Jazire_> no, don't know how
[20:44] <Womkes> ah thanks sarsaeol
[20:44] <sarsaeol> np Womkes
[20:45] <adammw111> ok, are you ok with losing any software you've installed then? if so type rm -rf ~/.wine
[20:45] <Zally666> But its remarkable a windows soft ap but no ubuntu one
[20:45] <Jazire_> yes, I'm ok with doing that
[20:45] <DJones> Zally666: I've got to go, but if radiosity was a streaming radio app, maybe thiis is a suitable alternative http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/radiotray
[20:46] <DJones> Zally666: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/radio-tray-online-radio-streaming-player.html
[20:46] <Jazire_> ok, did that
[20:47] <adammw111> ok, you can try dpkg-reconfigure wine or dpkg-reconfigure q4wine
[20:47] <Zally666> Thkx i guess thats what i want most radio :)
[20:48] <ratcheer> Tiktalik: Did you ever get your Network Manager working the way you wanted?
[20:48] <theding0> Looking for some help with Avast!
[20:48] <Meridious> theding0: Avast runs on ubuntu?
[20:48] <Jazire_> can I just go to the software center and reinstall them?
[20:49] <theding0> Meridious: Is that a sarcastic question?
[20:49] <guntbert> !who | Jazire_
[20:49] <Tiktalik> ratcheer: I don't mind having to start it manually, I just want my booting to take less long
[20:49] <Meridious> theding0: sort of. This is the ubuntu channel
[20:49] <Meridious> theding0: what is the problem?
[20:49] <Tiktalik> but it's alright
[20:49] <theding0> Meridious: Oh THAT's why it's called #ubuntu ...
[20:49] <Tiktalik> it boots faster than my old PC did
[20:50] <Jazire_> !tab adammw111  ok
[20:50] <DJones> Meridious: Avast is availabe for Ubuntu, not something I've used, but I know its there
[20:50] <Jazire_> lol
[20:50] <theding0> Anyways. Can anyone help me?
[20:51] <Meridious> DJones: for scanning mail i guess?
[20:51] <adammw111> has that solved your problem or are you still wanting the wizard?

[20:53] <theding0> Here is my problem if someone could help. When I run try to run Avast, I get the error /usr/bin/avast: 178: /usr/bin/avast: /usr/lib/avast4workstation/bin/avast: not found. Except it's there when I look in the file browser..
[20:54] <Meridious> theding0: try running it as a different user. The command avast probably is not in your bash profile
[20:54] <usr13> theding0: Avast?
[20:54] <matyika> i install Easypeasy Linux 1.6 and i select ATA...etc... winchaster and instal too... and SATA win. do not formated and... :-| SATA win. is not aviable :-|
[20:54] <grimley> ey up, has anyone had any experience of setting up xbox controllers under xubuntu 11.10
[20:54] <theding0> Meridious: I am the only user on this box
[20:54] <usr13> theding0: Why do you need Avast?
[20:55] <theding0> usr13: that doesn't matter. i just need help figuring out why it won't run
[20:55] <Meridious> theding0: tentatively try root.  elevate to root with  "sudo su -" to simulate a new login
[20:55] <Meridious> theding0: this should reload roots bash profile
[20:56] <zykotick9> Meridious: NEVER suggest "sudo su" it's WRONG.  "sudo -i" if you need to (and almost no one does).  theding0
[20:56] <Areckx> okay, I am having a serious problem with rotating my .mov video file from my iphone, usually I upload to youtube, and it fixes it for me, but I am having a ridiculous time roating it using avidemux ffmpeg, and mencoder, I keep on having the sound get changed... etc... All I want is to ROTATE IT
[20:57] <theding0> Meridious: didn't work
[20:57] <theding0> zykotick9: i had already typed it in
[20:57] <Meridious> zykotick9: got any reading material on the matter?
[20:57] <zykotick9> Meridious: nope...
[20:58] <Jazire_> ! tab adammw111 the dpkg-reconfigure command in the terminal is telling me  "must be run in the root"
[20:58] <Meridious> zykotick9: okay. Im gonna weigh your advice with some healthy research
[20:58] <Jazire_> geesh
[20:58] <theding0> Anything else I can do?
[20:58] <zykotick9> Meridious: whatever, it's ubuntu - do what you want.  it's not like it matters.
[20:58] <Jazire_> adammw111 the dpkg-reconfigure command in the terminal is telling me  "must be run in the root"
[20:59] <huismon> can anyone think of a good way to feed an array into create resources

[21:07] <guntbert> tonyk: don't advertise
[21:07] <tonyk> sorry
[21:08] <eutheria> is there a UI to setup encrypted volumes?
[21:08] <guntbert> malkauns: what has that to do with ubuntu support?
[21:08] <Meridious> guntbert: so I am working as a linux admin intern, and my boss told me to use "sudo su -"
[21:08] <Meridious> guntbert: all RHEL or centos boxes; is there a reason for that?
[21:08] <exutux> your boss wrongs
[21:09] <Meridious> guntbert: is it a traditional thing? did sudo -i not exist at some point
[21:10] <guntbert> Meridious: when the root account is enabled there is not much difference and people where just used to using su - anyway
[21:10] <Meridious> exutux: while i assume that is true, he probably has a reason for it. I wanna know if it was  a ood one
[21:10] <guntbert> *people were
