[00:00] <phax> Hello.
[00:00] <pooltable> help with yahoo get smaller on news page help? on all three browers
[00:01] <ickefes> when i connect to my second computer (windows, using samba(?)), I have to open every ogg/mp3/etc file to plat them. I would like to drag a folder to my player so that the computer can play the whole album but that is not possible. I have to transfer them to my computer first and I wonder if it is possible to solve this?
[00:02] <Jak_Atackka> dynesh: I honestly don't know. Ask around, or ask Google.
[00:02] <silverarrow> is anyone using Gnash?
[00:02] <Jak_Atackka> dynesh: I know routers pretty well, but not how to configure the network on the computer itself
[00:02] <dynesh> Jak_Atackka : thanks anyway :) got some work to do :) signing off
[00:03] <wan26> dynesh, might be good to back up files then just reinstall if no solution works
[00:03] <sku11knight> Hi guys. Trying to recover a javascript file that I rm'ed. Any tips or software that I might be able to use?
[00:03] <dynesh> Jak_Atackka : do u think, router has any say in this issue? is there any specific setting i might have to alter for ths?
[00:04] <l1t> I'm trying to apt-get remove --perge rar  flashplugin-installer   and  ttf-mscorefonts-installer  .  I get the error this is not installed. Eventhough they are and I can see them all when I do dpkg -l      Any ideas?
[00:04] <zykotick9> !undelete | sku11knight
[00:04] <Jak_Atackka> dynesh: I doubt it. If your phone wasn't connecting, then maybe, but since it can I highly doubt that the problem is the router
[00:04] <Mikness> IlikeMoose, thoughts?
[00:05] <dynesh> Jal_Atackka : thats fine then...thanks bud..c ya..signing off
[00:05] <ickefes> anyone?
[00:05] <sku11knight> zykotick9 I've been playing around with scalpel, but i'm unsure if it'll recover a .js file. There isn't a .js commented out line.
[00:05] <zykotick9> l1t: FYI dpkg -l will list things you have removed.  do you say "ii" beside each?  FYI #2 "sudo apt-get purge foo" will work...
[00:06] <IlikeMoose> Mikness: sorry, i have no idea, i'm still looking on google for an answer however
[00:06] <zykotick9> sku11knight: sorry, i've never used scalpel before, so i have no idea.  best of luck.
[00:06] <Mikness> IlikeMoose, hey, np. Thanks for looking!
[00:06] <dynesh> wan26: reinstall??? oh man, im screwed then!
[00:07] <wan26> that's just a drastic action i take personally if no solutions work
[00:08] <l1t> zykotick9: nope it says rc.
[00:08] <dynesh> wan26: i've did enough of googling...i hope that ll be my only solution too...bad luck!
[00:08] <zykotick9> l1t: thus you already removed it, but there are still config files... you could re-add it/them, then purge if you wished...
[00:09] <vangelas> Firefox 14 (64 bit) will not play flash videos on sites such bbc and youtube. Flash plugin is installed but it seems firefox cannot read it. Any ideas?
[00:09] <Mikness> IlikeMoose, here's the error I get when trying to 'refresh' Error retrieving ATA SMART data: helper failed with exit code 1: Failed to check if disk /dev/sdb is awake: Operation not supported
[00:09] <Mikness> IlikeMoose, Is it because it's a Windows partition?
[00:10] <l1t> zykotick9: oh wow lol ok thanks ><
[00:13] <IlikeMoose> Mikness: sorry, i can't find anything, /dev/sdb you said is a SSD right?
[00:13] <thufir_> jrib: I think that I got it working.  is postfix installed correctly, or are there errors or problems with this install?  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/260993
[00:14] <Mikness> IlikeMoose, Yeah, set up as 64GB NTFS. I think because I used Wubi to set up Ubuntu within Windows 7 I need to use chkdsk on Windows to do the check. Problem is, last time I did that it cleared out my Ubunutu
[00:15] <jrib> thufir_: looks ok
[00:15] <Mikness> IlikeMoose, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/guide-to-using-check-disk-in-windows-vista/
[00:15] <silverarrow> anyone on powerpc?
[00:15] <pooltable> help with yahoo get smaller on news page help? on all three browers
[00:15] <silverarrow> three pooltable ?
[00:16] <pooltable> fire fox opera and google
[00:16] <thufir_> jrib: thanks for all the help :)
[00:16] <silverarrow> oh, yes
[00:16] <jrib> thufir_: no problem
[00:16] <silverarrow> the best ones
[00:17] <IlikeMoose> Mikness: did you have automatically fix file system errors checked the last time you ran it?
[00:17] <silverarrow> well, there are some nice alternatives like midori
[00:17] <Mikness> IlikeMoose, i think so
[00:17] <pooltable> how do i fix it?
[00:17]  * silverarrow googles moos
[00:18] <IlikeMoose> Mikness: i'd say uncheck that, leave the other option checked, and if it wipes out again which i don't think it should install ubuntu on the drive without using wubi, install ubuntu on the drive next to it.
[00:19] <Mikness> IlikeMoose, thanks. "install ubuntu on the drive next to it"?
[00:19] <zykotick9> i'd recommend using VirtualBox over WUBI, if you want to keep the "VM" for any amount of time.
[00:20] <zykotick9> i native install, is obviously greatly prefered over any VM solution...  just to be clear ;)
[00:21] <IlikeMoose> when you boot from the ubuntu cdrom or whatever you're using choose the installation option to install ubuntu along with windows, it should be the first option closest to the top.
[00:21] <Mikness> IlikeMoose, k, I'll give that a shot instead, then. Thanks again for the help!
[00:30] <compdoc> anyone use infiniband cards?
[00:30] <pooltable> yahoo not working how to fix ??
[00:32] <sku11knight> How would I find a zip file with the end of central directory signature?
[00:37] <ki4ro_> .
[00:38] <silverarrow> is there a reason to stay away from Ubuntu because of Unity?
[00:38] <ki4ro_> Just installed the newest SMUXI...seems to work just fine
[00:38] <wan26> No silverarrow
[00:38] <silverarrow> I  mean, is it possible to get back to regular gnome?
[00:39] <silverarrow> I keep reading it all the time on blogs, "hate unity, hate ubuntu",
[00:39] <wan26> You can use it alongside unity
[00:39] <wan26> selecting it before login
[00:40] <Novux> hello?
[00:40] <wan26> i hated it too, but i like it now lol
[00:40] <silverarrow> wan26, so it is a bit on the cumbersome side?
[00:40] <wan26> It's pretty slick tbh, i use the scroll mouse for the panel, press the windows key for the hud lol
[00:41] <wan26> or alt for a command
[00:41] <wan26> it can speed things up
[00:42] <silverarrow> I might try it then
[00:42] <silverarrow> I am in lubuntu now
[00:42] <wan26> I'm hoping to try that on another machine
[00:43] <wan26> to see what it's like
[00:43] <silverarrow> yeah, it`s nice, mostly for low specs I suppose
[00:43] <silverarrow> and powerpc
[00:43] <wan26> nice
[00:43] <silverarrow> which is low specs with added weirdness
[00:43] <silverarrow> lol
[00:44] <wan26> i was about to say, i dont know anyone with a powerpc lol
[00:44] <silverarrow> hardly anyone keeps them alive it seems
[00:44] <wan26> kudos
[00:44] <silverarrow> mine was a hand-me-down
[00:44] <silverarrow> it is nice to write on, silent, cool
[00:45] <wan26> obedient
[00:45] <silverarrow> though flash and similar is a pain
[00:46] <wan26> i can imagine
[00:48] <Novux> hey guys
[00:48] <Novux> is there any place where i can learn bash and commands and stuff?
[00:49] <jrib> !cli | Novux
[00:49] <jrib> Novux: #bash is very helpful too
[00:50] <wan26> ubuntu pocket guide, files ystem hierarchy standard, and what ubottu said
[00:50] <Novux> whats the difference between the two?
[00:53] <stevo871> hi room
[00:53] <Novux> hi
[00:53] <stevo871> I have just unstalled Ubuntu and I am having a nightmare with it ;(
[00:53] <stevo871> *:(
[00:53] <ki4ro_> .
[00:54] <stevo871> I keep losing my keyboard and mouse soon after getting onto Ubuntu, the keybaord will keep repeating the last letter it registered
[00:57] <aroman> how can I mount an HFS+ partition in Ubuntu?
[00:58] <aroman> `mount -t hfsplus -o rw,force` tells me `mount: warning: /media/Win/ seems to be mounted read-only.`
[00:59] <foobArrr> aroman: journaling has to be disabled, if you want to mount hfs+ rw.
[00:59] <aroman> ah
[00:59] <stevo871> I want to mount a hard drive but I cant get anywhere near that far because my keyboard and mouse drop out, any ideas?
[01:00] <LarsN> where do I configure system wide ulimits on 12.04
[01:01] <LarsN> I want to allow apache ~ 512 MaxClients but it errors if i set the value beyond 256 with a "ulimit: error setting limit (operatin not permitted)" error
[01:01] <aroman> foobArrr: how can I temporarily disable journaling?
[01:01] <aroman> i just need to transfer some stuff from ext4 -> hfs+
[01:01] <aroman> then I'll turn it back on
[01:02] <foobArrr> aroman: from ubuntu? don't think that's possible. otherwise on os x: diskutil disableJournal /Volumes/TheVolumeName
[01:02] <aroman> yeah from OS X. I'm virtualizing Ubuntu
[01:03] <con-man> my audio skips every few mins and goes out of synch since installing 12.04 anyone know why?
[01:03] <con-man> this happens with videos, youtube, mp3s played via banshee etc
[01:04] <te> con-man: more-than-likely video drivers
[01:04] <GeekAdmin> Is there a channel operator or administrator available by chance? I want to add an Ubuntu web chat on my site but wanted to see if its okay to do.
[01:04] <con-man> te, even with just emmm peeee threees?
[01:04] <te> hummmm... nope
[01:05] <aroman> foobArrr: thanks. crazy how it's so trivial to disable journaling. i guess intuitively i'd think you'd need a reformat
[01:05] <LarsN> con-man: I'd be happy to blame pulse audio, but I really don't have any evidence, or proof of that.  (I'm just a hater.)
[01:05] <LarsN> con-man: I have seen what you're experiencing before.  I don't know why it happens though, never put any time into it.
[01:05] <con-man> LarsN, is there a solution?
[01:06] <LarsN> I never looked for one.
[01:06] <con-man> you just put up with it?
[01:06] <LarsN> don't do a lot of audio, so yes.
[01:06] <stevo871> nobody got any clues with my issue? I cannot find anything helpful online
[01:07] <Daekdroom> Does anyone know what is the Launchpad page that tells the state of each Ubuntu repository mirror?
[01:07] <con-man> LarsN, you are the only person I know who doesn't use their speakers
[01:07] <nobriel> join #asterisk
[01:07] <LarsN> heh
[01:07] <LarsN> sorry
[01:08] <trism> Daekdroom: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[01:08] <Daekdroom> trism, thank you
[01:08] <con-man> it's crippling for me
[01:08] <wjtaylor> can someone tell me what gcc wants when it complains there's no rule for a directory? What's the rule for and how do I give it one?
[01:09] <genjix> All Your Base Are Belong To Us
[01:09] <con-man> jesus farking christo it's twice a minute at least
[01:09] <genjix> i like booooobs
[01:10] <en1gma> i installed ubuntu 12.04.1 amd 64 desktop and installed all the packages i have all settings correct like i like. if i want to make a live dvd of my current system is there a guide or an app that will work
[01:10] <con-man> genjix, me too, but what is the relevance?
[01:10] <wan26> brasereo?
[01:10] <wan26> -e
[01:15] <sysd0wn> Anyone have luck using their android phone as a bluetooth GPS device?
[01:15] <randomDude> aroman: is mounting your macosx drive in your virtualmachine going to be the only way you can get data to the virtualmachine (me thinks not since i know of at least five other ways)
[01:15] <Trent> Hello, i'm having trouble I have Kubuntu installed but i'm not sure if it's running the KDE desktop?
[01:16] <aroman> randomDude: it's not, but I don't have access to a machine with USB3 running linux on it
[01:16] <aroman> this is actually a very nice solution
[01:17] <randomDude> aroman: you can't use scp?
[01:17] <aroman> O.o for 750GB?
[01:17] <randomDude> why not?
[01:17] <aroman> well, it'd be way slower
[01:17] <randomDude> but safer
[01:17] <aroman> how safer?
[01:17] <LarsN> aroman: you can do daemon based rsync (ie non SSH)
[01:18] <genjix> all your bae are belong to us
[01:18] <randomDude> !ot > genjix
[01:20] <ki4ro> .
[01:20] <aroman> LarsN: the bottleneck is the transmission medium
[01:20] <dymk> Hi, I was wondering how to go about symlinking a directory in my home folder to another folder (lets call it /home/anon_ftp). I thought that this would work: $~: ls -s ~/AnonFiles /home/anon_ftp/AnonFiles, but I'm getting an access denied error
[01:20] <aroman> USB3 > wifi
[01:20] <dymk> The server I'm using is vsftpd
[01:22] <dymk> I've also tried to chown ugo+rx ~/AnonDownloads, but that still won't allow the anon user to access that folder (and stuff inside it)
[01:30] <matts45acp> can someone here help me format a flashdrive in ubuntu
[01:31] <foobArrr> I'm using a USB KVM switch, one of the connected PCs runs Ubuntu. Sometimes when I switch to the Ubuntu PC, keyboard and mouse don't respond and dmesg is flooded with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1167055/    any ideas?
[01:32] <WeThePeople> genjix, MEEE TOOO
[01:32] <Leon_Cloud_> ciao ^_^
[01:35] <con-man> how do I ditch pulse audio? what's the alternatives?
[01:36] <[deXter]> con-man, ALSA
[01:36] <matts45acp> can someone here help me format a flashdrive in ubuntu
[01:36] <con-man> that is what I have used in the past
[01:36] <con-man> how do I ditch pulse and go with ALSA
[01:36] <[deXter]> Just uninstall pulse and that should do it
[01:36] <[deXter]> matts45acp, Use GParted
[01:37] <matts45acp> dexter i have gparted but dont see any usb there
[01:37] <matts45acp> or i dont know what im doing
[01:37] <abimael> Can i send files with gpg?
[01:37] <[deXter]> matts45acp, On the top-right corner there will be a drop-down list box
[01:37] <con-man> [deXter], how do I Tell what I have now?
[01:37] <[deXter]> you can select the USB from there
[01:37] <con-man> I assumed pulse audio I may be wrong
[01:38] <matts45acp> dexter, its not in there
[01:38] <biohazrd> anyone know if there will be issues with lvm and raid 1 on to 80 GB drives that have different geometry?
[01:38] <[deXter]> matts45acp, You mean it doesn't show up in the list of devices in the top-right drop-down listbox ?
[01:38] <matts45acp> dexter, no
[01:38] <drag0nius2> is there something special i need to do to make ubuntu server's ports visible in wan?
[01:38] <biohazrd> *two..
[01:38] <[deXter]> matts45acp, Is the drive mounted?
[01:39] <ByteEater> Hi, all! I have a VPS and I'd like to install a minimum of packages necessary to run a Mono application with GUI and have it displayed remotely on a Windows machine (with VNC or preferably NX). How do you suggest to approach this?
[01:39] <[deXter]> biohazrd, If it's software RAID then no
[01:39] <biohazrd> thx DexterF
[01:39] <ByteEater> it's Ubuntu 11.10
[01:39] <biohazrd> deXter
[01:39] <matts45acp> dexter, i guess i can see it in the files folders
[01:40] <abimael> Anyone, can I send files with gpg or is it just encryption used for documents and email?
[01:40] <matts45acp> dexter, i got it now
[01:41] <matts45acp> dexter, what format do i format it to
[01:41] <[deXter]> matts45acp, fat32,
[01:41] <biohazrd> if you want to confuse yourself daily run different linux distros on your devices at home
[01:41] <[deXter]> ^ That's what I do. :P
[01:41] <biohazrd> im nuts tho
[01:42] <matts45acp> dexter, ok i dunno how to format it
[01:42] <drag0nius2> so
[01:42] <biohazrd> gentoo, CentOS and Unbuntu-server... Debian on NAS
[01:42] <drag0nius2> is there something special i need to set up to open localhost ports to outside lan?
[01:42] <wjtaylor> what does subdirs=foo do in a make statement. It's not in the man pages
[01:42] <Yiq> how do i make a new ssh key?
[01:43] <[deXter]> matts45acp, So once you have selected your USB drive and can see the partitions in the main window of GParted, go to Device -> Create Partition Table
[01:43] <matts45acp> dexter, do i have to unmount to format
[01:43] <[deXter]> matts45acp, Yeah you can do that from GParted
[01:43] <biohazrd> matts45acp, yes
[01:44] <[deXter]> if you unmount from nautlius then it may not be visible in GParted anymore
[01:44] <`DjM4X> hey, i want to buy a game for a friend as a gift.. it's from the ubuntu app directory. is there any way to buy it as a gift and send it to him directly? link: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/bastion/
[01:45] <roothorick> I just now discovered that my laptop's screen has an overwhelming yellow tint, even in what's supposed to be solid red/green/blue. Is there any way to adjust this out? brightness/contrast/gamma don't affect it
[01:47] <compdoc> roothorick, doesnt sound good
[01:47] <Yiq> how do i make a new ssh key?
[01:48] <compdoc> anyone use infiniband cards?
[01:48] <[deXter]> Yiq, ssh-keygen
[01:48] <`DjM4X> hey, i want to buy a game for a friend as a gift.. it's from the ubuntu app directory. is there any way to buy it as a gift and send it to him directly? link: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/bastion/
[01:55] <drag0nius2> how to allow external access to the port?
[01:55] <drag0nius2> in ubuntu
[01:55] <rodarima> any app like dropbox but in p2p for ubuntu? exists?
[01:56] <MonkeyDust> rodarima  dropbox is not p2p, it's online storage
[01:56] <rodarima> im looking for f2f
[01:56] <dymk> Alright, so I've gotten to where I can break out of the CHRoot jail with FTP
[01:56] <rodarima> like WASTE
[01:57] <dymk> with mount --bind
[01:57] <dymk> How do I allow anon users to read the files themselves though
[01:57] <drag0nius2> i've glassfish and ts3 running on my ubuntu server, but they're not accessible from external ip
[01:58] <TJ-> drag0nius2: configure the public router with port-forwarding rules for the ports
[01:59] <rodarima> and don't access inside your own LAN
[01:59] <drag0nius2> tcpdump shows packets incoming
[02:00] <drag0nius2> so i guess port forwarding works at all
[02:00] <TJ-> drag0nius2: Have you got firewall rules on the server opened too?
[02:01] <drag0nius2> i didn't set up anything
[02:01] <drag0nius2> there might be some by default
[02:02] <TJ-> drag0nius2: If you're analysing the interface with tcpdump, presumably you can see if the server is replying
[02:02] <TJ-> drag0nius2: if you're doing the tcpdump on the server itself, and not seeing any reply packets then you've obviously got some configuration wrong
[02:03] <drag0nius2> there is local comp on left of >
[02:03] <drag0nius2> and external ip on the right
[02:03] <drag0nius2> for ts3
[02:03] <drag0nius2> and no other packets
[02:04] <TJ-> drag0nius2: Are you trying to do a loop-back from inside your own network? that won't work. You need to test from outside the network
[02:04] <drag0nius2> you have ts3 maybe? xD
[02:05] <TJ-> what is ts3?
[02:05] <drag0nius2> teamspeak 3
[02:05] <TJ-> drag0nius2: no
[02:05] <drag0nius2> guess you dont then ;d
[02:05] <TJ-> drag0nius2: If it's not open-source... !
[02:06] <drag0nius2> bah, how to find packets i actually want in that tcpdump
[02:06] <drag0nius2> theres mass stuff going on whole time
[02:06] <TJ-> drag0nius2: set a filter based on destination port
[02:06] <drag0nius2> how to use multiple ports?
[02:07] <TJ-> drag0nius2: such as "tcp and port 5678" or "udp and port 5678" or "tcp and host <IP_ADDRESS>"
[02:07] <sku11knight> Blech. Does anyone have any experience recovering data after you rm it? I just stupidly rm'ed a .js file and am now having problems retrieving it
[02:08] <TJ-> sku11knight: Does any program/process still have the file open?
[02:08] <sku11knight> nope > <
[02:08] <sku11knight> i checked for swp's and everythin
[02:08] <TJ-> sku11knight: then probably not
[02:08] <sku11knight> TJ- my chances of recovering it are nil?
[02:08] <TJ-> sku11knight: If it's a .js (Javascript) could it be cached by a browser?
[02:09] <sku11knight> i checked
[02:09] <sku11knight> and no luck
[02:09] <TJ-> sku11knight: You could always take the disk offline and use testdisk/photorec on it
[02:09] <sku11knight>  i tried foremost but it just got every file that i didn't want : P
[02:10] <sku11knight> i also have the same file in a .zip that i deleted
[02:10] <TJ-> What is the preoccupation with deleting things in these days of massive disks!? :p
[02:10] <sku11knight> i am an idiot.
[02:11] <TJ-> sku11knight: were you working on the file with a text editor?
[02:11] <sku11knight> vi
[02:11] <sku11knight> so yes
[02:11] <TJ-> sku11knight: Because they usually create a backup with a ~ on the end
[02:12] <TJ-> Though vi doesn't by default, I don't think
[02:15] <Balthazar> Does anyone here use dolphin-emu with AMD? Need some help optimizing with A8-3850.
[02:17] <drag0nius2> im out of ideas
[02:17] <TJ-> Drag0nir:  have you tested from outside the network?
[02:17] <TJ-> oops
[02:18] <drag0nius2> drag0nius.dyndns.org:8080/d3calc2/
[02:18] <drag0nius2> try that
[02:18] <drag0nius2> it works?
[02:19] <TJ-> drag0nius2: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1167384/
[02:20] <drag0nius2> hmm guess now just server stopped working xd
[02:21] <ByteEater> what do I need to install on Ubuntu 11.10 on VPS which has no Xorg Sever in order to connect via NX?
[02:22] <drag0nius2> lol
[02:22] <drag0nius2> why wouldnt it work on loopback
[02:23] <TJ-> drag0nius2: The question is, why *would* it work?
[02:23] <drag0nius2> why would not it work if i try from inside lan
[02:23] <silverarrow> I lost sound when installing/unistalling lightspark flash player
[02:23] <silverarrow> what can I do?
[02:24] <silverarrow> I have opened alsamixer but settings seem to be fine
[02:24] <TJ-> drag0nius2: Because the network stack cannot do what you are trying to do
[02:24] <drag0nius2> it worked when i used router as router xd
[02:24] <nycsd>  hello NoFace
[02:24] <nycsd> hello

[02:25] <drag0nius2> but doesnt work when i've ubuntu server in the middle
[02:25] <bazhang> nycsd, ubuntu support question?
[02:26] <TJ-> drag0nius2: The you need to configure the server for masquerading  and forwarding
[02:27] <drag0nius2> i think it has masquerading
[02:27] <drag0nius2> i rember setting up sth like that when configured dhcp

[02:35] <sku11knight> hey guys how would i mv a bunch of directories that all start with the same thing but end in something different? kinda like mv directory-*
[02:35] <enix> i am trying to convert a dmg to img, i get to last step and get an error, i looked up how to fix that, but the fix errors
[02:36] <enix> using instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManageDiscImages#DMG%20Images
[02:36] <TJ-> sku11knight: "mv /path/to/somedirnames* /path/to/destination/"
[02:36] <sku11knight> thanks tj-
[02:37] <rocky> TJ-, seems like there is no solution to this bug  /etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf
[02:37] <rocky> TJ-, sorry i meant to this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/586243
[02:37] <TJ-> rocky: I saw some comments that using a more recent kernel solves it too
[02:38] <rocky> TJ-, it points to this link http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/, i'm not sure how to install kernel
[02:38] <coldpizza72i> Im trying to unmount a hdd but it says its busy
[02:38] <mertcanekiz> Hi can I ask a question?

[02:40] <zykotick9> !ask | mertcanekiz
[02:40] <rocky> TJ-, how do i check my current kernel installed, i see latest is 3.6.0-999 generic avaiable out there
[02:42] <silverarrow> anyone clever with sound issues, I lost sound

[02:42] <TJ-> rocky: Use v3.5  ... v3.6 is still in development and may contain bugs. I run v3.5 here and it is faster at many things than the stock 3.2 in Precise.

[02:42] <mertcanekiz> I've tried to install Ubuntu directly from hard drive. I've managed to enter livecd installation. It was normal until the installation started. It said cannot unmount /cdrom so I unmounted it manually. Then ubiquity crashed. I had formatted the partition where previous Ubuntu was installed so now my question is, is GRUB uninstalled when I formatted that partition? If so, how can I install it back. Because I'm scared to reboot now
[02:42] <rocky> TJ-, thanks for the advise
[02:42] <mertcanekiz> bootloaderless pc
[02:42] <zykotick9> py_can: sdb is a drive, you probably want a partition sdb1 for example (but sometimes not)
[02:43] <TJ-> py_can: That's probably because you're referring to the name of the host device (/dev/sdb) instead of one of its partitions (/dev/sdb1 for example)
[02:43] <zykotick9> TJ-: lol ;)
[02:43] <py_can> zykotick9: it comes from an older ubuntu installation. TJ-, fdisk -l doesnt show me that /dev/sdb1
[02:43] <TJ-> zykotick9: are we twins? :p
[02:43] <py_can> TJ-, wait it does
[02:43] <TJ-> py_can: I'm waiting :)
[02:43] <py_can> TJ-: ^_^
[02:44] <mertcanekiz> can anybody answer please?
[02:44] <py_can> TJ-, ok, that worked :P
[02:44] <py_can> thx zykotick9 TJ-
[02:45] <pepperjack> mertcanekiz: have you already re-installed to the same partition you formatted?
[02:46] <mertcanekiz> I've tried, but it crashes, so now I plan to try another version or another distro, but I fear I won't be able to boot
[02:46] <rocky> TJ-, i have amd64 machine, so i will go only 2 files then a) linux-headers-3.5.2-030502-generic_3.5.2-030502.201208151151_amd64.deb b) linux-headers-3.5.2-030502_3.5.2-030502.201208151151_all.deb, do i need 	linux-image-3.5.2-030502-generic_3.5.2-030502.201208151151_amd64.deb & linux-image-extra-3.5.2-030502-generic_3.5.2-030502.201208151151_amd64.deb	?
[02:46] <pepperjack> mertcanekiz: well grub will still be there but it's set to boot using files on that partition so you'll get grub but wont be able to boot.  if you have a usb stick or can burn a livecd you and easily still boot them to reinstall
[02:47] <pepperjack> mertcanekiz: basically the bootloader is there (grub) but theres nothing for it to load
[02:47] <TJ-> rocky: You need the headers amd64, headers all, image amd64 and image-extra amd64
[02:47] <Hetep> hello, am recieving a really weird error after a power outage, where the DNS server is not available, though logging into IRC is capable
[02:48] <rocky> TJ-, is there any order of installation or the way you listed?
[02:48] <zykotick9> mertcanekiz: (don't reply to me) but i think boot-repair or something might help.  or the old school way chroot from a live cd, THEN install grub (FYI the chroot requires MULTIPLE mounting for grub to install correctly - so it's not an easy suggestion, but i'm unfamiliar with boot repair or whaterver it's called).
[02:48] <mertcanekiz> pepperjack: I have a grub entry that boots into a livecd installation that's on a partition on my harddrive. So since I don't delete the partition that the livecd is on, I can reboot?
[02:49] <rocky> TJ-, installing
[02:49] <TJ-> mertcanekiz: not necessarily. If you formatted the partition that contained the GRUB modules and menu, then no
[02:49] <King_Cobra> is the good Dr. in today?
[02:50] <pepperjack> mertcanekiz: yeah I'm sure grub2 requires those files in /boot it doesnt load everything it needs to the mbr
[02:50] <zykotick9> pepperjack: +1

[02:51] <mertcanekiz> yeah I did format it while trying to do a fresh install. Now how do I re-install grub?
[02:52] <rocky> TJ-, i got this error message http://paste.ubuntu.com/1167410/
[02:52] <wilee-nilee> mertcanekiz, you can reload grub with a live cd does the one you have set up in a partition boot?
[02:52] <TJ-> rocky: You'll need to install them all at the same time.... put all the .deb names on the command line to dpkg -i
[02:52] <rocky> TJ-, got you
[02:52] <mertcanekiz> Yeah I'm currently writing from that Live CD

[02:52] <enix> using instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManageDiscImages#DMG%20Images
[02:53] <TJ-> mertcanekiz: if you've got that live environment operable you could even do a complete install using debootstrap and a chroot
[02:53] <zykotick9> TJ-: too bad dpkg doesn't order the debs properly, as it lacks dependency checking :(  mass, dpkg -i tend to fail on a regular basis...
[02:53] <Illusionbear> Hello everyone
[02:53] <TJ-> zykotick9: I've never had an issue with using dpkg
[02:54] <wilee-nilee> mertcanekiz, If you can read these instructions for a chroot and understand them you should be set if nothing else is wrong, it defaults to the chroot  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#ChRoot
[02:54] <mertcanekiz> Ok I will look into debootstrap, thanks. I hope I can get this to work
[02:54] <zykotick9> TJ-: i'm tempted to use !wfm ;)  plus manual DEBs won't be updated properly, and updates to the system can break them...
[02:54] <pepperjack> mertcanekiz: good argument for a separate /boot partition next time I guess :)
[02:54] <TJ-> zykotick9: There are no updates to the mainline kernel packages
[02:55] <wilee-nilee> pepperjack, hardly
[02:55] <mertcanekiz> Absolutely :D
[02:55] <rocky> I'm trying to understand the use of TTY to me, i read this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833765 doesn't helps much
[02:55] <Umo111> Where would I look to intercept/deny/modify packets in ubuntu the same way a firewall would?
[02:55] <TJ-> Even better argument to use LVM
[02:56] <zykotick9> pepperjack: separate /boot makes almost no sense these days... (SOME specific use cases i suppose, but it's origional purpose was due to partition size limitations for lilo probably... these days they typically complicate matters)
[02:56] <wilee-nilee> knowing what you doing is the best argument\
[02:56] <rocky> TJ-, I'm trying to understand the use of TTY to me, i read this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833765 doesn't helps much
[02:56] <Illusionbear> I've been experiencing rather distressing system crashes with my ubuntu since yesterday, friday 24th.  My system will shut down at seemingly random times and if i dont force the computer to turn off the system repeatedly restarts without managing to stay up.  I have to force a shutdown and wait a couple of minuites before turning it back on without hassle.  Is this something others are experiencing?  I started up this time in

[03:13] <cainus> Hey all... I'm trying to add a second display, and it seems to be detected by the display panel, but it never shows any video whatsoever... anyone have a clue for me?
[03:13] <AndAy> and you've told it to extend onto that display? or clone, or whatever you need, that is...
[03:13] <cainus> yeah
[03:14] <AndAy> what card do you have? nvidia?
[03:14] <cainus> I even made it primary once, and made my other display secondary
[03:14] <AndAy> and still nothing, oh wow...
[03:14] <cainus> not sure about the card... how do I probe?
[03:15] <TJ-> cainus: "lspci -nn | grep VGA"
[03:15] <AndAy> ah, thank you, TJ

[03:16] <TJ-> cainus: Are you using the nvidia proprietary drivers ?
[03:17] <cainus> not that I know of
[03:17] <cainus> I assume those are an explicit install?
[03:18] <TJ-> cainus: "lspci -vvnn -d 10de:0849 | grep "driver in use""

[03:19] <cainus> I'll assume you're not being sarcastic :)
[03:19] <mertcanekiz> I get "error informing kernel about modifications to partition" in gparted. I guess I have to reboot to fix that, but I can't reboot. Is there any way to fix that without reboot?
[03:19] <TJ-> cainus: I was hacking the nouveau code earlier; I'll check what the support is for the C77
[03:19] <cainus> TJ- awesome... thanks

[03:22] <GoldStandard> Does anyone have any possible solutions for getting unsupported canon printers working with Ubuntu?  I've tried a bunch of "solutions" online but none of them work since they are old solutions and have dependencies that no longer exist or were renamed.  If I can get my printer working with Ubuntu then I won't have to use Windows again! :D

[03:24] <lagreca> hi folks! nautilus won't show thumbnails, even though I've already installed thumbnailers. What can I do to fix it?
[03:24] <GoldStandard> If anyone answered my question in the few moments I was away just let me know
[03:25] <TJ-> cainus: That device has the NVAA chipset revision in it. From what I can see even the most recent nouveau driver has patchy limited support for it, and requires firmware blobs for that too. You might find it better to install the nvidia-current proprietary package which will give you full 3D acceleration, and you can use the "Nvidia X Settings" control panel to configure Twinview multiple screens
[03:26] <cainus> TJ-: okay...worth a shot... where do I get that?
[03:26] <trism> lagreca: delete ~/.thumbnails/fail/ (you often need to restart your session as well after installing thumbnailers)
[03:26] <TJ-> cainus: Are you using Precise 12.04 ?
[03:26] <mint> hello
[03:27] <lagreca> trism: I tried it, but it didn't work.
[03:27] <trism> lagreca: tried which, both?
[03:27] <fleischwolf> hello everyone - i need a device that i can write raw audio input into and get the output through my speakers. which one is it?
[03:27] <TJ-> cainus: press the power icon top-right then choose System Settings >  Hardware > Additional Drivers
[03:27] <lagreca> trism: I tried it previously.
[03:28] <cainus> TJ: yeah precise
[03:28] <lagreca> trism: deleting the fail folder and restarting
[03:28] <trism> lagreca: which thumbnailer?
[03:28] <lagreca> trim: and reinstalling the thumbnailers
[03:28] <lagreca> trim: ffmpegthumbnailer and mplayerthumbnailer
[03:28] <cainus> TJ: activate "version-current" ?
[03:29] <lidar> hello everyone
[03:29] <cainus> TJ: there's a "version current-updates" too
[03:29] <TJ-> cainus: Look for "Nvidia accelerated graphics driver (post-release updates)"
[03:30] <GoldStandard> anyone have any experience with Turboprint for Linux
[03:30] <GoldStandard> ?
[03:30] <cainus> TJ-: yeah got that...activating...
[03:30] <lidar> GoldStandard, that sounds fast !! how does it do?
[03:30] <AndAy> heh...
[03:30] <trism> lagreca: where did you install them from, maybe they aren't updated properly, the argument format changed slightly in 11.10 or 12.04
[03:31] <GoldStandard> lidar it's a compatibility program for printers that do not have linux drivers
[03:31] <TJ-> cainus: Once you've restart you won't be able to use the standard 'Display' applet to configure the displays, you'll have to use the Dash to start "Nvidia X Settings"
[03:31] <lidar> i have hp printers all plug and play
[03:31] <trism> lagreca: check /usr/share/thumbnailers/
[03:31] <GoldStandard> lidar Canon PIXMA ... no linux drivers for some
[03:32] <lidar> yeah lexmark too i have a lexmark all in one that wont work
[03:32] <lagreca> trism: i'll do it.

[03:33] <TUplink> i have a bash script that runs in a loop to output some system stats to a LCD. how can i get this to start at boot? i added it to rc.local but it just freezes boot.
[03:33] <TUplink> the script runs fine from a terminal
[03:34] <lidar> TUplink, did you background the script ? in rc.local put script& ..
[03:34] <lagreca> trism: I can see 4 text files each one for a different thumbnailer
[03:34] <TJ-> cainus: You need to update the package lists; there's a newer version in the archive. do "sudo apt-get update"
[03:34] <lagreca> trism: including totem.thumbnailer
[03:35] <TUplink> lidar: just do this /etc/run/LCD& ?
[03:35] <trism> lagreca: see if any of them use %u, I think it changed to %i
[03:35] <lidar> TUplink, yeah that should fix you up so long as LCD is the script
[03:35] <TUplink> im gonna try it
[03:36] <TUplink> lidar: thanks for the help ./rc.local returns me to the shell thats going to fix it
[03:37] <lidar> TUplink, no problem
[03:37] <TUplink> lidar: can you do that with any command? the & will background it
[03:37] <cainus> TJ- alright... updating... :)  thanks for the help
[03:38] <neooO> guyz i need lil help to install kvm hypervisor any links
[03:38] <lidar> TUplink, yeah \
[03:38] <TJ-> neooO: It's already installed
[03:38] <neooO> i am getting permission denied error
[03:38] <neooO>  unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: Permission denied
[03:39] <trism> lagreca: hmm, maybe that doesn't really matter, which thumbnailers are in /usr/share/thumbnailers/ ? I seem to already have three by default, maybe you just need to write a .thumbnailer file for ffmpeg and mplayer
[03:39] <lidar> TUplink, are you familiar with screen ?
[03:40] <lagreca> trism: yes, they use %u
[03:40] <TJ-> neooO: Try this: "sudo service libvirt-bin start"
[03:40] <lagreca> trism: then I'll write a thumbnailer file for ffmpeg
[03:40] <trism> lagreca: I notice totem still uses %u so that must be okay
[03:40] <neooO> i will try after it can i use graphical mode also?
[03:40] <trism> lagreca: I changed my zip thumbnailer to %i for some reason, been a while since I messed with it
[03:41] <lagreca> trism: I'll write a .thumbnailer for ffmpeg and see what happens
[03:42] <TJ-> neooO: It should be started in runlevels 2-5 unless you've changed the system configuration
[03:42] <lagreca> trism: thanks
[03:42] <trism> lagreca: alright, good luck
[03:42] <crackerjackz> how do i get a root shell from the live cd/
[03:42] <TJ-> neooO: Check /etc/default/libvirt-bin
[03:42] <crackerjackz> when i type su or sudo it ask for a password
[03:42] <lidar> crackerjackz, type sudo su
[03:43] <crackerjackz> lidar: thank you
[03:43] <TJ-> crackerjackz: the password is empty if I recall correctly
[03:43] <neooO> Tj , i tried. it is already running :s
[03:43] <TJ-> neooO: OK, try restarting it "sudo service libvirt-bin restart"
[03:43] <crackerjackz> TJ-: nah empty password doesn't work
[03:43] <crackerjackz> TJ-:  lidar is right you have to type sudo su
[03:43] <GoldStandard> will the turboprint ppd files work without turboprint installed?
[03:44] <lidar> GoldStandard, your questions answers itself
[03:44] <TJ-> neooO: Are you using "Virtual Machine Manager" to control the  KVM guests?
[03:44] <neooO> TJ libvirt-bin not present in /etc/default directory
[03:44] <neooO> yea
[03:44] <GoldStandard> lidar how so?
[03:44] <TJ-> neooO: It should be. Are you using Precise?
[03:45] <neooO> virtual machine manager
[03:45] <lidar> GoldStandard, does a coffee ground make coffee without a coffee maker ?
[03:45] <TJ-> neooO: Looks like you've changed the configuration at some point, you'll need to reinstall: "sudo apt-get --reinstall install libvirt-bin"
[03:45] <TUplink> Thanks all its always a Pleasure
[03:46] <neooO> okay
[03:46] <neooO> i will try
[03:46] <GoldStandard> lidar but i tried installing the printer using only the turboprint-created ppd file and it worked
[03:46] <neooO> :)
[03:46] <lidar> a ppd is a file containing information .. about printing .. it needs something to read it ;)
[03:46] <neooO> ty bro
[03:46] <FloodBot1> neooO: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:46] <neooO> k
[03:46] <GoldStandard> lidar so if I uninstall turboprint it won't work anymore?
[03:47] <crackerjackz> i think i fixed the hard disk
[03:48] <lidar> GoldStandard, ive never used turbo print but im 99% anything that is removed will no longer funtion optimally
[03:48] <lidar> crackerjackz, what was wrong no grub ?
[03:49] <crackerjackz> lidar: nah grub worked... the kernel wouldn't boot but i fixed the hard disk errors with fsck
[03:49] <crackerjackz> imma go ahead and install a different OS on here as well
[03:49] <GoldStandard> lidar :/ you're right
[03:50] <lidar> crackerjackz, like ubuntu ?
[03:50] <lidar> GoldStandard, ty third time tonight ;)
[03:50] <crackerjackz> lidar: as a matter of fact i am putting ubuntu on there for him
[03:51] <crackerjackz> lidar: i was gonna go with gentoo but since he doesn't know much about linux i figure ubuntu would be a good start
[03:51] <crackerjackz> hes already used mint so he is familiar with debian at least
[03:51] <lidar> you mean gentoo still exists :O
[03:53] <OneUp03> I'm having some trouble with courier-imap and wondering if anyone is knowledgeable about it.
[03:53] <lidar> could always  do a lfs system if its for learning ...
[03:56] <wibbit2> I'm trying to use aircrack and it keeps changing the channel to -1... how do I view a list of connection managers installed on ubuntu?
[03:56] <AndAy> airmon will list the conflicting PIDs
[03:57] <wibbit2> 22:54:17  wlan1 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 6
[03:57] <wibbit2> Something is changing it back to -1
[04:00] <wibbit2> can i use iwconfig to set it to a fixed channel?
[04:01] <wibbit2> sudo iwconfig wlan1 channel 6 ???
[04:01] <lidar> wibbit2, airmon-ng start wlan1 it will list PIDs/programs that conflict
[04:02] <wibbit2> 00:02:28  wlan1 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel 6
[04:02] <wibbit2> alright thanks
[04:03] <lidar> wibbit2, just kill -9 PID of what it sees
[04:04] <wibbit2> 1057	avahi-daemon 1058	avahi-daemon 1654	wpa_supplicant 9119	NetworkManager 9136	dhclient Process with PID 9136 (dhclient) is running on interface eth1
[04:04] <crackerjackz> i love you all - been getting help on freenode for years thank you all... much love from roanoke virginia
[04:04] <wibbit2> im guessing kill off networkmanager
[04:04] <wibbit2> any others appear to be setting it to channel -1?
[04:04] <lidar> wibbit2 kill all of them
[04:04] <wibbit2> alright thanks
[04:07] <wibbit2> that failed they all just all reloaded
[04:07] <lidar> those dirty buggers
[04:08] <lidar> might be able to use the init scripts to kill them /etc/init.d/scrept stop
[04:09] <lidar> could do it the angry way .. apt-get remove .. but it would be hard to get back online
[04:17] <sam_> hey how can i restore ubuntu 12.04 to factory default. without reinstalling it. I want all the softwares and other things gone
[04:17] <viewer> i was trying to change my grub menu order with grub-customizer and ended up getting stuck at a grub shell, even when I plug in my installer thumdrive.  how can i...hook it back up...?
[04:18] <lidar> viewer, boot from thumbdrive and use boot repair
[04:18] <wilee-nilee> viewer, Do you know how to reload grub to the mbr?
[04:18] <lidar> sam_, you probably just need to make a new user account
[04:19] <sam_> is it possible to make a thumb drive in a small partition in my pc. I mean like recovery partition for ubuntu
[04:19] <lidar> sam_, try out unetbootin
[04:19] <mahapatrasworoop> hello all :)
[04:20] <sam_> ok thanks lindar
[04:20] <lidar> sam_, i beleive it can install the .iso image to a harddrive ..
[04:20] <lidar> sam_, in your case to a partition on the harddrive
[04:20] <viewer> wilee-nilee, , not manually, i did try booting the thumbdrive but it went to the same prompt and just lists and extra hd in ls
[04:20] <mahapatrasworoop> lidar, unetbootin only allows for making a bootable USB disk
[04:20] <mahapatrasworoop> i think :P
[04:21] <sam_> so how can ichoose between windows recovery partition and ubuntu partion . I use alt+F12 re install windows
[04:21] <lidar> mahapatrasworoop, yeah could possibly use it to make the usb stick .. then use dd to copy that to a partititon
[04:21] <sam_> should i use the same for ubuntu
[04:22] <viewer> i cant even get a list of commands because when i type help it scrolls them all up, and I cant use |more or |less
[04:22] <lidar> sam_, do you want to keep windows ?
[04:22] <wilee-nilee> viewer, This was from the boot from menu outside of the bios?
[04:22] <mahapatrasworoop> it would ask to format that drive.. sam_, possible loss of data
[04:22] <sam_> yep I need my win7
[04:22] <sam_> for auto cad
[04:23] <mahapatrasworoop> install ubuntu and use w7 on vbox?
[04:23] <mahapatrasworoop> autocad can also be installed on a linux PC
[04:23] <mahapatrasworoop> using Wine
[04:23] <lidar> p
[04:23] <viewer> "outside" of the bios?  it comes right after the the bios screen shows at boot
[04:24] <sam_> really I never knew wine is that strong to install such a complex software on it!!
[04:24] <mahapatrasworoop> it wasn't
[04:24] <mahapatrasworoop> but now  it can :)
[04:24] <lidar> sam_, use virtualbox ..
[04:24] <mahapatrasworoop> virtualbox is your best option..
[04:24] <eric> whats going on
[04:24] <sam_> ok lidar . im installing vbox
[04:25] <mahapatrasworoop> do you want to dual-boot sam_?
[04:25] <sam_> I have dual boot
[04:25] <mahapatrasworoop> u just need a recovery for Ubuntu?
[04:25] <lidar> sam_, you dont have too .. i dual boot it works well /sda1 recovery sda2 is some 100mb acer thing sda3 is windows7 .. then a logical partion /sda4 and /swap for ubuntu
[04:25] <Guest61087> yall try out my irc server <IP_ADDRESS> port 6667
[04:25] <sam_> yep maha
[04:26] <mahapatrasworoop> hello Guest61087
[04:26] <viewer> wilee-nilee, oh i misread you, yes it takes me to this grub prompt no matter which one i directly choose to boot from at the bios screen
[04:26] <Guest61087> whats up
[04:26] <mahapatrasworoop> what is the server for? IRC chat on topic?
[04:26] <crimsonmane> Guest61087: what is the purpose of your IRC server?
[04:26] <mahapatrasworoop> sam_ then first try lidar's method of unetbootin
[04:26] <lidar> Guest61087, is there free porn or food involved ?
[04:26] <mahapatrasworoop> then use VB
[04:26] <Guest61087> I installed it as a beer and wine irc
[04:26] <mahapatrasworoop> Lidar, LOL
[04:27] <sam_> how much swap is good i got 6gig
[04:27] <sam_> ok maha
[04:27] <mahapatrasworoop> 4 is more than enuf i suppose
[04:27] <crimsonmane> Guest61087: i see no reason to use your server if my objective is met on this one.
[04:27] <Guest61087> thats ok
[04:27] <mahapatrasworoop> i hv been running on 4gigs since 2 yrs
[04:28] <sam_> thanks lidar and maha Im leaving
[04:28] <mahapatrasworoop> k :)
[04:28] <mahapatrasworoop> bye
[04:29] <lidar> Guest61087, it says server load is too heavy .. did your irc just call me fat ?
[04:29] <Guest61087> I don't think so
[04:30] <Guest61087> humm, I wounder why it would have to much load, I'm the only one on it
[04:31] <lidar> just you and me in #beer
[04:32] <ananzaa> Is any way to install ubuntu from livecd without using ubiquity??
[04:32] <ananzaa> Is there*
[04:32] <mahapatrasworoop> ananzaa u cn boot from your livecd
[04:34] <crimsonmane> ananzaa: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[04:35] <ananzaa> I'm already in live cd. Thing is I formatted my linux partition and grub was on it too so now I don't have a bootloader installed so I can't reboot. Ubiquity crashes so I'm looking for an alternative.
[04:35] <ananzaa> @crimsonmane I don't have a bootloader so I can't reboot
[04:35] <crimsonmane> ananzaa: what?
[04:35] <mahapatrasworoop> @ananza which live cd do you have
[04:36] <ananzaa> ubuntu 10.04
[04:36] <crimsonmane> ananzaa: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
[04:36] <crimsonmane> dummy
[04:36] <ananzaa> crimsonmane: I can't reboot so how is alternative cd going to help me?
[04:37] <crimsonmane> ananzaa: you're confused as to what your problem is.
[04:37] <lidar> crimsonmane, thats an understatement
[04:37] <mahapatrasworoop> crimsonmane: let handle the problem cooly bro :)
[04:38] <crimsonmane> Rule Number 1 When Asking For Help: Admit you don't know.
[04:38] <mahapatrasworoop> ananza u can reboot using your reset button on desktop or the powerbutton on the laptop
[04:38] <david__>  hello all. Is synaptic installed in Ubuntu 12.04 by deafault ?
[04:38] <mahapatrasworoop> hello david_
[04:38] <mahapatrasworoop> no it is not installed
[04:38] <mahapatrasworoop> type sudo apt-get install synaptic
[04:38] <mahapatrasworoop> in terminal
[04:38] <david__> crazy lol. yea no problem
[04:38] <david__> thanks
[04:38] <mahapatrasworoop> wlcm
[04:39] <rich_> hello
[04:39] <ananzaa> ok I might be a noob to linux/unix but I'm not that noob to not know how to restart. The problem is I uninstalled GRUB, so when I reboot I'll probably have an operating system not found error or something
[04:39] <mahapatrasworoop> no u won;t
[04:39] <mahapatrasworoop> just boot from your live cd
[04:40] <mahapatrasworoop> using BIOS menu select boot from DVD/CD Drive
[04:40] <mahapatrasworoop> u will boot into your live cd
[04:40] <mahapatrasworoop> then install from there
[04:40] <ananzaa> My CD-Rom is broken so I'm booting from harddrive
[04:40] <rich_> how do i know what version of ubuntu i am using? 12.04 or 12.04.1
[04:42] <rich_> how do i know what version of ubuntu i am using? 12.04 or 12.04.1?
[04:42] <phax> Hi guys, how do I troubleshoot the gdm service not starting properly. Everytime I boot on F8 there kubuntu logo is showing with the image changing as if it will move to a next screen but it is stuck there. And I start gdm from a shell session with service gdm start. Can you please advise how to go about fixing this.
[04:42] <WeThePeople> rich_ 'lsb_release -a'
[04:42] <Tynach> Hello, world! I'm having an odd issue with my laptop.
[04:42] <rich_> thank you wethepeople
[04:43] <Tynach> I recently installed KDE, but I wanted to keep LightDM as the default display manager. However, no matter what I do, it keeps using KDM.
[04:43] <Tynach> I have tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[04:43] <Tynach> And the same with lightdm.
[04:43] <Tynach> And both right after each other.
[04:43] <Tynach> But nothing's working.
[04:43] <WeThePeople> np
[04:43] <Tynach> Every time I boot up, it uses KDM.
[04:43] <a_Grey_Hat> nautilus
[04:43] <a_Grey_Hat> Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyCould not parse arguments: Cannot open display:
[04:44] <mahapatrasworoop> ananza reply to the pvt msg
[04:44] <a_Grey_Hat> via ssh -X
[04:44] <lotuspsychje> a_Grey_Hat: i got same on opening firefox on sux
[04:44] <rich_> has anyone got itunes to work on ubuntu? lol
[04:45] <wan26> A while ago with wine, but got rid of wine
[04:45] <lotuspsychje> a_Grey_Hat:i dont think its an error
[04:45] <a_Grey_Hat> i used to be able to connect when i was useing ubuntu to ubuntu or mac to ubuntu, but im on arch now and this is the error i get
[04:45] <Tynach> lotuspsychje, looks like an error to me. Especially with "Cannot open display". But I don't know how to debug that. I've SSH -X'd a few times, but never had problems.
[04:45] <WeThePeople> anybody know of a cool lookin terminal emulator
[04:46] <a_Grey_Hat> WeThePeople terminator, boayo or somthing like that
[04:46] <lotuspsychje> a_Grey_Hat: do you ssh to another user maybe?
[04:46] <a_Grey_Hat> im root to root
[04:46] <a_Grey_Hat> or user name to username
[04:47] <a_Grey_Hat> they both do that error
[04:47] <lotuspsychje> !info sux | a_Grey_Hat
[04:47] <a_Grey_Hat> its my local server im connecting to
[04:48] <david__> hey just installed chromium under synaptic and notice bad integration with the close, minimize and maximize window buttons
[04:48] <OmegaPex> exit
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> a_Grey_Hat: i think its like an X limit for security or something, i got same warnings on sux
[04:48] <matts45acp> can someone here tell me if a firewall in ubuntu is necessary when using something like a hotels wifi?
[04:48] <david__> since chromium has its own buttons and when I full screen i also get the ubuntu buttons as well
[04:49] <Tynach> a_Grey_Hat, I will say you should probably ask the Arch Linux guys. Also, their wiki is one of the most well documented wikis out there; I go to it for a lot of things, even though I've never used Arch.
[04:49] <Tynach> But does anyone have any ideas about my kdm/lightdm issue?
[04:50] <a_Grey_Hat> Tynach lotuspsychje   dudes i installed sux on arch and then ssh -X logged in then ran gedit an its working
[04:50] <a_Grey_Hat> i guess it was something fishing
[04:50] <a_Grey_Hat> lol
[04:50] <lotuspsychje> Tynach: did you enable auto login?
[04:50] <Tynach> lotuspsychje, no, I always type my password to log in.
[04:51] <Tynach> For a good reason too.
[04:51] <Tynach> But it keeps booting up with the KDM login screen.
[04:51] <Tynach> But I want it to use LightDM.
[04:51] <lotuspsychje> Tynach:did you install unity?
[04:51] <Tynach> sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm/kdm doesn't work.
[04:51] <Tynach> lotuspsychje, Unity was there by default.
[04:51] <Tynach> KDE is what I installed.
[04:51] <lotuspsychje> ic
[04:52] <Tynach> I'm looking through the rc.d folders, and don't see EITHER of them being used or triggered :/
[04:52] <lotuspsychje> Tynach: i had same on lubuntu-desktop, so i had to logout and choose back autologin unity
[04:52] <lidar> Tynach, apt-get remove kdm
[04:53] <Tynach> lidar, removing KDM is a bit extreme, but I suppose I could do that. lotuspsychje, that doesn't even make sense.
[04:54] <T_H_X> Tynach: maybe check out X11/default-display-manager
[04:54] <T_H_X> not 100% sure
[04:54] <lidar> matts45acp, do you have services running ?
[04:54] <T_H_X> in /etc
[04:55] <Tynach> T_H_X, cating default-display-manager gives "/usr/sbin/lightdm".
[04:55] <T_H_X> change it to /path/to/kdm
[04:55] <T_H_X> dontknow if it will work
[04:55] <Tynach> T_H_X, I don't want KDM to be default.
[04:56] <T_H_X> ok
[04:56] <lidar> that would suck
[04:56] <Tynach> KDM is what is running, but I want LightDM to run.
[04:56] <T_H_X> awww
[04:56] <Tynach> All indications show that LightDM should run at boot, but it's not.
[04:56] <daedaluz> Tynach when you install any window manager it should ask you which you want?
[04:56] <T_H_X> do you have /etc/init/lightdm.conf  or kdm.conf
[04:57] <Random832> How can I troubleshoot it continuing to boot to the old version of the kernel even when I uninstalled it?
[04:57] <Tynach> daedaluz, yeah, I know, and I've tried the reconfigure command.
[04:57] <Random832> I can't see the boot menu due to some monitor mode thing, and setting grub to console mode didn't fix anything
[04:58] <matts45acp> lidar, what do you mean services
[04:58] <T_H_X> Tynach: also check in /etc/init.d/kdm
[04:58] <Tynach> T_H_X, you mean /etc/init.d/kdm or lightdm? Yeah, I have both. I'm not sure what folder Ubuntu uses for the init scripts to be called depending on runtime; I don't know much about managing Upstart.
[04:58] <Random832> can someone help me with this?
[04:58] <Samizdat> I'm having serious issues with my wifi card, was wondering if it could be driver related.  Is converting an .rpm to .deb and trying that a bad idea?
[04:58] <rich_> hey guys... i seen someone using some sorta skin/effect for the terminal window... where when resizing the terminal window..the edges bounce back and forth like a spring.....  anyone know what skin/effect that is??
[04:58] <lidar> matts45acp, webserver file share vnc anything like that ?
[04:58] <Random832> rich_: just on the terminal window, not on all the windows?
[04:58] <matts45acp> no
[04:59] <lidar> rich_, compiz
[04:59] <matts45acp> lidar, no
[04:59] <T_H_X> Tynach: try update-rc.d -f kdm remove
[04:59] <rich_> i dunno.. i just seen it on the terminal window
[04:59] <gnomefreak> rich_: compiz settings IIRC
[04:59] <matts45acp> lidar, ill just be using a browser and basic stuff nothing major
[04:59] <lidar> matts45acp, there is very minimal toworry about
[04:59] <rich_> ok thank you.. i will look into that...i am extremely new to ubuntu and linux... dont know how to install skins/effects yet...lol
[05:00] <matts45acp> lidar, what about accesing my bank account on the website and stuff?
[05:00] <gnomefreak> not sdo much as install as opposded to changing options
[05:00] <Tynach> T_H_X, I remember there was a utility to view the runtime configuration (like a graphical update-rc.d), do you remember what it's called?
[05:00] <Samizdat> IS there a better way to find a wifi driver than converting a suse linux one?
[05:00] <T_H_X> Tynach: no
[05:00] <Tynach> The laptop is rebooting by the way.
[05:00] <Samizdat> The manu. offers those.
[05:00] <lidar> matts45acp, thats all way safer no problems there
[05:01] <T_H_X> Tynach; try it, you can add it back with update-rc.d kdm defaults
[05:01] <Tynach> adfasdfasdf
[05:01] <Tynach> It's still using KDM!
[05:01] <Tynach> Even after that!
[05:01] <lidar> Tynach, apt-get remove is looking better and better i bet :P
[05:01] <matts45acp> lidar, ok well what would i even need a firewall for in ubuntu anyway?
[05:01] <T_H_X> Tynach: is there a /etc/init.d/kdm.conf  .?
[05:01] <WeThePeople> rich_, system, preferences, appearance
[05:02] <lidar> matts45acp, no default kernel repsonse is disconnect
[05:02] <T_H_X> Tynach: i meant, is there a /etc/init/kdm.conf  .?
[05:02] <rich_> thank you WeThePeople... looking at it now
[05:02] <paulus68> At startup I get the following error message "The disk drive for /media/applications is not ready yet or not present Continue to wait press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery how do I solve this?
[05:02] <Tynach> T_H_X, yes.
[05:02] <lotuspsychje> isnt lightdm with unity, so removing kde would boot lightdm again?
[05:03] <T_H_X> Tynach: move it out of there
[05:03] <daedaluz> lotuspsychje: nope, even xubuntu uses lightdm
[05:03] <lidar> matts45acp, firewalls are mostly used for access control .. for instance you could make it so nobody in china could connect to your computer
[05:03] <WeThePeople> rich_, what version of ubuntu do you use
[05:04] <rich_> 12.04.1
[05:04] <matts45acp> lidar, well i dont want anyone in my computer at anytime so do you think ill need one?
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> daedaluz:ok
[05:04] <daedaluz> paulus68: it's external? what format?
[05:04] <Tynach> T_H_X, rebooting again after moving the file.
[05:04] <T_H_X> Tynach: roger roger
[05:04] <lidar> matts45acp, nope probably not
[05:04] <paulus68> daedaluz: it's an internal drive linux formatted
[05:05] <lidar> matts45acp, try out some security tools for fun .. nmap ect. ect.
[05:05] <paulus68> daedaluz: not my /root drive
[05:05] <Tynach> T_H_X, it is STILL using KDM!
[05:05] <matts45acp> lidar, ok cool, now what about windows would i need a firewall if using that on public wifi?
[05:05] <lotuspsychje> !info snort | matts45acp
[05:05] <Tynach> This doesn't make ANY sense.
[05:06] <T_H_X> Tynach: im out of ideas, id have to google now
[05:06] <lidar> matts45acp, i wouldnt suggest using windows on a secure network let alone a public one
[05:06] <a_Grey_Hat> Tynach lotuspsychje   dudes i installed sux on arch. THAT FIXED IT!
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> Tynach:wich would boot if you remove kde you think?
[05:06] <paulus68> daedaluz: If I skip the server is booting up correctly without the drive mounted ofcourse
[05:06] <a_Grey_Hat> Tynach lotuspsychje thanks
[05:06] <lotuspsychje> a_Grey_Hat:cool that its fixxed mate
[05:07] <matts45acp> lidar, ok so as long as im using ubuntu i should be good right?
[05:07] <a_Grey_Hat> i got to run sux first but that works for me
[05:07] <lidar> matts45acp, yes .. but if you open some scam scam site from an email and type your password in .. same result no matter what os you use
[05:07] <Tynach> lotuspsychje, it doesn't matter if KDE is installed. It's KDM. I'm going to try removing KDM. That'll either fix it, or make the computer unbootable.
[05:07] <daedaluz> paulus68: start by checking it is setup correctly in /etc/fstab
[05:08] <thenumb3rguy> hi
[05:08] <lidar> Tynach, worse case login then type startx :P
[05:08] <pyrrhic_> hey guys
[05:08] <thenumb3rguy> how to get postfix work with SASL-auth?
[05:08] <Tynach> Ok, it's rebooting again. Lets see how this goes.
[05:08] <Tynach> lidar, yeah, I know :P
[05:08] <paulus68> daedaluz: already did and I don't see any problems there was booting correctly previously but had a power cutt off since then I have that problem
[05:08] <lidar> Tynach, you can alwasy execute the lightdm from rc.local if all else fails
[05:09] <pyrrhic_> Anyone have experience with executable shell files? I need some help.
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> Tynach:what about a lightdm restart?
[05:09] <lidar> pyrrhic_, chmod +x foo.sh ?
[05:09] <pyrrhic_> Not like that lidar.. I know how to make it executable. I'm confused in actual code.
[05:09] <thenumb3rguy> I need some help getting postfix working with thunderbird and also smtp server with ssl auth
[05:09] <paulus68> daedaluz: drive is still available  in bios
[05:10] <wan26> that sets the perms to make it so
[05:10] <pyrrhic_> I'm trying to install League of Legends on 12.04 and a piece of the script from wineHQ is confusing me
[05:10] <lotuspsychje> !info playonlinux | pyrrhic_
[05:10] <jagginess> !wine
[05:10] <Tynach> ... Ok. It's still coming up with a KDM looking screen. Is this some sort of KDE-themed LightDM skin I didn't know I installed?
[05:10] <lidar> pyrrhic_,  no games here we are all about serious things !!!
[05:10] <pyrrhic_> Lol.
[05:10] <daedaluz> paulus68: so it's a hadware failure. can't read the disk at all? it's done for. obviously it is still visible, tho.
[05:11] <wan26> !info gufw
[05:11] <lotuspsychje> paulus68: are you using pysdm?
[05:11] <thenumb3rguy> I need some help getting postfix working with thunderbird and also smtp server with ssl auth
[05:11] <paulus68> lotuspsychje: not that I am aware off
[05:11] <lidar> thenumb3rguy, may i suggest trying out webmin ?
[05:11] <paulus68> lotuspsychje: it's on a 12.04 server
[05:12] <lotuspsychje> paulus68: i had issues on fstab with pysdm, ntfs-3g fixxed it for me
[05:12] <daedaluz> Tynach: run ps -A|grep lightdm
[05:12] <Mikness> So, my SSD is going to pot and I'd like to duplicate my OS setup on a spare HDD before sending it off to the manufacturer. I've got 12.04 imbedded in a Windows 7 NTFS (through Wubi). How can I go about this?
[05:12] <mahapatrasworoop> david_ did u try Google Chrome ( not chromium )
[05:12] <systemd0wn> Attempting to install 12.04.1 amd64 alternative but it keeps failing on software install
[05:12] <pyrrhic_> lotuspsychje: Can you pm me?
[05:13] <Tynach> daedaluz, two processes show up with that command.
[05:13] <paulus68> lotuspsychje: should I try manual recovery?
[05:13] <Tynach> So lightdm is running.
[05:13] <daedaluz> Tynach: run ps -A|grep kdm
[05:13] <Tynach> THat's what I just did.
[05:13] <Tynach> Oh.
[05:13] <Tynach> KDM.
[05:13] <Tynach> Yeah, nothing there.
[05:13] <lotuspsychje> pyrrhic_:im not really game expert, try to see if your game is on playonlinux
[05:13] <Tynach> So KDM is not running. It's a KDE theme for LightDM.
[05:13] <Tynach> I do not remember installing one :s
[05:13] <daedaluz> Tynach: yuo it's kdm-themed ightdm you are running, so all well in kingdom
[05:13] <T_H_X> lol
[05:13] <pyrrhic_> It is, but I have problems there as well. I don't want to flood the IRC or I'd just post the lines of code.
[05:14] <lidar> pyrrhic_, use pastebin
[05:14] <Tynach> daedaluz, T_H_X, thanks for your help... Now I have to figure out how to use the original Ubuntu theme (loved it, prefer it).
[05:14] <wan26> Mikness have you tried clonezilla
[05:14] <daedaluz> Tynach: something in /usr/share I think
[05:15] <lotuspsychje> paulus68:you could pastebin etc/fstab in pastebin in channel
[05:15] <Mikness> wan26, no, what's that?
[05:15] <wan26> Clones partitions or drives
[05:15] <lidar> Mikness, just use dd
[05:15] <Tynach> daedaluz, just googled, nope, it's in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[05:15] <Mikness> lidar, dd?
[05:16] <Tynach> And yep, it was set to the KDE greeter.
[05:16] <lidar> !info dd Mikness
[05:16] <wan26> yeah thats a better option
[05:16] <Tynach> Switched back to Unity greeter.
[05:16] <lidar> !info dd
[05:16] <Tynach> Rebooting to test.
[05:16] <lotuspsychje> lidar: man dd
[05:16] <Mikness> haha, k
[05:16] <lidar> ubotto fails!
[05:16] <Mikness> !dd
[05:17] <pyrrhic_> lotus: http://pastebin.com/vVJA8cgz
[05:17] <wan26> ubotto is in a mood
[05:17] <wan26> u
[05:17] <Mikness> lidar, can you explain how dd operates?
[05:17] <Tynach> daedaluz, T_H_X, it works now! Thanks for your help, and I'm sorry I was so misinformed about what was causing the problem.
[05:17] <lotuspsychje> Mikness: man dd in terminal
[05:18] <Mikness> lotuspsychje, yeah, it's not giving me too much to go on there.
[05:18] <lidar> pyrrhic_, the $scriptwd is a variable it probaly assighned as full path up above somewhere
[05:18] <paulus68> lotuspsychje: http://pastebin.ca/2198140
[05:19] <a2f> Hi, having a problem with KDE where the windows pull apart randomly as if it were GNOME3 and I had moved my mouse to the upper-left corner of the screen. Anyone seen this behavior? How can I disable it?
[05:19] <systemd0wn> Question,
[05:19] <lotuspsychje> paulus68:you got ntfs drives on there?
[05:19] <systemd0wn> Is it just me or is the alt cd still broken?
[05:20] <T_H_X> dd if=/dev/sdx? | gzip > disk-backup.dd.gz
[05:20] <pyrrhic_> lidar, I posted the original article's link in that pastebin and the part i'm confused on is highlighted in yellow. I'm just unsure what it means.
[05:20] <paulus68> lotuspsychje: no
[05:20] <pyrrhic_> Also. I don't know how to "Whisper" on IRC. So please inform me if you don't mind sharing. #IRC Newb
[05:20] <lotuspsychje> paulus68: all ext4?
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> nvm
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> paulus68: try testdisk to check all your drives mate, maybe one got broke?
[05:21] <lidar> pyrrhic_, why dont you try crossover ?
[05:21] <lotuspsychje> !info testdisk | paulus68
[05:21] <Mikness> T_H_X, is that just to create a backup file?
[05:22] <lidar> pyrrhic_, i have always had way more success with it playing games
[05:22] <T_H_X> Mikness: yes, it will create a compressed dump of you disk /dev/sda or whatever disk you want backed up
[05:24] <biohazrd> is there a quick way in aptitude to select recommended packages?
[05:24] <Mikness> T_H_X, thanks, but I'm looking to duplicate my drive so I can actually use it as an os, not just a backup
[05:24] <T_H_X> Mikness: put the disk you want to backup in another ubuntu pc. unmount the drives you want to backup first before you run dd
[05:25] <jagginess> biohazard, maybe
[05:25] <jagginess> (check the manpage)
[05:25] <biohazrd> been readind and googlin' all day. my eyes are bleending
[05:25] <lotuspsychje> lol
[05:25] <jagginess> man aptitutde (rtfm!:)
[05:26] <jagginess> !aptitude
[05:26] <lotuspsychje> biohazrd:any packages you lookin for?
[05:26] <biohazrd> i forget what they were now.. it was for an update and it recommend 2 additionals on top of the 48 that i updated
[05:26] <pyrrhic_> Crossover? Because it costs?
[05:26] <jagginess> often more junk gets installed you'll never use anyways, i never have auto-selection if it were possible with recommends
[05:26] <T_H_X> Mikness:to restore it later, do the same thing but run, zcat disk-backup.dd.gz | dd of=/dev/sdc  or wherever the disk is to be restored to
[05:27] <lidar> pyrrhic_, try it free for a month
[05:27] <biohazrd> i doubt i would find what i want in the man pages anyhow.. its more to do with the user interface and how to use it.
[05:27] <Mikness> T_H_X, will that work regardless of the OS? It's just byte for byte, right?
[05:28] <T_H_X> Mikness: yes
[05:28] <lotuspsychje> i got this corrupt mouse pointer every cold boot on precise, any clue to fix?
[05:28] <pyrrhic_> lidar, it's a 7-day trial. Anywho. My main problem is not understanding the code. Would you mind taking a look into that?
[05:28] <Mikness> Thanks, T_H_X , lidar wan26 . I'll give it a shot
[05:28] <lidar> lotuspsychje, thats interesting problem
[05:28] <T_H_X> Mikness: just make sure the disk you restore to is exact same size or larger
[05:29] <lotuspsychje> lidar:i got it on few systems with ati cards, square mouse pointer
[05:29] <Mikness> T_H_X, can do. I'm going from 64GB to 750GB. I can resize partitions after?
[05:29] <lotuspsychje> lidar: a reboot makes it go away again
[05:29] <paulus68> lotuspsychje: how to use testdisk if the system didn't mount the drive to start with?
[05:30] <lidar> what about unloading and reloading the module lotuspsychje
[05:30] <lidar> the graphics one
[05:30] <lotuspsychje> lidar: ati card driver module restart?
[05:30] <lotuspsychje> lidar: ok i could try
[05:30] <paulus68> lotuspsychje: or do I startup and use testdisk in recovery mode?
[05:30] <T_H_X> Mikness: yes, should be able to resize
[05:31] <lotuspsychje> paulus68:did you try if it sees the partition?
[05:32] <lidar> lotuspsychje, what about just logging out and backin so x server restarts does that fix it or its a complete reboot that does it
[05:32] <lotuspsychje> lidar:didnt check the logout, just know every morning on cold boot it happens
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> lidar:oh it happens before login screen
[05:35] <lidar> lotuspsychje i would still try restarting x without a reboot .. if it that fixes it the problem would be higher level with the xserver .. if the logging out ect. and the box stays i would lean towards the kernel module
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> lidar: what the command to restart x
[05:36] <paulus68> lotuspsychje: it doesn't see the partition in order to boot up the server I needed to skip mounting the drive with problems
[05:38] <lotuspsychje> paulus68:maybe you should try a bootcdrom then to check hd's and enable smart in bios, check drive boot if hd shows..etc
[05:38] <lidar> hmm /etcinit.d/gdm restart used to work not sure how much the init scripts have changed recently
[05:38] <pyrrhic_> GC_DONT_GC=1 $WINEXE $scriptWD/LeagueofLegends.exe <--- What does the $WINEXE part and $scriptWD mean??!?!?!
[05:39] <lotuspsychje> lidar:isnt it lightdm restart?
[05:39] <T_H_X> pyrrhic_: WINEXE=  defines that  .. somewhere in your script
[05:39] <pyrrhic_> lotus, sudo service gdm restart.
[05:40] <pyrrhic_> T_H_X, can you review this script and figure out what I need to change... http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19141 ??
[05:40] <lidar> pyrrhic_, they are variables assigned furthur above somewhere there will be a line SCRIPTWD=/path/to/program/file.exe
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> ok tnx fellas
[05:40] <lotuspsychje> im out
[05:40] <lidar> lotuspsychje, yeah could be ive out of the game for a few years :))
[05:40] <pyrrhic_> lidar, Unity still uses gnome. So it's gdm.
[05:41] <pyrrhic_> But I remember that used to work. :D
[05:42] <lidar> i remeber back in the day having to write xconfigs by hand
[05:42] <lidar>  disabled the silly guis logins so i could see error messages lol
[05:42] <T_H_X> pyrrhic_: you want to change it so its like   WINEXE=/usr/bin/wine
[05:43] <jagginess> aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh my god.. look at that it says WINEXE.. That's despicable..
[05:43] <pyrrhic_> How do you send messages like so, T_H_X ?  I'm sure it's quite awful. I'm just trying to play my game though jag. =[
[05:43] <lidar> pyrrhic_,  because he typed your name ?
[05:43] <pyrrhic_> I'm such a failsauce noob at IRC. Lol I thought it was a PM.
[05:44] <T_H_X> pyrrhic_: im using your name with a colon, so your irc client highlights the message
[05:44] <pyrrhic_> Or a "Whisper"
[05:44] <T_H_X> i cant type gooder on thiss eeepc keyboard, i need some hand shrinkage
[05:44] <lidar> xchat private chats are in a diffrent tab
[05:45] <lidar> pyrrhic_, i just molested you  to check what your chatting witrh
[05:45] <pyrrhic_> Lolz
[05:45] <jnott> (ubuntu 64 bit_ does '/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopts' imply that i need a 32 bit autogen / libopts
[05:46] <pyrrhic_> T_H_X: I understand what your saying... but I'm thinking either this script is written terribly. Or I'm just a super scrub at unix-based OS.
[05:48] <schiv> hi
[05:48] <schiv> how do i create a shortcut
[05:48] <T_H_X> pyrrhic_: that script is automated, you dont need to modify it, just run it
[05:48] <lidar> schiv, ln
[05:48] <schiv> lidar: that is a command
[05:48] <lidar> schiv, correct !
[05:48] <schiv> i do not want a command
[05:49] <Nullifi3d> ln makes a link to a file/folder
[05:49] <schiv> whatever
[05:49] <T_H_X> pyrrhic_: copy paste the script to a file and chmod +x thefie , the do ./thefile
[05:49] <Nullifi3d> which is basically a shortcut
[05:49] <schiv> i want to use ubuntu because i thought it was all graphical
[05:49] <Nullifi3d> ln is just one solution
[05:49] <schiv> i always had respect for it for being noob friendly
[05:49] <schiv> but now it is totally not noob friendly
[05:49] <lidar> schiv, there are like 5 ways of doing eveything
[05:50] <schiv> yes, ok then, what is the graphical way of creating a shortcut?
[05:50] <pyrrhic_> T_H_X: I ran it and it made another script. I ran the second one and it just stops.
[05:50] <T_H_X> schiv: just right click the icon and drag it
[05:50] <schiv> it gets copied
[05:50] <schiv> not linked
[05:50] <T_H_X> schiv: hold down shift or alt
[05:50] <T_H_X> or ctrl
[05:51] <T_H_X> cant remember which one, and i dont use a gui :(
[05:51] <lidar> gui's are for people that can multitask .. nobody here can handle them
[05:51] <killer_> how do i enable touchpad clicking in kde
[05:51] <schiv> oh god
[05:51] <T_H_X> i got ubuntu running in vbox on win7
[05:52] <lidar> schiv, have you tried alternative desktops ? lxde and xfce are very nice :P
[05:52] <schiv> lidar: that is not the point
[05:52] <schiv> the point is i cannot create a shortcut
[05:52] <schiv> what the hell is wrong with ubuntu these days?
[05:52] <wan26> right click it then choose make link lol
[05:52] <lidar> schiv, what kind of shortcut are you creating ?
[05:52] <schiv> i just want a symbolic link
[05:53] <schiv> to a folder
[05:53] <lidar> ln -s destination source
[05:53] <schiv> like i said, no commands
[05:53] <schiv> i want my mother to do that
[05:53] <schiv> i expected ubuntu would be perfect
[05:53] <pyrrhic_> T_H_X:  I ran the script, and it created another. Then I ran the second one and nothing happened. Ideas?
[05:53] <wan26> you can right click the folder and choose make link
[05:54] <T_H_X> schiv: left click and drag the icon and hold ctl shift or alt
[05:54] <T_H_X> some combo of that
[05:54] <lidar> does your mother know what you want of her schiv ?
[05:54] <T_H_X> left goof the muse buttin while holding the key
[05:54] <T_H_X> frack this keyboard. geeez
[05:54] <Mikness> T_H_X, partway through i get this: gzip: stdout: File too large
[05:54] <lidar> i think typing a comman is faster
[05:55] <schiv> forget it..one more chance
[05:55] <lidar> Mikness, thats a filesystem limitation or .. out of disk space
[05:55] <schiv> how do i drop to a virtual console?
[05:55] <schiv> i.e. init 3
[05:55] <schiv> or more precisely, telinit 3
[05:56] <Mikness> T_H_X, could I just do "dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda"
[05:56] <lidar> schiv, alt control f3 at same time
[05:56] <schiv> i want to kill the damn X server
[05:56] <schiv> not switch to a vt
[05:56] <Mikness> T_H_X, plenty of disk space. It's a 64GB drive...
[05:56] <schiv> i.e. the alt to telinit 3 for upstart
[05:56] <T_H_X> Mikness : are you copying it to an NTFS or FAT32 drive?
[05:56] <lidar> schiv, hat to be pedantic but that is easier to do from the console
[05:57] <schiv> lidar: alt control f3 switches to the third vt. i just want to "drop", i.e drop from the current runlevel to lower one
[05:58] <lidar> schiv, swith there login sudo telinit 3
[05:58] <schiv> lidar: sudo telinit 3 does not appear to work
[05:58] <schiv> lidar: the command is accepted but i am still here
[05:58] <Mikness> T_H_X, the .gz was going from a 64GB NTFS to a 1TB FAT system, but it's ultimately going to a 750G ext4 (which can be reformatted)
[05:58] <lidar> try telinit 6
[05:58] <Mikness> T_H_X, does that make sense?
[05:59] <schiv> lidar: doesn't upstart have its own way to deal with this stuff rather than runlevels?
[05:59] <T_H_X> Mikness: FAT has a 2GB file limit (i think) format it as ntfs
[05:59] <lidar> schiv, i dunno you want from soemthing simple like making a link to switching runlevels .. not sure how they are related
[05:59] <schiv> not related at all
[06:00] <schiv> just 2 things i was in need of
[06:00] <T_H_X> Mikness: 4 GB
[06:00] <lidar> schiv, while your in the vt you could always use ln to make your link
[06:01] <T_H_X> Mikness: NTFS = 16 TB MAX
[06:02] <T_H_X> Mikness: if you have pleanty of space, dont worry about using gzip, it will be heaps quicker
[06:02] <Mikness> T_H_X, i can't format the drive where I'm saving the .gz
[06:02] <T_H_X> Mikness: ok, pipe it though rar maybe
[06:02] <Mikness> T_H_X, great. So would the command look like what I posted before?
[06:02] <schiv> lidar: of course. it just appeared to me that things must be simpler in GUI in these popular GUI distributions.
[06:03] <Mikness> T_H_X, "dd if=/dev/sdb | rar | of=/dev/sda"?
[06:03] <schiv> but apparently making shortcuts outside of home where you have no permission to write but have permission to read is still not a possibility
[06:03] <lidar> schiv, the gui was created so that porn could be enjoyed on *nix .. its just now migrating toother uses
[06:04] <schiv> holy crap then it is not for my mum. she cannot know i have porn.
[06:04] <lidar> encrypt your ~/ fool !!
[06:05] <jagginess> !ops schiv
[06:05] <jagginess> that's enough schiv.. you're disturbing peaceful talk
[06:05] <schiv> you are correct
[06:05] <ekw> in grub.cfg, where it says set root='(hd0, msdos1)', what does msdos1 mean?
[06:06] <schiv> a rather funny experience with ubuntu
[06:06] <jagginess> ekw, dosmbr partition style table..
[06:06] <jagginess> ekw, if it was gpt, it would say gpt..
[06:06] <jagginess> ekw, msdos1 (the first partition table indicated from a dosmbr partition styled table)
[06:06] <ekw> in the legacy grub, what would it be?  e.g. (hd0, ?)
[06:06] <jagginess> ekw, i dont think grub1 understand gpt
[06:07] <jagginess> ekw, that's why msdos and gpt would show up respective for either a dosmbr or gpt partition table drive
[06:07] <pilgrim> list
[06:07] <jagginess> ekw, (for grub2)
[06:08] <ekw> jagginess: if i wanted to convert (hd0, msdos1) in grub2 to grub1-speak, what would it be?  does that make sense to even ask?
[06:08] <jagginess> ekw, grub1 understand dosmbr.. but no need to um downgrade
[06:08] <lidar_> wb me
[06:08] <Pyrrhic> wb :P
[06:09] <lidar_> gotta love high quality hotel internet conenctions!
[06:09] <ekw> jagginess: I want to make an equivalent menu.lst from the grub.cfg, because I want to run ubuntu under xen.  and some config tools in xen only understands menu.lst from grub1
[06:09] <jagginess> ekw, just use the "grub2"-- if another distro is installed on your machine that doesnt use grub2 that's fine, just get back grub2, and run update-grub2 (which updates grub.cfg, scans drive-- and a new boot entry can be added to that new OS)
[06:10] <ekw> jagginess: namely, pygrub
[06:10] <Pyrrhic> I really wish I knew more about scripting..
[06:11] <[deXter]> Pyrrhic, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language
[06:11] <LarsN> Pyrrhic: scripting is overrated, just type faster ;)
[06:11]  * LarsN kids
[06:11] <[deXter]> There you go, now you know more. Wish granted!
[06:11] <lidar_> Pyrrhic, /exec -o uptime
[06:11] <lidar_> omg someone logged in as root \:O
[06:12] <sidvee> Not sure whether I should be making this query here or not but allow me. I started using linux with ubuntu 2 months back. I just tried linux mint. When I apt-get there it connected to ubuntu repos. Is it something normal? Doesn't linux mint has its own repos?
[06:12]  * LarsN can't remember the last time he was root.
[06:12] <jagginess> !mint
[06:12] <jagginess> ^ (sorry wrong channel)
[06:12] <King_Cobra> wish i had a philly cheese steak hogie....can you grant my wish?
[06:12] <sidvee> jagginess: Sorry! :(
[06:12] <lidar_> sounds like they are too cheap to run there own mirrors
[06:13] <jagginess> I've seen many cheap distros come and go, and I bet mint is one of them (sorry for you mint users, but this is my true feelings about it)
[06:13] <Pyrrhic> The troll is in session.
[06:13] <Pyrrhic> I'm using Ubuntu, trying to get League of Retards working.
[06:13] <sun> hi all
[06:13] <Pyrrhic> Legends*
[06:14] <jagginess> Pyrrhic, the white house?
[06:14] <Pyrrhic> :3
[06:14] <lidar_> oi cant belevie the rpm distros are still around it amazes me they exist
[06:14] <jagginess> Pyrrhic, thought you were saying you were trying to get politicians to start adopting linux
[06:15] <chinmaya_n> I 've two connections. One lan which does not have internet but connects systems and another on wifi for internet connectivity. My ubuntu is trying to get internet from the lan conection rather than the wifi! So, i could not use my internet :( helpme to tel ubuntu to use wifi
[06:16] <Pyrrhic> Jagginess, can you assist me sir?
[06:16] <jagginess> chinmaya_n, pull the ethernet cord
[06:16] <Mikness> T_H_X, sorry, logged. I'm still somewhat of a noob. Is that what you meant by 'piping it through rar'?
[06:16] <jagginess> Pyrrhic, "League of Retards" .. I can't help much with that
[06:17] <jagginess> choose wise words..
[06:17] <lidar_> Mikness, | <--is a pipe
[06:17] <Pyrrhic> "League of Legends"
[06:17] <jagginess> Pyrrhic, is this wine? I never liked wine.. (I think it sux)
[06:17] <Pyrrhic> Yes. :(
[06:17] <Mikness> lidar_, yep, know that. I was wondering what T_H_X meant by piping dd through rar
[06:17] <Pyrrhic> jagginess, I just need to change a few things in a script and it will be going smoothly.
[06:18] <Walther> Mikness: what is your goal? piping dd through rar is a command line task and might be overly complicated
[06:18] <King_Cobra> does this mean i dont get my philly cheese steak?
[06:18] <lidar_> Mikness, dd blah | rar> outfile.rar
[06:18] <thelionroars> !status
[06:18] <Walther> lidar_: mind you, dd is a dangerous tool for someone who has little knowledge
[06:19] <jagginess> Walther, yuppy ! XD
[06:19] <Walther> Mikness: so, what is your current problem
[06:19] <Walther> I will give you instructions to an easier and possibly safer way if I can
[06:19] <lidar_> Walther, he has been training for like 2 hours on it now
[06:19] <Mikness> ...
[06:19] <Pyrrhic> jagginess, mind if I PM you?
[06:19] <jagginess> Mikness, he was just trying to confuse you. You never heard of dd, you shouldn't use it.
[06:19] <jagginess> Pyrrhic, #wine
[06:20] <Walther> Mikness: I know this might be frustrating. But some people on this channel do things their way, and it is perfectly fine, but for a beginner, other ways can be easier/better/safer
[06:20] <Mikness> need to duplicate my current drive
[06:21] <jagginess> Mikness, that is never easy..
[06:21] <Walther> Do you need it duplicated onto another drive, or just a backup archive file like .rar or .zip?
[06:21] <jagginess> Mikness, best bet is not to touch the source, and check out clonezilla.org
[06:22] <jagginess> (as meaning, not altering the source while cloning, but just reading the source is fine)
[06:22] <chinmaya_n> Can some one tel me how for the previous question i asked! (My irc just got quit accidentally)
[06:22] <Mikness> lidar_, it'd probably not take 2 hours if someone just explained things upfront instead of sending me to a man page that doesn't have much info
[06:22] <wan26> lol
[06:23] <lidar_> Mikness, you did fine .. your problem was the file system limitations
[06:23] <Blue1> Mikness: just popped in - for a physical copy -- use dd for a logical copy rsync
[06:23] <jagginess> Mikness, cloning a drive is never easy.. so it can't be explained quickly
[06:24] <Mikness> so, I'm dual-booting Win7/12.04 on a (possibly) shot 64GB SSD. Want to duplicate it on a 750GB HDD.
[06:24] <jagginess> Mikness, this stuff is often more trial and error than you think.. so it's very risky if you're not careful
[06:24] <Mikness> alright
[06:24] <Blue1> milkshake_: what jagginess said
[06:24] <lidar_> Mikness tried copying creating a 20gig file on a fat32 drive
[06:24] <jagginess> Mikness, adding MSWin in the mix makes it even more difficult.. MsWin uses "protection" schemes to defend illegal copies of itself..
[06:24] <sam_> oh man i changed my admin user to standard user by mistake now i can use sudo command :( somebody help me
[06:25] <Mikness> right
[06:25] <Mikness> thanks
[06:25] <sam_> *cant use sudo anymore
[06:25] <Walther> Another question, Mikness could you make a folder called backup on the big hdd, open the ssd and just plain copy the files?
[06:25] <Blue1> sam_: just a sec
[06:25] <Pyrrhic> jagginess, seriously can you help me please?
[06:25] <Walther> If the SSD still *works* even to the extent you can read its contents, you could try
[06:25] <Walther> Sometimes the simplest solution can be eficient
[06:26] <Blue1> sam_: http://pkill-9.com/how-to-easily-do-sudo-in-debian/
[06:26] <Mikness> I've got all my files backed up, so I'm good there. I'd just like to run off of something while the SSD heads back to the manufacutrer
[06:26] <T_H_X> Mikness: something like....   dd if=/dev/sdb | gzip | split -b 1900m - disk-dump.dd.gz_
[06:27] <lidar_> sam_, you might have to use single user mode to password root .. then fix it
[06:27] <King_Cobra> sam?
[06:27] <sam_> how  to log in to single user
[06:27] <Mikness> T_H_X, send that to my backup drive?
[06:27] <Blue1> lidar_: if so is just broke, my recipe should work -- if not then yup single user init 1 iirc is single user
[06:28] <jagginess> Mikness, better to just install things from scratch.. mswin uses something for the "trim" function of ssd drives.. and so does linux-- the SSD drive would be more organized than if you did a flat byte-to-byte copy from a non-ssd drive
[06:28] <T_H_X> Mikness: yes .. dd if=/dev/sdb | gzip | split -b 1900m - /media/mounted-fat/disk-dump.dd.gz_
[06:29] <Mikness> jagginess, k, I see what you're saying
[06:29] <lidar_> that drive wont usable so to speak it will just be a backup
[06:29] <jagginess> Mikness, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM
[06:29] <T_H_X> Mikness: it'll make a unch of 1900mb files like, disk-dump.dd.gz_aaa , disk-dump.dd.gz_aab .. and so on
[06:29] <lidar_> Mikness, maybe purchasing an external harddrive would be benificial
[06:30] <Blue1> :-)
[06:30] <Mikness> lidar_, yep, got one
[06:30] <IlikeMoose> Mikness: is your SSD hosed?
[06:31] <Mikness> IlikeMoose, I'm not sure. Every test I run doesn't show anything broke. So I figured if I could recreate my filesystems on a spare HD and nothing f'd up, then it's probably gone
[06:31] <jagginess> Mikness, ssd is meant for speed, so you may not get the optimal result, and you'd be safer if you started from scratch with the drive
[06:31] <sam_> I cant log in to single user mode
[06:31] <sam_> hey lindar
[06:31] <ebolla> ubuntu 12.04.  Screen froze on a youtube video.  I pressed CTRL-ALT-F1 and now it is stuck with shell logon.  IE no GUI.  How can I bring back the GUI?
[06:31] <Mikness> lidar_, thanks for the idea, but I'm just looking to use one of my spare HD's for a short while
[06:32] <lidar_> ebolla, alt control f7
[06:32] <ebolla> lidar: Thank you
[06:32] <jagginess> Mikness, funny, i thought you were trying to clone a mechanical HD to SSD, now it sounds vice-versa
[06:32] <lidar_> sam_, is lindar the same as lidar ?
[06:32] <Mikness> jagginess, k, I'd like to try T_H_X 's idea, but I'm not sure
[06:32] <sam_> yep sorry
[06:32] <Mikness> jagginess, doesn't sound like I'll break anything,
[06:33] <Mikness> jagginess, yep, that's the idea. SSD to HD.
[06:33] <lidar_> Mikness, T_H_X has given you good advice .. but that data wont be accessable
[06:33] <ebolla> lidar_:  That didn't bring up the GUI.  Just the startup info
[06:33] <lidar_> ebolla, try f8
[06:33] <Mikness> lidar_, why not? because it's gzip'd?
[06:33] <jagginess> lidar_, actually it would be.. there's a way to mount an image's partition table with losetup
[06:33] <jagginess> (oh ya it's split)
[06:33] <lidar_> jagginess, with it all split into 2 gig files
[06:34] <lidar_> *not
[06:34] <ebolla> lidar_:  kk will try it soon as the system is back up.  For some reason it failed to load the driver for the raid controller /sigh
[06:34] <jagginess> he can always dump it into 1 massive file uncompressed if he wants to
[06:34] <jagginess> lol
[06:34] <Mikness> jagginess, so you're suggesting I should just install from disk?
[06:34] <T_H_X> not on FAT
[06:34] <jagginess> cat /dev/<SSD>  >  ~/mybackupssd.img
[06:35] <lidar_> he must have an extensive porn collection to be working this hard to back it up
[06:35] <Mikness> jagginess, I've got the room for it, but as T_H_X said, my FAT system won't allow it
[06:35] <Mikness> hahahah!
[06:35] <jagginess> fat32 no, it has 4gig limitations for files
[06:35] <lidar_> id be like screw it i can download it again
[06:35] <T_H_X> yea 4giggety
[06:35] <Walther> Mikness: I would somewhat agree with the others - if you have your data backed up, you should do a clean install later
[06:35]  * jagginess uses RAID1 at minimum for any of his desktops
[06:36] <ebolla> lidar_:  Not sure what happened but that second reboot brought back the gui as well
[06:36] <lidar_> ebolla, if your x server doesnt run then that wont get help you .. you will need to login at the shell and then startx
[06:36] <Mikness> I just don't want to try to re-set all of my settings for my OSs. It's been a b**** getting them the way I like 'em
[06:36] <Walther> Mikness: to bit-perfect copy a system is never easy, and especially if you split the files, think about how hard it will be to recover those files :P
[06:36] <jagginess> Mikness, did you try making a new user?
[06:36] <ebolla> jagginess: I prefer R0 for desktops since they don't hold anything on them.
[06:36] <Mikness> Walther, I think I'm leaning that way
[06:36] <ebolla> lidar_:  do I just type startx to restart the gui?
[06:37] <Mikness> jagginess, what would that do?
[06:37] <T_H_X> easy if you know how
[06:37] <jagginess> Mikness, maybe it's your gnome settings/unity (there's alot of breakage if you try to tinker with lightdm or unity or advanced desktop settings)
[06:37] <lidar_> ebolla, if you login the shell .. you can startx to start the desktop .. or startx -- :2 to start a second one
[06:37] <Mikness> jagginess, I'm getting freezing when using this one drive.
[06:37] <ebolla> lidar_:  So just type startx correct?  or sudo startx?
[06:38] <jagginess> Mikness, with only the same user?
[06:38] <lidar_> just startx
[06:38] <Pyrrhic> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=19141
[06:38] <Pyrrhic>    # if you have the web-based installer (about 2MiB), use this
[06:38] <Pyrrhic>     GC_DONT_GC=1 $WINEXE $scriptWD/LeagueofLegends.exe
[06:38] <Pyrrhic>     # if you are not using the web-based installer comment the previous line.
[06:38] <jagginess> Mikness, freezing is common if you tinker (trust me I use 12.04)
[06:38] <ebolla> lidar_:  alright thank you.  I appreciate it.  You happen to have any experience with Highpoint RocketRaid controllers?
[06:38] <Pyrrhic> What do I need to change for the GC_DONT_GC and $WINEXE stuff?
[06:38] <jagginess> Mikness, if you create a brand new user, see if you get freezes
[06:38] <lidar_> no sure dont
[06:38] <Mikness> jagginess, I figured if I was able to mimic the system on another drive and I still had errors, it was the system and not the drive, and I wouldn't have to send it in
[06:38] <ebolla> lidar_: kk ty
[06:39] <lidar_> Pyrrhic, a # is how you comment a line out ..
[06:39] <Mikness> jagginess, I'm getting freezing in Windows 7, too
[06:39] <pheonixman> hi guys, i am facing a problem with my USB drive. Using Gparted i formated my USB to FAT32, after formatting it Ubuntu 10.10 does not mount it. If i try to mount it manually it mounts but i am not able to create any new folder (in short i loose all permission), i dont know whats happening here, if anyone can help me out
[06:39] <Pyrrhic> lidar_: I know that. I know I need to change values.. but don't know what's relative.
[06:39] <lidar_> Pyrrhic, if a # is at the front of a line the interpator just skips that line
[06:39] <Walther> pheonixman: Do you have any files on it?
[06:39] <jagginess> Mikness, that doesnt sound good
[06:39] <Pyrrhic> lidar_:Yes I understand that.
[06:39] <pheonixman> Walther, nope
[06:40] <pheonixman> empty USB thumb drive
[06:40] <Walther> pheonixman: okay, then there's an easy way :)
[06:40] <Walther> pheonixman: open up Startup disk creator
[06:40] <pheonixman> ok
[06:40] <jagginess> Mikness, you should check in "dmesg<enter>" and see if there's any resets (or past logs in either linux/and ahem *cough winbloze)
[06:40] <Walther> pheonixman: in the bottom there should be your drive visible
[06:40] <Mikness> jagginess, yeah, changing users would only determine if it's an Ubuntu thing
[06:40] <pheonixman> ok
[06:40] <Walther> pheonixman: ...and there's the option to erase it
[06:40] <lidar_> change the GC_DONT_GC=1 to a 0 1 is true 0 is false and try that
[06:40] <pheonixman> ok
[06:41] <Walther> pheonixman: startup disk creator is pretty reliable when it comes to formatting, I'm not sure why
[06:41] <Walther> pheonixman: but that should work
[06:41] <pheonixman> Walther, i will try and let u know..wait for 5 mins
[06:41] <Mikness> jagginess, wowza. What am I looking for here?
[06:41] <jagginess> Mikness, when a device is poorly connected in linux it would say "reset" of a particular drive's connection.. (i got this once in the past, and plugged in more snuggly a loose cable)
[06:42] <Mikness> jagginess, cables are fine. When I freeze there's a ton of I/O errors
[06:42] <jagginess> Mikness, does it say 'reset' ? (dmesg)
[06:42] <pheonixman> Walther, Erase disk is giving me error "org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Inhibited: Daemon is inhibited"
[06:42] <lidar_> Mikness, dmesg | grep -i reset
[06:43] <Walther> pheonixman: ...huh
[06:43] <Walther> I have no idea what is going on
[06:43] <jagginess> Mikness, there's past logs, /var/logs/syslog*.log
[06:43] <T_H_X> Mikness: you might want to skip gzipping it, i think the split will break gunzip or zcat when trying to recover
[06:43] <pheonixman> Walther, me too..have wasted a day trying to figure it out
[06:43] <Walther> pheonixman: which version of Ubuntu are you runnning?
[06:43] <Pyrrhic> lidar_: Is there a screen sharing program that works well on ubuntu and whatever distro you're on?
[06:44] <lidar_> Pyrrhic, vnc
[06:44] <pheonixman> Walther, 10.10
[06:44] <Walther> pheonixman: you might want to consider upgrading - there might be some unfixed bugs around
[06:44] <Pyrrhic> lidar_: how would i set one up
[06:44] <T_H_X> Mikness: you wuould need to rejoin them all as 1 file before dd the file.. if its compressed
[06:44] <lidar_> Pyrrhic, i think there is some sort of desktop share thing built in .. i havent used it for long while
[06:45] <pheonixman> Walther, the USB was getting detected properly until i formatted it using GParted.
[06:45] <Walther> pheonixman: you could always try formatting it again with gparted
[06:45] <Pyrrhic> lidar_: I'm sorry if I'm annoying you. just wanting to figure this out.
[06:45] <pheonixman> Walther, USB is 8GB Sandisk Blade Cruzer
[06:45] <pheonixman> Walther, tried that too
[06:45] <Walther> pheonixman: create a new partition table on it
[06:46] <Walther> pheonixman: there's an option for it in gparted, upper left corner iirc
[06:46] <pheonixman> Walther, how to do that?
[06:46] <lidar_> Pyrrhic, its all good i havent been on irc for like 4 years i have alot of cathing up to do !
[06:46] <Walther> it should be a nice big button
[06:46] <Walther> it lets you start from the beginning
[06:46] <Walther> as in, beginning of the drive format :P
[06:46] <Walther> creates all the important files again
[06:46] <Walther> well "files", not technically, but, yeah
[06:47] <jagginess> lidar_, I've actually been speaking to your wife for 4 years, and have gone way beyond irc :)
[06:47] <T_H_X> Mikness: dd if=/dev/sdx | split -b 3900m - /media/mounted-fat/disk-dump.dd_
[06:47] <jagginess> jk
[06:47] <Mikness> jagginess, not sure on the 'reset': http://paste.ubuntu.com/1167583/
[06:47] <lidar_> no wonder she has been so happy last few years thanks :D
[06:48] <jagginess> what? lol
[06:48] <Mikness> jagginess, that was for 'dmesg'
[06:49] <jagginess> Mikness, maybe it's possible to use rsyslog, or something of a system log to send over the "network" :/
[06:49] <Pyrrhic> lidar_: Setting up a VNC server right now if you don't mind helping.
[06:49] <Mikness> T_H_X, did you cut off the end of your message? is the .gz missing?
[06:49] <jagginess> Mikness, (provided you know how to set it up and have a second machine receiving the log)
[06:49] <jagginess> Mikness, or it's possible it was able to capture it on past logs in /var/logs/syslog*?
[06:49] <lidar_> Mikness, tail -f /var/log/syslog in a xterm it will scroll the messages as they happen
[06:49] <Mikness> jagginess, bash: cd: /var/logs: No such file or directory
[06:50] <T_H_X> Mikness: for fname in /media/mounted-fat/disk-dump.dd_*; do cat $fname; done | dd of=/dev/sdx
[06:50] <pheonixman> Walther, "Gparted->Device->Create New Partition Table" right
[06:50] <jagginess> Mikness, there ought to be rotations of syslog somewhere in /var/log..
[06:50] <pheonixman> i created that
[06:50] <pheonixman> after that i formatted to FAT32
[06:50] <Mikness> thanks guys, I'm tryin' to keep up :)
[06:50] <Walther> pheonixman: nice.
[06:51] <Walther> pheonixman: then apply all actions and see what happens
[06:51] <pheonixman> and then i went to Startup created Disk
[06:51] <Walther> you don't need that
[06:51] <pheonixman> and said Earse disk
[06:51] <jagginess> Mikness, but what ssd drive is this (unfortunately hw makers are lazy and provide .exe only diag tools)
[06:51] <Mikness> jagginess, I've got syslog, syslog.1, then syslog.2.gz-7.gz
[06:51] <pheonixman> this time it didn't throw any error
[06:51] <Walther> pheonixman: nice, should work
[06:51] <Mikness> jagginess, don't have a second machine
[06:51] <jagginess> Mikness, maybe syslog.1, btw..
[06:52] <cristian_c> Hi
[06:52] <jagginess> Mikness, what model is it?
[06:52] <pheonixman> but, when i connected the usb drive by first removing it from the slot and then inserting it again, the its not getting mounted
[06:52]  * jagginess has seen firmware updates for harddrives
[06:52] <Mikness> lidar_, thanks!
[06:52]  * jagginess -- (ssd too)
[06:53] <pheonixman> Walther, manually its getting mounted
[06:53] <lidar_> firmware updates almost always do soemthing awesome
[06:53] <T_H_X> i thought my ssd was dying, but its just crap
[06:53] <pheonixman> Walther, but i am not able to create any folder on it
[06:53] <Mikness> jagginess, finally caught up! It's a Crucial M4SSD2.5
[06:53] <pheonixman> Walther, actually i need to create Startup disk on it
[06:53] <Walther> pheonixman: no
[06:53] <T_H_X> did an alignment check and all that jazz
[06:53] <Walther> pheonixman: or do you?
[06:54] <pheonixman> Walther, sorry i didn't get u
[06:54] <Walther> pheonixman: as in, do you actually need a startup disk?
[06:54] <cristian_c> I've installed easy-deb with virtualenv. If I try to look for applications installed in the virtual environment (with the yolk -l command), I don't find easy-deb in  the output list. But instead, I find some applications that I've not installed inside the virtual environment, but outside
[06:54] <Walther> pheonixman: if you don't, you don't have to do that
[06:54] <cristian_c> How is it possibile?
[06:54] <pheonixman> Walther, i need to create a start up disk
[06:54] <pheonixman> on my usb drive
[06:54] <Walther> pheonixman: ah, then try using the startup disk creator
[06:54] <pheonixman> yeah..i am trying it
[06:55] <cristian_c> Do ypu know something about?
[06:55] <pheonixman> but it gives me error
[06:55] <cristian_c> *you
[06:55] <Walther> what kind of error?
[06:55] <pheonixman> wait i will tell u the excat error
[06:55] <jagginess> Mikness, couple months ago a new firmware update was released for your drive ( http://www.crucial.com/help/ssd/index.aspx?source=web )
[06:56] <Mikness> jagginess, sigh. Thanks!
[06:56] <lidar_> look at jagginess go he might of just fixed it
[06:56] <Mikness> I'm about 70% sure he did...
[06:56] <Mikness> what version?
[06:56] <Fudge> hi, ssh'd to a friends laptop with 12.04 on it, have to alsactl init to load the intel hda driver, is there  a kernel module i can put in/etc/modules to laod on boot?
[06:56] <jagginess> Mikness, 000f
[06:56] <Mikness> <pounds head against keyboard>
[06:56] <jagginess> Mikness, "Improved throughput stability under extremely heavy workloads.", "Improved data protection in the event of unexpected, asynchronous power loss."
[06:56] <lidar_> Fudge, put that command in rc.local
[06:56] <pheonixman> Walther, "An uncaught exception was raised:
[06:56] <pheonixman> [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/media/dhiraj/boot'"
[06:57] <Mikness> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ9wNT21c_s
[06:57] <larrylamsy> I wonder will Ubuntu stop to use Unity as its desktop manager one day.
[06:57] <T_H_X> lol
[06:57] <Fudge> lidar_  yep i know that is one option thanks
[06:57] <jagginess> Mikness, if your drive model matches compatibility for the upgrade, then the upgrade is likely to fix it.. the release notes say there are issues sounding what you're describing
[06:58] <lidar_> larrylamsy, i think not touchscreens are gonna be everywhere .. unity is the thing to have
[06:58] <Mikness> Wow, thanks everybody!
[06:58] <Walther> !offtopic
[06:59] <Mikness> jagginess, I think I'll check out that update, and try T_H_X's idea if that doesn't work
[06:59] <lidar_> Fuchs, modules.conf perhaps ?
[06:59] <Mikness> I've been looking at doing this thing backwards the whole time
[06:59] <Pyrrhic> lidar_: pm me?
[06:59] <larrylamsy> lidar, I have checked distrowatch quite often, I found that Unity is comparatively ugly.
[06:59] <Walther> 'nyway, time for some healthy breakfast porridge
[07:00] <Walther> larrylamsy: lidar_: this is a support channel
[07:00] <Walther> please head to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:00] <pheonixman> Walther, are u looking into the error?
[07:00] <Walther> there are plenty of other people as well
[07:00] <Mikness> jagginess, how can I tell my current firmware?
[07:00] <larrylamsy> I do support Ubuntu. Believe me. I just.....
[07:00] <Walther> pheonixman: uncaught exception is a basic crash
[07:01] <Walther> I have no idea what happens, someone else should continue
[07:01] <Walther> I have to go now, basic needs, breakfast :)
[07:01] <jagginess> Mikness, that's cool the upgrade is an .iso you burn to a cd, and guess what it uses ISOLINUX
[07:02] <jagginess> Mikness, glad to start seeing less M$ on these sort of things hehe
[07:02] <pheonixman> Walther, thanks for ur time :)
[07:02] <jasonz> unable to enter details on an application form in libre office  says its read only
[07:02] <Fudge> lidar_  yep /etc/modules but im not sure if its a module i have to load, acl270 is the sound card
[07:02] <pheonixman> any other ubuntu guru there to help?
[07:03] <jagginess> pheonixman, mandela
[07:03] <pheonixman> jagginess, what does mandela mean?
[07:03] <jagginess> pheonixman, true, he is a guru (ubuntu guru), see the picture-> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_philosophy :)
[07:04] <holycow> hi.  does anyone know how to get pulseaudio to normalize all sound output globally/
[07:04] <holycow> ?
[07:04] <pheonixman> jagginess, so does he come in irc..?
[07:04] <jagginess> pheonixman, he's a real ubuntu guru :)
[07:04] <pheonixman> ;)
[07:04] <holycow> web based content is getting notoriusly noisy, its hard to browse and not get your hearing blown out.
[07:04] <jagginess> oh you meant ubuntu the linux distro duh! hahah
[07:04] <pheonixman> jagginess, wanna try my problem?
[07:05] <jagginess> !ask
[07:05] <reasearcher123> how can I make video chat/conference for FREE using some facility in Ubuntu?
[07:05] <pheonixman>  i am facing a problem with my USB drive. Using Gparted i formated my USB to FAT32, after formatting it Ubuntu 10.10 does not mount it. If i try to mount it manually it mounts but i am not able to create any new folder (in short i loose all permission), i dont know whats happening here, if anyone can help me out
[07:06] <holycow> reasearcher123: you cannot.  use google conferencing for free instead
[07:06] <Walther> Also, pheonixman's goal is to create a startupdisk
[07:06] <pheonixman> Walther, thanks
[07:06] <jagginess> reasearcher123, dunno what you mean just in ubuntu, but anything on linux-- asterisk is there available (not sure about the video aspect though).. However, if you want something amazing, and cool to check out i'd check out flashchat123 (though its commercial, i believe its freely available for sometime)
[07:07] <Walther> reasearcher123: ...skype?
[07:07] <jagginess> pheonixman, fdisk -l <enter>
[07:07] <arbitraryuser> I upgraded my ubuntu that was running Ancient Armadillo to Precise and it's not happy. SickBeard and SAB are running super slow (~2 minutes to render a page etc), but the CPU, IO and RAM seem fine. Does anyone have any ideas on where to start looking for clues?
[07:07] <jagginess> pheonixman, do you see your usb drive with that command ^? (use sudo as nec)
[07:07] <reasearcher123> jagginess: I want to make a video conference with a friend abroad
[07:07] <pheonixman> jagginess, yup
[07:08] <pheonixman> i will post it
[07:08] <pheonixman> wait
[07:08] <jagginess> reasearcher123, flashchat123 seems the easiest to setup, it's simply extract and run.. (but not sure if its actually a 30 day limit)
[07:08] <Walther> arbitraryuser: did you upgrade or do a clean install?
[07:08] <arbitraryuser> Walther: upgrade.
[07:08] <Walther> oh god I think that's a new record :D
[07:08] <reasearcher123> jagginess: ok.lemme try
[07:08] <jagginess> reasearcher123, there's also something called red5, or anything using it is flash video chat capable..
[07:08] <arbitraryuser> Walther: Because I have so many things already installed/configured.
[07:08] <pheonixman> jagginess, http://pastebin.com/AZ7KG0ii
[07:09] <Walther> arbitraryuser: yeah, sure
[07:09] <arbitraryuser> s/Ancient Armadillo/Ubuntu Circa 4 years ago.
[07:09] <jagginess> pheonixman, maybe it wants a "disk identifier", it says 0000.. I think you zeroed out your drive before..
[07:10] <cristian_c> An other question
[07:10] <Walther> arbitraryuser: So what  are those programs you're using? rendering...?
[07:10] <jagginess> pheonixman, you'll probably have to make one.. but i never was in this position
[07:10] <arbitraryuser> Walther: They're both python web apps.
[07:10] <Walther> arbitraryuser: are you facing slowness issues with anything else?
[07:10] <pheonixman> jagginess, what does that mean, would u mind explaining me?
[07:10] <Walther> arbitraryuser: it might be an issue with just those apps as well
[07:10] <arbitraryuser> used for downloading, err, ubuntu distros and stuff ;)
[07:11] <Matan> hi, I have problem with Rhythmbox and Unity integration in u12.04, I can't use buttons from volume menu and I can't see covers, someone know how fix that bug?
[07:11] <jagginess> pheonixman, are you able to mount it manually in console?
[07:11] <jagginess> pheonixman, "Disk identifier: 0x00000000" << not sure if this a reason why..
[07:11] <pheonixman> jagginess, yeah, once i have mounted it, it doesn't not allow me to do anything on it
[07:11] <pheonixman> i mean cant even create a new folder
[07:11] <jagginess> pheonixman, oh
[07:11] <pheonixman> using nautilus
[07:11] <reasearcher123> jagginess: how to install flashchat on linux
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: what file system is the partition using?
[07:12] <jagginess> pheonixman, make sure the "read-only" toggle isn't set on the card.. (they can be very small little switches on the physical card)
[07:13] <pheonixman> ActionParsnip, FAT32
[07:13] <pheonixman> jagginess, i dont see any switches on the thumb drive
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: have you checked the partition health?
[07:13] <pheonixman> ActionParsnip, how to do that?
[07:13] <cristian_c> I'm using lostirc and I would like to change the irc quit message. I've found a file, inside the lostirc hidden folder of my Home, called events.conf, which contains some lines and particularly these: quit = 15-- 00%116 has quit 15(09%215)   quit2 = 15-- 00%116 has quit. But I don't think it is the right file. What can I do to solve this problem?
[07:14] <jagginess> reasearcher123, you only setup the flashchat123 server.. there should be a readme inthere.. i won't elaborate because it's a commercial product :/ (but the clients connect to an http:// page, nothing to setup for all the clients--- they'll use video cameras via flash)
[07:14] <pheonixman> jagginess, also i would like to tell u that, USB was working file till i formatted it using GParted.
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> Phoebus: you can use chkdsk in windows, or fsck.vfat in linux
[07:14] <holycow> anyone know how to get pulse audio to normalize all audio output?
[07:14] <reasearcher123> ok.thansk
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: ^
[07:14] <jagginess> reasearcher123, http://<ip>:35555 something like this , i forget the port# exactly (you can use netstat -plutn to find out)
[07:15] <pheonixman> ActionParsnip, will run it and let u know
[07:16] <jagginess> pheonixman, sounds crappy
[07:16] <abdelghani> i was about to install iso via terminal and it was saying:Unable to locate package fronty-rg
[07:16] <jagginess> pheonixman, have you done a reboot?
[07:16] <pheonixman> dhiraj@guru:~$ sudo fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1
[07:16] <pheonixman> dosfsck 3.0.9, 31 Jan 2010, FAT32, LFN
[07:16] <pheonixman> /dev/sdb1: 0 files, 1/1964495 clusters
[07:16] <pheonixman> jagginess, yup
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> abdelghani: does the file pass MD5 test?
[07:16] <jagginess> pheonixman, maybe something in dbus' history is thinking that device is already mounted somewhere
[07:17] <jagginess> pheonixman, try mount without ever logging onto the desktop
[07:17] <pheonixman> jagginess, but i am able to mount using bash
[07:17] <pheonixman> ActionParsnip, ^
[07:17] <abdelghani> ActionParsnip: no test was carried out
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: if you manually mount, is it writable?
[07:18] <pheonixman> jagginess, http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?58035-Installing-a-distro-on-a-USB-flash-drive
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> abdelghani: I think you should
[07:18] <pheonixman> jagginess, can u get anything from this
[07:18] <pheonixman> ActionParsnip, through nautilus NO, but through bash YES
[07:19] <jagginess> pheonixman, ok so once you login to the desktop, you can't use bash to mount anymore, but you can use bash to mount it before doing any desktop logon
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: if you add an entry in /etc/fstab using the UUID, it will mount as you set in the file
[07:19] <jagginess> pheonixman, sounds like something is $%^ in the gnome desktop
[07:19] <abdelghani> ActionParsnip: how I can do that?
[07:19] <jagginess> ActionParsnip, not practical, it's a usb..
[07:20] <pheonixman> jagginess, have not tried to mount before doing desktop logon
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> abdelghani: the place you downloaded the file from wil have the hash of the correct file, you can then use the md5sum command to generate the hash of the file you have, and compare
[07:20] <jagginess> "<pheonixman> jagginess, but i am able to mount using bash"
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> jagginess: why not, if its only this one having the issue...
[07:21] <pheonixman> jagginess, yeah but after logging into GDM
[07:21] <sabyasachi> is it possible to install ubuntu on imac?
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> jagginess: and the UUID is unique to the device
[07:21] <pheonixman> and then using Bash
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> sabyasachi: yes
[07:21] <jagginess> pheonixman, it would mount in either case..
[07:21] <pheonixman> jagginess, ok
[07:21] <paulus68> At startup I get the following error message "The disk drive for /media/applications is not ready yet or not present Continue to wait press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery how do I solve this?
[07:21] <jagginess> pheonixman, something to do with gvfs potentially
[07:22] <Joe1> is there anyway to vchange my kerel to 64 bit
[07:22] <Joe1> ubuntu is being really slow for me
[07:22] <jagginess> pheonixman, try making a "disk identifier" for that disk
[07:22] <jagginess> pheonixman, as i said twice, maybe three times by now :/
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: you need the option:  noboot    (i believe) to tell it to not mount at boot and hold up the system
[07:22] <jagginess> (sorry, but try that)
[07:22] <pheonixman> ActionParsnip, jagginess: one more thing i observed, usually in every drive there is some unallocated space, but in my case (USB) after formatting it, it dosen't show any unallocated space
[07:22] <Joe1> is there a way to find out what is slowing ubuntu down?
[07:22] <sabyasachi> ActionParsnip: is the installation procedure different from normal pc?
[07:22] <Matan> hi, I have problem with Rhythmbox and Unity integration in u12.04, I can't use buttons from volume menu and I can't see covers, someone know how fix that bug?
[07:22] <Joe1> it was being ok now its being really slow
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: any particular reason you are using Fat32, isit for a camera etc?
[07:23] <pheonixman> jagginess, ok i will try..but i need to figure out how to do it
[07:23] <IncendiaryPyro> Gah, anyone able to help me with setting up mpd? Whenever typing 'mpd' into Terminal, I keep getting "Failed to bind to '[::]:6600': Address already in use"
[07:23] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ca/2198140 fstab
[07:23] <pheonixman> ActionParsnip, yeah need to create Startup Disk
[07:23] <Joe1> can  anyone help me
[07:23] <pheonixman> jagginess, in the mean time did u get anything from the link..that i posted?
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: do you mean for Ubuntu to install with, format it ext2
[07:23] <sabyasachi> ActionParsnip: or is there any other problem
[07:24] <pheonixman> ActionParsnip, live disk for Ubuntu
[07:24] <pheonixman> can i create it on USB drive formated in ext2?
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: format it ext2 and it'll be ok
[07:25] <pheonixman> really?
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: sure, you can format it to ext4 if you want
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> pheonixman: why would you not be able to?
[07:25] <pheonixman> ActionParsnip, ok..will try and let u know
[07:25] <Joe1> can ubuntu get virus?
[07:26] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: it's the /media/application that causes the problem
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: add the option: noboot    to the line which is causeing the issue
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> !virus | Joe1
[07:27] <Joe1> ok
[07:27] <Joe1> well my system is being really slow
[07:27] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: at the end of that line? or at some place particular?
[07:27] <Joe1> im transfering my files to a different drive now would the drive being almost full cause it to slow down
[07:28] <Joe1> the files are transfering really slowly too
[07:28] <Joe1> the whole system is being sluggish
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: change:   errors=remount-ro  to: errors=remount-ro,noboot
[07:28] <Joe1> is there anyway to switch it to 64 bit?
[07:28] <Joe1> i only had a 32 bit cd
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: instead of trying to guess, try researching using the web
[07:28] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: ok
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Joe1: you will need the 64bit CD and a reinstall
[07:29] <Joe1> hmm i have no cds =/
[07:29] <lidar_> usb stick ?
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> Joe1: SD card?
[07:30] <Joe1> i have a 1 Gb flash drive?
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Joe1: the install ISO is 700Mb, so its enough
[07:32] <Joe1> ok where can i get the right  one?
[07:33] <sabyasachi> anyone using ubuntu on an imac?
[07:34] <Joe1> will the 64 bit one work better?
[07:34] <Joe1> 32 bit seems slow
[07:34] <mertcanekiz> when I try to enter chroot it doesn't change prefix and I'm still at root@ubuntu. Why is this?
[07:35] <Joe1> is it normal for it to be slow or is something configured wrong?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Joe1: not necessarily, worth a try. It wil use your full CPU at the very least
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Joe1: tried Unity2D session?
[07:35] <Joe1> no
[07:35] <Joe1> think it will wor k better?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Joe1: it doesn't use compiz, so probably yes
[07:36] <Joe1> seems like all the sudden the whole system slowed down
[07:36] <Joe1> would haveing 7 GB left on the disk cause it to slow down?
[07:36] <Joe1> im transfering the files to a different hd
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Joe1: hw big is the drive?
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> *how
[07:36] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: getting now the notification mountall Disconnected from Plymouth??
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: hmm, ok rollback the change
[07:37] <Joe1> 160GB  10,000RPm raptor
[07:37] <Joe1> Veloci raptor
[07:37] <Joe1> so it should be fast but idk
[07:37] <Pyrrhic> im gay
[07:37] <Joe1> cool
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> Joe1: you could remove old kernels to free space, also run bleachbit as user and root to free more space (have as many apps closed as possible)
[07:38] <mertcanekiz> when I try to enter chroot it doesn't change prefix and I'm still at root@ubuntu. Why is this?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> mertcanekiz: you can su to your user if you want
[07:39] <Joe1> yea even movies are playin slow
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> Joe1: did you try unity2d
[07:39] <Joe1> no im gonna
[07:39] <Joe1> right now
[07:41] <mertcanekiz> ActionParsnip: I've already did that. I type chroot /sid_root /bin/bash but I can't enter chroot.
[07:41] <bekks> mertcanekiz: Dont mix up commands of chroot and schroot.
[07:41] <Matan> hi, I have problem with Rhythmbox and Unity integration in u12.04, I can't use buttons from volume menu and I can't see covers, someone know how to fix that bug?
[07:42] <Joe1> trying that bleachbit first
[07:42] <bekks> mertcanekiz: A valid chroot comand would be: chroot /mnt/here/is/my/chroot /bint/bash
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> mertcanekiz: this is how I do it: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> Matan: do the buttons show in the sound menu, or are they missing?
[07:42] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: did that now I get the following skipping profile in /etc/apparmor/ and finally gets back with the same plymouth error
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: well all we did was add an option then remove it...
[07:43] <paulus68> ActionParsnip: had to enter to get out of this message to get to my logon screen
[07:43] <mertcanekiz> bekks: but my chroot is at /sid_root. I was following along this: http://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap . Should I do this another way?
[07:44] <Matan> ActionParsnip: they are in volume/music menu but they are doesn't work like not activated
[07:44] <bekks> mertcanekiz: I'd follow the link ActionParsnip posted.
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> mertcanekiz: are you using debian?
[07:44] <mertcanekiz> Okay I'll look at that
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> Matan: if you make a fresh ubuntu user and log in, is it ok?
[07:45] <mertcanekiz> I'm at an ubuntu live cd

[07:49] <pheonixman>  i am facing a problem with my USB drive. Using Gparted i formated my USB to FAT32, after formatting it Ubuntu 10.10 does not mount it. If i try to mount it manually it mounts but i am not able to create any new folder (in short i loose all permission), i dont know whats happening here, if anyone can help me out
[07:49] <synthetix> Pyrrhic, i don't need it
[07:50] <bekks> pheonixman: 10.10 isnt supported anymore.
[07:50] <Pyrrhic> Synthetic: I realize that. Are you just here to troll?
[07:50] <pheonixman> bekks...well that should be the problem
[07:50] <bekks> pheonixman: Besides that, 10.10 was able to use FAT32 usb drives.
[07:51] <pheonixman> bekks: so now it doesn't?
[07:51] <Mboone> Synthetix: I ran sudo get-apt and I get back invalid operation. Should I have the package in a certain folder or does that not mater?
[07:51] <bekks> pheonixman: Now, 10.10 isnt supported anymore. So no one will try to solve that problem on 10.10 anymore :)
[07:52] <Pyrrhic> It doesn't matter, Mboone. You need to specify the name of it after apt-get
[07:52] <Pyrrhic> It's apt-get, not get-apt
[07:53] <Pyrrhic> #winehq
[07:53] <Mboone> Pyrrhic: I did do apt-get sorry. I entered the package name exactly as it shows, both with and without .deb to no avail
[07:53] <Pyrrhic> what package?
[07:54] <Mboone>  Pyrrhic: easytether_0.7.3-1_i386.deb
[07:55] <Pyrrhic> Mboone: what version of ubuntu/
[07:55] <Mboone> Pyrrhic: 12.04 Lts
[07:56] <killer_> hi
[07:56] <killer_> hi
[07:56] <Pyrrhic> Mboone:  cd to the folder it's in ; then run
[07:56] <Pyrrhic> Mboone: sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[07:56] <killer_> how do i protect myself against netcut attack
[07:57] <synthetix> killer_, u can use netuncut tools
[07:58] <Mboone> Pyrrhic: was told cannot access archive: no such file or directory
[07:58] <killer_> any ubuntu related tool
[07:59] <Walther> Is it possible to set bluetooth off by default?
[07:59] <Walther> it is on every time i log in / reboot
[07:59] <Pyrrhic> you have to go into the folder it's in via terminal.
[08:00] <Mboone> How would I do that. It's in the download folder inside the home folder
[08:01] <Pyrrhic> open a new terminal
[08:01] <Pyrrhic> cd Downloads (Capital D is necessary)
[08:01] <Walther> Mboone: cd /home/your_user_name/Downloads
[08:01] <Walther> Or that
[08:01] <synthetix> guys
