[15:51] <beanpole> is this bug sorted out
[15:51] <jmrog> Unknown0BC: is googleearth-bin a shell script? It might tell you where it's looking.
[15:51] <beanpole> Multiple Desktops in Ubuntu 12.04 is a mess. The moment you switch to a window on another Desktop, GNOME2 based versions used to switch to that desktop without any problems. In 11.10 and 12.04 LTS(!!!!), windows used to jump between desktops or disappear at all, so you never can reach them again. Even maximized windows do, those which usually cannot be dragged around on the screen ... and it has been in 11.10 already. DID ANYBODY TEST IF THAT SHIT WOR
[15:51] <beanpole> KS AT ALL???
[15:51] <FloodBot1> beanpole: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:51] <Meris> beanpole, /join #ubuntu-offtopic instead. They love rants there, as long as you keep it civil
[15:52] <beanpole> i am not ranting tyhis is a bug
[15:52] <ultrixx> beanpole: then file a bug
[15:52] <StevenR> beanpole: then report it as such, objectively.
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> beanpole  it's not because you have troubles getting familiar, that the system is no good

[15:54] <kevin> hi all. so i was recently using the open source nvidia driver, and then i "dpkg -i" 'd an nvidia-current package. didn't work, so i removed it from recovery console. rebooted into open source nvidia driver, and now the resolution is alllll minimal. used to run at 1650x??? or whatever tahat resolution was... now xrandr is reporting the max is 1280x720. any ideas?
[15:55] <jmrog> Unknown0BC: Give me one second
[15:55] <akil> is there any way to get my data back?:(
[15:55] <glebihan> Unknown0BC, you need to either get the 64 bits version or install libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
[15:55] <noob7> hello, I try to use minicom in 12.04. I installed it and when I try to use it I get ...permission denied... So I searched a little and came up with three solutions
[15:55] <mneptok> akil: NTFS recovery tools are better on Windows than Linux.
[15:55] <noob7> 1. start minicom using sudo, 2. add me to the group dialout, 3. do chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0
[15:56] <bekks> noob7: take 2) :)
[15:56] <StevenR> noob7: 2
[15:56] <Igramul> akil: When You chose to use the whole disk, then the chances of getting a removed partition back are de facto zero.
[15:56] <_josh> I used to use "gnome-power-manager" as a binary to start a battery indicator (using awesome window manager), but it disappeared from 12.04, anybody know what it changed to?
[15:56] <noob7> ok thanks
[15:56] <ki4ro_> .
[15:57] <noob7> @mneptok I used once Recuva is for free and was not bad
[15:57] <akil> mneptok:  i lose both other os now onely  11.10
[15:57] <Meris> akil, you *can* use ntfs-tools to mark the volume checkfs-needed. After that it will automatically be checked when you start Windows the next time
[15:57] <ki4ro_> Anyone know how to connect a canon mp280 scanner?  The printer function works great but my machine cannot see the scanner side
[15:57] <Igramul> akil: When did You discover the mistake? When there was no write access to that partition, You can try recover utilities.
[15:57] <mneptok> akil: the more you use this system the less likely data recovery becomes.
[15:57] <Meris> ki4ro_, look it up on the lunx hardware compatiblity list
[15:58] <Meris> ki4ro_, look it up on the linux hardware compatiblity list
[15:58] <mneptok> akil: shut it down and find out how to recover data off destroyed NTFS partitions.
[15:58] <ki4ro_> Meris: Worked perfectly before 12.04
[15:58] <akil> Meris: i dont have windows
[15:58] <mneptok> beanpole: do you have business here other than to rant?
[15:58] <jmrog> Unknown0BC: Will it work if you run google-earth from the commandline with LD_PRELOAD? As in: LD_PRELOAD=path/to/libGL ./googleearth-bin
[15:59] <adee> akil: you already overwritten most of your data + you have a different partition table now
[15:59] <akil> Igramul: arter installetion  i did not seen the dirve then only i new it is missing
[15:59] <ki4ro_> Meris: scangearmp or skanlite or xsane cannot see the scanner
[15:59] <Meris> akil, try to bring the disk to someone who has Windows and proper recovery tools
[15:59] <Unknown0BC> jmrog, I think I have a messup here with the installs of 32bit and 64 bit I tried.
[16:00] <Igramul> akil: "after installation" sound bad. Use Meris' hint, but your chances are very low.
[16:00] <jmrog> Unknown0BC: Okay
[16:00] <akil> ok thank you every one i may do as meris told
[16:01] <jmrog> kevin: Perhaps try apt-get install --reinstall <open-source-nvidia-driver> (I don't know the package name)?
[16:01] <Meris> akil, good luck! I had a HDD crash just a month ago and I know how it feels. Backup, backup backup...Now if only someone knew a backup program for Linux that works as versatile and well as Cobian Backup...
[16:02] <Igramul> Meris: I use crashplan and I'm happy with it.
[16:02] <Igramul> Meris: But I do not know cobian backup.
[16:02] <Meris> Igramul, crashplan eh? Well, I'll be sure to look it up, thx for the suggestion
[16:03] <jmrog> Unknown0BC: Sorry, just saw the ELF output you posted earlier. Yeah, you're running a 32-bit executable but trying to use a 64-bit lib, that's probably the issue
[16:04] <dimos> Hello!
[16:04] <diamonds> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GtkComposeTable how to make u with umlaut
[16:04] <Unknown0BC> my system is multiarch
[16:04] <Boogeyman> besides using NotifyOSDconfig, how can one mess with the look of the OSD notifications
[16:04] <diamonds> oh it's altgr shift+" u
[16:05] <Boogeyman> ?
[16:05] <Meris> Igramul, because I need more then one backup set, the free version of CrashPlan does not cut it. I'm not adverse to buying software, but I don't subscribe to softs, if I buy a program, it has to be mine indefinetely.
[16:05] <dimos> i want to run a php script in apache2(lamp-server localhost @ my desktop) but www-data user can't execute it...it says that it's unable to open the file...any idea?
[16:06] <Meris> Igramul, thanks for the suggestion, though
[16:07] <Igramul> Meris: If You only need one backup set per machine and if You use Your machines as backup destinations, then the free version will still be fine.
[16:07] <ki4ro_> Anyone know how to connect a canon mp280 scanner?  The printer function works great but my machine cannot see the scanner side
[16:07] <Meris> dimos, probably something to do with permissions on software level, please consult #apache or #php instead
[16:07] <StevenR> ki4ro_: probably need scangear from Canon. Not free software though, afaik.
[16:08] <Meris> Igramul, as I said before, I need multiple backup sets, but thx anyway.
[16:08] <dimos> Meris: with a google seach i read about permissions but i can't fix it...hmm...
[16:08]  * dimos joins #apache
[16:08] <jmrog> Unknown0BC: That's fine, but the googleearth-bin file is a 32-bit executable and might not be finding the 32-bit library; the library found via locate is 64-bit
[16:09]  * Unknown0BC blinks
[16:09] <Meris> Unknown0BC, try installing ia32-libs to cover for that
[16:10] <jmrog> What Meris said
[16:11] <usr13>  dimos Maybe you need to change ownership or permissions of the file?
[16:11] <Unknown0BC> jmrog, Meris , weird I install the 64bit but when I look at the exec file its a 32bit.
[16:11]  * Unknown0BC frowns
[16:11] <ki4ro_> StevenR: Got scangearmp installed but it cannot see the scanner either
[16:11] <usr13> Unknown0BC: Mystery solved....
[16:12] <jmrog> ^
[16:12] <dimos> usr13: i tried with: sudo chown www-data script.php - but nothing happens...
[16:12] <StevenR> ki4ro_: no idea then
[16:12] <Meris> Unknown0BC, might be a bad link, if you are sure that the package is marked as 64-bit and it is exactly the same as the 32-bits version, better report it to the one who manages the package.
[16:13] <usr13> ki4ro_: sane-find-scanner
[16:13] <usr13> dimos: You would have needed to be in the directory where it is, or use full path.
[16:14] <usr13> dimos: But not really sure that is the issue for sure.  You might find more detailed info in the log file
[16:14] <ki4ro_> usr13: Found it
[16:15] <dimos> usr13: i check with ls -la...the file seams ownw to www-data...but this is a good idea! let's see the log file...
[16:15] <usr13> dimos: /var/log/httpd/error_log
[16:15] <usr13> ki4ro_: very good...
[16:16] <ki4ro_> usr13: Then why can't any of the scanner s/w find it?
[16:16] <dimos> usr13: /var/log/apache2/error.log : [error] [client <IP_ADDRESS>] PHP Warning:  fopen(data.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/php/script.php on line 18, referer: http://localhost/php/form.html
[16:17] <dimos> usr13: i'll try with: sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
[16:20] <Boogeyman> i need a place where i can rant about newbs. if anyone in here thinks they are newbish or ask stupid questions, you need to talk to my friend, he will make you feel like a linux guru
[16:20] <dimos> usr13: perfect! it's ok now! but something else: if i want to create a new php file in /var/www i must to execute again the command...any idea on how i can do this automaticaly?
[16:21] <ki4ro_> usr13: Then why can't any of the scanner s/w find it?
[16:21] <vicium\a> Hi. I'm currently running 3 tightvnc servers on my ubuntu box... How can I kill 2 of the processes? I just need 1 of em up.. :)
[16:22] <bekks> vicium\a: vncserver -kill :2 kills the instance on display :"
[16:22] <bekks> vicium\a: vncserver -kill :2 kills the instance on display :2
[16:23] <diamonds> I installed libhtml-strip-perl to strip html but I can't figure how to use it
[16:25] <animus123> need help please?
[16:25] <vicium\a> bekks: Hmm ok thanks!
[16:26] <diamonds> man has nothing
[16:26] <diamonds> I'll try #perl
[16:26] <animus123> i am unable to see video on ubuntu.when i play any video instead of video different colors of Strips are appearing..
[16:27] <vicium\a> Has anyone tried running a wmware windows inside of ubutu 11+ ?
[16:28] <animus123> please help..
[16:28] <vicium\a> Or perhaps a vmware ubuntu 11+ runs better on win? :P
[16:28] <bekks> vicium\a: Ermm - It doesnt matter what you are running inside a vm.
[16:29] <vicium\a> So they both work equally 'great' ?
[16:29] <vicium\a> Assuming i have the horsepower
[16:29] <bekks> vicium\a: I'd recommend virtualbox instead of vmware, unless using an ESX host.
[16:29] <hylian> hello all
[16:30] <vicium\a> bekks: It works like vmware more or less?
[16:30] <bekks> vicium\a: Yes.
[16:30] <vicium\a> Only x86?
[16:30] <bekks> vicium\a: 32bit and 64bit.
[16:30] <bekks> vicium\a: Or get it as Oracle VM Server on SPARC.
[16:30] <BadDesign> I want to run adb from ~/Software/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools but when I do so it says No such file or directory ... I cd into the directory and ls -l I see the file there ,.. I say ./adb devices and No such file and directory, WTF?
[16:31] <escott> vicium\a, you have a number of open source virtualization options including virtualbox as well as kvm and xen. vmware is probably less popular in this channel because of those other options
[16:32] <escott> BadDesign, is it marked executable? and what is the exact command you are trying to execute
[16:32] <hylian> BadDesign: To be honest, I have never messed with any of that, is there a chance you need root priveleges to run it, or is it on a non compatable partition type? i.e. needs to be in ext4, but is in ntfs, etc...?
[16:32] <BadDesign> escott: hylian: there permission are -rwxrwxr-x for the adb command
[16:32] <vicium\a> Hmm okay :) well I'm gonna run the VB in windows (but that didnt matter right? and then run ubuntu inside) shouldnt be an issue right? just get vb + the most recent stable ubuntu iso?
[16:32] <hylian> BadDesign: escott is much more adept at these things then I, I would follow his advice...
[16:33] <BadDesign> hylian: The files are in my home directory, its the Android SDK, I don;t need root priviledges to run it
[16:33] <escott> vicium\a, there may be minor performance differences but it shouldn't matter. running ubuntu inside a windows vm might be better for desktop usage because of graphics drivers and related issues
[16:34] <vicium\a> Yeah figured and when i actually play games i can play them in natural... enviroments, instead of vming.. Since my ubunt usuage isnt very performance heavy
[16:34] <BadDesign> Something really strange is going on here
[16:34] <vicium\a> Thanks for the pointers
[16:34] <vicium\a> Can i netinstall with VB? or iso required i assume?
[16:34] <escott> BadDesign, is adb an elf executable or is it a java program?
[16:34] <hylian> BadDesign: I am going to do a little research and see what i come up with, brb. :)
[16:35] <righthandofdoom> greetings
[16:35] <ki4ro_> usr13: Finally found a new version of scangear (version 1.8) that works fine...been a long 2 hours!!! LOL
[16:35] <BadDesign> escott: adb: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, stripped
[16:35] <Vicium> oops, back.. VM network stuff installed.. But I need an iso right?
[16:35] <animus123> somebody help me?
[16:35] <escott> vicium\a, im sure you could do a net install but if you have the image file the iso would be faster
[16:35] <Vicium> Allright, i'll just grab that then, big thanks!
[16:35] <righthandofdoom> how do i successfully remove the ubuntu global menu?
[16:35] <hylian> !ask | animus123
[16:36] <BadDesign> I run ./adb devices bash: ./adb: No such file or directory ... I'm clearly in the right directory.
[16:36] <Balask> hey my ubuntu computer keeps freezing and doesn't recover, how can I tell what's causing it?
[16:36] <righthandofdoom> again... how do i successfully remove the global menu in ubuntu gnome 12.04
[16:37] <animus123> hylian:i am unable to see any video in vlc.when i started to play any video,instead of video different colors of Strips were appearing..and i can't see any video..
[16:38]  * righthandofdoom sits crosslegged and patiently
[16:38] <hylian> BadDesign: there is a forum that says you do need root privileges, have you tried sudo ./adb?
[16:38] <escott> righthandofdoom, gnome doesn't have a global menu
[16:38] <spaceman> animus123: have you tried it with any other video player to make sure it is not a vlc specific issue?
[16:39] <spaceman> mplayer is normally a good place to start
[16:39] <hylian> animus123: what color are the lines, and what happens if you try to run the same videos through programs such as mplayer or totem?
[16:39] <animus123> spaceman:i tried it with default movie player.but no response.same thing was happening..
[16:40] <bekks> vicium\a: You should use the official vbox version from www.virtualbox.org - and yes, you need an ISO of the OS you want to install as a guest.
[16:40] <Balask> righthandofdoom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-I0jCIFyc4
[16:40] <BadDesign> hylian: Doesn't work.. I added an environment variable to the path where the command is and when I try to run adb from anywhere it says command not found and then Software/android-sdk-linux//platform-tools/adb: No such file or directory
[16:41] <spaceman> animus123: what kind of video is it, mp4, avi or what. If so do have the dependencies installed for that kind of video.
[16:41] <BadDesign> hylian: Why it adds another / ?
[16:41] <BadDesign> hylian: my path is absolute but I've not listed it all here
[16:41] <animus123> hylian:i hadn't try it,in mplayer.but i tried in default movie player.but samething was happening..
[16:41] <animus123> spaceman:it's mp4..
[16:41] <LoganGray> hi everyone.  Quicky question.  Is nano installed by default on ubuntu server?
[16:42] <righthandofdoom> ok i did that.ok, is there a way to install the old menu we had in ubuntu ~10
[16:42] <ThinkT510> LoganGray: i believe so
[16:42] <trism> BadDesign: are you on a 64 bit system?
[16:42] <Balask> righthandofdoom:  I have no idea
[16:42] <BadDesign> trism: yes
[16:43] <trism> BadDesign: you probably don't have the i386 libs (it gives that strange no such file or directory error otherwise)
[16:43] <hylian> BadDesign: that is strange.. could there be a nameless folder in the path?
[16:43] <righthandofdoom> would i have to revert to an earlier version of gnome?
[16:43] <BadDesign> trism: hmm, I remember installing them
[16:43] <animus123> hylian:well,every time they have different colors
[16:43] <LoganGray> Thanks ThinkT510  -- find it odd that a VPS provider didn't have it installed already - and when I did an apt-get to install it - man, it installed a ton of stuff - including dependencys I'm sure it didn't need.
[16:44] <Fyodorovna> righthandofdoom, gnome 2 is gone but there is a a fall back that is similar.
[16:44] <achyut> hii
[16:45] <achyut> i installed ubuntu in c:\
[16:45] <achyut> from inside windows7
[16:45] <Fyodorovna> achyut, installed from windows?
[16:45] <Fyodorovna> achyut, ah a wubi install
[16:45] <righthandofdoom> thank you fyodorovna... does unsettings work to make changes to global menu?
[16:45] <spaceman> animus123: installing gstreamer ffmpeg (not it's exact name) might work if it ain't installed already
[16:45] <achyut> but its not showing in boot menu
[16:45] <achyut> plz help
[16:46] <achyut> hmmm a wubi install
[16:46] <Fyodorovna> righthandofdoom, never heard of unsettings what do you mean?
[16:46] <animus123> spaceman:actually i have installed the essential codec?
[16:47] <Fyodorovna> achyut, is ubutu the only other OS, it should be in the windows boot menu.
[16:47] <Fyodorovna> ubuntu*
[16:47] <achyut> yup its the only other OS
[16:47] <hylian> animus123: this is probably a stupid question, but did you install the bad and ugly plugins? (i.e. gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly?)
[16:47] <achyut> but its not showing in boot menu
[16:47] <Fyodorovna> achyut, did it install from a reboot?
[16:47] <achyut> it asked for a reboot
[16:48] <achyut> but after rebooting
[16:48] <achyut> windows loaded
[16:48] <Guest56774> how to set boot screen to original
[16:48] <Fyodorovna> achyut, that is the install, look in the windows remove apps in the control panel to see if it shows there.
[16:48] <animus123> hylian:yes!! i installed all essential gstreamer plugin.
[16:48] <timnafziger> My upgrade to 12.04 has frozen mid-upgrade and I'm trying to figure out if I can recover it from another terminal window. Can anyone help?
[16:49] <achyut> ok Fyodorovna...checking
[16:49] <hylian> animus123: another dumb question on my part, but have you installed the latest graphics driver for your graphics card?
[16:49] <Fyodorovna> achyut, wubi is not on the cd it has to be downloaded with its installer I believe.
[16:50] <achyut> yes Fyodorovna
[16:50] <vicium\a> bekks: There's a ubuntu version suited for VB?
[16:50] <achyut> i downloaded ans installed
[16:50] <vicium\a> So 12.04 desktop iso maybe not ideal?
[16:50] <hylian> achyut: someone else told me with win7 you have to finish the wubi install by running the install method through the live cd,
[16:50] <timnafziger> I've posted more details on my 12.04 upgrade freeze here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/169350/ubuntu-distribution-upgrade-to-12-04-freezes-on-configuring-lswh
[16:50] <achyut> but my pc doesnot have a cd drive
[16:51] <timnafziger> Anyone have experience recovering from an upgrade freeze?
[16:51] <animus123> hylian:actually,that's a great controversy,i have sis graphic card.
[16:51] <animus123> animus123:and i think you must have heard about sis graphic cards????
[16:52] <achyut> wubi or ubuntu is not showing in the list of installed apps for windows
[16:52] <hylian> animus123: hmmm. well sis isn't spectacular, but unless it's a decade old, I would think it wouldn handle a video ok. What us the model number of your sis?
[16:53] <LoganGray> yikes! - Sis cards aren't worth it - upgrade to a cheap Nvidia  (<$25)
[16:53] <animus123> hylian:everybody knows,it's sis 671/771
[16:53] <gopostal> hey is there any good program for ubuntu like "S-Spline" or "BlowUp" for resize(blowup) image, cant fing any with google
[16:53] <animus123> hylian:very hopeless graphic card i ever seen!!
[16:53] <bekks> animus123: which is a horrible card, in terms of performance.
[16:53] <spaceman> animus123: does the mp4 have copy protection on it?
[16:54] <hylian> animus123: well you have given me enough to do a quick bit of research, let me see what i come up with, I will be back in a couple of minutes.
[16:55] <LoganGray> spaceman - mp4 is a container  - it "could" have copy protection - but not all mp4 have copy protection
[16:55] <animus123> bekks:sis 671,it's worlds most horrible card..
[16:55] <animus123> hylian:i am waiting for you...
[16:55] <animus123> spaceman:nope!!!!
[16:55] <LoganGray> *Nod to Animus*  well put sir!  (re: sis graphic card)
[16:55] <Fyodorovna> achyut, I suspect it is not onstalled
[16:56] <Fyodorovna> installed*
[16:56] <bekks> animus123: Right after a VIA Chrome, but following closely :)
[16:56] <achyut> i ve installed and reinstalled 6 times
[16:57] <hylian> animus123: what do you get when you run this command: gksu jockey-gtk?
[16:59] <animus123> hylian:nothing was happened.just ask for password.and over..
[17:00] <hylian> animus123: it looks like jockey will give us nothing here. I would follow the instructions at https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/sis, then if you need help or get nowehere, come back here. Also, these instructions are for Ubuntu 12.04, so if this is not your version of Ubuntu, then we will have to do seomthing else.
[17:01] <Nvveen> Does anyone know how to stack overlayfs mounts?
[17:01] <animus123> hylian:for you kind of information,i have downloaded the sis driver from this site?and i installed it by using the instruction given on this site..
[17:01] <hylian> Nvveen: sorry, never had to do it, never been asked that question :(
[17:01] <Grimhound> http://www.destructoid.com/fez-patch-won-t-be-fixed-because-it-costs-too-much-231618.phtml
[17:02] <animus123> hylian:sorry for the question mark,it was mistake.
[17:02] <tondar33> Hi, i am using ubuntu and virtualbox version 4.1.12_ubuntu with windows xp OS, the problem is that it cannot read my external hard drive but in my other laptop with same version of VB and OS, it does
[17:02] <tondar33> any idea please?
[17:02] <Grimhound> >Microsoft charges indie devs $40,000 to patch their games, as well as fees just to be on their platform.
[17:03] <usr13> animus123: What is your issue?
[17:03] <hylian> animus123: is your resolution set to 1280x800 resolution?
[17:04] <cpyi> me
[17:04] <animus123> hylian:yes!!
[17:04] <cpyi> hi
[17:04] <usr13> tondar33: You can not read external drive from ___________ ?
[17:04] <usr13> .... which OS ....?
[17:05] <cpyi> This is the first time I use irc channel, I just want to say hello.^^
[17:05] <animus123> usr13:unable to play video in vlc..instead of video the different colors of strips are appearing.
[17:05] <arvislacis> Hello cpyi
[17:05] <hylian> animus123: is the video you are trying to watch hd? sis 671 and 761 do not support hd video.
[17:05] <cpyi> thanks
[17:05] <tondar33> usr13: it cannot read my hard from the XP of virtualbox
[17:06] <usr13> animus123: You might try mplayer
[17:06] <nokia> hi. Anyone here used YUMI - Multiboot USB Creator? I cannot boot anything get message  "modprobe: module unknown not found in modules.dep"  when i boot from the USB stick.
[17:06] <animus123> hylian:yes !! that are all hd..
[17:06] <usr13> tondar33: And XP is the guest?  (And Ubuntu is host?)
[17:06] <tondar33> usr13: yes,
[17:06] <animus123> usr13:someone said,it's a driver problem?
[17:07] <Fyodorovna> nokia, I use this multibooter myself. http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[17:07] <usr13> animus123: quite possibly, and mplayer might reveal that.
[17:07] <animus123> hylian:so i would not see any hd videos on ubuntu??
[17:07] <hylian> animus123: well you have two problems then. number one is, on linux, vlc does not support hd. mplayer does. secondly your video card also does not supprt hd. You could try and load those video's with mplayer, but with that video card your playback will be sketchy at best, sorry. :(
[17:08] <usr13> animus123: mplayer is the swiss army knife for video
[17:08] <hylian> animus123: to be honest, I am not certain windows would fare much better. your best option is to try mplayer, or buy a new graphics card.
[17:09] <animus123> usr13:ok,then i will definitely try it!!
[17:09] <usr13> tondar33: Does it recognize other thumb drives?
[17:09] <Fyodorovna> nokia, the yumi is a windows loader, I found dealing with the contigious defragging was a tiresome.
[17:09] <tondar33> no
[17:09] <hylian> usr13: ahh, i see you know your stuff :) I am a big fan of mplayer as well.
[17:09] <tondar33> usr13: No, it has problem with UB flashes
[17:10] <arvislacis> I have one question about Ubuntu...
[17:11] <usr13> tondar33: Maybe a deficiency of XP.  Does it have all it's "service packs"?
[17:11] <hylian> !ask | arvislacis
[17:11] <Guest53376> kjkj
[17:11] <Fyodorovna> arvislacis, just one.
[17:11] <animus123> hylian:the second option doesn't applicable,because i have a laptop.so i can't change built in graphic card,can i?
[17:11] <nokia> Fyodorovna: i am just downloading Multisystem LiveUSB Tool script.
[17:12] <Guest53376> can anyone tell me how to get my dell inspiron 14r to connect to wifi in ubuntu 12.04
[17:12] <usr13> tondar33: UB flashes?
[17:12] <hylian> animus123: I didn't realize that... no you can't, sorry. :(
[17:12] <e66> hello room
[17:12] <usr13> tondar33: Sorry but I don't know what "UB flash" is.
[17:13] <killer> Guest53376:after pressing window key....type proprietary drivers
[17:13] <arvislacis> Why I could use extra-Ubuntu visual features when I installed Ubuntu with Wubi but can't use now when I have it fully installed on my laptop?
[17:13] <tondar33> usr13, usb... thumbdrive
[17:13] <hylian> arvislacis: so what is your question? :)
[17:13] <Fyodorovna> nokia, make sure you use gparted to format the usb if it balks, the disk utility does not seem to format to the multisystems satisfaction.
[17:13] <usr13> tondar33: Well, that is a good clue, just not sure where to go with it...
[17:13] <animus123> hylian:okkk ,thanks for your great help..
[17:14] <Guest53376> killer, it says none r in use on this sytem
[17:14] <killer> there must be some activate button:Guest53376
[17:14] <e66> I have installed Ubuntu Desktop. I have Kubuntu also and I always use Kubuntu. The problem is I have eclipse downloaed (not form repo) and I have added the application in KMenu. But Now I am using Ubuntu 12.04 where I dont see any menu. How can I add it to any menu?
[17:14] <tondar33> usr13, i think my VB configuration has not set to read from proper port or something like that... i think
[17:14] <spaceman> animus123: normally when a graphics card doesn't support hd, it plays it back extremely slowly and jerkly rather than fail to play, therefore from what you have said it doesn't seem like a graphics card issue at all.
[17:14] <hylian> arvislacis: this is probably a very dumb question on my part, but have you installed the graphics driver for your Ubuntu install? type this to find out: gksu jockey-gtk
[17:15] <exutux> tondar33: is your user in vboxusers group?
[17:15] <Guest53376> killer: i dont see one
[17:15] <arvislacis> hylian: Well, there was no Additional drivers but I will try it with terminal.
[17:15] <exutux> tondar33: on menu devices when guest is running you can enable usb devices?
[17:15] <e66> Is there anything like application menu in Ubuntu 12.04? I need to add 'eclipse' there
[17:16] <canaima> hola
[17:16] <escott> !alacarte | e66 but i would think if it shows in kde then the entry is there for gnome
[17:16] <hylian> arvislacis: and you have updated your apt-get since install? sudo apt-get update
[17:16] <escott> !info alacarte | e66
[17:17] <arvislacis> hylian: I got: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system.
[17:17] <tondar33> exutux, in etc/groups, i dont see any user infront of vboxusers
[17:17] <arvislacis> Yeap, I updated.
[17:17] <killer> Guest53376 :Guest53376 : type in terminal "sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
[17:17] <exutux> tondar33: so add your host user to vboxuser
[17:17] <exutux> s*
[17:17] <hylian> arvislacis: ok that's what i needed to know. what is your video card?
[17:17] <e66> escott:  I haven't installed it from Repo so its set manually.
[17:18] <arvislacis> hylian: Well, I'm not sure about my video card - how can I find it out?
[17:18] <tondar33> exutux, and in VB settings, USB is enabled but not 2.0 controller...
[17:18] <exutux> tondar33: and install extrapack from virtualbox site
[17:18] <PatrickC> how do i mount the windows partition in a live usb so i can run the disk utility to scan the disk?
[17:18] <tondar33> exutux, i had already installed virtualbox guest additions, is that what your're refering?
[17:19] <exutux> nope
[17:19] <exutux> tondar33: extrapacks is another pack
[17:19] <tondar33> exutux, oh ok will do and get back to u in a moment ;)
[17:19] <exutux> guest additions doesn't matter about USB
[17:20] <Guest53376> killer: E: Unable to locate package firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
[17:20] <exutux> tondar33: so in your host sudo adduser $USER vboxusers then restart lxdm
[17:20] <hylian> arvislacis: i like lshw. but it's run in the terminal, and can really dump way too much info, so i use this command: sudo lshw > info. this dumps all the info into a text file named info in your /home/(your username) directory
[17:20] <i7c> is there a way to do sudo cat asdf.xyz > /etc/need-root.asdf   ? because that way it does not work and i dont want to sudo su everytime
[17:21] <killer> Guest53376 : is ur ubuntu a fresh installation
[17:22] <tondar33> exutux, let me get clear.. i just added my host user infront of the virtualbox group, but i have to add a specific user for it as well?
[17:22] <exutux> tondar33: nope your actual user that run VirtualBox
[17:23] <hylian> arvislacis: if you used the command I gave you, you will notice that there is a lot of info in that file it created, you want to look for the word "display".
[17:23] <tondar33> exutux, you mean my host user, i manually added it to etc/group, isnt that correct?
[17:23] <exutux> tondar33: if you have other user that need to use vbox, so yes you have to add all them
[17:24] <exutux> tondar33: nope, I said you the command for to it correctly
[17:24] <tondar33> exutux, ok thanks :)
[17:24] <exutux> tondar33: so in your host type "sudo adduser $USER vboxusers" then restart lxdm
[17:25] <escott> i7c, sudo tee
[17:26] <bwlf> i7c: sudo sh -c "cat asdf.xyz > /etc/need-root.asdf"
[17:26] <exutux> i7c: cat bla.txt | sudo tee -a /ddestination/file
[17:26] <exutux> i7c: -a if you need to append text
[17:26] <Norrin> i have an apache2 guy telling me my problem is ubuntu related
[17:27] <Norrin> # service apache2 reload
[17:27] <Norrin> Syntax error on line 59 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/dia-ssl:
[17:27] <Norrin> blames it on ubuntu...
[17:27] <Norrin> line 59: CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dia-ssl-access.log "%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b" combined
[17:27] <Norrin> any idea why the ubuntu package of apache2 would have a problem with that line?
[17:27] <hylian> arvislacis: did I lose you?
[17:28] <morsnowski> I can't get a drive mounted. it shows in nautilus on the right but it doesn't get mounted. i'm on 12.04/64 and the drive is connected via usb
[17:28] <arvislacis> hylian, no, I just go outside. Now I'm back, just inputed command.
[17:28] <morsnowski> well the left actually
[17:28] <usr13> Norrin: pastebinit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/dia-ssl
[17:28] <arvislacis> hylian, looking for display.
[17:28] <usr13> Norrin: #Send resulting URL here.
[17:28] <escott> morsnowski, can you paste the output of "mount" to paste.ubuntu.com
[17:28] <bwlf> Norrin: i don't know the syntax w/o checking, but looks like one " isn't there or it shouldn't be
[17:29] <hylian> arvislacis: ok good. that command will create a file called info. it's in your home directory. look for the word display in that file.
[17:29] <usr13> Norrin: How did you install apache2 ?
[17:29] <Norrin> usr13, from ubuntu repo
[17:29] <usr13> Ok
[17:29] <arvislacis> hylian, I found - which part of display info you need to know?
[17:30] <hylian> arvislacis: it should look something like this: product: Wrestler [Radeon HD 6250] (this is my info from the display section)
[17:30] <arvislacis> hylian: product: Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller
[17:31] <hylian> arvislacis: could you post the entire info file to http://paste.ubuntu.com/? then i could get more info for this problem...
[17:32] <morsnowski> |paste
[17:32] <morsnowski> !paste
[17:32] <arvislacis> hylain: Ok, I will try. Thanks for helping.
[17:32] <escott> arvislacis, there are no proprietary drivers for intel systems
[17:33] <morsnowski> escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1115974/
[17:33] <arvislacis> hylian, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1115976/
[17:33] <morsnowski> and it is defacto a fat32
[17:34] <escott> morsnowski, ydont specify types when trying to mount.
[17:34] <escott> morsnowski, you would also usually specify a partition number
[17:34] <morsnowski> DOHHHHH
[17:34] <morsnowski> thanks
[17:35] <Norrin> usr13, bwlf here is the config http://pastie.org/4349143
[17:35] <arvislacis> hylian, I know that this is also a bit stupid question but is it possible to turn off my WiFi Led. I installed Ubuntu side-by-side with my Windows 7.
[17:35] <Norrin> bwlf, the " seem to match up
[17:36] <arvislacis> By the way, what kind of IRC clients are you using, all? I use XChat IRC.
[17:38] <hylian> arvislacis: the led on your computer? hmmm. is it a laptop?
[17:38] <arvislacis> hylian, yes it's laptop.
[17:39] <mneptok> !polls
[17:40] <hylian> arvislacis: then i personally don't know of a way, without disabling your wifi altogether. in a desktop it would be a simple matter. I know some people have taken black magic marker, or something like white out to cover the lens, but other than that, i have no solution...
[17:40] <Norrin> usr13, bwlf any idea what ubuntu thinks is wrong with line 59?
[17:40] <arvislacis> hylian, Ok, thanks. And what about previous - driver problem?
[17:40] <usr13> Norrin: Of: /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/dia-ssl ?
[17:41] <usr13> Norrin: Is that the file you sent to pastebin?
[17:41] <hylian> arvislacis: is this a dell or hp? what is the laptop make and model?
[17:41] <arvislacis> hylian, TOSHIBA
[17:42] <usr13> Norrin: Sorry, but have to go for now....
[17:42] <usr13> out of time...
[17:42] <arvislacis> hylian, Satellite L500
[17:42] <Norrin> usr13, yes that's the file
[17:42] <jeffrey_> how do i apply compiz changes?
[17:42] <BlueEagle> !compiz
[17:42] <jeffrey_> i made a change in the settings manager, but it doesnt show
[17:43] <hylian> arvislacis: ok, try the suggestion at the bottom of this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/136821/ubuntu-12-04-forced-into-low-graphics-mode-server-is-already-active-for-displa, and then come back here and tell me what happened...
[17:44] <Fyodorovna> jeffrey, I use the fusion icon to run restarts of compiz, are you in unity 3d?
[17:45] <jeffrey_> ubuntu for president
[17:45] <Elsx18> Prout
[17:45] <Barnabas> jeffrey_, try the glxinfo command
[17:45] <Barnabas> glxinfo | grep vendor / glxinfo | grep direct
[17:45] <arvislacis> hylian, Ok, thanks for information. I will better live with my default effects. :)
[17:45] <arvislacis> hylian, Thanks again and bye.
[17:45] <Elsx18> [//Info]
[17:46] <jeffrey_> Barnabas, that does nothing command not found
[17:46] <Barnabas> no you have to install the package first
[17:46] <Barnabas> mesa.utils
[17:46] <Barnabas> mesa-utils
[17:47] <hylian> arvislacis: does that mean you are done for now, taking a break? or are you going to try this and come back?
[17:48] <arvislacis> hylian, I'm taking a break.
[17:48] <arvislacis> hylian, I'm happy with Ubuntu anyway.
[17:49] <RAsputtin> !meaw
[17:49] <fnoyanisi> hi, is there a way to change the theme of unity?
[17:49] <hylian> arvislacis: well, have a nice day, and if you ever need help, call on us again. :)
[17:49] <jeffrey> fn-troll, go to the software center and get "my unity"
[17:50] <jeffrey> Fyodorovna, go to the software center and get "my unity"
[17:50] <Guest51281> fnoyanisi, which Ubuntu version are you using?
[17:50] <jeffrey> fnoyanisi, go to the software center and get "my unity"
[17:50] <arvislacis> hylian, Ok, thanks. Well, one fast question - On Ubuntu Store page Single CD means one CD or pack of 5?
[17:50] <fnoyanisi> Guest51281 : it is 12.04 LTS
[17:51] <hylian> is there a way to have a tty open like control alt f1, but also be able to run a x app, like firefox?
[17:51] <fnoyanisi> jeffrey : I will check that tou
[17:52] <Guest51281> fnoyanisi, right-click the desktop and select change desktop background, at the bottom you will see a drop down menu for Theme
[17:52] <sfsf32> why there is not a gay edition of ubuntu?
[17:53] <Guest51281> sfsf32, there is, its called Linux Mint
[17:53] <Guest51281> sorry could not resist
[17:53] <Guest51281> =)
[17:54] <hylian> let me rephrase my question, I would love to have tty1 open, be logged in, do all my cli stuff, but then when i felt like it run an x app without going back to tty7, is that doable>
[17:54] <jeffrey> can anyone recommend a good radio app?
[17:55] <fnoyanisi> Guest51281 : there usd to be different theme options in previous version
[17:55] <fnoyanisi> Guest51281 : when it was gnome
[17:55] <fnoyanisi> Guest51281 : there is only 1 few now...
[17:55] <hylian> never mind, found my answer myself.
[17:55] <tgm4883> How can I reformat a USB drive after dd'ing an image to it?
[17:55] <herpladee> hey guys i accidentally damaged the mini jack port on my computer
[17:55] <Guest51281> fnoyanisi, you will have to install extra themes but that is how you change themes in 12.04
[17:56] <herpladee> can i use the other two for sound since i don't use microphone anyway?
[17:56] <bekks> herpladee: Only if the mainboard supports another configuration by plugging in the cables in another way.
[17:56] <Guest51281> jeffrey, I use Clementine, all around good music player. Comes with a good selection of radio stations and you can add your own
[17:56] <bekks> tgm4883: By using mkfs
[17:57] <jeffrey> Guest51281, thanks ill check it out
[17:57] <herpladee> bekks, how do i know if it does?
[17:57] <tgm4883> bekks, ironically, I figured it out 10 seconds after asking that after been working on it for a few days
[17:57] <Guest51281> jeffrey, anytime - have fun!
[17:58] <tgm4883> bekks, mkfs wouldn't work, because I put the image on the drive with no partitions
[17:58] <tgm4883> bekks, fdisk didn't see it, couldn't format it with gparted or disk utility either
[17:58] <bekks> tgm4883: mkfs doesnt need a partition, but a block device only.
[17:59] <bekks> tgm4883: And when fdisk does not see it, it isnt even detected as a block device.
[17:59] <tgm4883> bekks, actually, I think there may be a bug i fdisk
[17:59] <bekks> tgm4883: Unplug it, wait 10s, plug it back in, wait 10s, and use sudo fdisk -l
[17:59] <bekks> fdisk without sudo does not see anything.
[17:59] <tgm4883> bekks, yea that didn't work either
[17:59] <tgm4883> bekks, I had literally been trying to fix this for a few days on a few different machines
[18:00] <tgm4883> bekks, but I finally got it to work
[18:00] <bekks> tgm4883: And how...?
[18:00] <osse> Hi, guys. I'm trying to mount a Samba filesystem. Using 'sudo smbmount' works. However, going to File -> Connect to server... in Nautilus or typing smb://blabla in the location field in Nautilus doesn't work, presumably because I don't have permission. How can I best fix this?
[18:01] <bekks> osse: By using smbmount.
[18:01] <tgm4883> bekks, luckily I had only pushed a 1GB img file to the drive, I went into disk utility and formatted the other half as ext4. As soon as I did that, I was able to format the entire drive however I wanted
[18:01] <RomeoAva> Please! What to chose: Ubuntu 12:04, 32 or 64 for my laptop with Intel i5-48M?
[18:01] <tgm4883> bekks, I'll attempt to reproduce and open a bug
[18:01] <tgm4883> RomeoAva, 64
[18:02] <bekks> RomeoAva: 12.04 64bit.
[18:02] <osse> bekks, I end up with a mount point I can only use as root
 I had have Ubuntu 11:10 for 32
 but I want to change with new one
[18:03] <bekks> osse: Then issue the appropiate options for smbmount to mount as a distinct user.
[18:03] <tgm4883> RomeoAva, You'll need to download and reinstall
[18:03] <ki4ro_> .
 Yes I read about. Thank you
[18:03] <Guest51281> bye all
[18:03] <i7c> thx exutux bwlf :)
[18:04] <ki4ro_> Why doesn't scangear upgrade automatically like other programs
 It's necesary to make partitions or I can live entire disk for Ubuntu?
[18:04] <serror> hi
 In Joly Cloud there is not necesary to do partitions
[18:04] <serror> fidel_: ha!
[18:05] <tgm4883> RomeoAva, if you want to use the whole drive for Ubuntu, you can just let Ubuntu do the partitioning
[18:05] <tgm4883> RomeoAva, I believe it just says "Use entire disk"
[18:09] <t-rex30> goodnight
[18:11] <gischy> hallo
[18:11] <gischy> :)
[18:11] <gischy> hallo
[18:11] <Barnabas> gischy, just ask your question
[18:12] <Bhalash> ^
[18:12] <greenit> hi, my wifi connection speed is very slow... normally i have a rate from 6+mb/s in my local network, but now it is only 400kb/s ... can any1 help me get my wireless network speedy again?^^ would also be good if any1 can tell me a command to get out my network card
[18:13] <Barnabas> greenit, have any neighbors started using the same channel as you?
[18:13] <greenit> Barnabas, nope
[18:13] <Bhalash> greenit: Could be any number of umpteen things. A good culprit is a competing wifi network.
[18:13] <greenit> i think it is because the kernel-update
[18:14] <greenit> i installed the driver for my card again, but it is by far not as fast as before
[18:14] <Bhalash> Then roll back the update.
[18:14] <bekks> greenit: Pastebinit the output of iwconfig wlan0 (or whatever your wlan interface is named) please.
[18:14] <Bhalash> Does anyone else share your wifi, knowningly or otherwise?
[18:15] <greenit> bekks, how can i pastebinit from iwconfig? it tells me i can't
[18:15] <bekks> "it"?
[18:15] <Barnabas> greenit, I really do not think the kernel update is the culprit - more likely the driver you chose
[18:15] <bekks> iwconfig interfacename has an output
[18:16] <tgm4883> what card?
[18:16] <bekks> !paste | Barnabas
[18:16] <juancholopez> hi
[18:16] <Bhalash> greenit: Get the output from iwconfig wlan0 and put it into pastebin
[18:16] <rodneymillerpca> Can someone tell me how to stop the little notification from poping up when you have a friend come on and off line. I use current ubuntu and pidgin.
[18:16] <Bhalash> Also grab lspci -vv to be on the safe side.
[18:16] <Barnabas> bekks, ?
[18:16] <greenit> well... i have pastebinit installed too... doesn't it work with that tool?^^
[18:16] <VanKush> folks, please, it seems like 2 of my 3 USB ports are powered down, what can I do?
[18:16] <bekks> Barnabas: That iwconfig command has an output.
[18:17] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: It's in plugins (ctrl+u). libnotify
[18:17] <tgm4883> greenit, yes
[18:17] <VanKush> it's Lenovo S205 minibook with 64bit Precise
[18:17] <Bhalash> Disable that.
[18:17] <bekks> Barnabas: Put that output into a pastebin as ubottu told you.
[18:17] <Barnabas> yes? but I dit not really multiline paste anything
[18:17] <Barnabas> bekks, what?
[18:17] <bekks> Barnabas: The instructions where mentioned in what ubottu told you.
[18:17] <rodneymillerpca> Bless you Bhalash
[18:17] <Barnabas> bekks, my wifi works just fine ..
[18:18] <bekks> Barnabas: Sorry :D
[18:18] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: bitte :)
[18:18] <Barnabas> not that I use it for now
[18:18] <greenit> so, here is my pastebin http://pastebin.com/v061ttu1
[18:18] <Bhalash> greenit: Could you output lspci -vv too?
[18:19] <bekks> greenit: Your wifi link is working fine with 802.11n at full speed.
[18:19] <bekks> greenit: So your download server is just too slow.
[18:19] <Barnabas> bekks, did you move your hotspot recently
[18:19] <bekks> Barnabas: Why?
[18:19] <Animeking> So, how is the graphical performance with the OSS Drivers on Ubuntu in comparison to say, Fedora? THinking of switching while reading up on the fact that steam is coming :|
[18:20] <Barnabas> bekks, be carefull with unbalanced psu's close the the wifi hotspot
[18:20] <bekks> Barnabas: I have no problems with my wifi either :)
[18:20] <bekks> Barnabas: And if that would be a problem, that would be visible at the rate the wifi link operates on.
[18:20] <greenit> Bhalash, http://pastebin.com/2cNsy67z
[18:21] <roothorick> okay so, I have a 12.04 LTS laptop with encrypted home directories, and a Debian server with a RAID array. I want to back up my home on the laptop to the server over network, preferably something set-and-forget. I don't care if the backup is encrypted if I can decrypt it without the laptop. Where do I even begin on this?
[18:21] <osse> bekks, for the record, after some googling it seems there is a bug in 12.04. Several people have the same problem as me
[18:21] <Bhalash> Animeking: Drivers are generally terrible (subjective experience!). Steam announced in a separate blog post that they are going to work directly with Intel to improve drivers.
[18:21] <greenit> bekks, well, my dl-server is in the lan and has a wired connection, i don't think its too slow, i normally can down/upload my files there very fast
[18:21] <MonkeyDust> roothorick  explore the rsync command, compress etc
[18:21] <Animeking> :/
[18:22] <roothorick> MonkeyDust: I know, but the encryption complicates things. Apparently you can't just rsync an encrypted volume when it's mounted
[18:22] <Bhalash> greenit: Have you tried to benchmark? FTP and wget? Separately connected via the web (DynDNS?)?
[18:22] <tshirtman> any help for hibernation ? my computer won't shutdown when i do s2disk
[18:23] <tgm4883> or just plug into the network and verify if that works, then we know it's not a server issue
[18:23] <tshirtman> i changed uswsup shutdown method from plateform to shutdown, no change
[18:23] <greenit> Bhalash, how shall i benchmark with wget? do you mean if i am connected to my local server via dyndns?
[18:23] <tgm4883> why are we talking about dyndns?
[18:24] <Barnabas> greenit, this is quite good too allthough it is flash http://www.speedtest.net/
[18:24] <bekks> dyndns does not have anything to do with INSIDE your LAN.
[18:24] <bekks> dyndns is for accessing your LAN from OUTSIDE.
[18:24] <greenit> Barnabas, yeah, tried, same speed as in lan^^
[18:24] <tgm4883> greenit, Barnabas it's on the same lan, plug in, see if it works. If it does, then roll back the update and see if it fixes the wifi
[18:24] <tshirtman> i tried acpi=off too, doesn't help… :(
[18:24] <Bhalash> tgm4883: greenit is reporting connection woes. I was half-assedly suggesting that he set his fileserver up for web-facing access and compare download speeds for X file versus his local network.
[18:25] <greenit> Bhalash, nope, i rly connect to my local server via lan, not wan^^
[18:25] <bekks> greenit: Then dyndns isnt involved at all.
[18:25] <tgm4883> Bhalash, no, greenit is saying his download speeds are slow, when connecting to a machine on his same LAN. I'm unsure why you think setting it up to go to the internet would be A) easier, and B) make it any faster
[18:25] <Barnabas> greenit, do you have a server on the LAN (wired) side of the hot spot
[18:26] <greenit> bekks, i know, thats why i asked if he thought that i am connected via dyndns ;)
[18:26] <Bhalash> greenit: Gotcha. :) You are also using the correct driver for your wireless card. I had a quick troll around Google, but no one's mentioned connection speeds dropping. Are you in a built-up area?
[18:26] <tgm4883> Barnabas, yes he does, he's already said that
[18:26] <greenit> Barnabas, yep
[18:26] <Barnabas> greenit, netperf?
[18:26] <Barnabas> and wireshark
[18:26]  * tgm4883 signs
[18:26] <Barnabas> see what really happens
[18:26] <furycd001> Hey people…  …Could anyone answer a quick question :?
[18:26] <bekks> furycd001: We dont know.
[18:27] <greenit> Barnabas, only my computer is wireless... and i neither have a long enough lan-cable to test if it is faster with wired lan nor is it easy enough to change the location of my computer
[18:27] <tgm4883> furycd001, you didn't give us a choice did you
[18:27] <bekks> furycd001: You have to ask your question before.
[18:27] <Barnabas> greenit, no but wireshark on that pc will probably tell you something when under netperf load
[18:28] <bekks> Barnabas: What do you expect to see in wireshark then?
[18:28] <tgm4883> Barnabas, if you are going to suggest wireshark, you should probably tell him what he is looking for
[18:28] <tgm4883> or more likely, just say IDK
[18:28] <Barnabas> that could be 50 different things :-)
[18:28] <furycd001> Ok so i have a machine that runs purely on openbox.  If i was to install unity, could the unity panel be moved to the bottom of the screen :?
[18:28] <bekks> Barnabas: Name 3 of them then, please.
[18:29] <tgm4883> Barnabas, telling someone to do a wireshark and look for the issues is lame
[18:29] <DangerousICE> does anyone know how i can add 3 hods in raid 0 to existing ubuntu
[18:29] <Bhalash> furycd001: AFAIK no. I use Openbox too. There is a plethora of standalone panel apps that are designed for it.
[18:29] <Barnabas> icmp packages, dhcp collisions, wlan renegotiations
[18:29] <Barnabas> or IP collisions
[18:29] <s9iper1> any body help me in install xampp server in ubuntu ??
[18:29] <Barnabas> to be exact
[18:29] <tgm4883> Barnabas, are you going to look at his wireshark for him?
[18:29] <bekks> icmp dont indicate anything. dhcp collisions are irrelevant because of the overhead and wlan renegotians should occure without load, too.
[18:30] <furycd001> Bhalash: Could you recommend anything thats similar to the unity panel but works well with i
[18:30] <furycd001> openbox
[18:30] <Bhalash> furycd001: What exactly do you want from a panel? Window management? Clock? Status icons?
[18:31] <Barnabas> tgm4883, pastebin?
[18:31] <Barnabas> I belive wireshark can dump to a file .. but nevermind
[18:32] <tgm4883> Barnabas, yes it can, I just want to know if since you are asking for a wireshark, if you are going to review it for him?
[18:32] <furycd001> Really im looking for something that will manage my open application & give me access to my installed apps !!  I'd pref like to find something that has transparancy like with tint2...
[18:32] <m15k> Hi I test the mainline 3.5 kernel, but got no networking at all. Any Idea what the problem could be or how to check out the problem?
[18:32] <bekks> furycd001: There is nothing like that for openbox.
[18:32] <Bhalash> furycd001: If you really want something inclusive, you could install gnome 2.* and load gnome-panel on its own.
[18:32] <Barnabas> tgm4883, maybe ..
[18:32] <tgm4883> furycd001, would AWN work for you http://wiki.awn-project.org/
[18:33] <furycd001> tgm4883: ive used awn before but dont really like it...
[18:33] <tgm4883> Barnabas, if you aren't willing to do that, then unless the user brings up the idea of wireshark it's probably reckless to be suggesting that to people in #ubuntu
[18:33] <Bhalash> furycd001: Try gnome-panel, or look into utilizing Openbox's excellent extensibility. I run each app full screen on its own desktop and bind everything to the keyboard. tgm4883's suggestion of AWN works too.
[18:34] <DangerousICE> can someone help me please? i have 3 2tb hdds i want to raid in existing ubuntu. how do i go about adding them? thanks
[18:34] <furycd001> Bhalash: Thanks i go take a look into gnome panel ;-)}
[18:34] <bekks> DangerousICE: Are they working already, all on their own?
[18:34] <Barnabas> tgm4883, maybe I just don't feel like getting the 3rd degree about it from you, and since you have not suggested anything better ..
[18:35] <Barnabas> tgm4883, but feel free
[18:35] <tgm4883> Barnabas, nothing better? You mean like actually troubleshooting steps such as isolating the issue?
[18:35] <tgm4883> Yea I'm pretty sure I did suggest that
[18:35] <Bhalash> furycd001: You can load it individually by adding "gnome-panel &" to ./config/openbox/autostart
[18:36] <DangerousICE> bekks: i currently have them as 3 separate drives working
[18:36] <Barnabas> tgm4883, the court is all yours
[18:36] <david028x> hi trying to install ubuntu 11.10 from dvd on a hp g6. I just get the ubuntu default background with no foreground interface or installation menu. Just a cursor. What can I try next?
[18:37] <tgm4883> Barnabas, I've already suggested ideas that the user said he can't/won't do.
[18:37] <Barnabas> tgm4883, as I said
[18:38] <Bhalash> david028x: Is it a Canonical-supplied DVD or one you burnt yourself?
[18:38] <rodneymillerpca> Ok next question. My desktop thinks it has a laptop display. It is in 1024x768 (4:3) How do I loose the 4:3?
[18:38] <tgm4883> Barnabas, I'll I'm telling you is, don't just tell people to go do something that they are unfamiliar with unless you plan to A) tell them what they should be looking for or B) look at it for them
[18:38] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, that doesn't make sense, what is the native resolution of your monitor?
[18:38] <david028x> Bhalash: I burnt it myself using gb.releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ and varified
[18:39] <rodneymillerpca> Agreed. Normaly 1024 x 768
[18:39] <qmr> any of you guys in or around NJ?
[18:39] <tshirtman> any help for hibernation ? my system won't poweroff after s2disk same from hibernate, pm-hibernate, or from menu
[18:39] <Bhalash> david028x: To explicitly confirm: You downloaded the ISO, burnt it and confirmed that the MD5 sum matches?
[18:39] <rodneymillerpca> It seems to be giving me stretching or zoomed sizes
[18:39] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Try here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/
[18:40] <david028x> Bhalash: I downloaded the iso, windows 7 burned it after opening the iso and I checked varify after burning as an option and it came out complete
[18:41] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, if the native resolution of your monitor is 1024x768 and your currently running at 1024x768, and that is a 4:3 resolution, then I don't see the problem
[18:41] <Bhalash> david028x: Okay. I ask because your problem honestly sounds like faulty installation media. Could you try to burn a new CD, and confirm the MD5?
[18:42] <david028x> Bhalash: ok sure thanks il give that a go and come back if i have any more problems :)
[18:42] <bekks> DangerousICE: http://dtbaker.com.au/random-bits/ubuntu---howto-easily-setup-raid-5-with-lvm.html
[18:43] <Bhalash> david028x: If the problem persists, consider a different installation format, such as a USB key. MD5 after download, and MD5 after burning.
[18:43] <DangerousICE> bekks: thank you. i kept googling but couldn't find how to set up on existing installation.
[18:43] <rodneymillerpca> I'm a rookie Bhalash. lol
[18:43] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Are you burning this DVD in Windows or Linux?
[18:44] <rodneymillerpca> tgm4883 It has everything bloated likes it 800x600
[18:44] <rodneymillerpca> No dvd for me
[18:44] <bekks> DangerousICE: That guide is for adding an additional RAID5 softwara raid, for using it as a data volume.
[18:44] <Bhalash> david028x: An MD5 sum is a hashed number generated by an algorithm. It is the "digital fingerprint" of the file.
[18:45] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Sorry, meant that for someone else. :)
[18:45] <Bhalash> david028x: If the file changes (is corrupted during download or burning), it's fingerprint/MD5 sum changes.
[18:45] <DangerousICE> bekks: thats exactly what i need. the raid is just gonna hold my media files for xbmc
[18:46] <Bhalash> david028x: Canonical's download page has the MD5 hash of every file there. After you download it, you look at the MD5. If it has changed, the file is corrupt. Ditto after burning. If the MD5 of the DVD is different, then it was corrupted during burning.
[18:47] <blz> DangerousICE, a fellow XBMC-er I see =)
[18:47] <livingdaylight> What is the deal with pulling usb's on installation restart? Using discs we are prompted to but it seems on usb installs we are not
[18:47] <r0tha> livingdaylight: well i mean if you feel that annoyed by it
[18:47] <r0tha> why not start writing some code for the installer to check for usb vs. disc usage
[18:48] <r0tha> it is after all...........fweeeeee
[18:48] <Robitron> hello.  is this the support chat?
[18:48] <r0tha> Robitron: just ask the question
[18:48] <blz> Robitron, yes it is =)
[18:48] <r0tha> Robitron: (please don't take that negatively, it was said kindly )
[18:49] <Robitron> okay, i'm trying to install ubuntu but i keep getting a signal out of range message on reload.  the problem is, i've checked every site i could find and everyone is saying to change this code and that.
[18:49] <tgm4883> r0tha, I don't think that is what he was saying, I think it's more, "why aren't we told to do remove it when installing from USB"
[18:49] <yoyoyo_> #drupal-commerce
[18:49] <Robitron> i don't know anything about coding. so i'm totally lost.  :(
[18:49] <livingdaylight> r0tha: i didn't mean to imply that I am annoyed by it. Sorry, if that is how it translates over the net. I just meant to ask how, and at what point do I remove the usb? Should I try and time it as it reboots and just pull it out? That feels violent and I don't want to get it wrong
[18:49] <DangerousICE> bekks: been using xbmc since it first came out for old school xbox. had it running with windows 7 but decided to come back to linux.
[18:49] <r0tha> livingdaylight: sorry i'm just not reading between the lines
[18:49] <roothorick> Robitron: how old is your monitor? And how is it connected?
[18:49] <r0tha> tad ummmm
[18:49] <r0tha> sleepy
[18:49] <tgm4883> livingdaylight, that sounds like a bug and should be reported on launchpad
[18:49] <blz> Robitron,  have you tried changing the code as they prescribed?
[18:50] <tgm4883> livingdaylight, but to answer your question, just pull it when the system is at BIOS
[18:51] <livingdaylight> tgm4883:"... but to answer your question, just pull it when the system is at BIOS" ok, thank you!
[18:51] <marian_> hi
[18:52] <rodneymillerpca> I tried lxrandr It still has my 1024x768 looking bloated like 800x600
[18:52] <roothorick> Robitron: 90% of the time that happens because you're using an ancient/crappy monitor that doesn't support EDID, or a damaged cable so the EDID signal isn't coming back
[18:53] <rodneymillerpca> WOuld it be a gnome, ubuntu, driver, or ? setting?
[18:53] <roothorick> this rsync is taking forever :/
[18:54] <help2man> I have noticed you have alot of different programs in your ubuntu repo's but I was wondering how ubuntu went about setting this up. Did alot of the software get mirrored over from gnu/fsf/savannah 60,000 projects ... because I cann't imagine all that could was written from scratch by ubuntu ?
[18:54] <help2man> since alot of software when I go thru it in ubuntu is also in gnu repos
[18:56] <help2man> I guess is there away to determine or only view the software that is different then the gnu /fsf /savannah ,....etc already built code that was just mirrored over the stuff that was created new for ubuntu
[18:56] <rodneymillerpca> Bhalash tgm4883Any idea on how to loose the 4:3
[18:57] <Myrtti> help2man: debian.
[18:57] <roothorick> help2man: most of Ubuntu is just outside FOSS projects with the occasional patch. It's the Linux way and all that. A LOT of it is copied from Debian though.
[18:57] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Rigorous exercise? Er, I mean. I tuned out of this discussion. Did you try the steps given here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/
[18:59] <rodneymillerpca> Bhalash rofl. That page is a bit over my head. I did get the lxrandr gui but ti still adds the zoomed in 4:3
[18:59] <help2man> ok but is there away to see only new ubuntu specific software I would image there is some new software that is not all FOSS  or in debian repo just copied over... since if this is the case you could have just used debians repos for your os
[18:59] <tgm4883> help2man, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[19:00] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Okay, so. From the top: What resolution is your monitor *supposed* to support? Is it a desktop monitor or laptop?
[19:01] <greenit> ok, so after testing my wireless connection with netperf and netload, i can say, that only receive is a problem... i am sending with up to 55 mbit/s and receiving with up to 1.1 mbit/s .... thats very slow :/
[19:01] <help2man> knowing exactly what software and around about number of projects that are ubuntu specific and not already done or copied over from debian / gnu / ,,,other repos
[19:01] <roothorick> help2man: there's only a handful of Ubuntu specific stuff, Unity, Software Center... I think that's it. And even those have their own project pages and stuff
[19:01] <rodneymillerpca> Bhalash It is a desktop that thinks it is a laptop. It is normally simple 1024x768
[19:02] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Okay, 1024x768 is a 4:3 ratio. So what's the problem? What resolution is it in fact displaying?
[19:02] <tgm4883> help2man, how would you account for stuff that originally started in Ubuntu and was then pushed to the debian repos?  That software would appear that it comes from debian now
[19:03] <rodneymillerpca> To me it loks like a bloated 800x600
[19:03] <roothorick> help2man: I think the situation is a lot more complicated than you realize. FOSS is quite a bit more interconnected
[19:03] <help2man> ok I see so most of these linux distros that have alot of different software in there repo's didn't could it they just used it from debian major repos , or redhat major repo , and for slackware ones maybe gnu ...and mirrored them
[19:03] <help2man> could =code
[19:03] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: 1024x768 is kinda tiny for a desktop resolution by today's standards, I'd kinda expect ubuntu to look a little off
[19:03] <tgm4883> roothorick, yea, i'm not entirely sure what he's trying to figure out
[19:04] <steven> sudo apt-get install utube ripper
[19:04] <steven> guyss i nees some helpp!
[19:04] <rodneymillerpca> Bhalash Currently it is displaying 1024x768 (3:4) I'm looking for just simple 1024x768
[19:05] <steven> ok nobody willing to help... :(
[19:05] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: 1024x768 *IS* 4:3
[19:05] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: I am sorry, but I do not understand you. 1024x768 *is* a 4:3 ratio.
[19:05] <DanC> my gnome session was getting kinda messed up so I re-created my home directory and re-ran tasksel; now I can't get my nvidia graphics working
[19:05] <help2man> so really the distros companies work on just either changing the desktop or user interfaces , or modifying a vannila kernel or both, and mirroring the big repo's over , as well as maybe writing a few specific apps like ubuntu's control center
[19:05] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: it's an aspect ratio. Key word here being RATIO. 256*4 = 1024, 256*3 = 768
[19:05] <tgm4883> help2man, so a few times during the ubuntu dev cycle, there is a sync from the debian repos (testing I believe), there are some patches that get added for the Ubuntu repos. Some software isn't in debian for various reasons and has been added to the Ubuntu repos though the traditional process
[19:06] <rodneymillerpca> Bhalash ok lets try this a diferent way. what exactly is the 4:3? Is it like a zoom or something?
[19:06] <tgm4883> help2man, that is simplifying it a bit, but yea
[19:06] <DanC> the suggestions on this page don't quite work for me. http://askubuntu.com/questions/66339/how-do-i-solve-this-nvidia-driver-download-error
[19:06] <Barnabas> rodneymillerpca, width/height ratio
[19:06] <rodneymillerpca> Ah ok roothorick beat me to it.
[19:06] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, 4:3 simply means that given a pixel, there are 4 pixels horizontally for every 3 pixels vertically
[19:07] <VanKush> hello folks, please, I need an usb power up issue fixed... on Lenovo S205, Ubuntu Precise 64bit, I only get 1 out of 3 physical usb slots powered up. Here is the dmesg output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1116112/
[19:07] <DanC> I continue to get WARNING: /sys/module/nvidia_current/drivers does not exist, cannot rebind nvidia_current driver
[19:07] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: It is an aspect ratio. Divide 1024 by 4 and multiply it by 3: You get 768. For every 4 pixels across (x), you get 3 down (y). It is 1024 x pixels and 768 y pixels.
[19:07] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: think of aspect ratios like classes of resolutions that are different sizes but the same shape
[19:07] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Answer me this in as many words: What *should* the screen resolution ideally be. What is it now?
[19:07] <help2man> gotcha , I would imagine there are peoples jobs just to test the debian software works on ubuntu when you mirrored it over
[19:08] <roothorick> help2man: more like volunteers mostly take care of that
[19:08] <help2man> and in most cases that shouldn't be an issue but I am assuming somebody is payed to check
[19:08] <roothorick> help2man: most distros don't have any kind of corporate backing, it's just a couple of dedicated hobbyists putting something together
[19:09] <rodneymillerpca> Ok let me explain it better this way maybe. After upgrading 2 days ago to this Ubuntu It seems my screen is magnifying things (less desktop real state)
[19:09] <roothorick> ubuntu, redhat/fedora, suse, are rather special in that regard
[19:09] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: what were you running before?
[19:09] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Screenshot, please. Can you screenshot in Windows (assuming a dual boot) and screenshot in Linux.
[19:09] <help2man> so if ubuntu is free and a community thing I have always wonder how non-profit companies can stay in business like gnu , ubuntu , fsf ,..ya you can get donation but to pay every employ to survive I cann't see that always guarenteed to cover ?
[19:10] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Don't take this the wrong way, but you haven't a clue what you are talking about, and right now a screenshot of the problem will greatly help me identify it.
[19:10] <rodneymillerpca> I can. I am pure Ubuntu. Windows no more.
[19:10] <tgm4883> help2man, ubuntu isn't a non-profit, gnu and fsf etc have donations
[19:10] <rodneymillerpca> ok screenshot I can do
[19:10] <zykotick9> help2man: ubuntu is NOT a free/community distro - it's a business
[19:10] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Thank you. Also, can you supply me the make and model of monitor and video card?
[19:11] <roothorick> help2man: Ubuntu kinda exists in a weird middle state. They have backing from a major non-profit (Canonical) but there's still a lot of hobbyist work that goes into it
[19:11] <tgm4883> roothorick, canonical isn't a non-profit
[19:11] <roothorick> oh it isn't? my bad
[19:11] <tgm4883> roothorick, not even close
[19:11] <roothorick> wait... where's the business model?
[19:11] <tgm4883> roothorick, same as redhat, support
[19:12] <roothorick> interesting
[19:12] <tgm4883> they also have ubuntu one
[19:12] <mely> ciao
[19:12] <roothorick> help2man: well there you have it. They give the software away for free, then offer premium support to other businesses
[19:12] <kingofswords> hi
[19:12] <help2man> roothorick "help2man: most distros don't have any kind of corporate backing, it's just a couple of dedicated hobbyists putting something together"  then for ubuntu if that was true there really shouldn't be much coding to do to create this...since a few people only equal a few man years of work :) ... so these billions of software already must have existed and they just touch up the kernel , and made the desktop look nice, add a few
[19:12] <help2man> apps , and market it very well to appeal to most
[19:12] <tgm4883> roothorick, they have consumer support too
[19:13] <bazhang> !ot | help2man
[19:13] <kingofswords> my boot up time is 2mins now...waas 10 seconds b4....anyone know how to solve?
[19:13] <roothorick> kingofswords: there is no way you were booting in ten seconds.
[19:13] <bazhang> take this to #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic roothorick help2man
[19:13] <rodneymillerpca> rofl. I hate change. lol
[19:13] <kingofswords> rooot, why not?
[19:14] <roothorick> kingofswords: I'd wager you were suspending (to RAM) and not actually shutting down
[19:14] <kingofswords> rooot, ssd drive...maybe 20 secs i dunno....does it matter?
[19:15] <help2man> ok one last thing before I move the discussion. help2man: well there you have it. They give the software away for free, then offer premium support to other businesses ..... how can they be certain enough business will uses and pay for support .. that is not guarenteed ???
[19:15] <bekks> kingofswords: That long? :)
[19:15] <bazhang> help2man, thats enough
[19:15] <tgm4883> help2man, um, thats how businesses work?
[19:15] <roothorick> kingofswords: honestly, if you don't want to wait, you should probably just suspend to RAM instead of shutting down
[19:15] <XiRoN> How can I make it so a user can ONLY read,write and execute in their OWN home directory and no where else.
[19:16] <roothorick> XiRoN: if they can't execute anything outside their home directory, they can't do... anything, really.
[19:16] <kingofswords> rooot, point is the boot up time has suddenly changed to a really long time
[19:16] <bekks> XiRoN: Thats the default, besides /tmp
[19:16] <roothorick> XiRoN: chroot might be a better solution to whatever it is you're cooking
[19:17] <rodneymillerpca> Bhalash ss is here http://rodneymillerpca.com/?q=node/10372
[19:17] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: did you resize it?
[19:18] <rodneymillerpca> Bhalash I have a gateway monitor 786n Simple 17"
[19:18] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Can I see the original, unresized screenshot please?
[19:18] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: nevermind, I figured it out
[19:19] <roothorick> Bhalash: http://rodneymillerpca.com/sites/default/files/images/Screenshot%20from%202012-07-28%2014:11:02.png
[19:19] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: Well, you're getting 1024x768, and that's just how big things are in 1024x768. What kind of monitor are you using?
[19:19] <rodneymillerpca> I was just going to suggest left click and view. thank you
[19:19] <XiRoN> another questions, how can I whitelist only 1 IP to connect to an SSH server?
[19:20] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: One sec. Looking up your montior and playing World of Warcraft at the same time. :)
[19:20] <roothorick> XiRoN: I believe so. Mill over sshd_config and whatnot
[19:20] <rodneymillerpca> I had a lot more desktop realestate in the last ubuntu
[19:20] <rodneymillerpca> Take your time. No rush
[19:21] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, what version are you on?
[19:21] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: did anything change since you installed the previous version?
[19:21] <dcope> How come I can't read from a hfs+ mounted volume in ubuntu server?
[19:21] <dcope> I installed xubuntu-desktop, and it was able to read it fine.
[19:21] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: it looks like it's not getting EDID for some reason
[19:21] <rodneymillerpca> Nothing. Just upgrade
[19:21] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, upgrade to what?
[19:22] <tgm4883> dcope, because ubuntu server doesn't have the necessary libraries to mount hfs+ stuff?
[19:22] <vigneshmoha> Hello, hi I can't ping an local network ip which is correspond to an ubuntu system. . Its shows destination host unreachable. But i can access other local ip's from that ubuntu system
[19:22] <rodneymillerpca> oh I'm sorry. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[19:22] <dcope> tgm4883: i've installed hfsutils
[19:23] <roothorick> vigneshmoha: firewall. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
 i disabled firewall already
[19:24] <tgm4883> dcope, did you install hfsplus?
[19:24] <dcope> yes
[19:24] <rodneymillerpca> I was on Ubuntu 11.10
[19:24] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: You don't get any larger options than 1024x768?
[19:25] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, do you need to install proprietary drivers?
[19:25] <vigneshmoha> roothorick: i disabled firewall already
[19:26] <roothorick> vigneshmoha: it sounds suspect to me. It's either firewall or a routing table issue. End of story, there isn't anything else that could interfere.
[19:26] <rodneymillerpca> Nope. that is the largest option. That I have always used
[19:26] <tgm4883> dcope, sorry IDK then, I don't have HFS devices
[19:26] <cakeboss> How do I register in irc?
[19:26] <rodneymillerpca> The driver was put in for me with the update
[19:26] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: so you used 1024x768 in 11.10?
[19:26] <zykotick9> !register | cakeboss
[19:26] <rodneymillerpca> Correct
[19:26] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, what desktop are you using?
[19:27] <vigneshmoha> roothorick: oki.. thanks for your time.. I'll check on that routing table
[19:27] <rodneymillerpca> Ah here is a better way to explain. I use to be able top to bottom in 1 colom have 12 icons on the dectop. Now 6 would fill it
[19:27] <VanKush> Folks, please, what can cause my USB ports to power on and off accidentally?
[19:27] <rodneymillerpca> gnome
[19:28] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: Could it be quite simply that icon sizes have changed? You can make them smaller.
[19:28] <ininit> broken pipe
[19:28] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: well, that's just how big things are at 1024x768, by default at least. You could try playing with icon size and what not
[19:28] <rodneymillerpca> VanKush low power from power pack
[19:28] <VanKush> rodneymillerpca: can I fix this?
[19:28] <dodo> any words on the ubuntu's new gnome flavour?
[19:29] <roothorick> VanKush: driver hiccup, motherboard flaw/failure, sometimes a power issue
[19:29] <rodneymillerpca> Larger power pack or newer.  Have you tried a different USB stick?
[19:31] <rodneymillerpca> It could be tgm4883. It just seems to me the screen is magnified or amplified.
[19:31] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, but what we are trying to tell you is that is isn't
[19:31] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, you are just used to stuff being super small
[19:32] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: the thing is, Ubuntu is optimized for typical screen sizes of today, which tend to start at 1366x768 and only go up. 1024x768 is rather small.
[19:32] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, if you want to make things smaller again, you'll probably want to lookup how to change the DPI
[19:32] <rodneymillerpca> ANother way to explain it also is in firefox I use to see my whole home page.
[19:33] <Bhalash> rodneymillerpca: roothorick http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp
[19:33] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: Well hey, how big is your current monitor anyway? Like physically, in inches
[19:33] <rodneymillerpca> http://rodneymillerpca.com/ Now I see only as far as Worldofours menu spot on the right side
[19:33] <rodneymillerpca> 17"
[19:33] <VanKush> roothorick: I have problems to connect Telephone (for tethering the Cellular HSDPA connection to the netbook - SE xperia mini ST15) and any other device, such as mouse or usb key memory
[19:34] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/05/how-to-change-font-and-ui-user.html
[19:34] <Raydiation> is there a way to group the imap inboxes in evolution?
[19:34] <zykotick9> rodneymillerpca: i'm guessing you used to use a higher resolution.  2 questions: 1) what video card is this "lspci | grep -i vga" if unsure 2) is this a CRT or LCD monitor?
[19:35] <roothorick> VanKush: I've seen a flaw in some laptops and motherboards where they can't actually deliver the current they're required to by the USB spec. So your phone is drawing all the current it's legally allowed to by the standard but your mobo can't take it, most likely
[19:35] <Bhalash> zykotick9: The monitor appears to be a Gateway-branded Proview 786n. That /should/ support up to 1280x1024.
[19:35] <roothorick> VanKush: try topping off your battery first and see if it's better behaved then
[19:36] <zykotick9> Bhalash: well - that answer one of my questions ;)  i'm guessing 1280x1024 would be a lot more reasonable then 1024x768
[19:36] <tgm4883> Bhalash, well that is probably the issue then. He needs to be at 1280x1024 instead of 1024x768
[19:36] <rodneymillerpca> Nvidia geforse 6150se
[19:36] <Bhalash> zykotick9: 1024x768 is a fallback resolution because virtually everything supports it.
[19:36] <tgm4883> that would make the icons appear smaller
[19:36] <rodneymillerpca> nforse 430
[19:36] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: 17" is *tiny*. You can't even get a new monitor smaller than 19" today.
[19:36] <zykotick9> Bhalash: its a vesa supported resolution for sure...
[19:37] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, open up jockey and see if it says it's using the proprietary drivers
[19:37] <rodneymillerpca> Agreed, However why fix what ain't broke. lol
[19:37] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: Another theory: Ubuntu wasn't respecting the DPI from the EDID in 11.10 and now it is, and now things are the "right" size on your itty bitty monitor
[19:37] <rodneymillerpca> jockey?
[19:37] <Robitron> okay, that was odd.  so for some reason, i was kicked from the channel.  :(
[19:38] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, pastebin the output of 'jockey-text -l'
[19:38] <rodneymillerpca> I am wondering if it was another resolution higher?
[19:38] <Robitron> so can anybody explain to be how to get my pc to load ubuntu without the signal out of range message?  p.s. i'm no coder.
[19:39] <roothorick> Robitron: as before, it's almost always a crappy/ancient monitor or a bad cable
[19:39] <zykotick9> rodneymillerpca: you might want to have a look at this bug... (unsure if it's helpful, but seems relevant) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/982485
[19:39] <roothorick> Robitron: if you're using a TV... don't.
[19:39] <Robitron> i'm not using a tv.  i'm using a dell monitor.
[19:39] <tgm4883> zykotick9, I doubt that will help, since he isn't using unity
[19:40] <roothorick> tgm4883: I remember that bug. It wasn't Unity, it was everydamnedthing.
[19:40] <rodneymillerpca> omg how in the world do you copy from the terminal. aparently control c and right click are a no go
[19:40] <roothorick> tgm4883: Compiz didn't work period, no games worked, Flash would crash whatever browser you're using, nothing that called anything GL worked correctly, if at all
[19:40] <zykotick9> tgm4883: it's the nvidia driver with a 6150 (in comments) i'm trying to highlight
[19:41] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, right click should work, or use pastebinit
[19:41] <Bhalash> roothorick: rodneymillerpca Would this work? xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --rate 60
[19:41] <zykotick9> roothorick: i'm guessing your nvidia driver isn't working - thus no resolutions and no 3d
[19:42] <Guest26983>  /msg nickserv identify
[19:42] <roothorick> zykotick9: no, my driver *WAS* working. There was a genuine problem with a certain nV driver and 6xxx chips
[19:42] <wildmanne39> Robitron, did you get my message?
[19:42] <roothorick> zykotick9: I'm good now though, they rolled out an update that fixed it eventually
[19:42] <rodneymillerpca> somethings should never be improved on. It will not let me copy from there
[19:42] <Beeton> hello, I'm having trouble booting a live cd of Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell Inspiron 1525. It shows a small keyboard symbol and a person in a circle for a while, does nothing else, then eventually switches to text mode with a kernel panic saying it can't mount the root fs
[19:42] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, then use pastebinit
[19:42] <zykotick9> roothorick: i'm not talking about nv (that's deprecated) - it's nouveau or propritary at this point ;)
[19:43] <roothorick> zykotick9: I'm talking about the nvidia binary driver. 295.40 would barf all over itself on a 6xxx
[19:43] <roothorick> zykotick9: It had to do with a security patch destroying compatibility with certain older chipsets
[19:43] <Robitron> the only option i see before it goes to that flashing message is my boot options.
[19:43] <zykotick9> roothorick: ahhh. gotcha.  don't have that hardware ;)
[19:43] <roothorick> zykotick9: and it absolutely KILLED 12.04 on an alarming number of notebooks
[19:44] <rodneymillerpca> pastebinit?
[19:44] <rodneymillerpca> Rookie here. lol
[19:44] <roothorick> zykotick9: because it would see the nV chip and try to use Unity which would just crash and leave the user with nothing
[19:44] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, yes, it's a program that will put it to pastebin for you
[19:44] <zykotick9> !pastebinit | rodneymillerpca
[19:44] <rodneymillerpca> ok without adding more programs. How do I do the roothorick: rodneymillerpca Would this work? xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --rate 60
[19:45] <tgm4883> so do 'jockey-text -l | pastebinit', then give us the link
[19:45] <Murd0ck> I need linux prog help
[19:45] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: Just open a terminal and type it in
[19:45] <Murd0ck> need top pro help :)
[19:45] <tgm4883> Murd0ck, ask your question
[19:45] <roothorick> Murd0ck: You've come to the wrong place. There's no pros here ;)

[19:46] <islandmonkey> Hmm
[19:46] <Murd0ck> hop*

[19:47] <islandmonkey> Willi-Smith: I know your password ;) *evil laugh*
[19:47] <tgm4883> Murd0ck, use startup disk creator with a persistant partition

[19:47] <Willi-Smith> Im a noob, dont be bad
[19:47] <Murd0ck> can someone PM with me with details on that, I never done that before

[19:49] <zykotick9> anan: what editor are you using?  did you use sudo (or gksudo) to start the editor?
[19:50] <anan> i used sudo
[19:50] <rodneymillerpca> and the xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --rate 60 did not find vga
[19:50] <Murd0ck> roothorick,  yea I used that too, but it lascks some tools
[19:50] <zykotick9> anan: that's odd that it's saving to the wrong location/file then?
[19:50] <consfearacy> i messed my desktop when using compizconfig-settings-manager... i was in preferences and clicked "set to default"... now unity bar is gone and styatus bar is gone too
[19:50] <roothorick> oh dear, here we go
[19:50] <consfearacy> any help?
[19:51] <zykotick9> roothorick: don't make comments!  that means it works - and clutters the channel more.

[19:51] <roothorick> Murd0ck: like?
[19:51] <LL2|Android> Wut
[19:51] <Murd0ck> ?
[19:51] <Murd0ck> wtf was that?
[19:51] <consfearacy> how can i save my desktop?
[19:51] <rodneymillerpca> Unity is a nightmare for us antiquated geeks
[19:52] <roothorick> Murd0ck: some skiddie trying to spam the channel. Don't worry about it
[19:52] <bwat47> consfearacy:  run "unity --reset" in console
[19:52]  * zykotick9 wonders shat "save my desktop" could mean?
[19:52] <Murd0ck> it kicked me for a second
[19:52] <consfearacy> bwat, the problem is i am not in guest account... my main account cannot access terminal window at all
[19:52] <consfearacy> bwat47, i am in guest account
[19:53] <roothorick> Murd0ck: what tools is UBCD missing?
[19:53] <rodneymillerpca> Did you see the pastebin tgm4883
[19:53] <bwat47> consfearacy: just use your normal account and login to unity2d to do it
[19:54] <Murd0ck> um,.. biggest onr is for video card testing
[19:54] <Murd0ck> test memory on video card
[19:54] <roothorick> Murd0ck: You know, have you actually found something that can be run from a live thing to stress test videocards?
[19:54] <roothorick> most of what I find is Windows only
[19:54] <roothorick> and I'd really rather not piss around with BartPE
[19:55] <Murd0ck> yea it's just a video renderign tool
[19:55] <Murd0ck> it checks to see the performance of the CPU
[19:55] <Murd0ck> GPU*
[19:55] <Murd0ck> my god these olyimpics are bloody boring
[19:56] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, yea that looks ok, providing your card is supported by nvidia current (which it should be). Have you tried going into nvidia-settings and changing the resolution there?
[19:56] <roothorick> well on top of that you'd have to install all the proprietary drivers and whatnot in the live environment
[19:56] <roothorick> it's quite the project
[19:56] <Murd0ck> yup
[19:56] <Murd0ck> anyway
[19:56] <Murd0ck> need to figure out persistance
[19:56] <rodneymillerpca> Good idea. tgm4883 How or where.
[19:57] <Murd0ck> if I do that,.. like
[19:57] <kevin> hi all. so i was recently using the open source nvidia driver, and then i "dpkg -i" 'd an nvidia-current package. didn't work, so i removed it from recovery console. rebooted into open source nvidia driver, and now the resolution is alllll minimal. used to run at 1650x??? or whatever tahat resolution was... now xrandr is reporting the max is 1280x720. any ideas?
[19:57] <roothorick> Murd0ck: There's guides abound online. Try "Ubuntu live persistence file" in google
[19:57] <Murd0ck> can I install it on one usb drive and hope from computer to computer?
[19:57] <roothorick> should, yeah
[19:57] <rodneymillerpca> kevin and I in same boat?
[19:57] <roothorick> the persistence file is on the USB drive so it falls that drive around
[19:57] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, run nvidia-settings (probably with gksudo) and look at the xserver display configuration
[19:58] <tgm4883> kevin, why not use jockey to install the correct driver?
[19:58] <Willi-Smith> Hi, Can you help me format one flash-disk, please? In my case it is a bit difficult

[19:59] <Murd0ck> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZQet3HNm_Y    ?
[19:59] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, that isn't odd, that is how the drivers work
[19:59] <tgm4883> rodneymillerpca, which is exactly why I was trying to find out if you were using the correct driver
[19:59] <zykotick9> kevin: did you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?  if so, try moving it to xorg.conf.back and restart Xorg
[19:59] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: That's a good thing, that's a confirmation that Ubuntu is getting the EDID
[19:59] <Willi-Smith> Please is there anybody to help me?
[19:59] <roothorick> Murd0ck: looks good enough to me
[19:59] <rodneymillerpca> Ok so we party now? lol
[20:00] <Murd0ck> sweet
[20:00] <roothorick> rodneymillerpca: switch to the biggest resolution it offers you
[20:01] <rodneymillerpca> OMG! AWESOME! Thank you oh great wise Ubuntu gods.
[20:02] <tgm4883> you can just call me tgm4883
[20:02] <DanC> did I miss it? the solution to the resolution problem?
[20:02] <tgm4883> DanC, yes
[20:02] <DanC> again, please?
[20:02] <rodneymillerpca> Correct. It is solved
[20:02] <tgm4883> DanC, it was "use the nvidia settings panel since you have the nvidia driver"
[20:02] <Murd0ck> Wait so you just do an advanced install onto a usb?
[20:02] <Murd0ck> no specail menu?
[20:03] <rodneymillerpca> I have it set 1152x864
[20:03] <DanC> hmm... how can one tell if one has the nvidia driver? I keep getting jockey.log complaints
[20:03] <kevin> tgm4883: because i kept having to redownload & uninstall the driver, so i just decided to keep the deb pkg instead of downloading 50+ megs everytime. *shrug*
[20:03] <tgm4883> DanC, jockey-text -l
[20:03] <sw> Murd0ck: you're trying to install Ubuntu on to a USB?
[20:03] <bizket> Hello, I could use some input on an installation issue I am having. I am trying to install 12.04 desktop (64 bit) on a 6 year old computer (with an athlon dual core 64 bit proc and 2 gig of ram). It gets to the "Where are you" screen and when I click connect, I just get the spinning disk cursor and nothing happens. I have left it for hours with no change, both connected to the internet and not connected.
[20:03] <Murd0ck> sw yes
[20:03] <kevin> zykotick9: maybe. i'll try that
[20:03] <sw> !usb | Murd0ck
[20:03] <tgm4883> kevin, sounds like it didn't work though
[20:03] <sw> Murd0ck: did you read that already?
[20:04] <Murd0ck> i did, but I suck at readin tutorials
[20:04] <sw> Murd0ck: so you want us to read it for you?
[20:04] <roothorick> Murd0ck: We can't do much better really
[20:04] <sw> that's unlikely
[20:04] <Murd0ck> no
[20:04] <Murd0ck> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZQet3HNm_Y
[20:04] <kevin> tgm4883: yeah, never does.... for some reason official nvidia driver poops out when starting X so i had to switch back to open source nouveau
[20:04] <rodneymillerpca> Thank you Bhalash tgm4883and roothorrick
[20:04] <cyberdo> bizket: click with the mouse or keyboard? Some parts of the installer fails terribly when using the keyboard to make selections
[20:04] <Murd0ck> the video,.. it basically says just install it on a usb drive through advance optionsd
[20:04] <kevin> buuuut maybe this time it'll work.. hah. rebooting.
[20:04] <roothorick> kevin: what GPU?
[20:04] <sw> Murd0ck: is that what the tutorial says, too?
[20:04] <roothorick> oh damn
[20:04] <Murd0ck> yes
[20:05] <sw> Murd0ck: so do that?
[20:05] <dougl> does pithos work in ubuntu or kubuntu?
[20:05] <Murd0ck> have you done it before?
[20:05] <dougl> it does not work here on my 12.04 install
[20:05] <Willi-Smith> Hi, can someone help me format flash disk<
[20:05] <bizket> With the mouse Cyberdo
[20:05] <sw> !format | Willi-Smith
[20:05] <sw> Murd0ck: no, but I trust the tutorial
[20:05] <bizket> Sorry, don't know how to respond as a whisper on this web client
[20:05] <cyberdo> bizket: then I will be of no further help.. sorry
[20:05] <DanC> tgm4883, ok, jockey-text -l output: http://pastebin.com/HVebmAaN
[20:06] <dougl> !pithos | dougl
[20:06] <sw> dougl: !info pithos | dougl
[20:06] <Murd0ck> anyway, some that has done this, is this how it is done?
[20:06] <sw> !info pithos | dougl
[20:06] <sw> dougl: should do ^
[20:06] <DanC> ooh. nifty.
[20:06] <dougl> hmmm - not helpful
[20:07] <hwkiller-netbook> pithos isn't working for me on ubuntu 12.04 though
[20:07] <hwkiller-netbook> complains that it needs a newer version
[20:07] <sw> Murd0ck: read the tutorial. if it suits you, follow it. yes I have done it before, and yes I have followed that tutorial. tutorials on the _Ubuntu_ wiki are not likely to lie
[20:07] <dougl> hwkiller-netbook, I have a link for that - you need a fix?
[20:07] <hwkiller-netbook> I'm assuming I need a ppa
[20:07] <hwkiller-netbook> I never cared enough to fix it; I use pianobar instead
[20:08] <sw> dougl: your question is also not helpful. you asked if it worked, I answered that it should. if it doesn't, provide errors, pastebins etc. so that someone can provide further help for your _actual_ problem
[20:08] <dougl> hwkiller-netbook, yes - you want it?... I started with pianobar and that says I need libpiano or something
[20:08] <StoneCypher> does apt-get have what centos' yum calls "third party repos"
[20:08] <hwkiller-netbook> Nah, I don't like going ppa crazy
[20:08]  * DanC hopes for the next clue from tgm4883 after http://pastebin.com/HVebmAaN
[20:08] <roothorick> StoneCypher: You mean PPAs?
[20:08] <sw> !ppa | StoneCypher
[20:09] <dougl> sw - thanks for your help... ppl always helpful - was refering to the bot...
[20:10] <StoneCypher> ubottu: well, i got pointed at one already, and i'm trying to figure out how to get it into apt
[20:10] <StoneCypher> oh.
[20:10] <StoneCypher> roothorick/sw: maybe
[20:10] <dougl> sw the reason I asked if it worked is because that is all I wanted to know :)
[20:10] <DanC> rodneymillerpca, are you using nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates?
[20:10] <dougl> hwkiller-netbook, so your pianobar works on 12.04?
[20:10] <sw> dougl: bot confirmed whether the package existed or not. if it does, usually it works. so just go ahead and '$ sudo apt-get install pithos'
[20:11]  * DanC tries jockey-text -e kmod:nvidia_current , once more, with feeling
[20:11] <hwkiller-netbook> well, last time I tried it, yeah, but I haven't used pianobar on ubuntu for a while. I tried pithos yesterday and it was still borked.
[20:11] <sw> StoneCypher: '$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name'
[20:11] <hwkiller-netbook> (I use pianobar far more often on arch with my tiler)
[20:12] <Apetrick> Hello
[20:12] <dougl> hwkiller-netbook, k - thanks for the info
[20:13] <DanC> rodneymillerpca, clues?
[20:13] <dougl> sw installed pithos from default package but it did not work and added ppa and installed it and it looks like it works but no sound comes out.
[20:13] <Robitron> wildmann, you still here?
[20:18] <VanKush> halp, still no help, two usbs get unpowered regardles of whether the phone is plugged in or just a simple laser mouse
[20:19] <dougl> sw FYI pithos only works on my 12.04 kubuntu with accplus setting - thanks for the help... appreciate the time and advice :)
[20:19] <StoneCypher> sw: i may be using the terminology incorrectly
[20:19] <StoneCypher> sw: i'm talking about a network resource
[20:19] <StoneCypher> sw: specifically this: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/nathan-renniewaldock_ppa/oneiric/main/base/mysql-5.5
[20:20] <dougl> StoneCypher, you trying to add a ppa resource?
[20:20] <trism> StoneCypher: see the link at the top of that page: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/nathan-renniewaldock_ppa?dist=oneiric
[20:21] <doomikus> is this channel ok for help or general chat?
[20:21] <roothorick> VanKush: it's odd. I'd lean towards hardware failure, frankly
[20:21] <StoneCypher> dougl: i really don't know
[20:21] <StoneCypher> trism: looking, thanks
[20:21] <Murd0ck> SO it is officail,.. MS is going to block all programs unless they are installed through there "expo" interface begining sp1"
[20:21] <Murd0ck> yay! Ubuntu for the win!
[20:22] <StoneCypher> Murd0ck: uh, no, they aren't.
[20:22] <Murd0ck> uh yes they are,..
[20:22] <Murd0ck> 1 sec I get you link
[20:22] <StoneCypher> Murd0ck: they're blocking the new packaging format from the store, not old .exe / .com

[20:22] <StoneCypher> Murd0ck: and that doesn't apply to pro, to enterprise, or to anyone with a dev license

[20:23] <doomikus> prompted to potentially install newer proprietary nvidia drives.  chose version current iirc and now only able to see the mouse pointer.  at the cli, how might I fix this?
[20:24] <StoneCypher> Murd0ck: again, "no."
[20:24] <StoneCypher> Murd0ck: every existing application will work exactly the same way as it does right now.
[20:25] <Murd0ck> ah nm
[20:25] <Murd0ck> not even goign to argu this,.. going to see batman :P

[20:38] <Quaker> Hello. I'm on Lubuntu (latest LiveCD release), and those in the #lubuntu channel referred me here.
[20:38] <Quaker> I've got a NetGear WNDA3100v2 N600 USB network adapter.
[20:38] <Quaker> Which lacks any native drivers.
[20:39] <Quaker> I'm currently on the LiveCD, trying to install the drivers via ndiswrapper, yet ndisgtk reports that the module "ndiswrapper" could not be found when trying to mount it.
[20:41] <klj613> having problems with SSH keys. "Agent admitted failure to sign using the key" - I've got ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and i've got id_rsa.pub inside the servers ~/.ssh/authorized_keys not sure what is causing this
[20:43] <DJones> Quaker: Not sure if this helps, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[20:44] <Quaker> It doesn't, as I followed the guidelines to the dot.
[20:44] <DJones> Quaker: In section 2.2, it mentions that error message
[20:44] <Quaker> ..Wonderful.
[20:45] <DJones> Refers to this bug http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=100586&sid=f09bad1b17b5f4c62f1c4e68d044b8bf
[20:45] <Quaker> So I need to compile ndiswrapper from source and install it?
[20:45] <DJones> And says to complile from source
[20:45] <Debolaz> klj613: Have you ssh-add'ed the key?
[20:45] <Quaker> God damnit.
[20:45] <Quaker> Well at least I have the source on-hand.
[20:45] <xion> does anyone know if some sort of performance ip-bgp daemon exists that is open-source? something like avaya performance ip
[20:46] <DJones> Quaker: Hope it works
[20:47] <StoneCypher> so

[20:47] <StoneCypher> but i also can't uninstall 5.1 because ... there is an unmatched dependency for 5.5
[20:47] <StoneCypher> and i have to apt-get -f, which .... points out that 5.1 and 5.5 collide
[20:47] <StoneCypher> what do i do?

[21:08] <jrolland-ubuntu_> How can I find if a monitor is supported under natty?
[21:08] <nannes> A monitor?
[21:09] <nannes> Almost all monitors are "supported", cause they do, less or more, the same things in the same ways
[21:09] <StoneCypher> well
[21:09] <StoneCypher> unless it's a boardless monitor
[21:10] <StoneCypher> like those cheap korean monitors that have been flooding the market lately
[21:10] <nannes> You should worry about your graphic card, jrolland-ubuntu_
[21:10] <StoneCypher> then it comes down to your video card (which may mean it comes down to the driver)
[21:10] <StoneCypher> jrolland-ubuntu_: is it a major monitor or one of these cheapo off-brands
[21:10] <jrolland-ubuntu_> I see; the thing is, I want a monitor with a built-in webcam - how can I check that the webcam will work?
[21:11] <jrolland-ubuntu_> It's an Asus
[21:11] <StoneCypher> oh they're effectively two separate devices that share a case
[21:11] <StoneCypher> just find out what camera it is and look for support for that
[21:12] <jrolland-ubuntu_> Asus VK228H-CSM 21.5" LCD Monitor
[21:12] <gravi> I have a question about the most recent updates to Ubuntu
[21:12] <jrolland-ubuntu_> StoneCypher: OK, thanks
[21:13] <gravi> after installing them I see that it deleted my original profile all my files and all my settings, is there a way to recover this other than the standard backup?
[21:13] <AcidRain2012> someone please help me. this is a simple fix and i know that someone in here can do it. i run many personal services from my box that i use daily. and i cant even use them because my computer loses the connection and only trys for 1 minute or so to reconnect, then gives up. if my computer is unhooked from internet completely, i want it to try to connect as long as its turned on.
[21:13] <AcidRain2012> i want my computer to try for 1000 years to connect if there is no connection.
[21:13] <AcidRain2012> i dont want it to ever stop.
[21:13] <fnoyanisi> is there a way to see "show desktop" other than ctrl + super + D key combination?
[21:15] <bekks> The default TCP timeout is 300s - after that, a connection is dropped by default.
[21:16] <AcidRain2012> how do i change the default time to a billion seconds?
[21:16] <AcidRain2012> :/
[21:16] <BluesKaj> AcidRain2012:  describe your internet connection , if we have some details then perhaps we can help
[21:16] <bekks> AcidRain2012: Thats pointless using TCPIP.
[21:16] <bekks> AcidRain2012: It would introduce more problems than solving that single one :)
[21:17] <AcidRain2012> what info do you need?
[21:17] <StoneCypher> AcidRain2012: the other end is still at 300.
[21:17] <Sling> AcidRain2012: fix your connectivity issue instead
[21:17] <StoneCypher> AcidRain2012: you have to have control of both ends for that to even make sense, before you consider whether it's a good idea
[21:17] <AcidRain2012> its not the timeout issue. its the issue that it wont connect after the timeout
[21:17] <AcidRain2012> i have control of the router
[21:17] <AcidRain2012> its mine
[21:18] <AcidRain2012> some said it was a network traffic to heavy. but i disabled everything, and it will stsill only stay connected for about 6hrs before it drops and wont reconnect
[21:18] <AcidRain2012> if 6 hrs
[21:18] <BluesKaj> guess I joined in the middle of this discussion ..I'll back off
[21:19] <bekks> AcidRain2012: Then configure your router for reconnectinig to the internet or not dropping connection after a timeout.
[21:19] <bekks> It isnt a TCP problem really.
[21:19] <Sling> AcidRain2012: so your router has internet connectivity, but the connection between your pc and router gets disconnected?
[21:20] <AcidRain2012> Sling: thats correct
[21:20] <Sling> also, disconnected how, is the physical link down, or is it just rejecting/dropping packets
[21:20] <ubuuuhelp> Hello, I just recently installed Ubuntu 12.04, and I am currently having issues getting the time to show at the top right. Does anyone have any ideas?
[21:20] <AcidRain2012> too my knowledge, the router never loses connection. very rare, maybe 1 time in 3 months ill have to reset the router because it locked up
[21:20] <AcidRain2012> but to my knowledge, only my pc loses connection
[21:21] <bekks> AcidRain2012: And the box losing connection is connected using wireless?
[21:22] <AcidRain2012> bekks: correct. it is connected to the router through a bridge/switch, which is then connected to my desktop's ethernet connection
[21:23] <bekks> AcidRain2012: Using wireless?
[21:23] <AcidRain2012> but... let it be known, on my windows xp laptop, it will hold a connection for ever
[21:23] <ubuuuhelp> Hello, I just recently installed Ubuntu 12.04, and I am currently having issues getting the time to show at the top right. Does anyone have any ideas?
[21:23] <goddard> im using open box when when i start nautilus it also starts the gnome desktop
[21:23] <AcidRain2012> bekks: yes, i have a wireless bridge connecting to my ethernet port. so technically its wireless, but ubuntu sees it as wired
[21:23] <AcidRain2012> if that answers the question
[21:24] <bekks> AcidRain2012: And your XP is using the very same connection?
[21:24] <OerHeks>  ubuuuhelp we need more info on your issue.
[21:24] <AcidRain2012> bekks: correct.
[21:25] <bekks> AcidRain2012: did you check dmesg on that box after losing the connection?
[21:25] <AcidRain2012> auto lo || iface lo inet loopback
[21:25] <AcidRain2012> that is the contents of my interfaces file
[21:25] <AcidRain2012> where do i find the dmesg?

[21:31] <trism> ubuuuhelp: do you have indicator-datetime installed?
[21:31] <lou_> the file shows up in the file transfer screen as connected
[21:31] <lou_> but, it never starts downloading. Any ideas?
[21:32] <bekks> AcidRain2012: Is that device an USB wireless adapter?
[21:32] <ubuuuhelp> trism: I have "Simple Clock" installed 1 of the two in download center.
[21:32] <AcidRain2012> bekks: it is not connected through a usb port at all. its just a way to bridge a wireless connection to ethernet port
[21:33] <trism> ubuuuhelp: in a terminal: sudo apt-get install indicator-datetime;
[21:33] <bekks> AcidRain2012: Which can be done by using USB ethernet controller too :)
[21:34] <ubuuuhelp> trism: Just installed; 0 upgraded 0 newly installed 0 remove and 0 not upgraded.
[21:34] <Quaker> Well, the PCI adapter works.
[21:34] <Quaker> Fuck Netgear.
[21:34] <IdleOne> !language | Quaker
[21:34] <trism> ubuuuhelp: do you see the clock on the login screen?
[21:34] <ubuuuhelp> umm
[21:34] <ubuuuhelp> i'd have to check.. 1 second..
[21:35] <khparking> does anyone have a full list of dl mirrors for Ubuntu 12.04 LT Server for x32 comps
[21:35] <Quaker> Apologies for being vulger. Having to compile ndiswrapper from source to connect via a 50$ adapter you bought isn't exactly nerve-quelling, to say the least.
[21:35] <AcidRain2012> bekks: yea it does have that option. so i guess your right. i couldnt get it to work with usb ethernet controller. so i had to use a wire
[21:36] <khparking> does anyone have a full list of dl mirrors for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server for x32 comps?
[21:36] <AcidRain2012> i have wrote a bash script that will detect if internet connection is down or not, then it will attempt to reconnect. but.... for some reason when i reconnect it takes all my servers down and makes it so my services can only be accessed from the box itself
[21:37] <AcidRain2012> for some reason, the router fails to identify my box, when the mac address never changes when i use that script
[21:37] <AcidRain2012> i actually have to go back into the router, delete the entry, re create it. then configure my wired connection again
[21:37] <jason_hudson> Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with the swap partition not being mounted on ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit), the partition is in a LVM and the error I'm getting is "the partition can't be mounted press S to skip M to manually recover" is there anything I could do?
[21:38] <bekks> AcidRain2012: That sounds like a router problem then.
[21:38] <AcidRain2012> when i use: ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:38] <lou_> i am trying to download a file with xchat; but, the download never starts
[21:38] <saustin> How do I tell what driver is currently driving my video card?
[21:38] <lou_> the file shows up in the file transfer screen as connected
[21:38] <AcidRain2012> bekks: i honestly do believe it is a router problem, but only when communicating with a linux box. i guess my main question is: how can i connect to router, without changing anything?
[21:38] <lou_> but, it never starts downloading. Any ideas?
[21:39] <AcidRain2012> simply doing ifconfig eth0 up doesnt work
[21:39] <amanjosan2008> Hi.. Any software in ubuntu to track changes to my filesystem...  which reports new files created or deleted???
[21:40] <AcidRain2012> bekks: what type of router do you got?
[21:40] <AcidRain2012> bekks: times are tough, and i dont have the money. so ill have to rob dope man and sell his drugs to go buy me a new router
[21:40] <iceroot> amanjosan2008: watch, inotify
[21:40] <AcidRain2012> :(
[21:40] <amanjosan2008> iceroot: let me chk..
[21:41] <rhizmoe> ugh, every window has a different kind of scrollbar
[21:41] <AcidRain2012> bekks: actually, when i do ifconfig eth0 down. it works. when i do ifconfig eth0 up. it changes my ip to <IP_ADDRESS>, instead of ....105
[21:41] <ubuutuhelp> trism: Well, it works when i logged out, however when I just logged out computer crashed. I can't log into ubuntu now, only Gnome. When logging into ubuntu no to panel or side menus popup.
[21:42] <BluesKaj> jason_hudson:  open /etc/fstab and make sure the swap dump and pass entries are 0 and 0
[21:42] <bekks> AcidRain2012: Well, then manually set the 104 then again - in your script?
[21:43] <jason_hudson> BluesKaj, /dev/mapper/lol-ps none            swap    sw              0       0   /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0     these seem normal to me aren't they?
[21:43] <trism> ubuutuhelp: strange, may try running: unity --reset; from the gnome classic (no effects) session
[21:43] <AcidRain2012> bekks: but i need it to be 105
[21:43] <trism> ubuutuhelp: or ubuntu 2d if you can get into that
[21:43] <AcidRain2012> even if i set 105, it still does 104 :/
[21:43] <BluesKaj> jason_hudson:  yes they do look normal
[21:43] <AcidRain2012> unless i manually hit the "connect" button
[21:44] <jason_hudson> BluesKaj, what else could it be then? I'm totally clueless I guess I did nothing wrong during the LVM setup
[21:44] <banyantree> hey guys!
[21:45] <ubuutuhelp> trism: k just running got a warning while running..
[21:45] <AcidRain2012> ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> broadcast <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:45] <ubuutuhelp> trism: unhandled configurenotify on 0xc0009f
[21:45] <AcidRain2012> im about to do this, illl ifconfig eth0 down, then up with that command
[21:45] <ubuutuhelp> trism: stalled at setting update "run_key"
[21:45] <AcidRain2012> and it will make everything only accessible from my box
[21:45] <BluesKaj> jason_hudson:  I have no expereince with LVM , so I'm clueless in that area
[21:46] <AcidRain2012> its like it makes all my services local only
[21:46] <trism> ubuutuhelp: don't really worry about the warnings, you'll need to log out and then try the ubuntu session again afterwards
[21:46] <ubuutuhelp> trism: k.... is it normal to take awhile to run? appears to have stalled
[21:46] <jason_hudson> BluesKaj, thanks for your help so far
[21:46] <solid_liq> does anyone know how to setup CUPS and Samba to automatically authenticate for printing to a network printer that's controlled and spooled by a windows domain server?
[21:46] <banyantree> we need a web-/fileserver (only intranet)
[21:47] <trism> ubuutuhelp: yeah it will do that if you didn't run it with &, just log out once it finishes resetting the settings
[21:47] <Dr_willis> banyantree,  samba and apache ;)
[21:47] <xangua> is there a recomended bluetooth adapted for ubuntu or i can use any¿ just bought a wireless headphones and i would like it to use with my pc wich is a little old
[21:47] <jason_hudson> Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with the swap partition not being mounted on ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit), the partition is in a LVM and the error I'm getting is "the partition can't be mounted press S to skip M to manually recover" is there anything I could do?
[21:48] <_Marcus> When trying to install GCJ with apt, I came across this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1116379/ What is the problem?
[21:48] <Dr_willis> xangua,  i tend to check out amazon  and their comments for products to see if anyone says 'works with linux' or 'dont work with linux' ;)  but the 2 BT dongles ive had.. both worked with linux.
[21:48] <banyantree> Dr_willis: where can i get information about maintenance and so on?
[21:49] <greenit> hi, does any1 have eclipse? i have a problem with eclipse on ubuntu
[21:49] <Dr_willis> banyantree,  theres entire books written about samba and hosting http servers.
[21:49] <BlueEagle> jason_hudson: Well you would need to mount it after the LVM is established. Seems to me that your initrd may not correctly set it up so when the fstab is read the lvm is still undefined. That's just my 2 cents as I've never set up an LVM.
[21:49] <banyantree> do i have to mind something?
[21:49] <Dr_willis> banyantree,  whats your general linux knowledge level?
[21:49] <_Marcus> !ask | greenit
[21:49] <AcidRain2012> .
[21:49] <jeffrey> god i love ubuntu
[21:49] <jeffrey> just wish unity wasnt so ugly
[21:49] <Dr_willis> !info samba-doc | banyantree
[21:49] <Dr_willis> i dont find unity ugly at all....
[21:49] <banyantree> Dr_willis: from 1 to 10(best) maybe 2 or 3
[21:50] <jeffrey> Dr_willis, i should say ugly, its not the best looking though
[21:50] <Dr_willis> banyantree,  also the details of what you are doing will dictate what you need to do.
[21:50] <jeffrey> souldnt*
[21:50] <_Marcus> jeffrey: Remove Unity then.
[21:50] <jeffrey> i tried gnome, but didnt like the 2 panel bar setup
[21:50] <jeffrey> i love the search feature in unity
[21:50] <Dr_willis> Good Looking is relative...  I dont see the point in the constant re-doing of icon themes and widgits...
[21:51] <jason_hudson> BlueEagle, this never happened before though :\ and I did nothing different from last time's procedure
[21:51] <livingdaylight> I'm looking at openjdk in synaptic but not sure which version to grab. There is jre headless and not headless . what is headless?
[21:51] <greenit> when i use eclipse and it suggests code, the suggestion-window plopps up, but the selected suggestion is unreadable because it has a white text-color on a very bright, almost white background... can any1 plz tell me where to change exactly this color? i tried some colors in the preferences-window, but it didn't change anything, only the background of the other, not selected suggestions :(
[21:51] <Dr_willis> Icons and widgits should be very 'clear and obvious'  things like the 3 circles that then change to close/min/max when you mouse oiver them is just.. well..  bad design :P
[21:52] <ubuuutuhelp> trims: well appears to still be stalled... and i was just scrolling up and saw alot of fails. i copied to pastebin...
[21:52] <ubuuutuhelp> trism: http://pastebin.com/FwipJf4c
[21:53] <amanjosan2008> iceroot: Any other tool for monitoring..  inotify seems to need programing knowledge...
[21:53] <banyantree> Dr_willis: at the moment just private, but maybe later also in my office (when i know how to do everything i need)
[21:53] <jeffrey> amanjosan2008, what are you trying to monitor?
[21:53] <SockPants> hi all
[21:54] <SockPants> i need some help
[21:54] <bekks> SockPants: Then just ask please.
[21:54] <BlueEagle> jason_hudson: If all things are the same then the results would be the same as well. Last time was also with 12.04?
[21:54] <trism> ubuuutuhelp: did you mess with your graphics drivers recently?
[21:54] <greenit> oh, and another question: is there a way to convert the eclipse-menu to a global-menu? i like the hud and want to use it there too :)
[21:54] <banyantree> Dr_willis: can you recomment a page or a book?
[21:54] <amanjosan2008> I want to track my home & data partition...  just want to track new files created or deleted by users such as mp3, etc
[21:55] <Dr_willis> banyantree,  given the vague general details youve given try the following...
[21:55] <ubuuutuhelp> trism: nope only been installing & removing clock indicator trying to get clock to work in ubuntu 12.04
[21:55] <Dr_willis> !manual | banyantree
[21:55] <richtroye> Hi, trying to update ubuntu 12-4, supposedly long-term support, fails on this url:
[21:55] <richtroye> http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/foomatic-filters/foomatic-filters_4.0.16-0ubuntu0.1_i386.deb
[21:55] <bekks> richtroye: Then just try another mirror.
[21:55] <richtroye> The site *does* have *ubuntu-.2* but does *not* have *ubuntu-.1*
[21:56] <SockPants> bekks: yup, coming up, sorry. I copied a windows 7 ntfs partition from one drive to the next using gparted, and it was succesful, however it won't boot. First it stuck with a blinking cursor, so I used gparted to set the 'boot' flag. Now it says 'bootmgr is missing'. Is there a way to fix this problem using my ubuntu live usb drive? my pc doesn't have an optical drive so windows recovery is difficult.
[21:56] <richtroye> bekks thanks, how do I do that?
[21:56] <ubuuutuhelp> trism: After i installed the second "Simple Clock" i tried to logged out and i got a crash saying some anarchism thing or whatever, i hit reboot button, and now wont let me do anything when logging into ubuntu, just a blank desktop.
[21:57] <amanjosan2008> jeffrey: I want to track my home & data partition...  just want to track new files created or deleted by users such as mp3, etc
[21:57] <bekks> ri	You can do that in synaptic, e.g.
[21:57] <trism> ubuuutuhelp: sorry, I don't really have any other ideas, does gnome shell run?
[21:57] <bekks> richtroye: You can do that in synaptic, e.g.
[21:57] <richtroye> oh ok i'll bring up synaptic and try updating from there
[21:57] <adee> SockPants: install the windows bootloader - from a windows installer
[21:58] <ubuuutuhelp> trism: Yeah, gnome works just now i cant use Ubuntu 3d or 2d. :(
[21:58] <jason_hudson> BlueEagle, yes, sorry for the delayed reply, didn't see the popup lol
[21:58] <SockPants> adee: do i need to? is there an alternative?
[21:59] <banyantree> thx Dr_willis & ubottu
[21:59] <amanjosan2008> jeffrey: Any other tool or package...
[21:59] <ubuuutuhelp> trism: Also, its just hanging on setting update run_key
[21:59] <richtroye> bekks I guess I need to install synaptic, it apparently doesn't come with the default distro
[21:59] <jeffrey> amanjosan2008, no clue,sorry
[22:00] <adee> SockPants: to my best knowledge linux bootloaders are just chainloading the windows bootloader, so you kinda need it too
[22:00] <amanjosan2008> jeffrey:  Thnx alot.....
[22:00] <bekks> richtroye: Yes, but thats not a big deal :)
[22:00] <richtroye> installing now ...
[22:01] <MadMike> After upgrading to 12.04 I've got problems with cups... anyone interested?
[22:02] <SockPants> adee: is there a way that i can copy it from the old drive without copying the entire drive
[22:02] <ubuuutuhelp> Can someone help me, I can't log into Ubuntu, just gives me a blank desktop. Gnome runs fine. Any ideas???
[22:02] <MadMike> $ apt-get install --reinstall cups
[22:02] <MadMike> dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von cups (--configure): Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 1 zurück
[22:02] <sysop2> i ran out of space during a kernel upgrade and now even after rebooting I cant get apt-get to do anything it says I need to run dpkg --configure -a but that never finsihes, I let it sit over night and it never finishes.
[22:04] <sysop2> P: Updating /boot/extlinux/linux.cfg...
[22:04] <sysop2>   No volume groups found
[22:04] <sysop2> nothing past that
[22:04] <Dr_willis> sysop2,  you are on lvm or some other fancy ha4rd drive setup?
[22:04] <sysop2> nope
[22:04] <MadMike> ubuuutuhelp, what do you mean by "blank desktop"? What do you see?
[22:05] <brikase> hi
[22:05] <sysop2> Dr_willis, nothing but ext3
[22:05] <adee> SockPants: not that i know of the top of my head. google might help you
[22:05] <brikase> Is it new: http://www.whatsphere.com/whatsphere5/ ??
[22:05] <ubuuutuhelp> MadMike: When I try to log into Ubuntu, no top panel or launch menu appears. Just a blank desktop. I can right-click the desktop and logout via alt+control+delete but thats it.
[22:06] <MadMike> So you can see the login-screen before but you can't see anything after you typed the password?
[22:06] <Dr_willis> ubuuutuhelp,  as a test, try making a new user via the console and see if that user can login correctly.
[22:06] <reuf> is there some tool for ubuntu for mass youtube video downloading?
[22:06] <ubuuutuhelp> Madmike: Correct
[22:07] <ubuuutuhelp> Dr_willis: Sounds good brb.
[22:07] <Dr_willis> ubuuutuhelp,  i also seem to recall similer problem people mention  and it has to do with the .Xauthority file
[22:07] <adee> SockPants: also, win7 creates a little partition for system stuff. did you cloned that too?
[22:08] <glitsj16> amanjosan2008: in linux you can track file creation with inotifywait (from the inotify-tools package) .. pretty easy once you get familiar with syntax and logic .. http://linuxaria.com/article/introduction-inotify?lang=en is just a quick intro, lots more on websearch i guess
[22:09] <SockPants> adee: i didn't, i'm now trying to boot that off the old disk over usb to see if i can use it to repair the new disk.
[22:10] <richtroye> bekks synaptic apparently doesn't have a way to specify mirrors.  Would you mind having a look yourself for that particular url I specified, to see if you can find it on any mirror?  I did a synaptic update and got the same problem.
[22:10] <adee> SockPants: without that little partition, i doubt that is going to work ever........
[22:10] <MadMike> adee, I've heard you will only need that 100 MByte parition if you have a encrypten Windows parition.
[22:11] <SockPants> adee: it's a recovery partition...
[22:11] <ubuuutuhelp> Well doesnt appear to be my login account, i created another and tried to log in and same results.
[22:11] <MadMike> has anyone experince with cups refusing to install itself? I can't seem to --force to install itself
[22:11] <bekks> richtroye: For sure it does.
[22:11] <syphilitic> does anyone want to see a picture of my asshole?
[22:11] <compdoc> if I want to have a headless server send all root emails to a local email server, is postfix the good choice? setting up postfix for tls seems impossible for me
[22:11] <jason_hudson> Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with the swap partition not being mounted on ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit), the partition is in a LVM and the error I'm getting is "the partition can't be mounted press S to skip M to manually recover" is there anything I could do?
[22:12] <richtroye> bekks that's good to know.  Is it a gui thing (and if so, what dropdown menu?) or do I need to give some option to a command-line invocation?
