[00:00] <dr3mro> ActionParsnip, I am a unity Pro !
[00:00] <tonsofpcs> what is gauke?
[00:00] <Browser> werder: yes
[00:00] <dr_willis> !info guake
[00:00] <reisio> tonsofpcs: it's a terminal that hides off screen until you tell it to show up
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> tonsofpcs: did you ever play half life, counterstrike or quake?
[00:00] <reisio> that is: it's a terminal with predefined shortcuts to appear and disappear
[00:00] <dr3mro> will wayland composite support replace compiz !!
[00:00] <tonsofpcs> ah, so it's ` ;)
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> tonsofpcs: exactly
[00:01] <tonsofpcs> [that's a yes, ActionParsnip]
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> tonsofpcs: there is a lighter guake-like app called tilde too :)
[00:01] <tonsofpcs> dr3mro: I still want e17 to replace compiz...
[00:01] <Browser> ActionParsnip: no, it is strange in the before Ubuntu's version i hadn't problems
[00:01] <tonsofpcs> but ~ is tilde, wouldn't tilde be the 'high brow' version of grave?
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> tonsofpcs: its great, run a command then hide the terminal, you can check progress by bringing it back down :)
[00:02] <dr_willis> f12 may be geting grabbed by the desktop
[00:02] <tonsofpcs> ActionParsnip: so it's like screen for my gui screen? :)
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> tonsofpcs: its just a drop down terminal, dead handy
[00:02] <ipproblem> ActionParsnip: I fixed the problem... I resolved the IP for us.archive.ubuntu.com and then wrote it into /etc/hosts
[00:02] <dr3mro> tonsofpcs, I think all composite  managers will die for wayland as it will be a part of it as a plugin !! i read something like that
[00:02] <Browser> Well, i am going to restart again..
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> ipproblem: nice
[00:03] <tonsofpcs> dr3mro: have you ever used enlightenment?
[00:03] <Browser> Bye, thanks.
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> Browser: make sure you link /usr/share/applications/guake.desktop in ~/.config/autostart
[00:03] <dr3mro> tonsofpcs, No!
[00:03] <Browser> ok
[00:03] <trism> gkatsev: looks like it needs a bit of updating for 12.04, but otherwise it looks accurate. if you have to download the packages, in addition to the packages listed you will also need: dkms, the linux-headers packages for your kernel version and the ndiswrapper-dkms package
[00:03] <trism> gkatsev: I think everything else should be installed by default
[00:03] <tonsofpcs> dr3mro: i highly recommend it
[00:03] <tonsofpcs> when I used linux for 'desktop' work, it was amazing.
[00:03] <dr3mro> when will 3.4 kernel hit ubuntu precise repos!!
[00:04] <Browser> ActionParsnip: yes, there is a link
[00:04] <tonsofpcs> (I now don't do 'desktop' work outside of work so it's not really useful)
[00:04] <dr3mro> tonsofpcs, but I use unity and it needs compiz!
[00:04] <CoJaBo> Er. Why does it show up in the boot menu as "Ubuntu, with Linux"? lol
[00:04] <robertzaccour> how do I enable the codecs for kdenlive?
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: it won't, it's a Quantal kernel
[00:04] <tonsofpcs> but e17 > unity.
[00:04] <tonsofpcs> (I know, I'm a heathen for saying that here)
[00:04] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: there are 3rd party sources for the kernel but it won't be suppored here
[00:05] <dr_willis> e17.. has issues.
[00:05] <werder> dr3mro: 3.4 won't be coming to 12.04
[00:05] <gkatsev> trism: do I need the linux-headers if I'm just installing from apt-get?
[00:05] <myhero> how to save the full irssi log of the current session ?
[00:05] <KRomo> 3.4 kernel wont work with nvidia driver, beware
[00:05] <tonsofpcs> dr_willis: it does? is e16 the stable one then?  I always get the two confused...
[00:05] <myhero> how to save the full irssi log of the current session ?
[00:05] <dr_willis> tonsofpcs:  both have really quirky... quirks.
[00:06] <tonsofpcs> myhero: I think it only logs from the point you set logging on ...
[00:06] <dr3mro> ActionParsnip, I did install it by back porting it from quantal to my personal PPA on launchpad !! but wouldn't it be nice if it's available in the repos as an option!!!
[00:06] <KRomo> how do i check for drive errors in ubuntu?
[00:06] <harushimo> can someone write that symbolic link code for virtual box
[00:06] <myhero> tonsofpc: means....
[00:06] <tonsofpcs> dr_willis: like?
[00:06] <trism> gkatsev: yes because ndiswrapper-dkms has to build the ndiswrapper kernel module for your kernel (in previous ubuntu versions it was included in the linux-image package, but dropped in 12.04 unfortunately)
[00:06] <tonsofpcs> myhero: 'no'
[00:06] <Browser> ActionParsnip: i am going to restart again..
[00:06] <werder> dr3mro: I've heard lots of problems with 3.4
[00:06] <dr3mro> ActionParsnip, even when Quantal is released!!
[00:06] <harushimo> I created an icon. I want to do that
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: its not a Precise kernel, it will be in Quantal
[00:06] <gkatsev> trism: ah, ok. Maybe that's why it didn't actually connect.
[00:07] <myhero> tonsofpf: any way to save irssi log ?
[00:07] <dr3mro> werder, for me it has better over all performance and  less heat from the FAN !!
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> dr3mro: quantal is 12.10 so will be released in the 10th month of 2012
[00:07] <dr_willis> on my phone  cant type a lot. go try them
[00:07] <reisio> if it's released on time
[00:07] <reisio> which is likely
[00:07] <werder> dr3mro: sweet, maybe I'll give it a try then
[00:07] <bizukifu> Hi
[00:07] <reisio> and you can get betas before then
[00:07] <dr3mro> ActionParsnip, I know !! but why not back port it and give the user an option !
[00:07] <con-man> name a good php server program I can stall to test websites locally
[00:07] <con-man> *install
[00:07] <gkatsev> trism: hm... nope, seems like I already had them installed
[00:08] <robertzaccour> How do I enable all kdenlive codecs?
[00:08] <reisio> con-man: apache, nginx, php, etc.
[00:08] <harushimo> ln -s /usr/bin/virtualbox ~/Desktop/Virtual.desktop
[00:08] <reisio> bizukifu: hi
[00:08] <werder> dr3mro: the Canonical team is pretty small for the size of the base. They only have so many people.
[00:08] <harushimo> is this the correct command?
[00:08] <con-man> reisio, oh apache has native php support? w00t.
[00:08] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: you want to link the desktop file in /usr/share/applications
[00:08] <harushimo> it should
[00:08] <trism> gkatsev: had what installed?
[00:09] <gkatsev> trism: the linux-headers
[00:09] <dr3mro> werder, it's only autobuild the kernel for both versions >>> all building is in launchpad by some clicks
[00:09] <dabor> myhero, /LASTLOG -file ~/irc.log
[00:09] <piper69_> hello i am trying to add mediabuntu to my rep. but it keeps failling "sudo -E wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update"
[00:09] <harushimo> ln -s /usr/bin/virtualbox /usr/share/applications/Virtual.desktop
[00:09] <harushimo> like that?
[00:09] <piper69_> can someone please help me
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: no
[00:10] <dr_willis> harushimo:  a. desktop file is not a binary executable
[00:10] <dr3mro> piper69_, !?
[00:10] <werder> dr3mro: right but remember 12.04 is their new business release and they don't want people coming to them with problems they can't support
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: ln -s /usr/share/applications/virtualbox.desktop ~/Desktop/VirtualBox.desktop
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: use TAB to complete the names
[00:10] <CoJaBo> Loll.. Wifi still doesn't work "out of the box" -_-'
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: it's:  ln -s source dest
[00:10] <harushimo> got it
[00:10] <piper69_> dr3mro: i am trying to add w32codec for vlc to play wmv files
[00:10] <harushimo> right
[00:11] <dr_willis> CoJaBo:  did for me
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> CoJaBo: depends on the chip...ALL my wifis work out of the box
[00:11] <CoJaBo> dr_willis: Huh; well it says the driver is installed and in use, but no wifi card appears.
[00:11] <dr3mro> werder, but in 2 years new hardware will emerge and busness users need new kernel as will as kernel installing is pretty safe as it never over write the old kern
[00:11] <harushimo> virtual box source destination for me is /usr/bin/virtualbox
[00:11] <piper69_> i have wasted 1hr trying to get this thing to work instead of studying
[00:11] <piper69_> please help
[00:11] <harushimo> why wouldn't you use this
[00:11] <reisio> piper69_: okay
[00:12] <harushimo> after this, I'm done
[00:12] <harushimo> thank you
[00:12] <werder> dr3mro: remember lots of businesses haven't upgraded from XP yet. Change is bad and I don't think Ubuntu hardware requirements will be drastically different 2 years from now.
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: thats the binary, not the desktop file which will give a decent icon
[00:12] <piper69_> resisio i tried smplayer,mplayer, vlc and all are not playing the wmv
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> harushimo: you can use the binary if you want but it won't look too great and may get lost in the rest
[00:13] <rhorstkoetter> hi. does anyone have issues with nouveau video drivers while booting up the system? I get "video frequency too high (german translation)" while booting up and everything switches back to normal once lightdm is reached. using ubuntu 12.04
[00:13] <dr3mro> werder, but new k
[00:13] <reisio> piper69_: does 'rei' and then hitting TAB not work in chatzilla?
[00:13] <dr3mro> werder, but newer kern means more hardware support !!
[00:13] <harushimo> whenever creating icons on 10.04, I was using the binaries
[00:13] <harushimo> interesting
[00:13] <harushimo> thank you
[00:13] <piper69_> reisio: opps , sorry i am just frustrated
[00:13] <rhorstkoetter> or even better, a solution. dmesg doesn't provide any error messages
[00:13] <harushimo> take care everyone
[00:13] <reisio> piper69_: just checking
[00:13] <reisio> piper69_: how big is the file?
[00:14] <mikeconcepts> something new, opened Places from the Unity launch bar and the Places icon started a rocking animation, won't do it again, wonder what happened
[00:14] <werder> dr3mro: yes but many kernel upgrade break things for people and businesses want an LTS to be stable.
[00:14] <CoJaBo> K, so where to start getting wifi to work? :/
[00:14] <neso> hi guys
[00:14] <robertzaccour> How do I enable all kdenlive codecs?
[00:14] <piper69_> reisio: there is alot of them , 13-15Mb
[00:14] <browser> ActionParsnip: doesn't work the guake
[00:14] <neso> today i install ubuntu 12.04 and dont detect my 3g usb modem
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> CoJaBo: what wifi chip do you use?
[00:15] <piper69_> sorry i should say MB megabytes and not bits
[00:15] <browser> i have restarted and nothing
[00:15] <CoJaBo> ActionParsnip: Broadcom somthing..
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> browser: use startup apps and remove the one in there, then make the link yourself
[00:15] <mikeconcepts> I see now, if it opens behind another window it rocks
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | CoJaBo
[00:15] <reisio> piper69_: if you can upload one somewhere I can take a look at it, determine what you need
[00:15] <neso> i have Alcatel one touch X200D usb modem pls help thanks

[00:16] <reisio> piper69_: right
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> CoJaBo: read ubottus' link :)
[00:16] <neso> guys?
[00:16] <CoJaBo> Waiting for firefox to load..
[00:16] <piper69_> reisio: "No suitable decoder module:
[00:17] <piper69_> VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this." this is what i get when i try to pllay them
[00:17] <piper69_> reisio: i am on 10.10
[00:17] <CoJaBo> piper69_: Tried mplayer?
[00:17] <CoJaBo> It supports more of the really obscure codecs
[00:17] <roasted> Question - did I goof this up? I ran "sudo usermod -G motion jason". Did I successfully add the user jason to the group motion?
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: Maverick is no longer supported
[00:18] <piper69_> CoJaBo: yes and its not working
[00:18] <browser> ActionParsnip: startup apps?
[00:18] <reisio> piper69_: windows media video 9 is relatively new and not 100% supported, your best bet would be to use a live snapshot from mplayer trunk
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> browser: yes, search dash
[00:18] <reisio> or ffmpeg (and convert them)
[00:18] <quiescens> roasted: adduser is probably safer
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: I suggest you upgrade to a supported release, Maverick is now dead
[00:18] <piper69_> reisio: ?!
[00:18] <reisio> piper69_: alternatively, tell your instructor you're already paying for the class and don't need to be forced to use Windows on top of it
[00:19] <browser> ok
[00:19] <quiescens> roasted: as far as I am aware, you probably removed jason from all groups other than motion as well
[00:19] <roasted> quiescens, dangit. Now I'm getting that jason isn't part of the sudoers file.  I did this over SSH too...
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> roasted: sudo usermod -a -G motion jason
[00:19] <piper69_> ActionParsnip: i don't like the new GUI
[00:19] <KRomo> today, it took a really long time for ubuntu to boot...why?
[00:19] <escott> roasted, you have been on here enough to know never to use usermod -G without -a
[00:19] <KRomo> sat on purple screen
[00:19] <roasted> escott, no kidding.
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> roasted: you are adding the user to a supplementary group, your command wil make the user in ONLY the motion group
[00:19] <escott> KRomo, probably checking the filesystem
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: you don't have to use it
[00:20] <gvo> KRomo: probably fscking the disk
[00:20] <KRomo> oh ok
[00:20] <reisio> piper69_: http://www.andrews-corner.org/mplayer.html
[00:20] <KRomo> why would it do that?
[00:20] <roasted> escott, I wasn't thinking. Sitting out here on the deck with the puppy, he ran off just as I was typing the command... came back and facepalmed.
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: what GPU do you use?
[00:20] <quiescens> roasted: i typically use: adduser (user) (group)
[00:20] <gvo> KRomo: cause it doest it periodically
[00:20] <gvo> does
[00:20] <roasted> quiescens, even if the user already exists?
[00:20] <quiescens> roasted: just so that forgetting an option doesn't go and obliterate their groups
[00:20] <neso> guys ?pls help me,cant connect to internet (im using old HDD 12Gb now >win xp) wanna be on ubuntu pls help
[00:20] <gvo> KRomo: Just to be sure all is well.
[00:20] <quiescens> roasted: yeah
[00:20] <KRomo> nvidia gtx 460
[00:20] <piper69_> easy to just wipe ubuntu and install windows i guess
[00:21] <escott> KRomo, it will do so automatically every 20 reboots or so. it should be fairly quick with ext4 unless your disk is really large
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: doesn't make maverick supported, you need to upgrade to at least Natty, which is EOL in October
[00:21] <piper69_> bummer
[00:21] <neso> piper
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: could install XFCE and use that, its very similar to Gnome 2
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: Gnome is not the only desktlop
[00:21] <KRomo> ok cool, it wasnt super long just longer than usual its a 90gb ssd sata 3 so it is not big and not slow
[00:21] <neso> i install ubuntu 12.04 ,and ubuntu dont detect my 3G usb mode :(
[00:22] <escott> KRomo, you can hit the up arrow and see what it is doing but you probably got concerned when your 3 second boot became 6 seconds :)
[00:22] <reisio> piper69_: or... go to a computer lab and convert them
[00:22] <KRomo> im so happy with ubuntu, my computer isnt obsolete by any means but i built it in 2007
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: you could even install KDE and use that
[00:22] <reisio> piper69_: or, as already mentioned, tell your instructor you shouldn't be charged an additional $200 just to watch some videos for his class
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: or LXDE..
[00:23] <KRomo> and its running great
[00:23] <piper69_> ActionParsnip: i will give that a try, do i just upgrade from synaptic
[00:23] <roasted> quiescens, now, remind me... if I boot up to root recovery shell... I can get jason back in sudoers. no? sudo usermod -a -G ...... jason....
[00:23] <KRomo> 5 year old computer running pretty well
[00:23] <roasted> quiescens, would I have to edit sudoers or is there a group I can plug in?
[00:23] <Jordan_U> !eolupgrade | piper69_
[00:23] <reisio> piper69_: and if you upload one of the files I can tell you whether svn mplayer supports it or not
[00:23] <emmanuel_> hola
[00:23] <Jordan_U> !eol | piper69_
[00:23] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: could do, I'd just clean install with Precise then install gnome-panel :)
[00:23] <reisio> I could even convert them for you if there aren't too many
[00:24] <quiescens> roasted: the group you need is probably admin
[00:24] <quiescens> roasted: adm, sorry
[00:24] <roasted> quiescens, k... time to bust out a monitor and hook it up to the box.
[00:24] <roasted> oh? adm?
[00:24] <neso> anyone lol
[00:24] <reisio> neso: yes roflbeans?
[00:24] <quiescens> roasted: oh wait, no, admin
[00:24] <quiescens> strange
[00:24] <roasted> haha, yeah admin sounds familiar
[00:24] <reisio> neso: what's the modem make/model?
[00:24] <roasted> appreciate it quiescens
[00:24] <quiescens> roasted: admin or sudo
[00:24] <quiescens> both should work
[00:24] <neso> alcatel one touch x200d
[00:24] <quiescens> by default
[00:24] <roasted> admin rings a bell
[00:25] <reisio> neso: usb?
[00:25] <quiescens> roasted: to be sure, have a quick read of /etc/sudoers
[00:25] <neso> yes
[00:25] <roasted> admin is at least listed in the gui and references to having sudo rights
[00:25] <reisio> neso: what does lsusb say about it?
[00:25] <piper69_> ohhh shooot that means i will loose all my class notes and ather files
[00:25] <neso> sec
[00:25] <roasted> quiescens, I even thought I set up a 2nd admin account on this box too. clearly I failed there as well. I normally have a 2nd admin account for backup purposes...
[00:25] <piper69_> i will be dead if anything happen to this laptop
[00:25] <roasted> quiescens, at any rate, brb. time to giv eit a go
[00:26] <dr_willis> backups... use them. :)
[00:26] <piper69_> easy way to backup my tomboy notes to my usb
[00:26] <KRomo> what command will let me test my hd speed?
[00:26] <KRomo> read/write
[00:27] <BobFromAccountin> hello
[00:27] <dr_willis> tomboy has export features i tecall
[00:27] <reisio> hi
[00:27] <reisio> neso: yeah?
[00:27] <escott> KRomo, hdparm can do some tests, but it doesnt test filesystem throughput for those you want something like bonnie++

[00:31] <vexaxv> CoJaBo, when creating an encrypted file container say its named "library.vol" you can delete that infact anyone can, but thats the file to open so you can enter your password and get to your stuff, how do you set it to where it cant be deleted (kinda need it not to be being its MY only way in lol)
[00:32] <CoJaBo> vexaxv: Change the permissions of the folder its saved in so only your account has access.
[00:32] <BobFromAccountin> ubuntu 10.04 class)
[00:32] <vexaxv> CoJaBo, thanks
[00:32] <escott> vexaxv, you should make copies of that file and put it in a safe place

[00:36] <ccmonster> Hey, just wnet to update, and I got a strange unrecoverable dpkg error.
[00:36] <piper69_> ActionParsnip: which one should i upgrade to
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> ccmonster: can you please pastebin the text
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: I'd do a clean install of Precise from USB or CD, be sure you backup all you need
[00:36] <gvo> Shinobi: did you try #perl?
[00:37] <brian__> I'm geting this unable to access dpkg staus area :read only
[00:37] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I put my machine to sleep for 60s using rtcwake, and when it awoke, I wound up with a blank screen:  No mouse, no cursor, nothing.  I am able to ssh into the box, so I think it has something to do with the graphics.  Any suggestions for getting it to wake up fully?
[00:37] <brian__> this is totaly new to me
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> brian__: is the file system mounted read only?
[00:38] <brian__> No clue why it would be.
[00:38] <brian__> what's the CL check?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> brian__: if there are issues the default is to mount read only
[00:38] <brian__> hm.
[00:38] <roasted_> hi
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> brian__: mount     will show you how things are mounted
[00:38] <roasted_> quiescens: still out there?
[00:38] <quiescens> ?
[00:39] <roasted_> quiescens: saying admin group does not exist. sitting at a root recovery now. :(
[00:39] <quiescens> check /etc/groups?
[00:39] <quiescens> or /etc/sudoers
[00:39] <brian__> I just got awarnig: etc/mtab is not writable .
[00:39] <brian__> when i did mount
[00:39] <escott> roasted_, 12.04 uses sudo instead of admin
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> brian__: thats fine, its only a warning
[00:40] <roasted_> quiescens: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL exists in /etc/sudoers
[00:40] <roasted_> escott: sudo usermod -G sudo jason ???????
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> brian__: sounds like you didn't shutdown cleanly last time
[00:40] <brian__> also, my keyboard seems to not want to let me hit the same key twice very quickly. Any idea on that?
[00:40] <Zyclops1> hi
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> roasted_: -G -a   dude, again...
[00:40] <roasted_> ActionParsnip: sorry, -a isn't listed on any site I'm googling with. Keep forgetting...
[00:40] <quiescens> roasted_: yeah, try sudo group too, it should have both
[00:40] <escott> roasted_, yes. its the debian way and they evidently wanted to eliminate one cause for issues during conversion
[00:41] <quiescens> that's totally why i use adduser instead
[00:41] <quiescens> lol
[00:41] <dsnyders> brian__, The keyboard issue may be a handicap/accessibility setting.
[00:41] <roasted_> cannot lock /etc/passwd
[00:41] <roasted_> hm
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> roasted_: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[00:41] <piper69_> ActionParsnip: this is on hp laptop dv7
[00:41] <escott> roasted_, write to the webadmin to fix his website
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> piper69_: ok
[00:42] <Zyclops1> i'm trying to work out how to open an ssh connection to a local server.  I'm fairly novice at server administration stuff.   Locally i can ssh on port 22 to the server, but externally i can not.  On my router i have port 22 forwarded to the router.  I can ping the router. however when i ssh to it, it does not connect.  I've done /sudo/sbin/iptables —list-rules and it just says INPUT/FORWARD/OUTPUT are all set to acc
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> Zyclops1: is it a home grade router?
[00:42] <brian__> ok, this is strange. It wont let me click any check boxes in settings - as if it double clicks every time I click or something
[00:43] <Zyclops1> tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:22              <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN  << this is what netstat -an | grep "LISTEN" outputs
[00:43] <Zyclops1> ActionParsnip: yeah.. it's running DD-WRT
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> Zyclops1: tried a reboot?
[00:43] <escott> Zyclops1, On my router i have port 22 forwarded to the router <<< i assume you meant "computer"
[00:43] <Zyclops1> ah yeah sorry
[00:43] <Zyclops1> yep and it's forwarded to the correct internal IP address
[00:43] <roasted_> Would it be easier (even possible) to create a new administrator user, then add jason back to the admin group? Everything I'm trying on Google isn't working.
[00:44] <Zyclops1> ActionParsnip: nah i haven't.. of the router or the server? note i can ssh locally into the server
[00:44] <escott> Zyclops1, you can run ssh -vvvv and see if it says anything about the connection, but i would double check the router
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> roasted_: you could, just make new and add it to the admin group
[00:44] <quiescens> roasted_: did sudo group not work?
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> Zyclops1: the router
[00:44] <Zyclops1> escott: ok thanks
[00:44] <roasted_> quiescens: sudo usermod -a -G sudo jason...... no
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> Zyclops1: it may need to happen to get the WAN side sorted
[00:44] <Zyclops1> ActionParsnip: awesome i'll try that.. sorry co-workers :)
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> roasted_: thats right
[00:44] <Zyclops1> actually
[00:44] <Zyclops1> i can forward it to my local computer.. on port 80
[00:44] <roasted_> ActionParsnip: didn't work
[00:45] <roasted_> ActionParsnip: cannot lock /etc/passwd' try again later
[00:45] <Zyclops1> test that port forwarding is actually working at all
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> roasted_: is the file system read only?
[00:45] <roasted_> ActionParsnip: I have no idea. I'm in root recovery.
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> roasted_: run:  mount
[00:45] <KRomo> sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep -i speed
[00:46] <escott> roasted_, assuming it is "mount -o remount,rw /
[00:46] <KRomo> :)
[00:46] <roasted_> ActionParsnip: /dev/sda2 on / type ext4  (rw,erroprs=remount-ro)
[00:46] <KRomo> confirmed that sata 3 is working
[00:46] <escott> KRomo, i would take those hdparm results with a grain of salt it really just testing the bus
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Zyclops1: then edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and change the port it runs there :)
[00:46] <roasted_> escott: er, I think that worked?
[00:46] <KRomo> escott:i just want to be sure that my ssd is getting proper speed
[00:46] <escott> roasted_, thats mounted rw then. still getting the /etc/passwd error
[00:46] <roasted_> escott: no, it came back fine.
[00:46] <roasted_> escott: rebooting already.
[00:47] <escott> KRomo, i saw your message come though just as i hit enter :)
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: isn't -I just info?
[00:47] <quiescens> roasted_: probably delete /etc/passwd.lock
[00:47] <roasted_> escott: back in gui, works great.
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sda    will actualy test read/writes
[00:47] <roasted_> quiescens: even though it's working?
[00:48] <quiescens> roasted_: oh, no no, that was only if it continued to complain about being locked
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015697/
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: see the difference
[00:48] <Zyclops1> ActionParsnip: as a security measure?
[00:49] <Shinobi> Can anyone assist with: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015692/
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> Zyclops1: no, if you can forward to port 80, you may as well use it
[00:49] <roasted_> quiescens: nah, we're good then :)
[00:49] <roasted_> appreciate it guys... back to the laptop :)
[00:49] <MoleMan^Away> I have 2 laptops running Ubuntu 12.0.4 live CDs, and connected with a network cable, they will ping each other but neither shows up under 'network' in the file browser, and recomendations?
[00:49] <piper69_> exit
[00:49] <KRomo> ActionParsnip, thanks
[00:49] <reisio> oh that reminds me
[00:49] <reisio> Ubuntu install for the neighbors
[00:50] <quiescens> roasted_: you should be aware you are possibly missing other groups, depending on what else you do on the system
[00:50] <Kasplodey> Shinobi http://search.cpan.org/~mdxi/Curses-UI-0.9609/lib/Curses/UI.pm
[00:50] <escott> MoleMan^Away, why would they show up in "network" thats SAMBA which is a windows tool and only installed if you request it
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> MoleMan^Away: right click a folder in nautilus and you can share folders
[00:50] <dr_willis> MoleMan^Away:  insrall some service to share files. or ssh
[00:50] <escott> MoleMan^Away, if you want to do ubuntu->ubuntu file transfers the unix native ways are through NFS or SSH
[00:51] <KRomo> is there a better alternative to qwibber?
[00:51] <KRomo> i find gwibber very slow
[00:51] <quiescens> roasted_: things like lpadmin, plugdev, cdrom
[00:51] <MoleMan^Away> I installed 'File sharing' from the software center, the instuctions for that say that they should show up in the network section of the default file browser?
[00:51] <Shinobi> Kasplodey: I installed libcurses-ui-perl and libcurses-widgets-perl. Do you know why perl woudn't not be able to find the modules?
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/05/03/twitter-clients-for-ubuntu-linux/
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> MoleMan^Away: yes, you share folders easily using nautilus
[00:52] <KRomo> i want somthing to handle twitter and fb
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> MoleMan^Away: or install openssh-server and you will have an SFTP server
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> MoleMan^Away: weird nick with 'away' i it....
[00:53] <Kasplodey> Shinobi, not offhand. Let me do some searching. Not really familiar with that module.
[00:53] <Shinobi> thx
[00:53] <MoleMan^Away> ActionParsnip: yeah, didn't notice and change it back, now I keep getting "* 435 MoleMan #httpd Cannot change nickname while banned on channel"
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> MoleMan^Away: yes, addining 'away' to nicks is against channel policy. Just leave. You don't have to change nick. I've been AFK about 6 times in the last hour, changing nick spams the channel
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: could use unity-lens-gwibber
[00:55] <neso> !3g
[00:56] <MoleMan^Away> I only actually change it when I leave my PC, ie shutdown, I just leave my Quassel core connected...
[00:56] <ivorybishop> Q: Installed 12.04 from livecd onto 64bit intel cpu p4 system. only showing 3.2g ram in system monitor, followed directioning for enablingPAE and the PAE image gives a kernel panic. How can this be fixed? Kernel panic says something about no init found.
[00:56] <KRomo> gwibber is soooooo slow
[00:56] <KRomo> the scrolling is fucked
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> MoleMan^Away: fine, just don'tchange nick and you win :)
[00:56] <ivorybishop> System has 6g ram installed
[00:57] <escott> ivorybishop, why not just install 64bit
[00:57] <ivorybishop> I did install from 64bit livecd.
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> ivorybishop: are there bugs reported? +1 to escott's why not 64bit install...
[00:57] <dsnyders> Anyone know how to convince the desktop to wake up with the rest of the computer?
[00:57] <neso> ok guys im back in linux mint :( i like so much ubuntu but
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: what GPU do you use?
[00:57] <ivorybishop> bios shows 6g installed ram
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> neso: mint isn't supported here
[00:58] <escott> ivorybishop, if you installed from a 64bit livecd ou would have a 64bit kernel and pae would not be an option.
[00:58] <ivorybishop> but it installed a generic kernel
[00:58] <MoleMan^Away> ActionParsnip: I never used to, but various other people do, and I was working on the basis that it makes it a lot more obvious that being marked as idle...
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> !away | MoleMan^Away
[00:58] <escott> ivorybishop, pae is ONLY for 32bit kernels
[00:58] <ivorybishop> hmm
[00:58] <ivorybishop> how do i get this thing to recognize the full ram then?
[00:59] <ivorybishop> the bios sees it
[00:59] <ivorybishop> i am not a linux pro
[00:59] <Kasplodey> Shinobi I can't seem to find any reference to 0.pm in Curses::UI. What's calling this .pm?
[00:59] <escott> ivorybishop, install a 64bit kernel would be the best choice. get those extra registers and sse4 if ou hav eit
[00:59] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, I think it is an nVidia video gpu.  Any way to check for sure?
[00:59] <ivorybishop> but i am not a commandline newbie either
[00:59] <MoleMan^Away> ActionParsnip: yeah, okay :) you've said, I get the message :p I just don't get why it recons I'm banned in #httpd yet I am still in the channel and can speak  fine etc :/
[00:59] <ivorybishop> i installed from a 64bit livecd, shouldnt that install a 64bit kernel?
[01:00] <reisio> yup
[01:00] <escott> ivorybishop, what does uname -a say?
[01:00] <ivorybishop> one sec
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> MoleMan^Away: you could ask in #freenode

[01:01] <Shinobi> That's the only thing I can think of.
[01:01] <ivorybishop> 3261
[01:01] <Shinobi> use Curses; use Curses::UI; use Curses::Widget;
[01:01] <ivorybishop> there is 6g installed tho
[01:01] <ivorybishop> and bios supports it
[01:01] <Shinobi> Widget bombs

[01:01] <ivorybishop> i ma puzzled
[01:01] <CoJaBo> w000, i has wifiiiiiii
[01:02] <escott> ivorybishop, 3261 under total ram. that number doesnt make sense its not a nice multiple of 1024
[01:02] <ivorybishop> thats total
[01:02] <ivorybishop> used is 2554
[01:02] <Kasplodey> Shinobi, can you show me the section with the use statements so I can try them locally?
[01:03] <escott> ivorybishop, what about the first line of /proc/meminfo
[01:03] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, Thanks, I'll take a look.
[01:03] <ivorybishop> MemTotal:        3340100 kB
[01:03] <Kasplodey> shinobi i tried just use Curses::UI and it worked but I'm not sure what all you're calling.
[01:03] <OerHeks> ivorybishop, onboard vga that takes system memory ?
[01:04] <ivorybishop> it has an itegrated video but it should be disabled since i have an nvidia card installed
[01:04] <tomasm-> hi, is there a way to execute an arbitrary command, that will open a program for me? I use the Alt "tap" and it says "type your command", so I'd think whatever I type would execute as a shell command, (such as "xcalc" to open the calculator that is not in a menu), but it doesn't do it.... any idea how to get this to work? I need an easy access to programs by name, not just icons and not just having a full terminal open
[01:04] <ivorybishop> thats 512mb ram
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> tomasm-: use ALT+F2 instead
[01:04] <ivorybishop> the integrated reserves 1 or 8 meg, and i set it for 1 i think
[01:04] <Shinobi> Kasplodey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015707/
[01:05] <ivorybishop> there is no "none" option
[01:05] <neso> is there other way to install mp3 plugin in offline mode?
[01:05] <OerHeks> neso in mint?
[01:05] <escott> ivorybishop, how about dmidecode?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> neso: mint isn't supported here
[01:05] <tomasm-> ActionParsnip, how come that's not mentioned in the shortcuts screen?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> !mint
[01:06] <Kasplodey> shinobi - weird, same thing here.
[01:06] <neso> no on ubuntu
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> tomasm-: not sure dude, sorry
[01:06] <KRomo> i tried mint last week it was like a wiondowsxp clone
[01:06] <KRomo> it had likwe a start menu
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> neso: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc    please
[01:06] <ivorybishop> escott: what do you need from it? or should i pastebin it?
[01:06] <neso> ?
[01:06] <Shinobi> Kasplodey: Try this. create a new .pl and just put the use statements in there. Try them 1 at a time. Do widgets last.
[01:06] <Shinobi> Thx
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> neso: press CTRL+ALT+T and run the command, what is output please?
[01:07] <tomasm-> ActionParsnip, was just curious how to find out what the shortcuts are.... seems to all be listed under the system settings
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> neso: obviously as the system is offline you'll need to copy the text but its quite minimal
[01:07] <neso> Action im using win now ..i have install ubuntu in other HDD
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> tomasm-: hold superL (aka 'windows key') and you'll see them
[01:08] <neso> cant must shot down PC and plug other HDD :(
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> neso: then i'd get it online first rather than worry about codecs
[01:08] <kelvinella> does anyone know how to install p2ptube?
[01:09] <Shinobi> Kasplodey: I got it... it seems to do with the multi-line statement... it doesn't like it
[01:09] <Shinobi> From what I understand Perl can separate commands onto different physical lines, ending it with a ;

[01:18] <ivorybishop> i am not sure about that. i took them all out to test them, they may not be in the original slots
[01:18] <reisio> LoOoD: no, it was removed from oneiric
[01:18] <reisio> (on)
[01:18] <ivorybishop> should i re-arrange them
[01:19] <codeM0nK3Y> reisio: just viewed source which shows uri in the titlebar: jar:file:///Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/omni.ja!/chrome/browser/content/browser/aboutHome.xhtml
[01:19] <ivorybishop> i have two 1g sticks and two 2g sticks
[01:19] <codeM0nK3Y> will obviously differ based on os, but thats what I've got on Mac
[01:19] <CoJaBo> reisio: yeh
[01:19] <escott> ivorybishop, that could be a problem. whats odd here is that slots 1 and 3 show 1GB DIMMS and slots 2 and 4 show 2GBs DIMMS. IIRC DDR needs to be matched between slots. i would have expected 1 and 2 to be 1GB and 3 and 4 to be 2GB
[01:19] <ivorybishop> the two 1g sticks were stock
[01:19] <danny> i have a galaxy nexus and i have a bunch of avi movies to my dissapointed i cannot play avi on the gnex is there anyway i can make the avi movies playable on my galaxy nexus and without choppy video
[01:19] <reisio> CoJaBo: would just ignore it, there'll be another Firefox update soon anyways
[01:19] <ivorybishop> escott: ahh, i may have slipped up when reinstalling
[01:20] <escott> ivorybishop, swap the two middle slots and see if it comes up as 6
[01:20] <xangua> !ot | danny
[01:20] <escott> ivorybishop, the slots are usually color coded to help you
[01:20] <ivorybishop> escott: will do, gonna go offline to fix this. will let you know how it turns out and thank you for the time spent troubleshooting it :)
[01:21] <ivorybishop> bbiab
[01:21] <danny> xangua, this is very much ubuntu related because on widnows i have already found a program that i can use to turn it into a mp4 but since i run ubuntu (the reason im in the ubuntu channel) i am looking for an "ubuntu" way of doing what i want done
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> danny: you can use mencoder and / or ffmpeg to convert them to mp4
[01:22] <godwit> lame?
[01:22] <reisio> danny: winff might even have a preset for your phone
[01:22] <danny> reisio: sudo apt-get winff ?
[01:22] <LoOoD> There an alternative package (which is compatible) to python-pgsql?
[01:22] <graft> hi, how do i get bash to be my login shell for gdm and the like?
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> danny: ffmpeg -y -i "2.avi" -title "2" -timestamp "2005-09-24 05:59:40" -bitexact -vcodec h264 -coder 1 -g 250 -s 320x240 -r 29.97 -b 384
[01:23] <reisio> danny: yes, though it's in universe
[01:23] <escott> graft, you want a xterm as your session manager?
[01:23] <reisio> danny: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[01:23] <ActionParsnip> danny: cd $HOME; wget http://thomer.com/howtos/mp4ize; chmod +x ./mp4ize
[01:24] <nannes> In ubuntu 12.04 → What is the default content of /etc/resolv.conf (immediately after the installation)

[01:24] <alecbenzer> is there any way to write plugins for unity atm? eg, say I wanted to add some functionality to unity for automatic tiling. would that be possible somehow?
[01:24] <graft> escott: eh? no, i just mean, right now all of that xsession stuff, specifically startkde, runs using /bin/sh, which is dash... i want it to be bash so it will source bash scripts
[01:25] <escott> graft, just specify bash as your shebang. i dont understand the problem.
[01:25] <danny> ah thank you guys very much that was what i was looking for :D
[01:25] <escott> graft, you want it to source your .bashrc or something?
[01:26] <reisio> basically mp4/aac is all you need
[01:26] <graft> escott: not exactly, /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh is my concern
[01:26] <irc_> hello my ubuntu's
[01:26] <reisio> to be nice you can resize for your phone's exact dimensions
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> danny: all I did was websearch
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> danny: nothing special....
[01:26] <graft> escott: i can edit /usr/bin/startkde, but that'll just get overwritten when it updates
[01:26] <KRomo> anyone here have a galaxy nexus?
[01:26] <reisio> KRomo: danny :p
[01:26] <escott> graft, i dont think it would. its not a login shell
[01:26] <nannes>  In ubuntu 12.04 → What is the default content of /etc/resolv.conf (immediately after the installation)
[01:26] <graft> escott: i suppose that'll have to do
[01:26] <reisio> KRomo: now that you have your poll out of the way :p
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> nannes: i believe its something about localhost
[01:27] <KRomo> danny do you really?
[01:27] <escott> KRomo, the gf does.
[01:27] <danny> ActionParsnip:  well i do to and then based off what u guys tell me and the web i decide wicth one is the best casue there are 100s of them
[01:27] <Gushings> Hello, I am trying to use my iGPU instead of my GPU for my monitor.  I was able to get the motherboard to use the iGPU but when it passes bios the screen turns purple then goes black permanently.
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> nannes: you could boot your liveCD install media and look there
[01:27] <KRomo> i cannot get galaxy nexus to mount on 12.04 it is mtp
[01:27] <Gushings> I need to -keep- the drivers I have for the GPU. I'm working with CUDA.
[01:27] <Gushings> Any tips?
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-easily-mount-the-galaxy-nexus-on-ubuntu-11-10-via-unity
[01:27] <danny> KRomo: eys
[01:28] <danny> KRomo: yes
[01:28] <KRomo> danny are you able to mount it in 12.04?
[01:28] <nannes> ActionParsnip: hmmm I need precise info... Anyone in this chan doesn't have a newly installed PRECISE 12.04 ?
[01:28] <danny> KRomo: yes
[01:28] <KRomo> how?
[01:28] <nannes> It's just a  → cat /etc/resolv.conf
[01:28] <KRomo> help a brother out
[01:28] <xclusive585> I have new precise Vbox
[01:28] <xclusive585> why
[01:28] <reisio> xclusive585: why indeed
[01:29] <danny> KRomo: i wasnt when i was using the beta but i did a fresh reisntall when 12.04 came out and updated and it jsut worked right away
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> nannes: yes, use the file in the Precise liveCD, its the same...
[01:29] <xclusive585> reisio: what makes me mad is when fixed packages are right there in debian and they refuse to SRU them
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: I gave you a link...
[01:29] <nannes> ActionParsnip: I don't have it :S
[01:29] <escott> Gushings, you would need to do something to tell X11 to only use the integrated. perhaps remove the nvidia/ati drivers, and use Xorg -configure to create and Xorg.conf, and then install the drivers again but use nomodeset on the drivers. alternately do something to blacklist the module on boot and load it after you are up and running
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> nannes: I see, you never said that
[01:30] <KRomo> i cant open that link
[01:30] <Gushings> hmm
[01:30] <nannes> ActionParsnip: I would have looked my own
[01:30] <nannes> :)
[01:30] <jordy> ola
[01:30] <reisio> xclusive585: :D
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: take your pick: http://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+mount+nexus&kp=1
[01:30] <jordy> alguém do brasil ?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> nannes: do you have virtualbox installed at all?

[01:32] <nannes> ok thx
[01:33] <danny> KRomo: and another problem might just be the cord u are using i cannot conect my phone unless i am using the samsung cord that came with it
[01:34] <roasted> Question - anybody use Motion here? I'm having some trouble understanding it. There seems to be two locations to set the startup daemon... One is for automatic startup, the other is for background startup (so it releases the terminal from needing to be present to run). I can't seem to have both running at once, which... I want... I want it to auto start + I want it to have the capability to shut off and manually start background
[01:34] <roasted> ed. But it's not working. Any insight?
[01:34] <Dr_Willis> ive seen some phone  to pc cables that are charge only cabled. they dont work for data transfers.
[01:35] <weetabeex> whoever has the permissions to do it, should s/portuguêsa/portuguesa/
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> roasted:  use the service command to stop it when you waant to stop it?
[01:35] <jamiejackson> Hi Folks. How do I prevent Ubuntu (12.04) from booting to X? I'm trying to troubleshoot something.
[01:35] <danny> Dr_Willis: well allso for some reason i have 2 identical samsung cables both came out of the box from the phone and one will only alow me to charge the phone and the other alows everthing but there the exact same
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> !text | jamiejackson
[01:36] <roasted> Dr_Willis, speaking of which, is /etc/init.d services still supported? I don't think motion uses sudo service...
[01:36] <ivorybishop> escott: ok, checked the color coding and i think i got them in the right slots. ran dmicode again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015733/ still showing 3.2 in system monitor :(
[01:36] <ivorybishop> please advise
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> roasted:  if you look - the init.d scripts are most likely links to upstart scripts. :) i dont mess with services much.
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> jamiejackson: or hold shift at boot and select recovery mode then select root
[01:37] <escott> ivorybishop, lets take a look at dmesg then
[01:37] <KRomo> wtf
[01:37] <roasted> Dr_Willis, ahh I forgot. The reason I don't use /etc/init.d/motion start is because the second it detects motion, the entire service shuts itself off....
[01:38] <KRomo> ./configure --prefix=/usr
[01:38] <KRomo> i get configure not found
[01:38] <escott> ivorybishop, supposedly it would still work even if it wasnt paired it just wouldnt be dual channel.
[01:38] <KRomo> what am i doing wrong?
[01:38] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, I've been going through the commands on the website regarding the nvidia wake from suspend/hibernate.  It says to add some lines to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.  Should that be blacklist.conf, because there is no file called blacklist
[01:38] <jamiejackson> Dr_Willis: ActionParsnip thx. will try text to the kernel line first
[01:38] <escott> ivorybishop, so if we get things working you should make sure that your dimms are matching to any color coding on the board itself
[01:39] <applebloom> why do they not include vlc with ubuntu
[01:39] <applebloom> ?
[01:39] <ivorybishop> i see
[01:39] <Dr_Willis> applebloom:  its in the repos - so its easy to install
[01:39] <Dr_Willis> !info vlc
[01:39] <ivorybishop> does dmesg reveal any security issues i should cut?
[01:39] <ivorybishop> before pasting
 applebloom:  its in the repos - so its easy to install
[01:40] <escott> ivorybishop, i dont think so, but that could also depend on your definition of security issues. certainly no plain text passwords should appear
[01:40] <applebloom> but why isn't it included with the install
[01:40] <ivorybishop> kk
[01:40] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, ... or does it matter.  All of the files in that directory seem to contain lists of blacklist statements.
[01:40] <applebloom> it seems more convenient
[01:40] <applebloom> for casual users
[01:40] <Dr_Willis> applebloom:  why should it be included by default? theres other media players included
[01:40] <escott> applebloom, because people like me dont want it
[01:40] <|Long|> have anyone here installed glftpd on 12.04?
[01:40] <ivorybishop> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1015742/
[01:41] <applebloom> Dr_Willis, yeah but no file format works :p
[01:41] <applebloom> no mp4, nothing
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> applebloom:  those work for me in the default media player
[01:41] <applebloom> i tried it on 4 installs
[01:41] <applebloom> same story
[01:41]  * Dr_Willis points out a check box at the start of the installer that says download extra codecs and stuff...
[01:41] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: the file NEEDS to end in '.conf'
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> ive found very few video files that dont work for me in the default player
[01:42] <roasted> applebloom, little suggestion to show you how meaningless default applications can be... I saved a long command in a google doc... a super long one... sudo apt-get install gimp inkscape clementine vlc chromium-browser etc. I run it after each new install... in 1 command I get a ton of aps. :)
[01:42] <applebloom> Dr_Willis, but you have to be online to do that
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: you can make your own file if you want to keep your extra settings seperate, it doesn't have to go in blacklist.conf
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> applebloom:  so?
[01:42] <nannes> !nvidia
[01:43] <applebloom> Dr_Willis, ubuntu is supposed to be for normal people
[01:43] <applebloom> and sometimes those people are not connected to the internet
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> applebloom:  and normal peopel are assumed to have internet connection
[01:43] <applebloom> it's just a suggestion to improve the casual interface
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> applebloom: if you have a realmedia file in windows, no web access and no realplayer installed you are in the same boat
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> You asked why its not included.. because the default player can handle them
[01:43] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, Thanks for the pointer.  I'll rename the file with a .conf "extension".
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> dsnyders: don't name it to blacklist.conf or you'll overwrite the old file
[01:45] <roasted> Question - anybody use Motion here? I'm having some trouble understanding it. There seems to be two locations to set the startup daemon... One is for automatic startup, the other is for background startup (so it releases the terminal from needing to be present to run). I can't seem to have both running at once, which... I want... any insight?
[01:45] <Dr_Willis> !info motion
[01:45] <roasted> Dr_Willis, nadda.
[01:46] <roasted> Dr_Willis, been through forums, their IRC, etc. Time to find other users and discuss. :P
[01:46] <Dr_Willis> never used it.. i imagine its not a commonly used tool. :)
[01:46] <jamiejackson> Dr_Willis: which one's the kernel line vmlinuz or initrd?
[01:46] <dsnyders> ActionParsnip, Noted.
[01:46] <roasted> Dr_Willis, that's what I thought, but it kind of surprised me.
[01:46] <roasted> Dr_Willis, it's kind of like zoneminder, except in a lot of ways its simpler and works better.
[01:46] <VMERSINTO> does anyone know what language atari games were written in?
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> roasted:  its not real clear on what you are doing either.
[01:47] <escott> ivorybishop, there is this WARNING: BIOS bug: CPU MTRRs don't cover all of memory, losing 2048MB of RAM.
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> VMERSINTO:  theres been several 'atari' game systems
[01:47] <roasted> Dr_Willis, well, I'm limited on space I can type in 1 shot too. I'd have to elaborate quite a bit for it to make sense.
[01:47] <ivorybishop> escott: i saw that
[01:47] <microm> how do I get aerosnap?
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> roasted:  theres always pastebin. :OO)
[01:47] <VMERSINTO> Dr_Willis : was C++ implented in any of the game systems
[01:47] <ActionParsnip> VMERSINTO: how is that ubuntu related?
[01:47] <roasted> Dr_Willis, basically in /etc/default/motion there's an entry to enable the auto start daemon. If I enable this, and in startup apps add "motion", it runs fine. BUT, once I enable the background daemon in /etc/motion/motion.conf, it WILL NOT auto start.
[01:48] <reisio> microm: enabled by default, IIRC
[01:48] <ivorybishop> escott: i saw somewhere that a config file could be modified to correct the issue, but that is a little beyond my skills
[01:48] <VMERSINTO> ActionParsnip : I develop using ubuntu
[01:48] <roasted> Dr_Willis, the background daemon allows me to kill it (killall motion) and then type motion again in terminal... it'll begin running and release the terminal so I can close the terminal window and it runs as a daemon in the background.
[01:48] <escott> ivorybishop, a kernel config file?
[01:48] <microm> reisio: after a fresh install, it's not there...
[01:48] <roasted> Dr_Willis, I want both... but it doesn't seem to work. If I enable the convenience of starting/stopping it via background mode, it refuses to auto start.
[01:49] <roasted> Dr_Willis, but, I want auto start so if I reboot the server it starts.. but then it almost forces me to reboot each time I make a motion change.
[01:49] <ivorybishop> i am not sure, i was just shotgunning a search thru duckduckgo and it shows a lot of stuff
[01:49] <escott> ivorybishop, a bios update might be in order
[01:49] <ivorybishop> i may just have to live with this since i am not a linux pro
[01:49] <escott> ivorybishop, its also possible the board just doesnt support more than 4GB
[01:50] <ivorybishop> i think the bios is as up to date as it will get. its a dell
[01:50] <ivorybishop> and an older one at that
[01:50] <escott> ivorybishop, boards can have their own random limits that are distinct from the number of slots you can fill, although usually its of the form "no DIMM bigger than X"
[01:50] <jamiejackson> Dr_Willis: you had the bot tell me about the "text" option in the grub menu. where do i put it? i'm not clear on which is the "kernel" line. there are maybe 10 lines in there
[01:50] <ivorybishop> i see
[01:51] <ivorybishop> well, thank you for your patience and your help, its very appreciated
[01:51] <Dr_Willis> jamiejackson:  ssame line with the 'quiet splash'' option..
[01:51] <ivorybishop> it was worth a shot anyway
[01:52] <Dr_Willis> jamiejackson:  you can replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' i recall
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> ivorybishop: tried a diffrent distro like suse etc? not debian or ubuntu based
[01:52] <roasted> Dr_Willis, am I speaking spanglish or does that at least make sense?
[01:52] <jamiejackson> got it, Dr_Willis, thanks
[01:52] <ivorybishop> nah, i havent
[01:52] <ivorybishop> thats a good idea tho
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> ivorybishop: might be worth a shot

[02:02] <ActionParsnip> SafariMonkey: #omg!ubuntu!
[02:02] <Chuck_Norris> oh!
[02:02] <Chuck_Norris> SafariMonkey: i recently have some troubles loading OMGubuntu as well
[02:03] <Chuck_Norris> and my RSS doesn't work fine also
[02:03] <SafariMonkey> ActionParsnip: thanks, but my problem is article *content*  doesn't load but frame/articles list does...
[02:03] <SafariMonkey> ActionParsnip: never would have guessed that channel
[02:03] <Chuck_Norris> ye, thats was mah problem as well i can go to the URL but nothing is there
[02:04] <ActionParsnip> SafariMonkey: yeah the exclamation marks are dumb
[02:04] <Chuck_Norris> SafariMonkey: but do not warry in a couple of minutos will be solved, this is not the first time for me =P
[02:04] <SafariMonkey> my guess is a CMS/PHP error
[02:05] <Chuck_Norris> worry* -.-
[02:05] <marsam> ...
[02:05] <ActionParsnip> SafariMonkey: does their facebook page mention anything about it being faulty?
[02:06] <krux> they been having trouble the past couple of days.. they been posting on twitter about the site been down and not working correctly
[02:07] <ActionParsnip> that'll do it too
[02:08] <SafariMonkey> yeah well thanks. :)
[02:09] <SafariMonkey> just it's been down for a while
[02:09] <Benkinooby> hi, i'm on ubuntu 10.04. is there a fast and easy way to compare the versions of all my installed packages in 10.04 and 12.04?
[02:10] <smw_> Benkinooby, why do you want to compare versions?
[02:10] <dgeary2> what's the process for submitting a (structural) feature request against a specific package?
[02:11] <Benkinooby> smw_, i'd like to see what programs upgraded when i upgrade ubuntu
[02:11] <smw_> Benkinooby, almost everyone program will be a different version number
[02:11] <Benkinooby> smw_, forgot a "will"
[02:11] <smw_> Benkinooby, you can look up specific ones at packages.ubuntu.com
[02:12] <smw_> Benkinooby, apt-cache show packagename to get the version of the one on 10.04
[02:12] <smw_> Benkinooby, then you can look up for precise in the web interface
[02:12] <smw_> Benkinooby, but I can tell you everything will be at a higher version number except a couple like firefox
[02:13] <smw_> dgeary2, what type of feature request?
[02:13] <Benkinooby> smw_, ok, thank you
[02:14] <smw_> dgeary2, chances are the best bet is to get it into debian and then have it imported into ubuntu

[02:14] <sandyd> neighbor is blasting music again
[02:14] <dgeary2> smw_ requesting splitting out the host and guest configuration for ltsp-build-client in the ltsp-server. ubuntu is the upstream.
[02:14] <sandyd> after i've told him for the 100th time.
[02:14] <sandyd> oops
[02:15] <sandyd> wrong channel
[02:15] <sandyd> ignore me
[02:15] <Chuck_Norris> call 911 =P -.-
[02:15] <smw_> dgeary2, I guess an enhancement bug would be best. Or contact the maintainer
[02:15] <Benkinooby> says chuck norris
[02:15] <jasonbourne> join /#backtrack
[02:17] <Gushings> Okay, I think I need drivers for my iGPU, or to edit my xorg.conf.
[02:17] <dgeary2> smw_, i may have been wrong about ubuntu being upstream ... how to find out which project is upstream for a particular package?
[02:17] <Gushings> How do I determine which drivers I need?
[02:18] <smw_> dgeary2, truthfully, I don't know :-)
[02:18] <smw_> dgeary2, I would probably ask in #ubuntu-devel
[02:18] <dgeary2> smw_, there is this note in the man page: ltsp-build-client is part of ltsp package and the latest  versions  are available in source form from https://launchpad.net/products/ltsp
[02:19] <dgeary2> smw_, thanks for your help

[02:27] <escott> ActionParsnip, trying to make a liveusb, and the u3 doesnt seem to boot
[02:29] <Jon--> I want to do a full backup of my system and a fresh install to get rid of bloat. By "full backup" I mean "most configuration files, a list of installed packages as a reference, home directory, etc". I plan to backup /etc/ and /home/, and do a dump of dpkg --get-selections. Anything important I'm missing with this, given a typical setup?
[02:31] <ActionParsnip> Jon--: sounds fine to me
[02:32] <Jon--> I'm sorry Ubuntu, you have served me faithfully for many years, but due to some recent design decisions that I really disagree with, and the overall bloat, I'm diving in to Arch. You might see me back. Sorry! :(
[02:33] <Jon--> Overall it's still a heck of an OS
[02:33] <escott> ActionParsnip, i just cant figure out if this is really U3 or not. and if its a waste of time to boot windows and install the sandisk tool
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> escott: not something i've used. i've only seen folks in here try to use them with no success but others may have
[02:35] <OerHeks> !u3-tool
[02:37] <OerHeks> naugty obottu
[02:37] <OerHeks> escott there is an U3-tool
[02:37] <escott> OerHeks, yeah i cant get it to do anything, but im also not sure what device im supposed to point it at
[02:38] <Pici> !info u3-tool
[02:38] <OerHeks> escott an U3 drive comes with a double entry, i recall
[02:39] <escott> OerHeks, yeah i have sg2 and sg3 with sg2 being sr1 and sg3 being sdb1
[02:39] <piper69> ActionParsnip: you busy sir
[02:41] <ActionParsnip> piper69: half, wassup
[02:41] <piper69> i download and burned 12.04 2 times to DVD with different speeds, 1st dvd i was able to boot from it , but when i tried to install it i kept getting error and it adviced me to clean the dvd or burn it with a different speed. that didn't even boot
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> piper69: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[02:42] <escott> I'm also unclear if it matters. supposing i do remove the partition with the u3 tool the sr1 device will still exist and that will still confuse the liveUSB during boot. so i guess this is no good for a boot disk
[02:42] <piper69> ActionParsnip: this is my wife windows box i don't know how to do it in wiwndows
[02:43] <piper69> ActionParsnip: also i didnt see any netbook version , so i downloaded the desktop
[02:43] <trism> escott: I have a sandisk cruzer, and removed u3 with the windows too, the other device is gone after, works fine for liveusb
[02:43] <piper69> i am trying to install it on an HP dv7
[02:43] <escott> trism, ok i guess ill boot windows later then
[02:43] <piper69> !ND5
[02:45] <Benkinooby> piper69, you misspelled
[02:45] <piper69> Benkinooby: yes but then i used the correct one on private pm
[02:45] <Benkinooby> piper69, ah, ok
[02:45] <piper69> trying to contribute and not flood
[02:46] <Benkinooby> piper69, i usually install from pen drive...
[02:47] <pc-moon> what program is help me to make like this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohJCdihPWqc
[02:47] <piper69> Benkinooby: i couldn't find how to install it from usb
[02:47] <pc-moon> i wanna change background and add somthing in video
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | piper69
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> piper69: there is no netbook remix now :)
[02:48] <Benkinooby> piper69, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
[02:49] <laecheln> hey
[02:49] <piper69> ActionParsnip: so do i install the alt version
[02:49] <Benkinooby> piper69, this link can be found on the right side on http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[02:49] <laecheln> I'm having trouble with my internet
[02:49] <Benkinooby> piper69, alternate would also be an idea
[02:49] <Benkinooby> !alternate
[02:50] <laecheln> I can't get to the internet at all
[02:51] <pbx2> "You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. "  How do I exit X?
[02:51] <Enkwi> Hello!
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> piper69: you can do, its a bit faster
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> pbx2: what are you installing?
[02:52] <brian__> hey guys, i kep getting adpkg err
[02:52] <pbx2> ActionParsnip, Nvidia latest driver
[02:52] <ActionParsnip> brian__: can you pastebin the output of:  sudo apt-get update    please
[02:52] <brian__> ActionParsnip, I went and restarted ubuntu, and I'm stil geting the same stuf
[02:52] <piper69> ActionParsnip: meaning
[02:52] <reisio> pbx2: sudo service gdm stop or something
[02:52] <sunbird> how do i trash gedit's config files? i'm getting a bizarre error when trying to open a text file.
[02:52] <brian__> sudo apt-get update
[02:52] <Benkinooby> ok i'm out - see ya!
[02:53] <brian__> ok, one sec
[02:53] <sunbird> i tried rm'ing .gconf/apps/gedit-2 but it didn't help.
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> piper69: it installs in text mode, so you dont have to wait for the x server to be built to install
[02:53] <pbx2> reisio, there is no gdm or kdm running
[02:53] <reisio> pbx2: but yeah, you probably shouldn't be doing that the "manual" way
[02:53] <sunbird> this is on ubuntu 12.04x64
[02:53] <reisio> pbx2: oh sorry it's lightdm
[02:53] <ActionParsnip> pbx2: the xorg edgers update ppa has those packaged and ready
[02:53] <reisio> pbx2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[02:53] <sunbird> here's the error -> GtkSourceView:ERROR:gtksourcecontextengine.c:5487:update_syntax: assertion failed: (state->context != NULL)
[02:53] <sunbird> Aborted (core dumped)
[02:54] <Khisanth> that looks more like a bug
[02:54] <sunbird> the file is called 'filename' but if i rename it 'filename.txt' it opens fine.
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> pbx2: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> sunbird: is that when you run gedit?
[02:54] <pbx2> ActionParsnip, I want to install the "Official Driver" I downloaded from Nvidia
[02:55] <pbx2> ActionParsnip, it says sudo sh /driver.run
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> pbx2: that is the one from nvidia, the driver is proprietary, so it can ONLY come from nvidia
[02:55] <sunbird> ActionParsnip: yes, from command line. gedit filename throws the error before the file opens. if i cp the file to filename.txt, it opens fine.
[02:55] <pbx2> ActionParsnip, yes thats the one I want to install
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> sunbird: could try:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install gedit
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> pbx2: yes, that wil install it for you
[02:55] <pbx2> ActionParsnip, I need to stop Xserver for that
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> pbx2: you don't if you use the package
[02:56] <hilikus> is it possible to install a vnc server in a live cd and then start and control the installation through vnc?
[02:56] <hilikus> the installation of ubuntu (permanent)
[02:56] <pbx2> Will this stop Xserver: sudo apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ?
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> hilikus: absolutely, you can do anything in the liveCD that you can do in an installed OS except reboot :)
[02:56] <sunbird> ActionParsnip: same problem. :(
[02:56] <Benkinooby> !minimal
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> pbx2: you don't need to uninstall the package, you can blacklist it if you want but the kernel will load the nvidia driver and not nouveau or nv
[02:57] <pbx2> ActionParsnip, i am running Lubuntu
[02:57] <sunbird> i think that gedit thinks that /path/to/filename is a specific encoding and crashes when it is not as expected.
[02:57] <hilikus> ActionParsnip: is a vnc server installed by default in ubuntu?
[02:57] <pbx2> i.e. Light version of Ubuntu...
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> pbx2: so?
[02:58] <escott> hilikus, no
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> hilikus: yes, vino is in a default OS
[02:58] <ActionParsnip> sunbird: does it happen with other editors, like leafpad?
[02:58] <sunbird> dunno, let's find out.
[02:59] <xibalba> hey folks, anyone know where is a potentially good place to sell a domain?
[02:59] <CoJaBo> Are there any tips for getting Meshlab to not crash the system when a file is opened?
[02:59] <sunbird> ActionParsnip: nope. leafpad opens fine.
[03:00] <hexlixir> hello. what's the best way to store passwords on ubuntu?
[03:00] <hilikus> ActionParsnip: is there a way to do vnc without port forwarding in the router?
[03:00] <ccmonster> : dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[03:00] <ccmonster> that's what it says ActionParsnip
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> hilikus: if you want access over LAN then you don't need to port forward
[03:01] <thewazir> in Unix, you can get command file location by doing 'type  <command>' example - type ls, what is Linux equivalent
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> ccmonster: ok, run that command, pastebin the output please
[03:01] <piper69> ActionParsnip: md5 checks out
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> thewazir: which ls
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> piper69: cool
[03:01] <hilikus> ActionParsnip: its not over the LAN, its a friend in another country
[03:01] <hexlixir> anyone?
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> hilikus: then you should use an SSH tunnel, VNC has zero security
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> hilikus: you WILL need to port forward on the router
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> !vnc
[03:02] <ccmonster> ActionParsnip,  it loks like it is seting up EVERYTHING inthe system almost
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> ccmonster: its just continuing the install
[03:03] <piper69> ActionParsnip: can you please run it by me again, when you said erlaier that i can choose not to use the new look
[03:03] <ccmonster> hmm. Interesting. It wouldn't let me do this untl i did a reboot
[03:03] <SubCool> Could someone help me with backing up? - I ran across this awesome method, and i liekd it- but lost everything. Its a command that copies all of your packages, or their names to a list. So that when u restart a system, you can automatically download all of you rpackages. But i was curious on setting it up so that all customizations could be saved to a SD or something?
[03:04] <piper69> ActionParsnip: what should i look for , i hated how 11.xx looked and maneuvered, i couldn't even find the admin menu
[03:04] <xibalba> looking to sell the domain colosandiego.com
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> piper69: the only thnig you aren't liking is Unity, which is the default shell. The old default shell wass gnome-panel so ALL you have to do is install gnome-panel and you will get the old style desktop
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> piper69: the admin menu is in the cog menu in the top right of the screen, a few of the apps may be in the dash
[03:04] <reisio> heh
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> piper69: you can always install Xubuntu and it will look a lot like gnome 2
[03:05] <hexlixir> hello. what's the best way to store passwords on ubuntu?
[03:05] <reisio> xibalba: try looking at #nobodycares
[03:05] <piper69> ActionParsnip: what i didn't like is the bar on the left hand site
[03:05] <xibalba> oh snap
[03:05] <reisio> hexlixir: not at all
[03:05] <hexlixir> reisio: what?
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> piper69:  that is only in one of the 4 official releases
[03:05] <piper69> ActionParsnip: what do you mean ?
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> piper69: so as I always say: you don't have to use Unity
[03:06] <escott> hexlixir, you should store anything sensitive in your keyring
[03:06] <reisio> storing passwords makes them less effective
[03:06] <ActionParsnip> piper69: Xubuntu, Lubuntu and Kubuntu do not have Unity installed
[03:06] <netmk> xibalba: why would anyone want to buy that? Colonoscopy San Diego?
[03:06] <piper69> i will give xubuntu a try then
[03:06] <xibalba> netmk, lol that's pretty funny
[03:06] <hexlixir> escott: how do I use them in my browser?
[03:06] <escott> hexlixir, seahorse provides a gui for gnome/unity
[03:06] <xangua> !ot | netmk xibalba
[03:06] <xibalba> i fugued someone who is in the data center business would be interested
[03:07] <netmk> xangua: wow thanks for the information.
[03:07] <xibalba> xangua, understood
[03:07] <piper69> ActionParsnip: i hope all this will fix my original issue, viewing the videos
[03:08] <ActionParsnip> piper69: probably, newer kernel and X may help
[03:09] <CoJaBo> Is there a way to make sure the graphics drivers are up to date?
[03:09] <ccmonster> ActionParsnip, so it finshed the dpkg -configure, now I'm doing another apt-get update. What next?
[03:09] <reisio> CoJaBo: same as keeping your system up to date
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> ccmonster: if you run:  sudo apt-get -f install   does it say zero updated?
[03:09] <CoJaBo> reisio: Then why does it crash when I start meshlab? :/
[03:10] <reisio> CoJaBo: because
[03:10] <chrislu5tic1> Hi there Please help me >> http://pastebin.com/Ee22nWzs
[03:11] <CoJaBo> Any ideas how to fix that? :/
[03:11] <ccmonster> ActionParsnip, now it says unable to open sudo, read0only file system
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic1: delete the partitioned space you want to install ubuntu to so that it is unallocated and the installer will see it
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> ccmonster: then you may want to fsck it from liveCD
[03:12] <chrislu5tic1> so delete sda5 ?
[03:12] <Zyclops> hey.. i need to setup 7 ubuntu machines for software developers all with the same development environment setup but with different user accounts and passwords.   I need to retain some level of control over the machines (i.e. if a developer comes or goes we can put another developer on the same machine).  Most of the machines are similar hardware but not exactly the same.  Is there a way i can set this up once and then
[03:12] <ccmonster> what's the comand you wanted me to try again?
[03:13] <ccmonster> sudo apt-get -f install ??
[03:13] <cnnnnum> HELLo??? ? ? ?
[03:13] <Zyclops> HDD*

[03:15] <inelation> hi everyone
[03:15] <reisio> hi
[03:15] <ccmonster> what does fsck do ?
[03:15] <inelation> could someone please help with with a hardware raid 1
[03:16] <xangua> reisio: just lazy to write myself
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> ccmonster: checks the file system health
[03:16] <Hupal> hey kinda new to using irc chAT
[03:16] <Gushings> When using my iGPU with HDMI output to my display, I go through BIOS and get a purple screen for a few seconds, then it goes black and I lose HDMI output.
[03:16] <phoenix2> Why am I banned from #backtrack-linux, i've never even tried to connect before.
[03:16] <Gushings> Any tips?
[03:16] <cnnnnum> can someone please help me with soldering on a new power suppllly into my lab-top
[03:16] <piper69> ActionParsnip: 1 sec, let me get the laptop next to me here
[03:16] <Gushings> is your username registered, phoenix2?
[03:16] <phoenix2> Derp, thanks.
[03:16] <inelation> i've setup a raid 1 array through a bios utility..ubuntu 12 is showing 2 disks in disk utility as raid component
[03:16] <Jon--> How can I determine file system FAT16 vs FAT32 vs NTFS for some mounted drive? fdisk just has HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
[03:17] <reisio> Jon--: how about /sbin/blkid
[03:17] <inelation> if i format the volume of either drive as ext4 it destroys the array..and I get 2 separate drives..
[03:17] <phoenix2> Registered, still can't connect.
[03:17] <cnnnnum> is the ram i install on my labtop different than ram i install on my personal computer?
[03:17] <ccmonster> can I run fsck right now?
[03:17] <reisio> nope
[03:17] <reisio> cnnnnum: probably
[03:18] <reisio> cnnnnum: it's probably an entirely different form factor, for starters
[03:18] <cnnnnum> can i interchange the pc ram into my labtop
[03:18] <reisio> cnnnnum: not likely
[03:18] <reisio> but no one can say without examining
[03:18] <cnnnnum> well thats silly!
[03:18] <Jon--> reisio, example use?
[03:18] <reisio> cnnnnum: laptops are pretty silly
[03:18] <reisio> Jon--: '/sbin/blkid'
[03:18] <cnnnnum> i think its labtop, pal
[03:18] <Jon--> reisio, no output
[03:18] <reisio> labbbb top?
[03:18] <cnnnnum> yeah
[03:18] <reisio> what's a labtop?
[03:19] <phoenix2> Anybody heard of backtrack having total network failure when you try to download anything more than a few mb?
[03:19] <piper69> ActionParsnip: GT216 GeForce gt 320m REV A2
[03:19] <cnnnnum> u no
[03:19] <phoenix2> It repeatively says that my wpa password is bad, even though I was just connected with the same info..
[03:19] <cnnnnum> that thang u surf redtube with to jerk while ur on da toilet
[03:19] <cnnnnum> a labtop
[03:19] <phoenix2> Until I reboot
[03:19] <xangua> phoenix2: sounds like a question for #backtrack-linux
[03:19] <phoenix2> No shit.
[03:19] <reisio> cnnnnum: laptop
[03:19] <cnnnnum> labtop
[03:19] <reisio> I use my phone, actually
[03:19] <xangua> !language | cnnnnum phoenix2
[03:19] <cnnnnum> i used to make that mistake as well
[03:20] <phoenix2> I was just talking about not being able to connect to there bro.
[03:20] <reisio> oh, what happened?
[03:20] <Jon--> reisio, Any ideas?
[03:20] <piper69> ActionParsnip: Am i that screwed hehe
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> piper69: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
[03:22] <reisio> Jon--: no output? then you probably aren't running Linux
[03:22] <reisio> heh
[03:23] <tehwilder> I don't understand how I can be banned from a chennel I've never joined. I registered and verified.
[03:24] <piper69> ActionParsnip: i am not expert like you can you please explain, i will be installing from pendrive
[03:24] <xibalba> tehwilder, welcome to IRC
[03:24] <chrislu5tic1> actionparsnip: http://pastebin.com/hJnfmh0U
[03:25] <tehwilder> Never had this problem.
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> !bootoption | piper69
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic1: is the space you want to install ubuntu to formatted at al?
[03:27] <chrislu5tic1> actionparsnip:  it says nfts /dev/sda5
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic1: unpartition it in windows, ntfs cannot be used to install Ubuntu to
[03:27] <CoJaBo> ...which is no longer supported. great.
[03:28] <CoJaBo> thatsucks
[03:28] <Gushings> Switching consoles with control-alt-f# gives me a red screen until I switch back to the one with gdm running.
[03:28] <chrislu5tic1> actionparnsip: so i should just use the partition editor and partition the full size of the partition to ... ext4  ?
[03:28] <chrislu5tic1> the full size of the /dev/sda5 that is *
[03:29] <JoseeAntonioR> Gushings: do you really need to use those consoles? Because you can use a Terminal instead
[03:29] <Gushings> JoseeAntonioR Yes, I need the consoles.
[03:29] <chrislu5tic1> I am using a USB installer  aswell,
[03:30] <JoseeAntonioR> Gushings: is any of the consoles working fine?
[03:30] <Gushings> I can't use terminals for this particular task.
[03:30] <Gushings> No, only the one with the graphics.
[03:30] <Gushings> if I service gdm stop it turns red as well
[03:31] <Gushings> They are all technically "working" actually - I can log in blind and make directories, etc.
[03:31] <Gushings> I can only see red though.
[03:31] <JoseeAntonioR> Gushings: could you please give me the output of "sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a | pastebinit"?
[03:31] <CoJaBo> i had something like that happen..
[03:32] <cknox> what are the permissions that should be on the /home partition?
[03:32] <MerlynKorr> why was i kicked from tremulous? (i ask here because i dont know where else to ask.)
[03:32] <Gushings> What does pastebinit do, post to pastebin?
[03:32] <chrislu5tic1> actionparsnip: Im using a usb installer,  cant I just use the partition editor in ubuntu
[03:32] <chrislu5tic1> to partition the full size of the empty drive from nfts to ext4 rather than using windows.
[03:32] <chrislu5tic1> ...and it's ext4 tight ?
[03:32] <smw_> cknox, permissions?
[03:32] <JoseeAntonioR> Gushings: Yes
[03:33] <reisio> MerlynKorr: ask someone on this list: /msg chanserv access #tremulous list
[03:33] <smw_> cknox, what do you mean permissions on a partition?
[03:34] <cknox> smw_: I installed Ubuntu, then I added a logical volume (since the installer didn't like it when I had more than one...) One of them was for my home directory
[03:34] <Gushings> http://pastebin.com/NmpYgfyG
[03:34] <cknox> now when I create new users, or when I recreated mine, they're all getting the permissions rwxr-xr-x
[03:34] <cknox> which makes it so that everyone can see my files...
[03:35] <smw_> cknox, so set it to something else :-)
[03:35] <cknox> but why would it have set them to that by default?
[03:35] <piper69> ActionParsnip: i failed to access the boot option
[03:35] <Boohbah> cknox: man umask
[03:35] <smw_> cknox, sometimes I ask myself the same question...
[03:36] <JoseeAntonioR> Gushings: Have you checked if there are any additional drivers to be installed? Seems like the system is using a generic driver for your video card.
[03:36] <chrislu5tic1> when partitions my drive,   which mount point should I use, ??????
[03:36] <chrislu5tic1> like /home    /boot    /tmp     /usr     /var  ???????
[03:36] <Gushings> I am using the drivers from http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
[03:36] <Gushings> System built for CUDA, which is working great.
[03:36] <cknox> wtf on our production server at work, some users have rwx------ and others have rwxr-xr-x
[03:37] <chrislu5tic1> anyone ?? ^
[03:37] <cknox> oh well, i'll just change the permissions on the directory to rwxr-x--- and be done with it
[03:37] <smw_> chrisltq, why are you making different partitions?
[03:37] <smw_> chrislu5tic1, ^
[03:37] <Boohbah> cknox: or you could set the umask in bashrc/bash_profile
[03:37] <smw_> chrislu5tic1, I personally make a / partition and a /home partition
[03:38] <smw_> chrislu5tic1, but it depends on what you want
[03:38] <chrislu5tic1> I am installing ubuntu alongside win7,  im formatting an empty partition from ntfs to ext4 so that I can install ubuntu,
[03:38] <chrislu5tic1> it askes for mount point,
[03:38] <chrislu5tic1> or ..well it can be selected
[03:38] <smw_> chrisltq, /
[03:38] <JoseeAntonioR> Gushings: I don't know what can be causing this, from what I know this is an issue with the video card
[03:38] <chrislu5tic1> just the ? by itself?
[03:38] <cknox> Boohbah: enough of your logic!
[03:38] <smw_> chrislu5tic1, you MUST have a partition mounted on "/"
[03:38] <Dr_Willis>  / is the 'root' of the os
[03:39] <chrislu5tic1> oh kay so it just has to be one of them
[03:39] <chrislu5tic1> I can choose home by personal preffernce?
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> you have to have a partion mounted as '/'
[03:39] <cknox> Boohbah:  watch this...
[03:39] <Dr_Willis>  /home can be its own partition also.. if you want
[03:39] <cknox> No manual entry for umask
[03:39] <smw_> chrislu5tic1, some advanced users also have a /home partition separate
[03:40] <Gushings> Alright, well thank you.
[03:40] <chrislu5tic1> im trying to install ubuntu..  all partitions are ntfs.. im trying to format the partition.. which mount point should i choose please
[03:40] <piper69> guys i am not able to enable kernel options when booting from usb and  suggestions please
[03:40] <smw_> chrislu5tic1, "/"
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> chrislu5tic1:  you have how many partitions?
[03:41] <smw_> chrislu5tic1, Dr_Willis is asking how many partitions are for linux
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> common 'layout'  chrislu5tic1  for my systems. one drive --:  partition 1 = ntfs, partition 2 = '/' , partition 3 = linux swap
[03:41] <chrislu5tic1> I have 5 partition,  1 is for windows,, one is for recovery,  one is for bootloader, one is for win7 loader,  and the one Im trying to use is empty...
[03:41] <Boohbah> cknox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask
[03:42] <Dr_Willis> chrislu5tic1:  empty ntfs? or empty ext3/4 ?
[03:42] <chrislu5tic1> nfts
[03:42] <cknox> Boohbah: that's what i'm looking at now
[03:42] <chrislu5tic1> this computer came with windows.
[03:42] <Dr_Willis> chrislu5tic1:  any data on it you wan tto keep?
[03:42] <pbx> reisio, thanks stop lightdm worked :)
[03:42] <piper69> guys i am not able to enable kernel options when booting from usb and  suggestions please?
[03:42] <chrislu5tic1> im installing ALONGSIDE
[03:42] <chrislu5tic1> its not getting rid of my windows
[03:42] <smw_> chrislu5tic1, so set the partition to ext4 and mount point /
[03:43] <chrislu5tic1> slash by itself right ?
[03:43] <Dr_Willis> chrislu5tic1:  and you have to have a ext3/4 partition to install to.. so on that partition. is there any data on it?
[03:43] <smw_> chrislu5tic1, yes
[03:43] <sunbird> any other places userprefs hide in 12.04? i deleted .gconf/apps/gedit-2 but looking for other places...
[03:43] <chrislu5tic1> THANK YOU ALL
[03:43] <smw_> Dr_Willis, he already said it was empty but formatted ntfs
[03:43] <cknox> sunbird: just to be safe you could always delete / </sarcasm>
[03:44] <smw_> sunbird, userprefs hide throughout your home dir
[03:44] <Dr_Willis> easiest thing to do woule be to just delete the partition and let the installer repartion the unallocaed space ;)
[03:45] <internetnikolay> russian
[03:45] <JoseeAntonioR> !ru | internetnikolay
[03:45] <sunbird> so i also found .config/gedit, but that wasn't it either....
[03:46] <chrislu5tic1> DAMNIT
[03:46] <chrislu5tic1> it says I have not selected a partition for swap space,   and I need to
[03:46] <Dr_Willis> chrislu5tic1:  yep. i was about to mention how you need 2 partitons normally. / and swap
[03:46] <pbx> is there a good download manager for ubuntu that splits the download into chunks so we can download using 8 connections etc
 спасибо)
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> you can get by withoug swap. but i dont know if the installer will let you do that
[03:47] <chrislu5tic1> wtf
[03:47] <chrislu5tic1> this is ridiculous
[03:47] <piper69> can someone please help me set the NOMODSET on 12.04 running from usb
[03:47] <Dr_Willis> if you just delete the partition you are trying to use. the installer can repartion it to a / and  swap as needed chrislu5tic1
[03:47] <chrislu5tic1> usually installing linux 12.04 on every other computer has been a BREEZ
[03:47] <chrislu5tic1> this isnt my computer
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> you can have  seveal loigical partitons in an extended. so having a / and swap is not a big desl
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> deal
[03:48] <chrislu5tic1> so just   delete the partition that I was formatting to ext4
[03:48] <chrislu5tic1> and then go through with the installation and it will detect it?
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> or make it into 2 partitions  a / and a smaller swap
[03:48] <Dr_Willis> either way you want to.  Depends on how much controll you desire.
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> chrislu5tic1:  how big is this partition anyway?
[03:49] <sunbird> ... and .gnome2/gedit... not it.
[03:49] <chrislu5tic1> i cant do that
[03:49] <chrislu5tic1> its not my computer i cant go around partitioning everything
[03:49] <chrislu5tic1> this has never been needed before
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic1: like I said, leave it unpartitioned and the installer will set it up for you
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> you allready are changeing partitions.
[03:49] <piper69> ActionParsnip: can you help please
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> piper69: sup
[03:49] <Dr_Willis> so if you do it.. or if the installer does it.. what does it matter
[03:50] <JoseeAntonioR> piper69: I see you want to run nomodeset from a LiveUSB
[03:50] <piper69> JoseeAntonioR: yes sir, ActionParsnip ^^
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> JoseeAntonioR: in fact nouveau.blacklist=1
[03:51] <JoseeAntonioR> ActionParsnip: what's it about? The user with a red screen?
[03:51] <JoseeAntonioR> seems like he has already replaced the driver
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> JoseeAntonioR: no boot to liveCD for piper69
[03:51] <ActionParsnip> ah, i see
[03:53] <JoseeAntonioR> piper69: Ok, once it's booting you'll see a purple screen with two icons. Press the space key, and you'll be prompted in a menu where you can change the boot options.
[03:53] <Beatstreet> zanberdo - you lurking?
[03:53] <piper69> am not getting that
[03:54] <chrislu5tic1> ridiculous
[03:56] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic1: what is?
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic1: you partitioned the space you wanted to install ubuntu to, to NTFS which cannot hold Linux file permissions. All you have to do is either resize it (if you have a lot of spare space and need the 2nd partition), or delete it and the installer will offer to use the space. How is that ridiculous?
[03:58] <mhaz> chrislu5tic1= Troll
[03:58] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic1: if you can enlighten me as to your issue, maybe I can help
[03:58] <chrislu5tic1> i deleted it
[03:58] <chrislu5tic1> the installer does not offer anything
[03:59] <chrislu5tic1> it says the same thing,  you need to format it, after formatting it  you need another patition for swap
[03:59] <piper69> on a 500GB, is it possible i can partition into two or even three, so that core system (OS) is installed in a pation and applications are installed on another and user data on theird
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> chrislu5tic1: ok, what type of disk does windows disk manager say it is?
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> often after deleting a partion - a reboot is needed for the kernel to see the new partition layout
[03:59] <ActionParsnip> piper69: totally, thats what I do :)
[04:00] <piper69> how can i do it please
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> piper69: 10Gb /, 3.3Gb swap, rest for /home :)
[04:00] <JoseeAntonioR> piper69: Yes, you should create the partitions, and set the mount point. You should mount /home for personal data.
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> piper69: my system has 3Gb RAM, hence 3.3Gb swap :)
[04:01] <piper69> ext4
[04:02] <cknox> ActionParsnip: that's not quite what piper69 asked...
[04:02] <cknox> although that's pretty close to my setup
[04:03] <cknox> I have 15 G / 5 G /home 524 M swap and 25 M /var/www
[04:03] <Dr_Willis> 5G wouldent hold my wallpaper collection. ;)
[04:04] <cknox> Dr_Willis: it's only 5 G to start with
[04:04] <this_is_a_un> Wow you people have small hard drives...
[04:04] <cknox> it's also a server, so I don't need to have wallpapers on it ;)
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> i got a whole 3TB hard drive for my home ;)
[04:05]  * cknox can only fit a 200 GB drive in the server (mostly due to it not having sata, and me not having any other ide drives)
[04:06] <jefimenko> do you have to reboot after reboot after changing the timezone on a server?
[04:06] <jefimenko> using dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[04:07] <cknox> jefimenko: I don't believe so
[04:07] <cknox> is it telling you that you need to reboot?
[04:07] <jefimenko> no
[04:07] <roasted> Question - what's a good utility (web based) that I could use to pull up basic stats on my server over the web? I'm hoping to find the typical things you'd see in system monitor. disk usage, etc.
[04:08] <cknox> roasted: phpsysinfo?
[04:08] <roasted> cknox, I'll look into it, thanks. Anything special to get it running?
[04:09] <religi0n> Could someone help troubleshoot me getting Ubuntu to boot? I've tried everything I know
[04:09] <cknox> roasted: I don't think I needed anything special, but I haven't tried it recently...
[04:10] <roasted> cknox, do you recall how to access it by chance?
[04:10] <cknox> server:port/phpsysinfo
[04:10] <cknox> I've recently reinstalled my server to get lvm installed so I haven't set it all up yet
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> this_is_a_un: yes but my storage is on my file server, so the system itself needs very little storage
[04:11] <roasted> eh, nadda. I'll look around though.
[04:11] <roasted> thanks!
[04:11] <KRomo> ActionParsnip, you are on here 24/7
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> this_is_a_un: when you have a file server you don't need lots of big drives
[04:11] <KRomo> i appreciate all of your help
[04:11] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: I just work stupid shifts
[04:11] <FrozenFire> After a power outage, my system running Ubuntu 12.04 no longer has wireless connectivity. It does not seem to be picking up any wireless access points at all. If I try to explicitly connect to an access point by configuring it as a "hidden" one, it just scans continuously for it.
[04:11] <roasted> ActionParsnip for president.
[04:11] <FrozenFire> Any suggestions as to what I can do to resolve this>?
[04:12] <FrozenFire> I've reinstalled NetworkManager
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> this_is_a_un: don't tell me you have all your music and junk on loads of differnet systems....
[04:12] <KRomo> FrozenFire, power surge fried chip?
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> roasted: I'm british ;)
[04:12] <roasted> ActionParsnip, I failed :(
[04:12] <FrozenFire> KRomo, Unlikely. It was a schedule bit of power infrastructure maintenance. They turned the power off themselves.
[04:12] <roasted> ActionParsnip, you should become an expert in Motion so you can help me with understanding these ridiculous daemon issues. :D
[04:13] <FrozenFire> And yes, before you mention it, the system should have been turned off.
[04:13] <FrozenFire> But, my sister, whose system it is, didn't.
[04:13] <KRomo> anyone check out the chromebox? thinking about suggesting it for my dad to replace his aging pc
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> roasted: hehe wel I'll be doing LPI101 and LP102 soon so its a step closer :)
[04:13] <roasted> ActionParsnip, I'm actually very fond of this software. Its proving to be quite awesome for home surveillance. I just wish I understood some of this crap more.
[04:14] <religi0n> Can someone help me? I can't load the fail safe graphics option in recovery mode. I can't do anything other than use the shell
[04:14] <roasted> although I just dug up an old bug regarding the one daemon service, so maybe that's what I'm seeing.
[04:15] <MerlynKorr> #tremulous
[04:15] <mhaz> Jono: when is the next Lugradio?
[04:15] <jono> mhaz, who knows? :-)
[04:15] <cknox> anyone know how to add a virtual directory to apache (is that what they're even called in apache)
[04:16] <mhaz> I think you would know....................
[04:16] <cknox> I know where phpsysinfo keeps it's files, but it doesn't seem to have a site pointing to it :(
[04:16] <jono> mhaz, given that there are no plans, not really :-)
[04:16] <mhaz> I see. Pity.
[04:17] <jono> mhaz, glad you liked the show
[04:18] <mhaz> I am listening to season 4 episode 24 now. I feel nostalgic.
[04:23] <cknox> gaaaa why do I have to fix so much in 12.04?
[04:25] <cknox> roasted: after running sudo apt-get install phpsysinfo, you may need to run sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpsysinfo /var/www
[04:26] <roasted> cknox, beautiful!
[04:26] <roasted> cknox, I was just googling that too.
[04:26] <roasted> thanks!
[04:26] <paulus68> what is the best way to take over a desktop from another ubuntu pc?
[04:27] <roasted> paulus68, I just use VNC.
[04:27] <paulus68> roasted: if I remember correctly there is a build in one in ubuntu however I don't recall the name?
[04:27] <roasted> paulus68, vinagre
[04:28] <paulus68> roasted: I suppose I need to install this on the remote and on the client right?
[04:29] <roasted> paulus68, I'm not entirely sure. I just set everything up in th ebuilt in GUI tools for remote desktop.
[04:29] <paulus68> ok thanks
[04:31] <this_is_a_un> Sorry if this doesn't go here, but on some channels(IRC) I get an error that the message cannot be sent.
[04:32] <JoseeAntonioR> this_is_a_un: It's because it's moderated and you don't have voice.
[04:33] <this_is_a_un> JoseeAntonioR: Ok. How would I get voice then? Sorry, I'm new to this whole thing xD
[04:33] <JoseeAntonioR> this_is_a_un: A channel operator would have to give it to you
[04:34] <ugi> ask the !op ?
[04:34] <this_is_a_un> Ah, so you can't just 'ask for it'
[04:34] <JoseeAntonioR> this_is_a_un: You can, but to an operator, not to anyone
[04:34] <KRomo> ok i have a problem in ubuntu
[04:34] <this_is_a_un> So '/msg op voice'
[04:35] <JoseeAntonioR> this_is_a_un: /msg chanserv access #channelname list will give you a list of ops
[04:35] <KRomo> im tryimn to extract from a zip, when i select "new folder it lets me start typing the name of the new folder and dissapears....
[04:36] <KRomo> only in the downloads folder
[04:36] <this_is_a_un> ok, got it.
[04:36] <KRomo> can anyone reproduce it?
[04:37] <zhanger> what version KRomo
[04:37] <KRomo> 12.04
[04:37] <zhanger> which version of ubuntu
[04:37] <zhanger> oh
[04:37] <zhanger> using 11.04 hm
[04:37] <zhanger> let me try extracting a zip
[04:37] <KRomo> its only in that folder
[04:37] <zhanger> so it works fine everywhere else?
[04:37] <KRomo> yes
[04:38] <KRomo> and i can create folders in other ways in Downloads
[04:38] <KRomo> just not when extracting a zip
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> paulus68: what apps you wanting to control on the remote system?
[04:38] <KRomo> the zip is in the downloads folder
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: install unp and use that to extract everything in cli :)
[04:39] <zhanger> hm
[04:39] <zhanger> wait KRomo are you opening it in archive manager then pressing extract
[04:39] <KRomo> yeah
[04:39] <KRomo> well
[04:39] <KRomo> not pressing extract yet
[04:39] <KRomo> yes rather
[04:39] <KRomo> pressing extract
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: right click archive -> extract here
[04:39] <KRomo> then create folder
[04:39] <KRomo> but i dont want it to extract in downloads
[04:40] <KRomo> i want to create a folder imn downloads
[04:40] <zhanger> well
[04:40] <zhanger> i just tried that
[04:40] <zhanger> worked fine
[04:40] <KRomo> fucking weird
[04:40] <zhanger> try running it from command line
[04:40] <KRomo> maybe a 12.04 bug
[04:40] <zhanger> see if there's any output
[04:40] <zhanger> ye seems like a random bug
[04:40] <chu> KRomo: Please watch the language. Thank you.
[04:41] <KRomo> sorry
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: make a folder then move the archive into it and extract, most archives will contain a folder to hold everything
[04:41] <KRomo> i figured a way to do it, but it seems to be a an archive mansager bug
[04:42] <KRomo> i installed 7zip tho, i thought 7zip would handle those files now
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: run:  ubuntu-bug fileroller    then and report it
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> KRomo: 7zip will just add abilities to fileroller
[04:43] <KRomo> fireroller does not exist
[04:43] <zhanger> file-roller
[04:43] <KRomo> file rather
[04:43] <KRomo> doesnt exist
[04:43] <zhanger> there's a dash
[04:43] <KRomo> oh -
[04:43] <KRomo> ok
[04:43] <zhanger> ye
[04:43] <zhanger> or rather
[04:43] <zhanger> hyphen
[04:43] <zhanger> i think

[04:43] <zhanger> woooooops :\
[04:44] <zhanger> does anyone know how to find the associated program/process with a window? sometimes the window names are totally unrelated, e.g "additional drivers" is "jockey-gtk", "disk utility" is palimpsest
[04:45] <zhanger> sometimes i want to run it on command line but i dont know what the executable is called
[04:50] <ggherdov> hi all. I understand that to grant a user the permission to "sudo" I just need to add said user to the "admin" group. But then I have problems in adding a user to a group, look at this pastebin: http://bpaste.net/show/Yf424RDHdy7HhW2nVj2X/ with usermod it looks like I am just "overwriting" the second group of a user, not adding one more to its groups. Any hint?
[04:51] <arooni-mobile> can someone help me ot understand why deluge isnt downloading?  i have checked that there is an available porn opene and configured it to that port
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> ggherdov: thats because the command isn't adding the user to admin
[04:51] <cknox> grrrrr
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> ggherdov: that will make the user ONLY in that group
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> ggherdov: you want:   sudo usermod -a admin gghh
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> oop
[04:51] <cknox> I read a really good article last time I set my server up, and now I can't find it. How do I make it so normal users can edit /var/www?
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> ggherdov: you want:   sudo usermod -a -G admin gghh
[04:52] <zhanger> cknox chmod -R it?
[04:52] <zhanger> arooni-mobile are you running the daemon or what
[04:52] <zhanger> which interface are you using
[04:52] <ggherdov> ActionParsnip: looks like a few more pass to the manpage of "usermod" are necessary to me :-) thanks
[04:52] <arooni-mobile> zhanger, i'm running the gui app
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> ggherdov: usermod -a (add) -G (supplementary group) group-to-be-added-to username
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> ggherdov: indeed
[04:53] <cknox> zhanger: I did, but then I create a new directory and suddenly I can't create things in that directory
[04:53] <dr3mro> how to set the cpufreq governet to conservative after booting 3 minutes !! ubuntu 12.04 :)
[04:53] <zydingxiaomei> excuse , what about lubuntu ?
[04:53] <cknox> oh...
[04:53] <zhanger> woops
[04:54] <zhanger> did i miss something
[04:54] <zhanger> dced
[04:54] <cknox> when it says log out, it means log out (screen sessions included)
[04:55] <zhanger> cknox what're the permissions on /var/www
[04:55] <diverdude> how can i check file encoding from the terminal?
[04:56] <cknox> drwxr-xr-x  3 www-data www-data 4096 May 30 21:39
[04:56] <zhanger> hmm
[04:56] <cknox> zhanger: i've got it working with /var/www/public set to 3 www-data www-data 4096 May 30 21:39 .
[04:57] <cknox> drwxr-xr-x 13 root     root     4096 May 30 21:39 ..
[04:57] <cknox> oops
[04:57] <goddard> how can i watch all my subscriptions from youtube with something like VLC instead of flash?
[04:57] <cknox> drwxrwsr-x  3 root     www-data 4096 May 30 21:54 public
[04:57] <zhanger> that would make sense cknox, because that means users in the group www-data can modify it
[04:57] <zhanger> notice how /www is drwxr-xr-x  while /public is drwxrwsr-x
[04:58] <zhanger> so i guess you probably would want chmod -R 775 www
[04:58] <cknox> probably
[04:58] <chu> goddard: You'd need something likei `minitube' (I think is the name?) or `youtube-dl'
[04:58] <cknox> ok, i'll try that in the morning, I've got to sleep or i'll be useless tomorrow
[04:58] <zhanger> good luck :)
[05:08] <nydel> how do i wanna go about setting up a USB controller? it's a vestax device meant to control virtual turntables, the vci-100. but i think i just need to know how to start, i've not tried this before.
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> nydel: run:   lsusb   use the 8 character hex id to find guides#
[05:10] <nydel> ActionParsnip: trying that now, thank you
[05:11] <nydel> ActionParsnip: you mean just look up the hex id on giggle or something like that?
[05:11] <zhanger> google, i would assume ;p
[05:12] <nydel> zhanger: i don't like to spell it like that because i don't want them to know i'm talking about them in case they're watching, they're always watching
[05:12] <chu> lol
[05:12] <zhanger> nydel: haha
[05:12] <nydel> ActionParsnip: is there a way i can run something that'll output the signals being sent by the usb device?
[05:12] <UberschallSamsar> i think my upgrade installation of 12.04 got botched.  at the point in the install process where it said "we're going to do a post install cleanup now.  close all your open apps so you don't lose anything" i did an alt-tab to see if i actually had any other apps open, and the install window just ... disappeared.  since i didn't know how to even get a terminal at that point, i hit reset.  it...
[05:12] <UberschallSamsar> ...seems to be running ok except that hibernate is hit or miss.  any way to repair an installation or at least this issue?
[05:13] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: to get a terminal, ctrl-alt-t
[05:13] <rufsketch1> Hello everyone. My mic port doesn't seem to work.
[05:13] <rufsketch1> alsamixer says nothing is muted
[05:13] <rufsketch1> can anyone help?
[05:14] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: just run updates from launcher, do a check & install everything.
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> nydel: possibly, not sure. If you can make a device out of it (one you get drivers) then I don't see why not
[05:14] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: you can also get a terminal by pressing ctrl-alt-f2 -- you'll need to press ctrl-alt-f7 to get back to xwindows.
[05:14] <UberschallSamsar> nydel: hmm i think i have done that a few times (this botched install was a few weeks ago).  i update maybe once a week
[05:15] <reisio> rufsketch1: your 3.5mm microphone in?
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> rufsketch1: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[05:15] <rufsketch1> reisio, yes.
[05:15] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: what goes wrong during suspension, you said suspend was hit-or-miss?
[05:15] <reisio> rufsketch1: the pink one
[05:15] <rufsketch1> resio yes
[05:15] <UberschallSamsar> sometimes it will hibernate and sometimes it just seems to hang and i have to hit reset.  i haven't yet identified what's different between a good and bad attempt
[05:15] <nydel> ActionParsnip: riiight, i need to make it a device. okay i'll get to work on this thank you, helpful as always.
[05:15] <reisio> rufsketch1: in alsamixer, did you hit TAB to see everything?
[05:16] <cntb> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306561 I guess typical FOSS problem - on many ubuntu versions skype has mic not working
[05:16] <UberschallSamsar> but i also have this problem under windows from time to time (hibernate and/or standby will just hang)
[05:16] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: as in you can't get the system to wake up?
[05:16] <UberschallSamsar> *(i.e. have this problem under both OSes on the same box)
[05:16] <rufsketch1> ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=db677eb86b5e3a7d07165c088ac13620e5a54d72
[05:16] <rufsketch1> reisio, yes
[05:17] <UberschallSamsar> nydel: no, as in i tell it to suspend or hibernate and the process hangs.  i just have a blank screen on ubunte (with a blinking cursor) or on windows i get login screen and it says "preparing to suspend" forever
[05:17] <samba35> after upgrade some package (apt-get upgrade ) mouse doesnt work (as system hang) but if i use super (window) key then i am able to access mouse  why is it so any idea ?
[05:17] <mangdood_> sane doesn't seem to detect my scanner, what can I do?

[05:18] <rufsketch1> reisio, yes
[05:18] <cntb> or am I wrong? other recording software wont record sond from mic either gnome-sound-recorder
[05:18] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: this might be a defective hardware issue, as it's happening on the good OS & the bad one.
[05:18] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: i'm just joking, windows is a fine os.
[05:19] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: best i can say is to avoid hibernation/suspension.
[05:19] <UberschallSamsar> it could be but what is suspicious is that ubuntu could hibernate just fine until the botched 12.04 upgrade.  and btw, WTF on it just blowing away its install window just because i hit alt-tab.  that is cruel and unusual.
[05:19] <reisio> rufsketch1: vaio?
[05:20] <rufsketch1> reisio, yes
[05:20] <UberschallSamsar> in addition to WTF on me having to re-edit my grub.conf every single fscking time i accept an upgrade.
[05:20] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: i'm sorry your upgrade experience wasn't as pleasant as it should have been
[05:20] <reisio> rufsketch1: TT?
[05:20] <tohuw> In Byobu 5, is it possible to specify default windows when using the tmux backend? I can't seem to get results from populating #BYOBU_CONFIG_DIR/windows :(
[05:20] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: i suggest backing up your grub.conf
[05:20] <rufsketch1> reisio, what is TT?
[05:21] <AngryBlackGuy> whats the german offtopic channel?
[05:21] <reisio> rufsketch1: part of the model name for some vaio laptops
[05:21] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: did you check the forums.ubuntu.com to see if this problem has occurred for others? it sounds very frustrating.
[05:21] <rufsketch1> reisio, model PCG-71913L

[05:24] <reisio> rufsketch1: nope, got what I wanted
[05:24] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: you can search the forums for keyword "suspend" & there are a lot of threads. sorry it's not very possible to help with this issue from here, but someone may have already figured it out.
[05:25] <UberschallSamsar> nydel: thx will look around.  again the issue only popped up after botched upgrade and as i said subsequent updates did not seem to fix it.
[05:25] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: good luck. also, next time you're doing an upgrade, make sure everything is killed. that will increase the likeliness of a clean upgrade.
[05:25] <UberschallSamsar> i was 99% sure everything was but i did an alt-tab to make sure and IMO that shouldn't kill the freaking install window.  that's a bug.
[05:25] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: it's not your fault, but linux can be fragile, just as any OS can - we have to be very careful when upgrading. i've killed many a system because i just HAD to check my email while upgrading.
[05:25] <bdkbdk> I just upgraded from to Unity and I have (I hope) a simple question. I create a bunch of Terminals using the Launcher and Minimize them. How do I restore them? If I click the Terminal icon on the Launcher, only 1 of the Terminals is restored. Using alt-tab, I was somehow able to un-minimize two of them. But I need to be able to un-minimize any of them.
[05:25] <rufsketch1> reisio, is he going to make it, doctor?
[05:26] <reisio> rufsketch1: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/168960#comment-5 maybe
[05:26] <reisio> rufsketch1: ?
[05:26] <UberschallSamsar> yeah i know but i wasn't checking email and i had shut everything down already.  i was just double checking.  not starting any new programs.  that should not result in the install window disappearing.
[05:27] <UberschallSamsar> not bitching at you personally nydel btw
[05:27] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: i would think of the window switcher as an application & alt-tab as launching it.
[05:27] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: but you're right, it shouldn't have made the install window vanish.
[05:28] <UberschallSamsar> well here's hoping ubuntu doesn't let basic stuff like this suffer for the sake if adding eye candy
[05:28] <UberschallSamsar> if = of
[05:29] <nydel> UberschallSamsar: trust me i & many others are on the front lines every day trying to keep that from happening, so please feel very heard on that issue.
[05:29] <rufsketch1> reisio, will let you know in a few minutes
[05:29] <UberschallSamsar> nydel: appreciated
[05:29] <reisio> Ubuntu's upgrade process needs some work
[05:30] <UberschallSamsar> reisio: +1
[05:30] <nydel> yep reisio
[05:30] <nydel> or unity3d in general does.
[05:31] <reisio> if the upgrade process were done right it wouldn't matter if X crashed
[05:31] <nydel> good point reisio
[05:31] <reisio> talking about downloading files and moving them about
[05:31] <nydel> but also if x didn't crash more upgrades would go right. still the problem source is upgrade
[05:31] <graingert_> heya
[05:31] <reisio> :D
[05:32] <reisio> graingert_: hi
[05:32] <graingert_> text_color_nicks 1
[05:33] <graingert_> so
[05:33] <samba35> what is difference in terminal and xterminal
[05:33] <sulaiman> Greetings
[05:33] <graingert_> awesome
[05:33] <sulaiman> I am just exploring cronjobs
[05:33] <sulaiman> There is a php script that I want to run daily
[05:34] <bdkbdk>  I just upgraded from to Unity and I have (I hope) a simple question. I create a bunch of Terminals using the Launcher and Minimize them. How do I restore them? If I click the Terminal icon on the Launcher, only 1 Launcher, only 1 of the Terminals is restored. Using alt-tab, I was somehow able to un-minimize two of them. But I need to be able to un-minimize any of them. How do you unminimize Terminals in Unity?
[05:34] <nydel> sulaiman it's spelled "perl" not "php"
[05:34] <nydel> sulaiman: bad joke. go on...
[05:34] <sulaiman> nydel, oh okay :P. so I was wondering, would the right way be to set up a cronjob that calls curl to access my php script?
[05:35] <nydel> bdkbdk: alt+~
[05:35] <rufsketch1> reisio, That did the trick. Thanks.
[05:35] <rufsketch1> reisio, Now I can learn guitar :D
[05:35] <nydel> bdkbdk: alt+tab goes between apps, alt+~ goes between windows of an app.
[05:36] <nydel> bdkbdk: remember you can open terminal tabs from the file menu.
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> bdkbdk: I think if you alt+tab to the terminal then just hold alt - it will expand and you can see the terminals
[05:37] <nydel> ActionParsnip's not wrong bdkbdk
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> bdkbdk: can I suggest you use guake, it supports tabs and is a great replacement for gnome-terminal :)
[05:37] <UberschallSamsar> thanks again nydel
[05:37] <nydel> sulaiman: you have to download the php script?
[05:38] <Darael> nydel; bdkbdk: It's actually the key above tab, whatever that happens to be in the current keyboard layout.  For example, for me it's alt+$.
[05:38] <reisio> rufsketch1: uwheeeeee
[05:38] <reisio> rufsketch1: protip: learn more than two chords
[05:38] <nydel> Darael: is that right? great to know thank you
[05:38] <bdkbdk> Thanks, alt-~ works great!
[05:39] <nydel> bdkbdk: there are other things you should know about keyboard globals, in system settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts -- you will find a lot of them useful & can customize them to your liking.
[05:39] <sulaiman> nydel, no, it's on my local web server
[05:39] <sulaiman> nydel, I just need to execute it daily
[05:40] <mangdood_> Does anyone know about libusb?

[05:40] <reisio> mangdood_: good
[05:40] <rufsketch1> reisio, I may go all the way up to 3.
[05:41] <reisio> rufsketch1: nice
[05:41] <mangdood_> reisio: Meaning?
[05:41] <rufsketch1> reisio, do you have any experience with jack?
[05:41] <reisio> you'll have one more than RATM had

[05:41] <rufsketch1> reisio, ah, okay. I'm trying to figure out how to route mic directly to speakers
[05:41] <nydel> sulaiman: 30 23 * * * /wherever/the/php/script/is.php
[05:42] <nydel> sulaiman: that will run it at 2330 / 11:30pm
[05:42] <subhojit777> i have a tpl.php file. that file uses a variable called $action_link, but i cant find that variable in any other file. how do i understand how a tpl file fetches the value of a php variable? i am new to this tpl file thing in drupal
[05:42] <sulaiman> nydel, so to run it at 8:00am, i would use 00 08 * * * /my/path/to/script.php ?
[05:43] <sulaiman> thanks nydel
[05:43] <nydel> sulaiman: perfect
[05:43] <nydel> sulaiman: yw
[05:43] <subhojit777> sorry wrong channel..
[05:50] <ActionParsnip> sulaiman: do you have a desktop UI?
[05:50] <sulaiman> ActionParsnip, yes..

[06:18] <reisio> mangdood_: 'Brother' is the make :)
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> mangdood_: hit the brother site, they make Linux drivers
[06:18] <mangdood_> reisio: I've been looking at a HOW-TO for Sane, which is why I mentioned the libusb earlier
[06:18] <mangdood_> ActionParsnip: Last time I checked, they only had the driver for the printer, but not the scanner. I'll check again
[06:19] <cntb> ok ActionParsnip  sudoed and chmoded
[06:19] <mbucko> also my recovery mode for ubuntu is gone.. any idea how to get it back?
