[00:00] <sirriffsalot> In ubuntu 12.04 whenever I put some new music in my mp3-player via usb, the files have been put over and I try to eject/unmount it, and it tells me it has to write the data to it and not to remove it... but how do I know when to actually remove it? I just wait 10 sec and remove it and it seems to work
[00:00] <csgeek> not all contribution have to come from programmers
[00:00] <NBG757> csgeek from the bottom left and
[00:00] <Jonii_> jrkirby: are you sure it does not install? I use live usb drive on USB 1.0 slot, it takes 5-10 minutes for it to lead
[00:00] <Jonii_> load*
[00:01] <jrkirby> i waited at least 5 minutes with the cd
[00:01] <jrkirby> should I have waited longer? it gave me a black screen
[00:01] <wylde_> !nomodeset | jrkirby
[00:01] <Jonii_> black screen sounds like a more difficult problem than just a long load time

[00:14] <eagle_eye> joe3377: do you have permissions
[00:14] <mcphail> eagle_eye: his permissions seem ok
[00:14] <joe3377> mcphail: thanks for your time. this file really is a bad one..
[00:14] <joe3377> eagle_eye: yes i do
[00:14] <SolarisBoy> mcphail: he doesn't have a ro disk does he?
[00:14] <mcphail> joe3377: typing "<esc>q!<enter>" will quit vim
[00:14] <SolarisBoy> that would do about the same thing also
[00:15] <mcphail> SolarisBoy: no, "mount" reports "rw"
[00:15] <SolarisBoy> hrmm
[00:16] <kkimlabs> Q: is there any easy way to run an application in a sandbox? (restricting read/write on certain dirs) without root and kernel modification
[00:16] <reisio> kkimlabs: there are many approaches
[00:17] <SolarisBoy> chroot
[00:17] <mcphail> joe3377: just a thought - is the root filesystem mounted from a USB stick or SD card with the write-protect tab on?
[00:17] <reisio> kkimlabs: the most traditional is called a chroot jail
[00:17] <kkimlabs> SolarisBoy, I think that requires root
[00:17] <SolarisBoy> not really like if you do it under your home - but if you want a full chroot with mounted devs and such yea
[00:18] <suprbly> got flash to work
[00:18] <Biafra> blah... damn b43 driver
[00:18] <kkimlabs> SolarisBoy, oh I didn't know that, but "chroot ~/Downloads/" gives me  "chroot: cannot change root directory to /home/kkb110/Downloads/: Operation not permitted". what did I do wrong?
[00:18] <suprbly> had to manually unistall and manually install
[00:19] <joe3377> mcphail: i can't tell for sure if my provider is trolling me, but it's supposed to be a dedicated root server with an HDD, which contains the os. as i said, it was possible to mod the file a while ago, as i can still mod the other files in the directory
[00:19] <suprbly> damn you ubuntu for all the symb links to flash
[00:19] <reisio> suprbly: shouldn't have to manually install flash
[00:19] <SolarisBoy> not sure - now that i think of it you may need root to do some things
[00:19] <suprbly> you would think sir
[00:19] <mcphail> joe3377: ok - well I'm beat. Goodnight and good luck
[00:19] <NBG757> i would think sir
[00:19] <suprbly> it would not work
[00:20] <joe3377> mcphail: good night, thanks again
[00:20] <suprbly> not sure what the deal was but its running finenow
[00:20] <Biafra> it won't connect to my hotspot in Ubuntu (and yes, I have firmware, and have tried the solution in http://j.mp/Omuw07)
[00:20] <SolarisBoy> kkimlabs: what are you wanting to sandbox?
[00:20] <eagle_eye> joe3377: i don't think you have the right permissions on the file
[00:20] <crazypete> how do I find the packages that are dependent on unity-2d?
[00:21] <eagle_eye> Biafra: nice nick!
[00:21] <Biafra> eagle_eye, thanks
[00:22] <eagle_eye> ;iafra: what's the motivation?
[00:22] <eagle_eye> Biafra*
[00:22] <kkimlabs> SolarisBoy, I'm planning to make a linux game, but not open sourced, and since user cannot trust 100% the code, I want to provide a simple way to execute it in a a sandboxed environment.
[00:22] <SolarisBoy> crazypete: maybe this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-debian-package-management-cheat-sheet.html
[00:22] <suprbly> however flash is a little jittery
[00:22] <bazhang> !ot | eagle_eye
[00:22] <Biafra> eagle_eye, boredom from history class twelve years ago
[00:23] <Biafra> back to my problem
[00:23] <eagle_eye> ahh
[00:23] <SolarisBoy> kkimlabs: i see - i guess it is pretty vague
[00:23] <Biafra> my bcm4318-based wifi will not connect
[00:23] <SolarisBoy> it depends on what you are needing to sandbox? i mean logically speaking it sounds like that itself requires root no? how would the game then access resources on the system from the sanbox that weren't owned by the user?
[00:23] <eagle_eye> !broadcom | Biafra
[00:24] <SolarisBoy> maybe you can run it in some sort of light virtual or something? like qemu? not sure what it requires
[00:24] <Jonii_> I found an interesting bug, by the way
[00:24] <NBG757> me a black screen sounds like that itself requires root
[00:24] <kkimlabs> SolarisBoy, itself wouldn't require root, but still can be dangerous, e.g. transmitting ~/.ssh/ to the hacker
[00:25] <Biafra> eagle_eye, the issue is not there (I have the firmware installed on there thanks to some quick cell-tethering)
[00:25] <Jonii_> I made a new user for my Zenbook laptop. That user could not do 4 finger tap, it was interpreted as 3 finger tap
[00:25] <Biafra> it can find hotspots, but will not connect to them
[00:25] <Jonii_> I could do that 4 finger tap. Seems that logging out and back in fixed the problem, but I have no idea what could have caused this
[00:25] <SolarisBoy> i can understand that.. its normal - but i mean everyone else doesn't sandbox due to that...
[00:26] <kkimlabs> yeah right, and that's probably ok, since most linux programs are open sourced
[00:26] <SolarisBoy> right
[00:27] <kkimlabs> but I'm not planning to open source, and I think,. if I were a user, I would worry that possibility
[00:27] <Relondo> I need to mount Ubuntu to a specific partition. However, when I go to select the partition in the Ubuntu installer, it says "No root system defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu."  I just do not understand why I should f with all these single packages when there are meta packages and a package manager. The system seems broken and missmanaged by id10Ts whos hobby is to fiddle with one package at a time.
[00:28] <eagle_eye> Relondo: root partition is /
[00:28] <SolarisBoy> crazypete: i didn't say you were =)
[00:28] <Relondo> (By the way, I'm trying to mount it to a partition created from a previous failed Ubuntu installation, during which someone closed the lid of my laptop :/)
[00:29] <SolarisBoy> was just referencing a link i once used for the same
[00:29] <Relondo> eagle_eye: Okay. So can you help me?
[00:29] <SolarisBoy> i actually rather like the way deps work on debian systems
[00:29] <NBG757> to work
[00:29] <SolarisBoy> compared to others...
[00:30] <eagle_eye> Relondo: create the partition...select / as root and mount ubuntu on it
[00:30] <Relondo> eagle_eye: 1) The partition already exists. 2) I don't have the faintest idea how to do that.
[00:30] <Relondo> eagle_eye: Sorry, but I really need step-by-step instructions.
[00:31] <eagle_eye> !partitions | Relondo
[00:31] <Relondo> eagle_eye: I just got a 404 error from that link.
[00:32] <Relondo> eagle_eye: All I need to know is how to mount Ubutnu to the partition created by the previous failed install. Can you just walk me through that?
[00:32] <Relondo> *Ubuntu
[00:36] <Jordan_U> Relondo: Select the parititon, click the "change" button, select the "mountpoint" option, choose '/'.
[00:36] <eagle_eye> Relondo: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/installation-guide/i386/howto-installation.html
[00:36] <Jordan_U> Relondo: Make *absolutely sure* that "format partiiton" is *not* selected (unless you want to lose all the data currently on the paritition, in which case it's fine for it to be selected).
[00:37] <Relondo> Jordan_U: I want all the data to be erased. But thanks.
[00:37] <Jordan_U> How can I add a label to a line in Dia? I'm making a flow chart with conditionals and I need to label the arrows with "yes" or "no".
[00:39] <arand> crazypete: Either use "apt-cache rdepends" or install and use "apt-rdepends" (said to be more accurate).
[00:41] <Relondo> Jordan_U: Yep, that worked. Thanks a bunch.

[00:44] <KRomo> can i get help running a .run? i want to install new nvidiadriver but no ppa for it yet
[00:46] <Ansikt> So, 'modprobe ndiswrapper' hasn't returned control of my shell for about 10 minutes.
[00:47] <Ansikt> It also isn't responding to control-c, which is SIGINT, right?
[00:47] <Ansikt> What does this mean?  Should I SIGKILL?
[00:47] <SolarisBoy> KRomo: .run files are generally just ran like scripts, chmod +x <scriptfile.run> and ./<scriptfile.run> || but there should be some srt of read me present also
[00:49] <SolarisBoy> Ansikt: maybe try killall -9 modprobe in another window? sometimes drivers do things in the kernel that are not easy to kill
[00:49] <SolarisBoy> i've seen boxes be hung on reboot commands on the same accord depending on the the state of teh driver or whatever is attempting thats stuck

[00:59] <rage_311> DURING the upgrade, that is.

[01:01] <lilred> laptop has internet, wired connection set to "share with other", but the desktop is having trouble connecting
[01:02] <holmescn> lilred: I think a better way is to make you laptop a router.
[01:02] <lilred> holmescn: how do I do that?
[01:03] <Ansikt> SolarisBoy:  Kill -9 did nothing D;
[01:03] <holmescn> lilred: You need to google it for details.

I tried using btrfs while mirroring a website, and it's just gawd awful...  But then again that partition was originally intended to house virtual machines...
[01:40] <OerHeks> u4ia74, how is this related to ubuntu?
[01:40] <escott> u4ia74, #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place to ask
[01:41] <mrgt_> if I type lsusb it doesn't appear to be listing the printer
[01:42] <u4ia74> Sorry, they're ubuntu supported filesystems.  Didn't know where else to ask.
[01:42] <cobalt237> Can anyone help me parse a boot_info_script output for a startup error I'm having?  http://pastebin.com/d4BNQ4Fh
[01:43] <cobalt237> I'm getting a "target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init" and heard boot_info_script can provide some useful info
[01:44] <OerHeks> u4ia74, well, btrfs is in experimental, so i suggest ext4
[01:44] <escott> cobalt237, "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'" weird..... have you fsck'ed /dev/sda1
[01:44] <cobalt237> escott: I came home and was receiving this error on bootup
[01:45] <cobalt237> escott: Are you asking if I accidentally screwed things up by running fsck or if I have already run it to debug the problem?
[01:45] <escott> cobalt237, and boot_info_script is the wrong tool. you are booting it just cant find init
[01:46] <escott> cobalt237, it sounds like you need to run fsck
[01:46] <cobalt237> escott: Just like this? fsck /dev/sda1
[01:46] <escott> cobalt237, yes
[01:48] <cobalt237> escott: It gave me a whole bunch of "clearing orphaned inode" messages and said it was clean
[01:48] <mrgt_> anyone able to help me figure out why I can't see my printer when I use the lsusb command?
[01:48] <escott> cobalt237, can you mount it?
[01:48] <Baribal> Hi. How can I customize the dock?
[01:49] <OerHeks> mrgt_, is the hp printer turned on?
[01:50] <walkkenn> Hi, I am having some problems with my installation.  The cursor freezes and then the screen goes black and I have to reboot.  Maya/64bit - Ubuntu 12.  I have reviewed my Xorg.0.log and can't find anything (http://pastebin.com/Uss9AmY906/).  However, I have found 3 or 4 problems in my kernel log (http://pastebin.com/nRS5R9eS06/).  Could someone give me a hand?
[01:50] <cobalt237> escott: Do I need to provide multiple flags or should mount /dev/sda1 do it?
[01:50] <escott> cobalt237, just mount /dev/sda1 /whatever/mountpoint/you/want
[01:50] <sirriffsalot_> The command "sudo chmod -R 775 /home/xxx/Documents" doesn't seem to work as I continuously have to put a new document there as sudo...
[01:50] <mrgt_> OerHeks, of course.
[01:51] <cobalt237> escott: doing "mount /dev/sda1 /test" says mount point /test does not exist
[01:51] <ki4ro> Is there a way to manage virtual memory in Ubuntu?
[01:51] <NBG757> ki4ro : there are many approaches
[01:51] <escott> sirriffsalot_, (a) you shouldnt need sudo with chmod, only with chown. (b) you need to change your umask or (c) setuid/setgid on the folder
[01:51] <escott> cobalt237, then mkdir /test
[01:52] <ki4ro> NBG757: Where should I start?
[01:52] <cobalt237> escott: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'
[01:52] <sirriffsalot_> escott, that was a lot of new things..
[01:52] <NBG757> i need to mount ubuntu on it
[01:52] <sirriffsalot_> escott, I need sudo when root is the owner lol:P
[01:52] <bazhang> NBG757, is there a way to test that bot
[01:53] <sirriffsalot_> escott, would you mind explaining how to do those things then..?:)
[01:53] <escott> sirriffsalot_, why does root own files in your folder?
[01:54] <cobalt237> escott: Did I somehow lose ext4 support?
[01:54] <mrgt_> so after clarifying that the printer is turned on and still not showing using lsusb, is anyone able to help me?
[01:54] <escott> cobalt237, that doesnt make any sense, unless you are running ubuntu 01.04 or something
[01:54] <cobalt237> escott: I'm running on slax right now
[01:54] <escott> cobalt237, maybe you didnt compile ext4 support into the kernel, or maybe its a ridiculously old kernel
[01:54] <cobalt237> I couldn't get my OS booted, so following a ubuntu thread, I downloaded slax to run the boot info script
[01:54] <escott> cobalt237, i guess for ext4 it wouldnt have to be that old, but still OLD...
[01:55] <bazhang> is there a way to test for bot
[01:55] <escott> cobalt237, 2008 or earlier
[01:55] <sirriffsalot_> escott, no idea..
[01:55] <Yankees52> how do i get gimp 2.8?
[01:55] <escott> Yankees52, find a ppa, compile it yourself, or wait
[01:56] <bazhang> Yankees52, why do you need it
[01:56] <ki4ro> NBG757: Where should I start?
[01:56] <Yankees52> new version and also single window!
[01:56] <sirriffsalot_> escott, my home folder is owned by the user (sirriffsalot)... but I moved the files within with "sudo cp -rp" so I have no idea..
[01:56] <bazhang> ki4ro, it was a bot
[01:56] <sirriffsalot_> escott, can you help me fix this?
[01:56] <escott> sirriffsalot_, why would you move files with sudo?
[01:56] <ki4ro> bazhang: thanks
[01:57] <Biafra> okay... nothing is working with my b43 card
[01:57] <sirriffsalot_> escott, because otherwise a few files could not be moved. But I did -recursive preserve, so they should not be this way
[01:57] <sirriffsalot_> escott, can you help me or not??
[01:57] <Biafra> I've tried using the b43 drivers, the STA drivers, and ndiswrapper
[01:57] <escott> sirriffsalot_, i think you are in the "i dont understand how things are working so I'm throwing sudo into the mix pattern" which means that now you have sudo problems on top of your original problem
[01:57] <Biafra> this is being very off because this USED TO WORK
[01:58] <cobalt237> escott: That's interesting.  I was running 12.04 without any problems
[01:58] <sirriffsalot_> escott, nvm, I'll spend more time finding out myself
[01:58] <escott> sirriffsalot_, so first you should "sudo chown -R username:username ~/Desktop" and anywhere else in your home directory that you have used sudo cp into
[01:58] <escott> sirriffsalot_, that will change ownership so that the files are yours
[01:58] <Minorminer> not change
[01:59] <cobalt237> escott: I'm not super familiar with the filesystem, but looking at the boot info, does not deteching the MBR on sda1 pose a problem?
[01:59] <fishcooker> which kernel for 12.04 lifecycle
[01:59] <fishcooker> ?
[01:59] <escott> cobalt237, no the bootloader is on the MBR
[01:59] <xangua> !info linux | fishcooker
[01:59] <Minorminer> i need some help running a community of linux users
[02:00] <escott> cobalt237, by definition the MBR cannot be on a partition, but you do not have the "i put the bootloader on the PBR problem" your bootloader looks good
[02:00] <cobalt237> escott: Hrmm, where can I go from here?
[02:00] <escott> cobalt237, but you need to get a system that can mount your ext4 to be able to properly fix it. so get an ubuntu livecd and use it
[02:01] <OerHeks> Minorminer, community software running on ubuntu?
[02:02] <mrgt_> urgh maybe I'll move back to windows if I can't add a printer.
[02:02] <fishcooker> xangua: how to upgrade kernel 3 to 10.04 safely?
[02:03] <xangua> !kernel | fishcooker
[02:03] <cobalt237> escott: Cool, I'll give that a shot and come back.  Would it just involve rerunning fsck on it and trying to mount it?
[02:04] <bazhang> is there a way to test for bot
[02:04] <escott> cobalt237, yes. im a little scared that fsck even ran on the filesystem when the kernel doesnt support that variant. but i would rerun fsck and double check that the filesystem looks the way it should
[02:04] <escott> bazhang, what doe you mean?
[02:04] <sirriffsalot_> escott, thank you.:)
[02:04] <xangua> !test | bazhang
[02:04] <xangua> test a bot¿¿ botwar¿¿
[02:04] <bazhang> escott, checking minorminer for bothood
[02:05] <escott> sirriffsalot_, if you have some folder you cant move files out of ask the channel, don't go dumping sudo in front of everything that gives you trouble
[02:05] <sirriffsalot_> escott, shall do, appreciate your time!
[02:06] <fishcooker> is there any issue that kernel 3.x draws more power consumption rather than 2.6.x?
[02:07] <OerHeks> fishcooker, most powerissues are solved in 3.2.x, so upgrade to 12.04
[02:07] <fishcooker> im on 10.04
[02:08] <fishcooker> would that be useful?
[02:10] <OerHeks> fishcooker, it is up to you, 10.04 is supported untill april 2013
[02:10] <fishcooker> i mean should i upgrade to 3.x kernel?
[02:10] <bazhang> fishcooker, on 10.04?
[02:11] <escott> fishcooker, do you have some reason to want a newer kernel?
[02:11] <escott> fishcooker, something that isnt working?
[02:11] <bazhang> fishcooker, upgrade version to get the newer kernel
[02:12] <KRomo> can i get help running a .run? i want to install new nvidiadriver but no ppa for it yet
[02:13] <fishcooker> i want to save the battery consumption actually escott
[02:13] <fishcooker> KRomo: chmod +x *.run
[02:13] <fishcooker> then ./*.run
[02:13] <sacarlson1> fishcooker: I'm not in full agreement with bazhung as if you upgrade the kernel to 3.X in version 10.04 and find you have problems it's easy to go back to the working kernel, not so easy to go back to 10.04 if upgraded to 12.04
[02:13] <KRomo> ok
[02:14] <fishcooker> sacarlson1: is it rite that 12.04 consume more power than 10.04
[02:14] <fishcooker> ?
[02:14] <escott> fishcooker, i would install powertop, but excessive power usage is usually and acpi issue so unless you know that there is some kind of acpi fix i'm not sure to what extent you will see substantially better performance
[02:14] <KRomo> it says it must be run in root
[02:15] <sacarlson1> fishcooker: I don't know about the power, you can easily try it for yourself and find out
[02:15] <fishcooker> then sudo it
[02:15] <KRomo> now it says You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before
[02:15] <KRomo>          installing.
[02:16] <escott> KRomo, then logout of your X server. be advised if you install this manually you may have to do this every time you get a new kernel
[02:16] <KRomo> so would it be best to at for it to hit sw manager?
[02:16] <KRomo> wait
[02:17] <escott> KRomo, jockey is the recommended way
[02:18] <KRomo> why does it take so long for it to hit ubuntu ppa?
[02:18] <subcool> could someone help me- somehow during an update. my system decided to die..
[02:18] <subcool> now when i try to do sudo, it says i am not apart of the sudoers file
[02:18] <subcool> amoungst other things, but that is what worries me at the moment
[02:19] <sacarlson1> subcool: I think they changed the suders groups now have to add your user to suders instead of admin
[02:19] <sacarlson1> or it's sudo group?
[02:19] <walkkenn> is there a channel for beginner's help?
[02:20] <escott> sacarlson1, sudo group, but its supposed to work for people upgrading
[02:20] <subcool> sacarlson1, ok... um.. how might i do that quickly? :)
[02:20] <bazhang> walkkenn, here
[02:20] <glitsj16> KRomo: what version of the nvidia driver are you trying to install?
[02:22] <subcool> this upgrade also killed my network menu , although im connected via wire, it says im not
[02:22] <subcool> and i have no control over wireless
[02:22] <escott> subcool, you'll need to boot a livecd or rescue mode to fix anything, but you should look at the output of "groups" and see what the contents of the sudoers file is
[02:22] <subcool> escott, says im in there
[02:23] <escott> !pm | fishcooker and whatever version you are most comfortable with
[02:23] <escott> subcool, maybe pam broke
[02:23] <subcool> wouldnt be surprised.. i have having small issues when updating- somehow i ran out of room..
[02:23] <subcool> but at the same time.. it "finished" so i preformed autoremove,
[02:24] <subcool> for which the system then completed its update??
[02:24] <subcool> how do i fix this..
[02:24] <subcool> this is crazy
[02:24] <walkkenn> I have a new install of Maya/64 bit (unbuntu 12) sometimes the cursor freezes and I get a black screen, I need help troubleshooting it - I'm afraid I don
[02:24] <walkkenn> I'm afraid I don't have much experience
[02:24] <bazhang> walkkenn, what is maya
[02:25] <walkkenn> linux-mint 13 based on ubuntu 12.4
[02:25] <escott> !mint | walkkenn
[02:25] <bazhang> walkkenn, mint not supported here
[02:25] <subcool> wow- this thing is hurt...
[02:25] <gfdsg> I need some info on acessing the Ubuntu Software Center API @ http://software-center.ubuntu.com/api/2.0/   Does anybody here have experience with this or can direct me to someone that does?
[02:26] <escott> subcool, you have to be careful with autoremove
[02:26] <escott> subcool, i would chroot in from a livecd and see if you need to reinstall anything
[02:27] <subcool> i cant do that- but.. im not sure how what id have to fix etc..
[02:27] <subcool> let me get my liveusb- and get this started
[02:27] <subcool> i cant believe this broke
[02:28] <Skaperen> when the repository has a corrupt or truncated file, how should one report that?
[02:29] <WilsonStudioWeb> I'm able to pull 220 some software titles in JSON format from http://software-center.ubuntu.com/api/2.0/applications/en/ubuntu/precise/i386/ and I'm write a web interface for browsing. Sample here http://wilsonstudioweb.dyndns.org:8888/ubuntu.cfm   I need to know how to pull detail for individual programs.
[02:29] <bazhang> WilsonStudioWeb, software titles?
[02:29] <WilsonStudioWeb> what would be the API URL to return JSON format for this?
[02:29] <WilsonStudioWeb> yes
[02:30] <bazhang> WilsonStudioWeb, what are you trying to do there
[02:30] <bazhang> Skaperen, hash sum mismatch?
[02:30] <WilsonStudioWeb> err I do not need to know how. I need to know the proper URL. Can't find any documentation on this.
[02:31] <bazhang> WilsonStudioWeb, why and what are you trying to do
[02:31] <WilsonStudioWeb> Why, sample here on my dev server http://wilsonstudioweb.dyndns.org:8888/ubuntu.cfm
[02:31] <subcool> Ok I logged I'm on my phone
[02:32] <bazhang> WilsonStudioWeb, you want to mirror a repo? state clearly what you are trying to do
[02:32] <WilsonStudioWeb> I want to click a software title and pull application data for the title. To do this I need to have a sample URL for me to work from.
[02:32] <WilsonStudioWeb> sure, a minor repo
[02:32] <bazhang> WilsonStudioWeb, you want a webui for the usc then
[02:32] <subcool> So what am I supposed to do here again
[02:32] <tito_> /quit
[02:33] <subcool> How do I ch root my system
[02:33] <WilsonStudioWeb> I'm working on building a software site similar to android app center. or Tucows.
[02:33] <Dr_Willis> use the chroot command as needed you mean subcool ?
[02:33] <Skaperen> WilsonStudioWeb: there are no URLs in that JSON file?
[02:33] <escott> subcool, so sudo gives the not in the sudoers error, but groups lists you in a group listed in /etc/sudoers
[02:33] <WilsonStudioWeb> Except it is for ubuntu. There isn't hardly any out there for Ubuntu
[02:34] <subcool> Escott ya
[02:34] <Skaperen> WilsonStudioWeb: why not just download the repo index files and learn how to parse their format
[02:35] <escott> subcool, just "mount /dev/whatever /media/ubuntu" and then "sudo chroot /media/ubuntu" that will give you access as root, and you can su username to test things as your user
[02:35] <WilsonStudioWeb> Because there is obviously a web service out there. I'm already pulling from it. Just isn't any documentation on it.
[02:35] <subcool> I just logged in under live USB
[02:36] <Skaperen> WilsonStudioWeb: I didn't read docs for the Ubuntu repo index format ... I just looked and figured it out
[02:36] <Skaperen> JSON looks pretty simple
[02:36] <WilsonStudioWeb> http://wilsonstudioweb.dyndns.org:8888/ubuntu.cfm is already pulling from the webservice located at http://software-center.ubuntu.com/api/2.0/applications/en/ubuntu/precise/i386/
[02:36] <Skaperen> ubuntu repo != JSON ... but is also simple
[02:37] <WilsonStudioWeb> I don't need JSOn help I need proper URL
[02:37] <Skaperen> URL for one?  go through one example
[02:37] <WilsonStudioWeb> to retrieve the json
[02:37] <Skaperen> a URL per app?
[02:37] <subcool-liveusb> escott i really dont know what to do here, lol - i was working on two other things when this happened.
[02:37] <WilsonStudioWeb> yes
[02:37] <WilsonStudioWeb> per app to get the info
[02:38] <WilsonStudioWeb> on the app
[02:38] <Skaperen> I know they don't do that ... url per app
[02:38] <subcool-liveusb> not to do with ubuntu, but stuff. so i am not in the zone right now
[02:38] <subcool-liveusb> even in liveusb i have to mount the drive as something else?
[02:38] <Skaperen> there is no url per app in the report or software center
[02:38] <WilsonStudioWeb> http://software-center.ubuntu.com/api/2.0/applications/en/ubuntu/UBUNTU_RELEASE/CHIPSET/ will give me entire list but I want URL for individual software title
[02:38] <escott> subcool-liveusb, you have to mount it. then you can sudo chroot /that/mountpoint
[02:39] <WilsonStudioWeb> Hmmm, I find that hard to believe. I would think that there has to be but I could be wrong
[02:39] <Skaperen> WilsonStudioWeb: if you are making your own website, then make your own database
[02:39] <WilsonStudioWeb> lol
[02:39] <Skaperen> WilsonStudioWeb: there isn't a URL per app because that's not efficient
[02:40] <Skaperen> the software center app itself wants data in bulk, not piecemeal, so the design is not based on url per app
[02:40] <subcool-liveusb> jease- and i was just about to root my gf's phone- seriously? ugh
[02:40] <subcool-liveusb> i have webchat
[02:41] <Skaperen> the only URL per app is the actual package itself (e.g. the .deb files)
[02:41] <Skaperen> you want to download all the packages?
[02:41] <WilsonStudioWeb> I don't want to dowload anything. Just provide URLs for the downloads
[02:42] <WilsonStudioWeb> Just building a web interface for the app center moreless
[02:42] <Skaperen> you wan the URL of the .deb file so you can put it on a page where someone can click to download it
[02:42] <bazhang> packages.ubuntu.com   WilsonStudioWeb
[02:43] <subcool-liveusb> ok- well then how about i just find a way to fix my sudo's so i can update again or something- really cant try to fix this like crazy. idk what im doing- and.. its getting late..
[02:43] <bazhang> Skaperen, he wants to make an app store for ubuntu
[02:43] <Skaperen> the urls are in the package index files from the repo ... I have not look inside stuff at software center to know the schema there
[02:43] <bazhang> WilsonStudioWeb, I gave you the url, get them there
[02:43] <Skaperen> bazhang: download ubuntu apps, duplicate then, and make cheap pirate copies ... sounds like a plan
[02:44] <escott> subcool-liveusb, cant really tell you how to fix it until we figure out whats wrong
[02:44] <WilsonStudioWeb> Trying to create simplified interface for linux newbies who maybe have never tried Linux and are wondering what apps are out there maybe before they even install linux. Think simplified interface for newbie conversion
[02:44]  * Skaperen has an app store ... apt-get install
[02:44] <subcool-liveusb> escott: so i have to log back into normal user?
[02:44] <bazhang> WilsonStudioWeb, no one will install those untrusted packages from a 3rd party source
[02:45] <subcool-liveusb> ok- rebooting..
[02:45] <WilsonStudioWeb> Yeah, those ideas sound very easy for linux newbies. Perhaps partialy why it is so hard for Linux to gain popularity.
[02:45] <WilsonStudioWeb> sighs
[02:45] <Skaperen> WilsonStudioWeb: in other words, a "tour ubuntu software center before you decide to try ubuntu" website
[02:45] <bazhang> WilsonStudioWeb, the ubuntu software centre does that already
[02:45] <subcool-liveusb> i have no clue on how to fix this.. this is a bit beyond my dumb brain..
[02:45] <bazhang> WilsonStudioWeb, at any rate. good luck. lets take the chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic Now
[02:45] <Skaperen> he wants to do it online for people that have not decided yet to try ubuntu
[02:46] <WilsonStudioWeb> Correct, I know it does but it could be done better.
[02:46] <xangua> is there a way to Automate the audio output when i plugin a headphone or external speakers¿ right now when i do that, i still heard the sound in the internal speakes; i have to go to the audio preferences and Manualy change the output
[02:46] <WilsonStudioWeb> the interface that is
[02:46] <WilsonStudioWeb> frontend
[02:46] <Skaperen> #ubuntu-offtopic sounds good
[02:46] <bazhang> WilsonStudioWeb, yeah, this is not on topic any more
[02:47] <Skaperen> xangua: I would like something like that ... or better yet, the ability to click a box for "output to all output devices"
[02:48] <Skaperen> I'd like to output to my sound card and USB speakers and USB headset at the same time
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> xangua:  ive seen variations of that question asked all the time.  it does work tha tway with some hardware.  Not sure  why its such a tricky task.  Id bet theres dozens of forum threads and askubuntu.com questions on similer problems
[02:49] <Skaperen> say two people are at a computer and both want to hear the same audio in the USB headphones each wears
[02:50] <Ansikt> So, I've got a computer with two 'fake' hardware raid controllers, each with two harddrives attached.  I want to put all my disks in an LVM instead.  Can I just ignore the controllers, or do I have to do something special?
[02:50] <subcool> Escott, where do I begin
[02:51] <Skaperen> configure the controllers as JBOD
[02:51] <escott> subcool, how about "groups"
[02:51] <Ansikt> Skaperen:  How do I do that?  Do I need to change jumpers?
[02:51] <subcool> My user is in the groups, escott
[02:51] <Skaperen> I don't know because I don't know what you mean by 'fake'
[02:51] <escott> Ansikt, go into the bios (or however you setup the controllers) and disable the raid
[02:52] <Ansikt> escott:  That's just the thing.  Neither controller has a place in the bios.  One controller has its own pre-boot config utility, but not the other.
[02:53] <escott> Ansikt, shrug... you'll have to check the manual for your hardware
[02:54] <Ansikt> Skaperen:  A software controller on a sata controller.  One is this: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/peripherals/serial-ata_raid/vt6420/
[02:54] <Skaperen> why do you want to do LVM?
[02:54] <escott> Ansikt, i doubt that the kernel has any way to control the hardware
[02:54] <louis404> I am trying to run ANSYS 14.0 on Ubuntu 12.04. When I try to run the geometry editor within workbench I get the error: /usr/ansys_inc/v140/aisol/CommonFiles/linx64/ansyswbu.exe: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libXext.so.6: undefined symbol: _XGetRequest
[02:54] <Skaperen> that controller does not look 'fake'
[02:55] <escott> Skaperen, it is we looked it up yesterday
[02:55] <fishbait> i'm back tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and now lspci reports that both kernel driver and kernel module are running r8168 so good there but still no net on that machine
[02:55] <fishbait> i used th updated version
[02:55] <Ansikt> Skarperen:  The other is Promise Fasttrak PDC 20378
[02:56] <JustNull> Hmm... Im trying to lock a Chromium config file to prevent making changes but the rights to the file keeps changing
[02:56] <Skaperen> I have no idea how to configure specific controllers to operate in JBOD mode
[02:56] <subcool> Escott, should I delete then re add my user?, can I even do anything root
[02:57] <Ansikt> Skarperen:  I just want all my disks to appear as one.  I've also been told that those types of controllers are unreliable, but maybe that's just IRC talkin'.
[02:57] <Skaperen> some controllers use (usually proprietary) config headers on the hard drives, so if you move the hard drives over to another machine with the same controller, the same RAID config is in effect
[02:57] <escott> subcool, i dont know enough to tell you want to do. you havent really shown us anything
[02:57] <subcool_> escott even my kdeinnit crashes now during boot-
[02:58] <subcool_> escott- i dont know what to show you.. lol -
[02:58] <escott> subcool_, but it sounds like you have a lot of problems so you might just want to reinstall anyways
[02:58] <Skaperen> Ansikt: I don't know about reliability other than for Marvell controller chips ... if those board use Marvell chips, the the rumor are valid
[02:58] <escott> subcool_, "groups" for one
[02:58] <subcool_> escott ~$ groups
[02:58] <subcool_> subcool adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
[02:59] <subcool_> i cant reinstall- i was in the midst of backing things up when this all crashed..
[02:59] <Ansikt> Skaperen:  Right again, they are.
[02:59] <subcool_> i dont really have everything backed up as of now..
[02:59] <escott> Ansikt, there are a couple concerns: (a) absence of battery backup (b) proprietary firmware+binary blobs in kernel mode (c) proprietary on disk formats (d) absence of coprocessors for checksums
[03:00] <Skaperen> Ansikt: well, then it sounds like you will be having issues at times ... they are known to freeze up and require power cycle to clear ... even on Win7
[03:00] <escott> Ansikt, vs using mdadm which avoids (b) and (c) and gains by allowing the kernel to do raid at the VFS layer instead of lower down so performance might be improved
[03:00] <Skaperen> Ansikt: they do it more on Linux, probably because Linux drives them harder
[03:00] <fishbait> i'm back tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and now lspci reports that both kernel driver and kernel module are running r8168 so good there but still no net on that machine
[03:00] <subcool_> escott i just tried to report a crash, and it says kded isnt running or something
[03:01] <Skaperen> I've heard that Areca brand controllers are reliable and fast ... but also pricey ... available on newegg
[03:01] <fishbait>  i'm back tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and now lspci reports that both kernel driver and kernel module are running r8168 so good there but still no net on that machine, my lsmod http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036538/
[03:02] <Skaperen> but if you are trying to make things work with what you have, then you are limited to that
[03:02] <AssociateX> Hello Earthlings!
[03:03] <escott> subcool_, so groups looks ok for 11.10 and earlier. what is /etc/sudoers
[03:03]  * Skaperen plucks out one of AssociateX's head antennae ... looks fake
[03:04] <AssociateX> So what's up with the google-chrome crashing on cario? Is there a solution yet?
[03:04] <subcool_> escott, ~$ /etc/sudoers
[03:04] <subcool_> bash: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
[03:04] <escott> subcool_, you would have to open that as root from the chroot
[03:05] <subcool_> chroot /etc/soders?
[03:05] <Skaperen> subcool_: are you trying to execute that config file?
[03:05] <subcool_> Skaperen, ask escott
[03:05] <Ansikt> escott:  I don't think mdadm is an option, because the controllers are controlling disks of different sizes, and thus couldn't intermingle.
[03:05] <escott> subcool_, what happened to  sudo chroot /media/ubuntu in the livecd?
[03:05] <shadykhan> my window borders dissaperead
[03:06] <shadykhan> fastest way to get them back is?
[03:06] <Ansikt> subcool_, from root 'cat /etc/sudoers'
[03:06] <subcool_> escott, i didnt run it- u said to run things from the comp
[03:06] <Ansikt> Not just '/etc/sudoers'
[03:06] <escott> Ansikt, you could create partitions of the same size. and then mdadm between them. lvm is not really intended as a raid solution. its a partition virtualization tool
[03:06] <JustNull> shadykhan: Restart your windows manager?
[03:07] <shadykhan> justnull it stopped working when i started up steam :/
[03:07] <Ansikt> escott:  I'm also not trying to raid.  I don't really care about fault tolerence.
[03:07] <subcool_> Ansikt, sudo is busted
[03:07] <Ansikt> escott:  I just want to glob them together
[03:07] <escott> Ansikt, so you might see somebody take a bunch of big disks, and put one big partition on each of them, and then run LVM on top of the resulting raid array.
[03:07] <Ansikt> subcool_: are you on ubuntu?
[03:07] <subcool_> Ansikt, yes
[03:07] <escott> Ansikt, so you want JBOD? you can do JBOD with mdadm or with LVM
[03:08] <Ansikt> escott:  Yes, I do.  Mdadm does JBOD?  Which would you suggest?
[03:08] <Nicekiwi> hey.. ubuntu starts in low graphics mode.. help?
[03:08] <Ansikt> subcool_: restart and then do recovery mode/safestart.  Then select "login as root" or "singleuser mode" or somesuch.
[03:09] <Skaperen> Nicekiwi: which video card and chip?
[03:09] <subcool_> Ansikt, gotta be a lil more specific- sorry.. been a long time since i f'ed up linux like this
[03:09] <escott> Ansikt, im not too familiar with the pros and cons of JBOD options honestly
[03:09] <Nicekiwi> Skaperen: Nvidia 9600GT
[03:09] <subcool_> Ansikt, is there a recovery in grub?
[03:09] <Skaperen> Nicekiwi: how new is that?
[03:10] <brian__> tyt
[03:10] <Ansikt> escott: S'cool.  But either way, I still have to get rid of the raid controllers, somehow.
[03:10] <Skaperen> Nicekiwi: are you using the nvidia driver or nouveau ?
[03:10] <fishbait> i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and still no net connection various info http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036551/
[03:10] <Ansikt> subcool_:  It has a console, but an awful one.  After you let it boot in 'recovery mode', it should go to a selection of further options, all of which I think are outside GRUB.
[03:11] <wilee-nilee> subcool, what is your definition of a recovery,  linux recovery is different then a windows recovery.
[03:11] <Nicekiwi> Skaperen: 2008, i belive nouveau. The install is very new. I havnt install Nvidia drivers
[03:11] <subcool_> Ansikt, so-- i have to F8 to get there?
[03:11] <subcool_> i have never gone to recovery mode..
[03:11] <Skaperen> Nicekiwi: how does the LiveCD behave on that?
[03:11] <subcool_> i think there is an option in grub... ;?
[03:12] <Skaperen> Nicekiwi: 12.04 LiveCD that is
[03:12] <Nicekiwi> Skaperen: i removed most Unity packages and installed Gnome-session-fallback. But now on boot before login I has low graphics mode, which dosent even work. On boot CD and Live Install works gr8.
[03:12] <Skaperen> Nicekiwi: maybe removed one you should not have :-(
[03:13] <sobersabre> hi.
[03:13] <Ansikt> No.  At grub menu, move down to "Ubuntu Linux kernel x.x.xx (recovery mode)" or something
[03:13] <sobersabre> I'm installing ubuntu on a mac using "alternative" mac cd image.
[03:13] <Nicekiwi> Skaperen: maybe, i dont know what though.. :/ nothing serious was removed. Ive removed Unity before with no effects..
[03:13] <sobersabre> I cannot install grub onto the "freebsd-ufs" ("bios_grub") partition.
[03:13] <Ansikt> It'll be the same as the entry you normally use, but with "(recovery mode)" tacked on at the end
[03:13] <fishbait>  i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and still no net connection various info http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036551/ i should note it worked perfectly when connected to a non-Gigabit Ethernet router.
[03:14] <Skaperen> Nicekiwi: I've not tried removing Unity, yet ... I use Xubuntu and it doesn't need to have Unity removed
[03:14] <wilee-nilee> Nicekiwi, unity is on top of gnome removing is not a good idea to be honest, although some are going to do it anyway. You can get gnome only remixes.
[03:14] <sobersabre> that "freebsd-ufs" partition has 1MB big, and is located before my linux partitions.

[03:17] <wilee-nilee> I have the same nic on the forums Skaperen
[03:17] <Nicekiwi> Skaperen: its presenting me with the xconfig options, but refuses to accept user input. no keyboard or mouse support :/
[03:18] <wilee-nilee> Skaperen, I answer many threads so I don't remember exactly.
[03:18] <Skaperen> wilee-nilee: I saw other repo errors today, too ... seems to all be fixed now ... no idea what happened
[03:18] <fishbait> start with the simple stuff are they plugged in?
[03:18] <subcool_> Ansikt, what else do i do- because once i reboot, all i have is my phone...
[03:18] <Skaperen> wilee-nilee: grub failed to install because one of the packages had a persistent checksum error
[03:18] <wilee-nilee> Skaperen, you had the messed up sources.list and you used the web link to make a new one right.
[03:19] <wilee-nilee> Skaperen, I woold need a link, but it sounds like you are fixed.
[03:19] <Skaperen> not the sources.list thing (didn't see that one)
[03:19] <BlueHighwind> hi
[03:19] <Ansikt> subcool_  Oh, alright.  So, you can log in as your user, but you can't sudo to su?

[03:19] <BlueHighwind> I forgot I was even on
[03:19] <Ansikt>  subcool_:  Actually, have you tried just 'su'?
[03:20] <BlueHighwind> bye bye
[03:20] <Skaperen> yeah, seems fixed ... or else the bad server is offline if they are load balancing
[03:20] <Nicekiwi> How do I kill the X-server from console?
[03:20] <wilee-nilee> Skaperen, ah the qemu. ;)
[03:20] <escott> Nicekiwi, service lightdm stop
[03:20] <oryc> alt-control-f1
[03:20] <Skaperen> Nicekiwi: from text console?
[03:20] <Nicekiwi> Skaperen: yeah
[03:21] <Skaperen> init 3 I thinkg ... I'm not going to test it on mine

[03:22] <Skaperen> wilee-nilee: yes, it was in qemu ... and later I wired up a spare machine and it did it there once
[03:22] <fishbait> its still debian based learn debian and you gain powerful knowledge
[03:22] <Skaperen> ubottu: then he'll need another way ... I guess that's why I didn't remember the runlevel :)
[03:22] <Nicekiwi> Skaperen: it says Xserver is still running?
[03:23] <Skaperen> ok at escott
[03:23] <escott> Nicekiwi, service lightdm stop
[03:23] <Nicekiwi> escott: that dosnt work weither
[03:23] <Nicekiwi> either*
[03:23] <escott> Nicekiwi, gdm if its < 11.04
[03:23] <Nicekiwi> escott: Service: unknown instance
[03:23] <Nicekiwi> escott: its 12.04
[03:23] <subcool> Ansikt no I haven't tried su, but I don't think I set that up, idk. I just recovered this laptop. I'm backing everything up, when it crashed
[03:24] <Skaperen> I remember the classic way to stop X ... haven't need to stop in in the past several years
[03:24] <fishbait> ... i'm depressed did i provide tmi
[03:24] <Nicekiwi> Ctrl + Alt + backspace? :P
[03:24] <escott> Nicekiwi, 12.04 with ubuntu (not kubuntu or lubuntu or *ubuntu) and sudo service lightdm stop doesn't work?
[03:24] <Ansikt> Try just "su".  It'll be there.
[03:24] <oryc> ctrl+alt+f1
[03:24] <oryc> ctrl+alt+f2
[03:24] <Nicekiwi> escott: it does not work

[03:24] <escott> !work | Nicekiwi
[03:24] <kobas> hiii
[03:24] <Skaperen> Ctrl+Alt+Backspace will kill the X server itself, but it should restart
[03:24] <wilee-nilee> !reisub
[03:25] <wilee-nilee> Nicekiwi, read the bot ^^^^
[03:25] <Ansikt> subcool.:  Try just 'su', it should be there.
[03:25] <Nicekiwi> escott: Service: unknown instance <-- that is the output of 'sudo service lightdm stop' in ubuntu 12.04
[03:25] <Skaperen> heh ... the almighty SysRq
[03:25] <escott> Nicekiwi, what display manager are you using?
[03:26] <Skaperen> if X died and you need to take the machine down nicely, that SysRq is your last hope
[03:26] <escott> Nicekiwi, what variant of ubuntu did you install?
[03:26] <subcool_> Ansikt, ya,... wow- su works
[03:26] <Nicekiwi> escott: >:( UBUNTU 12.04
[03:26] <fishbait> HOLY CRAP THATS FLIPPIN AWESOME!

[03:27] <ekaj> Err,  I have a desktop, no idea what version of Ubuntu is on it, and when I turn it on I get a black screen with a lot of white bars before the login screen. There are options for a desktop look and the language... any idea how to identify what distro of ubuntu?

[03:28] <fishbait> srry little bit vulgar by social standards. i tend not to view cusswords as cussing unles used in such a way
[03:28] <escott> Nicekiwi, what shows when you run ps aux | grep dm or ps aux | grep X
[03:28] <ekaj> wilee-nilee it'll show the bar screen, and then will go to a login screen. Does that describe the same situation?

[04:01] <keepishop> I have a problem with /etc being read only in recovery mode.
[04:02] <keepishop> I want to edit rc.local
[04:02] <escott> subcool_, i havent been following what you were doing
[04:02] <ladweeba> is it possible to update a live ubuntu cd via internet?
[04:03] <fishbait> i'm no expert but when i hear random programs are being dumb my first thought is bad ram or bad hdd
[04:03] <Dr_Willis> ladweeba:  not really. you can instgall packages. but any big updates would take up a lot of ram.. and any that require a reboot wouldent work
[04:03] <Jordan_U> keepishop: Try the template that ubottu suggested, "when I try to
[04:03] <fishbait> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036605/ my ifconfig -a results
[04:04] <ladweeba> ok
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> keepishop:  if / is read only, you need to remount it. or it could be some other perr needed to edit rc.local
[04:04] <ladweeba> so the best thing to do is just get a new livecd
[04:04] <keepishop> when I try to edit rc.local in recovery mode, vi says the file is read only. :x! does not work.
[04:04] <ladweeba> how does a livecd work with the internet?
[04:04] <keepishop> mount says that / is rw
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> ladweeba:  you can make a live-usb setup and do some updates to it.. but its not for long term type ussage
[04:04] <Nosophorus> i have a question
[04:05] <Dr_Willis> keepishop:  you are doing 'sudo vi ' ?
[04:05] <zein> Anyone here familiar with Launchpad and gpg keys?
[04:05] <ladweeba> thanks Dr_Willis
[04:05] <Nosophorus> would be reasonable to backup my files using this command: cp -ruvax ???
[04:05] <keepishop> whoami says I'm root. screw sudo.
[04:05] <fishbait> do it anyway
[04:05] <fishbait> you just never know
[04:05] <fishbait> lol
[04:05] <escott> Nosophorus, rsync would be faster
[04:05] <Dr_Willis> try making a file  in /etc/ as a test
[04:05] <ladweeba> so it looks like the partition is the best way to go then
[04:05] <Jordan_U> keepishop: Do you get any output from "sudo touch /etc/testfile"?
[04:06] <subcool_> escott, we got sudo to work- thats all
[04:06] <Dr_Willis> could be theres some fs issue so its remounting / as rw
[04:06] <keepishop> with sudo, it says it cannot open the file wor writing. I'm also unable to create new files in /etc
[04:06] <Dr_Willis> err  read only
[04:06] <notkevin> I have a MacBook Pro (MacBookPro5,4 if it matters) and the touchpad is too sensitive, almost to the point of not being usable.  Anyone have any tips? I have been playing with synclient for a few days but I can't seem to find the right settings.  I am having lots of accidental clicks and when I do try to click the pointer jumps around.
[04:06] <OerHeks> helloha, so why are you pointing to a pdf, howto find tomcat.sh and changing the issue to howto start a .jar?
[04:06] <keepishop> touch /etc/blahblah says read only filesystem
[04:06] <ladweeba> I should partition my hard drive and put ubuntu on one part of it and keep win7-64 bit on the one part
[04:06] <ladweeba> I want long-term usage
[04:06] <Jordan_U> keepishop: What about "sudo tough /tmp/testfile"? My guess is that the whole FS is read only.
[04:07] <keepishop> mount says it's a rw mount. mount -o remount,rw does nothing
[04:07] <Jordan_U> s/tough/touch/
[04:07] <helloha> OerHeks: yes
[04:07] <Dr_Willis> ladweeba:  you can do a full install to a usb flash drive - if you wanted to.
[04:07] <tking0037> can someone help ... i just installed the broadcom wireless drivers they wont load and im getting this in /var/log/kern.log http://pastebin.com/i6Lj6pLz
[04:07] <OerHeks> helloha install tomcat-docs and use them wisely
[04:07] <Dr_Willis> keepishop:  can you touch a file on / ?
[04:07] <fishbait> lad i would try 2 hardrive dual boots between 7 and ubuntu are tricky
[04:07] <orca_> Is it possible that irssi chat client can consume bandwidth so much so, that it causes videos to frequently?
[04:07] <Jordan_U> keepishop: Is there any way that you could pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[04:07] <keepishop> the / partition says it's read-only too
[04:08] <ladweeba> Dr_Willis, but I wouldn't be able to use it for long-term, that is, the usb flash drive? I want long term usage.
[04:08] <Jordan_U> keepishop: You probably have serious filesystem issues which need to be fixed via fsck before you can mount rw.
[04:08] <Dr_Willis> ladweeba:  i have a full instggall to a 32gb flash that ive been using as a main system for several months
[04:08] <fishbait> what is eth0:avahi?
[04:08] <Jordan_U> keepishop: The output of "dmesg" would help confirm that.
[04:08] <keepishop> is there a ubuntu-minus-gui channel that would be more appropriate? This install is 10 minutes old and died on the first reboot.
[04:08] <keepishop> no errors in dmesg
[04:09] <keepishop> this is in virtualbox, btw

[04:09] <Nosophorus> escott: but can i do that what i told?
[04:09] <orca_> Is it possible that irssi chat client can consume bandwidth so much so, that it causes videos to frequently?
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> orca_:  i would find that unlikely
[04:09] <fishbait> ... no its just irc
[04:09] <ladweeba> Dr_Willis, I'm confused. You said that a usb flash wouldn't give me long-term usage or did I misunderstand you.
[04:09] <escott> Nosophorus, if it does what you want sure
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> ladweeba:  a LIVE setupo to usb flash..
[04:09] <Dr_Willis> ladweeba:  vs a FULL install
[04:10] <ladweeba> this is all new to me, Dr_Willis
[04:10] <Jordan_U> keepishop: Can you boot via a LiveCD and run fsck?
[04:10] <Dr_Willis> ladweeba:  you can do a special live-setup on flash same as booting from a cd. + a save file.
[04:10] <ladweeba> so I will have to google so I can understand how I can setup to usb flash
[04:10] <fishbait> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036605/ someone asked me to paste ifconfig -a
[04:10] <Dr_Willis> ladweeba:  or you can do a regular full install. same as you would to a normal hard drive
[04:10] <keepishop> Ok, I'm loading some other distro. ubuntu is not suitable for a virtual appliance.
[04:11]  * keepishop comes crawling back to debian
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> keepishop:  of your iso was bad.
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> or..
[04:11] <keepishop> I added a bad daemon to rc.local.
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> but it all depends on your needs.
[04:11] <keepishop> That's the only issue.
[04:11] <keepishop> I just need to comment out one line.
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> id boot a live cd.. and fix the rc.local
[04:11] <keepishop> Should recovery mode be rw by default?
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> i rarely use recovery mode
[04:11] <keepishop> gah
[04:11] <ladweeba> I have to admit I like the idea of the 32 GB flash drive usage.
[04:11] <keepishop> I hate things that lie to me.
[04:12] <Dr_Willis> i thinkr ecovery is ro - so you an do fscking. theres a menu item in its settings to go to rw
[04:12] <keepishop> but... mount says rw.
[04:12] <ladweeba> I just want to make sure I can use this with my present cable internet and use the software that I want like kxstudio, gimp, etc.
[04:12] <keepishop> If ubuntu has some layer that ignores /proc.... that's bad.
[04:12] <Dr_Willis> i would have booted a live cd and fixed rc.local allready by now...
[04:13] <Dr_Willis> i have to wonder wehat is in  rc.local that keeps the system from booting.. its the last service to start.
[04:13] <keepishop> namecoind
[04:13] <Dr_Willis> so everything else should be going,.
[04:14] <Dr_Willis> including the login: consoles
[04:14] <Jordan_U> keepishop: Ubuntu has no "layer that ignores /proc".
[04:14] <keepishop> Nice to hear.
[04:14] <keepishop> Anyway. Someone ask me some apache or nginx questions so I can feel useful.
[04:15] <fishbait> i'm running ubuntu 12.04 recent install i tried http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899 and still no net connection various info http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036551/ i should note it worked perfectly when connected to a non-Gigabit Ethernet router. a stock befsr81 to be exact but thats the router that is my modem equivalent not the router that manages my network i issue sudo ifconfig up eth0 and it says eth0: Unkomy if config -a
[04:15] <fishbait> *eth0:unknow host
[04:15] <Jordan_U> keepishop: Speaking of /proc though, what does "cat /proc/mounts" say about your root filesystem? mount gets its information from /etc/mtab, which can't be updated on a read only FS.
[04:16] <keepishop> Jordan_U: I'm waiting for a live cd to spin its gears.
[04:17] <fishbait> okay i have net but no dns a little more help.
[04:18] <keepishop> fishbait: When you plug in the cable while hot, dmesg should say if the link was negotiated at 100mb of gbit.
[04:18] <keepishop> If you have no dns, echo nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> >> /etc/resolv.cong
[04:18] <keepishop> *resolv.conf
[04:18] <notkevin> tips? I have been playing with synclient for a few days but I can't seem to find the right settings.  I am having lots of accidental clicks and when I do try to click the pointer jumps around.
[04:18] <fishbait> i was able to ping and access my router.
[04:18] <fishbait> but still can't get to or ping google
[04:19] <keepishop> A ubuntu livecd just crashed virtualbox.
[04:19] <L3top> keepishop: you can just mount -o rw,remount /
[04:20] <Jordan_U> keepishop: Did you do an md5sum check on the iso image?
[04:20] <keepishop> L3top: That failed silently
[04:22] <fishbait> what option do i add in /etc/network/interfaces to perma set 100baseTx-fd
[04:22] <escott> keepishop, failing and silently seldom go together
[04:23] <keepishop> And the live cd cannot see my root. Uhg. It's pwnd.
[04:23] <fishbait> auto negotiation off of course
[04:23] <Jordan_U> keepishop: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[04:24] <keepishop> No cut and paste
[04:24] <keepishop> Cant use guest additions.
[04:24] <Jordan_U> keepishop: You should be able to use pastebinit from within the VM.
[04:24] <Jordan_U> !pastebinit | keepishop
[04:25] <keepishop> waiting for parted -l
[04:26] <keepishop> thank you all sincerely for your help. I'm going to switch to a distro more appropriate for my needs.
[04:27] <keepishop> I don't think I'll be able to hit my 200MB target with ubuntu anyway.
[04:30] <Dr_Willis> 200mb? :) tiny core linux = 35mb for a full install
[04:32] <helloha> Dr_Willis: how to install java and jvm?
[04:32] <helloha> help
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> i  just use the open sourced java from the repos. or follow the !java wiki
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> !java
[04:33] <Dr_Willis> thers some unofficial ppas for installing java also. mentioned at some blog sites
[04:33] <vivid_> plz tell me is it possible to install oracle 10g on ubuntu 11.10
[04:34] <escott> vivid_, check on the oracle sight, but i cant imagine why not
[04:34]  * Dr_Willis dosent een know what Oracle 10g is..
[04:35] <WindBuntu> did they fix brasero yet?
[04:35] <escott> Dr_Willis, DB server
[04:35] <vivid_> yes
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> WindBuntu:  check  bu reports for it?
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> bug reports
[04:36] <fishbait> what is eth0:avahi?
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> avahi  is a bonjure service for finding servers/media stuff i belive
[04:37] <vivid_> ok one more thing I want to send alert on my gmail about my harddisk usage please guide me the steps...my mail comment isn't working properly
[04:37] <Dr_Willis> i noticed the Plex media server needed avahi yesterday ;)
[04:37] <keepishop> vivid_: is sendmail working already?
[04:38] <WindBuntu> yes i did in fact i was one of man ywho reported it but i cant figure out how to tell when its actually done
[04:38] <Nosophorus> i've been banned from the macosx channel after i told them linux is far superior than macosx
[04:38] <fishbait> well my ifconfig -a baffles me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036605/
[04:38] <keepishop> Nosophorus: sounds logical.
[04:39] <Dr_Willis> Nosophorus:  and tthis is related to ubuntu support? sounds like stuff for  the offtopic channel
[04:39] <Nosophorus> Dr_Willis: i'm sorry
[04:39] <sainy> I have a question
[04:39] <sainy> how to expan?d the room for ubuntu
[04:39] <Nosophorus> Dr_Willis: where is the off topic channel?
 only ssmtp is workin
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> !ot
[04:40] <Dr_Willis> sainy:  what?
[04:40] <fishbait> okay i'm able to ping my router
[04:40] <Nosophorus> thanks
[04:40] <sainy> my ubuntu system space is 8.8G,i want to expand it
[04:41] <fishbait> ping -c 6 www.google.com returns unknown host
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> sainy:  using a gparted live cd. you can resize partitions
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> sainy:  or th eubuntu live cd. thats how i nromally do it
[04:42] <fishbait> tried the browser can't find www.google.com
[04:42] <sainy> i know this software and i used it, but the root  was locked?
[04:42] <Ben64> fishbait: what is the contents of the file /etc/resolv.conf
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> sainy:  this is shy i said  from a 'live cd'
[04:42] <fishbait> blank
[04:43] <Dr_Willis> sainy:  you dont resiae a filesystem thatd in use
[04:43] <Ben64> fishbait: thats why you can't resolve google.com, put a dns server in there, like this... http://pastebin.com/DfnUwmkw
[04:43] <sainy> what i can do?
[04:43] <fishbait> ok
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> sainy:  ... use gparted from a live cd......
[04:44] <Ben64> fishbait: wait, can you see my pastebin?
[04:44] <fishbait> yes
[04:44] <Ben64> ok, so this is for another computer then
[04:44] <fishbait> yes a laptop runing widnows 7
[04:45] <Ben64> ok
[04:46] <sainy> Dr_Willis,can you say it clearly?
[04:46] <sainy> thanks
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> sainy:  not sure how to say 'use the gparteed program from a live cd' any more clerly..
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> boot the cd.. run gparted.. reize stuff.
[04:47] <ladweeba> you mean resize stuff, Dr_Willis?
[04:47] <escott> sainy, boot the install cd. select "try ubuntu first." start gparted. then you can resize partitions
[04:47] <ladweeba> ahhh there it is from escott
[04:48] <ladweeba> no misspells
[04:48] <ladweeba> the misspells can sometimes throw you off
[04:48] <Dr_Willis> worse is the auto-correction on the  phone..
[04:48] <ladweeba> I know
[04:49] <Dr_Willis> especially when it tries to convert bash commands into other words..
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> sainy:  be sure to make backups beofr you resize things
[04:51] <fishbait> no luck added my dns servers to resolv.conf still ping -c 6 www.google.com returns unknown host
[04:51] <Dr_Willis> fishbait:  can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[04:51] <Ben64> fishbait: did you put "nameserver <dns server ip>"
[04:52] <fishbait> yes i can ping <IP_ADDRESS> but it all return destination host unreachable and yes i put namserver before them
[04:53] <Ben64> well if you can't ping ip then you have no internet connection at all
[04:53] <fishbait> however i can ping my router
[04:53] <fishbait> at <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:54] <Ben64> then you have no NAT
[04:55] <Ben64> do... "sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> <your ethernet device, such as eth0 or eth1>"
[04:55] <siriusnova> Anyone use a new Thinkpad T430 or T530 or X230 with Ubuntu?
[04:55] <Brandon> as
[04:56] <fishbait> okay ping -c 6b <IP_ADDRESS> returns 0% packet loss testing browser
[04:57] <fishbait> success!!!!!!!
[04:57] <fishbait> this problem has plagued me through 3 distros
[04:57] <Ben64> you need to set up a static ip or set up dhcp correctly
[04:57] <fishbait> and its solved ty ty ty!
[04:58] <fishbait> hmm how?
[04:58] <fishbait> i use dhcp
[04:58] <fishbait> and i added eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces
[04:59] <fishbait> i'll see if adding eth0:avahi will work
[04:59] <Ben64> well you could make it static, and set the gateway in /etc/network/interfaces as well
[05:00] <fishbait> would that ruin wake on lan? b/c its cool that i can turn on my pc from my phone
[05:00] <Scott_S> fishbait: Static IP just means your ISP won't change your IP when you reboot your router.
[05:01] <fishbait> okay should i use dnsmasq for dns or just use normal dns?
[05:02] <fishbait> i'm runnign dd-wrt on an e3000
[05:02] <fishbait> in the file its inet static right?
[05:13] <fishbait_> ok laptop is now static set need help setting the static in ubuntu
[05:13] <fishbait_> ip that is
[05:14] <fishbait_> and the machine name...
[05:16] <jimbochou> Hi, I always have intermittent problems of losing internet connection with 12.04 64-bit on the Macbook Pro 5.1. The wireless icon shows the connection to the router but packets just don't come in. Computers on the same wireless network are okay. Any ideas?
[05:19] <fishbait_> if iset the same static ip settings for eth0 and eth0:avahi both with the same mac address per ifconfig -a will they conflict?
[05:19] <laurus> What is the package name for the printer manager?
[05:20] <fishbait_> if iset the same static ip settings for eth0 and eth0:avahi both with the same mac address per ifconfig -a will they conflict?
[05:20] <err_or> laurus: for hp printers?
[05:20] <laurus> err_or, no, the general one.
[05:20] <laurus> The one that is in "System -> Administration -> Printers"
[05:20] <KRomo> omg i just found the best music player for ubuntu
[05:20] <KRomo> rhythmbox got the uninstall
[05:21] <err_or> laurus: system-config-printer
[05:22] <laurus> err_or, is there a way to access it from the command line?
[05:22] <err_or> laurus: system-config-printer-common
[05:22] <err_or> err_or: system-config-printer --help
[05:22] <err_or> laurus :D
[05:23] <laurus> err_or, thanks!
[05:25] <fishbait_> if iset the same static ip settings for eth0 and eth0:avahi both with the same mac address per ifconfig -a will they conflict?
[05:25] <hashset> whittenc is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[05:25] <hashset> doh
[05:26] <blackshirt> hashset: you should on group sudo
[05:26] <laurus> To print, a user must be a member of group lpadmin ?
[05:26] <fishbait_> in etc netowrk interfaces how do i set dns?
[05:26] <laurus> Or other groups as well?
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: are you using static iP?
[05:26] <fishbait_> yes
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: then set it in /etc/resolv.conf    as you are not using DHCP, the file will be unmodified
[05:27] <hashset> blackshirt: what is that?  new to linux
[05:27] <fishbait_> hmm okay i'll try it again
[05:27] <fishbait_> btw can i have 3 dns instead of 2 or will that error it/
[05:28] <blackshirt> hashset: that was special group (sudoers) that has access to system administration instead using root regularly
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: the maximum is 3, they will be used in the order they appear in the file (top to bottom)
[05:28] <fishbait_> okay
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: it's called 'admin' not 'sudo'
[05:29] <tking0036> i just upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 from 10.04 ... is LXDE or XFCE better
[05:29] <fishbait_> i'm using conmdo filtered dns but the 3rd one is a google dns just in case
[05:29] <Cale> Anyone happen to know why X would die if I kill my WM?  I'm on 11.04.
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> tking0036: there is no outright better, you can install the desktops and try them, see what you think
[05:30] <tking0036> I wish they would let me have my gnome 2 back...
[05:30] <Cale> tking0036: seriously
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> gnome2 is dead..  ;) time to move  on
[05:30] <tking0036> im going to use lxde i think... its pretty similar to what i am used to
[05:30] <fishbait_> is there a way to put the bar on bottom instead of left?
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> tking0036: there are unofficial ports which aren't supported here, or you can install gnome-panel and use that as your shell instead of Unity
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> tking0036: xfce has the gnome2 smell
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> thers some hacks for unity to put its launcher on  the  bottom. but they are not supported here.. and were buggy last i looked into them
[05:31] <tking0036> ok.. ill take a look at xfce
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> for old skool look - lubuntu, or xubuntu,. :)
[05:31] <Cale> tking0036: I think in recent years, UI designers have all gotten bored with their jobs and decided to start just randomly changing shit for no apparent reason. Also, they seem to be assuming that *everyone* is on a tablet PC.
[05:31] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: there is a PPA which is known to break things which will move it to the bottom. OMGUbuntu has a howto for it
[05:31] <tking0036> thats what i think
[05:32] <Cale> and has nothing better to click on things with than their stubby fingers
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> CarlFK: you don't have to use the default shells
[05:32] <tking0036> is ubuntu 10.04 still supported?
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> Cale:  they have allways don stuff just because gthey could.
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> tking0036: yes
[05:32] <fishbait_> hmm does another gui have a bar?
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: look into xfce, you'll probably find it fits the bill
[05:32] <fishbait_> okay.
[05:32] <tking0036> can i get the 3.20 kernel on ubuntu 10.04
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: an image search will show you te score
[05:33] <Zero01> what are you talking about?
[05:33] <ActionParsnip> tking0036: its not supported in Lucid. It has a different kernel.
[05:33] <Cale> tking0036: Yeah, if you compile it yourself
[05:33] <tking0036> my laptop has the intel hd 3000 graphics and i think they are better supported under the newer kernel
[05:33] <Dr_Willis> trensplanting a 3.2 kernel into 10.04 - is a bit of a task from what ive seen/heard from others in here who have tried
[05:34] <err_or> tking0036, you gan get 3.0.0-20
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> best to just upgrade the whole os
[05:34] <tking0036> thats what i assumed
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> newer video card.. newer drivers.. need newer X.. needs newer kernel...
[05:35] <fishbait_> for some reason resolv.conf won't hold changes across boots. any other ideas?
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: are any of your interfaces using DHCP?
[05:35] <fishbait_> not according to etc network interfaces it loopback static static
[05:36] <Cale> ugh, these processes aren't children of metacity, I don't understand why they'd be killed when I kill it
[05:37] <Cale> It's like gnome-session or gdm or something sees that the window manager has died and rather than restarting the WM, it kills everything.
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> metacity --replace   kills them?
[05:37] <Cale> (and sends me back to a login screen after a delay)
[05:37] <fishbait_> on another note it won't conifgure network during boot it always waits 60 seconds related/
[05:38] <Cale> metacity --replace won't work if the running metacity is frozen
[05:38] <Cale> I have to kill it, and as soon as there's no WM, it drops all my running programs on the floor
[05:38] <Cale> (which makes no sense)
[05:40] <laurus> To print, a user must be a member of what group ?
[05:40] <Matpick> Hello, could anyone help me Im having some issues with installing Ubuntu and I cant resolve them no matter what I try :(
[05:41] <Dr_Willis> details? ;)
[05:41] <fishbait_> for some reason resolv.conf won't hold changes across boots. any other ideas?
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: may help http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/
[05:43] <Adonis> can anyon help with install error it says "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. when im trying to do clean install on my pc without another os
[05:44] <ActionParsnip> Adonis: is your ubuntu drive /dev/sda   ?
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> i had the instgaller fail to insgtall grub.. but i ran the insggtaller-grub commands and it then installed...  sen anotehr box. i had to reboot the live cd. then fixed grub.
[05:45] <Adonis> nope, i just checked it then
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> CarlFK: if you make a fresh ubuntu user, is it the same?
[05:45] <Dr_Willis> i think i mayhave confused the insteller/os with some major repartitioning
[05:45] <fishbait_> rebooting now time to test it
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> Adonis: that's why then, isn't it
[05:45] <Adonis> i think so, ive tried the other partitions but it doesnt seem to work on them either
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> ive also seen BIOS  'anti virus' protection mess with grub
[05:46] <twoolie> Does anyone know why NFS would be squashing UIDs when no_all_squash,no_root_squash are set?
[05:46] <fishbait_> why am i getting waiting for network configuration during boot?
[05:46] <Adonis> is it best to let ubuntu select you partitioning for you?
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> Adonis:  depends on your needsand skill level.
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> Adonis: if it suits your needs, yes
[05:47] <Dr_Willis> i got linux on its own second hard drive. so i  do it by  hand
[05:47] <Adonis> it just finished install and now its restarted and just stalled at blank screen with blinking curser
[05:47] <tking0036> i do it by hand because i want to have lvm inside dmcrypt dual booting with truecrypted windows
[05:48] <tjpoe> anyone familiar with a "flip queue failed" error?
[05:48] <tjpoe> seems to be related to Intel chipset GM45
[05:48] <tjpoe> some research has indicated that I can fix it by disabling page flipping, does anyone know how/where I can do that?
[05:48] <tking0036> probably in xorg.conf
[05:49] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset | Adonis
[05:50] <slikts> how the f*** is it OK to have outdated chromium in repos…
[05:50] <tking0036> tjpoe: look at this... it is for natty but it still might work: http://tinyurl.com/c97uwqq
[05:50] <tking0036> tjpoe: this guy hacked xorg-server so it disables page flipping
[05:50] <iceroot> slikts: whatch your language
[05:51] <fishbait_> why am i getting waiting for netowrk configuration during boot?
[05:51] <iceroot> fishbait_: because you have a networkconfig in /etc/network/interfaces which cant be started at boot (mostly wifi)
[05:52] <fishbait_> @iceroot i'm on static ip on a wired interface
[05:52] <iceroot> fishbait_: maybe the interface is not up at that time
[05:52] <slikts> it's just negligence, chromium has exploits…
[05:52] <fishbait_> hmm maybe
[05:52] <iceroot> fishbait_: if you are using a gui, try to remove the config from that file and use networkmanager instead
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> slikts: so do many other apps...
[05:53] <iceroot> slikts: have a look at the changelog if the fixes are backported
[05:53] <tking0036> slikts: just compile the new version yourself
[05:53] <blackshirt> is possible to use command line network manager ?
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: sure, wicd-curses is fantastic
[05:53] <slikts> ActionParsnip: so that's an excuse to have an outdated version? wtf!
[05:53] <tking0036> slikts: trolling on irc isnt going to accomplish anything
[05:53] <jagginess> blackshirt, yes.. its nmcli.. and 1 or two others , nm<tab><tab>
[05:53] <fishbait_> i'm in terminal nano into /etc/network/interfaces
[05:53] <iceroot> slikts: again, stop that language
[05:53] <Adonis> i think there is prob with my raid configuration and where grub is installing
[05:53] <iceroot> slikts: and look at the changelog
[05:53] <ActionParsnip> slikts: report a bug and mark it as a security risk. Easy
[05:53] <blackshirt> ActionParsnip: for usb hsdpa modem ?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> slikts: ranting in here does less than zero
[05:54] <iceroot> slikts: ubuntu is backporting security updates so you dont have to do a major update mostly
[05:54] <blackshirt> jagginess: what packages provides it ?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: last I checked, wicd doesn't like 3G but it may have changed
[05:54] <Adonis> shouldnt grub install on same partition as ubuntu?
[05:54] <jagginess> blackshirt, i'm not sure if settigns can be made with it.. it's there by default
[05:54] <iceroot> slikts: apt-get changelog packagename
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> Adonis:  it can. but dosent hve to
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> Adonis: not necessarily
[05:54] <blackshirt> ActionParsnip: exactly ?
[05:54] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: how do you mean?
[05:54] <Adonis> every time i try it brings up error....
[05:55] <blackshirt> jaggines: what packages provide nmcli ?
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: there is nm-cli too buti've not used it
[05:55] <Dr_Willis> Adonis:  on the same mbr/drive.. you mean. you normally put grub on sda, not sda1 for example
[05:55] <slikts> W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_oneiric-security_main_source_Sources  Hash Sum mismatch
[05:55] <slikts> huh?
[05:55] <Adonis> asks me to select anoth drive, but i have 4 drives in raid
[05:55] <blackshirt> ActionParsnip: wicd-curses can be used for usb hsdpa modem ?
[05:55] <iceroot> slikts: sudo apt-get upda
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> slikts: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036671/
[05:55] <iceroot> slikts: sudo apt-get update
[05:55] <slikts> yes, that's what I ran
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: is it 3G?
[05:56] <slikts> iceroot: that's what produces that error
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> slikts: the command list I gave should help
[05:56] <blackshirt> ActionParsnip: yes, 3G GSM network
[05:56] <iceroot> slikts: try to rerun
[05:56] <slikts> I did
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: I'm not sure wicd can use 3G, check their site
[05:56] <slikts> same error
[05:56] <Adonis> if i use live cd how do i intall grub to main ubuntu partition apt-get install grub?
[05:56] <jagginess> blackshirt, i think it's textual edit of configuration in plain cli.. those nm* commands looks like it doesnt set the config.. -- if you want to set the config it's either textual edit or it can be done with cli apps i think(somebody mentioned wicd ..)
[05:56] <ActionParsnip> slikts: whom are you addressing???
[05:56] <slikts> ActionParsnip: what is that script?
[05:56] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | Adonis
[05:56] <slikts> ActionParsnip: do you expect people to just run random cryptic scripts?
[05:56] <iceroot> Adonis: sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> slikts: its the command list from the fix packages ubuntu page
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> slikts: I can give you a damn link to the same stuff if you want? It's all the same
[05:57] <slikts> ActionParsnip: you gave me a damn link to a cryptic script w/o comments
[05:57] <ActionParsnip> slikts: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure step 5
[05:58] <iceroot> slikts: stop this language
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> slikts: same thing in a convenient link
[05:58] <fishbait_> i'm in terminal nano into /etc/network/interfaces add my 3 dns server using dns-nameservers
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> slikts: I can fill it with all kinds of comments, won't change what it actually does
[05:58] <iceroot> fishbait_: dont but dns there
[05:58] <blackshirt> ActionParsnip: i think wicd doesn't support 3g
[05:58] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: then try nm-cli
[05:58] <fishbait_> where then/ resolv.conf wipes every boot.
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> blackshirt: http://wicd.sourceforge.net/moinmoin/3GUsbModem    shows how to connect
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: what if you make it read only :)
[05:59] <fishbait_> hmm i wonder.
[05:59] <blackshirt> thanks ActionParsnip
[06:00] <tjpoe> tking0036: i've added that PPA, but when I do an apt-get upgrade, the xorg package isn't  upgraded
[06:00] <ActionParsnip> slikts: see what I mean, which is easier to use?
[06:00] <Adonis> i tried to check grub and it says "unsupported RAID level :255.
[06:01] <jagginess> Adonis, you using raid?
[06:01] <Adonis> yea
[06:01] <slikts> ActionParsnip: the real question is why is it suddenly necessary… but thanks
[06:01] <Adonis> is that a prob?
[06:01] <jagginess> Adonis, you should use no less than grub2
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> slikts: the files can get corrupted
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> slikts: so the command wipes them all out then rebuilds them
[06:01] <slikts> I ran the script, and it seems to do nothing
[06:01] <Adonis> how do i see what my drive is called in console
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> slikts: its working away, let it bake
[06:01] <L3top> slikts: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?57567-Ubuntu-problems-on-update
[06:02] <ActionParsnip> Adonis: sudo fdisk -l
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> Adonis:  sudo blkid   may give you the info
[06:02] <fishbait_> how do i make it readonly i'm not owner >.>
[06:02] <jagginess> Adonis, raid is an advanced topic, it's support isn't available with the desktop iso, but rather the server iso..
[06:02] <slikts> yup, chromium-browser is severely out of date and probably exploitable, last updates are months ago, GREAT JOB
[06:03] <Adonis> fdisk -l says "WARNING" GPT detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesnt support GPT. USE GNU parted....
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: its actually a symlink
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> slikts: report a bug, ranting in here achieves nothing
[06:03] <fishbait_> then how do i make read only?
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> slikts: greater job
[06:03] <slikts> ActionParsnip: afaik it's known already
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: sudo chmod 400 /etc/resolv.conf
[06:04] <fishbait_> okay trying now
[06:04] <blackshirt> like hard for novice user like me
[06:04] <Dr_Willis> Adonis:  try sudo blkid
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> slikts: then you have 2 choices. Change browser or live with the bug
[06:04] <blackshirt> look hard
[06:04] <Dr_Willis> wait for the updates
[06:04] <fishbait_> okay executed now executing sudo telinit 6
[06:05] <Dr_Willis> telinit 6? how.. old skool. ;)
[06:05] <slikts> ActionParsnip: one another choice is raise awareness that ubuntu has ridiculous security practices
[06:05] <ActionParsnip> that is offtopic here
[06:05] <slikts> I'm sure you don't like that
[06:05] <fishbait_> yeah well i came from a debian with no gui
[06:05] <fishbait_> >.>
[06:06] <ActionParsnip> slikts: this is support only, not pointless moaning
[06:06] <slikts> yep, I know
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> i did see a firefox update th eother day. ;) now people cant  quit asking abbout it.. i hope.
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[06:07] <fishbait_> 20 seconds to desktop then we find out if it worked
[06:07] <tjpoe> once I have added a custom PPA, how do I install the package if the current package is newer than the one from the PPA?
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> tjpoe: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install packagename
[06:08] <fishbait_> <.<  it didn'work
[06:08] <tjpoe> that tells me the "it is already the newest version"
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: have you considered wicd-curses, it's dead handy in CLI
[06:09] <tjpoe> i think the "fix" from the PPA is actually a downgrade
[06:09] <ActionParsnip> tjpoe: have you checked the version on the ppa?
[06:09] <Adonis> Im gonna try re install again and look carefully at which drive my grub is installed to!
[06:09] <Adonis> thanks for your help guys!
[06:11] <tjpoe> current version: Version: 1:7.6+7ubuntu7.1. PPA version: 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.2+cllsrg1~natty1
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> tjpoe: what package name please?
[06:12] <tjpoe> sudo apt-get install xorg=2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.2+cllsrg1~natty1
[06:12] <tjpoe> fails w/ an error that the version of xorg isn't found
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> tjpoe: are you adding the xorg edgers ppa?
[06:13] <tjpoe> adding the ppa from: https://launchpad.net/~callegar/+archive/xorg/+packages
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> tjpoe:  what version of ubuntu are you using?
[06:14] <tjpoe> oneric
[06:14] <fishbait_> umm how do i undo chmod 400 /etc/resolv.conf
[06:14] <Dr_Willis> the error message mentions 'natty'
[06:14] <fishbait_> it killed my internet
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: what is the output of:    ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
[06:15] <tjpoe> i know, there isn't a PPA for oneric
[06:15] <Dr_Willis> tjpoe:  mixing releases normally wont work
[06:15] <tjpoe> darn
[06:15] <tjpoe> hmm. any other work arounds?
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> other then.. use the latest release..  no idea
[06:16] <tjpoe> isn't oneric the latest?
[06:16] <Dr_Willis> !12.04
[06:16] <fishbait_> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 jun 10 21:20 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
[06:17] <tjpoe> ah... i am using the latest XBMCbuntu release, which comes with Oneric.
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> tjpoe:  you can install xbmc on 12.04 easially enough
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: then run:    cd /etc; chmod 644 ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> !info xbmc
[06:17] <fishbait_> okay
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: the chmod will need prefixing with sudo :)
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> tjpoe:  check out 'plex' also - i f you like xbmc.   its like a spinoff of it
[06:18] <tjpoe> ya, I was trying to go w/ XBMCbuntu since it is a minimum install, and I boot right into the media software
[06:18] <Jarris> after a crashed relese-upgrade, i reinstalled ubuntu with my old partions and did not format them, instalation was succesfull but at reboot after selecting kernel i am not able to enter Lukspw. it is asked for but my keybord ist totaly useless at that point, dont even able to switch to other ttys.. can you help me?
[06:18] <tjpoe> i've tried Plex, but I prefer XBMC. I like the extra customizations I can do w/ XBMC
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> tjpoe:  i saw a mini xbmc disrto - but i forget its name. it was like under 400mb
[06:19] <Dr_Willis> i can get to my plex server from my android phone. :)
[06:19] <fishbait_> okay done with sudo telinit 6 and hope it works.
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: the android remote control app is pretty sweet too
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> been testing out/comparing/contrasting plex/xbmc and boxee  lately
[06:20] <tjpoe> i used to try the android and iOS xbmc remotes, until i bought the FLIRC. greatest things since sliced bread. love that little gadget
[06:20] <dandaman1> whats the best torrent client for ubuntu in your guyses opinion?
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: I use vlc + remote control on android, much faster than XBMC flicking through menus imho
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> dandaman1: transmission here
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  plex server is streaming to my android. :) im not using it as a remote
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: gotcha
[06:21] <fishbait_> thats likle ford vs chevy if u know what i mean
[06:21] <gts> hi how can i join in
[06:21] <Dr_Willis> of course the  plex server is also basically a headless xbmc 'server'
[06:21] <dandaman1> ActionParsnip: are you sure you werent lazy to look around
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> dandaman1: there is a client for it on android so I can add, remove and manage my torrents from my phone.
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> dandaman1: so I use it :)
[06:21] <tjpoe> any other way to "disable page flipping" seems like the problem exists even in the newest version of Ubuntu.
[06:21] <dandaman1> ActionParsnip: oh shit, sold
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> dandaman1: transdroid dude, or torrentfu
[06:22] <fishbait_> i do that with utorrrent and torrent fu
[06:22] <gts> code 3478
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> most torrent clients have the same feature sets these days..  not seen a lot that  make  any stand out
[06:23] <fishbait_> didn't owkr and now its lost my config
[06:23] <gts> i know my self am looking 4 another opition
[06:24] <gts> am leaving
[06:24] <gts> Dr
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> hmm?
[06:24] <Dr_Willis> !tab
[06:24] <fishbait_> need to restore resolve.conf to original state.
[06:25] <fishbait_> *resolv.conf
[06:25] <gts> Dr where ar u located
[06:25] <L3top> fishbait_: state being permission state?
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: still no good? It should be back to square one.
[06:26] <gts> hmm
[06:26] <fishbait_> yeah the goal was to make it read only but in doing so it basically train wrecked my r8168 ethernet
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> L3top: tried to make it read only so it wouldn't get touched during reboot
[06:26] <L3top> chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf  in case you missed ActionParsnips
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> My /etc/resolv.conf seems to be 777 - weird
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> L3top: its a symlink though which is why its 777
[06:26] <L3top> that is weird... and probably a bad idea Dr_Willis
[06:26] <L3top> ohhhhhhh
[06:26] <ActionParsnip> :D
[06:26] <Dr_Willis> that mey be why. but it dosent  look like a link here..
[06:27] <L3top> why is it a symlink?
[06:27] <L3top> meaning what did that?
[06:27] <gogeta> L3top: bo
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> L3top: its default
[06:28] <fishbait_> okay trying 777
[06:28] <L3top> not... on... anything I own...
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> its a link to the  file in the /run/ dir
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036691/
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> but it dosent seem to be a link here..
[06:29] <L3top> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24 Jun  7 15:32 /etc/resolv.conf
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> is in both Precise and Quantal here
[06:29] <fishbait_> 80 seconds
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> i think the /run/ changes started getting put in 12.04
[06:29] <Arccchy> Can someone please help me make a script auto start on boot?
[06:30] <gts> dr
[06:30] <gts> Dr
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> Arccchy:  a script to do whatt?
[06:30] <L3top> oh sorry... that was lucid... you are, of course, correct ActionParsnip.
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> Arccchy: does it need root access and does it need X to be running?
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> L3top: its rare ;)
[06:30] <gts> some one here is connecting ar nuc
[06:31] <gts> don't say i did worn u
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: you could of course delete the link and make resolv.conf be a file
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> gts: do you have a support issue?
[06:31] <Arccchy> ActionParsnip well I have a basic file with the commands to start, no shebang or anything just the commands. all the program's can't be started as root or it would cause a security risk
[06:32] <ActionParsnip> Arccchy: add it with the shebang, then run the startup manager and tell it to run the script
[06:32] <gts> ok
[06:32] <Arccchy> is there a startup manager in ubuntu server actionparsnip?
[06:32] <gts> hi gwen
[06:33] <gogeta> Arccchy: wouldent you just add it to rc.d
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> Arccchy: ahhh then you can use su to run the command as a user in /etc/rc.local
[06:33] <ActionParsnip> Arccchy: in future, please state you are using server, or we will assume desktop
[06:34] <Arccchy> this chat says "@ ubuntu servers"
[06:34] <gogeta> Arccchy: lol
[06:35] <fishbait_> whats the defaul chmod for /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
[06:35] <fishbait_> whats the default chmod for /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
[06:35] <gogeta> Arccchy: we do desktops as well
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Jun 12 04:50 /run/resolvconf/resolv.con
[06:36] <fishbait_> so 172 then?
[06:36] <Arccchy> oh
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> hmm. i dont have that /run/ file. i must have done somthing weird with my networking in the past
[06:36] <Arccchy> so all I do is add it to the rc.local?
[06:36] <ActionParsnip> Arccchy: the only mention of 'server' in the motd is that hardy is only supported on the server now, there is #ubuntu-server but most of the time folks will be using desktop
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: 644
[06:37] <WindBuntu> is there a specific ubuntu netbook release?
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> Arccchy:  put the commands in a script. run the script as a user, from rc.local is one way
[06:37] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: r=4, w=2, x=1
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> WindBuntu:  not any more
[06:37] <gogeta> WindBuntu: not anymore
[06:37] <fishbait_> okay reboot hope for a miracle here
[06:38] <Arccchy> zz
[06:38] <Arccchy> okay thanks
[06:38] <JohnTeddy> I have two screens, how can I turn off the bar on the right screen. I only want one bar, not two.
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> JohnTeddy:  in 12.04 its a setting in the tools somewhere.. displays tool perhaops
[06:39] <JohnTeddy> Dr_Willis: That's the spot, thanks.
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> not really the most logical place for that setting...
[06:40] <fishbait_> i am 40 seconds out hopeing for a miracle
[06:42] <fishbait_> it can't read my inter faces file
[06:44] <fishbait_>  i issue ifup eth0 /etc/network/interfaces:10: duplicate option ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces"
[06:44] <fishbait_> oh god why i as just trying to get dns across boots
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: tried wicd-curses?
[06:45] <fishbait_> no but does it require net to get?
[06:45] <L3top> fishbait_: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file, and what does ls -l say about it?
[06:46] <L3top> oh you cant pastebin
[06:46] <L3top> duh
[06:46] <Adonis> ok so grub is definatley not working with my raid for some reason, its still booting to blank screen with blinking curses and i selected grub to install on the partition with ubuntu 12
[06:46] <Adonis> what are my opions.
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: yes, its a great CLI network manager
[06:47] <fishbait_> ls-l says "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 410 jun 11 19:58 /etc/network/interfaces pastebins gonna be a sec txt file > usb drive > laptop> pastebin
[06:47] <L3top> cat /etc/network/interfaces  what does it say with regards to eth0

[06:51] <ActionParsnip> gts: do you have a support question?
[06:51] <fishbait_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036707/ my interfaces file
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: doesn't having 2 interfaces on the same subnet cause issues?
[06:52] <fishbait_> look at the mac addresses same physical interface
[06:52] <fishbait_> and it didn't cause any trouble
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: i see, I thought it'd cause a bit of an issue for routing
[06:53] <gts> huh now u hav my attention
[06:53] <iulian_> hello Ubuntu people!
[06:53] <fishbait_> yeah it happened after i did the switchmod thing

[06:54] <wilee-nilee> state*
[06:54] <iulian_> my wi-fi device won't turn on at all (from network settings)
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> gts: the password for running admin tasks is the one you use to log in with
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: which wifi chip do you use?
[06:55] <iulian_> not sure, how can I check that?
[06:55] <fishbait_> lspci -v
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: sudo lshw -C network
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: if you use ifconfig, can you setup the interface to get web access ok?
[06:55] <wilee-nilee> iulian_, what do these commands say as far as identifying the card. lspci | grep -i wireless    lspci | grep Broadcom
[06:56] <fishbait_> don't know
[06:56] <gts> i don't follow
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> gts: when you are asked for a password, use the one you log in with
[06:57] <phantome> gts if you mean that you are trying to login as root and cannot do that
[06:57] <phantome> log as normal user and write $sudo passwd
[06:57] <phantome> and set your root password
[06:58] <gts> i need to by pass the admin password
[06:58] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/m3dyZJun
[06:58] <wylde_> !noroot phantome
[06:58] <phantome> so, you already have a root password. bad luck..
[06:58] <llutz_> gts: ask your administrator (mommy perhaps) to remove it
[06:58] <fishbait_> whats the command to set it?
[06:59] <L3top> !noroot | phantome
[06:59] <L3top> fishbait can you explain a bit about the network? Is this an ipv6 only situation? Why do you have custom DNS on a static IP?
[06:59] <iulian_> wilee-nilee, http://pastebin.com/5vhWAFs2
[07:00] <gts> come on am in office the i 4 got it
[07:00] <wilee-nilee> iulian_, ActionParsnip is your best help on this I think.
[07:01] <iulian_> wilee-nilee, ok - thanks
[07:01] <L3top> gts what exactly are you trying to do and why?
[07:01] <fishbait_> ipv4 and dns-nameservers was me trying to get it to stay across boots i'd have to enter the dns every time i boot
[07:02] <gts> to install new plugins for my work
[07:02] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, did you see my last pastebin?
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: and the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[07:02] <krababbel> fishbait_: have you read stephane graber's blog post about dns in ubuntu 12.04?
[07:02] <Guest17166> Hey all.
[07:02] <fishbait_> yes thats what prompted me to do that
[07:03] <gts> i can't work with out installing them
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: could add a command in /etc/rc.local to run:    echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" > /etc/resolv.conf
[07:03] <L3top> ActionParsnip: does he need the avahi stuff in there?
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> gts: you can't install anything without your password
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> L3top: what is avahi?
[07:04] <fishbait_> well it worked until the whole chmod business
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: you could copy one from a liveCD I guess
[07:04] <gts> i mean the administration pass word
[07:04] <orca> whats up gayboys
[07:04] <gts> u all can't help
[07:04] <phantome> !noroot
[07:04] <fishbait_> what file?
[07:04] <phantome> !root
[07:05] <Guest17166> /etc/rc.local issue here myself...   doesn't run the commands on boot (yes, it's executable, and runs fine if I run it within Ubuntu.
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> gts: there is no single admin password, there are the users in the 'admin'group whom can use sudo to run admin commands, you use your own password
[07:05] <L3top> it is, as I understand it, a second attempt at getting an ipv4 address typically...  You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information.
[07:05] <gts> so
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> orca: what is the point?
[07:05] <L3top> fishbait_: I would hash out the avahi stuff
[07:05] <llutz_> !ops | orca
[07:05] <iulian__> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/GanZeNMH
[07:05] <fishbait_> okay i'll try it
[07:05] <L3top> fishbait_: you will need to restart the network
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> iulian_can you pastebin the output of:   sudo lshw -C network
[07:06] <iulian__> yes, 1 sec
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> gts: that's not an intelligent answer to what I said
[07:06] <peay> how do i assign zones to my touchpad
[07:06] <gts> how can i network computers with ubuntu
[07:06] <fishbait_> how do i restart the network?
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> gts: connect them and they will get DHCP automatically, you are now networked
[07:06] <gts> actionparnip thanks
[07:07] <Guest17166> gts , install samba?
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> fishbait_: sudo service networking restart
[07:07] <L3top> I still use the depreciated sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[07:07] <Guest17166> nm, misunderstood
[07:07] <peay> how do i assign zones to my touchpad
[07:07] <fishbait_> job failed to start

[07:08] <peay> its a hp dv-6 3122us
[07:08] <peay> ubuntu 12.04
[07:08] <L3top> fishbait_: this is after hashing out the second iteration eth0 with avahi?
[07:08] <fishbait_> yes
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> iulian_do you have a shortcut combo or switch to enable / disable wifi? Also do you dual boot
[07:08] <fishbait_> in nano
[07:08] <Guest17166> peay:  you on a MacBook?
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> peay: why wasn't that in your  first question?
[07:08] <gts> which is the best speed when using torrents
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> gts: torrents with more seeds
[07:08] <iulian__> yes, I have a physical wi-fi/bluetooth switcher on my laptop
[07:09] <peay> how do i assign zones to my hp dv-6 3122us touchpad
[07:09] <iulian__> and I have dual boot: windows and ubuntu
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> iulian_in windows device manager, disable the ability for the device to wake up the OS
[07:09] <gts> like which 1
[07:09] <fishbait_> actually mine worked after disable ability to power off device to save power
[07:10] <fishbait_> not disable wake on lan
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> yeah, windows is annoyinig like that, and junky
[07:11] <Guest17166> any reason why an (executable) /etc/rc.local file wouldn't run the commands on boot, when it runs them fine if I run the file itself?
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> gts: which one what?
[07:12] <rishabhmehrotra>    whois rishabhmehrotra
[07:12] <gartral> hey all, I'm trying too remove pulseaudio, or at least disable it... and switch off for JACK becuse I need it on this system for an internet dj gig.. any ideas on how to do this?
[07:12] <gts> is possible to network windows with ubuntu
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> gts: yes
[07:12] <gts> and how
[07:12] <llutz_> Guest17166: do you call the file with full path from rc.local?
[07:12] <gts> coz i prefer ubuntu
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> gts: the 2 use many standards so communication on its many forms can take place
[07:13] <L3top> fishbait_: Is this a wifi connection? Can I see the output of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[07:13] <peay> how do i assign zones to my hp dv-6 3122us touchpad : ubuntu 12.04
[07:13] <MonkeyDust> gts  are you now in windows?
[07:13] <fishbait_> it wired.
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> gts: you can use evolution to connect to Exchange and get your emails
[07:14] <Guest17166> llutz_  the commands are amixer set IEC958 off     and    amixer set Speaker,1 on
[07:14] <gts> the machines in office some hv ubuntu and others hv win7
[07:14] <llutz_> Guest17166: use full pathes in rc.local, it has a very limited environment
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> gts: ok, that's not incredibly important but details are handy
[07:14] <Guest17166> llutz_ (to disable optical output so i can use headphones)
[07:15] <gts> give me the basic in the connection
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> gts: if you ping the remote server you will have made a 'connection'
[07:15] <L3top> I am confused about <fishbait_> actually mine worked after disable ability to power off device to save power
[07:15] <gts> ok thanks all
[07:15] <Guest17166> llutz_   limited only on boot?    ...if i double click and run rc.local right now it works.
[07:16] <L3top> Guest17166: It is running before alsa is up
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> well, that was easy
[07:16] <kapz> Hi can anyone tell me how to open password protected odf files in android?
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> kapz: android isn't supported here, this is ubuntu support
[07:17] <Guest17166> L3top: Well crap...   any workaround for this?
[07:17] <L3top> I would setup a script in init.d to run after alsa starts.
[07:17] <llutz_> Guest17166: put a script into ~/.config/autostart to be run at login
[07:17] <fishbait_> L3top http://paste.ubuntu.com/1036725/
[07:18] <peay> how do i assign zones to my hp dv-6 3122us touchpad : ubuntu 12.04
[07:18] <babak> mdadm: /dev/md/P-79:0_0 how do I clone this to a single disk?
[07:18] <Guest17166> L3top: llutz_ I'll give it a whirl!  brb with results.
[07:19] <MonkeyDust> peay  i'm not familiar with it myself, but start here http://askubuntu.com/questions/113594/adding-tap-zones-to-synaptics-touch-pad
[07:19] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, this function was disabled in windows, I've also disabled the ability of OS to turn off when battery is low
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: do you have a shotcut to enable / disable wifi?
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: does the system have a make and model?
[07:20] <L3top> fishbait_: STuff is missing there. I would expect that line to end with KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
[07:20] <iulian_> Sony Vaio VPCY2
[07:20] <fishbait_> i did the switchmod12.04 to get my r8168b rev03 nic to work
[07:20] <L3top> fishbait_: what I would do, is mv that file to someplace like ~/Documents and reboot. It will be recreated as it is missing.
[07:20] <iulian_> shortcut you mean a physical button?
[07:21] <fishbait_> ok
[07:21] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, what shortcut do you mean, a physical button?
[07:22] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, the make and model of my system is: Sony Vaio VPCY2
[07:22] <L3top> fishbait_: take a look at it after reboot/recreation and see if the eth0 is in there
[07:22] <_Tristan> Hey. I've got the default ubuntu innodb setup, and I'm doing a massive import which cannot be paused. Is there a way I can speed it up without having to restart the server?
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: yes or a shortcut on the keyboard...
[07:23] <gartral> if I try and remove something that wants too remove ubuntu-desktop, is that safe?
[07:23] <iulian_> yes, I have such button, it's turned on
[07:23] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, yes, I have such button, it's turned on
[07:23] <peay> monkeydust: im trying to disable the bottom part of my touchpad
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: tried switching it, just to tes?
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> *test
[07:24] <iulian_> bluetooth reacts, but wi-fi not
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: or try running:  sudo rfkill unblock all
[07:24] <peay> monkeydust: i need the buttons to keep functionality but not to move the mouse
[07:25] <fishbait_> ok 120 seconds and we'll know the results
[07:25] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, no changes :(
[07:26] <fishbait_> this is how i got my r8168 to work in the first place http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958899
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: if you run:  dmesg | grep -i firm      do you see any firmwares missing at all?
[07:26] <smw-tab> Hi all. I have a very weird problem.  Grub is not booting. All I get is a black screen with a blinking cursor. I went into the recovery mode of my alternative live CD and was able to see my HD and files. I then did a rub install but that did not work either.
[07:26] <smw-tab> Grub install*
[07:27] <fishbait_> is the partition active?
[07:27] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, it says: [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
[07:27] <smw-tab> Also, I am talking from a tablet. Input is slow
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: that's fine. If you unload then reload the kernel module, does it help?
[07:27] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, how to do that?
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> smw-tab: what video chip do you use?
[07:27] <_Tristan> oops, I was in the wrong room...
[07:27] <xGrub11> i'm search for Quran repositories for Xubuntu 11.10? will someone tell me the app's name
[07:27] <L3top> smw-tab: Has it ever worked?
[07:28] <xGrub11> if some one know, tell me please..
[07:28] <xGrub11> thanks before
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: in your lshw output, read the bottom bit and it will say  driver=something   what is the driver name?
[07:28] <smw-tab> L3top: yes. It worked before. Forgot to mention I just installed virtual box
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> smw-tab: what video chip does the system use?
[07:29] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: not sure. But I did not update that...
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> xGrub11: http://packages.ubuntu.com
[07:29] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: I will check
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> smw-tab: does the system have a make and model?
[07:29] <BigVooDooDaddy> do i have to set up sshd_config to allow ssh key logins?
[07:29] <xGrub11> okey thank you
[07:29] <Sidvee> There are few update recommendation by update Manager, but I can't download+install them due to proxy. What is the way to do so using terminal?
[07:29] <error4o4> How to I remove SSH private key access for a user?
[07:30] <xGrub11> ActionParsnip: thanks.
[07:30] <BigVooDooDaddy> Guys, what im doing wrong: local machine:[ssh-keygen -t rsa] [scp -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remotemachine:~/.ssh/authorized_keys]  but when i try to ssh into the remote, it does requires me password, and its not from the key
[07:30] <xGrub11> S0Lo?
[07:30] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: HP pavilion hpe-210f
[07:30] <fishbait_> O.O its blank
[07:30] <S0lo> yes
[07:30] <S0lo> hello xGrub11
[07:31] <L3top> xGrub11: there is a study tool zekr and othman is just a browse util.
[07:31] <fishbait_> 70-persistent-net.rules is blank
[07:31] <gogeta> Sidvee: i think you can configue it to use a proxy
[07:31] <xGrub11> hello solo, are you from Solo?
[07:31] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, driver=atl1c driverversion=<IP_ADDRESS>-NAPI
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> xGrub11: if sabily has it's own ppa you can install a Quran app from there but have you search software centre first ?
[07:31] <Sidvee> gogeta: How can I do that? Steps please.
[07:31] <L3top> fishbait_: lspci | grep thernet
[07:31] <MonkeyDust> error4o4  it's in ~/.ssh/known_hosts
[07:31] <raintheory> llutz_ :  I added a bash script to the ~/.config/autostart folder containing the commnds and it worked like a charm!  Thanks!
[07:31] <L3top> fishbait_: your hw is not being seen... is the bottom line almost without doubt.
[07:31] <xGrub11> L3top: xGrub11: there is a study tool zekr and othman is just a browse util. Nice info. Thanks. i've read it in Software Center
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: ok then run:   sudo modprobe -r atl1c; sleep 2; sudo modprobe atl1c
[07:32] <Sidvee> "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> smw-tab: is the Ubuntu OS installed in virtualbox or actually on the system?
[07:32] <kapz> ActionParsnip, yeah but this was last resort...also I thought many ubuntu users will have knowledge about libreoffice  and android
[07:32] <xGrub11> but i wanna try the different one if it exist...
[07:32] <llutz_> BigVooDooDaddy: read about "Match" in man sshd_config
[07:32] <Sidvee> How can I view the value of http_proxy?
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> kapz: the OS you are having issue with is Android, not ubuntu
[07:32] <gogeta> Sidvee: settings i assume
[07:32] <fishbait_> rtl8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)
[07:32] <raintheory> Anyone familiar with wineasio?
[07:32] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: radon HD 5450
[07:33] <xGrub11> but by the way thanks... i've download it...
[07:33] <BigVooDooDaddy> llutz_: ty
[07:33] <kapz> not the os but the app libreoffice...
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> Sidvee: echo $http_proxy
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> kapz: you said you wanted to open it in Android....
[07:33] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: trying to chroot and start x
[07:33] <kapz> but anyways THANK YOU for clarifying all my doubts
[07:33] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, I ran that, it restarted my network adapter, but still no changes
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> kapz: am I not wrong?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> (08:16:40) kapz: Hi can anyone tell me how to open password protected odf files in android?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> kapz: how is that an Ubuntu support issue?
[07:34] <kapz> odf files ... openopffice/libreoffice format also, <kapz> ActionParsnip, yeah but this was last resort...also I thought many ubuntu users will have knowledge about libreoffice  and android
[07:35] <gogeta> smw-tab: you need a vnc for that
[07:35] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: interesting. It looks like it is mounted read only
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> kapz: its still offtopic here as I stated, the rest of your statement is mooted by that simple fact
[07:35] <llutz_> BigVooDooDaddy: add soemthing like "Match thatbaduser \n PubkeyAuthentication no"
[07:35] <MonkeyDust> raintheory  apparently it's an audio tool or something, try asking in #ubuntu-studio
[07:35] <kapz> Again THANKS!
[07:35] <L3top> fishbait_: Very interesting. I do not know how it is being generated blank if it can see it... My guess is that it is not live until afterwords... that is one of the weirdos. Can you follow those steps in that link AGAIN to try and get your nic recognized at the onset? You can also add: KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" to the end of the file you moved to documents, and move it back...
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> kapz: its massively simple
[07:35] <kapz> Yeah right..
[07:35] <raintheory> MonkeyDust: thx
[07:35] <MonkeyDust> raintheory  correction : apparently it's an audio tool or something, try asking in #ubuntustudio
[07:36] <Sidvee> where to find bashrc?
[07:36] <fishbait_> okay reinstall it is
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> Sidvee: ~/.bashrc   is the file
[07:36] <raintheory> MonkeyDust: noted
[07:36] <xGrub11> Thanks.
[07:36] <llutz_> Match USer thatbaduser*
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> smw-tab: sounds like you need an fsck to make sure its healthy
[07:37] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: how can I tell if it is read only or not?
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> smw-tab: run:   mount    and it will say
[07:38] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: nm not to
[07:38] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, what do you think can be the problem about my wi-fi? nothing workek so far, and I had the same unsolved problem with my previous version of Ubuntu. I hate that I have to stick with windows because of that :(
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: not sure, are there bugs reported for the chip?
[07:39] <fishbait_> 120 seconds
[07:39] <iulian_> in windows it works smoothly
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> iulian_: its a completely different OS with completely different support
[07:40] <fishbait_> in windows r8168 works smoothly in soviet linux i work for r8168
[07:40] <smw-tab> ActionParsnip: I will load gparted and fsck. Want me to keep you updated?
[07:40] <Ormie> Can some one suggest something for me?
[07:40] <fishbait_> i just made me lol
[07:40] <peay> why do application take a long time to open
[07:41] <peay> 2-4 seconds
[07:41] <Ormie> Is there any desktop environment that is easy to use and it's on unity?
[07:41] <iulian_> ActionParsnip, I got you, I will look in forums after this particular chip, maybe you have any other idea how to fix the prob?
[07:41] <Ormie> not*
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> peay: high CPU load, busy HDD, slow HDD....
[07:41] <bazhang> !notunity | Ormie
[07:41] <gogeta> Ormie: everything else
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> Ormie: unity isn't a desktop environment
[07:42] <L3top> Well fishbait_ it is really nice when hw manufacturers write drivers for you, rather than having to reverse engineer and write your own against closed source, esp on hw that causes conflicts with other stuff. It isn't like windows did anything special.
