[09:20] <Calinou> huh*
[09:21] <poc>
[09:22] <Ebolla> anyone know a clean way to auto mount NTFS for Samba/Torrent usage?
[09:22] <rafnews> hi everybody, i need help with vsftpd. i get a refused connection
[09:22] <air139> Kernel panic during a verion upgrade of the os, now boots into a broken login screen, live cd does not see the old OS to upgrade, where do I go from here
[09:24] <captine> nimbos, i have been playing and will reboot my router soon.  seems 40mhz wasnt active and bunch of other things, so probably not an Ubuntu issue.
[09:26] <rafnews> help needed for vsftp issue. someone can help me plz ?
[09:29] <air139> Kernel panic during a verion upgrade of the os, now boots into a broken login screen, live cd does not see the old OS to upgrade, how do I go about recovery from here?
[09:30] <SoulTrain> How do I make sure if I have an Independent Ubuntu installation in its defined Filesystem (EXT4) or not (installed in windows)
[09:31] <joooo72> guys having problems with grub-install working on a 3TB disk (presuming it's GPT)
[09:31] <joooo72> any work arounds for this?
[09:31] <kanliot> SoulTrain, did you use wubi?
[09:32] <SoulTrain> kanliot:  Dont know. I instaled from USB drive
[09:33] <Chiko> dumb question how do i get into the terminal in ubuntu 12 oO;
[09:33] <Moonlightning> Is it possible to install Ubuntu over the network using another computer?
[09:33] <k1l_> SoulTrain: did you boot into windows and launch the installation there? or did you boot up the linux live version to install?
[09:34] <Moonlightning> My friend has a Mac and a PC laptop and wants to install Ubuntu on the PC, but the disc drive is broken…
[09:34] <k1l_> Chiko: press: crtl+alt+t
[09:34] <cfhowlett> Moonlightning: yep.  can't remember what the method is called though..
[09:34] <Chiko> thanks
[09:34] <SoulTrain> I boot with Live USB did not run it in Windows
[09:34] <Chiko> how was i meant to know that? :P
[09:34] <k1l_> Chiko: or type terminal into the launcher? o_O
[09:34] <Chiko> yeah that was the first thing i tried
[09:34] <Chiko> used to it just being in the menu on ubuntu 9/10
[09:35] <cfhowlett> Moonlightning: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[09:35] <k1l_> SoulTrain: than it shopuld be a regular install then
[09:35] <Chiko> ah double click the wierd looking thing at top left
[09:35] <k1l_> SoulTrain: just take a look at the partitions table (sudo fdisk -l (small L ))
[09:35] <kanliot> SoulTrain, will it boot without the usb drive?
[09:35] <Moonlightning> cfhowlett: cool, thanks
[09:35] <k1l_> Chiko: just press the windows button and start typing
[09:36] <Chiko> yeah just noticed it thanks
[09:36] <cfhowlett> Moonlightning: have fun, be safe
[09:36] <Moonlightning> heehee, thanks
[09:37] <SoulTrain> kanliot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1155046/
[09:37] <k1l_> SoulTrain: that looks fine to me
[09:38] <air139> panic during a verion upgrade of the os, now boots into a broken login screen, live cd does not see the old OS to upgrade, how do I go about recovery from here?
[09:38] <Moonlightning> cfhowlett: does the server there /have/ to be a Linux machine? We only have a Mac and a Windows machine…
[09:38] <k1l_> SoulTrain: you can see the last two partitions are the ubuntu ones.
[09:38] <air139> Direct message me please, losing track in all the sys messages
[09:38] <cfhowlett> Moonlightning: sorry, I only know OF the method.   Never done it myself.  Like so many things I could mention ...
[09:38] <Moonlightning> 6_9
[09:40] <k1l_> Moonlightning: im not sure. but if so you could boot a ubuntu-cd/stick on the windows maschine ?
[09:40] <Moonlightning> k1l_: disc drive is broken.
[09:40] <Moonlightning> We're looking around for a USB stick…
[09:41] <Moonlightning> But we might not have one. 9_6
[09:42] <air139> panic during a verion upgrade of the os, now boots into a broken login screen, live cd does not see the old OS to upgrade, how do I go about recovery from here?
[09:43] <TJ-> Moonlightning: I've only just joined the room; would you mind restating your problem?
[09:44] <Moonlightning> TJ-: trying to see if there's a way to install Ubuntu on a PC laptop with a broken disc drive, without using a USB stick or an Ethernet cable, and with just a working Mac laptop.
[09:44] <delkin> I messed up my X by installing the newer version of NVidia drivers. Now I am stuck with the shell... Can someone help me roll back the situation?
[09:45] <TJ-> Moonlightning: Well I was about to say PXE network boot but you shot me down! But if the laptop has a broken HDD where would you install Ubuntu to?
[09:46] <TJ-> Moonlightning: You could boot it from a LiveCD that has been burnt to disk using the Mac?
[09:46] <Moonlightning> TJ-: broken /disc/ drive, i.e. optical, so no CDs
[09:47] <Atlantic777> is cdimage.ubuntu.com up? I can't download lubuntu install images.
[09:47] <SoulTrain> k1l_: Thank you
[09:47] <TJ-> Oh OK, so it has a HDD available. What I'd do is pull the HDD out, connect it as a slave drive to another PC, then install Ubuntu to it from a Live CD/USB image then return it to the 'broken' PC
[09:47] <Ebolla> Moonlightning:  FYI HDD = Hard /Disc/ Drive so that was a valid.    But try doing a network install over the wireless.
[09:48] <Moonlightning> I thought /discs/ were the round things. 6_8
[09:48] <Moonlightning> 6_9 *
[09:48] <TJ-> Moonlightning: Generally we call CD/DVDs ... CD/DVDs :p
[09:48] <Moonlightning> What about Blu—*shot*
[09:48] <TJ-> BDs
[09:48] <SoulTrain> is it possible to use "Compiz visual effects" with  LXDE?
[09:49] <Ebolla> Moonlightning:  You've never seen the platters inside a HDD?  They are round.
[09:49] <Moonlightning> …lol
[09:49] <chroot> how to remove an empty line in a file?
[09:49] <Moonlightning> Fair enough.
[09:50] <Moonlightning> The entire thing is not round, though…
[09:50] <TJ-> Moonlightning: Another thought occurs to me - you'd still need to be able to pull the HDD out and attach it to the Mac - install Ubuntu to a virtual machine raw image  (that's a file) on the Mac then write the contents of the raw VM file directly to the attached HDD, then return it to the broken PC
[09:50] <Ebolla> Technically a CD Drive. DVD Drive, and BR Drive are not round either.
[09:51] <Moonlightning> I'll jus say /optical disc/ then XD
[09:51] <TJ-> Moonlightning: If you use a *raw* image file as the backing for a VM it is literally just like a small hard disk. The first byte of data in it is the same as on a physical HDD
[09:51] <Ebolla> kk lol
[09:51] <Moonlightning> Ebolla: no, but the entire discs themselves are.
[09:51] <TJ-> OK... let's focus on the easy problem here... We can't make round discs square :p
[09:51] <Moonlightning> TJ-: seems a bit complicated. Wouldn't you need some special kind of cable to do that? XD
[09:52] <Moonlightning> …yes we can.
[09:52] <Moonlightning> brb - getting chainsaw
[09:52] <TJ-> Moonlightning: don't blame me for being complicated! you set the restrictions! :D
[09:52] <TJ-> Go get/borrow/steal a network cable :p
[09:52] <Moonlightning> I didn't set the restrictions! We just don't have the hardware! >.<
[09:53] <air139> panic during a verion upgrade of the os, now boots into a broken login screen, live cd does not see the old OS to upgrade, how do I go about recovery from here?
[09:53] <Moonlightning> !repeat | air139
[09:53] <TJ-> Moonlightning: You set them on me! I'm telling you the only way you can do it without access to a USB or optical boot device
[09:54] <air139> waited the 5-10 minutes described in the room rule
[09:54] <air139> s
[09:54] <k1l_> air139: try the recovery login and go with apt-get -f install?
[09:54] <Moonlightning> TJ-: you can't do a netinstall without a /Linux/ server?
[09:55] <SoulTrain> Any idea? is it possible to use "Compiz visual effects" with  LXDE?
[09:55] <Moonlightning> …actually, hmm…I have a Linux /server/-server, but it's not on the LAN…might that work?
[09:55] <k1l_> air139: support only here in the channel pls
[09:55] <air139> its so crowded
[09:55] <air139> k1l_: so just run that in the terminal in the live cd?
[09:55] <TJ-> Moonlightning: Sure you can, from a PXE/TFTP server. Set one up on your Mac and you could. But generally novices find configuring PXE/TFTP difficult since it is complex. And you'd still need an ethernet cable. You can't do it wirelessly
[09:55] <bobvdv> Hi all
[09:56] <bobvdv> I've got a minor question
[09:56] <Moonlightning> TJ-: okay…
[09:56] <k1l_> air139: but yes. select the recovery entry on grub. and then try that command. BUT before all that i would recommend you to boot up a live-system (usb or cd) and backup your data
[09:56] <TJ-> Moonlightning: Does that laptop have a working operating system installation right now?
[09:56] <joooo72> GUYS
[09:56] <Moonlightning> TJ-: yeah, the laptop runs Windows.
[09:56] <Guest61688> ciao a tutti ho un problema con virtual box qualcuno mi può aiutare grazie
[09:56] <joooo72> are there any known issues about using grub-install on a 3tb GPT ?
[09:56] <Moonlightning> Uhh… ^
[09:56] <joooo72> seems to keep failing for me
[09:56] <Moonlightning> What language is that? XD
[09:56] <lotuspsychje> !it | Guest61688
[09:56] <TJ-> Moonlightning: And can Windows via Wireless talk to the Internet?
[09:56] <Ebolla> Use windows to install ubuntu then with the win executable
[09:57] <Moonlightning> Err, don't want to use Wubi.
[09:57] <bobvdv> I've installed 12.04 on my MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010, it all works perfectly, yet it seems that the digital audio out is always on (the red light is on when you look in the audio jack port)
[09:57] <Moonlightning> I heard it's easier to get running, but harder to fix when things go wrong.
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> vbox perhaps
[09:57] <TJ-> Moonlightning: You can install using wubi, then use the wubi installation to install properly
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> wubi is fragile
[09:57] <bobvdv> I'm curious as to how this affects my MacBook and if I should do something about it.
[09:57] <altin> can anyone help me, every video I play online is lagging :S
[09:57] <Guest61688>  /join #ubuntu-it
[09:57] <Moonlightning> TJ-: okay, how do we do that?
[09:57] <altin> I think is because of flashplayer
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> altin: you mean every flash video:
[09:58] <Moonlightning> TJ-: and yes, the laptop has a working Internet connection
[09:58] <TJ-> Moonlightning: If in Windows you first *shrink* the partition that Windows is using so the HDD has plenty of free space at the end, then getting Ubuntu installed later is much easier
[09:58] <air139> k1l_: having small issues finding out how to access grub without the live cd
[09:58] <altin> Dr_Willis: yes
[09:58] <Moonlightning> TJ-: doesn't the Wubi installer have an option to do that?
[09:58] <TJ-> Moonlightning: On Windows Vista and later, in Disk Management, you can select and shrink a partition containing the running windows system
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> altin: i use flash downntions or the flashvideoreplacer extension
[09:59] <Squarepy> TJ-, Moonlightning , I use gparted for that
[09:59] <TJ-> Moonlightning: I doubt it! wubi installs itself into a raw image file on the Windows NTFS file-system
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> downloaders
[09:59] <Boreeas> I seem to be unable to switch windows on Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome 3. Both the Win key and the top left corner don't react, and Alt+Tab lets me switch windows, but mouse input is still only registered in the previous window
[09:59] <joooo72> HELLO
[09:59] <altin> Dr_Willis: is that a plugin for firefox or what ?
[09:59] <joooo72> IS THERE A PROBLEM
[09:59] <Moonlightning> !caps | joooo72
[10:00] <joooo72> WITH GRUB-INSTALL ON A GPT DISK
[10:00] <TJ-> Moonlightning: Besides, I trust the windows tool more than I do the ntfs-3g tools that Linux would use
[10:00] <air139> k1l_: okay can't get the system to boot the old os, I can see the files if Imount them though
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> altin: yes - several plugins out that do similer jobs
[10:00] <joooo72> sorry caps gets attention
[10:00] <joooo72> no-one responding
[10:00] <bobvdv> hmm, anyone have an idea about the red light in my audio-port?
[10:00] <Moonlightning> !patience | joooo72
[10:01] <TJ-> bobvdv: red light? Isn't that an optical out port?
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> caps get ignored..
[10:01] <Squarepy> Moonlightning, with gparted I can also create the ext2 and swaps space before running the ubuntu live cd, is not essential but windows doesn't have to work for it to work
[10:01] <Squarepy> ;)
[10:01] <joooo72> lower case gets ignored too
[10:01] <TJ-> Squarepy: You're confusing the issue.
[10:01] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> How can I see which user I am in the terminal?
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> joooo72: no one even remembers your question now.
[10:01] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> I'm currently logged in as root.
[10:01] <llutz> Afflicto-[ubuntu: "whoami"
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> Afflicto-[ubuntu: 'whoami' command
[10:02] <Squarepy> TJ-, how so?
[10:02] <joooo72> Dr_Willis, are there problems with grub-install working on a GPT 3TB disk
[10:02] <TJ-> Squarepy: He doesn't have the option of using an Ubuntu install media; but he does have access to a working Windows
[10:02] <altin> Dr_Willis: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashvideoreplacer/
[10:02] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> Ah ok, so it says Root. How do I get out of root?
[10:02] <Squarepy> TJ-, ok, sure
[10:02] <bobvdv> TJ, indeed, but it's always on, can I disable it? It has no use for me as I have no digital connection.
[10:02] <llutz> Afflicto-[ubuntu: ctrl-d
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> altin: get it from its homepage. i recall, or find a similer extention
[10:02] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> Thanks :)
[10:03] <bobvdv> TJ-, When I work in OS X, it's always off.
[10:03] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> it says dvs@ubuntu - but on the top right on the bar it says "dreamvoid". confusing is dreamvoid the nice name and dvs the username?
[10:03] <TJ-> Squarepy: He has not network cable, a broken optical driver, and only Wifi connection from Windows. Short of pulling the HDD and attaching it to another PC, installing via wubi first then using wubi to bootstrap into a raw HDD install seems the only option
[10:03] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> top right being where the clock is etc.
[10:03] <joooo72> see
[10:03] <joooo72> no one answers when it's lowercase
[10:03] <TJ-> bobvdv: I've no experience of controlling the optical port, sorry.
[10:04] <joooo72> i bet if i upepr case it ill start to get some feedback
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> joooo72: if no one knows.....
[10:04] <air139> k going to go hit buttons untill this works, pray to the RNG :/
[10:04] <TJ-> Afflicto-[ubuntu: Yes
[10:04] <llutz> joooo72: you already got your feedback: you'll be ignored in future if you don't respect the rules
[10:05] <bobvdv> TJ-, no problem, thanks for listening though. I don't think it'll hurt my hardware so it's not the end of the world :)
[10:05] <joooo72> where are the rules?
[10:05] <TJ-> joooo72: you'll get muted if you spam the channel with repeats
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> i belive searching at askubuntu.com was suggested joooo72
[10:05] <TJ-> bobvdv: I can imagine it'd be annoying on a dark night!
[10:05] <Afflicto[ubuntu]> Tj-: k thx
[10:05] <bobvdv> TJ-, in that case I'll put a piece of black tape over it :P
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> my optical audio ports had a little black cap/plug over them
[10:06] <TJ-> bobvdv: Very high-tech :D
[10:06] <TJ-> Dr_Willis: yeah, so do mine. bobvdv find your little black bit!
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> he prob found it on the floor and dident know what it was
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> i have no idea what that optical thing plugs info....
[10:07] <bobvdv> TJ-, if they can fix stuff on the ISS using duck tape, it's quite high tech indeed :D
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> old skool high end audio? ;)
[10:07] <bobvdv> TJ-, I meant duct tape
[10:07] <TJ-> bobvdv: Ahh but they spent $billions on designing that tape
[10:08] <bekks> joooo72: Please STOP sending notices all users.
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> i belive searching at askubuntu.com was suggested joooo72
[10:08] <TJ-> He's history
[10:08] <bobvdv> Dr_Willis, the optical port is integrated in my minijack port on my Macbook Pro. So no black cap
[10:08] <TJ-> bobvdv: have you searched for this issue on the ubuntu forums?
[10:09] <bobvdv> TJ-, indeed I have, but most information seems outdated or not related to my problem
[10:09] <TJ-> bobvdv: Did you see this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1/Natty#Sound
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> so some surround sound systems have a optical in to channel all 7.1 or whatever audio to them?
[10:09] <bobvdv> TJ-, on the other hand I've always been quite the bad Googler
[10:10] <TJ-> bobvdv: From that it tells me you need a way to flip the toggle on the "S/PDIF" port, either via the Sound Control GUI or a terminal app like ALSA mixer
[10:10] <bobvdv> TJ-, thanks, hadn't seen that page yet
[10:10] <bobvdv> was searching on askubuntu
[10:10] <Boreeas> I seem to be unable to switch windows on Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome 3. Both the Win key and the top left corner don't react, and Alt+Tab lets me switch windows, but mouse input is still only registered in the previous window.
[10:10] <Boreeas> Does anyone have an idea how to fix that?
[10:11] <TJ-> bobvdv: I think the first thing you do is try using alsamixer from the command line to prove it can toggle that port
[10:11] <TJ-> bobvdv: Then you can figure out how to do that from the GUI, or save the setting permanently
[10:11] <bobvdv> the toggling worked
[10:11] <bobvdv> Thanks TJ-
[10:13] <TJ-> bobvdv: Yay! That's a good start to the day :)
[10:13] <BrenRS_> How do I view the list of processes running?
[10:13] <TJ-> BrenRS: From GUI or terminal?
[10:14] <BrenRS_> terminal please
[10:14] <llutz> BrenRS_: ps aux
[10:14] <BrenRS_> thanks :)
[10:14] <TJ-> BrenRS: "ps -ef" or for more info "ps -efly"
[10:14] <BrenRS_> is there a keyboard shortcut for opening terminal?
[10:14] <bobvdv> ps aux | more
[10:15] <TJ-> BrenRS: I'm not sure... depends on the release and desktop I think
[10:15] <BrenRS_> it's 12.04
[10:15] <TJ-> bobvdv: llutz I try to avoid the BSD option formats ... pedantic I know :p
[10:15] <bobvdv> CTRL ALT T
[10:15] <llutz> TJ-: do whatever you prefer
[10:16] <bobvdv> BrenRS, does ctrl-alt-t work for you? I use it all the time :)
[10:16] <TJ-> bobvdv: thanks! I spend all my time in the terminal so never need to hotkey it. Never knew that
[10:16] <TJ-> llutz: ahhh, you didn't get my subtle humour :p
[10:17] <Afflicto[ubuntu]> What do I look for if I want to kill\terminate all lampp\xampp related processes? I just looked for apache,mysql etc couldn't find anything but it seems its still running.
[10:17] <Name141> Is there going to be a schedualed release soon ?
[10:17] <bobvdv> TJ-, I do a lot of work in GUI and terminal so it's one of my most used shortcuts. Along with ctrl alt L (for when I don't want my coworkers changing my dasktop and homepage)
[10:17] <bazhang> Afflicto[ubuntu], lampp xampp is not supported , use lamp only
[10:17] <bazhang> !xampp | Afflicto[ubuntu]
[10:17] <tacirus> Hello, is there anybody speaking russian here?
[10:18] <bazhang> tacirus, in #ubuntu-ru
[10:18] <kake123> hello forum
[10:18] <Afflicto[ubuntu]> Oh, ok.. I guess I'll try that then.
[10:18] <tacirus> bazhang: thank u
[10:18] <kake123> can anyone advise me on LiveCD NTFS recovery
[10:19] <Afflicto[ubuntu]> how do I delete a directory and all its contents? is it mr -r path/to/dir?
[10:19] <bekks> kake123: Whats your actual problem then?
[10:19] <k1l_> Afflicto[ubuntu]: its "rm" like remove
[10:20] <kake123> i am using version 10.10 liveCD and it stops at busybox
[10:20] <Sagenth> I thought it was rmdir
[10:20] <TJ-> Sagenth: only if the directory is empty
[10:20] <bekks> kake123: 10.10 isnt supported anymore.
[10:20] <llutz> Sagenth: rmdir only removes empty directories
[10:20] <Sagenth> good to know
[10:20] <Moosers> Hello; I am a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS user. I tried to boot with "OpenBox" but it faild. It does nothing, Just a dark screen after I type my userlogin password. Is it possible to go back to Ubuntu3D some how?
[10:20] <cfhowlett> !eol|kake123:
[10:20] <kake123> I need to mount NTFS and delete an NTFS transaction file
[10:21] <bekks> kake123: Which doesnt make 10.10 to be supported :) Use a supported liveCD version.
[10:21] <kake123> ok fair enough
[10:21] <cfhowlett> Moosers: reboot.  choose your user name and select your desktop environment.
[10:22] <Sagenth> Okay I got a huge problem, that I have no clue how to fix other than to restore from my initial backup
[10:22] <Sagenth> I installed nvidia's proprietary drivers from the system settings, and now my window manager appears to be completely gone
[10:22] <kake123> Using 12.04 it stops at loading boot logo....i checked some info posts and most replies state redownload and checksum
[10:23] <bekks> kake123: Did you do that?
[10:23] <Moosers> cfhowlett:  What I see after I reboot is a different user login password screen (blue color) and its shows me a dark screen after I login. Thats all.
[10:23] <TJ-> Sagenth: boot to a recovery environment, then investigate the logs in /var/log/
[10:23] <Sagenth> is there a hotkey like in windows?
[10:23] <Sagenth> F8?
[10:23] <TJ-> kake123: checksum it first, then re-download if the checksum is bad
[10:23] <Moosers> cfhowlett: There is no screen that i can choose the desktop environment.
[10:23] <cfhowlett> kake123: ALWAYS checksum your iso before you install.  You should checksum the iso you installed from.
[10:24] <TJ-> Sagenth: Hold down SHIFT as soon as the BIOS messages show, until you get the Ubuntu boot menu
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth:  try 'startx' at the recovery/text mode consoles also. may give an error message . you can usxe weechat or irssi at the console to irc and get help from here
[10:24] <kake123> no not yet, just interested, is it to do with data block sizes? that an ISO can fail a checksum
[10:24] <cfhowlett> Moosers: not a screen for DE.  You should be able to select a session for unity.
[10:24] <Sagenth> Oh wait actually yes Dr_Willis it did give a message
[10:25] <bekks> kake123: It has to do with corrupted data, not with data block sizes, when a checksum fails.
[10:25] <Sagenth> it tells me "Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 304.37 but this NVIDIA driver component has version 295.49. Please.. etc"
[10:25] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth:  this is 12.04 right?
[10:25] <Sagenth> that last part is not quoted
[10:25] <Sagenth> yes it is
[10:26] <TJ-> Sagenth: You have tried to install 2 different versions of the nvidia driver apparently
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth: reinstall the nvidia-current package would be my guess
[10:26] <Moosers> When I start the pc It takes me Multiple Boot screen between Windows And Ubuntu. Then I choose ubuntu and Hit Enter then this password screen appeart and then the dark screen. Thats it
[10:26] <Sagenth> I think this most definitely has to do with installing up-to-date drivers via terminal and then installing drivers from system settings afterwards
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth: or are you using the drivers from nvidia.com?
[10:26] <TJ-> Sagenth: 304.37 isn't in the Ubuntu side yet as far as I'm aware
[10:26] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth: bingo.....
[10:26] <kake123> i looked at knoppix and rescuecd, i think they fail because there is no .EXE in the root of the ISO.
[10:26] <Sagenth> If I can fix this problem, I will tell you guys what I was trying to fix in the first place >,>
[10:26] <TJ-> Sagenth: You need to clean out/uninstall the manual installation
[10:26] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset > Moosers
[10:27] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth: i only use whats in the repos.
[10:27] <bekks> kake123: You are entirely wrong.
[10:27] <bekks> kake123: Linux doesnt know and doesnt care about .exe files at all.
[10:27] <Sagenth> the terminal installation worked great actually
[10:27] <cfhowlett> kake123: linux doesn't use .exe files.
[10:27] <TJ-> Sagenth: No it didn't - because it didn't package the changes it made so Ubuntu can undo them
[10:27] <Sagenth> but I was still having a particular problem so i thought they didn't install or something
[10:27] <Dr_Willis> wine sol.exe dosent count. ;)
[10:27] <kake123> i am referring to an intel machine using it as a boot rescue disk
[10:28] <bekks> kake123: Which doesnt change the fact that linux doesnt use .exe files at all.
[10:28] <kake123> i am trying to restore an NTFS disk and get windows going again
[10:28] <Sagenth> okay well I've got a backup from before hand
[10:28] <TJ-> Sagenth: when the package-manager is not used files can be replaced on the system that we have no way of knowing about
[10:28] <Sagenth> how do I restore? from terminal
[10:28] <bekks> kake123: Then compare the checksum of the iso you downloaded.
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth: id remove the drivers from nvidia.com and reinstall nvidia-current
[10:28] <cfhowlett> kake123: are you dual booting ubuntu and windows from the same machine?
[10:28] <kake123> so how does the computer boot after bios? the bootloader
[10:28] <TJ-> Sagenth: First, use the uinstall method of the manual installer
[10:28] <kake123> no am recovering a windows machine
[10:28] <bekks> kake123: It loads the boot loader and starts the OS.
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> bior - reads mbr - loads rest of stuff
[10:28] <Moosers> ubottu I think I explain my issue in a wrong way.
[10:28] <TJ-> Sagenth: then reinstall the Ubuntu package using "sudo apt-get --reinstall install <package-name>"
[10:29] <Moosers> lol
[10:29] <Sagenth> arg I followed some instructions online to install it
[10:29] <Moosers> Hello; I am a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS user. I tried to boot with "OpenBox" but it faild. It does nothing, Just a dark screen after I type my userlogin password. Is it possible to go back to Ubuntu3D some how?
[10:29] <kake123> the bios loads the bootloader, the bootloader finds the boot drive and looks for an .exe??? no?
[10:30] <TJ-> kake123: no
[10:30] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth: you could reinstall the nvidias .run drivers i guess...
[10:30] <Moonlightning> Quick question: does apt take options after keywords, like `apt-get install --reinstall $package` instead of `apt-get --reinstall install $package`?
[10:30] <bekks> kake123: No.
[10:30] <TJ-> Moonlightning: Yes, I believe so, as long as they are before the package names
[10:30] <Moonlightning> Thanks. ^^
[10:30] <Sagenth> Dr_Willis, TJ-, alright I am searching for the instructions I followed to install them in the first place
[10:31] <bekks> kake123: Now please continue with verifying the checksum of the iso. :)
[10:31] <Moonlightning> lol ^
[10:31] <kake123> yes i know what you meant...ty
[10:31] <Sagenth> I found this, couldn't I just do this"sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-*"
[10:31] <cfhowlett> kake123: bootloading explained  http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/X86_Assembly/Bootloaders
[10:32] <cfhowlett> Sagenth: sudo apt-get purge nvidia
[10:33] <Moosers> Anyone?
[10:34] <Sagenth> didn't find anything when I ran that
[10:34] <Sagenth> it did with -* though at the end
[10:36] <Sagenth> Alright cool was able to startx now
[10:37] <Moosers> Please some one help
[10:37] <Sagenth> So, I guess I will just treat this as fix ubuntu day.. When my ubuntu box wakes up from sleep mode I have a black screen
[10:37] <Sagenth> I am not an expert by any means
[10:38] <SliTaz> o.o
[10:38] <Sagenth> but moosers.. why don't you clean install if it is on openbox
[10:38] <SliTaz> ^^
[10:38] <Moosers> what do u mean
[10:38] <Sagenth> reinstall ubuntu in your virtual box
[10:38] <Knight7> I want to disable a key-combination (view -> key-combination) - how can i do that?
[10:39] <Moosers> its not a virtualbox
[10:39] <Knight7> *key combination in the terminal
[10:39] <Moosers> I installed ubuntu alongside to windows
[10:39] <cfhowlett> Moosers: wubi??
[10:39] <Moosers> it has its own partition etc.
[10:39] <Sagenth> did you install windows second?
[10:39] <Moosers> no not via wubi
[10:39] <bonsaikitten> so ... could someone please give me a direct download URL so I can ... like ... download ubuntu, please? preferrably desktop version
[10:39] <Moosers> I boot with USB Drive and installe it fom iso
[10:40] <Sagenth> you boot this from a USB drive?
[10:40] <Sagenth> in a virtual environment
[10:40] <Sagenth> sounds like a recipe for disaster, don't know how to help
[10:40] <bekks> Sagenth: No virtual environment.
[10:40] <TJ-> Sagenth: Mooser's installed from a USB LiveCD... now he has the OpenBox desktop env installed and its broken
[10:40] <bekks> And booting a vm from USB works perfectly.
[10:41] <Moosers> Sagenth: where did u get this virtual environment from?
[10:41] <Moosers> TJ-:  thank you
[10:41] <Sagenth> from openbox
[10:41] <bekks> Sagenth: openbox is window manager. You are mixing it up with virtualbox.
[10:41] <Sagenth> yes I am
[10:41] <Sagenth> google search
[10:42] <bonsaikitten> ... found it, thx :)
[10:42] <Moosers> TJ-:  bekks  is there a way to revocer to Ubuntu 3D?
[10:43] <bekks> Moosers: I never used openbox - and I'll just create a new user (by logging in to a terminal) and start over, to see wether it is a user based issue or a computer based issue.
[10:43] <Knight7> i want to deaktivat this keycombination from the terminal - how do i set it to "deactivate" instead of a keybinding? http://www.google.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fimg8.myimg.de%2Fquestion4ea4e.png&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=ubuntu&channel=fs
[10:43] <captine> Hi all.  I now have my wifi showing connected at 102MB/s, however transferring files is deathly slow.  could this be due to using SSH connection for file transfer?  Would encryption be the issue?
[10:43] <Sagenth> I got a problem with with sleep mode, maybe somebody can help. I just put my box to sleep and woke it up so I could describe the behaviour. The light is on but pretty much nobody is home. No screen no usb activity nothing. I am using a 4 port KVM though if that would have an effect
[10:43] <Knight7> http://img8.myimg.de/question4ea4e.png
[10:44] <bekks> captine: No. No.
[10:44] <TJ-> Sagenth: Try ssh into it
[10:44] <Sagenth> is ssh setup by default?
[10:44] <captine> bekks. thanks.  any idea of how i can test throughput?
[10:44] <Moosers> bekks: how do i create a new user?
[10:44] <Knight7> I want to deactivate a keycombination from the terminal instead of setting a new key (see here: http://img8.myimg.de/question4ea4e.png) - how can i do that?
[10:44] <Moosers> and how do i reach to terminal?
[10:45] <TJ-> Sagenth: Not unless its a server
[10:45] <bekks> captine: you could use netcat.
[10:45] <Sagenth> It is not. So reboot and setup ssh then sleep, wake up and test ssh?
[10:45] <TJ-> Sagenth: yes
[10:45] <Sagenth> alright.. here goes
[10:46] <bekks> Moosers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto#Command-line
[10:46] <Sagenth> don't suppose you've got the instructions on how to set it up
[10:47] <Afflicto[ubuntu]> Ok so I removed lampp and installed the other thing by reading on ubuntu ApacheMysqlPhp page. I did /etc/init.d/apache2 restart and it fails to bind to port\domain or something. It seems xampp processes are still running? if so how can I absolutely destroy all the processes related? thansk in advance.

[10:50] <jackk> Hello, can someone tell me if this Linux has flash preinstalled? I am a huge fan of porn and would like to know.
[10:51] <cfhowlett> devilz: what wifi card do you have?
[10:52] <hipitihop> can someone point me at a reference about backporting kernel changes, I'm trying to get 10.04 with more recent kernel so that it detects my SSD
[10:53] <devilz> cfhowlett: i have realtek rtl8101
[10:53] <devilz> cfhowlett: i have realtek rtl8101e*
[10:53] <cfhowlett> devilz: ah.  I've been forced to develop some expertise with broadcom but not realtek.  ask again in channel and, as always ...
[10:54] <cfhowlett> !patience|devilz
[10:54] <devilz> i am not able to connect to wireless network through my wubi can anyone help me plz
[10:54] <Guest43513> I have a problem when trying to log in to x using one of my accounts i get "failed to load session ubuntu-2d" but it works perfectly with all accounts exept one is there a way to reset this ?
[10:55] <devilz> i guess i have some driver issues for my lan car so i downloaded drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=7&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2
[10:55] <devilz> lan card*
[10:55] <devilz> still not working
[10:55] <MonkeyDust> devilz  wubi :(
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> you did install them.. not just dwnloaded them... ;)
[10:56] <devilz> dr_willis : yeh i installed them too :P
[10:56] <cfhowlett> devilz: side note: wubi is for TESTING ubuntu.  It is NOT a permanent installation solution = so sayeth the wubi developers.
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> id test the card in 12.10 it may be fixed in the next release/kernel updates
[10:57] <devilz> i have 12.10.
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> nothing is more permenant than a tempaory fix...
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> devilz: yiu are using 12.10 now?
[10:58] <devilz> cfhowlett: i was having hard times installing ubuntu alongside windows. so i shifted to wubi :(
[10:58] <devilz> Dr_Willis : yes :) i upgraded
[10:59] <devilz> but wifi not working :(
[10:59] <delkin> My nvidia drivers aren't working well... startx gives this output: "NVIDIA: API mismatch: the nvidia kernel module has version 280.13, but this nvidia driver component has version 304.37. Please make sure that kernel module and all NVidia driver components have the same version." How am I gonna do that?
[10:59] <bekks> Isnt wubi the worst solution possible?
[10:59] <cfhowlett> devilz: understood, however ... "Expect unforeseen consequences."
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> it suggest trying a clean 12.10. install. no wubi
[11:00] <devilz> cfhowlett : like?
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> delkin: you used the drivers from the nvidia site?
[11:00] <cfhowlett> devilz: it's wubi.  anything could happen.  Perhaps virtualbox would suit you better.
[11:00] <devilz> virtualbox is better than wubi ?? :P
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> devilz: id say yes it is...
[11:01] <delkin> Dr_Willis: Yes, I downloaded the latest version of the NVIDIA*.sh and run it throught the console. Ever since, I just see my lovely black console
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> or a full install to a flashdrive
[11:01] <bekks> devilz: virtualbox is a virtualization solution, while wubi is a windows-based ubuntu installation method.
[11:01] <cfhowlett> devilz: better?  no.  different parameters, different outcomes, but virtualbox will NOT break your system.  also, if you've got a working network on your host, windows in your case, virtual box will pickup the network connection.
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> delkin: reinstall them each time rhe kernel gets updated...
[11:02] <delkin> Dr_Willis: What can I do to have X working again?
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> delkin: reinstall those drivers......
[11:03] <devilz> cfhowlett: what about vmware?
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> or stop using them and use the ones from the repos delkin
[11:04] <bekks> devilz: You have to buy it.
[11:04] <cfhowlett> devilz: I've never used it, but it seems to be as well regarded as virtualbox ...
[11:04] <delkin> Dr_Willis: How can I use the drivers from repos again?
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> delkin: unistall the .run driveres. reinstall nvidia-current
[11:05] <devilz> kk. But i think the problem is that ubuntu don;t have drivers for my lan card by dafault
[11:05] <devilz> so how wud complete 12.10 ubuntu will have them?
[11:05] <devilz> if wubi don;t have those
[11:05]  * chuyizi is away: Away
[11:05] <delkin> Dr_Willis: How do I uninstall the .run drivers?
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> delkin: no idea check the nvidia .run driver docs
[11:06] <bekks> devilz: IIRC the RTL8101 is supported by Ubuntu.
[11:06]  * chuyizi is back (gone 00:00:31)
[11:06] <Myrtti> chuyizi: please turn that off on this channel
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> delkin: ther may have a uninstall option
[11:07] <Sagenth> TJ- that was a good suggestion, as it turns out.. my system is simply not waking up. It is not on the network because my ssh session worked before putting it to sleep. I woke it up and tested a few times and all tests timed out
[11:07] <delkin> Dr_Willis: gonna check it
[11:07] <cloudgeek> how we can use or install command line version of the goldendict
[11:08] <bekks> devilz: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWiredNetworkCardsRealtek
[11:08] <Sagenth> Okay TJ is not here anymore
[11:09] <Person> I can't boot from my drive, I mounted the drive in the Live CD, and my files are here, but I think the OS is messed up. I crashed during an update. How can I fix this?
[11:09] <delkin> Dr_Willis: gonna reboot, brb
[11:09] <bekks> Person: Whats the error message you get when trying to boot from your drive?
[11:10] <Person> asks for bootarg
[11:10] <cfhowlett> Person: if you have separate /home, I'd say reinstall ... AFTER you checksum you iso.
[11:10] <Person> I only have 2 partisions and one is a swap
[11:10] <pela> lek
[11:10] <Person> So I'm guessing I dont have a seperate /home
[11:11] <cfhowlett> cloudgeek: goldendict is in the universe repo.  Enable that and it should show in Software Center or use the cli
[11:11] <Moosers> Heya again
[11:11] <bekks> Person: Could you please give a full error message when trying to boot from your drive in a pastebin?
[11:11] <bekks> !paste | Person
[11:11] <Moosers> bekks: creating username didnt work
[11:11] <Sagenth> I've got a problem. I put my computer to sleep, and when I wake it up it I've got a black screen no USB activity and no network connection. Can't ssh to the box. Yet it does wake up, it just doesn't do it right or something. I ran a memory test a week ago to try and fix this issue and found there is no problems with any my memory sticks
[11:11] <cfhowlett> Person: looks like ..
[11:11] <Person> bekks this is my only terminal
[11:11] <bekks> Moosers: "didnt work" isnt a valid problem description.
[11:11] <qwd> This tells me to copy over the icon to the Unity launcher, how do I do that? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773598 (Step 2 under " Using the Script")
[11:11] <Person> should I write it down then type it?
[11:12] <bekks> Person: Correct.
[11:12] <bekks> Person: In a pastebin please.
[11:12] <Person> k be back in a while folks
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> qwd drag/drop     the .desktop file onto the launcher panel
[11:13] <Person> bekks: would something like target file does not have sbin edit mean someting to you?
[11:13] <Person> *something
[11:14] <Moosers> bekks:  sorry let me state my problem again. I had a very clean Ubuntu 12.04 LTS then I tried to use OpenBox. I went "Logout" then Choose OpenBox. This user login window popup. Then a dark (gray) screen and nothing more.
[11:14] <qwd> Dr_Willis: I don't have a .desktop file in that folder, at least not one that belongs to that
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> qwd: drag the script or whatever over then perhaps.. or however you run it
[11:15] <bekks> Person: That means, that your installation is entirely broken, since there is no /sbin anymore.
[11:15] <Sagenth> I've got a problem. I put my computer to sleep, and when I wake it up it I've got a black screen no USB activity and no network connection. Can't ssh to the box. Yet it does wake up, it just doesn't do it right or something. I ran a memory test a week ago to try and fix this issue and found there is no problems with any my memory sticks
[11:15] <bekks> Moosers: Did you reboot your box?
[11:15] <qwd> Dr_Willis: Doh, I tried the exakt same thing a minute ago and it didn't work. Now it did. Thanks :)
[11:15] <bekks> !patience | Sagenth
[11:16] <Person> bekks: is there any way to install over it and save my files and settings?
[11:16] <cfhowlett> Person:  nope ... and THAT is why I have a dedicated /home
[11:17] <Sagenth> I am searching right now, I've asked this question here before too. I've been on and off trying to fix this for a few weeks actually
[11:17] <Moosers> box? I reebot the netbook it takes me to this Dual Boot screen, I can login windows normaly but not to ubuntu anymore. This new UserLogin popup appears and then this dark (gray) screen after I enter when I choose ubuntu in Dual Boot screen.
[11:17] <Person> cfhowlett: I can see all my home files though still
[11:17] <cloudgeek> cfhowlett: :)
[11:18] <cfhowlett> Person: copy and backup to USB.  New install will format that partition and wipe out all the current data.
[11:18] <bekks> Person: No. Use a liveCD to backup everything you want to preserve.
[11:19] <Person> use the back up app thing?
[11:19] <bekks> Person: No.
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> i just copy the files somewhere safe
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> and use cloud storage ;)
[11:20] <Moosers> bekks:  I reebot the netbook it takes me to this Dual Boot screen, I can login windows normaly but not to ubuntu anymore. This new UserLogin popup appears and then this dark (gray) screen after I enter when I choose ubuntu in Dual Boot screen.
[11:20] <bekks> Moosers: Then dont enter the user credentials but change the session as you did before.

[11:26] <Sagenth> pci=noacpi any idea where I would make this change?

[11:28] <cfhowlett> Person: back up your data.  download and checksum a clean iso.  reinstall.
[11:29] <Person> But it saw it once? If it sees it again could it try to install over?
[11:29] <cfhowlett> Person: CLEAN install is what I should have said.
[11:29] <l3d> when does 10.04 stop being lts
[11:29] <Person> or was that a fluke or error that it saw it before
[11:29] <bekks> Person: Again: You cant upgrade a broken installtion.
[11:29] <Person> k
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> !10.04
[11:29] <Sagenth> Dr_Willis, I opened that file but it doesn't have a pci line nor does it mention pci. So if it goes in here where do I put it?
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth: kernel options are on a line that has 'quiet splash'  in it
[11:30] <Moosers> Dr_Willis: can u please tell me the code that I will use to edit or rename it please so I boot and do it and come back here
[11:30] <Sagenth> comma separated?
[11:30] <l3d> Dr_Willis, thank you
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth: could put it between those 2 words..
[11:31] <Sagenth> What?
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> Moosers:  i gave the command to mv it... mv = move
[11:31] <aspire> Hello iam new in the ubuntuworld - where i can become chat-support in german?
[11:31] <Sagenth> inbetween quiet splash?
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> quiet pci=foo splash
[11:31] <cfhowlett> !de|jaspire
[11:31] <Moosers> Dr_Willis:  this is all I will need to type there?
[11:31] <aspire> danke, thank you
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> rerun sudo update-grub  after editing thr filr Sagenth  ;)
[11:32] <Sagenth> Why would I do that? wouldn't that mess up whatever quiet splash is there for?
[11:32] <Sagenth> oh
[11:32] <Sagenth> ok*
[11:32] <l3d> another thought was  in the software center i see a app that i might like but it costs 19.99 was wondering I guess I cant due a quick try before I buy to make sure its what I am looking for
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> those are all options passed to the kernel
[11:32] <Sagenth> what is quiet splash for?
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> Moosers:   mv .dmrc dmrc.old
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> !bootcodes
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> hmm. what is that factoid...
[11:33] <Moosers> Dr_Willis:  ok let me try thank you
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> !boot
[11:33] <mirage91> :quit
[11:33] <bekks> l3d: No.
[11:34] <l3d> ok
[11:34] <bekks> l3d: But you can search the web for more information about that app.
[11:34] <l3d> ok
[11:35] <Sagenth> Okay well did a bit of searching, regardless you're saying I have to put this between those two words or did you say that to show me that it doesn't matter where I put it
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> !grub2
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> that line is all kernel options. so bteween, or at the end. i belive
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> easier to tell people between the 2 ;)
[11:37] <tacirus> Hello, Is it possible to force Nautilus at autostart to open certain folders in its tabs
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> at autostart?
[11:38] <tacirus> yup
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> and you mean what by autostart......
[11:38] <tacirus> I have it autolauncher
[11:39] <tacirus> i mean at start-up
[11:39] <tacirus> :)
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> look at nautilus --help for options perhaps
[11:39] <bogor> How to install ubuntu on a usb flash drive (aka pend drive). I searched and all talks about is livecd. I dont want livecd. I want a permanent user account with sudo previlieges and ability to store files in flash drive and save my configurations and should not be setting it up everytime i boot. Like language /keyboard layout etc.
[11:39] <Sagenth> if I edit /etc/default/acpi-support will the changes take effect immediately?
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> you mean at log-in?
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> bogor: same as you do a normal hd. partition, install, be sure grub goes on the usb...
[11:40] <bogor> Dr_willis, is it so simple. WOW you made my day.
[11:40] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> How can I see my internal IP from the terminal?
[11:41] <Sagenth> Dr_Willis, will the changes in the grub file not take effect, even after a reboot unless I run sudo update-grub?
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth:  update-grub pplies the changes
[11:41] <MonkeyDust> Afflicto-[ubuntu  ifconfig
[11:41] <Sagenth> ok
[11:41] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> MonkeyDust: thx x)
[11:41] <MonkeyDust> Afflicto-[ubuntu  ifconfig|head -2
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth:  you can edit the grub menu at boot time to test one time changes
[11:42] <Sagenth> How about the acpi-support file (/etc/default/acpi-support) I found another possible fix involving that file, will changes to it take effect immediately?
[11:42] <bekks> Sagenth: No.
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth:  no idea.. id say beroot to be sure
[11:43] <Sagenth> ok
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> reboot
[11:43] <Sagenth> time to save and reboot then

[11:59] <tomtomtom> who can help
[12:03] <BluesKaj> Howdy all
[12:04] <moosers> Dr_Willis:  Still around? Here Ive got some screenhots to give more idea about my problem.
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> im on my phone so my websurfing is limited
[12:05] <moosers> Oh sorry
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> i dont even remember the problem  either. ;)
[12:05] <moosers> then let me tell you what it says after I hit the code u told me
[12:07] <moosers> I wrote; mv .dmrc dmrc.old and this is the result: mv: cannot stat `.dmrc': No such file or directory
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> so like it says.. theres no .dmrc file in the current directory
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> what directory are you in?
[12:09] <moosers> I dont know
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> the promot shows you..
[12:09] <moosers> dev/sda/6 or 5
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> pr the pwd command
[12:09] <moosers> let me open the promot
[12:09] <Dr_Willis>  .dmrc is in your users home directory
[12:09] <moosers> I am now connected here with a different laptop
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> it may be a good time to read a few bash beginnere guides
[12:10] <moosers> ok i boot in to recovery mode then i cill open the promot there
[12:10] <silverarrow> is anyone on a powerpc now?
[12:10] <silverarrow> or near one
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> silverarrow: i gave away my last powerpc imavdv
[12:10] <moosers> Dr_Willis:  okay what I will type there to see what directory I am in
[12:11] <silverarrow> darn
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  look at the prompt.. or type pwd
[12:11] <Dr_Willis> linux on powerpc was way too flakey for me
[12:11] <moosers> roo@chtsrl-VPCM13M1E:~#
[12:12] <silverarrow> Dr_Willis:  I am hoping it will smooth out
[12:12] <moosers> Dr_Willis: I will read alot after I survive my Ubuntu
[12:12] <moosers> results of pwd: /root
[12:12] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  you are the root user? you want the .dmrc file in the users home
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> so cd /home/yourusersname
[12:13] <moosers> chtsrl is my username right
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> then ls -l .dmrc    to see if its there
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> silverarrow:  i doubt it. powerpc seems sort of dieing off.
[12:13] <moosers> cd look smilar.
[12:14] <moosers> Dr_Willis: what is my username?
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  you tell me.. its whatever your username is on the system...
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> you just said chtsrl
[12:14] <silverarrow> Dr_Willis: maybe, but as long as IBM makes computers with the architacture it might live on
[12:15] <moosers> sorry I type it wrong
[12:15] <moosers> yeah now I am in
[12:15] <moosers> let me do the next command
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> silverarrow:  not even sure who/whats using them these days
[12:15] <moosers> okay
[12:15] <silverarrow> probably servers mostly
[12:16] <silverarrow> and there are a lot still around
[12:16] <moosers> -rw-r--r-- 1 chtsrl chtsrl 27 Aug 19 17:53 .dmrc
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> id have to wonder why.. ;)
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> moosers: so theres your file
[12:16] <moosers> now its time to do mv .dmrc dmrc.old
[12:17] <silverarrow> 	mine had lived in a closet for years though until fairly recently
[12:17] <moosers> ?
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  so move it.. ;)
[12:18] <moosers> mv: cannot move .dmrc' to dmrc.old': Read-only file system
[12:18]  * Dr_Willis has no idea what moosers original problem was
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> now thats interesting
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> try sudo mv .dmrc dmrc.backup
[12:19] <moosers> Dr_Willis:  I installed the openbox and Logout from ubuntu and tried to login to openbox then its gave me this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/69/imag3532.jpg/
[12:19] <Ebolla> How do I convert a /dev/disk/by-id to a uuid?
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> !blkid
[12:19] <moosers> Which say "Enter password to unluck your login keyring"
[12:19] <Ebolla> yeah that doesn't work Dr-Willis
[12:19] <moosers> I do type my password then just a gray screen thats it
[12:20] <Ebolla> That just tells you the /dev/sdXX and uuid but doesn't tell you the respective by-id
[12:20] <moosers> same error with second code
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  you can boot the system normally, then use alt-ctrl-f1 to get to a console, login and move the file
[12:21] <johnnyatomic> hello, i'm having trouble finding the libhid-dev pkg for 12.04, does it no longer exist in the repositories?
[12:21] <Ebolla> How do I convert a /dev/disk/by-id to a uuid?  (blkid only shows /dev/sdxxx and uuid but not the by-id)
[12:21] <becom33> I'm runing ubuntu 12.04 . and I just installed VGA driver NVIDIA . but the problem is in my settings it says Graphic : unknown
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> the recovery mode mounts things read only by default i think
[12:22] <moosers> what is fl?
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> the f1 key....
[12:22] <Dr_Willis> top left..
[12:22] <moosers> ah
[12:22] <moosers> F1 sorry
[12:22] <moosers> i thought it was a L
[12:23] <becom33> anyone for me ?
[12:23] <Dr_Willis> becom33: installed how?
[12:23] <Ebolla> How do I convert a /dev/disk/by-id to a uuid?  (blkid only shows /dev/sdxxx and uuid but not the by-id)
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> moosers: alt-ctrl f1 through f6 = consoles, f7 = x display
[12:24] <moosers> Dr_Willis:  I am in grub> command line now
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> i thought the id was the uuid ;)
[12:24] <moosers> this is not what u wanted right?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  you need to boot to the login     screen
[12:25] <moosers> When I boot the Dual Boot screen comes up
[12:25] <moosers> where I chose ubuntu or Windows
[12:25] <Ebolla> Dr_willis:  Sadly they're not.   And VMWare uses the by-id to list the drives instead of the uuid.
[12:25] <howardgrigg> hey guys, I'm about to install my first home server running ubuntu server - does anyone have any cool/useful utilities that I should load on there?
[12:25] <moosers> shall i hit ctrl+alt+1 after I hit ubuntu?
[12:25] <johnnyatomic> hello, i'm having trouble finding the libhid-dev pkg for 12.04, does it no longer exist in the repositories?
[12:26] <Ebolla> howardgrigg:  iotop and ntop.   One shows your IOs and their usage and the other shows network usage.   Nice if you're experiencing bad performance on shares.
[12:26] <moosers> yeah I think I am there
[12:26] <becom33> Dr_Willis, using Additional Drivers
[12:26] <marun> i have a web server running on port 8009 on testbox1 in my local network. I want to forward web traffic from 80 port coming from internet to 8009 of testbox1. How do i do that?
[12:26] <moosers> its ask me chtsrl-VPCM13M1E login:
[12:26] <howardgrigg> Ebolla, cool I'll check them out
[12:26] <moosers> shall i type my password?
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> user name, then password...
[12:27] <moosers> yeah I am now in
[12:27] <moosers> let me try
[12:27] <moosers> shall i go in to home/chtsrl/ first?
[12:27] <cairne> I use Ubuntu 12.04 on my desktop and I like it a lot, however my old laptop run Fedora LXDE pretty good last time I tried ubuntu on laptop performance suffered even in 2d. Is there a really lightweight distro of ubuntu? something that doesnt require more then 256 mb or ram?
[12:27] <Ebolla> Dr_Willis:  For future reference incase anyone else asks.    ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/ will tell you which by-id = which /dev/sdxx
[12:27] <johnnyatomic> marun: you have to utilize nat (network address translation) and some basic routing. i use iptables to do that.
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  look at your prompt.. or pwd output
[12:28] <MonkeyDust> !mini > cairne
[12:28] <moosers> yeah i thing i am done now Dr_Willis  no error this time
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> Ebolla: i was looking at that.. figured you wae complex answer
[12:28] <cairne> ubottu: sorry new to irc how do I see private messages?
[12:28] <moosers> what is next?
[12:29] <becom33> Dr_Willis, :
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> Ebolla:  im not even sure why you would want the id. ;)
[12:29] <marun> johnnyatomic: I tried to open 80 port on my router, but it is not opening to public. the router runs a webserver on 80 port. May be it is conflicting?
[12:29] <Ebolla> Dr_Willis:  I like to follow KISS ;)     VMWare uses by-id instead of /dev or uuid when adding HDD's.
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  i said alt-ctrl-f7 gets back to x
[12:29] <Ebolla> Dr_Willis:  Of course I just found out VMWare has a 2TB limit /sigh.  So now to find a new way to add in the raid ;(
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> moosers: so see if it works
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Ebolla:  ;) i dont use vmware, or raids..
[12:30] <moosers> it took me the same password popup screen
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> i keep it really simple
[12:30] <moosers> I hit the password then nothing happen again. gray screen
[12:31] <johnnyatomic> marun: if you're using a dedicated dsl router or something like that, you should be able to use ip forwarding to forward your external port 80 to an internal ip address.
[12:31] <Ebolla> Dr_Willis:  I use R6 just for improved performance and some data redundancy.   And the reason for VMware is Win7 and WHS 2011 don't like to use my nic.  They load the drivers fine but won't let it access the network.
[12:31] <cairne> MonkeyDust: So is mini a light weight version of Ubuntu or just a smaller image?
[12:31] <johnnyatomic> marun: the case i was talking about (NAT and iptables) uses a computer to do the routing.
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  sounds like unity is confused or broken
[12:32] <moosers> how can I create a bootable USB and fix broken files recover it? or recover to an early date like yesterday
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  you installed what exactly?
[12:32] <Ebolla> moosers:  Are you not getting the unity desktop?  I had the same problem.  At the password screen click the little ubuntu button and select Unity 2D
[12:33] <becom33> anyone for me ?
[12:33] <becom33> I'm runing ubuntu 12.04 . and I just installed VGA driver NVIDIA . but the problem is in my settings it says Graphic : unknown
[12:33] <Ebolla> becom33:  Did you load the restricted driver?
[12:33] <becom33> what are restricted driver
[12:33] <moosers> I installed the openbox but never user. I was gonna open Ubuntu2d then I saw the openbox there. and Hit it instead Ubuntu2D then this  http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/69/imag3532.jpg/ came up now. nothing else
[12:33] <becom33> Ebolla,
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> cairne  it ets you choose the packages you want, so you can keep it as lightweight as you like
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  right click on the desktop shows any menus?
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> lets*
[12:34] <Ebolla> becom33:  click on the gear with wrench.  System Settings.  Then click on Additional Drivers
[12:34] <moosers> yeah
[12:34] <Ebolla> moosers:  Are you not getting the unity desktop?  I had the same problem.  At the password screen click the little ubuntu button and select Unity 2D
[12:34] <Dr_Willis> moosers: menu shows what?
[12:35] <moosers> Terminal emulator, Web Browser, Desktps, ObConf, Reconfigure, Restar, Exit
[12:35] <becom33> Ebolla, yes thats how I installed my Nvidia Drivers
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  you are using openbox then....
[12:35] <moosers> how do I change it to Ubuntu?
[12:35] <johnnyatomic> i'm unable to find libhid-dev anywhere, i need it for an include/hid.h file. I'm pretty sure it was in the repositories before but now, it's not. Any ideas about how I may find it?
[12:35] <Ebolla> becom33:  Where does it say unknown on the graphics?
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> select ubuntu at the login screen
[12:36] <becom33> Ebolla, in system settings > details
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> the system default is now openbox it seems
[12:36] <moosers> where is login screen
[12:36] <becom33> plus what happening to that wave effect in windows . is it disabled in gnome 3 ?
[12:36] <Ebolla> becom33:  I think that is an ubuntu bug.  I have that as well but the graphics work just fine.
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> moosers: did you turn on autologin when you installed?
[12:36] <becom33> :/
[12:37] <marun> johnnyatomic: my router is not allowing port 80 through public
[12:37] <moosers> Dr_Willis:  did nothing just the sudo download and install via terminal.
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  if you select logout.. it goes back to the lightdm login screen
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> or 'sudo service lightdm restart' to force x to close and go back to lightdm
[12:38] <moosers> There is no LogOut. You mean Exit?
[12:38] <moosers> god!!!!
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  time to 'think'.. exit makes sence.. to me
[12:39] <jiechic> jiechic
[12:39] <moosers> I chose exit now I am in that login screen where can i choose ubuntu! got it took like 3 hours. Dr_Willis I dont know how to thank you. you keep helping me after all hours with all my dump questions thank you
[12:40] <namoamitabuddha> How can I detect which type my CD-ROM is?
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> moosers: all you had to do was exit and select the item.. and if you dont see that screen at bootup then YES you did turn on autologin during the install
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> they really need to remove that autologin option during the install.. it confuses to many beginners
[12:41] <moosers> how can i uninstall the OpenBox?
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  package manager tools.. but why bother
[12:41] <i7c> 1st question: i installed ubuntu server on my old netbook. when i close the lid this process goes CRAZY with 100% cpu: 14.#openvpn │ Dr_Willis | moosers: did you turn on autologin when you installed?
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> you installed it.. so try it out. ;0
[12:42] <i7c> sorry for that
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> heh
[12:42] <moosers> Dr but there was nothing on the screen just a right click menu
[12:42] <i7c> "/etc/acpi/events -s /var/run/acpid.socket"  <<--- this is the process
[12:42] <Ebolla> Dr_Willis:  It wouldn't be a problem if they would have autologin use Unity 2D ;)
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  thats openbox.....
[12:42] <moosers> jesus
[12:42] <moosers> i will try lxde
[12:42] <tech1> is there a command to show a list of monospace fonts? like "fc-list" but only returning monospace fonts?
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> what did you expect from openbox?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> ;) its just a window manager
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> not a desktop
[12:43] <moosers> I thought it was something like ubuntu with less graphic
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> thats lxde
[12:43] <moosers> Dr_Willis:  yeah I know, You said its faster then Unity and lighter
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> install the lubuntu-desktop package  for a lighter DESKTOP
[12:44] <moosers> I will try to install lxde and will try to use compiz with it.
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> openbox is a WINDOW MANAGER used by lubuntu/lxde
[12:44] <KM0201> i used to like Lubuntu.. but it's gotten kinda buggy IMO... ended up back at Unity, and frankly, its kind of grown on me.
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> unity is gaining a lot of neat features
[12:44] <moosers> sudo apt-get install lubuntu-dektop ?
[12:45] <moosers> Dr_Willis:  u dont recommend to load lxde ?
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> moosers: lubuntu is the full desktop that uses lxde
[12:45] <KM0201> moosers: whats the specs of your pc?
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> and you may want to turn off the autologin feature of lightdm
[12:46] <moosers> lubuntu-desktop package what is this? a window manager or a desktop envrm?
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> !info lubuntu-desktop
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> openbox is a WINDOW MANAGER used by lubuntu/lxde
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> install the lubuntu-desktop package  for a lighter DESKTOP
[12:48] <bros2106> how do I register my IRC nickname?
[12:48] <MonkeyDust> moosers  openbox is a *part* of lubuntu

[12:48] <mueddib> bros2106, /msg nickserv register password e-mail
[12:48] <KM0201> moosers: you'd probably want to use lxde w/ only 1gig of ram.. .at least in my opinion
[12:49] <moosers> yeah this was what I was asking Dr_Willis if this is a good idea
[12:49] <moosers> sudo apt-get install lxde
[12:49] <bros2106> tks
[12:49] <moosers> i think this is all i need to do
[12:49] <KM0201> moosers: i think you'd just install lubuntu-desktop...
[12:50] <KM0201> moosers: or just download the lubuntu ISO, and boot it from a USB/CD
[12:50] <moosers> yeah this is what Dr_Willis trying to explain me. sorry Dr_Willis
[12:50] <moosers> KM0201:  can I donwload lubuntu-desktop from ubuntu software center?
[12:50] <KM0201> moosers: yes
[12:50] <MonkeyDust> moosers  yes, or the package lxde
[12:51] <KM0201> i think if he wants the full desktop environment, he'd want lubuntu-desktop
[12:51] <moosers> ok searching for "lubuntu-desktop"
[12:51] <moosers> Found it: Lubuntu Desktop Environment
[12:51] <MonkeyDust> always more than one choice
[12:52] <moosers> Will I able to use "Compiz" on it?
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> your apt-get command would install the same thing..
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> why would you want to?
[12:52] <moosers> sudo apt-get install lxde is the same thing with lubuntu-desktop ?
[12:53] <johnnyatomic> i'm unable to find libhid-dev anywhere, i need it for an include/hid.h file. I'm pretty sure it was in the repositories before but now, it's not. any ideas about how i may find it?
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  lubuntu-desktop is lxde+MOAR stuff
[12:53] <Ebolla> Anyone here use VMware?
[12:54] <johnnyatomic> ll
[12:54] <kkfoss> hello, i have a thinkpad and i used to properly share my internet connection through an adhoc wifi connection. I just formatted the system and again setup a wifi adhoc, but now while other computers can detect and connect to my adhoc wifi connection, internet is not getting shared.  I am using Ubuntu 12.04.  What am I doing wrong?
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> !isc
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> !ics
[12:55] <Ebolla> kkfoss:  Did you bridge the wireless to the device giving the laptop internet access?
[12:56] <i7c> on my netbook (ubuntu server 12.04) acpid goes crazy when i close the lid... how can i change that?
[12:56] <moosers> Dr_Willis:  Compiz wave effect is the reason I change from windows to linux
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  then use unity. not lxde
[12:56] <kkfoss> Ebolla: i don't know.  lst time I just created a new adhoc connection after starting my 3g data card.  it was working perfectly, I did not do any thing special.  this time too I did the same thing but it does not work.
[12:57] <moosers> Dr_Willis: why?
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> changeing os's for eyecandy.. is a little silly. ;)
[12:57] <MonkeyDust> any reason is good enough ;)
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> you want eyecandy.. thats NOT what lxde is about
[12:57] <Ebolla> kkfoss:  Try the link that Dr_Willis gave you.    !ics
[12:57] <Ebolla> !ics
[12:57] <moosers> Well lighter and cleaner code is there reason. Compiz proves that clean coding
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> compiz is often not very 'clean'
[12:58] <kkfoss> Ebolla: i had already read it since i got that result from google.  But it did not work for me.
[12:58] <moosers> Dr_Willis:  Cant I use Compiz in lxde ?
[12:58] <kkfoss> Ebolla: i knew it won't yet tryed.  the simple reason is that it does not work as it did before
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  install kubuntu-desktop if you want to try out other desktops
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> moosers:  sort of pointless to try to put compiz in lxde..
[12:59] <moosers> But its cool
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> like raceing scripes and spoilers and airdams on a pinto
[12:59] <moosers> windows users getting shocked when windows are moving
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> you should learn the basics of unity first i think...
[13:00] <kkfoss> Ebolla: any other suggestion?
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> !manual
[13:00] <moosers> like?
[13:00] <Ebolla> kkfoss:  Not sure what to tell you then.  I am using bonding so I don't get the normal network devices screen anymore.
[13:00] <KuuHaHa> Hi
[13:01] <KuuHaHa> Hi
[13:01] <KuuHaHa> Is there a bot
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> yes..
[13:01] <Ebolla> !bot
[13:01] <MonkeyDust> KuuHaHa  and it's a she
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> Fembots
[13:02] <KuuHaHa> Thank
[13:03] <moosers> Dr_Willis: for this kind of specs ubuntu works a little slow, almost slow as windows 7  Memory: 990.6 MiB | Processor Intel IGDx86/MMX/SSE2 | OS tyep: 32-bit | Disk 169.9GB
[13:03] <moosers> thats why I am not happy with ubuntu. There may some settings to make it faster maybe dunno. this is why i need lxde instad of unity
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> sounds faster then my netbook.. and my netbook runs unity fine
[13:04] <ciru74> ciao
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> you want eyecandy or speed?
[13:04] <KuuHaHa> Sorry how to command to private chat?
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> !pm
[13:04] <Ebolla> moosers:  try netrunner.  It is a flavor of Ubuntu that is suppose to be a bit more streamlined if memory servers.
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> speec = lubuntu, eyecandy = ubuntu, or kubuntu
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> speed ;)
[13:05] <moosers> Kubuntu also looking good as ubuntu?
[13:05] <moosers> is it uses Unity?
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> try it on a live cd and decide..
[13:05] <ciru74> conan
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> kubuntu = kde
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> !kubuntu
[13:06] <KuuHaHa> Moosers: for me ubuntu with gnome it classic
[13:07] <KuuHaHa> Ubottu: !

[13:08] <morning> Problem: "Wireless is disabled by hardware switch." Even though the switch is on. Doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, since the switch does affect the display of "hardlock on" with "rfkill list." (Nonetheless, I'm having a hardware guy come in tomorrow.) Tried: reboot. Tried: "rfkill unblock all." Tried: "Fn-F5." Tried: disconnect battery & AC, press power button several times to discharge." Anything else I can try?
[13:10] <KuuHaHa> !
[13:11] <KuuHaHa> !not
[13:12] <morning> I've asked a question, but now I'm being called to leave, so I won't be able to check in further today. Apologies.
[13:17] <yeahbwoi> hello
[13:17] <Fluid_Mantis> Hi everybody. I downloaded Kega Fusion, a Mega Drive emulator, which was in a tar.gz archive.
[13:17] <Fluid_Mantis> I've extracted it.
[13:17] <yeahbwoi> is it possible to install ubuntu on a 2x2 tbyte raid 0 without efi (this machine has bios)
[13:17] <Fluid_Mantis> Apparently it can be opened easily as an executable.
[13:18] <Fluid_Mantis> And I have checked and seen that it is specified to be opened as an executable in the properties.
[13:18] <Fluid_Mantis> But when I try to open it nothing happens.
[13:18] <savio> hello
[13:19] <Ebolla> yeahbwoi:  Yes if you use the live CD.  It should auto load the raid controller drivers.
[13:19] <yeahbwoi> Ebolla, i run intel software raid (fake raid)
[13:20] <pabloh> how do you disable the extra tty at ubuntu 12.04?
[13:20] <theadmin> yeahbwoi: Try using the alternate CD. Desktop CDs have no support for softraids, if I recall right.
[13:20] <Jayflux> hey guys, im looking for packages (just downloaded ubuntu server). How do I find out which one of these I am: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[13:20] <theadmin> !apt | Jayflux
[13:20] <Jayflux> or are they just different repos
[13:20] <yeahbwoi> theadmin, ill try that since my grub installation fails all the time :(
[13:20] <Jayflux> thanks theadmin
[13:21] <Fluid_Mantis> Also, is it possible that unlike Windows, Ubuntu 64-bit isn't as compatible with 32-bit programs?
[13:22] <theadmin> Fluid_Mantis: It's not.
[13:22] <theadmin> Fluid_Mantis: Well, unless you have all the multilibs set up. Use "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" to get compatibility.
[13:23] <Fluid_Mantis> theadmin: So are you saying that if I install multilibs I may be able to run Kega Fusion?
[13:23] <theadmin> !find kega
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> no idea what kega is
[13:23] <Fluid_Mantis> I could swear I already searched for that.
[13:23] <Fluid_Mantis> It's a Mega Drive emulator.
[13:23] <Fluid_Mantis> Or Genesis, to the Americans here.
[13:24] <theadmin> Fluid_Mantis: Eh...I would search for a Debian package (or a PPA) instead.
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> some emulators use x386 assembly code.. and may not work on 64bit
[13:24] <theadmin> Fluid_Mantis: But yeah, you might be able to do it with the 32-bit libs
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> there are numerous emulators for 64bit
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> not all are in the default repos any more
[13:25] <teklord> I cannot boot Ubuntu from a USB due to a bad hard drive.  The bad drive is the entire reason I am trying to boot from USB.   I am getting a udevd/blkid error, and Ubuntu hangs at the loading screen, followed by a 120 second timeout.
[13:25] <teklord> Help
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> or use wine to run the windows version
[13:25] <Fluid_Mantis> http://segaretro.org/Kega_Fusion
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> teklord: unplug the hd?
[13:25] <Fluid_Mantis> Yeah, I might try Wine.
[13:26] <teklord> Dr_Willis: I shoudlnt have to, and its a damn netbook -- not easy to do.
[13:26] <Fluid_Mantis> But I'll install those libs.
[13:26] <teklord> Why the hell does Ubuntu hang on a hard drive THAT I DONT EVEN WANT TO USE?
[13:26] <teklord> It shouldnt even try to audit for that drive until I ask it to./
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> its scanning the system/hardware ..
[13:26] <MonkeyDust> teklord  a computer does not do what you want, it does what you tell it to do
[13:27] <teklord> So, are you saying that Ubuntu wont work with a box that has a faulty drive?  That is absurd
[13:27] <teklord> I use Arch/Debian, and I never have this problem, and be assured, this is a technical problem.
[13:27] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> I have now installed apache2, mysql, php and phpmyadmin it's all working fine now but I need to change permission on /home/dvs/public_html folder so my IDE can read\write to it. How do I do that? the owner of the directory is "root".
[13:27] <teklord> MonkeyDust: it does what I tell it to?    I asked a very specific question.
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> may be some bootcodes to tell it to not scan/look for the hd
[13:29] <teklord> Dr_Willis: please elaborate.
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> 1boot
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> !boot
[13:29] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> savio: I'm reading on "man chown" but I'm not sure what to do :P
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> may be some boot options.
[13:30] <teklord> Dr_Willis: dont just wave a bot-hand at me, that link will not solve this problem.
[13:30] <Fluid_Mantis> theadmin: Now it's running, thanks.
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> teklord: reading the link may.. have a nice day.
[13:30] <savio> Afflicto-[ubuntu, what actually you want
[13:30] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[13:31] <teklord> Well well, another Ubuntu-fail.  No wonder everyone talks shit about this channel and how useless it's catalysts are.
[13:31] <savio> what's happening
[13:31] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> savio: nvm I got it to work I did chown dvs /home/dvs/public_html :P
[13:31] <savio> again netsplit
[13:31] <Afflicto-[ubuntu> savio: was just afraid mysql or apache would stop working but it's working fine :P
[13:32] <savio> Afflicto-[ubuntu, fine or you can just   change the permission by using chmod
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> point to information.. get yelled at... joys..
[13:32] <savio> instead of changing owner
[13:33] <Sagenth> Cannot resume from suspend, computer turns back on and fans start up but that is it. No network connectivity, no USB activity, no video output. I need help, I am at my wits end on this one.
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth: one of the many reasons i never use suspend. ;()   that and my 10 sec boot times
[13:34] <SDX> Ubuntu 12.10 will have GIMP 2.8 in its repositories, right?
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> Sagenth:  you could try hibernating instead - but it may be just as flakey
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> SDX: if not th3res allways the ppas
[13:35] <Sagenth> I use my computer as an extension of my windows computer, but I don't always need it to be turned on. I just keep my applications open etc etc I've got reasons for suspending
[13:35] <Sagenth> I would prefer to just fix the suspend
[13:35] <SDX> Dr_Willis: I tried the PPA on my current 12.4 install.  It broke the qtcore package.
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> gimp dosent use qt  as far as i know..
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> unless they did a major rewrite
[13:37] <SDX> That's the only thing I can think of that could've broken a package.
[13:37] <SDX> Everything else I installed was from the repos.
[13:38] <SDX> Not to mention that the package was working before I tried the PPA and wasn't afterwards.  But I digress...
[13:40] <silverarrow> anyone on ppc?
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> still looking? ;)
[13:40] <Guest32715> #list
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> you could state the question about it.
[13:40] <Evydderr> Hey What the best file sync app. i got a ubuntu server
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> Evydderr: depends on the details.  rsync is commonly used
[13:41] <Evydderr> all the Development pccs are using Windows for game devlopmen
[13:42] <Guest32715> please help with aircrack..... using ar9285 and ubuntu apgrated to 12.04 lst
[13:42] <silverarrow> Dr_Willis: yes
[13:43] <silverarrow> I have a testpage for java based Bank ID, that immediately crashes on powerpc, in firefox
[13:43] <silverarrow> I wondered if anyone with ppc was will to open the page on the site
[13:43] <truexfan81> any idea why my ethernet would not work in 12.04, when it was used for the netinstall? seems strange to me
[13:44] <Guest32715> please help with aircrack..... using ar9285 and ubuntu apgrated to 12.04 lst
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> truexfan81: could be theres 2 or more  modules/drivers for it. and the installed system is trying the other one.
[13:44] <truexfan81> i used the 12.04 minimal iso to install
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> !details | Guest32715
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> truexfan81: see what module the minimal used.. compare to what the installd version is trying to use
[13:47] <truexfan81> Dr_Willis: i have no idea what the installer used
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> boot it up again and look
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> what is the nic exactly?
[13:48] <truexfan81> it doesn't say, it just auto detects the network devices and gives me the option to use the ethernet or wifi, i told it to use the ethernet
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> lsmod = shows what modules are loaded
[13:48] <truexfan81> it is a Realtek
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> dmesg may give some info also
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> lspci  should show some info also
[13:50] <truexfan81> i'm gonna get on here from the netbook so i can copy/paste
[13:51] <Guest32715> sorry for my english, im working in ubuntu 12.04 lst  upgrated from 10.04   when i was working my aircrack in 10.04  the aircrack worked good, but when i upgrated to 12.04 , when i try to attak with the aireplay  show this: mon0 is on channel -1, but the AP uses channel
[13:51] <tf81_netbook> Dr_Willis: from lspci :
[13:51] <tf81_netbook> 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
[13:52] <Guest32715> USING ar9285
[13:53] <zykotick9> truexfan81: even if you find out what driver you need - from mini (aka netinstall) there is little to nothing you can do about it...  if the driver isn't present you might be outta luck for netinstall
[13:54] <tf81_netbook> well since the Atheros wifi works, it seems like i should be able to install the correct driver on here
[13:54] <zykotick9> tf81_netbook: installing ANYTHING on netinstall is difficult to impossible...
[13:54] <zykotick9> tf81_netbook: almost no tools on mini
[13:55] <Guest32715> i have been searching for compat-wireless2.6.30
[13:55] <Guest32715> but i cant find it
[13:55] <tf81_netbook> what tools would i need?
[13:55] <superfabbb> hi, when i load an ELF 32-bit LSB executable, what folders in ubuntu are modificated?
[13:56] <tf81_netbook> jockey doesn't find any proprietary drivers, so i figure i should be able to find something in synaptic
[13:56] <satish> hi
[13:57] <satish> hello
[13:57] <tf81_netbook> zykotick9: if nothing else i can build from source if i need to
[13:58] <zykotick9> tf81_netbook: on the mini?  good luck with that (the tools i suggested where missing)
[13:58] <theadmin> tf81_netbook: Installing drivers is the simpliest with the jockey tool.
[13:58] <theadmin> !find /usr/bin/jockey-text
[13:58] <KuuHaHa> #
[13:59] <tf81_netbook> yeah jockey finds nothing
[14:00] <KuuHaHa> !develop ubuntu
[14:02] <superfabbb> hi, when i load an ELF 32-bit LSB executable, what folders in ubuntu are modificated?
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> superfabbb: clarify what you mean
[14:06] <superfabbb> i've done an error, how can i clean?
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> superfabbb: clarify what you mean........
[14:06] <tf81_netbook> this is really confusing, the network manager shows the nic's mac address and shows it as eth0, but it doesn't connect
[14:07] <MonkeyDust> superfabbb  start from the beginning, what brings you here
[14:07] <i7c> on my netbook (ubuntu server 12.04) acpid goes crazy when i close the lid... how can i change that? i checked /etc/acpid/events/   and there is no file called lid... any suggestions?
[14:07] <superfabbb> ok, i've downloaded pcsx2, i've uncompressed it and i've load pcsx2, how can i remove it and his temporany files?
[14:08] <mooser> I tried lubuntu and openbox UBUNTU is absolutely the winner
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> superfabbb: delete the files you decompressed, or did it have some installer script?
[14:08] <mooser> They are only spending lower CPU and RAM usage when you do nothing with them. Browsering or any other program use gives u same pain for RAM and CPU
[14:09] <superfabbb> yes, it have a installer script
[14:09] <superfabbb> it has
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> mooser: the browser uses more cpu then the gui.. thats not uncommon
[14:09] <mooser> Dr_Willis:  You were absolutely right...
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> superfabbb: check its docs. it may have an ununstall option
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> the point of a light gui is to save resources for the apps mooser
[14:11] <mooser> Dr_Willis:  I will read some pages for faster Ubuntu. Startup applications was a good start for me.
[14:11] <Sagenth> how do I change power management stuff like the discs shutting off
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> my ubuntu boots to the desktop in like 12 sec..
[14:12] <Atlantic777> lubuntu 12.04 on machine with sis graphics fails to run graphics mode. I've tried to blacklist b43 and disabled apic, acpi, modeset etc. Any other ideas?
[14:12] <mooser> Mine for 7
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> sis is perhaps the worst video card chipset when it comes to linux support
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> Atlantic777: determine the exact chipset, and check the forums and askubuntu.com perhaps
[14:14] <Atlantic777> Dr_Willis: yes, I know. I'm using radeon cards but I would like to get this machine to work.
[14:14] <mooser> Dr_Willis:  Do you use Launcher menu left of the screen? I more like it where it was in task bar on the top as a drop down menu in GNOME
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> mooser: unity uses the left launcher panel. add a dock if you want. there are some 'indicator-applets' to add the classic type menus  to the top right.
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> and i recall some app to add a different menu to the panel. but i forget its name
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> askubuntu.com has a list of indicator applets
[14:16] <mooser> let me check
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> omgubuntu and webupd8 blog sites also list other applets, and classic menu tools
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> i basically use unitys default setup
[14:19] <langhun> hi
[14:19] <stratoka> hi guys, im repartitioning my disk, i just want to know if I should format as fat32 or ntfs my storage partition?
[14:19] <Sagenth> Can anybody tell me where to manage power options for the HDD
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> depends on what you are storeing stratoka
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> not m uch reason for fat32 these days
[14:20] <zzuper> stratoka, ext3
[14:20] <stratoka> so neither way fat?
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> i can think of no reason for fat32
[14:21] <stratoka> ok, thanks guys
[14:21] <stratoka> im off now, by all
[14:21] <afflicto[ubuntu]> So I just went to localhost/test.php and it works fine. Went and created a folder then went to localhost/folder/index.php and it throws 403 forbidden. What's wrong?
[14:21] <tf81_netbook> i fixed it, am now online with the nic
[14:22] <truexfan81> /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[14:23] <tf81_netbook> changed managed=false to managed=true
[14:23] <tf81_netbook> rebooted, and it connects using the nic
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> wonder why it was false
[14:24] <tf81_netbook> no idea, sagir3 tells me he had to do that when he tried ubuntu minimal, so apparently its set to that by default
[14:24] <bond_> hello
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> never used  inimal. ;)
[14:25] <tf81_netbook> i like it, loads much faster on my acer aoa150 :)
[14:25] <bond_> i just installed 12.04 using the alternate cd. does it come without a desktop environment by default or why do i only see a blinking cursor on terminal 7
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset | bond_
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> alt. cd installs same desktop as the desktop cd.
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> bond_: whats the video card?
[14:26] <superfabbb> dr willis i'm not able to remove totally it, :(
[14:26] <bond_> Dr_Willis: nvidia gtx 460 on pcie and intel hd 2000 in cpu
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> bond_:  a dual gpu optimus thing?
[14:27] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[14:27] <om26er> how do i move window buttons in precise ? somehow they went to the right side
[14:27] <Tetracomm> What is the Wine channel?
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> !wine
[14:27] <theadmin> Tetracomm: #winehq
[14:27] <bond_> Dr_Willis: no real dual gpu setup. i wanna use only my nvidia gpu
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> bond_: install the nvidia-current package, or run jockey-text from a console perhaps
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> disable the intel in the bios.
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> !controls | om26er
[14:30] <om26er> Dr_Willis, ehm, i know that. but the opposite happened for . I logged into gnome classic session once now when I come back to unity window buttons are on the *right*
[14:30] <om26er> i want them on the left
[14:30] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> the same commands can move them letf or right side if you use diffent options
[14:31] <Tetracomm> Has anyone used the Timex Ironman Data Link with Ubuntu?
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> the themes can move the controlls around.
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> i just use ubuntu-tweak to set them how i want. ;)
[14:32] <bond_> Dr_Willis: i installed nvidia-current. do i need to do anything else or should i reboot or whut? -.-
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> bond_: if lucky just reboot.
[14:32] <bond_> ok brb
[14:33] <langhun> hello,i want to make friend with foreign .im from china
[14:34] <MonkeyDust> langhun  try in #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:35] <bond_> back
[14:35] <bond_> Dr_Willis: i still dont see any gui. this time the ubuntu splash showed up correctly though.
[14:36] <langhun> what doing in the channel
[14:37] <Sidewinder1> !ot > langhun
[14:38] <foobArrr> does grep have a logical and?
[14:38] <langhun> hello,i want to make friend with m
[14:39] <|newbie|> foobArrr: use grep and pipe it to another grep
[14:39] <langhun> i use the mobie phone
[14:39] <foobArrr> |newbie|: that's problematic with -A -B and -C
[14:40] <Bastian_B> Hello how can I check what app/process is using my port 8005? lsof -i doest not show it :(
[14:40] <|newbie|> you can use -v to exclude some resluts
[14:40] <bond_> can anyone help me get my desktop to work
[14:40] <pawloa> Is it possible to include additional software in a LiveCD image?
[14:40] <|newbie|> you can use -v to exclude some results
[14:41] <pawloa> so that I don't have to go through another hour installing extra software after I install ubuntu?
[14:41] <theadmin> pawloa: http://remastersys.com
[14:41] <MonkeyDust> Bastian_B  netstat with some option(s) ?
[14:42] <langhun> don't know how to see the message
[14:42] <Bastian_B> MonkeyDust Thanks
[14:42] <Tetracomm> Would someone be willing to help me with this? Even if it requires hard work to get the program to work in Wine for other people?: http://pastebin.com/xc6p0Nxz
[14:42] <pawloa> theadmin: beautiful. thanks
[14:42] <afflicto[ubuntu]> I created a .htaccess file but I can't see it?
[14:42] <Sidewinder1> !ot | langhun
[14:42] <MonkeyDust> langhun  type /j #ubuntu-offtopic to make friends
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> Tetracomm: what program?
[14:43] <Sidewinder1> langhun, I hope that helps. :-)
[14:44] <Sidewinder1> langhun, #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place to chit-chat and make friends.
[14:45] <W4sp> Bastian_B: You can check /etc/services what port are declared. A netstat --numeric-ports gives you the current status. Grep the output of this command with |grep 8005.
[14:45] <langhun> o i see
[14:45] <Sidewinder1> :-)
[14:45] <Bastian_B> W4sp netstat does not show it too, I will try this /etc/services thing
[14:45] <Bastian_B> thanks
[14:45] <langhun> thanks every body
[14:46] <Sidewinder1> Our pleasure.
[14:46] <W4sp> Bastian_B: Then it's not currently in use.
[14:46] <Bastian_B> W4sp, it is, but even /etc/services does not show it
[14:47] <bond_> can anybody help me with my fresh ubuntu install please? i cant get to the desktop even though i installed nvidia-current
[14:47] <bond_> im in console hell :)
[14:47] <W4sp> afflicto[ubuntu]: You would need ls -a. If you have done so already it is supposed to be in your www root. Is Apache chrooted?
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> bond_: tried the nomodeset option? checked the x logs?
[14:48] <bond_> Dr_Willis: i cant open a web browser right now since this is the only pc here
[14:48] <Bastian_B> W4sp, hum I am getting an Error 101, does it mean that the port is not used?
[14:48] <Bastian_B> http error
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> edit the grub boot line, (hit e at the menu) put 'nomodeset' betweek the words 'quiet   splash'  and boot
[14:49] <W4sp> Bastian_B: Then it is not declared (yet). You can telnet/ssh into your machine by 'telnet <yourhost> 8005' and see on <yourmachine> with the netstat command I gave you.
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> or edit the /etc/default/grub and add the option, and rerun sudoupdate-grub
[14:49] <W4sp> Bastian_B: What prog gives you 101...?
[14:50] <Bastian_B> Firefox
[14:50] <tf81_netbook> guys thanks for the help, i'm off to bed
[14:51] <Bastian_B> W4sp 'Connectio refused' for telnet/ssh
[14:52] <W4sp> Bastian_B: I see, see if your name services are fine or use IPADDR instead. If the connection is refused there's no prog listening on that port not is any inetd mapped to it, see /etc/services.
[14:52] <Urchin> why does GRUB2 automatially remove old kernels from the list at boot?
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> Urchin: adds them to a sub menu last i looked
[14:52] <truexfan81> +1
[14:53] <Urchin> ok, how do you access the submenu?
[14:53] <xalims> My ubuntu 12.04 server boots really slow when I don't connect it to eth. It continues to wait for internet connection. Please help
[14:53] <truexfan81> thats how it is on mine, adds a submenu
[14:53] <StompinBroknGlas> Hi everyone
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> select the old kernel....... item i belive
[14:53] <threex5> hi
[14:53] <Urchin> I haven't noticed an old kernel item
[14:53] <StompinBroknGlas> I'm having some weird problem with my USB headset
[14:54] <truexfan81> reminds me, i've been meaning to ask if usb headsets work in linux
[14:54] <Dr_Willis> truexfan81: some do.. depends on the chipset
[14:54] <W4sp> xalims: That's of no surprise. As you have figured out yourself it requires a network connection. That's the point of having a server.
[14:54] <Bastian_B> W4sp there is nothing in the files about a port 8005, When I am trying to Listen on port 8005 with apache for example it tells me that it is allready in used that amazing
[14:55] <truexfan81> ah ok, so if i got one from walmart, it would have a 50% chance of working?
[14:55] <xalims> W4sp: Yeah I do know it but I installed it for educational purpose..
[14:55] <|PuLi|> http://steam-refferals.com/index.php?id=32626
[14:55] <Dr_Willis> truexfan81: try it and see
[14:55] <truexfan81> maybe later lol but if it works i will let you know
[14:55] <threex5> hi, briefly: I installed ubuntu to a USB stick. I didn't use any fancy method: just partitioned the usb like i would a drive and installed
[14:55] <StompinBroknGlas> My headset was working, now it doesn't show up in my audio outputs under volume control
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> grabbed a $30 logitech webcam for the grandkids windows box.. it also worked on linux
[14:56] <threex5> the performance is pretty poor. I'm d/ling lubuntu now. would like some advice on portable ubuntu if anyone has any. thx
[14:56] <djbpython> im just an ubuntu user, but i restarted my computer and now the UI looks like windows 95. Very grey and square. Can I fix it?
[14:57] <djbpython> I tried changing the appearance, but it styles the wrong things
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> threex5: ran ubuntu from a 32gb usb for some time.. of course it was slower then on hd.. they do have usb3 flash drives out now. ;)
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> but it was useable.
[14:57] <djbpython> ubuntu 11.04 gnome 2.32.1
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> djbpython: you installed gnome 2 somehow?
[14:58] <threex5> Dr_Willis, thanks. I am trying 32g too. Maybe I need a faster flash drive
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> or am my versions backwards. )
[14:58] <threex5> unless there's a hack where I can use the host HD for swap or something
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> threex5: just put the swap partition on the host hd and edit fstab.. no hack needed
[14:59] <djbpython> Dr_Willis, i didnt change anything except to reboot
[14:59] <threex5> you were running ubuntu, though, not lubuntu right?
[14:59] <W4sp> Bastian_B: I assume you have configured apache with 'Listen 8005'. That should do. Anything more and the logfile should/will tell you. Do you use a firewall? Is IPv6 enabled. Did you try IPADDR instead of DNS resolver? Telnet should have told you something more than CONN_REFUSED to be honest. :-(
[14:59] <djbpython> im not sure what to google either. The things i come up with dont have any relevant hits
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> threex5:  if you are using swap.. thats most likely your biggest bottleneck
[15:00] <W4sp> xalims: Irrespective of its final purpose it requires a working network connection.
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> lunch time..  bbl
[15:01] <threex5> Dr_Willis: good to know. Thanks
[15:02] <bob__> euh ... helooo!! :D
[15:03] <bob__> someone speak french here?
[15:03] <threex5> non

[15:06] <Moonlightning> !metaquestion | bob__
[15:06] <theadmin> bob__: You can use youtube-dl, there are also numerous Firefox and Chrome addons for the purpose.
[15:06] <bob__> theadmin> thanks a lot ...
[15:07] <kjp_1212> Hey, Im new to Ubuntu and was wondering whether anyone knew the exact file path to the terminal. I tried searching for the web, but all the results are just about how to open the terminal
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> kjp_1212  press ctrl-alt t to open the terminal
[15:08] <Moonlightning> I don't know, but have you tried launching it and then `ps`?
[15:08] <Moonlightning> MonkeyDust: not what he asked
[15:08] <W4sp> The terminal you're most llikely about to use is /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> kjp_1212  it's /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> W4sp  was faster :)
[15:09] <W4sp> kjp_1212:   The terminal you're most llikely about to use is /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
[15:09] <Auditor> kjp_1212  /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
[15:09] <Moonlightning> …I think we got that XD
[15:09] <W4sp> MonkeyDust: You beat me!
[15:10] <Melifarrro> who used xdmcp ?
[15:10] <W4sp> kjp_1212: If you know the prog name you can use 'which'. It gives you the first occurence based on you environment settings $PATH for executables.
[15:11] <kjp_1212> awesome!! Thank you guys. Hopefully I can get Qt to work now. :D  Thank you all again !!
[15:11] <W4sp> kjp_1212: Credit goes to MonkeyDust: as he was significant faster than me. :-(
[15:13]  * MonkeyDust puts hands in the air and cheers
[15:15] <kjp_1212> Lol, I havent seen people in race to help someone first XD. Thank you all anyway. :D
[15:18] <headbanger> hello guyz
[15:18] <Moonlightning> I have this weird display problem…I'm not sure how to describe it other than the entire screen looks like the wallpaper in this image: http://cl.ly/IqDo This is on a PowerBook G4 booted with `nomodeset`.
[15:18]  * smartboyhw waves at headbanger
[15:20] <superfabbb> how can i read elf 32 executable file?
[15:20] <headbanger> I have a query.
[15:21] <headbanger> hello smartboyhw and all
[15:21] <Sidewinder1> headbanger, Just ask..
[15:21] <ninjafish> I feel like this is a dumb question, but does anyone know where the binary for cd is located?
[15:21] <ninjafish> Or is it part of bash
[15:22] <Umo111> ninjafish: You want the ISO?
[15:22] <Frozenlo`> Linux newbie here... how can I put multiple command in a shell script? I want them to execute one after the other.
[15:22] <headbanger> I have optimus graphics card laptop. One is Intel HD and other is Nvidia card. I have installed bumblee. Do I need to install noveou also.
[15:23] <ninjafish> Umo111: For example, if I go to /bin/ls the binary for ls is in there
[15:23] <ninjafish> but I cant find a binary for cd
[15:23] <theadmin> Frozenlo`: Simply a script? Separate them with newlines.
[15:23] <theadmin> Frozenlo`: On the actual command-line, use && (if whether the first command succeeds is important) or ;
[15:23] <aaa> ciao
[15:24] <ninjafish> Umo111: or if I go to /usr/bin/head I find the binary for head
[15:24] <Frozenlo`> && will prevent them from running simultaneously?
[15:24] <ninjafish> BTW I mean the command cd, not a compact disk
[15:25] <Frozenlo`> I'm not THAT noob :p
[15:25] <theadmin> Frozenlo`: No, but... Okay, example: false && blah will ONLY run "blah" if "false" succeeds. In our case, never ("false" always fails)
[15:25] <theadmin> Frozenlo`: false ; blah will run blah regardless.
[15:26] <Frozenlo`> Oh ok.
[15:26] <Frozenlo`> In my case I really want them to wait for the previous command to terminate.
[15:26] <ninjafish> The command 'ls' is located in /bin/ls, the command 'head' is located in /usr/bin, where is the command 'cd' located?
[15:27] <Vlan> hi there, someone experiencing low read/write rates w/ SSD drives even w/ AHCI enabled?
[15:27] <Jayflux> Hey guys, is it possible to get apache 2.4 without installing from source?
[15:28] <nothingspecial> ninjafish: cd is built into bash
[15:28] <ninjafish> nothingspecial: okay, thanks
[15:29] <Moonlightning> Jayflux: `apt-get install`?
[15:29] <Jayflux> Moonlightning that will get vers 2.2 I believe
[15:29] <headbanger> Any answers to my query??
[15:30] <Moonlightning> If the version in the repos is outdated, then I think you'll have to install it yourself…
[15:30] <Moonlightning> build *
[15:30] <Moonlightning> usually, though, it's just download, dearchive, cd-configure-make-install
[15:31] <Moonlightning> headbanger: dunno. Is it working without it?
[15:31] <headbanger> Should I install vouveau driver in optimus  switchable graphics
[15:31] <Moonlightning> I dunno, but I'd say if it works, just leave it…
[15:31] <headbanger> Moonlightning: Its working but I am having loads of problems on suspend, hibernate and poweroff
[15:32] <Moonlightning> headbanger: do you know that they're related?
[15:32] <bz> ghostery: lol
[15:33] <headbanger> Moonlighting: I read it in bumblee wiki that;s the reason I wanted to ask because I had installed bumblee only not the noveua
[15:37] <headbanger> Moonlighting: Any thing you have in mind
[15:40] <Moonlightning> headbanger: tbh, I don't know XD
[15:40] <Moonlightning> Trying to get help here myself, but nobody seems to know, and I end up helping other people instead… XD
[15:40] <headbanger> Oh Moonlighting
[15:42] <Sidewinder1> Moonlightning, It's all good, though. :)
[15:44] <lolcat> Hello
[15:44] <lolcat> How do I mount a corrupted .dmg image?
[15:44] <Moonlightning> Trying to salvage data from it?
[15:44] <kjp_1212> Hey guys, I had the same bug as this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtcreator/+bug/566387 . I was wondering if I could help document it somewhere so that people wont have to run around asking the same question I had. Im really new to all this so I cant fix it on my own. I can however help document it somehow. Any suggestions?
[15:45] <lolcat> Moonlightning: Yes, I used ddrescue to make it. The first 93MB is corrupted. I want to see the last 268mb to know if it is anything usable

[16:07] <micheal> hey i'm having trouble upgrading from maverick
[16:07] <theadmin> micheal: Details, please.
[16:07] <islandmonkey> !vague
[16:08] <islandmonkey> Whoops, wrong factiod
[16:08] <Moonlightning> !details | micheal
[16:08] <micheal> well i just installed 9.04 and forced it to update to maverick but i can't get it to go to 11.04 or newer with the update
[16:09] <theadmin> micheal: Wait, "forced to update to maverick"? You can only go to Karmic from Jaunty. Whatever you did sounds fishy.
[16:10]  * NoFace hello !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[16:10] <micheal> well i had to make it go to karmic then maverick but as karmic is no longer supported via update manager i had to do a trick or two to update but i used apt-get to go to maverick
[16:11] <theadmin> micheal: That's your problem... I think your only real option is to reinstall now. For the future, see this guide.
[16:11] <theadmin> !eolupgrade | micheal
[16:11] <theadmin> Err
[16:11] <theadmin> !eol | micheal
[16:11] <xangua> michaelhow about you do a fresh install instead of breaking it more¿ :)
[16:11] <IdleOne> ubottu: eolupgrade is <alias> eol
[16:12] <bond_> hello
[16:12] <micheal> question is 11.04 when they went to the new gnome?
[16:12] <IdleOne> theadmin: it should work from now on :). I've made that mistake a couple times myself
[16:12] <theadmin> IdleOne: Thanks :)
[16:12] <islandmonkey> micheal: No 11.10
[16:13] <bond_> i just installed the xubuntu-desktop package and everything went fine so far but i cant login to my desktop. when i enter password in lightdm i get thrown back to lightdm. help! :LO
[16:13] <islandmonkey> If you want to use GNOME 3 I recommend 12.04
[16:13] <IdleOne> micheal: follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades and you should be able to upgrade to 11.04
[16:13] <islandmonkey> IdleOne: theadmin already said that :)
[16:14] <IdleOne> islandmonkey: thanks.
[16:15] <theadmin> Hm, what display manager is used in Xubuntu?
[16:15] <thedarki> why xubuntu too slow brightness?

[16:16] <islandmonkey> mzaam: Not window manager, display manager
[16:17] <bond_> theadmin: i use lightdm
[16:17] <meshelton> hi everyone, I have a question about networking in ubuntu, specifically getting my laptop to recognize my kindle through ethernet over usb
[16:17] <bond_> but i have the same problem with gdm
[16:17] <islandmonkey> thedarki: That's not Xubuntu's problem, it's a problem with your graphics card or you might of accidentally put it too low
[16:18] <islandmonkey> Oops he left
[16:18] <meshelton> anyone skilled with networking in ubuntu?
[16:18] <micheal> one last question what would cause graphics to strip like a slash across the screen?
[16:18]  * micheal expects a bad graphic driver
[16:19] <islandmonkey> meshelton: Don't ask to ask, just ask the whole question
[16:19] <islandmonkey> micheal: ATI?
[16:20] <deadmund> micheal: I believe the keyword for that is clipping.  Specifically, incorrect vertical refresh rate / bad driver.
[16:20] <meshelton> islandmonkey: I literally just got it, thanks anyway guys
[16:20] <deadmund> micheal: Or something is moving very fast across the screen.  In which case the clipping maybe part of the video
[16:20] <bond_> can anybody help me with my login manager problem
[16:20] <threex5> Dr_Willis, are you around?

[16:22] <luyang> Hi I find Ubuntu runs really slow inside Virtualbox
[16:22] <luyang> is that normal?
[16:22] <threex5> If I'm running lubuntu on a usb drive, what would be an ideal partitioning scheme?
[16:22] <micheal> when doing a system test the error ocures durring glxgears
[16:22] <threex5> I normally do 100mb /boot, 4gb swap, 15gb / and the rest /home
[16:22] <threex5> for non usb installation
[16:22] <deadmund> luyang: If you don't have a machine that is like 2 x the hardware of a normal machine then yes.
[16:22] <deadmund> luyang: particularly, ram
[16:23] <Animus123> anybody know working sis 671 3D graphic driver?
[16:23] <bogor> Is there any disadvantage of installing ubuntu on pen drive instead of running it as live cd ?
[16:23] <luyang> deadmund: I have an Intel i7 8GB RAM with an SSD disk
[16:23] <deadmund> bogor: not really
[16:23] <threex5> bogor: it's faster and writable
[16:23] <deadmund> luyang: It should be fast! :)
[16:23] <bogor> Thanks guys that gave me confidence.
[16:23] <threex5> also you can have swap
[16:23] <dzragon> luyang: have you enabled the setting for virtualbox to see your .vdi file as ssd-disk?
[16:23] <deadmund> luyang: How much ram did you allocate to the VM?
[16:24] <Animus123> anybody know working sis 671 3D driver?
[16:24] <bogor> Now i am proceeding to install on flash drive
[16:24] <luyang> deadmund: well it's not that fast... alt tabbing sometimes hangs but I wonder if it's due to system updates in the background or a bad configuration
[16:24] <luyang> dzragor: I don't think I have... how do I?
[16:24] <islandmonkey> !patience | Animus123
[16:24] <dzragon> let me check and make a screenie
[16:24] <luyang> deadmund: not sure how much RAM I allocated
[16:24] <deadmund> luyang: Check the VM config.  ON a machine like that updates in the background should be insignificant
[16:24] <deadmund> luyang: Probs give it at least 1Gb if not 4
[16:25] <shade34321> I recently upgraded a computer from 11.10 to 12.04 and other than twinview problems it seemed to be working. While trying to fix the twinview issues I rebooted the computer and the keyboard and mouse no longer worked. I can hit F12 during boot to pick boot device but once the login screen hits neither work. When I ssh into the machine lsusb shows that both the keyboard and mouse are seen. Any suggestions on getting them working? Thanks!
[16:25] <theadmin> mzaam: "metacity" is the window manager (that's xfwm4 in Xubuntu, by the way). I'm talking about the login window thingie.
[16:25] <Animus123> ubottu:do you know something about sis 671 3D driver?
[16:25] <mzaam> Animus123 try hellnest driver, compile it with full xorg dev and mesa dev package, not accelarated 3d, but at least i can play some 3d game here
[16:26] <dzragon> luyang: http://i.imgur.com/h8ypw.png
[16:26] <luyang> deadmund: I think I have 512MB base memory and that might be the problem
[16:26] <deadmund> luyang: that is the problem!
[16:26] <Animus123> mzaam:can you completely describe it?
[16:26] <deadmund> luyang: rather, that is definitely A problem.
[16:27] <samcoldham12> does anyone now anything about ubuntu tv how do i install it
[16:27] <luyang> deadmund:  oh you're swedish too? ok I'll check that and increase the base memory from 512 to 1024 MB
[16:28] <mzaam> Animus123 describe which part?
[16:28] <theadmin> samcoldham12: It's simply a concept. It doesn't exist yet, I'd believe.
[16:28] <zzuper> sweden rules the earth
[16:28] <Animus123> mzaam:do it really work in ubuntu 12.04?
[16:28] <samcoldham12> ok thanks
[16:28] <MikeRL> It's not really available yet. You can get it touch with Canonical about it on http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/tv
[16:28] <luyang> zzuper: sweden rules Assange
[16:28] <deadmund> luyang: I am not Swedish but I am flattered by the 'compliment' if it is one
[16:28] <luyang> deadmund: sure why not
[16:28] <Animus123> mzaam:complete process!!
[16:28] <threex5> can anyone help me out wrt getting lubuntu on my usb stick?
[16:29] <mzaam> Animus123 yes, i use it now
[16:29] <nOStahl> where can I find a guide to install ubuntu 12.04 on raid 1
[16:29] <luyang> deadmund: it seems I have to stop the VM to change the SSD setting... so see you later
[16:29] <deadmund> luyang: haha
[16:29] <islandmonkey> !raid
[16:29] <deadmund> luyang: yep
[16:29] <deadmund> cya
[16:29] <MonkeyDust> threex5  a live installation or persistent installation?
[16:29] <threex5> persistent
[16:30] <Animus123> mzaam:can you please tell complete procedure? i will send you and email id of mine if you need!
[16:30] <MonkeyDust> !persistent > threex5
[16:30] <mzaam> Animus123 install all xorg-dev and mesa-dev related package then search hellnest blog on web, then u can go on your own
[16:31] <threex5> i saw this, thanks. i opted to just run the lubuntu live cd
[16:31] <threex5> and install to usb like i would a hard drive
[16:31] <MonkeyDust> threex5  then there's unetbootin
[16:31] <threex5> only it installed the whole os in /boot, which surprised me
[16:32] <threex5> ah
[16:32] <theghost> can u prebuild teamspeak 3 via adding the repositeries
[16:32] <threex5> ok with unetbootin I don't need to boot into my live disc to make my thumb drive, correct?
[16:32] <Animus123> mzaam:right now!i too using a different driver,but that's giving me a 2D appearance! so do i want to remove this one to install suggested driver?
[16:33] <Animus123> mzaam:sorry it's uninstall not install!
[16:34] <theghost> can u prebuild teamspeak 3 via adding the repositeries
[16:34] <mzaam> Animus123 don't need to remove it, just install the driver and it will replace it, i guess
[16:35] <Animus123> mzaam:can you please display the link,for download of hellnest driver?
[16:35] <Ca11um> In Ubuntu 12.04, is it possible to enforce some form of 'parental controls'?
[16:35] <Ca11um> I need to block users from accessing the system settings, and being able to download programs.
[16:35] <BankZ> Any recommendations on a ultrabook?
[16:35] <threex5> do partitions matter on a usb?
[16:36] <theadmin> Ca11um: Unless they are members of "admin" group, they won't be able to do either. Well, they can download programs, but not install them anyway.
[16:36] <threex5> Ca11um, don't you need administrative priviledges for that anyway?
[16:36] <Moonlightning> Well, they can /install/ them, just not in places like /usr/bin
[16:36] <Ca11um> You're able to run programs though?
[16:36] <mzaam> Animus123 here
[16:36] <theadmin> Ca11um: Sure.
[16:36] <mzaam> http://hellbunker.blogspot.com/2011/03/driver-sis-m671-m672-for-upcoming-natty.html
[16:36] <Ca11um> My users have easily installed tonnes of crappy toolbars and other junk
[16:37] <Ca11um> I need to prevent downloading altogether then
[16:37] <Sidewinder1> Ca11um, You are not dealing with a wubi install, are you?
[16:37] <Ca11um> No
[16:37] <Sidewinder1> Good!
[16:37] <theadmin> Ca11um: Hm, well, I can only suggest something like making .mozilla read-only and blocking access to ~/Downloads.
[16:38] <Ca11um> Are there no services that can be installed, from the Ubuntu Store perhaps?
[16:38] <jemadux> can some one fork a ppa >
[16:38] <theadmin> Ca11um: (chmod 555 ~/.mozilla ; chmod 000 ~/Downloads)
[16:38] <sun_devil10> I am trying to ssh or even telnet into my virtual with apache running. Keeps saying that host is down or blocking?
[16:38] <Animus123> mzaam:do it form different color strips during shutdown or watching hd videos?
[16:39] <edgy> Hi, if I changed MaxClients how can I confirm whether it's applied?
[16:39] <Marzata> what time of the day /etc/cron.daily/ is executed?
[16:39] <Ca11um> So Ubuntu has no parental controls whatsoever?
[16:40] <theadmin> Ca11um: Well, no, it doesn't directly offer "parental controls". You simply have to get your permissions straight, you know?
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> Ca11um  there's nanny, but it has bugs
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> info nanny
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> !info nanny
[16:40] <theadmin> Huh, never heard of that one.
[16:41] <Ca11um> What kind of bugs?
[16:41] <glitsj16> Marzata: that is set in /etc/crontab i believe
[16:41] <MonkeyDust> i tried it, did nothing, wanted to report in launchpad, but it's already reported
[16:42] <Animus123> mzaam:can i play HD videos with the help of this driver?
[16:42] <mzaam> Animus123 during shutdown yes, during watching video i don't think so. as long u use X11 video output, see the blog comment for detail
[16:42] <sun_devil10> I can ping my ip and it is up
[16:43] <Animus123> mzaam:so do you know how to remove this strips shutdown problem?
[16:43] <Marzata> glitsj16: than you very much!
[16:44]  * Sidewinder1 Never heard of Nanny either; learn something new everyday. :)
[16:44] <mzaam> Animus123 i don't know but it dont bother me, it doesn't stop me from shutting down
[16:45] <theadmin> Animus123: It seems to be a thing with video drivers of certain manufacturers, it's no big deal really, just ignore it
[16:45] <shade34321> I recently upgraded a computer from 11.10 to 12.04 and other than twinview problems it seemed to be working.

[16:56] <ebbers> any is not the answer im looking for
[16:57] <ebbers> do you have experience with audacity and vlc?
[16:57] <shade34321> I recently upgraded a computer from 11.10 to 12.04 and other than twinview problems it seemed to be working.

[16:57] <ebbers> that seems awfully ubuntu centric
[16:58] <ebbers> My experience is that some versions work out of the box and others don't
[16:58] <ThinkT510> ebbers: i've not had any problems with any release of ubuntu with vlc
[16:58] <micheal> i'm on 10.10
[16:59] <ebbers> what do you do with vlc?
[16:59] <sun_devil10> I think my iptables might be blocking my access via ssh
[16:59] <wilee-nilee> wlosio, Not sure there any gui's for this but here is an option. http://technoergonomics.com/articles/2011/12/converting-audio-file-formats-ape-cue-flac-linux  from this Google search  https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=ubuntu+convert+.APE+to+.FLAC+&gbv=1&sei=PxoxULCWH8bpiwLs54CwAw
[16:59] <mzaam> Animus123 thx, will try it
[17:00] <ebbers> What do you use vlc for? Because that may be why you havent had any problems
[17:00] <wilee-nilee> !nicks | please use nicks in responses
[17:00] <wilee-nilee> !nick
[17:00] <ThinkT510> ebbers: watching various vids and listening to music
[17:00] <ebbers> I have loaded Ubuntu 12.04 ten times on three different machines and everyone gave me trouble with sound including support for audacity and vlc
[17:01] <Deku> !wilee-nilee lol :P
[17:01] <necro_> hello
[17:01] <Deku> hello
[17:01] <ebbers> ok well there you have it. Watching videos and listening to music works but how about streaming to http
[17:01] <necro_> my fan only works after it reaches 75ºC in my laptop
[17:01] <ebbers> doesnt work
[17:02] <necro_> Is there a way to fix that? Im affraid my processor gets damaged
[17:02] <glebihan> wilee-nilee, I think you were looking for !who
[17:02] <ebbers> try streaming an mp3 w vlc on ubuntu 12.04
[17:02] <wilee-nilee> ebbers, please use the nick of the person you are addressing the tab will complete the nick if you type a few of the first letters. ;)
[17:03] <ebbers> And Audacity is as glitchy as ever worse than ever before.. ok
[17:03] <ebbers> ooops
[17:03] <ebbers> ThinkT510, is who i'm addressing
[17:04] <micheal> wait natty has the first of the funky gnomes
[17:04] <ThinkT510> micheal: unity
[17:04] <micheal> yes when gnome started looking like an apple product
[17:04] <g4m30v3r> can someone tell me how to install the downloads i got off the internet?
[17:04] <micheal> very bad interface
[17:05] <ebbers> So it goes. Trouble finding any support for this. I've been looking and looking for weeks
[17:05] <ThinkT510> micheal: actually unity isn't as bad as i thought it would be
[17:05] <wilee-nilee> g4m30v3r, Do you check to see if the downloads are in the repo's first?
[17:05] <micheal> i guess i should work on addressing my graphics driver rather then mod to a newer less friendly os
[17:05] <g4m30v3r> wilee-nilee: repo's?
[17:06] <ebbers> Where do i find support for ubuntu12.04 and vlc/audacity?
[17:06] <micheal> theres something wrong with the graphics that causes it to go crazy when 3d rendering
[17:06] <wilee-nilee> g4m30v3r, repositories
[17:07] <islandmonkey> ebbers: Here. And #vlc and #audacity
[17:07] <micheal> but it's also linked with quadrapassel
[17:07] <g4m30v3r> wilee-nilee: where do i find that i'm sorry im very new to ubuntu 12.04
[17:07] <ebbers> islandmonkey, #Audacity is empty went to #vlc no one could solve
[17:08] <ThinkT510> !software | g4m30v3r
[17:08] <theghost> can u use ubuntu for setting up a company lets say to run a website and help users with remote support and things like that
[17:08] <wilee-nilee> g4m30v3r, you should have a ubuntu software center and you can install things with sudo apt-get install "pkg name"
[17:08] <ebbers> islandmonkey, #Audacity says send us an email
[17:08] <necro_> does anyone know why my ñaptop fan only works in very high temperatures?
[17:08] <wilee-nilee> g4m30v3r, It is not often you have to install from the net.
[17:09] <g4m30v3r> well i was downloading stuff off of thepiratebay
[17:09] <islandmonkey> necro_: Because it's common sense.
[17:09] <ebbers> islandmonkey, I'm here because both vlc and audacity don't work in ubuntu 12.04. But I had no trouble with previous versions of ubuntu
[17:10] <wilee-nilee> g4m30v3r, not a good source
[17:10] <ThinkT510> ebbers: did you use unity in previous versions? are you using unity now?
[17:10] <ebbers> islandmonkey, or should i say less trouble. VLC was a little glitchy on the 10.04 lts
[17:11] <ebbers> no this is the first time i have used unity
[17:11] <g4m30v3r> wilee-nilee: i know but i was also getting stuff from isohunt and other sites how do i install the downloaded content
[17:11] <kjp_1212> Is there a higher privilege than root. Im trying to run QtCreator with opencv(in Ubuntu)  and the compiler says " cannot execute permission denied". Any idea why?
[17:11] <ThinkT510> ebbers: try unity2d
[17:11] <ebbers> islandmonkey, I don't know much about unity does it relate to the performance of these programs?
[17:12] <Sidewinder1> ebbers, If 10.04 works best for you (it's what I use), use it until it's EOL.
[17:12] <ebbers> islandmonkey, so log out and back into unity 2d?
[17:12] <ThinkT510> ebbers: unity uses compiz which can be buggy at times, unity2d uses metacity
[17:12] <islandmonkey> ebbers: ThinkT510 is talking to you, not me
[17:12] <wilee-nilee> g4m30v3r, First check if they are in the repo's packages there may have been modified to run best in ubuntu, and are a safe source. If you need help otherwise you need to name the package type you have like is it a tar.gz....etc
[17:12] <ThinkT510> ebbers: if it works in unity2d then you know compiz is at fault
[17:13] <ebbers> Sidewinder1, Thank you for that. I'm just trying to give the 12.04 version benefit of my doubt
[17:13] <nOStahl> hey guys I'm on the alternate cd installer for 12.04   how do you delete an LVM
[17:13] <ThinkT510> Sidewinder1: eol for desktop support is fast approaching for 10.04
[17:13] <ebbers> ThinkT510, K I'm trying now
[17:13] <g4m30v3r> wilee-nilee: its a .rar and a .exe
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> g4m30v3r, you running wine?
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> FOR THE .EXE
[17:14] <Sidewinder1> ebbers, No worries; I've installed 12.04 on another box, just to be prepared for the inevitable, as ThinkT510 above mentioned. :)
[17:14] <wilee-nilee> opps cap lock sorry
[17:14] <g4m30v3r> wilee-nilee: whats wine and do i get it by typing  sudo apt-get install wine?
[17:14] <red_baron> hello
[17:15] <red_baron> ln: failed to create symbolic link `/home/jony/.PlayOnLinux': File exists
[17:15] <ThinkT510> g4m30v3r: seriously, read up on this
[17:15] <ebbers> Sidewinder1, I'm suprised that I haven't found someone who is dealing with this already
[17:15] <red_baron> please help me in this
[17:15] <ThinkT510> !software | g4m30v3r
[17:15] <red_baron> I want to modify the path
[17:15] <wilee-nilee> g4m30v3r, I'm not familiar with wine never used it, but it is for running a limited amount of MS programs.
[17:16] <g4m30v3r> ty wilee-nilee
[17:16] <wilee-nilee> !wine  g4m30v3r no proble look here.
[17:16] <wilee-nilee> !wine
[17:16] <Sidewinder1> ebbers, There are probably quite a few; it goes EOL next April (2013) if memory serves, at least for desktop, not server.
[17:16] <ebbers> ThinkT510, Nope 2d no luck with vlc
[17:16] <ThinkT510> ebbers: then compiz is not the problem, well at least you can rule that out
[17:17] <ebbers> Sidewinder1, OK back to my original question what is the best version of ubuntu for vlc and audacity?
[17:17] <g4m30v3r> and to the rest of you i have read up on it and i'm sorry i thought this was a support channel not a put down and make myself feel bigger channel bye
[17:17] <ebbers> ThinkT510, Thanks it might help with audacity's glitch
[17:18] <wilee-nilee> hehe the IRC is not always a comforting place.
[17:18] <ebbers> Audacity recods fast then slow then fast ug
[17:19] <Sidewinder1> ebbers, Well, I'm no expert; that said, I use Totem and Audacity also runs on this 10.04 machine. "Best" is way subjective, why not try them all and see which fits your needs the "best." Not trying to be wishy-washy, but I think you know what I mean. ;-)
