[00:01] <ellis> chip8874, that's strange. Your best bet is reading into MSI-X. It's pretty low level stuff, my guess is that the kernel either doesn't support your GPU, or the necessary modules aren't loaded
[00:02] <DoctorMonocular> hey everyone, having a good saturday?
[00:02] <chip8874> so should I use an older version of ubuntu or fedora? I have no clue what msi-x is but I will attempt to educate myself
[00:03] <ellis> chip8874, have you had other operating systems working on the computer, like Windows?
[00:03] <chip8874> no. I assembled it today
[00:03] <chip8874> and I don't really want to download windows, tbh
[00:03] <ellis> chip8874, It could be a hardware fault then with the GPU. It's hard to say
[00:04] <DoctorMonocular> I've been pulling my hair out today trying to troubleshoot my ruby / rails and related software, it's acting up
[00:04] <Conradzz> should I use synaptic or ubunut software center?
[00:04] <DoctorMonocular> the first thing I want to do is remove rvm from my system entirely
[00:04] <DoctorMonocular> but I can't seem to do that
[00:04] <L3top> chip8874: I am beginning to wonder if your gpu is sound. Is this on-board?
[00:04] <ellis> chip8874, without trying a non-Linux-kernel operating system, you can't rule out the possibility that the hardware isn't faulty
[00:05] <DoctorMonocular> ruby-rvm shows as an installed package, and removing it gets a message about it not being installed
[00:05] <chip8874> L3top: I don't think my motherboard has onboard graphics. There are no kinds of visual ports on the mobo. It's an xfx radeon hd 6790
[00:05] <chip8874> ellis:
[00:06] <chip8874> ellis: Right. Are there any ways of testing this?
[00:06] <L3top> shows as installed where DoctorMonocular
[00:06] <ellis> chip8874, I would bet money that your computer would boot into a non-graphical OS fine. Download Arch Linux and boot that
[00:06] <sun_devil> Anybody know the command line phrase to kill or stop bluetooth.  I did a service bluetooth stop, which did not work
[00:06] <ellis> chip8874, If it boots Arch Linux fine, then it's definitely a graphics problem (hardware or software)
[00:07] <chip8874> ellis: I will try this and see what happens
[00:07] <L3top> You can boot ubuntu headless and do the same thing
[00:07] <chip8874> L3top: ok how do you do that?
[00:07] <ellis> chip8874, yes go with L3top suggestion
[00:08] <DoctorMonocular> @L3top, I take it back now, it's not showing anymore when I write dpkg -l | grep rvm
[00:08] <L3top> chip8874: you can grab a minimal iso and only install what you need, and test graphics from there... but... you have been here a minute, is this a problem with install or live boot?
[00:08] <DoctorMonocular> however, when I search
[00:08] <DoctorMonocular> there are LOTS of rvm files in the system
[00:08] <DoctorMonocular> config files and sutff that I suspect is messing me up down the line
[00:08] <DoctorMonocular> wrong paths, that sort of thing
[00:09] <DoctorMonocular> I gather the correct way to install it for now is with curl, not apt-get
[00:09] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: apt-get remove --purge ruby-rvm
[00:09] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: when you simply remove, it gets rid of some things but keeps config files etc
[00:09] <chip8874> L3top: they both behave the same way. I can pick the run option or the install option and they behave the same way. An attempt at a fedora install gave the same visuals before crashing
[00:10] <DoctorMonocular> @L3top, when I run that command it works, but it says 0 ugraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, and 11 not upgraded
[00:10] <DoctorMonocular> so it apparently changed nothing
[00:10] <chip8874> L3top: And, Im sorry, but how do I get a minimal iso
[00:10] <L3top> !nomodeset | chip8874
[00:10] <crash1hd> Hey all is there an easy way to allow access to / on a live cd using samba without asking for a username / password as on my windows end it wants to enter a username / password with domain yet I am not on a domain?
[00:10] <wilee-nilee> !minimal
[00:10] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: there was nothing to uninstall, but check for those config files now
[00:11] <ellis> chip8874, Download minimal CD from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[00:11] <DoctorMonocular> L3top, I'm still seeing dozens of directories and files scattered everywhere, and I haven't even tried to look inside files for the string rvm yet
[00:12] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: you might consider installing it, then purging it.
[00:13] <DoctorMonocular> L3top, I had though of just deleting the files, but I can't seem to -- lemme try it from the terminal with sudo
[00:13] <m1jj> linux is the new windows and freebsd is the new linux
[00:13] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: dpkg -S ruby-rvs
[00:13] <nickgaw> Hi, I am trying to find the download link for the package that allows you to make a custom live ubuntu CD but the page all it talks about is the program not where to download it?
[00:14] <DoctorMonocular> L3top, no path matching pattern *ruby-rvm*
[00:14] <ellis> mljj: laptop are the new desktop and netbooks are the new laptops
[00:14] <chip8874> ubottu: I do not get to that purple screen
[00:14] <baddhabit> no... no no.. still not working... tired of this.. reinstalling.. i give up.. sigh
[00:14] <chip8874> oops noob mistake
[00:14] <L3top> nickgaw: you are probably talking about remastersys... yes?
[00:15] <nickgaw> correct that is the program where no download link I can find
[00:16] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: I do not know if dpkg -S works with globs... try ruby-rvm with both -S and -L
[00:17] <L3top> you will have to add the repo based on your distro nickgaw
[00:17] <L3top> what version are you on nickgaw
[00:17] <nickgaw> I have both a debian and ubuntu 12.04 install where on the page can I find the list of repos?
[00:18] <indian> any one using hotot
[00:18] <L3top> nickgaw: http://www.remastersys.com/ubuntu.html  look for Where can I get
[00:19] <nickgaw> ok
[00:20] <szymon_g> hi
[00:22] <szymon_g> how can i turn off the graphic boot in newest ubuntu? i've deleted "quiet splash" options in that new grub list, but its still hangs
[00:22] <szymon_g> i would like to either boot in text mode, or in working graphical mode (even with low resolution etc)- so i'll be able to install proper drivers
[00:23] <DoctorMonocular> L3top, ok going through the terminal to delete all the rvm files and folders worked, so now I want to search for all the files on my system that have the text rvm in them (specifically looking for config files that contain the old path information) -- what's the best way?
[00:23] <L3top> sudo grep -r rvm /*             but its gonna take a while, and find a lot.
[00:24] <DoctorMonocular> L3top, ok -- I can do that, but meanwhile, any ideaas on which config files might contain that path info I'm trying to purge?
[00:24] <sun_devil> I guess to remove bluetooth you also have to remove its dependencies?
[00:25] <jgalt> how can I get my marvell 802.11 pci card working.  the installer did not find it but lspci lists it.
[00:25] <L3top> well thats an odd grouping of chars... it might not find THAT much... but more than I ever expect... Not really DoctorMonocular... like I said, I would have installed it again and done a purge... would have at least gotten a lot closer.
[00:26] <jgalt> it's a marvel 88w8335 based card.
[00:26] <herp> I want espeak to sound like os x say command
[00:27] <herp> how can i do this
[00:30] <alexhairyman> is there a command to force quit a window in 12.04?
[00:30] <herp> how can i change the espeak voice?
[00:31] <L3top> alexhairyman: alt f4? right click on taskbar and quit... or drop to a termnial and get mean.
[00:32]  * L3top is using kubu... loses track of chats
[00:32] <alexhairyman> Is that universal? I kept looking through my path for xquit or xforce, or something similar, but it was actually xquit
[00:34] <nickgaw> Is there an easy way on ubuntu 12.04 to install the real gnome classic setup as I am totally blind and find the new setup tricky to use with orca?
[00:34] <LordOfTime> nickgaw:  apt-get install gnome-classic?
[00:35] <LordOfTime> !notunity | nickgaw
[00:35] <LordOfTime> !classic | nickgaw
[00:35] <zykotick9> nickgaw: gome-panel gives a very gnome2 like environment
[00:35] <sun_devil> Is there a way to block bluetooth?  I do a chkconfig and can't rid it of my machine
[00:36] <DoctorMonocular> L3top, you weren't kidding, grep has just been sitting there 8/
[00:36] <nickgaw> so the normal gnome-classic is in ubuntu 12.04 as reading on line I read that that package did not provide that desktop?
[00:36] <DoctorMonocular> but I think I can't move on without making sure the paths aren't just sitting there waiting to mess things up
[00:38] <L3top> It is literally searching text against every readable character in every file on your computer. It will filter through your movies looking for it. Gonna take a while.
[00:38] <DoctorMonocular> this is a fresh install on an SSD, so hopefully it won't take TOO much longer
[00:38]  * L3top hearts ruby btw
[00:38] <L3top> wont
[00:38] <DoctorMonocular> yeah I love it... when I can get it to work, haha
[00:39] <DoctorMonocular> the problem is that I'm pretty green with linux so I'm fighting with that instead of writing code
[00:39] <DoctorMonocular> I've been mostly a .NET guy for like 10 years
[00:39] <DoctorMonocular> so it's a switch
[00:43] <m1jj> what is linux all about? freedom? i think it could be a technology that enslaves us all.
[00:44] <DoctorMonocular> I'll have what m1jj is having, whatever it is
[00:44] <DoctorMonocular> maaaan
[00:44] <DoctorMonocular> 8)
[00:44] <gccster> guys ive installed ubuntu 12.04 nvidia drivers+bumblebee how can i enable touchpad vertical scroll?
[00:46] <T_A_N_K> my pc pooped
[00:46] <OerHeks> gccster, there is a #bumblebee irc channel here on #freenode. those guys are up2date
[00:46] <gccster> OerHeks, im not sure its a bumbleebee problem
[00:48] <sun_devil> Having a problem installing telnet
[00:49] <szymon_g> sun_devil: why would you like to use it?
[00:49] <szymon_g> and what's the problem?
[00:50] <sun_devil> Sometimes cant access ssh
[00:51] <remlabm> so, cool trick. I decided i wanted to rotate a monitor clockwise. Did somethings, rebooted and now when unity is loaded i get a broken screen and unresponsive mouse. Any ideas?
[00:54] <DoctorMonocular> are there any nice alternative terminal programs? I'd like to be able to do things I can do in any text editor
[00:54] <DoctorMonocular> like CTRL+V
[00:54] <DoctorMonocular> or CTRL+arrow key
[00:54] <DoctorMonocular> stuff like that
[00:54] <remlabm> or, does anyone know how i can remove unity display settings so i atleast can get back to GUI?
[01:03] <veinos> Is there something I need to do so ubuntu uses full wireless N capability? I'm stuck at 4meg/sec transfering on my network rather than the full 8meg I usually get
[01:04] <szymon_g> i wish i could use even 4 mb, so do not complain ;)
[01:05] <veinos> well, 8 is twice better, believe me
[01:07] <GeekSquid1> DoctorMonocular: Ctrl-shift-V is the trick
[01:12] <DoctorMonocular> GeekSquid1, thanks for that, I didn't know
[01:13] <DoctorMonocular> but alas, I think suicide maybe the answer (joke) -- after all that, reinstalling everything and having it appear to work
[01:13] <DoctorMonocular> I opened a second terminal window
[01:13] <DoctorMonocular> and just tried to run the console
[01:13] <DoctorMonocular> and it doesn't know where to find ruby
[01:14] <DoctorMonocular> the first terminal does though, which tells me... something -- I know it's a config somewhere, but I'm lost on what I actually need to change
[01:14] <dzup> i dont like unity
[01:14] <mun> i see that libpng 1.2.46-3ubuntu1.3 was released as an update, but does that mean the version in the current PPA is also that version?
[01:14] <dzup> i need to uninstall unity, how?
[01:15] <L3top> !nounity | dzup
[01:15] <DoctorMonocular> L3top, any idea why one terminal would work while another terminal window doesn't work?
[01:15] <L3top> Can you expoind
[01:15] <L3top> expound*
[01:15] <dzup> L3top: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS \n \l here.
[01:16] <DoctorMonocular> see above -- I reinstalled everything, so I have rvm running ruby 1.9.3
[01:16] <DoctorMonocular> rails works
[01:16] <DoctorMonocular> it's running my app
[01:16] <DoctorMonocular> I can get the console
[01:16] <DoctorMonocular> everything
[01:16] <FloodBot1> DoctorMonocular: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:16] <DoctorMonocular> but only in the terminal window that I did all the work in
[01:16] <DoctorMonocular> if I try a separate termnal window, it can't find ruby at all
[01:16] <L3top> same applies dzup. Factoid hasnt been updated
[01:16] <L3top> !enter DoctorMonocular
[01:16] <L3top> !enter | DoctorMonocular
[01:16] <floogy> Hi, what's the name of the mint channel?
[01:17] <floogy> I got problems to boot from my pendrivve into mint 13
[01:17] <veinos> i would guess linuxmint
[01:17] <L3top> !mint
[01:18] <floogy> veinos thanks, I'll try that
[01:18] <dzup> L3top: here we go again, tk
[01:18] <DoctorMonocular> L3top, what did that mean? !enter etc?
[01:18] <veinos> ubottu got you covered :)
[01:19] <mun> how come launchpad says libpng 1.2.46-3ubuntu1.3 is available for both amd64 and i386, but my amd64 synaptic says only 1.2.46-3ubuntu1 is the latest?
[01:19] <L3top> Just try to keep responses to a single line if possible... when it is busy it makes it a pain to backscroll several pages for a single users request... it is just because of the size of the channel
[01:19] <DoctorMonocular> ahh, I see -- sorry about that
[01:19] <floogy> I startzed a ubuntu live-cd. oneiric, how to add irc.spotchat.org to empathy (I'm more used to xchat...)
[01:19] <DoctorMonocular> I get it now, you were giving the bot a command -- I didn't realize it was a bot until a ew lines down 8)
[01:20] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: I am not sure to be honest. I would assume that your evnironment variables were somehow defined in one and not the other
[01:22] <lucian> weird: when rhythmbox is on, if i type head anywhere, i hear a loud beep in my headphones
[01:22] <DoctorMonocular> yeah, that somehow is what I need to know about -- where are those settings stored?
[01:23] <floogy> Ah, I found accounts...
[01:23] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: env
[01:25] <DoctorMonocular> L#top, is that a folder somewhere or?
[01:25] <L3top> That will tell you your environment variables... my hack would be to env > rubyterm       and env > normterm    in the same directory in both  terminals, then diff rubyterm normterm
[01:25] <L3top> that will at least tell you if you are barking up the right tree
[01:27] <L3top> they are not stored as such, they are defined... however you can force their definition IF indeed there is a disparity
[01:27] <DoctorMonocular> are those all commands I can actually run? env > normterm outputs to a file called normterm?
[01:27] <L3top> correct
[01:27] <DoctorMonocular> ok, yay linux (powerful and awesome in many ways... not so discoverable)
[01:29] <Auriga> DoctorMonocular, Not so discoverable?
[01:29] <DoctorMonocular> Auriga, "discoverable" is a term we use in user interface design
[01:29] <DoctorMonocular> it's a measure of how well a new user who is not familiar with the system can "discover" how to use it just by poking it or looking at it
[01:30] <Auriga> DoctorMonocular, I hear you, I thought you meant just generally...
[01:30] <Auriga> DoctorMonocular, I was really just picking up half a conversation...
[01:30] <DoctorMonocular> I'm sure they are easy to look up and even examine if you have a certain level of knowledge, but it's that terrible, murky beginning that's rough 8)
[01:31] <DoctorMonocular> ok l3top, there is definitely a difference between the envs
[01:31] <DoctorMonocular> but what do I do about it?
[01:32] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: > is a redirect. >> is a redirect append. you can redirect standard out, error out, standard in to anything. you can also do the reverse < and redirect  in.  You should hang out in #bash  to learn a lot about the power of this fully operational battle station...
[01:32] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: can you please pastebin that diff?
[01:32] <L3top> !pastebin | DoctorMonocular
[01:33] <DoctorMonocular> L3top, yeah the system is clearly very powerful, how you can chain input and output and run the scripts from anywhere
[01:34] <Auriga> DoctorMonocular, Windows could be indepth too, it just depends upon how much you wish to learn.
[01:34] <DoctorMonocular> http://paste.ubuntu.com/996686/
[01:34] <DoctorMonocular> btw, I'm proud of myself for putting 2 and 2 together and >'ing to diffterm to paste that 8)
[01:35]  * L3top really enjoys people learning to USE linux rather than just asking for blind cut and paste commands
[01:36] <oneseventeen> so I removed myself from the sudoers file accidentally, and I'm the only user account.
[01:37] <oneseventeen> thoughts?
[01:37] <newbchessplayer> is there a way to display useful information in a screensaver such as time and weather?
[01:37] <DoctorMonocular> L#top, I'm definitely in that camp -- when I go looking for help (which is often), I'm frustrated when someone provides an esoteric command with no explanation
[01:37] <wolfcore> newbchessplayer: conky
[01:38] <newbchessplayer> conky is a screensaver?
[01:38] <L3top> !conky
[01:38] <L3top> doh.
[01:38] <wolfcore> newbchessplayer: it can be overlayed on top
[01:38] <newbchessplayer> and bounce around?
[01:38] <L3top> I am not aware of conky being a ss... but that is cool
[01:39] <wolfcore> newbchessplayer: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39906
[01:39] <wolfcore> it's NOT a screensaver, but you can have transparency so that it is on top but the screensaver is visible
[01:40] <newbchessplayer> that  kind of defeats one of the primary purposes of a screensaver
[01:40] <newbchessplayer> thanks
[01:40] <wolfcore> ugh
[01:41] <tynach> Hello. I'm wanting to make a custom launcher on my desktop for Minecraft, but I don't know how to do it in Unity in Ubuntu 12.04. Anyone know how? I don't feel like (but can if I must) creating a .desktop file from scratch by hand.
[01:41] <L3top> no it doesnt
[01:41] <L3top> the screen saver is still running, it is still changing pixles... there is a composit overlay, which changes based on the movement behind it
[01:42] <L3top> it is no different than bubbles over your DT... ty wolfcore.
[01:42] <newbchessplayer> L3top, yes but dont certain pixels always stay lit?
[01:42] <wolfcore> newbchessplayer: stay lit?
[01:42] <L3top> newbchessplayer: they change color based on the background
[01:42] <newbchessplayer> ah
[01:42] <L3top> there is no burn in
[01:42] <wolfcore> it's called transparency for a reason
[01:42] <wolfcore> its _transparent_
[01:43] <trism> tynach: if you have gnome-panel installed you can: gnome-desktop-item-edit /path/to/launcher.desktop; then drag that to the launcher
[01:44] <tynach> trism, I don't have gnome-panel installed. I don't really want to have Gnome 3 installed any more than I have to to let Unity work.
[01:44] <L3top> sorry ok DoctorMonocular, clearly something you did set those paths. Those paths will need to be set each time you want to do what you are doing... those need to either  be defined at startup, which means they will only work on your machine, or defined in the code, or a primer. This is not my area but easily googled if nobody pipes up.
[01:44] <trism> tynach: then you are probably editing the desktop by hand
[01:44] <wolfcore> L3top: what problem does DoctorMonocular have?
[01:45] <L3top> he did something which set env vars which make his ruby code work in a term, but a new term these vars are not set
[01:45] <L3top> here is a diff http://paste.ubuntu.com/996686/
[01:45] <tynach> trism, why can't Unity/Gnome 3 have what KDE and even previous Gnomes had? Right-click a panel or desktop, click "Create launcher", and type in the path to the executable, the name, and change the icon in a nice GUI window?
[01:45] <L3top> that is an env diff wolfcore
[01:46] <wolfcore> L3top: all he has to do is stick that new defined path in ~/.bash_profile
[01:46] <L3top> but then wont the code ONLY work on his box wolfcore?
[01:46] <tynach> Meh, I'll install gnome-panel.
[01:47] <newbchessplayer> L3top, how do you make it transparent to the screensaver but "always behind" any windows while you're actually on the computer?
[01:47] <wolfcore> L3top: so does he want this to work elsewhere?
[01:47] <wolfcore> newbchessplayer: google it
[01:47] <L3top> I don't know to be honest wolfcore... I just assumed.
[01:48] <wolfcore> L3top: PATH aren't made to work universally...
[01:48] <wolfcore> s/PATH aren't/the PATH variable isn't
[01:48] <L3top> True...
[01:48] <DoctorMonocular> L3top, the code should work independently assuming ruby and rails et al is installed and runable on the given machine
[01:48] <aendruk> I've heard rumors of problems with Ubuntu's repositories being slow and causing trouble with the installation process over the last day or so. Anyone know more about it?
[01:49] <DoctorMonocular> ok, so what I need to do is go into my .bash_profile
[01:49] <L3top> DoctorMonocular: check with #ruby at this point.
[01:49] <DoctorMonocular> and add what exactly? there are lots of changes in that diff
[01:50] <tynach> trism, oh! That command does open up a little GUI window :D Though I still have to type in the command. Ah well, this is good for now.
[01:50] <tynach> Thanks!
[01:50] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: figure out what PATH, etc you want and export them in .bash_profile
[01:50] <DoctorMonocular> is it a problem if that bash_profile file doesn't exist right now?
[01:50] <DoctorMonocular> ~/.bash_profile didn't exist before I just created it
[01:51] <sirdeiu> tynach: you could also  just copy and modify a .desktop entry file from /usr/share/applications,  where they are kept.
[01:53] <L3top> wolfcore: .bash_profile or .bashrc?
[01:53] <tynach> sirdeiu, that's what I did originally. But they all have a lot of Gnome-specific things in the .desktop file that I didn't know what to do with, and I didn't want any of that in mine.
[01:53] <wolfcore> L3top: PATH goes in .bash_profile, only needs to be sourced on user login
[01:53] <L3top> ty wolfcore
[01:53] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: that's fine
[01:54] <L3top> We are all learning DoctorMonocular :)
[01:55] <sirdeiu> tynach: depending on what you want your launcher to do, you'll need more or less some entries. Type, Name, Exec, Path, Icon are the basic needed one(s).
[01:55] <Guest54242> My canonical download speed used to be over 2mbps, but in the last day or so it seems to be capped at 15kbs. Anyone have any advice for fixing this? (Other networks still work just as fast as they used to, just canonical is slow).
[01:56] <tynach> sirdeiu, I gathered, but what about things like... *checks* "X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general"
[01:56] <veinos> yah me too guest!
[01:56] <veinos> grossly slow speed :O
[01:56] <Guest54242> veinos, I wonder if it is a global problem :-/
[01:56] <RupertPupkin> Is it that slow even over Torrent?
[01:56] <sirdeiu> tynach: you don't need that to launch Minecraft :)
[01:57] <veinos> it felt faster just about 20min ago, but not sure, I just let it run in background
[01:57] <veinos> anyway, got to go, gl
[01:58] <tynach> sirdeiu, I know, but there's like... 20 different lines like that, and there are several that contain 'gedit' as the value, making me unsure which one's actually the one to edit for launching. Basically, I like to have a new one created so I know everything I need is in there, and not more. I need to learn to write them by hand.
[01:59] <Guest54242> RupertPupkin: update manage stuff is over torrent? I haven't used any torrents since the install other than what might happen with the default software. But all connected that are "canonical.com" based are avgeraging 15kbs only. It says it is http, so my guess is that is not torrent? Any advice for trying to improve the canonical connection speed?
[01:59] <sirdeiu> tynach: like I said, Type, Name, Icon, Exec, Path are what you need.
[01:59] <RupertPupkin> Guest54242, Sorry, I thought you meant trying to download the .iso file.  Canonical's mirrors occasionally become very slow for me too.
[02:00] <DoctorMonocular> ok wolfcore, I'm having some trouble here -- I'm looking at the diff, and trying to figure out what my bash_profile file should look like -- can you tell me about the syntax I need to use to get it working? and do I need to include all the information that was missing in the non working terminal? Things like GEM_HOME, pvm_path, PATH, GEM_PATH?
[02:00] <tynach> sirdeiu, what about the fact that the generated one from that command, does not have a 'path' in it?
[02:00] <sirdeiu> tynach: of those Exec=/path/to/minecraft/launch, path=/path/to/minecraft, Icon=/path/to/minecraft.png or copy minecraft.png to ~/.icons and specify Icon=minecraft.png only and Name=Minecraft
[02:00] <L3top> Guest54242: there have been a lot of complaints about this. I do not experience it because I use mirrors.
[02:01] <sirdeiu> tynach: what command ?
[02:01] <Guest54242> L3top, please explain or provide a link so I can either set it up as well or at least read about how it works?
[02:01] <tynach> The one trism provided.
[02:01] <tynach> gnome-desktop-item-edit
[02:02] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: should look like so (an example): 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin'
[02:02] <sirdeiu> tynach: see here http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/  .desktop entry specification and http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apa.html
[02:02] <sirdeiu> example file
[02:02] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: not sure if you have to export all of the other variables, you can either do that, or add them one by one and see if they're needed
[02:02] <L3top> Guest54242: its a bit brilliant... and works globally. deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt  $DISTRO main restricted universe multiverse for instance...
[02:02] <stal> h
[02:02] <L3top> Guest54242: I will find a link
[02:02] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: you probable do need these other vars too though
[02:03] <Guest54242> l3top, thanks!
[02:03] <DoctorMonocular> ok wolfcore, will try to add them with the syntax you mentioned then paste it in before I move on
[02:03] <tynach> sirdeiu, why is it that in mine, it duplicates some lines like: "Name[en_US]=Minecraft", and one without the [en_US]? Can I safely delete the duplicates?
[02:04] <T_A_N_K> windows rulez
[02:04] <sirdeiu> tynach: yes, Name[en_US] or Name[de_DE] are just localized to different languages.
[02:04] <sirdeiu> tynach:  you can use only Name=
[02:05] <sirdeiu> tynach: that is if you are using English as your language.
[02:05] <tynach> sirdeiu, I am. Deleted the [en_US] ones.
[02:05] <wolfcore> tynach: the others are locale-specific, iirc
[02:06] <DoctorMonocular> http://paste.ubuntu.com/996707/
[02:06] <DoctorMonocular> what do you think of that for the content of the file?
[02:06] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: you only need to export once
[02:06] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: you are overwriting the previous variable
[02:06] <DoctorMonocular> so, at the top, maybe on its own line?
[02:07] <DoctorMonocular> also, I'm confused because PATH is listed twice and like you said, overwrites the previous value
[02:07] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: you need export PATH=$PATH:<your custom path/s>
[02:07] <DoctorMonocular> not even considering what it was before the file ran
[02:08] <DoctorMonocular> would it hurt anything to have the same path listed twice in that variable?
[02:08] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: you need to define PATH to be PATH plus your own extra paths
[02:08] <lfitz> hi, how would i establish connectivity between two laptops via a crossover cable?
[02:09] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: so export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/gems/:/another/path
[02:09] <DoctorMonocular> yup, I get it
[02:09] <DoctorMonocular> http://paste.ubuntu.com/996711/
[02:10] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: you can replace /home/pete with $HOME
[02:10] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: anyways, now you can source the file with `. ~/.bash_profile`
[02:11] <DoctorMonocular> http://paste.ubuntu.com/996714/  - look legit now?
[02:12] <sirdeiu> tynach: here's an interesting one: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/add-application-shortcuts-to-your-desktop-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
[02:13] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: directories such as /usr/local/sbin should be part of your path by default. Check if they are with `echo $PATH`. The directories listed can be removed because they are already part of the PATH
[02:15] <DoctorMonocular> yeah, I figured that was why the variable was defined with a prepended $PATH:
[02:15] <wolfcore> yes
[02:15] <DoctorMonocular> and that's why I was asking if defining the path twice would hurt anything
[02:15] <DoctorMonocular> but I'll remove it in the file
[02:16] <mjbrooks> I hate it when the installer grabs updates at a trickle :(
[02:18] <tynach> sirdeiu, that's actually how I messed with gedit's originally. I already knew about that. But I wanted a custom one for Minecraft.
[02:18] <tynach> Anyway, playing Minecraft now. See 'yall.
[02:19] <DoctorMonocular> ok wolfcore, I saved it, I sourced it - do I need to restart my terminal or anything?
[02:19] <krnl> hi i updated ubuntu to 12.04 and it cant find hosts, but resolv.conf is set properly. do you have any idea?
[02:20] <DoctorMonocular> ok, I opened a new terminal window
[02:21] <DoctorMonocular> which I think should've gotten the new stuff? And none of the stuff from that file are in env
[02:23] <mjbrooks> anyone know if the US ubuntu server is under load? My install updates are measured in B/s :(
[02:23] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: after sourcing, the new PATH should work in that term
[02:24] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: log out and log back in
[02:24] <elkng> gnome is native GUI for ubuntu ?
[02:24] <wolfcore> elkng: you mean DE?
[02:25] <DoctorMonocular> ok, so when I source in the new window it loads the stuff
[02:25] <flowerpot> elkng, I don't think there is a "native" GUI for Ubuntu, but Gnome is the default
[02:25] <elkng> yes
[02:25] <DoctorMonocular> so I';m guessing thsat if I log out and back in
[02:25] <flowerpot> there are other versions out there
[02:25] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: yes, because opening a new window doesn't source you bash_profile
[02:25] <elkng> initially the first DE for ubuntu was gnome ?
[02:25] <DoctorMonocular> it'll work withgout me manually sourcing it everytime. But it's still not quite working
[02:25] <DoctorMonocular> the env is set with the new vars
[02:25] <flowerpot> mjbrooks, I noticed that last night, too, not sure
[02:25] <DoctorMonocular> and when I do ruby -v it's finding the correct one
[02:25] <DoctorMonocular> but rails fails
[02:26] <wolfcore> :(
[02:26] <DoctorMonocular> (sorry, splitting my lines up again, old habits)
[02:26] <mjbrooks> flowerpot: thanks, I was just wondering if it was just me ;)
[02:26] <DoctorMonocular> pete@pete-MS-7522:~/tguard$ ruby -v
[02:26] <DoctorMonocular> ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-linux]
[02:26] <DoctorMonocular> pete@pete-MS-7522:~/tguard$ rails c
[02:26] <DoctorMonocular> bash: /usr/local/bin/rails: /usr/bin/ruby1.8: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
[02:26] <DoctorMonocular> er, sorry about that, though that would be one line
[02:27]  * mjbrooks loads his dopeslapper
[02:27] <DoctorMonocular> it seems like it';s still looking for ruby1.8 even though that's not installed at all, and certainly not under rvm
[02:28] <L3top> That looks like your code is making the call not the environment... to me... DoctorMonocular.
[02:28] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: is there a space in your PATH by accident?
[02:29] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: between rails: /usr
[02:29] <wolfcore> it seems like bash thinks that those two are one path, because there is a space and so the colon isn't used as a separator, but as part of the path
[02:31] <DoctorMonocular> that's a good point, but it's not in the bash_profile file, it must be getting that somewhere else -- where would it get that path from?
[02:32] <phaedrus44> hey all!
[02:32] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: so neither of the directories from that error exist?
[02:32] <flowerpot> DoctorMonocular, no basis for this, but maybe something updated /etc/environment?
[02:32] <wilberarch> Just upgraded to 12.04.  USB mouse & keyboard not being recognized...
[02:32] <wilberarch> Dr. Google hasn't found any solutions yet...
[02:32] <wilberarch> :-[
[02:32] <wolfcore> wilberarch: tried rebooting?
[02:33] <wilberarch> wolfcore, about 8 times, yes...
[02:33] <DoctorMonocular> usr/local/bin/rails exists, that other, not
[02:33] <wilberarch> no love with or without KVM...  Screen resolution is off, too...
[02:34] <wilberarch> tried replugging after boot, nada...
[02:34] <flowerpot> have you tried unplugging and then plugging back in your keyboard and mouse?
[02:35] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: I think the problem is that rails is trying to use ruby 1.8, which isn't on your system
[02:36] <DoctorMonocular> remember though, everything including rails works perfectly in the term that I used to install rvm and ruby and rails and etc in, but not in any other windows
[02:36] <DoctorMonocular> so somwhow THAT rails knows to use rvm ruby, while the others are trying to look for 1.8
[02:37] <sirdeiu> DoctorMonocular: try running source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm in another terminal then you rails app.
[02:37] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: have you logged out and back in??
[02:37] <DoctorMonocular> good idea, but no change
[02:38] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: ^^
[02:38] <DoctorMonocular> hah, I've been avoiding it because then I'll lose my only working window 8( But ok, back in a sec
[02:40] <DoctorMonocular> ok, I logged out and back in
[02:40] <DoctorMonocular> it did not source the bash_profile
[02:40] <DoctorMonocular> if I do ruby -v before sourcing
[02:41] <DoctorMonocular> it says NOPE, but if I source, it reports 1.9.3 -- rails still won't run though
[02:41] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: so the problem now is that bash_profile is not being sourced by new terms?
[02:41] <DoctorMonocular> yessir
[02:41] <wolfcore> did you _actually_ log out?
[02:42] <wolfcore> as in, had to reenter your password, etc
[02:42] <DoctorMonocular> yes, I did
[02:43] <DoctorMonocular> I logged out, it shut all my programs down
[02:43] <wolfcore> hm, thinking
[02:43] <DoctorMonocular> I had to put my password back in
[02:45] <Mylesmadness> are the ubuntu repos slow for everyone?
[02:45] <DoctorMonocular> they are fine for me, but someone else was in here talking about them being slow right now, so I guess so
[02:46] <root_> what is the command i use in the terminal to bring up startup manager?
[02:46] <DoctorMonocular> wolfcore, it's supposed to be '~/.bash_profile' right?
[02:46] <wolfcore> DoctorMonocular: yeah
[02:46] <root_> to bring back the gnome fallback panel
[02:47] <DoctorMonocular> ok, that's right, I was just double checking
[02:47] <wilberarch> Anyone experience the "USB keyboard & mouse not recognized following upgrade to 12.04" issue...?
[02:48] <DoctorMonocular> wilberarch, 12.04 bricked my whole system, I had to wipe and install 11.10 again
[02:48] <wilberarch> DoctorMonocular, yikes.  swell....
[02:48] <holocronweaver> Sorry if this has already been asked, but anyone else in the U.S. experiencing really slow Ubuntu software server speeds?  Even apt-get update is wretchedly slow for me on all my machines.
[02:49] <Mylesmadness> I'm having issues
[02:49] <wilberarch> DoctorMonocular, so much for "Wonder what 12.04 is like?  Maybe I'll upgrade and see..."
[02:49] <Mylesmadness> from multiple location in the US
[02:50] <remlabm> having an issue where nvidia card is only displaying low resolutions, i went into additional hardware and the Nvidia drivers i suually use say "they are broken". any ideas how to fix?
[02:51] <holocronweaver> Mylesmadness, thanks.  I am in the middle of setting up my Ubuntu server and need to download about 300 MB of software, not to mention sys updates.  I guess it will have to wait for tomorrow unless I can find a decent mirror. :-/
[02:51] <DoctorMonocular> ok guys, wolfcore and L3top, I REALLY appreciate all your help and advice, I wouldn't have made it this far without you, but I've been at it all day and it's getting late, so I'm going to go wind down with the woman and take a crack at it tomorrow. Maybe I'll see you here 8)
[02:52] <DoctorMonocular> Thanks again, for EVERYTHING
[02:52] <DoctorMonocular> you guys rock my face off
[02:52] <plustax> hey guys I have a rather dumb and noobish question for you.
[02:53] <L3top> Night!
[02:53] <plustax> I have an asus x54c laptop and I just bought 4gigs stick of memory for it. Seemed to click in nicely but I boot up and its still showing only 4 instead of the 8
[02:53] <plustax> Any ideas?
[02:54] <RupertPupkin> plustax, If you're running a 32-bit kernel, then only up to 4GB maybe supported.  You need a 64 bit machine to experience more than that.
[02:54] <plustax> I asked this in the wrong place im running win7
[02:54] <plustax> but it IS a 64 bit system
[02:54] <bazhang> plustax, ##windows
[02:55] <plustax> yep im in there
[02:55] <plustax> wrong window, sorry. But if you have any ideas, feel free to help haha
[02:55] <bazhang> plustax, so dont ask here, its not supported
[02:55] <plustax> It was an accident, white knight.

[03:09] <GINGERNIPS> but i also have windows running
[03:10] <GINGERNIPS> can i delete the partitions while installing the 12.04?
[03:10] <ZenGuy311> GINGERNIPS:  do you want to wipe the 11.04 install?
[03:10] <ZenGuy311> yes you can wipe the entire disk to install 12.04 .. be sue to backup to an external drive though
[03:11] <GINGERNIPS> well ZenGuy311 i dont wanna get rid of my windows
[03:11] <GINGERNIPS> and i dont have the windows key anymore
[03:11] <GINGERNIPS> so
[03:11] <GINGERNIPS> thats not an option
[03:12] <Hetep> hola, am needing help with the 12.04 upgrade. am getting an error for mismatched size
[03:12] <ZenGuy311> GINGERNIPS:  you can delete the 11.04 partition but you'll have to be sure that that you have the correct partition selected for deletion
[03:13] <sabrehagen> hi, i'm trying to install some themes, but I don't know which are compatible with Ubuntu 12.04. Can somebody tell me if I can use this theme with a stock installation of 12.04? http://customize.org/gtk/themes/57358
[03:13] <GINGERNIPS> yeah ZenGuy311 thats what im doing right now
[03:13] <porwah> hello... anyone out there able to help with a mounting a Windows share?
[03:14] <sabrehagen> porwah: is it ntfs?
[03:14] <porwah> yes
[03:14] <porwah> I can get readonly access
[03:14] <porwah> can't write to it for some reason
[03:14] <porwah> I'm just using mount
[03:14] <sabrehagen> porwah: i can give you my fstab mount line, but i can't explain it to you. i'm no expert...
[03:14] <GINGERNIPS> ZenGuy311 it says no root file system is defined
[03:14] <porwah> not editing fstab or anything
[03:14] <ZenGuy311> GINGERNIPS:  ok  you can delete the install 12.04 over 11.04 while retaining the windows partition for dual boot
[03:15] <GINGERNIPS> how
[03:15] <ZenGuy311> GINGERNIPS:  are you as the custom disk partition setting?
[03:15] <sabrehagen> porwah: sorry, no can do then...
[03:15] <GINGERNIPS> yeah
[03:16] <ZenGuy311> GINGERNIPS:  you're suppose to put " / " as the root partition .. pleaae be sure windows is not selected
[03:16] <GINGERNIPS> yeah ZenGuy311
[03:16] <sabrehagen> porwah: i'd recommend this page though: http://customize.org/gtk/themes/57358
[03:16] <porwah> thanks sabrehagen
[03:16] <sabrehagen> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[03:16] <sabrehagen> that page, not the one before :P
[03:16] <GINGERNIPS> what do you mean ZenGuy311?
[03:16] <porwah> ha
[03:16] <Hetep> can a person help with a 12.04 upgrade from 11.10? am getting a size mismatch error during the upgrade process
[03:17] <ZenGuy311> GINGERNIPS:  file system is suppose to be ext4
[03:17] <porwah> sabrehagen: thanks!
[03:17] <porwah> looks like a great page
[03:17] <porwah> I was following instructions on a few other pages.
[03:17] <porwah> Looks really straightfoward
[03:18] <GINGERNIPS> ZenGuy311 is there any type of guide for this? or something
[03:18] <Psi-Jack> Anyone, other than myself, that uses Google Chrome with Java that's had any issues with Java causing Chrome to crash since the recent update in 12.04?
[03:18] <sabrehagen> porwah: yep, the ubuntu documentation is pretty straight forward and covers all your options
[03:18] <GINGERNIPS> oh ZenGuy311 i see what youre saying but how do i edit it

[03:21] <mjbrooks> 2 hours reamining to install... wow, color me unimpressed
[03:22] <taqui> Hi
[03:22] <ZenGuy311> mjbrooks:  sounds like you're upgrading
[03:22] <taqui> hello any body is heree
[03:22] <ZenGuy311> taqui:  what's up
[03:23] <taqui> just chilling
[03:23] <taqui> any good pointers for programming
[03:23] <mjbrooks> ZenGuy311: I'm atually installing 100% fresh and I tole it not to download the latest updates during the install (figured I'd do those froma  faster mirroer later)
[03:24] <mjbrooks> s/tole/told/
[03:24] <ZenGuy311> i'm not a programmer but http://www.codeacademy.com seems to the rave these days
[03:25] <mjbrooks> taqui: it also all depends on what you are programming
[03:25] <ZenGuy311> mjbrooks:  whats your system specs?
[03:25] <mjbrooks> ZenGuy311: i7 12G of RAM... it's a fast beast
[03:26] <taqui> dual core 3g of ram
[03:26] <mjbrooks> ZenGuy311: for whatever reason, my download from the US ubuntu server is a trickle
[03:26] <ZenGuy311> mjbrooks:  damn thats fast! i'm using a netbook right now and the most powerful desktop i have has a cpu that is 5 years old
[03:26] <aed> mjbrooks, try the torrent
[03:27] <mjbrooks> aed: ummm, this is the actual installation
[03:27] <aed> oh
[03:27] <mjbrooks> heh
[03:27] <taqui> Sorry with boring msgs, I like to program something innovative
[03:27] <T_A_N_K> wub wub wub
[03:27] <mjbrooks> Downloading Language pasks at 17.7 KB/s   yay
[03:28] <mjbrooks> taqui: in what language?
[03:28] <GINGERNIPS> ZenGuy311 can i just install 12.04 along 11.04 than go back and just delete the partions for 12
[03:28] <taqui> .net, java, php
[03:29] <GINGERNIPS> so that way i dont have to fuck with my windows cd and all that
[03:29] <ZenGuy311> GINGERNIPS:  if you have enough free unallocated space you can install 12.04 and do that
[03:31] <GINGERNIPS> well i cant edit these partions for some reason
[03:31] <GINGERNIPS> under the advance menu
[03:31] <mjbrooks> taqui: you probably won't get much advice on .net here ;) My suggestion for java is to avoid it, turns out Oracle wants to own it all and force you to pay them a license... at least that's the feeling I get
[03:32] <bazhang> taqui use alis to search for a channel and ask there
[03:32] <bazhang> !alis | taqui
[03:32] <reflexrg> if I install ubuntu with encrypted home which is separate partition and then next release comes out can I install ubuntu and still be able to access my home partition again as encrypted?
[03:32] <bazhang> GINGERNIPS, no cursing here
[03:32] <reflexrg> same password
[03:33] <bazhang> GINGERNIPS, your partitions are mounted?
[03:33] <taqui> Thanks all
[03:33] <GINGERNIPS> i guess?
[03:33] <bazhang> GINGERNIPS, so you cannot edit them. boot from a livecd if you wish to do that sort of thing
[03:34] <GINGERNIPS> well im just gunna set the 12.04 to 4.5 gigs
[03:34] <GINGERNIPS> than go back
[03:34] <GINGERNIPS> and delete the 11.04 partitions
[03:34] <GINGERNIPS> so i dont have to mess with the windows cd
[03:34] <bazhang> GINGERNIPS, you still cannot do it on a mounted drive
[03:34] <GINGERNIPS> why not
[03:34] <mjbrooks> because you can't
[03:34] <bazhang> GINGERNIPS, dont use the enter key every two words
[03:35] <GINGERNIPS> well, how do i fix it?
[03:35] <bazhang> GINGERNIPS, I told you already
[03:35] <GINGERNIPS> i dont have a windows cd tho
[03:36] <bazhang> GINGERNIPS, you're not listening
[03:36] <GINGERNIPS> i just dont understand lol
[03:36] <GINGERNIPS> could you link me to something i could read?
[03:37] <bazhang> GINGERNIPS, you wish to delete a partition that you have mounted and possibly in use.
[03:38] <bazhang> GINGERNIPS, think about why that is not going to work.  USE a live cd to do any sort of operation like that
[03:38] <GINGERNIPS> isnt the usb the same as a live cd?
[03:38] <OerHeks> sure
[03:38] <GINGERNIPS> thats what im using
[03:40] <mjbrooks> GINGERNIPS: are you trying to resize the partions on the usb that you are using?
[03:40] <CuriousCat> i have a gaming mouse, i use xinput to set velocity scaling=1.0; what is the best way to do this automatically everytime i boot
[03:41] <Igmu_> Can I get help installing Edubuntu 12.04 from USB? Bootloader starts Edubuntu from USB, but it can't find image. It's looking in /cdrom but no image exists. How can I change it to see the image on USB?
[03:41] <GINGERNIPS> i got it figured out mjbrooks
[03:42] <CuriousCat> where does ubuntu 12.04 get the default xinput values from?
[03:44] <CuriousCat> .xsession.rc?
[03:44] <genii-around> maybe  /etc/X11/XF86Config
[03:44] <taqui> hey guys help me to join a group after searching it
[03:45] <mjbrooks> If I tell the installer not to download updates during the initial installation it shouldn't download a bunch of libreoffice packages... grrr
[03:45] <mjbrooks> taqui: if the name of the group is #foo, just type '/j #foo' (without the quotes)
[03:46] <taqui> mjbrooks: thank you very much
[03:48] <ghostconn> i witnessed someone today running ubuntu 12:04 with a animated wallpaper background, I'm just currious how is this possible ? anyone have an idea?
[03:49] <tamir> ?help
[03:50] <genii-around> ghostconn: Conceivably with an animated gif
[03:50] <ghostconn> so ubuntu will let me add any gif as a background image?
[03:51] <ghostconn> thats awesome lol
[03:52] <MaisonNotarathed> what is the way to manually update via the terminal?
[03:53] <LordOfTime> MaisonNotarathed:  sudo apt-get update
[03:53] <LordOfTime> MaisonNotarathed:  and then sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:53] <MaisonNotarathed> gracias LOT
[03:53] <zykotick9> MaisonNotarathed: if you want to update everything (ie. full-upgrade) "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
[03:54] <Igmu_> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, I think
[03:54] <wendico> hello, is there a software in the repository to record a part of my screen to make a tutorial?
[03:54] <MaisonNotarathed> what does a apt-get update distinctly accomplish?
[03:54] <Igmu_> then sudo apt-get update
[03:54] <Igmu_> then sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:55] <zykotick9> MaisonNotarathed: updates your local apt database
[03:55] <Logan_> MaisonNotarathed: It updates your local package lists from the repositories in your sources.list.
[03:55] <MaisonNotarathed> wendico, push the prt scrn button
[03:55] <Igmu_> then sudo apt-get update reloads from repositories
[03:55] <wendico> hehe, yes but id like to make a video of multiple steps
[03:55] <wylde> !find screencast | wendico
[03:55] <MaisonNotarathed> aha. there were repository problems am fairly certain. getting errors from Synaptic
[03:56] <wendico> ty
[03:56] <wylde> wendico: or you could 'apt-cache search screencast'
[03:56] <wylde> :)
[03:58] <clock_cycles> What font do I need for fidelity.com?
[03:59] <Logan_> clock_cycles: Where specifically?
[03:59] <Logan_> The main body text appears to have the CSS font-family of Arial,Tahoma,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif.
[04:00] <clock_cycles> Logan_: I thought I got the truetype fonts from Ubuntu Software Center.
[04:01] <Logan_> Are you not getting any text at all?
[04:02] <clock_cycles> Logan_: I looks fine, but the research tab wraps around.
[04:02] <Logan_> Which browser?
[04:02] <clock_cycles> Logan_: Firefox
[04:02] <Logan_> Looks fine to me in Chromium.
[04:02] <Logan_> Not happening for me in Firefox either.
[04:03] <digitalj> is the ubuntu us repos download extremely slow for anything else?
[04:03] <clock_cycles> Logan_: I was on Debian and I had to get some fonts.  Now with Ubuntu, it's not fixed.
[04:03] <wendico> there are many softwares to screencast, how nice. would you recomend me one with the most functions to make nice tutorials? (maybe one wich would let me live zoom the screen, add caption test and hyperlinks, live voice recording, automatically saves the result into compresed  video for web...). So i dont need to test them all
[04:03] <Logan_> digitalj: Torrent it.
[04:06] <wylde> wendico: I've never used one. Each package should have some info available about. Some likley even a homepage. I usually start with package homepages to get more info about features and whatnot.
[04:06] <digitalj> Logan_, torrent what?
[04:06] <digitalj> Not the Ubuntu install image, but downloading packages from repos
[04:06] <wendico> thank u for the tip, i will just google the found packages
[04:06] <Logan_> digitalj: Oh, right.
[04:07] <digitalj> I can wget the latest kernel from kernel.org at nearly 3.0MB/s, I'm getting like 20KB/s from the US ubuntu repository
[04:07] <Ted_> hi, I was hoping I could ask what seems like a pretty simple question…  I've successfully created a live USB to boot from on my Intel MacbookPro, but I wanted to find out if there was any way for me to actually install ubuntu on this stick - It's 16 gb, and it's currently formatted FAT using diskutility on my mac.  Every time I've tried, I've gotten various errors - I just want to be able to...
[04:07] <Ted_> ...load the drive using ReFit and boot it as if it was an internal partition, thanks
[04:08] <Ted_> (Tried asking in beginners, because I definitely am, but didn't get any response)
[04:08] <wylde> Ted_: you can install on the media you're booted from.
[04:09] <wylde> can't
[04:09] <mjbrooks> digitalj: yes, it is sloooowwww
[04:09] <Ted_> That's what I thought - however, I've also made a live CD - so if I booted from the CD, would I be able to successfully install on the usb?
[04:09] <GINGERNIPS> ive installed 12.04 and restarted my computer. I already had 11.04 but i just did installed 12.04 along side that and windows vista. I know only have the option to boot to vista and 11.04. I can see the three seperate partitions
[04:09] <wylde> Ted_: yep that should work. Although I can't speak to how well it will work.
[04:10] <wylde> Ted_: Just be VERY careful when partitioning to make sure you have the right media/drive selected.
[04:11] <Ted_> I have everything backed up - I'm pretty much expecting to accidentally format my HD
[04:11] <smw> Ted_, good idea, I did that to myself last week
[04:12] <mjbrooks> digitalj: I had tried starting over and setting a different mirror, but the installer insisted on automatically switching to the us server for the intial install
[04:12] <Bongo> looking for some support :D installed ubuntu from a live USB and it wont boot.
[04:12] <smw> Bongo, won't boot?
[04:12] <Bongo> yeah it just sits at a black screen with the text box blinking in the corner
[04:13] <Ted_> smw_ if I'm installing on a blank USB, what steps should I take once I start the installer from the CD - I know I need to make a 1gb swap partition, but I don't know what format, or how to do that exactly
[04:13] <Bongo> ive tried rebooting from my live usb and that also wont boot
[04:13] <ex0> swap
[04:13] <ex0> is the format
[04:13] <wylde> Ted_: lol, alright. Better to expect the worst than be surprised by it. :)
[04:13] <mjbrooks> Bongo: tried unpluggin the USB and booting without it in?
[04:14] <smw> Ted_, "swap" is a format type
[04:14] <Igmu> I used downloaded program from pendrivelinux.com to load Edubuntu 12.04 on my USB thumb drive. I booted from my USB drive. Edubuntu splash screen loads. I press CTR-ALT-TAB to see details. It says it's looking for files in /cdrom, but it can't find those files. Do I have to change this to something else?
[04:14] <Bongo> yes still doesnt work
[04:14] <Ted_> that makes a great deal more sense
[04:14] <smw> Ted_, you also need a partition for your root (called "/")
[04:14] <smw> Ted_, I suggest you format as ext4
[04:15] <smw> Ted_, and if you want, what I normally do is give 50GB to the root and the rest to /home
[04:15] <Ted_> and how exactly should I do that?  the guide from "https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation" says to use gparted
[04:15] <smw> Ted_, with swap getting twice my ram
[04:15] <smw> Ted_, you are installing on a mac?
[04:16] <Ted_> I'm installing on a usb
[04:16] <Ted_> 16 gb
[04:16] <Ted_> I need to be able to boot it on multiple computers
[04:16] <wendico> im short in ram memory, is it posible to speed up my ubuntu with a usb stick as windows does?
[04:16] <Bongo> anybody help me? installed ubuntu and it wont boot! also wont boot from the live usb anymore either
[04:16] <smw> wendico, adding a usb stick will not speed it up
[04:17] <smw> wendico, not sure how it would speed up windows either...
[04:17] <mjbrooks> i agree smw
[04:18] <digitalj> Fetched 19.2 MB in 16min 0s (20.0 kB/s)
[04:18] <wendico> smw: it dows by swaping small files to the flash instead of ram memory to free it
[04:18] <digitalj> So fricking slow wtf
[04:18] <mjbrooks> digitalj: I'll race you  ;)
[04:18] <smw> wendico, and that would be incredibly slow
[04:18] <Igmu> It looks like many are having the same booting from USB thumb drive problem?
[04:18] <smw> wendico, swapping things to disk makes things slower, not faster
[04:19] <mjbrooks> 901:00 remaing
[04:19] <smw> wendico, swapping to a usb drive would be insanely slow compared to swapping to disk
[04:19] <wendico> smw:we are talking about a full ram enviroment
[04:19] <wendico> smw:i mean, not free ram enviroment
[04:20] <smw> wendico, in that case I would use swap on a hard drive, not usb
[04:20] <Ted_> I'm successfully able to boot from my live usb, but I want to have a full install on the usb so what I do will be saved
[04:20] <smw> wendico, or buy more ram
[04:20] <smw> Ted_, so do it :-)
[04:20] <wendico> smw: lol, BUY is not a solution hehe
[04:21] <smw> wendico, I always keep 2x ram as swap space
[04:21] <smw> wendico, usb swap would be slower than hard drive swap
[04:21] <Ted_> I will now try, and report back when/if I fail. :)
[04:21] <smw> Ted_, make a partition mounted at / that is ext4 and takes up the entire drive
[04:22] <Ted_> that's exactly what I will try to do
[04:22] <smw> Ted_, (a GB of swap is not very useful)
[04:22] <Ted_> thanks so much for all the help everyone
[04:22] <Ted_> oh really?
[04:22] <smw> Ted_, unless you plan to run this on machine with very little ram
[04:22] <Ted_> no, I have 4 gb ram
[04:22] <digitalj> I know a way around this...
[04:22] <smw> Ted_, swap only matters when you run out of ram
[04:23] <wendico> smw: true for the real meaning of "swaping" but not in practise, in some escenarios, swaping to flash can be faster, thats what ReadyBoost is all about. Is there something similar for my ubuntu?
[04:23] <Ted_> I just said 1 gb because that's what the ubuntu website recommended
[04:23] <smw> Ted_, and it reduces the life of your flash drive
[04:23] <Ted_> I see
[04:23] <Ted_> so you're saying no swap necessary?
[04:23] <Ted_> just partition the entire drive at /?
[04:23] <smw> Ted_, not unless your machine has under a GB of ram
[04:23] <smw> Ted_, that is what I would do
[04:23] <Ted_> alright, good to know - thanks so much
[04:24] <smw> Ted_, actually, less than 2GB I would use swap :-)
[04:24] <Ted_> well, either way - I have 4 :)
[04:24] <smw> wendico, you can swap to any disk
[04:25] <smw> wendico, just make a swap partition and swapon
[04:25] <wendico> smw, i see, but that, as you say, will be slower. better swap to hard disk unless i can "smart swap"
[04:25] <shape> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu and Thunderbird won't let me add any accounts. It says: "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account". And the client works on my other computer for my email address. (gmail)
[04:26] <smw> wendico, I have no idea what smart swap is
[04:26] <chip8874> Is anyone using a xfx radeon HD 6790 per chance?
[04:27] <smw> wendico, truthfully, in a total ram used environment, I would just install a light desktop environment and have swap on disk
[04:27] <GINGERNIPS> im trying to set up 12.04 using advance partitioning and i keep getting the error "no root file system is defined"
[04:27] <smw> wendico, I have no idea what smart swapping is
[04:27] <mjbrooks> digitalj: are we racing?
[04:27] <shape> GINGERNIPS, on the partition you want Ubuntu to be on, where it says mount point put the symbol "/"
[04:27] <wendico> smw, yes smw, i will have to give up my ubuntu and install something lighter
[04:27] <smw> GINGERNIPS, one of your partitions must be set to be mounted at /
[04:28] <L3top> !info nvidia-current-updates
[04:28] <digitalj> mjbrooks, no
[04:28] <digitalj> i already won :)
[04:28] <GINGERNIPS> do i need a ext 3 and 4?
[04:28] <wendico> hate to be poor :)
[04:28] <windbuntu> it will default to ext 4 GINGERNIPS
[04:28] <smw> GINGERNIPS, I suggest ext4 for everything
[04:29] <shape> GINGERNIPS, and you will also need a swap partition. So just 2 partitions.
[04:29] <Igmu> Do I change /boot/grub/loopback.cfg Which displays as...
[04:29] <Igmu> menuentry "Try Edubuntu without installing" {
[04:30] <L3top> can someone explain how the info factoid works? because that is inaccurate. 295.49-0ubuntu0.1 0  is apt-cache policy
[04:30] <smw> GINGERNIPS, what I normally do is devote 50GB to /, a couple GB to swap, and the rest to /home ()
[04:30] <smw> GINGERNIPS, that of course may not be possible with how much space you have
[04:30] <Igmu> to something like ... file=/USB/preseed...?
[04:31] <L3top> ikonia? Are you afoot?
[04:31] <GINGERNIPS> i have enough space
[04:31] <GINGERNIPS> i left 3gigs to swap
[04:32] <shape> GINGERNIPS, and it's installing now correct?
[04:32] <GINGERNIPS> yeah
[04:34] <GINGERNIPS> well I already had 11.04 but i just did installed 12.04 along side that and windows vista and i only have the option to boot to vista and 11.04. So now im reinstalling 12.04. I deleted both of first 12.04 partition and the 11.04 parition.
[04:34] <GINGERNIPS> and made the new 12.04 partition with 3g of free space
[04:35] <smw> GINGERNIPS, heh, you are doing the exact same thing I did yesterday
[04:36] <smw> GINGERNIPS, I installed 12.04 on some spare unpartitioned space so I could move over slowly
[04:36] <wylde> woo ban spam :P
[04:36] <smw> GINGERNIPS, before I hate 11.04 (the one before they got rid of gnome 2)
[04:36] <smw> had*
[04:36] <shape> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu, and in Thunderbird, I get the error "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account." - I am doing this for gmail and yahoo. And yet on my other computer Thunderbird finds these automatically. Can anyone please help me?
[04:37] <smw> GINGERNIPS, so now I have 11.04, 12.04, and win7 on my computer :-)
[04:46] <wendico> there is not zoom desktop by default anymore? how to zoom now?
[04:47] <GINGERNIPS> yeah smw 11.04 wasnt that great i legit used it only for one specific thing i wanted to use it all the time but it was just tooooo much effort
[04:48] <GINGERNIPS> i remember it took me like a hour to install my headset, given it was my first time on linux
[04:48] <GINGERNIPS> but still
[04:49] <Darkenvy> I upgraded because at this time I cannot fresh install. I have now been getting freezes a lot. odd freezes. no curser, no TTY and screen freezes but G15 LCD clock and skype continue not frozen
[04:50] <Darkenvy> Where is the log I should be looking for to figure out whats happening?
[04:52] <alusion> Where are tomboy notes saved?
[05:01] <Logan_> digitalj: Oh, jeez, you're right.
[05:01] <Logan_> It's taking forever.
[05:01] <digitalj> I used the GUI for the package manager on my desktop to get the fastest server
[05:01] <digitalj> and changed my /etc/apt/sources.list file
[05:01] <digitalj> now its fixed :)
[05:01] <Logan_> There must be something up with the server.
[05:01] <Logan_> I hope it's not getting DDOSed.
[05:02] <surt> Hi. I'm stuck at boot. lightdm won't start and I get the following errors: "mountall: Plymouth command failed", "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth", then "[sdb] Asking for cache data failed" and "[sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through" every minute.
[05:02] <Ted_> so - I'm back, turns out the install CD I made didn't work - I'm trying to create the CD using apple disk utility.  Every time I try to mount the iso to be burned, I get an error that says "no mountable file systems"
[05:03] <Ted_> it still looks as if it's mounted properly, and burns successfully when selected, but then it doesn't show up in ReFit
[05:03] <Ted_> any thoughts?
[05:08] <flowerpot> apt-get update is downloading at like 20 kB/s.  Is something off with the Canonical servers...?

[05:09] <Ted_> any help on the no mountable file systems error when trying to create a live cd?
[05:10] <flowerpot> surt, thanks

[05:25] <18WAAZFYZ> hello my notebook doesn't turn off after hibernate what should I do?
[05:25] <BlackWeb> surt havent seen that before,, have you tired uninstalling mountall
[05:25] <BlackWeb> is what my first guess would be
[05:25] <___fede____> hola
[05:25] <BlackWeb> I'd remove mountall then try it again
[05:26] <surt> BlackWeb: Sounds like a recipe for disaster...but I guess I have nothing to lose
[05:26] <___fede____> alguien habla spanish
[05:26] <BlackWeb> ya sorry couldn't be of more help
[05:26] <18WAAZFYZ> how can I make ubuntu turn off after a hibernate?
[05:26] <TomatoKetchup> K`zan, when booting from the live cd do you experience that?
[05:26] <ChipreEpicuros> guys? any1? any software i could download to check if all my hardware is functioning correctly?
[05:28] <surt> BlackWeb: Removing mountall would effectively disable the entire system.
[05:28] <diddy> just finished installing ubuntu woot... this sh*z is awesome
[05:28] <__f-e-d-e__> hola
[05:28] <hampsterblade> Ok so ubuntu upfated ealier and now networking is broken. What should i do?
[05:29] <hampsterblade> Sorry for typos typing on my phone
[05:29] <ChipreEpicuros> guys? :)
[05:29] <__f-e-d-e__> phome
[05:29] <hampsterblade> It has to be either due to the update or the iinstallation of wine 1.5
[05:30] <hampsterblade> But I'm at a loss.
[05:30] <K`zan> TomatoKetchup: Yes, the Live CD.
[05:31] <flowerpot> hampsterblade, what errors are you receiving, if any?
[05:32] <hampsterblade> Iy just gives network errors at boot don't know how to view the actual errors
[05:32] <TomatoKetchup> ChipreEpicuros, how much ram do you have?
[05:32] <ChipreEpicuros> 4 gigs
[05:32] <ChipreEpicuros> but it is very weird. it was working fine till the day b4 yesterday
[05:32] <TomatoKetchup> hrm
[05:32] <ChipreEpicuros> no problems what so ever
[05:32] <ChipreEpicuros> haven't installed anything new....
[05:32] <diddy403> quick question, how is the "Ubuntu Software Center" different from Apt-Get ?
[05:33] <hampsterblade> Its just a front end for apt-gey
[05:33] <TomatoKetchup> strange indeed, I'm not sure what could be causing that
[05:33] <diddy403> ok, so I can still do the old "sudo apt-get install xxxx" and it'll work just fine
[05:33] <diddy403> ?
[05:33] <ChipreEpicuros> like right now it did it again. it becomes unresponsive for a few seconds and then comes back to life
[05:34] <ChipreEpicuros> i was wondering. is there something that i could check my h/w with?
[05:34] <Mr__> anyone else getting this when trying to install ubuntustudio audio

[05:34] <diddy403> Chip, do a quick ping -t to google.com or something and watch for packet loss
[05:34] <hampsterblade> I just did on an strace on service networking start anf its giving resource temporarily unavailable
[05:35] <TomatoKetchup> diddy403, his system is freezing, what is pinging google going to do?
[05:35] <TomatoKetchup> unless I am misunderstanding
[05:36] <TomatoKetchup> ChipreEpicuros, what video drives are you using?
[05:36] <ChipreEpicuros> Not a ping related issues.
[05:37] <ChipreEpicuros> i don't really know
[05:37] <TomatoKetchup> well what card do you have in there?
[05:37] <ChipreEpicuros> an nvidia
[05:37] <diddy403> Tomato, sorry I thought he meant his network was freezing and wanted a way to verify... ping would show loss of packets
[05:38] <TomatoKetchup> diddy403, nah, system ;)
[05:38] <TomatoKetchup> ChipreEpicuros, have you activated the proprietary drivers?
[05:38] <hampsterblade> His system is freezing and my network wont connect
[05:39] <ChipreEpicuros> yes.but it blows that my system worked just fine till a couple of days ago

[05:40] <TomatoKetchup> ChipreEpicuros, I mean you could watch the system monitor for when it freezes, see if the cpu is jumping and what process is causing it
[05:40] <szerzetes> I set it tvtime.xml, as V4LDevice
[05:41] <hampsterblade> Sorry abour that
[05:41] <szerzetes> and it say: videoinput: /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 is not a video4linux device.
[05:41] <szerzetes> what do i wrong?
[05:42] <TomatoKetchup> K`zan, ah that's a pretty new card, nvidia driver just added support
[05:43] <hampsterblade> http://sgs4g.mhamptontech.com/networking.strace
[05:43] <hampsterblade> Sorry http://sgs4g.mhamptontech.com/network.strace
[05:43] <TomatoKetchup> K`zan, what driver version are you using?
[05:44] <madura> cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/sda1 is shown when update-initramfs -u, what does it mean?
[05:45] <diddy403> !ldconfig
[05:48] <blackmatrix_ny> Is there anyway I can modify the seahorse app so that it ask for master password whenever someone tries to see passwords in plain format ?
[05:49] <newgod> yes
[05:51] <blackmatrix_ny> or is there a way to disable password from being viewed in plain format on that seahorse app ?
[05:56] <remlabm> can anyone help me with an nvidia issue, i have followed every walk through on the site and i cannot get x11 to start. i keep getting "Screens found, but none have a usable configuration". this is after doing the additional driver installation and removing xorg-xserver-nouveau. any ideas?
[05:57] <jellypod> how do i edit the icon launcher in (or the menus in general) on ubuntu 12.04 using Gnome Classic (gnome-panel)?
[05:57] <jellypod> remlabm: which card?
[05:57] <jasmin12e> Helloo
[05:57] <Darrow> I'm upgrading to 12.04 and the upgrader is stuck on ttf-mscorefonts-installer.  Any way I can skip over an upgrade?
[05:57] <remlabm> 8500gt
[05:57] <jasmin12e> I have a question
[05:58] <jellypod> remlabm: Im having good luck with the bumblebee drivers.
[05:58] <remlabm> which card are you using? and do you have multiple monitors?
[05:58] <jellypod> 610m (optimus)
[05:58] <jellypod> Nvidia 610m (optimus)
[05:59] <jellypod> remlabm: I have not tried multiple monitors yet
[05:59] <jasmin12e> Im trying to reinstall xp back over ubuntu but the bootable disc says it cant be read when I put it in. I even tried to reinstall a older version of ubuntu
[05:59] <jellypod> remlabm: the #bumblebee chan helped me alot.
[06:00] <jellypod> how do i edit the icon launcher in (or the menus in general) on ubuntu 12.04 using Gnome Classic (gnome-panel)?
[06:00] <jellypod> I mean within the application menu.
[06:01] <zizoo> Hello, does anyone know why my computer always crashes when shut down via cron?
[06:01] <jellypod> Application>Accessories>terminal for example, how to I edit the launcher in that menu on ubuntu 12.04 using Gnome Classic?
[06:01] <jellypod> zizoo: dunno
[06:02] <jagginess> jellypod, maybe you can make a launcher on the menu bar, then holt alt+rightclick on the icon
[06:03] <jellypod> jagginess: that does work, but I really prefer to change the launcher.  For example, I end googleearth to start with "optirun googleearth" for it to work.
[06:03] <jellypod> end=need
[06:03] <zizoo> Also, is there any way to set cron to only execute a command at the listed time if it's on? I set it to shut down at specified times, but if I turn it off before and turn it on after, it shuts down immediately. This is annoying.
[06:04] <jellypod> zizoo: I would run a bash script in cron, and the bash script would check if the process is running, and act accordingly
[06:05] <zizoo> Err, you mean have a bash script check the time and shut down if it's the specified time? That's a good idea.
[06:06] <flowerpot> Can anyone else using du 8.13 and Ubuntu 12.04 reproduce this bug? http://pastebin.com/GGhFDjDy
[06:07] <jellypod> zizoo: no, i mean setup the cron for whenever you want. but instead of running the command you want running at that time, run a script that checks if the process is running and then runs your command if it is.
[06:07] <hampsterblade> How can i troubleshoot the network service not starting in 12.04
[06:07] <zizoo> Huh? Are you thinking I mean to shut down a particular process, because I am shutting down the whole computer?
[06:08] <zizoo> Or what process am I meant to be checking for?
[06:08] <zizoo> The command is "sudo shutdown now".
[06:08] <jellypod> sudo poweroff
[06:09] <K`zan> TomatoKetchup: On this 32 bit (u10.10) Nvidia driver: 295.53.
[06:09] <remlabm> jellypod : no go on bumblebee, only shows one monitor as laptop with 1 resolution
[06:09] <zizoo> Oh... is that why it's crashing?
[06:09] <K`zan> TomatoKetchup: NV-CONTROL Version: 1.27
[06:09] <jellypod> remlabm: sorry.
[06:10] <jellypod> zorael: sorry, im unclear on what you want to do.  You want cron to run a command if the computer is turned on?
[06:10] <B4u> /Join #ubuntu
[06:11] <jellypod> zizoo: sorry, im unclear on what you want to do.  You want cron to run a command if the computer is turned on?
[06:13] <zizoo> Yes. I want it to turn off the computer. As it stands, there are two problems. To the crashing you said you didn't know what the problem was.   Someone else here might be able to help.  Im curious what you want to do with cron.
[06:16] <jellypod> In Ubuntu 12.04, using Gome Classic (gnome-panel), how do you change the launcher command of an item in the menu.  For example I want Application>Internet>GoogleEarth to execute
[06:16] <jellypod> In Ubuntu 12.04, using Gome Classic (gnome-panel), how do you change the launcher command of an item in the menu.  For example I want Application>Internet>GoogleEarth to execute "optirun googleearth" instead of googleearth.
[06:17] <jellypod> hampsterblade: I have felt that way all week with ubuntu 12.04
[06:17] <deejay31> Hello
[06:18] <deejay31> Does anyone know of a way to install Ubuntu to a USB stick, so it boots like if it was on a hard drive
[06:18] <kimspindel> use unetbootin
[06:18] <hampsterblade> I just  lost networking and cant figure out why
[06:18] <jellypod> deejay31: are you using windows to make the usb?
[06:18] <hampsterblade> So im pretty pissed atm
[06:18] <deejay31> Will that make it boot like if I normal booted an ubuntu PC
[06:18] <jellypod> deejay31: not by default.
[06:18] <kimspindel> deejay31: yes, it has an option to
[06:18] <deejay31> Yes i am using windows
[06:18] <Darrow> I'm upgrading to 12.04 and the distribution upgrader just froze. What should I do?
[06:18] <jellypod> kimspindel: persistence?
[06:19] <jellypod> is that built in?
[06:19] <kimspindel> huh?
[06:19] <jagginess> deejay31, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[06:19] <deejay31> Thank you
[06:19] <jellypod> are persistent changes built into unetbootin? I thought it just made a live cd.
[06:20] <jellypod> he, I was wrong if it does persistent changes. that use to be harder to do.
[06:20] <kimspindel> oh, i don't even know what persistent changes are, lol
[06:20] <deejay31> Also, I am thinking of changing my Server from CentOS to Ubuntu, is there any significant changes?
[06:20] <jellypod> kimspindel: that means that you make a bootable live usb and it will save the changes that you make when you boot into it.
[06:21] <jagginess> deejay31, there's a server ubuntu edition that supports raid on install (the desktop one doesnt support raid on install)
[06:21] <deejay31> Ok but is there any HUGE differences
[06:21] <jellypod> deejay31: I like it better, the community is stronger imo.  more current applications are ported to ubuntu also, imo.
[06:21] <jagginess> deejay31, huge difference between centos and ubuntu? you should ask in #linux
[06:21] <kimspindel> ah i see. then i'm not sure.
[06:21] <kimspindel> (but i don't think so)
[06:22] <deejay31> Can you get: nginx, webalizer, Apache, Java, Irssi, Cowsay,
[06:22] <shape> Hello, I've installed Ubuntu 3 hours ago and since then Ive been trying to get Thunderbird to work. I keep getting this message: "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account". I've tried both gmail and yahoo with the exact settings that I use on my other computer (which works no problem), and I get the same error. Can someone please help? :(
[06:22] <jellypod> deejay31: yes, definitely
[06:22] <jagginess> deejay31, you said "server". hence I'm thinking you should get a RAID setup..
[06:23] <deejay31> No, I have'nt got the resources/money for RAID
[06:23] <jagginess> deejay31, there's
[06:23] <deejay31> ?
[06:23] <jellypod> deejay31: I also like the apt package manager better than yum.
[06:23] <jagginess> "software raid" (which isnt bad and what i use)
[06:24] <deejay31> What is better than yum then
[06:24] <remlabm> jellypod : did you remove the nouveau drives when using bumblebee?
[06:24] <deejay31> How is it better7
[06:24] <jellypod> remlabm: ahhh..lemme see
[06:24] <jagginess> deejay31, you mean complementary, dpkg has aptitude and synaptic
[06:25] <hampsterblade> Fuuuuck i think im going to have to reinstall im out of ideas
[06:25] <jellypod> remlabm: Ive talk to the bumblebee guys about the dual monitor thing, they said, a day or so ago, they are still working on it with opitimus cards, its not perfect yet.  if you are running optimus, you need to use optirun to open nvidia, btw.
[06:25] <deejay31> Just to check, httpd (On centos) is called Apache2 on Ubuntu?
[06:25] <hampsterblade> Yes
[06:26] <deejay31> And nginx can be installed from source as usual
[06:27] <jellypod> remlabm: I have, bumblebee, libdrm-nouveau1a, libdrm-nouveau1a-dbg, xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and xserver-xor-video-nouveau-dgb
[06:27] <hampsterblade> Now the ubuntu install disk is going into kernel panic wtf
[06:27] <jagginess> deejay31, apt-cache search apache
[06:27] <machiolate> anyone have suggestions for ubuntu freezing/crashes? version 11.10
[06:28] <jellypod> deejay31: it breaks stuff less imo.  also faster.  more repos for ubuntu (imo) that are update more often.
[06:28] <jellypod> debian base systems are all around more stable, imo.
[06:28] <deejay31> Grrr, I am going to have to manually export and then import 20 mySql databases...
[06:28] <jellypod> deejay31: sudo apt-get install synaptic, that is a nice gui to see what you an install.
[06:28] <mjbrooks> hampsterblade: please watch your language
[06:29] <jellypod> In Ubuntu 12.04, using Gome Classic (gnome-panel), how do you change the launcher command of an item in the menu.  For example I  want Application>Internet>GoogleEarth to execute "optirun googleearth" instead of googleearth.
[06:29] <jellypod> gome=gnome*
[06:30] <madsailor> Hi all.  How can I change the default login background for 12.04 LTS?  Googling brings up Ubuntu Tweak , but I want to use something in the repos/use the terminal
[06:30] <jellypod> madsailor: I use ubuntu tweak to do that.
[06:30] <jagginess> jellypod, try to use synaptic or something to get the menu editor..
[06:30] <jellypod> there is a ppa for ubuntu tweak, to apt-get install ubuntu-tweak.
[06:30] <jellypod> jagginess: ok
[06:30] <deejay31> CAn you get iftop on ubuntu
[06:30] <jellypod> looking
[06:31] <jellypod> deejay31: yes
[06:31] <deejay31> Good thank you
[06:31] <jellypod> deejay31: tons of apps, any apt I can think of in Centos is in ubuntu, or some ubuntu ppa, and there is also so much more.
[06:32] <deejay31> jellypod: OK thans a relief :)
[06:32] <madsailor> jellypod, do you know of a solution in the main repos?
[06:33] <jellypod> madsailor: mmm, no
[06:33] <madsailor> ok, thanks
[06:34] <jellypod> madsailor: looking
[06:36] <jellypod> madsailor: you using unity?
[06:36] <deejay31> is the apache config file the same in ubuntu as it is in centos?
[06:36] <madsailor> jellypod, yes
[06:37] <jellypod> I thought it was unity-greeter.conf, but im looking for that.
[06:38] <Qalqi> i am courageous enough to login simultaneously with same user profile
[06:38] <deejay31>  is the apache config file the same in ubuntu as it is in centos?
[06:42] <jellypod> madsailor: yep, I don't know.  I do not normally use unity. Someone else in here might know..  Sorry.
[06:43] <flowerpot> What handles the detection and auto-mounting of USB drives in Ubuntu?
[06:43] <deejay31> Do all the same apache modules work on Ubuntu as they would on Centos
[06:43] <madsailor> jellypod, ok.  Thanks for taking a look.
[06:45] <jellypod> does anyone know the name of the application, so that I can launch for terminal, to open the Lock and Brightness gui in System Settings?
[06:48] <q0_0p> jellypod: you can set brightness with xbacklight
[06:48] <zizoo> Sorry, my xchat glitched for a bit there. I was wondering why no one said anything for a half hour. Thanks jellypod, I was just setting my computer to shutdown every evening at 1 AM. My sense of time is somewhat lacking, so rather than have an alarm tell me to get off, I decided to punish myself any time I fail to get off by 1, by losing all data in active programs. It's been working, but the problems with cron are annoying.
[06:49] <zizoo> Does anyone else know why my computer would crash consistently during shutdowns initiated by cron? =/
[06:49] <q0_0p> jellypod: you could set the brightness here /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0
[06:53] <deejay31> I am now leaving, and when I rejoin, I will have Ubuntu set up and running on my server
[06:56] <jellypod> answer to my first question: open terminal and run alacarte to edit menus \o/
[06:57] <jellypod> q0_0p: I will look at the dimming brightness, but I would like to make a launcher to open that app
[06:57] <jellypod> or just gnome the name of the app
[06:57] <jellypod> alacarte edits your menus in gnome classic, woohoo
[06:58] <_ProtekNickz> Hi all, Simple questio?, Is it ok to install this theme on Ubuntu 12.04 "KDE Desktop"?, """Install Transparent Swar-Black-Base Themes on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise/Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric/11.04 Natty/10.10 Maverick/10.04 Lucid/Linux Mint (GTK3/2)"""
[06:59] <iops> _ProtekNickz: What do you mean by "ok"?
[06:59] <alexhairyman> KDE IS A WHOLE nother desktop environment
[06:59] <_ProtekNickz> iops: Well i use KDE and if I'm right in thinking that theme is for Gnome 3/2, so  was woundering
[07:01] <crizis> .. wtf?
[07:01] <iops> I think there are programs that make KDE use Gnome themes
[07:01] <remlabm> jellypod: reading about bumblebee, says its for optimus, am i mistaking or is that newer chips? or does bumblebee work on any nvidia chipset?
[07:01] <_ProtekNickz> ok..., so i shudda went with Gnome rather then KDE?
[07:01] <Qalqi> from then on my sound card is not funtioning
[07:02] <iops> If you want to use that theme, it's probably easier
[07:02] <_ProtekNickz> lol
[07:02] <alexhairyman> Its a matter of opinion
[07:03] <_ProtekNickz> iops, in you opinion is Gnome better  or wha?, as it was mentioned that KDE is overbloated Like Windows Vista?, or was that just some bias?
[07:04] <crizis> _ProtekNickz: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[07:04] <tacirus> Hey people, I have Ubuntu 10.04 and the Flash plugin version 11 installed , but the Epiphany browser doesn`t work for a game that is made with flash. How can I solve this?.
[07:04] <tacirus> The other browsers like Firefox, Chromium do run any flash conetent well
[07:04] <shape> Hello, I've installed Ubuntu 3 hours ago and since then Ive been trying to get Thunderbird to work. I keep getting this message: "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account". I've tried both gmail and yahoo with the exact settings that I use on my other computer (which works no problem), and I get the same error. Can someone please help? :(
[07:05] <shape> I've tried reinstalling it multiple times, including the system itself and I get the same problem. The version is 12.0.1
[07:05] <iops> _ProtekNickz: It's a matter of preference, but I've always liked Gnome 2 (and now Unity) better than KDE
[07:05] <mjbrooks> install time has now exceed 6 hours... sigh
[07:06] <alexhairyman> Me too
[07:06] <_ProtekNickz> shape: make sure the pop and smtp settings are correct
[07:06] <mjbrooks> alexhairyman: I told it not to download updates but it is anyway it seems
[07:06] <shape> _ProtekNickz, I copied them 100% correct from the computer that is working with those settings. :(
[07:07] <iops> shape: Thunderbird should be able to auto configure for Gmail.  What server are you pointing it at?
[07:07] <shape> _ProtekNickz, I am losing my mind literally. I reinstalled Ubuntu even!
[07:07] <shape> iops, that's the thing, it doesn't do it automatically. I suspect something is blocking its connection.
[07:07] <_ProtekNickz> shape: did you check incase you need SSL? or normal pass ect..
[07:07] <shape> _ProtekNickz, I've done that, yes.
[07:07] <_ProtekNickz> k
[07:08] <iops> shape: Did you enable POP or IMAP in your Gmail settings?
[07:08] <Artemis3> shape, your problem seems related to thunderbird, reinstalling ubuntu is not necesary, you could just wipe ~/.thunderbird and start again
[07:08] <iops> shape: Do you have 2 factor authentication enabled?  You have to create an app specific password in that case
[07:09] <shape> iops, what is a 2 factor authentification?
[07:09] <shape> Artemis3 I did that at least 2 times :(
[07:09] <iops> If you're asking, then you probably don't have it enabled. :)  It's where Gmail sends you text message and you have to enter a code to login
[07:09] <prabuinet> hi, i can't find keyboard layout for my language(tamil) in ubuntu, so I would like to create one, where should I start?
[07:10] <Logan_> prabuinet: I have Tamil available as a keyboard layout in Ubuntu.
[07:10] <shape> iops. So my normal email, on my other computer works with Thunderbird right at this moment. And I am trying to set up the same email on this computer. You are saying they are conflicting?
[07:11] <prabuinet> Logan_: there are a few layouts listed, but i need the office layout for tamil (tamil99)
[07:11] <prabuinet> Logan_: official layout of the government
[07:12] <shape> iops. Because the email is working on the other computer, I assume everything is turned on in Gmail. no?
[07:12] <iops> shape: No, if it already works on one computer, it should work on the other
[07:12] <shape> iops, exactly :(
[07:12] <prabuinet> Logan_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_99
[07:12] <Logan_> Ah.
[07:12] <iops> Is that a Windows computer?
[07:12] <shape> iops, both of them are running Ubuntu.
[07:12] <shape> with Thunderbird that comes with it.
[07:13] <iops> shape:   Do you have access to that computer?  Try copying the entire .thunderbird folder over
[07:13] <shape> iops: I sure can
[07:13] <shape> iops: give me a sec
[07:14] <jellypod> remlabm: yes, new chipset, it has two gpus, you can run things using optirun as a prefix.
[07:14] <iops> shape: Delete the .thunderbird folder that's on the new computer first
[07:14] <shape> iops, shouldnt I just uninstall it?
[07:14] <iops> Nah, just delete the profile folder
[07:15] <iops> And copy the other one over
[07:15] <shape> iops, so just delete the .thunderbird from the home folder and copy the other one.
[07:15] <iops> Uninstalling Thunderbird actually won't remove the folder.  You want to copy the settings over
[07:15] <iops> Yep
[07:15] <jellypod> does anyone know the terminal command that will launch 'brightness and lock'?
[07:16] <shape> iops: copying now to a USB drive, 3 minutes remaining. I will let you know once I finish everything
[07:16] <iops> ok
[07:17] <iops> shape: If that doesn't work then the problem isn't in your Thunderbird settings
[07:18] <Logan_> prabuinet: Maybe someone in #ubuntu-tam would know?
[07:18] <jellypod> does anyone know the terminal command that will launch 'brightness and lock'? You can nomally launch it from gnome-control-center, second icon.
[07:18] <prabuinet> Logan_: thanks, i'll check it out
[07:18] <Logan_> np
[07:18] <shape> iops, in the meantime, while it's copying, what else could it be. ufw is disabled for example. Anything else that might block the connection?
[07:18] <iops> shape:  Also, close Thunderbird before you copy the folder onto the new computer
[07:19] <shape> iops, yep, it's closed and the folder is deleted.
[07:19] <maxyy> Que bueno verte por aqui [maxyy]
[07:19] <maxyy> Me alegra que entraste [robgraves]
[07:20] <mjbrooks> oh wonderful, after downloading the updates I told it not to, the installer now seesm to be hanging on the Installing System step
[07:22] <iops> shape:  Maybe.  Open a terminal and type "ping -c3 smtp.gmail.com".  If you can ping the server, then it's reachable
[07:24] <shape> iops: it works. I just pinged it. It should've worked anyway since the other computer connects and gets email fine. So the whole thing comes down to the system I just installed and/or the thunderbird version.
[07:25] <iops> What about "telnet smtp.gmail.com 587"
[07:25] <bersam> hi everybody! i want to install ubuntu beside of my archlinux, the problem is i want to share home partition between two distro but ubuntu can't access to my partition home ...
[07:25] <shape> iops: I copied it and it's working!
[07:25] <iops> Ok :)
[07:25] <shape> iops: so it was Thunderbird.
[07:26] <zizoo> Ok, so I figured something out about my cron problem. Every time cron shuts down the computer, stopping automatically generated error reports fails before the crash. Anyone know what that means, or what logs or such I can look at to help figure it out?
[07:26] <shape> iops: but now I just dont understand, after installing it 5 times, with 3 different methods, why it didn't work!
[07:26] <waxstone> hi, experiencing RANDOM freezing causing me to have to reboot. cannot CTRL+ALT+F1. (12.04 64bit Nvidia gtx680). Using proprietarydriver because less freezing than opensource driver
[07:26] <shape> iops: Thanks a lot for the suggestion btw! I appreciate it. At least I got it working.
[07:27] <iops> shape:  There was an error in the configuration settings. reinstalling it at the system level wouldn't make a difference as long as the old .thunderbird folder with the bad configuration was still there
[07:27] <iops> :)
[07:27] <shape> iops: But I even reinstalled Ubuntu
[07:28] <shape> iops: strange, no?
[07:30] <tacirus> Anybody to let me know why Epiphany browser doesn`t run flash while Chromium and Firefox are alright with it, having the Adobe flash player verison 11 installed
[07:30] <shape> iops: Btw, I can see now, that the program was skipping the part where it searches in the mozilla configuration database.
[07:30] <iops> shape: Yeah, but if you configured it wrong after reinstallation then you're back where you started
[07:30] <jellypod> does anyone know the terminal command that will launch 'brightness and lock'? You can nomally launch it from gnome-control-center,  second icon.
[07:30] <iops> shape:  Nice thing about copying the folder over is that you get all your emails already on the system rather than having to download them
[07:31] <shape> iops: yes I had to copy 1GB :) also iops: There was no configuration. It just wouldn't search and give me the imap for gmail from the mozilla database. It skipped that part and told me it couldn't find the settings and that I should configure it manually. And even if I did so it still wouldn't work.
[07:31] <shape> iops: That is what I don't understand what was going on
[07:31] <Zallx> howto webviewer tvtuner ?.?
[07:32] <Zallx> anyone ?
[07:32] <iops> It took 2 days to download 1.8 GB from my Gmail.  You got the emails in a few minutes this way :)
[07:33] <Zallx> no one ?
[07:33] <shape> iops, Yet! THanks again btw! I really appreciate it!
[07:33] <iops> np
[07:33] <Zallx> webspace tvtuner php in ubuntu ?
[07:33] <shape> iops, btw, the messages are encrypted right? As in someone copying the thunderbird folder, cannot see your messages right?
[07:34] <iops> no
[07:34] <orated> Hello! Is there any alternative command to ifconfig to get eth* details?
[07:34] <Zallx> ifup
[07:34] <Zallx> ifdown
[07:34] <iops> shape: You can change the permissions on the folder though
[07:34] <c4pt> Hi i am having problems with two sound cards and a conflict between two sound cards i am using snd-ctxfi and snd-hda-intel  the problem is when i put the sound blaster card into my computer and restart the intel audio disappears from the system completely even in lspci -vvv | grep Audio its not there anymore     so if i take out the sound blaster x-fi , my intel hda audio onboard is there again
[07:34] <c4pt> what can i do so that both sound cards are registered in the system?
[07:35] <shape> iops, I cannot find them though. I am looking because I was curious
[07:35] <jellypod> does anyone know the terminal command that will launch 'brightness and lock'? You can nomally launch it from gnome-control-center,  second icon.
[07:35] <orated> Zallx:  ifup - bring a network interface up -- ifdown - take a network interface down
[07:36] <orated> Zallx: I'm looking for eth* information instead of using ifconfig :)
[07:36] <iops> shape: I used pop on mine and it was in .thunderbird/profile.name/Mail/pop.googleemail.com.   Yours will probably be in .thunderbird/profile.name/ImapMail/(gmail something)
[07:37] <Zallx> orated: i guess ur alternative is in gtk
[07:37] <iops> shape: look for a file that's 1 GB :)
[07:37] <Zallx> or in kde
[07:37] <Zallx> visual packages
[07:37] <shape> iops: it's in ImapMail/imap.googlemail.com/[Gmail]sbd
[07:37] <hattrap> hi room
[07:37] <shape> iops: sucks though. I thought they were encrypted :(
[07:38] <mjbrooks> well, install is hune after spending 6+ hours downloadin updates I told it not to... not happy
[07:38] <orated> Zallx: Any command line alternative ...
[07:38] <shape> iops: this makes it less secure, under Windows for example.
[07:38] <mjbrooks> hung*
[07:38] <iops> shape: You could create an encrypted private folder and put the .thunderbird folder in that, then symbolic link it
[07:38] <hattrap> i formatted my usb using disk utility but now it is not detected by Ubuntu
[07:38] <Zallx> orated: if u write one
[07:38] <Zallx> one that prolly depends on ifconfig
[07:39] <iops> shape: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[07:39] <hattrap> can any1 help me with this
[07:39] <hattrap> i formatted my usb using disk utility but now it is not detected by Ubuntu
[07:39] <shape> iops: I see. I will learn how to do that. The reason I installed Ubunutu on a different machine was to learn Linux! :)
[07:39] <hattrap> @shape...u were intelligent
[07:40] <iops> mv ~/.thunderbird ~/Private ;  ln -s ~/Private/.thunderbird ~/.thunderbird
[07:40] <shape> hattrap, lol what do you mean? are you being sarcastic?
[07:40] <Miscni> morning all
[07:41] <shape> iops: yes, thanks!
[07:41] <c4pt> anyone ?
[07:41] <hattrap> i hope i would have done the same thing....i m faving lot of problems now...
[07:41] <hattrap> facing*
[07:42] <Zallx> hi c4pt
[07:42] <c4pt> hi
[07:42] <Zallx> what u need ?
[07:42] <c4pt> Zallx, i am trying to run two sound cards at the same time onboard sound and sb x-fi sound
[07:42] <c4pt> Zallx, if i put the sb x-fi card into my computer my intel hda disappears from lspci and the system
[07:42] <hattrap> @shape i formatted my usb using disk utility but now it is not detected by Ubuntu
[07:42] <Zallx> i need a webshare or viewer for tvtuner .... for my phone so i can watch tv always
[07:43] <c4pt> Zallx, if i take the card out (if i take out the sb x-fi) my intel hda audio is back
[07:43] <shape> hattrap, I chose to do that because the computer is really old and I wasn't using it. 1.6 Ghz AMD Sempron. But if you don't have an extra computer I'm sure you can learn it if you run it in Virtualbox or VMware, that way you won't mess it up if you're screwing around.
[07:43] <Zallx> c4pt: best guess is to add virtual mixers ?
[07:44] <hattrap> unfortunately i messed up all my date...wished would have taken a backup
[07:44] <Zallx> why 2 soundcards ?
[07:44] <c4pt> Zallx, but why does it disappear from lspci -vvv ?
[07:44] <renatka> renatka
[07:44] <c4pt> Zallx, one card for parallels extreme (virtualization)
[07:44] <jellypod> does anyone know the terminal command that will launch 'brightness and lock'? You can nomally launch it from gnome-control-center,  second icon.
[07:44] <renatka> Renatka
[07:44] <Zallx> c4pt: becuz onboard is disabsled when offboard is attached is my best guess
[07:44] <shape> hattrap, but you formatted the USB, werent you expecting to lose the data?
[07:44] <shape> hattrap, does windows see it?
[07:44] <c4pt> Zallx, so how can i resolve it ?
[07:44] <c4pt> Zallx, i would really like both cards to be used
[07:45] <Zallx> u need to rewrite the driver so it doesnt disable
[07:45] <renatka> Renatka
[07:45] <c4pt> Zallx, it shows the video card hdmi audio and usb audio
[07:45] <Zallx> or add a AlwaysEnableOnboard.sh
[07:45] <Zallx> to re-enable it after its disabled ?
[07:46] <jellypod> seriously, nothing for brightness and lock?
[07:46] <hattrap> not in USb...i used to work in windows. when i started Ubuntu it was ext....i tried to change ext to ntfs so that i can access ubuntu from windows but...forget it ...it is a long story
[07:46] <Zallx> then add that to bashrc
[07:46] <shape> Does anyone know if your firewall iptables is not enabled, if it makes you vulnerable to attacks? I remember in Windows I was getting attacked all the time.
[07:46] <waxstone> hi, experiencing RANDOM freezing causing me to have to reboot. cannot CTRL+ALT+F1. (12.04 64bit Nvidia gtx680). Using proprietarydriver because less freezing than opensource driver
[07:46] <c4pt> Zallx, i could write the .sh i just dont understand how to re enable it right now
[07:46] <c4pt> Zallx, if i wanted to re enable my snd hda intel what should i do ? with the snd-ctxfi running ?
[07:47] <Zallx> lscpi needs to take a discision when 2 audio devices are connected
[07:47] <Zallx> witch is master witch will be disabled
[07:48] <jellypod> shape: depends on who you ask..  you behind a router?
[07:48] <Berg> any chance of getting some help with the nvidia drivers for a geforce 8800 card i fresh installed ubuntu 12.04 and let it update on install and then i used the driver manager to install the drivers //// it starts but it is stuttery i can get it to do things but i have to wait up to 5 minutes for it at act
[07:49] <shape> jellypod, yes.
[07:50] <jellypod> if you are blocking inbound connections (usual set by default on a router) you are likely gud.  You would need to setup port forwarding to hit your machine from outside your router.
[07:50] <shape> jellypod, Linksys wrt54gl. Yeah and it's all good, yet Comodo still detects intrusions in Windows.
[07:50] <c4pt> Zallx,  can i pm?
[07:50] <shape> jellypod, blocks intrusions*
[07:51] <jellypod> windows is vulnerable to everything imo.  I cant help with that.
[07:51] <shape> jellypod, Oh, yes I know that. I was just asking if you have iptables disabled, would you still be safe.
[07:54] <jellypod> shape: why do you have it disabled?
[07:55] <greenit> hi, i have a lexmark-printer and installed the lexmark-toolbox, but when i want to print, it just aborts the print-jobs, because i have no more color-ink, however, the black ink is nearly full and i want to print black only...  how can i force the print or change settings so that it prints?
[07:56] <DarwinSurvivor> greenit: that's probably a question best answered by lexmark. From what I've heard some printers won't *let* you do that.
[07:56] <shape> jellypod, can you please paste me what you said in case you responded? My internet crashed. :(
[07:56] <DarwinSurvivor> greenit: there is an alternative though
[07:56] <greenit> DarwinSurvivor, k
[07:56] <greenit> DarwinSurvivor, which one?
[07:57] <jellypod> shape: Just asked why you have iptables off.
[07:57] <DarwinSurvivor> greenit: some printers allow you to override the toner sensor to always show pull (I do this on my HP to get a few hundred more prints per cartridge).
[07:57] <DND> hi guys need help. we have a very old P4 computer running ubuntu 12.04 it also has a very old agp video card that has 2 outputs. the problem is.when i left the two tvs running the second tv just decides to sleep
[07:57] <DND> i have disabled the screensaver and its still happening
[07:58] <AtTrackTor> hi @ all
[07:58] <DarwinSurvivor> greenit: on the HP it actually right in the button-controlled menu on the printer itself (as well as the printer's web interface), you'll have to check with lexmark to find out if your printer has a similar feature (check the manual for "override")
[07:58] <shape> jellypod, before I answer that, is iptables the same as ufw ?
[07:58] <jellypod> mm, no
[07:58] <greenit> DarwinSurvivor, thx
[07:58] <fyrzen> Hello, I have a small query for you gentlemen. I have a current ubuntu installation on one partition (18GB). I want to make another (125GB) partition my home folder and preserve all settings. Will simply moving the user directory (and other files in /home) to the new partition, and mounting it as /home in /etc/fstab do the trick?
[07:58] <shape> jellypod, then it's not off sorry. I meant ufw is disabled.
[07:58] <jellypod> shape: ufw is a iptables frontend
[07:58] <shape> ufw is disabled by default when you install
[07:58] <Berg> any chance of getting some help with the nvidia drivers for a geforce 8800 card i fresh installed ubuntu 12.04 and let it update on install and then i used the driver manager to install the drivers //// it starts but it is stuttery i can get it to do things but i have to wait up to 5 minutes for it at act
[07:59] <zornent> hello all
[07:59] <DarwinSurvivor> fyrzen: should yes. but as always with partition stuff back everything up just in case
[07:59] <jellypod> ufw is a iptables frontend, jsut a controller program for iptables.
[07:59] <jellypod> type sudo iptable -L
[07:59] <zornent> is there a good tut on how to get a built in laptop webcam working in ubuntu?
[07:59] <fyrzen> DarwinSurvivor, jolly good, thanks very much
[07:59] <jellypod> that will list your iptables
[07:59] <DarwinSurvivor> fyrzen: no problem
[08:00] <c4pt> Zallx, can i pm?
[08:00] <DarwinSurvivor> !webcam | zornent
[08:00] <shape> jellypod, Chain input policies are set to accept, what does that mean?
[08:00] <DND> any help?
[08:01] <deejay31> Oh ues, I no have ubuntu installed on my server
[08:01] <jellypod> that is default
[08:01] <deejay31> *now
[08:01] <DarwinSurvivor> DND: can you connect another display to it (or swap the displays) to determine if it is something specific with the tv or the output of the card itself?
[08:01] <jellypod> shape: that is default.
[08:01] <shape> jellypod, so it's all good, right?
[08:01] <jellypod> sounds good
[08:02] <jellypod> deejay31: how is it?
[08:02] <deejay31> jellypod: I was  about to reinstall centos, because apt-get want installing packages, then I realised that I need to run sudo apt-get update
[08:02] <jellypod> sudo!
[08:02] <DND> DarwinSurvivor, ok wil try switching and will even heck the bios
[08:02] <deejay31> Better than centos though
[08:02] <shape> jellypod, So is there any other way I might be at risk against attacks? Or just being on Ubuntu makes it hard to do that.
[08:02] <AtTrackTor> need just a small hint. I created a file as root in a folder named /home/shared (to have a folder for all users). chmod 777 on folder and file. chgrp users on folder and file. but still trying to open the file as one of my "users" says "error opening file". can someone please tell me, what I forgot?
[08:02] <jellypod> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:02] <jellypod> then reboot
[08:02] <deejay31> who me
[08:03] <jellypod> shape: being on ubuntu makes it hard, but it really depends on what you are doing.
[08:03] <DarwinSurvivor> AtTrackTor: please run "ls -l path_to_file" and tell us what you get
[08:03] <jellypod> if you are just using a desktop behind a router, you should be fine from the outside world.
[08:03] <jellypod> as long as the router blocks incoming traffic
[08:03] <deejay31> jellypod: Just need to upload all 400mb of files now!
[08:04] <shape> jellypod, Like malicious websites trying to attack you.
[08:04] <jellypod> I do?
[08:04] <jellypod> shape: that is a different issue
[08:04] <fasta> How can I answer all upgrade questions at the same time?
[08:04] <jellypod> you still need to be careful of what you click on, but you are MUCH safter with ubuntu
[08:04] <deejay31> jellypod: no me
[08:04] <jellypod> deejay31: do it
[08:04] <jellypod> y
[08:04] <DarwinSurvivor> DND: remember, if you are using a laptop, chances are you will eventually connect to an unencrypted network (mcdonalds, starbucks, etc).  It drives me crazy.
[08:05] <AtTrackTor> DarwinSurvivor: drwxrxrwx 7 root users 4096 2012-05-19 20:22 aponotebook
[08:05] <jellypod> deejay31: sorry, I thought you were running upgrades with apt
[08:05] <deejay31> I did
[08:05] <fasta> It is also completely unreasonable behaviour as it could also just ask all those questions at the beginning or the end.
[08:05] <AtTrackTor> DarwinSurvivor: ah.. of course its drwxrwxrwx (+w)
[08:05] <netrunner1> greetings everyone! im trying to instll ubuntu12.04 server edition in an old machine(pentium m 1.5Ghz) and im getting an error message telling me that the kernel requires pae w/c is not present in my CPU...
[08:05] <jellypod> deejay31: oh, ok.
[08:05] <DarwinSurvivor> AtTrackTor: that's a directory, not a file
[08:06] <jellypod> is everything working gud?
[08:06] <deejay31> Yes, I didnt need to manuslly install , my host has that option!
[08:06] <jellypod> deejay31: cool.
[08:07] <deejay31> Yes, It saves all the CD''s and USB drives and slow internet stuff
[08:07] <jellypod> deejay31: check out /apt/sources.list, you might want to uncomment partners.  Also check out the medibuntu repos.
[08:07] <deejay31> My packages are working now
[08:07] <jellypod> sweet
[08:07] <jellypod> iftop
[08:07] <jellypod> htop
[08:07] <jellypod> [:
[08:07] <FloodBot1> jellypod: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:07] <jellypod> FloodBot1: sorry
[08:07] <deejay31> Lol
[08:08] <jellypod> (:
[08:08] <AtTrackTor> DarwinSurvivor: you're right. and i think, i found the reason. the group of all files changed. but most files are still in mod 755 or even 600.
[08:08] <DND> DarwinSurvivor, is that message for me im using a desktop and 2 LCD tv are connected to a single video card
[08:08] <deejay31> Is it possible to use irssi as an IRC bouncer
[08:08] <deejay31> I suppose if I put it in a screen...
[08:08] <jellypod> mmmmm...how do you mean?
[08:08] <jellypod> yes, that is what i do deejay31
[08:08] <jellypod> screen
[08:09] <deejay31> So you are using irssi now
[08:09] <zizoo> lol, apologizing to bots. I've done that. xD.... For a sec I thought I figured out your problem, jellypod, then I realized that you mentioned you're using 12.04 now. I'm thinking I was right to delay updating. Lots of people having random troubles. >.>
[08:09] <DarwinSurvivor> DND: no, I was answering another quick question for someone else. did you get the TV's switched and narrow down the source of the problem?
[08:09] <jellypod> deejay31: nice howto for irssi and ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010780
[08:09] <deejay31> I am using irssi on ubuntu now
[08:09] <Berg> I take it there is no remedy for my problem as no response have a nice day all
[08:09] <jellypod> just did it on ubuntu 12.04
[08:10] <jellypod> deejay31: well if you want the irssi scripts and such
[08:10] <deejay31> Ok thank you
[08:10] <jellypod> np
[08:11] <deejay31> Joy only 59 minutes left of uploading
[08:11] <DarwinSurvivor> Athanasius: why are your files mod 755? Are they scripts or something? (odd numbered permissions mean executable)
[08:12] <Athanasius> DarwinSurvivor: huh?
[08:12] <Athanasius> oh
[08:13] <netrunner1> is there a boot option i can place to use a non-pae kernel on a 12.04 server installation?
[08:13] <jellypod> so another fail with ubuntu 12.04, no command line command to run the brightness & lock window
[08:13] <deejay31> Oh yes ,ubuntu is the best
[08:14] <jellypod> fail
[08:14] <jellypod> \o/ubuntu
[08:14] <deejay31> I using Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64, is that good?
[08:14] <jellypod> deejay31: sure
[08:14] <deejay31> My host didnt have 12.04
[08:15] <jellypod> its gud enough for now
[08:15] <jellypod> i still use 10.04
[08:15] <jellypod> and love it
[08:15] <deejay31> Whys that
[08:15] <zizoo> 10.04 is better you think?
[08:15] <jellypod> I like it better
[08:15] <jellypod> no unity
[08:16] <deejay31> Do you need unity on a server?
[08:16] <jellypod> gnome2...no reason to really upgrade.
[08:16] <zizoo> Isn't gnome classic in 11.10 good enough for that?
[08:16] <jellypod> deejay31: no
[08:16] <waxstone> hi, experiencing RANDOM freezing causing me to have to reboot. cannot CTRL+ALT+F1. (12.04 64bit Nvidia gtx680). Using proprietarydriver because less freezing than opensource driver
[08:16] <zizoo> I haven't had problems with it anyways.
[08:16] <jellypod> install gnome-panel and gnome-shell if you want to try something else for GUI desktop deejay31
[08:16] <jellypod> zizoo: some like, most ive met do not like unity (yet)
[08:17] <deejay31> pastebin
[08:17] <jellypod> ?
[08:17] <deejay31> I was seeing if ubottu is in the room
[08:17] <deejay31> http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi
[08:17] <zizoo> No, no, I dislike unity. I'm talking about using the classic desktop to be rid of the interface.... Or is that a bit backwards of me?
[08:18] <jellypod> zizoo: I use classic
[08:18] <jellypod> on 12.04
[08:18] <StarryNight> i went kde
[08:18] <jellypod> and regular old gnome2 on 10.04
[08:18] <ldz420> jellypod: yeah.. i know a couple of people that don't like unity some of the item are imo good innovations - I am also not a fan of new things and didn't think that I would like unity
[08:18] <deejay31> I hate unity, in my opinion it is only good on a touchscreen
[08:18] <jellypod> kde, blah, imo.
[08:18] <zizoo> but it's giving you a lot of grief now, isn't it? I've been pretty happy on 11.10's classic.
[08:18] <zizoo> Agreed on the touchscreen point.
[08:18] <deejay31> Yes
[08:18] <fasta> Ubuntu informed me 3 times now that the php.ini file has changed. One would think that one is enough.
[08:19] <ldz420> have anyone that doesn't like unity use 12.04 LTS?
[08:19] <popey> jellypod: gnome-control-center screen
[08:19] <jellypod> ldz420: just such a learning curve.  been using ubuntu since breezy, debian/slackware/gentoo before that.  This is easily the hardest time ive had in a while.
[08:19] <jellypod> popey: for what?
[08:19] <popey> jellypod: in answer to your comment that you can't start brightness and lock from the command line
[08:20] <jellypod> popey: right, is there a terminal command for the brightness window, second icon, I just want to lanch that second icon in gnome-control-center..
[08:20] <popey> jellypod: thats what i just gave you gnome-control-center screen
[08:20] <deejay31> Jellypod: Do you think the centos apache config file will work on ubuntu
[08:21] <jellypod> popey: YOU R the man
[08:21] <jellypod> \o/thx
[08:21] <popey> np
[08:21]  * jellypod is SOOO HAPPY
[08:22] <popey> so, we can conclude from this that 12.04 is not as faily as first announced :p
[08:22] <deejay31> Ok...
[08:22] <excalibr> does anyone know of way to edit sciTE menu entries?
[08:22] <ldz420> jellypod: I can understand I started ubuntu on 5.04 and used fedora and redhat before.  but when using the HUD I have found it useful
[08:23] <deejay31> Who here uses ubuntu on a server?
[08:23] <jellypod> ldz420: agreed
[08:23] <jellypod> deejay31: o/ I do
[08:23] <deejay31> Same
[08:23] <jellypod> a few, and i use centos, in a server room.
[08:23] <jellypod> likez ubuntu moar
[08:23] <DarwinSurvivor> deejay31: I used to (using FreeBSD on the server now)
[08:24] <deejay31> When I leave an SSH session inactive for about 2 minutes, my host drops the connection!?
[08:24] <DarwinSurvivor> DND: are you still there?
[08:26] <ldz420> ok I have an issue and wanted to know if someone could think of some options that I could look into. I am using nvidia and when not using the proprietary drivers
[08:26] <ldz420> my screen resolution doesn't go past 1024 * 768.  which doesn't bother me that much . which is why I am not using the proprietary driver but wanted to know if there my be some options
[08:27] <ldz420> besides proprietary nvidia drivers
[08:28] <Wiz_KeeD> hello guys
[08:28] <ldz420> hey wiz_keed
[08:29] <DarwinSurvivor> ldz420: is there any reason you're *not* using the proprietary drivers?
[08:30] <c0deMaster> whats the advantages of using Apparmor over selinux? other than its easier.
[08:33] <Wiz_KeeD> http://linuxconfig.org/how-to-crack-a-wireless-wep-key-using-air-crack does anyone know why wlan0 is not available?

[08:33] <ldz420> DarwinSurvivor: when possible I try to stay away from proprietary it just hold a negative connotation in my mind especially when open source alternative covers my needs.. it is just the higher resolution would help with fitting more item on the screen . (but I do have more than one workspace)
[08:35] <Wiz_KeeD> sorry connection went down for a sec
[08:35] <ldz420> so I don't know if a little reading and some coding could resolve the issue that I am having.. but I really wouldn't know where to start.. or if there are some specific driver versions that would resolve the issue
[08:37] <TomatoKetchup> ldz420, just curious what card you are running?

[08:52] <jellyblob> How do I save connection (like with bookmarks) using "Connect to Server" in ubuntu 12.04 using Gnome classic?
[08:52] <jellyblob> ohai all
[08:52] <gnr> hi
[08:52] <jellyblob> ohai gnr
[08:52] <gnr> Wiz_KeeD: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[08:53] <Wiz_KeeD> i think you got the path wrong gnr
[08:54] <jellyblob> Im using Gnome Classic on Ubuntu 12.04.  How do I save server connections, like under Place>bookmarks, the way I use to in 10.04?
[08:54] <gnr> you seems to be smart
[08:54] <Wiz_KeeD> no i wan't trying to, there is no such directory Gnea
[08:54] <Wiz_KeeD> gnr,
[08:55] <gnr> is the /etc/udev existed?
[08:56] <jellyblob> anyone know how to save server connections, like Places>bookmarks, for ssh connections using "Connect to Server"? On ubuntu 12.04..?
[08:56] <jellyblob> using Gnome Classic?
[08:56] <Wiz_KeeD> wait, found it gnr
[08:56] <gnr> perhaps dh_installudev - install udev rules files?
[08:56] <fasta> I run that Ubuntu screen program, but inside such a session I started another screen session. When I press C-a C-d, it detaches from the outer Ubuntu screen session. How do I detach from the inner screen session?

[08:57] <jellyblob> fasta: I will kill the second session with ctrl+d
[08:57] <cek>  Hi. I'd like to have a very recent-kernel livecd, for testing new hardware. What would you recommend?
[08:57] <cek>  That is, it means some userspace daemons should be aware of that hardware, too. like lsusb, lspci, dmidecode, mcelog
[08:57] <jellyblob> 12.04
[08:58] <Wiz_KeeD> what now gnr :) ?
[08:58] <fasta> jellyblob: that has no effect.
[08:58] <jellyblob> cek: is ubuntu 12.04 gud enough?
[08:58] <cek> jellyblob, can it work under kernel.org latest stable kernel?
[08:58] <jellyblob> fasta, if you are in the second session? you should be able to ctrl+d and exit
[08:58] <fasta> jellyblob: I also cannot press F9 to get the menu.
[08:59] <jellyblob> let me do it to myself and see, I do that all the time accidently [:
[08:59] <fasta> jellyblob: my second session is this irc chat.
[08:59] <DarwinSurvivor> jellyblob: just drap/drop the folder to the bookmarks toolbar
[08:59] <fasta> jellyblob: there is no extra shell
[08:59] <gnr> edit the file, delete the one you don't want and add the one you need
[08:59] <jellyblob> ah, fasta easiest thing is to kill them both and start again, just saying, imo
[08:59] <fasta> jellyblob: that doesn't sound like a very informed solution.
[09:00] <jellyblob> fasta: if you kill the first session, I think it will kill the second session
[09:00] <jellyblob> fasta: Im just saying what is easy
[09:00] <cek> I don't want ubuntu with all bloatware, is it possible to make a text livecd?
[09:00] <jellyblob> if you hit ctrl+d in the second session though, at least on 10.04 and 12.04, it exits the session
[09:00] <gnr> Wiz_KeeD: something like this: # PCI device 0x168c:0x002b (ath9k)
[09:00] <gnr> SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="77:de:2b:10:0e:d0", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan1"
[09:01] <jellyblob> cek: what about server edition?
[09:01] <Wiz_KeeD> i should run a command?
[09:01] <gnr> just make sure the drivers, mac address and the names are correct
[09:01] <Wiz_KeeD> ok step 2...how do i do that? :))
[09:01] <gnr> reboot and see if all is right
[09:01] <Wiz_KeeD> i've rebooted every day
[09:02] <Wiz_KeeD> why should anything change, i hadn't done anything
[09:02] <fasta> jellyblob: I already found the answer.
[09:03] <jellyblob> fasta: screen -r?
[09:03] <Wiz_KeeD> or did you imply i run a command and i hadn't noticed gnr
[09:03] <gnr> Wiz_KeeD: did you see this? SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="77:de:2b:10:0e:d0", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan1"
[09:03] <jellyblob> fasta: great? i use screen everyday, i hate it when that happens [:
[09:03] <jellyblob> great?=great!
[09:03] <Wiz_KeeD> ahh, you mean add that to the doc and reboot gnr?
[09:03] <fasta> jellyblob: no, and you should t advice people to kill programs.
[09:04] <gnr> Wiz_KeeD: yup
[09:04] <fasta> jellyblob: solution was c-a-a-d.
[09:04] <jellyblob> fasta, ah I didnt know you were running the program...
[09:04] <fasta> jellyblob: yes, you knew.
[09:04] <fasta> jellyblob: because I said it was my irc client.
[09:04] <gnr> Wiz_KeeD:just make sure the drivers, mac address and the names are correct
[09:04] <jellyblob> fasta, ctrl+d is the easy thing to do, if you do not like the advice, feel free to ask someone else.
[09:04] <Wiz_KeeD> gnr, how can i do that?
[09:05] <Wiz_KeeD> with mac i can do ifconfig
[09:05] <fasta> jellyblob: I also told you that ctrl+d didnt work.
[09:05] <jellyblob> ctrl+d only makes sense if you are in terminal
[09:05] <jellyblob> if you are in irssi, it does nothing
[09:05] <fasta> jellyblob: and where was I?
[09:05] <gnr> Wiz_KeeD: ifconfig first and note down the mac
[09:05] <fasta> jellyblob: you should really stop your redundant talking.
[09:05] <jellyblob> fasta: I didnt know you were in your irc client.
[09:05] <Wiz_KeeD> gnr, got it
[09:05] <jellyblob> fasta: you got your answer /ignore fasta
[09:06] <fasta> I will ignore you.
[09:06] <Wiz_KeeD> so i should replace it in your example?
[09:06] <gnr> Wiz_KeeD: nope, that's mine :)
[09:06] <gnr> Wiz_KeeD: haha except the mac
[09:06] <Wiz_KeeD> so i replace the mac with the one from ifconfig
[09:07] <DarwinSurvivor> DND: ok, I have to go now, good luck with your TV's
[09:07] <gnr> Wiz_KeeD: just change the mac, i think it should work
[09:07] <Wiz_KeeD> ok, thank you gnr i'll reboot and be back
[09:07] <Wiz_KeeD> hopefully :-s
[09:07] <Wiz_KeeD> wish me luck :))
[09:07] <gnr> Wiz_KeeD: good luck
[09:08] <jondot> how do i change font size to a fractional size, i.e. 10.6 in the new 12.04 terminal?

[09:21] <thegame8890> My computer slows down significantly with continuous operation. After a few hours it's struggling to do anything. I checked my lists of tasks and I've pinpointed it to a task called "whoopsie". It is sometimes using up 100% of my CPU and at least 50% of my RAM. I believe this is what's called a memory leak issue? Could someone help me with this please.
[09:21] <Wiz-KeeD> gnr, most probably
[09:22] <Wiz-KeeD> i have no trouble with the name, i cannot use aircrack-ng to test my router

[09:37] <ActionParsnip> quiet today
[09:37] <miss_ubuntu> Good Day ActionParsnip
[09:38] <ActionParsnip> hi miss_ubuntu
[09:38] <miss_ubuntu> Question : Quick file search, ONLY in file names ,indexed , through LENS in unity  or some other method. possible??
[09:39] <fasta> Humans look like smurfs in Youtube Flash videos. Other videos look OK. Any idea?
[09:40] <miss_ubuntu> Fasta u can increase the video resolution on youtube for better quality
[09:40] <fasta> miss_ubuntu: smurfs like in 'blue'.
[09:40] <miss_ubuntu> ActionParsnip what tool do u use for searching only in filenames?
[09:40] <fasta> miss_ubuntu: the colors are all wrong (there is a lack of red, I think)
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> miss_ubuntu: locate
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> miss_ubuntu: you'll need to run:  sudo updatedb   first
[09:41] <miss_ubuntu> fasta , is ur monitor ok?
[09:41] <fasta> miss_ubuntu: I already said that other videos work fine.
[09:41] <dubey> I have setup RAID10 with 1TB of 8 volumes on Ubuntu 10.04 (Kernel 2.6.32-317-ec2) and md  v<IP_ADDRESS>; I am facing system freezing issue
[09:41] <fasta> miss_ubuntu: I suppose I could even download the exat same video to verify.
[09:41] <miss_ubuntu> ActionParsnip locate is not as good as Everything.exe in windows
[09:42] <miss_ubuntu> fasta have u tried any other browser?
[09:42] <fasta> miss_ubuntu: no
[09:42] <miss_ubuntu> fasta plz do :)
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> miss_ubuntu: how, updatedb makes a database of the files, so the search is instantaneous
[09:43] <dubey> I also noticed that system CPU load continue to go up and one of the volume from array's ioload is 100% and avgqu = 100%+
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> dubey: is the ram healthy?
[09:43] <dubey> 16/32 GB RAM
