[01:17] <W4sp> gmagno: That would be without any user intervention. Are you always in default resolution, e. g. 640 x 480? Also, not clear what you mean by 'no success'. Did you get an error message pointing to sysntax errors? IMO is does not recognize the params.
[01:18] <wilee-nilee> cronie2285, this might help. http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[01:19] <cronie2285> Thanks alot
[01:19] <cronie2285> I'll have a look.
[01:20] <cronie2285> I've been using Fedora for years , but having some issues with ubuntu install.
[01:21] <bonhoeffer> i'm having a terrrible time with my mouse . . . it is moving, but the click isn't taking
[01:22] <bonhoeffer> alt-tab isn't swapping applications either
[01:22] <goddard> if I make a backup image of my disk using dd ... can I install that image using dd on a different drive?
[01:22] <gmagno> W4sp, yes, I'm always in 640x480. By no success I mean resolution keeps the same, the default one. I'm not sure I get any error, at least there is nothing popping up, but there might be messages behind the scenes... I'm a noob :-/
[01:23] <bonhoeffer> any troubleshooting options would be greatly appreciated
[01:23] <wilee-nilee> bonhoeffer, you running the unity de
[01:24] <bonhoeffer> wilee-nilee, not sure -- please let me know of any information i can provide -- 12.04 fresh install
[01:24] <bonhoeffer> or new install over old ubuntu
[01:24] <W4sp> gmagno: NExt time you get a change to boot into GRUB I woudl suggest to figure out what vbeinfo tells you.
[01:24] <wilee-nilee> bonhoeffer, try unity --reset to rest the desktop
[01:24] <wilee-nilee> reset*
[01:25] <wilee-nilee> not sure about the mouse though
[01:25] <gmagno> W4sp, I've done that, it outputs the allowed resolutions I think. But I don't think the output fits in one page... is there a less command in grub command line?
[01:26] <gmagno> something like vbeinfo | less
[01:26] <gmagno> that it didn't work
[01:26] <W4sp> gmagno: I think so but it is 'more'. I need to check the doc, brb.
[01:27] <gmagno> W4sp, ah ok
[01:27] <gmagno> W4sp, would it be helpful for you to see that output? How can I store that content in a file that I can read later?
[01:29] <bonhoeffer_> wilee-nilee: i can't click back into the window and alt-tab can't get me there either
[01:29] <wilee-nilee> bonhoeffer, try ctrl-alt-t to get a terminal then run the command
[01:30] <bonhoeffer_> that helps!
[01:30] <bonhoeffer_> still no idea why alt+tab doesn't work
[01:32] <pr0ndigy> how do i update the kernel in the iso?
[01:32] <wilee-nilee> pr0ndigy, is this a full install?
[01:32] <pr0ndigy> what other kind is there?
[01:32] <wilee-nilee> ah sorry ISO pr0ndigy
[01:33] <wilee-nilee> pr0ndigy, there are loads to a usb that are just the ISO for installs
[01:33] <bonhoeffer_> any idea how i can disable all visual effects with compiz
[01:33] <wilee-nilee> which can gave a persistent option to save your work
[01:33] <bonhoeffer_> from terminal ?
[01:34] <wilee-nilee> bonhoeffer, I would switch to the 2d as lof now
[01:34] <wilee-nilee> of*
[01:34] <bonhoeffer_> any idea how to do that
[01:34] <bonhoeffer_> not sure what you mean by 2d as lof
[01:34] <wilee-nilee> bonhoeffer, yes at the login is a dropdown
[01:34] <InferiorHumanOrg> can someone please help me with something, http://www.mvktech.net/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/GK104_VGABIOS_GB670WF3_MOD_EXAMPLE.pdf    can someone look at that and tell me what you would change 64 09 to to make 1202 say 1231, and why ?
[01:35] <pr0ndigy> wilee, how do i check the kernel version in the iso? where is it located?
[01:35] <wilee-nilee> pr0ndigy, I don't know that, myself
[01:35] <bonhoeffer_> i don't know, i can't click on logout
[01:35] <n2diy> what all do I need to watch youtube? I installed restricted extras, but I'm still getting missing plug in messages?
[01:36] <wilee-nilee> pr0ndigy, while using it or just accessing the ISO
[01:36] <W4sp> gmagno: I'll be back as I need to boot into my GRUB menu so see what can be done.
[01:36] <pr0ndigy> wilee, i didn't understand your previous answer 100%... is there a way to update the kernel in the iso before i burn it to CD so i don't have anymore kernel panics when trying to install ubuntu?
[01:37] <gmagno> W4sp, wait
[01:37] <bonhoeffer_> crap, i've lost all control -- what is ctl+alt+delete to restart?
[01:37] <W4sp> gmagno: OK.
[01:38] <wilee-nilee> pr0ndigy, not that I know of, there are ways to maske a ISO of a install
[01:38] <gmagno> just want to tell you that there is no less or more, you have to set pager=1
[01:38] <wilee-nilee> make*
[01:38] <gmagno> just found out that
[01:38] <gmagno> that's all
[01:38] <W4sp> gmagno: That's great!
[01:38] <gmagno> set pager=1
[01:38] <L3top> bonhoeffer_: try ctrl alt f2   to get to a terminal... and login, then sudo service lightdm restart       if you are in unity that is
[01:38] <gmagno> that's the syntax
[01:38] <Treaver> Hello my computer died while I was sleeping. I woke up, plugged it in, and turned it on. Now the menubar and the launcher bar are no where to be found? Can someone help me with this problem
[01:39] <gmagno> W4sp, ok, please proceed, I'll be waiting for feedback. Can't tell how much I appreciate this, thanks a lot
[01:39] <bonhoeffer_> L3top: did it, thanks!
[01:40] <W4sp> gmagno: I think now that we know that it is up to you to reboot and see if 1366x768 is supported.
[01:42] <Treaver> Hello my computer died while I was sleeping. I woke up, plugged it in, and turned it on. Now the menubar and the launcher bar are no where to be found? Can someone help me with this problem
[01:42] <gmagno> W4sp, ok. Do you know how to store that output to a file? Because I'm sure that there are several entries on that ouput that refer 1366x768, I think there are several because of number of colors and if it is 32 or 16
[01:44] <jesuschn> Hi
[01:44] <wilee-nilee> pr0ndigy, if you have the install on another computer with what you need you can make an ISO with this,  http://www.remastersys.com/  A ISO can probably be customized I don't know the process though, people come on that build custom ones there is a wiki somewhere.
[01:44] <jesuschn> Theres an specific channel for latin people?
[01:45] <W4sp> gmagno: No. But if you know that 1366x768 is listed we should proceed with 1024x768 and see if it accepts the parameters from the promt. I would give iteration a thumb up. :-)
[01:45] <wilee-nilee> pr0ndigy, here what you need I think https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[01:45] <pr0ndigy> wilee, i'm trying to do a fresh install on my laptop. No other pc has linux/ubuntu on it. Everything else has windows 7
[01:46] <n2diy> what all do I need to watch youtube? I installed restricted extras, but I'm still getting missing plug in messages?
[01:46] <gmagno> W4sp, ok. I should just add vga=1024x768, right?
[01:47] <gmagno> and if an error occurs is there a log file somewhere in the file system I could read?
[01:47] <jesuschn> I looking for Video Drivers for Dell n4010, where i can look?
[01:49] <wilee-nilee> jesuschn, you know the card?
[01:50] <jesuschn> Nop,
[01:50] <jesuschn> how i can know it?
[01:50] <wilee-nilee> jesuschn, this command will tell you post it lspci | grep VGA
[01:50] <jesuschn> wile, thanks gonna try..
[01:50] <wilee-nilee> cool np
[01:51] <jesuschn> wilee, return this > 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)
[01:51] <jesuschn> VGA its bold,
[01:52] <wilee-nilee> jesuschn, you sure you are not set already, what makes you think you need a driver?
[01:54] <jesuschn> wilee, nothing really, just wanna be sure i been already install this driver..
[01:54] <jesuschn> so, its already installed, no?
[01:54] <wilee-nilee> jesuschn, if everything is running you should be set.
[01:54] <gmagno> W4sp, nevermind, I'm rebooting the laptop, brb
[01:54] <wilee-nilee> ubuntu is good at finding the right drivers jesuschn
[01:56] <jesuschn> Woot! this amazing.. thanks wilee..!
[01:56] <jesuschn> really thanks for help me :)
[01:57] <wilee-nilee> jesuschn, no problem. ;)
[01:57] <rypervenche> jesuschn: It's built right into the kernel.
[01:58] <pr0ndigy> wilee-nilee: i got the install to work on my laptop. I had to add "acpi=off" to the command line before i ran the install
[01:59] <jesuschn> thanks guys.. see ya later..
[01:59] <jesuschn> bye
[02:00] <rodrigues2k> how can I use google drive in Ubuntu?
[02:01] <wilee-nilee> pr0ndigy, cool.
[02:01] <usr13> What's "google drive"?
[02:02] <wilee-nilee> rodrigues2k, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/insync-brings-google-drive-to-ubuntu
[02:02] <pr0ndigy> usr13: it's google's version of dropbox
[02:03] <jardineworks_> can someone tell me where ANT is installed on Ubuntu (when I install it using apt-get)
[02:03] <jardineworks_> I can't seem to locate it
[02:03] <usr13> Oh ok....  rodrigues2k Looks like you do it from google chrome, (https://drive.google.com/start#home)
[02:05] <usr13> jardineworks_: It's launcher?
[02:05] <usr13> jardineworks_: Search...
[02:05] <usr13> jardineworks_: Read the documentation.
[02:06] <NickECE> is it possible that my broadcom BCM43224 will ONLY accept 108.11n connections?
[02:07] <rodrigues2k> Google drive is a 'folder' in the cloud where I can store my files, and then share it.
[02:07] <usr13> jardineworks_: Alt-F2-ant
[02:08] <rodrigues2k> But, I founded a link that explain how to configure it in Ubuntu.
[02:08] <usr13> NickECE: If it is only a 2.4GHz xvr, yes
[02:08] <jardineworks_> usr13, I don't need to execute the ant command, but thanks
[02:08] <NickECE> usr13, I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but how do I check?
[02:08] <usr13> jardineworks_: What do you need?
[02:09] <usr13> NickECE: http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM43224
[02:09] <jardineworks_> usr13. it's ok, I found it in /usr/share/ant .. I'm having a problem in eclipse. I click on an Ant target, but nothing happens. The error log is throwing an exception "SocketTimeout" which I can't understand.
[02:10] <usr13> jardineworks_: What is the exact error?
[02:10] <NickECE> hmm so it's fully a/b/g/n compatible... ok now im super stumped
[02:10] <jardineworks_> usr13, I just solved it by overiding the eclipse ant bundle with my install... but the exception I was getting was --
[02:11] <jardineworks_> java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Accept timed out
[02:11] <jardineworks_> 	at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method)

[02:11] <NickECE> lol
[02:12] <usr13> jardineworks_:  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/505090
[02:12] <usr13> NickECE: What is it?
[02:13] <jardineworks_> usr13, was that supposed to be helpful?
[02:13] <gmagno> hey W4sp problem solved! :D
[02:13] <W4sp> gmagno: Hi. I was eagerly awaiting the good news.
[02:14] <W4sp> gmagno: What was it - enlight me.
[02:14] <usr13> jardineworks_: I dono.  You tell me.
[02:14] <NickECE> I'm not sure if you are familiar with ardrones, but the create their own wireless network and I am trying to connect to it but I keep getting refused. however, I can connect to my home network (802.11n) with ease. I connected an external usb wifi adapter and it connected, but that is not a permanent solution
[02:14] <gmagno> it was my fault of course... I was trying to set 1366x768 (which is what nvidia settings tell about my current resolution), but the supported resolution by grub is 1360x768 :)
[02:14] <usr13> NickECE: No, I'm not familiar with ardrones.
[02:15] <NickECE> ok no worries, thanks for the help anyways
[02:15] <usr13> NickECE: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1983905
[02:15] <gmagno> W4sp, so changing from 1366 to 1360 solved the problem... I know, it is disapointing...
[02:15] <W4sp> gmagno: That's what VBE listed you?
[02:15] <gmagno> W4sp, yup, that is correct!
[02:16] <W4sp> gmagno: Good news. Have fun.
[02:16] <gmagno> W4sp, thanks a lot!!
[02:16] <simplew> its already possible to chat with video using empathy and/or pidgin??
[02:16] <NickECE> usr13, yeah I've seen that, but thats not my problem. I CAN connect to certain networks, just not this one
[02:16] <gmagno> take care
[02:16] <simplew> its already possible to chat with video using empathy and/or pidgin  in precise??
[02:16] <xangua> simplew: yes, with xmpp
[02:16] <usr13> NickECE: Ok, .. just FYI ..
[02:16] <NickECE> usr13, no absolutely
[02:16] <NickECE> I appreciate it!
[02:17] <usr13> NickECE: So, the driver software is not the issue....
[02:17] <NickECE> it doesn't seem that way. I just can't seem to connect to this one network. I'm going to try reinstalling the drivers (again) anyways
[02:17] <usr13> NickECE:  I'm not familiar with ardrones, maybe someone else is.
[02:25] <mr-fool> I am just wondering is amd e300apu supported by ubuntu?
[02:26] <W4sp> gmagno: Good luck, take care too.
[02:26] <NickECE> what are some commands I can use to look at the different networks in terminal?
[02:29] <mr-fool> NickECE: netstat -a?
[02:30] <usr13> NickECE: iwlist
[02:32] <kristenbb> hello, how can I uninstall the report bug application, or at least prevent from being displayed ? I tried looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport, I think that's how it's called, but it seems to say it's disabled by default, yet I do see a window asking me to report the crash bug.
[02:35] <theadmin> !find /usr/bin/ubuntu-bug
[02:35] <theadmin> kristenbb: apt-get remove that ^
[02:35] <kristenbb> is it the only package doing that ?
[02:36] <theadmin> kristenbb: Well, all the other packages (such as GUI frontends to it) depend on it and will be removed along with it
[02:36] <mounir> hola
[02:37] <wilee-nilee> remove apport
[02:37] <mounir> hay alguien?
[02:37] <theadmin> !es | mounir

[02:41] <escapeplan> I need some serious help with Docky, I want it to intellihide, but I'm doing this from a MadBox OS (ubuntu with openbox) and it just does not seem to work out, can I do this the harder way ?
[02:41] <theadmin> escapeplan: We do not support unofficial derivatives, sorry.
[02:42] <theadmin> escapeplan: Maybe they have their own channel?
[02:43] <theadmin> escapeplan: Also do you have xcompmgr enabled? Might need that for those fancy docks...
[02:43] <escapeplan> xcompmgr ?
[02:43] <theadmin> escapeplan: Well, or any other compositing manager.
[02:44] <pr0ndigy> is there a way to update the newest kernel from the GNU GRUB? i can't get ubuntu normal or recovery mode to boot after installing it
[02:44] <theadmin> pr0ndigy: Boot to the old kernel then
[02:44] <pr0ndigy> how do i do that?
[02:44] <theadmin> pr0ndigy: Well, do you get to the GRUB menu? (hold left Shift on boot for that)
[02:44] <escapeplan> I'm installing xcompmgr this instant !
[02:45] <theadmin> escapeplan: Good luck, because I don't have any suggestions but that.
[02:45] <escapeplan> If I change the way I ask the question then, Is there any way to configure Docky without using gconf-editor ?
[02:46] <pr0ndigy> theadmin: yes i get to the GRUB menu, it shows Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-23-generic... and the same but (recovery mode) at the end on the 2nd line
[02:46] <theadmin> pr0ndigy: When you upgrade the kernel, the old one is not removed by default, so it normally is there in the GRUB menu. Did you remove it?
[02:47] <InferiorHumanOrg> http://www.mvktech.net/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/files/GK104_VGABIOS_GB670WF3_MOD_EXAMPLE.pdf   can someone tell me what i need to change the bottom right line on the first page to to make it 1231 instead of 1202? i know nothing about hex editing
[02:47] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: Does it not also list "Previous Linux versions" ?
[02:47] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: if so, choose that - it is a sub-menu to the older kernel installs
[02:47] <pr0ndigy> theadmin: no, this is a fresh install from the windows installer
[02:47] <theadmin> pr0ndigy: Oh dear...
[02:47] <theadmin> I'm not helping anyone with that stuff :/
[02:48] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: Have you tried the recovery option? If so, does it show boot messages before it fails?
[02:49] <pr0ndigy> IntuitiveNipple: yes, it shows messages before it fails and the caps lock starts flashing
[02:49] <theadmin> pr0ndigy: Panic. You *have* to boot to another kernel. This one will not boot.
[02:49] <theadmin> pr0ndigy: If you don't have another one, you can only reinstall pretty much.
[02:50] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: Well that's a good thing ... at least the kernel is being started... does the screen freeze and leave the messages visible (so you could photograph it) or does it reset too fast for that?
[02:50] <theadmin> IntuitiveNipple: The kernel crashes though ;)
[02:51] <pr0ndigy> theadmin: i've reinstalled 5 times already. the problem is the kernel as confirmed from online forums. i need to get kernel 3.2.0-24 installed somehow and it will be fine
[02:51] <theadmin> pr0ndigy: Maybe you should just do a sane installation instead of trying to use wubi
[02:52] <theadmin> pr0ndigy: If you can't, well, mount the wubi drive, do an  apt-get update;apt-get upgrade
[02:52] <kristenbb> does ls not work with .. ? I can see the file is there, and the shell autocompletes the filename, but when I hit enter, it says no such file or directory
[02:52] <IntuitiveNipple> theadmin: maybe not; it might be triggered by something in the initrd
[02:52] <pr0ndigy> IntuitiveNipple: yes it keeps the messages up.
[02:52] <theadmin> kristenbb: It works with .. in the folder name. Something else must be the problem
[02:53] <kristenbb> can you help me figure out what it is please ? the filename autocompletes fine
[02:53] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: On the GRUB menu, highlight the recovery option then press 'e' to edit it. You'll see a few lines including one starting "linux..." and including the word "recovery".  move the cursor to that location, delete "recovery" then replace it with "single init=/bin/bash" and then press Ctrl+X to boot the edited config... you may be lucky and reach a shell prompt. If so, that at least tells us its an init-script issue
[02:53] <theadmin> kristenbb: Well, what's the exact command you're trying?
[02:53] <samiam> Anyone know if PGP has a channel?
[02:54] <kristenbb> something like ls /home/kristen/MyDocuments/MyFolder/../myfile         where myfile is in MyDocuments. However MyFolder is a symlink, this might be the problem.
[02:55] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: If you can take a photo of the screen when it locks up... you can upload it to http://imagebin.org
[02:55] <pr0ndigy> IntuitiveNipple: do i delete "nomodeset" also?
[02:55] <theadmin> kristenbb: Yes, it probably is the problem indeed
[02:55] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: You don't need to but can... it won't affect things
[02:55] <kristenbb> how can I go back one directory, but in the original folder, rather than the symlink?
[02:57] <kristenbb> ls /home/kristen/MyDocuments/MyFolder/.. shows the contents of the parent of the symlink of MyFolder, rather than just MyDocuments.
[02:57] <W4sp> samiam: PGP was Phil Zimmerman, and is now Symantec. There's GnuPG, (gnupg.org). They are on #gpg
[02:57] <IntuitiveNipple> kristenbb: you could try using " ls `readlink -e  /home/kristen/MyDocuments/MyFolder/../myfile`  "
[02:58] <theadmin> kristenbb: pushd /home/kristen/MyDocuments/MyFolder/../ ; ls ; popd
[02:58] <kristenbb> what's the meaning of pushd/popd?
[02:58] <theadmin> kristenbb: pushd is basically "remember current directory, cd into a new one", popd = "cd back where pushd remembers"
[02:59] <kristenbb> IntuitiveNipple: yes that works too, thanks.
[02:59] <kristenbb> theadmin: that's cool. thanks. it works too.
[02:59] <IntuitiveNipple> kristenbb: readlink -e resolves all the symlinks in a path to a file that must exist
[03:00] <JoeR1> where can I find a list of the string values for the datetime?
[03:01] <IntuitiveNipple> JoeR1: do you meant the format specifiers?
[03:01] <JoeR1> yes, I suppose I do IntuitiveNipple
[03:02] <IntuitiveNipple> JoeR1: I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing, but check out (from a terminal) "man date" and look at the FORMAT section
[03:04] <cronie2285> wilee-nilee: thanks, for the link, got some improvements now!
[03:06] <JoeR1> perfect, that you IntuitiveNipple
[03:07] <mkquist> anyone know why open gl would not be enabled?
[03:08] <wilee-nilee> cronie2285, cool
[03:08] <theadmin> mkquist: Video drivers?
[03:09] <pr0ndigy> IntuitiveNipple: got the image of the screen when it fails
[03:09] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: fab... can you post it to http://imagebin.org ?
[03:09] <pr0ndigy> IntuitiveNipple: http://imagebin.org/223477
[03:09] <theadmin> Speaking of those, can anyone help with uber-slow 2D with fglrx? 3D graphics work great, but various elementary 2D stuff such as a fade in or such is slow
[03:09] <cronie2285> do you know if yum works with ubuntu?
[03:09] <theadmin> cronie2285: No, and never will. It's for Fedora only.
[03:10] <theadmin> Well and Redhat stuff
[03:10] <cronie2285> theadmin: thanks
[03:10] <cronie2285> Im used to fedora, but it's been getting harder to use lately.
[03:10] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: Could be 2 bits of good news there. I have a question. Was that error caused when you booted using the edited "linux" line which included "init=/bin/bash"  ?
[03:10] <icecube45> okay guys, my dell mini with ubuntu will not charge the battery, claiming it is not present, i get an error at startup telling me it is not recognized.... I used terminal and checked that it is in fact present
[03:11] <theadmin> cronie2285: Eh. APT is fairly easy to learn, most of yum commands will be translated to apt commands identically, yum install = apt-get install, yum remove = apt-get remove... The only r real important exception is "yum update" which translates to "apt-get update;apt-get upgrade"
[03:11] <pr0ndigy> IntuitiveNipple: yes, that is including the changes you asked me to make
[03:12] <Joe__> I am brand new to ubuntu and I tried using it today but for some reason my internet connection was terrible the whole time and after a while it gave me an Internal error does what can I do to fix it?
[03:12] <icecube45> Joe_ may just be your internet acting up
[03:12] <cronie2285> theadmin: okay, it's coming back to me, fedora used to use it years ago.
[03:12] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: OK, just making sure... I didn't expect to see the line "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ..." but I see bash is mentioned... give me a few minutes to research that for you
[03:12] <icecube45> anyone on my battry problem?
[03:12] <pr0ndigy> IntuitiveNipple: ok thx
[03:13] <theadmin> cronie2285: Really? Fedora used APT?
[03:13] <Joe__> It is fine now that I am on windows again but what about the internal error do I have to re download or what?
[03:13] <cronie2285> yeah, they switched to yum a while back.
[03:13] <GoatCheese> I am really new to linux, what is the best tut out there?
[03:13] <icecube45> GoatCheese: i recommend utube
[03:13] <theadmin> GoatCheese: The best is learning by yourself. And honestly, Ubuntu is so easy that you don't need *any* tutorial to learn it.
[03:14] <xangua> !manual | GoatCheese
[03:14] <GoatCheese> Thanks!
[03:14] <cronie2285> theadmin: I thought maybe the repos would interchange somehow.
[03:15] <louiemat> ha all- what is the easiest back up program for Ubuntu 12.04 - and the easiest to set up
[03:16] <icecube45> no answer to my battery problem?
[03:16] <theadmin> louiemat: Deja Dup comes with Ubuntu (and if not, it's in the repos), and is fairly good
[03:16] <icecube45> okay guys, my dell mini with ubuntu will not charge the battery, claiming it is not present, i get an error at startup telling me it is not recognized.... I used terminal and checked that it is in fact present
[03:17] <L3top> icecube45: There is only one battery correct?
[03:17] <icecube45> yes L3top
[03:17] <louiemat> I attemped ro set that one up and it said the data exceded
[03:18] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: Could you try again... repeat all the same steps but this time put the "init=/bin/bash" at the very end of the "linux..." line after nomodeset and anything else?
[03:18] <L3top> please pastebin the output of cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
[03:18] <icecube45> l3top: ill brb, then ill do that
[03:18] <louiemat> theadmin- how would you set it up
[03:19] <theadmin> louiemat: ...simply install it and run? You'll figure it out.
[03:19] <pr0ndigy> IntuitiveNipple: remove the recovery text too?
[03:20] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: Yes please... the reason being, I realised that when bash was started with arguments... it tried to launch those arguments (nomodeset) as a program and then exited... so it WOULD crash!
[03:20] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: So do the same... replace recovery with single
[03:20] <louiemat> theadmin-I'm a newbe I hope I can
[03:21] <theadmin> IntuitiveNipple: An emergency shell recovery line should looks simply like "kernel /vmlinuz rw init=/bin/bash"
[03:21] <theadmin> pr0ndigy: ^
[03:22] <maicod> hi if I want to backup partitions (so also the partition structure and not only tarballing the files) what is a good app?
[03:22] <theadmin> maicod: dd
[03:23] <IntuitiveNipple> theadmin: I want him to have the initrd there if this works
[03:23] <maicod> theadmin: I used it but I need to calculate myself how far the count is going (cause not all of the hdd is used by partitions)
[03:23] <pr0ndigy> IntuitiveNipple: ok trying now. here is what my GRUB looks like http://imagebin.org/223479
[03:23] <maicod> I'd rather have a gui backup program
[03:23] <theadmin> IntuitiveNipple: Well, the initrd line comes after the kernel line anyway -- that's the only thing you need on the *kernel* line.
[03:23] <luftikuss> What is a "DE mess" as in http://clipit.rspwn.com/ ?
[03:23]  * maicod knows dd :)
[03:24] <theadmin> maicod: Well, there is CloneZilla, but that's a livecd
[03:24] <maicod> thats fine !
[03:24] <maicod> I just boot it in my vmware
[03:24] <IdleOne> luftikuss: DE stands for Desktop Environment
[03:24] <maicod> thanks
[03:24]  * L3top hearts clonezilla
[03:24] <maicod> hehe
[03:24] <luftikuss> IdleOne, Thank you verymuch for your help.
[03:24] <IntuitiveNipple> pr0ndigy: That looks good
[03:25]  * maicod tried acronis (windows) first but its too dumb and doesnt know ext4 :)
[03:25] <L3top> maicod: the partition cannot be mounted
[03:25] <L3top> maicod: partition or disk
[03:25] <L3top> if cloning an entire disk
[03:25] <cronie2285> maicod: luckyBackup is a great gui app.
[03:25] <maicod> L3top: Its not mounted when I back it up don't worry :)
[03:26] <maicod> thanks cronie
[03:26] <pr0ndigy> IntuitiveNipple: it seems stuck, no flashing capslock light, but it's not doing anything else
[03:26] <theadmin> Feck it, I'm getting another IRC client >.< I'll brb
[03:27] <icecube45> L3top: both of them tell me no such file or directory
[03:28] <L3top> ls /proc/acpi/battery
[03:28] <icecube45> BAT1
[03:28] <L3top> there ya go :)
[03:28] <icecube45> ?
[03:28] <icecube45> thats my problem?
[03:29] <L3top> no icecube45... please pastebin the output of cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/info /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state
[03:29] <icecube45> o, kk
[03:29] <icecube45> gonna have 2 sudo it
[03:29] <L3top> sorry yes.
[03:29] <Belial> anyone running xorg edgers ppa know if the bug if fixed where the icons in the launcher weren't showing up?
[03:29] <cronie2285> maicod: btw, it uses the fast efficient rsync protocol.
[03:29] <icecube45> l3top, nano those?
[03:30] <L3top> No
[03:30] <L3top> I need to see them
[03:30] <icecube45> um
[03:30] <maicod> cronie: does it backup the partition structures ?
[03:30] <icecube45> command not found
[03:30] <icecube45> cat them right?
[03:30] <L3top> !pastebin | icecube45
[03:30] <icecube45> L3top: i know that
[03:31] <icecube45> L3top: i just typed it wrong XD
[03:31] <cronie2285> yeah, its on my fedora box, but ubuntu has it too
[03:31] <kristenbb> when using pushd and popd in a script, can I prevent it from writting anything to the output screen?
[03:31] <cronie2285> it does partions nicely.
[03:32] <icecube45> L3top: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1131862/
[03:32] <maicod> cronie: ok thanks will try it out
[03:32] <theadmin> Ah there we go, this is somewhat better
[03:32] <maicod> wb theadmin
[03:34] <maicod> cronie: can it backup the MBR too ?
[03:36] <icecube45|phone> L3top: away from my comp atm, u see the paste?
[03:37] <icecube45|phone> L3top?
[03:38] <L3top> yes
[03:38] <icecube45|phone> See my paste?
[03:38] <cronie2285> maicod: im checking, hang on.
[03:39] <L3top> sorry icecube45. I am having a problem on my end with DNS. Yes I saw the paste.  It gives you mAh
[03:42] <icecube45|phone> Yes i know....
[03:42] <L3top> for instance remaining capacity:      6496 mAh     is mine icecube45|phone
[03:42] <icecube45|phone> It was around that tho..
[03:42] <L3top> icecube45|phone: what you are saying doesnt make sense.
[03:42] <icecube45|phone> Sorry, im a bad explainer

[03:56] <danny> hello was wondering if someone could help me chance open gl to the default on warcraft three i found this web site and under running slow its telling me to swicth ithttp://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3126 so tell me if u understand what the site wants me to do
[03:57] <IdleOne> danny: #winehq can help you
[03:58] <theadmin> Is there a reason why sound in Ubuntu is, like... *incredibly* loud when at max volume? No other OS exhibits such noise, but I never tested with pulseaudio, could that be it?
[03:58] <QubitSmuggler> good night nerds
[03:59] <kevin> hi all. does anybody know what causes this type of error? every now and then my usb devices stop working and replugging them back in does nothing: https://gist.github.com/3270000
[03:59] <maicod> hacker ?
[04:00] <maicod> scriptkiddie
[04:02] <keith> anyone know how to make mysql start earlier?
[04:02] <keith> does upstart even support anything like that?
[04:06] <mxgpode_> hi
[04:07] <FuriousScissors> oi
[04:08] <zamn> hey how can i get java applets to work in ubuntu? I have java 7 sdk installed already
[04:08] <theadmin> zamn: that's not what you need, you need icedtea-7-plugin or icedtea-6-plugin
[04:09] <theadmin> zamn: The SDK is for developers, and that's going too far
[04:09] <zamn> theadmin: i do develop in java so the sdk is good for me. was just throwing that out there heh
[04:09] <joejc> how do i check how much memory my graphics card has?
[04:11] <maicod> do I need to install .deb with apt-get too?
[04:11] <theadmin> joejc: grep -i memory /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[04:11] <theadmin> maicod: No, use gdebi or dpkg
[04:11] <maicod> theadmin: OK
[04:11] <maicod> thx
[04:11] <luftikuss> theadmin, My maximum sound level in Ubuntu 12.04is not »incredibly« loud but rather normal.
[04:13] <theadmin> luftikuss: Well, I'm on Kubuntu 12.04 here and it's louder than elsewhere. It's not too loud, it's acceptable and sounds fairly good, but way louder than it was in, say, Arch.
[04:14] <IntuitiveNipple> theadmin: pr0ndigy problem is in the 12.04 release notes: the Dell XPS 1340 has an onboard infra-red receiver and its driver needs blacklisting (ite_cir) until a later kernel is installed with the fixed driver module
[04:14] <theadmin> Well that would be incredibly simple, just dump a /etc/modprobe.d/its.conf with "blacklist ite_cir"
[04:14] <theadmin> Don't even have to boot
[04:15] <theadmin> Or, boot with ite_cir.blacklist=yes
[04:15] <IntuitiveNipple> theadmin: Which is what we've done
[04:16] <theadmin> IntuitiveNipple: Oh.
[04:17] <c_nick> Hey can someone do me a favor ?
[04:17] <IntuitiveNipple> theadmin: useful info in case anyone else reports the same issue
[04:17] <c_nick> i need an MP3 song but because its blocked i need someone to download and mail to me :D
[04:17] <theadmin> IntuitiveNipple: Not that I'd remember
[04:18] <theadmin> c_nick: Offtopic here, but PM me
[04:18] <c_nick> ok
[04:19] <IntuitiveNipple> theadmin: this channel is logged... a Google search might well bring it up for someone else in the future
[04:20] <theadmin> IntuitiveNipple: Ah, indeed.
[04:20] <IntuitiveNipple> I've benefited from that in the past, saved hours of messing about
[04:21] <Treaver> Can anyone tell me how to get Netflix on Ubuntu?
[04:21] <theadmin> Treaver: Divide by 0. (It's impossible)
[04:21] <jiohdi_> Treaver, can't be done because of that DMR thing silverlight has it  moonlight not so much
[04:22] <jiohdi_> however  oddly enough you can get it on android
[04:22] <kingston>  /join #piratenpartei
[04:23] <Treaver> Can someone tell me a site I can watch movies on Ubuntu because I have subscription to Netflix but can't use it :(
[04:23] <jiohdi_> movie2k.to
[04:23] <kingston> pardon. that was a mistake
[04:24] <jiohdi_> not sure of the legalities though
[04:24] <IntuitiveNipple> Treaver: You should be able to do it from a Virtual Machine with Windows and IE9/Silverlight installed
[04:25] <Treaver> thanks
[04:26] <IntuitiveNipple> Treaver: I found this: http://code.johnpbloch.com/2012/03/how-to-watch-netflix-instant-on-ubuntu/
[04:29] <luftikuss> theadmin, I am using GNOME Shell 3.4 and cannot confirm your Kubuntu findings.
[04:30] <theadmin> luftikuss: I see
[04:32] <L3top> theadmin: I am running kubuntu 1204 and do not have this issue.
[04:32] <theadmin> L3top: Hm, okay... I dunno then.
[04:32] <L3top> theadmin: in fact on this laptop I have 1004 and 1204, and they are the same.
[04:32] <theadmin> L3top: Um, they're not the same... But I get what you mean :D
[04:32] <L3top> equivelant volume I meant ;P
[04:33] <InferiorHumanOrg> i know this isnt really ubuntu related but can someone answer some hex edit questions for me? I need an expert
[04:34] <danny_> so ive done a lil more research cause no one knows how to change warcraft to run with open gl and i found this command env WINEPREFIX="/home/<yourname>/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -opengl but it now says it cannot find it i am running kubuntu 12.04 with the newest version of wine
[04:35] <jiohdi_> the c directory is under .wine directory
[04:35] <_skpl> can someone help me? when i click on an app in the launcher it doesnt show up, running apps i mean, they wont fopcus
[04:36] <theadmin> danny_: Wrong slashes.
[04:36] <theadmin> danny_: Not "C:\Program Files\..." but "C:/Program Files/"...
[04:36] <danny_> theadmin: ok ill give her a shot
[04:36] <jiohdi_> _skpl if you type the name into a temrinal it will tell you why it does not open
[04:37] <aaas> any way to stream some flash content (justin.tv) over the network from a server ....i was thinking ov vlc but vlc doesn't start over a remote connection (x2go)?
[04:37] <n2diy> what all do I need to watch youtube? I installed restricted extras, but I'm still getting missing plug in messages?
[04:38] <theadmin> n2diy: You just need the flash plugin really, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[04:39] <danny_> theadmin: still didnt work any other suggestions ?
[04:39] <theadmin> danny_: Well, wine isn't supported here anyway, go to #winehq and ask them. Don't expect Windows apps to work well. They won't.
[04:40] <bfig> hello, i'm having trouble with alsa and my mic. i believe the computer cries at the fact that i have hdmi output too, so it appears as if i had two cards. any ideas about what could be going on?
[04:41] <aaas> bfig i think you can run gnome-alsaconfig and disable the other one
[04:41] <aaas> bfig there are ways to disable hdmi i just don't remember how... have to mess with some /etc files google disabling hdmi 12.04 or something like that
[04:41] <bfig> i don't have gnome-alsaconfig
[04:41] <aaas> bfig install it with apt-get
[04:41] <bfig> aaas, but the thing is this, i dont' know if this is the problem. do you have an intuition that it is?
[04:41] <n2diy> theadmin, ok, but is that going to give me conflicts with shockwave flash?
[04:42] <theadmin> n2diy: Uh, it *is* Shockwave (or, rather, Adobe) Flash
[04:42] <aaas> bfig hmmm
[04:42] <david_chen> anyone play Trine2 on ubuntu12.04？I have installed it ,but it can't run
[04:42] <aaas> bfig i know i've had problems with that before too, but i'm not certain either
[04:43] <aaas> bfig but if you don't use hdmi you can disable it to make sure
[04:43] <bfig> how could i test and make sure it was that or at least rule out other alternative problems? i'm convinced 1)the mic hardware works, 2) alsa is not configured correctly
[04:43] <n2diy> theadmin, ok, I'll give t a try,  thanks.
[04:43] <bfig> i use hdmi some times, so i would ideally prefer to avoid that option
[04:43] <aaas> bfig in dealing with these problems if you don't have any log errors or errors to help you along the way the only real thing you can do is try things to get more info
[04:44] <bfig> well, i know i can't do arecord
[04:44] <aaas> bfig if you disable hdmi and it works great, if not at least you know it's not that
[04:44] <bfig> yes, you're right
[04:44] <aaas> bfig your monitor doesn' have a builtin mic does it?
[04:45] <bfig> it's a laptop
[04:46] <bfig> so it's everything built in
[04:46] <aaas> bfig ah, what makes you think it's hdmi then, do you have something plugged into hdmi?
[04:47] <L3top> bfig: can I see the output of sudo aplay -l
[04:47] <L3top> bfig: in a pastebin please
[04:47] <m1chael> hello, does anyone knows how to disable gnome alert sounds from terminal and not from sound control panel. backspace sound in nautilus is annoying and i wish to stop it. the reason why not to useing sound panel is that i don't use pulseaudio so without it it can't mute it from there.
[04:48] <bfig> sure, one second
[04:48] <bfig> aaas, well, it doesn't show anything... and i have hdmi sound whenever i connect the hdmi port...
[04:49] <aaas> bfig ah it was gnome-alsamixer if you want to disable hdmi (i think it will let you disable)
[04:49] <bfig> http://hpaste.org/72674 L3top
[04:51] <L3top> bfig:  you have exactly what you are supposed to... a digital and an analog "card".
[04:51] <L3top> What is the actual problem... perhaps I missed it
[04:51] <bfig> my mic is not working
[04:51] <L3top> ah...
[04:51] <BullittEV> after editing grub, changing "quiet splash" to "text" for the boot to a CLI, when i use the startx command, it starts a GUI but its not fluxbox (what i have set) and not anything actually, just allows me to open a folder and look through files
[04:51] <BullittEV> is startx not the correct command? (I've only used slackware in the past)
[04:52] <theadmin> BullittEV: Write an .xinitrc and use xinit.
[04:52] <theadmin> BullittEV: Simpliest way I can think of
[04:52] <bfig> i am running debian 64 bit, i installed the 32 bit alsa lib and it worked for a while, then stopped working again
[04:52] <bfig> now, about that debian thing... it should be the same :p
[04:52] <theadmin> bfig: #debian :/
[04:52] <BullittEV> theadmin is a bot?
[04:52] <bfig> doubt it, he answered too slow :p
[04:52] <theadmin> bfig: Do y ou have any ideas how much difference in software versions is between Debian Stable and Ubuntu? TOO much to handle.
[04:52] <BullittEV> lol not sure if he is right
[04:52] <L3top> bfig: This is a common complaint on laptops. Mine probably doesnt work either. In a terminal open alsamixer    make sure that your mic volume is not muted, and that it is at an appropriate level in firstly.
[04:53] <theadmin> BullittEV: I'm not a bot.
[04:53] <BullittEV> oh ok
[04:53] <BullittEV> i remember getting an answer from a bot the other day so wasn't sure.
[04:53] <theadmin> BullittEV: The only bot that talks here is ubottu
[04:53] <bfig> mic volume is not muted
[04:53] <BullittEV> ahh ok
[04:53] <bfig> i spent a good five or so hours touching alsabase.conf and playing with the mixer
[04:54] <BullittEV> theadmin: do you know the name of the file that allowed me to change to text mode? wanted to change it back to normal.
[04:54] <bfig> with help from somebody at #debian
[04:54] <L3top> bfig: Good luck then. Afraid that that is where you will ahve to return. Debian is not supported here.
[04:54] <theadmin> BullittEV: Uh, GRUB configs are normally in /etc/default/grub, and the line you're looking for should start with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[04:54] <theadmin> BullittEV: Make sure to run update-grub after saving it
[04:54] <m1chael> hello, does anyone knows how to disable gnome alert sounds from terminal and not from sound control panel. backspace sound in nautilus is annoying and i wish to stop it. the reason why not to useing sound panel is that i don't use pulseaudio so without it it can't mute it from there.
[04:54] <BullittEV> theadmin: yes, that's right, thanks.
[04:54] <Tm_T> bfig: hi, this is not debian support channel (:
[04:55] <bfig> but this problem should be the same in both
[04:55] <bfig> the problem is already omre or less isolated: alsamixer configuration
[04:55] <aaas> bfig are you running debian or ubuntu?
[04:55] <bfig> and debian is like 90% ubuntu anyway
[04:55] <theadmin> bfig: You have NO idea how wrong you are.
[04:55] <BullittEV> theadmin: also, would you use that file to set the boot into text? then write an xinit for fluxbox ?
[04:55] <Tm_T> bfig: hi, this is not debian support channel (: (I don't like repeating though)
[04:55] <bfig> would you say how sound works is really different theadmin ?
[04:56] <theadmin> BullittEV: I'd use that file to set boot to text, then use Qingy (a CLI-based login manager) :P
[04:56] <L3top> bfig:  it is not supported. It is not supported for reasons you clearly do not understand... but your willingness to accept that notwithstanding... this is an unsupported distribution, and you are going offtopic.
[04:56] <bfig> just forget that i said debian, think about ubuntu 64 bits
[04:56] <Tm_T> bfig: also let's continue this discussion some other channel than this, thanks
[04:56] <bfig> which channel do you suggest?
[04:56] <L3top> !debian
[04:56] <theadmin> bfig: #debian
[04:57] <bfig> theadmin, i don't see you there
[04:57] <silverarrow> what is default DVD / video player in 12.04?
[04:58] <theadmin> bfig: I ain't there, but that's where you ask Debian stuff.
[04:58] <theadmin> silverarrow: Totem
[04:59] <bfig> ahh.. whatever >_>
[04:59] <aaas> bfig i can *try* and help
[04:59] <bfig> thanks for the ideas anyway
[04:59] <aaas> bfig ill msg you
[04:59] <silverarrow> theadmin, thanks
[04:59] <Tm_T> bfig: #ubuntu is busy channel already enough, so let's not have any offtopic chatter here please, you can try discussing the difference about ubuntu and debian on #ubuntu-offtopic for example
[05:00] <bfig> ok, well, thanks everyone who tried to help, i'll go back to #debian
[05:12] <striker10> hi there everyone!
[05:16] <caixa> ubuntu = king
[05:18] <kukulambar> caixa: i use ubuntu since version 5 :-)
[05:20] <mrgenixu1> i'd like to install nvidia-96 (I have an mx440) but there is a blocking package I don't recognize
[05:21] <mrgenixu1> xorg-video-abi-10 is the blocking package
[05:21] <mrgenixu1> it seems xorg-video-abi-10 is unavailable
[05:22] <cfhowlett> mrgenixu1: apt-cache policy shows installed/candidate: none
[05:23] <wilee-nilee> 7 mins to touchdown mars lander http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html
[05:23] <xiambax> http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/nasatv/
[05:23] <mrgenixu1> so, the package doesn't exist? -> I can't have nvidia-96 because it depends on non-existent packages?
[05:23] <xiambax> :D
[05:24] <cfhowlett> mrgenixu1: doesn't seem to exist *in ubuntu repositories*.
[05:24] <theadmin> mrgenixu1: Do you have the restricted repo enabled?
[05:24] <mrgenixu1> cfhowlett: xrog/gtk/gnome/unity runs like crap without the driver; I've got to find a way to make this work.  Any ideas would be a huge help
[05:25] <Gyro54> Hi!
[05:25] <mrgenixu1> theadmin: how do I check for restricted repos
[05:25] <theadmin> mrgenixu1: You normally just install "nvidia-current" to get NVidia stuff running.
[05:25] <theadmin> mrgenixu1: Specific versions may depend on stuff that's already missing...
[05:25] <mrgenixu1> ah, but nvidia-current is not compat with my hw ( theadmin )
[05:25] <theadmin> mrgenixu1: Hm...
[05:25] <mrgenixu1> I need pre-legacy
[05:26] <mrgenixu1> theadmin: but how do I check for the restricted repo?
[05:26] <theadmin> mrgenixu1: Never mind. I have the same issue, I have all the repos enabled. Seems your only option is to contact the repo mantainers.
[05:27] <mrgenixu1> .... theadmin ...
[05:27] <mrgenixu1> I've been around linux for a long time, but I have no idea how to do that
[05:27] <theadmin> mrgenixu1: Meh, me neither :D
[05:28] <theadmin> mrgenixu1: Maybe you can just get the driver off nvidia.com somehow?
[05:28] <mrgenixu1> yeah, that's great, but I don't maintain the system; I need a package or the driver will have to be run manually after every kernel change
[05:28] <mrgenixu1> I have several large, sharp sticks here
[05:28] <mrgenixu1> I can probably put them in my eye
[05:28] <medajke> hi
[05:29] <mrgenixu1> medajke: hi -- back
[05:29] <cfhowlett> medajke: greetings
[05:29] <mrgenixu1> its official; I want to slap nvidia for doing this. I've no doubt its their fault
[05:29] <medajke> It's my first time here
[05:29] <medajke> never use ubuntu early
[05:30] <theadmin> mrgenixu1: No, it's the Ubuntu repo mantainers' fault in this case.
[05:30] <medajke> can U help me
[05:30] <theadmin> mrgenixu1: NVidia are far better than AMD, trust me.
[05:30] <cfhowlett> medajke: welcome.  this is the support channel.  Have you a specific ubuntu problem?  please state issue?
[05:30] <theadmin> medajke: Just ask the questions.
[05:30] <mrgenixu1> theadmin: oh, preachin' to the choir
[05:30] <mrgenixu1> medajke: I'm pretty sure I can't help
[05:30] <medajke> how I can to install wine for my ubuntu 12.04
[05:30] <mrgenixu1> wine has a great guide on their site
[05:30] <theadmin> medajke: Simple! Open the Software Center, search for Wine, install it
[05:31] <DarkAceZ> error: file not found. Grub rescue:
[05:31] <cfhowlett> medajke: best method is software center
[05:31] <DarkAceZ> now what?
[05:31] <DarkAceZ> on boot, or, before boot.
[05:31] <DarkAceZ> Ubuntu 12.04, or, it used to be.
[05:31] <theadmin> DarkAceZ: Seems like you're missing a kernel image.
[05:31] <mrgenixu1> DarkAceZ:  sounds like your grub isn't installed to wher it was, or it got deleted
[05:31] <medajke> I can't like that's from Software center... some problems ((
[05:31] <mrgenixu1> medajke: I'm pretty sure wine has a great guide on their site: http://winehq.com
[05:32] <theadmin> medajke: Oh, okay, then open a terminal, type "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo apt-get install wine".
[05:32] <DarkAceZ> this is now what my laptop's OS looks like: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22806246/Screencaps/OS12041.png
[05:32] <mrgenixu1> IIRC, they have a seperate repo they distribute from
[05:32] <cfhowlett> paste
[05:32] <cfhowlett> !paste
[05:32] <theadmin> mrgenixu1: Wine only has official repos for fairly old Ubuntu versions, wine is in the official Ubuntu archives now.
[05:32] <medajke> ok wait theadmin
[05:32] <DarkAceZ> theadmin, mrgenixu1, so, reinstall the whole OS?
[05:32] <mrgenixu1> theadmin: AWESOME!
[05:32] <mrgenixu1> theadmin: no.
[05:32] <cfhowlett> DarkAceZ: use imagebin.org to paste images.
[05:33] <mrgenixu1> er XD nvm theadmin |  DarkAceZ you need a livecd
[05:33] <mrgenixu1> you should be able to repair grub
[05:33] <theadmin> Ohwait, seems like winehq.org mantainers woke up and made repos for Precise
[05:33] <theadmin> But still, the official repos' wine is just fine
[05:35] <mrgenixu1> XD -- connection oddness -- DarkAceZ , you can probably save your install
[05:35] <mrgenixu1> DarkAceZ:  did anything precipitate the issue?
[05:35] <DarkAceZ> mrgenixu1, really? what about all the other data? On my 10.04 OS, it shows what's in that screenshot, but when I "ls /" from grub, it gives me much more, and I only notice that my /home/justin is missing... (My one and only home folder)
[05:35] <Gyro54> I am setting up a new 12.04 install to use as a clone for all our office machines. Is it best to use root as the original user name?
[05:36] <mrgenixu1> likely, your home folder is in an unmounted (and seperate) partition
[05:36] <cfhowlett> DarkAceZ: agree that your data is likely still there.  don't despair.  do a grub recovery
[05:36] <DarkAceZ> so,most likely none of my data is gone?
[05:36] <DarkAceZ> ah
[05:37] <cfhowlett> DarkAceZ: first rule of ubuntu - chill out.
[05:37] <DarkAceZ> Okay, get the disc to recover?
[05:37] <mrgenixu1> DarkAceZ: yeah
[05:37] <wad> Is anyone paying attention to the Mars landing? Did it land?
[05:37] <DarkAceZ> :P
[05:37] <theadmin> wad: Offtopic.
[05:37] <cfhowlett> wad: off topic
[05:37] <cfhowlett> !ot|wad
[05:37] <dumbguy> can somebody please tell me how do i drop to command line in lubuntu
[05:37] <Pici> wad: we're discussing it in -ot
[05:37] <mrgenixu1> 'drop' ?? dumbguy
[05:38] <cfhowlett> dumbguy: you mean start a terminal?
[05:38] <theadmin> dumbguy: Do you want to boot into a text-only session?
[05:38] <mrgenixu1> dumbguy: I think you want to either run an term or ctrl+alt+f1
[05:38] <dumbguy> yes
[05:38] <wilee-nilee> wad, yep showing images of mars on nasa
[05:38] <Relondo> dumbguy: If you mean a drop-down terminal, there's a great application called Guake in the software center.
[05:38] <DarkAceZ> but why is very little random bits of my data showing in 10.04?
[05:38] <dumbguy> boot to commandline interface
[05:38] <theadmin> !text | dumbguy
[05:38] <vvpalin> io is the hardest thing to master i swear
[05:38] <DarkAceZ> when mounted in my 10.04*
[05:39] <mrgenixu1> DarkAceZ: its hard to say, without seeing the system
[05:39] <Gyro54> dumbguy: ctr, alt, T
[05:39] <mrgenixu1> DarkAceZ: don't focus on that
[05:39] <mrgenixu1> DarkAceZ: just focus on getting the system booting
[05:39] <cfhowlett> DarkAceZ: one issue at a time.  First fix the grub so you can boot...
[05:39] <vvpalin> wilee-nilee, where are pictures ?
[05:39] <DarkAceZ> okay, I'll get, and boot from the disc then.
[05:39] <dumbguy> ubottu thanks i will try that
[05:40] <icecube45> XD
[05:40] <wilee-nilee> http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html vvpalin
[05:40] <icecube45> Ikr :D
[05:40] <icecube45> first picture :D
[05:40] <icecube45> of a wheel...
[05:41] <vvpalin> it made it thats all that matters
[05:41] <icecube45> Yes i know
[05:41] <icecube45> :D
[05:41] <icecube45> time to reloase the cables
[05:41] <icecube45> actually
[05:41] <icecube45> it has touched
[05:41] <icecube45> hasnt made it yet
[05:42] <theadmin> Stop with the mars stuff everyone, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE FOR IT.
[05:42] <Relondo> Is there any reason why Cinnamon would be VERY slow on Ubuntu 12.04?
[05:42] <theadmin> Relondo: Do you have your graphic drivers installed? Cinnamon is very 3D accelerated, so you'll need a decent video card and the official drivers for it.
[05:43] <DarkAceZ> discs, discs, everywhere
[05:44] <mrgenixu1> well, thanks, theadmin, and others, for help; I think I'm going to have to tell my users that the system has passed beyound use as a graphical system, except in a capacity as a hobiest platform
[05:44] <DarkAceZ> might be a while until I find the live CD :P
[05:44] <Relondo> theadmin: Well, I have two laptops. One is mine, which defaults to Unity but runs Cinnamon just fine, and the other is configured for my younger brother, who I just managed to get to use Linux. His runs Windows XP far better than Cinnamon, and that is scary.
[05:44] <Relondo> theadmin: That extra info was really unnecessary. Sorry about that.
[05:44] <theadmin> Relondo: Well, that doesn't tell me *anything*. Just open the "Additional Drivers" tool and see if your video card drivers can be found there.
[05:44] <cfhowlett> Relondo: same make/model/hardware?
[05:45] <Gyro54> I would like to clone several computers from a master. Should I use "root" as the original user or does it not matter?
[05:46] <Relondo> I definitely need to explain better, sorry. Different models, I was just using mine as an example, in case you were to say it was a 12.04 problem.
[05:46] <theadmin> Gyro54: Ubuntu typically doesn't have a root account enabled.
[05:46] <Relondo> And the older laptop has full driver support.
[05:46] <Raiga> Hello everyone
[05:46] <cfhowlett> !OEM|Gyro54
[05:46] <icecube45> how do i set the default window manager (set it to compiz)?
[05:46] <theadmin> Relondo: Okay look. Go to the laptop where it doesn't work. Open the menu. Find "Additional Drivers". Open the app. Search for videocard related stuff. Activate that.
[05:47] <cfhowlett> Gyro54: maybe the OEM installation might be best?
[05:47] <cfhowlett> Raiga: greetings
[05:47] <Relondo> theadmin: Yep. All the driversare active.
[05:47] <icecube45> anyone?.....     Compiz is so fun :D
[05:48] <theadmin> icecube45: Just make your desktop environment start "compiz --replace" on startup.
[05:48] <Raiga> I just installed Ubuntu (again) and now I think I'll actually take the time to learn how to use it
[05:48] <theadmin> Relondo: Hm, okay... That's... sad. Because I can't think of anything else.
[05:48] <icecube45> theadmin: i did that... i thought there would be a better way
[05:48] <icecube45> theadmin: thanks tho :D
[05:48] <theadmin> icecube45: Might be, lol, I have no idea, depends on your desktop
[05:49] <DebolazW> Raiga: Good choice. :)
[05:49] <icecube45> theadmin: ill search around, thanks
[05:49] <Gyro54> Thanks
[05:49] <icecube45> Ubottu: gotta love you, i know you arnt intellegent..
[05:50] <Relondo> theadmin: Hm. Do any other Desktop Environments feel that similar to Windows?
[05:50] <theadmin> Relondo: Uh. KDE?
[05:50] <cfhowlett> Relondo: depends on which windows you mean.  XP and XFCE are rather similar.  KDE aspires to the Mac-like
[05:51] <icecube45> o quick question, my default menu bar, changed to a different one randomly... what could cause this? it happened after installing compiz, but there are no settings for that
[05:51] <hellyeah> hey
[05:51] <cfhowlett> hellyeah: welcome back
[05:51] <DarkAceZ> !CD
[05:51] <hellyeah> can i ask question about btrfs no one there in btrfs channel
[05:52] <Raiga> Debolazw: Well at first I didn't mind windows, then I had to wipe my hard drive in order to get it back to a usable state (I just rewrote Ubuntu over everything). And I'm in the process of reinstalling and reconfiguring windows. I had to install a bunch of drivers that  Ubuntu didn't even need to begin with, and when I was trying to bulk up on anti-virus and anti-malware, my computer started acting up again. Long story short, it seems as if I j
[05:52] <Raiga> ust actually learn Ubuntu then I'll never run into any problems like that.
[05:52] <bond_> is there a way to know if a process is terminated or not? (i am not talking about child process)
[05:52] <Relondo> theadmin, cfhowlett: I've used KDE before, and it feels very Mac-like to me. LXDE is fast and reminiscent of Windows XP, but very ugly. I will have to look into XFCE.
[05:53] <cfhowlett> Relondo: fyi, the newest xfce will appear in 12.10 but may be available now via PPA
[05:53] <samholmes> I'm running an ubuntu server. How can I change my server's timezone settings to UTC?
[05:53] <IntuitiveNipple> bond_: You can look at the process list using "ps -ef" or do "psgrep <someprocessname>" to look for running instances
[05:53] <cfhowlett> Raiga:  so you want to dual boot windows and ubuntu or ubuntu only?
[05:53] <icecube45> IntuitiveNipple: i use ps x
[05:54] <IntuitiveNipple> bond_: correction... typo... "pgrep <someprocessname>"
[05:54] <theadmin> samholmes: ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime
[05:54] <Lebby1> IntuitiveNipple: pgrep return process id
[05:54] <Relondo> cfhowlett: Alright. Also, does Linux Mint use the Ubuntu repositories?
[05:54] <bond_> IntuitiveNipple: I need to run three commands, and even if one of the commands terminate i should be notified
[05:54] <theadmin> Relondo: Mint is not supported here.
[05:54] <cfhowlett> !mint|relondo
[05:54] <icecube45> How can i move a window to a different workspace?
[05:55] <theadmin> icecube45: Normally by dragging it to the edge of the current one
[05:55] <Relondo> theadmin, cfhowlett: Yes, I know, just thought one of you might be able to answer the one question...
[05:55] <IntuitiveNipple> bond_: I'd suggest writing a shell script that starts them and reports if they fail
[05:55] <theadmin> Relondo: The answer is "yes".
[05:55] <icecube45> theadmin: doesnt work
[05:55] <Relondo> theadmin: Thanks.
[05:55] <Lebby1> icecube45:  right click on title bar -> move to
[05:55] <Relondo> theadmin, cfhowlett: Well, thanks to both of you for your help. Later.
[05:55] <bond_> IntuitiveNipple: yeah, i know that part. But, how exactly?
[05:55] <icecube45> Lebby1: thanks!
[05:56] <Raiga> cfhowlett: I'm dual booting at the moment, but I might have to reinstall Windows again. But really, I think the next computer that I get, I'll build. And I'll just run a linux distro on it instead of paying for windows. The problem I'm having is now, after installing several antivirus programs and a sandbox utility, I'm not sure where it happened, but I'm getting a lot of issues with my wireless connection and windows network and sharing center
[05:56] <Raiga>  freezes up intermittently
[05:56] <samholmes> how do I check the current timezone?
[05:56] <cfhowlett> Relondo: good luck have fun
[05:56] <lotuspsychje> anyone knows a solution for corrupt square mouse pointer at first boot?
[05:56] <icecube45> Just throwing stuff out here that i have encountered... Prefix not set on wubi install?
[05:57] <cfhowlett> Raiga: for best results and peace of mind, install windows before ubuntu.  note that the LAST installed OS controls the bootloader and Windows doesn't play nice with other.
[05:57] <cfhowlett> raiga several AV's?  Conflicting permissions would be my guess.
[05:57] <Lebby1> samholmes:  date
[05:58] <Raiga> cfhowlett: That's what I did, and Ubuntu does a nice job of giving a bootload
[05:58] <Raiga> I like the interface :D
[05:58] <samholmes> "Mon Aug  6 07:58:06 CEST 2012" That's not UTC?
[05:58] <IntuitiveNipple> bond_:  use trap. see http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_12_02.html
[05:58] <cfhowlett> Raiga: EXcellent.
[05:59] <Lebby1> samholmes:  cest is utc+1
[05:59] <Raiga> I installed multiple antivirus programs on the recommendation of a friend
[05:59] <Raiga> although I guess sandboxing alone would take care of the problem
[05:59] <cfhowlett> Raiga: AV's on ubuntu?
[05:59] <Raiga> no
[05:59] <Lebby1> samholmes:  i hope but you can verify searching on web
[05:59] <Raiga> windows 7
[05:59] <cfhowlett> Raiga: ok, well, what to say?
[05:59] <samholmes> Lebby1: But I ran theadmin's command which was suppose to change my timezone to UTC
[05:59] <Raiga> I'm not even worried about viruses on ubuntu
[06:00] <Raiga> at the very least, if I actually did get infected, it would take me less than an hour to reinstall
[06:00] <Lebby1> samholmes:  then run: dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
[06:01] <samholmes> I can't seem to find UTC in that command
[06:01] <samholmes> when I run dpkg-reconfigure
[06:01] <danielcg25> HOLY SHIT
[06:01] <danielcg25> SPACE
[06:02] <Raiga> cfhowlett, really my only question would be, How does code-blocks compare to Visual Studio 2012
[06:02] <Raiga> ?
[06:02] <samholmes> Lebby: Nevermind I found it actually.
[06:02] <Lebby> samholmes:  :)
[06:02] <cfhowlett> Raiga: IDK.
[06:02] <danielcg25> A robot just literally landed on Mars 5 minutes ago.
[06:02] <cfhowlett> !ot|danielcg25 understand you're excited but you're also OT
[06:03] <danielcg25> sorry
[06:03] <Raiga> cfhowlett: hmmm, lol. Oh well, I own a copy of windows, so I'll use it if I must. Otherwise, the Next weeks between now and the start of College will be spent learning hardcore Ubuntu
[06:03] <Lebby> danielcg25:  tnx about info! :D
[06:03] <bond_> IntuitiveNipple: Actually, I have to run three commands in the background. These are processes that continue to execute for a long time. And my requirement is to wait on these processes and if any of them exits, i'll have to run that command again.
[06:03] <danielcg25> NASA.gov
[06:03] <DarkAceZ> cfhowlett, mrgenixu1, you guys going to be on in 5-10 hours? I can't find the disc and I gotta sleep, so I'll download it, and try this tomorrow.
[06:03] <cfhowlett> Raiga: very best of luck.
[06:04] <cfhowlett> DarkAceZ: someone will be here
[06:04] <IntuitiveNipple> bond_: so you want them to automatically respawn
[06:04] <DarkAceZ> but they will know what I was doing?
[06:04] <Raiga> cfhowlett: thanks
[06:04] <cfhowlett> DarkAceZ: pretty sure you can explain, you silver tongued devil, you ...
[06:05] <DarkAceZ> XD
[06:05] <DarkAceZ> okay
[06:05] <DarkAceZ> but not everyone here is willing to help...
[06:05] <cfhowlett> DarkAceZ: faith you must have...
[06:05] <Lebby> DarkAceZ:  don't worry ... one problem at time :)
[06:05] <antonio_> Is there a really good productivity program for ubuntu (timer, notes, etc)?
[06:06] <bond_> IntuitiveNipple: No, I can do it using scripting. The real problem is to wait on all the three processes simultaneosly and resume if any one of them terminate/stop/abort
[06:06] <Lebby> antonio_: what kind of program are you interested?
[06:06] <DarkAceZ> well then, night.
[06:07] <Lebby> DarkAceZ:  sweet dreams!
[06:07] <IntuitiveNipple> bond_: I'd think I'd use trap for SIGEXIT and SIGABORT and other similar signals, and run a command that checks which process has stopped using pgrep and then restart it
[06:07] <antonio_> lebby: I want a kind of alarm to go off every 25 minutes to remind me to take a break...
[06:07] <antonio_> lebby: also if this program had some kind of todo lists would be awesome
[06:07] <Lebby> antonio_:  alarm-clock
[06:07] <Lebby> antonio_:  enjoy!
[06:08] <Lebby> antonio_:  alarm-clock has a list of event
[06:09] <Lebby> antonio_:  if you want something of more complex ... you can use lighting ( related to thundirbird ) or ... Google calendar ... but i thing that for a 25 min alarm, alarm-clock is enough and for a todo list, a sticky note could be more productive !
[06:10] <Lebby> antonio_:  sorry for typo ... :/
[06:10] <IntuitiveNipple> bond_ if you are running the processes in the background you could consider writing an upstart config for them
[06:12] <trune> anyone here speak portuguese?
[06:12] <bond_> InvalidHandle: Can u mention a link for the same?
[06:13] <caixa> trune, a lil
[06:13] <trune> can you read it well caixa?
[06:13] <DebolazW> trune: #ubuntu-pt if you need support in portugese.
[06:13] <trune> ty
[06:13] <caixa> trune, i can speak it fluently, but not the best at reading/writing
[06:14] <trune> just have this question im trying to answer, but google translate is confusing me
[06:14] <caixa> what is it?
[06:14] <trune> ill pm you
[06:14] <caixa> ok
[06:30] <samholmes> I figured out that C-a q C-d is the only way I found out to terminate a screen session
[06:30] <samholmes> is there a way to do it when you aren't in a screen session?
[06:30] <FrankLv> C-a q C-d is detach the screen session, not terminate
[06:31] <Gyro54> Is there an OEM version of the office mix 12.04?
[06:38] <Gyro54> Is the alternate iso the correct choice for an OEM install?
[06:39] <onetwo> hey guys, can someone pls pls help me run league of legends on my kubuntu 12.04?pls
[06:39] <icecube45> quit
[06:39] <onetwo> quit what?
[06:42] <RyanP> yeh
[06:43] <timClicks> slightly n00b Q, but when I SSH into a server and run a command, how can I get the command to continue to run after I exit?
[06:43] <antonio_> has anyone ever used the osmo personal organizer program?
[06:46] <AzzIzzA> timClicks: check out "nohup", "screen" and maybe tmux (?)
[06:46] <timClicks> AzzIzzA: ty
[06:47] <AzzIzzA> oh, and the using "&" for fork a process into the background
[06:47] <highbuzz> Anyone know what could be causing this upon boot? When I boot, this happens: http://i.imgur.com/6PbvE.jpg
[06:47] <highbuzz> it's a fresh install
[06:50] <blazing> how can i get kmail to run in the background so it periodically checks email
[06:50] <AzzIzzA> highbuzz: what do you see before that? do you get the grub menu? the start up text? I'm reasonably sure it is something using incorrect video settings, but not sure whether it would be , grub, X or the framebuffer console
[06:50] <blazing> i dont want to manually open the program at start up,
[06:51] <AzzIzzA> although my first guess would be X
[06:51] <blazing> and i want it to be in the tray
[06:51] <highbuzz> AzzIzzA: I don't see anything, GRUB doesn't even load up. I can't alter the video settings (or I don't know how rather) because it doesn't give me the option. I had to use the alternative CD to even install because this would happen if I tried the liveCD as well
[06:55] <AzzIzzA> highbuzz: ok, out of my league I'm afraid, I'm more of a slackware guy in general. It is strange though, the fact that you don't see grub suggests it is grub that is messing up the display, but I'm fairly sure that the livecd just uses syslinux without grub
[06:56] <AzzIzzA> as a quick and dirty fix, can you replace the graphics card (pref. with one using a different brand of chip)
[06:58] <highbuzz> I don't have another brand of card unfortunately. thanks for answering though! I'll post on the forums tomorrow and see if I can get a work around with the card I have. i've heard nvidia cards sometimes don't like to play nice.. guess that turned out to be true
[06:59] <Raiga> nvidia is the most user friendly card I've personally came across
[07:02] <highbuzz> works fine in windows
[07:02] <highbuzz> they're not that great with linux
[07:05] <peetaur> Some Ubuntu 10 virtual servers in a proxmox KVM virtual host started saying all the passwords expired. But Ubuntu 12 didn't seem to do this. Is this a known problem?
[07:08] <whyohwhy> Hello Everyone! We've upgraded some of our servers to 12.04 recently, and i've noticed that when I run nmap from some other server to check open ports on these 12.04 servers it take WAY longer that before. is this a known issue?
[07:08] <subdesign> how to easly list what apps are installed on my system? after an os reinstall i dont want to miss them
[07:09] <DJones> !cloning | subdesign I think this will give you a text file of what has been installed,
[07:10] <subdesign> omg thats an answer, thx
[07:10] <DJones> subdesign: Heh, your welcome
[07:10] <subdesign> and you were quick too
[07:10] <subdesign> ;P
[07:11] <DJones> Just lucky I saw the question, only just connected
[07:11] <jaymeskeller> Hi all. Quick question. I've updated my GPG key and sent it to the Ubuntu keyserver. What is the ETA on key updates?
[07:12] <IdleOne> jaymeskeller, there is a script that autoruns every ?hour? or so iirc
[07:12] <jaymeskeller> IdleOne, Cool, thanks. :)
[07:13] <subdesign> DJones, one more question, this command makes a list only or collects all apps/files in a dir ?
[07:14] <DJones> subdesign: As far as I know, it just asks the package manager what packages are installed and outputs it to a text file, it doesn't collect the files in a single folder
[07:15] <subdesign> okay thank you
[07:17] <peetaur> whyohwhy: Does nmap -Pn also take longer? are pings blocked?
[07:18] <whyohwhy> peetaur: yep.. i'm running it with that option, it's relay slow, -above 200 sec
[07:19] <peetaur> 200 seconds?? :O
[07:20] <peetaur> and it takes long even if you run nmap from a different OS than 12.04?
[07:23] <peetaur> whyohwhy: I ran a "nmap -Pn hostname" from my openSUSE machine to 3 other servers. Ubuntu 12.04 took 16.558 seconds. FreeBSD 8.3 took 6.745 seconds. Ubuntu 10.04 took 5.563 seconds.
[07:24] <infinityartworx> i have installed netatalk and mounted 2 different hard disks…   if i look at the share from another computer the size of the harddisk is the size of the ubuntu partition only… how can i show the size of the mounted harddisk ??
[07:25] <gvo> sudo fdisk -l will show details on all connected hard drives
[07:25] <gvo> infinityartworx: ^^
[07:26] <timaaarrreee> gvo: sweet
[07:26] <arvislacis> Can anyone suggest me a good web-camera software?
[07:26] <timaaarrreee> arvislacis: cheese
[07:26] <infinityartworx> gvo: when i enter my shared folder it says 20 GB    and the mounted hard drive is 2 TB… so it only shows 20gb of free instead of 2TB
[07:26] <arvislacis> timaaarrreee, Thanks a lot :)
[07:26] <gvo> infinityartworx: Did you do the fdisk -l?
[07:27] <infinityartworx> yeah that is only shown in terminal
[07:27] <infinityartworx> not on my mac
[07:27] <timaaarrreee> arvislacis: you're welcome
[07:27] <gvo> infinityartworx: Are you running Ubuntu on your MAC?
[07:28] <infinityartworx> no i have a server running Ubuntu   and i'm accessing it from my mac
[07:28] <infinityartworx> i got netatalk and avahi  so i can access the files from AFS
[07:29] <jalexandru> Hi, I must be missing a step here I'm trying to set up httpd so I have an index.html file in /var/www/html/index.html I have httpd pid on but the browser give's me connection error
[07:29] <gvo> infinityartworx: connect via ssh and run fdisk.  It'll tell you the partitioning of the drives.
[07:29] <infinityartworx> gvo: buddy i know
[07:29] <jalexandru> anybody has any suggestions where should I start looking for errors? is a new install of os so httpd is brand new
[07:30] <gvo> infinityartworx: So what's the problem?
[07:30] <infinityartworx> gvo: but when i connect thru afs on my mac it only gets the size of the ubuntu partition
[07:30] <infinityartworx> not of the mounts
[07:31] <gvo> infinityartworx: I know nothing about afs but I assume it is similar to nfs.
[07:31] <AzzIzzA> infinityartworx: have you created a 20GB partition for ubuntu and left the rest unpartitioned? and now you want to share the unpartitioned space with the mac?
[07:31] <timaaarrreee> jalexandru: try tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log Or access.log you might need to sudo it to read the logs
[07:32] <gvo> So pastebin the output of fdisk so we can see what it looks like.  AzzIzzA Likely.
[07:32] <jalexandru> timaarrreee thank you for your time, just checked it and it's working on the same machine as the file but it doesn't work in network I'll check the logs and the set up of the network, thank you again.
[07:32] <infinityartworx> AzzIzzA: no. i have a ubuntu server with 50GB partition on Ubuntu.   Then i added 2 extra hard drives and mounted them.  then i've shared the two extra hard drives with netatalk - avahi   but it only shows 20GB free on my mac when i enter them thru AFS
[07:33] <infinityartworx> and i can see the 2 hard drive contents… but it shows the free size of the ubuntu partition only
[07:35] <trijntje> I want to display a very simple static webpage on my internal network. What is the best way to do this?
[07:36] <infinityartworx> i hate the word simple
[07:37] <infinityartworx> if it was simple then you'd had it running
[07:37] <infinityartworx> but try ajenti
[07:37] <jalexandru> trijntje create the html page and save it in /var/www/html as index.html you will be able to browse to it with "host-ip" in the browser
[07:37] <theadmin> trijntje: You need any web server. They all are about equally simple to setup, just search for something lightweight (lighttpd?)
[07:37] <whyohwhy> peetaur: yeah, it is
[07:38] <trijntje> simpel refers to the static webpage infinityartworx
[07:38] <trijntje> jalexandru: I'll try that, thanks!
[07:38] <jalexandru> trijntje you
[07:38] <infinityartworx> trko
[07:38] <infinityartworx> ok
[07:39] <theadmin> trijntje: Ignore jalexandru. That will only work if you already have a web server installed, and none come on the default Ubuntu setup. Install one first.
[07:39] <jalexandru> trijntje you'll also have to install a web server like theadmin mentioned
[07:39] <theadmin> Ah there we go
[07:39] <theadmin> jalexandru: Also, the path is /var/www/, the "html" folder is entirely unnecessary.
[07:40] <trijntje> ah ok, installing lighttpd now, thanks
[07:40] <jalexandru> theadmin still trying to wake up sorry for the wrong info :)
[07:40] <theadmin> jalexandru: No problem, I'm sleepy as well.
[07:42] <timaaarrreee> or you could read all the RFCs and learn the http protocol inside out and write one :)
[07:42] <timaaarrreee> just thought i'd throw that idea in too
[07:42] <theadmin> That'd work too.
[07:42] <trijntje> awsome, it works! Thanks all
[07:42] <trijntje> that would work, but would probably take a bit longer :P
[07:44] <wolfgang_> how do i message some one pm?
[07:44] <wolfgang_> what is command
[07:45] <IdleOne> /msg nickname
[07:46] <gvo> wolfgang_: It is considered rude in some circles to do so without permission.
[07:46] <wolfgang_> ?
[07:46] <wolfgang_> what do you mean?
[07:47] <gvo> Some people do not want pm without you asking them first if it's OK
[07:47] <whyohwhy> does 12.04 auto update packages ? I got rkhunter crying out about all kind of files that are getting changed
[07:47] <wolfgang_> gvo, oh ok, i will keep that in mind. thank you
[07:48] <IdleOne> whyohwhy, it will offer to update but not do it without your permission.
[07:49] <whyohwhy> I am using it remotely only, by ssh, how can I turn off those updates?
[07:50] <IdleOne> whyohwhy, just don't run apt-get upgrade and/or dist-upgrade
[07:51] <IdleOne> whyohwhy, not a very good idea though because you won't be getting any security updates unless either
[07:51] <gvo> whyohwhy: See if you have "unattended-upgrades" package installed
[07:52] <whyohwhy> thanks, i'll check it now
[07:56] <tonvin> It was very slow when using vim -d
[07:57] <Costeelation> hi guys
[07:57] <infinityartworx> lol found it.   I had to mount the two extra hard drives separately to AppleVolumes.default and then had to connect seperatly
[07:58] <Costeelation> i have a problem installin vmware player  in ubuntu 12.04 ther error is
[07:58] <Costeelation> Unable to start services.
[07:58] <Costeelation> See log file /tmp/vmware-root/modconfig-8484.log for details.
[07:58] <Costeelation> any idea?
[07:58] <FloodBot1> Costeelation: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:59] <MonkeyDust> Costeelation  use virtualbox, it's better supported here
[07:59] <Costeelation> :(
[07:59] <gvo> Costeelation: Besides, it's usually faster.
[07:59] <zinwa> actually , virtualbox is not a stable solution.
[07:59] <MonkeyDust> and it's in te repos
[08:00] <Costeelation> i have the virtual disks in format vmware only open with vmware products :(
[08:00] <gvo> zinwa: Other than being owned by Oracle what's not stable?
[08:00] <infinityartworx> gvo: i found the solution
[08:00] <gvo> infinityartworx: Good.  I see that.
[08:00] <infinityartworx> did you understand the problem ? and the solving ?
[08:01] <Kingsy> guys, anyone got some good info on drivers? more specifically the radeon open driver that ships with ubuntu ?
[08:01] <gvo> I care not a hoot about apple but yes.
[08:01] <infinityartworx> ok.. sometimes it's hard to explain the exact problem :) thats why i ask
[08:01] <silverarrow> is it true that there will be no more adobe flash player for ubuntu?
[08:02] <silverarrow> I got a bit worried when I read 11.2 flash player would be the last one for linux in general
[08:02] <Kingsy> no way.. that cant be true
[08:02] <silverarrow> it looks like I will depend on adobe flash at some point,
[08:03] <zinwa> gvo:  i used virtualbox running windows xp for about 2 months, and it crashes several times one day.
[08:03] <DJones> silverarrow: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/250784/for_flash_on_linux_there_are_open_player_alternatives.html
[08:03] <silverarrow> hopefully there will be ways about it
[08:03] <silverarrow> thanks DJones
[08:03] <L3top> Kingsy: Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[08:03] <gvo> zinwa:lol I ran xp for a while on my latpop and it crashed often too. ;)
[08:04] <Kingsy> L3top: well kinda, do you use that driver? if so have you noticed that its got really bad performance? I even get jumpy screensavers
[08:04] <PicCard> Freaking adobe killing flash development for Linux now?
[08:04] <infinityartworx> i love the word latpop
[08:04] <infinityartworx> :)
[08:04] <zinwa> gvo:  if crash scenarios not happened, it will be perfect, but i quit.
[08:04] <Kingsy> which surely on a 1GBDDR5 6850 is totally crazy
[08:04] <PicCard> Android support drooped, now Linux.
[08:04] <Kingsy> I should be able to run pretty much anything full resolution..
[08:04] <gvo> infinityartworx: fingers run at different rates...
[08:05] <infinityartworx> gvo: hehehehe
[08:05] <L3top> Kingsy: the open driver is rarely as capable of handling newer high end cards than the proprietary.
[08:05] <silverarrow> DJones, trouble is with sites that stream TV and copyrigh material they are forced to encode, and adobe flash seems to be the only alternative at the point. I suspect they will struggle with html5 for years until it works fine
[08:06] <Kingsy> L3top: do you know much about the AMD proprietary driver? it seems really flakey to me, or is that only because I used the catalyst control center ?
[08:06] <Kingsy> L3top: it was so flakey I binned it
[08:06] <zinwa> X-server crash every day on ubuntu 12.04, what's the schedule for deploying wayland ?
[08:07] <Costeelation> i solved the problem :D
[08:07] <Kingsy> does anyone here use the proprietary amd driver?
[08:08] <L3top> Kingsy: the repository version of the radeon driver may not fully support your card. You can try downloading and installing from ATI.
[08:08] <DuppyWeb> Hi, does anybody know why I cant access apache from localhost but from the Internet I can?
[08:08] <DuppyWeb> Ubutnu 12.04 / Apache 2.2.22
[08:08] <L3top> Kingsy: Stop asking if anybody uses a driver that covers literally hundreds of chipsets.
[08:09] <Kingsy> L3top: I was asking more generically to get a feel if its giving good performance + stability
[08:09] <L3top> !poll | Kingsy
[08:09] <Kingsy> L3top: download it from "ATI" ? is this a resource?
[08:10] <L3top> Kingsy: lspci -nn | grep VGA
[08:10] <zinwa> ubottu, Kingsy :  log
[08:10] <Kingsy> L3top: I am not on the pc right now.. so nm
[08:10] <Kingsy> zinwa: ?
[08:11] <zinwa> ubottu, i do, indeed. :(
[08:11] <L3top> Kingsy: AMD/ATI is the card manufactuerer.
[08:11] <zinwa> Kingsy, just mistake
[08:11] <Kingsy> L3top: ah ok.. so just download the driver from the official site
[08:11] <L3top> well... the chipset manufacterer at least... and the one who MAKES the driver.
[08:12] <L3top> the radeon driver is open source, but cannot always keep up with the  very latest cards.
[08:13] <manata> hello there
[08:13] <Kingsy> L3top: well my card the HD 6850 is pretty old.. but I know what you mean.. I guessed the proprietary driver would be better.. I will give it another go when I get in from work
[08:14] <manata> I have a question about ubuntu system
[08:14] <zinwa> manata, say it:)
[08:14] <manata> Is it possible for example to type in skype in one language and while surfing to use another
[08:15] <manata> like in windows 7
[08:15] <L3top> Kingsy: you cannot simply uninstall fglrx and run radeon btw. You must purge things... reinstall mesa... reconfigure xserver... That is probably at issue currently.
[08:15] <L3top> Kingsy: I would love to help you do all that... but you arent here for support it seems.
[08:15] <manata> let's say I type in russian in skype and use english while surfing
[08:16] <Kingsy> L3top: yeah just here to discuss this really.. I will be on the terminal later tonight if your around?
[08:16] <L3top> This is not the place to discuss things... for future reference. This is a support channel. In the future try #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:17] <silverarrow> manata, yes I think there are, not sure about skype, but you can easily control word processor and browser in that sense
[08:17] <zinwa> manata, i think that u mentioned is about input methods configuration, right?
[08:17] <L3top> It is 4 am here Kingsy. I will be gone shortly.
[08:18] <manata> what I mean is now I have to switch layout everytime between applications
[08:18] <silverarrow> manata, if I remember correctly there some plugin for pidgin, it might have both skype and language support
[08:19] <silverarrow> manata, yes, different alphabets are a challenge
[08:19] <Kingsy> ah lol .. wow
[08:19] <manata> I don't have problem with the language support, it is annoying to switch layout everytime between applications
[08:20] <silverarrow> a russian or greek forum would know about this I should think
[08:21] <MonkeyDust> manata you could submit a request at !brainstorm
[08:21] <manata> how?
[08:21] <MonkeyDust> !brainstorm
[08:22] <L3top> Kingsy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-restore-default-video-drivers
[08:25] <manata> thanks for your replays
[08:26] <Kingsy> L3top: wow yeah I didnt do that :P
[08:30] <chenhangwei> ok
[08:32] <AdvoWork> i know I can look in the bash history for a list of commands, but is there anything that goes back even further than that at all? I ran something on a server about a month ago, and i need to remember what I did :p
[08:35] <theadmin> AdvoWork: Well, nothing goes further than ~/.bash_history
[08:36] <ThinkT510> theadmin: unless he has some sort of logging backup system
[08:36] <theadmin> ThinkT510: And what are the chances of that? ;)
[08:36] <ThinkT510> theadmin: slim
[08:37] <theadmin> ThinkT510: Uhm... The login manager?
[08:37] <ThinkT510> theadmin: the chances are slim
[08:37] <theadmin> ThinkT510: Ah, I get it now

[08:46] <Nikon> Hi all
[08:47] <meshuggah> heya Nikon, how are ya?
[08:47] <Red_M> oh.. i was gonna do python code then realized that this is #ubuntu
[08:47] <Red_M> sigh
[08:48] <Nikon> Lord nikon is just bein needy at1:46 in the morn
[08:48] <Nikon> Nerdy
[08:48] <meshuggah> damn that i need to pee
[08:49] <ThinkT510> !ot
[08:49] <Nikon> Your funny
[08:49] <peetaur> I have an Ubuntu 10.04.1 machine that I want to upgrade to 10.04.3. What sort of upgrade is that? it's not a dist upgrade... would "aptitude safe-upgrade" do it?
[08:50] <ThinkT510> !dist-upgrade | peetaur
[08:50] <SpaceAviator> while selecting the ubuntu boot media in the BIOS i am give the option to use the normal or UEFI - which one should I pick??
[08:50] <theadmin> peetaur: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:51] <theadmin> SpaceAviator: If you don't know, choose normal.
[08:51] <peetaur> "dist-upgrade" from the apt-* and aptitude is defined as what ubottu said above... but I am asking simply is the "apt safe-upgrade" (similar to full-upgrade, formerly known as dist-upgrade) is what I want.
[08:52] <ThinkT510> peetaur: we are saying dist-upgrade is what you need
[08:52] <peetaur> so rephrased, When I use aptitude dist-upgrade (proper new name is full-upgrade rather than dist-upgrade), will it change the .1 to a .3 in 10.04.1?
[08:53] <ThinkT510> peetaur: why haven't you been updating regularly anyway?
[08:54] <peetaur> okay, then next question: I ran aptitude safe-upgrade, and my ssh client lost connection, the server was no longer pingable, and the local screen was blank. Is this a bug or an intended feature?
[08:54] <peetaur> because I am short manned, and I'm upgrading the oldest things now.
[08:55] <peetaur> before the server hung up, it was just listing things about dependencies and conflicts.
[08:56] <peetaur> and second reason, is this is just a nagios server... nothing needing urgent updates.
[08:57] <peetaur> and third reason, every single time I tried the "do-release-upgrade" thing, it failed horribly, needing a full reinstall to repair dependency problems, missing packages, etc.
[08:57] <peetaur> so upgrading Ubuntu is a hassle
[08:57] <chris|> peetaur, aptitude will not intentionally kill your network
[08:58] <peetaur> it wasn't just the network... the local screen was blank and ctrl+alt+delete did nothing
[08:58] <peetaur> So I'll just try it again.
[08:58] <peetaur> I'll use apt isntead of aptitude this time.
[08:59] <chris|> peetaur, if the machine is unresponsive, then something else is wrong. Try Sysrq
[09:00] <gvo> peetaur: I've been running multiple instances of Ubuntu since 6.??  While once in a while I saw a hickup, Ubuntu updated easily and reliably. Just saying...
[09:01] <peetaur> it updates 'easily and reliably', but afterwards, it spews out conflicts and errors when you try to install things, like the dpkg system is all messed up. I'll fetch you a pastebin of a similar problem on a system (although not caused by do-release-upgrade as far as I know)
[09:01] <gvo> peetaur: Do you use 3rd party repos?
[09:02] <peetaur> Mostly no... but on one such server there was a virtualbox repo.
[09:02] <chris|> Virtualbox on a server? oO
[09:02] <gvo> peetaur: OK that's a mystery then
[09:03] <peetaur> virtualbox does a better job than VMware actually :P
[09:03] <peetaur> and virtualbox is not my main vm platform.
[09:03] <theadmin> chris|: Why not? VirtualBox has a headless way to start stuff, and then you can access it via VNC I think
[09:03] <theadmin> Or RDP or something.
[09:03] <MonkeyDust> but vmware is commercial, so more MainStream
[09:04] <Lorra> Hi everybody! I've had this problem for some time now: whenever I try to use Ubuntu 12.04's default graphical login manager and type in my password and hit the enter key I am sent back to the login screen. I can login with gdm and in text mode of course, so what's wrong with lightdm. It's distro default, so it's a bit of a pity needing to drop it
[09:04] <peetaur> The ONLY issue I've ever had with virtualbox that puts it behind xen, kvm, etc. is that when a virtual disk is on the Linux client NFS and the nfs server goes down, not only that vm fails, but all of vbox hangs and you need to either rescue the NFS server or reboot the vbox host.
[09:04] <peetaur> kvm for example just fails that vm, and everything else runs without a hicup
[09:05] <peetaur> but anyway, I am trying to upgrade some Ubuntu servers... and so far apt-get seems to be better than aptitude for this. It is actually downloading things now.
[09:06] <peetaur> Either that, or stage1: crash and reboot is complete, and I am merely in stage2: install things indexed by stage1
[09:06] <ThinkT510> peetaur: aptitude is no longer shipped by default with ubuntu releases due to multiarch
[09:07] <Lorra> UP

[09:14] <silverghost> is this lubuntu 12.04 lts release
[09:15] <ThinkT510> silverghost: 12.04 is lts yes
[09:15] <silverghost> areee i am talking about lubntu
[09:16] <Anomie21> Is there a way to get updates to install automatically at a set time? I know this could be achieved via a cron job (2008 post on ubuntu forums) but I'm wondering if there's a setting I'm overlooking in 12.04
[09:16] <ThinkT510> silverghost: lubuntu uses the same repos as ubuntu, so they are equally supported
[09:16] <gvo> Anomie21: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/automatic-updates.html
[09:17] <k1l> silverghost: can you rephrase your question pls?
[09:17] <silverghost> is this lubuntu 12.03 lts release wiki says it is not
[09:18] <W4sp> Anomie21: There is no daemon for unattended-upgrades, hence you will need crond for it.
[09:18] <gvo> lubuntu 12.04 is an lts release.
[09:19] <k1l> silverghost: can you link this wiki page?
[09:19] <Anomie21> W4sp: just used 'apt-get install gnome-schedule'
[09:19] <ThinkT510> silverghost: they use the same repos, 12.04 will be supported for 5 years
[09:19] <virato> Hi, all. I'm trying to get Ubuntu Server to connect to the internet as a Guest OS in VirtualBox. Whenever I try to ping my router (<IP_ADDRESS>), I get "connect: Network is unreachable".
[09:19] <silverghost> Current version. Unlike Ubuntu this is not a long term support release..
[09:19] <ottoshmidt> is it possible to apt-get remove and break dependency deliberately
[09:19] <ottoshmidt> ?
[09:20] <ottoshmidt> leaving unmet deps temporarily
[09:20] <silverghost> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu
[09:20] <k1l> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu  silverghost
[09:21] <silverghost> why is wiki saying 12.04 lubuntu is not a lts release
[09:22] <gvo> How interesting.
[09:22] <k1l> it is not labled as lts because there is a lack of manpower to maintain the lubuntu specific packages for the 5 years. but all the pakets from the ubuntu-base are maintained for 5 years
[09:22] <ThinkT510> gvo: i concur
[09:22] <silverghost> 12.04 	Precise Pangolin 	26 April 2012 	October 2013 	Current version. Unlike Ubuntu this is not a long term support release.
[09:22] <k1l> silverghost: read the ubuntu-wiki page i just linked
[09:23] <silverghost> it is about lubuntu 12.10
[09:23] <Anomie21> Is there a way to include your root password in the line you type 'sudo' so it doesnt prompt you for a pw?
[09:23] <silverghost> it is about lubuntu 11.10
[09:23] <k1l> silverghost: dont stop reading after the first words :)
[09:23] <gvo> Anomie21: Are you trying to script sudo?
[09:23] <silverghost> i am using 12,04 lubuntu if this is not an lts release i will switch to xubuntu it has 3 yrs support
[09:24] <silverghost> when i ask this question they are not answering in lubuntu irc wtf
[09:24] <Lorra> Anomie21, if you wish you can do multiple commands as root by executing «sudo su»
[09:24] <Anomie21> gvo: Not sure what that means? I'm trying to get a command to run at a scheduled time. But the command I'm using sudo apt-get update --yes && apt-get upgrade --yes requires a password prompt to continue (which I wont be around for)
[09:25] <W4sp> Anomie21: gnome-schedule uses crond as stated. It will use the crontabs to read and write the entries, AFAIK. It will make crond as stated on the page you posted.
[09:25] <Lorra> Anomie21, you can become root with sudo su and then set cron appropriately
[09:25] <silverghost> i need some info abt .rpm vs .deb yum vs apt pls throw some light on this
[09:26] <gvo> Anomie21: The usual fix for that is to either run as root or add apt-get as a command without password in visudo
[09:26] <k1l> silverghost: read the 4th paragraph on the wiki link i posted for the lts issue.
[09:26] <silverghost> no i will ditch lubuntu xubntu has good support i am not happy with lubuntu support
[09:27] <peetaur> silverghost: The info you are requesting would be many pages long, but maybe you would find the tools "alien" and "rpm2cpio" interesting. Try "man alien" for example.
[09:27] <gvo> Anomie21: Are you familiar with the workings of /etc/cron.d/ files?
[09:27] <silverghost> can i use rpm in ubuntu
[09:27] <ThinkT510> silverghost: no, it will likely break stuff
[09:28] <ThinkT510> !rpm | silverghost
[09:28] <W4sp> gnome-schedule is an excellent example for a bloated DE. :-)
[09:28] <silverghost> hey but i have heard u can use .deb in fedora
[09:28] <peetaur> silverghost: yes if you convert them. Usually you can use "alien" but instead of converting to dpkg, convert to zip and extract.
[09:28] <silverghost> kk
[09:28] <Odra> Hello
[09:28] <peetaur> or try rpm2cpio | cpio -some-args-i-forget
[09:29] <jalexandru> Hi, I've connected a new computer to a network that uses dhcp and took a random ip, I need to change the ip to a specific one.My question at this point is: I need to make changes to the new computer or on the server?
[09:30] <ottoshmidt> why can't I su to root?
[09:30] <gvo> ottoshmidt: By default ubuntu has no root password.
[09:30] <gvo> Use sudo su -
[09:30] <Odra> For whatever reason my C# .net 2.0 compiler seems to be missing, how can I reinstall it?
[09:31] <gvo> jalexandru: new
[09:31] <ottoshmidt> what if sudo is broken?
[09:31] <gvo> ottoshmidt: How is it broken?
[09:31] <dontknow> ottoshmidt: ubuntu root account is locked
[09:31] <ottoshmidt> gvo i have broken its dep
[09:32] <ottoshmidt> dontknow, which is bad
[09:32] <veiliance> hey guys
[09:32] <gvo> ottoshmidt: Boot single user and use dhcp to fix the dep maybe
[09:32] <Odra> What is the package name of mono? .___.
[09:32] <veiliance> does ubuntu 12.04 support unity 2d?
[09:32] <jalexandru> gvo: thank you, and what config file should I change? the new computer will take the ip of an old one hope this won't affect the dhcp server...
[09:32] <dontknow> ottoshmidt: if you can't use sudo, open with root acces at boot
[09:32] <DebolazW> veiliance: Yes.
[09:32] <ThinkT510> veiliance: yes
[09:33] <ottoshmidt> dontknow, how?
[09:33] <veiliance> and 11.04 ( nattty) is defaulted to  unity 2d correct?
[09:33] <dontknow> ottoshmidt: hold the shift when booting
[09:34] <dontknow> and chose root
[09:34] <gvo> jalexandru: You shouldn't set the IP to a number in the range of the dhcp served addresses.
[09:34] <veiliance> im sorry ima noob ^^ but i am addicted to 11.04 ( natty)'s  deualt layout from what i could tell its unity 2d :)
[09:34] <Odra> I don't understand. Why mono develop can't compile. :|
[09:34] <Odra> It doesn't make any sense.
[09:34] <gvo> jalexandru: Is this a server?
[09:34] <infinityartworx> how do i create apple DMG files with a format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Encryption: 128-bit in Ubuntu ?
[09:34] <ThinkT510> veiliance: if it uses compiz it is unity, if it uses metacity it is unity2d
[09:35] <jalexandru> the new computer is a virtual server that will host a website
[09:35] <gvo> jalexandru: Is network-manager running on it?  OK
[09:35] <ThinkT510> veiliance: unity from 11.04 was based on gnome2, from 11.10 onwards it is based on gnome3
[09:35] <jalexandru> gvo: yes
[09:35] <gvo> jalexandru: Ubuntu 12.04?
[09:35] <jalexandru> yes
[09:35] <gvo> OK
[09:36] <veiliance> awww :( i like the small cute lil launcher button :) its thin and slim and sexy
[09:36] <veiliance> :P
[09:37] <gvo> jalexandru: Edit /etc/network/interfaces.
[09:37]  * Odra facepalms
[09:37] <jalexandru> gvo thank you
[09:37] <gvo> jalexandru: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux-basics-set-a-static-ip-on-ubuntu is a start
[09:37] <Odra> Why mono-develop does not work D:
[09:38] <gvo> jalexandru: Be sure you use the right device.  Eth0 is probably not what the virtual system uses.
[09:38] <Odra> How I am supposed to port my applications to ubuntu if mono-develop does not work D:
[09:38] <gvo> jalexandru: what virtual system?  VirtualBox?
[09:38] <jalexandru> gvo: i checked it with ifconfig and this one is using eth0 but thanks for the heads up; it's a vSphere hyperviser
[09:41] <gvo> jalexandru: If that doesn't work, you may have to go to the vsphere manual
[09:41] <jalexandru> gvo thanks for your time, now I have a starting point so I'll get in to it...
[09:42] <Odra> >:C
[09:42] <Odra> How do I re install mono :C
[09:43] <Odra> Is there a command like apt-get unbreak mono
[09:43] <veiliance-dc> xD
[09:43] <veiliance-dc> ]i think you should make one :P
[09:43] <Odra> Apparently when I upgrade to precise pangolin mono broke
[09:43] <Odra> So it doesnt work
[09:44] <Odra> So I tried to uninstall it
[09:44] <Odra> But I CANT
[09:44] <Odra> Because it doesnt work!
[09:44] <AdvoWork> you know how you can do grep -R <IP_ADDRESS>  * to find all occurences of that ip, is there a way(at the same time) of doing a find/replace on all of them files, changing it to say 0.2?
[09:44] <Odra> It doesnt work because some stuff is missing and I cant uninstall because some stuff is missing what is this I dont evne
[09:44] <veiliance-dc> lolz i rate you just reinstall cos like ubuntu reinstalls within 25 minutes
[09:45] <BrainBug[BE]> jalexandru, not totally in the loop of your problem ,but did you check in vsphere that on the settings of your machine the: "connected" and "connected at power on" are enabled in your network adapter?
[09:45] <geirha> Odra: Pastebin what you're trying, and the output it produces
[09:45] <Odra> I am trying to reinstall mono

[09:48] <ghano> i tryed toopen a skype link from a web browser but doesn't work
[09:49] <BrainBug[BE]> Odra, maybe as you say, the package is broken. try this: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade  try to reinstall/uninstall if this persist try : sudo apt-get install -f
[09:50] <jalexandru> BrainBug[BE]: just checked that and they are both checked but I have no options to set up the ip manually in the vsphere client so it's back to code for me.
[09:51] <ghano> skype doesn't associated with any program
[09:51] <Odra> BrainBug[BE]: Nothing happened.
[09:52] <veiliance-dc> hey guys

[10:26] <BrainBug[BE]> silverhost, is your browser scrolling expirience slow or just connecting to websites?

[10:29] <nc495> i will download all,thanks all :D

[10:29] <BrainBug[BE]> ldsgfd, great you found out
[10:30] <ice_flame> Hello people, do you have solution for compiz big cpu usage?
[10:30] <ldsgfd> flash player are useless on 1.4 GHz processor
[10:30] <ldsgfd> *is
[10:31] <ice_flame> when monitor turn off and my cpu fan start to spin very fast.
[10:33] <ice_flame> This is for ubuntu 12.04 64 bit
[10:33] <ice_flame> and ati hd 5770
[10:34] <BrainBug[BE]> ice_flame, are you using ati driver or the open one?
[10:35] <ice_flame> i had drivers downloaded and compiled from amd site
[10:35] <ice_flame> have*
[10:36] <ice_flame> this only happens when monitor turn off.
[10:37] <BrainBug[BE]> ice_flame, why not use apt-get?  sudo apt-get install fglrx ; sudo aticonfig --initial ; anyway, there should be a catalyst control center where you can edit powerplay options
[10:39] <ice_flame> Maybe I;m wrong, because I read post where people say drivers for ati is better on their site.
[10:39] <ice_flame> posts*
[10:39] <ice_flame> I mean amd site.
[10:39] <ice_flame> And that was the reason using them.
[10:40] <BrainBug[BE]> ice_flame, depends what you want from your video card; ati's proprietary driver is intended to have 3D acc. and maximum usage whereas the radeon hd driver is stable
[10:41] <ice_flame> mhm....
[10:41] <BrainBug[BE]> ice_flame, if your watching 1080p's, HD movies, playing high end games, you should try to fix ati's driver else i suggest you try the open source one
[10:42] <simplew> isnt possible to have the sidebar tree in nautilus anymore???
[10:43] <simplew> i have installed quantal

[11:10] <folmer> I have an older laptop (core2duo, 2gb ram, 5400RPM hdd), and I installed ubuntu on it in hope that it would speed things up because of lower sys reqs. However, after some use, I still experience that, say, rightclicking on the desktop to bring up the menu takes as much as 10sec (while there is heavy disk activity)
[11:11] <folmer> the user experience goes to hell and I'm tearing my hair out when that happens. Is there anything I can do or do I have to buy a new laptop?
[11:12] <ice_flame> you hardware is it ok?
[11:12] <ice_flame> Do you test your hard drive for errors?
[11:12] <folmer> I donøt know.
[11:12] <folmer> I haven't no
[11:13] <folmer> what's the command for it?
[11:13] <alankila> lengthy UI pauses when other disk activity is occurring sound pretty normal to me though. linux has always been like that.
[11:13] <cfhowlett> folmer: older lappy?  try lubuntu or xubuntu - both are designed for older, lower spec devices.
[11:13] <cfhowlett> folmer: also, ram matters.
[11:13] <alankila> the other operating systems are not immune either
[11:14] <folmer> cfhowlett: I installed xfce4 on ununtu and I'm running it now. Same problem
[11:14] <cfhowlett> folmer: what's your ram?
[11:14] <folmer> 2gb
[11:14] <alankila> that being said, collecting statistics with iotop/vmstat/atop/top etc. would help, to try to figure out what programs are using the various resources.
[11:14] <W4sp> folmer's spec are fine for anything. I would suggest to check with iotop, top if something hangs.
[11:14] <Auzy> folmerif they aren't all immune, could be a lot of things.. Could even be the HDD
[11:15] <BrainBug[BE]> folmer, maybe this one helps: http://askubuntu.com/questions/96216/right-click-on-xubuntu-home-screen-is-slow-is-it-normal
[11:15] <kristenbb> where is the content of ~/ubuntu one/Shared with me ?
[11:16] <folmer> I mean, I know the specs aren't the greatest, but I really did expect an improvement switching to Linux
[11:16] <folmer> alankila: How would you go about doing that?
[11:16] <folmer> BrainBug[BE]: thanks, 'll check the link now
[11:18] <BrainBug[BE]> folmer, maybe ice_flame has a point, if everything becomes slow on all and everything, it maybe due to bad sectors or corrupt disk, from your bios you can scan / test hard drive. you have to check it's vendor specific (press F2, F10, del,... key on booting your computer)
[11:18] <subdesign> any idea what is the correct url handler for Chrome in XChat?
[11:19] <folmer> BrainBug[BE]: Yeah, ok, I see the point of the article. It just bypasses the need to access the disk in order to fetch the icons. I guess it's a workaround, but the general sloppyness doesn't limit itself to the menus alone
[11:19] <alankila> I haven't seen bios-based disk scanners ever.
[11:19] <rvgate> With remmina, how do i enable the save password option for ssh connections
[11:19] <ice_flame> HP laptop have
[11:19] <alankila> anyway if there are unreadable sectors they appear with kernel complaining in its log (dmesg) about it
[11:19] <folmer> BrainBug[BE]: I guess it's the need to access the disk that's killing the user experience (because it's so terribly slow 5400RPM), but STILL I hadn't imagined it would be that gross
[11:20] <kristenbb> where does the symink  ~/ubuntu one/Shared with me point to?
[11:20] <folmer> alankila: I have a rather full HDD (only ~15gigs free) would it affect performance?
[11:20] <milsabor> hi
[11:20] <BrainBug[BE]> folmer, i have one around the specs your saying, and it's decent. so that's why you should do a memory / disk check from bios to see if anything is wrong there
[11:20] <cfhowlett> milsabor: greetings
[11:21] <Paola> hello
[11:21] <alankila> folmer: 15 GB still sounds like a lot to me.
[11:21] <folmer> BrainBug[BE]: Right, I'll try to do some memory/disk diagnostics
[11:21] <cfhowlett> Paola: greetings
[11:21] <Paola> i want know about version on ubuntu 10.10 maverick desktop ist good work and have drivers  ?
[11:21] <alankila> running linux for long time with very full disk is almost certain to fragment all commonly used files, though.
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> Paola  10.10 is no longer valid or supported
[11:22] <folmer> alankila: yeah I'd think so too. Still It's said that HDD's slow down when they fill up
[11:22] <BrainBug[BE]> subdesign, maybe this one can help: http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?t=5576
[11:22] <Paola> oh
[11:22] <ice_flame> Folmer if you a not familiar with linux diagnostics, you can try Hirens boot cd
[11:22] <cfhowlett> !eol|paola
[11:22] <folmer> alankila: I just don't know if it applies to my situation
[11:22] <folmer> ice_flame: Right, I'll give it a try. Is it a linux dist?
[11:22] <alankila> folmer: there exists a tool called e4defrag to estimate disk fragmentation. It usually says 0 to everybody because the filesystem is fragmentation resistant.
[11:22] <MonkeyDust> Paola  keep it in the channel please
[11:23] <Paola> ok
[11:23] <Paola>  im here on ubuntu 10.4 lucid
[11:23] <Paola>  but why slow here and video youtube is slow
[11:23] <ice_flame> it;s live cd
[11:23] <ellab> what does "1;" mean perl?
[11:23] <ice_flame> it's dosn't needlinux or windows
[11:23] <cfhowlett> Paola: 10.04 is LTS so has 36 months support in the desktop edition
[11:23] <folmer> alankila: there's no package with that name in apt
[11:24] <Paola> yeah
[11:24] <alankila> folmer: it's part of e2fsprogs, so in a 12.04 ubuntu it is already installed.
[11:24] <Paola> its good 10.04.4 lts ?
[11:24] <folmer> alankila: ah, right
[11:24] <W4sp> folmer 's hardware spec is fine, I run on Centrino with 1.2GHz that I step down to 600 Mhz with 1.4GB RAM. Everything works with good performance. I suggest folmer you follow BrainBug[BE] and alankila advice to identify where the issue is.
[11:24] <Paola> Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
[11:24] <Paola> Description:	Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
[11:24] <Paola> Release:	10.04
[11:24] <Paola> Codename:	lucid
[11:24] <Paola> charlos@Charlos-Desktop:~$
[11:24] <FloodBot1> Paola: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:24] <ice_flame> I thing is fine too
[11:24] <MonkeyDust> Paola  you might as well upgrade to 12.04
[11:25] <kristenbb> where does the symink  ~/ubuntu one/Shared with me point to?
[11:25] <Alir3z4> I am on the Ubuntu 10.04, if i issue "# apt-get upgrade" the distro itself will be upgraded?
[11:25] <Paola> but how to make command for upgrade  ?
[11:25] <W4sp> Don't make it worse by guessing.
[11:25] <cfhowlett> Alir3z4: no it will not
[11:25] <milsabor> I've got a slow connexion issue only at my parent's, and only with my laptop (I mean that i never have issues to connect at any wifi connexion except at my parent's, and that an other ubuntu laptop is connected to the wifi and works perfectly well)
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> Paola  fresh install may be faster and more efficient -- don't forget to backup, first
[11:25] <Alir3z4> cfhowlett: Thank you, so if i want to upgrade to 12.04 what i have to do then ?
[11:25] <kristenbb> where does the symlink  ~/ubuntu one/Shared with me point to?
[11:25] <Ristovski> hello, Im on linux mint 12 on my ASUS laptop, when I cannect my headphones, both headphones and speakers work, any help?
[11:26] <MonkeyDust> !mint
[11:26] <DJones> !mint | Ristovski
[11:26] <alankila> my advice to linux disk access woes is to invest in SSD. I don't use non-SSD systems anymore.
[11:26] <cfhowlett> Alir3z4: from ubuntu software center, you should have the option to upgrade the distro
[11:26] <Alir3z4> cfhowlett: It's production server
[11:26] <cfhowlett> Alir3z4: but ONLY from 10.04 to 12.04 as they're both LTS
[11:26] <cfhowlett> cfhowlett: so command line only?
  please privat me better
[11:26] <Paola> i dont know all command for ubuntu
[11:27] <cfhowlett> Alir3z4: command line only then?
[11:27] <spina89> hollo
[11:27] <folmer> W4sp: yeah I'd expect something is wrong too. I mean, it's really frustrating when it happens, but then again I don't know if I'm asking too much of the hardware. I do tend to have a lot of tabs open i na browser ie, but it's really astonishing if that's the reason the system gets handicapped like that
[11:27] <kristenbb> can someone please help me?
[11:27] <spina89> !list
[11:27] <Alir3z4> cfhowlett: Yes
[11:27] <cfhowlett> Alir3z4: see http://blog.sven.co.za/2010/06/01/upgrade-your-ubuntu-distro-from-the-command-line-server-or-desktop/
[11:27] <clj_newb_2098283> test
[11:27] <Alir3z4> cfhowlett: Thank you very much ;)
[11:28] <cfhowlett> Alir3z4: have fun. be safe.
[11:28] <folmer> alankila: I use an SSD in my desktop too. It's really amazing what it does to the responsiveness and the overall performance of the system, so my expectations could be way off for the laptop
[11:28] <spina89> !alis
[11:28] <Paola> tell me know ... how to command for upgrade ? i see have upgrade is 10.10 new upgrade but how to 12.04  ?
[11:29] <cfhowlett> Paola: can't upgrade from 10.10 directly.  Best you do a clean install
[11:29] <TobyJamesJoy> hi, compiz has crashed on me twice after using the super key to open the dash, any tips? this doesn;t reproduce reliably, only the twice....
[11:29] <Paola> but how to make ?
[11:29] <kristenbb> can someone please tell me what's the output of the command     ll Ubuntu\ One/Shared\ With\ Me     ?
[11:29] <cfhowlett> Paola: download the iso.  checksum.  create a live boot USB or cdrom.  Boot that and install.
[11:30] <alankila> folmer: in general all our disk schedulers are written to maximize bandwidth at expense of latency. Even the best of them such as CFQ seem like they don't do enough to control the problem.
[11:30] <W4sp> folmer: I think your advice is correct, see what processes are causing issues. It may be a flaw in the hardware but this can be identified by running the tools you and BrainBug[BE] suggested. Besides, it takes to long to open a contect menu on the desktop.
[11:30] <MonkeyDust> Paola  you cannot upgrade directly from 10.10 to 12.04, fastest is to fresh install -- don't forget to backup, first
[11:30] <Paola> okey but that good version 10.04.4 LTS  ?
[11:30] <kristenbb> Can someone please not ignore me ? :(
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> Paola  use 12.04 , not 10.04
[11:31] <Paola> ok
[11:31] <Paola> i must install download cd rom for 12.04  ?
[11:31] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  that's not ignoring, that's 'not knowing te answer to whatever your question was'
[11:31] <usr13> Paola: If you have 10.04 on hand, use it.
[11:31] <Paola> after install update manager ---> settings normal release after install update, really   ?
[11:32] <kristenbb> MonkeyDust: it doesn't require any skills, just having a 12.04 ubuntu. I bet there's more than one in here.
[11:32] <milsabor> it seemed to be a bit rate problem (my wi fi card supports n wifi, but my wifi box does not), so i tried to change the bit rate using the following command lines : ifdown wlan0;  iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M; ifup wlan0. But the first command returns "interface wlan0 not configured"
[11:32] <Paola> :-/
[11:33] <Paola> I need work ubuntu that good  ?
[11:33] <shal3r> How to get [sun-java6-jre sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin] on ubuntu 9.3 ?
[11:33] <Paola> excusa me I am deaf and my names Paola
[11:33] <usr13> Paola: 10.04 Desktop is good until April 2013
[11:34] <alankila> folmer: that being said the performance is pretty good as long as you don't force more I/O than the disk system can take... but as soon as you do, the queues fill up, the backlog builds, scheduling decisions penalize programs that generate small I/O requests at a time and which must wait until those are satisfied before they can generate more
[11:34] <cfhowlett> Paola: what's your question?
[11:34] <kristenbb> can someone with 12.04 please tell me what's the output of the command     ll Ubuntu\ One/Shared\ With\ Me     ?
[11:34] <Paola> I need work all drivers and good ati/amd work video on youtube this that version on ubuntu   ?
[11:34] <jacta> anyone running evolution in the newest stable version?
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  wy do you want to now what people are sharing?
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> know*
[11:35] <Alir3z4> Paola: You can watch video on youtube without flash or other plugins also
[11:35] <kristenbb> that's not what I want to know, I want to know where the symlink points to
[11:35] <kristenbb> I deleted it by mistake
[11:35] <usr13> kristenbb: ls -l  will tell you.
[11:35] <kristenbb> is there nobody with 12.04 in here??
[11:35] <Paola> but how to command ? tell me know please
[11:36] <usr13> kristenbb: But not if you deleted it.
[11:36] <DJones> !patience | kristenbb
[11:36] <kristenbb> usr13: yes, do it please if you have it.
[11:37] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  for a start, ll is a unix command, not a linux command, i guess you mean ls -l
[11:37] <Alir3z4> Paola: I'm not a ubuntu desktop user, but may this help you => http://askubuntu.com/questions/142627/flgrx-amd-catalyst-driver-issues-in-ubuntu-12-04
[11:37] <Paola> video on youtube without flash or other plugins also but how to command ? tell me know please
[11:37] <usr13> kristenbb: Why would someone else have that file?  What is it?
[11:37] <folmer> alankila: yeah I know I'm rathe limited with regrds to io resources, but even now when I type, having run e4defrag in the background the system stops responding for several seconds occationally
[11:37] <Paola> Thanks
[11:38] <W4sp> Paola: /home/<yourid>/.local/share/ubuntuone/shares/
[11:38] <kristenbb> MonkeyDust: ll is a bash shortcut that everyone one with ubuntu has. it just means ls -l with some other stuff.
[11:38] <MonkeyDust> kristenbb  it points to ~/.local/share/ubuntuone/shares/
[11:38] <kristenbb> thanks!
[11:38] <W4sp> kristenbb: /home/<yourid>/.local/share/ubuntuone/shares/
[11:38] <folmer> alankila: I think it's unacceptable, but,again, is it completely normal for an older laptop?
[11:39] <kristenbb> ok, thanks.
[11:39] <Paola> /home/<yourid>/.local/share/ubuntuone/shares/   after what ?
[11:39] <W4sp> Paola: Sorry, mixed you accidently with kristenbb
[11:39] <kristenbb> Paola: no, that was for me
[11:40] <Paola> i dont understand ! :-/
[11:40] <Paola> fglrx is already the newest version.
[11:40] <Paola> E: Couldn't find package fglrx-amdccclete
[11:40] <Paola> :-?
[11:40] <kristenbb> Paola: what language do you speak? Italian? maybe you'd better go to an italian version.
[11:41] <Paola> no
[11:41] <Paola> english only
[11:41] <W4sp> Paola: I accidently addressed an answer to you that was intended for kristenbb
[11:41] <Paola> but i am deaf excuse me
[11:41] <Paola> what this about ?
[11:41] <oldereagle> I use Ubuntu 12.04 on my eee pc that has 1024x600 screen. When I hook up an external monitor (1280 x 1024) Ubuntu will not use it without rotating the screen 90 degrees.
[11:42] <MonkeyDust> oldereagle  i guess you can rotate it back, by right clicking on it
[11:42] <Paola> so update manager---> setitings --> prompt normal release after install update , perfect  ?
[11:43] <oldereagle> Nope. Only change it "to the left" or "to the right". Not "Normal"..
[11:43] <folmer> e4defrag found nothing
[11:43] <oldereagle> MonkeyDust, Nope. Only change it "to the left" or "to the right". Not "Normal"..
[11:43] <MonkeyDust> oldereagle  moment, in xfce it's possible, i switch now to unity
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> hmm
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> oldereagle  it does have a rotation feature in unity
[11:45] <Paola> so why not work update on 9.10   ?
[11:45] <MonkeyDust> i'm sure Dr_Willis can't wait to help someone
[11:46] <MonkeyDust> Paola  because 9.10 is too old
[11:47] <oldereagle> MonkeyDust, Thanks for helping. But my problem is that when I hook up an external monitor, the possible selections of rotations go from "4 ways" to only "2 ways" and both of those are "laying on its side".
[11:47] <elspuddy_>  im trying to figure out why my drive shaire has stoped working, here is a copy of my log file for samba/nmbd http://paste.ubuntu.com/1132196/
[11:47] <Paola> oh
[11:47] <Paola> okey
[11:47] <jacta> Does anyone know how to get the stable version on evolution on the machine instead of the default from apt-get?
[11:47] <Paola> but what good this 10.04  lucid is ok  ?
[11:48] <MonkeyDust> jacta  start from the beginning, what happened
[11:48] <Paola> but what good this 10.04  lucid is ok  ?
[11:48] <jacta> MonkeyDust, the one from apt-get is just old, and latest stable is newer
[11:48] <MonkeyDust> !latest| jacta
[11:49] <Paola> tell me know
[11:49] <Paola> say me now... i dont have time waiting
[11:49] <jacta> MonkeyDust, I know that - but in this case I'd like the newest one
[11:49] <Paola> but what good this 10.04  lucid is ok  ?
[11:49] <MonkeyDust> Paola  yes, 10.04 is supported until spring next year
[11:49] <Paola> okey
[11:49] <Paola> but  work force driver for ati/amd  ?
[11:49] <oldereagle> MonkeyDust, I can view the ext monitor in 800 X 600 but in 1280x1024 the optios are reduced to clockwise and ant-clockwise. Disabling the laptop monitor does not help...
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> oldereagle  sounds strange, i can't advice on it
[11:50] <MonkeyDust> give*
[11:50] <oldereagle> MonkeyDust, ok. thanks anyway.
  its  work force driver for ati/amd  ?
[11:51] <MonkeyDust> Paola  i have intel and i'm happy with it, i'm not familiar with anything else
[11:52] <jacta> MonkeyDust, problem is that I dont know how to update :\
[11:52] <Paola> MonkeyDust  okey but  what boot loader that h 0,0 or sda, sata hard  ?
[11:52] <Paola> for manual partition
[11:53] <MonkeyDust> jacta  if it's not in the repos, you need a ppa or so, but you use that on your own risk
[11:53] <Paola> ?????
[11:53] <Paola> MonkeyDust  ?
[11:54] <MonkeyDust> Paola  not sure what you mean
[11:54] <Paola> so i have ati/amd readon but its work install for ubuntu  10.4  ?
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> depends on the exact card paola
[11:55] <MonkeyDust> Paola  i'm not familiar with ati/amd, i'm sure someone else can help
[11:55] <Paola> but what help me how  ?
[11:55] <Dr_Willis> !ati
[11:56] <Paola> thanks
[11:56] <Paola> but have there Hardware > Drivers
[11:56] <Paola> ?
[11:57] <Paola> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4550]
[11:57] <Paola> width: 64 bits
[11:58] <Paola> what this  ? why not 32 bit  ????
[11:58] <Paola> I must install iso ubuntu 10.04.4 lts 64 bit or 32 bit that for ati 64 bit  ?
[11:59] <compdoc> ati = video card
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> you are confuseing your bits..
[11:59] <Dr_Willis> whats the cpu = decides if you want 32 or 64bit
[12:00] <compdoc> video cards dont care if the OS is 32 or 64 bit
[12:00] <Dr_Willis> if you dont know.. go 32bit.
[12:00] <compdoc> teh more bits, the faster the vid card
[12:00] <Paola> i dont know all mean :(
[12:00] <Paola> I have cd ubuntu 10.04 32 bit
[12:00] <Paola> but why at 64 bit   ?
[12:01] <compdoc> use 32
[12:01] <Paola> but why ati 64 bit  ?
[12:01] <Paola> yes 32 bit
[12:01] <compdoc> dont know why anyone would use ubuntu 10.04, but whatever
[12:01] <Paola> ???
[12:02] <Paola> In Ubuntu 10.04 and 9:10 this is found under System->Administration->Hardware Drivers.
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> ignore that 'bit' info about the video.. its confuseing you
[12:02] <Paola> shit :(
[12:02] <DIFH-iceroot> compdoc: because its a lts release which is still supported
[12:02] <Paola> Note:In Ubuntu 10:10 Hardware Drivers is now named Additional Drivers
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> Paola:  correct.. or just run    jockey-gtk
[12:03] <Paola> its work 10.10 for ati
[12:03] <Paola> but how to make command for jockey-gtk   ????
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> the command is  gksudo jockey-gtk
[12:04] <Paola> oh okey
[12:04] <caixa> is there a reason why my gpu runs about 20c hotter in linux than windows?
[12:04] <brontosaurusrex> xrandr is installed by default on *buntus?
[12:05] <Paola> but this driver is activated and currently in use.
