[16:29] <vuongdothanhhuy> mmc_: yes, I think there is a way to change it, lived CD use ISOlinux bootloader to load, just edit the file settings.
[16:29] <rabbi1> jrib: yeah, same errors
[16:30] <ThinkT510> coolpro: it is rather convoluted but the only thing i can think of
[16:30] <sazawal> CaBa, ohh let me see again
[16:30] <jrib> rabbi1: sudo apt-get install texlive-base
[16:30] <ThinkT510> coolpro: sorry i'm rather useless
[16:31] <CaBa> anyone on the "where are all my gnome-panel items" issue? :P
[16:31] <rabbi1> jrib: is chrome messing up something ?
[16:31] <balazs> Hello. How do I change alt+tab behavior so that it switches between all windows, not just the ones in the current workplace ?
[16:31] <Sna4x8> When I start 12.04: 1) aptd crashes. 2) colord crashes. 3) I get an error saying "Could not grab your mouse."
[16:31] <jrib> rabbi1: no, this is probably a bug in the .postinst script
[16:31] <Sna4x8> Of the three, I really care about 3 since I can't click anything!  Any help?
[16:32] <coolpro> Thinkt510: it's fine. I am wondering why noone else is replying in such easy question as display settings.
[16:32] <tori_> hello, what is the latest kernel in ubuntu?
[16:32] <CaBa> i cannot even right click the menu...
[16:32] <tori_> I am having issues installing virtualbox and cannot find the linux headers for my current kernel
[16:32] <jrib> rabbi1: it's actually been updated in the current version
[16:32] <sazawal> CaBa, ohh its working. Sorry there was error in some other line
[16:33] <rabbi1> jrib: seeting up texlive-libraries ,... hoping for some good news
[16:33] <sazawal> CaBa, thank you
[16:33] <CaBa> np O.o
[16:33] <Sna4x8> tori_: linux-headers-`uname -r`
[16:33] <sazawal> CaBa, dirty chat eh?
[16:33] <rabbi1> jrib: yeah, done. looks like no errors
[16:33] <gaelfx> !info linux-generic | tori_
[16:33] <CaBa> sazawal: yep...
[16:33] <sazawal> CaBa, lol
[16:33] <jrib> rabbi1: you can try « dpkg --configure -a » again now but it should be ok
[16:33] <CaBa> sazawal: now take that mask off!
[16:33] <sazawal> CaBa, I dont suppose that you are a girl
[16:33] <sazawal> :D
[16:34] <rabbi1> jrib: yeah, done ...
[16:34] <gaelfx> ladies, this is a support channel
[16:34] <CaBa> sazawal: what makes you think so?
[16:34] <jrib> rabbi1: you can remove the set -x from /var/lib/dpkg/info/tex-common.postinst now
[16:34] <rabbi1> jrib: am i safe until now ? :)
[16:34] <sazawal> CaBa, do girls really use latex
[16:34] <jrib> rabbi1: I think you're ok now, yes :)
[16:34] <rabbi1> cd /
[16:34] <CaBa> sazawal: they certainly do. doesn't make me one though.
[16:35] <rabbi1> jrib: sorry, that one goes to terminal
[16:35] <tori_> Sna4x8, E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.0.0-14-generic
[16:35] <tori_> E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.0.0-14-generic'
[16:35] <vuongdothanhhuy> mmc_: I found a way for you
[16:35] <gaelfx> !ot | CaBa sazawal
[16:35] <mmc_> vuongdothanhhuy: yay!
[16:35] <sazawal> CaBa, lol, alright
[16:35] <rabbi1> jrib: yeah, clear :)
[16:36] <gaelfx> tori_: are you using 11.10?
[16:36] <rabbi1> jrib: should i reset the fonts now ?
[16:36] <jrib> rabbi1: that's up to you :)
[16:36] <CaBa> gaelfx: well i have to use my time *somehow* waiting for someone to answer my ubuntu question! :)
[16:36] <vuongdothanhhuy> mmc_: try to edit isolinux config, open livedCD image, isolinux folder, edit the file txt.cfg as advised on the Internet or IntuitiveNipple's link.
[16:36] <rabbi1> jrib: but, still this font sucks.....
[16:36] <vuongdothanhhuy> mmc_: the file txt.cfg contains what you need to edit.
[16:36] <ResQue> how can i find out which repo an application was installed from
[16:36] <rabbi1> jrib: following the font --unset procedure will do ?
[16:37] <gmachine_24> Greetings Earthlings. I have become increasingly concerned about security/privacy; was using secure-delete 'sfill' to overwrite all free space - but this takes days, at least on this laptop. Any suggestions for something faster and as good?
[16:37] <mmc_> vuongdothanhhuy: thanks... i will try that
[16:37] <tori_> gaelfx, i upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04
[16:37] <ResQue> or even a package i find using apt-cache search
[16:37] <IntuitiveNipple> ResQue: apt-cache policy <package-name>
[16:37] <ResQue> IntuitiveNipple: thanks
[16:37] <gaelfx> gmachine_24: tesla coil
[16:37] <escott> gmachine_24, use an encrypted filesystem
[16:37] <vuongdothanhhuy> mmc_: if possible, try the old ones, like 6.06, 7.04, 8.04 or 9.04 ve
[16:37] <escott> gmachine_24, or an oven
[16:37] <vuongdothanhhuy> r
[16:37] <elijah> Is there a way to increase the size of system fonts and graphics in 12.04? I have a 1920x1080 15" laptop and sometimes it is just too small. I love the resolution for full 1080p video but not so much for text and I always find myself scaling webpages up so I can read them. Would be nice if I could set something similar to what Win 7 has to make every thing 25% larger.
[16:37] <vuongdothanhhuy> mmc_: maybe the old kernel works, but the new doesnot
[16:38] <gmachine_24> gaelfx, will check it out
[16:38] <escott> elijah, you need to adjust the dpi
[16:38] <derekchiang> what a shame, I just realized Empathy supports IRC
[16:38] <gaelfx> tesla coils are to hard drives as pvc is to spuds
[16:38] <Trel> IntuitiveNipple: will turning of caching completely remove the ability to have a mapped drive?
[16:38] <derekchiang> can anyone tell me if Empathy has a shortcut for addressing people?
[16:38] <gaelfx> derekchiang: supports is stretching it
[16:38] <gmachine_24> escott, actually, that is what I'm moving to - I am creating an encrypted area on the hard drives of my comps - but want to wipe everything clean first.
[16:38] <IntuitiveNipple> Trel: I don't know the answer to that. I think you'll have to test it
[16:39] <gaelfx> derekchiang: Empathy's "IRC" is a travesty and a great example of how not to write an irc client
[16:39] <gmachine_24> escott, I suppose I could create the encrypted partition first and then wipe the rest - that would save time.
[16:39] <escott> gmachine_24, there isn't anything else you can do. you just have to write it all out with random data multiple times
[16:39] <derekchiang> gaelfx, you serious?
[16:39] <gaelfx> derekchiang: at any rate, irssi is much much better in so many ways
[16:39] <zykotic10> gaelfx: good think empathy isn't an irc client but an im client then ;)
[16:39] <derekchiang> gaelfx, it looks good, at least
[16:39] <gmachine_24> escott, agreed. I was just hoping for something a little faster.
[16:39] <rabbi1> jrib: anyway thanks :) have a nice day.... will try out
[16:39] <escott> gmachine_24, but if you just add an encrypted partition there will be areas of the encrypted partition which are never used and plaintext can be recovered from those areas
[16:39] <jrib> rabbi1: no problem, have a nice day
[16:40] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: Best thing is to randomise the surface of the drive first. I did by first creating a randomised 512MB binary in a tmpfs (RAM backed) file-system then wrote it to the hard disk using a while loop and dd if=randomfile.dat of=/dev/sdz
[16:40] <escott> elijah, the gnome-tweak-tool apparently allows dpi changes http://askubuntu.com/questions/66224/how-to-change-the-screen-dpi-in-11-10
[16:40] <gaelfx> derekchiang: people don't usually use irc if they care about how it looks ;)
[16:40] <derekchiang> gaelfx: hey I just realize Tab is the shortcut for addressing people
[16:40] <gmachine_24> escott, again, agreed - but that's if someone can break the encryption
[16:40] <derekchiang> gaelfx: good thought
[16:40] <Marzata> ubuntu server iso 12.04 mirrors' list url?
[16:40] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: The advantage of using a 512MB file is that its much master than dd if=/dev/urandom
[16:40] <gaelfx> zykotic10: that's debatable :P
[16:40] <gaelfx> (it being a good thing I mean)
[16:41] <escott> gmachine_24, no. the encrypted partition will leave gaps which are not used (the same way any other filesystem partition will be) so you see a cipherblock and then an unallocated block which might contain plaintext from a previous fs
[16:41] <derekchiang> gaelfx: last thing: Empathy and Pidgin, which one is better?
[16:41] <ThinkT510> derekchiang: better for what?
[16:41] <derekchiang> gaelfx: I'm kinda new to Ubuntu
[16:41] <gmachine_24> escott, ah, OK, thanks. Good point.
[16:41] <zykotic10> derekchiang: Yellow or Blue, which one is better?
[16:41] <derekchiang> ThinkT510: better for... chat in general
[16:42] <gaelfx> derekchiang: depends what you're trying to do. Pidgin has no real voice/video support, though it's been "in the works" for a few years now
[16:42] <escott> gmachine_24, so you have to write to every single byte
[16:42] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: That's why we always write random data to the entire disk/partition first
[16:42] <gmachine_24> escott, got it.
[16:42] <gmachine_24> IntuitiveNipple, so I should do this before installing the os?
[16:42] <ThinkT510> derekchiang: if you want a good irc client, use an irc client (rather than an im client)
[16:43] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: It's easier - you can do it from the live CD for example
[16:43] <zykotic10> ThinkT510: +1
[16:43] <gaelfx> derekchiang: Empathy is generally fine for most IM usage
[16:43] <gaelfx> derekchiang: Pidgin's development seems to have hit a brick wall as of late
[16:43] <derekchiang> ThinkT510: I used XChat usually.  although all I need is typing
[16:43] <gmachine_24> IntuitiveNipple, any reason I can't back up my current system into a tar file and then reinstall after the wipe? I suppose that will rewrite all the stuff I am trying to overwrite.
[16:44] <alusion> My Super key is not bringing up the activities in Gnome [12.04 LTS]
[16:44] <alusion> Is this a known issue?
[16:44] <gaelfx> alusion: did you check the hotkey assignments?
[16:45] <alusion> How do I quickly access that?
[16:45] <gaelfx> alusion: in system settings->keyboard I believe
[16:45] <ThinkT510> alusion: hold down super
[16:45] <gaelfx> alusion: also, are you using gnome-shell or unity? (if you don't know, it's probably unity)
[16:46] <alusion> gnome-shell
[16:46] <ThinkT510> oh
[16:46] <LgL_> when i try to boot my ubuntu i just end up in a tty 1 terminal window login. i check tty 7 and it is stuck in checking battery state
[16:46] <LgL_> no x is starting
[16:46] <LgL_> any ideas?
[16:47] <gaelfx> alusion: did you find the hotkey settings?
[16:47] <LgL_> and i try to restart gdm from tty 1 then everything just hangs
[16:47] <alusion> yes and under system I should be looking at "Show the activities overview" correct?
[16:47] <gaelfx> alusion: sounds right to me
[16:47] <alusion> It won't let me to change the shorcut to the super key
[16:47] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: If you can shuffle some existing space around to free up some... you could then use LVMs and just move the data and files around
[16:47] <gmachine_24> IntuitiveNipple, is there anywhere this process is spelled out step-by-step? You guys are over my head here about this.
[16:48] <gaelfx> alusion: does it seem to give any reason? or is it just greyed out?
[16:48] <alusion> Nope it just won't allow, I think this problem started when I installed Cairo dock?
[16:48] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: I think I wrote a couple articles about it a long time back... let me check
[16:49] <gaelfx> alusion: egad. hang on, bbs
[16:49] <gmachine_24> IntuitiveNipple, TYVM
[16:49] <alusion> o.o
[16:50] <LgL_> no one know?
[16:50] <Cantide> am i the only one that thinks that the bar at the top would look amazing if it kept the look it has while the HUD is in use all the  time?
[16:50] <Cantide> is there a way to set this?
[16:50] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: .... here's three I wrote. They were for Hardy but I still use the same procedures to do it now, albeit some steps are now taken care of automatically by the system...
[16:50] <ThinkT510> LgL_: have you got the "text" option enabled in grub?
[16:51] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/HardyRAID5EncryptedLVM   http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/HardyEncryptedLVM    http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/InstallToMultipleLVMsArbitraryEncryption
[16:51] <ThinkT510> !text | LgL_
[16:52] <gmachine_24> IntuitiveNipple, good, I needed more bathromm reading material. ;)
[16:52] <IntuitiveNipple> LgL_: First stop is to check the log files in /var/log/ , see which are most recently updated (ls -lstr) and check them out using: less /var/log/<file> and page up down
[16:52] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: :p
[16:52] <gmachine_24> :D kidding
[16:53] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: Start with http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/InstallToMultipleLVMsArbitraryEncryption
[16:53] <lotus-blade> is there an easy way to update the hosts file with my dynamic address
[16:53] <IntuitiveNipple> gmachine_24: Because that talks about encrypting individual LVM volumes not the entire drive
[16:53] <LgL_> my system worked fine till just one day it just stopped working. i did not do anything special :(
[16:54] <ThinkT510> LgL_: added any ppas?
[16:54] <coolpro> What's wrong with  12.04 displaying?
[16:54] <LgL_> hmmmm yhea.. some theme from webupd8
[16:54] <LgL_> i think
[16:54] <LgL_> but i never installed it
[16:54] <gmachine_24> IntuitiveNipple, yeah, that much I got on my own. But thanks.
[16:55] <LgL_> and some gnome ppas
[16:55] <coolpro> 12.04 isn't even working properly on YouTube full screen displaying...
[16:55] <ThinkT510> LgL_: and you didn't do anything special? haha
[16:55] <polm23> Hey, somethings weird with the nvidia drivers on my system
[16:55] <LgL_> ;)
[16:55] <polm23> Specifically I have a bunch of files in /usr/lib that are version 260.19.44 but aren't part of any package
[16:56] <user__> hello, the videos in my computer look very blue. How can I reset the settings so that the color will go back to the default settings?
[16:56] <LgL_> but it worked fine work like one week.. then this just hepped out of the blue
[16:56] <polm23> If I install nvidia-current I get 260.19.06, but the kernel module is still version 44, so there's an api mismatch and X can't start
[16:56] <ThinkT510> LgL_: probably because of an update
[16:56] <ThinkT510> LgL_: the ppa likely conflicted
[16:56] <polm23> How can I get the module version in sync with the files in /usr/lib?
[16:56] <ResQue> i delete a PPA and delete the software installed from it, but now when i try to install the software again by downloading the pidgin-ppa.deb file from there website. the option in software center to install is grayed out.
[16:57] <Yoshimi-pink> I want to take a program who's source code i wrote and install it in my system (11.10)
[16:57] <ThinkT510> ResQue: why are you using a ppa for pidgin?
[16:57] <pmp6nl> Hello all, is it safe to have the owner of files be www-data for a server?
[16:57] <LgL_> ThinkT510: mybe i just reinstall everything again. if there is no easy fix to this. im not a proffesional.. hehe
[16:57] <ThinkT510> LgL_: ppas are bad, stay away from them
[16:57] <ThinkT510> !ppa-purge | LgL_
[16:58] <ResQue> ThinkT510: i just wanted the latest version from them, but the real issue here is somewhere between removing and adding it in again something has been left over and i want to learn how to clean this issue up
[16:58] <Yoshimi-pink> I want to install a program on my computer
[16:58] <IntuitiveNipple> Yoshimi-pink: 2 ways: 1) add an install: rule to the Makefile and/or optionally make your source into a debian package and build it using debuilder... or the easy way, copy your executables to /usr/local/bin/
[16:58] <ThinkT510> ResQue: you say you deleted the ppa, how?
[16:58] <babilen> Yoshimi-pink: Ah, you obviously were very much aware that you asked in the wrong place, eh?!
[16:59] <Yoshimi-pink> no
[16:59] <Yoshimi-pink> no im not
[16:59] <ResQue> ThinkT510: first i delete it using software-source GUI, then i delete the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ then i removed the keys with apt-keys -r
[16:59] <Yoshimi-pink> i've gotten no information on the subject that i honestly dont know where to ask cause everyone is telling me to go somewhere else
[16:59] <ThinkT510> !checkinstall | Yoshimi-pink
[16:59] <LgL_> thx for the tips :D  but maybe its a sign that i shuld install the ubuntu remix insted ;)
[16:59] <Yoshimi-pink> see how easy that was?
[17:00] <LgL_> me and unity are not bestfriends
[17:00] <Yoshimi-pink> thank you think
[17:00] <LgL_> ;)
[17:00] <babilen> Yoshimi-pink: I have also given you plenty of information in #debian on irc.oftc.net about packaging *for Ubuntu*
[17:00] <LgL_> anyone tryed the remix ver?
[17:00] <Brustofski-Fan> ubuntu 12.04 boardcom wireless... is theere away to adjust single? Can't even leave the roon with the laptop . when i had win 7 on it i could go outside with it !!
[17:00] <babilen> Yoshimi-pink: THIS: I would recommend to ask in #ubuntu-packaging, read Debian's NMG Guide (new maint) and read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
[17:01] <ResQue> ThinkT510: i have also run apt-get check, clean, autoclean and update, but i can not seem to run this PPA.deb file i download from pidgin. do you think something might be left over
[17:01] <ThinkT510> !ppa-purge | ResQue
[17:02] <user__> hello, the videos in my computer are blueish. All youtube videos look blue but some videos are showing the right colors. How can I reset the settings so that the color will go back to the default settings?
[17:02] <ThinkT510> ResQue: no idea, i don't use ppas and never advise others too
[17:02] <ResQue> ThinkT510: yes it was a dumb idea, thanks
[17:02] <IntuitiveNipple> user__: Several users reported that recently; not sure of the fix but it sounds like an issue with Flash player
[17:02] <Sidewinder> babilen, Yoshimi-pink You really had me 'scratching my head'; someone who can write source code but doean't know how to install/compile? I'm still scratching my head; with all due respect, of course. :-)
[17:03] <ThinkT510> user__: check flash settings, the fix is to do with hardware accelleration
[17:03] <bazhang> user__, fullscreen flash and disable hardware acceleration
[17:03] <IntuitiveNipple> ResQue: That PPA file probably has dependencies on OTHER library .deb files which you need also
[17:03] <user__> bazhang, ThinkT510 how can I do that?
[17:03] <IntuitiveNipple> Sidewinder: It might be helloworld.c !
[17:04] <babilen> Sidewinder: Likewise, but I am not going to question that further. Just wanted to make sure that Yoshimi-pink arrives safely in #ubuntu* land :)
[17:04] <ThinkT510> user__: rightclick in a flash vid and chose settings?
[17:04] <Brustofski-Fan> !Broadcom
[17:04] <Elsegundariio> eiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[17:04] <ResQue> IntuitiveNipple: wouldnt it tell me when i run the PPA that there are dependences needed and not just gray out the install button
[17:04] <wylde> user__: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue
[17:05] <user__> ThinkT510, bazhang, thank you it worked :)
[17:05] <Sidewinder> babilen, No problem, what so ever; just provocative and interesting, if you know what I mean. :)
[17:05] <gridbag> whats the app that lets me disable window animation?
[17:05] <IntuitiveNipple> ResQue: It should, yes, if it is loading the archiver app. What happens when you try installing it from a terminal using sudo dpkg -i <package>  ? that should tell you what is wrong
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> gridbag: myunity or ccsm
[17:06] <gridbag> ActionParsnip, why isn't that installed?
[17:06] <ResQue> IntuitiveNipple: thank you, i will try that now
[17:06] <LgL_> i checked the log files now and i think i found out what happend.
[17:06] <LgL_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/969603/
[17:06] <LgL_> its an update
[17:06] <LgL_> ;(
[17:06] <ThinkT510> LgL_: told you
[17:07] <LgL_> killed by samba
[17:08] <walidvb_> is there anyway to check if cpu still has full capacities?
[17:08] <gridbag> oh, that's why.
[17:09] <ThinkT510> gridbag: ccsm isn't recommended because you can very easily wreck unity
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> gridbag: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> !info myunity
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> gridbag: sudo apt-get install myunity
[17:10] <LgL_> ThinkT510: is there anything easy to do abut this?
[17:12] <ThinkT510> LgL_: about what?
[17:12] <chandan> hi, I am having some problem with installing team viewer in ubuntu 12.04
[17:13] <ThinkT510> chandan: works here
[17:14] <LgL_> this is how it look like were the system hangs in the boot
[17:14] <LgL_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/969630/
[17:14] <benjamindaines> for some reason I can't get into the grub menu at boot.  I've tried holding shift (using a mac with refit) from after selecting the boot drive in refit, from when the screen blacks before grub starts loading, and from when the blinking cursor at the top of the screen shows up.... all just end up at the ubuntu splash screen.  ideas?
[17:15] <smw> benjamindaines, I think you need to press escape
[17:15] <walidvb_> how can i check my cpu's health?
[17:15] <D4mian> hi guys
[17:15] <smw> or increase the wait time in /boot/grub/grub.conf
[17:15] <D4mian> i have a problem :-(
[17:15] <smw> walidvb_, health?
[17:15] <walidvb_> (i run the same apps as a friend, and my cpu usage is 5 times bigger)
[17:15] <D4mian> any can healp me please ?
[17:16] <ThinkT510> D4mian: then you want a solution
[17:16] <smw> !anyone | D4mian
[17:16] <benjamindaines> smw: in 12.04?
[17:16] <walidvb_> smw: i just want to check if my cpu is bad, and therefore if the problem comes from there or not
[17:16] <smw> benjamindaines, yes
[17:16] <D4mian> oks, tnx
[17:16] <walidvb_> smw: i have a friend running the same apps as me with lower config, and he has better performance.
[17:16] <D4mian> i have a problem with wifi
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> smw: you change wait time in /etc/default/grub   /boot/grub/grub.conf is not to be editted
[17:17] <D4mian> i have a broadcom , but is not working
[17:17] <KarmaComa> Hi, on Kubuntu 12.04 every time i disable DPMS i find it enabled itself after sometime!
[17:17] <D4mian> when i wake up today is not working
[17:17] <escott> benjamindaines, can your keyboard interact with the bios?
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> D4mian: broadcom make a wide range of network devices using wired and wireless, which are you using?
[17:17] <smw> ActionParsnip, /boto/grub/grub.conf is great for temporary edits
[17:17] <walidvb_> smw: any idea?
[17:17] <smw> ActionParsnip, even if it is overridden when a new kernel is installed
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> smw: maybe but for permanent edits you should edit it in the correct way
[17:18] <smw> ActionParsnip, I agree
[17:18] <benjamindaines> smw: yes, should be able to anyway... I've gotten into it before but can't now for some reason
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> smw: good habits and all that ;)
 i dont know
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> D4mian: wireless or wired?
[17:18] <D4mian> wireless
[17:18] <KarmaComa> DPMS people
[17:18] <D4mian> im conected by rj45
[17:19] <smw> benjamindaines, change the wait time so that the menu shows up
[17:19] <`prixon> I heard some people say that they're waiting for a while before installing 12.04 in order to wait for a more stable edition. how long would you recommend someone to wait? what is a reasonable amount of time?
[17:19] <jamiem93> Hello?
[17:19] <jamiem93> Could I get a bit of assistance please?
[17:19] <chandan> was disconnected...
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | D4mian
[17:19] <walidvb_> jamiem93: ?ask
[17:19] <smw> !ask | jamiem93
[17:19] <jamiem93> Right thanks.
[17:19] <chandan> I am trying to install teamviewer in 12.04 and go this error http://pastebin.com/4PzwYAbv
[17:19] <wylde> `prixon: until the point release, I believe that is in July?
[17:19] <walidvb_> smw: haha wrong syntax ;)
[17:19] <OerHeks> 'prixon, usually some people wait for 12.04.1
[17:20] <ThinkT510> `prixon: well, 10.04 to 12.04 upgrades usually start after the first .1 release
[17:20] <jamiem93> I have a Dell Inspiron 910 and it's showing me the unmountable boot volume error.
[17:20] <D4mian> but, im using the restricted soft from broadcom
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> chandan: what will you be doing on the remote system using teamviewer?
[17:20] <jamiem93> I've tried booting via USB and it's not showing the partition, is the SSD dead?
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> jamiem93: I'd boot to liveCD and fsck the partition
[17:20] <jamiem93> I've tried.
[17:20] <chandan> ActionParsnip, some office work.. :)
[17:20] <jamiem93> It won't boot anything.
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> jamiem93: hmm, doesn't sound great
[17:20] <smw> walidvb_, as for your problem, "cpu health" does not make sense
[17:20] <jamiem93> You think the SSD is dead?
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> chandan: so accessing files to edit them?
[17:21] <`prixon> and then they will upload a new edition to the ubuntu site?
[17:21] <walidvb_> smw: i thought it wasn't really the right term
[17:21] <ThinkT510> `prixon: yes
[17:21] <D4mian> bus still not working, look if a make a iwconfing, say point: not-associates and the tx-power= of
[17:21] <D4mian> f
[17:21] <D4mian> why ?
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> jamiem93: i've not used SSD so not aware of the finer points of them
[17:21] <walidvb_> smw: but i still need to check if it's still fully operationnal
[17:21] <chandan> ActionParsnip, may be... shall we talk about resovling the installation issue ?
[17:21] <jamiem93> Most netbooks use SSD.
[17:21] <jamiem93> I'm physically not able to boot anything.
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> chandan: if thats all you need, you can install openssh-server and get an SFTP server you can mount using nautilus on a client machine, no need for teamviewer
[17:21] <ToMo_> i migated to ubuntu from mint, because heard of that the first one is better for mobile computers, and it is indeed, my laptop is not so warm now
[17:21] <smw> walidvb_, cpus tend not to break partially
[17:22] <polo> salut
[17:22] <jamiem93> I can run a distro using a USB but I can't install onto the partition.
[17:22] <smw> walidvb_, if your computer boots, your cpu is probably fine
[17:22] <jamiem93> It doesn't exist.
[17:22] <smw> walidvb_, (the same can not be said of ram which is why we have memtest)
[17:22] <D4mian> i make a wlan0 up and the system say: imposible becouse de frecunsy is desactivated
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> jamiem93: could use testdisk to reform the partitions if you know the size I guess
[17:22] <walidvb_> smw: hm ok... so where would you look for the problem?
[17:22] <chandan> ActionParsnip, good alternative, thanks :)
[17:22] <walidvb_> smw: i'll try that
[17:22] <jamiem93> I'vI haven't thought about that.
[17:22] <`prixon> I have a new laptop and I can't decide whether to wait for this release or part the drive already, cause I don't want to make the drive all messy before I install ubuntu
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> chandan: faster too, by a LOT
[17:23] <jamiem93> Can that boot via USB?
[17:23] <`prixon> what would you recommend?
[17:23] <smw> walidvb_, nothing in your computer can break making it run slower
[17:23] <chandan> ActionParsnip, but again.. I am curious to install teamviewer...
[17:23] <smw> walidvb_, at least, not in commercial setups
[17:23] <jamiem93> All I can get to is the windows loading screen, then it just hangs.
[17:23] <walidvb_> smw: so it's defo software
[17:23] <smw> walidvb_, must be
[17:23] <chandan> ActionParsnip, i will learn about open ssh :)
[17:23] <walidvb_> smw: hmm.. clean install could do, then, eventually..?
[17:23] <smw> walidvb_, at least not in consumer* setups
[17:23] <D4mian> any can healp me ? :-(
[17:24] <smw> walidvb_, no idea. I don't understand the problem
[17:24] <foolove> how can i toggle through top???  i run the top command and want to scroll down
[17:24] <rachael_> Hi can anyone help me, I'm having a problem with my sound. I'm on ubuntu 10.04 and I have had no problems with my sound but today I turned on the laptop and it detects no sound hardware.
[17:24] <walidvb_> smw: well, we run a sort of extended skype dev'ed by SAT in montreal, with manipulation of video
[17:25] <walidvb_> on the dev's computer, it runs with cpus at 40%, and here, on a better setup, they go to 100% almost all the time
[17:25] <`prixon> ThinkT510, wylde, 0erHeks, what would you recommend?
[17:25] <rachael_> ?
[17:25] <nibbler_> foolove, top does not allow this - use a smaller font to see more iirc. use ps to get a process list (efi or waxl as parameter)
[17:25] <smw> walidvb_, same hardware?
 can you healpme ?
[17:25] <walidvb_> smw: nope
[17:25] <ThinkT510> `prixon: 12.04 has been a pleasant surprise for me
[17:25] <walidvb_> our's is supposed to be more powerfull
[17:25] <smw> walidvb_, perhaps his hardware is faster?
[17:26] <rachael_> Can anyone tell me how I can update my ubuntu 10.04 to ubuntu 12.04 without using a CD as im on a netbook, is there some sort of wubi for ubuntu?
[17:26] <smw> walidvb_, which one was quicker?
[17:26] <walidvb_> smw: he said that no
[17:26] <wylde> `prixon: if you're wanting to install the desktop version I'd say go ahead. I've been using 12.04 right from Alpha, I have had NO serious issues since release whatsoever. :)
[17:26] <smw> walidvb_, perhaps his hard drives are slower?
[17:26] <IdleOne> !upgrade | rachael_
[17:26] <walidvb_> smw: his has better perfs,  we have better setup
[17:26] <rachael_> thanks
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> rachael_: just run:  sudo do-release-upgrade
[17:26] <ozpy> Hi. I run ubuntu 12.04. My Sandisk SD card is not working and can't be formated on gparted. I used to have a recovery SD card software on Vista. What to do if I can read/write/format my SD card?
[17:27] <Khmerog> anyone familiar with joliOS? do you know if it is based on Ubuntu?
[17:27] <ozpy> Ubuntu recognizes the card but can't read/write/format
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> rachael_: or you can mount the alternate precise ISO and run the upgrade script there
[17:27] <`prixon> and what would you say is a suitable size for the ubuntu partition and was a suitable size for the windows-7 one?
[17:27] <derekchiang> d
[17:27] <smw> walidvb_, there are numerous reasons that I do not feel like debugging
[17:27] <rachael_> rachael@rachael-laptop:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade
[17:27] <rachael_> Checking for a new ubuntu release
[17:27] <rachael_> No new release found
[17:27] <IdleOne> Khmerog: it is based on Ubuntu but not supported here. try the jolios forums
[17:27] <smw> walidvb_, most of them being he has better or worse hardware
[17:27] <computa_mike> quick question : Tried knocking up a quickly application, using ubuntu quickly.  I've noticed that if you pop a toolbar onto a glade designer form, there's no option to add any toolbar buttons onto it - anyone else getting this?
[17:27] <walidvb_> smw: ok, any pointers though maybe?
[17:27] <nibbler_> hi. i'm trying to upload a config file from a switch to my tftpd-hpa default installation. sadly it times out on the switch, the chatter of the failed upload is here:http://nopaste.info/6e7d2f373a.html - i seems like the tftp server is not opening the (agreed on?) port?
[17:27] <walidvb_> he has worse
[17:28] <wylde> `prixon: I'm probably not the best to advise on that, I only have my ubuntu partitions :) /boot / and /home
[17:28] <Khmerog> damn..i was hoping they had a IRC room but  :(
[17:28] <smw> walidvb_, did his take longer overall?
[17:28] <oCean> rachael_, ActionParsnip you have to pass the -d option to do-release-upgrade, by default it will ony show a new .1 release, so 12.04.1
[17:28] <smw> walidvb_, it could have been waiting on IO (hard drives)
[17:28] <Khmerog>  /join lubuntu
[17:28] <walidvb_> it's not about time, it's about cpu usage while running the app. it introduces enormous latencies on our side. video is buffered in the RAM, though, so that could also be it(?)
[17:29] <ThinkT510> `prixon: i use 10gb partition for ubuntu, only 6gb full, but i have a seperate storage partition
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> oCean: -d is for the deveopment release, which precise isn't anymore
[17:29] <Khmerog> i have seen videos of workspace switchers, when they switch its like a 3d cube how do i get this?
[17:29] <oCean> ActionParsnip: then it will not show a "new" release until 12.04.1
[17:29] <IdleOne> Khmerog: ask the jolios people
[17:30] <Khmerog> actually its for Ubuntu
[17:30] <Sir_Leto> The Ati catalyst menu doesn't have overscan settings, could I possibly do this via x.org configs?
[17:31] <Sir_Leto> I haven't touched them since the 8th grade, when ubuntu had problems with intel integrated video cards.
[17:31] <bazhang> !ccsm > Khmerog
[17:31] <wylde> Khmerog: that's provided by compiz, and it doesn't play nice with unity. I've tried :)
[17:31] <smw> walidvb_, you could nice the program to bring down latency
[17:31] <smw> walidvb_, but using more cpu is considered a good thing because things get done faster
[17:31] <ghabit> hello. Anyone using eiskaltdcpp? transmission 'steals' all the magnet links (
[17:32] <walidvb_> smw: i do have CPU overheat sometimes when i boot, btw... :/ but fans are running and all, so i don't know why
[17:32] <VirtualBlackness> Sir_Leto: you would have to create a custom modline. Is a bit of a pain.
[17:32] <walidvb_> smw: hm i have a lot of quality constraints as well, and the app is simply heavy on cpus
[17:32] <calico> Hello! I cannot start my Windows 7 and I need to open it, help please
[17:33] <smw> walidvb_, that is what nice is for
[17:33] <smw> walidvb_, also, overheating cpu is a hardware problem :-P
[17:33] <bazhang> calico, is ubuntu related somehow?
[17:33] <walidvb_> smw: let me google that
[17:33] <walidvb_> ^^
[17:33] <ozpy> Hi. My sandisk sd card can't be readed/formatted (not locked)... 12.04 detects it but can't do anything. The SD card is the issue. How to recover it?
[17:33] <smw> walidvb_, get one of those cool liquid cooling systems :-P
[17:33] <`prixon> sorry, I got d/c
[17:33] <walidvb_> smw: that's why i was looking in that direction at first.
[17:33] <`prixon> and what would you say is a suitable size for the ubuntu partition and was a suitable size for the windows-7 one?
[17:33] <ThinkT510> `prixon: i use 10gb partition for ubuntu, only 6gb full, but i have a seperate storage partition
[17:33] <calico> bazhang, of course, before installing ubuntu I was able to boot my Win7 ....
[17:33] <walidvb_> smw: haha might do, or just change the computer :D
[17:34] <Sidewinder> In terminal, currently in my /home, what parameters do I need to use to cd to my external usb (sdc1) hard drive? I've tried cd /dev/sdc1/a-directory and just cd /dev/sdc1 and keep getting blah, blah "Not a directory. It's mount-point is sdc1 along with the disks uuid.
[17:34] <bazhang> calico, dual boot or wubi
[17:34] <calico> bazhang, dual boot
[17:34] <ThinkT510> `prixon: win7 is anyones guess, certainly not less than 20gb
[17:34] <stefg> ozpy: Can you see it using 'sudo fdisk -l'  ?
[17:34] <Khmerog> thank you bazhang for that info about the workspace "cube" and other customizations
[17:35] <calico> bazhang, there is win7 in grub or whatever (when starting the pc) but cannot start it
[17:35] <alankila> Sidewinder: confusion about what mount point means. /dev/sdc1 is the device node, not the mount point.
[17:35] <alankila> Sidewinder: to actually mount it, you write a command very much like "mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/somewhere" where you make a nice directory to mount it in first
[17:35] <Guest26521> ciao
[17:35] <Guest26521> !list
[17:36] <Sidewinder> alankila, It's already mounted; it's mount point is it's uuid.
[17:36] <ozpy> stefg: yes pal. I can see it. http://pastebin.com/Jp1Nw04T
[17:36] <computa_mike> oh - can I throw this out to the room - looking for ideas.... I had been trying to develop a Random DVD picker (would pick a random DVD from my collection).  Wanted an application that would run on Windows,Linux (ubuntu) and Macintosh (more as a test of x platform dev).  I tried TitaniumStudio, but while it works under windows fails miserably under ubuntu.  Any ideas for alternatives I could try?
[17:36] <alankila> Sidewinder: and where is it mounted?
[17:36] <IntuitiveNipple> Sidewinder: usually the system auto-mounts each media device in /media/xxxxxxxx
[17:36] <walidvb_> smw: thanks for your help. i guess i have to keep looking into it
[17:36] <smw> walidvb_, good luck
[17:36] <walidvb_> smw: cheers
[17:37] <Khmerog> grub or dual booting problem get Boot Repair app
[17:37] <Khmerog> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[17:37] <Sidewinder> alankila, On the desktop, I believe.
[17:37] <calico> Khisanth,  thanks I will try it now
[17:37] <VirtualBlackness> computa_mike: why not just playlist/random in vlc?
[17:37] <alankila> Sidewinder: okay, probably under /media then.
[17:37] <ozpy> stefg: I used to have a recovery software on Vista for cases like these. But I don't remember the name and run ubuntu only
[17:37] <Sidewinder> Let me try media..
[17:38] <computa_mike> VirtualBlackness: these are actual DVD's sitting on a shelf, as opposed to video clips - good idea though, and I had no idea I could do that.
[17:38] <stefg> ozpy: is the sd card really formatted with a linux file system ? (Apart from sda needing a partition table fix fdisk says the sd card is a linux filesystem)
[17:38] <computa_mike> VirtualBlackness: I'm looking to write some reviews of the DVD's, and I wanted a random picker.
[17:38] <`prixon> ok, thanks
[17:39] <Sidewinder> alankila, Same thing: cd: /media/sdc1/AzureusDownloads: No such file or directory
[17:39] <VirtualBlackness> So you would have to manually enter your entire collection to some sort of db, and then randomize?
[17:39] <alankila> Sidewinder: type "mount" and look for where /dev/sdc1 is mounted, if indeed it is mounted
[17:39] <Sidewinder> alankila, Do I need to replace the sdc1 with the uuid?
[17:40] <D4mian> anyone can healp me whit my wifi please ?
[17:40] <alankila> Sidewinder: maybe. Or label. Or whatever it chose to use if it has been automounted under /media
[17:41] <ozpy> Stefg: It was formatter on Fat32 then I formatted it to EXT3... I did format in different kinds in the past. But now it's not working
[17:41] <stefg> ozpy: so partition type 83 is plausible, right?
[17:41] <stefg> !info testdisk | ozpy
[17:41] <computa_mike> VirtualBlackness: That was the plan - I was going to import a spreadsheet (I have a spread sheet) into something like SQLlite, and then query that.  I have the data access for that done - but was struggling finding a cross platform way of running it.
[17:42] <stefg> !info photorec
[17:42] <PW-toXic> hi, i have ubuntu 10.4 and i want to update to 12.4 .. how can I do this?
[17:42] <zykotic10> stefg: photorec is in the testdisk package
[17:42] <Sidewinder> alankila, Yea, it's the uuid; that's what's been throwing me off. I thought that since it showed up as sdc1, under lshw, that I could just use that and save some typing; I guess not,, :( Thank you very much for the help.
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | PW-toXic
[17:42] <stefg> zykotic10: thanks, didn't know that
[17:42] <ozpy> Stefg: I have no clue about type 83 thing.. I can give a try if you instruct me how.
[17:43] <stefg> ozpy: what happens if you give 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt'
[17:44] <PW-toXic> ActionParsnip, do i need to update to all versions in between?
[17:44] <zykotic10> ozpy: when you say you reformatted, did you delete the windows partition and create a linux one first?
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> PW-toXic: no, you can upgrade LTS -> LTS directly ;)
[17:44] <Anyone754> How do you configure ubuntu to boot like the way knoppix boots?
[17:44] <madpup> Hi, ive just upgraded to 12.04 and im getting a boot lockup where the screen stays black and the capslock flashes, but it doesnt happen all the time.  any ideas?
[17:45] <zykotic10> PW-toXic: the LTS->LTS upgrade isn't offered by default until the first point release, see !schedule for date.  (it's possible now, but i don't know how)
[17:45] <stefg> madpup: that's a kernel panic.... check your hardware (memtest+)
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> madpup: flashing capslock etc is a kernel panic
[17:46] <PW-toXic> zykotic10, so how about updating through all minor versions?
[17:46] <madpup> darn.............hope my laptop isnt busted. to memtest!!!! brb
[17:46] <PW-toXic> !schedule
[17:46] <zykotic10> PW-toXic: that's insane
[17:46] <distsys> Hello Ubu tu Community :)
[17:46] <PW-toXic> zykotic10, why?
[17:47] <wylde> PW-toXic zykotic10 : you can do it now with 'do-release-upgrade -d'
[17:47] <foolove> are gzip and gunzip the same thing?
[17:47] <foolove> same utility
[17:47] <ozpy> zykotic18:  I formated SD card to EXT3 only
[17:48] <distsys> hey i have updated my 12.04 successfully with the dual command apt-get update then apt-get upgrade, but when i launched the apdate manager it says that there is 6 packages that still need updates ?
[17:48] <zykotic10> ozpy: formatting and partitioning are not the same thing
[17:48] <zykotic10> !tab > ozpy
[17:48] <distsys> Could you say please what is the difference between apt-get and update manager ?
[17:48] <distsys> ?
[17:48] <distsys> Any suggestion please ? :)
[17:48] <StevenR> distsys: yes, upgrade doesn't do some packages, you want dist-upgrade
[17:48] <oCean> foolove: gunzip does nothing else than a 'exec gzip -d'
[17:49] <stefg> ozpy: did you try to mount the card? (see above for command) Any error messages ?
[17:49] <StevenR> distsys: I use:  sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:49] <calico> Khisanth,  it did no work ....
[17:49] <ozpy> stefg: One sec. Almost there. Had an issue with my terminal
[17:50] <Anyone754> How do configure the ubuntu boot process to automaticly scan and reconfigure hardware?
[17:50] <calico> Khisanth,  all it did is it created a Windows Vista option in grub and can't load id nor can I load my win7
[17:50] <stefg> Anyone754: you don't... it does that already
[17:50] <Khmerog> anyone754 doesnt it do it automatically
[17:51] <stefg> !grub | calico
[17:51] <Anyone754> not very good, when booting on multiple computer systems.
[17:51] <calico> stefg, I installed ubuntu over my win7 not the other way around
[17:52] <jjtcomkid> For some reason, I cannot log in to my main account, but my other temporary accounts work.  I am running 12.04 and whenever I try to login to my main account, I end up back at the login screen
[17:52] <calico> stefg, i just ran the grub repairing thingy and it gave me that http://paste.ubuntu.com/969690/
[17:52] <distsys> StevenR: So you use the distupgrade instead of upgrade
[17:52] <ozpy> stefg: http://pastebin.com/r3vwJCzF

[17:52] <Anyone754> Is there a way to make the ubuntu boot process similar to knoppix?
[17:52] <aguitel> anyone knew de guy erUSUL ?
[17:53] <distsys> but distupgrade will upgrade to the next distribution if available
[17:53] <distsys> :)
[17:53] <distsys> no ?
[17:53] <damian0815> more info: i am using dbus-launch in jobA.conf to get $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID, i want to pass these two variables to jobB.conf

[17:54] <Khmerog> anyone rubbing ubuntu with hardware specs lower than Pnetium 4 1.7Ghz + 2GB Ram? if so how is the performance? is it slow?
[17:54] <bazhang> distsys, thats not right
[17:54] <zykotic10> yothsoggoth: FYI you don't need CTRL in VT to switch, just ALT+F7 will work to return to Xorg
[17:54] <distsys> bazhang: what is right so ? :)
[17:54] <bazhang> !dist-upgrade | distsys
[17:55] <yothsoggoth> zykotic10: thanks for the tip :D
[17:55] <jjtcomkid> the terminal works as normal
[17:55] <stefg> ozpy: 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt'  ... no typos allowed
[17:55] <patson> hmm.. right. after the latest batch of security updates, the flash plugin stopped working in chromium and firefox. any ideas?
[17:55] <bs0d> Good day everybody
[17:55] <bazhang> patson, blue video?
[17:55] <yothsoggoth> jjtcomkid: Have you tried using a different Desktop Environment when you log in? If you click the little icon on the login prompt you should see options for things like Fallback Mode or something, see if you can login to that maybe?
[17:56] <ozpy> stefg: Now i was able to format it back to fat 32 but I can't open it.
[17:56] <Gallomimia> i thought we used ubuntu so there wouldn't be a bs0d?
[17:56] <patson> bazhang: no, it doesn't even load.
[17:56] <stefg> ozpy: your command was wrong
[17:56] <jjtcomkid> yeah, ive tried all of them
[17:56] <yothsoggoth> jjtcomkid: and the same thing happens for each one?
[17:56] <jjtcomkid> yep
[17:56] <oCean> aguitel: if you have something that is not support specific, you could try #ubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu-irc or our operator channel #ubuntu-ops
[17:56] <noneusr> hello anyone know if the printer canon imageclass d761 is compatible with ubuntu?
[17:56] <wylde> Khmerog: only example I have is a pair of old machines (1.3GHz 256MB RAM) that are thin clients using lubuntu-desktop fro a "server" (Core Duo 3.2 GHZ, 4 GB RAM) and they run great :)
[17:56] <stefg> ozpy: ok... so you don't want to recover data, you just want to reformat it and have an empty drive ?
[17:56] <calico> ok, I NEED to start my Windows 7, could someone really help me. It's dual boot, I installed ubuntu over my win7. I tried the repair boot thingy but it didn't work http://paste.ubuntu.com/969690/
[17:57] <jjtcomkid> the screen shows Checking battery state: [OK] and then goes back to the login screen
[17:57] <bazhang> noneusr, what does linuxprinting.org have to say abou t that printer
[17:57] <ozpy> stefg: Yes.
[17:57] <distsys> ok so
[17:57] <stefg> ozpy: ahhh ... thats easy
[17:57] <Gallomimia> wylde: used to use p90 as the thin client and the p1.3g and 256mgb ram as the host ;)
[17:57] <distsys> please how can i access the synaptic manager in the 12.04 ?
[17:57] <yothsoggoth> jjtcomkid: Well I'm out of suggestions I'm afraid. Your best bet is probably to see if you can find a bug report if somebody else has the same problem, if not file one yourself
[17:58] <distsys> is it already installed ? :)
[17:58] <wylde> Khmerog: I'm sure the specs you mentioned should handle it fine, although if you use a lighter desktop say lubuntu-desktop, IMO it will run great :)
[17:58] <ozpy> stefg: i want to be able to use it. It's formated to fat32 on gparted... but man, I can't write or read it. it's not locked
[17:58] <patson> hmm, nevermind.. reinstalling flashplugin-installer fixed it
[17:58] <stefg> ozpy: first of all lets get rid of all the junk: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4k
[17:58] <distsys> !synaptic
[17:58] <jjtcomkid> How should I do that?
[17:58] <aselox> is there a keyboard combination to open the unity Dash?
[17:58] <bs0d> I had only one signle user who uses X desktop, now I have created another user .. how to set up graphical login prompt that I could choose user account to log in ?
[17:58] <Anyone754> reinstall windows 7 and to configure grub
[17:58] <yothsoggoth> jjtcomkid: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[17:59] <jjtcomkid> Thank you.
[17:59] <ki4ro> Thought synaptic went away?
[17:59] <stefg> ozpy: say when it's done ...
[17:59] <Khmerog> thanks wylde and yes lubuntu runs great on my Laptop but it is very XP-like so it looks boring
[17:59] <justin__> Hey #ubuntu, I haven't been able to find an answer to this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124087/ring-switcher-is-not-automatically-selecting-the-windows-on-key-release, can anyone help?
[18:00] <wylde> Khmerog: the defult yeah, You could try Xubuntu, those spec should handle that exceptionally well to.
[18:00] <wylde> Khmerog: you can always customize the desktop, a little work and ou can have a killer desktop ;)
[18:00] <joe_smack> hold superkey for unity keyboard shortcuts
[18:00] <Gallomimia> so... i was struggling to get a livecd to install ubuntu last night. no idea why it failed still. but i have to share with the channel that after making it clear that i didn't want to boot this cd while his windows drive is plugged in, my friend, after i go to sleep, plugs the windows drive in and formats it with the live cd. trying to feel sympathy but that's like being upset that you cut yourself with a knife.
[18:00] <Khmerog> in terms of hardware-less specs  it goes Lubuntu -->Kubuntu-->ubuntu correct?
[18:01] <wylde> Khmerog: lubuntu-> Xubuntu  -> IMO ubuntu vs kubuntu is a trade-off.
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Gallomimia: just use your backups...
[18:02] <Gallomimia> ActionParsnip: its not my computer and i don't care about backups.
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Khmerog: you can make ubuntu even lighter by installing minimal, then installing openbox and slim :)
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> Gallomimia: i see
[18:02] <wireless> hi does ubuntu support PC's with lots of RAM? 16gigs?
[18:03] <bs0d> Could you please give me some manual on how to configure login prompt in default Ubuntu window manager? I have never used it before, unfortunately and need some help
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> Khmerog: should come in at little over 1Gb installed
[18:03] <Gallomimia> lots of ram.
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> wireless: 16Gb isn't lots of RAM
[18:03] <escott> wireless, yes
 If you've installed ubuntu over windows, then you would need to reinstall windows. Boot into ubuntu and then get online to search how to modify grub. You can download and use the ubuntu alternate disk to reinstall grub.
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> wireless: the 64Bit Ubuntu can support 4Eb of RAM
[18:03] <Khmerog> 16gb of ram...thats a lot for a PC
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> Khmerog: not in this day and age
[18:04] <Gallomimia> it is "lots" of ram in the personal department
[18:04] <Khmerog> but thanks u guy i will download ubuntu 32 bit to try out..
[18:04] <wireless> wow! Thanks guys
[18:04] <Gallomimia> if you're talking about servers your sticks should probably be that size each
 There are ways to edit grub through the terminal
[18:04] <Khmerog> all Linux OS distros use GRUB for booting, correct?
[18:04] <stefg> Khmerog: can you imagine that servers might have 256G of RAM... even more for scientific machines?
[18:04] <wireless> Has anyone else been having loads of problems with ubuntu 12.04? I had tons of issues with it..all kinds of bugs. Lots of programs wont work, the unity menu is ALL messed up..and I've had friends say the same.
[18:04] <calico> Anyone754, I meant I installed it allogside Win7. I ran the repair grub program, all it did is it added vista to the menu...
[18:05] <ozpy> stefg: sorry about that but my sistem crashed when I introduced the last instructions you gave me
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> Khmerog: some uses LILO, but its rare
[18:05] <ozpy> It completely froze
[18:05] <wylde> Khmerog: can't say for sure, but it's most common.
[18:05] <justin__> wireless: same here. unity in particular is really messed up, especially the window switchers, e.g. ring switcher etc
[18:06] <ozpy> Stefg: I notice I can't scroll up on this chat too. Please send the instructions again. Sorry about that. Dont'  know what happened
[18:06] <kapz> how do i minimize evolution to tray like deluge or xchat? Am using ubuntu 12.04 gnome.
[18:06] <ChrisH_> Hi, I have dual booted windows and ubuntu. But I would like to directly load ubuntu without going through the grub menu
[18:06] <ChrisH_> How di I do that?
[18:06] <ChrisH_> *do
[18:06] <Fyodorovna> ChrisH_, did you install ubuntu from windows?
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> ChrisH_: Grub is needed, even if you single boot
[18:06] <escott> ChrisH_, it should have a timeout. if you just wait it should boot ubuntu
[18:07] <ChrisH_> Fyodorovna: No
[18:07] <yothsoggoth> ChrisH_: you can just set the GRUB timeout to 0 or 1, then it will pretty much boot straight into ubuntu
[18:07] <Fyodorovna> ChrisH_, cool some will call that a dual boot.
[18:07] <ChrisH_> yothsoggoth: where do I edit the settings?
[18:07] <ChrisH_> yothsoggoth: I haven;'t used ubuntu in a while, I am not used to grub 2
[18:07] <stefg> ozpy: what the command did is overwriting /dev/sdb (the SD-card) with zeroes. if your system crashes when doing so it might be a hardware issue. Here's the command again: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4k  be sure to run it on the correct device... it nukes everything there
[18:08] <kapz> anyone using evolution and minimize it to tray...
[18:08] <Fyodorovna> ChrisH_, be careful seting it to 0 you may not be able to get to the recovery kernel if neded.
[18:08] <bs0d> What is the name of default Ubuntu desktop manager? That is set up after installation
[18:08] <Fyodorovna> bs0d, unity
[18:08] <ChrisH_> Fyodorovna: No worries. I have a live CD which can do most of the stuff I guess
[18:08] <ozpy> Stefg: Let me try again and await some minutes.
[18:08] <fg> Hi
[18:09] <Fyodorovna> ChrisH_, exactly, might need a chroot though.
[18:09] <yothsoggoth> ChrisH_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 That should help you find what you're looking for. Also, be aware of what Fyodorovna said, you shouldn't really set it to 0 incase you ever need to boot the recovery kernel, but setting it to 1 is fine
[18:09] <fg> When i type "apt-get -f install" i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/969730/
[18:09] <fg> Can anyone help me?
[18:10] <liiinhares> administrcao12
[18:10] <liiinhares> administracao12
[18:10] <Khmerog> Can i put 2 OS on 1 disc to start up/boot up install, example Ubuntu 12.04 and Xubuntu 12.04.
[18:10] <liiinhares> oii
[18:10] <bs0d> Fyodorovna: do you accidently know how to configure login prompt in unity? I log in without any prompt atm, but I have added one more user and need to set up login prompt for it
[18:10] <Gallomimia> liiinhares: i'm going to suggest typing root password in this channel is a bad idea
[18:11] <Fyodorovna> Khmerog, there are a number of usb loaders that wil multiboot.
[18:11] <Gallomimia> people surf the channel with the list of ip's and try those passwords on your ip
[18:11] <Fyodorovna> *will
[18:11] <Simul> Hello, people. I am trying to install "installer for Microsoft Trutype fonts". Somwhow I accidentally disagred to the licence. Now, it won't install...
[18:12] <yothsoggoth> bs0d: I think that's an option in your user settings, to "Log in Automatically", choose the other option and you should see the login prompt
[18:12] <Khmerog> oppz
[18:12] <Khmerog> did i spam that?
[18:13] <justin__> I haven't been able to find an answer to this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124087/ring-switcher-is-not-automatically-selecting-the-windows-on-key-release, can anyone help?
[18:13] <Fyodorovna> bs0d, as suggested should be in user accounts
[18:13] <yothsoggoth> justin__: Have you checked to see if there's a bug report for it? If not you should probably file one
[18:13] <bs0d> yothsoggoth: it allows to switch only one account for automatic login :( either first or second, but not both .. and it doesn't show login prompt, to choose a user :(
[18:13] <daftykins> Simul: how are you installing it? graphically or via CLI?
[18:14] <Simul> Graphically, daftykins.
[18:14] <Fyodorovna> bs0d, not sure if you have to be logged into that account to do it though, could be done from the cli I suspect but I don't know the command
[18:14] <escott> Khmerog, yes and no. the traditional way to do this is to share a home partition. an expiremental method would be to use btrfs subvolumes, the biggest problem is that they will fight over the bootloader and who controls the boot
[18:14] <justin__> yothsoggoth: Haven't checked, I can try that.  I was hoping it was a simple config file modification :)
[18:14] <yothsoggoth> bs0d: You should disable automatic login for all accounts, that way the login prompt should be shown
[18:15] <daftykins> Simul: does the graphical app give you a purge option? rather than just a remove perhaps
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> bs0d: default desktop environment is Gnome, default Window manager is Compiz, default shell is Unity
[18:16] <Nk26> how wise is it to do a dist upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04?
[18:16] <BreoganGal> ubuntu-es
[18:16] <Simul> daftykins: just remove. I've tried remove/install, natch, but it remembers I disadreed...
[18:16] <daftykins> Nk26: fine if you backup :>
[18:16] <audr> Hello all, can someone tell me how to get a java version 0_32 as a web plugin? My javaws -version says I hava 0_32, but I have no plugin
[18:17] <Nk26> I guess i meant release upgrade butya you know what i meant haha
[18:17] <bazhang> Nk26, its version upgrade not dist upgrade, and its fine
[18:17] <daftykins> Simul: i wonder if it planted anything in your home directory. tried looking with hidden options on?
[18:17] <yothsoggoth> Nk26: It should go fine. I did that and had no problems. Like daftykins said though, backing up first is always a good idea.
[18:17] <tensorpudding> Nk26, use the upgrade tool, i recommend
[18:17] <Simul> Nk26: don't know how wise it was, but  I just upgraded o 12.04 minutes ago and it seems OK so far.
[18:17] <tensorpudding> though, it's also okay to do a clean install once in a while
[18:18] <lars_> i have a usb/bluetooth keyboard and have to change udev rules for it to work, but when i boot in safe mode it does not apply, how do i make this change to apply in safemode too please?
[18:18] <Nk26> thx all
[18:18] <audr> Can anyone tell me how to get a 0_32 java version for web plugin?
[18:19] <Simul> :: looking at that ::
[18:22] <fOCUSON> mix 2/2 low on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[18:22] <bazhang> fOCUSON, wrong channel
[18:22] <Simul> I see a .fontconfig dir with files like "7ef2298fde41cc6eeb7af42e48b7d293-le32d4.cache-3"
[18:23] <lgp171188> Hi, I tried to install ubuntu 12.04 on my just purchased HP g4 1201tx laptop that has a AMD graphics card. I am able to start the USB boot and I get the purple screen with accessibility icon for a few seconds and a cursor blinking in the screen after that. Then the display gets switched off. I am unable to proceed with the installation due to this
[18:23] <bazhang> lgp171188, using nomodeset?
[18:23] <daftykins> Simul: try renaming it temporarily to see if anything changes
[18:23] <bazhang> !nomodeset | lgp171188
[18:24] <daftykins> lgp171188: otherwise try the alternate install CD
[18:26] <lotus-blade> is there an easy way to update the hosts file with my dynamic address
[18:27] <daftykins> why would you need to put your internet-side IP in your hosts?
[18:27] <oscarpaats> stefg: I can't access the SD card. Gparted does not recognizes it
[18:27] <lgp171188> bazhang: Let me try that. When I booted into Windows installed on that machine, the AMD Radeon control center said something like "your computer has two gpus - one with low capabilities and another with higher capabilities that you can turn on on demand.  It is at 0_23 and I need it at 0_32
[18:28] <simon__> Hi, I really need some help enlarging the pointer size on 12.04, I have followed this http://askubuntu.com/questions/126491/how-do-i-change-the-cursor-and-its-size and created a .Xresources but it wont work. It's an upgrade for a partially sighted person and this is a real show stopper... help?
[18:28] <simon__> sorry
[18:28] <simon__> Hi, I really need some help enlarging the pointer size on 12.04, I have followed this http://askubuntu.com/questions/126491/how-do-i-change-the-cursor-and-its-size and created a .Xresources but it wont work. It's an upgrade for a partially sighted person and this is a real show stopper... help?
[18:28] <zykotic10> simon__: for whatever reason, it seems compiz affects the pointer theme... good luck.
[18:28] <bazhang> simon__, please dont double post
[18:29] <simon__> I apologied, the first was a mistake
[18:29] <daftykins> lgp171188: that's quite common
[18:29] <bs0d> I have a very strange affair ... I hope you guys could help me solve it.
[18:29] <daftykins> lotus-blade: does the game server you're running require the local IP be known then? doesn't make much sense to me to need it in the hosts file
[18:30] <simon__> zykotic10: so by 'good luck' do you mean, it's not going to happen?
[18:30] <solsTiCe> hi. I am using the alternate install. How am I supposed to enter the 64 cahracter of my WPA2 key in the text filed ? I have this key in a text file on a usb key ? how can I copy and paste it ?to a relevant file ?
[18:30] <wylde> lotus-blade: what you're asking for makes little sense. Please explain your desired result.
[18:30] <bs0d> Problem is, when I log in as a user ( in desktop manager ) and run psql command, I get an error: Connection requires a valid certificate.   When I run su - admin and psql - connection ok. When I log in as this user from CLI ( no X desktop ) connection is ok
[18:30] <zykotic10> simon__: i'm not sure.  by "good luck" i mean, "good luck" ;)
[18:30] <simon__> zykotic10: ok thanks
[18:30] <bs0d> Problems arise when I log in as this user from desktop manager. Does anybody have any ideas why this could happen?
[18:31] <wylde> lotus-blade: if you want to connect to the machine you're currenty using the addresses localhost and <IP_ADDRESS> will acomplish that.
[18:31] <audr> Can anyone tell me why the minecraft browser screen is blank for 11.1?
[18:32] <daftykins> bs0d: it's probably needing to bind to a network socket, which the user doesn't have permissions to do - but root does
[18:32] <daftykins> oh you said it works at CLI
[18:33] <mohd> sary: http://paste.ubuntu.com/969781/
[18:34] <bs0d> daftykins: yes, it works at CLI when I hit Ctrl+F1 and login as this user and issue same command - connection to db is established. but when I try from xterm ( or whatever it is here in window manager ) I get error "Connection requires a valid certificate"
[18:36] <daftykins> bs0d: tried locating a channel for that db? i assume that's postgreSQL
[18:37] <horse01> Hi there, I can't connect to the amagetron server?
[18:37] <madpup> Hi i just run memtest and it passed, so im confused what else it can be
[18:38] <Othi`> hi, i have a htpc connected to my tv, worked for like a year, now i get 'no signal' after the ubuntu splash screen - this is my xorg log, it says no screens found...
[18:38] <bs0d> daftykins: yes, that's postgresql. and connection is established to remote database server using TCP... maybe this user has no access to socket or something like that
[18:39] <jiohdi> anyone one figure out how to make flash colors right again... I do not like blue people
[18:39] <Simul> daftykins: success. Renaming .fontconfig didn't do anything, but removing the fonts, then insgtalling from the CLI did the trick.
[18:39] <madpup> its a hardware decoder problem, use a flash replacement app  or disable hw
[18:40] <daftykins> Simul: cool :)
[18:40] <audr> Does anyone know how to fix the white screen for loading minecraft in browser? 11.1 (oneiric)
[18:40] <lgp171188> I have booted into the live session from the usb drive using nomodeset switch as suggested. Looks like my laptop has a dual GPU configuration and unity starts into 2d mode and not 3d. Any idea how to fix such an issue?
[18:41] <daftykins> jiohdi: nvidia graphics? using their driver?
[18:41] <bs0d> daftykins: so what is the difference between that I log in from CLI and I log in on xterm?
[18:41] <daftykins> bs0d: i have no idea, so you might be better off checking for a channel for the software
[18:42] <mbucko> im running ubuntu on oracle VM and id like to map my other drives to it.. any idea how? i tried adding the drives to shared folders but nothing new is showing in my /dev/..
[18:43] <jiohdi> daftykins, yes
[18:44] <yashwant> is any one help me how to find trojan wirus using ubuntu. When I was suing windows its came but how to remove it ?
[18:44] <jiohdi> daftykins, I am using repo pkg - nvidia-current
[18:44] <TheM4ch113> yashwant: virscan.org
[18:45] <daftykins> jiohdi: have you seen the gstreamer fiddle? fix 2 on here: http://www.wiredrevolution.com/ubuntu/fix-blue-tinted-video-in-ubuntu
[18:45] <TheM4ch113> if the file is below 20mb the upload and scan using 37 anti-v packages is free
[18:45] <Fyodorovna> yashwant, avast has a linux version it uses the same libraries as the windows one.
[18:45] <audr> Does anyone know how to fix the white screen when loading minecraft from broswer. On Ubuntu 11.1
[18:45] <Fyodorovna> yashwant, bitdefender as well, you can get a lot of av on live cd's as well
[18:45] <TheM4ch113> yashwant: I would just re-install windows to a freshly formatted partition
[18:46] <TheM4ch113> currently, I just restore a backed up partition where windows is
[18:46] <jiohdi> daftykins, not yet
[18:47] <Shirakawasuna> I just upgraded to precise and want to see what packages (if any) I installed from ppas that I just removed. Is there a way to do this (find packages that now belong to no repo, or are of a higher version than in current repos)
[18:47] <Shirakawasuna> ?
[18:47] <Fyodorovna> TheM4ch113, a clean image is your best bet that is for sure.
[18:47] <TheM4ch113> exactly
[18:48] <ubuntu-studio> hey guys, can someone tell me if i can install programs on the usb on which i am running ubuntu_
[18:49] <diamonds> I have xclip but it doesn't seem to write to my clipboard
[18:49] <zykotic10> ubuntu-studio: liveusb?  sure - but they won't be there the next time you boot
[18:49] <jrib> Shirakawasuna: aptitude has a very powerful search mechanism
[18:50] <jrib> !aptitude | Shirakawasuna
[18:50] <ubuntu-studio> ok thanks
[18:50] <jrib> Shirakawasuna: I don't know if it can do what you ask, but that's where I would start
[18:51] <diamonds> uptime | xclip
[18:51] <jrib> diamonds: ERROR
[18:51] <diamonds> ^per the example.  when I ^v in another application, I see nothing has been pasted
[18:51] <diamonds> jrib: ?
[18:51] <Shirakawasuna> hmm
[18:52] <readme> Can anyone recommend a media player (flac, mp3, ogg, etc)? I'm concerned primarily with the quality of the sound it produces. Hardware nonwithstanding, what can I use to get a better sound? I'm using banshee currently, which has a mixer but it seems using the mixer just makes the sound muddy.
[18:52] <diamonds> jrib: that was an example from the man page: I'm letting people know that's what I did
[18:52] <jrib> diamonds: tried specifying a clipboard?
[18:52] <spiritech> can someone help me try and understand ubuntu and the related desktops, mainly unity and gnome a bit better, i have been using ubuntu for about 3 years now and still cant get my head around it 100%, also if i want to run compiz and cairo-dock. which would be the best way to go - gnome or unity?
[18:52] <diamonds> jrib: no I hadn't
[18:52] <kostasm> ubuntu-studio, you can install any program in your liveusb, but it needs some customization previously. I did it one year ago, but I cannot remeber how...
[18:52] <jrib> diamonds: by default it probably goes to your X clipboard (tried middle clicking to paste)
[18:53] <audr> I installed the sun-hava6-plugin, but I don't see it in about:plugins. Only IcedTea plguin.
[18:53] <rachael_> Poop
[18:53] <RoBoCop555> ´Õ¤Ñºº
[18:53] <diamonds> jrib: yes, it does not

[18:57] <DJones> Guest82159: Perhaps look at xubuntu or lubuntu, they're aimed at machines with lower specifications
[18:57] <DJones> !xubuntu | Guest82159
[18:58] <diamonds> :(
[18:58] <DJones> !lubuntu | Guest82159
[18:58] <diamonds> I'd like to use ubuntu at work but I run into stuff like this so frequently I can't

[18:59] <specik> hey everyone
[19:00] <jrib> diamonds: did you see my questions?
[19:00] <Guest82159> everyone been saying LXDE has less memory usage I dont know if it is true. But am download it right know and going to install it on my notebook computer. I hope it works in a good way:)
[19:01] <spiritech> ubotu ok. just figured i could speak to someone on the fly for a change rather than waiting for the forums to answer.
[19:01] <specik> I'm having some issues with Ubuntu 12 .04 64-bit recognizing my 2 x 4GB of RAM. Memory tests fails saying "Memory totals not close enough". BIOS correctly detects proper amount of RAM.
[19:01] <diamonds> jrib: I'm doing it from "terminal"
[19:01] <diamonds> DISPLAY = :0
[19:01] <Tzubuntu> i have a string $username in a bash script and I'm trying to swap username for $username - I tried sed  's/username|$username|g' user.txt but that isn't working can someone tell me the right way plz?
[19:02] <diamonds> I'm not sure how to look up DISPLAY in man
[19:02] <spiritech> ubotu maybe there is another irc channel that could help. are there unity or gnome specific channels available?
[19:02] <diamonds> I tried apropos display, that didn't help of couse
[19:02] <diamonds> course
[19:03] <Guest82159> I was wondering doing a lot of screen cast on my youtube channel what is the best way to record using ubuntu??
[19:03] <jrib> diamonds: and when you tried « uptime | xclip -selection clipboard », were you then able to paste by right clicking and selecting paste?
[19:03] <yeats> Guest82159: checkout recordmydesktop
[19:04] <yeats> !info recordmydesktop | Guest82159
[19:04] <diamonds> jrib: ah that did it!
[19:04] <diamonds> jrib: wasn't that the default?
[19:04] <jrib> diamonds: default is primary (middle click to paste it)
[19:04] <diamonds> I don't have middleclick
[19:04] <Shirakawasuna> jrib: running 'deborphan' lists all the packages that you have installed but are not available from any repos/ppas. You can then run that through apt-get
[19:04] <diamonds> laptop
[19:05] <diamonds> anyway it doesn't work (I can middle click with both buttons together)
[19:05] <jrib> Shirakawasuna: I don't think that's a correct characterization of deborphan
[19:05] <jrib> diamonds: try shift-insert
[19:06] <doug> hello all. i'm fairly new to ubuntu and have a partitioning question. any takers?
[19:07] <raidhtcc> doug,  hit it
[19:09] <doug> when i set up ubuntu on a 1T drive. i made separate /boot, /usr etc. partitions. i was wonder if there is a way to go made to a sort of default partition config and how i might accomplish that.
[19:10] <samfisher> how can I make a user not to be shown in the login screen?
[19:10] <specik> hey, I have a ubuntu not detecting some of my memory problem on a 64-bit system... can anyone help with that?
[19:10] <doug> made s/b back
[19:10] <SunTsu> specik: Not detecting memory? Er, what? Could you please be more specific?
[19:11] <Shirakawasuna> jrib: hmm, you're right
[19:11] <samfisher> i had to create another user for each machine from a LAN, in order to access the machine by ssh to admin it.  Once booted into Ubuntu, it only detects 4GB. Funny thing is, it was working just a few days ago
[19:12] <kostasm> I am trying to use nanny (parental control) in my 12.04 but it crashes every 10 min (!). Any idea?
[19:12] <specik> SunTsu: Additionally, system tests fail on memory with the error "46.00 Memory totals not close enough"
[19:13] <SunTsu> specik: in a 64bit system it should show all the memory there is - minus "special" memory, under 1MB, Video Mapping, Kernel memory and such
[19:13] <B|tchX> ummm keep your kids off your baby kostasm ? lol nah...I welcome children to learn linux :-)
[19:13] <SunTsu> specik: Tried running memtest86?
[19:14] <specik> SunTsu: I did, and that only detected 4GB as well
[19:14] <dlentz> kostasm, if you start from terminal, do you get an error message?
[19:14] <escott> specik, is it properly seated in the slot
[19:14] <gunny17> hello all!  I have installed ubuntu 11.04 and some of the videos on you tube will not play on firefox.  Can anyone tell me what I have to download to have all the videos play?
[19:14] <SunTsu> specik: then something is amiss with your hardware
[19:14] <specik> Yeah, I even unseated both sticks and reseated them again
[19:15] <specik> I was afraid of that. I just don't get why it was working and now all of a sudden it's not. The only thing I changed between then and now is I installed a new power supply
[19:15] <OerHeks> !restricted | gunny17
[19:15] <jonasPlatte> gunny17: You probably have to install the Flash Plugin through the Software Center
[19:15] <dlentz> specik, no kernel updates recently?
[19:16] <kostasm> dlentz: what do you mean start from terminal? I used the gui to make the customization...
[19:16] <poptart> whats up
[19:16] <gunny17> I have tries that before but will try again...
[19:16] <dlentz> kostasm, type 'nanny' in terminal
[19:16] <gunny17> thanks
[19:16] <specik> dlentz: Yeah, there was a bunch of updates I installed recently, some of them kernel related. This is a pretty fresh system, just built it about a week ago
[19:16] <SunTsu> dlentz: not even memtest86 detects all the ram
[19:16] <manzoor> @gunny17: install flash
[19:16] <dlentz> SunTsu, oh, i missed that
[19:17] <specik> But my BIOS detects the RAM
[19:17] <kostasm> dlentz: command not found!
[19:17] <gunny17> thanks to manzoor.
[19:17] <SunTsu> specik: I don't think this is an ubuntu issue, but I'd start playing around with the memory settings in bios
[19:17] <dlentz> kostasm, ok, then i obviouosly don;t know about nanny. iwas just trying to see if it was this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nanny/+bug/958613
[19:18] <specik> SunTso, okay.. thanks for your help
[19:18] <dlentz> oh, it's "nanny-systray", not "nanny"
[19:18] <doug> when i set up ubuntu on a 1T drive. i made separate /boot, /usr etc. partitions. i was wonder if there is a way to go back to a sort of default partition config and how i might accomplish that.
[19:19] <jacobrask> Hi, I set my account to passwordless login in the user manager, but after that I can't use sudo
[19:19] <SunTsu> doug: Of course you can, although it's a lot of work and not for the faint at heart. I'd backup config and data and repartition + reinstall in your case
[19:19] <zykotic10> jacobrask: did you change any groups for your user?  OR did you change your system's hostname?
[19:20] <jacobrask> no. if I enable a password again I can sudo
[19:20] <kostasm> dlentz: hmm: nanny-admin-console    nanny-desktop-blocker  nanny-systray
[19:20] <dlentz> kostasm, ?
[19:21] <doug> i was afraid of that SunTsu. i guess it's time to do some more reading about how to back that data up. thanks
[19:21] <kostasm> dlentz: I am just printing out all nanny commands I found ...
[19:21] <dlentz> and what happens whyen you run nanny-systray?
[19:21] <kostasm> dlentz: nanny-systray
[19:21] <kostasm> Reconnecting to new nanny server instance
[19:22] <dlentz> well, when it crashes, you should get an error message
[19:22] <SunTsu> doug: well, after backuping your stuff you could try it anyway, you don't have anything to lose at that point but much to learn ;)
[19:22] <dlentz> it'll give you something more specific to google
[19:22] <jacobrask> zykotic10: what I want is to be able to login without a password but still be able to use sudo
[19:23] <Stewy> Hi all. I just installed 12.04 via Live CD (verified burn) and the install claims to be successful. On initial reboot, after I log in, the screen goes black for a few seconds and then only the background image appears with a garbled msg about "compiz". Any suggestions?
[19:23] <kostasm> dlentz, is this nanny-systray some monitoring of nanny?
[19:23] <zykotic10> jacobrask: ya.  well good luck with that.
[19:25] <doug> thanks.... lol if the learning curve was any steeper on this issue, i'd need a rocket. thanks.
[19:26] <jacobrask> something else is pretty weird now, gnome-terminal doesn't show up in alt-tab switcher..
[19:26] <ubuntu_> hello why there are so many upto sd99 entries in /dev directory while i have a singlw hdd connect??
[19:27] <manzoor> Hi guys i am totally new to linux can any one explain why linux is more secured than windows?
[19:28] <brightsparks> Hi. I'm trying to play a commercial DVD but the system is refusing to play it. It does play other dvd's though but for some reason it's refusing to play this one. Need help. Thanks.
[19:28] <kostasm> B|tchX, I do welcome children in linux! But they are only 8 to 10 years old, and they only using chat and email!
[19:28] <escott> !dvd | brightsparks
[19:29] <brightsparks> ubottu:: hi ok thanks. I'm heading off there now. THanks again.
[19:30] <escott> brightsparks, if you have already properly installed decss then its probably just region locked
[19:30] <brightsparks> escott: no. I borrowed it from my local lilbrary!
[19:30] <scottamunga> Hi everyone.  I'm having an issue with Ubuntu 12.04 that I've been unable to figure out or find much information on.
[19:31] <ubuntu_> i need help with this error kernel panic -not syncing out of memory no killable process any clue??
[19:31] <ubuntu_> i need help with this error kernel panic -not syncing out of memory no killable process. any clue??
[19:31] <zykotic10> scottamunga: details might help...
[19:31] <escott> ubuntu_, you are OOM and have no killable processes. when are you seeing this
[19:31] <brightsparks> escott: anyway I'll try what the  ubottu suggested first.
[19:31] <manzoor> @ubottu :i am totally new to linux can you explain why linux is more secured than windows?
[19:31] <scottamunga> zykotic10 I'm typing them
[19:31] <ubuntu_> escott: at bootup time
[19:32] <escott> ubuntu_, what can you tell us about your system
[19:32] <brightsparks> escott: what is the decss?
[19:33] <ubuntu_> escott: it's an acer aspire 5738 running 12.04 64 bit
[19:33] <escott> brightsparks, the routine to decrypt the css on dvd's. its what you are instructed to install in the !dvd factoid
[19:33] <kasii> manzoor,  gud question
[19:33] <scottamunga> I have a Compaq Presario CQ60-615DX with Intel GMA 4500M integrated graphics card.  I have graphical glitches when I boot  into Unity 3D.  It's only cosmetic AFAIK, but I was wondering what I could do to correct.  This is a new problem since upgrading from 11.10.
[19:33] <kasii> ubottu, tell us
[19:33] <brightsparks> escott: ok em so how do I know if I have it installed or not?
[19:33] <escott> ubuntu_, aspire 5738 doesnt mean much to me. processor type? amount of ram?
[19:34] <escott> brightsparks, did you follow the instructions in !dvd to run the install-css.sh script?
[19:34] <Seinar> Hi to all!
[19:34] <jonasPlatte> manzoor: because people who code malware don't code it much for linux, because it isn't used as much as windows. furthermore, you have lesser rights as administrator under linux. that causes more password prompts, but also better security.
[19:34] <ubuntu_> escott: intel core2duo , 3G ram
[19:34] <scottamunga> I read that the driver for my GPU is open sourced by Intel, and when I went into Add'l Drivers, it said no proprietary drivers in use on my system.
[19:34] <kasii> ubottu,  refer manzoor  question
[19:34] <kasii> ubottu, foolish post
[19:35] <brightsparks> escott: I don't what you're referrring to - I'm just reading now the ubuntu dot com page about restricted formats...
[19:35] <wifioregon> hi I upgraded to 12.04 and cant figure out how to switch to gnome. I'm not liking unity at all. Any help is great appreciated
[19:35] <ubuntu_> escott: i think there is some problem with my HDD. without HDD i can boot in live session
[19:35] <zykotic10> !notunity | wifioregon
[19:35] <scottamunga> wifioregon, have you looked into MATE?
[19:35] <escott> ubuntu_, i would guess that maybe its an acpi issue of some kind. that perhaps the acpi tables are reserving too much ram for the video card or something else. you could try booting with an acpi kernel argument. i have no idea why that would happen only on an installed system
[19:36] <wifioregon> zykotic10:  Thanks so I need to do "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-panel"
[19:36] <wifioregon> ?
[19:36] <wifioregon> scottamunga:  no whats MATE?
[19:36] <zykotic10> wifioregon: do you want gnome3 or a gnome2-like environment?
[19:36] <wifioregon> zykotic10: doesnt matter
[19:36] <manzoor> @jonasplatte: thanks
[19:36] <scottamunga> wifioregon, it's a fork of Gnome 2, since Gnome 2 is no longer officially supported
[19:36] <zykotic10> wifioregon: gnome3 = gnome-shell, while a gnome2-like is gnome-panel
[19:36] <Sidewinder> manzoor, If not already suggested, you might wish to see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812
[19:37] <virhilo> hi

[19:37] <qwd> Ubuntu 12.03 with Unity. For some reason VLC isn't showing up in the bar to the left anymore. I unlocked it from the launcher and now it only shows up in the upper right corner by the time. Any idea why and how I can get it to show up there when I open stuff?
[19:37] <qwd> I can't get it to appear when doing alt+tab either
[19:37] <virhilo> i have weird issue, when updated ubuntu from 11.04 to 12.04 when logging on ssh and using screen unicode doesn't work on the screen, what can be wrong?
[19:37] <jonasPlatte> manzoor: but the biggest security threat is the user who just enters his password everytime and everywhere some program or website asks him to do so even if he has no idea what he has to do it for
[19:37] <wifioregon> zykotic10:  I just want gnome the easiest way possible..and the best one
[19:38] <wifioregon> zykotic10:  Do I just run "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-panel" ?
[19:38] <zykotic10> wifioregon: someone else can help you...
[19:38] <escott> ubuntu_, ok didn't realize you were the same person. then YES absolutely thats your problem. there kernel is probing the hardware and is seeing lots of devices, so it just keeps creating them and fills up the ram. Now is it sda1 sda2,... up to sda99 which could indicate a bad partition table, or sda1, sdb1, sdc1 etc
[19:38] <gunny17> tried adobe-flash plugin still doesnt work!!
[19:38] <manzoor> @jonasplatte: can u tell which linux flavor is good?
[19:39] <scottamunga> I have to say I love Ubuntu 12.04.  I'm OCD about things not working as they should, and for a long time the touchpad on/off switch did nothing.  It works now.
[19:39] <ubuntu_> escott: how can i fix that ??
[19:39] <wifioregon> nobody knows how to install gnome on ubuntu 12.04?
[19:39] <escott> ubuntu_, well which is it? sd99 is not a device in linux
[19:39] <escott> wifioregon, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[19:39] <ubuntu_> sdb
[19:39] <wifioregon> escott, k thanks
[19:39] <ubuntu_> escott: sdb
[19:40] <manzoor> @sidewinder: Thanks
[19:40] <escott> ubuntu_, so you have 99 sdb entries? where are you seeing this? in the livecd?
[19:40] <Sidewinder> manzoor, My pleasure. :)
[19:40] <gunny17> I have installed adobe flas plugin and 11.04 firefox will still not play the video ?
[19:40] <ubuntu_> escott: /dev directory
[19:40] <brightsparks> ok thanks for your help guys am going to reboot and try playing the dvd again. Laters.
[19:40] <Sidewinder> wifioregon, Or: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed/
[19:41] <escott> ubuntu_, i know its in the dev directory. under what conditions do you see these entries? how are you booting to see these entries?
[19:41] <scottamunga> I'm really trying to find an answer to the graphic glitching issue online, but I haven't had any luck.
[19:42] <scottamunga> For the mean time, I know I could go into Unity 2d, but I'd like to help get this fixed for other users too.
[19:43] <ubuntu_> escott: after connecting my HDD through sata to usb converter i did a ls | grep sdb in /dev directory .after few second my system stopped responding
[19:43] <magic_al> hi everyone. i just installed chrome browser. i am used to type into the terminal "firefox" to open it. but thats doesnt work with chrome. whats wrong? (i am new in ubuntu)
[19:44] <violinappren> magic_al:  google-chrome
[19:44] <llutz> magic_al: "google-chrome"
[19:44] <escott> ubuntu_, in that case the partition table on that device is fouled up in some way that is causing it to have an unlimited number of partition tables. you would need to repartition the disk, and you would need some way to supress udev and prevent it from creating all the device nodes
[19:45] <ubuntu_> escott: how can i do this
[19:45] <magic_al> violinappren: that dosnt work as well :(
[19:45] <ubuntu_> escott: ??
[19:45] <violinappren> magic_al: try: chromium
[19:45] <escott> ubuntu_, i have absolutely no idea how to do that
[19:45] <magic_al> violinappren: no...
[19:45] <violinappren> magic_al: how did you install it?
[19:45] <kasii> how can i get MAC address of my computer
[19:45] <llutz> kasii: ifconfig
[19:45] <violinappren> kasii: ifconfig -a
[19:46] <kasii> how can i get MAC address of my computer
[19:46] <magic_al> violinappren: within the ubuntu-softwarecenter
[19:46] <ubuntu_> escott: is it possible ??
[19:46] <escott> ubuntu_, im sure its possible. just no idea how its done
[19:46] <farrukhjon> hi everyone!
[19:46] <manzoor> @sidewinder: i installed ubuntu on vmware and assigned static ip to the machine   i cannt able to access internet but i can access the internet when ip assigned by dhcp. what is the issue?
[19:46] <scottamunga> hi farrukhjon
[19:47] <violinappren> magic_al: chromium-browser
[19:47] <ubuntu_> is there any one who can help me stopping udev from creating device nodes
[19:47] <ubuntu_> ??
[19:47] <Anorexic> How do I override the "small normal large larger" in Universal Access ? "Larger" isn't big enough. I used to be able to set the font as large as I wanted.
[19:47] <kasii> violinappren, could that one be changed
[19:47] <Anorexic> My eyes are bad
[19:47] <farrukhjon> how change hint text in dash launcher ?
[19:47] <ubuntu_> escott: thanks
[19:47] <escott> ubuntu_, if it takes a few minutes you could practice nuking the partition with parted and see if you can hotplug, nuke the partition table, and sync the disk before it OOMs on you. you would lose all the data on the disk
[19:48] <magic_al> violinappren: alright, that works, thank you. but is there a way to create a terminal-shortcut that i just have to type in "chrome"?
[19:48] <Sidewinder> manzoor, I know nothing about vmware; never used it, sorry. :(
[19:48] <violinappren> kasii: are you using network manager?
[19:49] <Anorexic> Fedora has the same issue. Debian squeeze still lets me select a large enough font fom y eyes
[19:49] <manzoor> @sidewinder: no prob :)
[19:49] <ubuntu_> escott: it not giving me more than 30 sec
[19:49] <gunny17> I have installed adobe flash plugin and 11.04 firefox will still not play the video ?
[19:49] <farrukhjon> for example i need correct tips "Firefox Web Browser" to "Default Browser" ?
[19:49] <gunny17> I have installed adobe flash plugin and 11.04 firefox will still not play the video ?
[19:50] <manzoor> guys any one : i installed ubuntu on vmware and assigned static ip to the machine   i cannt able to access internet but i can access the internet when ip assigned by dhcp. what is the issue?
[19:50] <mrdeb> hello
[19:50] <meganerd> kasii: ip addr
[19:50] <mrdeb> any problems with the new ubuntu that you know
[19:50] <meganerd> kasii: from the command line
[19:50] <kasii> violinappren, yes i hev
[19:50] <richtroye> manzoor There's a special file vmware uses to assign addresses, hold on and I'll look up its name
[19:51] <kasii> violinappren,  i know the network manager
[19:51] <silare_> How do I make it so every reference to Droid Sans Mono references Ubuntu Mono instead?
[19:51] <kasii> meganerd, tell me how  from the command line
[19:51] <violinappren> kasii: click its icon, then edit connection, then edit the conenction you want, then add your desired MAC address in  "Cloned MAC Address"
[19:51] <silare_> Or alternatively, is there a way I can make Tomboy use Ubuntu Mono instead of Droid Sans?
[19:51] <meganerd> manzoor: you probably need to set the interface to bridged mode instead of NAT
[19:51] <meganerd> kasii: type "ip addr"
[19:52] <richtroye> /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf  -- check that file out, manzoor
[19:52] <gunny17> I am having problems on firefox with playing videos on you tube.  I have installed adobe flash plugin and 11.04 firefox will still not play the video ?
[19:52] <meganerd> kasii: the stuff that follows link/ether is the MAC address
 sure
[19:52] <xangua> gunny17: did you restart firefox¿

[19:55] <RedCap_work> hello
[19:55] <RedCap_work> My home folder is encrypted by ecryptfs, and I can't remember why and how I did that. Now I want to migrate from Karmic to Precise(I don't want upgrade, just install new system). How can I access to ecryptfs folder?   I have graphical glitches when I boot  into Unity 3D.  It's only cosmetic AFAIK, but I was wondering what I could do to correct.  This is a new problem since upgrading from 11.10.
[19:56] <gunny17> is it in teh package manager?
[19:56] <jvx> How to make /etc/network/interfaces remain persistent after reboot of a USB Flash install? I have a nic that needs static settings. Ubuntu 12.04 installed to USB flash drive with startup disk creator.
[19:56] <Anorexic> I get more response from poking a dead deer than this room. I wish you all pain and suffering.

[19:58] <gunny17> thanks xangua!
[19:58] <mrdeb> scottamunga: what is the problem
[19:58] <ubuntu_> how can i stop udev from creating node in /dev directory for my usb devices??
[19:59] <mrdeb> scottamunga: you can increase ram size for video card in bios, or turn off vsync in compizsettings manager
[19:59] <mrdeb> ok
[19:59] <scottamunga> mrdeb, after logging into Unity3d from LightDM, I get graphical glitches.  Cosmetic only, AFAIK, but annoying.  It has only happened since upgrading to 12.04
[19:59] <mrdeb> what glitches
[20:00] <scottamunga> Boxes flash on and off the screen rapidly.
[20:00] <RedCap_work> anyone?
[20:00] <scottamunga> No artifacts left on screen, and the session works normally with no further problems.
[20:01] <scottamunga> apt-get install ccsm?
[20:01] <jonasPlatte> RedCap_work: how do you want to access the folder?
[20:02] <audr> anyone run Minecraft on ubuntu in here?
[20:02] <jonasPlatte> audr: Yes of course
[20:02] <RedCap_work> I hope to mount it same way
[20:02] <ubuntu_> how can i stop udev from creating node in /dev directory for my usb devices??
[20:02] <audr> jonasPlatte, I can click 'join server', but then it crashes on me. Here is error log and such: http://codepad.org/na4CiBoS
[20:03] <r0b-> anyone use this card? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704059
[20:03] <jonasPlatte> RedCap_work: so, why can't you do it as before? did you already remove your old installation?
[20:03] <fg> Hi
[20:03] <audr> jonasPlatte, Not realyl sure what is wrong
[20:03] <scottamunga> mrdeb, I do have modified compiz settings with ubuntu-tweak.  Could they be causing this?
[20:03] <xangua> !anyone | r0b-
[20:04] <mrdeb> scottamunga: yes they can. mostly if you turn off vsync, it makes things faster. u can try resetting unity and see if it helps
[20:04] <ubuntu_> how can i stop udev from creating node in /dev directory for my usb devices??
[20:05] <jcrza> Hi guys. I've looked around and can't seem to find a solution. I'm on precise, trying to install windows to a separate HD so I can play Diablo 3. Said separate HD is formatted and empty, but when I try to run the windows installer it just says it can't install to that drive.
[20:05] <scottamunga> mrdeb - thank you for your help and patience. :)
[20:05] <jcrza> Anyone have any clue what I need to do?
[20:05] <audr> jonasPlatte, Any ideas?
[20:05] <RedCap_work> jonasPlatte: no, I didn't remove old installation. I haven't started to install Precise yet. But how I supposed to access to encrypted folder from new installation without a key?
[20:05] <scottamunga> I'll try what you said.
[20:05] <audr> jcrza, can't install the drive? Just plop in the Windows CD
[20:06] <jcrza> What I mean is, it sees the empty HD, but if I try to partition it it just says no.
[20:06] <jcrza> Now I wish I had written down the error, this was last night
[20:06] <jcrza> I really hate to have to install windows, but I want to play d3 something fierce.
[20:06] <mrdeb> good luck scottamunga
[20:06] <jcrza> hate*
[20:06] <mrdeb> waht is d3
[20:06] <audr> Diablo 3
[20:07] <jcrza> Couldn't get it to work with wine, even though they swear it does
[20:07] <jcrza> You need to patch it and compile it yourself or something, which I did, still didn't work.
[20:07] <mrdeb> yes
[20:07] <compdoc> jcrza, how was it formatted? what fs in on there?
[20:07] <jcrza> I formatted it NTFS first, then I just deleted all the partitions off of it the second time
[20:07] <jcrza> Both times it did the same thing, just wouldn't let me partition from the windows side of things
[20:07] <jonasPlatte> RedCap_work: Why don't you just move your data you want to keep to /home/backup or so, then delete everything but /home/backup from 12.04 live mode and install 12.04 without formatting the /home partition or if you don't have one, the root partition?
[20:08] <jcrza> Could it be because ubuntu already has a System partition or something? I don't really know anything fancy about partitions or booting, just enough to repair MBRs and crap like that
[20:08] <audr> Does anyone know why my minecraft keeps crashing? http://codepad.org/na4CiBoS  using ubuntu 11.1
[20:08] <jcrza> But it's on separate drives.. didn't think any of that would matter.
[20:08] <jonasPlatte> audr: Did you already try to use Minecraft with OpenJDK?
[20:08] <heikoheikoheiko> I want to run shell scripts with gnome-do, I added the dir with the scripts to files & folders. the default action for scripts however is open (editor). how do I change that to run? I guess I have to change default program for scripts globally. how do I do that? there is no sh (and no ruby, no python, ...) in Open With -> Other Applications.
[20:09] <audr> jonasPlatte, no, but the MC site says use Sun
[20:09] <jcrza> Yeah I had issues with openjdk on precise + minecraft
[20:09] <jcrza> sun did it
[20:10] <audr> jcrza, yah, MC loads up just fine, but when i click 'join server', boom crash
[20:10] <jcrza> Perhaps that's when it's trying to initialize a 3d environment, so maybe that's a sign
[20:10] <jcrza> Got the latest proprietary drivers and whatnot?
[20:10] <exiff_reborn> Hello, i have a partitioning problem... I was moving a partition in gparted and it got stuck just after it finished copying the partition but didnt move it, is there a way for me to recover it?
[20:10] <audr> jcrza, how can i check that?
[20:11] <exiff_reborn> Or is
[20:11] <jcrza> On the top right of the screen (if you haven't installed them yet) I think there should be a little green chip icon that you can click to install them
[20:11] <jcrza> It's also in the software center somewhere
[20:11] <exiff_reborn> *or is my data long gone?
[20:11] <jcrza> they're called restricted drivers or proprietary drivers, forget which
[20:11] <jcrza> That'll be like.. the nvidia drivers that they make themselves etc
[20:11] <smw_> jcrza, "additional drivers"
[20:12] <jcrza> There ya go
[20:12] <smw_> jcrza, it used to be called restricted
[20:12] <jcrza> good thing someone knows what they're talking about
[20:13] <jonasPlatte> audr: I always used OpenJDK and it worked
[20:13] <jcrza> Hmm.. maybe I'll have to mosy on over to the wine channel and get them to hold my hand through getting D3 working
[20:13] <jcrza> Dying to try it out
[20:13] <audr> Doing env LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -jar minecraft.jar makes it work, but now it flashes black every second or so
[20:14] <OerHeks> audr on this page you find info about java 6 + 7 > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
[20:15] <audr> jcrza, yah one of the drivers has the green light, the other doesn't. That's because ti refuses to isntall
[20:15] <audr> OerHeks, thanks.. ?
[20:15] <jcrza> Huh, odd
[20:15] <ruth> Hello
[20:16] <ruth> I'm missing my wireless interface from the Network Manger.
[20:16] <neure> hi, i've got 11.04, can i get gcc 4.6 or newer?
[20:16] <neure> with not too much trouble?
[20:16] <mbucko> what is keyring and how do i disable it?
[20:16] <audr> jcrza, any ideas?
[20:17] <dontknow1> hi all
[20:17] <dontknow1> i need help about wireless
[20:17] <ruth> If I run lspci it shows up in terminal
[20:17] <dontknow1> wireless is hard blocked
[20:17] <paul_> any cali ladies?
[20:18] <dontknow1> i did rfkill unblock all but doesn't work
[20:18] <mongo> mbucko: keyring is secure passphrase storage, you probably do not want to disable it
[20:18] <dontknow1> here is "rfkill list all" phy1: Wireless LAN
[20:18] <pfifo> I am running 10.04, and have encrypted root and home, my home is encrypted with a keyfile, I just ran `gpg -c filename` on that file to create an encrypted version for storage on a flash drive, that uses a passphrase for an encryption key. Now I intend to upgrade to 12.04, will I be able to decrypt this file from my new operating system?
[20:18] <dontknow1> 	Soft blocked: no
[20:18] <dontknow1> 	Hard blocked: yes
[20:18] <n00shie> exit
[20:19] <dontknow1> is there anyone to help me?
[20:19] <mbucko> mongo, but im not using it.. am I?
[20:20] <mongo> mbucko: do you use a browser?
[20:20] <fg> I get this error wwhen i typee 'apt-get -f install": http://paste.ubuntu.com/970016/
[20:20] <fg> Can anyone help me?
[20:20] <dontknow1> how can i unblock hardblocked wireless?
[20:21] <jonasPlatte> dontknow1: Could it be that Hard blocked means that it's disabled by a switch or button on your laptop (if you're using one)?
[20:21] <mongo> mbucko: all those "save the password" entries you use are in there etc...
[20:21] <grkblood> whats the proper way to start diagnosing screen tearing issues?
[20:21] <pfifo> fg run 'sudo apt-get install xorg-video-abi-10` and then try again after its done
[20:22] <KuifjePDX> hello
[20:22] <dontknow1> jonasPlatte: i activate wireless by pushing laptop button, but it doesn't connect
[20:22] <heikoheikoheiko> nobody knows how to change default action for shell scripts from open to run?
[20:22] <mbucko> mongo, so does it always pop up at the start?
[20:22] <dontknow1> jonasPlatte: if i reboot computer, it connects!
[20:22] <KuifjePDX> I have a question about Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server
[20:22] <mongo> mbucko: is it asking you for a password?
[20:22] <zykotic10> grkblood: what video card are you using?  tearing in games or videos (if video - online, or local files)?
[20:22] <KuifjePDX> During installation I was asked to provide a username and password
[20:23] <KuifjePDX> but that gives me a standard user
[20:23] <jonasPlatte> dontknow1: So you can scan for wireless networks now?
[20:23] <KuifjePDX> what is the password for the administrator?
[20:23] <zykotic10> !sudo | KuifjePDX
[20:24] <KuifjePDX> at boot up I see only the prompt "login"
[20:24] <mbucko> mongo, yh but i always press cancel..
[20:24] <sda> question: let's assume i have 3hd SATA of 3 different brand, how i reconize who is SDA SDB SDC from terminal?
[20:24] <OerHeks> KuifjePDX, your 'standard user' or standard first user is the administrator with root priv.
[20:24] <fg> pfifo: Thanks. error again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/970044/
[20:24] <KuifjePDX> oh, I see
[20:24] <KuifjePDX> thanks!
[20:24] <mongo> mbucko: did you just upgrade or copy your home directory to a new machine?
[20:24] <ruth> that didn't work...
[20:25] <grkblood> zykotic10, all of the above. im using a radeon 6400M
[20:25] <zykotic10> sda: "sudo blkid" and/or "sudo fdisk -l"
[20:25] <alankila> sda: cat /proc/scsi/scsi may help
[20:25] <zykotic10> grkblood: amd/ati = i can't help.  good luck.
[20:25] <shahutha> Hi..ada orang indo ga..
[20:25] <g0v3rn0r> Hi ppl
[20:25] <ruth> sudo rfkill  unblock all...didn't work.
[20:25] <dontknow1> jonasPlatte: lets say i opened laptop without activation of wireless. "rfkill list" says "hardblocked: yes". if i reboot laptop while wireless led enabled in my laptop, it connect automatically and "rfkill list" says "hardbloked.: no"
[20:26] <alankila> sda: hmm scratch that, there's no device node info there. Look through the boot messages from /var/log/dmesg then
[20:26] <mbucko> mongo, what do u mean?
[20:26] <mbucko> mongo,  i didnt upgrade og copy anything
[20:26] <shahutha> Hi..where the software manager in bt5 like in lisa..??
[20:27] <shahutha> i wanna add software

[20:27] <chunk_> hi
[20:27] <heikoheikoheiko> where is stored what applications are shown in "Open With -> Other Applications"?
[20:27] <pfifo> fg, try 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core` then :)
[20:28] <pfifo> what is the default kernel for 12.04?
[20:28] <chunk_> can someone help me with juju issue?
[20:28] <violinappren> pfifo: 3.2
[20:28] <mongo> mbucko: is this a fresh install?
[20:29] <pfifo> violinappren, is 2.6 still available as well?
[20:29] <mongo> mbucko: the keyring will ask you for a password once, it will use that password to encrypt your passwords you use in browsers etc..., this way you don't have plain text passwords sitting on the filesystem
[20:29] <mongo> mbucko: the keyring is a good thing
[20:30] <violinappren> pfifo: not in the main repository
[20:30] <mbucko> i see
[20:30] <pfifo> violinappren, ok thanks
[20:30] <chunk_> can someone help me with juju issue?
[20:30] <mbucko> mongo, so how do i set up the initial password for keyring?
[20:31] <violinappren> !details | chunk_
[20:31] <audr> chunk_, I would if I knew what juju is. It sounds like a fruit from Seinfield
[20:31] <fg> pfifo: New error! : http://paste.ubuntu.com/970058/
[20:31] <pfifo> fg, You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[20:31] <mongo> mbucko: if it is a new install that is why it is asking you for your password
[20:31] <mongo> it will verifiy it is the correct password for the account and use it as the key
[20:31] <OerHeks> heikoheikoheiko, open with is stored in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list  AFAIK
[20:32] <heikoheikoheiko> OerHeks thanks
[20:32] <shahutha> guys please..how to make user as sudo (can instal)..??

[20:34] <shahutha> violinappren, thanks
[20:34] <neure> what text editor comes in ubuntu 11.04?
[20:34] <audr> gedit i would guess
[20:34] <pfifo> fg, ahh well then, im not sure, you can try looking at bug reports on launchpad.net search and youll most likely find a solution to circular dependencies, if not, then continue asking here.
[20:34] <yuri__> And why doesn't Ubuntu EVER keep the right time? Server is always an hour ahead of it's timezone.
[20:35] <DJones> neure: nano (command line) or gedit for gnome
[20:35] <audr> Does anyone know a fix to my minecraft screen flickering black? I have to use  env LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -jar minecraft.jar to make it run
[20:35] <sda> zykotic10, alankila none of your solution works well, with fdisk -l | grep "Disk /dev/sd" i can find out by size, but with same size, and maybe same brand and only different code it's impossible!
[20:35] <fg> pfifo: Thanks alot for your help :)

[20:41] <LMJ> Hello the chan
[20:41] <yuri__> Alright. Deep breath. Feel better. I know this is not windows tech support, but hopefully somebody can help. I have Ubuntu Server 12 with a Canon printer plugged into it. Windows 7 workstation. Everything goes over and out the printer proper in Windows except for Printshop 22. Can somebody give me any idea why ONE program would not print over the network? It's hooked to the right printer over the network but doesn't print. It even says it
[20:41] <yuri__> is completed printing but nothing happens.
[20:42] <yuri__> Sorry for that book I just wrote, but desperate for help and trying to be explicit in hopes someone is familiar with any of this.
[20:42] <audr> violinappren, yes. There are two options two install. I have one installed (green light is on next to it), but the other refuses to install. All the other one is, is the same fglrx driver but with updates)

[20:44] <pranjal710> I have recently installed a fresh copy of ubuntu 10.10, GET Request is not working on it. Can anyone please help?
[20:44] <yuri__> Guest, the only two main differences between Kubuntu and Ubuntu is the K on the box and the fact that Kubuntu uses the KDE Desktop Environment. Ubuntu is straight console.

[20:51] <violinappren> audr: you need to reboot activating the first option
[20:51] <linx2342> irw will just show some output if I run lirc like in the paste
[20:51] <audr> violinappren, uninstalling the option i have now
[20:51] <violinappren> audr: after activating *
[20:51] <audr> ofc
[20:52] <audr> i dont think it will work though
[20:52] <audr> er, install*
[20:52] <mango> ok, here goes again, I have just upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04 and I seem to have run into a graphics issue. I was originally getting a black screen. However I did a apt-get update and that seems to resolved most of the graphics. I now see a 'no-entry' sign in the task bar.
[20:53] <mango> It claims I have a partial upgrade.
[20:53] <mango> here is the message I received when clicking 'install updates' on the 'no-entry' sign. http://justpaste.it/yma
[20:54] <Varsuchi> !patience
[20:54] <Fyodorovna> mango, have you checked additional drivers?
[20:54] <mongo> mango: create a new user and log in as it and see if there is still the oddness
[20:54] <mango> ok I'll double check.
[20:54] <violinappren> mango: backup and do a reinstalll
[20:54] <audr> violinappren, no it did not install. Do you want to see the log it put up?
[20:54] <violinappren> audr: ok
[20:55] <audr> want me to reactive the other one?
[20:55] <ThinkT510> mango: did you have ppas before upgrading?
[20:55] <audr> the one I had before, violinappren
[20:55] <violinappren> audr: pastebin  the log first
[20:55] <audr> kk
[20:56] <mango> mongo: I can't get into the user and groups. I get this message: "The configuration could not be loaded"
[20:56] <martii> is new ubuntu compatibile with adm A4-3300M CPU?
[20:56] <OccupyDemonoid> Could someone point me in the direction of how to share my music folder in my home drive with another user but only my music folder and not my entire home drive, please?
[20:56] <audr> violinappren, the log is large. Beware: http://codepad.org/ULdHwEVS
[20:56] <mango> violinappren - no can do, I have files on here, only as a last resort
[20:56] <mango> ThinkT510, - what is ppas?
[20:56] <mongo> mango: press ctl-alt-F2 and log in to a tty and use adduser
[20:57] <ThinkT510> !ppa |  mango
[20:58] <jonasPlatte> OccupyDemonoid: Move your music to /home or /mnt or so, and replace both users music folders with links to that new music folder
[20:58] <argief> im not a ubuntu champ, but a no-entry in the task bar surely refers to some packadge that is not loading correctly?
[20:58] <audr> violinappren, it tells me: "Sorry, the installation of this driver has failed"
[20:58] <MirkoKa> OccupyDemonoid: my suggestion is to use a shared folder lile /home/shared/music and use a common group for both osers
[20:58] <violinappren> audr: http://askubuntu.com/a/97564
[20:58] <MirkoKa> s/osers/users/
[20:58] <argief> maybe something mongo installed not compatible with 12.04?
[20:58] <mango> ubottu - what do I do with ppa?
[20:58] <OccupyDemonoid> Thank you, jonasPlatte and MirkoKa. That is much simplier than using Samba.
[20:59] <jonasPlatte> OccupyDemonoid: yes that is :D
[20:59] <audr> violinappren, kk
[20:59] <mango> ThinkT510, - what do I do with ppa?
[20:59] <nuse> does anybody know if you can run ubuntu 12.04 on an older kernel?
[21:00] <nuse> i seem to be having problems
[21:00] <ThinkT510> mango: i was asking if you installed any before upgrading, if you did they can cause big dependency issues
[21:00] <mikel> buenas noches
[21:00] <neure> how do i locate gcc 4.7 deb package that i can install in ubuntu 11.04?
[21:00] <ruth> would you like me to do something, guntbert?
[21:01] <mikel> alguien me podria echar una mano para instalar los drivers de mi grafica para poder cmabiar la configuracion de LUBUNTU?
[21:01] <OccupyDemonoid> MirkoKa, may I ask how I give both users access to that folder in /home/shared/music?
[21:02] <guntbert> ruth: sorry, no - as my wireless always "just worked" I have very little experience in troubleshooting there
[21:02] <ruth> ah.
[21:03] <MirkoKa> OccupyDemonoid: choose (maybe create) a common group for them (users, or musicfans or whatever), then set read, execute (and write?) permission on the folder (in the filemanager or with the command "chmod g+rwx /home/shared/music")
[21:04] <soupeee> 12.04 LTS is too big for my netbook. Is there or is there going to be a Lubuntu variant?
[21:04] <ThinkT510> !lubuntu | soupeee
[21:04] <audr> violinappren, Thank you. It works perfectally
[21:04] <MirkoKa> OccupyDemonoid: of course, before the chmod, set the group to the one you chooses like "chgrp -R /home/shared/music"
[21:04] <ThinkT510> soupeee: they were all released at the same time
[21:04] <soupeee> ubottu: thx
[21:04] <kostasm> \help
[21:05] <violinappren> audr: minecraft or the installation?
[21:05] <audr> minecraft
[21:05] <audr> wait >_>
[21:05] <gomidu> hallo
[21:05] <audr> yesm inecraft works, i didnt even mess with the isntallation
[21:05] <soupeee> ThinkT510: how come my Lubuntu OS didn't give me the option? Doesn't it know who it is?
[21:05] <benjamindaines> How do I make ubuntu restart my wireless, sound, and bluetooth on wake?
[21:05] <OccupyDemonoid> MirkoKa, Groups seemed to have moved from Users Accounts. That's why I asked.
[21:06] <violinappren> audr: well im glad it works, if you have further issues you may want to check with their forums also
[21:06] <ThinkT510> soupeee: if the update manager is set not to inform you then it won't, check the settings
[21:06] <audr> violinappren, heh thanks. Really, it shouldn't work. It doesn't look like what I did changed anything
[21:06] <arket> hi all
[21:06] <audr> violinappren, but...it works... lol
[21:06] <violinappren> audr: you DID change something, you're now using an updated version of the driver
[21:07] <audr> violinappren, :O !
[21:07] <gomidu> I have a problem while instaling ubuntu 12.04. The instaler crashes it uses the webcam
[21:07] <audr> fglrx-amdcccle-updates is already the newest version.
[21:07] <audr> fglrx-amdcccle-updates set to manually installed.
[21:07] <audr> fglrx-updates is already the newest version.

[21:07] <FloodBot1> audr: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:07] <audr> sorry :(
[21:07] <arket> anyone can help with audio problems?
[21:08] <audr> arket, what be the problem
[21:08] <violinappren> audr: initially you weren't using the -updates version
[21:08] <arket> audio problem with skype after upgrade to 12.04
[21:08] <audr> violinappren, ah..
[21:08] <violinappren> !sound | arket
[21:08] <Zeising> this is most likely a FAQ, but right now my google fu is letting me down. How do I select wether gdm, kdm or lightdm is used?
[21:08] <audr> arket, ah skype. FBI listening in skype calls and logging everything
[21:08] <arket> ubottu: audio working on other applications, but with skype
[21:09] <fidel_> Zeising: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[21:09] <arket> audr: exactly, i want them to tell them something
[21:09] <argief> audr,  something u dont want fbi to hear?
[21:09] <Zeising> fidel_: is there a config file, because I can't go around running dpkg-reconfigure a ton of times....
[21:09] <audr> arket, For me I had to disable PulseAudio for my microphone to work. Maybe PulseAudio is related yo your problem
[21:09] <MirkoKa> OccupyDemonoid: aha, odd. but ok, then with the commandline: 1: "sudo addgroup musicfans" 2: sudo gpasswd -a user1 musicfans" 3: "sudo gpasswd -a user2 musicfans",  then relogin
[21:10] <audr> argief, not really, but i don't like how they can and do log calls.
[21:10] <fidel_> Zeising: run the cmd - a ncurses like dialog will pop up let you define which is default
[21:10] <audr> argief, and i stopped using Skype anyway lol
[21:10] <arket> audr, it works sometimes, not allways, especially when another application is using audio, it hangs
[21:10] <Zeising> fidel_: yes, but I can't do that on every single box i manage :)
[21:10] <violinappren> arket: check the audio section of skype settings
[21:10] <qwd>  /quit
[21:10] <Zeising> fidel_: so I was hoping for a config file i can push out using puppet.
[21:10] <fidel_> Zeising: k - no idea where the setting itself is stored
[21:10] <mango> looks like adding a new user seems to have done the trick
[21:10] <audr> arket, hrm hrm hrm. Yah, fiddle with the skype audio settings
[21:10] <violinappren> arket: you may want to untick making skype adjusting your mixer settings
[21:10] <OccupyDemonoid> MirkoKa, Thank you. :)
[21:11] <arket> violinappren: i did and tried different audio options, all with same result
[21:11] <argief> audr,  if they can stop violence, let them listen.  dont think they are interested in my conversations! lol
[21:11] <mango> hold on
[21:11] <Zeising> fidel_: ok. Thanks for the help anyway :)
[21:11] <arket> violinappren, its allready unticked
[21:11] <arket> audr: all combinations with same results
[21:12] <remlabm> im having a ton of issues with ubuntu 12.04, this is not the first time ive used ubuntu. Fresh install, 64bit. had a bunch of errors, screen would freeze. so i moved to 32bit. Nvidia drivers dont seem to work properly, getting random "Ubuntu Critical Errors". Is it me, or is 12 seem unstable?
[21:12] <audr> argief, lol wow. It's that way of thinking that is letting them kill privacy though.
[21:12] <violinappren> arket: pavucontrol should give you more access to what's going on the sound system
[21:12] <jacky> remlabm: you jimmy vega?
[21:12] <remlabm> im having a ton of issues with ubuntu 12.04, this is not the first time ive used ubuntu. Fresh install, 64bit. had a bunch of errors, screen would freeze. so i moved to 32bit. Nvidia drivers dont seem to work properly, getting random "Ubuntu Critical Errors". Is it me, or is 12 seem unstable?
[21:12] <fidel_> remlabm: no need to repeat
[21:12] <remlabm> sorry for double post
[21:13] <audr> argief, if they want to kill our privacy, why not let us have full access to their meetings and everything that they do.
[21:13] <violinappren> !bug | remlabm
[21:13] <fidel_> remlabm: no issues here
[21:13] <mango> remlabm,
[21:13] <mango> Im having similiar problems
[21:13] <jacky> and if not nvidia, then noveou
[21:13] <mango> nvidia here too
[21:13] <argief> audr,  where I come from, privacy is the least of my concerns...
[21:13] <audr> argief, heh. this chan isn't for this talk anyway :P
[21:14] <remlabm> is anyone running dual monitors on Nvida on 12? if so, which drivers did you use?
[21:14] <fidel_> remlabm: yep - using 295 from nv page
[21:14] <arket> violinappren: how can i use it to investigate the cause of the problem?
[21:14] <jonasPlatte> nvidia driver works for me but if i use nouveau, i freezes after some mins
[21:14] <argief> audr, agreed. ;-)
[21:15] <violinappren> arket: check if skype it outputting the audio correct, unmuted, levels are okay and so on
[21:15] <jonasPlatte> i hope i can use nouveau without that problem in 12.10, because i really want to try out wayland and i heard that won't work with the proprietary drivers because those hardware menufactuers don't support it
[21:16] <jonasPlatte> big dislike nVidia and AMD
[21:16] <remlabm> fidel_ : which driver did you grab off their site? Linux 32bit?
[21:18] <fidel_> remlabm: 64bit
[21:18] <arket> violinappren it is not shown anywhere, could it be cause my system is 64bit?
[21:18] <violinappren> arket: are you in call with someone on skype? as in, is there audio being generated?
[21:19] <violinappren> arket: or do you mean the app is not installed?
[21:19] <mango> I give up with the latest Ubuntu.
[21:19] <mango> goint to reinstall
[21:19] <ThinkT510> mango: thats the spirit
[21:20] <audr> mango, :P
[21:20] <audr> mango, 11.1
[21:20] <violinappren> mango: : *whistles*
[21:20] <zando> lubuntu 12.04 precise :-)
[21:20] <zando> good distro
[21:20] <nathaneltitane> mango: FEDORA
[21:20] <mango> 12.04 is not precise for me
[21:20] <sary> I hae installed ubuntu 12.04 into a friend machine Toshiba Satellite M-100 and i noticed his multimedia keys does not work!
[21:20] <syslq> zando: with not so good sw :)
[21:20] <audr> I see what you did there lol, mango
[21:20] <mango> audr :P
[21:21] <mango> shame really, 11.10 was a nice upgrade
[21:21] <zando> know the feeling..., some issues with ati 5670HD but hystory now :-0
[21:21] <mango> so much to install again..grr.
[21:21] <stafford> I am looking for some solution regarding tuning down the power consumption of Ubuntu 10.04.
[21:22] <audr> mango, Pro tip: If something works fine, don't mess with it
[21:22] <stafford> I only use it for Internet browsing and reading materials.
[21:22] <mango> I'm using it for Perl development
[21:22] <violinappren> stafford: powertop
[21:22] <OerHeks> stafford, upgrade to 12.04, most power issues are fixed in kernel 3.2
[21:23] <zando> lxde rules.... I hate Unity
[21:23] <mango> terminal still works
[21:23] <stafford> OerHeks, is 12.04 out?
[21:23] <ThinkT510> zando: unity isn't as bad as i thought it would be
[21:23] <compdoc> Im installing a test system with 12.04, and installing all the services I need like vnc4server, smartd, etc. then I'll clone it to several other servers.  is there anything I need to worry about duplicating, like hard drive UUIDs? or device numbers? one guy said I should generate new ssh keys, so Im doing that
[21:23] <mango> so maybe I don't need to reinstall just yet
[21:23] <ThinkT510> stafford: yes
[21:23] <stafford> Sorry, I am not keeping up with Linux releases.
[21:23] <stafford> Excellent, I will try it right away, cheers guys.
[21:24] <mango> force me to use the command line.
[21:24] <OccupyDemonoid> MirkoKa, I just realized, you never gave the command for adding the directory and managing rights to the folder /home/shared/music.
[21:24] <rhumbot> hi all, i just connected my tv to my laptop (12.04) but no monitor is being recognized ... anything i can do? :/
[21:24] <mango> hopefully there will be a fix for nvida
[21:24] <mango> what is your graphics card?
[21:25] <rhumbot> me? nvidia ... :/
[21:26] <mango> snap
[21:26] <mango> nvidia too
[21:26] <audr> can anyone tell me how to use the grep command to find "VGA"  from lspci? I thought it was grep | vga lspci
[21:26] <mango> we seems to suffering the most
[21:26] <ThinkT510> audr: lspci | grep vga
[21:26] <llutz> audr: lspci |grep -i vga
[21:26] <audr> what is the -i for
[21:26] <MirkoKa> OccupyDemonoid: thought you will do that with nauilus^^ but ok: 1: "sudo mkdir -p /home/shared/music" 2: "sudo chgrp -R /home/shared/music" 3: "sudo chmod -rwx /home/shared/music"
[21:26] <llutz> audr: man grep
[21:26] <MirkoKa> audr: ignore case
[21:27] <audr> ignore case? Yah, i will look at man page
[21:27] <MirkoKa> OccupyDemonoid: correction: 3: "sudo chmod g+rwx /home/shared/music"
[21:27] <donvito> !grep
[21:27] <donvito> !grep
[21:28] <violinappren> audr: sudo lshw -C display
[21:28] <audr> What does that do/
[21:28] <audr> ?*
[21:28] <violinappren> audr: shows graphics card and currently used driver
[21:28] <audr> :O
[21:29] <audr> thanks again violinappren .
[21:29] <OccupyDemonoid> MirkoKa, I got this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/970170/ :(
[21:30] <llutz> OccupyDemonoid: group missing
[21:30] <uqx> Anyone here running 12.04/Precise and having a ton of nvidia freeze/lockup problems?  Xorg[1249] general protection ip:7fd7a5ed16a9 sp:7fffe5ea8df0 error:0 in nvidia_drv.so[7fd7a5e70000+6e0000   thats about the only info I can get from dmesg    Games like nexuiz/steam freeze my entire system up (using the recommend and tried the 294.0 driver (post current)) and still get these random lockups
[21:31] <uqx> weird thing is, everything works great for about 10-15 mins, then it just locks up
[21:31] <MirkoKa> OccupyDemonoid: sorry, my mind is elsewhere ^^ use "sudo chgrp -R musicfans /home/shared/music"
[21:33] <OccupyDemonoid> Ah, thank you, MirkoKa. All of those commands worked now. :)
