[08:56] <jud> after setting up the account and enabling it, a couple of seconds later, the enable box unchecks itself and it comes up with incorrect password under the buddy list?
[08:56] <sparklr> i get errors while fetching packages for mysql-server http://www.privatepaste.com/1dfd018b1d, can anyone help me out?
[08:56] <blackshirt> sunilbs1,what the problem?
[08:57] <jud> blackshirt: A hint please? after setting up the account and enabling it, a couple of seconds later, the enable box unchecks itself and it comes up with incorrect password under the buddy list?
[08:57] <Sunilbs1> Hi Blackshirt: Do you have any idea about Critical Temperature reached () shutting down
[08:58] <ubuntu> ;P
[08:58] <RadiumCat> anyone? :)
[08:58] <Guest97459> yeah
[08:58] <RadiumCat> I know my question isn't ubuntu related but i was hoping someone here would know
[08:58] <Thete> Sunilbs1: BIOS current on all these machines?
[08:58] <thunkee> RadiumCat: libreoffice writer
[08:59] <Guest97459> hey maybe u know
[08:59] <RadiumCat> thunkee, it doesn't merge multiple jpgs into a single pdf, afaik ಠ_ಠ
[08:59] <Guest97459> i have problem with installation
[08:59] <Guest97459> ubuntu
[08:59] <Sunilbs1> Didn't get you
[08:59] <jud> I don't know where to start...how do learn this stuff?
[08:59] <puff> Evening.
[09:00] <Guest97459> When i format my hdd and instalation next restart- my screen are broke  for 1:!
[09:00] <Guest97459> 1:1
[09:01] <Sunilbs1> BS: What is Current ON
[09:01] <Sunilbs1> ?
[09:01] <jud> Things are a little complicated for me here. I just installed lubuntu 12.10 on another machine. I tried to set up an account with pidgin so I could get help on installing flash and firefox but after setting up the account and enabling it, a couple of seconds later, the enable box unchecks itself and it comes up with incorrect password under the buddy list?
[09:02] <puff> I upgraded my thinkpad t520 w/nvidia/optimus from 11.10 to 12.4 using the software updates dialog.  After several hours, the dialog said something like 27 minutes left.  Then it popped up a message about not being able to configure dmsetup.  Before I could fully read it, the screen went blank/black.  No GUI, no virtual terminals.  I let it sit for a couple hours more while I went out, in case it was still finishing those last 27
[09:02] <puff> minutes.
[09:02] <puff> When I got back, still blank, so I held down power button to force shutdown and reboot.  It says there's a crash report, there's a crash report icon on the menu bar, but clicking it doesn't do anything.  Software updates doesn't show any updates needed.  How do I check to see if something went wrong and needs to be fixed?
[09:03] <federated_life> I've been having mcelog report bad memory, but I think its soft-offlining of memory…where would I look for more info ?  Ive checked /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page but get an input/out error
[09:03] <federated_life> this is on a few 128-256 bare metal db boxes lately
[09:03] <federated_life> GB
[09:03] <Sunilbs1> Blackshirt: What is Current ON?
[09:03] <rajasri> hi. We are trying to install Hadoop in Ubuntu 12.10. Can anyone help us ? Thanks in advance.
[09:03] <Repox> Hi. I'm having a minor issue installing libqrencode manually. Doing ./configure tells me that "No package 'libpng' found". Trying to install libpng12-0, libpng3 or libpng12-dev doesn't solve the problem. Do you have any advice for me?
[09:05] <rajasri>  hi. We are trying to install Hadoop in Ubuntu 12.10. Can anyone help us ? Thanks in advance.
[09:06] <mobhero> hi, how to find data usage (upload / download statistics) from all computers on ubuntu?
[09:06] <rajasri> quit
[09:06] <jud> Just tried to create an account with pidgin. Only just created it! It tells me account disabled, incorrect password...so I create another account. same thing happens whether I get it to remember the password or not. Does anyone know what's going on here?
[09:06] <puff> jud: What's wrong with convert from imagemagick?  convert -compress jpeg *.jpg output.pdf
[09:07] <puff> jud: If the jpegs are from scans, there's gscan2pdf.
[09:07] <blackshirt> mobhero, you mean network monitoring program ?
[09:07] <mobhero> yes
[09:07] <Thete> jud: Incorrect password probably
[09:07] <puff> jud: For scripting, GD lib seems to be the popular alternative to imagemagick, dunno if GD has the same jpeg/pdf capabilities.
[09:07] <mobhero>  blackshirt: yes
[09:08] <jud> puff: I think you must be addressing someone else?
[09:08] <Thete> jud: What are you logging into with pidgin?
[09:08] <puff> jud: Sorry, yeah, that was for RadiumCat.
[09:08] <jud> AIM
[09:08] <Sunilbs1> Blackshirt : Help me?
[09:08] <jud> Thete: AIM?
[09:08] <Thete> Well, it's telling you the password is incorrect
[09:08] <Thete> That's what pidgin does when it has incorrect login info
[09:08] <Thete> could be the username
[09:09] <blackshirt> !nagios | mobhero
[09:09] <isuldor> I added some up ip addr add (and down) commands to my /etc/network/interfaces. How do I restart networking without rebooting so these take immediate effect? "restart networking" doesn't work, but rebooting does
[09:09] <blackshirt> mobhero, nagios was great for network monitoring
[09:10] <jud> Thete: Ok, so I should use a different protocol?
[09:10] <nibbler__> i'm running 12.10 - when i use something in fullscreen (totem, youtube etc) its still shows the menu bars, how could i change that?
[09:10] <blackshirt> sunilbs1, i dont know what is your problem
[09:10] <mobhero> blashirt: thanks, ill check for nagios.
[09:10] <nibbler__> mobhero, blackshirt: i'd recommend zabbix way over nagios/ncinga
[09:11] <TakeItEZ> mobhero: just for network in/out statistics, vnstat is easier
[09:11] <alinmear> hi all! i am using awesome wm and want to bind a bash script to a shortcut; does anybody know how to get this work? thx very much!!
[09:12] <mobhero> takeitEz: but i want to monitor all user network statics..
[09:12] <nibbler__> i'm running 12.10 - when i use something in fullscreen (totem, youtube etc) its still shows the menu bars, how could i change that? (running in gnome-classic, as i forgot to mention)
[09:13] <jud> Thete: it can't be wrong info, I just created it and did not even re-entre it
[09:13] <Sunilbs1> I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04. While Installing or while boot the OS from the CD. I am getting error as 'Critical Temperature Reached (84 C) Shutting Down. This is the problem.
[09:13] <federated_life> alinmear:  man alias in your bash profile
[09:14] <nibbler__> Sunilbs1: who says that? ubuntu? bios? is your fan working well?
[09:14] <sparklr> i get errors while fetching packages for mysql-server http://www.privatepaste.com/1dfd018b1d, can anyone help me out???
[09:14] <alinmear> federated_life: pardon? didnt get the point mate;
[09:14] <Ben64> How can I add multiple ipv6 addresses without creating a ton of virtual interfaces?
[09:14] <Sunilbs1> Blackshirt: System is getting shutdown automatically this not happening with Win7 & Ubuntu 10.04
[09:15] <federated_life> alinmear:  just put your script in /bin if you want to execute it without the path
[09:15] <federated_life> or check the man page on alias if your going to edit your bash profile
[09:16] <Sunilbs1> Nibbler : Then why its Not Shutting in Win7 & Ubuntu 10.04
[09:17] <blackshirt> sunilbs1, check your log, gave you doing it ?
[09:17] <blackshirt> Sunilbs1, in what phase the system going to down ?
[09:17] <sparklr> i get errors while fetching packages for mysql-server http://www.privatepaste.com/1dfd018b1d, can anyone help me out???\
[09:17] <Sunilbs1> While Booting.
[09:18] <jud> Thete: in the accounts box, I click "add" then create account name and password and click save with "remember name and password" checked. Then at the bottom of the buddy list, it shows the account name and "incorrect password" what gives?
[09:18] <Sunilbs1> Not only in my Vastro-1450, Same issue in DV6-2150
[09:19] <jud> Does no-one know why, with pidgin on lubuntu 12.10, in the accounts box, I click "add" then create account name and password and click save with "remember name and password" checked. Then at the bottom of the buddy list, it shows the account name and "incorrect password"
[09:20] <alistair_l> in the latest linux kernel there is a module that looks like it enables ps2 memory card reading, but when installed this kernal wont boot of a flash drive, is there any way i can install just the module to the current kernel?
[09:20] <jud> ??
[09:20] <Sunilbs1> Thought might be Kernel issue so I have updated my kernel to 3.4 Generic pae...  Then also phasing the same proble.. I can only boot with Rescue mode
[09:20] <Sunilbs1> In both the laps.
[09:21] <mitchell_> Is there a update for Pidgin that might fix your issue?
[09:24] <jud> So you all just pretend to know stuff huh, maintaining a position of heuristic gurudom?
[09:25] <somsip> jud: provoke people into helping you. That's gonna work...
[09:25] <mitchell_> Im more of a windows user, im just mucking around with a HP netbook running ubuntu
[09:25] <mitchell_> I only know how to fix basic issues lol
[09:26] <alinmear> federated_life: hey mate, thx alot; havent thought about this way
[09:27] <Sunilbs1> Alinmear: No Solution?
[09:27] <mitchell_> Jud: have you tried to remove the Pudgin software and reinstall it?
[09:27] <jud> somsip:  it would seem that the solution is so obvious that I must be a complete nitwit?
[09:28] <somsip> jud: or no one here knows the solution. No need to be paranoid.
[09:28] <mitchell_> Jud: Make sure your date and time is correct, if it's not some server might not allow you to connect
[09:28] <notwist> jud: the "wrong account information" is probably a throwback that more generally means "server wont let you log in". Could be a million reasons. Also, drop the attitude.
[09:29] <jud> mitchell: thank you
[09:30] <mitchell_> No problem, I have no idea if it will help but it's worth a shot
[09:30] <jud> notwist: what might reason number one be?
[09:30] <Sunilbs1> Somsip / Mitchell : I am trying to install Ubuntu 11.* & 12. * I am getting the error as 'Critical Temperature Reached (84 C). Shutting Down.. Even same issue While I select "Try Ubuntu with CD'
[09:31] <Sunilbs1> You have any Idea
[09:31] <Sunilbs1> ?
[09:31] <notwist> jud: if it's AIM their servers might not accept connections from Pidgin. Maybe they have before but have recently started not accepting it. It's just a hypothetical situation but you should try logging in to an account you KNOW should work (verify it in AIMs own client) to see if logging in to any account works
[09:31] <somsip> Sunilbs1: please do not address issues to me unless I'm already helping you.
[09:31] <mitchell_> Sunilbs1: Have you dusted out your heatsink?
[09:31] <jud> notwist: how might you proceed to figure it out?
[09:32] <notwist> jud: you need to figure out if it's the account, the software or the connection thats failing. That means that you should replace the account, the software and the connection.
[09:32] <Sunilbs1> Mitchell : No-
[09:33] <mitchell_> Sunilbs1: Dust it out first, Also check your BIOS to make sure that the temperature is normal
[09:34] <mitchell_> Sunilbs1: If that does not work. Reset your BIOS to default settings and see if their is an BIOS update for your Motherboard
[09:34] <Sunilbs1> Mitchell: But there is no issue with Win 7 & Ubuntu 10.04. And the temperature shows 71 C
[09:35] <Sunilbs1> I had A02 Ver. of Bois Updated to A08. Same issue in both.
[09:35] <jud> notwist: ok, thanks, well maybe i should should check the connection settings before redoing stuff. The browser works fine. How would I check the connection settings in pidgin itself do you think?
[09:36] <mitchell_> Sunilbs1: 71c is too hot, is that in Fahrenheit or Celsius?
[09:36] <Sunilbs1> Celsius?
[09:36] <Sunilbs1> Its i3 Prcessor
[09:36] <mitchell_> By any chance are you using an AMD CPU?
[09:37] <mitchell_> 71c is far to warm for one of those
[09:37] <pertapa_rikudo> hahaha'
[09:37] <mitchell_> Should be about 35-40c, My i7 cpu runs about 37c
[09:38] <Sunilbs1> I have contacted dell cus. care. They told that its in normal condition.
[09:38] <notwist> jud: i just meant you could try another connection, if you have access to another connection or if you can ask a friend to try the same account
[09:38] <Sunilbs1> Core 0 : 42 C , Core 1 : 40 C
[09:39] <pertapa_rikudo> hacker
[09:40] <jud> notwist: you mean from a different machine?
[09:40] <mitchell_> Sunilbs1: Seems very unusual, I do know it should not be running at that temp. I would dust out the Heat Sink and CPU fan. Also replace the thermal paste on the CPU as their might be too much or too little applied. Here is a link on how to apply thermal paste: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/How-To-Correctly-Apply-Thermal-Paste/274
[09:41] <Sunilbs1> Thank you Mitchell. I do that.
[09:41] <mitchell_> Sunilbs1: Sorry i was a little slow to write back. Those temps seem fine. I would try those steps first.
[09:43] <jud> notwist; i just tried from this machine and the same thing happens so I guess that rules out connection?
[09:43] <jud> notwist: i just tried from this machine and the same thing happens so I guess that rules out connection?
[09:45] <jud> notwist: or installation?
[09:45] <mitchell_> Jud: Is this a MSN account or google talk? Does it allow you in, if you use their on line messaging system?
[09:45] <Sunilbs1> Mitchel : There is one more laptop DV6 2150. It has been installed Ubuntu 12.04. After booting in logging time it gets off.  In Vostro 10.04 is working fine not facing any problem. Why only with 11.* & 12.*
[09:46] <mitchell_> Sunilbs1: I don't understand what you mean by "logging time it gets off"
[09:48] <Sunilbs1> Sorry after getting the  'Log in' Screen.
[09:49] <jud> mitchell_: I'm currently talking to you via pidgin on an adjacent machine with karmic. the account has a different protocol, i've noticed. But i was wondering, what if the account i tried set up on the newer OS was already taken. would it always say that it was unavailable? I've tried a couple?
[09:49] <mitchell_> Sunilbs1: From what I understand your question is your HP laptop logs you off after you try to log in?
[09:50] <Sunilbs1> Yes
[09:51] <mitchell_> Jud: Do you have any proxy settings enabled in the settings? Also did you check your date, time and time zone?
[09:51] <Sunilbs1> Ok I will try to Cleanup fan & Apply the heat sink. I will let you know If i face the problem again. Bye
[09:53] <TakeItEZ> jud: either it is your account or it is already taken by someone else. you have to know what protocol (xmpp, icq, msn) and what username/password yours are
[09:54] <TakeItEZ> jud: pidgin is a multiprotocol messenger, so make sure to pick the correct settings when configuring the accounts
[09:54] <jud> mitchell_: I'll just try to figure that stuff out
[09:54] <peterrus> if I wanted to test the old 3.5.0-10 kernel
[09:55] <peterrus> where could I find it?
[09:55] <jud> TakeItEZ: how do I know what the correct settings are?
[09:55] <TakeItEZ> jud: you simply have to know it
[09:56] <jud> TakeItEZ: ? ..how would you figure it out?
[09:57] <TakeItEZ> jud: you're kidding? if you already have an account in a network like jabber, you _have to know_ your credentials
[09:57] <Fluor> Hi.
[09:57] <Fluor> Is there some way to boot the net-installer images in a 80x24 TEXT videomode?
[09:57] <jud> TakeItEZ: I don't have an account, I'm trying to set one up
[09:57] <mitchell_> Fluor: hey
[09:57] <Fluor> The kernel doesnt seem to accept 'nomodeset' and 'vga=normal'
[09:58] <TakeItEZ> jud: what network/protocol?
[10:00] <TakeItEZ> jud: not all protocols allow clients to create new accounts, like jabber/xmpp does. make sure to activate "register new account" in the settings-menu
[10:00] <mitchell_> Jud: I'm going to bed, As a last peace of advise, Try to remove Pudgin and reinstall it via the Ubuntu software center. TakeItEz seems to have the correct advise. Hope you get it sorted:)
[10:01] <Guest58602> How can I switch between hosts and Citrix on Ubuntu? Shift f2 doesn't work.
[10:01] <TakeItEZ> mitchell_: why should one reinstall a package just to create an account?
[10:01] <jud> TakeItEZ: I'm using a different account currently on a different machine. I don't know how it was set up. I'd like to set up a different account on a different machine with 12.10 freshly installed
[10:01] <jud> mitchell_:thanks, have a good sleep!
[10:03] <TakeItEZ> jud: an account for which network/protocol?
[10:03] <mitchell_> Takeitez, I must be tired, I thought he was trying to use the same account that is working on another computer on the computer he is trying to set it up on. If it was not allowing him to connect I just rambled some basics off
[10:03] <mitchell_> Jud: good luck :)
[10:04] <Sunilbs1> Mitchell: ?
[10:04] <jud> TakeItEZ: OK on the screen, I have buddy list and accounts
[10:04] <jud> mitchell_:tks!
[10:05] <TakeItEZ> jud: and if you "add an account" you'll be ask for the protocol this new account should use. so which do you want to use?
[10:05] <jud> TakeItEZ: I click "+ Add" tab on the accounts window
[10:05] <TakeItEZ> be asked*
[10:05] <Fluor> I need to boot the Ubuntu netinst installer in textmode, my remote video thingy does not like framebuffers:  https://8n1.org/8624/26f8  - does anyone know if this is possible?
[10:06] <jud> TakeItEZ: ok this time i've selected IRC because it works on this system
[10:09] <jud> TakeItEZ: ok, so it was the protocol dude. AIM was the default protocol and it didn't work..why not?
[10:10] <TakeItEZ> jud: because it doesn't allow creating new accounts via this client
[10:11] <jud> TakeItEZ: is trial and error the only way to figure out which clients are allowed?
[10:11] <Fluor> ...
[10:12] <blackshirt> Close your pidgin,remove .pidgin or .purple dir on your home dir and start pidgin again to reconfig from scratch
[10:13] <TakeItEZ> jud: you should know which protocol you want to use _before_ you configure an account. and if thas protocol doesn't allow account-creation this way, you have to register via a webservice or smthng like that before
[10:14] <jud> blackshirt: 12.10 installs it as part of the package..so you're saying I can choose clients in the configuration?
[10:14] <TakeItEZ> jud: its not very common to register to a network, "just because the client allows" to do so
[10:15] <TakeItEZ> jud: so if your buddies use xmpp, you create a xmpp-account. they use icq, you create an icq-account etc.pp
[10:18] <peterrus> if I wanted to test the old 3.5.0-10 kernel, where could I find it
[10:18] <jud> TakeItEZ: ledg!  great, thanks. so, can flash be installed with chromium do you know?
[10:18] <TakeItEZ> no idea jud
[10:20] <wdp> Hey, I'm wondering, in ubuntu my network devices get weird names. Instead of "eth0 eth1 and eth2" i have "em0" "eth1" and "p260p1" (only the last one is connected right now)
[10:20] <wdp> Can i somehow configure it to have eth0, eth1, and eth2?
[10:21] <jud> TakeItEZ: well, rather than bother you with that, I'll install firefox and install flash to that and figure out chromium later. I currently have the firefox tar.bz2 extracted to the desktop. I don't know what the installation instruction file is. any idea?
[10:22] <TakeItEZ> jud: sudo apt-get install firefox
[10:24] <jud> TakeItEZ: It's doin it's thing, cool...can I do the same for flash once that's done?
[10:25] <TakeItEZ> !flashplayer | jud
[10:26] <jud> Cool!
[10:26] <jud> How does ubottu know what to say?
[10:26] <TakeItEZ> !bot | jud those !commands trigger it
[10:27] <jud> Haha!
[10:28] <droidmaxxx> hello... HELP UBUNTU Gnome3...... hell lot of problem..

[10:34] <niktto> Hi All, what is the deal with gir1.2-keybinder not available for 12.04? Is there any chance that it will get backported?
[10:35] <TakeItEZ> jud: create a problem (i want to use linux to do .... thisthat ...), try to solve it yourself and try to understand what all those tutorial/howtos really do. so you will learn more and more things
[10:36] <jud> TakeItEZ: And that's it? Well, thanks again!
[10:37] <TakeItEZ> jud: that was _my_ approach in the mid 90's

[10:38] <jud> TakeItEZ: cool man, i'll take it on. cheers! Do you work with computers now?
[10:39] <TakeItEZ> jud not for money, but this is offtopic here, let's drop

[11:00] <unborn> droidmaxxx, try debian :)
[11:01] <TakeItEZ> droidmaxxx: use lxde/lubuntu-desktop, runs fine here on my netbook atom n280
[11:04] <InstantKrimson> droidmaxxx: xubuntu runs nice on a 6 year old lappy I use. If you want something very tiny, try DamnSmallLinux or PuppyLinux. Much more of a hassle getting software for those than any *buntu distribution though....
[11:05] <droidmaxxx> InstantKrimson: oh.. I tried DSL and slitaz.. very low... but not much apps... it has..
[11:06] <droidmaxxx> I want something user friendly and should support more apps... I'm kinda still learning linux..
[11:06] <InstantKrimson> then go with xubuntu or lubuntu is my advice
[11:06] <InstantKrimson> I think lubuntu is the "lightest" of them in terms of reasource usage

[11:21] <dr_willis> dan_:  You can set up 2 monitors on most laptops these days.  One is the lcd other is the video out.
[11:24] <Josssse> Hello guys. So i want to be able to synchronize my snippets and word dictionaries for gedit of both of my workstations with ubuntu one. Is it possible? Easy?
[11:24] <Josssse> How can I do it?
[11:24] <Josssse> Thanks.
[11:25] <dr_willis> Josssse:  i think you can set ubuntu one to sync folders outside of the Ubujntu One Directory now.  or you could link whever the snipits are stored  to a folder in  your Uubntu One directory.
[11:25] <k1l_> Josssse: take alook at unison. basically it is a 2-way rsync. so snycing the gedit folders could do it
[11:25] <ee12054> #sup
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> ee12075  are you a bot?
[11:25] <ee12054> mm
[11:25] <k1l_> ee12054: you were asked to stop.
[11:26] <ee12054> 123
[11:27] <k1l_> !ot > ee12054
[11:27] <Josssse> dr_willis, Yes, I can sync other directories with on. What I would like to do is to put all the config files that hare syncd in one directory and share it.
[11:27] <Josssse> So how do i tell gedit to read the config files from this new directory i've created?
[11:27] <dr_willis> Josssse:  you could do some fancy linking i guess.
[11:27] <dan_> dr_willis i use this laptop to play videos on the projector in a theater , i have seen other play videos on the projector out using a software called Virtual DJ on windows, with that they just hit play and video appears on the projector and not on the laptop screen,  i am looking for a similar functionality :D
[11:28] <Josssse> dr_willis, Ahh, good idea. I'm very bad with linking though. I don't even understand too well.
[11:28] <dr_willis> dan_:  you can just use the extended desktop feature and drag the video player over to the 2nd monitor.
[11:28] <Josssse> So first thing I must do is find the dictionary file and the snippets file. Any ideas where they might be?
[11:29] <dr_willis> Nope. I dont use gedit.. i would guess in .config
[11:29] <ee12054> #sup
[11:29] <ee12054> [#sup]
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> !ops
[11:32] <dan_> dr_willis - that is what i do now ,but its really messy and embarrassing when dragging appears in the big screen  :(
[11:32] <dr_willis> dan_:  ive never seen it done any other way. not even on windows. so thats about all i can say on the topic.
[11:32] <dr_willis> Unless you were to use seperate X sessions for the 2 monitors. and i dont do that way
[11:33] <dr_willis> I have xbmc set to appear on the 2nd monitor full screen by default
[11:38] <TonyMiii> hello folks..  I have got a problem with ndiswrapper on ubuntu 12.10 .. The version 1.57.1 available on the repository will show no module founds
[11:38] <TonyMiii> *found
[11:39] <TonyMiii> I have also tried compiling the latest experimental version available on source force
[11:40] <TonyMiii> the module compiles just fine but whenever I execute sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[11:40] <TonyMiii> the shell hangs in waiting ...
[11:40] <TonyMiii> anyone ?
[11:41] <dr_willis> other then suggesting to check dmesg output for errors.. I have no idea. ;)
[11:41] <juboba> hey
[11:41] <dr_willis> I dont use ndiswrapper ;)
[11:41] <TonyMiii> thanks dr_willis
[11:41] <jolo1234>  hey i have xp - Kubuntu dual boot, but how do i get into my pc bios now?
[11:41] <TonyMiii> will give it a shot
[11:41] <juboba> How can I configure my desktop computer so that I can `X :2 -query MyIP` from my other computer?
[11:41] <dr_willis> jolo1234:  same as you always have.. hit some key at bootup normally. the OS shouldent matter
[11:42] <dr_willis> F1, Del, BS, escape.  depends on the maker.
[11:42] <jolo1234> dr_willis: i don't get the prompt anymore
[11:42] <jolo1234> mines f2 - f12
[11:42] <dr_willis> what prompt?
[11:42] <jolo1234> bios prompt to hit f12
[11:43] <TonyMiii> I usually don't either but this pc here has got a built in wireless module which isnt compatible with the linux kernel
[11:43] <dr_willis> the bios stuff is befor the OS even loads.  if you are refering to the 'POST' info screens.
[11:43] <InstantKrimson> many modern BIOS'es hide it, you need to hit F12 anyways
[11:43] <TonyMiii> and requires ndiswrapper unfortunately
[11:43] <dr_willis> power up. tap F12 like a woodpecker...
[11:43] <Argure> HAI. anyone good with shorewall configs and feeling like looking over config files real quick that are made by a complete tool (i.e., me)? :P
[11:44] <jolo1234> dr_willis: cold boot right?
[11:44] <dr_willis> jolo1234:  shoulent matter
[11:45] <jolo1234> interesting.... i try again on the weekend, thanks

[11:47] <notwist> TonyMiii: you can always buy a stand-alone wireless adapter via USB that supports linux
[11:48] <dr_willis> found a nice USB wifi thang on amazon for $18 that gets amazing range and works with 12.10 with no tweaking. ;)
[11:48] <dr_willis> actually i found several. ;)
[11:49] <notwist> dr_willis: did it specify that it worked in linux or did you have to google? also theres a lot cheaper adapters than 18 bucks :)
[11:50] <dr_willis> notwist:  i found one for $8  a 'dongle' but this other one for $18 was a usb cable/little box with 2 antennas and it picks up  a lot better signal strenth. ;)
[11:50] <notwist> http://is.gd/cV4xM3 $11.20 incl. shipping
[11:50] <dr_willis> I just searched the comments/review to see what others have had luck with in linux
[11:51] <notwist> ok, cool
[11:51] <dr_willis> I found a neat 'wifi thing' that you plug into your ethernet port also. :) so the pc things you are wired. but it was like $40 - made for network enabled tvs and consoles.
[11:51] <dr_willis> it works decently well also.
[11:52] <notwist> dr_willis: cool, that sounds like a kind of simplified router/bridge almost, pretty smart
[11:53] <dr_willis> notwist:  yea thats basically what it was.  Ive not really testee how good it pcks up. My 'standard test' plyug it in - see how many of the neighbors wifi's i can detect. ;)
[12:00] <samba35> how do i get X windows on windows with xming ,what i have to change in putty
[12:01] <dr_willis> samba35:  I normally just run the xming 'wizard' and let it use the xmings built in putty client.  ;) You could use the xming wizard and have it run gnome-terminal for example
[12:02] <dr_willis> if you wanted a terminal
[12:02] <samba35> ok
[12:04] <samba35> i have wizard can you pleae tell me how do i follow it
[12:04] <JPSman> Hey there.  So I am using 12.04 and I uninstalled Unity.  How can I host a VNC remote desktop?  I can't find the old "Remote Desktop" option at all in the menus.
[12:05] <dr_willis> samba35:  i dont recall it being that hard .. enter the ip of the server. tell it to run gnome-terminal.  ... hit nexct a lot ;)
[12:05] <samba35> ok
[12:06] <dr_willis> JPSman:  you can install 'vnc4server' or 'tightvnc' and have seperate 'hidden' vnc desktops you connec tto. that are not shared on the 'local' display. or use a vnc server like x11vnc to share the current display
[12:06] <juboba> how can I configure my desktop computer to accept remote X sessions? I can log to localhost, but I can't log from remote computers in my network...
[12:07] <juboba> I'm using lightdm
[12:07] <dr_willis> juboba:  You mean connect to a remote pc from a local one at the lightdm login screen?
[12:07] <dr_willis> like was done ages ago via xdmcp and the X query feature?
[12:08] <unimaxlin> how can i insert a cron from a script..
[12:08] <unimaxlin> crontab -e echo "cron entry" wq!
[12:08] <unimaxlin> cron entr*
[12:09] <dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/66431/how-do-i-configure-lightdm-to-work-with-xdmcp
[12:09] <juboba> dr_willis, yes
[12:10] <juboba> dr_willis, I want to configure my desktop computer so that I can log from another computer
[12:10] <juboba> I tried that dr_willis but I can log from localhost only
[12:11] <dr_willis> you did enable the xdmcp thing on the machine you are trying to log into?
[12:11] <dr_willis> not the local machine.
[12:11] <juboba> dr_willis, in lightdm?
[12:11] <juboba> yes
[12:12] <dr_willis> thats what the guides say..  ive not messed withj xdmcp in ages
[12:13] <dr_willis> i dont even recall seeing where you tell lightdm to scan/query for what machines exist on the lan
[12:16] <dr_willis> night all..
[12:21] <blackshirt> good night dr_willis ...
[12:22] <DarkSim> Is there any good way to undo a upgrade?
[12:23] <blackshirt> darksim, i have no idea
[12:25] <JPSman> Thank dr_willis this is working for me now :OD
[12:26] <rifter> I'm having weird freezes of the window manager since yesterday's upgrade - packages: http://pastebin.com/VqT11jDE all of a sudden I can't move windows around anymore or switch focus
[12:26] <DarkSim> So I have to reinstall the OS again, pff. I will lose all my data again :/
[12:26] <rifter> and I can't figure out how to restart the window manager in 12.04 or x for that matter
[12:27] <rifter> I created a new user and that user has the same problem. actually what was happening just awhile ago was it froze on me, I rebooted, and no matter who I logged in as the problem started happening right away.. like once I started anything
[12:28] <rifter> I don't know why it is working right now, but apparently I was able to get to xchat
[12:29] <rifter> I'm not sure how to revert to the old versions either since as I recall I would have to uninstall the packages and reinstall from the cache, and uninstalling unity, etc would uninstall everything else
[12:32] <rifter> when I tried going  to fvwm2, anything I tried to start gave me the spinning cursor forever. That is probably unrelated because I haven't used fvwm2 on this box yet
[12:32] <rifter> or rather on this install
[12:35] <rifter> I'm in classic gnome now, which was freezing too earlier.. as in as soon as I logged in and started something, but is not acting up just now
[12:37] <DarkSim> Is there any way to check wether or not which programs I can save before I reinstall Ubuntu_
[12:38] <rifter> DarkSim, you mean what prograks are installed or what?
[12:38] <DarkSim> Because when I installed last time I made sure I had a partition where I would put all programs and files
[12:39] <DarkSim> but it doesnt seem like Ubuntu put anything there to begin with, so I guess I have to overwrite everything now
[12:39] <rifter> DarkSim, if reinstalling you leave your home directory your user-specific settings are kept
[12:39] <DarkSim> if these are made during 12.10 and I install 12.04 would those still work?
[12:40] <rifter> DarkSim, well if there is nothing on the partition there is nothing gto save. but do you mean the partition is not even formatted? is this a new install?
[12:41] <DarkSim> I meant that I partitioned a disk into two sections were one is where I install ubuntu, the other one is a junkfile/app drive, but I cant choose were to install things in ubuntu so that disk is pretty useless
[12:41] <TedU> hi
[12:41] <rifter> DarkSim, if the partitions are made they can be used asgain, but you would not want to leave progrqams there
[12:42] <TedU> This is the first time I've ever considered using Linux.  Would you give me one piece of advice?
[12:43] <datruth> whats the difference between the noveau driver vs the nvidia driver 3.04?
[12:43] <DarkSim> TedU: Stock up some patience, it will be needed
[12:44] <Varange> hi there
[12:44] <TedU> I believe I should buy a cheap used computer, so that I can take my time getting it going
[12:44] <DarkSim> probably a good idea
[12:44] <rifter> datruth, the closed source driver gives you 3d
[12:44] <rifter> TedU, not a bad idea
[12:45] <TedU> Does it matter if it's a Dell, HP, Gateway or maybe even Generic?
[12:45] <datruth> rifter: so the closed source driver nvidia 3.04 gives me 3d and noveau does not?
[12:45] <rifter> datruth, it also has some other proprietary features I can't think of right now
[12:45] <sergii> Hi all, please if someone can help me with EXPECT in ubuntu 12.++ pls open private, It was really annoying, I really need help!!!
[12:45] <rifter> datruth, noveau used not to give you 3d.. I think it still doesn't
[12:46] <datruth> rifter: proprietary features in the nvidia driver 3.04 or noveau?
[12:46] <belgianguy> I just enrolled in a beta of some sort, and am experiencing crashes, where do I find the version of the graphics driver (AMD/ATI Catalyst)
[12:46] <datruth> rifter: gotcha
[12:46] <mmonat> cal
[12:46] <rifter> datruth, the closed source one gives proprietary features, yeah
[12:46] <datruth> Does ubuntu boot without an xorg.conf?
[12:46] <sergii> People, someone knows how i can do script for example sudo apt-get ... and do it automatic? sending password
[12:46] <rifter> TedU, no it should not matter, especially with a desktop
[12:47] <datruth> rifter: anyway I can fix my screen brightness keys without using an xorg.conf whenever I do I'm unable to use chrome
[12:47] <rifter> TedU, laptops can be tricky, but brand doesn't matter there, either.. it's a matter of what is supported on it
[12:47] <DarkSim> Time to reinstall whole OS again :(
[12:47] <sergii> really anyone cant help me?
[12:47] <fishcooker> hii everyone
[12:47] <fishcooker> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1416741/
[12:48] <rifter> datruth, it defaults to not having an xorg.conf I believe
[12:48] <sergii> why 1700 people there if nobodys want help?
[12:48] <lcabreza2>  sergii: whats your issue ? how can we help you ?
[12:49] <rifter> datruth, I'm not sure about getting your screen brightness keys on your keyboard working.... never been down that road
[12:49] <sergii> i pm u
[12:49] <TedU> OK !  Thanks for the advice !  I guess I can find a cheapy somewhere.  Hell, I pulled this unit out of a dumpster a few years ago !  Happy Holidays !
[12:49] <TedU> Bye

[12:50] <rifter> sergil what are you starting?
[12:50] <sergii> I want to do it automatic, sending password
[12:51] <rifter> sergil you need expect to send passwiords
[12:51] <sergii> ye i know
[12:51] <sergii> but i cant do it
[12:51] <sergii> dont works

[12:51] <fishcooker> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1416749/
[12:51] <rifter> sergil you can change /etc/sudoers to not require one, or use ssh with keys
[12:52] <sergii> i should do it with expect
[12:52] <sergii> but i cant write command with expect
[12:52] <rifter> sergii, expect can be tricky.. it's been years since I used it.. I used perl with the expect module when I did
[12:52] <nsahoo> can I install a package for ubuntu precise on ubuntu quantal?
[12:53] <rifter> sergii, there's some info on expect online, and an oreilly book.. I think it is called exploring expect
[12:53] <sergii> oks
[12:53] <sergii> mi console returns this:
[12:53] <sergii> invalid command name "sudo"     while executing "sudo mkdir abrirrrrr"     (file "./aja.sh" line 3)
[12:54] <rifter> sergii, expect responds to promots with commands,m that's how it works. there is a way to get it to let you type after, but I forget what I did for that
[12:54] <fishcooker> should i install new kernel
[12:54] <fishcooker> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1416749/
[12:54] <rifter> sergii, that's weird.. maybe sudo is not in the path at that point? it works from the command line right?
[12:55] <sergii> sec
[12:55] <raven> is there a channel for SYSRESCCD?
[12:55] <rifter> nsahoo, poaaibly. depends on the package, and mixing versions can have funny results

[13:07] <belgianguy> hmm trying to reinstall the ati drivers
[13:07] <Will9455> I am running a dual boot Ubuntu/windows 7 pro system.  About once a day for no reason when i am on the Ubuntu side my system restarts with no waring just shuts off
[13:08] <Will9455> Is there a log i can find or use to stop this
[13:08] <belgianguy> but after removing them with a apt-get purge script I found, the installer still detects it
[13:08] <belgianguy> I could force an install, but if even the installer does not recommend it
[13:08] <belgianguy> I don't dare to restart either
[13:09] <BluesKaj> Will9455,  /var/log , probly system.log or similar
[13:09] <Will9455> I did that, I have reformated the system serveral times because sometimes it wont boot into anything
[13:12] <Will9455> It is a fresh install.  I do a majority of my work through RDP and teamviewer.  I am just wondering the cause, hence looking for the log file
[13:12] <Will9455> Hanks Blue
[13:12] <Will9455> Thanks
[13:16] <Will9455> No system.log or anything similiar.  humm

[15:05] <nilla> I have a billion problems with my new Ubuntu install. I'm coming from Linux Mint, Debian Edition, and I changed because I wanted Steam to work.  I don't know how much of this is just technical issues or how much of it is seriously flawed design mentalities, but I'll start from the beginning if anyone is willing to help.
[15:05] <read> Argure: what k1l did by removing nvidia* helped bc now I can boot into the regular ubuntu. But now I still have the problem where my os freezes when I boot after the login screen
[15:05] <zolgar> How do I run as root?
[15:05] <nilla> First off, I didn't know what the music player was, and since there was no music in the music tab, it took me a while to find the music player
[15:05] <erictr1ck> what does SWT stand for in the systray-whitelist?
[15:06] <nilla> I thought it would use Banshee, it uses something that is not Banshee, and I found it by messing with the audio button.
[15:06] <nilla> It immediately started scanning my library and instantly started giving me a bunch of errors
[15:06] <b14d3> zolgar: You can do line by line by typing sudo if you have permissions, or you can set the mode by typing sudo su
[15:06] <nilla> I don't have a copy of them but it was something along the lines of "Sorry, Ubuntu is having trouble!" or something like that
[15:07] <nilla> I couldn't close the program, so I went into another console and killed it manually
[15:07] <nilla> that somehow restarted the computer
[15:07] <nilla> I also couldn't get root unless I logged in and used sudo su
[15:07] <nilla> that's just annoying
[15:07] <xwalk> Really starting to consider a fresh install and just using my backups. I hate storage.
[15:08] <nilla> I don't know what half the programs are on this thing, and I can't find even an IRC client
[15:08] <nilla> I installed one but it said that I had unmet dependencies, so I forced the install (I dont know why irssi would require dependencies but there you are)
[15:08] <nilla> everything is slow
[15:08] <nilla> everyting is a hassle to use
[15:08] <zolgar> b14d3:  im confused as to what that means. I open up a terminal, sh <file here> and it telles me I must run it as root to install (its an nvidia driver)
[15:08] <nilla> nothing makes any sense in this os
[15:08] <FloodBot1> nilla: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:08] <nilla> I will NEVER reccomend Ubuntu to new people
[15:09] <b14d3> zolgar: That's fine, instead of sh <file> type sudo sh <file>. Assuming that your account has the permissions, it will ask for your password (if you have one). Type that in and you should be good.
[15:09] <nilla> If I recommended Ubuntu to new linux users they would go straight back to Windows because it's all "pretty" and no functionality whatsoever. It's as though this entire distro had its decisions made by designers, aka the stupidest people in the world to trust with a functioning OS.
[15:09] <b14d3> nilla: I'm sorry you're having problems, but everyone was new at one point. I'm not even fantastic.
[15:10] <jrib> nilla: keep in mind this channel is for support.  What is your support question?
[15:10] <zolgar> b14d3: That worked pretty much. Its just telling me I need to close an 'X server' now. Whats that?
[15:10] <nilla> I am not new. I have been using linux for years and this is by far the worst iteration of Ubuntu I've used. I remember 3 or 4 years ago Ubuntu was really great. I don't even know how to do ANYTHING on this thing, how can I expect NEW people to use it?
[15:10] <nilla> Anyway, that's my gripe. I hate everything about it. Bye.
[15:11] <b14d3> zolgar: Unfortunately, I'm not sure. You may have to ask someone else. My knowledge is very limited, but I thought I could at least help you run that command as root.

[15:21] <Zogot> Hello All. I'm looking to getting the Acer Aspire One D270 that uses the Intel Atom N2600 (which has the onboard Intel GMA 3600).  Browsing around the net, I find a lot of threads about poor support for the PowerVR GMA 3600, although a few lines about it being fixed in ubuntu 12.10.  Has it been fixed, or is it still a processor/gfx component I should avoid if I wish to have higher than 800x600

[15:44] <bibi23> Hi, when using the "top" command, is there a way to search for a process by its name, I can't find anything when typing "h" for help. thx
[15:44] <jrib> bibi23: htop might me easier to use but let me check top
[15:45] <jrib> bibi23: you can use L in top
[15:45] <Abhijit> bibi23, if you want to look for firefox proces you can also use top | grep fire
[15:46] <Abhijit> jrib, i wont find any option acalled -L or -l in man top?
[15:46] <jrib> Abhijit: just pressing L in top's interactive interface will let one search
[15:47] <Abhijit> ok
[15:47] <bibi23> Abhijit: that's what I've tried first, but it didn't work, I don't think it's possible as top doesn't output anything to standard output, but it's kind of a program I guess
[15:47] <jrib> Abhijit: you can go to manpage section about "SEARCHING"
[15:47] <Abhijit> bibi23, i just tested it. it works here
[15:47] <Abhijit> jrib, ok. thanks
[15:47] <jrib> bibi23: maybe we should ask, what do you actually want to accomplish?
[15:48] <bibi23> Abhijit: ah yes you're right it works, I just had to wait at it's not immediate
[15:49] <Abhijit> right.
[15:49] <jrib> bibi23: might want to use "top -b | grep firefox" for batch mode
[15:49] <bibi23> jrib: I just wanted to find a process by its name in order to kill it
[15:49] <jrib> bibi23: any reason you don't kill it by name with pkill?
[15:50] <bibi23> jrib: well I don't exactly know the full name but just a part of it
[15:50] <jrib> bibi23: that's fine
[15:50] <jrib> bibi23: pkill accepts a pattern
[15:51] <bibi23> jrib: ah great I didn't know, I'm going to check the doc thx
[15:51] <jrib> bibi23: otherwise I would just use "ps -ef" instead of top and grep that output.  Or if you want something interactive, you can use htop (it lets you select a row and kill it straight from htop)
[15:52] <jiffe98> what's the difference between a normal boot sequence and booting after ubuntu froze during boot?  the font seems to be a different size and I'm thinking that is contributing to why the second boot always works
[15:53] <bibi23> jrib: I've just installed htop, I can filter and kill from here, that's perfect for a beginner like me, thx
[15:54] <jrib> bibi23: ok if you want more options... you might try "gnome-system-monitor" if you have a gui.  And finally, if you're trying to click a graphical application, you can run "xkill" and then just click on the application
[15:56] <bibi23> jrib: yes it was a graphical application, but usually when it doesn't respond and I try to close it, there is a window telling me do you want to quit it (IIRC it's called brute quit or force quit), here it didn't happen so I had to kill it through htop
[15:56] <jrib> bibi23: k

[16:01] <Xotix> hi, I installed ubuntu on a vm. I alo installed samba during the installation. now I can't find /etc/init.d/samba, i just can find /etc/init.d/smbd but I don't know if this is a shortcut for samba.
[16:01] <lab> Abhijit, I tried that process (fixmbr  from the windows Repair prompt), but it didn't seem to work. Everything is still definitely in tact though, because I have another drive that has the boot loader setup to boot the windows partition in question, and it still boots
[16:02] <aubreypwd> I am having an issue where all my windows are going grey, I can't access them, click on anything. Mouse still moves and I can CTRL+ALT F2 to get a terminal to sudo reboot. It just happens suddenly in Ubuntu 3d, not in 2d (so far)
[16:02] <b14d3> Xotix: smbd is the right directory, if memory serves. It's not a shortcut, they just changed some of their local software infrastructure.
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> Xotix  type file [filename] to find if it's a shortcut
[16:03] <Abhijit> lab, I am not sure if you can really install and use grub without /boot partition of linux. ask for help in ##windows
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> find out*

[16:40] <chipcash> hello all
[16:41] <chipcash> question
[16:42] <chipcash> I am currently running Ubuntu on a flash drive and want to know if I download something does it save it to the flash drive?
[16:43] <MonkeyDust> chipcash  a live session?
[16:43] <chipcash> Live?
[16:44] <chipcash> sorry I am new to this
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> if it's a live session, it's saved until you reboot
[16:44] <chipcash> oic
[16:44] <chipcash> Is there ant way of saving files to the flash?
[16:44] <rumpe1> chipcash, depends. If you created it with "persistence" it will store them on the drive i guess... somewhere..
[16:45] <chipcash> What is persistance?
[16:45] <rumpe1> chipcash, or just mount any other partition (that isn't a ramdisk) and save the file there
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> chipcash  did you select 'try ubuntu' when you booted?
[16:45] <chipcash> yes
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> chipcash  ok, then it's live and not saved on the flash drive
[16:46] <chipcash> I want to use the flash as my computer
[16:46] <rumpe1> MonkeyDust, are you sure?
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> rumpe1  try it, you'll see, you can save it to some other place, tho
[16:47] <chipcash> If I select default will it save it?
[16:47] <chipcash> I guess I should get a cloud account
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> chipcash  as rumpe1 said, guess you want 'persisent install' on the usb drive
[16:48] <kapz> hipitihop, I want to know if anyone is being asked for admin password in order to install updates through update manager
[16:48] <chipcash> how do I persitance install? I used Unetbootin
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> kapz  yes, it's normal
[16:49] <chipcash> I like the idea of carring my personal PC hardrive around in a flash drive
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> chipcash  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[16:49] <chipcash> thank you
[16:50] <kapz> MonkeyDust, but I am not being asked on my laptop, not even once! Is it safe? On the other hand on desktop I have to enter password everytime.
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> kapz  two thoughts: 1- in a live session, the passowrd isnt asked    2- someone may have disabled the password for allt things apt
[16:52] <b14d3> It's possible that the keyring is also allowing it access. I had mine set to do that when I used the gui
[16:52] <MonkeyDust> kapz  and yes, the repos are safe (be careful if you install from outside the repos)

[16:53] <kapz> oh okay that's what I wanted to know, thanks MonkeyDust :)
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> kapz  then it's odd it shouldnt ask for a password
[16:53] <MonkeyDust> ok :)
[16:53] <kapz> yeah it is odd indeed.

[16:55] <KScorp> hi
[16:56] <shadow98> dependency libx264-120 is not satisfiable <<<<<<<<<<<<--------- installing splashtop on 12.10
[16:56] <shadow98> how do i fix this?
[16:57] <mysterious> hi, very neat. ubuntu is greatly succeeding in pissing me off
[16:57] <mysterious> Besides the major instability - which all people i know experience - The Installation is a chaos since 12.10. When I am booting the Setup stick nothing more than a slice of the desktop screen shows up... i.e.: a slice of monitor width and approx. 10 pixels height... is there a workaround for this?
[16:57] <fishcooker> i've problem with my ubuntu device
[16:57] <b14d3> shadow98: Try sudo apt-get install libx264-120
[16:57] <KScorp> ok.it now works
[16:57] <fishcooker> bluetooth device
[16:57] <fishcooker> i think the kernel module not loaded
[16:58] <fishcooker> is the hardware not supported
[16:58] <fishcooker> asus a43sj
[16:58] <shadow98> b14d3: Unable to locate package libx264-120
[16:59] <b14d3> shadow98: Alright, one sec let me take a look at something
[17:00] <DrManhattan> mysterious, make sure your monitor is plugged in properly.
[17:01] <mysterious> DrManhattan, it is i have checked it ~5times - anyways it's a dualboot system and windows is running well
[17:01] <shadow98> b14d3: thanks
[17:01] <b14d3> shadow98: Going to take a shot in the dark, try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libx264-120
[17:01] <woozly> Guys, how to install Boost c++ library? :/ I have install it, but when I try to compile some example code from boost.org, with g++ -lboost_regex example.cpp -o boost .. I've got mass of errors :////
[17:01] <woozly> I don't know how to be with it :(
[17:02] <woozly> I have install it via bootstrap.sh
[17:02] <DrManhattan> mysterious, that is a mystery indeed! what GPU?
[17:02] <shadow98> b14d3: same thing...i know this worked on 12.04
[17:03] <mysterious> DrManhattan, It is a GeForce 8800GTS 640MB RAM and has worked very well up to 12.04
[17:03] <jrib> woozly: you can find the boost libraries in the repositories.  You can install them with apt.  I'm not sure what you did to install them, but if you didn't use apt, you should probably undo it
[17:03] <fishcooker> asus a4sj with windows* with BT work, but not with 10.04 LTS
[17:04] <DrManhattan> mysterious, on my 570, 12.04 works great with the exception of having no output between the grub menu and the first login prompt
[17:04] <DrManhattan> Maybe this is the death knell for nouveau, the driver from hades
[17:05] <mysterious> :/
[17:05] <jrib> mysterious: is there a reason you're doing a fresh install instead of upgrading, or did I misunderstand you?
[17:05]  * DrManhattan takes nouveau for a talk behind the woodshed
[17:05] <mysterious> jrib, in fact i had to change the hdd and wanted to have it fresh
[17:06] <mysterious> ^^

[17:06] <bazhang> aguadito, dont paste that here
[17:07] <aguadito> bazhang,  end the war on drugs, fascist
[17:07] <MonkeyDust> aguadito  wrong channel
[17:07] <jrib> mysterious: well you should probably file a bug, or comment on an existing one if the installer isn't working correctly.  But if you just want to get an install on there, you might use the minimal install cd, then throw in ubuntu-desktop.  Afterwards, you might still have issues with your screen, but you can work on troubleshooting from an already installed system
[17:07] <Hiro`> hi all, i'm having a problem with the =emacsclient= command in the shell. I have ubuntu 12.04, with emacs 23 running and server mode switched on. When I call emacsclient from the bash shell, it throws up and error message: "emacsclient: command not found".
[17:07] <Hiro`>
[17:08] <b14d3> shadow98: That's really bizarre. What did you say the software you were trying to install again was?
[17:10] <jrib> mysterious: there's also some option you can select when the install cd is first starting, but I forget how.
[17:11] <mysterious> hm
[17:11] <compdoc> wow, netflix seems to run on Ubuntu now
[17:11] <MonkeyDust> compdoc  yes, but with wine, IIRC
[17:11] <compdoc> no, without wine
[17:11] <mysterious> jrib, i think i'll try an alternate cd (it was completely textbased (terminal based) wasn't it?)
[17:12] <jrib> mysterious: it doesn't exist anymore :)  But you can use the minimal or server
[17:12] <mysterious> ;_; what are the developers doing
[17:12] <jrib> !nomodeset | mysterious
[17:12] <jrib> mysterious: try that
[17:12] <mysterious> jrib, ok
[17:13] <jrib> mysterious: some pretty pictures here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Changing
[17:13] <bjorn_> have you people tried sn0wl1nux
[17:13] <jrib> !ot | bjorn_
[17:13] <bjorn_> opinions?
[17:13] <compdoc> ooops - maybe it is wine
[17:13] <bjorn_> ok
[17:16] <Hiro`> does the emacsclient command need to be installed somehow? there's no indication that this is necessary from the documentation, but it seems very odd that the shell oesn't recognise the command. it has a man page for it.
[17:16] <mysterious> jrib, :D nomodeset did the trick
[17:17] <jrib> mysterious: cool
[17:17] <jrib> Hiro`: I don't use emacs much, but I can tell you that I have emacsclient here.  what does this return: ls /usr/bin/emacsclient*
[17:18] <Hiro`> jrib: it returns the following (in green text): "/usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs23"
[17:19] <jrib> Hiro`: interesting.  When you do "hash -r" in your shell, followed by "emacslcient", what happens?
[17:20] <Hiro`> jrib: it returns: emacsclient: command not found
[17:20] <Hiro`>
[17:20] <jrib> Hiro`: reinstall the emacs23-bin-common
[17:20] <jrib> package
[17:21] <woozly> Guys, I have manually remove some apt-get installed packages... and Now I want to reinstall it, but apt-get says, like: newest version installed (but I haven't it)
[17:21] <woozly> how I can remove info about installed packages
[17:22] <Hiro`> jrib: Sorry, I am very new to ubuntu and the shell. the command I want is: sudo apt-get reinstall emacs23-bin-common?
[17:22] <MonkeyDust> Hiro`  type emacs, see what it shows
[17:22] <jrib> Hiro`: yes, that should work
[17:22] <mindbreaker> is there anybody who knows something about vpn server's? especially with openvpn?
[17:22] <Hiro`> MonkeyDust: emacs works fine. I'm using it right now as an irc client.
[17:22] <mindbreaker> i need help with configuring openvpn
[17:23] <jrib> Hiro`: the postinst script for emacs23-bin-common is supposed to setup an alternative for emacsclient.  You seem to not have that for some reason even though you have /usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs23
[17:24] <jrib> mindbreaker: you're more likely to get help if you just ask your actual question; if someone knows the answer they will try to help you
[17:26] <Hiro`> jrib: the shell returned invalid operation when I tried "reinstall", so I ran the same command but with "install" and it returned (a bunch of stuff but the main thing seems to be): emacs23-bin-common is already the newest version.
[17:26] <Hiro`>
[17:26] <jrib> Hiro`: do apt-get install --reinstall
[17:28] <Hiro`> jrib: it returns: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[17:28] <dballester> hi to all, Ubuntu 12.04 32bits. As root I execute "update-rc.d -f mysql remove" but after reboot mysql is up and running automatically, anyone else aware of this strange behavior?
[17:28] <jrib> Hiro`: sorry, I meant: apt-get install --reinstall emacs23-bin-common
[17:29] <jrib> dballester: ubuntu uses upstart and mysql is an upstart script
[17:29] <jrib> !upstart | dballester
[17:30] <jrib> dballester: you can read about disabling services in upstart at: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files
[17:30] <dballester> ok, that means that we have a mix of old/new ways to manage the auto startup of "services"?
[17:30] <mindbreaker> okay, i configurated a vpn server (openvpn) that is behind a nat secure router, i already get a connection and i can also ping the server with client and the other way round too .. but i can't ping other hosts that are in the same vlan as the vpn server. im a newbie in vpn configuring and i hope someone is able to halp me :)
[17:30] <jrib> dballester: ideally, all the scripts would be converted to upstart now.  Sadly, that is not the case, so yes you need to check if a script exists in /etc/init .  If it does, then it's managed by upstart.
[17:32] <Dulcin> I'm hoping someone can help me here: I updated to 12.10, unity is not loading anymore and after logging in I only see my wallpaper. I have tried many tutorials online to fix it, from what I gathered my ATI (legacy) drivers are slow on updating and do not support xorg 1.13 yet, so I tried removing them, but the problem seems to remain.
[17:33] <Hiro`> jrib: that seems to have done it!
[17:34] <confrey> hi everybody
[17:34] <confrey> I need help about configuring a java applet on my web server;  the test page I did doesn't find the applet, and I don't know why
[17:35] <dballester> mindbreaker, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-951733.html
[17:35] <Hiro`> jrib: thanks a lot for walking me through that. cheers all.
[17:35] <jrib> Hiro`: no problem
[17:35] <confrey> can anybody help me?
[17:36] <dballester> thanks jrib for the info
[17:36] <neo1691> Hello guys!! I just ran a package update on my ubuntu 12.04 x64 and now i have a new file manager (the old one is there too) If i have a mounted a removable drive, it shows in the sidepane but when i click on it to open it, the device is unmounted. Also I automounted my windows drive whenever ubuntu starts. Whenever i click on then in the sidepane, an error message pops up saying that only root can mount them. None of these issue happens with the old file
[17:36] <neo1691> manager. Any solution?
[17:42] <mindbreaker> do i need an own vlan specially for vpn? i have the vpn server in the same vlan as the vpn clients get addressed
[17:42] <JamesJRH> lhavelund: Hey what? I'm English.
[17:42] <goddard> I am running terminator and have it setup to be displayed when pressed F12 but I am getting this error when I press F12 for the first time terminator crashed with AttributeError in get_system_focus()
[17:45] <dballester> goddard> I am running terminator <- which one ? T-1000? T-X ?
[17:47] <ajp>  hi all, working on a gs script that I seem to having trouble with. I'm using GhostScript's pdfwrite to reduce the size of PDF files but I'm losing ~20% of the image. pastebin: http://pastebin.com/aWQ2WB9v I'm not sure if there is an option for GS that i'm missing or using wrong
[17:48] <MonkeyDust> goddard  try screen instead of terminator
[17:48] <DarkSim> How do I verify the name of the harddrive with the MBR?
[17:49] <rlsj99> Is this the right spot for networking questions?
[17:50] <MonkeyDust> DarkSim  sudo fdisk -l   <- where the * is set
[17:51] <DarkSim> MonkeyDust, thanks!
[17:51] <ajp> Darksim: you can also type blkid for all the UUIDs
[17:52] <llutz> MonkeyDust: that * shows "partition is marked as bootable"
[17:52] <llutz> q
[17:52] <llutz> it says nothing about the MBR
[17:53] <rlsj99> Question about setting static IP, anyone?
[17:53] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: what is it?
[17:54] <rlsj99> Followed all directions, can't set static IP.  Can you help?
[17:54] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: 12.1 or 12.04
[17:54] <rlsj99> 12.04.1
[17:55] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: did you select manual in network manager and filled correct ip/subnet/gateway
[17:56] <rlsj99> Yes.  Problem there is at the end: "Save" is grayed out, tells me need to authenticate, but how?
[17:56] <fas> rlsj99: run as sudo
[17:56] <llutz> DarkSim: the MBR is the first sector of the first disk in system (/dev/sda most likely)
[17:57] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: is there a key button somewhere?
[17:57] <rlsj99> You mean "gksudo" under a terminal?  Tried that with nm-whatever, no dice.  How do I invoke the terminal manager using sudo?
[17:57] <rlsj99> No key button that I could see for authentication.
[17:58] <rlsj99> network manager (sorry)
[17:59] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: i don't know look at apt-file search network-manager
[17:59] <almoxarife> rlsj99: the command to start networkmanager is 'NetworkManager'
[17:59] <rlsj99> Do that with a terminal?
[17:59] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: yes.
[17:59] <rlsj99> Will you be staying on-line?
[17:59] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: maybe you need to install it, sudo apt-get install apt-file
[18:00] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: i think it's network-manager or gnome-network-manager
[18:01] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: so sudo gnome-network-manager
[18:01] <Sta1ker> gnuradio anyone?
[18:01] <almoxarife> !info NetworkManager
[18:01] <almoxarife> !file NetworkManager
[18:02] <Sta1ker> gnuradio anyone?
[18:02] <llutz> !anyone | Sta1ker
[18:02] <almoxarife> !nm-applet
[18:02] <Erin> is it true that so called 'surveilance' code is present in ubuntu related to amazon.com ?
[18:03] <Sta1ker> gnuradio compiles BUT seems to get stuck on test 54, does anybody has a clue why?
[18:03] <Sta1ker> Erin: sry, what do you mean?
[18:03] <rlsj99> Are you still there?
[18:04] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: i'm hear
[18:04] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: ^ here
[18:04] <Erin> http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/12/07/1527225/rms-speaks-out-against-ubuntu
[18:04] <rlsj99> Sorry, new user with Pidgin, hit wrong button.  When I type "sudo NetworkManager" it says already running.
[18:06] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: because it's always running, it detects any network changes
[18:06] <rlsj99> The problem is the "Save" is grayed out.  Would you mind repeating your "apt" suggestion?
[18:07] <Sta1ker> Erin: sry to hear that about canonical
[18:07] <Erin> Sta1ker, so am I
[18:07] <Erin> Sta1ker, guess i'll need to switch to debian :-(
[18:08] <Dougie187> Erin: you know that's from 2007 right?
[18:08] <Sta1ker> Erin: or openbsd
[18:08] <lkthomas> hey guys
[18:08] <Erin> Dougie187, no its from 2012
[18:08] <Dougie187> Erin: that link you posted says "Posted by Soulskill on Friday December 07, @11:39AM "
[18:09] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: Erin linux from scratch is also cool
[18:09] <Dougie187> Erin: ever the url has 2077 in it.
[18:09] <Dougie187> err 2007
[18:09] <Sta1ker> Erin: linux from scratch is also cool
[18:09] <lkthomas> I am running ubuntu 12.10 with GMA500 hardware, first half of boot screen works fine after installation, after Raw EDID, screen become blank, anyone have idea why ?
[18:09] <fishcooker> hello ubuntuers
[18:09] <Erin> Dougie187, rofl man.... December 7th 2012
[18:09] <Erin> aka TODAY
[18:09] <Dougie187> Erin: Oh. Got it. I think it was December 12 2007.
[18:09] <kelabot> hey guys, any idea how to secure a webserver from ping dos or ddos? and how can i track or monitor if i've been attaced?
[18:10] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: there should be a lock somewhere there, i don't run it on my system because that is the first first thing i remove after pulseaudio
[18:10] <Erin> Dougie187, are you stoned ?
[18:10] <fishcooker> i've problem with BT connection .. this is mine
[18:10] <fishcooker> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1417307/
[18:10] <almoxarife> the 'tool' offers an opt-out, so, its not exactly something big brother put in to get you!
[18:10] <Dougie187> Erin: No. I typically read dates as MM/DD/YY. So, 12/12/07 looks like Dec 12 2007 to me. But thanks for asking.
[18:10] <janisozaur> how do i prevent aptd from running at startup?
[18:11] <Erin> almoxarife, is this 'tool' only present in unity?
[18:11] <almoxarife> Erin: no idea
[18:11] <rlsj99> Sta1ker: But where's the lock?  The reason I want to set a static IP is because Samba apparently needs it.  The reason I want Samba is that the default networking software is strangely slow and intermittent for accessing Windows Networked machines.
[18:11] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: janisozaur i think it's in /etc/init , read about upstart jobs
[18:11] <Erin> almoxarife, it talks about it being present in 'dash' which is unity tigt ?
[18:11] <DarkSim> Why must Burg be such a gosh darn pain to install :/
[18:12] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: i've also removed network manager because i don't like programs taking to much control of things
[18:13] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: i'll check for you
[18:14] <janisozaur> Sta1ker, "sudo grep -rnE \\\<aptd\\\> /etc/ 2> /dev/null" finds nothing
[18:14] <rlsj99> 20 years ago I understood Linux (then Unix) at that level also, or so I thought.  Of course it was simpler then.  Now I have to putter with the graphical interfaces.  When they don't work, it's question time.  The whole problem, I think, is that none of the documentation uses consistent terminology.  Just that one item you supplies, the command line name of the network manager, is impossible to find easily.
[18:15] <Sta1ker> janisozaur: i think it's started by d-bus
[18:16] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: thats exactly why i remove half of the things, we should start working on an vintage-linux distro
[18:17] <almoxarife> rlsj99: the process name for networkmanager is 'NetworkManager' , the applet is 'nm', and if you dont want it , do a 'sudo apt-get purge networkmanager'
[18:17] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: exactly as almoxarife says
[18:18] <rlsj99> Thanks, but the trouble is I can't seem to make the alternative work as well as NM.  What we need, I think, is a replacement for the Unix legacy setups, especially X-terminal, and start with a new GUI having a streamlined underpinning.
[18:19] <mindbreaker> does anyone know where i can ask for openvpn issues?
[18:19] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: they're working on weyland now it's a complete new desktop or something similar
[18:20] <almoxarife> rlsj99: a sane alternative is 'wicd' , but if you are hardwired you dont need any of it
[18:20] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: what is wrong with the manual side of things without nm?
[18:20] <chisholm> Has anyone run into this problem: "LZMA data corruption trigger to kernel panic", when trying to boot from the live cd either cdrom or usb?
[18:20] <rlsj99> But if it's still based on X-terminal it won't really be better -- as soon as you need something a little less popular.  Can you recommend anyone who has Ubuntu working well with a home LAN?
[18:21] <almoxarife> rlsj99: i have home lan, works fine
[18:21] <janisozaur> !openvpn | mindbreaker
[18:21] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: i get everything working with pull and wifi radar
[18:22] <rlsj99> almoxareife: Do any of the other machines on your network run a Windows OS?
[18:24] <Sta1ker> gnuradio halts on test number 54 does anybody knows why?
[18:24] <almoxarife> rlsj99: they do by proxy, a server runs win7 via vbox, works fine too, your issues is with the router, assign the mac's to internal ip, lazy mans static
[18:24] <DarkSim> There we go, finally fixed my burg, hopefully it works now when I reboot
[18:25] <almoxarife> rlsj99: type 'almo' hit tab, life should be simpler
[18:25] <rlsj99> almoxarife: Yeah, I know about MAC-address security in the router, use it myself for the WiFi stull like smartphones and tablets.  But here I'm talking about a new Ubuntu installation on an i386 machine, connected by Ethernet cable.
[18:26] <almoxarife> rlsj99: does this machine get ip from router via dhcp? bet it does
[18:27] <rlsj99> It does now.  I've been trying for several hours to install static IP.  None of the directions work for that either.
[18:27] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: i remember that static ip was not my problem with nm(and my network is completely static) it was dns stuff that made me remove nm
[18:28] <almoxarife> rlsj99: i dont see where the issue is, you know how to set static at the router and at the machine
[18:28] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: you can make #service network-manager stop
[18:28] <rlsj99> Sta1ker: DNS works fine, along with Internet access, with DHCP.  It's the local area network that is intolerable.
[18:28] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: then try to run it again
[18:28] <grandMaster> Hola!
[18:29] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: my network is completely custom and nm couldn't figure out what's going on
[18:29] <puff> I upgraded my thinkpad t520 w/nvidia/optimus from 11.10 to 12.4 using the software updates dialog.  After several hours, the dialog said something like 27 minutes left.  Then it popped up a message about not being able to configure dmsetup.  Before I could fully read it, the screen went blank/black.  No GUI, no virtual terminals.  I let it sit for a couple hours more while I went out, in case it was still finishing those last 27
[18:29] <puff> minutes.   When I got back, still blank, so I held down power button to force shutdown and reboot.  It says there's a crash report, there's a crash report icon on the menu bar, but clicking it doesn't do anything.  Software updates doesn't show any updates needed.  How do I check to see if something went wrong and needs to be fixed?
[18:29] <almoxarife> rlsj99: the router is that thing that manages the local network, i really dont get what you are so confused about
[18:29] <nonkn4mer> has anybody set up a linux font server to serve fonts to a mac/pc blended environment?
[18:30] <rlsj99> almoxarife: (thanks for Tab tip) It's not an access issue at the router.  This is a _wired_ connection, no security involved.
[18:31] <rlsj99> almoxarife: As I told Sta1ker, the only reason I want static is because Samba requires it, Samba in hopes it will work better than NM.
[18:31] <almoxarife> rlsj99: i didnt mention security, STATIC ip is as easy as a DHCP reservation at the ROUTER!
[18:31] <Sta1ker> rlsj99: did you try to login as root to ubuntu
[18:31] <puff> tl;dr - my laptop appears to have crashed while upgrading from 11.10 to 12.4, what do I do now?
[18:31] <v0lksman> is there any reason when using Gnome Classic in 12.04 Desktop I can't right click on any panel and modify it?
[18:31] <almoxarife> rlsj99: you are talking in circles now, good luck
[18:32] <Sta1ker> v0lksman: because it's gnome 3
[18:32] <rlsj99> Sta1ker: Oh, boy, root is another can of worms.  I can't seem to get anything to work according to Ubuntu directions on the web.
[18:32] <puff> almoxarife: static at the router?
[18:32] <puff> rlsj99: Back up a step, what are you trying to do?
[18:32] <almoxarife> puff: mac reservation by router, yes, mine does
[18:33] <v0lksman> Sta1ker: is there a new tool then?
[18:33] <Erin> +++++++++++++
[18:34] <Sta1ker> v0lksman: i don't know maybe gsettings or gconftool
[18:34] <rlsj99> Original problem (otherwise new Ubuntu is great): Trying to access machines on my local network from the new Ubuntu installation (Acer portable, did run Windows Vista with slick networking), is incredibly slow and intermittent.  Four or five cycles of trying to display contents of a remote folder under "Browse Network" you might get the show and you might only get another timeout.  Intolerable!
[18:34] <media-centre> hey guys hows your day going
[18:35] <media-centre> oh you gotta love moby ,he does bring heart to the world of dance music
[18:35] <puff> almoxarife: Ah, yeah, assigning IPs by MAC at the router works, but I wouldn't call that static IP.
[18:35] <media-centre> especially 3 steps
[18:36] <puff> rlsj99: Yeah, that does sound suck.  And this is on a wired connection?
[18:36] <media-centre> anyway is their any way of automatically mounting a hdd without ... you know
[18:36] <puff> rlsj99: I had huge problems at one point, then I realized somebody had helpfully placed a sheet of corrugated metal in between my laptop and the AP...
[18:36] <WhereIsMySpoon> How come when i start my ubuntu up, my window manager istn started and i have to start it manually with alt-f2 each time?
[18:37] <rlsj99> puff: Right, wired.  The hardware worked day before yesterday under Vista.  I thought I should switch to Samba, but immediately became mired in the inability to set a static IP for this macine.
[18:37] <Erin> puff, it has advantages though. I've been running it at my house for some time now. Its effective when certain hardware needs to keep a certain address but other stuff comes and goes. Like my computers all keep the same ip's but when my friends bring stuff over they can automatically get an IP without me having to deal with finding them one.
[18:37] <hidn_shadows> Hey all, I'm running 10.04 on an old laptop. This hard drive was transferred from another, older laptop, and ubuntu wasn't reinstalled fro the new laptop- so I just loaded this laptop with the older laptop's hard drive, plug and play. It's been acting like it's shutting down, something about "hangcheck failed" in small text in the top left corner pops up, and then it says "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode". After rebooting, everything works fine,
[18:37] <hidn_shadows>  but it'll happen again the next day. Any insight?
[18:38] <media-centre> ok no chance of help then
[18:38] <media-centre> i know it was fstab or somthing
[18:39] <WhereIsMySpoon> media-centre: how about you google search "how to automatically mount drive in linux"
[18:39] <WhereIsMySpoon> there's<PHONE_NUMBER>1 guides
[18:40] <media-centre> whats wrong with asking here
[18:40] <media-centre> it is a help channel isnt it
[18:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> media-centre: yes, but you're gonna get it done faster by googling
[18:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> and its trivial
[18:40] <Erin> hes right
[18:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> if you try a guide and it doesnt work, then ask here
[18:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> but google first
[18:40] <Erin> + linux helps those who help themselves
[18:40] <WhereIsMySpoon> ^^^^^^^
[18:40] <Erin> the whole learn to fish principal
[18:41] <Sta1ker> Erin: thumbs up
[18:41] <Erin> seriously automount w/ fstab is like one line in one file
[18:41] <media-centre> why dont i just ask here skip the time wasting dissapointment
[18:41] <Erin> easy peezy lemon squeezy ;-p
[18:41] <Sharyari> Hi. Does anyone know what to do if I get "unable to open display :0.0" ?
[18:41] <media-centre> that may be
[18:41] <phunyguy_work> are there any devs around that can help me understand the exact steps that are taken when you select "Apply proxy settings system-wide" under network settings? I am trying to create a script to do this dynamically and I would like to know owhat system settings it modifies.  Thanks.
[18:41] <Erin> media-centre, if you can't figure out how to mount in fstab you are not going to get far in linux sorry but i'm not gonna sugar coat it for you
[18:42] <media-centre> so its still fstab then
[18:42] <Erin> yes... always has been afaik
[18:42] <media-centre> anything different layout wise
[18:42] <bulletrulz> lol uay im unbanned
[18:42] <media-centre> or is it still the same
[18:42] <Erin> media-centre, ......
[18:42] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: what are you trying to do?
[18:42] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: did you heared about tor?
[18:43] <phunyguy_work> Stalker, run a script (in KDE, not Unity) to change the proxy settings when my VPN is connected, and get rid of them when not.
[18:43] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: ^hear
[18:43] <phunyguy_work> and I would like it ti mimick what Unity does when you hit that button.
[18:43] <phunyguy_work> to*
[18:44] <Sta1ker> i think it's a env variable
[18:44] <Daxter> !fstab | media-centre
[18:44] <phunyguy_work> Stalker, I thought the same thing, but there are also changed settings in /etc/apt/apt.conf - etc
[18:44] <Daxter> thats how you auto mount drives
[18:44] <bulletrulz> IdleOne, im unbanned ?
[18:44] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: check what happens in printenv in each occasion
[18:44] <phunyguy_work> so I was looking for a list.
[18:44] <phunyguy_work> Stalker, some apps have different places to look for settings.
[18:45] <WeThePeople> how do i remove grub
[18:45] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: yeah
[18:45] <Erin> Daxter, he knows he just doesn't want to spend the 5 mins to figure out how to do it himself he wants someone to spoon feed him the answer which we all refused to do.
[18:45] <gustav__> When will the new stable nVidia driver come to Ubuntu 12.10? :(
[18:45] <media-centre> so you dont know if its the same layout on 12 as opposed to 11 or 10
[18:45] <media-centre> ok ill ask if i need help
[18:45] <Daxter> Erin: i did the ubottu tibit so that the wiki can spoon feed him the answer. problem solved.
[18:46] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: then it probably depends on the program you are using
[18:46] <Erin> Daxter, touche
[18:46] <Daxter> Erin: ?
[18:46] <Erin> Daxter, as in 'good point'
[18:46] <phunyguy_work> Stalker, I understand that, but I haven't found one thign that doesnt work yet after clicking that button in Unity, so I was looking to see what the button did.
[18:46] <Daxter> oh
[18:46] <Dulcin> I'm on ubuntu 12.10, I have removed ATI propriety drivers and installed the open source ones, but still unity is not loading - can anyone help me with this?
[18:46] <phunyguy_work> KDE doesnt have a button like that.
[18:46] <Erin> we just told him to google which also has the info 10M times over
[18:47] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: maybe in gsettings?
[18:47] <Erin> hell he could look at his own /etc/fstab and simply copy + paste the line for / and edit it to his needs lol.
[18:47] <Erin> thats how I learned the first time
[18:47] <phunyguy_work> Stalker, I doubt it.  It modifies configs also.
[18:47] <IdleOne> bulletrulz: come to #ubuntu-ops for a moment please
[18:47] <phunyguy_work> I dont wanna know what is stored in gsettings, I want to know what it is /actually/ doing.
[18:47] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: try #gsettings list-recursively | grep -i proxy
[18:48] <phunyguy_work> Stalker, that information is not useful.
[18:48] <phunyguy_work> I want to know what the DAEMON that monitors those settings does WITH the settings.
[18:49] <phunyguy_work> so I can put it in a script to run as a service.
[18:49] <phunyguy_work> "if this address isnt pingable, set up VPN and change proxy to this"
[18:49] <phunyguy_work> get what I mean?
[18:49] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: i was also looking for those variables a couple of weeks ago, when i run privoxy, vuze automaticaly tries connecting through it and i couldn't find why
[18:50] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: i get you
[18:50] <phunyguy_work> and I dont want to just route all traffic through the tunnel because I still need to access things locally in some spots.  I just want my browsing encrypted, etc.
[18:50] <phunyguy_work> as well as apt-get having to work.
[18:50] <Erin> phunyguy_work, are you trying to setup TOR ?
[18:50] <phunyguy_work> Erin, no.
[18:51] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: you can do what i did
[18:51] <phunyguy_work> Just want some privacy when on the road and connected through mcdonalds or whatever.
[18:51] <phunyguy_work> with zero interaction when I connect.
[18:51] <phunyguy_work> I already have the VPN automatically come up when away from home, and be down when at home.
[18:51] <kelvinella> hi did anyone here successfully have office2007 installed on wine in xubuntu 12.04?
[18:51] <phunyguy_work> when at home I dont want it to proxy.
[18:51] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: setup privoxy to always connect to your proxy and set a quick proxy button in your browser
[18:51] <phunyguy_work> when away I want it to proxy.  thats all.
[18:52] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: that is what i'm doing
[18:52] <kelvinella> and what is playon? is it better than wine?
[18:52] <phunyguy_work> Stalker you misunderstood "zero interaction"
[18:52] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: lol
[18:52] <phunyguy_work> aand its more than just browsing.
[18:52] <phunyguy_work> i want to mimick the apply system-wide button behavior.
[18:52] <WhereIsMySpoon> Hi, when I log into my ubuntu session, the window manager isnt loaded on startup, I get this in my ~/.xsession-errors: www.pastie.org/5495187
[18:52] <phunyguy_work> thats all.
[18:53] <kelvinella> playonlinux or wine? which one is better ?
[18:53] <phunyguy_work> !poll kelvinella
[18:53] <phunyguy_work> doh
[18:53] <phunyguy_work> !poll | kelvinella
[18:54] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: what about doing something with nmap to detect your enviroment and then make a script that changes the variables
[18:54] <phunyguy_work> Stalker because a simple variable change wont change the apt.conf file, or anythign else that needs to be changed.
[18:54] <phunyguy_work> wgetrc, etc
[18:54] <phunyguy_work> they have their own configs.
[18:54] <hidn_shadows> Okay, so nobody has any idea what the hangcheck error is about?
[18:55] <phunyguy_work> which is why I asked if there was a complete list of what is changed when you hit that button
[18:56] <phunyguy_work> because it is more than just variables.
[18:56] <WhereIsMySpoon> woah, you can ban by mac address?
[18:56] <jrib> phunyguy_work: what variables do you know about?  What changes do you know about that are not variables?
[18:56] <jrib> WhereIsMySpoon: ipv6
[18:56] <WhereIsMySpoon> jrib: ah, was a little confused lol
[18:56] <phunyguy_work> jrib, apt.conf, wgetrc.conf - etc
[18:56] <phunyguy_work> i am unaware of anything else which is why I ask.
[18:56] <WhereIsMySpoon> Hi, when I log into my ubuntu session, the window manager isnt loaded on startup, I get this in my ~/.xsession-errors: www.pastie.org/5495187
[18:57] <jrib> phunyguy_work: what gui tool are you using that modifies apt.conf?
[18:57] <phunyguy_work> and how does that button make the changes dynamic.  usually with the variable and config change you have to reload some stuff.
[18:57] <phunyguy_work> jrib, System Settings?
[18:57] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: it must be an envirometal variable or gsettings variable. that's how it works.
[18:57] <jrib> phunyguy_work: you could always read the source code
[18:58] <phunyguy_work> jrib, I could, if I knew where to get to that spot.
[18:58] <hidn_shadows> WhereIsMySpoon It's amazing what we can do with technology now, isn't it? ;-D
[18:58] <phunyguy_work> Stalker again, variables wont help.
[18:58] <Sta1ker> phunyguy_work: wget looks for protocol_proxy variable and so on
[18:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> hidn_shadows: except it wasnt a mac ban and i was wrong
[18:58] <bulletrulz> :D
[18:58] <WhereIsMySpoon> but never mind
[18:59] <hidn_shadows> Whereismyspoon Eh, oh well. No harm
[18:59] <jrib> phunyguy_work: I guess I'd start at gnome-control-center
[18:59] <WhereIsMySpoon> xD
[18:59] <phunyguy_work> Stalker - fair enough.  I just want to find out if there is anything else, and how to reload settings after the variable change to make it all start working for the entire system.
[19:00] <phunyguy_work> I already have the logic needed to figure out whether or not the proxy needs to be established, I just need to know how to actually establish it.
[19:00] <lkthomas> anyone have experience with gma500 ?
[19:00] <phunyguy_work> lkthomas, just ask your question.
[19:01] <jrib> phunyguy_work: apt-get source gnome-control-center, search for network-cc-panel, set_proxy, enjoy
[19:01] <lkthomas> [    2.128802] gma500 0000:00:02.0: LVDS-1: EDID block 0 invalid.

[19:02] <|Anthony|> When setting default acl values for a directory, files created within that directory are not getting the x bit as specified
[19:02] <|Anthony|> anyone care to shed light on that for me?
[19:03] <jrib> |Anthony|: do you have a mask set...
[19:03] <|Anthony|> indeed
[19:03] <|Anthony|> would it help to see my setfacl statement?
[19:03] <jrib> |Anthony|: getfacl might be more helpful
[19:04] <|Anthony|> one moment, i'll have the info compiled for web viewing
[19:05] <|Anthony|> jrib, http://askubuntu.com/questions/226588/setting-default-acl-for-a-directory-doesnt-properly-effect-new-files-in-that-di
[19:07] <WhereIsMySpoon> When I log into my ubuntu session, the window manager isnt loaded on startup, I get this in my ~/.xsession-errors: www.pastie.org/5495187
[19:08] <|Anthony|> any thoughts on that there jrib?
[19:09] <diego> hello
[19:09] <diego> any inglish speaking people ?
[19:09] <Mukhthar_Ahmed> Hello all,
[19:09] <diego> hello
[19:09] <diego> i love hybride evolution
[19:10] <Mukhthar_Ahmed> ubuntu 12.10 audio output keeps changing from analog output built in audio to headphone built in audio
[19:11] <|Anthony|> Mukhthar_Ahmed, blame #pulseaudio
[19:11] <ikonia> hang on
[19:11] <ikonia> you can't say that
[19:11] <|Anthony|> lol
[19:11] <ikonia> I don't find that funny
[19:11] <Mukhthar_Ahmed> |Anthony| : what is the work around
[19:11] <ikonia> you've not even got the problem
[19:11] <ikonia> or solution
[19:12] <ikonia> let alone the work around
[19:12] <|Anthony|> honestly i meant no serious offense. More sarcasm and personal grumbles with past experiences
[19:12] <kostkon> |Anthony|, not really. that's a driver issue, an alsa one
[19:12] <|Anthony|> i apologize
[19:12] <kostkon> :P
[19:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> remove pulseaudio and use alsa
[19:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> pulse is a pile of crap
[19:13] <|Anthony|> ^ i see im not alone with prior experience
[19:13] <ikonia> WhereIsMySpoon: please be quiet unless you actually have something useful to add
[19:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> in my experience anyhow
[19:13] <ikonia> this isn't your experience
[19:13] <ikonia> this is help the guy with HIS problem
[19:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> yes it is
[19:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> oh sorry
[19:13] <WhereIsMySpoon> i thought you meant something else ^^
[19:13] <ikonia> rather than just randomly blame pulse as you've had a bad experience
[19:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> When I log into my ubuntu session, the window manager isnt loaded on startup, I get this in my ~/.xsession-errors: www.pastie.org/5495187
[19:14] <WhereIsMySpoon> ikonia: sorry :)
[19:16] <|Anthony|> Mukhthar_Ahmed, it *could* potentially be a hardware issue. it should only switch on jack detection. So it's possible that the hardware is having a "fluctuation"
[19:16] <Mukhthar_Ahmed> how to switch over from pulse audio to alsa
[19:16] <|Anthony|> Mukhthar_Ahmed, have you tested with a different os on the same machine?
[19:16] <kostkon> Mukhthar_Ahmed, you are already using alsa
